Mi 5S Plus stucks at Linux Penguin icon - Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers

Any suggestion for my situation,
The phone suddenly crashes then reboot and it never boot normally again. Only the Linux Penguin icon on screen whatever I tried any vlume combination to get into Fastboot, Recovery. It's useless.

what's your OS?
MIUI doesn't have any penguin logo... not even on boot....
that's Linux Penguin mascot....

Install Gentoo

ha?
you installed Gentoo in your phone?

This is the default boot icon for the android kernel. Either your logo/splash partitions are corrupted (unlikely, because it still should boot), you flashed the wrong ROM, or your system partition is corrupted.

[Q] Recovery mode hangs

When booting into recovery mode, the system hangs.
(It can boot normal without a problem)
The device had JB without root, so did the following:
1. Installed the ASUS bootloader unlock utility
2. Installed TWRP 2.3.1.0
3. Installed CleanROM 2.4
Now, when booting into recovery mode:
Via the shut-down menu, the system reboots into the white ASUS logo screen and hangs
Via power+volume Up, and selecting the [RCK] icon, the system hangs (the top left of the screen says "Booting Recovery kernel image")
I'm guessing the system is looking for a ROM file and simply can't find it.
Do you guys ROM experts know what I did wrong and what the fix might be?
After reinstalling TWRP - Recovery mode is working again!
I'll leave this post up in case it happens to anyone else.

Probably bricked my zenfone 3 ultra... :/

So I was interested in getting a root, did fastboot boot twrp.img, the version you get from shakala's megaupload page and tried to do a mtp mount to copy the supersu in. That didn't work because I'm on mac and I rebooted... surprise phone doesn't boot. It's just stuck on the 'asus, in search of incredible' screen that comes up 1 second after booting.
Tried to instead flash twrp to recovery, no dice, black screen. Tried flash stock recovery from the shakala's page, I get the droid belly up with an exclamation mark over the open belly...
Tried fastboot boot twrp.img and then sideload the actual OTA firmware, no dice. It won't even try to flash and just gives the 1001 error.
I have tried and unpacked 3 different stock images I've found
UL-ASUS_A001-WW-14.1010.1702.36-user.zip
UL-ASUS_A001-WW-14.1010.1703.42-user.zip
UL-ASUS_A001-WW-14.1010.1704.46-user.zip
and flash the sytem.new.dat to the system partition, no dice again. Phone just doesn't boot.
TL;DR
Something got wonky, phone doesn't boot
Recovery is broken, flashing stock recovery from shakala's page produces belly-up-android image
Without stock recovery, I can't sideload a full system update...
Halp? Ideas?
Got a little bit progress...
The TWRP black screen can be fixed by just turning off the display via the power button and then pressing it again, and you can see the twrp. Looks like even the normal one
Next hurdle was that /cache and /system couldn't be mounted for sideloading so in the end I had to go to the adb shell and format them manually. Then the wiping of system was possible and there were no more errors from TWRP.
So I went ahead and tried sideloading again, it put the image in nicely and everything looks good. Go to reboot screen and it say 'no OS installed'.
I guess those 1.7G images don't exactly have the full OS so a /system formatted Zenfone 3 Ultra can't be restored from those?
Alrighty, got stuff working. Sharing for people who might run into this later.
At this time, you need the stock recovery working to be able to `adb sideload` a full image. The TWRP goes to 50% and then actually doesn't unconditionally push the stock ROM into the partition. I saw the difference when using TWRP/Stock Recovery.
My biggest failure was not to recognize that the green android belly up with an exclamation mark on top of it actually meant that the stock recovery was working. You have to do a little bit more finger juggling to actually enter the recover commands section of the recovery. Mainly after the android appears, volume up+power for a few seconds, release volume up. Illustrated here:
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/in/thread-121896-1-1.html
From the stock recovery, you can then wipe caches and start adb sideload, and using your pc to sideload the image (or from sd card if you so wish).

I can testify that the 1.7G image contains a full OS on /system.
If you read META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script inside the UL-ASUS_A001-WW-14.1010.1704.46-user.zip, you will see the official recovery do use system.transfer.list and system.new.dat in the zip to flash /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system.

When you see the belly-up-android image, press Power + Volume-Up. The stock recovery menu comes up. I was confused at the beginning, too.
From you id Tokyo, did you buy the phone in Japan? If so, it is a JP_Phone, and need some tweak to the initrd in boot.img to flash WW firmwares.
Oh, glad to see you've already solved it! You might want to mark the thread title as "[SOLVED]".

Need help flashing Katkiss 6.0.1 , Recovery Partition Not Found / Nothings Working

So, I just decided to try and Flash the old TF101 with Katkiss 6.0.1 and Gapps, but I always get stuck on the same problem.
My TF101 is running Android 4.0.3 ICS and USB Debugging is on
I downloaded TWRP app on the transformer, as well as the latest .blob flash file through the app.
Before this, I rooted the tablet using Kingroot.apk, which worked. When I went to flash the tablet with the recovery, the app noted "Recovery Partition not found".
I tried to boot into recovery mode on my own, (Pressing Pwr + Volume down , Then hitting Volume Up), The android screen popped, up and then flashed to a fallen android with a red triangle.... The screen stays on this for a minute and then boots into the normal system. I can't even boot into recovery through ADB, using the
Code:
adb reboot recovery
, The tablet will just reboot normally, not into recovery mode.
The Device does recognize through ADB....
Is my recovery partition just non existent? Even when I just let the system though without pressing volume up, it only gives me the option of (Android) or (Erase Data). when I click erase data, ill stay on the asus loading screen indefinitely and nothing will happen until i turn it off and on.
I just cant seem to boot into TWRP for some reason, and that means I just cant install the downloaded custom ROM.
How Can I fix this and boot into TWRP? I've tried for hours and have been hung up due to the same problem each time, even after rooting.
Did you already solve that problem? I also need a solution.Thanks

Huawei Watch 2 Pro (Shawshark) stuck in horrible bootloop

My relatives have gotten this watch gifted to them a while back but it was in chinese so to get it to English I had to unlock bootloader and flash the room. But while doing so I by mistake flashed twrp instead of booting into it on the Recovery Partition right after unlocking bootloader and after rebooting, it was stuck in a horrible bootloop. Why is it horrible?
So the problem is, it keeps booting into twrp, fails to mount data cache and everything, shuts down and reboots again, shows a warning that it can't detect an operating system and continues to boot into the same twrp recovery and so on. When I try to boot into bootloader, it says to go to g.co/ABH and read instructions to proceed, but after holding down the button to continue to boot, it goes back to the same bootloop.
I cannot boot it into bootloader or get it into fastboot, I can't do anything in twrp and I can't boot into os (cause of course, there is none). Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've been struggling for 4 hours with this today. I'm really scared that I've completely bricked it and can't restore it .
I can see it in adb devices while it's in twrp and twrp is freaking out then shutting down, but I can't even side load a rom to even install something I can boot into.
Link me a thread if there is one where this problem gets fixed or help me please. Thank you!

Question No system, recovery or vendor partition and No Touchscreen

So on my OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite I was trying to root it. So I did everything extracted the boot image, patched it, flashed it and when my phone starts up it shows this boot animation and then it asks me for my pin. But when i try to input it the nothing happens the touch screen is not recognizing my touches. It can't be a hardware issue because I got the phone today and it worked like an hour ago before doing the rooting. When i boot into the pin screen and try to use adb to reboot it says: error: insufficient permissions for device. Then after a while the phone reboots so this is practically a boot loop. When i try booting up the phone it is really weird it starts the boot up process after a while and it shows the android and OnePlus booting screen then it has the red dot with the white dots going around it and then a black screen and then it either restarts again or it shows the pin screen.
I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rooting-oneplus-nord-2-ce-lite.4500297/
...download the correct firmware version for your device (EU / India), bring up fastboot, change slot, flash firmware and done ...the only thinkable reason is, you didn't wait until the phone downloaded the OTA update after unpacking it "one hour" before
I tried to wipe data but then I got stuck on a screen that requires a verification code that I obviously can't enter. And I can't reboot I have tried everything. When I hold the power button and nothing happens at all. I guess I have to wait for the battery to run out.
Okay, so now I got out of that using vol+ and power. But now I realized that the problem is that I had a different version of the boot image compared to other partitions. For example the boot image is like version 3.27 but everything else is version 2.85 (Those aren't actual versions just an example) But when I try to flash the system, vendor and product image it says: remote: '(system_a) No such partition'
or whatever image I'm trying to flash like product_a or vendor_a
Everything else works just those don't and the phone boots into recovery mode but I still can't use touch controls.
use "OppoRealme-OFP-Flash_1.0-x64_Windows" it will flash every thing.
//edit : one time it worked.
After i bricked in again. It's not working. Boot loops
