Hi Michael,
I have a Redmi Note 5 Pro, which is stuck on Fastboot. I am not able to boot into recovery, and the system partition is not available on the device, as I accidentally deleted it. Could you please help me if you have any idea about this?

Thanks,
Amey

How can I backup my userdata before flashing the new ROM? I have a crashlooping miui.systemui.plugin and it always goes into the recovery after a few UI crashes once it booted up. My Bootloader is locked with the USB debugging off.
