I was looking to install a custom ROM on my Redmi Note 8 and made a mistake that threw my smartphone into a bootloop. This is different than the typical bootloop that I'm used to seeing so I thought it would be a good topic for a video.

This boot loop keeps tossing up an error message that reads "The System Has Been Destroyed" and then continues by saying you need to "Press Power Button to Shutdown" and just a simple button press does nothing here.

Thankfully, we can still boot the phone into Fastboot Mode and manually install a freshly downloaded copy of MIUI. I've done tutorials on this in the past using the Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool but this time we'll just be executing the flash_all.bat file.

You can use the tool if you'd like. I'll leave a link to a previous unbrick tutorial I've done that shows the process. Since it's the same you can follow the basic steps and just replace the copy of MIUI that matches your phone instead.
