i was using cn build 6.1.7 everything was fine
then popup for update i went to website and download full rom 6.1.14
then i renamed that downloaded file to update.zip and paste in the main sdcard folder
then i have already installed TWRP Recovery i went there and apply that update.zip
then twrp applied that zip and then i clicked reboot after applying it sucessfully.
then it stuck on MI Logo for 4 hours and then the same i tried everything nothing is working only i am able to enter fastboot mode.
i even tried Stable and DEV build both via MI PC Suite but it stuck at 50% saying " sending pmic.mbn "
Now from 3 days i dont have phone Really frustated even i applied with both accounts [email protected] and [email protected] none of them is approved yet for unlocking Bootloader.
MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS I HAVE CRITICAL AND CONFIDENTIAL DATA ON MY STORAGE CARD and Photos also but thanks to google photos for auto syncing it to cloud.

We are in the same boat mate..
Standing to lose all the data on my fone..
Thanks to xiaomi..

We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix. My personal opinion this "locked bootloader" is useless.. If someone doesnt want to play around with it they will just leave it. Anyway... The should be an update of Mi Suite soon that will fix this problem, thank god that I didnt update lol

Well most beta testers used Xiaomi's reccovery which worked fine with the update so they did not end up in a bootloop but for users like us using TWRP it was otherwise. Try doing a request again maybe? Write bit more details etc. I do apologise for the inconvenience of this update being released, I'm happy i never updated myself as I do use my phone a lot for business purposes which is very vital.

I'm using this, is it the older version? working well.
xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V7.1.4.0.LXHCNCK_v7-5.1.zip
No updates showing in updater. I s everyone saying they now have no phone?
I need phone for work why am I having no issues.
I see no way back as the update disables fastboot. Luck and only luck stopped me applying the update.

Posted another req for unlock..keeping my fingers crossed..

So whats the best course of action? thinking return to stable, lock bootloader and sell. Anyone got a better idea?

Exactly what @arkabose said. You can also disable automatic download.

So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

1. Due to large amounts of requests, please wait for 10-12 days after submitting your application. If you haven't get any info after 10-12 days, please make a thread on en.miui with your Xiaomi account number, we will check it for you. Thanks for understanding
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates
3. Some Mi Note Pro users could not unlock bootloader after updating to 6.1.12. This issue will be solved in the next update

I need you help. I NEED A SYSTEM.IMG COPY FROM TWRP RECOVERY PLEASE!

Hello everybody.
I actually have bought a NUBIA RED MAGIC 3 Europe model and after test I decided change the firmware to Cn because how you konw is more complete and better.
The problem has been that i´m traying to flash the GAPPS and I forget to do a Secure Copy whit TWRP Recovery and now, i have a importan problem.
After do differtent things with "ADB command" y delete my system, I think, becasue now i can enter to recovery mode, only acept "Fastboot mode" and never continue.
When I turn on, always go to "fastboot mode".
Can you send me a copy doing with TWRP Recovery that I could flash with ADB command???
I downloaded oficial CN and EU firmware ZIP, but, inside, it haven´t "system.img" for example and when I flash "Boot.img" and "recovery.img" I don´t get nothing.
Thank a lot and sorry but my regular english.
Please, help me.

I flash without problem "Recovery.img", or "boot.img" and other, but never continue, it came to "fastboot mode" .
I can´t enter to recovery mode, only "edload mode" and "fastboot mode"
What can I do?

Sakilxda. I have exactly the same problem. I just left my Chinese Red Magic 3 with a cellphone service centre to try an fix it. Another xda member besides myself had exactly the same issue.
I think these cellphones are very sensitive an have not yet developed a software support base.
The other xda member with a his unit stuck in fastboot mode tried to install TWRP like I did.
These cellphones are not for tinkerers like you an me who want apk gapps or TWRP.
The software support base for them needs time to mature.
Sorry buddy.
I have switched to an Mi9 that isn't sensitive an behave in a predictable way.

Read the forums mate. I cannot remember where it is but it's there. It's the Chinese version cells that have this issue. More an more owners are effected by it. Flash anything at all with a Chinese ROM an your stuck in an instant fastboot loop.
The member who fixed it is listed as a junior member on XDA.
That is total nonsense as he is way cleverer than me an I'm listed as a senior member

Mi a2 totally broken ''inside''

lately I was modifying my mi2 to be able to stay in miui 10, but I did a huge crap, which was first for not having taken the firmware update file at the time of the flash in twrp ... later of it he got the bootloader blocked and the twrp in black screen * probably by the state of the bootloader * then I tried to unblock it again, but persisted in the error '' token verify failed, plz reboot you device''ele reboot pro fastboot alone, but it was no good at all, because the mistake was the same .... but I like to do ****, so I went and tried the fastboot oem lock and then it ****ed up with everything .... now I have the system with the message (your system has been destroyed) and the bootloader blocked .... what makes it unusable and without any method of recovery ... the only things that still signal the life and the fastboot ... which is still recognized by the pc, and the edl mode, which enters, but does not work at all since the bootloader is blocked in the 2 steps ... and here I am, asking for help to you ... so, can someone save me from a beautiful spanking? I'm counting on you to save my skin ...
*I'm sorry for my horrible English, I'm Brazilian and it's the fault of that and google translator kkkkkkk*

Bro, i did a huge crap too. I dont know if this will help you but check this thread. Maybe help. i used this tool to unbrick my phone

brother, the problem does not go into edl mode, but the bootloader blocked ... so I can do absolutely nothing, since to have the bootloader unlocked I need the system to be able to recover the system, and I do not care WHAT IS WITHOUT SYSTEM I can not do this ... understand?
but, thanks for trying to help .... well worth it!

Bricked the phone and locked the bootloader! Seriously need help from you.

Hi friends,
I am telling you the whole story in a short way,
I have needed to root my devices, so I unlocked bootloader as it said on some web sites and install a new rom. Mine was Android 8.1 Nokia 7 plus TA-1046 600CN I think now its Pie 600WW.
After that that Pie did not work well on my devices, especially sensors and notifications was awful. So tried to downgrade to stock rom, but could not.
Right now, there is no rom on my device and bootloader and also locked the critical partitions.
I have TWRP recovery installed but i cant enter the recovery mode, the device is always in download mode even try to enter with volume UP + Power button phone goes directly download mode.
I have done something stupid with locking bootloader I agree but please help me to get out of this situation.
Its too bad without a phone
Thank you very much.

I dont know if it will work. Did you try to switch the partitions from A to B or B to A?
There are tutorials on how to do that via adb. I cant tell you exactly how to do it, i did it also from tutorials.

in both partitions it is saying Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot.
and
I cant go into recovery

That sounds bad. Sorry, im not that advanced.
Isn't it possible to force it into recovery via adb? I got no idea, just asking.

Unfortunately I can`t because the bootloader is locked I have to unlock it but I can not because I have to downgrade the bootloader from Pie to Oreo

It sounds like a bad situation indeed. I think you may be SOOL, but hopefully a way forward will become apparent. Otherwise a new device might be indicated ?

1.unlock bootloader
2.reflash firmware with tools.
for piehttps://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-workaround-flashing-sparse-t3906070
for oreohttps://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/workaround-flashing-oreo-firmware-t3793791

I ran into a similar situation and I installed the stock rom using NOST (Nokia Online Service Tool) and the stock rom in .NB0 file type.
If you need those files PM me and I can provide them for you, most likely you have them already if you unlocked your bootloader using TechMesto's service.

Redmi 8 stuck in TWRP

Hi
I'm pretty new on rooting devices, i did some times by the past on samsung s3 or iphone 3gs , after getting our water from the well.
But now i'm stuck. I install TWRP with minimal ADB, it goes pretty well, and then i decided to flash and install Lineage 17.1 . I did it by the book, put the img file on the phone, reboot on TWRP, selected my file and voilà, it flashed it nice, but when i reboot it boot straight to TWRP . There's no ways i can get past it.
Tried to reflash, reinstall Lineage but it 's still stucked.
What can i do to fix that ? i saved my personal datas but nothing else
Thnxs

Ok don't bother
I bricked my phone .
I tried to reinstall sotck rom , i downloaded a Global version , flashed it with MiFlash and it said " this MIUI can't be installed on this device " afterwards on the stock recovery screen
Can't Unlock the bootloader , can't do anything just because of a godammn "clean and lock all" box ticked by default. F*** It . IT was supposed to be a global version of the phone, why couldn't i reinstall a global stock ROM FFS ?

I am not using MIUI. Installed HavocOs. When I was using MIUI 4gb ram was always 50% occupied. But that never was problem. Old apps were open in background. In such a phone 4gb ram is sufficient. So I would say ram management may not be good as it always occupied 50% ram even if no apps were running. But never felt that running apps were stopped. can easily keep 4-5 apps(lite apps).

If you have checked clean and lock then your phones' bootloader is probably locked. Would you mind telling current status of you phone in details? Like:
1. does the phone show "Redmi by Xiaomi" logo while boots;
2. Is there unlocked written while it boots;
3. does the phone boot properly to stock rom (or whatever rom is);
4. does it have stock recovery.
5. What version of rom you flashed?
thank you.

Hi and thxs for the reply
so in proper order
1) Yes
2)No no more Unlocked at bootscreen (because of that ******* ticked box
3) No, it can't get past recovery. I was stucked at TWRP when i install Lineage (never had the chance to taste it) , now it's stuck at stock recovery
4) All I get is the 3 choices screen ( Reboot / Wipe Data / Connect with PC MIUI (the software management))
5) After lineage , i tried to flash Global ROM but after cheecking with the IMEI , it appears that i have a chinese version . IF Only i had taken the time to double check that , i bought the phone from a legit site (Not Gearbest and stuff). I think it was based on android 9.0
I 've dl Chinese ROM , Recovery and Fastboot , Now the phone has the back open , tried the pin contact, , it's recognized as Qualcom Port 9008 , so Miflash detectsit but evertime i try to flash either i can't get the hello packet, or Miaccount says i have not the authorization

Hi
I can't unlock it because when i install the global stock rom it relocked the bootloader and now i can't access MIUI

First of all stay calm. Your phone is still not hard bricked. As you have said that your stock recovery is working. In stock recovery it shows that "This MIUI version cant be installed".
Firstly, try to unlock bootloader again with mi unlock with same account you have used. This time it would not take the waiting period.
before plugging the phone boot into fastboot then plug to pc.
Do the same as you have unlocked before.
I hope it works.

Nope I tried virtually everything from 9pm to 6am and 9am to 2pm. NO way to unlock through MiFLash or many exotic tools in cmd prompt .
I just send it to repair center this afternoon , my 2 cents it should'nt take long to unbrick as there are still recovery and fastboot as you mentionned and repair centers have way more firepower than we do average fellas ... At least I hope they have
I keep you tuned

As i promised, here are the news
Reparation center with notoriously skilled technicians has not managed to fix the stuff to this day. Bootloader locked, tried with my Mi account , they were trying the EDL mode as i was calling them for news.
The sad part is, I had already tried this so I wished them better luck. It's been a few days so should they have succeeded, they 'd have told me by now. In fact they are not experienced enough with those Xiaomi protection so they're investigating. For the futures unfortunate owner's

EDL mode to use an authorized account is needed ... so you could not make it work, nor its experienced technicians

And I bet that only Xiaomi has this authorization , Xiaomi who has no official repair center in EU nor never replies to anyone.....

3000 years later......
I promised to keep you tuned.
I finally unbricked it today, thanks to @miauthofficial , as the tech around home didn't have necessary tools (or skills .... i think tools ) . It cost me 35 bucks but they got it working, with a chinese rom though (because i have a chinese phone :/ ) , with teamviewer and a bunch of top specialist tools
I can tell out of experience that's there are NO ways to unbrick it on your own
So i don't have multilanguage (only english , chinese , thai , japanese and arab ), no Google apps ..... That's why it sounds weird that i had everything set up out of the box . It wasn't a Global ROM, maybe a custom chinese rom?
Now i will carefully dig out how to get it to global versions , typing text on chinese rom is a pain in the ass

Believe it or not, i just had it charged, barely had the time to remove the charge cable, the phone sets on fire then exploded almost into my hands . I have some difficulties catching my breathe bcause of the smoke.

Does Redmi 8 have Test Point ? if it have, i believe we can use it to "unbrick" the phone, like what i do to my Redmi 4X.

Assuming you are talking about EDL.
As far as I know you need authorized mi account to do something through EDL for newer devices.

Can someone use TWRP or Orange fox backup for me to have the EFS folder of Redmi 8? Thank you..
