Can't flash TWRP

Hi. I decided to flash my Honor 3c with Cyanogenmod 12.1. My problem is that i need TWRP (now I have CWM) but i can't flash it to my device. I try to do it by SP Flash Tool, but after i connect my turned off device, I get this error:
BROM ERROR : S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (0x7D4)
[H/W] Fail to download DA to baseband chip's internal SRAM!
[HINT]: 1. There's an cable communication problem between FlashTool and BootROM. 2. Target might be shutdown unexpectedly or target lost power supply.
[ACTION] 1. Try again. 2. Proceed H/W checking in download cable and target side com port. 3. Monitor if power-drop occured in target side.

Is your phone in bootloader mode? Hold Vol down+power to enter fastboot mode and then connect your phone to PC.
If you are already doing that or the problem still persists and have an unlocked bootloader(which I am sure you have), try to flash twrp manually.

When I do it, my phone just turns on normally.
How can I check if I have unlocked bootloader? I have unlocked it about 1 year ago, but I did full wipe yesterday.

Vol down+power should boot into fastboot. Turn off the phone, hold both until honor logo shows up, let go of power but hold vol down for about 5 sec more.
If still the same, Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to phone, hold Vol down and connect the cable to computer. It should boot into bootloader now.
If it can not boot into bootloader still, the last is to try adb but that is a bit lengthy.
In bootloader mode, it will be written on phone screen in red whether phone is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Wipe does not effect bootloader status so it's still unlocked imo.

Nope. Maybe I was wrong and I have never unlocked it? I don't remember, but I did something when I was upgrading my phone to Android 4.4.2

At least it should say, phone locked. Saying nothing is a phenomenon i never heard before but I usually go for newer versions. May be that's the case.
Anyways use adb to fire this command
Fastboot OEM device-info
To be sure if its locked or not.
To setup adb, download and install latest Android SDK, run the program and only download platform-tools.
Your phone is international variant and it came with locked bootloader, I am sure sp tools unlocked it coz otherwise CWM could not be flashed.
Right click platform-tools folder and select run command prompt window here and type the above command
If the bootloader is unlocked (it will tell you if it is), copy the twrp image to platform-tools folder and rename it to twrp.img and fire this command
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And try to reboot into recovery after disconnecting from pc and simultaneously holding power+ Vol up.

edit: nevermind, i forghot about something...

You dont have your phone drivers installed. Google Huawei USB drivers and install them or use hisuite to install drivers for your phone.
After driver installation, do the same process again.
My bad. I assumed you would have drivers already installed

Hisuite is the best option. Even if that does not work (there is a chance of that), Google Kouch's universal drivers and install those.
May have to manually install dribers if nothing works.
Lemme know how did it go. Will get back to you in the morning if nobody else came along (but someone surely will before that).
Have a nice day/night depending on your time zone

I installed Hisuite and connected my phone. Windows have downloaded drivers automatically. And still the same...
But I forgot to tell you that when I connecting my switched off phone, my pc says "USB Device Not Recognized" (or something like that, I dont have english version of windows). Everything is ok when my phone is switched on...
This phone is cursed. I try to give up and stay on my current ROM, so I installed Nova Launcher, but setting it as default doesn't work :/
Thanks for trying to help me anyway.

I was awake just for your post. I think I got the problem. You need fastboot drivers imo but I would have to read a bit before I can suggest how to go about it.
Am busy tomorrow but will try to get back to you in the evening (GMT+5 time zone).
Can never be 100% sure but still I am confident, your problem has a solution. Just bear with me a day or two

Boot into recovery mode, no matter on which recovery are you on, and execute this command:
Code:
adb devices
And see the output, if it says something like:
Code:
**some_number** recovery
then it means there is no problem in the detection of your device by PC, if it does not, then check if the micro USB socket in the device is in good condition.
And I must ask: Are you able to do any operations on device via PC after connecting it?

I had the exact same problem, it happened randomly after a normal reboot. I was considering taking it apart to disconnect the battery, try a deepflash cable and EDL but then I solved it.
The problem is your Windows driver. That's why you can't flash anything. Read up on Xiaomi forums about the problem. I can't remember exactly how I solved it, but I think I uninstalled the driver, plugged the phone back in, wait for the automatic install on Device Manager, then for it to update, do a roll back and then flash it via MiFlash.

Thanks. THat must be the problem. But i tried on my friends pc too and it did not work. Maybe Windows 7 is the problem? Im installing Windows 10.
Which OS do you have?

I don't think Windows 7 is the problem, but I've been using Windows 10 for 3 years (as Beta user) so I can't tell. Boot into EDL (Phone must be powered off, then hold both "Volume UP" and "Volume Down" as you plug it into the computer, only then do you let go) and tell me what driver your phone is seen as in Device Manager.

Black screen problem

Hello guys,
I've got my new Mi 9 and I was totally happy with it. But there is this problem which occurred the second day of having it. I was in work, taking some pictures, then put the phone in pocked and everything was totally perfect. About a half hour later I wanted to check something and suddenly there was only a black screen. I tried waking it up by button, putting it on a charger, connecting to the PC. Nothing helps. I don't see anything even when I try to reboot the phone or do the fastboot or go into the recovery menu. When I push the display in a place where the fingerprint scanner is it vibrates, on charger the LED is shining.
Does somebody know what should I try or how should I solve this problem?
Thank you very much for help.

Hello, I have the same problem with my 9SE. You found an answer for your problem?
Regards Jenny

How is your problem? Is it solved somehow?

same problem
My mi9 se has the same problem. Managed to solve?

My MI9 has suffered that TWICE today.
Any known bug? Or what? Solution?

Same problem with MI A3.. what is the solution ?

We are in a state called "hard brick".
You need to get your phone into "EDL mode"(Google will show you how to get there), when it gets recognized by you PC as "QDLoader 9008" device, you are ready to go.
Normally you would flash a fastboot image or programmer via Qfil, unfortunately for Xiaomi devices, you need to authorize yourself as a Xiaomi developer before you can flash...So no chance for one of us.
There are some guys out there, willing to login with their account via Teamviewer on your Pc so you can flash the image (will cost ~$15)
Search the web for "Xiaomi EDL unbrick" or "authorized xiaomi account" and you will find what ou are looking for.

Sorry, I had no trouble with the camera

I have the same issue with my mi 9 SE. I had it for 6 months and one day, while sitting on my table I got a message and when I tried to unlock the screen remained totally black. All the rest is exactly as you described. I can even use it via sync on my car but I cannot access it from my computer. Not able to backup or even do a factory reset. Were you able to solve it?

I have had the same problem, my fix didnt involve anything software based - i took the back panel off, disconnected wireless charger, disconnected battery connector to motherboard, plugged in charger and attempted to power on a few times, left the battery disconnected for a while and then plugged battery in and left plugged in charging and it sprang to life after a few minutes charging.
This could've just been my luck but it might also work for others.

Question My Mi 11 is not turning on (black screen) no edl mode

after seeing the new custom roms for the Mi 11 i jumped straight on and flash PE 12.1 and it bricked on me (gotta pay like 10 bucks), after that i went on another try with Evo X with no luck having no boot animation (only the Mi Boot splash) ,boot loops. after all of that i came back to xiaomi.eu 12.5.9 (twrp version) thats the end of the day. Next morning i tried my luck again leading to a brick with no solutions. i flashed twrp and reboot into the bootloader and it never wakes up again (no edl)

If you have windows PC and in device manager PC still recognize driver 9008 you are good to go. For another edl unbrick. If not , check your driver's and USB ports . Change ports etc

Ok., Open the back find the pins and shorten. I manage to do this, but couldn't install. For this you really need someone with authorized account that will get codes from manufacturer... Etc. Good luck

Try to remove the battery and press on the power button at least 2 minutes.

Open your phone and connect edl pin points,
By the way, you need to have proper MIUI 13 installed before flashing thise roms, and if you used twrp to flash it, that's not the way to go
