HELP!! Bricked MI 8 SE

Hello,
I bricked Mi 8 SE with locked bootloader and no recovery... After Mi logo, a message "The system has been destroyed" appears.
How can I flash the stock rom without waiting for unlock permission? Is there any way to enter EDL mode without opening the device?

What you did?

Tried to change from stable to dev with xiaomitool. Now only fastboot is available but it's useless with a locked bootloader. Perphaps I can restore the device with mi pc suite? It's does not seem to recognize the device though

If you can access to Fastboot then you should be able to install stock miui fastboot rom. You can find the rom here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0703-t3812600
Instructions for fastboot installation: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Sorry I overlooked you are using Mi8 SE. In this case you should wait official stock fastboot rom. The rom will be available on official en.miui.com

Hi
I have the same problem
you did not find a solution?
I have already opened the device and tried to download via EDL MIFlash
But it did not work out
the error always appears ERROR: Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication.
and after the "You are not authorized to Download !!!"

In my case, I was able to boot the device by typing "fastboot continue" in fastboot mode (if you see the offline battery charging screen do it twice).

Hard bricked Mi 8

Hello,
I have hard bricked my Mi 8 doing that :
1. install TWRP 3.2.1 (successfull)
2. backup of original phone setup (everything was checked)
3. trying to flash xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 (latest realease)
4. booting (unsuccessfull, not bootloop but after MI android logo doesn't boot up)
5. so i decided to restore my backup (just data unchecked)
6. press reboot (and it didn't reboot)
The actual situation :
When i try to press the power button the phone doesn't boot, If i try to go into recovery mode it doesn't boot and same for fastboot mode.
The screen is unresponsive (no backlight) and it doesn't vibrate. When i connect the phone to my computer it is automatically recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5) which correspond to the EDL mode (i think).
I tried :
1. miflash (using 2 different fastboot china dev rom found on the XDA recovery post for mi 8) --> the mi 8 is automatically recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5) without using deepflash cable or pressing any button and I got an error : "ERROR: Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication."
EDIT : I updated my Miflash tool and now i have to connect to my Mi account BUT i have to be EDL authorized by Xiaomi to flash repair my phone
2. deepflash cable (but it changes nothing)
3. mi flash pro : it open miflashtool
4. mi pc suite : nothing
I don't understand why it is bricked considering i just restored a working setup but it the most hard brick i have ever seen.
If someone can help me or suggest an option i'll give it a try and keep you updated.
EDIT : i understand now , it is due to the Anti-Rollback system that xiaomi implemented in their rom (we can't downgrade) + the necessity to have an EDL authorized account
Thanks you
PS : i can post MiFlash log if it can help

And with mi pcsuite?

Didn't try it but i was thinking this software wasn't updated since 2015. I just see right now that the 3.2 beta is released and Mi 8 is supported.
Thanks for that, i'll give it a try tomorrow as i can't do this that night.
I'll keep you updated.

Did you format data, your backup... Was it global or chinese?

My initial ROM was the vendor rom (Mi global store on aliexpress) and i think it is a fake "official global rom" on MIUI 9.5 so a modified chinese rom.
The xiaomi.eu ROM was the MIUI 10 8.7.26 for Mi 8.
Before every flash (or restoration) of ROM I format DATA, CACHE and DALVIK.
btw i didn't format data, cache and dalvik after the restoration. I just press the reboot option of TWRP and it never booted again.

Omg. I'm afraid. My mi8 came with global 9.5 china (in facto it's chinese version) and i've put MIUI 10 beta 8.7.12. In 1 week I'll be able to unlock it and put global rom (my language is portuguese). But after reading this, i'm not motivated. Sad. Hope you'll can fix It. Crossed fingers here!

Yeah it is weird... that's the first time i see such a problem on an android (and Xiaomi device).
Actually you can flash TWRP (I suggest v3.2.1) without any problem but backup/restore didn't worked for me and flash xiaomi.eu didn't worked (but it didn't bricked my mi 8).
EDIT : I have some "news" but i'm not sure about that. I think there is something about the anti-rollback system : as i flashed MIUI 10 and restored back to MIUI 9.5 (downgrade) it activated the ARB system and hard bricked my phone (maybe).
I checked others forum and a guy named MyReghalia on en.miui.com forums have EXACTLY the same problem as me and he didn't figured it out with that problem.
BTW maybe with an EDL authorized account i'll be able to flash via Miflash but find someone who has an authorized EDL Mi account to borrow or EDL authorize my account is an other problem....

Did u flash the right recovery.img on the mi8?if so what partitions u restore?faulty recovery?....is weird i have never see ql9008 mode unless the recovery is broken and restore an partiton in the wrong slot

You need to try the EDL method

Here try this

Yep, i flashed the v3.2.1 -0611- for Mi 8 availible on the XDA forums. It worked and i had access to the custom recovery.
When I backuped/restored I checked all the options availible and didn't touch anything about partitions. Maybe it is a faulty recovery but actually i have some clues because, IMO also it is weird that my device is automatically recognized as ql9008 mode. (BTW it seems to be a well known problem on redmi note 5/pro)
I checked on diverse forums and there is the ARB (Anti-RollBack system) that xiaomi put inside their rom and doesn't allow to downgrade android version or miui firmware unless a brick occurs. The only way I found to get back my phone is to contact xiaomi repair services and asked them to repair my phone because they have authorized EDL mi account (it is something pretty new, before we had acces to flash in EDL mode without account, now it is regulated by xiaomi....)

I did try (it is the way i used in Miflash with fastboot rom availible in the same post than TWRP v3.2.1 -0611-) and i need an EDL authorized account to do that

Thanks you but actually i don't need to do the test point method because my phone is already and automatically in EDL emergency mode.
BTW it is the good way to do it but unfortunately i don't have any EDL auth account...
With everything i read on different forums i'm pretty sure that rom development will be extremely difficult until a way is found to get around this ARB system and EDL authorization account that doesn't allow to repair our bricked xiaomi phone.

Very bad they ask for an account even with emergency EDL repairs.

Hello, my mi8 I have it more than a month ago and came with the Chinese ROM, then update from the phone to MIUI 10 Chinese beta, then using Miflash to rom.eu MIUI 10 and then again through Miflash to the last global 9.5.14.0 and I have not had any problem PPR what I think At least in my case that Xiaomi has not activated the Antirollback in the Mi8, forgive my English, greetings

Ahhh I forgot, before doing all that had unlocked the bottloader through Miunloock and the last ROM that had flashed the global I forgot to unmark that blocked the device and the phone was in Bootloop, so I went back to unlock the bootloader and Ripped smoothly

There are only 2 ways to bring back to life the MI8 with brick
1.-Xiaomi Authorized Account (Miflash)
2.-Latest version of China stable in my case I need the 9.5.14.0 and there is only the 9.5.11.0 for Flash by Mipcsuite 3.0 China
(Mipcsuite 3.0 Chinese version allows flash with blocked bootloader)

Mipcsuite does not allow flashing via EDL.

I have the same issue before and I got the solution form miuieu forum.
After installing miui 10 from miuieu, you need to format data. Then bring up to home screen successfully.

Hi ,
Actually the only way to get back a hard-bricked Mi8 ( no fastboot , no recovery) is through MiflashTool with an EDL authorized account , there isn't any way to do this because MiPcsuite doesn't recognize an hard bricked device.
By the way it seems that this problem is not well known on XDA forum I strongely invite you to speak about that on these forums (BE AWARE) and to take a look at xiaomi forum, where it seems a bigger problem than here (a LOT of people, from India , China and everywhere around the world are in the same boat...).
The problem begun with the note 5/pro (you will find more about that on this device's forums)
Also, i returned back my Mi8 because of the xiaomi's politics about the liberty to self repair (software) our phone and i get to oneplus which allows us to do whatever we want...
Good Luck and peace

The problem is you need an authorization buy Xiaomi doesn't provide them anymore.

Press and hold power button for longer period, your phone will reboot for sure.

Hi.
I've purchased china xiaomi 12 pro with india rom installed and unlocked bootloader and tried to flash global rom and lock bootloader.

then I tried to unlock bootloader in order to flash china rom but the mi unlock showed a massage for entering an account in "developer options > Mi Unlock Status".
since then phone stuck at fastboot and wont turn of. even when i force it to turn off it restarts in fastboot mode!
how can I unlock bootloader without access to developer options or flash stock rom?

Question Bricked Mi 11 Pro, need help with auth in EDL mode

I tried to install a firmware for my Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro using the Mi Flash tool, but I accidentally left the option to lock the bootloader again selected. But when trying to start the system, the device says that Miui is not compatible with my device.
Then I tried to use Miui Unlock, I even manage to log in with my miui account, but the procedure is interrupted and says that to continue with the bootloader unlock I need to do some steps in the system, but I no longer have access to the device's system.
But I managed to open the device and put it in EDL mode, but it asks for miui account authorization. What I have to do? Or someone would it have the unlocked file, the firehose for the mi 11 pro?

AFAIK there's no patched firehose for Mi 11 series.
You need to find paid EDL flash service.
Search in Telegram .
