We have the EXACT problem. Hope someone can help us.

Same problem... i'm getting desperate

I resolved it...
The problem is that the bootloader has locked again, you will need to remake the bootloader unlock process. So Download "mi flash unlock tool" again and use your account to unlock it
Sorry for my bad english... :s

[URGENT HELP] Pure stock Redmi 4A bricked (No Usb debugging or anything enabled)

Hey Guys,
One of my younger brother some how managed to brick a stock 4A, and when starting it up, its stuck at the MI logo, however I am able to go in the Fastboot and stock recovery via the side volume and power buttons and the phone is charging while powered off.
I have tried factory resting via the stock recovery, but no use, still stuck at the logo.
Is there any app or software like odin (for Samsung), where I can flash a stock Rom in fastboot via my pc? If so can you please share the link to the thread or step by step instructions to do so?
i want to share again, its stock with no Xiaomi account or any USB debugging enabled from the developer options as it is pure stock. I have also attached the pictures of the phone with this message (I know it won't help, but just in case).
I want to thank every one for giving me their time in assisting me in resolving this issue.
Have a great day.

Thank you bro, I tried, it, firstly it said Error: Flash Tz error" on flashing the rom via Mi flash. I did extracted it two times as stated and also tried extracting it once and I also tried placing the folder in C:/ drive (root), but the problem persists.
Also, I tried changing the drivers in device manager, but no use. I also downloaded ADB drivers, which gave me Xiaomi adb boot loader drivers but same issue.
Regarding the EDL, double clicking on edl.cmd, just reboots the phone to "MI" logo again and no black screens or red led light to show that its in the EDL mode, and I did tried flashing on the MI logo but the same results.
Please help.

Wow wait were u trying edl or fastboot
The method I provided is for fastboot not for edl(though most of it same except u need to remove the back cover and do something)
If u think u can really do edl mode flashing the see this vid

I think edl is the only method to fix this problem
I reccomend you to give ur phone to a shopkeeper to do it
If u think u can DL the thing that guy did in that vid u r free to go ahead

Redmi 4 (Santoni) bricked. Please help.

I unlocked my redmi 4 (Santoni) boot loader and flashed pixel experience ROM (https://mega.nz/#F!INZgnAZI!9fuWhfCuazOO5YPBjxGlmA). It was working fine for a few days (Small heating issue was there). Then one day while i was charging the phone the phone turned off and never turn back on. When i try to switch on the mi logo flashes for a split second and then turns off. I tried to get into recovery but couldn't.
I can get into fastboot mode. I tried flashing the phone using Mi flash tool and fastboot rom. But it shows an error "flash tz error". When i tried an old version of mi flash tool i get the "Unspecified error (0x80004005: FAILED (remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed))

Have you tried installing TWRP via fastboot?

I had the same exact problem, i put my phone on charge & when i came back to check it was switched off. It wouldn't turn on except the mi logo. I tried to flash through fastboot turns out my bootloader was re-locked for some reason. I had to re-unlock it then proceed on to fash fastboot miui rom. Check if your bootloader is locked or not.

This is a good idea! Probably u first try to install trwp in fastboot mode. If this doesn't work try to unlock bootloader again and then install trwp.
When all these Option doesn't work u still can open the phone and use edl fastboot mode to flash miui again.

One time fail in flashing = locked boot loader
Or for unlocking bootloader from official (easy) need live mobile not dead

Tried unlocking boot loader and was not successful because the phone was bricked. My only option was to use edl test point. Now i installed miui 11. (Aprart from some minor bugs which can be eliminated by reflashing some other roms) Thank you guys. Now my phone is successfully unbricked.

For somebody who is having the same issues,
My phone (Redmi 4_Santoni) was completely bricked. The only thing i can access was fastboot by pressing the volume down + Power button combination. But i could not install twrp or any other recovery because my boot loader was locked. I got it fixed completely with the help of you guys (Thanks again) and i want to share the procedure i went through.
Condition: Completely bricked with only fastboot access, Locked bootloader.
I tried this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j27x5iJSS40) but failed because i could not access recovery. So my only solution was to use edl test point flashing. I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74818435&postcount=3. It was very easy to do. But in the device manager (Press Windows key + R and then type devmgmt.msc and press enter) instead of showing "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008", the device is shown as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E". The problem was you have to plug in in USB cable while the test points is being connected with a pair of tweezers or a paperclip as shown in the link above.
Make sure you already downloaded the latest mi flash tool from here https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ and download fast boot rom from the official website. (Go to https://en.miui.com/ Click rom downloads. Click flashing guide. Download the fastboot rom from there for your device.) Now flash your device using mi flash tool and voila. your phone is unbricked.
Thank you guys..

Phone in Hard Brick mode

I was trying to install Arrow OS custom ROM to Motorola one power using TWRP. It got flashed, when I flashed the Gpps Rom with it, it didn't flashed and I rebooted the phone right there. The phone is now in a hard brick mode and is not responding to anything, is there anything I can do to fix it? Could you please guide me with the complete procedure?

You must use a blankflash to boot bootloader.BlankFlash available for
Moto One Power (Chef) https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/chef[/
.1 install Motorola drivers,2 install quallcom drivers for Motorola procesor(gsmusbdrivers.com/download/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-driver-64-bit-windows) .3 use flashbat in blankflash directory,4 press volume down and power on phone.5 connect phone with pc and proces will be starting.if your phone starting in bootloader mode ,you can flash stock room

Thank you for your help and response. I followed the steps as you mentioned. On step 3 when I run the Flashbat file, It gives the below error, and the phone never started
[112.478] ReadFile() failed, GetLastError()=0
[125.434] ReadFile() failed, GetLastError()=0

when blankflash starting you can release the wolume and power.try differrent usb port in pc.I have the same problem with custom roms,You see port com in device manager on pc?

It worked, but how did you know all this? Just spot on :good:

I tried this method but not working on my phone, xt1942-1. This is the Chinese version p30 note I got from AliExpress. I see the device in device manager as port 9008
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @dadm I could not get my SIM card detected in RR rom and tried to flash stock again. Now I am in a bootloop whatever I do. Which stock did you use to revert back? And is your SIM card detected?

I have a few questions if anyone could answer. I am looking to get hands on this phone but making sure everything goes as I expect.
1.Does any member have knowledge which of this Device variants (XT1942-1, XT1942-2, XT-942-3) qualify for "Unlocking Boot-loader" and which variant does not support unlocking. I am lookig for 4/64gb Chef.
2. Is there Any Custom Pie Rom with Solid stability + Efficient & Effective Kernel?
3. Does stock Motorola Camera app works 100% in a custom flashed Rom as it does in Stock Rom or we have to use Google Pixel Camera apps as an alternative?
4. Is there anyway to get back to stock image from Custom rom.
5. How to recover the device from a Hard Brick.
6. Not but least. How well this device performs while playing PUBG.

May be your fastboot process failed...try again or go to recovery and clean all usure data

i tried,but now my phone is a pricey brick.
never again an mtk devices.

I have suffered this situation few days ago, I was using platform-tool to install MIUI 12.01 recovery rom using flash_all.bat but got bootloop everytime. Then I tried to flash the fastboot rom via Miflash tool and finally it booted up, it also re-locked bootloader after flashing, but the phone is live again!
I also tried to Wipe User Data in Recovery ([Volume up] + [Power]) before flashed the ROM with Miflash. Didn't know if it'd fixed the problem.

Have you try spflash tool yet?

fortunately i was able to recover the device using miflashtool then i sold it and i bought a redmi 9s
dont buy mtk devices guys,worst experience ever

You must know what you do on MTK than its ok!!!
