Bricked Mi 8... HELP - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

bricked my month old mi 8. what i did was
Unlocked my bootloader
flashed TWRP
flashed EU ROM.
-been using it for awhile
then global rom came out, downloaded it then i tried flashing by TWRP.
the PHONE BRICKING is done.
so i tried again by plugging it to my PC.
PC is detecting the phone as HS USB QDLoader 9008
Download Mi Flash 2017.4.25.0
i tried flashing. at least the the software is detecting it.
i tried EDL or a dipper firmware.
but once i click flash. NO LUCK.
it says "Cannot receive hello packet." error
Pls help... Thank you very much in advance.

You bought your phone with chinese firmware i guess? You should try a chinese fastboot rom 9.5 stable or 10 beta. Don't forget the usb drivers. Don't Flash the global rom because it isn't released. This version what you flashed is recovery rom, that means this global version is only for global firmware devices from the shop. Hope i could help you.

Hello! Xiaomi is really against people flashing global on chinese phones - that's why this happened.
Flash twrp to recovery via adb (search up on youtube its easy)
and flash a custom rom - they're better than miui anyway
Also if you use miflash tool in the future DO NOT click lock bootloader because it might brick your device which is a headache.

No you can't if your bootloader is locked.
I think you should talk to xiaomi about this issue directly and ask them whats the best thing to do.
The thing I can think of is to try and flash a chinese rom and get it to work - after that you can apply for unlocking your bootloader again
with the mi unlock tool (you'd have to wait 15 days though - xiaomi has ****ty policy on unlocking BL.
I install china rom, but its not work - miflash: erase boot error. On MI PCSuite China version app downloads global rom files, china files its not works, bad veryfication.
there are already some threads with some possible solutions, but if on the first run when you used the miflash tool and DID NOT UNCLICK lock bootloader than it looks like you fkkd up.
What is fkkd? In mi flash i checked clear and loock and did not work. Erase boot error.

You could try since the bootloader is locked.

how to flash to factory rom?

hello: this maybe a newbie question, but how do you flash back to the factory rom in case I bork the custom rom install? With factory recovery of course.
I imagine there must be an official way to flash back the rom, but I downloaded a PC suite tool from miui.com, and it wouldn't read my CC9 when connected. Weird.
I also found online that there's a chinese version and a global version of the CC9 official MIUI rom. What's the global version? Was it meant for Mi9 Lite?
Thanks for any input.
If you unlocked bootloader ,then you can flash old ROMs. Otherwise you can't.
I unlocked it. But i dont know what the official method/software is for flashing back to factory spec. I now have twrp and xiaomi.eu and just want to know how to get back to factory rom and recovery. Tks
Download mi flash tool or flash tool pro.
Now install them and driver also.
Download mi cc 9 latest fastoot rom
Unzipped the rom.
Now open mi flash tool and load the unzipped folder
Turn off your device and press power + volume down for bootloader.
Now connect via usb cable.
Click on flah botton and wait until 100% complete.
Your device will be on after successfully flashed

miflash success very fast but doesn't actually flash

Hi All, it's time i clean up my K20 Pro as i have upgraded to a F2 Pro.
The K20 Pro has MIUI 10.3.17 CN ROM from about 10 months ago, bootloader unlocked, magisk etc.
When trying to miflash it with a MIUI 12.0.5 CN latest fastboot rom in order to get back to factory, the progress bar completes in 1 second, and status is green and success, BUT the phone does not reboot itself. Using miflash 20181115 with clean all option.
After i unplug phone and reboot it manually nothing was flashed - everything is still on there.
Any ideas?
Thought i would try doing factory reset from within the system and at first it appeared to be going thru the reset - however upon reboot, everything remains.
The other things is i have TWRP on it, wondering if i should do anything there?
Looking for assistance on what the correct procedure is...

Hi, how can one flash without miflash? and the miflash no believe is the last version I think.
Would prefer a miflash completely to get rid of TWRP too.
any other ideas why this is happening?

Xiaomi Flash Tool - Official Mi Flash Tool
Download the latest and Official Xiaomi Flash Tool from the Official Xiaomi Flash Tool Website.
xiaomiflashtool.com
try downloading latest flash tool from this website
if not then try flashing without flash tool and u will not be able to retain twrp if u flash fastboot rom by any means.
if flash tool doesn't work then just extract the zip i have attached here and paste all files of fastboot rom folder in this folder and run the flash_all.bat file and it should work if u have all drivers installed.
The newer miflash worked! thank you so much Ezio!
Would you happen to know if there is any way to get Google PlayStore onto a K20 Pro?
I saw some threads on 'just flash it with a global ROM' - which wasn't the case back a year ago when i had last tinkered.

yes i have an Indian k20 pro and i tried miui global rom it works fine except nfc didn't as Indian k20 pro doesn't have nfc hardware.
So yes u can do that if u want but do note that global rom has dialer and contact as well from google and not mi one.
I remember when I treid it a year ago it didn't work. The phone recognise the rom as for non-chinese and said the version was wrong. Are you sure?
Is the process same as fastboot flashing?
Guess of it doesn't work I should be able to fastboot flash it back again?
Thanks, I just found https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw1k6QstZklCOzbLJO2p_18T&cshid=1607339448068
I just have to remember not to lock the bootloader.

Question Bricked Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro

Ive been trying to flash a global rom to my xiaomi Mi 11 pro for some time.I have flashed twrp but obviously it doesnt stick around if the rom flash does not work. I cant seem to find one on the latest Venus firmware, every time i attempt to flash the latest available on xiaomi dot EU it comes up with the firmware is star/mars and your device is venus. i attempted to flash back to china recovery https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/mi-11-venus-weekly-21.9.29/ and this bricked my device.Unsure if its trying to boot the wrong partition a/b but then i dont know what im talking about really. Can anyone offer some advice on this?
As a side ote, the phone does not turn on, connect to pc, boot to recovery or reset mode.
Seems to me you flashed firmware for Mi 11 Pro, and you have Venus which is Mi 11, and this is Mi 11 forum. ? Also you don't need twrp to flash official firmware, global or EEA version.
You can find firmwares here.. mifirm.net or here c.mi.com

Mi 11 Pro is Mars and share the same ROM than Star (Mi 11 Ultra) but it's NOT Venus (Mi 11).
TWRP is the same for Mars/Star. Anyway your Mi 11 Pro has nothing to do with a Mi 11 Venus.
The only way is to flash the fastboot CN Official here
But apparently you can't access fastboot mode ?

My Mi 9 doesn't update from V12.0.5.0.QFAMIXM

Hello dear all, my Xiaomi Mi 9 Global was stopped to the last OTA V12.04.xxx, no new download!
I decide to download the last glolbal recovery version from here(V12.5.xxx) but it doesn't work, so tried the version in the middle V12.0.5.xxx and the update from the recovery tool embedded on the Mi 9 it worked fine.
This is the last versione I sucessufully installed on my smartphone, it doens't receive anything from OTA enad it still doesn't accept the last Global Recovery ver. V12.0.5.0.QFAMIXM....evrytime I receive "Impossible to verify the update....." and "Impossible to install this stable ROM"
Do you know why?!?!
I was stuck with the same weird issue. I finally unlocked the bootloader, and flashed the last official ROM 12.5 with mi flash tool. Now I also installed a custom ROM finally!
I had the same Problem ...
I have solved my Problem with a Fastboot Rom Installation too
There is no "BEST" alternative of Stock ROM. I have tried many custom ROMs but at last I stopped on Stock ROM and its working like Sun and Moon...!!
Can anyone help?
I have the same problem, but a little worse. I can't unlock the bootloader.
In fastboot mode, the phone isn't recognized. I tried with another phones and everything is ok, on a another pc and nothing.
When I try to flash any rom, all official, says it's no possible to flash.
