Bricked my Phone - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

I was flashing stock rom on my MI A2 but when it was 50% done my pc was turned off for loadshedding. Now my Phone stuck at Logo. and fastboot not detected on pc! i tried "Fastboot Devices" "FAstboot OEM EDL" not working. is it will Recoverable from EDL test point? or PHONE DEAD?

Dude, no need to post another article when you have the same one opened. i told you ask on the telegram group and you did not say that it was flashing till 50% and how can you even flash without having USB debugging on?

I don't think you bricked your phone because fastboot installing itself when you have finished flash (last) and not at 50% and also when is necessary so your fastboot (bootloader) partition must be ok. Try to enter fastboot with power button and volume -
Hold the Volume Down button on your Xiaomi Mi A2.
While holding the button, press the Power button.
Release the buttons when you see the fastboot screen.
Flash your firmware with mi tool which is not necessary usb debugging.
Don't forget to tick clean all at mi tool.

mi5 brick after edl flash. start only fastboot. locked bootloader

hi,
i flashed 6.5.12 by miflash in edl mode.
Flash done in miflash, but on reboot mi5 is bricked. Logo Mi and shut down.
bootloader is locked.
my devices start only fastboot mode. it don't go in edl mode. if i press powe and vol + it's don't start and shut down.
By fastboot it's don't go in edl
help me pleas
If your are logged into your Mi Account on the phone you can do this: apply for the bootloader unlock code with that MI account (use other phone while you fix the xiaomi), wait for the unlock approval sms code, its tooks like 7 to 15 days, then download the software for the unlock bootloader process, loggin with your approved mi account, put your phone in fastboot mode, connect it to the pc press start and thats all (no need to boot in normal mode for unlock), you should have your bootloader unlocked and you will be able to enter in EDL mode and flash again the rom.
P.D. Sorry for my bad english
Ehi, I know how to fix your phone.
I can link you an italian forum's thread, a guy had your same problem. You have to plug your phone to pc and press power button and vol+ button, your pc will recognize it correctly if you had installed drivers, even if your phone shuts down. Now you can enter in edl mode (maybe mi5 is already in it) and flash a rom with miflash.
Sorry for my English.
Have you try to flash using MiFlash?
You can download it from here
My friend also encounter this problem and what he did is:
1. Use a fresh installed notebook with Win 7
2. Use MiFlash to flash the image file.
Image file can be downloaded from here.
It should works with locked bootloader as you are flashing the stock image.
Please give it a try.

I had the same issue after I had relocked bootloader using command
fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...

When I noticed this strange behaviour, I switched to fastboot mode again (VolDown + Power) and unlocked bootloader again using MiUnlock tool for Windows and USB data cable. After that it my phone works again. No data was lost - everything remained as before.

Need help (stuck on fastboot)

Hello,
I tried to install MIUI10 so I followed the tutorial. When I flashed I realized that I had checked the wrong case (clean all and lock instead of clean all) I panicked and unplugged my phone.
I only have access to the fastboot but pc no longer detects the phone I have a waiting device error
Your help will be appreciated.
Enter edl mode and try to flash stock rom with miflash.
Do not lock bootloader on custom rom, ever.

Bootloop - Help - Xiaomi Mi A2

Here we go:
1- Today i got a new phone
2- Wanted to remove the Google search bar and disable google app
3- Restart and the phone screen is very different like another version, so i decide to do a soft reboot
4- Phone stuck on auto loop
5- Try recovery mode, dont work
6- Fastboot works
7- I download new room jasmine_global_images_V10.0.12.0.PDIMIXM_20190712.0000.00_9.0_1e580ee45b
8- Download Miflash and Minimal ADB and fastboot.
9- Plug the phone in pc
10- Unlocks OEM with app
11- Opened Mi flash
12- Miflash have installed all the drivers
13- When i click on refresh the Fastboot icon(the android and the soviet cat) dissapears and the only thing i have is in one corner "press any key to shutdown"
Important data:
-i have windows 10 with usb 3.1 and 2.0
-USB debugg is locked
-By pure luck once i managed to do a full boot sequence but when it finished the layout of the screen was different, like another version and i started updating it, after a couple of updates it stuck again on bootloop.
- i have no idea what was the original version on the room but in the last point and in nΒΊ 3 it was 10.0.7.
- i have nothing that i cannot recover so i dont mind wiping out my userdata
-i have considered a test point but i dont know if it going to work
-return it to amazon its my last ressort
- i read about the issues in december and january with the bootloop but i tried everything
-i have acces to a computer with linux
-its very difficult to start the fastboot logo/menu and almost impossible the recovery mode, it almost always ends with phone booting, when i plug it onto my pc it start with the bootloop.
-sometimes when i click on refresh while the phone with the screen in black or starting up with the android one logo it changes to fastloop automatically
- also tried a hard resset and nothing changed
I have no clue what to do, should i do the test point, ask for another in amazon, spray it with holy water??
Sorry for the possible typos and all the numbers i wanted to explain myself and to put some order in my head.
Please help and Thanks in advance

I think you should connect your phone via USB 2.0, from my previous experience, the USB 3.0 port will give press any key to shutdown message on your phone

Using the fastboot mode and the adb voids the warranty?

In this case I think you haven't unlock your bootloader, or haven't unlock both OEM and critical. Following up your steps, you didn't mentioned this part.
Have you done these codes?
fastboot flashing unlock
And
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
?
Select OEM unlock in settings doesn't unlock your bootloader automatically

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.

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..

Question Redmi Note 11S bricked with no way out?

Hi i just oficialy unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp recovery boot and restarted phone. After that restart, phone got stuck in loop rebooting to MI logo. Recovery and Fastboot not loading when i press right buttons. Phone just vibrate and keep restarting. I had to dry off battery to turn it off becouse when i connect phone to cable it auto turn on and start restarting. I tryed also unplug battery and flash it by other rom but connection with pc is broken when phone still restarting every 5s. Is there any chance to save this phone from scrap? Thank you

first let's go, download the fastboot stock version of the ROM then download Miflash, unzip the rom on your main disk twice, now on your cell phone you will press the power off button and at the same time the fastboot button (you must have messed up the file boot so it doesn't turn on) and play Miflash also on C disk, open Miflash on mobile in fastboot mode and select ROM folder don't forget to put the option to just clean and not lock, when the process is finished you wait for the phone to turn on

Thx but phone dont booting to fastboot mode so i cant flash boot.img i tryed now SP Flash too in linux and still same errors becouse phone disconecting too fast. I think technician service will be solution..
Dont use The daanm Sp flash Tool , Its for mediatek devices, USE Miflash, and Its impossible a phone dont boot in fastboot mode, try again, pls hold The button
I have both Mi flash and SP flash tool
Without fastboot you cant do much...
in Miflash it dont do anything even device it dont see on COM3
in SP flash too it react but with errors becouse of disconecting
phone dont boot right becouse both A and B boot images are corrupted.
Does your screen at boot turn red? I've done everything on my cell phone, several things have happened to me and not once did fastboot have a problem, because fastboot is a totally different place to boot, there is only this possibility if you used commands in adb to remove or do something in fastboot that made it useless, it's impossible to happen this in the way you said
yes i did adb commands in fastboot becouse i instaled recovery and this all happend after reboot
no problem doing things in adb, I said in the sense that you deleted fastboot in adb but that didn't happen by the way you said
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold the Power + Volume Down buttons together and immediately connect the device to the PC. You need to time it perfectly.
It will automatically boot into EDL mode, and LED lights may blink.
Download QPST Flash Tool and install your device's firmware using QFIL(comes included in QPST).
I suggest you to read everything about it online.

I tryed but not succes. It just booting every 5s nowhere. Cant get to EDL mode sorry. And correct turn off phone isnt possible i have to unplug battery flex cable but i also tryed. Only possible state where it dont restarting is when battery is unpluged and i connect phone on cable with pc and pressing volume down+power. But connection to COM3 is only 2s.
Well, in that case you need to short the test points on your motherboard and plug the phone into your PC at the same time.
Watch several videos related to it on YouTube first.
Wait, is your phone Redmi Note 11 or 11s?
I will try the point test. I have Redmin Note 11s.
Ahhhh...you posted it on Note 11 forum.
Can't help you mate. Things are more complicated in mediatek devices.
Still, this thread might help a little. Good luck.
