these steps should work if you do that properly.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
enter edl mode
Code:
fastboot oem edl
(or by test point method)
BTW it is just a simple SoftBrick which is totally solvable.

If your boot-loader is not get blocked then you can do it with ADB sideload but if BT is blocked then the only way remains is the EDL flash mode.

Hey , thank you so mush, I tried since yesterday and your method is the only one that save my phone !

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.

It's bricked. Try forcing edl mode by shorting pins. Method given here in the thread.

Bricked A2 only fastboot

Hi guys, i need some help, i wanted to convert my A2 in 6X, and i need to enter edl mode to do this. Because i couldn't enter edl via fastboot or adb (i had unlocked bootloader ad twrp recovery installed) i tried to relock bootloader (maybe this was the error), now i'm stuck at message that says that system is corrupt and devices wouldn't boot, i can only access fastboot, tried to boot twrp via fastboot but didn't work, fastboot getvar unlocked return no, now i'm trying to follow the guide to unbrick from ARB but phone should be in edl mine is in fastboot, please help me, any suggestion is accepted! Thanks

use option 5 then select the second option
it will boot the device into edl mode.
if you have issues with it not letting you enter it with this then try to unlock the bootloader again.

EDL Mode not working? Need urgent help!

Hi guys,
Recently did a big ****up with my device. Tried to unlock_critical which said already unlocked but wasnt in order to convert to 6x. Tried to oem lock again and im now locked out. Device doesnt boot and cant flash anything via fastboot.
I already figured i have to go to edl mode for flashing stock software, have opened my device now and tried to short the edl pins as explained in youtube videos.
However, no sign of this working! no light, nothing!
Im using manjaro linux which doesnt recognize the device only via adb or fastboot.
Already tried using virtualbox for miflash but i cant get the usb port to work with it.
Can you help me please?
In my case for EDL, i only need to unlock critical, then power + volume up

you can to find a windows laptop or pc from your friends for a while ?? I do not think you can run correctly edl mode + all the necessary tools & files from Linux,after test points...
the device must be have all the necessary drivers (first disable driver signature) fastboot etc as you know...

I have the same issue, fastboot mode is useless to flash anything. Booting with adb into edl mode reboots phone normally.
Getting disconnected after a half minute in EDL mode.
Hello guys, I'm having a big problem, some day earlier the A2 started to bootloop and fastboot, adb wasn't working.
So I opened the mi A2, disconnected the battery cable and booted in edl mode but after 20 sec it got disconnected and again I short it and boot in edl and it disconnecting.
A help would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

Sorry my bad english
I had this problem too. I was trying to flash stock jasmine rom from my amd ryzen pc and this happened. It was the first time I was using ryzen pc for flashing. In a reddit post, I saw this: "fastboot is broken on ryzen pcs". Then I tried to flash from my intel laptop and problem solved.

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..
