Bricked my phone today... - Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers

So I had flashed TWRP earlier and didn't realise that I had to reflash the stock recovery before re locking the bootloader. I re locked the bootloader because I wanted the finger print scanner to work again, but now I am left with a bootlooping phone. I was going to try to flash the stock recovery, but I cannot install the Realme X2 Pro drivers for some reason on Windows. I am going to try using FWUL to flash the stock recovery, but I don't know if it is going to work. Any advice for a poor noob soul like me?
Edit: FWUL was no dice. Couldn't even get the phone to be detected while holding down the volume button to possibly put it into EDL mode. I'm gonna have to buy an EDL cable so I can short it and boot to EDL and reflash the stock recovery. Tune in on Sunday to find out what happens next!

Don't buy any cable, you can't boot to EDL without twrp.

I actually managed to get it in EDL mode and it shows up in device manager in Windows. I don't know what to do from here though... I tried using the msm download tool but i cant get the tool to even open on my PC.

Really ? How, with cable ?
With locked bootlader I am sorry to say this but you need unbrick (EDL) rom of X2 Pro.
Maybe try OnePlus 7T's unbrick rom ? Who knows it might work if they both share the same loader, or you may end up with hard brick.

No not with a cable. I just held down the volume up button while plugging it in and it went to EDL mode. I dont think I will be able to use the OnePlus rom, but I know they do use the same bootloader so maybe it's possible? I am gonna wait and see if i can get the msm download tool for this phone from support and use that before going to the last resort of the OnePlus rom.

Funny thing, I have CN version, first thing I tried Volume Up and plugging ubn cable, like any other OnePlus till today, but no luck. My phone goes into EDL only from twrp.
Anyway, I am searching Chinese forums for unbrick rom too, will let you know if I can find.

did you find anything ?

Found the rom but MSMSdonwloader wats password.

No one yet knows and until a working Tool is found then it’s game over. I have tried twice contacting RealmeEU but they never respond. Absolutely terrible customer service, where they can’t reply to an email.
Despite the X2 being a great value device, what they really need to also vastly improve on is responding to their customers.

I brick my CN version Realme x2 pro too. but I flashed official ROM with OTG and resolved.

I tried, edl not work, there is no worked msmdownloadtool.

Anyone find a unbrick method yet?

any update yet??
i have the exact problem

Hello , I was successful to extract the ofp firmware for the CN and GLOBAL version. The firmware is kind of QFIL based firmware and include patch0.xml , rawprogram0.xml , prog_firehose_ddr.elf that can be loaded on the Qualcomm QFIL tool for flashing a stock rom on EDL mode without having a unlock bootloder. I have posted a guide, go try it and post a comment if it works - https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/to-unbrick-hard-brick-device-lock-t4091925 .Please read full details in the guide .

so, did someone managed to find a way around that?
i got the same issue bootloader Locked with unable to boot device due to damaged (boot/recovery)
but I can get to the EDL Mode
is there something I can do to fix this with del mode?

Also i get mine brick is there any way to solve it ?

Any updates yet? My phone isn't bricked but I'm trying to be sure whether i can flash stock rom if anything goes wrong..

It's a known issue with some device models. The device reports it's unlocked but in reality it isn't. Perform the normal unlock steps to unlock your boot loader despite it reports it unlocked.

So you can't even start your device i.e. it doesn't even reaches the pre-boot screen (the Honor logo). You should have never ever flashed fastboot image. If your device reaches Honor logo, then bootloader is fine and fastboot should work but if that isn't the case, you have screwed it up big time. Still do reply back, we'll see what we can do

jtag Box needs to be coupled with Bootloader flashing tool and the necessary bootloader files. Since none of them are available, you are in a pretty hard spot.

No my bro.it's Dead.you should change your mobile mother board with another honor 4x(it's expensive) or you should find a programed EMMC that exactly is for che-tl00h(almost hard to find for this model) or sell your hard bricked phone(best way like my way). Of course you can find your dump files and give them to a technician for flashing on a unprogramed EMMC,but I know you can not find dump files for this model easily.
This is a real experience for focusing on model of the phone that we purchase for next shopping.
We should just buy a Global released model,not a china model.

[SOLVED] Mi 9 bricked after latest MIUI 11. Help me please.

EDIT: Solved, check latest post. (#28)
My Mi 9 bricked after i flashed the MIUI 11 beta (9.9.24), then with MiFlash, flashed back to Global (i have unlocked the bootloader)
Now the phone is in this state:
- Screen black, no signal to anything, no LED turns on
- Cannot boot to System, Fastboot, Recovery, or EDL
- Does not react to any button combination (Tried with/without charger, power button holding for 1 min, etc.) Guess i'm f-ed
Can someone help me please? :/
I'm not an expert but if you phone don't event turn on, how you expect someone to help you? The only one who can help you it's a service or a repair lab. I don't think that the problem is in software.

As far as i know Mi 9 cepheus doesn't have rollback protection.... Maybe this miui 11 beta has, and i didn't know.
EDIT: It does not have any ARB... I did something wrong but dunno what
You can try to unlock again with Mi Unlock tool. Helped in my case which was different from yours though. But you've got nothing to lose anyhow.
Cheers

Damnn it !
What is this sh** of anti rollback ?
Didn't know it even exists.
I will patientlky wait Q Aosp based roms, even if it takes a year ^^
Feel sorry for your hard brick, I hope you'll find a trick

You need to open back cover, find EDL testpoint pins and flash full ROM through MiFlash.
If you dont have authorized Mi account for EDL flash, find someone who have it.

If you can go under the device manager and see if there is a usb device connecting? It may be in Snapdragon's flash mode. If it is, you need to find someone with a privledged account or goto the mi store.

Can you dubbelcheck the rom you tried to flash? Make sure its really for MI9? This kind of trouble most of the time happens when flashing a rom for another phone. Like MI9T or something.

Yes it was cepheus_global_images_V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM_20190709.0000.00_9.0_global. I followed every instruction for flashing with MiFlash tool....
I had a similar problem when I received the phone, I couldn't start it right out of the box, it's certainly not the same problem but I waited a few hours and then I had the idea to boot it in fastboot and when I restarted it, it worked

Bricked the phone and locked the bootloader! Seriously need help from you.

Hi friends,
I am telling you the whole story in a short way,
I have needed to root my devices, so I unlocked bootloader as it said on some web sites and install a new rom. Mine was Android 8.1 Nokia 7 plus TA-1046 600CN I think now its Pie 600WW.
After that that Pie did not work well on my devices, especially sensors and notifications was awful. So tried to downgrade to stock rom, but could not.
Right now, there is no rom on my device and bootloader and also locked the critical partitions.
I have TWRP recovery installed but i cant enter the recovery mode, the device is always in download mode even try to enter with volume UP + Power button phone goes directly download mode.
I have done something stupid with locking bootloader I agree but please help me to get out of this situation.
Its too bad without a phone
Thank you very much.
I dont know if it will work. Did you try to switch the partitions from A to B or B to A?
There are tutorials on how to do that via adb. I cant tell you exactly how to do it, i did it also from tutorials.

in both partitions it is saying Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot.
and
I cant go into recovery
That sounds bad. Sorry, im not that advanced.
Isn't it possible to force it into recovery via adb? I got no idea, just asking.

Unfortunately I can`t because the bootloader is locked I have to unlock it but I can not because I have to downgrade the bootloader from Pie to Oreo
It sounds like a bad situation indeed. I think you may be SOOL, but hopefully a way forward will become apparent. Otherwise a new device might be indicated ?
1.unlock bootloader
2.reflash firmware with tools.
for piehttps://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-workaround-flashing-sparse-t3906070
for oreohttps://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/workaround-flashing-oreo-firmware-t3793791
I ran into a similar situation and I installed the stock rom using NOST (Nokia Online Service Tool) and the stock rom in .NB0 file type.
If you need those files PM me and I can provide them for you, most likely you have them already if you unlocked your bootloader using TechMesto's service.

Hard Bricked Mi9 Global

So have I done something that apparently no one else has on XDA.
Hard bricked my Mi9?
I have heard that you cannot go back from Miui 11 to Miui 10 on China based models or try an install a rom with a locked bootloader.
None of those things are the case here as this is a global Mi9 purchased within New Zealand.
None of the usual tricks work. No battery light black screen no input response from buttons.
Appears like a total hard brick an I have no idea why. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with hard bricked Mi9s that have bricked for no reason after I did standard things an the bootloader was unlocked?
what about edl ? do you already try it?

Connect the charger, hold all the buttons (except the AI one), until you feel the phone vibrate or at least see the battery charging LED blink.
Don't let go after 5-10 seconds, but keep holding for 30+ seconds. See if anything happens.
a while ago i bricked my mi9se (because of lazyiness while flashing wrong android rom version with a wrong twrp without changing twrp version before).
so fastboot or recovery not worked. EDL mode was only enterable with contact/test point method -> opening back, connect the two points, connect usb cable. (you have to look on youtube for the right contact points for mi9).
so i entered EDL mode, but:
you have to have a authorized xiaomi account to flash something, and a special xiaomi tool to do that. no chance to skip that. believe me.
on older xiaomi devices you maybe can flash something on your own in edl mode. not so on newer devices like the mi9se, and presumably also on mi9.
you have to have your phones back removed, and look for somebody on the internet with a authorized xiaomi account. there are some ppl out there, which maybe can unbrick your phone in EDL mode via teamviewer for a charge around 15 to 25 bucks.

When you connect the phone to the PC , go to control panel and then under device manager, Com ports you should see Port 9008. if so you are in EDL mode. As long as your phone is bound to you ( you have the needed credentials to sign into MiCloud, you should be able to restore your phone.)
I do not have the mi9 Yet. I have a Mi8 and I am considering a Mi9
Try flashing the global fastboot rom for your device.
IMPORTANT >>>>>>> It must be a fastboot images rom and not a regular recovery rom<<<<<<
Use google for the absolute latest build, I spent 30 seconds just now and found this page which as it linked : https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/download-official-miui-roms-for-xiaomi-mi-9/ You want/NEED the one called " 11.0.3.0 QFAMIXM | Fastboot | Download"
Unpack Rom twice on your desktop, ( Its double compressed, must be unpacked twice.)
Open folder and you will see a folder that is called Images and a series of batch files.
With phone connected and in EDL or fastboot , double click "flashall.bat" Do not choose the file that asks to lock the bootloader , if it exists) This batch file will restore every single partition from the folder called images.
When it is finished the phone will reboot, sign into your wifi, and then Mi Cloud account and begin setup.
Be sure to make a Twrp backup and save it to your desktop.
You are welcome, enjoy your phone.
PS: if this fails you may need to buy a deep flash cable from Amazon, they cost $6 to $20
https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Cable-xiaomi-Models-Engineering/dp/B06ZYG46VZ Another option is using a program called QPST
If this helped you, you are welcome to buy me a beer,via my paypal. If you can afford to do so.
Tried button pushing advice an no luck. Will try this but am pretty sure surgery is probably my best option.
Thanks for trying to help. 11.0.3.0 is an excellent rom an I've had success several times with soft bricks as it bricked in a bootloader loop with the little Xiaomi cartoon thingy.
I might try your suggestion with both my miflash set up an my miflashpro set up ?

Unbrick Redmi 8

My phone suddenly get stucked into Redmi boot logo, cannot access system recovery but can access fastboot menu.
The problem is I hadn't enabled OEM unlock and developer options before. All the methods that I found so far requires bootloader unlock for that I also don't have MI account . What might be my next move? Thank you.
its hard to say what we can|t do with a still locked bootloader. if going to an authorized service center is out of reach, all we can do is try i guess. id still suggest going there if you can easily access your google account.
there are a few threads that say we can flash a still locked bl, but im not so sure.

With EDL mode? I'm in a similar situation, a friend's mother forced a shutdown during a firmware update and destroyed the system that way. Of course the bootloader is blocked. I find it extremely stupid of Xiaomi to rely on a working system to give you the chance to unlock the bootoader but I guess that's how you sell some extra phones.
So far I've taken out the rear cover and the plastic that goes on top of the motherboard, unplugged the battery and with an arduino cable and some fiddeling shorted the "boot" pins while connecting the USB cable. Seems to be working given that MiFlash has changed the locked bootloader error for "indice fuera de limites" or in English "index out of limits error". I guess I don't have the right ROM so I'm downloading another one, but I'm struggilng to find the correct original fastboot ROM. The first one I've downloaded from Mi Community, the second one is from xiaomifirmwareupdater, but is gonna take forever to download. And I mean... F-O-R-E-V-E-R

gl with that, as only authorized people can properly flash from there. while i havent used EDL, there are some trusty people who can help us out (ive seen it in tg groups)
a site did say maybe using another version can help, who knows it might do the trick
