MI 8 - Bricked - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I was running unlocked bootloader and pixelexperience rom. Today I wanted to try to flash latest xiaomi.eu and now my phone is bricked.
Steps:
Twrp -
flashed data (after that i saw that i had an error and data didn't flash)
installed rom (because i didn't see the error) - rom failed to install
flashed data again from twrp advanced option
phone rebooted and now it bootloops on mi logo. i do not have recovery nor fastboot.
what can I do in this situation? i searched the forum but there is nothing similar

You must have fastboot, check how install miui using mi flash. I use this method and working for me

When I try to boot into fastboot, it only shows black screen. The PC does not recognise it.
Also, I do not have EDL mode available..

Exact same issue, no fastboot or EDL mode. Tried updating the latest Miui 11 - Android 10 - Xiaomi EU Rom (Jan 25th) and the phone has been bricked.

Solution Deleted.

got into EDL mode using test points, but now i have edl auth error - "cannot receive hello packet"
Seems like a common problem for bricked devices and need mi account with the right edl auth privileges.
Any help welcome.

There is nothing to do, unless:
A) you find a Xiaomi Authorized account (in which case please alert us)
B) you manage to hack the EDL mode and bypass the Authorization.
Tertium non datur.
EDIT: EDL is the only chance for you anyway @Andrei221
If you had fastboot you could get into EDL by running: "fastboot oem edl", but since you have no fastboot you're only left with the test-points or an EDL-cable.

No. I've tried different things:
- trying to flash with QPST in EDL mode (9008)
- trying to flash fastboot roms with various/ancient versions of MiFlash in EDL mode (9008)
- flashing standalone modem firmwares (old ones, new ones, non-ARB ones, packed with NON-HLOS, etc.) from TWRP
- doing a MITM on the response that MiFlash & MiFlash PRO get from https://update.miui.com/updates/miotaV3.php
- doing a MITM on MiFlash and redirecting requests to old URLs (https://update.miui.com/updates/miotaV2.php, https://update.miui.com/updates/miota.php) and black-box testing them
- using MobileEdit Forensic tool to exploit the EDL firmware
*Note*: I've obviously tried all the different FireHose programmers that are floating around (including those distributed by MobileEdit).
Nothing works.
Especially trying to modify the response (if one understood its format) could very well be useless because it could be that the response from update.miui.com is validated directly by the firmware itself (like a challenge-response authentication) - this has to be verified.
The only possibility I see for now is to flash the original Xiaomi Recovery, let it connect to MiFlash Pro (choosing option n.3 from the menu), and then using IdaPro to trick MiFlash Pro into telling the Recovery to flash the phone. It shouldn't be hard, and I think it *MIGHT* offer the possibility to bypass ARB & Authentication (but I might be wrong: it might be equivalent to flashing from Fastboot). That waits to be tested.
I hope this saves y'all from wasting time.

To flash or unbrick Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, you'll need edl authentication to use the Mi Flash tool to complete this flashing operation. An authorized Service Account is required. This is the worst part of flashing the latest generation of Xiaomi android devices. I have had this problem before with MI 8 Lite. I stuck getting these error messages "Mi Flash Tool Unauthorized for this Operation - Your Account is Unauthorized for this operation - Authorized Service Account required"
This method works only for Mi 8 Lite

Bricked CC9 from anti-rollback. Help with EDL flashing

I accidentally flashed a MiUI 10 ROM with miflash onto my CC9 which has bricked my phone as it was previously on MiUI 11. My bootloader is now locked because I accidentally checked that option in miflash so I can't just fastboot flash another working ROM. I tried putting the phone into EDL mode using the test pin method, however since I did that once, it will no longer go into EDL mode again. Is this normal?
If anyone knows or can point me in the direction of someone who can unbrick my phone it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
This is why you have to be extra careful while flashing something.. hope you find a solution

Can you access fastboot mode? If so, you can try unlocking the bootloader again and installing the rom you want. If you haven't removed the mi account it will unlock and you don't even have to wait the required time again.
Unfortunately since I bought the phone off AliExpress, the seller had already unlocked it so their account is bound to the phone rather than mine. I have managed to get the phone to boot into EDL mode by the test point method but I don't have an edl authorised account to flash a working ROM. If anyone knows someone who could help me out with this I'm more than happy to pay them for their time ?

Download the latest fastboot firmware (MIUI 11) for your mi cc9 (not mi 9 lite). Don't grab the recovery.zip firmware, it's useless and will give you errors.
When you finish your download, unpack your .tar firmware twice and flash it with MiFlashTool while you are on fastboot mode. (Power/Vol-).
Next time, ask before flashing not after !
Hello , how is it going?. I also have problem with my cc9 and tried to flash latest miui 10 v11.3.4.0 and now it's softbricked , I'm having problem with Mi Flash since it's showing lock state error. any fix for it?

Cheers
I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I installed Global ROM in CC9(Chinese edition) device and the device BootLoader is locked.
When I used fastboot and miflashtool, I got a message "Unauthorized for this operation"
I tried to unlock it and I also get a message "please add your account in miui settings > developer options > mi unlock status"
But i can't get out of recovery mode so I can't change the settings.
I tried to unlock but failed and also attempts to flash in EDL mode failed.
Sorry for bad english

Mi 9 lite
I have a xiaomi mi 9 lite and it is in bootloop I try to turn it on and the MI logo appears for a second and it goes off I can't go into fastboot or recovery I already opened it to do test point and flash but it asks me for an authorized account If someone here has an authorized account that can lend me I will pay for the rental of the authorized account please help with that.
This guy helped me. He uses ultraviewer.net for remote connection. 1722 rubles for flashing.
MOD EDIT: Phone Number Removed
Le: how did you bricked it? I restored an older backup of android 9 over Android 10 from twrp. But from what I understand cc9 doesn't have rollback protection.
Le2: you can also try those fishy 710 firehose no Auth loaders you can find from various sources. Didn't worked for me but you can try.
If you flash Revolution OS or flash Android 9 over Android 10 rom you have good chance to hard brick device so you need to flash first fastboot rom if you want to go from 10 to 9
Thanks
friend @editheraven thank you very much for the contact, I spoke and yesterday I could flash my MI 9 lite I really appreciate it, thank you bro.

Download the fastboot firmware version and execute flash all. (not flash and lock).
I assume you have fastboot access.

What did you do to brick your phone?
Is your phone recognized as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader" in Windows settings? Did you try to flash fastboot ROM with mi flash?
Hello sorry for the late reply but I had found the solution.
The phone was blocked mi account cloud it was impossible to flash it without the authorized account or an account certified by xiaomi,
I pay for software with it, I have access through their server to authentication at xiaomi (the only solution) ( edl mode Qualcomm usb ^)the flash was authorized at the start of the procedure, so it was impossible to do it with any other software (free) or the xiaomi official as authorization is required solve the problem in 20 minutes this way!
Thanks

How To Guide Way to unbrick device in EDL

Hi, I probably found the way to flash ROM if device in edl without auth account:
Download latest MiFlash and fastboot rom
Unzip rom and go to /images folder
Choose prog_ufs_firehose_sdm7150.elf
Copy it to MiFlash folder
Go to EDL and type in cmd on PC in Mi Flash directory command attached as picture.
Wait until "OKAY" appears
After this reconnect phone in EDL and start flashing ROM INSTANTLY!!!

Your instructions say to copy "prog_ufs_firehose_sdm7150.elf" but the image refers to "prog_emmc_firehose_sdm7150.elf" (sdm vs. emmc). Is this correct? Or which should it be?
It's the same. It depends from Miui version (I took that file from 12.5)
well if this true this guy needs a major award and this post needs a lot more attention as we would finally have a way to unbrick this device for free. Let also take the opportunity to wish all the people in telegram to go to hell for taking money to use their auth account to do it for other people (yes I DO believe it should be free for all)
Did anyone successfully try this on a bricked device?

It definitely worked in 2019. I don't if it works right now (really hope so)
if it worked in 2019 then it can have chance to still work, with the same software setup / rom. But this device did not exist in 2019....
would you mind posting exact setup details, so that it can be verified by others?
which version of miflash, which rom (did you flash a rom for redmi note 10 pro with it?)
this needs to be verified, but I have no bricked device around, and dont want to try it just for fun with running device.

MiFlash 2018
It worked for lavender (Redmi Note 7) when it was in EDL
I used latest MiFlash to flash Redmi Note 10 Pro fastboot Miui 12.5
so you used mi flash to flash a rn10p device, which was not in bricked state, only?
but you didnt try it in bricked stage?
edit: I mean HARDBRICK, screenoff /EDL loop. not fastboot
Yes
ah well, then you basically just flashed via fastboot, no real unbrick.
Does it work?
That can't work unless he speciefies each single step and which exact file he used. EDL has an authetication scheme and if you don't have an authorized account then it won't work.

Question My Redmi Note 10 pro is stuck in bootloop. Please help

I'm new to this forum and i registered here for the sole purpose of finding help. My phone is bootlooping and I have tried a few stuffs searching for fix via google but none of them worked and gives me error. Listed below are stuffs i tried.
1. Wipe data using Recovery Mode (Volume Up and Power Button)
2. Safe Mode using Recovery Mode (Volume Up and Power Button)
3. MiFlash using (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/sweet/) but got error: FAILED (remote: Erase is not allowed in Lock State)
4. MiFlash_Unlock but cannot proceed as i don't have MI account and i don't remember logging in on the phone.
Any kind of help is appreciated.
you need prog_ufs_firehose_sm7150_ddr.elf for Poco X3 / Mi 11 Lite / Redmi Note 10 Pro

Question Bricked Mi 11 Pro, need help with auth in EDL mode

I tried to install a firmware for my Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro using the Mi Flash tool, but I accidentally left the option to lock the bootloader again selected. But when trying to start the system, the device says that Miui is not compatible with my device.
Then I tried to use Miui Unlock, I even manage to log in with my miui account, but the procedure is interrupted and says that to continue with the bootloader unlock I need to do some steps in the system, but I no longer have access to the device's system.
But I managed to open the device and put it in EDL mode, but it asks for miui account authorization. What I have to do? Or someone would it have the unlocked file, the firehose for the mi 11 pro?
AFAIK there's no patched firehose for Mi 11 series.
You need to find paid EDL flash service.
Search in Telegram .
