Good day everybody
Straight to the point. I tried to flash a different rom, EU version of MI6X MIUI on my device and suddenly, at the reboot after the flash, the screen remained black.
Strange thing is that the device is still detected through usb on my pc, even on MiFlash its detected. But i cannot do anything, tried flashing a rom with Miflash but i get Catastrophic Error!
Please someone help me i dont want to change this phone!
Thank you so much!
Edit: after researching, i seem to be stuck in a useless EDL mode. My pc can detect the phone (Qualcomm 9008), but MiFlash cannot flash anything. The flash starts and based on the version of MiFlash im using gets stuck after a couple of seconds. for a different reason (Authentication on 2018 version, Send configure command on 2015 version) I dont understand. Please help

Hey thanks!
But i already tried this, with no luck. Miflash doesnt allow me to flash anything. Can you maybe suggest why?

On MiFlash 2018 for example, i get the Not Authorized to Download error.
Maybe the fact that i tried to flash a global rom is the problem?
Try to install twrp , and flash hex kernel , and them flash EU rom, if is not possible , try to flash vía TEST POINT

That is the point. Its already in EDL mode, and my pc sees the phone. But Miflash doesnt allow me to flash because of authorization.

that error is because of your ARB .. DOwnload the latest rom with highest ARB level ...like explained in the guide
if you have latest rom with highest ARB level but still get errors start trying all different versions of Miflash ..I tried three or four before I found one which worked ..

So i tried again with this release V10.3.6.0.PDCCNXM_20190816.0000.00_9.0_cn, with multiple different miflash builds, same error. Tried patching the rom and not. Nothing worked, same edl authentication problem.
I believe, pretty sure, this is the build that bricked the phone: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI6X_8.6.28_v10-8.1
Maybe it can help you understand better? Also, how do i determine which is the highest ARB build available?
Thank you so much for the help!

did this brick happen when you wanted to change from jasmine to wayne ?
the error you are getting is your phone was stuck in EDL too long ...if you wait for more than 10 seconds you get error ..
open your phone manually amd enter edl again with test point
change to Miflash amd flash but dont wait longer than few seconds
also try with QFIL ...sometimes it will work when Miflash has timeout error
and every error is different ..if you dont tell me the error i can not say ..if you bricked with the 8.1 rom you dont have bad situation .. low ARB ..or if you used conversion zip you wont have ARB and your problem is you are too long in Edl mode
try to enter fastboot by holding power and volume down for very long time ..
if it doesnt work your only way is test point ..im sure you dont want that problem but it is all
explain your errors better if you want success ...if you go to fastboot see if computer will listen to command
fastboot oem edl
try the flashing again .....

Ok so, ill retry explaining
I was on a CHINA Wayne MI6X originally, unlocked bootloader and TWRP. It was only updated through OTA and never flashed any custom rom before.
Then, i tried through TWRP to flash this build xiaomi.eu_multi_MI6X_8.6.28_v10-8.1, which is a EU rom, think it is A2 rom and the devices reboot to a black screen, EDL mode.
After, i tried flashing many different versions of WAYNE CHINA roms through different builds on MiFlash but none worked. MIUI 10, 11, even 9 but always get EDL AUTHENTICATION error.
So, CHINA to EU to EDL bricked phone.
Now, i tried rebooting to fastboot holding for a long time VOL- POWER button but adb doesnt see the phone, i think im still in EDL mode, because device managaer sees it as QUALCOMM 9008.
Also, now on MiFlash 2014 i get Error loading type library/DDL. (0x80029c4a: wait port ready to use 9)
Same on MiFlash 2015 and 2016.
On MiFlash 2018 i get EDL AUTHETICATION error.
Same o Miflash 2017.
Let me know if you understanded better, still, thank you again!

ok man i think you made a big mistake flashing that package because it locked your bootloader ( i think ) ....
if the computer can see your phone as qualcomm9008 it is in EDL mode
you can save your phone but the authentication error ..could be ARB or locked bootloader ..
but anyway your best and ONLY option now is to get android 10 .zip for Wayne ...latest update for MIUI .. then
follow the instructions in the unbricking thread i sent you ..unzip ..search for folder in MIFLASH ..
-download QFIL flasher ..install and run AT SAME TIME
- select the choose port manually option and leave window open
( so three windows open .. miflash ( ready ) ... QFIL with sekect port open )
- then connect your usb cable to computer ( not phlone )
- get a paperclip and open it and fold it in half to look lkke tweezers
- then on another phone or computer follow video on how to open phone and do test point ( you will hold the twi points of the paperclip on two points in the phone )
- while holding the pin on the points insert usb to phone with free hand
- look at the select port manually window of QFIL ...when you see a device appears here let go of pin ..
now say okay to close sekect port window so it closes ..
- on Miflash press " refresh " then "flash" QUICKLY ..dont wait longer than 10 sec
- it will start to flash
*to opem your phone you need a guitar pick to push between the screen and body ...also special screw driver ( buy on Amazon ) to remove screws you see in video ..
# the reason is your phone has been too long in EDL to flash anymore ..so if you cant exit and enter EDL withbuttons or fastboot you ONLY have one option and that is testpoint
#that is why i said it must in 10 sec after you enter EDL that you flash or you will just have more errors everytime
***then you must just continue to enter and exit tesrpoint using my technique until one copy of Miflash will finish without error .BUT KEEP IN MIND ..everytime you fail you need to start over bevause too much time passed since you were in EDL
******dont lose hope beause miflash will accept and flash the officiak rom ARB4 ... if you find the right miflash version amd start flashing before EDL timeout
good luck bro go watch testpoint video and search for a guitar pick and screwdriver

Hello Xda community,
I need help badly , I bricked my phone one week after receiving it !! My goal was to install Clarity kernel for better battery performance.
I try to tell you all the steps and informations you will need to help me :
1 - I unloacked bootloader using Mi unlock.
2 - I installed TWRP 3.1.1-0 and root my device this way : LINK (method 2)
3 - I flash in recovery mode last MIUI rom 9.5.5.0, phone still running well after that
4 - I boot in recovery and flash this firmware in order to flash Clarity Kernel after
5 - After flashing the firmware I reboot and Im stuck at MIUI logo. I can go to fastboot mode though. But unable to reach recovery mode neither switch off the phone.
6 - I install MiFlash and tried to flash different version of rom MIUI santoni from official website (9.5.5.0 / 8.2.10.0) neither work SEE IMAGE I tried with mi flash 2016.08.30 same result
I get different status on mi flash, one is (image not matching device), even though I think I did everything well.
7 - Since last try of flashing my computer does not even recognise my phone in fastboot mode like before :/ and MiFlash doesn't see my phone :/
Please give me some advice/clue to revive my phone :crying:
In advance I thank you so much :good:
I use Windows 10 - 64 bits

Well i am not at all an expert in miui, infact this is my first mi phone. But i think this tool called xiaomi adb/fastboot tool can help u. Google it.... It is available in reddit. One piece of general advice : before any kind of experiment always keep a preparation for the worst case scenario. I think ur phone is stuck at boot. U can try to hold the power button for about 10-15 seconds to turn off. Also just relax and have patience... It will b solved. Let me know how it goes.

Nevermind I misread... If you think clarity or the firmware messed up your phone I could give you my kernel and firmware for you to restore it
Though if you're desperate for a solution, I'd transfer a ROM into your phone and start over with it, you can flash MIUI also by flashing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByWEieei-0nyMTR4R0dxWk9BTms/view after it
Your version of miflash is a little bit outdated! The last One is from may, last year if my memory doesnt fail. Install latest version of miflash and try to flash again stock ROM.
You can try also flashing stock ROM with miflash but in edl mode (emergency download mode) , instead of fastboot mode, but to do that you have to acess stock recovery, and then use this command " adb reboot edl", connect your phone to PC, and then see of detects, then flash then stock ROM. To acess stock recovery, press volume up + Power, if that not works, press volume up + volume down+ Power. Hope i helped
Ok I solved the problem using this method.
So I removed back cover, disconnected battery, connected the 2 points with a twizzer then flashed STOCK rom and it worked!! So relieved!
Thank you for the help anyway.

Problem solved.
I got revived my redmi 4 again from softbricked locked bootloader,
By trying an older rom
santoni_global_images_V8.2.12.0.MAMMIEA_20170629.0000.00_6.0_global_751410291c.tgzWith miflash-20220218 in edl mode .
Hey guys, I’ve purchased a k20 pro 6/128 variant here in Trinidad and Tobago from Let’s Talk phone company which imports phones and sell it here in Trinidad and Tobago. No one else sells the device here in my country.
When I opened my phone and started using it, I saw that it was the fake global rom which was installed on it. So I came onto here to try to flash the china firmware on it, which I did. After flashing the firmware on it, i installed twrp and wiped everything, data + cache + Dalvik Cache + System, then I flashed the EU firmware on it. After successfully flashing it I flashed magisk and some modules on it, and the phone worked GREAT! Then one day while using it the phone just shut down just like that and never booted back up. It stayed on the boot screen and did nothing!
So I tried reflashing the Chinese firmware with miflash, but this time I Accidentally RELOCKED bootloader, but when I first purchased the phone, the bootloader was already UNLOCKED. Miflash successfully flashed the chinese firmware v10.3.8.0 and the phone booted. I was RELIEVED! But after using it for a while, the phone started freezing! And their was a problem with the front camera! Somehow my front camera won't open properly, it kept saying "Can't open front camera, please calibrate".
And when I press Calibrate, popup cam goes up and down 3 times in a row and says "Can't calibrate".
So I went and request to unlock the bootloader and waited 168 hours, and in that 168 hours I left the phone untouched because it kept crashing and never boot back up unless if I go into recovery and wipe data. So I left the phone untouched for a whole week! Yesterday the waiting period came to an end and FINALLY I unlocked the bootloader! When I opened back up miflash I ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED BOOTLOADER AGAIN!!!! :’( Now Mi unlock is saying that I need to wait 30 DAYS TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER BEFORE I CAN TRY TO FIX MY PHONE AGAIN! Please help me. Is there any way to flash the firmware on a locked bootloader? i dont care which firmware it is, once my phone is working again.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated!
Only solution is to enter to edl mode by test point but its too risky or to get a mi account with edl authorization, wait till the end of 30 days and dont make the same error for 3 time.

I forgot to mention, after using miflash the last time, i flashed the indian global firmware on it using Miflash. The phone wont boot up past the recovery mode. It says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" in red. Tried wiping data but same results.
You have to unlock the bootloader and it will work again

1.Go to fastboot. try flash latest chineese fastbootrom.
doesnt work?
Then you only have choice for EDL mode flash.
But edl mode requires authentification anyway which in most case you do not own..
we need something solid edl flash method.. this is common&biggest xiaomi problem

Here are the list of things i've tried thus far:
1- Tried flashing china fastboot rom 10.3.8.0 with Miflash. No luck.
2- Tried unlocking bootloader with Mi unlock. Have to wait the 30 day period.
3- Tried unlocking bootloader with fastboot commands. Didn't work.
4- Tried flashing LR twrp and unofficial twrp, No luck as well.
I've sent an Email to [email protected] couple hours ago. Waiting to hear from them.
As for edl mode, i've no idea what it is or how to even start. If someone can guide me as to what to do, i'll try it. Appreciate all the feedback and help from y'all

I dont know how you can flash indian rom with locked bootloader.
Now there is only one method for you, open the back cover of the fone, do test point method, flash china fastboot firmware and unlock again.

EDL mode will not work untill you have a EDL Authorized account
I had already tried and it was a bad idea to open the back cover just stick with unlocking bootloader
EDL test point will not work because xaiomi made because no body should buy Chinese Varient phone and flash global rom ,and I don't understand exactly why xaiomi did this with EDL and bootloader
Opened up the back of my phone, found the edl mode test point, miflash recognizes the device and begins flashing then i get this error "cannot receive hello packet"

Ok, when I flash my mi5, it is the same. You only need to reboot the device into edl and try to flash again.

i said to you,i had faced the same issue,only unlocking the bootloader will help you
or you can try chinese mi pc suite,with english translator but you have to flash chinese recovery rom,
but im not sure it will work ,in my case it didnt work because it had base rom of indian varient
actually chinese and indian k20 pro are not the same
for example indian k20 pro dont have NFC
but chinese varient have nfc

I have some ideas but I have not verified them. You can try to replace the recovery.img in china firmware for twrp and then fastboot flash on edl mode。if it can be done， dnot star it just into twrp and formatted data.
I will test this method on my old mi5 a little later.
To fix the front camera problem you'll have to flash the persist.img file of the 10.3.8 into the persist partition. It worked for me several times.
I accidentaly lock my bootloader, too, but I was able to unlock it right away
Don't worry mate, I had the same issue.
See this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/destroyed-error-fastboot-locked-t3946012
I got mine fixed, you just need someone with an authorised account to help you out.
You got this far! You are almost there! trust me.
Thanks guys. I messaged the guy. Let's see if this works
Hey Guys,
One of my younger brother some how managed to brick a stock 4A, and when starting it up, its stuck at the MI logo, however I am able to go in the Fastboot and stock recovery via the side volume and power buttons and the phone is charging while powered off.
I have tried factory resting via the stock recovery, but no use, still stuck at the logo.
Is there any app or software like odin (for Samsung), where I can flash a stock Rom in fastboot via my pc? If so can you please share the link to the thread or step by step instructions to do so?
i want to share again, its stock with no Xiaomi account or any USB debugging enabled from the developer options as it is pure stock. I have also attached the pictures of the phone with this message (I know it won't help, but just in case).
I want to thank every one for giving me their time in assisting me in resolving this issue.
Have a great day.

Thank you bro, I tried, it, firstly it said Error: Flash Tz error" on flashing the rom via Mi flash. I did extracted it two times as stated and also tried extracting it once and I also tried placing the folder in C:/ drive (root), but the problem persists.
Also, I tried changing the drivers in device manager, but no use. I also downloaded ADB drivers, which gave me Xiaomi adb boot loader drivers but same issue.
Regarding the EDL, double clicking on edl.cmd, just reboots the phone to "MI" logo again and no black screens or red led light to show that its in the EDL mode, and I did tried flashing on the MI logo but the same results.
Please help.

Wow wait were u trying edl or fastboot
The method I provided is for fastboot not for edl(though most of it same except u need to remove the back cover and do something)
If u think u can really do edl mode flashing the see this vid
Link :-
I think edl is the only method to fix this problem
I reccomend you to give ur phone to a shopkeeper to do it
If u think u can DL the thing that guy did in that vid u r free to go ahead
Hello everyone today i flash an incompatible rom with twrp and my screen turn completely black After reboot twrp in recovery .
Do you have solution ?
Sorry for my bad English
Hi if you can open bootloader, flash stock rom
The easy solution is press power+volume down. Phone should boot into fastboot mode. Then flash fastboot ROM without relocking the bootloader.
The other way is taking phone to service center. They'll flash stock in edl mode.
I can't seem to put it in fastboot mode. but by pressing the 3 buttons or by changing the buttons I managed to put it in something else I think that at times I manage to put it on a fastboot but the screen always remains black impossible to know i have this message in device manager (Unknown usb devices request for descriptor) do you think it causes me to reinstall drivers what could be the cause? how to adjust as soon as i can connect it so l is not a Qualcomm USB hs 2008.

Doesn't EDL need authorized mi account these days? It'd better to visit service center because installing EDL driver & all the fuss will be useless
May be you can find some drivers which can recognise your phone to work with ADB in fastboot and flash a new ROM. If that doesn't work, then a service center is the next best option.

Sounds like your device boots into EDL mode, likely due to a corrupted bootloader from the incompatible firmware you've flashed. If you have the EDL firehose files for your device, you can use QFIL to flash a compatible ROM, alternatively try to EDL flash the boot partition with a working boot (that may get you from EDL to a soft brick with a working bootloader and Fastboot - from there you can try try and flash a working firmware).

I unfortunately tried to install all the drivers but nothing has worked difficult to know if a fastboot is started it's a hassle when the screen is completely black even with the task manager open I don't I did not succeed finally I ended up paying someone who had me unlock my phone it cost me 29 € my phone is now unlocked which I can advise on the other hand for those who would like to install roms or root their phone is good it is to wait until no auth file is leaked

I see it's super interesting as information I did not know that we could flash only a partition with QFIL.
Unfortunately I could not find the firehose files for the phone as the phone is probably very recent.
I had to pay someone to unlock my phone with an edl account of course .
My work now
Was the unlocking done in person or online? Anyways glad to see it's sorted out.

Hello. Sorry for my poor english.
I have xiaomi redmi 9t lime hardbriked.
No recovery, no fastboot, no boot...
The bootloader is unlocked.
The only hope left is flash stock rom în edl.
I put my phone in edl mode with test point.
Drivers ar corectly installed and Phone is properly recognized in device manager.
The big problem is I can't flash with MI flash because I don't have Authorized Account and Qfil/Qpst wont work.
The stock firmware is redmi 9t lime global fastboot version.I try everything with qfil with no succes.
I need a patched firehose file or a working solution to flash stock firmware în edl.
Thanks a lot.
Any fix please
If you want to have a functional phone, and you have limited skills, don't mess with your rom ffs...or use Miracle Xiaomi Tool Login Edition...pay someone to help you.
just install Miflash and Lastest fastboot Firmware then unpack it and copy this file (firehose) inside the image file ( Replace the old one) and start flash

Thanks a lot! I have the nearly the same problem like @autototal . My phone stopped working and is only recognized as QDLoader 9008. The strange thing in my case is that I had a working Pixelblaster ROM for month on it and it just died without a reason. I never opened the back to bring it to EDL mode.
Anyway... I also got the "only nop" error in the Mi Flash Tool. I tried flashing it with your firehose_ddr.zip and IT WORKED. But then I tried to turn on the phone and it is still in the same state as before (only QDLoader 9008 and no fastboot or anything). Do you have any idea what I could do to bring it back to live?
Thanks a lot

I had the exact same issue. A perfectly working phone for 3 months. Then I turn it off one day and it won't turn back on. I couldn't get MiTools to flash it no matter what I tried.
I found a set of videos that detail removing a capacitor from the main board.
This worked to get my phone booting again with no issues. It may be worth a try if all else fails and you need your data and/or aren't covered under warranty.
