before it happened my phone could only go to twrp recovery and bootloader mode because it had no oc the i installed a firmware named (fw__miui_HM3Global_V9.5.3.0.LAIMIFA_7ee05887b5_5.1.zip) using the twrp after tapping reboot my phone never rebooted its hard bricked because the screen is always black no matter what button combination i hold nothing happens the xiaomiflashtool reads it as COM10 and pc reads it as (Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM10)) i wanna know if i have any hope of getting my device back or am i screwed because cant afford an other one.
EDIT:i used the miflash tool on a different computer it reads the phone as COM4 now and when i try to flash the ROM i get an error with this texte "cannot receive hello packet"
i found online that the only fix for that is if i get an authorized miflash account
is that right? and if so how is it possible to get one? this is a problem that most people who brick there phones get . it would help alot if we solve the problem in this thread . thank u for your time.
Hi
I have same problem on my mi 8 se locked bootloader with system has been destroyed
Did you find any real solution please?
I have a phone which wont recognized via fastboot. Do you think EDL could help in this case?
Try some original CN Firmwares. This works for my brick.
What is this authorized account thingy? I got my account's permission to unlock bootloader since 2016 and I used a method (googled "miui how to know if your account is authorized" and the first link) (cus i am new i cant post links) to check if the account is authorized and it is apparently. Didn't you unlock your device's bootloader with your own account because it should be authorized or I dont know...?

Search for "XIAOMI Anti-Rollback Protection"
This is different than unlock permission. This thing is such a nightmare. I hardbricked my phone because of this, only after I paid 20$ for authorised account access, my phone got back to life.

My account is apparently authorized. I will ask some more in other places. I have been reading a lot and I think that it is authorized but not 100% sure if I will be able to unbrick devices.

No this is not what i meant. My mi account also show this to me.
Only authorized sellers have authorized accounts like Xiaomi india, xiaomi taiwan repair service etc. Users can not have it.
When you try to flash your phone via EDL it stops and ask you authorized account. But if you don't hardbrick your phone, you can flash with your account :good:
Hi guys,
I have just read a previous post from "abdulmaalik1tt" about a problem after an accidental bootloader closing. I have a similar problem but in my case, I think it is harder.
I intentionally closed the bootloader after installing everything in my K20 Pro, but I didn't know that if it is closed by other one than the one who opened it, the phone will brick.
I tried to unlock again, but in 99% the app gives me an error, and ask me to change something in developer options. Obviously, I can't do so, because the phone doesn't boot.
I tried to use miflash but it gives me an error because the bootloader is now closed
Is there a way to unbrick my phone? Should I throw it away through the window?
Thank you in advance.
same case, you open the back, do test point method, if you Mi account is not EDL authorized, you can borrow, or call the guys that help many k20 pro user in XDA.
please help
do you get any solution to this case? i have the same issue.
I had the same problem. Sadly the only thing you can do yourself (it's also the fastest and cheapest option) is to open your smartphone, short the two EDL points on the motherboard to access the EDL mode, contact someone with an authorized Xiaomi account to input his username and password in the Mi Unlock tool (through Teamviewer) and enable you to install the stock Chinese firmware.
The only other option, sadly, which I didn't like at all, is to send it to a Xiaomi service point.
And all of this because the default option in the Mi Flash tool is "install and LOCK". Idiotic.
PM me if you need the contact of the guy with the authorized acc.
if you can boot in fastboot try unlock bootloader with miflash unlock but old version it work for me later unlock bootloader you can flash stock with miflash again
I am in same boat - fake global rom, flashed forgetting to set to Clean all only - so bootloader locked.
Seller is no reachable - so looks like this is my only way.
When you guys say 'short' these two pins - how did you do that? with a paperclip? and you mean from one pin to the other pin?
--Update for future reference of others---
My K20 Pro has been restored with help from the Russian contact provided on previous page - ask nicely, he is very busy so don't waste his time.
My experience was great, he was patient, we made appointment time over whatsapp, we have to try twice as i couldn't get into EDL mode (try a different pair of scissors or tweezers).
Once in EDL he logged into his mi account via my team viewer session and flashed the rom i has prepared (chinese original fastboot).
Right after flashing - had a bit of trouble booting up the first time, it didn't boot when pressing the power button (no usb cable), when i plug in USB cable - it showed 100% battery but also didn't boot. Had to play with disconnect then reconnect the battery THEN unplug cable. And it finally booted the first time.
Thank you guys!

I ended up blocking the bootloader accidentally giving my k20 pro when changing the rom, but when passing the rom by edl, the device does not turn on in any way, when passing the Chinese rom I have to block the bootloader?
Worth Checking out he thread, maybe older mi unlock can remove the bootloader flag for you ? cheers

K20pro brick
Hi. Can someone help me to create an authorized edl account. Is there anyone who can lend me. I have a k20pro mobile that is completely turned off and I need an authorized account to blink. Send a message. +
After trying all kinds of roms from here, I decided to go back to basics and flash a global stable ROM.
In the Mi Flash software I forgot to check the "Clean All" button, and left the default(I don't know why this is the default) "Clean All and lock"
Now, I'm stuck in a recovery(can go to fastboot as well) bootloop, can't even turn it off unless the battery dies. It says at the bottom : "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
I'm unable to flash it again using mi flash, unable to unlock it again as it gives me a weird chinese error, that translated, it think it says : "This phone has been used by account 622****418, by looking for phone lock"
Unable to boot into EDL, tried with a deep flash cable(seems it is not supported anymore)
I didn't open it, as I still have warranty(just bought it 3 weeks ago).
USB Debugging and OEM unlock are off as it was just flashed so it has default values.
The account on it is mine, but apparently mi Unlock is not recognizing it. My Mi account has different digits and I have permission to unlock the bootloader since last year.
Is there any way that I can go around this ?
I'm thankful for any advice that you have, guys...
Your device is most likely permanently bricked - when the bootloader is locked with a global ROM on a Chinese Xiaomi phone, nothing can be done to fix it - except one thing.
Are you sure you're booting into EDL mode correctly? I think you need to short two points on the main PCB while plugging in a USB cable. Xiaomi has a proprietary implementation of EDL mode - IIRC you need special Xiaomi software and a Mi account with the appropriate permissions (you can beg Xiaomi for permission on the Mi forums, or buy a working account from someone online). In EDL mode, you can re-flash the China ROM and recover the device.
Most likely, that's what I'll have to do, but I wanted to consume every chance and tutorial online before I remove the Back glass...SO it's Service Center or Test Point with auth accounts, which it's hard to get. I rather pay. Just wanted to make sure that it's bricked from my perspective, like I can't do anything to fix it from my end. Thanks
There is nothing you can do, the bootloader is now locked and you are on a rom that's not matching.
I used the Russian tech reported in one of the other threads about bricked k20 pro, costed me $20 and I needed to open up the phone, and do test point edl which were all easy and well worth it to save the $650 AUD I paid for the phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/destroyed-error-fastboot-locked-t3946012/page6
just add him on whatsapp and be nice to the tech and he will help you. I saw other posts if you ask him like an ass then he will ignore you.
I definitely don't want to open the phone. If it comes to that, I rather pay someone to do everything with proper tools and software.
You know, try to get in touch with xiaomi support. Explain The case and maybe they unlock it for you from there.
Hey Bro

Did you find any solution without edl method? Cause currently I'm facing the same problem.
The only solution here is to go into EDL Mode, if you dont have an authorized mi account, I recommend s-unlock.com they have an automated service and their own tool to flash your phone, go check them out. If you have doubt opening the phone, it isnt hard. Just use playing card first and dont remove it, then find an old credit card to continue further gently.

After removing the back of my phone and fixing it with the help of an awesome dude from Japan found on whatsapp...I tried to unlock my bootloader again, and realised that the account I had in my phone was not the one that I was entering on miUnlock. I couldn't see that because the error message at 99% was in trad Chinese.
Maybe it would've worked if I knew that. If you go into Fastboot and try to unlock it, what message do you get?
Hi, i found in the street a redmi 10s and then i unlock bootloder and quit the mi acount security temporaly with mkt client v5.2, but when it try to conect to some diferent wifi that my house wifi (wich with i did the unlocking) or i conect the data conection of my sim card, it apear once again... and i need to restart my mobilphone conect to the computer and make again the temporaly mi account unlock.... I had try to flash, and some one else, but it apear again...
Some body know about how quit this permantly? or the name of the process that (i supose this servic eis in the firmware not in the software) to install a cmd in the mobile and quit this process when the mobile start?
Thanks
You should have handed it in to the police, or waited until the owner called the phone or something to try and get it back, maybe getting a reward for doing so if you were lucky. If it's mi account locked as you say... it's useless to you.

don't tell me you really found it in a street and formatted it.
there is technically a solution but i won't tell
there are stories like this one all over xda, thr fact is: it always is about illegal acquired devices, shame on all those who try to get help from honest people here
Hello everyone! I think i messed up so i need your help!
I was using a xiaomi.eu rom and i decided to try the PixelExperience. After i successfully flashing my phone i decided that pixel rom is not for me so i wanted to flash to my previous rom. After many unsuccessful flashing attempts i managed to brick my phone. My phone doesn't turn on, the screen is black although in "device manager" it shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 so i guess it is on EDL mode. When i try to flash stock rom with MiFlash i get an error "write time-out, maybe device was disconnected". Any ideas?
Happened to me too when I tried going to another aosp based rom. In the process of you doing so you must have made a slight error which through you into that mess. For me to get out of the situation your in right now you'll need the official login for mi tool which nobody but people in xiaomi have. And the reason its not made for the public is due to security reasons. But anyways besides the point you'll probably need to contact someone online and they'll login in and flash the eu rom you want. It cost me 25 euro in order to do this. Wish you luck!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ring-firmware-for-venus-xiaomi-mi-11.4288933/ you could try this, on xiaomi.eu forum said it doesn't need authorization to flash via Xiaomi Flash Tool. If it doesn't work you'll need to disassembly your phone. I crashed my back glass coz of that :/
