Mi3 W bricked ( please help )

Hi All,
Hope some will help guide me to the right way
Its My friend phone Mi3
I tried to update his phone using updater in miui, after choose update rom cancro .zip just finish sucessfull but restart like nothing happen.now Simcard not detected.
I tried to reset factory, failed it just delete some of it but data still there, so went to recovery ( in chinese just know the word emmc , so i choose to wipe data) successfully reseted .
Ok fine, i tried to root using kingroot ( success ) after that i tried to flash twrp, nothing happen, so try to enter fastboot (manual and adb)it just restart and came back to system, tried to go into recovery also the same reboot and nothing happened.
In adb mode ' adb devices ' detect 0123456789abcdef , when i check in phone imei and baseband 'unknown'
Already tried fix using adb shell but failed
miui pc suite not detecting phone
Try most driver suggested not working
Pc just detect storage only
So now
The phone
-boot normaly,
-no sim detected
-rooted by kingroot but cant flash twrp
-wifi useable (working)
-no imei (unknown)
-no fastboot ( cant go edl mode)
-recovery mode just (chinese ,test mode... And emmc deleted)
This Mi3 W
-Cannot enter or go into Fasboot manually or adb command ( so cannot miflash, flash boot or recovery img, cant edl mode)
-tried flash twrp but cannot boot to twrp recovery
So most unbricked steps need to go into fastboot in order to recover back. Is there any other way?
Please help
Im blurred rite now

Anybody?

I don't understand be a bit clear and specific
Which ROM was the phone on before flashing?

hi
1. please first try fastboot rom flashing via EDL...
for going to EDL ;
on adb ;
# reboot edl
or with a EDL cable ...
or via test point ;

Flash Official ROM A2

Hello all!
I recently bought a second hand Xiaomi MI A2 online however I found a problem.
The previous owner did a factory reset on it but I'm stuck in the initial set up configuration because it asks me for the google account credentials attached to the phone. I texted the previous owner but had no answer.
So I tried to flash the official ROM to bypass the issue but I get an error message from Xiaomi Flash Tool saying "remote: Flash is not allowed in Lock State".
I think this is happening for one of the following reasons:
The previous owner didn't enable USB Debugging (thing I can't do because I'm stuck in the set up configuration)
The bootloader is locked (and I can't unlock it because I don't have the credentials of the attached account)
Does anyone knows how can I solve this problem?
Thank you for your attention

Just unlock bootloader(critical too) and use miflash

I also have a Mi A2 stuck in android logo screen can't can't boot into device developer options to unlock bootloader.
Fastboot oem unlock give me error flashing is not allowed.
Is there anyway around this?

You need to do an unlock of critical partitions - "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"

Thanks. I've tried the MIFlash Tool and I get Error Flashing Not allowed in Lock State. I've also tried the MI A2 ToolKit and get the same message. Basically anything I try and do states device is locked or unable to run in Lock State.
Boot Loader is currently locked and I cannot access developer mode to enable OEM unlocking. Question I have is :
- Can I use EDL Cable to work around this or do EDL cables not longer work with Newer Xiaomi phones?
- If EDL cable doesn't work, is the tespoint method my only option.
thanks in advance

yes it's difficult .... I understand
edl maybe work, but I'm not sure...maybe if you go to a repair shop is a better solution

I would try a wipe from the recovery but if that doesnt work then just test point the phone. It isnt that hard, I had to do it myself today because of a soft brick. You just need a T3 screwdriver really. Take out the 2 bottom screws. Take a razor and slide it under the corner of the display and lift it enough the get a credit card in there. Then just work around and you should be able to get the screen off. Take the small metal plate off just above the battery and disconnect the battery and the connector on the right. There will be the test points, short them out, connect the phone to the pc(you can stop shorting out the points when it gets detected) and you have like 10-15secs to start flashing the phone in miflash(obviously you need to have the drivers already set up).

I have same problem with xiaomi mi a2 which had bootloop. Was not able to start device at all so no oem unloco no developer options and no usb debug. It was possible only adb sideload and fastboot. Adb sideload did nothing. I was trying to flash with adb sideload but it stops at 47% with message 1.00 x. Did try several roms with same results. Then i tried fastboot options. Falied to unlock not allowed. Itsl was impossible to get even into phone to activate developer options so i can activate oem unlock and the rest. I tried edl mode which did flash but then i got error message in bootloader it failed to mount system etc. Then i tried mi x6 rom to convert phone to another which doesnt have usual recovery mode but a stripped oem recovery mode. Now when u go back to mi a2 rom its bricked so there is no option of adb at all now. I tried to use mi x6 mi assistant option but app wont recognize usb connection it shows try normal mode then switch. When activating mi assistant on phone it does recognize rom version from recovefy flash in mi assistant app but when it downloads update rom version it cant continue. With pixel you can do anything with adb and it is so easy but xiaomi sucks big time. You cant do anything. Fastboot flashing unlock critical and fastboot oem unlock gets error failed. Flashing not allowed. U tried diferent cables but no luck. So now what? Thats why i hate adb. On samsung odin you can do impossible possible. Even with sp tools on mtk. Even boxes works flawlessly but xiaomi system is just thr worse. It doesnt matter if you get soemthing lost there is always a solution to other phones.

After having device sit as a paper weight for a few months, i broke down and ordered a phone repair kit. Opened device up and flashed via test point method. Worked Flawless. Time to enable OEM unlock so i don't have to open it up again. Thanks to community for all the help.

Use cmd
- go to fastboot then "fastboot oem unlock"
- go to fastboot again "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
Flash with mi flash
Done

Just stumbled upon this and while may be 18 months too late, here's the step by step process to flash ROM on MI A2 that's giving error "Flash is not allowed in Lock State":
1) switch off device
2) enter fastbood mode (press hold power+vol down few seconds)
3) connect device with laptop
4) install and open adb folder on laptop (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
5) within adb folder -- shift + right click = open powershell here
6) fastboot flashing unlock_critical
7) step #6 may be pointless if phone is bricked but do it anyway
8) fastboot oem edl
9) find and download latest stock rom for your device (FASTBOOT version). It'll be .tgz file
10) extract the image folder from within (would be the same name as .tgz file)
11) open miflash (coudln't find link but look it up, it's easy)
12 select the image folder you extracted in step #10
13) click refresh. device name appear means it's recognized
14) from bottom of mi flash tool select whatever you want. I do "clean all"
15) flash (top right mi flash tool)

you need to open phone with screwdriver & do the test point ..search for video on YouTube...then EDL deepflash state you can use miflash to put back OFFICIAL only rom to device.

Redmi 4a - brick...Need help!

Hi everyone!
I need help, please.
Xiaomi Redmi 4A - 2/16 Gb. Boot unlocked.
Problem after flashing miui 11 with error:
1. TWRP - don`t aviable now and I can`t flash it;
2. Fastboot - I can enter in Fastboot mode, but smartphone not detected by computer (win 7/64) and notebook (win 10/32). all drivers - ADB, Quallcom - installed correctly;
3. I try to enter EDL mode - with two test points on a motherboard. I tried to connect them - without effect - my PC and Notebook can`t detect device...
What can I do ?

Try my suggestions
If you have another smartphone please download apk
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.sisik.hackendebug
Bring your bricked phone to fastboot mode. Using bugjaeger apk you can flash and anyhow you told that bootloader is unlocked if your bootloader is locked then whole procedure will not work
I am providing YouTube link try it
https://youtu.be/G_E8ImOoQZM
Video is about 7:54 Watch the video 4:00 carefully
Dont Flash any custom ROM or recovery
flash all files which is in stock ROM only (zip or rar or tgz)
and don't lock bootloader.
After flashing try to restart phone
If the procedure didn't work
Sorry for wasting your time.

MiFlash v2020.3.14.0 tools give errors in fastboot mode(Fastboot Update)!

Hi
I want to flash my Mi 9 Lite by MiFlash v2020.3.14.0 in fastboot mode(Fastboot Update).
My device is unlocked and unroot, I download the latest official tgz ROM and decompress it and run MiFlash and past the ROM address to the MiFlash tool, after refreshing my device is recognized , I click on flash button, but MiFlash tools show me "error:not catch checkpoint (\$fastboot -s.*lock).flash is not done"
Even by going to the configuration menu and removing the text "\$fastboot -s .* lock" from the checkpoint and OK it and then clicking on the flash, the program will quickly show the flash done and show flashing is success, but it is not actually flashed!!!
I have already installed Minimal ADB Fastboot v1.4.3 and device driver, developer options and usb debugging is on.
in CMD I run fastboot devices command and my device is recognized
I even installed TWRP recovery by adb commands
what's the solution?
Why MiFlash does not flash the official ROM and shows error?
How can I flash the official ROM(*.tgz file) in Fastboot?
thanks.

Probably you did something wrong trying to remove that text, you don't need to remove it if your bootloader is unlocked.
You can flash it directly using fastboot commands, or you can flash it through EDL mode too.

Thank you for your answer
My device bootloader is unlocked, I also saw and checked it. I did it both when it was text and when I deleted the text, but in fact nothing happened and my device did not flash and only remained in the same fastboot mode until I restarted it and it started normally.
I even tried the new version of Mi Flash Tool v20210226 and got the same result as before.
I downloaded 3 different versions for mi 9 lite from the official site, https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2, and as I explained, it was.
even I downloaded other regional Roms but the same result...
you said : You can flash it directly using fastboot commands, or you can flash it through EDL mode too.
How can I flash an official ROM with the *.tgz extension(in fastboot mode or other mode)?

Mm, Maybe you are trying to use the fastboot ROM through Mi Flash tool without firstly decompressing it?
You need to decompress first the tar.gz file, you will find inside all the image partitions, the scripts needed.
As you can see in the images in this thread, the files have to be accessible for the tool to can load them https://androidmtk.com/use-xiaomi-mi-flash-tool
This is the simplest way, using Mi Flash tool, you can use it in fastboot (if unlocked) or in EDL mode (no matter locked or not). Take care to not choose the option "relock" device if you don't want to do that.
For the fastboot commands you require to decompress the files and execute simply fastboot flashall -w this will format data and update your device. Sometimes this simple command doesn't work, then you can edit the flashall.bat file, line-by-line, to the scripts being executed.

No.
I decompress first the tar.gz file! I wrote all my actions in post 1 and post 3.
I followed the instructions written on the official Xiaomi page(https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2)
how can I flash the official ROM in fastboot mode or any other mode?
Please write a guide for me. my device is Mi 9 Lite.
thank you.

You can flash through EDL mode the same way as it is in the guide you followed, the main difference is that you have to put your device in EDL mode to perform the operation.
As your device is unlocked you can put it in EDL mode without the need to disassemble the back cover, either using fastboot oem edl or from a device off, pressing both volume buttons at the same time that you connect to the PC, firstly open Windows device manager and check that it is listed as Qualcomm 9008-USB, you need to install this https://www.getdroidtips.com/download-qualcomm-qdloader-hs-usb-driver/

The folder can be placed in any side, even I always have my tool installed in the main drive (C) and the Miui ROM in another partition (D) you have to suppress all the spaces in the names and lastly browse where the images' directory is, not inside but where it is the images directory and the scripts.
What about EDL, did you achieve to get it? Upload some screenshot, from the browser files and from the error you are getting, I'm sure it's easy to fix it, maybe you are missing something.

I tried everything and the same error was shown!
I did not try the EDL method because I am not a professional user and I want to use safe, common and easy methods.

Don't use "Clean all & Lock" at least till you solve it.
EDL method is simple to use if you have your bootloader unlocked (this is one of the reasons why you don't have to lock it right now).
To use the EDL method you just have to power off completely, then while you connect the device to the PC press both volume buttons.
Before install the Qualcomm 9008 USB drivers.
