Bricked my phone today...

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..

Mi A2 killed after converting to 6X. Help

I followed the procedure of converting Mi A2 to Mi 6x. But the phone does not turn on after that, nothing appears on the screen, not even the fastboot.
Already tried to open cel, and do the test point, the phone is recognized in the device manager, but always the error when using Mi Flash. I've done this procedure before, on another phone. I always get the error "can not read from COM port x"
Already tried:
Uninstall and install qualcomm drivers, various versions of Roms, 8.1, 9, Mi 6X.
Restart the computer, other USB ports, other cables.

Mi A2 converting 6x
When everything is fine don't warry . Charged your phone.
If anything is wrong that means device is dead.. go to service center or edl mode to connect your device to pc

I've done it before, but now nothing works. Mobile phone is open here, already tested test point on all USB ports, and on another computer. But now I always get the error on the COM port.
I will let the phone charge 100% to see what happens. But even the sign of life when I connect the charger.

With the modified prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660 file from Redmi note 5 the phone flashes, but it does not work. I think I need the patched version for Mi A2 ..
Would anyone know how to modify the prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660 file or have the patch version for Mi a2?

Already managed to find the modified file for Mi A2, can close ...

sorry to say the adb4 was triggered base on my experience, you cannot revive your phone anymore, unless if your phone was under warranty and you can go to service center to replace the motherboard. of course do a legal alibi that your phone don't open after a update and never say that you try to modify. if your phone is already no warranty, you can still approach the service center for replacement of the board but with the cost, well mostly the cost was same as a brand new Mi A2.

I managed to revive, it was hard work, but now it's working. I needed the modified prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr for A2 not to check, and a modified version of Miflash. Open the phone, start by test point and use these modified files.

Apparently I'm stuck on MIUI ... But at least my phone worked. I think if I use the modified file in Rom stock, it may work ... But as I already closed my phone, I'm afraid to give error and open having to open again. Yes, arb4.

When the PC does not recognize the device, there're few reasons for that. And doing the testpoint trick is the last you should try. But since u already opened the device, use QFIL to flash the stock into the device. For Xiaomeme devices which released from 2020 till now, yes, you must have Authenicated Mi acc in order to flash in EDL mode. But Raphael is released in 2019, then you still can do it, only that even u don't need Auth Mi Acc, but still need an Auth firehose prog in order to flash, and luckily, this can be more easier to find.
So, let's hope that your device is not ded as in ........ ded ))))))))))))))))))

Question Mi 11 ultra Dead after upgrade to MIUI13

Hi All,
I received an update notification yesterday on my China Market device with Global ROM and I immediately downloaded the update to MIUI13. I had 60% battery when the download finished and after downloading it did an app optimization. After that, I hit the reboot button with 58% battery. The device turned off and since then the device is literally not showing any sign of life. it doesn't charge or show up in the ADB devices list. My MBP doesn't recognize USB in the devices list. What is the best option I have? From threads, it doesn't sound like a brick or EDL mode to me but should I still contact the EDL guy?

Just an update. I was using Macbook to test if the device is alive. MacBook Pro doesn't show any updates when you connect a new device. I plugged USB into a Windows machine installed on my Bootcamp, Windows recognized the device as Qualcomm 9008. Which is effectively in EDL mode. I have no idea how the device got into that mode but my assumption is that I had TWRP installed with BL open and when going from Android 11 to Android 12 via MIUI13, something called anti-rollback protection which was implemented by Xiaomi put the phone into EDL mode. Luckily, I am in the UK and got in touch with Xiaomi after sales, they agreed to repair it because the issue was caused by a software update.
Lesson Learned: Never update your phone via OTA to a newer android version without taking a proper backup. A really bad experience with Xiaomi. it cost me one day to try to fix and will be costing me some time to install everything back after the repair. I am seriously thinking to buy an iPhone now.

I dont think its about anti-rollback function
That function only affect when u try to flash from higher miui version back to lower version. It will not allow u to do that
In your case, it 's all about xiaomi software problem :| and it is unacceptable problem

Well, finally I got in touch with the EDL guy and he fixed it smoothly. I literally had to go through a lot of documents and websites to understand the problem but he fixed it in 10 minutes. I think he is using some sort of cracked miFlashTool where he interferes with the communication between the phone and Xiaomi servers and bypasses authorization issues. I think many people are having problems at that point when following the EDL operation explained on the internet. Anyways, fixed it fairly easily and cheaply.

That's very strange. Why first update led to brick
By Global eu rom you mean EEA or Xiaomi.eu ROM?
p.s. I know at least one Mi 11 ultra and one Mi 11 faced the same issue

i had to buy a cheap phone today i called costumer service they keep hanging up each time while i talk to them
my fastboot is locked and my brain 2 is locked dont know hat to do anymore

If you can get to fastboot, you can flash the original stock ROM. Plenty of instructions here and on the Xiaomi EU forums. You only need edl if you cannot get to fastboot.

You cannot flash anything in fastboot if bootloader is locked

In that case, you will need an edl flash to recover. But be careful that he doesn't leave it with an edl account permission or you won't be able to unlock without that edl account. Although I thought you could flash the original stock firmware that it came with back on with it locked.

Hi, i have same problem after try to flash Miui 13. But The MIflash tool shows error:sw path is not valid, have not found solution for this error message. How can I Get in contact with the EDl Guy.. I have a Mi 11 Pro

Reminds my about the new released Samsung galaxy S22 series, lots of problems for some weeks now_

It´s so frustrating that the update caused this. It´s now the first time for me to solve this problem. But I have so many other issues that I don´t have the time for this. I´ve read some threads where some persons have written about people who can unbrick it online. This would be right now my first choice. Could somebody help me where I can contact someone for help please.

im sending you link now who to contact and this is not spam

Hello same here - I guess flashed wrong version from EEA instead of EU of Android 11 - all went good but then I allowed OTA updates and finally update to MUI13 I had a brick.
Now I am in contact with one EDL guy but not certain he is legit. Can you send me PM for your contact?

I'm planning on purchasing this phone but things like this one makes me worried. Is there a risk to update the eu stable firmwares from fastboot with bootloader unlocked?

If you know how to do it, no risk.

Question Xiaomi Mi11 Bricked (black screen-EDL Mode)

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 :/
