Mi 8 bricked authorized account (s-unlock.com)

hello everybody!
i bricked my Mi 8 like other thousands of users flashing global rom since chinese rom (i selected "clean all and lock" by accident).
I have been searching for a solution for weeks now but it seems that the only way is to get an authorized account to be able to bring back to life our devices.
It is redicolous that we have to pay to unlock our phones, anyway, i am searching for people with the same problem to buy multiple accounts for cheaper.
any answeres are much appreciated.
thank you in advance!

Forget that sh*t. Write this guy and ask him to help you. He has already helped more than 400 people I think and he's doing exactly the same than s-unlock bast*rds but for free, just to help. Honestly I think he deserves a donation if he helps you (like I donated when he helped me) but he will never tell you nothing about it. I truly admire him. @NikSalsa

You really have to. EDL cable doesn't work. By the way it looks like the guy I quoted in my previous post has set a web to charge for the service, sad. You can write him anyway and see what he answers.

yeah i contacted him and he sent me the link of the website, he basically provides the same service like s-unlock.com, just for cheaper, about 16 euros. I will go for that, it is the only solution.
thank you so much!

The difference is that EDL authorization doesn't require to open the phone.

Guys, hello!! I bricked my Mi8 too....
In my cellphone says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
And when i will flash a new rom in Miflash says "Erase boot error"
In MiPCSuite have some error when i try to recovery...
Please guys, i really need some help with someone, i can pay if is the case...
Please...

Thanks for the answer, i already solve my problem, i got a ID verification and flash my phone. I was desesperated, LoL

Dude, could you help me? This happened to me today, could you explain to me how was your solution?

Of course, yes, i'm brazilian.
You need to open your cellphone and do the TESTPOINT for enable the COM PORT on your computer, the EDL mode. The next move is to flash with Miflash program and will ask you the ID verification, this ID only developers guys have.
But, they charge a value to do this service, which is to only authenticate on your computer, I have the contact of it if you want I can pass you, is a Brazilian.
I paid R$90,00BRL

Po thank you very much, I'll see him then, I managed to open and did EDL mode but my account does not have access, I'll talk to him

I am just as suffering from being fooled into purchasing a locked smartphone. But, I received a lot of help on this forum. I thank everyone. Mostly thanks to @NikSalsa MOD EDIT:link removed for the attention and support :Boa:. I believe one of the goals of this forum is to promote help, solutions and problem solving. And in this way fraternal actions arise. Something rare today. About services charged I think fair, as well as donation that I will make for sure. I hope that the willingness to help and recognize the help will not be extinguished.

Hey, I had the problem that my Mi8 China version with Global ROM was brick. After spending hours trying to test some of the possibilities and guesses of others. Unfortunately they all ended without success.
So i have addressed MOD EDIT: link removed under Telegeram. If necessary it is also reachable via Whatsapp under MOD EDIT: number removed.
He has explained with the steps what I need everything and after everything was downloaded it takes barely 5 minutes and my Mi8 started again.
Of course you can try all the instructions online or contact @remote_repair98 very fast.

Hey i have the same problem but not same device mine is redmi note 7 lavender but i lost my account password and i can't recover it so i opened the phone and tried flashing it vie EDL test points but iis say the edl auth error can you gelp me pls

On Mi 8 if your fastboot is still available, try issuing 'fastboot oem edl'.
This reboots my unlocked Mi8 into EDL mode without opening the back.
Tool https://github.com/bkerler/edl (thanks to Bjorn) has edl programmer included that doesnt require auth for this phone (poco loader in matched automatically) and allows for programming cmds.
You can either use this QDL or QFIL to download required firmware. Only stock firmware will boot if bootloader in locked.
Perhaps this will help someone.

MDM error, tablet T713 stuck on bootloop.

Hello everyone,
I have my tablet SM-T713 which finds itself completely blocked following a dumpling on my part:
I had activated a software which prevented the installation of software etc on the tab and wanting to simply reset, I had the ingenious idea of ​​making a Wipe data and attempted an installation of a full firmware via Odin above .
Fatal error ! Unable to write on it (MDM) and I find myself in bootloop without the possibility of writing on it or anything.
I tried the TWRP flash without success, I cannot try in ADB or SD : refused.
Is there a tiny hope or can I use it freezbie?
Thank you really much by advance.
Jonathan

Hey,
i have a question: can i use a full nand erase on Odin ? Maybe it's the good solution to repair my tablet?
Thank you !

I check it on the web and i don't find it for T713 Samsung.
Maybe someone here know if it's possible to find it or have a way to "build" it ?

Well I don't know how to build it (yet?) but as I'm interested to know as well, I've asked for how-to on that specific page.
Downloaded a stock T713 ROM and unpacked it.
It contains .mbn files but no .edf I can't identify all what the .mbn are for, if these would be sufficient or more/others are needed.
And of course don't know if the found ones could usefully be flashed with the QPST.
Hope the guy from that page will give positive answers.

The guy wrote an answer but not helpful at all:
<Hi. In case of Samsung devices, the only thing that will work is the Odin program. It’s hard to see a Samsung device getting hard bricked, just because Samsung has all those critical partitions blocked from being flashed. If you ever come across a soft-brick, you can just use Frija to download the latest Odin-flashable firmware and push it through Odin.>
So sorry.

Unlock ANY Pixel from Carrier

____________________________________________________
UPDATE AS OF 16 OF MAY 2023:
The security patch of December of 2022 fixed the patch, so it doesn't work on this version and newer ones.
The project is still alive and I am working to get the exploit to work on newer version, but for now haven't found any.
However due to the complex nature of the project and that I have little free time, expect this to take sometime until a new exploit is available.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know! Any help is welcome
____________________________________________________
Hey everybody!
So recently I bought a Google Pixel 4 XL. The thing is that in Europe they are too expensive compared to the US, so I bought one that was from AT&T(used of course). However is that I need to use my SIM on the phone, but of course, the phone refused to allow me to use my SIM from Spain. ⛔️
So after hours of research, I found a way to unlock it. Here are the steps:
1. Remove your SIM card if it is on the phone
2. Do a factory reset
3. Do OFFLINE SETUP. Also, DON'T PUT ANY PASSWORD OR ANY TYPE OF SCREEN LOCK
4. Once you are on the main screen, enable USB Debugging.
5. Connect the phone to the computer (I assume you already have the USB drivers, platform-tools downloaded and knowledge on how to use ADB commands. If you don't have the SDK downloaded, head to this link and follow the instructions)
6. Inside the platform-tools folder, open a terminal window and run "adb shell"(on mac, once you are on the directory you have to run "./adb shell") and then "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.work.oobconfig" (run them without quotes)
After this, you can already connect the phone to the internet and put your SIM in.
This didn't unlock the phone though . What we have just done is this:
When we connect the phone to the internet, it verifies if it should lock the SIM or not. So we did a setup without internet, so the phone can't do that. After that, we uninstall the package responsible for doing this.
So when we connect it to the internet, it won't check the SIM lock
However, the bootloader is still locked and grey out. This is because this app is responsible to grey or not the bootloader switch. If it is from a carrier, the package will disable the switch, and if not you will have the ability to unlock it. As we kill the app before it could do its job, the bootloader will be waiting until the package gives its answer.
Special thanks to this Jorge Cortés to make this post possible.
If you find the post useful, consider buying me a cup of coffee please with Revolut.

If anyone has problems/doubts please let me know!

Esim is unlocked as well?

Didn't try but should work, as the phone never check if it is from a carrier or not.

Hey,
I am working on that. As it turns out there is a way to flash firmware to any device with a Qualcomm chip, even if the bootloader os locked. It's called EDL mode. This mode was designed to force flash firmware in bricked devices that can't use fastboot or adb.
I already find the app I need to flash, actually there a a lot of different ones( I chose QPST) but it needs some strange files that I didn't find yet, and it won't allow em to use the google firmware neither .
So when I find those files I will write a detailed guide on how to unlock the bootloader , but for now I only know how to use any SIM on a locked Pixel device.

yeah unlike Oneplus Google didn't release any software designed specifically to the Pixel lineup, so you have to use the generic Qualcomm tools.

Yeah of course, there is QFIL also and some others that aren't official. I downloaded them from Androidmtk website.
With this link you go to the qpst download and use instructions section of their webpage. At the bottom you will find similar programs, but I didn't get to try them. You can try them, but make sure they are for Qualcomm Chipset, because some of them are for mediatek phones.

Yes in theory you can extract this files from your phon, however as mine is locked I need them from an unlocked pixel I suppose, but I didn't try to extract the files from my home and the flash them again, it could work. In the QPST you even have a section to that, it's a backup I Believe but not sure about the name.
If you try and it works let me know!

Yes I am also looking for an unlock Pixel 4 XL if I find one I will try extracting these files and post it somewhere on the internet so anyone can access it

Yeah that is a way, but I was thinking that maybe these files are inside of the IMG files of the firmware from Google, and that firmware isn't lock , so if anyone manage to find those files there you wouldn't need to buy another pixel to extract the firmware.
I also think that in reality you don't need the firmware but rather some files for your Qualcomm Chipset to get the Sahara protocol working and I believe later on you flash the firmware, however I am not sure about that as I didn't try it.
I think this because you can find some Qualcomm snapdragon 855 programmer files (which had the extension we need), so they may be basic files that activates the Sahara protocol (which is the one used when the phone is in this mode) and only after I believe you can flash the firmware using some commands.
I would like to try out this but I can't as it could brick my phone and I don't have other to use, and I don't have any other pixel, this is my first and only Pixel ever.
So if you have an older pixel and you want you could try this theory...

Unlock carrier locked bootloader Pixel [BETA]

UPDATE AS OF 16 OF MAY 2023
This project isn't working right now, but I am still working on it.
However due the complicated nature of the projects and the fact that I have little free time means this project will probably still take time to get to functional state.
If anyone has any idea please contact me, any hell is welcome!
______________________________________________________
Hi!
So I decided I wanted to flash custom software into my phone, but it's bootloader was locked so I figure a way to unlock it!
I am going to leave 2 methods:
1. It's the most risky but has more chance of working. The idea is to flash the whole firmware again to the phone, but from an unlocked model.
This is posible using the EDL mode and Sahara protocol.
The EDL mode is an emergency mode which allows user to flash firmware in case fastboot and ADB fails. It's also available in all Qualcomm devices.
It is also completly independent from the rest of the phone, and it's the first bootloader we have. If everything is ok it triggers the second bootloader(fastboot) which then boots the system(See the diagram if you want).
As we want to reflash the firmware keep in mind this could brick your phone and I won't take any resposability if it happen
Materials:
-QPST
-Qualcomm Driver
-Working USB Cable
-Fastboot and ADB set up and working
-knoledge on using ADB
Procedure:
1. Download and install Qualcomm drivers
2. Download and install QPST
4.Downlaod the MBN file
3. Reboot
4. Connect the phone to the PC, then open cmd and run "adb reboot edl".
If you are on fastboot mode, then try "fastboot oem edl", "fastboot reboot-edl", "fastboot reboot edl". One of this should work
5. Go to C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\
6.Open QPST Config(it's a blue phone, see picture)
7. Click on "Start clients" and then "Software download". A new window should open
8. Now we need to select the phone image using the browser button
9. Click on start to flash ⚡️
Please be aware the method wasn't tested, so this could brick your phone.
If you decide to try it, and have questions or ru into problems during the process, please let me know.
Also remember to take a backup of your data, as it is goig to be lost. ℹ
____________________________________________________________________________
As for the second method, I tried it and it didn't work for me, but is completly safe so you may want to give it a try.
1. Enrrol on the android 12 beta program, AND MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA
2. Install the update
3. Now exit from the beta program
4. Now you should have an update, it's a rollback to the stable version of android 12. After you installed the update the phone will restart and factory reset.
5. Do the setup as normal
In the end you may have unlocked the bootloader, to check just go to developer options and check if it is enabled or not.

Can we get a video of how to do this?

That seems to be a probelm with the drivers. Did you install everything properly?
You may want to uninstall them and reinstall again to see if we solve the problem. Also try to run the app with admin privileges
Let me know how if you have more issues or if this doesn;t solve the problem at all.

如果您有更多问题，或者这根本无法解决问题，请告诉我
MOD EDIT: You may need to uninstall them and reinstall to see if we can fix the problem. Also tried running the app with admin rights
Let me know if you have more questions, or if this doesn't solve the problem at all.

同样的问题，无法解决。
MOD Edit: Same problem, can't solve it.

Looks like this is a common issue, I will look the documentation of QPST and see if I see the cause of the problem. Thank you guys for helping up this project

So I found that that version of QPST is outdated(it's the 2.7 build 140 and the latest version is 2.7 build 460). I am leaving a zip with it here.
Try and see if this time around we manage to unlock the bootloader

MOD EDIT:
This is the latest version
这是最新版本

#mcl, I have the same problem as you have, I live in Portugal and bought a used Pixel 4 but apparently it's origin is the US, Verizon. From your original post I take it that you didn't try this method yourself and hope others will try? Or were you successful?

for anyone in the same situation, read this thread: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...ed-against-physical-tampering-in-google-pixel
My guess is: if your pixel's " OEM unlocking " is greyed out it will not be possible to unlock. Although I didn't try the EDL route I'm quit sure that at some point you will get a message "bootloader is locked"

Hey I am quite busy recently so I haven't really had time to look more on the thread, though I believe there will always be a way, it may be hard to find but no OS is perfect, and Android is no exception. As it turns out, even if this method worked, when it connect to the internet there will be a high chance that using the IMEI of the phone it will "remember" it's a locked model and won't allow you to flash new firmware.
However I am working on a new method, which is also safer, though I have still work to do, so when It is ready I am going to publish another guide.
Good luck all untill them

Hi mcl, my problem is: I do like to change OS and I did so on my previous HTC M7 and M10. And these 2 phones still function with PixelExperience 10 or 11.
But at best I'm a simple layman with a lot of enthusiasm.
Anyway, I will keep an eye on this thread and hopefully you will find time to make this new method work!
By the way, I see that we are "neighbors", I live in Portugal.

Hahah yeah we are definitely neighbors.
Well I do want to become a software engineer though right now I am just a busy enthusiastic.
I also really enjoy custom OS, when I had my Galaxy S9 I used to have custom ROMs.
Hope I manage to find a new solution as soon as posible for all if you guys!!!

How is bootloader state protected against physical tampering in Google Pixel

We are not doing physical atack, so that is not a problem for us.
Also, I don't believe the pixel 4 XL is perfect, for sure there are errors and security vulnerabilities. We just need to find them.

Question Help about flashing Oxygen OS to Chinese Oneplus 10 Pro

I know that there are so many threads about this, but in every thread everyone is talking different.
I want to just know, which is the tested method to flash European ROM to Chinese phone?
I also dont have a proper link for european rom ( I have seen some people flashing Indian rom and what is difference between indian and european?)
So lads please help me, I dont want to brick my phone, because there are no OP support team near my country. So it would be a garbage.

By personal experience, don't do that.
My phone is just bricked from just trying to flash the same rom again.
I've always did on my htc, xiaomi, samsung and many others and OnePLus 10 pro was the first one to give me problem. If you get in a state that you need to run fastboot flashing unlock_critical and for some reason your device reset then it's dead with no chance to recover.
There is no tool available to us that can recover from that. The phone don't turn on screen, it's not recognized by the computer and even on the charger it just don't turn on. So completely dead.
The best way is to just buy the model NE2213, that comes with a global rom.

It is too late, cause I have bought chinese version and waiting to delivery.
Also there is no chance me to leave this ColorOS. So I will somehow flash or sell this phone

Yes I have seen this and much more posts about flashing.
Someone was lucky and made it, someone was not lucky and bricked phone...
Wish i have seen these failures before I buy phone

Get Fastboot Enhanced & files needed to access adb/fastboot from computer. Unlock Bootloader. Download the OOS ROM you want then extract the file you need for Fastboot Enhanced. Make sure no cow files exist on device with Fastboot Enhanced and then if all checks out you flash.
I've kept this very vague because like you've mentioned there are a few different tutorials explaining (including mine here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lobal-rom-region-change.4462591/post-87151395) but the basic steps I quickly explained should exist in them all. You'll just need to find one you can follow that makes the most sense to you!
I personally used NE2213 on my device that I converted from NE2210 and am using that device to reply to this thread. I am in Canada and this is Chinese Model OP10 Pro and all works fine on my end. Hopefully you can accomplish the same for yourself if this is your intention.

If you can make sense of all the steps then go for it lol. My tutorial is more of a gathering of others work put together in a way that I hoped others could follow. I didn't want to re re re make another tutorial from scratch as your already seeing how confusing and inconsistent having so many guides can be!
I typically use Oxygen Updater on the PlayStore. Then in settings I'll do this (check photo). Then go back to the first page of application and you should see a download option (also check photo). Once you've downloaded the file just transfer it to the computer and you should be good to go. This is usually how I get the files...

Thanks so much, You made a great job lad.
Will try when I get a phone and I will let you know how it goes.

Just remember to keep reading over everything while you wait for your phone. Make sure to check everything over and over and just read all the threads here on XDA to get an understanding for what everyone else has done (the good and the bad) to ensure you yourself don't make any mistakes when the time comes.
I have the Chinese Model also and don't even understand one word let alone writing in the language but this is the phone I got and I gotta make it work so I can relate to your situation with buying it already and it being too late to change your mind lol.

my mind is blowing, everyday reading so much failures and bricked phones thats not good for mental health.
planned to go with your guide step by step and pray same time, maybe that helps lol
