The app works just fine... Also why are you trying to use a Xiaomi flash tool on an Asus device?
Get out of EDL mode with vol- vol+ power all three together.

Have you tried doing the process with the correct drivers installed? (I have not done this method, but it could be driver related) See here for drivers
EDIT: at the bottom of your EDL thread it does state you need the Qualcom drivers installed, not sure if they're the same as the ones i linked to, but the ones in that thread are here
Also, this post may be of some use to you, might wanna read the rest of the thread too for tips...
'I read somewhere that you must start the EDL unlocking process as soon as you run the fastboot command to boot it into EDL mode. It wouldn't run correctly for me at first, but then I rebooted into fastboot, ran the enter dload command, then immediately ran the unlocker (or if it fails because your device hasn't entered EDL mode just yet, keep spamming it).
I have no idea why that's the case but it worked for me.'

[HELP] Mi6x HARD bricked?

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 .....
look below

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

Xiaomi 6x not starting

Hi everyone. I tried to install a global Rom and magisk to Xiaomi 6x twrp mode. After installing and pressing boot to system the phone won't boot. It stays black. Cant go to fastboot mode and recovery mode. When i plug in the cell to PC it makes a noise and to device manager shows the cell. But i see nothing on the screen. I think i have bricked my Xiaomi.

My mi 9t pro wont turn on again because just flash with official rom i use edl but always say you are not authorized after that i found firehose but it always give me error and i found mi flash pro that he can give you authorization but i am getting error 'root elements missing' anyone can help me please

Question [Solved]Need patched firehose to fix my hard-bricked Redmi 9T

Hi.
i hard-bricked my Redmi 9T while trying to flash a custom rom
i cant boot into recovery or fastboot, i only see "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in the device manager when i connect the phone
when i try to flash the stock rom using MiFlash i get an error saying my account is unauthorized
i googled it and apparently what i need is a patched firehose file to bypass this authorization check, or get someone with an authorized account to help
i searched a lot but never found a patched firehose that works for my phone
if someone can give me some directions as to where i can find this file or how to patch the original myself, that would be great
Thanks!
Edit:
I ended up paying a russian guy to help me flash with an authorized account
he is MOD EDIT: Content Removed if anyone is wondering
i also contacted the guy.. didn't avail his services
but he passed my scam mockup.. he is legit..
Just buy Miracle Xiaomi Tool Login Edition and flash all rawprogram xml in edl (9008) mode

hmmm...i dont own thhis device but i think u can try this way by miflash
First of all, ur device have to have the BL unlocked. Maybe also 9008 works.
download the stock ROM from here
remember to scroll down and download the .tgz file
after it finished, extract it
and open miflash (recommend version)
select to the folder u just extracted, and refresh (f in fastboot with BL unlocked, it shows ur device number; if in 9008, it shows as COM port.)
choose erase all (don't lock)
then just press flash
Hi, If you entered the engineering firmware mode (EDL) and can not flash the phone without a service account:
1. Download the firmware from here ENGINEERING ROM
2. Check that the device would be defined as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the device manager when connect the phone
3. Firmware using MiFlash engineering rom from paragraph 1
4. Loading to engineering rom
5. Overload to Fastboot mode
6. We flash the rom you need through Miflash

this method will damage imei ,best way is to find the No auth firehorse and replace it with the one inside firmware folder,then use miflash
I found a thread where he made a firehose programmer for this device.
