Hello everyone, just get frustrated right now my brand new 5X Half-Bricked after trying to flash stock fastboot firmware of the A1 through EDL with mi flash. just over excited of this devices, as i'm not a new one on this stuff and things, so that i ignoring some post said that the mi A1 rom won't run/boot compatible with 5X. (some interesting post right here about 3 Variants Hacked Bootloader http://en.miui.com/thread-840402-1-1.html)
I put whole things needed togather (fastboot firmware of A1, and Mi5X, also Twrp and some of unbrick zip from the thread above) so i was thinking when everythings gone crazy and bad i just need to reverting back to stock fastboot firmware of MI5X and everything works fine.
i do backup my QCN file so the worst thing i losted the imei and baseband i just need to restore that backup. Then i start the stupid things with proud.
flashing the Mi A1 sucessfully without any error on mi-flash then power it on boom, as i predicted it won't be as easier and simple as that step. some error text appeared on my screen some related to bootloader things, okay i just go into fastboot and unlocking with type "fastboot oem unlock" done with success and thats also said in terminal. okay then i rebooted (no panic at all), so the warning text still, then appeared your system has been destroyed, okay than i put the mi A1 recovery and flashing that through the fastboot, its said error no such partitions "recovery"??? (bit panic here) but trying to type "fastboot boot tissot.img" (tissot the codename of A1) its boot and send me into recovery, flashing some A1 rom for 5X from xda still won't boot at all (start panic here ).
so everything i try here flashing stock miui also won;t even boot and see the homescreen. I give up and OK i just need to flash the stock 5X through EDL, rebooting to edl and then flashing the stock 5X and success flashing done without any error, so i rebooted but its only stuck at MI logo then restart itself (really PANIC), so i get into recovery (stock MIUI) and mybe wiping whole data and cache will help, but there's no changes still restart/rebooting itself , okay i need to flash again this time i downloding Develover versions, and put the devices into edl through test point this time (as now the bootloader are relocked after flashing the stock one).
after flasing done the device still won't even boot at all just stuck at MI logo, now i really need help anyone any advices will really help, thanks

I think you should not unlock the bootloader using the command fast boot OEM unlock,you should go to http://en.miui.com/unlock/ here and download the app to unlock it, and when you flash a new rom which is not miui,you must keep it unlock,do not fastboot OEM lock,that will cause it can not go into system and stuck in logo

Nope, that's the basic things and i really know how it works, As for now i''ve no ways to go / reach the homescreen at all, so i can't put my mi account in setting and linked the device into my acccount, its useless using the miunlock tools. And i can only do that commands right after i converted mine to A1 firmwares.
hi, finally, i know what problem you met, because i have met the same problem, the solution is ,you go to the fastboot ,first unlock the devices, then fastboot reboot,then you find you go to the system, then you go back to fastboot,and last ,you need to use the miflash to flash the rom,and it should work fine now,it seem when you are locked,the miflash can not really work
Last news, damn lucky bastard i'am got replaced units, lets see does we'll have some aosp goodies soon..

Use the mi unlock tool ,you can only unlock the phone when you are in fastboot mode,,turn off the phone,press the power and volume down bottom simultaneously,and you will be in fastboot mode
On Saturday appeared an OTA update to do on my mi A2 but after installed and restarting it died. It does not enter recovery mode and the screen is always on with android one bootscreen logo.
PS: I never flash the phone and i never change anyting in the system of the phone.
The only response that i have in the phone is enter in it Fastboot menu. I read some threads and untill now i cant fix my phone.
I will try to explain what i do:
I've tried using this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585.
I try option 3 (Unbrick/Revert to Stock/Force update and the program tell me to unlock the bootloader.
When i tried to unlock bootloader by option 1 and then 1, 2 and 3 ( Unlock flashing critical, unlock OEM , unlock flashing ) the programs says: Failed Unlock is not allowed.
Then i try the response 9 to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/impossible-flashing-xiaomi-mi-a2-t3837565 to try unlocked the bootloader
But i have the same response ( Flashing Unlock is not allowed )
I read and i try but i cant unbrick my phone, someone can help?? Thanks
We are in the same boat buddy, the same thing happened to the phone of my wife.
It *sounds* like the update failed, and normally that would mean it would switch the slot back to the one that was working and boot that.
But you've tried a bunch of options from some tool, I've no idea what it did, as the tool doesn't tell you what commands it's doing.
I'd suggest to go to fastboot and see if you can tell which slot is active, then switch it to the other slot, then do fastboot reboot and cross your fingers
I have the same problem (for other reasons, but exactly the same problem). You can also try "fastboot oem edl", but it did not work for me, so I suppose you have little chance for it to work.
I have been searching and it looks like there are some "deep flash cables" that can make the phone enter edl mode to flash it using mi flash tool. Maybe these could work for us. There is apparently other way to enter edl mode, but it requires opening the phone (that I do not want to do) to short two test points.
I cant enter revorymode only fastboot mode. But when in fastbootmode my connected pc cant even find the phone. Im going to return the phone.
I have the same problem, I have this edl cable but so far no luck.
Do not realy k Ow how to use.
Are you sure it was the OTA update that bricked your phone? That Treble system isn't just there for the kicks, its there to prevent serious issues like these.
I'm stucked on fastboot, I don't want to open my phone. Could anyone help us? I already tried a lot of things, my computer doesn't recognize my mobile when is on fastboot mode. I already tried to install a lot of drivers or try to use differents adbs.
I have a xiaomi mi a2 device which had bootloop all the time. I was not able to get into device at all. So in other words oem unlock and usb debugg was not active at all. I tried so many times to get into the phone just to activate those. Now since some other phones doesnt really need those to flash because they use different kind of flashing i asumed i wouldnt need those.
when i tried to flash using adb sideload which was available it couldnt flash it went to 47% and then it just failed or stopped with some message and 1.00x at the end. I did try couple of times without any luck. I was never awared that thus phone had project treble rom wich in turn have 2 partitions. I acted on impuls. Then i tried fastboot commands with error about failed not able to flash restriction. Then i found that you could flash using emergency download mode which is in my mind something lg has with shorting the pins. There you dont have any issues because emergency download mode in lg dont require any permission or any problem for you to make your degice alive again. You could do that how often you will.
now i assumed it was the same with mi a2 that it would write rom the same but automatically because in lg you need to flash particular files in order to make that method work. I did flash mi a2 in edl and it did flash but the result was catastrophic. I got message about some partition something while flashing was a success. Then i thought how can edl fail even if oem is locked. It shouldnt work like that. Then i tried and tried to unlick bootloader through fastboot but its impossible. From start it was impossible to activate those settings. Then now i figure it out that it must do something with project treble and those 2 partitions. Is there any way to make this phone alive again?? Is there any way to flash partitions and partitions table manually
P. S I flashed it with what i thought was the anwser about my problem. I flashed it with mi x6 recovery rom from xda which made whole situation worse. Now i dont even have adb option nor do i have option to roll back to stock.
Just for comparison, in google pixel phone you dont even need unlocked bootloader or anything for that matter to flash pixel phone as long the rom is stock rom. Adb sideload works flawlessly
Any help is appreciated
Hi guys, it's my first post. I have my MI A2 bricked after the last update. It's stuck at android logo and I can access only fastboot, no adb. Via fastboot I tried to wipe the phone, install TWRP, unlock the bootloader, but the answer is always I cant flash or do anything with a locked phone. What can I do? Is it possible to save data?
With locked bootloader and critical all your attempts to flash anything via fastboot could not succed, unless .you have previously got developer rights and checked "OEM unlock" option. With this option ON, and using USB 2.x port, you could unlock bootloader and critical via fastboot, but have no ways to save data (which is erased with unlocking as with factory reset).
Try to reboot many times with external power off and on, phone is supposed to boot into now inactive A/B slot (which was active prior to OTA) sooner or later, then you can save data and unlock.
If nothing helps, you'll have to open case, connect "[email protected] (or EDL) pins and then flash stock ROM with MiFlash, and then unlock and reflash with fastboot.
I have my friends Xiaomi mi 8. It keeps freezing on the miui screen when booting up. It simply won't boot up. The bootloader is locked and I've tried everything. I've tried flashing new firmware via fastboot I've tried flashing twrp and orange fox I've even tried tried flashing pixel experience but the bootloader doesn't allow it. I've downloaded the XiaoMitool v2 and mi flash tool but nothing is working. When I boot to recovery and try to wipe data it just gives an error saying it's failed. I tried using the edl boot bat file and when it reboots to edl it just restarts and freezes on miui. ive tried edl from the back pins on the phone but the computer isnt recognising it and ive got the qualcom drivers installed but still no luck. Also when I try flashing miui fastboot firmware the program gives an error saying something about the flash script. Is there anything I can do to fix it or to atleast unlock the bootloader remotely without the need of the phone being turned on? ive heard of the msm tool but i coulnt find anything for the mi 8 only oneplus. Any help is appreciated thanks!
