Hi guys,
I have just read a previous post from "abdulmaalik1tt" about a problem after an accidental bootloader closing. I have a similar problem but in my case, I think it is harder.
I intentionally closed the bootloader after installing everything in my K20 Pro, but I didn't know that if it is closed by other one than the one who opened it, the phone will brick.
I tried to unlock again, but in 99% the app gives me an error, and ask me to change something in developer options. Obviously, I can't do so, because the phone doesn't boot.
I tried to use miflash but it gives me an error because the bootloader is now closed
Is there a way to unbrick my phone? Should I throw it away through the window?
Thank you in advance.
same case, you open the back, do test point method, if you Mi account is not EDL authorized, you can borrow, or call the guys that help many k20 pro user in XDA.
please help
do you get any solution to this case? i have the same issue.
I had the same problem. Sadly the only thing you can do yourself (it's also the fastest and cheapest option) is to open your smartphone, short the two EDL points on the motherboard to access the EDL mode, contact someone with an authorized Xiaomi account to input his username and password in the Mi Unlock tool (through Teamviewer) and enable you to install the stock Chinese firmware.
The only other option, sadly, which I didn't like at all, is to send it to a Xiaomi service point.
And all of this because the default option in the Mi Flash tool is "install and LOCK". Idiotic.
PM me if you need the contact of the guy with the authorized acc.
if you can boot in fastboot try unlock bootloader with miflash unlock but old version it work for me later unlock bootloader you can flash stock with miflash again
I am in same boat - fake global rom, flashed forgetting to set to Clean all only - so bootloader locked.
Seller is no reachable - so looks like this is my only way.
When you guys say 'short' these two pins - how did you do that? with a paperclip? and you mean from one pin to the other pin?
--Update for future reference of others---
My K20 Pro has been restored with help from the Russian contact provided on previous page - ask nicely, he is very busy so don't waste his time.
My experience was great, he was patient, we made appointment time over whatsapp, we have to try twice as i couldn't get into EDL mode (try a different pair of scissors or tweezers).
Once in EDL he logged into his mi account via my team viewer session and flashed the rom i has prepared (chinese original fastboot).
Right after flashing - had a bit of trouble booting up the first time, it didn't boot when pressing the power button (no usb cable), when i plug in USB cable - it showed 100% battery but also didn't boot. Had to play with disconnect then reconnect the battery THEN unplug cable. And it finally booted the first time.
Thank you guys!

I ended up blocking the bootloader accidentally giving my k20 pro when changing the rom, but when passing the rom by edl, the device does not turn on in any way, when passing the Chinese rom I have to block the bootloader?
Worth Checking out he thread, maybe older mi unlock can remove the bootloader flag for you ? cheers

K20pro brick
Hi. Can someone help me to create an authorized edl account. Is there anyone who can lend me. I have a k20pro mobile that is completely turned off and I need an authorized account to blink. Send a message. +
I am a long time user of Xiaomi devices, and have rooted every one I have. I recently purchased the Redmi Note 9 for my girlfriend and intended to root and block ads etc. I am quite proficient with rooting processes and the tools needed to make that work.
I could find a working TWRP for the phone, and used ADB and Fastboot to program this. However, it seems the MTK Helio G85 is a bit more tricky than a Qualcomm based device. So I basically failed to get root working. In the end through a late night error I managed to delete the Boot.img of the device leading to the dreaded 'hard brick'. I have read on the Forum others who have the same symptoms - basically boot loop, no access to Recovery or to Fastboot. Bad luck my friends this is a Service Centre repair.
So I took to Googling on the issue and found a Russian who advertised a Service Centre repair service but over TeamViewer. This was advertised at US$29 for a fix. Why could he do it? Well he has the Service Centre auth codes needed to do a full recovery of the phone. So taking pot luck I sent my US$29 and they did exactly what they promised. Accessed my PC remotely worked with me to get the correct files set up, and then loaded up their authorised service build on my PC and re-programmed the bricked device. After a 2 hour re-charge (best to do this reset with no battery power) I performed the 3 button re-set and the phone came back to life. Never left my house, and the phone re-booted with a full build of MIUI.
I am not sure if the mods allow me to provide their details, so I in order to keep my XDA status OK I'll ask you to PM me if you need the details.
Saved my phone, and to be honest was worth the cash for the no hassle repair. I am not in a Service Centre area, and this quick reliable fix was great. Took a risk, but the provider is genuine and authorised repair agent. Their English was great, instructions clear, and all the hard work they do remotely on your PC. I scanned for viruses after the session - was all clean.
If you get in a fix, this is a good reliable and convenient solution.

Maybe this is kind a ethical question. I don't consider its ok to pay someone to be able to flash your device, specially if you have to send money to some anonymous russian guy and hopping you are not getting scamed. Clearly its not a comfortable method and it shouldn`t be that way.
If I ever need that service I would use it just to record username and password with a keylogger and post it freely, its ridiculous to pay for flashing your phone.

If you actually hard brick your device (mine shipped from China direct) you have a lot of hassle to get it fixed. If you don't have a service centre nearby, double the hassle and significant costs / risks to ship overseas. Sat at home, someone with the skills and the important EDL keys (i.e. registered repairer with Xiaomi) could fix the device. Mine was an unlocked phone, therefore technically I had removed the warranty. $29 to flash a bricked device and fully recover from my ****-up. OK value for me.
Hello, could you show me how to do it?
If you got bootloop after flashed magisk, you need to flash stock rom boot.img.
For removing modules, you have two methods.
For first method, you need to boot in emergency mode, open magisk manager, remove module and reboot.
(It works only with magisk +v21.)
(To boot in emergency mode, keep pressed volume down after boot starts.)
For second method, you need to flash the original stock boot.img, open magisk manager, remove module, reboot and then flash the magisk patched boot.img again.
If you are using V12.0.5.0 or higher, TWRP will not work.
Here, you can find boot images for original stock and magisk patched: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4204671/
If you want to keep TWRP working on V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need to flash the stock rom lk partition using V12.0.4.0 (or lower). (It will works perfectly with lower lk partition version).
Here, are LK images for flashing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4218925/
If you want to disable TWRP, you need to flash stock rom recovery partition.
Here, are RECOVERY images for flashing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4204671/
If your device keep booting in recovery (or blackscreen), you need to erase misc partition.
Here, is the guide for erasing MISC partition: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4209299/

Paid solutions are no longer needed. Redmi Note 9 factory firmware is out, so you can unbrick your phone, even if it's hardbricked, without authorised account.

If you are on MIUI V12.0.5.0 or higher, you can NOT flash without authorised account using flash tool.
You really need the EDL auth if you are on MIUI V12.0.5.0 or higher.
I think I finally destroyed my cell phone. I tried to install the Chinese version firmware on my Mi 9T Pro Global and it's on a Hard Brick: It doesn't turn on fastboot or recovery. Opening the phone, I managed to connect to EDL to try to recover by Mi Flash and only the error "Can not read from port com" appears and I've tried everything! I tried several different ROMS, changed the Firehose file that prevents unauthorized accounts by MI Auth, changed Mi Flash versions, installed all necessary drivers several times, changed the USB port to 2.0 and 3.0 and nothing happened. I also tried alternative programs like Qualcomm's QPST/QFIL, and also a Virtual Box. I just found a thread that taught a method where I would have to pay 15 dollars to recover the phone, but what if I hard brick it again , I'll always have to pay 15 dollars to retrieve the cell phone, and I can't do that, not to mention that I don't even know if this method would work. Holy s*** I don't think I've ever been so desperate hahahaha has anyone retrieved any Mi 9T Pro through EDL, or at least knows how to solve this port COM problem?

Paying someone is the only way to make EDL work these days.
Also ensure your cable works. My port didn't seem to work with any Xiaomi cables for data, however it fortunately worked with a magnetic end charging cable as my port is presumably a tad damaged.
You will get your money back with the guy I did it with if it doesn't work.
So touching those pins are the only way you can get any sort of output to the screen?
[Edit]
The price of a new motherboard is really expensive. I'd probably rule that out.
Also if you can get to download mode in any way, I'd use Linux. I've not managered to get ADB working on Windows this year. However Linux has been fine. EDL flashing worked in Windows for me.

My cable seems to be working as it charges my mom's cell phone, and the PC also recognizes the EDL, though I haven't tried using other cables.
Yes, Test Point is the only answer the phone gives me that it's still alive, as the PC recognizes the EDL, even though the phone doesn't turn on the screen (it doesn't even vibrate when I hold the power button or try to turn it on on the fastboot/recovery)
If it's a motherboard problem, I'll follow your advice and buy another cell phone, it wouldn't be worth it to just send it for assistance and pay a fortune
Finally, I don't have access to any linux unfortunately, but I was also having problems with ADB, and that's exactly why I accidentally installed Chinese Firmware lol
Mine got all the way up to the flashing point and it failed until I changed cable. Just because it charges, doesn't mean it'll work for data.
And you've tried vol up + hold power? And try detach the battery so it's definitely off of EDL.
I mean a motherboard will fix it, but that's just to replace your emmc memory. But you're better off trying the EDL pay service regardless.
What do you mean you don't have access to Linux? It's free and one doesn't need to install it to boot into it.
After you recover to an ancient Chinese rom through EDL, one still needs to unlock the bootloader to go back to something better like Miui.eu.

About the cable I didn't know it could be detected by the pc and at the same time not being able to transfer data, thanks! I will try to change the cable in the next attempts
Yes, I tried to hold the volume and power, but nothing happened. I also tried it with the battery ribbon cable plugged in and unplugged, but both didn't work either.
I don't know anything about PC OS hahaha mb, for me installing linux in my pc, would be like installing IOS on a Samsung. So I think I have access to Linux
About the bootloader I don't think I'll have any problems, I've already unlocked the phone, rooted it and changed the ROM to an AOSP-based one
Oh, and forgot to say: a friend also hard bricked his Mi 8 Lite and retrieved it via EDL. He said that the problem I'm having, he was also, and he only managed to solve it after downloading the rom and files of a guy here in Brazil, but unfortunately on the site he didn't have the Mi 9T Pro files He said he changed firehose, persist, patch0 and rawprogram0 (all files present in the images folder of ROM) and it worked! Mi Auth was bypassed and the system came out of the brick.
hi guys i have k20 pro raphaelin and yesterday i was downgrade from 12.5.1 to 12.0.5 and in the middle of flashing rom the power is off and right now my phone totally dead no fast boot no recovery dead is there any help ?

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 ))))))))))))))))))

Don't know what did you do, but now you will probably need somebody with authorized EDL account (and to pay him) or you will need to use the firehose file and method
In both cases you need to search on XDA about. Here and there people hard brick their Xiaomi phones and you can find posts about. In any case I can't help you, never bricked my phone
Paying support is prohibited on XDA, hence you will better need to seek for authorized EDL accounts on Telegram and similar groups
