(Before, sorry for my bad english, I'm French..)
I've receive my Razr i xt890 yesterday and today I have unlock the bootloader.
I've make this tuto : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551
Everything happen very good, my bootloader is unlock but when my phone reboot it'll go to fastboot over and over again.
In fastboot, I can see :
"AP fastboot flash moide (secure boot)
20.00 (sha - oba4DF3)
IFWI info
eMMC info
battery (okay)
connect USB data Cable
ROM-key : motorola -key
Boot mode selection menu:
- normale powerup
- recovery
- factory
- BP tools
- switch console [default: null]
- power of "
And, it's written in yellow :
" fastboot reason : flash failure
fastboot : max download size: 100MB "
In addition, the vol down button work for scroll, but the vol up button doesn't work, so, I can't select boot mode selection..
Is there a solution please?
Maybe Rsdlite can be use to flash?
Help me please. :crying:
Since your Bootloader is unlocked, try the homemade Fastboots.
But only if you're sure that it is unlocked. I got no i, but these Fastboots saved already 2 Phones in Germany (I know of these 2 Phones, maybe there're more)
Thanks. Yes it's unlock because when I boot the phone, it's written "unlock" on the Motorola logo.
But what kind of fastboot can I take?
I guess it depends on what your RazR i was before. If it was EU, then grap EU, if GB then GB.
Actually you can Flash all of them, if I'm right. But I would recommend an Fastboot of your Region... Like I said, I got no i, so I can't test anything. I just own the regular RazR to Crackflash
It was on ICS EU.
Sorry but I don't know what is a "faastboot of my region"? ^^
Thanks

In the thread download any fastboot from under the heading Retail EU
Follow the steps properly and u will be good to go
To fix Flash Failure on any phone, flash something that will work. If its a Battery Low fastboot issue and you cannot charge... you will need a factory-style cable or adapter or you can make one.
See my Home-made fastboot and pick any firmware. They will all work on an unlocked phone.
Thank u so much, It works succefully
I've just reinstal the fastboot and my phone will reborn !
Congrate u fix up. May i know the detail of commands of fastboot issue step by step after On phone on Fastboot mode? & what file size below 100MB u select.Thks.
Help me, please.

Flash anything to fix it. Take the razr_i_boot.img and run it through cmd.
Code:
fastboot flash boot razr_i_boot.img
If it fails it will tell you an error. (Might be Battery Low). Since you can't charge in battery low you would need a special cable or a cable adapter to flash without battery.
Team Black Hat sells the factory-style adapters I highly recommend one.

How to charge it is said in the post you quoted: You need a factory-style usb cable.
With the help of that you can flash the homemade fastboot, and then you can charge the phone with your normal usb cable.
I need help!

Please!
I have the same problem...
I tried to root without unlock the bootloader and now I got a brick.
After, I tried use the Recovery to Wipe all, but it froze in fastboot menu.
Dont enter in the Recovery and I cant flash anything with RSD LITE it give me an error:
Failed flashing process. 1/9 flash "gpt_singned" -> USB error ocurred while reading/writing.
And after I tried to do it:
Flash anything to fix it. Take the razr_i_boot.img and run it through cmd.
Code:
fastboot flash boot razr_i_boot.img
If it fails it will tell you an error. (Might be Battery Low). Since you can't charge in battery low you would need a special cable or a cable adapter to flash without battery.
Team Black Hat sells the factory-style adapters I highly recommend one.
And I got a error too.
I dont know what I can do, and it stay froze in the fastboot menu.
If it uncharge I will can recharge the batery in the fastboot and flash the firmware in the fastboot?
Thanks
Have you put the fastboot files on your desktop?
Put your boot.img on your desktop with the 3 files of fastboot(adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll and eprj–mfastboot.exe).
Open a terminal, write:
"cd desktop"
and after:
"fastboot flash boot razr_i_boot.img"
And if it's don't work again try an other boot.img.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933308
( download the fastboot files retail en UE and take only the file "boot.img", it's works fine for me so maybe it will be the same for you)
If you try with " boot.img" file, in the cmd write only:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Hi everyone,i have purchased xiaomi mi5 from AliExpress and i told the seller to not open the box,and thats what he did,he didnt open the box,so the phone came with stock Chinese stable miui 7.something,and when i updated,it updated directly to miui 8.1,no updated in between, straight to miui 8.1,but i want to install the global stable rom,the bootloader is locked,i have requested to unlock it but so far no news,i tried to boot in edl mode by holding the vol up,vol down and power and cable in at the same time and it boots in some mode but idk if its edl,as far as i know edl mode is with black screen with "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" on the pc com ports,but in my case there is no such thing,and there is black and white phone with usb connect on the phone screen,but nothing on the pc,do i have problems with drivers or i dont enter edl at all ? and do any of you guys now any other method to install the global rom except the other one with the engineering cable ?, I really need your help guys please help me if you can,thank you in advance and have a great day
I've successfully updated my mi5 to global stable using the updater app even my bootloader is locked..however, when I got my mi5 2weeks it's on miui 8 global beta(dev rom) not chinese. Not sure if it will work on your device. Here's what I did:
1. Download global stable from xiaomi's official page
2. Reset the phone. (Settings > Additional settings > Back up & reset)
3. Transfer the zip file to phone (doesn't matter which directory)
4. Connect to a strong internet connection (this is important to verify the update package)
5. Open updater app, tap menu (upper right corner) then tap choose update package
6. Locate zip file and it will proceed with decryption process
Note: You need to be connected to a strong internet connection all through out the process or the verification and decryption will fail and get "can't verify update" error
Hope this helps. ?

I will try first what you tell me,if that doesn't work than i will try installing global beta if that works than global stable,thank you very much
No i didnt work with both beta and stable,now i will try to flash Chinese beta and after that i will try to install global beta or stable,i hope that works because i am out of ideas.
Screenshots:
Nope,nothing it didnt work unable to install global rom stable or beta,looks like i will wait for the bootloader unlock if any message comes at all i just hope they will let me unlock it,they definitely need to change the way bootloader is unlocked.
Coz you'r phone still has miui 7 (don't know in miui 8 coz never try it)..so i think you can try go into edl mode by adb command while in home screen.. "adb reboot edl" (don't forget to activate usb debugging in developer option first)

You don't need cutting you original cable..you can buy it like this one in aliexpress here , this already has converter too for usb type C
Sorry..i don't realize that fastboot oem edl just for unlocked bootloader..coz mine already unlocked, but i have some another way before you using deep flash cable to go into edl mode..but i can't testing it..coz mine already unlocked.
- I've read your first post about using hardware key to go into edl mode by pressing and hold vol up + vol down +(you said you're pressing power too, i think in this step you're wrong) then connect the usb cable..what i know..the right instruction is , pressing and hold vol up and down at the same time (without pressing power button)..then connect it via usb cable to your pc..then you can see in your device manager that success detecting as qualcom or not.
- In xiaomi redmi note 3 device you can go into edl mode through fastboot mode with command "fastboot reboot-edl", but this command only can apply with minimal adb that are already modified, you can download it from here
Are you sure @vlatko98 that your request to open bootloader is not granted? I made the request, waited for SMS for two weeks but nothing... So i navigated again to en.miui.com/unlock, logged in and I was able to download the mi unlock app. And the unlocking process was successfull.
If you havent, check if you can download unlock app and try to unlock your device with it.
How long ago have you made your request for unlock?

Sorry i didnt mention that i have tried with the vol buttons only as well,it didnt work,the phone boot up to recovery,same as holding the power button,soon i am trying with costume deep flash cable,there is no need to cut anything just to shourt ground and data from the usb connector that connects to the pc,i just dont understand why xiaomi if it plans to make global rom why not make it simple to change it,why users have to figure things out,we buy a phone to use it not to experiment with it,you hear me xiaomi ?
btw thx for helping me out.

If you already received sms that unlock already granted from xiaomi..there's another problem that sometimes your account not already correctly sync with xiaomi server..even already sync correctly still can't unlock flawlessly..
You can try following step and trying to unlock again and again..but just this time..just trying every day..if this day doesn't success too you can try it again tomorrow.
To make sure and minimize that everything is correctly:
- Make sure you're already at the latest china developer / beta rom..
- Enabling find device status at mi cloud in your phone..also just try login at i.mi.com (just this time try login with your acct number id) and activate find device too to make sure everything is sync correctly.
- Activate usb debugging and unlock in developer option in your phone..
- Trying unlock again with mi unlock..just this time try login with your acct number id too.
Hope it's help..and your phone can soon unlocked..

i tried all you tell me,mi unlock still says “your device is not supported by mi unlock” but i dont understand why i was able to make another request at mi unlock website,like the first time i did that,i requested again 2 days ago,i will see what will happen now.
I received another SMS and unlocked the bootloader successfully and I installed global stable ROM, thanks for helping guys )))
Hi Community,
I'm a little bit "scared" to ask for the following, but I have read a lot about it and I'm just getting more confused, so I hope someone can bring clarity.
Situation looks like this: I will unpack my Mi Mix 256gb EU-version this evening and I want to put Resurection Remix on it. Now, what steps do I need to follow to get this done? I know the steps of each process is written in the related post, but how does it play together?
I understood that I need TWRP (to add and remove roms, right?) and then install the rom on top of it. Also, is it then rooted? flashed? unlocked? If I would want the original software on it again, is it possible to install it without leaving marks of the rom?
What confuses me also is, that I somehow have to unlock something through the xiaomi page and wait a few days?
Thank you in advance and best regards from Switzerland!
Everything you need to know is in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/how-to/guide-flash-global-china-rom-root-gapps-t3510592
Dont forget to decrypt your phone after you unlock your bootloader.
First you have to unlock your bootloader in order to flash recovery or fastboot rom. I will add all the links you need in order , so that you can access them fast and without problems.
For unlocking your bootloader first login into your Mi Account on your Mix , after this is done , go to unlock site (en.miui.com/unlock) and apply for unlock permissions ( Remember to use the same account you logged into your device if not you won´t be able to unlock it).Remember too to enable Developer Settings and allow Usb Debugging.
Afer this is done download and find this on google (xda adb drivers) and if you have windows its super -easy to set it up ( Remember to execute the batch file with admin privileges)
Once this is done if you still have adb problems just google and install universal adb driver, I will give you all the links at the end.
After all this and you have received approbation from Xiaomi to unlock and got the code , just plug-in your phone to your computer and enter fastboot mode ( Volume down+power buttons at the same time).
Open Mi Unlock program and enter the same account you used for unlock permissions and your device. After this is done wait for the unlock process to finish and click reboot.
Once you have rebooted your device download twrp , put it into adb folder (C://Adb) and with your device plugged-in type next : adb fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or the name of your twrp.img , or just change it to twrp).
If you followed all the steps you should have twrp working and ready to flash any rom without problems. If you need more help just answer or send pm . Good luck and happy flashing.

Hey Thanks for the quick reply. I think this will help alot. So far I'm stuck at the first stage :silly: Did not receive an SMS even after 10 minutes. With the second click I received it but my IP is now blocked. Starts good
I can't even get it to reboot into recovery, it now freezes at the screen that prompts you to go to pcsuite!

Do you mean fastboot, have you installed a recovery? We don't know how far you have got. Power and vol- for fastboot. When mi logo appears let go of power button but keep vol- pressed till you see fastboot screen.

doesn't work, I had to go this route:
http://en.miui.com/thread-500625-1-1.html
and to threadstarter: if you are not in China, you don't have to do the unlock request. If you're on EU rom already, you're unlocked. Just use the thread I posted, it is much, much easier.
You have to use the version in the thread I linked (official MIUI forum) or you'll get a TWRP where the touchscreen doesn't work and you can't confirm

Things have changed, most people did this a year ago when there was no EU ROM, just China ROM and vendor ROM, most came with bootloader unlocked, which is the first thing you should of checked. The fact you have EU ROM would normally mean that bootloader has been unlocked but sometimes they re-lock the device.

Yeah... so that's what I meant. Even more confused now. My phone is definitely locked (checked with bootloader) and after I tried to apply again after 24 hours the weird chinese message pops up again and the application fails.

Did you check using fastboot if your already unlocked,
fastboot OEM device-info
Assuming you have your pc set up which is the guides section.

Factory reset? It can't be broken, careful you don't kill it completely. Did you use the correct tool from miui.eu?

Just a quick follow up:
I waited 59 hours and now I could successfully unlock the phone. Will proceed now with TWRP. Yey.
Hey guys,
I have recentley purchased a used Lenovo ZUK Z2 PRO from someone on Ebay, Later I found out that the original rom of this phone only supports English (mixed with chinese) and Chinese language, the whole Software looks too Iphoney for my taste so I rather have clean Stock android, prefferbly 7.1 8.0 or 8.1 as long as its stable and doesnt drain the battery too much, will someone be kind enough to help me out step by step? prefferbly via KIK messenger or something?
I've downloaded root checker to see if the phone has been rooted already it says root access is not properly installed on this device? see image below.

Hi, you have unlock bootloader . Maybe you have twrp . Just restart your phone and when you see start menu , press volume button and choose recovery . If you have twrp , just read Aex or RR threads , how to install the latest roms . It is bit difficult because of treble project . There are all informations about "how to install"

It isn't available in Zui 3.1 . You needn't unlock bootloader . When you restart your phone and see menu start ( for 5 sec ) use vol button to choose fastboot or recovery . Check it , maybe you have already had a Twrp .

In that case you have two ways to unlock bootloder
1. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rqcY7WyYi6AN9MyfUqVWwm1CMCe7Tbmv/view
2. put this file in your phone and rename it to update
https://mega.nz/#!lgxXCBpA!4OlvXDYaeof__h8TPHwXDUUKAijP-qn8lHgfOdVPBfw
run update app tap three dots at right upper edge and choose recovery . In recovery choose english and update
After that you get oem unlock in developer options .

for the 1st method the instructions aren't very clear, i see not 1 but different recovery images where can i get both? do i need both? and where can i get the txt file with all the commands? and the video ends at the 3rd or 4th command, does it mean the remaining commands are not important or what? and will this method help me get pass the OEM lock on my current ZUI 1.9 ?
for the 2nd method, do i have to unzip the zip file after i download it or no? and should i put it anywhere on the storage or does it have to be a specific map in the root or something>?

Hey guys, i have MI A2 cellphone, and after auto update programmed to three hours the smartphone show "AndroidONE" logo and then shutdown, i tried "Fastboot oem unlock", but it is my output:
PHP:
C:\Users\Lucas Daniel>fastboot oem unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed
')
Finished. Total time: 0.000s
. I'm desperate, I do not know what to try anymore, I believe I do not have unlock OEM activated, someone can help me?
Sorry for bad english, i'm from brazilian.
@LukeSkyPTBR
It's a well-known issue. One update was revoked as soon as Xiaomi has found out about phones bricking once it's installed. There's no way you can fix it by yourself except if you have ordered your phone from China (and so no warranty you have) and have experience in disassembling phones. There's a thing called test-point, do some research if you are self-assured in that area. Otherwise let your authorized service center make everything for you. It is a warranty case, either way.

Thanks, looks that, unfortunately, my unique solution is test-point for activate EBL Mode... I will leave the topic open for the case of i get other solutions... after 3 days, if not get, i will close and the unique solution will really test-point.
Try rebooting it a couple of times and see if it boots. Or plug it to a charger and try booting it once it starts to charge successfully. If all fails, flashing via EDL might be your only option.
Try rebooting more than couple of time. Phone is supposed to switch to the other slot of A/B where original ROM (before update) resides. When it finally boots, get developer rights, switch on ADB Debugging and OEM unlock, thus next time update soft-bricks your phone you'll be able to unlock (or even better unlock immediately after successful boot not to loose your data in future).
Isnt Fastboot OEM Unlock command deprecated ? Shouldn't you use the unlock / unlock critical command ?

How can I do it? I leave the phone in the charger for a long time? Or do you need the power button for a long time?
I tried to press the power button for 2 minutes and nothing happened.
When i leave the smartphone on the charge, after 50 minutes, show for me 100% percent, so, i pressed power button and the screen stayed lock in "AndroidONE", nothing happened, until try again press power button.

I can enter fastboot mode, but this is not enough to do run commands up. I would need unlock bootloader(OEM).

If you can enter fastboot then you can go to EDL mode by typing 'fastboot reboot edl' and then use QPST to flash the latest stock rom.

Do as tabun1994 said.
This will hopefully get the system up again.
The commands I wrote would unlock the bootloader. What else could I have meant?
If you succeeded with tabun's method, then you probably would only need to enable "USB debugging" and "OEM unlocking" in the ROM's developer options (which you'll enable by hitting "build number" in settings like 10 times or so).
Then you would connect the device and accept the 'trust this device' warning.
After booting to fastboot now, the commands I wrote should work and unlock the bootloader (if you even want that when your system is running again).

This command needs OEM Unlock :/
this is my output: fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target edl
The test point method is actually easy , you have to dissasemble the display , easy procedure , remove the battery and short the two test points with tweezerz or something ,and in the meantime you plug the usb cable into the computer. It should install the Qusb_Hub drivers , and with miFlash you should be able to reflash the firmware . I bought a phone that was in this state and fixed it using these steps.
No more solutions, I will do the test point method, thanks to everyone who tried to help otherwise.

No it doesn't, i have tried this method on locked bootloader, go to this link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...e-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292/amp/
And download the fastboot_edl.7z , your phone will be in edl mode, I think you don't have the proper platform files which has caused the problem.
