Hello everyone , this is my first post on this forum.
I recently tried to root my Huawei p8 lite 2017 pra-lx1 , and bricked it , i can enter fastboot but thats all i cant do anything else , if i go to recovery it starts searching for something and then gives me an error.
Problem is usb debugging is off , and i cannot connect the phone to my computer so i can fix it.
I tried putting the rom on a sd-card and installing it like that, but it did not work.
I even installed ubuntu to try and somehow connect the phone , but after 3 days of search i didn't find any solutions , Please help me !

Any luck with this? I find myself in the same situation.
Hello,
For some reason my Xiomi RN3 pro is stuck on bootloop. I tried ALL the guides on the internet to unlock my bootloader and then fix it by installing new flash. Altough everytime i try getting my phone from fasboot into EDL it just restarts back into bootloop so i cannot follow any guide i found on the internet. Can someone talented tell me why is that or how can i get my phone working again? Thank you!

Hi, the guides you read are obsolete. In recent MIUI/bootloader the option for "soft" EDL start was removed. If you're lucky so-called "deep flash cable method" will do EDL, otherwise "test point method" will work for sure, see http://en.miui.com/thread-244814-1-1.html
:fingers-crossed:
Hello, I'm having a problem. I bought mi note 5 and I wanted to install netflix which wasn't available in the play store because the bootloader was unlocked by default. I decided to lock the bootloader after which my data was erased. Since then I flashed a few roms and got stuck in boot loop.
However later I opened the phone and decided to go to EDL mode and do test point method which was successful.
Now from EDL I disconnect the battery and connect via usb cable to my computer and see the device as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
When I try to flash certain roms, I can only flash if I replace prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660.
Otherwise I get error messages like "can not read port com".
So I replace the file prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr and then successfully flash.
However after the flash the phone doesn't reboot, even if I hold different key combinations like power, or power+down+up
It always remains in EDL mode without rebooting. I can't go into fast boot mode or recovery.
I've read some suggestions in the forum to leave the battery to drain, however having 4000 mAh battery, I don't know how many days it's going to take.
I've tried almost everything without success.
If someone can help me solve this problem, I'm willing to pay.
First of all identify correctly which model do you have to find and flash the correct firmware onto your device, there´s no need to change the programmer file to flash it. so maybe you are mistaking something. I never heard about mi note 5. Maybe your model is Redmi 5 Plus (vince) or Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred).
Next flash using Mi Flash tool through EDL, no need to discharge battery so the flashing process is with cable disconnected from battery, choose in the tool "clean all" option, your device has to be recogniced in device manager as qualcomm HS-USB 9008. If at time to connect to pc you feel a vibration then restart again the process. Provide some screenshot from MiFlash tool if you don´t solve the issue.
I have this model "Redmi Note 5" It's not plus but it should be using whyred as well I think.
Global-ROM-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-5-4GB-RAM-64GB-ROM-Smartphone-Snapdragon-636-Octa-Core-5
I can't paste the URL here, but if you go to aliexpress dot com you can enter 32879736597 in the search and it's gonna show up.
I am trying to flash through EDL with a fastboot rom from en.miu dot com/a-234.html ★ Redmi Note 5 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download (whyred_global_images_V10.0.6.0.OEIMIFH_20181127.0000.00_8.1_global_8fdb6af8d8.tgz)
I have already disconnected the battery cable and the phone is being detected as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in device manager.
I am choosing clean all option, but the rom will flash only if I overwrite the 2 firehose files inside the "images" directory.
It then starts flashing and finishes after about 200 secs with "success", however it doesn't reboot or vibrate after that.
If I try to flash with the original whyred_global_images_V10.0.6.0.OEIMIFH_20181127.0000.00_8.1_global_8fdb6af8d8.tgz it starts the flash process and after 10 secs I get "can not read from port COM1"

The guy linked to this site https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Glo...e-Snapdragon-636-Octa-Core-5/32879736597.html so his device is Redmi Note 5 (launched in march and called firstly as global due to the bands added) AKA Pro codename; Whyred.
He tried to relock officially a device unlocked unofficially and also he didn´t know about ARB.
You Got The Answer

Here you go for Whyred .. Found it here
Still haven't found a solution to this problem. The phone got hard bricked. It always gets detected as Qualcomm 9008 usb and I can flash many roms with QFIL or MiFlash but none of them seems to work. Phone simply won't start. Tried the anti-test rom too - flash is good, after that it just won't boot.
I have no fastboot or recovery.
Flashing stock roms never works. I get "can not read from port COM xy" every time.
If I put the programmer's file prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf in stock rom's images directory then I can flash, but the phone doesn't boot afterwards.
One day by mistake I flashed wrong rom - wayne (also using custom prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf) and surprise the phone booted and vibrated with a message "press any key to shutdown" I see also fastboot but it doesn't work, won't connect to PC because it's the fastboot mode for another cell phone modem, not for redmi note 5 pro
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera
It seems that your phone is Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera (vince) not Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro
(whyred), so, flash a stock vince firmware.
Good luck !

Brother I am stuck in same situation. Did you find any solution? Kindly help me
same here
dead after i flashed a presist file
flashed with many stock roms and the phone flash normal to 100% but never boot
Use this rom : https://miui.blog/redmi-note-5/miui-10-china-stable-v10-2-2-0-rom-fastboot-recovery/
Same problem me too
Switch edl mode after showing on driver ,but not showing on mi flash tool,
all sensors not work, camera blank display.
I bought RN 4 Mediatek with the cheapest deal, 4/46, Its still usable, n i forgot to do overall check coz its cheap
The issues :
1. i cant log on my Mi Account, coz everytime i do that, the notif 'getting security info' shows, n it never stop
2. I cant update apps in playstore. I can install new apps from apkpure site but it need to reboot
3. Everytime after reboot, a 'wait for debugger to attach' notif slways shows, n its related to Mi Find Device
So i assumed this RN 4 is Bricked n now i need HELP to UNBRICK it n i wish someone know also the test point. Coz like i used to unbrick other Mi phones, flashing via test point can fix all software issue
PLEASE HELP
T.I.A
First of all it's technically not bricked but considering that it's a cheap deal that probably means it's used and I hope you got the MI account that can unlock this phone, been long since I used miui on my note 4 so I dunno what happenes if you don't have it
but anyway here are some tips
1- if the device is unlocked try wiping all user data through the miui recovery (or if it has other recovery like twrp)
2- if the device isn't but you can still access fastboot then you might be able to erase the user data using
[fastboot erase userdata]
That's ocourse that means you need fastboot on your PC Abd also the device USB drivers
3- if that's still not working you might need to actua flash a stock ROM using MiFlash tool, while you're at it look for "deep flash" cause in my case just flashing in fastboot mode had so many troubles, but in download mode it went perfect
PS: I entered the download mode on my note 4 through fastboot code that I really can't remember right now, try this before resorting to short circuiting your device for download mode
I think I seriously bricked my Redmi Note 4x. I accidentally flashed an mi a2 lite rom and I realise too lat. After reboot black screen, no mi logo and no way to access fastboot or something else. Device only recognised as Qualcomm QS-Downlader 900E on Windows. Using test points I am able to make recognised as
Qualcomm QS-Downlader 9800 But when I try to flash stock rom with MiFlash I can obtain error “cannot receive Hello packet, flash error”. I tried to flash with QFIL but in Qualcomm QS-Downlader 9800 mode, it gives me back Sahara error and in Qualcomm QS-Downlader 900E mode, it gives me error “cannot switch to edl mode”. Is there any way to bring back to life my device?
Hi, I can't help you with your problem but I recommend creating a Telegram account and joining Redmi Note 4 groups. You'll get answers to your questions much quicker there.

I have tried as you suggest but no reply found, just some question about what smartphone do or not do. I hope someone could help me. I think but I’m not sure that if edl works there will be a solution to flash rom again even in that hello packet error.
