The facts:
-I'm an idiot and I dun ****ed up.
-I'm a fool to believe I could power my way through learning how to flash roms and unlock the bootloader unofficially.
About the Device:
1: Kenzo.
2: I can access Fastboot (PWR +Volume down)
3: When I try to boot the device, the Mi logo is visible for 3 seconds, disappears, reappears again and then then the phone turns off.
3.a: When connected to my computer via the official cable, the screen remains pure black and the red light blinks repeatedly, as if in EDL. In device manager, the phone reads as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (COM10)
4:XiaoMIFlash and MiFlash tool both do not detect the phone when I hit refresh (which is why I can't seem to fix it)
5: Putting the device in Fastboot and attempting to send any command through CMD/ADB results in either nothing happening, or <waiting for device> showing up, and then nothing else happens. (This used to work before)
6: I don't believe I can access recovery (PWR+Volume UP)
7: Could not unlock bootloader officially due to getting stuck at 50% with "Not connected to Mi Phone" error.
I ****ed up. Bad. I really need help. I tried following many tutorials, but all of them assume that the device can be detected by MiFlash, but mine can't.
Please, I desperately need help. I'm new to android and if I can somehow manage to get this fixed, I'm keeping MIUI, to hell with custom roms, as long as it works.
Please help, I'm at my wit's end.
PS: If the only possible way to fix it is test point method, please post the name of all tools I need, so I can go and buy them.
PSS: Device bricked after attempting unofficial unlock. I never got to the "OEM unlock" part, it bricked before that.
PSSS: Before bricking, I was using China Dev rom. As to try and avoid bricking the device, I switched using miflash to kenzo_global_images_V8.0.5.0.LHOMIDG_20160805.0000.29_5.1_global.
Then, following the unofficial unlock tutorial, I tried flashing the same rom with the modified prog_emmc_firehose_8976_ddr, and it bricked there.

Have your phone boot into fastboot. Connect your phone, run adb and check if it receives commands by using : "fastboot devices". If it returns a value then your phone is detected on your computer. Next, download this file : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940129
Now, extract the zip file and open Reboot.bat . This will open cmd and press the enter key.
Your phone is now booted into EDL mode. Now MiFlash should detect your phone and you can flash a stock image from the Miui forum. Probably best to to flash stable ROM (fastboot ROM).

Make sure that you've disabled driver verification signature, your path to the image folder does not contain any spaces, and also the flash all data except data and storage option.

Hi there guys!
My Xiaomi Hongmi S1 couldn't pass the boot phase after me trying to install Xposed. Then, the software Mi Phone Manager tried to recover the system files with the phone in fastboot (in this phase I still could enter fastboot and recovery) - somewhere along this process I had to leave and, when I came back, I had an error message in the software and the phone was turned off. After this I could not turn the phone on anymore, not even into fastboot or recovery.
MiFlash detects the phone even like this, but is unable to flash things into it.
PLEASE, HELP ME!
Someone?
Go in fastboot to pc
(you probably see anything on your phone)
On PC you can see if you are in fastboot by
Klicking on Refresh button on MiFlash you will see that you are connected
And Flash stock rom
See On thread (1)
(Also See MiFlash Picture from Thread)

If that fails, your phone is probably broken.
Recently while flashing alpha version of MIUI marshmallow on my Mi 4w, my phone got completely bricked. Complete brick in the sense, it won't turn on, neither charge nor show any led indication. This guide should work on other phones also.Let's start:-
1) Although it seems like your phone wont turn on, your phone is actually working, it's just it wont show anything on the screen(no display).
Make sure your phone is charged properly(it will charge even if the led doesn't show any indication).
2) Download and install Mi flash tool and then Fastboot file of your device. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
3) Unzip the fastboot image, a folder containing flash all.bat should appear if not, extract the extracted file again. Winrar should work fine.
4) Now open Mi flash tool(as administrator) and select the fastboot folder from Mi flash using browse option and also select the proper fastboot script according to need.
Note: Flash_all.bat will completely erase your internal storage.
5) Now press volume down(-) and power key to enter into fastboot. Note: it won't show any visual whatsoever but it'll work.
6) Connect your phone to your pc. It should show various flash devices connected to your computer and those devices may continuosly connect and disconnect. If not it'll show QHUSUB_BULK install the driver using device manager.
7) On Mi flash tool, some device name should show on the devices list if not click refresh and try reconnecting the device. Note: If you dont have proper drivers installed on your pc, this procedure won't work.
8) Finally click on flash and flashing will start. It'll take some time. Once done it'll show operation completed successfully.
9) Finally boot your device using power key.
Brick has received QHSUSB_BULK simple. This is the normal and regular encounter. Hardbrick, you must check point.

How do I put the phone into fastboot mode if it is hard bricked? It won't turn on, I get no responce from phone. When I use method connecting test point to metal cover on mother board of phone usb connects to PC and MiFlash recognizes phone. Try to flash though and I get an error message. No matter what ROM I use, zipped, unzipped or tgz file. Can my phone be unbricked? What am I doing wrong? I have a Mi Max 64GB and am using HELIUM Roms. Please help. Error message is:
The filename, directory name, or volume label is incorrect.(0x8007007b: Open programmer "MPRG*.hex").
I have no clue. Not my first time flashing ROMs or unbricking a phone. It is my first time on a Xiaomi. Only done blackberry and samsung before.

Link not working.
Using another mi flash tool also get nothing. How do I know I get into fastboot?
Already pressed volume down and power button but nothing happened. And checking fastboot devices nothing comes up. Also in mi flash tool nothing.
WARNING, THIS GUIDE WILL WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR DEVICE.
!!! Whatever you do, it is at your own risk !!!
This procedure will unbrick any Axon 7, returning it to stock. It fixes any kind of brick as long as your hardware is not damaged. You can't damage your hardware using software so if you have a healthy unit, you can recover it from any flashing "accident".
1. GET THE SOFTWARE
You need a Windows PC, Windows 10 is highly recommended. Do this:
01. Install MiFlash in your PC. It includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC drivers, nonetheless you can always install the latest drivers.
02. Download the EDL flashable stock firmware package for your model:
A2017 (China): B14_MIFAVOR5 Android: 7.1.1
A2017G (Europe): B10_NOUGAT Android: 7.1.1
A2017U (Americas): B35_NOUGAT Android: 7.1.1
03. Unzip the firmware ZIP file to a folder in your hard drive.
2. ENTER EDL MODE
Option A: USING THE REBOOT COMMAND
If you still have access to your system but not to recovery or fastboot, then you just need to install any terminal app, open it and at the app's command prompt enter:
Code:
reboot edl
. You device will reboot into EDL mode. Now you can safely plug your Device to your computer. In your computer right click in the Windows Start Menu icon and select Device Manager. Under Ports (COM & LPT) your device should appear as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 using a virtual COM port. If you can see it, then you can continue to the flash section, step 14. Otherwise, if you do not see anything or a DFU device, then you'll need to explore the next option.
Option B: USING THE BUTTON COMBO
04. Press the VolUp and VolDn buttons in your device and keep them pressed.
05. Now press the power button until the red LED flashes, it does it really quick. Then release the buttons, starting by the power button.
06. Plug the device to your computer.
In your computer right click in the Windows Start Menu icon and select Device Manager. Under Ports (COM & LPT) your device should appear as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 using a virtual COM port. If you can see it, then you can continue to the flash section, step 14. Otherwise, if you do not see anything or a DFU device, then you need an EDL cable.
OPTION C: USING THE EDL CABLE
So, you need to get a Qualcomm EDL cable. With it you can recover from any situation. I use this one, DrakenFX uses this other model. There are cables out there not working properly so do not try to save 4 or 5 bucks and get yours from a reliable source. Alternatively you can solder your own by following this guide. If you are in an emergency (or your patience threshold is very low) and have a thin wire around you, then you can follow this DIY hack video.
Do you already have the EDL cable? then follow these steps:
07. Connect your bricked Axon 7 to your PC using the EDL cable.
08. Press the EDL cable button and keep it pressed.
09. Press the Power button of your bricked unit and keep it pressed too.
10. Wait 20 seconds.
11. Release the power button.
12. Wait 10 seconds.
13. Release the button of the EDL cable.
Voilà, your device is now in EDL mode. The device manager in your PC, under the ports category, should detect it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Now you can proceed to the flash section. If this procedure doesn't work, then your unit could have a hardware problem. Your only hope is to dissemble it by following this last resort guide.
3. FLASH FIRMWARE
14. Open MiFlash in your computer.
15. Click Browse button and select the folder you created in step 03 with the stock firmware files.
16. Click Refresh button and your device will appear listed as virtual COM port.
17. Click Flash button and wait for a few minutes until it finishes. Note that the bottom options are not applicable.
18. Now you have a stock Axon 7. Your data partition will still have garbage data, so you should enter recovery by pressing VolUp while rebooting your device with the power button. Release VolUp only when you reach Recovery. Using Recovery do a Factory Reset of your device.
That was the last step. Hopefully now you have a fully functional stock Axon 7.
By the way, this guide can also be used to return to stock any working device for selling or service!!!!
Cheers!!!!
Nice! I just disassembled mine and did it that way the other day.
thank you.
i will save the files and guide for rainy day.
i have A2017 that i converted into A2017U; which file do i need to download?

I don't know what you mean about converting an A2017 into an A2017U. They are the same device except for the radio, that that's a hardware difference. You should always use the right modem firmware for your radio hardware so you should use the A2017 modem firmware. After unbricking your unit, you can unlock it again and flash any universal firmware the same way you did before. It is a long but safe process.
yes, i meant to say that i flashed U radio over my A2017
so China version is for me.

If you flashed the A2017U radio in a A2017 hardware and worked fine for you, then you can use the A2017U B35 stock firmware.
What will be the bootloader status after following this guide? I need my phone with a locked bootloader.

It should be locked. But in case you end up with an unlocked phone, then locking it is very easy. You only need to connect your phone, enter into fastboot mode, download the adb/fastboot tools and execute the command fastboot oem lock from your computer.

I can't get into EDL mode. I hold down volume buttons, then power. When the red led lights up, I unpress power, then the volume buttons, connect the USB cable and nothing happens on my phone (black display) red led still on. On my computer I see ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) (COM3).
Edit: I managed to get into EDL mode thanks to Axon 7 EDL Tool but I got a "File analysis: error" "not important files found" so I went back to MiFlash and also got an error about the files. Will update the post when I get it to work.

xD My phone was bricked. I thought this tutorial was mainly targeted for bricked devices.
Anyway, my phone is working now. The downloaded EDL zip was corrupt so it only had a few files inside.

Edit: I have a working phone on Nougat B10. But I can't lock the bootloader because I don't have access to fastboot. My phone's variant is A2017G

Glad to see you solved your issue. I misunderstood your problem. I thought you had access to the system and not to recovery or fastboot. Anyway, this guide is for unbrick or return to stock. I'll investigate the relock problem. Usually clearing devinfo partition should be enough to relock any bootloader.

In order to get access to fastboot I had to use the tool Axon7Toolkit, select "unlock bootloader" option, make sure you have an old version of MiFlash installed (20161212) and then you can select "lock bootloader" on Axon7Toolkit.
Thanks for everything.

Well, I am considering to link the older Marshmallow ROMs since the Nougat ROMs have some issues with fastboot. Anyway. It is going to take some time to test the alternatives. Thanks for letting us know!
Some of the most recent firmware for Axon 7 (@NFound's B12 bootstack, I think) doesn't support the EDL button combo. But if you have TWRP installed, you can boot to recovery, then reboot to EDL from there.
I kept getting the device registering in device manager in DFU mode. But I noticed that it briefly registers as QUSB_BULK before reverting to DFU. So I installed zadig winUSB driver and now it registers as QUSB_BULK when I turn on the device pressing all 3 buttons.
How can I proceed now?
Hi there
Thanks for this guide. I have a 2017U, so I got A2017U_B35_NOUGAT_FULL_EDL.zip file. After unzipping and connecting the phone to the computer it gets properly recognized and i can start the process from the MiFlash program. After reaching somewhere between 30-40% of the flashing process, it goes suddenly to 100% and it says that is finished. When I reboot the phone, it appears as if I was still under an unlocked bootloader (warning message + TUX penguin image) and the phone starts but during the initial setup process, i chose to start as a new phone but it says that "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device" and obviously this is not what I am interested for.
How can I get rid of this message and get a full clean install, with bootloader relocked and all that??
Thank you for any help you can provide!

There ate several ways to remove that. One involves TWRP 3.2.1-7 and the other Axon 7 EDL tool, if you dont have TWRP then use the second . Jusy go to the unlock menu and apply the google unlock.
A third way would be to setup the phone with your old google account and do afactory reset from within Android, not from the bootloader. That would remove also the owner safety.
Thank you so much for your guide and software bundle.
I even had to make a EDL cable to restore my device.
After flashing, I do not see vendor as a partition but looks like it is a folder. Is it OK for future ROMs ?

Hii XDA fellows,
So I have seen many people asking for noob friendly guide to restore original oxygen os firmware or basically unbrick device. There are several thread on this already but trust me I have tried them all and in my case I had to use my own brain. So I have compiled a noob friendly guide which I,myself have used to unbrick my device.
small warning this will wipe all of your data.
Firstly I wants to thank Some_Random_Username for bringing up MSM Unbrick tool for OnePlus Nord. His guide to unrick nord is also fairly good enough but in my case I was stuck in bootloop after installing a rom. My phone was not even booting to Qualcomm EDL Mode so that I can use MSM Tool.
Lets start with pre-requisites:
You must have unlocked bootloader.
Original Oneplus Type - C cable.
Windows PC.
ADB debugging turned on your phone.
Firstly Switch off your device, which I think most of you have already have as the device is bricked but in case your phone is stuck in bootloop or recovery or bootloader menu itself then try holding down voume up button and power button together hold them down till you get heptic feedback and screen goes off. Let it be cool down for about a minute.
Now Setup your PC:
Download MSM tool to from this guide : Click here
Setup adb environment in your PC if you havent already setup follow this guide
Download Qualcomm EDL drivers from here: Click here
Now download Unofficial TWRP recovery by Mauronofrio from here
On your PC right click on start menu icon and start Windows Powershell(Admin) and type this command bcdedit /set testsigning on This will turn off driver signature verifications on windows you will be required to restart your pc now after you restart your pc will boot into test mode and you'll see a watermark stating the same in bottom left of your desktop. Worry not we will undo this after we have finished restoring.
install Qualcomm EDL drivers by running the setup listed above.
Unzip MSMTool there you will see a file named MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe run it, it'll take some time but after you see a pop up asking for user type user name and password, Select other as user type and leave other stuffs blank as it is and click next.
In the next window, In the target button select O2 while using global tool or India while using indian tool or EU when using european tool.
Now you have to boot into Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode
You can do this in several diffrent ways but one I am listing here is recommended :
Boot into fastboot/bootloader mode by pressing and holding Volume up, Volume down and power button together when you see a Menu pop up on your screen you can let go all the fingers at once.
Now connect your phone to your PC and go to that folder where TWRP recovery is located. Hold Shift button and Right click inside that folder you'll see an option "Open powershell window here click on it. In the powershell window type
fastboot devices and press enter your device will be listed as fastboot devices in powershell window. Now type
fastboot boot twrp1.img press enter
your device will boot up in TWRP recovery in twrp recovery go to reboot section and select Edl, This will boot your phone Edl mode your screen will go off as soon as it happens in the MSM tool window you'll see a device listed as com3/com5/com7.
Click on start button the restoration process will begin. Wait for about 400 secs and your device will automatically boot up.
Voila you've successfully unbricked your phone.
If you want to exit from Driver test mode on your pc simply start a powershell window with admin rights and type
bcdedit /set testsigning off
and restart your PC.
So first off all i want to say thanks for this guide.
So , i have a problem with my phone getting reconized by my pcs, so, my Phone just works fine but i want to restore it to stock, i'm using aospex 8.3.
Since a few days my phone dosnt get reconzied by my pc, i've tried windows and linux, both installations cant find my phone, i tried diffrent pc's,usb cables, driver, new installations of windows and linux mint, other phones dont have this problem, tried resetting , everything, do you have a idea what i could try or could it be just my phone port thats damaged and cant transfer data anymore, if anyone has an idea i would really be happy about an answer , thanks!

Seems like it's a software issue probably a bug in your rom rich out to the developer he might help you, as you have tried both with Linux and windows i don't think it's a driver issue, it could be an issue with the hardware also but chances are pretty low for this to happen. Try flashing other roms if you have backup of your phone, use orange fox recovery it has an option of taking nandroid backup.

the thing is that i cant flash other roms, my phone dosn't gets recognized in fastboot, recovery and edl, so with the aex recovery installed i have no chance to change the rom without a pc, reached out to the dev but seems i'm the only person with the proplem, but thanks for helping.
The TL;DR is, I bricked my phone (TMo Nord N200 5G, SIM unlocked, Bootloader unlocked). I'm trying to use the MSM to recover it. I can't boot to EDL (hold down volume up and volume down at the same time, while pressing power or plugging a USB cable into my PC). It just boots to Fastboot when I follow that procedure. I can't get to a place where I can use ADB commands (ADB shows device "unauthorized").
Longer version, my stock phone was upgraded to the June patch level, I think.
I did the SIM unlock, unlocked the bootloader, and installed the drivers.
I successfully flashed the latest PHH squeak FOSS by following this guide but it had some quirks that I wasn't completely satisfied with.
I flashed a SparkOS GSI linked from somewhere else, but it constantly beeped at me after I disabled Google Play Services, so I decided to move on.
I think the next OS I tried was CRdroid from the same place, but I also replaced the boot.img with a stock one that was patched for Magisk. I can't remember why I thought this was a good idea. There was also a thread that said Magisk doesn't like having nothing in system_a so flash this blank partition using these commands. It always errored out, but I tried it before rebooting.
At this point, my phone would either boot to Qualcomm CrashDump on its own, or Fastboot if I held volume down.
Using the latest Fastboot Enhance I was able to get into fastbootd by switching to "A" active, then rebooting to fastbootd. Have to remember to switch back to "B" active to get anything else to work.
I've tried flashing a few different things since I can get to fastbootd now. I'm no longer booting into the Qualcomm CrashDump, it reliably boots to fastboot as long as I'm "B" active. I just can't get anything resembling a working OS.
I've tried flashing the OTA TMo with Fastboot Enhance a few different times, and a few different GSIs through fastboot, and I really want to get back to stock now so I can start all over.
I've also tried a couple different MSM tool versions, but since my phone is never in EDL, it's never recognized.
Thank you for any assistance.
Holding the Vol +/- & power WILL force boot the N200 to EDL mode regardless of the software corruption as this is at the hardware level.
The thing you need to be concerned with is that you have the latest Qualcomm ADB tools installed so msmtool will recognise the phone while in this mode.
Install the latest adb driver and go into that folder when typing the command as you might have older adb installed already at another location (and in the system path) that is running instead.

Then you need to have msmtool running and ready to begin and the mouse button hovering over the start button. As soon as the first logo screen comes up, it will only go into EDL mode for about 3-4 seconds and then move on to booting and dump you into fastboot if the rom is corrupt/missing. You need to watch msmtool on the first line and the second it shows up, click start and it will flash.
If you are still missing it and in fastboot I think the the N200 supports the force phone to edl mode by fastboot command:
fastboot oem edl

Thank you for responding!
The command fastboot oem edl is returning either:
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
I'm running fastboot version 33.0.2-8557947, it's not in my system path.
From a full power off, holding the buttons and plugging in the USB cable, it's about 5 seconds until I see the OnePlus logo, then 2 more seconds before I drop into Fastboot. I'm not sure what I'm looking for, to confirm EDL mode. I'm not seeing my Device Manager update in that time, and the MSM tool isn't displaying anything, either.
try insert cable then volume + and - and power. keep it holding for 10-15 seconds or till you see qualcomm device in device manager
qualcomm drivers
Qualcomm_Drivers_Setup.exe
drive.google.com
try holding both volume buttons (make sure its off!) then plugging your phone in to the computer with msm tool open (you can pre-press the start button) (make sure you have all the drivers installed)
How can I verify that I have all of the required Qualcomm drivers installed?
I've run pretty much every driver install in this thread, or that I could find by searching, and it still seems like my laptop isn't recognizing the phone.

Open up Device Manager in windows. and then attempt to connect it to the computer while in EDL mode. In EDL mode it will still look like it's off btw, that confused me a lot.
You're looking for a device to show up in Device Manager when you connect it. If you're in EDL mode and have the driver's installed correctly it'll say qualcomm-something-something. If you see unknown device, you don't have the drivers installed. If no new device is detected either you're not in EDL mode or you should try a different cable.
Same issue as OP, won't boot into edl
edit: use USB 2.0
You can try enumusb.exe here: http://www.temblast.com/windows.htm
Code:
C:\>enumusb.exe /l /v05c6 /p9008
It will list the first time that a QUSB_BULK was plugged into a port, even if there was no driver found/loaded.
If you want, you can clear past connections by (needs to be admin command line):
This does no harm. I clear everything out occasionally, it just means that next boot will take 5 seconds longer while it discovers "new" devices and installs the same drivers.
Code:
C:\>enumusb.exe /d /v05c6 /p9008
Or, if you don't like that, just plug your device into a different port and see if another port is listed in enumusb.exe /l
On that same page you can find usblog.exe
You just run it and it will show you what pops up and down.
But, this only shows devices that Windows has loaded drivers for.

THANK YOU!
I didn't know there was a mode where it was powered on and the screen stayed off.
I finally got there by this path: Fastboot -> Recovery (I think?) -> List of languages, I chose English -> Power off -> Yes, really -> Hold down VOL+ and VOL- until I noticed the Qualcomm device in Device Manager
So I'm in EDL mode now! But my MSM tool crashes immediately on launch. So new problem, at least.

I re-installed the Qualcomm driver bundle while my phone was plugged in and in EDL mode, and MSM finally worked! Thank you kind stranger! I'm back to factory now.
Thank you Strangers ,

Try my native Windows EDL client. It uses the same Firehose loader as your stock tool does.
At the very least this will give you a second opinion.
