So, i installed Xposed, and like many people, i got stuck in the logo... No big deal there... Went to look for some help, and it said to go to fastboot, so I went, but it got stuck in the fastboot logo. Then I connected it to the computer and when I try to list the ADB devices I Ialways get an error saying the server is outdated...
I really need some help! I can't find anything online to help me!
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I submitted a bootloader unlock request to Xiaomi earlier today, but I can't see if its approved or not because phone doesn't work
well,
if you are in fastboot mode then the command is "Fastboot Devices", Not "adb Devices"

and about boot loop problem try to flash miui fastboot rom.

And about bootloader request problem you can go to edl mode and flash miui without any permissions

I tried, but i cant seem to go to edl mode through fastboot, any tips? and because of bootloader lock i cant flash fastboot rom with MI Flash
Edl mode needs a specific fastboot version.
For the Redmi Note 3 Pro / Special Edition
Download and extract this package on your PC.
Enter fastboot mode by holding Power and Vol- at the same time. Wait until the Mi Bunny appears, then connect the phone to the PC.
Run reboot.bat in the extracted package. A command prompt will appear. Press a key to reboot the phone to EDL mode.
Upon entering EDL mode, the screen should turn blank. The notification LED might be blinking red. Done.
To get out of EDL mode, hold the Power button for about 10 seconds.

Above quote taken from xiaomi reddit wiki.
If the above doesn't work, see the link for deep flash cable, shouldn't be need for kenzo/kate.
How you flashed/installed xposed on locked bootloader is another question?
You may need to update your adb/fastboot version + device drivers(adb)

Installing Mi Flash should have put the correct drivers on your PC.
But can be got from here: - https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-pc-drivers-xiaomi-redmi-note-3/
And I already linked adb/fastboot tools.
IF your comfortable opening your device, there is also a test point method you could try.
http://en.miui.com/thread-244814-1-1.html
Could not find a English video, so maybe try googling more and you might find one.
If not, you could ask at local repair shop, if they would fix it for you. Using Cable/ TP method.
Note for other readers:- MIUI roms need a special version of xposed, for it to work. And installing from an app would more than likely would have use the wrong version. Should never be done on a locked bootloader, only asking for trouble. (Rovo89 is currently trying to bring MIUI support to the official version for nougat roms)

You don't need USB debugging to use fastboot when your phone is booted into bootloader. What you need there is a fastboot tool and drivers. I'm using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
and if it doesn't install correct drivers for you, you can get them here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
first thing to do is check what fastboot returns after this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it shows your device ID you're good to go
I'd suggest downloading stock firmware first and flashing it before messing with custom recovery. Just remember Motorola often updates bootloader with new firmware so don't flash anything older than you had on your phone before.
Good luck
EDIT: you can also use RSD Lite to flash a new software, it basically automates fastbooting proccess, so theres no risk of misspelling or doing other stuff wrong
EDIT2: firmware is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639
also, the OP (lost101) is a great, helpful guy who may give you some advice if you need

Hello my friend just made an update of his phone which is a redmi 3 pro
His little bro shutdowned the phone while update was in process. The result is that now the phone have a bootloop, can't access the recovery (blackscreen when trying) and have a locked bootloader.
So I am not sur how to unlock the BL if I can't install a dev rom and can't boot. Not sur how to get into the recovery with the 2 same problems.
Could anyone help me for this one? Which is hard to me.
Thanks
PS: I tried to do something with unpacking boot and remove a ",verify" thing in the ramdisk but I guess I'll need the unlockedbootloader to flash the new boot.img?

I have the similar problem with my Redmi3. The Fastboot screen is the only screen that I can get now. Let me know if you have answer. Thanks.
If you can acces fastboot then just connect the phone to computer in fastboot and enter fastboot oem edl in cmd (maybe you will need Minimal ADB and fastboot to do it). Then flash official ROM via MiFlash.
ohoh seems interesting then it won't say couldn't verify or smthg? will tell that to my friend asap, thanks
EDL mode allows flashing with locked bootloader. Some models have this mode locked, but I think that is not the case with Redmi 3.

Hey! I am back with some news of my friend!
He tried to run the EDL mode but when he does that the phone simply goes into the bootloop again... He asked a vendor from Aliexpress to get a french rom, is there a way that the phone doesn't have EDL because of the rom or something like that? I mean is EDL a hardware-thing or a software-thing

I have same problem, but this way is not work, because bootloader is locked. Im forget for replacing recovery.img in update package with twrp.
I had this problem before few monthes
my solution was to "force" putting this device on EDL mode
I clicked on vol up + vol down + power together and got into EDL mode, then miflash it.
google - xiaomi understanding download mode
it will send you into miui forum
then second method, download mode, it is what I've described
Hii Friends,
I am new to xda as i got an problem with my Redmi Note 3.
Specs Before Dead:
Miui 8.2.4
Android 6.0
32 Gb Rom,3 Gb Ram
I was trying to flash Android 8.0 Rom via Twrp {Flashed Through Mi Flash Tool}. Twrp Flashed Successfully and Then I started with flashing with Oreo Rom.It also got flashed successfully but the problem I think is I forgot to flash Lazy Flasher due to which the phone booted but was lock even though i entered the right password It started to reset the phone. Then the phone turned off never revived from there.
As I tried to power up many times and tried almost all the combination Keys like Power+Vol up,Power+Vol down,Power+Vol up+Vol Down,etc.Only Red Light is blinking while connected to charging or PC. In PC the Port shows Qualcomm 900E and cannot be recognized in Mi Flash Tool. As Mi flash tool detects Qualcomm 9008.Even I manually Tried to change the driver to 9008 but didn't help me to flash the ROM.Shown an error: Device attached is not working; in Mi Flash Tool
Even I showed in a repair center near me but he ended up with no solution even. I have been trying to get it in Edl mode so that i can flash Fast boot Rom but no clue for that.
If any clue for this would be really appreciated!!!

As I mentioned all the problem in the thread....there's nothing wrong with bootloader.
Thanks but no thanks
More info required: Official unlock or Unofficial unlock?
After flashing oreo ROM lazy flasher is not required you need to format data ( apart from wiping data ) to boot the device.
when connected to PC when the red light is blinking that means you're in EDL mode, now try holding power + vol down button, keep holding until you get a vibration & get into fastboot mode.
Then you can use fastboot commands to check if the bootloader is still unlocked & can flash TWRP again if erased.
But, if device is unable to enter fastboot mode then you must flash MIUI fastboot ROM through EDL.
The procedure is the same for flashing but you need appropriate drivers en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=attachment&aid=NzU4MzF8ZWU0ZWM1OTR8MTM5ODc1NDUzM3w2NDg1MDkzM3wxOTY5Nw%3D%3D

I have tried holding all the combination keys as mentioned earlier but no results. So without getting in Fastboot mode i cannot flash the rom and I don't think so that my device is in EDL mode because PC device manager shows Qualcomm 900E instead of 9008.

Here, this helped me. If you follow the instructions correctly, you will be able to unlock bootloader, boot into twrp and then flash your custom rom. Skip to the part when you will have the red led blinking.
Hope it helps.
So by now most of you have seen the DFU MultiDL tool by @raystef66 only you had to switch from Multi tool to Miflash or Edl Tool.
I have worked out how to get Edl working in this tool.
First of all this tool was designed to run on Windows 7 so in Windows 10 it didn't seem to function properly.
So I set it to Windows 7 compatibility first off to see if it would work.
I had better results with phone detecting and saying connected instead of disconnect.
Next the phone needed to be booted into FTM mode if you are just flashing an Edl package, if your phone is in DFU it skips this step as per the instructions below.
Next I found it was better to place the Edl package within the MultiDL tool folders.
C:\program files > DFU MultiDL tool > DA > SMT > firehose and overwrite the exsiting firehose file.
Pics posted below show instruction (tranlated from Chinese to English) and MultiDL tool in flashing progress (sorry they are not very clear)
I hope this helps

Boot your phone into FTM mode to start the process, it should switch to Edl mode.
This tool won't lock the bootloader, however some Edl packages will have a locked boot image.
If your Edl is still locked try the Edl tool by Djkuz.
Start Edl tool as admin, boot into FTM to start, follow the on screen instructions then unlock then choose Edl fix.
You may be able to lock the bootloader with Edl Tool or use the Axon 7 tool kit to relock.
I hope this helps

I have an A2017U, that was initially running 15.1 and developed an issue that requires me to send it in for a warranty exchange.

I am somewhat of a noob when it comes to this, but what exactly would I need to do in order to relock the bootloader? I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

well, as a first you could respond to my question ?
If you can get into EDL by the key combination, then you're done. Just use a B19 EDL package to go back and you'll have fastboot there. After that, run the command to relock

That's the problem, the key combination doesn't work to get the phone into EDL mode (I'm guessing it's because it is disabled on B35). In essence, I don't have fastboot access. I tried relocking in FTM but get the error as shown in the picture.

still you don't really respond. What HAPPENS when you use the key combination? Does it reboot? Does it stay black and show a red LED? Black with no LED?
Anyways, you can enter EDL simply by enabling adb and issuing "adb reboot edl" from the system. (or from FTM). it just seems weird that it would reboot, because usually the phone just goes into DFU when you use the combination
When I use the button combination, the phone shows a blank/black screen with a solid red notification light. However, I get no response on any commands from the Axon 7 Toolkit.
@Syberclone: Thanks for the recommendation to run the tool in Win7 compatibility mode, I have Windows 10 and the tool always shows as disconnected. I can use the tool to switch from DFU to EDL, no problem, but could never figure out how to use it to flash an EDL.
I'd like to point out that FTM isnt accessible if you're not running a stock-based ROM. In all my tests I was never able to boot into FTM on custom ROMs like LineageOS, AOSP Extended, etc.
However, if you can boot directly into EDL with the buttons, or can use this tool to switch from DFU to EDL, then access to FTM doesn't matter.
@parmar.saab: A black screen with a solid red light is DFU mode, you need to use the DFU MultiDL Tool to switch from DFU to EDL. EDL is a black screen too, but has a red light that will turn off if you use the button combo. In other words, it will blink rather than staying solid. Then you can use the Axon 7 Toolkit or Axon 7 EDL Tool to flash an EDL. Or you might be able to flash with the DFU tool, if you can get it to work.
@AnonVendetta No problem
It took me a while to work it out, a bit over 2 hours of testing and retesting using my Axon.
I didn't want to put it in to DFU to do a full test, however it worked a treat once I got it sorted.
FTM was as per the Chinese instructions not actually mine, apparently if the phone is in DFU the app will work accordingly.
