I know there is few hundered threads with "unbrick" in title but I read them all and nothing seems to work.
Friend brings me kenzo that he gets since his cousin brick it while trying OTA.
When I power phone its start to load system and it has 3 stages:
1. Show screen with "powered by Android" and 3 dots in the bottom, usualy about 4 min and restart
2. After restart just get black screen with Mi logo in the middle, for about 30 sec and restart
3. Instead of Android with dots bottom have white line progres bar, it takes 4 to 5 min and restart again.
After that stage 2 and 3 repeat for long as you have nervs to wait .
Phone can get in recovery and fastboot mode. And when I put him in test mode just show test screen and cant do anything.
In fastboot mode MiFlash recognize phone but report "device is locked" (try with 20160401 and 20160830).
After that i put him in EDL mode (fastboot reboot-edl) and MiFlash report successful flash. But nothing changes.
I try flashing global stable v8.0.5.0, china stable v8.0.4.0, global dev v6.10.13 and at the end global stable v7.2.5.0.
Any idea welcome. Thx
Have you tried to unlock bootloader? Perhaps install TWRP and do a system/dalvik/cache wipe and install MIUI through that?

Cant do that. Even unofficial unlock need phone to be working to enable USB debbuging and accept RSA kay from PC.
Edit: Right now looking for ways to edit boot.img to unlock bootloader in attempt to get any useful recovery.
you can try this guide to flash twrp altogether with rom. after flashing, directly boot to twrp and move to custom rom

I will try... but dont think it will do the job. Will post result little later.
EDIT
It dose not work, just as I think.
All that kind of method/advice need 2 things:
1. Enabled USB debbuging - You cant do that on bricked phone even if you edit boot.img ( ro.debuggable=1 ) because fastboot will not execute command since you will not have option to accept RSA kay from PC on your phone and complete that action.
2. Dev ROM - since you have to enable OEM unlock and that option you have only in dev ROMs. Even Xiaomi official unlock requires that you must do it on dev ROM and that is a reason for "stuck on 50% in unlocking".
I try all that I can think: edit boot.img file, use patch emmc_appsboot.mbn, use edited flash_all.bat and rawprogram0.xml, insert sTWRP and ZCX TWRP in fastboot ROM... and all combination of that. Did it on 7.2.5.0 and 8.0.5.0 stable and 6.8.18 dev (since its last 5.1 ROM that I have).
Most of this attempts ends with "3 stages" explained in the first post. Some just show Mi logo for few sec and restart, once even power off phone. And once I even get phone to go directly to sideload/recovery state showing picture of the phone and usb cable.
Only thing left now is to find info is there difference in accessing to EDL mode between software (reboot-edl), deep flash cable and testpoint. IMHO there is none or little difference. Since software and deep flash can be troubled with bad USB cable or connector or USB board in phone.
ive read conflicting reports.. some saying that its physically impossible on snapdragon 625 devices, and others stating that its possible on unsupported devices with specific roms. Anyone care to shed some light for me?
aptX is a proprietary codec; inclusion to a device requires the vendor to pay licensing fees to Qualcomm. So, if vendor doesn't do that, we shouldn't do it either.

Yes,it is possible. I had aptX working on nougat but it just refuses to work on oreo for some reason.
If you re on nougat just look up for aptx.zip somewhere on xda ..oneplus 3 forums if I remember corectly.
ok understood!
ive just built a nice new high end soundsystem, and included an apt-x bluetooth receiver.. would be a crying shame if my phone didnt support it. I ordered this phone 2 days ago, assuming casually that all modern bluetooth devices would support aptx.
Nope,they actually don't. There are many new/old phones(even flagships) that don't support APTX
I've got aptx working on oreo as well. You just have to flash a custom rom and then flash aptx from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-aptx-aptxhd-oreo-beta-25-16-op-3-3t-t3690363
Thanks everyone. seems positive.
one thing i dont understand. if its just a codec, which needs licensing, why do qualcomm specify it as only being supported by certain cpus?
see here under "audio technology" :
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/comparison
snapdragon 625 notably doesnt list aptx

Thanks SacredDeviL666 for moving my post at the right place.
I am experiencing the same problem on Xiaomi Redmi 6A.
$ fastboot flash recovery trwp.img
OKAY
$ fastboot boot twrp.img
boots to Xiaomi bootloader
$fastboot reboot recovery
boots to Xiaomi recovery
Can anybody assist with this issue? Thanks....
I have previously unlocked and modded several Xiaomi phones. However recently I got a MI8 and what I thought would be simple was quite problematic. Its solved now which is why I am writing this guide to help someone else in a similar situation. I'm not an expert but the issues I had could be relevant to other USB-C Xiaomi Qualcomm based phones from mid 2018 and later:
NOTES:
1) AMD Ryzen PC with B350 chipset would not connect in any fastboot mode procedure at all with Mi8 in my case. It could not unlock the phone or flash anything with fastboot. Go with Intel.
2) Use a good USB-C cable. One of mine worked for MTP transfers but did not work with fastboot stuff
3) If you get a request in TWRP to provide your password for decryption, this refers to the PIN used in Android security
4) If you have not unlocked your Xiaomi phone you must do this first before trying any of the steps below. There are many guides for this.
5) Follow the steps EXACTLY to avoid boot loops etc.
Issue 1: The commonly used ADB and Fastboot tools fail to flash TWRP recovery (Thanks to khanhdx https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=7791242)
1) It is necessary to use Xiaomi's specific version of fastboot in their miflash_unlock tool.
2) Put phone in fastboot mode and connect to PC.
3) Go into the miflash_unlock directory which was used to successfully unlock the phone
4) Put your TWRP image file in that miflash_unlock directory
5) While mouse cursor is in the directory, Right click while holding down SHIFT and select 'Open PowerShell session here'
6) Type 'cmd' then Enter
7) Type 'fastboot devices' to see if fastboot sees your device.
8) If a device code is displayed then USB drivers could be adequate so try 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' (insert actual name of img file)
9) If either no device code shows up or the recovery flash fails you will need to update USB drivers
10) First uninstall any other previously installed ADB USB drivers
11) Download Xiaomi MiFlash tool at https://www.xiaomiflash.com/ which contains drivers which work
11) Before installing the drivers with the MIFlash tool, it is recommended to boot with 'Disable Signed Driver Enforcement' enabled first. Google that if needed
12) The driver installer in MiFlash is wonky but it works. Continue to say 'Yes' to all the weird driver install warnings and long latency delays. It gets there slowly and confirms successful installation one driver at a time
13) Repeat Steps 5 through 8
14) If the above doesn't work, take a look at the driver in Windows Device Manager under Android ADB Device. It should be signed by Xiaomi not Microsoft. Also try different USB ports and/or remove other USB devices.
Issue 2: Custom ROM such as LineageOS or Pixel Experience will fail to flash in TWRP with "Error 7" stating that you don't meet the minimal Xiaomi developer firmware version requirement
1) In my case starting out with the latest Xiaomi global developer ROM and flashing the latest developer Xiaomi firmware from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/#stable did not help meet the requirement and Error #7 would not go away. According to some sources such things do happen with official Xiaomi ROM's.
2) You can do the solution mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-poco-f1-roms-t3911336 but this is a hack and not a true solution as you will have to do this every time you update the ROM, and the phone might not work right as the dev's at LineageOS and others know what they are doing when they put in those insist lines.
3) A real solution is to meet the firmware requirement by flashing the latest Xiaomi EU weekly/developer ROM (i.e. NOT official Xiaomi) from https://xiaomi.eu/community/ before flashing the custom ROM of choice (Thanks to Xiaomi EU forums)
4) Go to TWRP and wipe everything except USB OTG option. Format data! Reboot to Recovery!
5) Transfer downloaded xiaomi.eu ROM zip file to phone via MTP and install it with TWRP. Reboot to System!
6) Allow phone to initialize it's first Xiaomi boot fully. When the MiUI welcome screen comes you can stop there. Boot into fastboot mode
7) Repeat steps in 'Issue 1' above to re-flash TWRP recovery back to the phone
8) Repeat Step 4
9) Transfer custom ROM zip and optional GAPPS zip files to phone via MTP and install with TWRP.
any reasons why this flashing and fastboot doesnt work properly with amd based pc/laptop.it is really hard for me..
Hello Guys,
this is my first thread in this forum.
A few months ago I have flashed a Custom gsi Rom on my device.
The Custom Gsi Roms had many Lags like I could not make Phone calls and so on.
So i decided yesterday to back to stock.
I have downloaded the original Stock Rom for this device and tried to flash it over fastboot.
This process was sucesfull,but the device wont boot.
It stucks in a bootloop.
it only boots until this point and then it reboots everytime.
many would say try to go into fastboot or recovery.I tried that by holding the Volume Down and Power Button,but it also does not work.
The device starts only until this point and it restart agin many times.
So after hours of research in the internet,I found the Edl Mode of Xiaomi Devices and I would use this mod to flash the Stock Rom and make the device usable.
But in the internet I did not find many Information how to enter it on tnhis mobile without entering fastboot.I only know about this two mainbord Points,but I dont know where to find them on this device.
Could you please help me,guys?
