My cousin got me this phone from China. According to him, the phone model is Coolpad 7296.
The first problem seems to be that the phone is actually different from the official Coolpad 7296, which is shown in the first attached image. But my phone looks more like the second attached image. I have the link for both phones the official site and a online seller selling a phone 99% like mine while claiming it to be a Coolpad 7296. I can't post the links due to the forum policy requiring me to have a least 10 posts. In other words, there is a very good possibility that my phone is not a legit Coolpad or it may be a variation of the Coolpad 7296.
When i first wanted to unlock the bootloader to root my phone, it was impossible. After booting to fastboot mode, any fastboot command would get stuck. For example, if i did the following:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
It would get stuck and only show:
Code:
...

Click to collapse
Or if i tried erasing the user data:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
It would get stuck and only show:
Code:

Later, I was able to root the phone via a Chinese app which literately translate to "Baidu One Click ROOT". After some playing, i tried to flash the phone via fastboot, then i literally broke the recovery mode. Most likely, the recovery partition was damaged. After more playing around, i broke the system image. I was still able to boot to fastboot mode back then. Afterwards, i broke fastboot mode as well.
After some time, i was able to install the VCOM Preloader USB Drivers by disabling the digital signatures required for installing the drivers in Windows 8. Then, I flashed the phone using the SP Flash Tool and an official ROM of Coolpad 7296 manufacturer. I am able to turn on the phone and the screen would light up in a black blank screen. The computer is able to recognize the phone via USB and i am able to use ADB commands as well as ADB Shell on it. In addition, i downloaded a program called 刷机精灵, which is a ROM flash tool for Chinese phones. This program is able to show exactly what was supposed to be showing on my phone screen. If i press the Power Button, it shows the phone's pop up window asking for if i want to power-off, reboot or put in airplane-mode. The screenshot is shown in the third attached image.
Sorry for the long post but i thought it would help if i told the whole process. Now are the real questions:
1) I never backed up my phone. So, i can't get it back to the original ROM i had. I wonder if it is possible that the screen doesn't work because the phone doesn't have the right radio image with the proper drivers. I mean, I could assume that the phone is a variation of the current official Coolpad 7296, and it is not compatible with the current official ROM.
2) Or, what are the chances that i burned my screen by charging the phone when the recovery and system images were dead. At that time, the phone could only work on fastboot mode and i left it charging overnight. Next day, the phone camera was extremely hot. And i am not sure if fastboot mode was dead first or the screen stopped showing stuff first.
3) Right now, the phone cannot reboot to neither recovery or fastboot mode (no matter how much i try with the ADB reboot or power & vol key press methods). I believe that the possibility of a somewhat incompatible phone radio, recovery and fastboot images are the cause of my current problem. So, i wonder if anybody have the same phone and know a compatible ROM.
Edit: I also want to mention, that i tried to flash the phone with other official Coolpad ROMs too. The only one that were flashable ere Coolpad 7295 and 7296. When i flash it with Coolpad 7295, i have the same problem plus the phone cannot see my SD Card. On the other hand, when i flash it with Coolpad 7296, i recognizes my SD Card. I have confirmed this via ADB shell and i can see my old files in the SD Card too.
Edit2: Another things i wanted to mention was that when i entered to fastboot mode in the past, the device id was mt6589_phone_720pv2 which means the cpu must have been a mt6589 chipset. However, i remember that when i ran a phone hardware app, it showed that the CPU was a 2.0Ghz mt6592 which was weird. And when i check online, mt6589 the CPU freequency is 1.2Ghz. On the other hand, documents online show that mt6592 has 2.0Ghz frequency but it is a octa core. My phone is definitively a quadcore.
I found a working ROM. It says it is for Coolpad 8750 but it is identical to my original ROM. The irony is that when i download the ROM of Coolpad 8750 from the official site, it doesn't work with my phone.

Just as I was about start a new thread asking for help rooting this damn thing after hours of frustration, the search for similar threads option in the title box sent me here. Man I can't thank you enough! mulțumesc! :good:
Who knew a random Chinese rooting app would succeed where just about everything else failed. Installed it, rebooted, installed SuperSU...victory. Again thanks a bunch.
Oh btw like the OP mentioned, any idea which CWM works for this phone and a flash tool to get the job done? This phone doesn't seem to have proper drivers like the ones say Sony PC Companion would install which gets Device Manager to recognize the phone as say "Micromax A092" or something like that and not just as Android ADB Interface under Android Devices. This might be the reason why adb/fastboot doesn't detect the phone when connected in fastboot mode. Any further help truly appreciated too.
PS: OP/second poster, if you are still looking for a way to root your phones, there's a English version of Vroot to simplify things further..not that the Chinese version was much trouble to begin with. You are probably gonna end up installing SuperSU afterwards anyways. Please update this thread if you find a CWM compatible with this phone and a tool to proceed with the flashing.
Tried all things but no success
I used many softwares like oneclickroot, unlockroot. Unlockroot pro but it still not rooted then i try manual rooting with adb but any exploit and any file not pushing to data/local/tmp it gives an error read only file system pls help
I'm glad I could help ! On my phone debug mode enabled , without battery , hold Volume Down and then insert USB cable enters in fastboot mode ! For flasing original software micromax a092 use a " 8x10_fastboot_all_images.bat " file whitch looks like this : @ECHO off

Dude read my previous post will you? It was meant for you. Use Vroot. Its what worked for diaconu.silviu and its what's rooted my A092. If the Chinese version is a tad confusing, just download the English version and get rooting.

Hey man thanks again for the info. I'll look into it and get back to you if I don't understand something.
Wait...hang one...you need to remove the battery to get into fastboot mode?? How's the phone to boot up w/o a battery?
Anyhoo the method mentioned to get my phone into fastboot mode is to press the Volume Down key + the Power button for a while till the Micromax logo pops up and then connect via USB. It just sits there displaying the logo looking like the phone is hung but its apparently supposed to be in fastboot mode.
But you seem my problem is that while the phone is supposedly in fastboot mode, when I open up a command prompt in the adb/fastboot folder and type : fastboot devices, it doesn't detect anything. The phone does show up under Android Devices in Device Manager but fastboot ain't recognizing it.
Does your phone show up in Device Manager as anything other than an Android ADB Interface? Like say your phone model no. or something else. I get the feeling its not being recognized because there are no proper drivers for it.
Also what's the amount of RAM on your phone? 512mb or 1GB? Thanks again man :good:
Unfortunately for me ...only 512MB ! Here is how Device Manager see my phone (debug + charging mode only ) .
-With battery : Vol UP +Power button = standard recovery
-Without battery : Vol Down + Insert USB cable = fastboot mode ( logo Allview on screen...nothing else )

Aaah I think you might have the equivalent of a Micromax Unite Engage A091. Its basically the same phone with half the RAM and memory. Rest of the specs are just about the same. Tell me are you running Jelly Bean 4.3 or Kit Kat 4.4 cause the A091 ships out here with a Kit Kat OS. Maybe that could clear some doubts.
Recovery mode is the same as yours i.e Vol UP + Power Button but I don't understand your description of getting into fastboot mode. How on earth will you get to the logo screen/fastboot if there's no battery in your phone? Still went ahead and tried it...doesn't work for me. The only way I can get into fastboot mode is by pressing the Volume Down + Power buttons and yes like you said it sits at the Micromoax/Allview logo screen but it certainly doesn't show up as Android Composite ADB Interface like in the image you posted...just Android ADB Interface.
Think i'll give this Moborobo a try...maybe it will help me out too.
Not a total newbie as I have rooted/unlocked/flashed/customized a X10 mini pro and a Xperia M but there's just little to no info about this particular phone that I hit a dead end with the rooting process till I happened upon your post and now I have to find a workaround for this fastboot problem. Yeah done a lot...a lot of reading (my bookmarks seem never ending ) on this great site plus many others.
About your CWM installation, why don't you download & install ROM Manager.apk and use that download and install the CWM compatible with your phone? There's no net connection on my phone yet and I haven't got around to reverse tethering my phone so I can use my broadband connection on it so I can't confirm but if I get it done before you, I'll let you know.

I tried every and I do mean every version of Framaroot...no dice. The Gandalf exploit that's need to root Qualcomm powered devices just refused to show up for some reason and the strange thing is that 24 hours ago, I had used it (version 1.6.1 I think it was) to root an Xperia M but no matter which version I installed on the A092, all it displayed was the Aragorn exploit which I believe is what is required to root Samsung phones. Also doesn't the Micromax A116 use a MediaTek processor? If I was doing something wrong, do let me know so I can avoid circumvent this situation in the future.

Which version did you use? The Chinese or English one? Because the Chinese one seems to be a newer version if I am not mistaken. I feel your frustration man, I spent an entire night trying to root the damn thing and Vroot was the only thing that worked for me. What operating system are you running? Have you manually installed the Google USB/Micromax drivers?

Sorry man...nothing yet. I have been at it for a couple of days but no luck so far. ROM Manager says there's no supported version of CWM and since I haven't been able to get this thing detected in fastboot mode, flashing via command prompt is out of the question. Hope someone else can come to out aid with a working solution. Will update this thread if I manage to flash it.
Pls post the process of rooting

If you are telling me even Vroot didn't work for you, then I am afraid I might be out of suggestions. Did you try Kinguser which worked for the other guy?
Anyhoo unless you tell me exactly what's going wrong for you with Vroot, there's only so much troubleshooting I can do for you. You say its not working for you but you fail to mention which step of the rooting procedure in halting your progress. Basic but essential questions -
Have you switched on USB Debugging mode?
Is Vroot detecting your phone?
Did you follow the link in diaconu.silviu's post, the 3rd post in this thread and follow the exact steps given in that link? Because that's what worked for me.
Also you still haven't answered my question asking you whether you have installed USB drivers or which operating system you are running on your PC. If you are on Win 8, you need to disable driver signature to be able to install the drivers necessary for rooting. Follow this procedure -
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorial...abling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8
After that take a look at this tutorial for driver installation and do exactly what it says in case you haven't done it - http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/android/usbdebug/manualinstall.php
Give more information to people regarding your situation next time...posting a couple of lines saying this app or that ain't working your you isn't gonna help me or anyone else help you.
I used the same way
I used the same way phone conmecting with adb and show up in vroot as A092 When i click on root button it takes 15 To 20 Min. & after that vroot show retry button i tried it many time but no success

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!!!!

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.

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.

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 ?
Hi !
I've attempted to deal with the devil by trying to root my Pioneer XDP-300R resulting in a bootloop problem (device is stuck on "Powered by Android" screen).
I attempted to flash a boot.img for a Onkyo DX-P1 (which is the same firmware), and still I haven't progressed.
No firmware, update or imgs are provided on Pioneer's website.
I still have access to fastboot (OEM is LOCKED, so I can't boot TWRP and such) in bootloader mode and adb push (no shell) in recovery mode.
Do you guys have any idea how to sort it out ?
Edit :
I managed to make my device go into Qualcomm's emergency download mode.
Here's how to :
1 - Make sure the device is completely off and unplugged from USB.
2 - Install QPST V2.7.474 (not enough posts to share url, but I can PM it).
3 - Install QDLoader Drivers (same as #2).
4 - Simply press and hold the "Play" button while connecting it to your computer, the device manager should see a "Qualcomm 9008 port" listed in Ports while the player's screen stays black.
5 - Do the Carlton (important step !)
Now, if anyone possessing a FUNCTIONAL AND ROOTED Pioneer XDP-300r is reading this and willing to help, can you get in touch with me ?
Together, we could manage to save all the other devices from soft-bricking.
All I would need from you is some time, hard disk space and patience to sort it out.
Please <insert_your_name_here>, you're my only hope !
Edit #2 :
Thanks to minotauri's great help, we managed to get a FULL rom backup, split the partitions to files and generate all the files needed for QFIL.
ErrOzz has been given access to this, hoping that he'll try it out soon.
If that works, I'll link you the files and write the walkthrough to bring you DAP back to life.
minotauri's contributions are not in rest tho, he managed to also successfuly patch TWRP for the device, so anyone can securely flash things from there now.
For anyone reading this thread : you're not the only one who screwed things up, we did too but we might have the cure. Hang in there !

Hi - I saw your post on Head-Fi (antdroid over there). Let me look into this!
Here is a bunch of system dump images and qcn files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1diqQ8LE-yG4b-WZFB_OPcQp2rDUp9BbV?usp=drive_open
Hello.
How can I write boot from qdload 9008 state?
Hi !
From the edl / qdload 9008 state, you can't afaik.
Here's how I think you can :
1 - Unplug your device from USB and power it off from whatever state it is.
2 - Power it on pressing Power + Previous button (keep holding, you should be "stuck" on the penguin logo).
3 - Connect your USB.
4 - Check that you have a Android ADB Device in your device manager (install drivers manually if you have an Unknown device).
5 - Grab any fastboot from the internet if you don't already have it (I'll PM you my gdrive, it's there for exemple).
6 - From CMD, go to fastboot directory. (cd <my_folder_with_fastboot>).
7 - Type in : fastboot devices
If fastboot sees your device, you're on the good path, else, check your driver / connection / reboot to fastboot "penguin" state.
8 - Type in : fastboot oem device-info
If it replies
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
among others, you're in a good, good way, else, you're screwed by now, but we are working on it.
9 - If all the precedent are fulfilled type :
fastboot flash boot <my_boot_image.img>
10 - Mandatory Carlton.
I hope you'll be in the right path all the way, if you're stuck somewhere or if your bootloader is locked, please let me know.
Cheers !

Hi,
I have the same problem. I am able to get qdload 9008 state from here now. However, after unplug and followed grogcw's hints, the device is not recognized again. Also, the device hasn't ennobled debug mode before too. All the adb and fastboot commands return no device.
Hopefully can get more help here.

Is there anyway to flash TWRP and so with QDLoader?
I believe he is on vacation for another week and half. If you haven't enabled the bootloader unlock option within Android, then my recovery method may not work since it may not let you flash the recovery.
You can try to fastboot boot recovery.img though
Hi ! I'm back from vacation, but I still haven't my device around.
Any user willing to test are welcome to reply or PM me !
Let's have all the bricked units working, shall we

How can we get started?
We actually did start probing stuff around, and we are missing something in the "full restoration process", so we're stuck for now.
Sahara protocol still is a mystery for us, and we can't get pass an error.
I think we don't actually have the right programmer_firehose.mbn for our device, but if it's not this, I'm basically out of ideas. (we might need an "QFIL expert" on this)
I still don't have my device around and feeling dumb about this.
Anyway, all the files and tools required to try probing around are in my gdrive and I can PM the link (as I still can't post it right away) if anyone is interested.
Thanks for trying to help or actually help everyone !

i was able to unbrick my device
dantuko said:
all credits go to anthony nguyen aka minotauri. Thank you!
requirements:
samsung drivers installed
windows 10 (i have the windows 10 pro installed)
oem unlock
usb debbuging selected prior to brick
install the latest samsung drivers
install fastboot/adb drivers
stock-boot.img provided by minotauri
the steps are as follows:
the device must be in recovery mode an plugged to the computer. I was on stock recovery
open device manager in windows, look for anything android and delete it and choose to delete the drivers
refresh device manager for new devices (keep only the xdp-300 android connected)
right click on the android device and click on update drivers
select browse my computer for driver software
click on let me pick from a list of available drivers
unselect show compatible drivers (if you see a samsumg driver here, select it. If not try generic windows adb drivers)
seletct google adb drivers (this is the one that worked and it's under samsung drivers)
i performed the steps 1 through 8 a few times until the computer categorized the device as adb
open a command prompt, navigate to the directory where fastboot is installed and type: Fastboot devices (you should have a device listed here)
type: Fastboot oem unlock (this unlocks the bootloader)
after copying stock-boot.img to the root of the your fastboot directory, type: Fastboot flash boot stock-boot.img (reboot)
after the reboot you should see normal boot
if you want twrp and root follow the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/pioneer-xdp-300r-digital-audio-player-t3902949 all credits go to anthony nguyen.
i installed twrp the latest supersu pro, viper4android, root browser, busy box pro and everything works perfectly.
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:good luck to you e n j o y ! ! !:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
i am not an android programmer so i won't be able to help you from that perspective, but i a software engineer so i maybe able to answer some questions.
There is no guarantee this method will work for you but it did work for me

Here is a few items to note about the image:
You must have twrp installed and accessible in order to restore this image.
First time booting after the restore will take a long time, so have a cup of coffee and let it do it's thing.
Every time you boot the OS will perform application optimization, it doesn't bother me so I have not even looked into it.
After you boot connect to your WIFI and open Google Play to set up your account
If you want to use Viper4Android, download and install busybox, then open settings, go to apps and disable Musicfx, then reboot and turn Viper4Android on.
Good luck

You need to change settings in twrp not to check md5 checksum, if it doesn't work then i'll create one with checksum.
Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.

In China, this Phone is called Nubia Play, and the Global version is called Redmagic 5G Lite,
but the mobile phone model is NX651J. Generally speaking, the two are only the difference in ROM.
This is the edl firmware of Nubia Play,CN version.which can repair your phone in edl mode.
All the files are from the official package without any modification!
How to do?
1.Open XiaoMiFlash.exe in the MiFlash folder
2.Click the select button to select the images in this firmware
3.The phone enters edl mode and connects to the computer with a usb cable
（If your phone is in edl mode (9008 mode) for a long time, you must long press the
power button volume + and volume-keys to force the phone to power off, and then re-enter edl mode）
4.Click Loading and see the COMxx that appears, indicating that your phone is connected. Then click Flash
5.Then just wait, prompting flash done！sucess! It means that the flashing has been completed,
long press the power button to restart the phone!
When you see the green notification light next to the front camera light up,
you can release the power button.
Good luck！Enjoy it！！！

Why do I use scarlet letter when I use flash
The brick tool has worked on a few occasions ,thank you for that but now I need more help or suggestions, when playing between the Spain ROM and China version I lost the baseband and IMEI.Then I thought,locking the bootloader back would help obviously it did not work. Now even though I flashed the unbrick tool though miflasher edl mode I am stuck with a blank screen after the Nubia logo and port Qualcomm 900e in Windows device manager.
Tried already via recovery to flash an update China version or Spain version they flashed fine however still same scenario after Nubia logo.
Not sure what my options are.
Does this work for updating or just brick?

@johnny886
Thank you for the tool.Just wondering if there is a version for Android 11 as i updated to 3.16 android 11 firmware via the usb and now I get your device is corrupt.
Obviously my problem dates back to unlocking and then relocking the bootloader which somehow bricked the phone. Even though before relocking the tool worked once the bootloader was locked the phone wasn't able to boot into system but I was not getting the device is corrupt.
I am hoping for a way to unlock the bootloader or to be able to get back into the system to tick the option in the developer settings hence I am keeping my hope for an updated unbrick tool.
I donwload the file and uncompress it, when select the folder with XiaoMiFlash is shows "could't find flash script".
There are no flash_all.bat file on folder
any help, where is that file?
(mega interrupt the download process)
@ecatombe1234
In my case said the same with regards the script but had flashed fine once started.
Just be careful if you have the bootloader unlocked do not lock it again with the fastboot flash lock.
Thanks for you, really soon, response.
Yes, I try, put phone in edl mode, refresh, flash, and recive [... COM8]:ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE 0
@ecatombe1234
Usually this is down to the drivers used for Qualcomm Edl mode. Have you installed them ?
Is the EDL mode phone recognized in the device manager as Qualcomm??
Yes, I have correct drivers, I restored the phone last year, but not now.
Xiaomi tool detects phone in bootloader and in edl mode.
Windows detect phone in edl mode as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM8).
I tried with QFiL too, but I am not sure the config to work qith this, because it detect mobile in edl mode.
Any way, Xiaomi tool has very few config options, I can's understand the "could't find flash script", can any one give us ligth about this error?
It was xiaomi flash tool version, I tried a lot, finally this one works, it is the only one that works with corrupted android 11 version.

Thank you for the version even though this version got me a bit further in a Chinese testing menu still couldn't boot into system .
Must be something to do with the relocking of the bootloader.
Helo guys.. How can I downgrade from android 11 back to android 10 on this device? I recently updated my software but It is not stable yet. Certain apps for example PUBG mobile keep crashing whenever I try to launch it.

I've been following your discussion on this thread and had the same problem after ota update to 3.16.
I also had initially difficulty flashing with MiFlash but finally it worked.
I immediately pressed the flash after entering EDL mode
My phone flashed and entered the Chinese mode. I then went to bootloader by hard pressing the power button and Vol down key.
In bootloader I entered recovery which allowed me to update using OTG. I used a flash with USB C and loaded the phone with NX651J v 22 and my phone is back to the previous settings.
