PLEASE HELP!! Bootloop exist even after flashing with EDL test point method - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

So my phone just got stuck while normal usage. Tried restarting and the phone began boot looping.
Did plenty of research and finally decided to flash. Tried to flash using mi flash in fastboot mode but failed then google search made me realise my bootloader was locked. Did more research and decided to flash using test point EDL method.
Things went pretty well and the flash (miui v8) and the process became successful and when I powered my device the phone went back to boot loop again.
Tried flashing again and the result was the same.
It would be really helpful if somebody could actually help clear the issue. Did pretty much everything I could do as a newbie to flashing.
thank you!

How is ur phone being recognised in mi flash tool?
A serial number appears or something else like "com_port" appears?

If it recognises ur phone like that then flashing does nothing to ur phone so the only way is to go into edl mode and then flashing
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ool-redmi-note-4-edl-mode-o-removing-t3684024
Use this tool to go into edl mode and then flash
This thread can help ,because i bricked my phone once without unlocking the bootloader and the miflashtool recognised my phone like how it recognised urs and this thread saved my phone
Good luck

Bricked my Note 3...

Hi,
i also brocked my Note 3...
After updating with SP Flash tools 1516 my phone does not show any sign of life...
I flashed the last chinese stable from xiaomi and SP flash finished with the green hook
Now the phone does not boot, the screen is black and if connected to the charger there is
no red light and i dont know if it charges at all
I can still repeat flashing the phone but to no avail. Connecting the phone to
usb while holding VOL +, Vol - and power there is "connecting and disconnecting"
sound from WIN7.
However Miflash does not recognize the phone anymore.
Could it be that there is a problem with the locked bootloader ?
I read some threads on Mi4 phones where they had to shorten some testpoints on the motherboard
to get the phone back to life, maybe there is a similar way for the Note 3?
I already did a lot of successfull flashing with other phones so i didnt expect any sort of problems....
Any help is really appreciated !!
Greetings
Joachim
Same problem here
Redmi Note 3 came with some unoffical multi language ROM preinstalled (7.00.11.00)
OTA did not work, downloading update onto the phone and updating via Update-App did not work either, so there was no other way than using SP Flashtool to get some official ROM on it
Downloaded official 7.0.19.0 and loaded it into SP Flashtool => Flashing went without any fault (green hook at the end) but phone doesnt do anything since then
You should untick the first option in flashtool (preloader). I had the same problem once. Here is a video which helped me and saved me device. Follow the instructions and you'll be ok. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3TmXtOA0IA

It was a big mistake selecting "format all" option. Now everything inside your phone is deleted (including IMEI). Big problem. Who suggested you to do this?

I was in the same boat as you. The only way to revive my RN3 was to select format and download otherwise it would not turn on. I then experienced the no imei issue as you are. When I did was follow a guide which I got from en.miui.com under tips and tutorials for Redmi Note 3 where it says to permanent fix imei and worked. I never lose my imei now

Did you use Sp flash tool?, if yes You should tick all except preloader. You will have to wait 5-15mins for the phone to boot up.

When i flashed the Evolution X Rom to Stock rom It Got Failed And My Device Is Not Turning ON.
Whenever I Tried To Install stock Rom using mi flash tool It Is Saying "Cannot Recieve Hello Packet" & write time out,maybe device was disconnected Please Help ME To Fix
The device is off?
Try to hold volume down and up at the same time and connect the usb cable to see if going to EDL mode.
If going to EDL mode you can flash a stock rom from edl with miflash.

Is not completly true... When the edl error "... Hello packet" appear is impossible. I also recived it when i tryed to make mia3-cce9 conversion. I retry many times but no success. Qualcomm port works, miflash connection works... But it's impossible to flash. I have searched every where on internet without succes. For me only fastboot flashing mode work. Not edl... I think this hello package is a software restriction of xiaomi. But i don't understand why some devices can bypass it and other fails
A question: you can enter in fastboot? I'm not sure you have try. Is the more simply solution. It's improbably that evolutionx had erase the bootloader... Connect phone to pc, then press power+vol- if you will see the xiaomy avatar.. you can recover the system. An advice for you: before flash a custom rom read with attention the guide. I suppose you haven't do this. And your modding level is low...

What you wrote is not good... I don't know unloock tool. But before use this applications is necessary read carefully the instructions. It seems you didn't have do this. Good luck. Ps: if your phone boot into fastboot reflash stock via miflash... If you don't have made a big damage it will work. Very import is select the correct slot before flash... In my case i always select slot a to make a clean and safe installation

Sorry if you have damage bootloader (so fastboot don't work), the only way is edl. But i don't know how to solve edl flash fail. You had ask to other user, or search with Google. Or i'm afraid for you... Buy new phone. For the future if you want modding... Do it carefully

Sorry no. You have the bootloader unlocked... If your restore via edl will fail, in my opinion the best choice is buy a new phone. I don't know in your country. considerating that motheborard is not damaged... But phone must be open... The minum cost of this repair i think could be 100 € (convert in your currency). On YouTube there are a lot of tutorial how to do by yourself... But i'm not shure you have all skills...

Repairing cost around 10dollars . In India repairing cost is low but the price of mobile phones and spare parts are too high due to tax.

Help! Realme 7 red state Problem

Hi fellow developers.
So,my story is quite weird and expected indeed.
Being the noob I am at flashing custom roms and recoveries,I flashed orange fox recovery on my device,even flashed a custom rom and managed to use it for about 3/4 hours.
Then I thought that my device was ready, all my changes work,and it is a good idea to relock my bootloader.So,without flashing the stock recovery back,I relocked my bootloader.
After reboot,my device is stuck on "Red state" and keeps on rebooting after every 5 secs. I can't even boot to fastboot mode,nor can I completely shut down my device.
So any ideas what can I do? Do I need to go to the service center? If yes,what would they do and how much would they charge?
Thank you!.

Not that only you should have the stock recovery to relock bootloader, you should need to return completely to stock to can relock it safely.
Follow this guide carefully https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/repair-dead-hard-bricked-realme-3-3i-tutorial.4224255/ replace all the files needed when it comes to your specific model.

For future reference, NEVER re-lock the bootloader when your phone isn't 100% stock. The guide SubwayChamp linked above should work.

I didn't bring it to the repair center, in my country no one knows about. IDK which the price could be, maybe 40 buckets.
