Any way to unbrick a MI A3? - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

I got impatient waiting for Android Q and flashed Pixel experience. It had too many bugs for me so I decised to flash it back to stock.... and dont know what happened but now all it will do is boot to fastboot screen, and whin I give fastboot commands I just get a failed error saying that it's in a locked state. I took off back cover and shorted the pinouts to get into EDL mode, but when I try to flash the stock ROM it checks for EDL authentication and I get a not authorized error. Really frustrated, what else can I try? any suggestions would be helpful. Also I am in the US so a service center isnt an option. Hoping someone has an authorized MI account to help me out, I have a $50 google play card to anyone whos willing to do that. Thanks.

Already read those threads. Fastboot commands are useless as I can only reboot into fastboot or get info... it wont allow me to change slots or push anything or unlock bootloader. Thus I took off back of phone and used the EDL pinouts to get into EDL mode (9008). When I try to flash in EDL mode I get a not authorized error. I need someone with an authorized Mi account or a hacked version of Mi flash.

I cant help you more.i am stock from the start. No root not unlock .

Xiaomi released the stock rom with errors that caused this, im pretty ****in pissed off!

I don't have a personal experience, but you could try contacting this member who seems to have an authorized mi account - https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5189577. I'm sending you the link to his e-shop by private message as it's going to be deleted by mods here. Price should be around 10USD.

just send me a message in telegram:
i fix my problem

Q - Mi account locked phone

So, guys, my gf as a typical non geek gf managed to factory reset the phone and now she's unable to remember the log-in credentials in order to make it usable, so the phone is stuck on the familiar screen "this device is locked"
Phone is not hard bricked, is only locked by bootloader and the Xiaomi account.
Is this lock IMEI-based ? Is it bypass-able ?
Should I try to buy a dev acc and flash it through EDL - Test Point or it won't unlock unless we log-in with the bound account ?
Should I sell it to the local repair shop in order to be used for parts?
What should I do ?
Thanks in advance.
Login Mi.com , login, check your info (email, number and ID), If the phone ask ID, copy the ID from the account info. If password lost, reset password and put email. If it say can't connect network, flash ROM with miflash . There is many video on youtube. just search "Locked Mi Account" on youtube. And there is a guides on XDA guides.
final and simple solution?
flash the fastboot rom using miflash.
everything will be reset/ all data will be lost /phone will be factory reset
I tried flashing it but needs to log in to a dev account in order to flash it guys ... That's what I'm asking is that I'm aware of purchasing and flashing via fastboot and the whole procedure because of ANTI RB in my own Xiaomi, but will fastboot flashing via EDL and purchasing a dev account will solve the problem or it'll be flashed normally and when booted and connected to internet will lock up again??

you are just thinking to much... it doesnt ask dev account! simply flash the beryllium fastboot rom of atleast miui10.2.x global stable (2.6gb) via miflash tool released may2018. and skip the buttom LOCK from bottomRIGHT...
also
- poco don't have ARB Sh!t, so don't worry
- EDL cannot be done (unless you know how to remove the backpanel to short / test points and have authorize Xiaomi Account)

It won't flash because it needs edl authentication ... What I'm asking is that buying an authorized account will solve my problem or will successfully flash the phone and then ask again for mi account authentication...
I have the same issues,please tell me if you fix it ?

Flashing stock ROM for Mi A3 from EDL mode

Hi,
The Xiaomi Mi A3 is an Android One phone, is an authorized Xiaomi account necessary to flash the official ROM from EDL mode when the bootloader is locked?
The Mi A1 and A2 / Lite phones also Android One, don't require an authorized account in the same case, what's the difference with the Mi A3, perhaps the elf programmer file?

(Dlet?)
go to Fastboot mode & unlock
go to EDL mode using command :
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing critical_unlock
fastboot oem edl
My phone went into bootloop without any hacking/modding. I ended up EDL but whenever I flash I get a unauthorized from the flash tool.

Same thing happened to me, you need an authorized Mi account to flash in EDL mode. I had to connect remotely to someone who had an authorized Mi account to unbrick it.

hello.
if you were so kind to provide who was your contact? i have the same error and like to unbrick it too.
it just boot to fastboot mode (the one with the rabbit and the android).
thanks in advance for your comments.
Hi, I am facing similar issue as my phone is also in the fastboot mode.
Xiaomi is telling to contact their service center but in the current scenario, this is not possible.
Can you suggest how to get some OS installed so that my phone is unbricked.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
The problem is, i had never enable USB debugging. So no tool seems to be working.
The issue occured when i received an OTA update for Android 10 and my phone went into restart mode.
There it got stuck on the fastboot screen.
I dont know if this occured due to it having being connected to charger at that point of time.
Anyways, is there any alternate option considering the USB debugging is not enabled and neither is the bootloader unlocked.

Poco F1 Brick Fastboot

Guys, after wrongly flashing a rom my phone was on FastBoot, it was corrected by a technician who I believe used the edl flash with auth, but if you update the system version it goes back to brick on fastboot. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Please describe the current status of your device. If your device is unlocked, you can enter fastboot and flash with miflash. If your device is not unlocked, please go to the after-sales service for help, or you need to pay to request a merchant with an edl account to help you flash the phone

beacuse you tried flashing with locked bootloader. Only hope is service center. or MSM download tool. Some guys are selling code for 3-10 USD. I dont have contact. So dont PM me.
I've already unlocked bootloader. Pc doesn't seem to detect it. I don't know what to do. Only if I can enter edl mode, maybe I can flash it once again
