How many times can the terminal be flashed? - Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question

I've flashed 30 times and I'm worried about bricking.

As far as my experience goes... it doesnt have a number of times it can be flashed...
I flashed my Mi a1 hundreds of times and it was never an issue... but that its just from my experience.

Don't worry about bricking your phone. Flashing is simply deleting and writing new files to the phone's memory. You can do it until the memory (hardware) dies. Which is a hec of a long time. It can be done tens of thousands of times if not more.

Redmi Note 3 Pro SE (Kate) - can not bind device to account

I flashed my phone with kate_global_images_7.5.19_20170519.0000.00_6.0_global in order to unlock the bootloader via mi unlock. The phone has successfully connected to mi cloud and can be located on the i.mi.com website. If I go into developer options and tap on the button to bind the phone to my account for unlocking it just keeps telling me to try again in another couple of minutes. This seems to be a really common problem and I haven't been able to find a solution. Any ideas? Thanks.
Same here. Been waiting for 5 days now after getting permission. Still fails to bind. This whole official unlock way is a total POS. It even says after you are granted permission you can unlock right away but that's not true at all. I also have SE and dev rom btw.
maybe try to flash miui 8 via fastboot..
i used fastboot rom miui 8 , miflash (not xiaomiflash) ver 2016, and unlock ver 1.1..

MIUI 8 what? The dev rom 7.x is MIUI 8. Do you mean dev or stable? I was on MIUI 8 stable before but it didn't help.
my issues, evrytime i flashed miui rom, my imei isn't showing up (i need to official unlock to flash lastest los)
i tried some rom dev 7.x.x.x , but i cant login mi account via wifi.
then, i flashed this rom with miflash 2016 (mine is kenzo)
http://en.miui.com/thread-439892-1-1.html
and it works, i can unlock my phone without imei..

I think the "can not bind" problem is specific to Kate. The IMEI problem with your Kenzo phone is probably a separate issue.

Thanks for the reply but I need to have the latest dev ROM to allow LineageOS to flash - it checks for the most recent firmware.

Yes i know.first you use the older version miui to unlock the bootloader.after that just reflash to latest dev rom.make sure you checked CLEAN ALL.it will not lock your bootloader.

I thought of that but I couldn't get the phone to boot into recovery - Power and Vol+ opened a screen with a picture of the phone with a cable being plugged into it rather than recovery

Doesn't work - complains that the deivice isn't bound to the account
There is no point trying anything. Nothing works. I have a 3 month long email chain with xiaomi support, which ended by them saying I should contact the direct seller. Basically they washed their hands. I ended up sending my device to a guy, who has a xiaomi service licence, and he managed to unlock it officially with his code.
If you cannot bind your account and device for two weeks with multiple tries, you should just give up on the "mainstream" unlock procedure. It will never work, and the only thing that comes out of it is slowly bulding rage.
It's not worth it.

Sounds like good advice. My Note 4 has arrived now so I think I'll just flash the stock MIUI ROM & ebay it.

help! signal drops

I upgraded to nitrogen os 8.0 few weeks back. all going ok but flashed firmware update few days back and continually getting signal drops. the signal does not hold for longer than few minutes then disappears and comes back while later. Every rom I have tried since suffers from the same issue.
I have tried to flash miui 8 and miui 9 but although they eventually flash they stay on bootscreen (poweredby android screen) and never load. I left it overnight on that screen and never loaded?
Any help greatly appreciated. any help of any kind :crying:

Having the same problem of signal drops in evry single rom. Its really bad to see developers not doing anything about it. And regarding that flashing, if u flash official miui by official twrp, then it will not boot. U have to use modified twrp to flash the official firmwares.

Developers have nothing to do with network drops, its Xiaomi sources.

No solution till now. Getting frequent internet disconnects. The only thing which is keeping me in the custom rom is the adoptable storage , cause m using the standard variant 16gb and its internal storage sucks.
For twrp, refer here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708
same issues here, running LOS official with default kernel, had the same problem always. I thought it might be antenna related as I had to order a new usb daughterboard due to poor microphone, (had reception issues with a note1 in the past due to a fake usb board lacking gsm antenna) but I think this is not the case here. Always updating the latest firmware hoping that can help but so far not.

Hi guys hope you are safe.......
So i have been trying to flash a custom recovery to my mido.Since MIUI replaces the custom one with stock recovery after booting we have to boot to recovery from fastboot(right?).But the sad thing is my power button is not working.So is there any other way to boot to recovery from fastboot other than fastboot boot recovery.img.
I've learnt that fastboot boot doesnt work for new MIUI(tried it).So..Have i got any hope or will i have to wait until the lockdown is over to get my power button fixed.
Thanks

Hello Sir,
I am using Redmi Note 4 (nikel) MiUi 10.2, Android ver 6.0, Bootloader unlocked and install twrp. Yesterday, I am trying to upgrade from recovery method. In this case, before install firmware I was backup Boot, System, and Data. After backup I was wipe Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Cache, Cust. Than I was installed firmware and successfully upgrade. Than rebooted deviec. But my device looped in boot.
Because I was wiped cust partition without backup. If any one using same device redmi note 4 nikel and installed twrp please backup this cust patition and upload to restore. I cant flash from fastboot because I can't use PC. So this is only way to recovery. Can anyone help me please.

Dead/bricked infinix hot 4 pro (x556)

A friend of mine gave me a rooted infinix X556 (Hot 4 Pro) to unroot for him
I actually had in mind to just flash it, knowing well that it'll take care of both the rooting and ROM issues.
But in the process checking the root, I got to know that TWRP Recovery was used for the rooting.
I later got it successfully unrooted, and I tried to get rid of the TWRP by flashing just only the Recovery, but it wasn't just going through.
My friend collected the phone and was using it, Having been wiped with TWRP.
But after some days later, he came back with the phone, as it can only boot to the TWRP (It was even showing in the TWRP that NO OS Installed). He got the phone into that situation by trying to use TWRP to do a factory reset.
So, when I later collected phone, The initial OS version that actually came with the phone was X556-H371A-N-170926V157.
But I successfully flashed X556-H371A1-M-160906V70 MT6737M, using flashtool 5.1640, After the flashing, the phone couldn't power on again, and that's where the bulk of the problem is now.
Now it seems the phone to have been bricked, Guys, Please, how can I succesfully unbrick it and bring it back to life?
Thanks in advance.

Well, I thank God I didn't relent on my own effort by not giving up on the phone as you have already condemned it.
I later used Infinix Flash tool to flash the same firmware I flashed with SP flash tool, and now the phone is up and running well.
So, please, I'll urge you not to be too quick to jump into conclusions.

Wow That's some serious effort by you, but the situation you made, confirmed that your phone was hard bricked!
As far as my knowledge went I considered the following facts mentioned on Quora.com and confirmed that your device is HARD BRICKED!
QUORA said:
Hard Brick: All your device does is showing you a black or grey screen and keeps vibrating without any display.
Sometimes all you see is the RED charging light, and nothing else on the screen.

What I only observed is that it's like the Infinix Flash Tool is a bit better than the normal SP Flash tool, because the same firmware I flashed, which made the phone dead, was the same one I flashed on Infinix flash tool, which later made it work.
All the same. I appreciate your efforts.
Thanks so much

Poco f1 reboot itself

Earlier I have flashed pixel experience+ rom on my poco f1 but sometimes it reboot by it self. Then I flashed the stock miui using Mi flash tool but still it reboot itself and sometimes does not charge, I have to reboot it then charging works. And whenever I try to add my face for face unlock mobile crashes and reboot. Pls help me to solve this issue.
Seems like a kernel issue, try flashing a different kernel.
Or if you have a backup that would be better.
If you don't then flash a different version of MIUI on your device.
