As the title reads, I am stuck in a bootloop I guess coming from uninstalling more system apps than was probably wise.
I tried to flash via Mi Flash but I get a "can't flash a locked phone" error.
I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too).
What options do I have?
Much appreciated,
Ultimatum
SOLUTION:
Download latest Fastboot ROM and decompress
Download and install MiFlash
Open MiFlash
Shut down the phone
Power on with Power + Vol Up.
Download Mode
Connect phone to computer, let it install the drivers if necessary
Refresh MiFlash, phone should show up (for me, Device showed as COM 10)
Browse the ROM
Tick Flash all except data and storage
Advanced > clear nvflash_all.bat
Flash
Enjoy!

have you tried to re-install the Driver? make sure that you only use win 64 bit for flashing, many issues occurred when you try to flash using win 32 bit
I am using Windows 10 64 bit. Moreover, I have installed ADB drivers separately (although these seem to come with the Mi Flash utility too).
I think it's intended behavior not to be able to flash via Fastboot with the bootloader locked? I was hoping to be able to restore via Mi PC Suite but it can't seem to see the phone, although the computer does and Mi Flash does too.
try using Mi PC Suite, http://en.miui.com/thread-92720-1-1.html, After Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash
"I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too)."
For some reason, Mi PC Suite is not detecting the phone.

Hello there,
I faced the same situation, but unfortunately in download mode, the phone is not detected in MiFlash, it detected as QHSUSB_BULK in Windows. Phone is detected while in fastboot and normal mode, but not in download mode. Do you have any idea what to do?
I expect this is a driver issue, but I can't figure out what.. I'm using Windows 64 bit, disabled driver signature enforcement, and installed all driver from MiFlash installation (there were 3 of driver notification prompt).

You need to update QHSUSB_BULK to the Qualcomm driver.
Device Manager > Select QHSUSB_BULK > Update Driver Software > Find manually the location of the driver, most likely: C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiaomi\MiPhone\Qualcomm\Driver
The driver should now appear as Qualcomm something, and Mi Flash should be able to see the phone.
Does this work?

Hi,
Thank you for the help. Unfortunately it doesn't work straight away, fortunately this leads me to the right direction, after I tried to point the driver to Xiaomi directory, a window dialog says the driver is 32 bit thus noninstallable for my PC, then I looked around for 64 bit driver for Qualcomm, installed it. I can finally install the driver but the phone is detected as unknown USB device, after removing it from Device Manager, restarted my PC, and tried again, it's still the same, on the third try it finally detected properly. It's working now, thank you very much.
Really weird why did MiFlash comes with noninstallable driver.

you have to flash in edl mode not fastboot so google on how to take redmi 3s into edl mode then you can flash the rom in locked bootloader.in redmi 3 we use volume up and volume down and power button.press all three at the same time and it will take u to edl mode.screen becomes all black but if you plug it to ur computer and press refresh in miflash then it will show as com 10 or 20.thats for redmi 3.maybe redmi 3s has the same steps

I have already tried to switch to edl mode using cmd with "fastboot oem edl" command but it enter bootloop. It happen because oem is locked alongwith usb debugging as I didn't unlock developer option.

I believe you are talking about dfc a.k.a deep flash cable. I have searched alot I couldn't find it on any e-commerce site except alibaba which doesn't ship at my place. Can yousuggest any seller or website if you ever came across selling dfc cable? Deep flash method is the only last resort for my problem other than sending phone to service centre. Could you suggest any website to make dfc cable manually?;as I have searched youtube but non of the method mentioned in it seemed liable to me.

You don't need deep flash cable use button combo to put in edl mode. From device manager update driver for QHSUSB_BULK. \After that reboot pc with driver signature disabled, then open mi flash and phone should be recognised. Just found the thread I used to remove vendor rom.
http://en.miui.com/thread-254606-1-1.html
JUST MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE!:crying:

As I have already said edl mode won't work since developers option was not activated as edl requires oem activated. I had already tried all the methods.
By the way thanks to u all at xda as I have successfully flashed new rom using deep flash cable method...
Nexus 10 rooted in a bootloop
Hi folks! I'm a newbie with this stuffs so I'll do my best to explain the issue. I've recently rooted my Nexus 10 with Nexus root toolkit 2.1.9( I believe). All was fine until I turn it off and back on. Now I'm in a bootloop. I could use the Unroot+flash command but my windows 7 won't detect the device. It only detect it when my tablet is connected and turn off. In that case shows as MTP. Can anyone help me reinstalling the driver or else? Thank you

Unbrick Xiaomi Redmi 3s prime with unlocked boot loader
Hi all,
I've a Xiaomi redmi 3s prime with rooted and unlocked bootloader. I tried unrooting from SuperSu and the phone is in bootloop now. I had TWRP recovery mod installed and a nandroid back up in my phone. But, I can't even enter the recovery mode now. Fast boot is working. Please help me to unbrick it without losing the data or recover the nandroid back up at least.
Thanks!!

Hello friends, i have a problem with an old Sony LT18i from a cousin, he brought it to me because he has the China Mobile variant with no GApps and android version was 2.3.4, i thought it might be solved with a simple flash via FLashtool, but when i've completed the downloading of the ftf file and went to flashtool to flash it, when the flashtool ask me to put it in flashmode pressing the back button and connecting to usb the phone led only blinks of 0.5 sec and then boots into normal mode.
Tried the same with fastboot and then i got the same blink for 0.5s with no detection at all. That surprised me as well i've have flashed succesfully other Xperia devices with no problems of led blinks at all. Now my problem is that later i tried to root the phone and installing CWM to flash another ROM or GApps package, and when i finished to install the recovery now the phone is bootlooping and never gets to boot normally.
I've tried with 4SE dongle to flash it via Testpoint and it doesn't work as the phone manufacture model is 12W13 (new security) which the dongle doesn't support, tried with S1 Tool with version 28II215 and 080714 and i only get PHONE NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS MODE when i try to flash and when trying to unlock the bootloader it gives me NOT SUPPORTED MCU REVISION.
The phone was working well until the CWM installation except for the flashmode and fastboot mode, now i really need to flash it and i can't find a way to do it, i also have RIFF JTAG and Z3X Easy JTAG box but no JTAG available for this model except for Medusa Box which only supports phones with manufacture date less than 12W10, i was wondering if there´s a way to access via QHUSB_DLOAD mode doing the testpoint to manually flash partitions to device or something like that. If you might have a workaround or a solution to at least let the phone in the way it was it will help me a lot. Thanks in advance, sorry if my english isn't so great.
As I was trying to flash global rom via miflash, It gave an error at %50 helloblabla and stuck at nowhere. Just red led blinking. When I connect it to the pc, It is seen as diagnostics 900e (com10). I hold volume + and - and plug the usb cable after taking out battery and usb cable for 10 seconds and putting them back from back but It doesn't work. I cannot see my device in miflash to flash the device.
Use the deep flash method mentioned here
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=310325&extra=page=1&page=1&mobile=2
Had the same issue on my rn3 and was able to recover it using this method(when test point seemed the only option). You just need a copper wire strand to do this. Short the usb 2nd pin as in the video, then remove cable and reinsert. Phone will be detected as unknown device, then update driver and phone will be shown as qdownloader 9008 mode. Next open miflash and flash rom.

See, the person I bought the phone will do it for me. That's not something I want to do.
Use the modified fastboot to reboot to edl from fastboot. google "fastboot edl"

I wish I could go in fastboot mode Device doesn't turn on at all. It needs deep flashing as I can learn. Will do it soon today.
Hi,
I've got a Nubia N1 Lite (NX597J) to mess around with, and wanted to try modifying the ROM. I can enter developer mode and allow bootloader unlocking, adb also works. What I can't do is use USB while booting, or in the recovery menu. No fastboot or sending ROM images via adb to the recovery software. The phone doesn't connect to the computer at all (I'm using Linux, it should at least show up in dmesg). Recovery log says
Code:
musb_pullup 2498: no USB cable, don't need to turn on USB
A couple times, even though the cable is connected and works in Android proper. I've tried USB2 and 3 ports, on a hub and directly on the motherboard. It shows up as 0e8d:2000 MediaTek preloader when turned off and, very briefly, as 0e8d:2008 when booting into recovery.
Am I missing something, or is the recovery image just broken on this phone? I've tried both the EU and US firmware, which is a bit more recent.
Do I need some tool that interacts with the preloader, maybe? I have found this guy who's been messing with a phone that has the same SoC.
Have you managed to get it into recovery mode? I just get a dead android picture :/
I've accidentally broken it by flashing the US ROM but my phone is the EU version. Boots up okay but has lost the IMEI and once the screen turns off won't turn on again - unless I reboot it.
Have so far failed to re-flash with the correct EU ROM - it just fails half-way through.
No, and I'm in the same situation with the firmware.
Hi Everyone,
I have a 4 year old Nokia 7.1 that was working fine a week ago with Android 10.
I accidentally let the battery drain out, phone would not turn on - no Android, no download mode, nothing on the screen however I turn it on - power/volume up/down, etc
I have replaced the battery with a brand new one (very carefully).
New to Android flashing but...
On attaching to PC I get HS-USB Diagnostics 9008 device. I have QFIL, QPST, firmware, firehose programmer for SDM636, etc.
I have shorted pins 3,4 internally, rebooted phone, battery in, battery out. Whatever I do it won't enter EDL mode to try reflashing.
QFIL always says - Switch to EDL Fail Failed to Switch to Emergency Download Mode.
Tried Linux with sahara, etc and phone is visable, but again no respose - can't enter EDL mode.
I have a feeling the hardware may be fried anyway
Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas? Do HMD block EDL?
I think its a lost cause...
Thanks.
