Hello again
Sometimes we can brick our devices by a bad unlock, flashing process, or simply bad luck.
The phone doesn't turn on and there is a Red Led Of Death when pressing power button. Even with a GREEN led when we plug the phone with back key pressed the computer detect the phone as "unknown device" so there is no chance to get fixed by Flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion.
Well this problem normally means that the bootloader is broken or damaged. So, in order to fix it we need to write a new SEMCboot and after this we were able to flash a full and fresh firmware with flashtool and unbrick our Xperia.
This process like unlocking process requires SETool dongle/box and a paperclip to make a testpoint to put the phone in flash mode and be able to write the SEMCBoot.
I can help to anyone with a bricked Xperia Arc/Play/Neo/Pro just make send me a PM.
Like unlocking process you will need this 3 programs:
SETool software for unlocking
USB Over network client for remote dongle
Teamviewer client for remote support and guide
THIS PROCESS IS FREE
anyway if you want me to buy a Dr. Peper just
Sometimes even after fix the bootloader the phone doesn't want to boot. In most cases this is by a damaged TRIM AREA (TA).
The trim area is a part of softwere stored in eeprom so it can be read and write with the proper software like SETool.
Read and Write trim area is very easy but you should know that some sectors of the TA are unique for you phone, lets call it Security Units.
The process for repair trim area is indeed very easy.
For sure we need Testpoint like in unlocking or bootloader repair process.
1. Backup Security Units with this script:
Code:
taread:00020851
taread:000207D3
taread:000207Da
2. Write a Working TA backup from another phone (same model)
3. Restore Security Units.
Thats all, now your phone should boot well but is 90% possible that you dont get Signal so for fix that we need to unlocking.
If this last thing is needed you can refer to this thread:

Ok i will try this on my r800at which is now r800a by means of firmware upgrade. But i have one question. In order to hit the testpoint my phone needs to have its battery removed and if that and the USB cable are both gone will pressing the Testpoint and the Power button at the same time do anything?
hi
yes you need battery inserted corectely for testpoint
could you please help me out? I have a working fastboot and flashtooll detects my phone too. the problem is this
(bootloader) Erase operation complete, 2184 bad blocks encountered
OKAY [ 1.513s]
erasing 'cache'...
(bootloader) Erase of partition 'cache' requested
FAILED (remote: Partition not found, or permission denied)

and omnius can't read semc error code A57CF58A77DB6368

2)Unlocking ways
3)My unlocking way[Requirements also]
4)Procedure
5)Proofs&Screenshots
6)Bonus
7) CREDITS
8)My Queries to Developers,Moderators,Anyone[optional for unlockers..it's my doubts]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Notes[Things to know]
a) Mi Flash Unlock tool is not fake
b)Unlocking bootloader does not void ur warrenty
c)after unlocking u'll not lose any data
d)No need to go for any developer/china roms
e)if i miss anything i'll update it later
f)if u think that this post does not belong in this section then i'm sorry.. i want every one to find it easily So i posted in here
2)Unlocking ways
u guys has seen many ways for unlocking in our forums
But i'm sorry to say none of them worked for me..If u Succeed in those then u r lucky ..Otherwise go for this...
I'm also the one like u facing this problems like
i)Account verify failed...
ii)Current account is different from Device info on this device...
iii)e.t.c
the unlocking ways i found in our miui is
http://en.miui.com/thread-336034-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-223915-1-1.html
e.t.c
Some of them had unlocking by above ways..They also works..But!!!!
if u still have problem with unlocking ..then go for My unlocking way
DISCLAIMER ..I'm not at all telling that above or any other ways of unlocking are wrong or not all working
3)My unlocking way[Requirements also]
I'm Having Redmi 3s..And the requirements is Same for all ..Except in recovery
First of all There's no need of Touch ur mobile..Let it be as it is
Like no removing of account/data/not turn of device/nor sync off .... Nothing At all
4)Procedure
Here's the Technique
Trick 1)
I Recomend to Do this All Process in Private/Incognito Browing ..
i)Create A New Mi Account [I Suggest Go for Any Private Browsing/Incognito Window ] And Sign's up...Verify Mobile/Email
ii)Log in to that account in mi forums And create a Nick name/or simply copy paste ur account id as nick name
iii)Don't Log out
iv)Go to this link http://www.miui.com/unlock/apply.php
[[Those who have Problem to open this page like "u r automatically redirected to Download page" Has to follow my recomendation in order that log out from ur previous accounts And clear ur browsing data of mi pages]]
Fill up the Forum..
In the description like ...[[i understand the risks of unlocking and i request to give me unlock permissions]] Like any thing u wish
verify phone via OTP ...if ur Account is verified and it says Proceesing And u receive a sms with in 10 days then u r Half Done
All U HAve to do Wait 2 Minimum Days.I Feel Sorry for that But A new account creation is neccesary in my trick [COZ i succeded in that]
After 2 days Check ur phone For SMS Like "You Have Been granted For permissions To unlock ur device .." Then Ur 75% Done
v) Simply Download this attachment
MiFlashUnlock_1.0.1225.2 IT IS OF CHINEESE VERSION
If the Download link is not working Inform me Or u can download Latest Mi FlashUnlock tool ..But i didn't test in that ..i guess it also works
vi)Run it as administrator / no need at all [[I'm just giving what i did]]
log in with the account which u CREATED PREVIOUS TIME AND APPLY FOR UNLOCK PERMISSIONS
vii) Connect ur device in fastboot mode..If u dont have fastboot drivers Install Mi flash tool lastest version ...if still problem persists Disable Driver Signature enforment in windows by follow up this tutorial http://en.miui.com/thread-237673-1-1.html
viii)If it shows unlock button then click on it..With in a second u r device is unlocked..then u r very luckiest guy in this world..else u'll see again ur old Friend error "Current account is different from Device info on this device..."
Mostly U wont get error ..COZ the main trick here is creating new accont get permissions and dont log in with that new account in any device except in mi flash unlock after getting permissions......Because of that account does not have any connected devices..And this trick only works for one new mail=one unlock...After that u'll get ur old friend error in chineese
Trick 2
I Feel Sorry That u didn't succeded in my first trick..Here's an another way for u
1)Again Create a new account Apply for permissions Dont log in to any device..after/before sms confirmation
Step 2)open only that Chinnese link i provided[[Run it as administrator ]]..Log in to that account
3)If u see unlock button immediatly Disconnect ur net Connect ur phone in fastboot then click on unlock button..u'll see an error of 0*500 something now connect to internet then again click on unlock button
u'll 100% unlock ur device ..
This Trick is a combination of my technique and other two senior members [above link ] in this forum
If u r busy guy like me and cant wait for another two days ..then try with the previously new account details as login details in step 2 ...but i cant assure u unlock may be 50-50 chances...
5)Proofs&Screenshots
Attachment is below
6)Bonus
1)At the time of mi account creation create two accounts and apply for permissions on both accounts it's saves time right..in case if u didn't succed in first trick
2)After the device is successfully unlocked download this TWRP and use this command in minimal adb/whatever u have
fastboot boot recovery.img
Copy the Code
to back up ur device with out system modifications
3)that file was not mine ..it belongs to another moderator.. And the recovery is of redmi 3s
4)Keep the system partition read only and backup the device ..might be useful at future
5)After backup u can flash the recovery ..u have the idea about remianing thing right !!!
7) CREDITS
All credits Goes for Mi forum moderators,Developers,And Everyone.
A special Credits Goes To my friend SivaPrabhas
8) My Queries to Developers,Moderators,Anyone
Here's What i did.... before i have locked bootloader..i downloaded fastboot images put the device in edl mode and change the recovery file img to twrp img and rename it to recovery.img..And flash the All os files.. flashed successfully but still it shows stock recovery
that's why i'm wondering about that ..And i changed the boot file to twrp image .. it flashed the files succesfull But it stuck on mi logogo and lead me to qualocom diagonostic mode 900E Because of partioning mismatch [i guess ] luckily i'm having fastboot coz the flasher first flashes the bootloader and mbn files
i initiate fastboot oem edl command then i'm in edl mode and flashed the device to previous state ..After that i stopped the work it's a new phone guys [1 week ] i got feared
So my query is how it still can't boot into twrp recovery mode if it's flashed successfull in edl mode [i checked the log file ]
I guess because of encryption process of system partition after flashing ..so again what i did is after flashing the fles immediatly i boot on to recovery still the device automatically loops .. and start encryption
Thank u everyone...Sorry for the long post & if i did something wrong ..
Hope This can help many ..
Kindly notify me whether it succeeds or fails
Peace Out,,,,,,,,
Nice

I did not follow this method. I used the standard approach with one small deviation. I requested unlock and received it in 2 days. When I tried to use the miunlock tool it gave me an error about "Current account info is different...". I just waited for two weeks and tried again. Viola! It unlocked without any hassles. I think it just needs few days for the unlock approval to actually "migrates" to the account.

Finally succeeded. This time it showed 'No Mi Phone connected'. But using the old unlocked version did the trick.

To all who had issues while tryin to unlock bootloader in Redmi 3S do the following
1. Enable developer mode by clicking on MIUI version in About phone
2. Inside developer mode ( ( within additional settings ) activate OEM unlocking and USB debugging
3. Remove all fingerprint stored, also remove any lockscreen patterns if any
4. Under OEM status there is MI Unlock status, click on activate device in that tab ( I don't remember specifically what the words are, as my phone is unlocked it just shows Unlocked)
5. Open MI Unlock version 1.1 , login using the same MI account details as in your phone and the froum
6. Turnoff phone, enter fastboot mode by pressing down arrow and powerbutton together
7. Connect phone using USB cable

If it hardbricked, then there will flash all the system via edl mode, all the data will be gone, but i don't know if the bootloader get lock again or not..anyway, unlocked bootloader not a big issue i think
Maybe interesting for this topic:
https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-india-clarifies-bootloader-unlocking-does-not-void-warranty/
You must Use the fastboot version
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/joyeuse/
unzip *.tgz via winrar, 7-zip etc.
The folder with the extracted files must be on the root of a partition, otherwise there are error messages
Then switch on the cell phone via
power + volume down <---(Edit: sorry, down not up)
start in fastboot mode
- Connect phone via USB cable
- Start the MiFlash tool.
- Use "Select" to set the path to the folder or immediately paste the path previously copied in the file manager into the address bar of the flash tool.
- Select "clean all" below
- Refresh once
- now "flash" at the top right
PS:
bootloader is normally not locked again unless you select "clean and lock".
but if it should be blocked for whatever reason, that's no problem.
Once unlocked there is no longer a waiting time when unlocking again.
Simply start the "miflash unlock" tool, sign in and unlock again
Hi

In theory you need to go
ZUI官网 - 刷机
Then enter IMEI, serial, email.
Wait for email from Lenovo service with image, enable developers, unlock, then flash it via minimal ADB.
Kind of standard unlocking bootloader procedure. (Didn't unlock by myself, do it at your own risk).
Can try to support in telegram.
Pm me if you wanna try.
Tx alot for answer, i was thinking that i don't want to loose warranty now, so maybe i will keep that phone as it is... The worst is i wanted magic for modul installation for my DualSense5 for gaming....

You need to user IMEI1 (only letters and numbers).
And serial number that you can find in Settings->my phone->technical details->status
My PC didn't find a phone in bootloader mode (have a lot of tries and a lot of devices, may be some drivers conflict)

Not working. IMEI1 contains only numbers (not letters) and both SN and IMEI 1 are valid. I verified that with tech support. They were able to match both but they couldnt use them in the web page for unlocking either. So somehow it doesnt work...

Send me in PM your IMEI1 and serial. I'll try.
I have no problem with gettin sn.img in my case of preparing for unlocking.
If you communicate with tech support - ask them how to unlock bootloader or get a manual.

Yes, thats the way.
Can anybody here share there sn.img file with their IMEI & serial numbers? I've tried requesting this file via ZUI many times without success. I'm thinking i could swap out the numbers with my own data.
I'm having the same invalid IMEI1 when I submit for the unlock file.
How did you get the website to work?

As far as using mobile data, MI account already recognized my device & successfully passed the "Add account and device"
During unlocking, I made sure to open a hotspot from the phone # which is registered with the MI account.
*edit: it's a Wifi only Pad.. so.. though I do have a choice of Wifi or hotspot during the unlocking process
I have also tried the exact unlocking method from technobuzz link you have provided. Thank you for sharing.

I was ecstatic!!! when i first saw the pic
I've got this.. pic with an unlock. Does it mean bootloader is unlocked?
if i choose the second option and enter WiFi information, then choose the first option, it boots as though factory reset has been done (goes through the initial setup) BUT all the data is there. and status shows it's STILL LOCKED.
Now the 2nd time, i let the locked icon stay and boot into fastboot and try installing TWRP, it failed :-(
this is the error i get:
fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img
Sending 'recovery' (33812 KB) OKAY [ 0.842s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'No support by lock control')
fastboot: error: Command failed
What now?
Thank you for any/all the help i can get

upon connecting the cable to the device (in a fastboot mode) the Unlock tool does NOT see it as being attached eventhough the bootloader drivers are there and shows that device is connected. when i type "fastboot devices" my device shows up as well
*the global Mi Unlock tool takes me to the account info (where i can change password/email/other details
i've tried various versions of MI Unlock tool.. (including batch unlock ones) all give the same result. Just like to add.. i have successfully unlocked Mi Note 7 using the Mi Unlock tool (at the time I didnt have to wait eventhough there was supposedly a 7 day wait)

Have you enabled USB debugging?
Are you using a usb 2 port?
Is the Mi pad usb port 2 or 3?
The Mi Unlock folder must be at the root of the hard drive.
Try running Mi Unlock as administrator.
EDIT:
ANOTHER TOOL

Im so happy, NOSS8! Thank you ever so much!
moving the folder to C:\ must have done the trick AND running it as admin.
there's a 120hr wait then what recovery do i install when there are no officially supported ROMs either

Glad it worked but if there is no recovery or rom for this model, why unlock the bootloader?
You can install a stock Global or other rom but without locking the bootloader and rooting to have a certified play store.
