Hello XDA!
Recently a friend of mine bought a Redmi note 3 (Hexa core, kenzo?) and i was trying to flash the Global version with locked bootloader but i started to have some problems. First of all, i have all drivers installed but when i tried to connect it to MiFlash, it wasnt recognized (like it wasnt even plugged) even if fastboot devices was showing me the phone was connected ( http://image.prntscr.com/image/219faa372d8c4c18a15fd3c8c9c7a99d.png ) even after a refresh.
So i tried to unlock my bootloader and install TWRP and i succeded but now i have a bootloop, i think its normal since i still have chinese ROM and unlocked bootloader (or is the twrp thats giving the loop?) and i was looking for a recovery flashable version of it, is it possibile to find it or to fix my problem?
Hello I have a redmi note 4x completely briked..the phone has the bootloader blocked, when I turn it on it restarts and never gets to load the system, I have already flash by testpoint many rom, Miui developer, Global Stable and still in the same, The phone in fastboot mode and Revory (the original of the phone) does not restart, and during the flash by testpoint it is also maintained and never disconnected, I say this because I have read some cases that this happens. At the beginning of the problem he always came to show the three points that he is loading MIUI but there is a reboot, this is not anymore the case, now it never comes, sometimes it stays on when I leave it for a long time restarting but stuck only on the logo MI .... someone knows how to solve this problem, I can not send it to any technical service or anything in my country that does not exist ... greetings
I'm no expert, but I would go online and unlock the bootloader. Then follow this: http://c.mi.com/thread-334-1-0.html There might be other ways, but this one will work, even if getting Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader takes time.
Unlock bootloader, it takes 3 days for Xiaomi to approve it. Install twrp recovery, wipe everything and install some aosp rom.

I can not do that the phone don't loader the OS..
Not sure but I think you should install adb and fastboot on pc and then Connect your phone then try "fastboot devices" and if it shows you some device, it means that your device is plugged in properly then try "fastboot oem unlocking" command this would unlock your bootloader, well the big problem is that all these commands are with respect to the Linux pc, there are something similar to do with windows and worse thing is that xiaomi have different method for unlocking the bootloader as shown in other post

Thanks for your answer, but for unlock the bootloader of a Xiaomi Phone you need first apply and ask permissions with a mi account , after that use a sofware name Mi Unlock with the account login on the phone and on the MI Unlock software. Is the only way in Xiaomi's Phone. The big problen here is I can't get into the Android System I can't put my account in the phone for unlock the bootloader.

I know that brother that's why I suggest you to use fastboot and adb as it works on some basic android phones and it is a kind of general method but I haven't tried it on mi phones

Have you tried any fastboot rom to unbrick your device, I have read your post where you have mentioned about flashing some ROMs but have not seen fastboot rom
you may use wipedata option in recovery mode, if you done have already backed up your data or you can sacrifise the data on phone,it will load the original recovery rom,than upgrade rom.....

Try flashing fastboot stock rom
I had same problem couple of days ago , i had custom rom installed on my redmi note 4 nd while i was reverting back to stock miui rom from my twrp backup i messed up nd ended up bricking my phone. I tried everything but gained nothing. In the end i tried flashing fastboot rom with mi flash tool and it worked. But i had my bootloaders unlock.dont know if it works with locked bootloader. I guess u should give a shot . Gud luck
Hello all,
Long story short : My father bought a Redmi 5 plus recently and lost it. It is found in a shady phone dealer, who insisted that the phone was unusable when he bought it and replaced the broken screen etc.
Since that guy already removed the back cover etc I though the guarantee was already void and tried to fix it myself.
While trying, I noticed that XiaomiTool was finding a Russian rom to install (negruek) as the suitable version even though we are in Turkey. Device is a MEG7 btw. So I don't know if that is usual or if the guy already tried to tamper with it, maybe he was trying to change imeis etc.
The bootloader was obviously locked and since my father haven't associated a xiaomi account with it, there was no way to unlock it or root it.
After tons of trial and errors using various methods and lots of rom versions I have managed to install a global developer rom via test point method.
However when the phone came alive the imeis were 0 and I couldn't get it to recognize the sim card.
When I checked online to fix that, most of the methods require either an unlocked bootloader or a rooted phone.
But I can't do that because I can't bind a xiaomi account to the phone because I don't have imeis...
The only way that seems doesn't have those requirements was to connect to the phone via qpst. So I opened the diagnostic port and installed the drivers and got the phone to appear in the com ports in Device Manager. However when I launch qpst phone field keeps disappearing and/or changing recognized device names so I cannot backup or restore efs.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Why XiaomiTool?
Apply testpoints and re-install the official global fastboot rom (either stable or developer) with MiFlash. This should fix your problem.
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried flashing official global stable rom however it stucks at bootloop. I have already flashed global developer rom using MiFlash, which opens up with lost imeis.
I have mentioned XiaomiTool because I thought that program advising to install a russian rom was weird.
I still need help.
Tried to reflash various roms again but still only rom that is passing the bootloop is global developer and still without imeis.
Tried a few other computers for qpst connection and different qpst versions but phone keeps appearing and disappearing in qpst even though it seems stable in the device manager.

Could u recover lost IMEI or setup IMEI into ur mobile?
I have same issue with redmi 5 plus. It has lost IMEI.
Hi everyone! After the screen of my Mi 9T got dead pixels and stopped working I bought a Poco F1 armoured edition. It remembers me mi old OP5 so I am really in love with it, the problem is I am not a big fan of MIUI 12 so I am trying to downgrade to Miui 11 using XiaomiMiFlash but I am always getting the same error like the title says "can not erase data". If I must unlock the bootloader then I can do it without problem with XiaomiMiTool V2, I am 99% sure I have all the drivers.
May be someone can help me and solving this pitty error. Thank you!
Edit 1: searching a bit, it seems I must only unlock the bootloader, if someone can cofirm that I would be grateful!
Hi,
I have a Pocophone F1, I have been trying to get the bootloader unlocked for a few weeks now without success
What usually happens with the Miui unlock tool, is that it will say something like unlock failed try again in X amount of hours
I have been trying to unlock it using win10 running in a VM on Linux
I did have a macbook pro which I managed to get a native win10 install running on
Said macbook pro has managed to spontaneously brick itself somehow
I have a suzyQ debug cable, seems like this too has managed to brick itself for anything other than charging currently
I picked up today a EDL/QDL cable (fyi i also have a Pixel4a5g that spontaneously bricked itself into EDL/QDL mode)
anyway
Is there a native linux tool for unlocking the bootloader on a pocophone F1?
I cant remember where I saw it, but there is apparently a way to unlock and flash a pocophone via the EDL deepflash cable
I would like to know if there is a way I can grab a backup ideally of the whole phone first, but specifically the radio and EFS, how can I do this?
Normally I would backup via twrp, but I can't install twrp on the F1 until the bootloader is unlocked
Catch 22, don't you just love it!
