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?
Hi everyone,
This is starting to really do my head in, considering I unlocked, flashed and rooted Redmi 3S on first try and in a few minutes.
I managed to unlock bootloader of Redmi Note 4 SD after finally installing correctly usb fastboot drivers (using MiFlash). I flashed TWRP 3.2.2.0, flashed OPT patch and SuperSU, and got a TWRP bootloop (phone always booted into TWRP).
Using MiFlash, I flashed Global Dev Rom and then phone updated by ota to latest 7.6.29. HOWEVER, stupid of me, I flashed rom with option checked of Clean All and Lock, accidentally locking bootloader again.
I try to unlock phone again with Mi Unlock Tool, log into my account succesfully and Tool doesn´t detect phone. Drivers are installed but Tool says Phone Not Detected. I unplug and plug usb cable to all ports and nothing.
However if I use older version of Mi Unlock Tool 1. 1, it detects phone but when I unlock ,it stops at 50% saying Couldn´t Verify Device. Account is bound to phone and I´m logging in with correct details.
Does one need to apply to Xiaomi again for a second unlock?? Driver problem? Account problem?
Anyone have any ideas? I would like to flash TWRP and root phone to be able to fix once and for all that FRIGGIN audio mic noise cancellation when recording videos, seeing as Devs don´t develop a rom with that huge bug patched.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!!
Did you try it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/bootloader-unlock-variants-to-read-t3565459 Read also second post, you should turn on oem unlock, and one apply for one phone.
Thanks buddy, tried all that, but I have posted in that specific bootloader thread to see if someone has an answer.
Cheers friend!
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 Sirs/Ma'am,
Is there a way to flash Pocophone F1 without unlocking bootloader? My phone's update was interrupted and sent to Xiaomi Service Centers but they said it was hopeless unless they change it's motherboard.
My phone is now in bootloop and shows only whitescreen, I can only access the boot options (accessible by keys)
Tried flashing it but all tutorials I encounter requires me to unlock the bootloader. Tried unlocking it but I get the error "Current account is not bound to this device", I tried every account I had but It all didn't work.

Hi Im sorry forgot to mention my phone was in Bootloop Updated the thread
I think there is no other way to flash poco f1 without unlocking the bootloader. if you are flashing different ROM. but if not. try the flashing guide of using MiFlash tool there is instruction on how to flash using MiFlash.
back in old days by entrying in to EDL (redmi3s) you could replace boot.img (stock) with boot.img (twrp) in the extract .tgz file (3gb)
redmi3s goes to edl by pressing all 3 buttons 30 seconds
once you have twrp on locked bootloader you could flash other roms! since stock recovery is replaced
however later they made edl hard by short circuit test point method where back cover must be removed and two certain points to be touched by wire of motherboard and connecting usb wire to pc SIMULTAINEOUSLY
this method is valid till now! if you remove poco back panel it can go in to edl
but now flashing EDL requires AUTHORIZED account in Xiaomi flasher so its not possible anymore!
But this tool requires that ADB is enabled in developer options... If the phone is completely bricked or screen cracked... There is no way for me to enable it.
This is the reason I made this post.
Hello!
Im green in topics of roots, ROMs, flahshing, etc, but i was trying to solve my problem which is bricked soft. I never flashed anything or pick at soft. After android auto update my phone started lagging, and when i drained my battery to 0%, I have reach an impasse.
I was digging this forum to get some clues how to repair it by myself, but i get to the stage where i wonder if its even worth rescuing my poco.
Here's the deal:
I have only acces to fastboot, but my bootloader is locked. There is no possibility to unlock it by miflash_unlock. I have authorized MI account but i hadnt enable unlock in dev options in menu. So when im trying to unlock i get error that i should enable this option which is impossible in these conditions.
Is there any possibilty to bypass locked bootloader? I had read about EDL, but cant find any tutorial for poco. Also i havent special cable for that.
Now im wondering if i should go to GSM point and get them paid for unlock this, but i wanted buy new phone anyway at black friday. The cost of repair wouldnt be higher than selling this 3 years old phone?
