Bricked or not bricked, that is the question

Weird screen behavior, it seem to me that it isn't a hardware fault, cause when plugging in a charger the phone is able to show the MI logo, but not the charging icon
The phone is able to boot and i can hear the phone locking and unlocking, can see that the screen is on because of the backlight, but there is no image, SO FRUSTRATING!!
If you have any idea of what's going on and can give me a tip, i would thank you so much, the phone has been on this state for a long time
Don't know how to upload videos, if you think that can help diagnose it i can upload it and share a link or something

Did you flash something?
Is it device unlocked?
This happen also in fastboot/recovery mode?

I hadnt updated my Rom, Pixel experience, in a while, so i took the opportunity and flashed an (at the time) beta Pixel Experience Android 10, i reverted and everything was fine for about one day i think, then some artifacting wich would come and go until the display gived up completly (about an hour between the two)
Yes, it is unlocked, and when in fastboot/recovery the screen is lighted up but not showing anything
My guess is that i have a low level firmware issue, as i had problem with those before (was running a custom ROM from day 1, so i had to manually update firware to use newer versions of PE (still pie version) and almost bricked my device

Then try the next:
- Flash a different vendor.
- Flash a different kernel.
- Revert to stock ROM, no need to lock or nothing, just flash first the recovery ROM but if it doesn't result then flash the fastboot ROM through EDL, so that you know you can boot to EDL mode without need to open the back cover, this will restore all the original images.

Ok, so... i think i have all the files, but i'm really lost, how am i supposed to flash the vendor, firmware and stock ROM via fastboot?
Also, i put the device in fastboot, so... thats a win i guess (screen working surprisingtly)
I'm just not finding how to do this, it's been a while that i havent messed with this side of android, if you could help me it would mean the world for me

You can flash some images invoking the right partition, I mean, you can flash vendor image onto the vendor partition using
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
, and in case you need to flash all the ROM you should use MiFlash tool

if your bootloader is locked, you can't flash through fastboot mode either vendor or stock ROM, you should need to use EDL method or you can re-unlock bootloader and this way will work. Anyway i don't understand what actually your issue is.

The issue is the display not working, and it's gotta be a firmware issue as it's on my desk right now showing a bunny, also i am not used to fastboot flash anything, i just was used to recoveries and what not
Just runned some code and it's locked, this is getting better and better oh boy
How am i gonna unlock this if i can't even unlock the phone? last time with screen working it was already a nightmare, having to wait for miui account, do i have any method of doing this without using EDL?

Well, this make sense although it's not clear if you did unlock it previously and after that at some time you did lock it again.
If you didn't unlock it previously you would need to bind your Mi account to the device and enable USB debugging and OEM unlock options but if you didn't before without a screen working you have a more difficult way, confirm me if that is the case.
Anyway I got happily surprised when I bought this device some months ago at the first attempt I could unlock it without have to wait time, try it and see what happen.

It was unloked and i locked again, don't know if this helps my case or if i am royally screwed up
And yeah, Xioami does make difficult to do the process of unlocking but only to recently released devices, aparently to stop re-sellers to buy the cheaper chinese rom and put the global version on them, i think that when a device doenst get made anymore makes sense that they would make it more easy (i bought the device 2 weeks after launch)

You can't be sure of that, sometimes the vendor correct the issue, sometimes the firmware.
Firmware it is in the stock ROM that can be flashed either through fastboot or EDL mode (be careful to not relock bootloader or you couldn't enable this time OEM unlock option). Now that you have the way more clear just do a search "how to flash stock ROM on Xiaomi devices either through fastboot or EDL mode", just keep in mind that you don't need to open the back cover of the device, usually from a device off (only on unlocked ones) you could send it to EDL by pressing both volume buttons at same time that it is connected to PC, I gave you the main tips, for the rest you will find a lot of tutorials.

Not able to add a visa card to Google Pay when unlocked

Hi there,
I'm in contact with google support to add a visa card to Google Pay. After several issues finally sorted, I have now a message saying I can not add a card because my phone is altered.
Is the fact that my phone is unlocked won't allow me to use Google Pay / NFC feature?
Thx guys

I managed to make work my banking app and Google Pay with these steps:
1. Enable Magisk hide + enable hide for Google Pay and Google Play services
2. Repackage Magisk Manager app (you will need to enable installation of apps from USB source in system developer settings)
3. Force basic Safetynet test by installing MagiskHide Props Config and selecting Mi 10T pro as a phone model (as a bonus, AR will work too)
Reboot phone and it should work now.

Hummm... after some research, it looks like this method won't work for a long time. Can I unlock my device for the time being? It's unclear how I can do it...

Maybe it will, maybe it won't.. There is a secondary method involving modification of Google Pay sql database which might work for a longer time.
Anyway, to unroot your phone and to pass safetynet you'll need to reflash whole ROM and lock the bootloader (make sure that phone is working before locking).

My Google Pay NFC visa was working after passing safetynet on magisk but stopped working today. Tried to unroot but still got the same error.
I didn't update the app at all so I'm guessing on the server side they did some changes to detect for root / custom rom /unlocked bootloader or something.
Now I'm gonna re-root since removing it didn't helped. Lol

Is a factory reset will do?

Safetynet will fail with unlocked bootloader, you need either unlocked bootloader + Magisk hide + basic Safetynet test (can be forced with using for example Mi 10T pro as a phone model), or completely stock rom with locked bootloader. Mine Google pay seems to be still working (at least app doesn't complain about anything ).

All versions are 5G - check which MIUI version exactly do you have now (settings->about) and then download a ROM for the same region.

Long story short. After bricking my device (XiaoMiTool V2 hit it hard), I managed to get it back and flash a Fastboot ROM (through XiaoMiFlash).
And Google Pay still say I can not add a Visa Card because my Device is rooted or is altered in a way. I downloaded a root checker and it says I'm not rooted... WTF???

"Clean all and lock"

Yes, flash all and lock is the right script. But it's a good point to lock your bootloader only after you are sure that your phone works.
When you are sure that you are with a fresh stock ROM, reboot to fastboot mode and issue command:
" fastboot flashing lock"
Beware, it will erase your data and if you by any chance have modified boot or system partition, you will brick your phone and it must be revived by EDL mode.

I tried the command but the device says it was not a "known command" so I flashed it again with the right script (I had to remove the antirollback section tho)
I'm restoring at the moment. Will tell you if I can add my VISA soon

So it works but Google Pay is saying that my Bank does not support this feature (Welcome to Canada!)
All of this for... NOTHING °*&(?$?&)
Ah ah ah... At least, I know how to properly flash my device. Thx a lot _mysiak_

Root Issue -- won't reboot into recovery mode

Hi --
Old Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 running kitkat. I am using CF Auto Root to root it via Odin and I get the "pass" in Odin but then it just reboots into the existing OS and Supersu is not on the device. The instructions I have been following say that you should try again but switching off the "auto reboot" in odin. I did that, but it just remains in download mode. The instructions said to take out the battery...which, not really an option for the tablet.
I believe I followed all other instructions: I have the correct CF Auto Root file for my build; I have the drivers from Samsung ...
Any advice is appreciated.

Hi, and thanks for the reply. Big picture is that I'd like to use the tablet but kitkat obviously is now not compatible with most apps.

Tablet version: SM-t520.

And , obviously, terminology may be/probably is "off" here (newbie and all) ... but I believe there's a step before being able to flash TWRP and Lineage - whether that's "rooting" or "unlocking" or whatever. I'm basically still "stock" at this point.

Great, will give this a shot later today. Appreciate the help!

Well, didn't get very far. My understanding is that you have to unlock the OEM bootloader under developer options...which, ... well, I don't have that option listed once I've accessed the developer options. Tried a bunch of options -- factory reset, changed date/time to long ago .... used Smart Switch to check for updates (which one post said would prompt it to appear. Any options for getting this modded without the OEM bootloader unlock option? One post somewhere said that having the USB debugging option checked would work, but .... questionable.

Just use Odin to flash latest TWRP,
Reboot to that TWRP,
Wipe everything plus "Format Data"
Flash suiting ROM and test if it works
reboot to TWRP and flash Gapps fitting this ROM version (I prefer Bitgapps ARM)
Be happy

@tojotojo remember that Odin can only flash .tar and .tar.md5 files
TWRP.....img are to flash later in an old TWRP to get a newer one.

you need check off auto-reboot. it still in dload-mode, then press power to reboot and just as you see it starts boot press recovery-mode key combination to enter recovery. if you are slow, tab will load default system without ur root and recovery. i hope this help you.

realme 7 pro restarts frequently and no fastbot mode

Sometimes formatting data/factory resetting can fix the issue.
Or if you want to flash a new firmware, then, download a firmware, that comes in .ozip format, transfer it to your SD card, and flash it through it.
If you have some luck, also you can try, updating via Wi-Fi.

Thank you for the answer ... I have already tried to format several times by restoring the factory settings but the problem remained
Having installed the latest version and my recovery doesn't recognize my upload via local .ozip (see picture)
I think the ota didn't go perfectly...
Do you recommend installing the PU version? But then I can put the 11_F23?

Is It your bootloader unlocked?
If your device has Qualcomm there is a tool here in XDA, to flash the . ofp file (fastboot is available through other method, If your device has a MediaTek, SoC, also there are other tools to flash it.

Nothing... It's still under warranty and will go to the service center

If restarting occurs exactly certain time period its firmware problem. otherwise battery or emmc fault.

Question Fastbook flashing unlock not recognized?

Hi guys, I'm stucked at this weird problem, basically when I type that command, fastboot reply with the list of options, like the command itself doesn't exist. Funny things is, to confirm it should work, I've tried to launch it with the device connected but not in fastboot, and it says "waiting for device" so the command actual exists.
I've tried so far: dl the last adb sdb from the official page
put the phone through fastboot using adb fastboot devices (it works)
launch the command: nothing works
This is hmm my 4th? Oneplus, so isn't like I'm new to unlock bootloaders but now I'm stucked, any ideas?
Of course OEM debug is on and also OEM unlock
ps.: I've also tried the old command but no resuts

because of the mismatch of the step 3 (which stated correctly I guess, "init_boot", and the pic, I've wrote boot instead of init_boot and flashed the patched magisk file to the boot.
Do you know/have where find the correct boot file to patch it back? My model is the CPH2449 A09 BA (europe) for what I remember...
Or, what guide can I follow withouth worst the situation... For now, I can still enter in the fastboot mode

If you flash init_boot to boot, it will hard brick your device. If you can't access fastboot now, then only way to recover is using MSM tool.

I know.. That's why I used the other method to root. KernelSU method.
PROPER CPH2451 Root and Update instructions
This is for the CPH2451 Rom, but should also work for other roms. I have returned my device so I will not be updating this with future updates. I have validated these instructions work for CPH2451 NA version so it's your choice to follow it or...

Yes.. this method just needs booting and no hard flash. Also unlock bootloader and try setting passcode or patern before you copy data. If you can't set pattern, then relock and unlock bootloader till possible.

hey, did you perhaps found a way to fix fingerprint/passwords not working too? I guess that it is broken because I had one before unlocking it...so maybe locking it back, removing old one (if works) and unocking again, could work but...I'm still trying to figure out how to lock it back...maybe with enhanced tools... any ideas? Maybe I'm overthinking?

Only is to fix phone lock issue is by relocking bootloader and unlocking it till it works. This must be done only if not rooted. No other method was found till now.

I've tried at least 5+ times, nothing. I've read first we need to flash stock then lock again, but idk how to flash stock frankly....now desperately I'm flashing it through enhanced fastboot tool, even if a guide said to avoid cuz some op10R got bricked... let's see....
