Hi,
My phone got a message about a virus which I assumed was a devious add, it wouldn't go away so I rebooted. It has gone into Mi-Recovery 3.0 and I cant get out. I've tried to connect to PC suite but it won't connect to my laptop
without debugging, which I can't do. I've wiped data but no good. Any ideas?
Flash full rom img via EDL mode and MiFlash software. Check out the official forums how to do it all.
For me the command fastboot oem edl works to get into edl mode.

Thank you for answering. I have downloaded a full rom and the MiFlash software. I have made an EDL cable but nothing happens. From what I read it says turn the phone off and connect the modified cable and it will enter EDL mode however it just stays on the Mi-Recovery 3.0 page. I've tried the command line you suggest but that can't find the phone. I've also tried the test point method and still can't get into edl mode. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry, I'm new to this so don't really know what I'm doing. Would you be able to give me some easy to follow advise or some links please.

You need your normal USB C cable. When you are in fastboot you need to type "fastboot oem edl" your screen will go to black and you are now in EDL mode. Now flash full img via miflash software.

I cant get to fastboot as I'm stuck in Recovery. My only choices are Reboot to System and Back to Main Menu. When I'm in Main Menu my choices are Reboot, Wipe Data or Connect with MIAssistant.

When you turn off the phone and press vol down + power what does that do?
It shows the Mi start screen then boots strait into recovery Main Menu. I can't turn the phone off without it rebooting.
Does anyone know how I can get around this? I've run out of things to try.
Did you try reflashing the recovery maybe that fixes it?

Can you explain how I do that? I can't connect to my computer so not sure what you mean. I'm new at this so unsure of the options.

Oh hmm never mind. Ignore what I said above. I thought you had TWRP recovery but you've got the stock one.

Is there no way of getting out of stock recovery?
Maybe your volume rocker buttons are faulty .
Happened with one of my friend his device was only booting into recovery mode on reboot because vol+ button was permanently stuck ?
Try to lift up the button if it is stuck or
press button repeatedly for sometime .
Ashish 289, you are right, it was a faulty volume rocker. Once disconnected it booted. Thanks.

Your phone is in secure lock! and flashes led?
Hold power and vol down when turning phone on, when LG logo appears stop pressing and press again, then it will say to hard reset, say yes!, then u go to fasboot, from there fasboot boot TWRP, and do what u want!, remember to see instructions! you have to backup ur recovery just in case...

The thing is they can't check it out coz they can't use the ordinary way to access into the phone and its files, so the only way is to change mainboard

Only the D851(T Mobile) has an unlocked BL. I would just be careful because they could always not cover it under warranty.

I bought mine from Hong Kong, im in Sydney, so i took it to LG in Sydney to check. And they said they only can do is to change the mainborad, but since the phone is not bought in Australia, so i have to pay. That's why i send it back to Hong Kong for warranty.

i installed cm14.1 today from the cyanogenmod website i had everything running fine until i reboot into recovery. i got a black screen and it didnt bot into recovery at all so i held my power button and volume down and nothing happens. i cant even boot up into fast boot or anything. nothing is turning my phone on. when i connect it to my pc nothing happens. is there anything i can do?
There's a mega unbrick guide for the OnePlus 3, use that then install the correct firmware and install the custom TWRP and re flash the ROM
i tried that method but the device doesnt even show up on my pc

Get this sorted yet? You'll need a modified TWRP recovery for the newest CM based builds. I went through the same thing yesterday or the day before. Try holding volume down and power for like 30 seconds until you feel it vibrate that it is rebooting. Then hold volume *UP* while it reboots or if you see the "your device is not safe..." flash screen hurry and press volume down and go into fastboot. From there you can fastboot flash a new recovery.
I had the same problem as well, in device manager go to ports (com & LPT) and it will show up there under qualcum device. Don't forget to go and turn off certificate verification
Thanks guys I'll try this after work. Hopefully it works. If not sure oneplus are hopefully releasing a new phone soon
No it didn't work. I have a feeling I deleted something I shouldn't have because I was clearing out my files before I restarted and that was that.
you gotta use special twrp recovery for cm14.1...
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224394867
Just use the recovery rahditzz provided you with a link, if your phone is stuck on black screen with white led hold your power button until it turns off, then boot to fastboot and flash the recovery and you will boot...

Your running vista???? Good god update your OS!!
Maybe your fastboot drivers got updated? There were some reports around this. You could try reinstalling the drivers and following the unbrick guide without an internet connection.

Have you try using edl method?
But at least can you access fastboot first, using power off + volume down
If you could, then it can boot into edl mode using tools provided from the internet, there are many of them
And flash fastboot firmware using MI flash or Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL)

Because I have another xiaomi device before, and it also get into penguin logo, and I can assure that my device has no installed os too
But because most of xiaomi phone chipset is Qualcomm, and Qualcomm device has edl mode, to flash image
And sure with my bricked device (stuck in penguin logo), I still able to access edl mode
But it was my old phone, not Redmi Note 5A, and I'm searching for how to enter edl mode on Note 5A, the process is you must use test point inside the device
Other than that, I don't know though
But if for my old phone (Redmi 2 Prime) the procedure is press volume down, then insert USB cable that connected to pc, then I can start to flash using QFIL

you can reflash ROM by using EDL method which you have to shortcircuit some pins to enter EDL, it is pretty easy if you have the tools. After reflashing it, reboot and it should be okay.

Oh yeah I forgot about this too, this is the most useful one
I also saw some people do with test point
Because I don't have any experience to do that, so I didn't do, as it needs to crack open the phone
So I downloaded pixelos and wished to revert to stock miui, i was using the miflash tool and in the first few seconds my usb disconnected. Then i could not exit fastboot no matter what I pressed. I've tried to flash miui again but am getting the error "data transfer error" and "data transfer time unknown". I could really use the help. Thank you
This kind of crap happened to my Redmi K30 Pro as well. The only difference is that mine did not turn on anymore after I tried to restart it. Both Recovery Mode and Fastboot are unaccessible.
I think there's always a risk going from a custom rom back to miui, specially so when using fastboot.
If u can access EDL mode either via touch point or EDL Usb cable, do that and try flashing the MIUI again through Mi-Flash. Make sure you're using the same MiAccount and hope they will flag it as authorized, otherwise you'll be forced to take it to a service center and have the whole motherboard replaced.
You can also use QFIL but that's a unreliable tool and it always spouts out Sahara error messages.

I am not familliar with EDL mode, any tutorials you know to get into that? I really appreciate it.
Google is your bestfriend. If ur going with touch point method, know that it will void the warranty as you'll have to open it and short the pins, to invoke EDL mode.
EDL cable is advisable so try that first and follow the instructions that came with the package. It's a cable with a button.

And once im in EDL mode, do i just have to try the miflash tool again?
Also can i try get TWRP again and try boot a rom from there, could that be possible?
If u can access the recovery mode then try that first.
For EDL mode, yes you have to use MiFlash for this. Make sure you're using the same Mi Account that you've used when you unlocked the bootloader and do not remove the device from the Mi Account. This way, it will recognized it as authorized and it will flash successfully.

I'm sure you're knowledgeable in flashing, and knows how to use google. I'm sure u also know that accessing TWRP is a good sign and u can now access fastboot or EDL via adb from there.

Hello peeps.
My Poco F3 got hard bricked after update froze (was doing clean install of stable EU rom). Phone won't boot into any mode, and won't appear on pc. I've tried sorting the Test Pins 50 different ways and it still doesn't get picked up by the pc. Qualcomm Drivers are installed. Device is connected with working data transfer USB cable. It definitely is getting charge cause Battery and CPU are hotter than the rest of the phone. I'm at complete loss, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong or if I screwed up my phone that bad that EDL also doesn't work. Thanks for anyhelp!
1. Disconnect the battery
2. Make USB-Cable ready for Insertion
3. While shorting the 2 Test-pins, connect the USB-Cable
This is how I had to do it. ^^ This can be difficult and may require multiple trials, but this should work!
Windows should make the "Hardware connected"-Sound directly after connecting the USB-Cable, and show "Qualcomm 9008" in Device Manager.
If not, you need to repeat it: disconnect USB, short the 2 Test-pins and connect USB again. All while leaving battery unplugged.
Note: EDL Mode can't be bricked. This read-only Mode resides inside the Qualcomm SOC. There would have to be physical (hardware) damage for this to not function.
If you need more assistance or so, I can give you my Discord. Though you already seem quite far. Good luck dud.

I am assuming the phone screen does not light up at all, no fastboot or recovery mode.
This would mean the phone's hard bricked. It will require EDL flashing which can be done by someone with an authorised Xiaomi account.

Yes. Just to be safe I would flash the rom with "clean all" instead of "clean all and lock" if I were you. Then after booting up the phone you can later lock the bootloader safely using "fastboot oem lock" in adb.

In case of "clean all and lock" if something goes wrong during flashing, the bootloader will be locked and you will not be able to fix the phone. So it is safer to flash the rom first without locking the bootloader and then lock it after booting up.
