Any way to enter EDL mode without disassembling the phone? - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Vol up/down + USB cable doesn't work, and I read one post that says the deep flash cable doesn't work either. Bootloader is locked.
I have the full body ceramic version, so there aren't any disassembly directions available so I could take it apart and ground the EDL points...
Current ROM is just boot looping, wiping data doesn't help, and only ROM I seem to be able to flash is the same one (latest global beta).... Just want to downgrade back to global stable.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Can't you boot to fastboot? What's the error when you attempt to flash anything else? Can you access TWRP?

I have done it a few times, there is some key combination I used but can't remember what it was

Edit: okay... yes, I got it into fastboot mode now. Don't know what I struggled with that key combo so much.
What can I actually do from here to reflash, since bootloader is locked?

Just flash MIUI from there then, it should work provided that you unlocked the bootloader.

This would be easy if bootloader wasn't locked, I know.

Should be able to use MiFlash tool? And download a fastboot flash rom from xiaomi website

Did you try xiaomitool already? http://www.xiaomitool.com/

Yes. When you start it from recovery, it says it needs ADB, and reboots the phone to OS (which bootloops - no way to activate ADB in OS).
Edit: Same with starting XiaomiTool when in FastBoot - it needs ADB enabled from the OS....

Hello, hello! Here's the link how to disassemble mix2:
1obzor.com/news/razborka-xiaomi-mi-mix-2.html
after opening here is the instruction on how to enter EDL mode:
en.miui.com/thread-1351514-1-1.html
links without the htts: // prefix
since I'm a new member

This was happened to my xiaomi Max.
i tried using fastboot to boot into EDL, it didnt work.
using fastboot-edl -> reboot.bat, it show success message but actually my phone only restarted and stuck in "Mi" Logo.
what i did to boot into EDL are :
- While phone still connected to pc and phone in fastboot mode i try to hold the power button
- After the screen blinked (it restarted), i pressed both vol + and vol - and after i hear a plug in sound in my PC Windows i release the power button
- Then the screen will stay Blank (With background light) but after i refresh MiFlash application, it will detected as COM20 or something.
- Then i do flashing and it works!
Hope it will help to solve your problem

To enter EDL on mix 2 without disassembling. Boot the phone into bootloader then you type "fastboot oem edl" on your computer then you can flash the phone normally with mi flash tool. Hope this suggestion can help!

the miui version cant be installed on this device

I am an idiot i have self inflicted this issue. I flashed from 8.11.8 to 10.0.0.1 i mistake clicked flash and lock.bat now the device is locked and will not boot. Got deep flash cable but not able to switch off the device to get into 9008 mode. please someone direct me. I am getting frustrated and loosing hope. Cannot boot into edl as bootloader locked. cannot recovery as I have no twrp. cannot unlock as device is not bound to account. cannot debug mode as device will not boot to OS. I have truly made my life complicated not purposely. cannot shutdown the device to get into Deep flash mode
Thank you people, apologies for wasting your time.

Same situation.. still trying to find a way to get out of this. But i can help you somehow as i figured out how u can switch off the phone.
1. Copy and rename any file to twrp.img and save it in a folder
2. Open cmd and change directory to where u saved the twrp.img file
3.Just boot into fastboot and type this command
fastboot boot twrp.img
It will try to push this to your phone ane eventually fail. You will get a message on your phone saying "system destroyed and press power button to switch off"
Thats how i switch it off each time lol

Same here but intentionally lock it for resale purposes. Did not know it would brick. But the trick to switch it off still work.
Btw, Me too i don't want to open the back cover but it seems the only solution. I have already ordered my prying tools.

thats who helped me and it was quick and painless. you do have to take the back cover off and the silver plate. touch the 2 bottom pins, first 2 on bottom row and plug in usb cable. phone has to be off. just unplug the battery and back in. phone is back but now have to wait 360 hours to unlock bootloader. oh well

The system has been destroyed

I was using the Mitool tool, and suddenly the machine shut down and the message "the system has been destroyed" appears and it does not start anymore, the only option I have access and the fastboot, would anyone have the solution?

Is your bootloader unlocked?
Did the PC shut down or the phone?
If your bootloader is locked you will need to open the back of the phone and flash a new firmware with PC and pressing the test point on the inside of the phone.
If unlocked you can fastboot the firmware as you normally would

They can try but if recovery isn't accessible then fastboot is the only option and without unlocked bootloader you cannot use it.
Test point is then the only way.
Obviously its best to try flashing without opening the phone first.

Wtf! You can't use mi flash tool unless your bootloader is unlocked
The problem was tense, but it's already been resolved. I find it hard to understand more I will try to explain.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 1º It was with the Global Beta rom and the bootloader unlocked and installing the TWRP for the mitool, however for lack of attention I selected the option to block the bootloader.
After confirming the bootloader block by mitool, the cell phone appeared the message "the system has been destroyed", and it was restarting on this same screen, the only option I had access was to the fastboot.
Since I had access to the fastboot, I tried to install the rom by the miflash only that it gave the message "remote: Erase is not allowed in loke state".
4º After despairing and thought to open the cell to do the testpoints method.
5º Since probably the bootloader had been blocked by the mitool, I decided to enter the site and ask Xiaomi to release the code to unlock the bootloader again.
6th I put the chip in another device and thanks to the holy protector of the cell phones Xiaomi quickly released the code, I did process to unlock the bootloader and the cell phone ran again.

The bootloader gods have smiled upon you this time
Hello! I have locked bootloader with "fastboot oem lock". I was in panic, but randomly I press "Volume -" + "power-on" and my Mi A1 have loading in Fastboot mode, where I was able to unlock bootloader again.
Hope, this can help you.
HI there I also stuck in the same condition and it seems your phone's bootloader is locked now, this happens because you root the phone or installed custom libs or twrp in it and locked the bootloader. So unlocking the bootloader will fix this problem. You can unlock it by going into Fastboot mode (pressing power button + volume down (-) button) and then with platform tools you can unlock it again by typing "fastboot oem unlock" and then "reboot".
I hope this will help someone
same issue in redmi note 4

Reflash your rom with fastboot and hope you haven't messed up anything related to your data so you can still use and have access to it.

Cool then ?
I had the same problem today. my phone was distroed when I tried to install Gcam.
my phone was not unlocked so that the flash of the new stock of the ROM was not possible. The solution is to connect the phone to a PC in fastboot mode and from the platform tools in cmd to type fastboot oem unlock. After that, I did not have to have a flash phone. Everything worked as if I only had to backup the data.
now I have a new phone.
People, with Mi A1, cling to two things - slot A or slot B and lock or unlock. The easiest way to do this is a cardinal error.
Greetings.
Same thing happened to me. Had global rom with bootloader unlocked, then I installed TWRP and reinstall MIUI 10, as well as no-verity and Magisk. When installed the phone showed some issues with the proximity sensors so I decided to reinstall, after installing and booting MIUI showed a message, "the device is locked", I couldn't connect to the internet to unlock it, so I decided to do a fresh installation through miflash, after a couple attempts all of a sudden TWRP was not there anymore. Now the bootloader shows unlocked on '''fastboot oem device-info'''. Now the real problem: miflash doesn't work because bootloader is locked, I didn't unlocked it in the first place so I cannot do a fresh installation through miflash, when booting TWRP it shows the message, The system has been destroyed....
I tried miflash, fastboot oem unlock, fastboot recovery flash for TWRP, fastboot -w then fastboot flash recovery ....zip. Absolutely nothing is working.
How did you make it work exactly?

With locked bootloader I got no chance to flash anything. Neither fastboot nor MiFlash - any solutions? Also would be helpful to enabke USB Debugging via fastboot. Anyone knows?
If you brick your device on the way as it happened to me... check: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77755947&postcount=11
These guys helped me unbricking my mi8 using EDL (Test Point) and Mi-flash!

I got a bricked Mi 6 from a friend. He was trying to flash firmware, and somehow messed up. Trying to boot normally or into recovery showed "The system has been destroyed". `fastboot continue` did not work. Bootloader was locked ( = no possibility to do fastboot oem unlock). On top of that, the phone only accepted fastboot commands right after the usb cable was connected ( => I had to run a fastboot command, like `fastboot getvar all`, fastboot would output `< waiting for any device >`, then I connected cable, and it would work). Running fastboot commands later resulted only in fastboot hanging / getting stuck, with no output, can not be terminated with ctrl+c unless cable was disconnected.
I got myself a windows computer (I use linux), tried to do bootloader unlock. Failed on "add your mi account in Settings -> Developer -> blablabla" - no way to do that with a bricked phone. Then I found out about EDL (Emergency download) mode. This is what worked.
The only way to get into the EDL mode in this state was the hardware way (shortcutting the pins / "PCB test points"). Search online for "mi 6 edl mode testpoints". Basically, you have to:
1. remove the rear cover
2. remove the screws on the plastic part above the battery, remove the plastic piece
3. disconnect the battery (shorter connector on the left side)
4. shortcut the pins using a tweezer (the pins are just above the battery connector)
5. while the pins are connected, connect the USB cable
6. check in device manager that you have "HS-USB QDloader 9008" in the COM devices
7. use mi flash tool to flash the fastboot firmware
The pins (from https://www.mobilerdx.com/2019/02/xiaomi-mi-6-test-points-xiaomi-mi-6-edl-mode-pinout.html):

And after you succeed, maybe unlock your bootloader, so that you don't have to do this again

Unlock bootloader without losing data

For those who are waiting to unlock bootloader but don´t want to lose data this quick guide is intended to do so.
Usually in most of threads out there about unlocking anyone find the typical phrase "unlock bootloader erase all your data" like is advertised in the same MiFlash Unlock tool and for other devices which method to unlock it is through the same fastboot mode by command.
Really unlock bootloader doesn´t erase nothing itself, the problem is at time to reboot to system and here is the issue, if we reboot inmediately then data will gone. (some users of older devices reported that not always this happened BTW)
Steps that I did are the next (maybe some step was unnecesary and I´ll indicate which)
1 - Unlock bootloader as normally through the tool when time it´s came.
2- When it finishes exit the tool, don´t tap on "Reboot device" in the tool, just close the tool.

}
3- Device stays in fastboot, check bootloader status in fastboot mode by typing
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
View attachment 4637936
4- Extract recovery image fromOrangeFox-R8.3-vince zip inside adb folder and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery fox.img
(I renamed it fox).
5- Reboot to recovery by typing
Code:
fastboot boot fox.img
.
View attachment 4637937
6- Once in recovery don´t swipe to allow modifications, tap on Read Only.
7- Some drivers will be updated between device and pc, then copy OrangeFox-R8.3-vince zip to internal memory (or if you prefer to an ext. sdcard) if you already don´t have it in your device.
Now flash the zip, I guess that this is necessary to OrangeFox can unpack all the tools in Fox folder onto device.
8- I enabled these options in recovery and flashed magisk, you can enable some additional features.
9 - Then Flashed No+Verity_R5Plus.zip uploaded file (I´m not sure if this step is needed so I enabled before this option and OrangeFox has in-builded this feature but just to made sure, you know..)
10- Reboot normally and you´re done.
Thanks for the info!
I intended to do what you explained in the guide.
Unfortunately, I couldn't go further than step n°1 because I haven't activated the "USB Debugging" function in my phone and this tool requires it in order to unlock the phone.
The thing is my phone (a Redmi Note 5) is currently stuck in the recovery mode so I can't access inside and activate the "USB Debugging" function.
My phone is stuck in this mode since I tried to update it with the official MIUI 10 version. I definitely want to recover my datas before doing anything else so I haven't click on the "WIPE DATAS" option (obviously).
1-Do you know another way to activate the "USB debugging" function without a proper access into the phone and in order to follow your guide afterwards ?
2-Do you know another way to recover my datas before unlocking the bootloader and flashing a new version ?
Thanks !
Thanks for the trick! but we can use another recovery for this method?
I think clicking on 'Reboot' on the unlock tool sends the script to erase all data.... Here's what I did:
1. unlock bootloader normally
2. unplug phone without clicking on 'Reboot' button at the end
3. Force power off by holding power button for about 10s
and when it rebooted.. it went right into system..phone booted normally with the 'unlocked' logo at boot with all my data untouched.

Yes, all the trick resides on that, avoid to boot up from fastboot but from a complete shut off state then the order to format data would be deactivated. Newer bootloaders would prevent this but it worth the try.

You have first of all to recover your device and then to fix it try again to unlock bootloader.
In recovery do a format data it could be solve it. then set up again all

The problem is that is a cyclical issue. In order to can boot (presumably) due to a dirty/wrong update you need to format data, if you had have enable USB debugging before then you could flash the same firmware that was previously working well but with USB debugging disabled you can´t.

The first I do with a new device is enable USB debugging and check on OEM unlock bootloader cause mainly the first also sometimes can cause a bootloop on a wrong/failed update and to have more options in a worst scenario, take it like a lesson for the next time.
There are ways to enable USB debugging under adb commands but you will need su permissions for this, there are a way to flash a firmware through recovery using adb sideload but again you will need USB debugging and lastly in R5+ you can flash a rom through MiFlash Tool but in download mode so fastboot never worked for me on a Xiaomi with locked bootloader.
Try this last to see if it works, I don´t think but some time ago that I don´t use this tool, try flashing the same firmware that previously was onto your device using this tool on fastboot moed and checking in the centered option to flash and keep data at the right down of the tool.
is this still working?

maybe you can try using fastboot recovery, do a backup from there (to sd card) , then reflash to stock, unlock again (this time enable usb debugging), and after that use your backup to get back your data.

I missed to pull the cable on time, already phone was rebooting :/ ah well backup restore well semi ok. Not sure will i stay rooted. I only needed root so i could automate cell data, vpn. Used MacroDroid for automation. Eg. when off the home wifi, turn on cellular data, when on again, turn off. When on non home/work wifi, turn on vpn, etc. Now i need some like smart unlock (don't lock phone when on home wifi or when bt watch connected) macro and i am done.
Will stick to MIUI for now, but wish Xiaomi would tweak those few things, so we do not have to root phone.

What did you do to try to patch it? Why are you in adb? Does fastboot work?

Patched the boot.img using magisk and then flashed it. After patching, it totally cant boot and can only boot to bootloader.
tried alot of version of MSMtool and it will always fail with param preload error...
Then tried manually recover via extracting the payload using python then using adbtools to wipe and flash but it will also fail because some img files are unable to flash over to the phone...
Any other solutions?
U not able to flash boot the stock boot.img?
i am able to flash the stock boot.img to the phone but some critical img files will come out with
FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions.
')

You need to be in fastbootd,

fastboot reboot fastboot

Sorry, fastboot reboot fastboot (without the d)
@danjcxie
To be honest, I would download the rom and boot with the recovery image instead, I'll upload the image collection...
Will post a link here once it's up.
Actually, just noticed there isn't a recovery image, so boot to the default boot.img using fastboot, then see if the storage shows on your computer, copy the latest default rom over to the main storage folder then then go into Settings > System > System Updates and use the cog to do a local update using the rom zip.
That should re-install everything back to default, you might get lucky and still have all your data
My collection is for the Europe build FYI:

MD5 : 00227014483b4913a2624fac6f492434
So you would reboot the phone into fastboot mode by holding vol up during boot
Once you are in fastboot mode connect the phone to your computer
Test that the computer can see it properly using fastboot devices
You should see a number returned, if so then your computer is recognising the phone, if you don't then try installing the latest drivers from here
If fastboot can see the device properly then copy the default boot.img to the same folder as your fastboot.exe and type the following :
fastboot boot boot.img
You should see a message saying it's transferring it to the phone, then it should boot the phone using it, it's slower than a normal boot but, if everything else on the phone is ok, then you should see it booted and it should accept your lock method
Once you get into the phone using that boot.img, try connecting the phone to your computer and see if it's recognised, if it is then copy over the latest stock rom to your main storage folder, then go to Settings > System > System Updates and use the cog to do a local update using the rom zip
I'm guessing it should let you because it will see a difference between your boot image and the one from the rom.

Turn it off and try charging it
Also "fastboot reboot fastboot" isn't a valid command, there is an adb command "adb reboot bootloader" but that can only be run from within your rom from when you are in recovery with the phone connected

Yeah that symbol isn't what I get, I get a blue lightning sign with the percentage underneath. Are you running OxygenOS or ColorOS?
I think it might be time for you to contact OnePlus support

Wtf are you talking about. fastboot reboot fastboot is literally the only way to get into fastbootd if you can't get to recovery or boot normally.
Regarding battery, that I'm not sure, hopefully someone can help

I am on latest OxygenOS version that is the only thing that I can say right now :/
One thing -> It is detectable by PC when switched on into that mode or into Recovery mode.
Did anyone here had similar issue? Or maybe you know what at least I should try on my own?
I contacted Oneplus Support already, but it is weekend and I just stuck without phone...
Cheers!
Device Model?
LE2123
hold volume up/down and power. It should reboot
Thanks,
I tried that but nothing changed.
I tried to reboot also from recovery mode but the same result.

Did you try keep holding the Power button for approximately 10 seconds, the phone should shutdown. and when completely off, just press Power + Vol Up + Vol Down to boot into fastboot mode. To boot normally just select Start by pressing the power button.

In my previous OnePlus devices, whenever this has happened, I was always able to get out by simply pressing Power +Vol Up+Vol Down all three buttons together to reboot into fastboot, try this combinations as well.

Just use the MSM tool, or request a remote repair session with oneplus.

Doesn't apply to his LE2123, that's why I asked for his model to begin
I have fixed my past devices from this issues by following these steps:
1. Download latest firmware from OnePlus (Official Site or XDA Links)
2. Extract the downloaded file and there will be "payload.bin" file that you need to extract by using a payload dumper (you may try this link or this one)
3. Once you have all the images (img ) files to flash the phone you can use this guide for flashing.

All the best!

Nope, didn't showed up.
I've got my remote session to learn that they cannot help, device need to be send to repair.

Help "failed to write partition" error Redmi 5A (riva)

I had installed in this phone a custom rom a few months back for my friend. Yesterday he told me that the device froze when he was browsing the phone gallery app, and a few minutes later the phone rebooted and couldn't pass the mi logo (so the system wasn't loading I guessed, because the logo of the ROM wasn't showing). I tried to enter TWRP, but even there the phone would get stuck on the TWRP splash page and rebooted back to the MI logo. So I tried to reinstall TWRP (I have still access to fastboot mode) and, after, a newer version, but the problem was the same. I tried booting a recovery image without installing it (fastboot boot twrp.img) and the problem was similar, but instead of rebooting to the MI logo, the phone would get stuck on the TWRP logo. I tried with OrangeFox recovery too, but same problem. I read in another post that it may be a problem with the /data partition, so I (fastboot erase userdata) and tried again the above recovery installation, but it didn't work. I, then, tried to wipe all partion via fastboot, and tried the command "fastboot erase system -w", but it didn't work either. So I tried the way to restore the phone with MiFlash tool, I found the firmware I needed, I flashed it, and after ~4s it gave me the error "failed to write partiton" (see image).

I tried with another firmware (this time based on Oreo instead of Nougat), same error. I searched a solution for this error, but I found nothing helpful. Now I have the phone working (=it can power on) and can access to fastboot, but don't know what to do. Can someone out there, with maybe a clearer idea of what's going on, help me? Thanks in advance
Update:
I found out that the problem is flashing this file "gpt_both0.bin" (which is the partition table). Every firmware that I tried failed to flash when trying to fastboot this file. So I tried to remove the line (
Code:
fastboot %* flash partition "%~dp0images\gpt_both0.bin" || @echo "Flash tz error" && exit /B 1
) from the flash_all.bat and everything was flashed without errors, but the phone won't start, so this file is necessary. Flashing it separately gave me the same error (failed to write partition). So, I ask again for help, hoping that someone will come to save me

Yes, my phone goes into fastboot. The name QHSBULK 9008 sounds like the phone goes in edl mode. I'm not sure, but searching around I found out it's the name of the phone when it's recognised as by it's qualcomm drivers, or something similar
