Hello, I heard that to hard reset the phone, i need a flashtool. And to unlock bootloader i need to enable usb debugging, however i cant access my phone, because for some weird reason the pin code doesnt work. Can you help me reset the phone? its Xperia S
So im currently trying to repair it with pc companion, but when it says to connect the phone holding the down button, and when i do it, nothing happens, the computer doesnt recognise it. The flash mode stays for 5 seconds, the goes into charge mode. Looked in device manager, but theres nothing. Probably enabling usb debugging would work, but how am i supposed to enable it with phone locked. Maybe i need some drivers?
Try with the Sony Flash Tool from their site, u'll have to get the stock 4.1.2, but at least u'll be able to use your phone

Can someone help?
Hello everyone, I have rooted and used my MI 9 SE for at atbout one month normally. Today, phone discharged and since that time after charged, Iam not able to boot everywhere, except "fastboot screen", while trying anything like (power and +; power and - etc..) phone always vibrates and boots into fastboot screen.
unfortunatelly, I so far I havent managed to connect it to PC and reflash anything, it is not visible and does nothing, when try to connect to PC (tried all USB ports etc).
Also MI flash tool doesnt do anything with that, so, any idea or solution?
Thank you, sorry for my english.

So you can boot into fastboot but somehow your PC still won't see the phone?

Are you using USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?
Edit: there is this: https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/
I used this to unlock my bootloader, though I've noticed that it has "unbrick" feature, whatever that may be, haven't tried it before, see if it helps. If you cannot get fastboot working, you're in deep sh*t.
I'm afraid I can't help beyond this, I never bricked a phone badly enough to ruin fastboot, so at this point I'm clueless what you can do other than returning the phone. They unbrick it for you and the warranty wont be void but you'll have to pay.

After booting you have to reboot to bootloader and reflash twrp (if you need them) and if you want to flash some dev rom wipe: DALVIK, CACHE and DATA ONLY from WIPE menu, NOT System, than flash dev rom if you like ...

So I wanted to try out the A12. I really like it, but the ROM makes it unenjoyable. Slow speeds, stutter, lag, delay in actions like: locking the screen, volume control.
I want to ask if I need to do something special to downgrade or I can just simply flash the device? (Wanting to flash Pixel Experience)

Just flash the latest stable release of your MIUI build thru fastboot with miflash and you are set.
Dont attempt to flash anything via TWRP or any other method, or you will brick your phone.
Also, "DO NOT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER".
=)
Thank you very much for your help!
I want to also ask why is my MiFlash "flashing" the phone in 0 or 1 second. I know that it does not flash the phone.
Can you help me solve this issue?

Some questions to understand the situation...
Is the usb debugging option enabled in the developer settings of the phone?
Are the phone drivers installed correctly on the pc?
Have you tried to restart the pc after installing miflash and drivers?
Have you tried to start miflash as administrator?
Usb Debugging is enabled
I didn't install any drivers, since I didn't see it was required
The PC has been restarted since, Yes.
I didn't try it yet.

Also try to change the USB port to which you connect the phone to the PC if 2.0 is better.

I have found out, that the same drivers are also included in Mi Flash, and that you just need to boot Windows with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled to be able to install all the drivers.

Disconnect phone from PC and reboot Fastboot Mode, then re-connect to PC.
This is because, after an initiated Flash, Fastboot Mode may not accept any more input.
Also make sure to not reboot Fastboot Mode while phone is already connected to PC. You need to connect after you rebooted Fastboot.
This sounds weird, but you can also try using a different PC. Mi Flash is stubborn.
You can also try putting the ROM-folder directly to C:/.
Mi Flash doesn't like spaces in folder-names, and although you don't have any spaces I would still do it... Mi Flash's errors are unpredictable.
And yeah, like RollDload said, try using a different USB port
or try this: https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-poco-f3/
this was te only way to get my F3 back.
Hello, i tried helping my grandmother by installing the global rom on her Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro WIFI, however as it didn't work i tried forcing the rom onto it by flashing it manually using fastboot, after this i am not able to power it on, or reach fastboot. It's just a black screen it doesn't matter how long you hold the power key it's just completely black.. Is there something i can do???? Or is it completely destroyed?
Global ROM is not available for PRO version. Probably you flashed a wrong one. Try flashing back the CN one matches your model.

long press "Volume Down" + "Power" for a few seconds at the same time and then release only"Power" once the fastboot logo appears, finally release "Volume Down" to enter the fastboot mode

Yeah so the only problem with this is that mine won't even show up even though i have said drivers installed.. I'm starting to think it's hard bricked
Hello, yes same as me. The tablet are in the 9008 edl state when you put it on your computer. there are many flashing tools out there, the problem are the flash authentification from xiaomis side. i prepared a empty pc with windows 10 and loaded the last fastboot image. then i got a telegram contact from a russian guy who was able to use the xiaomi auth procedure, cost me 30 dollar and 3 days to find out this crap
Xiaomi needs a better way to unbrick its devices instead of Authorized Mi Accounts
Xiaomi has locked down the EDL mode on all of its devices, making it nigh impossible to unbrick a device without an Authorized Mi Account. Read on for more!

When it's plugged into the PC, is it recognised with "fastboot devices" or "adb devices"?
If it is you should be able to wipe with "fastboot -w" and start again.
Google detailed instructions.

Unfortunately no, i do not get any response from fastboot whatsoever, there's no device detection in either fastboot or device manager. I even tried on my laptop which is brand new still no sign of life

Don't give up yet!
Charge the tablet with another cable that you know works.
Make sure that you have the most up to date version of Platform Tools.
Make sure that when you're in the Command Prompt that you are in the Platform Tools folder.
Check connections with another device....

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.

It will not.
If the Flash aborts, it won't even get to the stage of locking the bootloader.

Because if you lock bootloader while flashing a rom with a different region than what came in the box, you will hard brick your phone
