are you tried this method before? the thread for Kenzo

It could work with devices with unlocked bootloader but in this case we couldn´t need it; devices with unlocked bootloader can be flashed using MiFlash Tool/fastboot and eventually TWRP.
It doesn´t work in devices with locked bootloader.
Technically script sends device to EDL but like the bootloader it´s locked it refuses to boot in EDL mode and restarts in the system finally.

is it true EDL flashing more 'clean' than fasboot flashing method?

Sorry, What do you mean?
If you ask if through EDL it's a cleanest method, no, there's no difference with fastboot method that you can use using MiFlash Tool or using fastboot commands to flash partitions

thanks mate for the answer!

Do not worked
Hi.
This treatment does not work for redmi note 6 pro.

In my opinion Google should make EDL mandatory on any and every phone. If I remember correctly EDL makes Snapdragon phones unbrickable. Though Xiaomi has been locking it off and using proprietory code to put authorization locks on it.
I'm guessing because it's a major vulnerability (on Kenzo, I think EDL meant you could throw any file at the phone) but the easy fix there is simply enforcing a hardcoded checksum for any incoming recovery file.
But really Google needs to make sure phones can be easily recovered by consumers from even the dodgiest bootloader flashes, botched flash memory situations, modem edits, mismatched firmware somehow flashing to the wrong phone and whatever other ways a phone can be messed up.

Question Bootloop to fastboot logo and back in lock state

Hi everybody,
yesterday I tried flashing the stock pocof3 rom back onto my phone, but since it got stuck in a bootloop at the fastboot logo. Showing the poco logo for a milisecond and then straight to fastboot..
(before this I flashed twrp and the arrowOS recovery and images a few time trying, without succes, to install this rom)
Last thing I did was flash via the mi-flash tool and did't see the "clean and lock" selection so it's also in lock state again.
I cant get adb to find the phone although the mi-flashtool is finding it.
anyone any tips?
I tried the vol up power trick, but this didn't help, keeps loading into fastboot

I dont recall giving an error, so i dont think so
now it is though, when trying to flash the firmware. error erasing boot_ab (failed: erase not allowed in lock state)

I'm not sure, but you may still be able to flash official ROMs.
But in "Configuration" make sure Erase is disabled

BAD NEWS... your Poco is bricked. You cannot flash ANYTHING using a PC when your bootloader is locked.
(I did same thing on a Mi11 5g last week and ended up selling it on eBay for spare & repairs
I tried sideload flash, miflash, copying update.zip to internal storage via ADB, and many other options - all without success).
- if your POCO is under warranty in your country (i.e. not a chinese import)... contact Xiaomi Support they can re-flash correct ROM
- Ask your local phone repair store... they *might* be able to flash original ROM back by using "Chimera" engineering software.

this doesn't seem to be an option. there is a checkbox with "erase all" but all are already unchecked

- Bootloader was re-locked whilst a custom ROM was in the phone.
(MIUI with Locked bootloader will not boot up where ROM is not stock or does not match the region/product code).
You cannot apply for bootoader unlock because you cannot boot up into Android and request the unlock via Developer mode.
You cannot remotely (via PC cable) flash any ROM into a Xiaomi / POCO phone whilst botloader is locked.
You are in a chicken and egg situation.,,, but if you find a way to repair your phone, please let us know how you achieved it.
Good luck!

If the system hasn't booted up yet there is a chance that you will be able to unlock bootloader again. Try it.

That's what I'm thinking too ...
Connect the phone to pc and do the bootloader unlock again via the mi unlock app - you don't need to apply again and stuff as long as you're able to recognise the phone inside app correctly

thanks everyone for all the replies!
tried unlocking it via the mi unlock tool (latest) but it says (in chinese) its locked by nr 123***456 by searching the phone - can't unlock
edit:
google lens translates:
X The phone has been locked by the account number 661****647 by searching the phone, Can't unlock
but it's not the nr. of my account..

Is it not even possible to flash Official ROMs?
Isn't there like a system that it checks the signature of the ROM and if it's a signed ROM it allows the flash? Or am I mistaken?

Nope bootload locked = no 'remote' flashes via pc
Apparently there is an 'authenticated user' mode for Xiaomi engineers in MiFlaah and also an EDL Emergency Download Mode which you can trigger by shorting out 2 pins on the motherboard so bypass bootloader lock and flash any ROM
Neither were available options for me

I'm now in the procedure to sent it back under warranty. any idea if this is possible and what the cost would be if not under warranty?
If all fails i'll try the shorting by pins, should be interesting

I think a warranty repair claim is your best bet ... I have never read anywhere that unlocking bootloader invalidates Xiaomi warranty (Unlike Samsung and so many other brands!)
If warranty repair is re refused try a few independent repair shops
Last resort is get the back cover off the phone and short out the EDL pins
Good luck!
Let us know if you manage to get your phone booting up again

I once hardbricked (complete blackscreen, not even Fastboot reachable) a Poco F3.
I requested a replacement from Amazon and that worked.
I said a software update bricked it.
Of course having to do that is really bad, but I was scared of opening the back.

Question Unbricking Motorola G40 through EDL

After a decade,5 phones and countless roms later I finally bricked an android. I relocked bootloader after flashing custom rom without proprt thinking and now phone is stuck on fastboot but will not let me flash anything.
If i try to boot it shows "no os found" error. Fastboot shows "flashing_locked" and i can't unlock it again as it won't boot into OS.
I managed to get into edl mode and QFIL tool is recognizing the device and is reading the imei,partitions. So I think with proper firehose file and elf firmware It is possible to bring back the phone to life.
i want to know if it is possible to port stock rom(xml) to QFIL compatible(elf) file? there are already manuals on creating raw and patch files. So what would it take?

Hi vamsi,
I am also in same problem. I have moto g40 and in the same situation no os found" error. Fastboot shows "flashing_locked". Not able to flash anything.
Can you please guide me how to get into edl mode.I tried below command/sites and none of them worked :-
fastboot oem blackflash - Got error "command restricted"
And tried everything mention in this site https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-boot-into-edl-mode-android/#:~:text=1 Download Fastboot EDL zip file and extract,This will boot the phone into EDL Mode. Nothing worked

You can try this tool.
https://xiaomitools.com/sp-flash-tool-en/
There are also other tools, do a search on XDA and Google.

thx. i tried it, but the problem is that i could not get into edl. the com port is showing up for 1 sec and then it reboots and get into fastboot.
sp tool doesnt accept the scatter file from my rom.
is it possible to flash twrp with locked bootloader and restore it?
or is the only way to get a remote support?
thx

It is not obvious for recent devices if the soc is not supported.
EDL mode is only for Qualcomm devices.

thx,
so i've tried the tools.
i get into preloader state but wihout serial port so mtk stucks. Maybe its windows 11?
i also tried the xiaomi tool v2 but its horrible, cause our phone is not in recovery list (i wrote the developer to import it)
also in sp flash tool i don't get the button to bypass security

If still under warranty, send it.

Question OnePlus 11 Unlock bootloader/msm tool/custom rom

Hello brothers!
I'd like to know more about unlock bootloader, msm tool and about custom rom.
Does oneplus give us the ability to unlock the bootloader?
Is it possible to create a msm tool for it? I know that oneplus 10 pro had a problem with it...
As a oneplus 8/8 pro, 6T, op5, op3 and op1 user I always liked the fact that these were perfect phones for development. oneplus gives us such an opportunity at all now? My question is because I haven't seen it on op10pro...
I hope someone can answer these questions and we can talk about it together.
Best regards zelos156 aka zeusgod

There is fastboot enhanced which doesn't save you if you hard brick and can't get into fastboot flashing mode(not stock bootloader). Chinese users say there is a flash tool but nothing has surfaced yet. A dev who was trying to make it work for a cease and desist message from oppo

Oh that's stinks msm was a godsend for me because of the readback function built in to pull stock boot image for magisk

I bricked my OP11 and desperately need MSM : (
BL is locked, it stuck in a bootloop to recovery mode
PC can't detect the phone.
I couldn't get back to FASTBOOT with pressing physical key. Please help!

am there at moment trying to figure out next

Thanks for sharing, I definitely need to try that! Did you press all keys and hold, or just press randomly?

So I can't get the drivers to recognize the device. OP does not have the 11 listed in the drivers download page. Are there other drivers that work?
**UPDATE** Disregard. Figured it out.

if you can access 9008 mode then you can recover It
