Bootloader issues... - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I was trying to update my room to the latest 10.0.4 release when I did something wrong and am now having bootloader issues.
My Name 5 pro was working fine on non ARB 10.0.3 when I decided to update to 10.0.4. I couldn't find a non ARB 10.0.4 to flash so I decided to make my own via the instructions found on another thread in this forum.
I followed that to a T and went to flash, after doing a full wipe via TWRP, the homemade non ARB 10.0.4 via TWRP and received an error message.
I didn't have any other version of a good ROM on my phone to flash so ended up side loading a good copy of a non ARB 10.0.3 ROM.
It did flash successfully and I have a working RN5Pro.
My issue is, when my phone boots up, it says 'unlocked' at the bottom of the boot screen. When I reboot into the bootloader, the phone is not recognized by any program on my computer. ADB, any of the MIUI programs etc...
After booting to the bootloader, when I plug my phone onto my computer a small tiny message appears in the upper left hand corner of the screen that says. 'push any button to shut down'
When I go to settings > additional settings > developer options the "OEM unlocking' field is greyed out and not able to be toggled.
It seems like the phone software thinks it is unlocked, but the bootloader says it's not.
And none of the MIUI programs connect to the phone. Yes, USB debugging had been enabled.
Anyone able to help me get this bootloader issue straightened away?
Thanks in advance

After reading and reading and reading I came to a forum post where one poster recommended trying a different USB port on my computer.
I did this and it solved the connection with my phone.
Strange, as the other USB port was the one I had used many times before without any issues.
Anywho, I'll leave this posted as it may help someone in the future.

Stuck at bouncing dots [SOLVED and ROOTED]

ORIGINAL PROBLEM:
Pixel XL 128gb VS, received this morning with 63L.
1) Enabled debugging and OEM unlock.
2) Took the update as everyone said 63V is ok. But it turned out to be 63X(?) (I am on VZW network but phone purchased directly from google).
3) Used adb to get into bootloader mode and unlocked bootloader, which reset my phone and started fresh.
4) Enabled debugging again, OEM unlock was greyed out this time.
5) Rebooted, a message popped up something like 'needs to be locked to verify update' then google screen with unlocked lock symbol in the bottom.
6) Robooted again just to test. Still showed same thing, everything else seems to be working fine.
7) went back into adb mode and did fastboot boot boot-to-root.img
8) adb said successful
9) Phone restarted and showed the screen with bouncing dots. That was 55-ish minutes ago. Nothing else happening, but the screen with jumping dots.
Anyway to fix it or am I screwed?
Edit: Just tried and see if adb recognizes it now, nope.
@n3far1us,

THE FIX
After about 6 hours of bouncing dots and trying out various things, @dowlf finally saved my life.
To recover the phone, I followed-
1) Boot to bootloader
2) Select 'Recovery' then once in recovery hold power and vol-up buttons for 5 sec then let go of the vol-up (but keep pressing power)
3) From there, choose Apply Update from ADB
4) Run 'adb sideload blahblah.zip' (mine was 63X OTA)
5) Choose 'Reboot system now' once copying done.
THE ROOT
After figuring out how to fix it, I immediately went back trying to root it again.
However, this time I decided to do more research and it appeared that I may have used an outdated boot-to-root.img which kicked off the bootloop. The first file was dated 10/31 and the second one I found was dated 11/03. I decided to try the 2nd one this time with "fastboot boot" command and voila!
My Pixel is successfully rooted on 63x!
Thanks to @Chainfire for all the hard work!
Oh and this is the link where I found the second file from-

Make sure you have the latest android SDK for adb and fastboot or it won't play very well

alright, so i got stuck in ALMOST same situation, rooted my device got stuck on dots.
googled my problem and found this thread and found it more helpful, the only thing creating confusion is the OTA required.
got my device on 11th of this month and i guess started using it on 12th or 13th, and when i turned it on it asked me for updates and straight away i downloaded all the updates, but unfortunately i forgot to check what build number i was on.
so could you guys please help me out with the OTA version?
shall i go with the latest one?
and the rest is the same right?
like after sideloading the OTA file my device will be back to stock and unrooted ?
OKAY SO I'VE SOLVED MY PROBLEM BY JUST INSTALLING OTA WITH SIDELOAD COMMAND.
Thank you for the solution guys.

Device descriptor failed after bootloader update

Hi all, learning fast, not there yet, so forgive me if I ask something less than brilliant here
I can't connect my Tab S 8.4 wifi to any pc anymore (tried 4 different PCs and 4 different cables) after upgrading bootloader with Odin last year.
I keep getting "device descriptor failed" in Device Manager (both win7 and win10).
My son did drop and break the usb/power port which I replaced myself. Could be a hardware error, but everything worked before and after my repair, just not after bootloader upgrade. Forgive me, I don't know which bootloader is currently installed, in any case one which works with android 5.1 and not with 7.1, which I unsuccessfully tried to flash.
COderbear was so kind as to direct me towards the bootloader, which I thought TWRP was.
Since I cannot connect to a PC, I cannot update the bootloader....catch 22...
Thx for ur input.
Ps Hardware failure is a possibility, but not conclusive guys. Tablet is working fine.
In what way have you been flashing stuff have you been doing anything on trwp or oden......

I used ODIN to update bootloader 1-2 years ago to flash an original Samsung ROM which was already rooted. After the bootloader flash I cannot connect to a PC anymore.
I n the mean time I have learned about TWRP and used it to flash a custom ROM, all via SD card, as I cannot connect to a PC.
The only one which did not get me stuck at the black Galaxy TAB S screen is the cm12.1 custom ROM with android 5.1.
All others (see above) with android 7.1 have gotten stuck.
I thought TWRP was the bootloader, but it isn't, kindly pointed out by COderbear in another thread. :good:
As I understand it, the only way to update the bootloader to a current version to successfully upgrade to a custom 7.1 ROM.
Since I cannot connect to any PC => "device descriptor failed", I cannot update the bootloader with ODIN.
So I cannot upgrade to an android version above 5.1. That's the problem.

Yeah, but ur not me
I have a sneaky suspicion that it's the usb port which I've swapped.
I've found two threads somewhere on Google relating to using another cable, must be a hardware failure or substandard part.
Can't explain it otherwise.
There is no way to update a bootloader via SD, right?
Logical, the bootloader's the first thing it reads to start up.....
Anyway, thought it was worth a try to post a thread, u never know what crazy solutions come to pass in android world.... (iOS too for that matter)

Bootloader can only be updated with oden only any thing else won't work.......
It is not issue of fleshed software. I have this issue during last 2 months. Official service center didn't find any clue during 2 weeks so i get back my Tab. All story starts, i suspect, after 1 month using magnet cable. Then suddenly charging current start to be lower then usual (Galaxy Charging Current App) and i decide to check different chargers and PC. I found that tablet cannot connect to any PC - "device descriptor failed". During playing with "USB debug" on/off and USB modes i connected tablet to PC once. But during Odin flash it stuck in "Getting PIT file..." and i still didn't update anything.
I suspect that it is some hardware issue in part that responsible for USB communication.
Issue solved. Tried on different ports with combination USB-hub. On some ports it completely invisible, on some "usb device not recognized". But after two weeks once i get connected and Tab was detected - then immediately flash stock CQB1 with TWRP 3.1.0. Now it still detected by PC.
I suspect micro-crack in motherboard or some HW issue on some SW combination (modem SW).

Help Needed - Bricked

Before I get going - yes I know I messed up. I do have plenty of experience flashing ROMs etc, albeit I'm absolutely not an expert. This was purely a not thinking moment.
So I flashed my Samsung Tab S4 with Kali Nethunter a while back, not really used the tab since. Without a great deal of thought, I decided to put the device back to factory. I went back into the OS and flicked the OEM toggle - utter braindead move. Obviously the device now comes up with a warning, the exact wording is:
"Security Error: This device has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair / return for this issue may have additional cost"
I can still access download mode.
Right, now you've finished laughing/cussing me I did some digging and apparently I can still flash with Odin if its the official ROM? I went to SAMMobile and downloaded the latest ROM and Odin fails with a write error.
What I need to know is:
How bad have I messed up?
Is this recoverable?
Any help appreciated.
Hello there,
So yes, pretty bad mistake but these things happen but it should be recoverable. Just follow the link to get your device booted up! Hopefully the link is for your variant, if not look into installing twrp recovery for your device. Once installed you can back up your data and flash the rom compatible using twrp. Then set up the device and restore your data but make sure it's unlocked or your error may repeat itself! Also you have to find the right version of Odin, they do vary some are patched. Have fun!!
Recovery
Hi,
Thanks for the reply Jedi.
It already has TWRP on it, but recovery is inaccessible since I turned the OEM lock back on. The only thing I can now access is download mode but it can't seem to write to it, which I'm guessing is because the OEM lock is back on. I thought I might still be able to write the official Samsung ROMs even with the OEM lock but it doesnt seem like its the case. Obviously no access to ADB to do a Fastboot unlock either. Fresh out of ideas.
Any other solutions?
bump - anyone? lol, really not looking for an expensive door stop.
It seems you're at the dead end. However, there might be a solution for this, not sure though does it work. But go to OnePlus forum and you'll find how to recover from bricked device. You still got hope because of TWRP. good luck bro
OK, so for anyone wondering if this is fixable, the answer is YES!
You can flash the standard ROM even with the bootloader locked. Clearly what I downloaded from SAMMobile wasnt compatible, however when I used Frija, it found and downloaded the correct ROMs.
Another sticking point of this was the infamous USB 2.0 issue, I assumed the ROM was failing again, however when I finally could be arsed to try it on my old PC, its worked like a charm.
So there you have it:
Latest version of Odin
Latest Samsung USB drivers
Latest ROM downloaded from Frija
Put the tablet into download mode and flash away.

[SOLVED] Trying to unbrick phone from "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" after failed OFFICIAL OS update.

I have a bricked Redmi Note 5 Pro. Stock firmware, locked bootloader, did literally nothing that would cause this. Just updated firmware (it happened few years ago, just now decided to try and repair it), and after update It's stuck in Mi-Recovery 3.0, with options only for "Reboot", "Wipe Data" and "Connect with MIAssistant", with red text at the bottom "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" (see photo). Tried everything form this menu, nothing solves the problem. I can boot into fastboot but can't use it as the bootloader is locked and debugging is off. I can go into EDL mode but can't flash as I need to log in into Mi Account, and my sister (this phone was hers) forgot the password and even the account which was connected to this device. I was looking for MiFlash that bypasses authorization but can't find any that is not marked as malware (anyone knows of any that is safe?). At was past the warranty and I've tried to ask few phone-repair shops but the said that is unrepairable.
Any ideas what I can check or try next to solve this problem?
BTW. Does anyone knows why all of this happened? As I already said, never did anything with OS, only updated it which caused brick. My only idea is, as this phone was bought not from official store, that it might be a phone that was bought cheaper in china, then flashed with modified global OS and after update it was replaced with official global OS which bricked the phone. No idea if something like this is possible.
Edit [Sep 19, 2021]: I got somewhere. Used Firehose file to flash whyred global image without authenitcation. Got into system. I can at least go into fastboot and it's detected correctly in windows. Now I'm trying to get root, flash TWRP and any non-stock OS. Couldn't flash directly via fastboot because of anti-rollback check. Tried to do "fastboot boot twrp_rn5pro.img" which resulted in FAIL in console (status read failed - too many links) and "The system has been destroyed - click the power button to shutdown".
Edit2 [Sep 19, 2021]: Looks like my bootloader is still locked and that's why I can't flash custom recovery. But when I look in the phone settings it says that my phone is already unlocked. Checking in fastboot via PC says otherwise. Enabled OEM unlocking, but fastboot still says "FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device". Can't unlock it using MiUnlock cause they say that I need to set my account as available to unlock in unlock status on my device, but I can't do it as my device says that it's already unlocked.
Edit3 [Sep 20, 2021]: I've tried other tool: XiaoMiTool V2 (by Francesco Tescari). As the option "My device works normally I want to mod it" didn't work I chose "My device is bricked I want to unbrick it". Selected option without unlocking bootloader (wouldn't work). And it actually auto-detected that it's chinese phone and flashed chinese OS (MIUI 10.3 Stable). At the boot I got a prompt that this device is locked and I need to log into my Mi account (the one I logged in in the last ROM - from first Edit), after logging in it let me go through setup (luckily there was English). But phone still says that it's unlocked while it's still locked in fastboot. So in the end it didn't got me anywhere, but at least I know that orginally it was a chinese phone.
Edit4 [Sep 20, 2021]: Finally solved the problem! Used this tutorial. Did everything like shown on video and at the end I have MIUI 12 with unlocked bootloader (this time it's actually unlocked - checked with fastboot). Managed to flash TWRP using dummy.img and flashing to recovery. Couldn't boot from img, but vol+ + power did the job. With working recovery I can do everything else I wanted to do.
I had the same issue, which I also managed to fix. I thought I'd share what I did here.
My phone was bricked with access to MIUI recovery and Fastboot. My phone was locked, however my phone was not linked to my Mi account, and so I couldn't unlock it using the Mi Unlock tool. The only way to get into EDL mode was via the testpoint method. It's not as scary as people may think.
Many of the YouTube videos on testpoint show that you have to touch the two terminals while pushing the cable into the phone. Several times I was able to activate EDL mode without doing both at the same time - i.e. I could just connect the cable and touch the two terminals (I used a paper clip) and the phone would enter EDL mode. I think it might have had something to do with me pressing the power button. In my case, I had to have the battery disconnected from the circuit to get into EDL mode.
I used the Xiaomi Flash tool. Always remember to select not to relock the bootloader. I think it's stupid that relocking is the default option and that the radio buttons are at the bottom of the program and sometimes not visible on a laptop. That's how I got into this mess in the first place!
One of the things that I think causes the "MIUI version" problem is attempting to install the incorrect stock ROM. The phones may be fussy about which stock ROM they will accept. In my case, I thought the phone was a global version, then worked out that it was probably a Chinese version.
I replaced the firehose files in all the ROMs I attempted flashing with the ones supplied on XDA. The Xiaomi Flash tool reported success several times, but when starting up the phone it would go into recovery with the "MIUI version" message. I tried about six different MIUI ROMs with the testpoint method, both global and Chinese, before stumbling on the one that worked (after replacing the firehose files): whyred_images_V11.0.2.0.PEICNXM_20191023.0000.00_9.0_cn
When I got back into MIUI, I linked the phone to my MI account and then attempted flashing the latest LineageOS (which was what I was trying to do in the first place), using the Lineage recovery. The phone wasn't accepting the Lineage recovery, so I flashed OrangeFox-R11.0-Stable-whyred. I had to boot to Orangefox in order to flash it. You copy the Orangefox zip file to your phone using your computer when you have MIUI up and running, then you enter Fastboot and run the following command from your computer:
fastboot boot recovery.img
From Orangefox, you then select the Orangefox zip file on your phone and swipe to install.
Once that was done, I rebooted to recovery and did a wipe of the phone. It wasn't enough for me to wipe Dalvik/ ART Cache and Cache (as recommended), I had to also wipe System, Vendor and Data. (I tried just the first two and the LOS installation was corrupt, even though it was reported as being successful.) I then copied LOS to a micro SD card, inserted it into the phone and mounted it, before flashing LOS by navigating to the zip file on the SD card, selecting it and selecting wipe to install.
Finally success!
I think the key with the testpoint method is to keep trying ROMs until you stumble on the one that works. If the Xiaomi Flash tool reports success, I think it means you are doing something right. I also wonder if a lot of people who have the "MIUI version" issue have a phone with the Chinese ROM and don't realise it.
Hope this helped someone!
by any chances how do you unlock bootloader if you just bypass the mi account?

the reason is I got my phone Redmi Note 5 Pro on fb marketplace by swapping my old phone, when I'm using it there's no mi account logged in on my phone then I tried to install the latest MIUI 12 by flashing it on MiFlash but I didn't notice that I didn't change the setting on clean all so it locked my bootloader, after I manage to fix the issue about my phone because it doesn't open and it only boot on recovery with a message "This MIUI...." and make it boot by flashing cn official rom, it says that my phone is locked and I need to logged in the old mi account, I already ask the previous owner but he said he doesn't have an access on that account, even the number and email are already lost

If it's locked and you haven't registered the phone with Mi Account, then you will need to use test point. There are a lot of claims that it's not necessary, but I tried many of them and it wouldn't work. I think they are a load of rubbish to get you to pay money. Test point is not that hard, but you need to pick the right ROM.

Unable to Flash TWRP or anything else

Hi there,
first of all, sorry for my bad english.
I want to remove the Stock ROM from my Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 | SM-T830) and install something else (https://www.getdroidtips.com/android-12samsung-galaxy-tab-s4/).
For some Reason Samsung forced me to do a factory reset to unlock the bootloader (maybe I did it wrong, but now it happened, so it is how it is). Now the OEM Unlock Options says "Bootloader is already unlocked", but when I go into Download mode, I have multiple Problems:
1.: When I enter download mode by Booting into Recovery (adb reboot recovery) and choose "reboot to bootloader", OR by entering it directly using "adb reboot bootloader", I dont get the Warning Screen so I get into download mode directly.
2.: When entering Dowload mode as descibed in problem 1, I also dont get the informations at the Top left, I only see the Download Icon on a blue background but when restarting the tablet and holding Volume Up and Volume Down simuntainuasly, it will show the warning (in the correct cyan colors) and in the next step it shows me those status informations at the top left.
3.: However, regardless to how I get into download mode, the colors of the download mode screen will change to a blue filter version after one second. but I did never activate any blue filter on the device, and on any other device, the colors are displayed correctly.
4.: Any instalation with Odin3 failed on the device, regardless to how i got into download mode
In any online article I read, noone has any problems with installing something when in download mode.
Also, the KG-Status is displayed as "checking, I dont know if this is good or not.
What am I doing wrong, why can't I install anything on the device?
what is wrong with download mode? post a picture.
drivers installed correctly? check in windows device manager.
what does not work with Odin? what error message?
First of all, thank you for your reply!
1.: The Picture shows that the is something wrong with the Download mode of the Tab S4, because the Colors are not being displayed correctly (as you can see, the colors of the other devices are much more cyan), and I would not have mentioned that if the device would just be unable to show colors correctly, but in the Warning before the Download mode, the Colors are displayed as they are on the other devices, so the eventually the device wants to tell me something, but I dont know what.
2.: Well, I am pretty sure that the drivers are installed Correctly, because Flashing a Galaxy Tab S2, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S5 worked perfectly with the same driver.
3.: I'l attach a Screenshot of Odin.
ALso, what does "KG STatus: Checking" mean? Is it the reason for the problem, or is it good? On the Web I could only find "Kg Status: Locked" and "KG Status: Unlocked". should I unlock it? If yes, how?
you say any installation with Odin3 failed. you are trying to flash TWRP.
try to flash something different.
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#instructions
not sure about the display, though.
Well, I have a porblem with the Program that is mentioned in the Guide you linked, Frija asks for a CSC, and I dont know what I have to enter there, I only know that the device is a SM-T830/gts4lwifi.
CSC is region code
Rooting, ODIN, Firmware, CSC Information And Myths Debunked / Noob's Guide To Samsung Devices
Since a lot of people will have their Galaxy S22 Ultra soon and I myself am thinking about either getting an S21 Ultra or S22 Ultra, I wanted to summarise a lot of information I found out during researching as Samsung devices are quite different...
forum.xda-developers.com
Okay, maybe I am an Idiot or so, but it does not work, Frija does not find any Firmware for the SM-T830, flashing a custom build of TWRP also does not work, folowing other Guides to install Magisk doesn't work, and using Odin to Flash a System Imagge (in the Guide I saw this was how they did it) also does not work.
Also "adb sideload" does not work using the Stock Recovery, so I really need TWRP to do so.
When searching for the KG Status, I found out that Samsung devices are checking themselves for a Week or so before accepting any Unofficial images, since I factory reseted the Tablet two days ago, the device may check itself. So should I eventually wait a Week before trying it again?
I dont know what I could do, so that seems logical for me, do you think that might solve the Problem?
Well, if RMM/KG state is prenormal you would see message "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Anyway, try to flash official ROM and wait for KG state while device is connected to internet.
you can download according to your region from https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-T830

I dont know what I could do, so that seems logical for me, do you think that might solve the Problem?

Setting the 7 days back works

Okay, maybe I am an Idiot or so, but it does not work, Frija does not find any Firmware for the SM-T830, flashing a custom build of TWRP also does not work, folowing other Guides to install Magisk doesn't work, and using Odin to Flash a System Imagge (in the Guide I saw this was how they did it) also does not work.
