EDL flash help needed - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
Any experts here on how to flash a bricked locked Max 3?
I already opened the Max and installed MiFlash. Connected the pins and the COM appeared.
Strange thing I only get com in normal bootloader (pcsuite) and not in fastboot.
I need fastboot to flash rom.
When I have COM connection and reboot to fastboot, then COM is gone.
I get error 'Cannot flash this rom on comport 10'.
Which rom do I need to flash and what are the correct steps to follow.
Thank you so much.

Moto g5s hard brick no fastboot only blinking notification light

Mine motog5s updated to stock fw and root uninstalled after it it hangs on boot screen. I flashed stock fw again with fastboot but after restart mobile didn't display anything not even vibrate just blinking notification when connect usb wire . how to unbrick only shows qualcomm hs dloader 9008 what to do, pls. reply.
You cannot log into fastboot mode?
qualcomm hs dloader 9008 = EDL mode, you should be able to restore with QFIL: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTO-E-1st-Gen/Moto-E-Not-Boot-Up/td-p/3231144 but it looks like motorola doesn't provide the files ... most likely you'll need a service center
Do not use QFIL. To unbrick, we need the blankflash file for G5S. And it is not on the Internet yet. Do not use the blankflash of any other models. Your best bet is to take the phone to a service center.

Did you try holding the power down button and turning on the phone to enter bootloader?
Thanks for the reply the service center guys sayin as bootloader is unlocked out of warranty. They said mobile is rooted without checking the mobile as its not turning on, how they can say that its rooted . They just talking on phone with other persons but cant provide any solution what can be done.
Please provide any other solution.

You downloaded the unlock key from Moto website by giving them your device serial number. That's how they know you unlocked bootloader. Service center won't help you. But fortunately, there is a way to revive your phone. But I'm not getting the blankflash file anywhere.
Tell me what exactly did you do to your phone.
Thank you,
Ok I just flahsed & tried stock roms, root & custom roms. Then I flashed stock rom of mine region firmware npp26.102.19 then motorola gave the updates to npp26.102.55-1 Dec. patch. Then next day new update came Feb patch npp26.102.55-4 just after it mobile started hanging & when restart it stuck on boot, not booting just stuck on boot animation. I tried TWRP recovery it said encrypted then I entered the unlock pin then it shows all the folders. Then I again fastboot npp26.102.19 to solve the issue but after flashing & restart it did not boot nor screen on no vibration tried several times but no response, when connect with pc or charger a white notification light blinking only & it detected as QHUSB_BULK something like that then I searched for it & install driver then shows as qualcomm dloader 9008.
Ok you should never flash an older bootloader over never one. It's a classic mistake that you made. I suppose we need the blankflash file to repair your phone. Let's wait to see what senior devs say.

Hey, i have unlock the bootloader of my phone and flash the updated rom in my device. After that my phone is just off, i press the power button but it don't turn on, connect do pc or chargers but it not turn on, that is the hard brick, can i have a solution to this?
I have this:
"The Hardbrick tutorial you always craved for
Let's get some things straight
Forget flashing stock firmware anymore this makes permanent changes to your phone's firmware but this is the only thing that will resurrect the fallen lad
Requirements
Albus blankflash
Qualcomm drivers
Adb and fastboot
Bootloader from Albus
Steps
Get the Qualcomm drivers installed… make sure you disable Driver Signature Enforcement for your windows version
Run the script in albus blankflash to get into a dummy bootloader
Now flash bootloader and partition files and recovery from addison2potter.zip
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now try flashing a stock firmware it will flash but you will not be able to boot right now
Now flash or boot TWRP recovery
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
fastboot boot TWRP.img
Now flash the debloated stock ROM or the TWRP Flashable stock build by Gtrcraft
(This is needed to get RIL back )
You should be able to boot into the stock ROM now
Now you can go back to TWRP and flash any ROM of your choice ".
But i don't know if it will work, because i don't know if this files can match my model: moto g5s xt1792
And sorry but i can't post links yet.
Please Help Us.

Just go to fastboot mode and type: "fastboot oem edl"
If you can´t enter fastboot, you have to open your phone and connect the testpoints, then connect cable to pc and releas the test-points

1- install mi flash tool and Qualcomm driver on your Pc
2- open the phone (just remove the battery connector )
3-plug a USB cable in the device
4- short the jtag pins(you can find their location in this page www mobilerdx com/2018/09/xiaomi-redmi-6-pro-test-point-boot-into-edl-9008-mode.html
7-plug the USB cable in the Pc while shortening the pins
If you do these steps mi flash tool should reconize your device and you will be able to flash it

I do not give stock ROM installed.

Hi! I am the owner of a Xiaomi Mi Max 3.
I tried to update it to a stable official ROM using Miflash, instead of checking the box flash_all I marked flash and lock. I blocked the bootloader.
The phone does not start, it only goes into the recovery mode and a message appears in red at the end of the recovery menu "this miui version can not be installed on this device"
(This version of MIUI can not be installed on this device)
I can not change the ROM using Miflash.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks greetings.

Hello
Yes there are other programs you can try and use: QUALCOMM / QFIL
I had a similar problem with a Lenovo Tab4 8 Plus (8704x) device and this QFIL program and the right ROM files solved the problem for me on that Lenovo tablet when it was hard bricked i.e only went into fastboot or recovery mode.
You need to find all the right version flashing files for your device before commencing, i.e you cannot downgrade a MIUI rom it has to be the same as what was / is on your device or an upgraded version. Unless your bootloader is unlocked :good:
https://en.miui.com/thread-432217-1-1.html
https://androidmtk.com/download-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-qfil
Also maybe you can try adb fastboot program if QFIL doesnt work
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-adb-fastboot-tools-t3887359
One last thing I remember is make sure your Xiaomi device is recognised by the computer in all modes if possible; fastboot, recovery for the ADB drivers or QFIL drivers to work properly. A pop up ballon bottom right PC screen will show if drivers are recognised and ready.
All the best with it
Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Fixed! Entering EDL mode and following these steps.

system destroyed, when in fastboot mode and plug to the pc (device not recognised)

So, a few months ago I rooted my device with twrp and then installed magisk manager... A few days later the manager stopped working and I got tired of not being able do do nothing so I tried to unroot. I used mi flash to flash the daisy rom and it didn't work so I tried to load to the twrp app and flash through there. Didn't work either. From then on every time I boot the device it shows the message "the system has been destroyed" and Bc of that I searched for solutions. I kinda found one. I boot to fastboot mode and with the platform tools I write on the command line ". /fastboot devices" and then it shows my device. After I write ". /fastboot boot continue" and it starts booting the device and it has worked for like 2 months but 2 days ago I had to reboot my device Bc it started to freeze but when I load to fastboot mode and plug it to the pc it show a prompt saying "the device is not recognized" and the device reboots to the message "system has been destroyed". Pls help, I've searched everywhere and didn't find any solution
Are you have your bootloader unlocked? I guess no, the most "easy" solution for your problem is test point , never fail, you need to download Qualcomm drivers (search in Google) open your device connect your device, your phone need to be recognized like 9008 in manager drivers of your PC then flash stock room in mi flash (flash all option) my recommendation is flash 10.0.13.0 or 10.0.18 version of stock rom, good luck.

Flashing using MI Flash got stuck

Hello,
I'm using Redmi Note 5 pro. Recently my device went on boot loop. Whenever I tried to restart, it was showing MI Logo for long time, nothing happens. I'm not able to enter into recovery mode as well (Vol Up + Power). But I can go to Fastboot mode (Vol down + power key).
Mine is not bootloader unlocked and I dont think I have enabled OEM Unlocking from the settings.
I tried downloading the ROM from below URL (Rom for Fastboot flash) -> whyred_global_images_V11.0.3.0.PEIMIXM_20191108.0000.00_9.0_global
http://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
http://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=whyred_global&b=F&r=global&n=
When I check, whether the fastboot devices is showing mine or not, I can see my device listed
In another forum, I can across this, before flashing using MiFlash, they asked to download the Edl.cmd file from the below link and run it. I did that as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292
After that, when I select the downloaded ROM, and try to flash it with MiFlash (v2019.12.6.0), it keep showing the below line. but its not getting errored out. progress bar keeps going till the end but it stays with the below status. Attached the screenshot as well.
fastboot %* getvar product 2>&1 | findstr /r /c:"^product: *whyred" || echo Missmatching image and device
Any help with will be much helpful! Thanks in advance!
I think flashing via fastboot on unlocked bootloader is not possible
Hi, you mean locked bootloader is not possible?
If yes, is there a way to fix the phone?
Thanks in advance!

The way i see is Edl flash mode (wait for a proper answer)
I accidentally locked my chinese whyred while flashing global rom using miflash.
The only thing that worked for me was EDL flash chinese rom using QFIL following the tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/fix-arb-bricked-device-qfil-t3841780
I had to use chinese rom for 360 hours until I could unlock the bootloader again.
You need to flash the rom version that matches your device origin (global, china, india, russia, etc..)

Hello, Thanks for letting me know about this method. I tried this but I'm not able to find my devices showing in Device Manager as "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008" (I'm trying with fastboot mode as am not able to go to Recovery mode)
I tried installing the Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 driver using the method shown in the below link
https://www.99mediasector.com/install-qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-install/
1. tried direct installation of exe - didn't work)
2. there was manual method which asked me to reboot in edl mode using the command fastboot oem edl - but this shows error saying FAILED (remote: 'Device is already locked!')
//attached screenshot for reference
Thanks!

You're in fastboot. not EDL mode.
EDL Testpoint - https://youtu.be/dYVR5BgNwG0
Connect the usb cable to both phone and pc, disconnect the battery flex cable, short the two EDL testpoint, and connect the battery flex cable. it will take some practice.
Also, there is a limited time in EDL mode to start flashing, if you too late you will have to repeat again.
Use this tutorial https://youtu.be/ikGsxf_s-zw
It seems shorting pins and edl flashing is the only way for reviving ur phone pal
Good luck
