Hi, I'm Argentine and I don't know much about English so I'm going to use the google translator and it may not be understood very well.
I'm having a problem, I have my RN5 Pro (whyred) in bootloop, I can flash any frimware from MiFlash / QFIL (fastboot or test point) but it's still the same. I tried to flash a custom rom with all the recovery (all the versions of the TWRP, Orange Fox, RedWolf, PBRP) but it gives me error 7 (I saw tutorials on youtube, it is not useful to edit the update file).
Among many programs I used I found the "Xiaomi ADB / Fasboot tools 6.2.5". When I enter Fastboot mode, I get "Bootloader: unlocked" in the device information, but when I enter ADB mode it says "Bootloader: locked".
What I wanted to know is if it is possible that for this reason I cannot install a rom from recovery, because it recognizes me as "locked".

Hi,
I bricked my Xiaomi Mi 6.
My phone was bought in china, I unlocked bootloader and flashed global version.
Lately I flashed TWRP and Magisk.
Than I wanted to come back to stock and lock bootloader, so I flashed global ROM, everything was fine, stock recovery came back, so I used command "fastboot oem unlock" (I couldn't use Mi Flash, because it just stops working, when I'm trying to do anything). Than phone kept starting only to fastboot. I could also start phone to recovery, but not to system.
So, using MI Flash Unlock I unlocked bootloader again. And now I still can only enter to fastboot or recovery, not to system. And, my PC doesn't see the phone. I don't see the phone after typing adb devices to Command Prompt, also Mi Assistant doesn't see phone. I wiped everything through recovery, but it didn't help.
Please, help me with unbricking the phone. It doesn't need to be with locked bootloader or so, I just want phone to work...
I don't think it is bricked in fastboot the command should be fastboot devices not adb devices try that command
Hopefully someone here has more knowledge to help you sort it out.
You should format your userdata from fastboot that's why you can't boot into the system.
I suggest you to read this https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-install-drivers-xiaomi-mi6/ page before anything and then get XiaoMiFlash from that page, install it. It will also install fastboot and adb drivers for you.
Then I suggest you to use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 adb & fastboot tool since it's easy to use.
After getting miflash ready with the drivers and also the tool from the second link,
Reboot to fastboot and type
fastboot devices
After seeing your device type
format userdata
Then find a twrp image if you'd like to install any custom rom and install it from fastboot (you can find how to do it in their respective threads) or download miui from miui site then follow the instructions there go back to stock. But in case of the latter you may not to select lock bootloader option in miflashtool in case you may want to experiment with custom roms in the future.
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.

Hi!
I´m not new into flashing mobile phones, but with my new Mi Max 3 I´m not sure to do the right things.
I bought the 6Gb/128Gb Variant (so Chinese or international Version) and the Seller (from Gearvita) sent me the Phone with unlocked Bootloader and GlobalRom. It seems to be the official Global Rom, because there are normal OTA Updates from Xiaomi and they work.
I tried to flash TWRP via fastboot mostly for enabling Camer2Api and for changing the DPI with root-access, but there is no responding from the phone while Fastboot Mode
ADB Driver are installed, Developer Options and USB-Debugging are enabled. If I start the CMD or PowerShell it recognized "adb devices" as normal and with the command "fastboot bootloader" the phone goes into Fastbootmode, but then there is no reaction anymore to any command. "fastboot devices" says "no device found" , "flash recovery .img" says nothing or sometimes it says image "size too large"
So what is the best way to get a save unlocked bootloader official from Xiaomi? Mi Unlock Tool don´t recognize my phone, too :crying:
I know I should go back to normal Chinese Rom and locked bootloader, than unlock the bootloader official way and then flash GlobalRom and install TWRP, but how to get back to CN Rom without doing any mistakes?
I´m on latest 10.3.5.0 since yesterday - I hope there is no problem with ARB in that case.
Thanks in Advance
In the meantime I checked the fastboot behavior with an older Notebook (Windows 7) and now everything is working correctly.
I had to use adb sideload in TWRP and was able to install Magisk and Camera 2 API Enabler.
But I tried soooo many Driver Setups with Windows 10 and nothing was workling as it should
I´m not sure if I have still a fake unlocked bootloader, but everything is working for me now

Interesting. I have a somewhat similar experience. Got a China phone with global rom (4/64GB variant.) The phone updated to 10.3.5.
I immediately rooted it (using TWRP boot; did not flash TWRP - with a magisk Zip) an all seemed fine.
After your post I tried to test the process again - and to my greatest surprise
1. I see the phone with fastboot devices but
2. The same TWRP I booted in before (with the same software version) does not boot any more
I get an error message with adb and the phone reboots.
Not sure where to go from here...
Hi it's me again
i've bicked my phone last week, it only shows the image of realme and then a text that says the boot/recovery image have been destroyed, the problem with this brick its THE BOOTLOADER ITS BLOCKED AND THE PHONE CANT START THE RECOVERY, so the options are pretty limited, plus my device is china version.
The things and tools that i've been trying are:
*ADB FASTBOOT (i know i already said that the bootloader it's blocked but i had to try)
*Qualcomm snapdragon flash tool QIFL
*Qualcomm premium tool
*XTM Inferno tool
*OPPO download tool
*MSMDownload tool
Yeah, i've tried a few things already (not too much to be honest), but with everyone theres a problem.
Adb dont recognice because its not in fastboot, QIFL needs a xml file but the roms don't have it, and i dont know how to program it, XTM inferno tool dont recognice the device, and oppo and msm download tool needs an account, if anyone knows what can i do now, please let me know, i'm a little bit sad cause i haven't made it to unbrick
So sad that you can't enter fastboot. It seems that means you can't send commands to your phone.
Recently, I saved my "soft brick" China version RMX. I also get "boot/recovery image have been destroyed" notification, but I can enter fastboot mode (power+Volume-), and my fastboot is unlocked. I used "fastboot flash recovery" cammand to flash TWRP and another command for vbmeta (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...very-unofficial-twrp-realme-x-stable-t3959556). However, the response in "Windows Command Prompt" is "Failed unknown error".
So I decided to power off and charge my phone. After power off, there is thunder icon, a symbol for charging in powe off state, on the screen. Sunddenly, the phone boot into TWRP automaticly. I connected it to my laptop at once and find TWRP MTP service works which means I can copy the 2.6 GB stock Color OS zip (RMX1901CN_flashable_A17.zip, https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x/how-to/guide-to-stock-rom-stock-recovery-t3974607
, https://sourceforge.net/projects/rmx1901/files/custom_recovery_StockROM_flashable_files/) to internal storage (/sdcard), and I installed it successfully, though there was "Unmount to mount storage" error when I wiped Data in TWRP.
Reboot to system succesfully and showed Color OS setting guide, which showed at the first time you turn on the phone. Recovery changed to oppo stock Recovery, but the unlocked fastboot mode didn't change.
I am not sure wether the link is useful for cracked MSMDownload tool :https://www.techoxygen.com/msm-download-tool/

Thank you very much, i will keep looking, and will see the tool u shared, any step forward i make i will post it, and thanks again
Flash official ofp format stock ROM in EDL mode might be helpful. The links offer ofp ROM, guide & password for download tool. An XDA post also mentioned this link. But I'm still confused about the difference between RMX1901 and RMX1901EX model. Some custom ROM is universal for India and China variant on XDA .

Hi dude, at this time I have not found a way to do it without realme tech support, or remote flash tool.
This device needs a “permission” of realme servers to get flashed. If your device is India version you can ask to boy cracker staff, if your device is China version maybe combine file staff can help.
If you have the option of send it to realme tech support, you should take it

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
