Redmi 6 pro bricked

Guys,
I need help, I was upgraded to Redmi 6 pro for the miui 10, but when I did an update the phone did not start the system and hence I can not find a solution to install a new system. I have tried some methods because I can not separate the OEM to use Miflash.
Help me please !!!

Have you tried to enter fastboot and flash than with miflash?
Another thing you can try is to enter stock recovery and do a wipe.

I already tried to perform a wipe, but it is still in looping, when I try to use Miflash it has a "erase boot error"

Then you need to enter edl mode.
If your Bootloader is locked you have to use the testpoint Methode:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77709470&postcount=3

Testpoint EDL mode also wont work.
Need EDL Flash permission from the Xiaomi, which they wont give..
My device is in bricked state for the last 10 days.
Better visit your nearest Service point ..

i hope no need to change/replace the hardware...

You can try to use XiaomiTool and flash your phone with instead.
https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/
Also, have you tried fastboot boot recovery.img
To see if you can boot TWRP or something?
(fastboot boot might work better than flashing)
I don't have any experience with Miflash, so can't offer any advice on that.
Personally I would try fastboot boot first, since XiaomiTool is in alfa-version.

Sorry for my late reply, I had forgotten to answer this earlier, did you try to perform a regular flash (not bricked option) from XiaomiTool. if that doesn't work either, maybe you should ask the developer of XiaomiTool2 for hints.

if you're still there, i resolve this issue.
you need to jump charge your battery using external charger ( external charger jumped wire direct on your battery). maybe for 30mins.
then try again to charge your phone, if it reapond and have display 0% battery, let it charge for atleast 50% then power ON.
If it stucks on logo.. do reflash.

problem with bootloader/fastboot

Good Morning! I'm having a boring problem with my Mi A2. I can not flash any ROM on my device. In the Fastboot screen does not appear Mi Bunny, although the PC recognizes. This happened after I had to put the phone in EDL mode to restore the stock kidney, in one in a failed attempt to install the miui 10 at the time the phone had got stuck on the screen initialization.
If anyone has a help I would be very grateful. It almost always gets stuck in error 1 or error 7. I don't remember the description but it is almost always an update error.

Mi A2 (jasmine) is not the same as Mi A2 Lite (daisy). Also you need to get AndroidOne Stock ROM and flash it via EDL (and first and foremost, you also need OEM Unlock too). Use Clean All in MiFlash.
If you have Mi A2 instead of mi A2 Lite, go to Mi A2 forums instead.

Oh yes I just went to notice now. But thanks for the help. Actually the xda app identified my device as mi A2 lite. But it's mi A2 Jasmine. I will repost in the correct forum. Thank you.

You can access to recovery or fastboot ?

You need to flash with a firehose (ELF) file without authentication and touching the Test Point found when unmounting the mobile. If you do not do the Test Point, it will continue to take the authentication (I say it because it happened to me)

Redmi note 5 pro with unlocked bootloader stuck on "Redmi - Powered by android" logo

Hi everyone. My Redmi note 5 pro is not turning on, it just gets stucked at the "redmi" logo. I tried disconnecting the battery but that didn't work. Since I can enter fastboot mode I also tried to flash the fastboot miui 12 rom with Miflash but an error appears saying "error flashing partition - write protected" (my phone has bootloader already unlocked). Even in EDL mode I couldn't flash the rom since it doesn't let me authenticate in my xiaomi account and miflash gets stucked at "edl authentication". Can you help me to unbrick my phone? Thank you.

Same thing happened to me and another one of my friends who owned redmi note 5 pro last week. Trust me I literally tried everything, but sadly I had to go for a new phone. The xiaomi service center told me the motherboard needed to be replaced which would cost 4-5k plus the screen would need to be replaced ( if you have even a couple screen cracks ) which would cost another 2-3k. Even then I would advise to go for a new phone.
Still sus how so many RN5 pro are getting the write protected error out of nowhere in the past 15 days. I did see a couple more posts about the same here.

Hi, I have the same problem. So I did enter EDL with the two pins on the mainboard, but when I try to flash miui 12 with QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) I get authentication error. Even if I used a patched firehose programmer file. I tried 3 different patched firehose programmer files.
Does someone have a working patched firehose programmer file for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro?
So If we do not find a working patched firehose programmer file or a xiaomi developer who share his account for 5 min then I think we are not able to solve this problem..

Search it on XDA forum there are links and explanation how to use it.
Tip: use MI flash tool (start with version from 2018 and than newer....)
