Hope this thread will make good people or devs to come here & start helping each other. hope soon we will get a new way to fix our device without having mi authorized account.
simply poor move
Xiaomi did the worst thing, I could imaging. I proudly recommended Xiaomi over Huawei, because the bootloader is unlockable.
I also own a Mi 9T, which easily modable.
The simple thing like flashing TWRP and a boot.img fried my Redmi Note 8 Pro after 7 days of ownership.
I opened the device (falsely first from the front removing the display, then gettin the guts that it must be done from the back. Cracked the back glass, ordered a new glass for 3 bucks). Pulling the battery and ack that this will not solve the EDL Mode issue.
The device was now a warrantly less mess, no service center in the world would take on.
I replaced the back and reglued the screen and payed a russian savior to bypass the Xiaomi Authorized Challenge ( a russian GSM forum, I don’t know if posting a link is allowed, so I won’t). It was 20$, far cheaper than a new Mainboard.
Device is now reborn, bootloader still unlocked, but I won‘t ever try to root this piece again.
Hardlocking a flash tool, which is commonly used for cheap 80$ MTK phones is strange. I understand that Xiaomi Shop Rom issue a while ago, but a flash only allowed by China and Russia seams not really better than the Huawei way...
The phone is now used as a Escooter Dashboard/Tachometer, because I don‘t value it any more.

glad i didn't opened the back panel, i don't wanted to take a risk
also my device was in warranty so i decided to send it to Xiaomi Service Care Center.
also there was a Gyro Problem in my device. hopefully they will return in a week,
& they also took my Gmail account/password for some reason.
I have a story fot my RN8P goes yo HARDBRICK, the first
I want to reflash the stock rom ( android 9 ) using LR TWRP, and reboot device is normal, no brick or bootloop, and next week I want to reflash again, because my Lucky Patcher can't instal app.
And I think if I reflash my stock Rom, my TWRP is lost, and I think flash stock is done, I flash TWRP .img using TWRP, but I wrong because I choose flash for "boot" not "recovery",
And I think the first reboot to TWRP for fix it, and my RN8P goes to HARDBRICK, from Mei until now -_-

My story isn't too funny because this is the only time I got hard bricked and fortunately had anti brick flashed.
I was just tinkering around with logo.bin, the bootlogo of device, I found a MTK boot logo editor tool on XDA, succesfully edited and gave to my tester to test, turns out it didn't work, usual bootlogo showed up but didn't go past it, turns out the flashing location of logo.bin in auto generated flashable zip was wrong, I edited it to correct one and took the courageous step to flash it on my device, my bad luck, I would't exactly say it got hard bricked because I could access vol down menu in CFW 1, but still clicking on recovery or fastboot made it reboot with backlight on, my heartbeat went rapidly up LOL, but by god's grace I easily flashed the device with SP flash tool

Hi,
this is my first message here and I hope it is in the right place.
Only 2 days after getting my defy I already managed to brick it.
Basically, I wanted to add hebrew fonts, was playing arround with a file explorer trying to copy the fonts from the microSD to the /system/fonts/ folder, then as the files were not copied I deleted one of them and tried again. Continued playing arround and then did a restart. Only Motorola logo is showing.
I tried the down arrow for starting in "Android system recovery" and tried both wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. I also tried to apply sdcard:update.zip with only the fonts in it. no luck.
I am reading and reading and not finding anything... Can someone please help me?
i think bricked is when it doesnt start at all, so its not that bad
Someone help this guy
psbh, how do you think the defy feels in hand, i like metalic phones , im not sure with this one, its light and plastic
do you value the build quality extremely , like me?
if so does it feel cheap?
thanks for your reply mariu$!
i have to admit that i already solved it by myself ~embarassed~. i should learn to try everything before i am crying for help like a lil girl.
if anyone would get to see this and had the same problem, how i solved it was by installing RSD Lite and flashing the phone with a new .sbf file. i did feel like i was close to die from sadness...
to the defy: the phone indeed feels cheap and i really doubt its outdoor "abilites". it is light and the big screen and fast processor makes it worth the 300€. i have it since 2 days and already dropped it a couple of time and it stayed one piece
i really dont want it o be cheap
do you have the white version? i think that it looks cheaper because it's as it has a rubber band arround it
i saw you mentioned the price in euros, so you bought it in europe, hows the call quality your hearing?
thanks for your answers
I agree that the white version looks cheaper, thats why I got the back one. At least from the front it looks good
I havent had the chance to call with it yet I rarely ever use mobile phones for calling... but the rest is great!
ill probably buy it too
i think after i dive it in the water a few times, it wont feel cheap, after all not many phones can do that, and it must be build seriously to be able to do that
My alternative was the XT720, but i hate the side part and the blue back
The Build quality however is exceptional
in my opinion it doesn't FEEL cheap. I could understand if someone would say it looks cheap from the back though, but i really like the design.

You can't brick a phone by flashing roms (assuming the rom has no radio image) or recoveries, but can when flashing a new radio image and i think when flashing a new SPL bootloader
Your phone is fine if you can get into any one of the following:
ROM
recovery
Bootloader (fastboot ect)
its when you can not get into any of these, you have a true brick.
Please correct me if i am wrong

Real Brick..
Guys I really need some help here.
I've really bricked my phone! I cant flash any ROMs, even small BOOT ONLY ones.
All I get is "error flashing subscriber unit" error...
I've tried RDS Lite 4.8 and 4.8, with Drivers, every time clean uninstall and install.
RDS can see the phone no problem, I've tried changing setting in RDS, no luck...
This is the log from RDS:
ERROR: Flash failure: Phone[0000]: Error flashing subscriber unit. Device API Error: 0xE0030009 Address: 0xB101F000 Command: ADDR (Error Code: e0030009),
Detailed Error Details: Direction of the Error=1000, Command Value=200000, Code Group Number=35
All this happened suddenly after flashing to Chinese 2.2 with Higgsy Mod coming from stock T-mobile UK.
I've searched everywhere, but no one know what's going on.
Any Ideas Please...
Bricked defy for sure
My defy isnt starting at all, was flashing a sbf file when my windows crashed and now my phone is neither entering recovery nor bootloader. I think its bricked but any suggestions would be appreciated( urgently needed).
Everything needed to flash a defy, don't kill it and know what you are doing is in a Sticky in the forum. Very first post.
Edit: That's what happens when you dont see the post date hehe.
To the last poster, if you cant really enter Bootloader or Recovery, I'm afraid you really have a Brick

First make sure your battery has a full charge. You can look up the McGyver usb charging method. Your battery might not have a charge anyone. With this method you can flash another sbf. If this doesn't work then yes, you have a brick.

This happened to me, the phone wouldn't turn on but when plugged in, RSD lite still recognized the phone. If this is the case flash away. Always make sure your battery has enough juice in it. Good luck!

Thanks for your replies guys, btw can you please elaborate on McGyver usb charging method, and my phone is not at all recognised by rsd lite and initially when i was about to flash ie when my phone was is a working condition i had some issues with rsd lite v4.9 too, it would flash only one specific sbf file and none other would start(start bar wouldnt get highlighted but for that one specific fixed sbf file), the only thing that i can see on my phone is when i connect it to usb a white led glows, and finally god forbid if my phone is bricked what do i do? take it back to the shop coz its still within warranty(hardly a month over ) is it ruined by all the firmware stuff that i did? This is one of the best phones ive ever and i dont wwant to lose it. Please help me out! Eagerly waiting for your suggestions...
McGyver USB method

I also got the white LED, have you tried pushing volume down while the phone is connected to your computer with RSD lite running, when I did this, RSD recognized my phone even though my phone didn't show the bootloader. As far ar sbf files I not all worked with my phone. I tried a good deal of sbf's. Try until you find one that boots up.

I think the one that worked for me was the UK Tmobile Build # JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1.
I used baseband switcher after flashing both CM7 and MIUI (current) to get 3g working.

Hi there,
I've been exactly there with my H815. I have tried numerous solutions, but to no avail. On your reddit post I saw that you tried the recovery key combination and ended up in download mode again? Did this happen, after you pressed a button? With my phone, when the LG factory reset screen appeared and I confirmed twice, a long time nothing happened. After a couple of minutes the Android recovery (not TWRP) screen appeared. Maybe you'll have a chance to get your phone recognized via adb sideload or sth. Or start fastboot mode. Maybe you can reflash TWRP? But if you are facing the same problems as me, it probably won't help you.
For me, I ended up sending my phone to LG, despite the fact that the warranty was void. They changed the mainboard and never said anything about repair fees and apparently the phone is on it's way back to me as I write. I hope it arrives tomorrow and I can let you know.
Hang in there! :fingers-crossed:

I cannot give you any guarantees, as I am not associated with any LG support haha. Technically, I am still on warranty, but as I also unlocked the bootloader, installed Custom ROMs etc... the warranty would be void anyway.
I got a reply from LG support that i should send it to their repair shop (some shop in Germany) and they would reply with an estimate of the repair costs. Now, all I got is the tracking number, the phone's on its way home and they did not charge me at all (as of yet). So you could be lucky, but you very well may not be.
I'd say, take your chances and contact LG support, send it in. If they want to charge you a huge amount of money, they can still send it back to you unrepaired and you might be able to fix it yourself. In any case, I wish you the best of luck!

the thing is after you have flashed TWRP you HAVE to boot directly to TWRP afterwards. otherwise it gets overwritten.
You can also setup SALT and depending on what your current firmware is you can flash TWRP with SALT too.
For that IRC is much better though http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=carbonfusion-user

Hi,
A belated little update. My phone has found its way back to me and is working perfectly again. The main board had some dysfunction, it was exchanged.
LG didn't charge me a dime, so I can't complain. Flashed LOS 14.1 just now and everything is running smoothly. Hope you had some luck with your phone as well?
Cheers
Ok I tried everything with salt, with the motherboard ! Last thing I can do is to contact the support ... Waiting their answer and i'll tell you the feedback
Hello everyone, This post is about how to unbrick your Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Sorry for my bad English
A couple of months ago, at the start of sales, I bought myself a Redmi Note 8 Pro, deciding to flash it on a global version, I bricked it, at that time no one knew how to fix it, I decided that it couldn’t be fixed anymore, I bought another phone and left Redmi Note 8 Pro on the shelf, and now a couple of weeks ago I decided to turn it on and see if I could fix it and it turned on! first the vibration starts and then highlighted a white Redmi logo, after that the phone showed that it is charging and I decided to go into a fastboot mode and he booted up! I flashed a boot.img and recovery from my Miui version that i was using before bricking phone (in my case it was from miui 10.4.5)and the phone turned on! none of my data was deleted.
So what you need to do:
1. After bricking your phone, do not try to charge it!
Leave somewhere for a 3-5 days to discharge your phone
2. Put your phone in charge after leaving your phone for a 3-5 days, if your phone boot up as usually (No logo and no image, only black screen) then leave it for a couple more days and put it on charge after couple days
3. If your phone discharged to 0% (battery is fully discharged), then redmi logo comes and then phone shows that it is charging like usually.
4. Do not waste your time, after battery icon shows up *photo* Press Volume Down and Power OFF together, then phone will be booted in fastboot mode.
5. Then you need to flash boot.img and recovery, I was using from version Miui 10.4.5, i will put everything below so you can download it
6. After Flashing boot and recovery, your phone will boot up and that's it!
Download links:boot.img V10.4.5
boot.img V11.0.1.0
recovery V10.4.5
Following this guide might help you to unbrick your phone, no need to use any programs like Miflash or SP FlashTool!
I hope my guide will help you, have a good day
It only works if boot image is not damaged. You can try eg: fastboot flash boot twrp.img and reboot to see.
This will replace your boot image with recovery image, it will completely brick the phone because boot image is no longer working, then prepare to go back to Mi store or $29 for authorised service account.

Dude, how could you suggest to try something which will hard brick your device? That's careless and reckless! So guys, don't do that!
That's just example, not suggest someone to do it. Trying to use this example to support my point.

Exactly. If you had flashed custom recovery.img and boot.img and after booting in TWRP the phone became hard brick (only led light works) then the stock boot.img is lost. The method proposed (drain the battery) could be done by opening the phone and disconnecting - connecting the battery.
There is only one solution if boot.img and recovery.img are flashed and afterwards the phone became brick. Either buy an authorized account to use it while in 'sp flash tool' or wait and see if developers create a 'MTK__DA.bin' file or an 'auth_sv.file' in order to use it in 'sp flash tool' and flash the phone. The 'mi flash' program can't work if the pc can't recognize the device. The bricked phone is visible in devices only if you hold vol button.

https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-23776.html is collecting those above mentioned files. As of now, there's nothing available for the RN8Pro, however, it has already been requested. So there's at least the chance to fetch it from there in the future. I don't know whether the available generic Xiaomi files will work.

A couple of months ago, at the start of sales, I bought myself a Redmi Note 8 Pro, deciding to flash it on a global version, I bricked it, at that time no one knew how to fix it, I decided that it couldn’t be fixed anymore, I bought another phone and left Redmi Note 8 Pro on the shelf, and now a couple of weeks ago I decided to turn it on and see if I could fix it and it turned on! first the vibration starts and then highlighted a white Redmi logo, after that the phone showed that it is charging and I decided to go into a fastboot mode and he booted up! I flashed a boot.img and recovery from my Miui version that i was using before bricking phone (in my case it was from miui 10.4.5)and the phone turned on! none of my data was deleted.
So what you need to do:
1. After bricking your phone, do not try to charge it!
Leave somewhere for a 3-5 days to discharge your phone
2. Put your phone in charge after leaving your phone for a 3-5 days, if your phone boot up as usually (No logo and no image, only black screen) then leave it for a couple more days and put it on charge after couple days
3. If your phone discharged to 0% (battery is fully discharged), then redmi logo comes and then phone shows that it is charging like usually.
4. Do not waste your time, after battery icon shows up *photo* Press Volume Down and Power OFF together, then phone will be booted in fastboot mode.
5. Then you need to flash boot.img and recovery, I was using from version Miui 10.4.5, i will put everything below so you can download it
6. After Flashing boot and recovery, your phone will boot up and that's it!
Download links:boot.img V10.4.5
boot.img V11.0.1.0
recovery V10.4.5
Following this guide might help you to unbrick your phone, no need to use any programs like Miflash or SP FlashTool!
I hope my guide will help you, have a good day

bonjour,
je debute et je cherche une doc systeme android. Peux tu m'aider?
hi,
i'm looking for a system's documentation for Android. Can you help me please?
regards
I only flashed the recovery.img, not the boot. img. Should I try to drain the battery? Also, would disconnecting/reconnecting the battery work instead of waiting for the battery to drain?

you must to let the battery drained to 0% or disconecte the battery after this connecte the charger and the phone boot again
How long to wait battery drain? 1 week? 2 week?
So here's the story, TL;DR at bottom.
So I have been checking out gaming phones for a little bit and saw the RedMagic 6 Pro and was captivated by its glowing RGB, 16GB of RAM, high refresh screen, a delicate and strange but mighty internal fan and A BATTERY THAT WOULD LAST ME ALL DAY.
So naturally I ordered the phone as soon as it launched in NA and waited about a week and before I got it. Once I did, it was like Willy Wonka and I was Charlie with a golden ticket.
At first I didn't notice anything wrong, maybe these glitches were there all along and I just never noticed it. After some steady usage, I started noticing little things here and there that were annoying, like the app switcher not opening sometimes, not closing apps, notifications not showing, misspelled words in the Settings app. You know, annoying stuff like that.
Obviously I tried to do factory resets a couple times to see if it would help but nothing fixed it so my conclusion was that something was wrong with the software itself.
My next idea was to download and try to I guess manually update the phone in hopes that that would also reload part of the system...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Went to the global rom page on redmagic.gg>downloaded the rom to my computer that matched my phone model>factory reset the phone>copied update over>manual install through settings>phone says installing... whatever>then reboots to the RedMagic boot logo and never goes from there.
So now I'm sitting here, clearly devastated by the loss of my little pocket heater, my side table light show, my phone I use to cheat on Apple and iPhone with (shh don't tell Siri).
Things I've already tried>
1) More factory resets through the recovery
2) Letting the battery die and then charging it.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3) extracting .img from payload update file and flashing through fastboot (always fails due to locked bootloader)
4) Reaching out to Nubia support, I don't think they like me because they haven't answered back yet.
TL;DR -- Is there a way to unbrick/reflash the 6 or 6 Pro with a locked bootloader yet?
waiting for same thing.... quite sad that i can't use my phone just from an update
Yeah, there is a number of us in the same position. We could start a club. The really expensive paperweight club or something. I've also reached out to support. They asked a couple of questions, I promptly answered, and thin it's been crickets since.
Are you unable to unlock the bootloader?

Where is everybody getting TWRP? I don't think there is one yet for the 6 yet. Not till there is kernel source available.
I have the rom extracted here for both the EU and NA/Asia releases. In each is an output folder. You need to flash the boot.img.
in Treble based roms the boot and recovery are in the boot.img. So you flashed over the whole boot image with TWRP that isn't working for the 6 yet, so it defaults to fastboot.

restart your phone and you have stock recovery,,wipe data and you have unbricked device
i download latest twrp but not working and after install twrp i was stucked in fast boot like you
I pulled apart the RM5 unbrick tool to see if I can learn anything that might help us that are stuck at the logo screen. So obviously this contains the RM5 rom right now.
It contains all the firehose files and script and such and obviously the image to the RM5. I was looking into if it could be used to recover the RM6. I've been slammed at work and not been able to dig into it as I'd like, but i have it located here if anybody wants to dig into it too.

That's what I was hoping for but worried it's going to take more than just that, like the GPT layout and some other things.
For sure you will need the partition table, rawprogram, & a firehose for the SD888; I'd be surprised if the one for the RM5 would work on the RM6.
I flash different roms from time to time and on this occasion during a flash of Xiaomi eu rom my wire accidentally became disconnected from my PC and the phone just went black. no response to power button or volume buttons. I then did some research concerning EDL mode, got in touch with an authorized Xiaomi account user to do the flashing, opened up my phone, shorted the two pins and connected as Qualcomm 9008 Device driver. The Xiaomi account person then used team viewer to flash the rom. the whole process was a success software wise and i was really excited to use my phone again. the moment of truth came and i pressed the power button but still dead, no response. sadly just got a little over a year out of it. It was 8 gig ram version. Over $300 bucks. Do you guys think it could be possible that it's hardware failure instead of software? Like perhaps the phone was going to die anyway but just coincidentally died during a flashing process with the wire becoming disconnected. IDK seems too crazy for a situation like that.
Try it again. If you can connect with it, it's not bricked. Possible hardware failure but it might have been the flash got corrupted for other reasons during the process... assuming the right firmware was flashed. So repeat and see what you got.
Personally I avoid flashing and OTA updates/upgrades whenever possible. I will only use them when neccessary which is very rare.

Thanks for your response man. This phone originally came with a global firmware installed on it however I would flash china official firmware from time to time with no issues as well. the Xiaomi person flashed a china firmware. you think I should try again and flash global instead?

You're welcome.
Use what worked. Then if that works proceed at your own peril if you want to flash other firmware...
Be patient as you may get replies from others here that are more relevant to this specific device and issue.
Hi,if u say the flashing was done successfully there should not be a problem anymore.Just try to charge ur phone some time,maybe this can help...Is your phone still in EDL mode if u connect this to pc?
