"This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Bricked with a locked bootloader - "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
I can get to "adb sideload" and fastboot, but the bootloader is locked
Can I unlock the bootloader with EDL? Can I access EDL with an EDL-cable? Or do I need to open the phone and short the EDL pins?
Can I recover the phone from a Linux computer? Or do I need Windoze?
Is it even possible to un-screw this phone?
Any help appreciated.

1- Checking if this problem is still a problem with custom ROMs; it is, and thus I believe it to be a hardware fault.
2- Done testing, re-install stock stock ROM, lock bootloader via adb; bricked phone.

ok, you can run edl mode but its no good for you, its already locked by xiaomi, ( go ing to fastboot mode and give commands something like this " fastboot boot edl")
* do you see padlock lock sign when you go to fastboot mode
* try to flash vbmeta in fastboot mode
* try again to flash correct version miui fastboot rom with mi flashing tool with out selecting lock bootloader

I can get to fastboot by holding power+vol-down. There's no lock icon.
On Ubuntu, I don't think fastboot is compiled to support rebooting into edl. I tried editing the source, and I'm not sure if I did it right, but the binary I built did not boot the phone into edl.
Using these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta /tmp/platform-tools/vbmeta.img
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta /tmp/platform-tools/vbmeta.img
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta /tmp/platform-tools/vbmeta.img
They all give the same result:
Code:
target reported max download size of 804274176 bytes
sending 'vbmeta' (4 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.006s]
writing 'vbmeta'...
FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State)
finished. total time: 0.007s

There are 2 ways to unlock bootloader
1. Official way using Mi flash tool
2. Unofficial way using cmd
There are lots of videos on how to unlock bootloader using cmd go and try them
Most important is to keep your phone charged

1- That requires access to a working phone.
2- All I'm finding is instructions for how to type "fastboot oem unlock" on a Windoze computer.

Did you found a way to fix the phone or unlock bootloader?

You have 2 ways to get out of this situation.
1. Try to unlock the bootloader with the Mi account you used last time.
2. If couldn't unlock, then switch to EDL mode. Use a no auth programmer to flash the correct variant fastboot ROM and the device should boots up. Then add account again and wait for 168 hours for unlocking.
Since we've got no auth programmer for Sm6125 we could use EDL mode freely.

Hi there @go vegan , have you already fix your phone again? because i also got the same situation on my redmi 6. or is there anybody who can help? thanks

Hi all add me to the list with a k20pro.
The device was unlocked at the start, i got MIUI 12.5 global and flashed with miflashtool.
but wipe and lock was active.
now the phone comes up to the recovery menu and says the miui version is not for this device.
When I try to flash to another version, miflashtool says the device is locked,
when I try to unlock while using the account the device is registered in, miunlock says go to settings >developer options> mi unlock status.
Gave it to a repair shop for 1.5 months and nothing. I live in Iran so no authorized service centers here.
I have access to fast boot mode and recovery.
I tried xiaomitoll V2 which had a specific question asking if my device would show This MIUI version can't be installed on this device in phone is bricked option. It goes to get china official Rom but then errors.
I'm a noob here so any help would be great, tnx.

I have encountered the same problem a few hours ago with my beloved Redmi K20 Pro. My heart became gloomy thinking that I have no way left other than having to take to an authorized service centre where they will rip off the back cover. But then I stumbled upon this simple solution that took me a minute or two. This is how I solved it:
Entered the fastboot mode
Connected the phone to my laptop using the USB cable
Opened the official Mi Unlock Tool and logged in with my Mi account, and
Clicked on the beautiful UNLOCK button!
Boom! The phone is back to its vibrant life! I'm just happy again!

when I try to unlock while using the account the device is registered in, miunlock says go to settings >developer options> mi unlock status.

Apply for permissions to unlock Mi devices

The solution to the problem is simple.
into fast boot mode,
Run unlock again!! Obviously it's locked. When unlocking is executed,
the same screen may appear again. Please do a reboot. You will definitely see the MIUI installation screen.

Device: Redmi note 7S
I found a solution and it worked for me:
1.Download the bat file and execute in your windows pc : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NqPotx06yRuhPsOdEAdS4JNsk7qWWchF/view
2. After that use the MI unlocker tool to unlock the device.
3, Use mi flasher to flash the Rom.
After the hours of research in the internet i found the solution.
Thanks

Oneplus 3 Boot Loop

So I tried to flash another rom by flashing TWRP and unlocking the bootloader, which worked and I then had installed Freedom Os. Then I locked the Bootloader to get the Message away, but know when you charge it or turn it on it is in an boot loop which repeats the Oneplus Logo what you normally see, but very short and after that it bobrates turns the screen off and it atart again. Or I can go into fastboot mode, but when I try to go into the recovery, it goes into the Boot Loop again. Is there a way to get the Original OS back? Ive already dopwnloaded it but I cant get in on there. Can you tell me how to fix it on my own?
[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus 3 > METHOD 1
If you can access fastboot mode, connect the phone to a PC, then go to ADB and erase recovery using the command " fastboot erase recovery" and install TWRP 3.0.4-1 using the command " <fastboot flash recovery <recovery.zip/img> again.
Once you do that, boot into TWRP, go to wipe and wipe everything. Once you do that, transfer the stock OOS into the internal memory using copy-paste , then go to install , select the transferred file to install the OS or else go to advance setting in TWRP and select adb sideload and use the command "adb sideload <filename.zip>".
This should install the OS on the phone.
If you want to go complete stock, then you also need to install the stock recovery. Search the forum to get the relevent files or else you can download it from the OnePlus website and later on update to latest OS via OTA.
NEVER EVER LOCK THE BOOTLOADER , IF YOU'RE USING ANY ROM OTHER THAN STOCK OS AND STOCK RECOVERY

So i've downloaded the software, installed the driver and typed in cmd adb devices "adb devices List of devices attached" is returned, so it seems like there is going something wrong. Is it because the Driver is installed wrong or because "target reported max download size of 440401920 bytes
sending 'recovery' (22605 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.528s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.551s"
This is returned when trying to flash. Do I have to be in fastboot mode or something else to be able to follow your instructions? In Fast Boot is written that the Device State is locked and Secure Boot is enabled. I messaged Oneplus and hope they have a solution which can just unlock the Bootloader when being in fastboot mode, so everything is fine again. I hope you can help me, but I still wanna say thank your for now

Thank you, but it dont works because i forgot to re-enable the oem modification and usb debugging in freedom os, maybe there is an option to do this without having this enabled but I didnt found it. So I wait for a helpful answer from somebody here or from Oneplus, I consider sending my smartphone to oneplus to let them repair it if I cant do it. Just saying that modding an S3, Asus transformer pad and nvidia shield is way easier.

Yeah I'm sorry I can't help you in your case. I'm just stating the fact. Sorry if I offended you.
Shouldn't it still be possible to reflash the properly signed official updates? TBH I never had such a problem and thus never had to cope with it. Same with recovery: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img Try flashing this one with fastboot. It's the official one. By flashing this one you might fix your stuff over adb sideloading the official full update zips.
Try the unbrick guide provided in the 2nd post to your query. It should definitely help. Better contact OnePlus tech2 support and they'll flash your phone for you. They're really helpful.

The MSM Software disconnects the smartphone while the process works
U cannot flash in adb while the bootloader is locked, u can not unlock the bootloader unless u can access ur OS, I am not sure y people was trying to get u to flash via fastboot the answer was provided to u in the 2nd post
^^^ This!
It's pretty much obvious fastboot flash will not work with a locked bootloader.
It's pretty obvious unlocking the bootloader will not work, while one can not access the OS.
Unbrick tool is the only option to bring it back to life, or sending it for RMA. If unbrick tool fails, try using different drivers and make sure it is connected with the stock cable (I've only tried with a Nilkin cable besides the stock one, which always failed at different stages during the process).
Not even sure drivers must be installed manually, I've never done that myself on Windows 10, as they were automatically installed (3 different's PC's, both on x86 and x64).
Which version of stock firmware did you last have? If it was 4.0.1 or earlier, then you can use
Code:
fastboot oem 4F500301
to issue a flash command even without unlocking the bootloader. If you are on that, then use that command and flash stock recovery and then flash stock zip.

[BRICKED] Stuck in android 8.1 bootloop

I just bricked my phone :crying: :crying:
I wanna get back to the official rom, after trying android P (without make it work).
(the rom is from http://en.miui.com/download-354.html)
But I run the wrong script and take the flash_all_lock.img
And my device is stuck on android 8.1 bootloop (It boot, but i get an animated line loop ...)
Any ideas or tricks before i get it back to warranty ?
Thanks
Unlock bootloader and flash again. You can find a guide to unlock bootloader at the beginning of this guide.

Have you tried to switch the active slot?
Try if it boots using
fastboot set_active a
or
fastboot set_active b
If not working, can you enter recovery (power on with Volume up button pressed)?
If you can enter recovery, hold down the power button for 3-5 seconds and then press and release the Volume up button, to make commands appear. Then your only hope is to install the OTA update zip from there (copy the OTA in a microSD card, there is a thread where you can find the link to the OTA zip).
In my opinion, "OEM unlocking" in developer options MUST be always keep active, because incidents like this could happen, and because even without modding, an OTA could go wrong resulting in your same situation.
I was in your same situation (OEM unlocking disabled and then I locked bootloader with a custom ROM installed) with a Nexus 5X.
I don't remember well how I fixed it, but I remember entering in Qualcomm download mode (should be the same EDL mode) and loading a file found after many hours of research in strange forums and sites.

Have you sideloaded the zip? I think it's better to copy the OTA zip to microSD than ADB sideload.

There should be only two methods for entering EDL:
1- request authorization in en.miui.com forum. Sometimes the admins accept requests to give an account one EDL flash permission (but I don't know if it works with AndroidOne devices).
2- finding the test point in the phone's motherboard.

How to unbrick?
Hey guys. I bricked my Mi2 Lite as well. Is there any step by step way to unbrick?
had the same problem, was stuck in the bootloop even after I flashed img with MiFlash! NOTE: MY BOOTLOADER WAS UNLOCKED!!! (LUCKLY I DID NOT TRIED FLASH ALL AND UNLOCK!)
headed to this thread
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
did not work, I get error saying FAILED
but after i used
Code:
fastboot oem edl
I went to MiFlash and used "Clean all" option (again note DON'T use "Clean all and lock"!!!). It took around 5 minutes to flash and my notif. light blinked whole the time. After it say "Success" I was able to normaly boot the phone again
Find "Mi A2 Lite toolkit V 1.0.4.2" and use it to flash stock 8.1, it will do all the magic with a few clicks, just don't interrupt it until your phone restarts and you get the "Welcome" screen. After you can do the upgrade to Pie via OTA.
Hi, where i can find MI A2 Lite Tool Kit? i open my device and i can put in EDL mode., my computer detect my pone in EDL mode, but i can not know do.

Hi all,
I also had same problem and I just resolve it.
My phone was in bootloop mode after stock rom flashing...
You don't need apply "fastboot oem edl" !
Just be sure your device is unlocked.
Download first stock rom (V9.6.4.0.ODLMIFF Firmware for Mi A2 Lite). If you flash last ROM, it don't work.
Flash it with XiaoMiFlash tool (don't forget to enable "Clean All") in bottom of the tool.
After reboot, you can apply OTA updates.
Enjoy !

I had the same problem when I used my second phone as usb tethering network connection, but I fixed by using it as wifi hotspot. The adb thingie was not "locked" or if you have other devices connected via usb, it get the error, I believe.
Try downgrading mitools and miui
Today I could unlock the device by the first try, with my brothers pc (old amd apu/win7).
Thanks and have a Happy New Year!

What you are trying to do? Just switch from Chinese to Global? or your device is bricked now?
What did happen after that you flashed the Chinese recovery ROM?
What modes do you have available?
Did you unlock bootloader previously?

Fastboot flashing commands won't work if you have bootloader locked.
Did you unlock bootloader previously and probably get locked again?
Did you enable all the proper options on Developer section, i.e. USB debugging and check if device is recogniced on adb commands?
What do you get with "fastboot getvar all"?

thanks a lot dude i m on unlock boot loader .
But bootloader some time works means sometimes it shows my device name after available device command it shows only ???????? Fastboot devices
i tried all way possible but none of them worked.
And i m unable to switch from china to global.
Only i can do is switch between china stable to developer.
i tried getvar command but it gave me this
PS C:\adb> adb reboot bootloader
error: device '(null)' not found
PS C:\adb> fastboot getvar all
getvar:all FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.007s
PS C:\adb>

And you said you enabled USB debuging?!? you didn't. First enable it under development tools.
MAKE SURE YOUR USING RIGHT ADB/FASTBOOT TOOLS AND DRIVERS.
After 'adb reboot bootloader' use 'fastboot devices'. You can change usb cable and if you still get errors try using usb hub.
If all above fails than try it on WIN7 PC.

I think you are not properly booted to the proper state while you're trying certain commands. Just to be clear; adb works while your device is power on and fastboot commands will work only while your device is in fastboot mode not while on adb mode. A way to be sure that you are doing properly is enabling USB debugging first but while connected device with PC, a prompt will appear from device screen and then tap on "always allow", then you have to type "adb devices" and follow step by step, if device is recognized you can go to the next step with "adb reboot bootloader" then in fastboot you have to see the bunny otherwise is not properly in fastboot mode, then you can follow with "fastboot devices" and so on, keep in mind that any command will work until device is properly recognized.

Just trying to determine what your words exactly mean when you say "after in fastboot mode it doesn't boot in adb mode." ... without entering in more technical insights adb works when device is on, no sense to boot to fastboot to try to boot to adb after that (?)
If you can boot to fastboot what you have to try firstly is unlock bootloader or be sure that is already unlocked using
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
if your device is or get unlocked then you can try to flash or just boot to a custom recovery but if you can't determine until now if your device is really unlocked then you couldn't go further.
The hardware method to enter to fastboot is from a device off; pressing both pwr and vol down buttons but if the bunny is not displayed probably you didn't really get fastboot mode.

Do yo use WIN10? Find PC with Win7... and install adb/fastboot app and drivers. Than try..
Is your system working now?
Just unlock your bootloader and install OrangeFox recovery than you can flash whatever you need.
Problem solved.

TWRP can't bypass encryption, when you have no access to read data (0mb) then you have to format it, to avoid that is always recommended use OrangeFox, just for future reference, if you understand that you can flash OrangeFox through TWRP for better experience.
Also you can use this tool to help you to automate some stuff https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools

Question fastboot flashing unlock fails: unknown command

I am trying to unlock the bootloader of the Poco F3 in order to root it.
I installed the platform tools present in the apt repositories (OS: Pop!_OS 20.10), this is the version I installed:
Bash:
$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 1:8.1.0+r23-8
Installed as /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot
Then I did this:
enabled developer options, USB debugging and OEM unlock in the device's settings
turned it off and then on again in fastboot mode (holding power and volume down buttons)
connected it to my PC through USB and then ran the following commands but when I run fastboot flashing unlock I get an unknown command error
Bash:
$ fastboot devices
████████ fastboot
$ fastboot flashing unlock
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.000s
Am I missing something here?
I read somewhere that I should install device specific drivers but I couldn't find any for Linux, what do I have to do?
You need to use mitools to unlock the bootloader. Search some videos of how to do it. You will need to wait 168 hours after finish the steps.
Is that actually the only way? According to this guide mi tools isn't required. I read that it only acts as a wrapper of fastboot so if I can I'd rather use fastboot directly and avoid setting up an account just for that.

One Way : Mi Unlock Tool
No other way than Mi unlock tool......yet
Oh alright, Mi unlock tool it is then, thanks for the quick help!
It's purely so Xiaomi can limit people to unlock bootloader so that you don't get companies bulk buying devices falshing custom firmware and selling them as other phones for more

that guide is wrong flashing unlock would work if the bootloader didnt need a special img file as part of the unlocking process.
the miunlock tool simply does the downloading of the img file in the background once you have waited the mandatory 168 hour wait period.
