Hello there,
I'm having a complicated issue and i wish someone really could help me.
My A2 lite is totally brick and stuck on bootloop .. i tried the below with no luck
1- EDL Mode using test points then flashing using MiFlash .. still being in bootloop
2- Fastboot commands can't be used as bootloader is locked
3- Fastboot unlock (OEM unlock is not allowed)
4- Can't boot to TWRP
5- Tried to apply update from SD Card .. update applied with still the same issue
I appreciate if you could assist me with this issue
Any update on your problem?
ıt seems your phone is in a better shape than mine; I have a Mi A1, and it doesn't flash at all, because of the EDL auth requirement. Only MiFlashBeta "appears" to flash it, but I highly doubt if it actually writes anything to phone.

My device is Redmi note 5 pro
I was on China miui10 with redwolf and want to flash fastboot rom via miflash but it was done in 1 sec and all gone to vain
So I took my phone to service centre and they said warrenty voids as u unlocked bootloader
So I thought to lock bootloader via commands as miflash didn't work
So I flashed mi recovery.....:crying:
It gone to bootloop:crying:
Even thought to flash a recovery but bootloader is not recognised by the pc
Flashed ADB drivers...
Please help me
It's just 10 days old
First I think you should flash TWRP of some sort and flash AOSP based custom ROM to at least be able to boot your phone. If that's done then you can lock your bootloader (if you still want to).

post this in redmi note 5 pro forum
did you lock it or not ?
can you vol - and power to enter bunny screen fastboot ?
did you allowed usb debugging on device before bootloop ?
if still unlock with fastboot, try miflash tool with another version, seems that 1 second result is when tool do not know the phone model.
I used miflashsetupbeta
if relock than i guess it becomes very tricky if am not wrong (edl, testpin,...)here link

Hey you can still fix it if it's relocked. Just flash the proper recovery rom for your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/tut-flashing-official-recovery-rom-t3798165
Or you can try to unlock the bootloader again with Miflash Unlock Tool.
Hi all,
I am new to this forum, but have some experience with rooting and custom roms(oneplus one and samsung)
Now with the Mi Max 3, which was unlocked, i have flashed the recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-nitrogen.img, but I did not realize that
i had to reboot into this recovery from the fastboot mode.
so I endet up with a locked bootloader and bottloop and am not able to unlock the bootloader again.
I think my only solution is the test-point method and a EDL authorized account.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Henry
You don't have to boot into the bootloader from fastboot mode, you can press the power button and volume up button like on almost all other Android phones to boot into TWRP recovery. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get right, but you should learn how to do it eventually.
Unfortunately it sounds like you had one of the dodgy re-sold Chinese models that had been re-flashed with Global firmware and it's locked your bootloader again on reboot.
Your only option is to use the official Miui Flash tool to boot into fastboot mode, flash the latest Global Developer ROM, and then sign in with your account and apply to unlock the bootloader again using the Miui unlock program. It may be instant but, they'll probably make you wait 720 hours, as the entire point of the program was to stop phones like yours being re-sold outside China.
At least you'll have a usable, non-bricked device though.
Thanks for your answer.
now I have opened the backcover (yes was much work ( I succeded without destroying something) and could apply the test point method to get into the lde mode.
Win10 shows it as qualcomxx at com 3
what is the best way now to awake it to life again? even without unlocking.
hi,
with the test point method I could flash the chinese rom, and the mi max 3 is awaken to life again!
The bootloader is still locked.
I have applied for unlocking, but have to wait some 15 days.
One tip: if the case is open, one can apply a little bit of silicon grease to the small pins on the side of the plastic frame
before closing it. Opening it again is much easier then.
One question: if I replace the recovery.img of the chinese rom with a TWRP image (renamed to recovery.img)
and flash that modified rom with the test point method, could this probaly work?
With a working TWRP one could install other roms without unlocking bootloader.
If yes, which TWRP would you apply?
Thanks

Flashing a recovery should not lock your bootloader, so I don't know how you did it. Note, that if you are using Xiaomi's firmware tool, you should not forget about unticking the box to lock the bootloader. But I would suggest to stay away from that tool and go command line instead with fastboot.
If you can access fastboot, I'd recommend to flash an official fastboot tgz ROM of your choice. Official ROM should boot even with an unlocked bootloader and you may start all over again more carefully.
So I think you might be able to avoid using EDL mode at this stage.
probally I forgot to untick that box. The bootloader is locked and I have to wait 319 hours.
I have got to love the test point EDL method which is simple and effective, and gave me control over the device again.
If I flash again the chinese fastboot rom (in which I have changed the original recovery.img into TWRP.img, named recovery.img) via the EDL
will that give me an installt TWRP (still with locked bootloader, but possible to install custom roms) or will i have a brick again?
thanks

Only you can answer that question by trying it out. Are you sure you have to wait for the unlocking again? Double check that! As I know you also need a priviliged xiaomi account to be able to resurrect a device in EDL mode.
Hello, I have this problem, bricked and locked bootloader.
I can't unlock with MiUnlock tool because I can't access to seetings in the device.
The device is ever turning into recovery and they are a message in red that says ¨This MIUI version can't be installed on this device¨
Anybody knows a way to bypass the bootloader or unlock it in this terms?

I have solved it flashing a chinese rom instead global rom.
Good time of day!
I have the same problem… I mistakenly flashed the Mi flash firmware of my Rn8 Pro, with subsequent blocking (I forgot to check), which absolutely could not be done with a ROM phone from China. The phone went to bootlop. The following attempts to flash the phone with Mi flash end with a message that the phone has a blocked bootloader. SP flash flashes successfully, but the bootlop problem remains…Is there any solution to restore the phone..? Sincerely.
same issue.
Hi @ all,
after updating my Mi 10T Pro, it shows „The system has been destroyed“. Recovery doesn´t work, Fastboot does…
I tryed to unbrick the phone via MiFlash but as expected it wasn´t successfull, cause flashing the ROM needs an unlocked bootloader, but unlocking the bootloader requires an unbricked phone.
Flashing via EDL Testpoint wasn´t possible as well, cause I´d need an authorized Xiaomi Account for flashing via EDL…
I had the same problem with a Mi Pad 4 and solved the problem with a patched firehose file, which made the installation via MiFlash possible and unbricked the Pad finally.
Perhaps somebody has an idea how to unbrick the Mi10T Pro -the youtube solutions (Teamviewer with an authorized EDL account) seem to be a bit unsafe to me…

I have the same problem, but Recovery also works. But this doesn't help cuz I cant unlock bootloader anyway... Of you will solve it, tell me pls
Problem is probably not the same, but -if recovery still works, you could try to flash via XiaoMiTool V2...

You can try this tool.
https://xiaomitools.com/sp-flash-tool-en/
There are also other tools, do a search on XDA and Google.
thx. i tried it, but the problem is that i could not get into edl. the com port is showing up for 1 sec and then it reboots and get into fastboot.
sp tool doesnt accept the scatter file from my rom.
is it possible to flash twrp with locked bootloader and restore it?
or is the only way to get a remote support?
thx

It is not obvious for recent devices if the soc is not supported.
EDL mode is only for Qualcomm devices.
A few links that might be helpful:

Sorry but this does not apply to your device.

thx,
so i've tried the tools.
i get into preloader state but wihout serial port so mtk stucks. Maybe its windows 11?
i also tried the xiaomi tool v2 but its horrible, cause our phone is not in recovery list (i wrote the developer to import it)
also in sp flash tool i don't get the button to bypass security
If still under warranty, send it.
