I've used MiFlash Tool, and the problem was fixed. Sahara Error occurs when you take to much time to flash after booting to EDL, you only have few seconds to flash util the port is closed for writing. QFIL takes around 20 to 25 seconds in caching the files so use MiFlash and It'll flash. Best way to do it is:
1. Install and setup MiFlash for flashing.
2. Open MiFlash and select your Firmware's folder.
3. As soon as you connect the phone refresh miflash and hit flash.
If everything goes well you'll flash will be successful else try again.

I tried doing as fast as a could too on mi flash and it would come up as trying to connect to com4 port something in the status and would eventually come back to same error in the picture.

I face this problem in windows 10.
first uninstall zuk drivers and qfill and disable driver signature enforcement (Google it how to do it) then install zuk drivers and qfill use original cable and your phone will get flashed

Follow the instruction from this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/zuk-z2-baseband-flashing-guide-t3715121

Do not listen to anyone telling you to use miflash, only use qfil otherwise you WILL encounter other issues because qfil is the only way to reach the deeper partitions that mi is unable to... Other issues may range from no volte, calling or signal problems etc its just easier to do it right the first time.

Need Help, my mi6 hard brick, no fastboot mode.. set boot partition failed

please help anyone have same problem with me? or any xiaomi engineer here? i just need how to solve flashing in mi flash with error set boot partition failed.
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.

Mi A2 Lite doesn´t have activated ARB, the brick is cause you flashed a wrong firmware.
If you´re sure that your model is Mi A2 Lite then flash the firmware for it.

Use test point, if you can't with test point the rice is the second option.

If you can enter EDL mode ,download the latest stock firmware (it has to be in .kdz format) , use MiFlash ,check the option Clear All (without locking the bootloader) ,then navigate to your extracted folder ,hit refresh ,see if your device is showing in MiFlash ,and vlick the Flash Button. If your phone doesn't appear in Mi Flash - it might be a drivers issue ,or your phone is not in EDL mode.If you need help ,PM me

Your case is different than the other, you should need a box like Octoplus, Miracle or take out to a technician that already have it to repair it.

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....)

Same thing happened to me in the last week of may, I even posted a thread here for help and my phone is even stuck on fastboot logo, sadly i couldn't find any solutions. If you find any solutions please reply to this post and help a brother.

Question Poco f3/mi 11x bricked, did I damaged ufs or ram

Hi I'm new to XDA
Last Saturday I think I bricked my mi 11x
I just flashed miui elite rom it was installed suspiciously on orange fox, instead of installing as 2 files (ticked flash recovery after installing rom) it installed as on file like a firmware zip took only 20 seconds to flash after that I rebooted to recovery and it never booted just black screen tried to boot into fastboot screen is still off but fastboot is detecting same for recovery screen is still black but recovery is working I'm noob to this and don't know what to do so went to mi service center they tried to flash rom through edl mode device is detecting on edl mode but they can't complete the flashing process some kind of error is popping while its about to complete flash. even authorised service centre can't unbrick Device through edl is it hardware defect? Did I fckd up ufs or ram?
Bootloader unlocked
Device is recognised in fastboot but screen is black
Device is recognised In recovery still screen is black
Edl mode working but service center is unable to complete flashing some kind of error is preventing from completing flashing process.
technicians in Service centre said it must be the file that I flashed previously is preventing edl flash process

Did you try "fastboot flash boot boot.img" while in fastboot mode? Note the "boot.img" must be the one compatible with the OS installed on the phone.
Did you try flashing official ROM through miflash?

I just straight went to mi service center they tried edl flashing but ended up unsuccessful. Will miflash do any better because edl was failed for some reason note that they used authorised account for edl
