Mi Max 3/32 hardbricked after installing MIUI 7.5.11 from xiaomi.eu

I have flashed the newest MIUI developer from here from TWRP 3.1 and after I selected reboot -> system
After that my phone turned off and now I can't turn it on. My Mi Max can't go neither recovery mode nor fastboot nor EDL. It became hardbrick. No reaction after connecting to PC with any possible combination of pressed keys.
What's wrong with my Max? Can I bring my phone to life?

I hade something similar with my redmi note 3. (IF I remember correctly, only hade a blinkning red light). Check Guides for redmi note 3, its a more popular device. maybe some of this will help you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/help/hard-bricked-redmi-note-3-sd-t3360457
or google, might be info on another site, like miui.com

Probably you need to remove the remains from the old Recovery (Stock).

You are going to have to open your phone up.
First download and install the Mi Flash Tool. Install it.
Second download the latest STABLE Miui fastboot rom.
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Untar the tarball somewhere.
Start the MiFlash tool and select the folder you untared
http://i.imgur.com/SUZWJMM.png
Open your Mi Max
http://www.ihowfix.com/xiaomi-mi-max-teardown/
Plug a good usb cable into your PC, then the other end part way but not fully into your Mi Max.
Find the two test points I circled in red in the picture, use a wire to short them. While you are doing that, have your computer ready.
Now, plug the usb cord all the way in and start clicking refresh in MiFlash
Your Mi Max should show up as id 2 device 09234f or whatever.
http://i.imgur.com/aC5S7Pt.png
Flash, and wait for the process to finish.
If your Mi Max doesn't show up, just unplug the usb cord, make sure you have those two points connected well, and replug. It's the hardest part and it can be difficult to do right.

@chriscarver
You are not allowed to unlock it officially ?
On the official forum is a form of treatment to the manufacturer to unlock the bootloader.
And what is the point in the wire, which until which the end not is inserted into, in the charging connector ?
The wire must be inserted with great speed or you'll perform the function of phase (+) current ?

It is so chaotic as the success of his operation.

No.
He hard bricked his phone during a flash.
He already has an unlocked bootloader. He is unable to get to recovery or fastboot.
In order to fix it he will have to follow the procedure I gave.

Not the fact that its bootloader is unlocked.
Recovery can be installed with locked bootloader.
The remains of the old recovery to do errors .
You must delete them manually.

You're tired... I see it... just the first time I hear about hardbricked mi max.
Maybe this moment was worded differently and I'm trying to understand.
For example, it may be the need in "Hard Reset" the device.
You don't have to repeat, it is your personal right.

Device need not be having unlocked bootloader to have custom recovery and rom.

Just a little help please unlocking bootloader/Root TMOBILE Oneplus7T(Sim unlocked) without Oneplus code

Does anyone know a way to unlock the bootloader of Oneplus 7t without asking for an unlock code from T-mobile? I was able to get it network unlocked however never rooted it. Even on my oneplus 5t which I'm trying to root(got bootloader unlocked) I can't root because it says "waiting for device" when trying to flash the twrp.img file and that phone is a global variant. It seems like I'm having issues with both for "waiting for any device" through adb.

I bricked my 7t. It only loads into fastboot mode and MSM downloads are giving me error"disk file missing" or something...each version/site that I try on google. So now I'm using 5t(has root...not caring about updating it...backup phone anyway) while trying to get 7t working again....I would like it to flash to global latest oxygen...but now I have to unbrick somehow. I know for sure the phone isn't booting into an operating system.

Was msm working before? If never worked prior then you need Qualcomm 9008 drivers

Your phone must be completely off to enter msm or edl mode: holding vol+ and vol- together while plugging in usbC--msm program must be running with admin privileges before plugging in your usbC. Once sound is made in win10, then click start

OnePlus 7T Bricked

Hi, I have a oneplus 7T that belongs to T-MOBILE, I decided to make it global, after doing the process I made the mistake of blocking the bootloader after that the terminal does not pass the error "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot ", I can only enter the fastboot mode, I have tried to enter the EDL mode to do the process again through the MSM through the adb commands and through a deep flash cable and np I have been lucky.
I have also tried to unlock the bootloader but it does not allow me, because it gives me an error related to that I have to enable unlocking through the android developer.
The pc only recognizes the terminal as "Android Bootloader Interface".

So if you can acces the fastboot mode have you tried flashing a oos10/11 fastboot rom ?

Never relock bootloader as easy to hard brick. Try to set up msmtool on another pc and good usb-C cable. Also u should move this post to Q-A

Hi
I had is same problem, and is very easy to solve.
You only have use the method for which to use for covert the device in global versión, but only
you must do the steps until the equipment is unlocked, and then instead of continuing with the procedure, what you must do is flash a stock firmware that corresponds to the region of your mobile.
It's all a matter of taking the procedure to the point where it allows it to be flashed through fastboot

It is not necessary to use the TMobile rom, you just have to get to the point where the phone is unlocked with the command "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" and then jump to steps 7 and 8 of the guide referenced in the link I shared.

Question Trouble connecting to a G20 via MTKClient

I'm attempting to unlock the bootloader on a G20 (TA-1343 -- Android 11 RP1A.200720.011, kernel 4.19.127-ga29357d-dirty, build 00WW_1_180_SP03) using the Re Live DVD V3 that contains MTKClient, but no combination of button pressing and cable inserting is getting it to connect. Holding volume down and nothing else while inserting the USB boots into fastboot, as does pressing volume down+power, and any other combination of presses while inserting the cable boots the phone normally. No combination seems to get it into the mode that MTKClient is looking for.
OEM unlocking is toggled on.
What are my next steps for troubleshooting the connection? Is MTKClient still the state-of-the-art for unlocking the bootloader on a G20 (TA-1343), or should I pursue another method?

i had to dismantle and short the test point. now i cant get it to turn on and it only boots into DA mode no display

Don't try to unlock bootloader if it fails you will need to flash the device. It failed on my Nokia G20 Android 12 and I had to take it to Nokia Care.

I was able to unlock the bootloader Nokia G20 ta1343. With mtk client simply by connecting it to mtk client and clicking the unlock on the GUI.
I failed The magisk flash after I unlock the bootloader I updated from security patch August 22 to October 2022.
I don't know if that had anything to do with it but after the security update and I tried to root and I believe I used the wrong boot image.
I've got bootloader unlock though. you have to unlock it from the boot ROM mode and you may have to have a older security update.

Now I'm looking for a stock ROM so I can flash the whole thing because I think I corrupted the preloader because I can only get it to go into boot ROM mode and I can't get the device to power on or charge.
But if I connect it to a PC, I can connect it to mtk client and everything seems intact: the GPT and all partitions are there and I have full backup but I don't know about the preloader I'm a little lost there and I think that's where I messed up.

Most probably you have downgraded the device. Please take it to Nokia Care. They can fix it using HMD Device Kit Software.
They flash the phone in fastboot mode but if the phone is bricked they have specialised tools to fix the phone. They short test points or may have some hidden mode to flash the device but they can probably fix it.

Question OnePlus 11 Unlock bootloader/msm tool/custom rom

Hello brothers!
I'd like to know more about unlock bootloader, msm tool and about custom rom.
Does oneplus give us the ability to unlock the bootloader?
Is it possible to create a msm tool for it? I know that oneplus 10 pro had a problem with it...
As a oneplus 8/8 pro, 6T, op5, op3 and op1 user I always liked the fact that these were perfect phones for development. oneplus gives us such an opportunity at all now? My question is because I haven't seen it on op10pro...
I hope someone can answer these questions and we can talk about it together.
Best regards zelos156 aka zeusgod

There is fastboot enhanced which doesn't save you if you hard brick and can't get into fastboot flashing mode(not stock bootloader). Chinese users say there is a flash tool but nothing has surfaced yet. A dev who was trying to make it work for a cease and desist message from oppo

Thanks for sharing, I definitely need to try that! Did you press all keys and hold, or just press randomly?

So I can't get the drivers to recognize the device. OP does not have the 11 listed in the drivers download page. Are there other drivers that work?
**UPDATE** Disregard. Figured it out.

if you can access 9008 mode then you can recover It
