So, somebody please help me. I had the chinese rom. fully updated.
I have no idea wich version it was but i belive most likely it was the last one since i got the telephone last week and updated it.
so, coming from mi max 1 and then mi max 2 i installed TWRP and booted into recovery
and tried to flash eu global rom but it came out as an error and i downloaded a few roms and tried but no sucess in flashing them and then suddenly the screen went black and i can hear it connect and it will show up in miflash but as for now i dont have the recovery files
and am downloading them at the moment.
I remember running into a similar issue on my mimax 2 or 1 and then i needed to flash it using adb and running the flash system commandoes.
But i forgot them and im sure some of you have done this so can anyone help me finding a recovery fastboot files and give me a either miflash supported file to use or adb files and then the commandoes to flash it all back?
it was something like
system flash
recovery flash
boot flash
etc
But i dont have the files for recovery fastboot
and the commandoes are lost for me.
It was like flashing in EDL mode i belive, if i can remember,
I really screwed up and since the telephone is so new its hard to find the files needed.
Thank you and please excuse my bad English.
The one getting me back ill paypal you a beer.

Which other roms did you try to install?
Latest china official roms have Anti-rollback enabled, so you have to be careful about what rom you trying to install otherwise your device will be hard bricked (if not bricked already).
If your device has bricked by anti-rollback, you need to flash in EDL mode, but EDL mode is blocked on Mi Max 3, so you need a Xiaomi EDL authorized account to flash with it.
Anyway, here is the link of the latest fastboot china stable rom http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.12.0....EDCNFD_20180820.0000.00_8.1_cn_5e8d0ddf88.tgz
You can give it a try with MiFlash Tool.
My max 3 was bricked as well on Sat, no boot, no recovery, no fastboot.
You just need to download the fastboot of 8.9.20 china dev, install Qualcomm driver, then use Miflash to flash ur phone again in EDL mode. That's all.

Can you help me findig the link to dev rom?
I am really really lost..
Been at this things for 24 hours now, and i was working on my fiancees phone at the same time so after twrp my own i did his, and then of course we both have black screens now in download mode, and there is nothing i have done that
will get me back to fastboot or to twrp.
If i hold in power it just kinda restarts download mode i can hear on my computer as it make the Plug in plug out sound from the Usb.
I have already gotten a lot of ugly stare downs from my fiancee now and i really cannot afford buying two new phones and of course i shouldnt need to either as since they are in black screen download mode they can be flashed, but i need the file you sir are talking about and also if you can say wich kind of miflash you used and etc i would be very happy and im seriuous about that paypal buying you a beer and what not thing.
I am going on vacation in few days also so i desperately need the phones to work or its not gonna be any happy vacation and definetly not any "happy times" either. so please help out!!
I am also equipped with teamwiewer if necessary,
Also, i opened up my own telephone and tried shorting out the two connectors inside, "testpoint" but it didnt give any difference at all, and i am out of ideas.
And of course now it seems i have searched so long for the correct files i cant find anything any longer as im stuck.
so .- yeah. Please get me out of this mess.
this is the link of 8.9.20 (latest) dev fastboot: http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.9.20/nitrogen_images_8.9.20_20180920.0000.00_8.1_cn_7c2f993484.tgz
For MiFlash, just google "MiFlash 2018" and download the Portable version, that's enough.
For Qualcomm driver, google "QDLoader HS-USB Driver" and download/install it.
Make sure that you can enter the EDL mode, if you do it right, you will see the device as "Qualcomm 9008" (cannot remember exactly the name) and Miflash will recognize the COM port then you are good to move forward.

the miflash asked me to log in, wich was succesful but its stuck in edl autitenctation and has been now for a while.
but can i flash global rom now??
and if so, how can i do it and not brick it again?
im guessing you want more than one beer??

Xiaomi has locked the account of the other phone, you need a Mi Authorized Account, which is not easy to find and is paid of course. Don't flash Global Stable over your China Dev, unless you unlocked bootloader officially. But you have the option to flash Xiaomi.eu rom, if your bootloader is unlocked. If not - don't.

I do not really understand your current issue. A picture will be better? In case if you forgot to logout, it's ok, you just need to input the password of that account.
Anyway, you cannot flash Global stable 9.6.6 (MIUI 9) over the 8.9.20 (MIUI 10 - antirollback activated), it will brick again.

Both telephones are unlocked by the belonging miaccounts.
I have run the unlock tool on them both of course before doing the TWRP and then someplace something got messed up, not sure yet and made me in this mess.
What i have done in difference on my phone and the other is that i have opened up mine and short circuited lol almost all check points inside it and after the last link mentioned here with the rom it worked.
but im not sure if it was the testpoint trick at all as that really didnt give any information about anything changed or not.
What im trying to do here now is to somehow flash this edl phone left back to china dev without me opening it up and do the testpoint wich i have no idea helped me or not.
I can try the unlock tool again see if it recognize any phones.
all help appreciated.
Try flashing China 8.8.30 of the other phone, maybe it will skip asking for Mi authorized acc. I have red somewhere it worked .
OK-
So i can hereby confirm that TESTPOINT is working.
So if you have bricked your phone into edl mode download mode and there is NO WAY you can flash it using miflash or twrp or anything, you can open it up and unplug the battery, short cut the testpoints wich in my case was my fumbling around everyone with a wire and then
retry connecting the battery and reflash.
I also tried testpoint with battery connected. I have NO IDEA if that was the case or not.
But i managed to get back my phones, but of course i nicked one screen so im guessing im gonna need to sell this and rebuy a new one with global as to keep the housepeace intact.
So- i will try and rewrite this into something that can be sticked to the front. Including pictures.
So, if I understand correctly, without the testpoint method, MiFlash was asking you for an authorized xiaomi account but with the testpoint there is no need for authorization?

Well. Good question.
Seems like it doesn't need something else than unlock.
But verified account, its really not a big deal.
Just create a miaccount beforehand and wait the 500 or so hours to unlock.
If you screw up something just testpoint it.
But i was logged into the account on the telephone on miflash. But wasnt verified the laptop i used so i couldn't flash.
But with testpoint Wich was kinda nervewrecking i fixed them both. Again.
I will wait for global official rom before doing this again.
My mi Max 3 is unlocked and bricked. Computer detects it as 9008 and mi flash. When i flash 8.9.2 cn dev rom, it is stuck on dummy.img. It is stuck on dummy.img in other firmware versions as well. How can i fix it ?
Edit : solved by Flashing with QFIL.
Flashed mine to stock global rom.
I was so nervous as hell.
Downloaded the official global and didnt even have the nerves to twrp it.
Do i Flashed it using xiaomi mi flasher and it worked.
Dont feel like messing more with it now...
You didn't take a pic of the test points you shorted by any chance did you? I'm sure that will hep out some people.
Thanks

up until now there's no patched firehose file for redmi note 8. You need to visit the service center as only they have authorized account to flash via edl mode.

although the name of the file sounds right according to sd665 qualcomm processor but the result in flashing failed with this message:
"SAHARA_NAK_INVALID_DEST_ADDR"
as with the result it doesn't seem to be a valid programmer file or it may not work on redmi note 8.
nevertheless thanks for your help.

Same here, no fastboot, MiFlash recognizes it but in middle of processing asks for an Authorized Account,
Is it possible by using test point method bypass it?
Did you mange to unbrick your device?
Do you know how much it will cost by XIaomi Service Center to unbrick the phone?

my device went to test point automatically because its whole partitions including fastboot, twrp, system and ... were deleted so it is identified in the windows as "EDL 9008". although it was in EDL mode, i did whatever to fix it during 3-4 month but useless.
i also tried xiaomi service center but they didn't help me. So i decided to pay a guy who had an authorized account, he fixed it for me remotely.
Did you even try S-Unlock website? It claims that provide you an authorized account for 35$.

hello bro,
let me know your error ok or not and how you ok
I flashed my device using the Indian MSM Tool and I am unable to revert back the stock T-Mobile flash using the T-Mo MSM Tool. Now my mobile radio will not enable. I tried flashing multiple T-Mobile modems that are posted on here and that did not fix the issue. So let me summerize.
Can someone guide me to 1) Flashing back to the T-Mobile stock firmware from the IN version, and or 2) Help me get my radios working again. I'd be willing to donate to whoever can help me resolve this issue!
Thanks!
Thanks, unfortunately it didn't work for me. My IMEI, MAC Addresses, and fingerprint functionality is still working. Now it's not recognizing my SIM card at all.
@FizzyAps @craznazn Do yall have any suggestions? Seems yall are the all stars here!

India MSM is known to screw things up and make devices think they are LE2120 instead of whatever it originally was, but at the same time, that's what makes it able to also flash ColorOS over to Oxygen easily...
I remember people solving something like issue on this forum, might need to search extensively.... I haven't had my OP9P for over 6 months now probably, so I can't help much... best of luck!

I really hate to say this. But I don't think there's no coming back from India os. I did the same thing not once but twice. I called T-Mobile and used my insurance. Only way. Read the topic in this forum bout the India msm tool. Idk if u noticed how much different the India os is from the eu and global os. But if there's away I wanna know also. Cause now the only msm tool your going to be able to use is the India one. But you can update to the a12 one of the color or oxygen I can't remember but ur modem will come on everything will be fine for a few days then it will start messing up again.

I think you're right. I'm going to RMA it with Oneplus.
I thought with my persist, modest1, and modemst2 I could SMT flash it and restore those files but I get a OnePlus write protection using edl and the OEM Unlocking option will not enable in the OS now. Hopefully they warranty repair it. That's my only concern. It's fairly new lol
Sorry I am just going on what that one thread was saying. And my experience I had to make TMobile believe that it was the phone breaking. Be sure to switch it back to the TMobile os. If the msmtool doesn't work fastboot flash it back before u take it back. The 2nd time they went through my phone saw I had the xda app they really started questioning me. I grabbed my phone back and said umm why u looking in my phone privacy dude. You're concern is only with network and data not my apps files and folders. But just save ya some trouble

Beg your pardon, I used the Indian MSM to unbrick before I was aware of it changing my TargetID to IN. Now I have to use a modded MSM tool to flash TMO firmware. I use Python3 to extract the .ops file, then open settings.xml, remove the "Target" line at the bottom encrypt back to a .ops file with the name out.ops and then flash that with the MSM tool. Then it will flash the TMO firmware and you are good to go.......
- op6 user - its destroyed now
but as i see that u cant use any other msm but the indian one? right?
i destroyed my op6 system and partations before,
OnePlus Agency, tried to fix it but no luck, i fixed it by msm but not the normal one
if 9pro msm is the same as op6 so you should do this
first, take twrp backup of EFS and MODEM partations and VENDOR ( idk if vendor is important but for precaution )
take another backup of EFC and MODEM by any root apps for precaution too
use the t-mobile msm flashtool and press on verify
the SMT mode should be able to use now
go to options, turn on the COM box or whatever
start flashing with SMT, but i think its high risk bc idk what error you get by normal flashing
keep in mind that SMT Mode will reFlash all known partations and hidden, hidden like MODEM, EFS, etc
my story with this is long, but funny for me, and big lesson..
thx for allah
@ripclap
edit: forget to tell that u have to restore the EFS backup, u should root t-mobile version or idk if u can restore it with some apps without root i dont remember
with op6 old firmware there is something called nvBackupUI it allow us to backup EFS and Restore it by one file
i know this maybe too old now but it may help
edit2:
some links about backup and restore EFS
1- https://community.oneplus.com/thread?id=278167
2- https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to-backup-or-restore-qcn-efs-on-qualcomm-devices/
3- https://www.droidthunder.com/how-to-backup-efs-imei-on-android-phones/
ALL of this is for SMT Mode, because it may clear the EFS partation and Root is needed to restore it, idk if there is non root method, do ur own search
Soo, I was installing eu rom via fastboot when accidentally close the terminal windows that was running the sh file (I was doing some other thing with homebrew, thought that was the one I was closing, yes I was careless) decided to relaunch the .sh file but it got stuck on waiting for the device, decided to try and restart my phone, only problem is that after exiting fastboot cant seem to get out of blackscreen, Im completely lost, any help is appreciated
That's not good. You now likely have to use EDL Mode to flash a ROM.
Problem is, Xiaomi locked the EDL Mode to Xiaomi Authorised Service Centers, who have an Authorized Account to initiate the Flash.
They did this to stop people from importing the Chinese Variants to EU/USA, flashing ROM and selling them for Cheap.
<Moderator Edit>: @cyanGalaxy, I'll let you know just as soon as I can about what I removed from this post and why.
I have experience with that because I've gone through it. <Moderator Edit>

You probably have to pay someone $35 on Telegram. They'll help you unbrick your phone. They'll do this by remote-controlling your PC.
I used this group https://t.me/miauthofficial_d
I had to do this once and it worked.
It may be possible for cheaper, maybe elsewhere ^^ I did it using the Telegram Group I linked above for ~24€ ($35).

Ok, yeah that sucks. <Moderator Edit> I can explain the other choice in more detail, since I've gone a hardbrick and so know a bit about it.
But if the Xiaomi Store would do it, that's also good.

I don't know if flashing Custom ROMs invalidates Warranty-Claims. ^^ (i know yours is out of it already, but maybe they have mercy)

I sent you a PM
So just a Black Screen? No Recovery or Fastboot?
You might have to flash a ROM via EDL Mode... The unfortunate thing though is that it will cost you money, unless you still have Warranty...
You said your PC briefly says that your phone got connected. In Device Manager, does it say "Qualcomm 9008" ? That would indicate that your phones' SOC detected that the Bootloader isn't working, and so, instead booted into the EDL Mode (Emergency DownLoad Mode), which is a read-only Mode inside the SOC itself.

is now fixed, yes was in EDL mode.
it's a shame that I didn't know about the guarantee... the phone is only 6 months old... now I've paid $25 to "unlock" it

Sorry about that.
What did you do to make that happen? From which FW to which FW did you upgrade to?

My mistake was to listen to someone else and downgrade the firmware

Downgrading is not a problem if the instructions are followed correctly.

This is why it is important to give as much detail as possible when asking a question.
If you had specified that the phone was less than 6 months old, I would have directed you to the warranty as suggested by CyanGalaxie.
Currently the guarantees are under contracted by Xiaomi and the returns are very bad (loss of the phone, broken screen, long delays, etc.).
In your case you got your phone back in 15 minutes, maybe it's better that way.
So I'm satisfied that it really worked within half an hour to "unlock" my cell phone again instead of sending it in etc.
I just tried to downgrade via sideload. that led to the EDL
All in all I'm glad that my cell phone is working again ... I'm just annoyed because I've been playing around with all sorts of cell phones for over 10 years and I couldn't figure it out myself

The best way to downgrade is to use Miflash or the bat file (Fastboot rom)included in the rom folder to avoid ARB.
Phones have since changed, notably with dynamic and A/B partitions.
If you were trying to downgrade/upgrade the FW due to requirement/recommendation by your Custom ROM, you can simply flash the FW inside TWRP/OrangeFox.

This method to have the right firmware for for example an aosp rom does not always work sometimes it is necessary to flash the full rom.
For a version change on a stock rom use fastboot roms which contain all the imgs.
Yeah, stupid anti-rollback thing. Threads like these make me wish someone already unlocks the EDL flashing. I heard developers need some source code or something for it, I'm not sure. But that needs to happen ASAP.
It's totally evil to keep EDL restricted.

For ARB okay but for EDL mode it's just a matter of security, you lose or your phone is stolen and just flash in edl mode and the phone is yours, no.
Then the guy will only be able to flash AOSP roms as he will be blocked by the Xiaomi account.
Note that this only concerns Qualcomm Socs,Mediatek are more less secure.
@NOSS8 We are modders and tinkerers here man. We were doing just fine before these restrictions. These restrictions have been added less for "security" and more to take control away from the end users anyway.

There are patched Firehose files (for QPST) on the internet (apparently circumvents the required Account authorisation). I can't provide a link, but you can google it.
But I'm not sure if those work, because I couldn't find one for Poco F3, and so I too had to pay 25$
It's very annoying that people buy into these pseudo-security lies we're getting fed so often (especially Apple Users). People don't realise this is not about protecting consumers, but simply for lé money. It has always been about the money.
Xiaomi locked the EDL Mode, because people kept buying their phones from China and import them to EU/USA, flash software with GMS and sell them here.
And locking EDL Mode causes more people to pay for Xiaomi Service Centres. xddd
I wish people would just have a healthy amount of criticism and not fanboy for any company, except for Valve. Valve is cool. Valve is love
