i guess i somewhat kinda bricked my nitrogen, please help out

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.

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

My device isn't detected when I click on "Enum" button
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update.

No, it just allows you to go back to stock T-Mobile firmware in case you bricked your device.

Did they successfuly flash your phone with the attached file? Their level 2 techs are complete idiots and keep trying the wrong software. So is it correct this time?

That's the best thing I could have read all week.

I've heard this is what we've been waiting for to convert to International firmware. I see above that it can't be used for that. What needs to happen before we can convert?

Lots of testing. This year's convert process has be a tad bit harder due to OnePlus trying to make things a tad more difficult for us. Just stay patient and it will come soon in some form of manner.

So another little update. I managed to convert(a dirty way) and it involves at least being bootloader unlocked. I waited a week and got my code and immediately did this. This method isn't released yet but if you guys are interested in testing and have some skills in edl and know your way around python or adb please PM ME. We can get you into our testing group temporarily and try some methods to get you converted. This will be per discretion by me. If I don't think you can help I'm NOT going to add you.

Nice. I unfortunately need to wait until a bootloader unlock is possible since T-Mobile refuses to unlock mine.

This is really, REALLY good news. Well done, Joe!!

Call Recording and Indonesia ROM

Just got a Redmi Note 8 Pro with Global ROM and discovered that call recording won't work due to Google/Android Pie limitations.
After some searching, I found (on this forum) that the Indonesia ROM supports call recording on this phone.
Here are my questions:
1. Will burning a different ROM affect my warranty?
2. Will I lose any functionality by switching from Global to Indonesia ROM, and if so, what? Specifically, will NFC functionality be affected?
3. If I ever do a factory reset, will the phone revert to Global ROM?
4. I found the Indonesia ROM files here. There are three files called Recovery, OTA, and Fastboot. Do I need them all? If so, do they need to be burned in any specific order?
5. Where can I find complete instructions for burning the Indonesia ROM? I am new to Xiaomi, and the last time I burned a ROM to a phone was 5 years ago (Samsung); I don't remember anything, so I'd like instructions that assume nothing and don't skip any steps (instructions for intelligent dummies). I found these instructions for installing TWRP, but there's nothing about what to do next, and there's a list of pre-requisites with no explanations (Unlocked Bootloader, Phone Drivers, ADB and Fastboot Drivers), making the instructions insufficient for a noob like me.
Thanks much.

Hey,
Before going any further you first need to make sure what region is your phone. Is it a Chinese phone (bought from AliExpress for example) or a real Global phone (bought from a local store/official retail). Because you could very well own a Chinese phone shipped with a Global Rom flashed on it and this could result in some problems for you in terms of what you can do with it and how you can do it.
If you bought/received a phone with already unlocked bootloader, you should return it.
Unlocking bootloader should only be done by you when you need it.
1. Technically unlocking bootloader, ESSENTIAL step prior flashing anything, void your warranty.
However and that's what is interesting, if at some point you decide to flash back your original region rom (here Global) and lock back bootloader, none will know but Xiaomi servers you once unlocked this device certainly not a local reseller. So in term of warranty you should be safe, that is of course unless you brick your phone doing stuff you were not supposed to do with a locked bootloader if you are following.
2. If not mistaking, I think you loose NFC. Indian phones for sure do not have NFC at all, for their version, the chip was replaced with a 2nd SIM card tray (not shared). Not sure if you read the functionality afterward using rooted tricks.
3. No that does not work this way. When you are running a Rom, any version, if you factory reset that room, you just return to installation screen of that given Rom.
To return to Global Rom, you will need to reflash that Global Rom using the same method you did successfully flashing the Indonesian Rom (or any other rom) for example.
Would be wise to first download the exact version of the Rom you are currently using on your phone for archives purpose (BURN IT on good quality medias!) to revert back to it when/if needed. You can also archives OTA updates of that version you may not have taken yet to apply them manually if you ever revert back to that Global Rom and want to.
4. Different versions depends on what you are doing. In your case Fastboot version is what you need at the moment. You can find all different kind of versions of Roms for your RN8PRO on that site
As for the way to flash them, order and everything, you will need to look for guides online,
I dont think any order matters, just make sure to flash them all before rebooting disconnecting device. But if you are unsure of what you are doing, you'd be probably best using a tool such as MiFlash.
5. Here you can find one from the MIUI community website guiding you through the use of MiFlash to flash a stock Rom on your device.
Just note you do not have to use any tools to flash the .images of all partitions, you can easily doing it from command line using fastboot flash command one after an other.
Also note that installing TWRP is usually not needed to flash stock Roms (unlike flashing custom roms). Trying to mess up with the recovery partition is actually what seem to brick most of the devices.
However please note UNLOCKING your BOOTLOADER is MENDATORY.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

doesnt matter if you switch to any rom variant .i have switched mine to indonesian ,europe and indian and alll worked fine execpt indian version felt a bit laggy .just download the fastboot version of the rom and flash it through mi flash tool xiaomiflash .your bootloader needs to be unlocked and dont forget to check cleann all button in mi flash and dont check clean and lock

I have got global version and changed imei with unlocked bootloader. Can i flash indonesian rom without lose f my imei?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Muad.Dib,
Thanks for your detailed reply.
If I understand correctly, unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty just the same as rooting the phone, so if all I want is to get call recording, I may as well just root the phone and save the bother of flashing a different ROM.
Does that make sense to you, or do you see any advantage to flashing a different stock ROM instead of just rooting the phone? From past experience I've seen that rooting has additional benefits anyway.
BTW, I bought my phone on Banggood. It was advertised as Global ROM, and that appears to be what it has. As soon as I turned the phone on it updated to MIUI Global 11.0.2.1; I don't know what version it was before the update.

You're welcome, I am happy if I was useful to you in any kind of ways.
Well yes and no. Yes apparently you 'could' achieve call recording when rooted (yet I still fail doing so even if I installed the default MUI apps module I got from Telegram group. The setting to automatic recording is set to on yes, but I dont see recordings in the supposed destination folder nor I can see a simple button to record any voicecall I used to have on older versions of Android. Me failing to make it work - I did not try very hard to be honest - does not mean you cannot find someone who succeeded into doing so in that telegram group for RN8PRO).
That said it would not be a 'native' solution, just a patch/workaround. If it works well great, if not, well...
On an other hand by flashing to a Rom which does support it natively, well you are covered for the use you need.
So the advantage I see (with the included disadvantages) is better support for the function which is not supported for privacy reasons en Glob/EU market.
Does that come at a price?
Probably.
For example are you ready to trade off NFC for native call recording support? That may be a choice you have to make in the end. Again that said, if you root your phone on that new Rom, install NFC drivers manually as root (I see no reasons why that would not be possible after all) you may be able to patch NFC on that other Rom since unlike Indonesians market phone, you do have NFC hardware.
For example, myself, I wish I could have made that kind of bargain/trade off, giving up that NFC feature I have no need for, to get 8GB or Ram + 2x Sims + SD and not an hybrid tray. Unfortunately that's not the kind of trade I could make here in EU unless I would have ordered directly from Amazon.in (assuming that would have been possible) or third party website, but that was not possible for warranty reasons among other things.
Hope this helps.

I finally had the time to test the MIUI-default-apps Magisk module available for download on Telegram group, originally made for MIUI 11.0.1.0, and it works properly on MIUI 11.0.2.0 EEA. Does not require changing Rom.
Hope this helps.

Well, I have finally started the process, but got stymied by the Bootloader Unlock tool (Couldn't unlock. Please unlock 168 hours later.). Quite frustrating. I see that a lot of people have this problem and had to try again more than once, waiting a week between attempts.
Is there a workaround or do I just have to wait a week and hope for the best?
Also, assuming all goes well and I eventually manage to unlock the bootloader and flash the Indonesia ROM, do I use the same tool to re-lock the bootloader (in order to restore the security of the phone)?
And if I want to unlock again in the future, will I again possibly get the "wait and try again next week" message, or does that only happen the first time?
Thanks.

No workaround, you just have to wait (and yes I know how freaking frustrating it was for me...). You can even start meditation classes meanwhile it helps

It depends on what your the flavor of the phone you got. You may want to have a look at that other thread Relock bootloader after flashing ROM Indonesia where we actually covered this exact subject
The good thing about that 7 days wait period is you can gather all the intel you need to be 100% ready when the time come to seriously mess up with things.
So you know, once your bootloader is unlocked, first thing you will want to do BEFORE anything else, is blow off that security which needed Auth Account to unbrick account (ONLY WORKS FOR PIE, ANDROID 9 MIUI VERSION BEWARE).
All information is here: [GUIDE][INFO][PSA] Redmi Note 8 Pro - Megathread

The waiting time is for one time only (THANKS GOD!).
So if you relock, beside having to get your hands on the unlock tool once again and have added the same infos as for the first time in the phone, you will be able to unlock right away.
That's at least a good news
Hope this helps,

Yes of course.
It is a module you can find on the Telegram group called "Redmi Note 8 Pro | OFFICIAL".
Like me you will have to go in there even if you do not use Telegram.
Once there and you got the /notes it is called the default apps.
I cannot share it myself here because I am not the developer of that module, as you can understand that's against forums policies.
All I can tell you is it works correctly on EEA MIUI 11.0.2.0.
Good luck!
Hope this helps.

Thanks man, I got it! ?

I have disovered that there are different NGC protocols and that my Redmi Note 8 Pro does not read NFC cards of some protocols. I'm wondering if it might not be a driver issue. where would I look for NFC drivers?
Thanks
Muad.Dib said:
For example are you ready to trade off NFC for native call recording support? That may be a choice you have to make in the end. Again that said, if you root your phone on that new Rom, install NFC drivers manually as root (I see no reasons why that would not be possible after all) you may be able to patch NFC on that other Rom since unlike Indonesians market phone, you do have NFC hardware.

Sadly I have no idea. I think you should make a new thread about this to get more visibility and probably more answers from people who actually knows the answer.

Hey,
Sorry was AFK for a while. In case you still need answer, going to reply just in case.
Well there is not much to add, you simply install the module from within Magisk once it installed, you reboot, and it works out of the box, you go in the settings and you set it as you like.
Good luck!

Do i need to root before installing it ?

Question Oneplus 9 Pro T-MO (LE-2127) Revert to stock and fix modem. Will donate.

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

I'll just flash it clean to where it doesn't even boot lol

Maybe its a bit off topic... but what do we learn about it? NEVER buy a carrier branded device if you want play with root. The lower price is not worth. I learned that over 10yrs ago xD

Yea I learned my lesson

What sucks is I have the modemst1, modemst2, and persist image backups but I cannot unlock it to upload. I am trying to modify the MSM Tool settings.xml to patch the modemst and persist images and I almost had success using the SMT Downloader but I think I don't have the offset bytes set properly to match the partition table.

Try this, worked for me from In back to TMO....

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

Question LE2125 to LE2123 - Can do? How to do?

I have a OnePlus 9 Pro. Lost my dual sim function after updating to Android 13 in a weird way (it was ok at first). Now it shows only one. I want to revert to the European LE2123 as saw it can support it. I am in Hong Kong and seems this is the best option as I don't need the India version and I don't necessarily need Chinese (at least I don't read Chinese).
I have searched and gone down too many rabbit holes- so hope someone has been there already and can guide me.
Thanks!

To revert your OnePlus 9 Pro to the European version of Android 13 (LE2123), you will need to flash the firmware for that version onto your device. This is a technical process that involves using specialized software to replace the operating system on your device.
Before you begin, you should make sure that you have backed up all of your important data, as the process will erase everything on your device. You will also need to download the firmware for the European version of Android 13 (LE2123) and the appropriate flashing tool.
To flash the firmware onto your device, you will need to follow these steps:
Enable developer mode on your device by going to Settings > About phone > Software information > More > Developer options.
Enable USB debugging on your device by going to Settings > Developer options > USB debugging.
Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
Open the flashing tool and follow the prompts to install the firmware onto your device.
When the process is complete, your device will restart and you should be able to use the European version of Android 13 (LE2123).
It is important to note that this process can be risky and may result in data loss or damage to your device if not done correctly. If you are not comfortable with technical processes or are unsure about how to proceed, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a professional.

Oneplus 9 Pro. LE2125. But I read somewhere that the LE2125 can be changed to LE2123 with the software change as it is not hardware-dependent entirely. Yes, the Indian hardware version has different radio frequencies, but the EU and US are very similar. Anyway- I have gone down a rabbit hole and not really sure.

Use LE2125 msmtool and then flash the LE2123 OOS11 rom through fastboot. It can be done by payload flasher also, payload file is included in full rom zip. Once you have converted to LE2123, do a factory reset and you can update it normally all the way to OOS13.

Thank you- thank you for being professional to provide assistance. I can do the flash but wanted to make sure it was safe/possible before I tried. Currently, the phone is not working well enough to keep it as is, so worth any risk to fix it. Currently using a Xiaomi 11T Pro and love it- so I know there is a huge gap in getting the OnePlus working properly again.
But where is the 'flashing tool' found?
