Redmi 4 Prime stuck at EDL - Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers

Hi all.
I'm having a hard time with this phone, right in this moment I have it dismantled on my desk and only boots only on EDL mode.
I think I made a mistake and screwed the bootloader up.
I can get the phone properly in HS-USB 9008(EDL) mode and flash whatever ROM I want. So There is no problem to access the phone to flash ROMs.
The problem I have is that after I flash anything and I remove the battery the phone boots directly in EDL mode.
What are the options I had at hand?
1.-Through it away (last resort)
2.-I have another Redmi 4 Prime at hand. Is it possible to back the Bootloader up in other cell phone and flash it in the broken one?
3.-Can someone point some other option (Take it to service is not an option).
See ya guys and thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Try to press the both volume buttons and power on the device. Or just hold the volume down button and power on the device.

If u have unlocked bootloader try to reboot to Fastboot mode, Press Power and vol- and wait, 10~20 seconds max

The problem is that I cannot take any action on the phone. It just goes directly to EDL in the moment I connect the battery connector to the phone board.
Thanks anyway.

I kept pressing Power + Vol+ for more than 3 minutes... no luck.
Right in this moment I'm draining the battery out, just to see if it makes any difference when it guests completely discharged.
I think the Error I made was patching the Bootloader. If the Bootloader got corrupted perhaps the phone goes directly to EDL HS-USB 9008 mode automatically. The problem is that I don't know how I can flash a Bootloader from another phone (I still have the second Redmi4 Prime new/untouched )
Does anyone know if flashing the Bootloader form another phone unit is possible?
Thanks anyway.

Update:
I gained some knowledge about the cell phone and the boot process...
This is more or less my findings....
1.- I think the problem is really the bootimage. Not the bootloader itself but the piece that starts with the boot process at the very beginning.
2.-I could flash roms with Flashtool from Xiaomi and with the QFIL tool from Qualcomm and both of them finish properly.
3.-I know that there is an mbn file called 8953_msimage.mbs that I would need to restate that part of the boot process (8953 is the SOC code for the Snapdragon 625 that this phone has).
4.-The 8953_msimage.mbn should be standar to the best of my knowledge so it would be OK using that file from a ROM from a different vendor that integrates the same SOC (8953) from Qualcomm.
The problem now... I see that usually the "Service roms" a.k.a. "Fastboot ROMs" on Xiaomi language usually don't come with this msimage file. I checked the Moto Z Play and the Huawai G9 models that integrate the same SOC (8953) from Qualcomm but so far no luck getting the 8953_msimage.mbn.
Does anyone know how can I find that file?
...learning a lot with this problem...

Amazon Blu R1 HD [Firmware] [Restore] [Unbrick] [Unroot]

How to Firmware Restore the Amazon Blu R1 HD
With the Help of many of you at XDA we have put together a working scatter file and I have pulled the Firmware from the device so that we can now restore this phone.
View attachment 3826922
STEPS TO RESTORE DEVICE AND BE ABLE TO HAVE ADS AND OTA UPDATES WORKING AGAIN
1. Download SP_Flash_Tool_BLU_R0010UU_V6.4_Firmware.zip
2. Extract the SP_Flash_Tool_BLU_R0010UU_V6.4_Firmware.zip to your desktop. Note 7zip is great to extract files.
3. lauch Flash_tool.exe
4. select scatter-loading and browser to load MT6735_Android_scatter_R1_HD_Amazon.txt
5. click download button to start.
6. now plug your phone into the computer. to boot the device to preloader and start the flash. You can do it two ways: 1. power off the phone and flash will start or 2. From a powered off stat power on the device while plugged into the computer. either way will start the sp flash tool.
7. once the flash is complete you can unplug the device and reboot it with the power button. Congrats you have fully restored your Amazon Blu R1 HD. Bonus you have also enabled bootloader unlocking if you want it.
Tutorial Video with all the steps need to restore.
NOTE: This has been fully tested on the Amazon R1 HD 16GB model but should work on the 8gb also.
You're the man!
Hi, I keep getting this error:
BROM ERROR: S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL(0x13BE)
[EMI]Obtain DRAM Failed!
[HINT]:
Please check your load matches to your target which is to be downloaded
Do you have any idea how to fix it? Thanks.
Dude this doesnt work for me.
When I plug in my phone, a popup from Flash tools comes up saying, "PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded."
Then what?

EDIT - DO NOT USE THE DOWNLOAD+FORMAT MODE EVER ON THE R1, IT WILL RESULT IN A BRICK, IT MAY WORK ON OTHER MTK MODELS, BUT EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN IT WILL BRICK THE R1 HD!!!! DOWNLOAD ONLY IS THE ONLY SAFE METHOD!!
Occurs if the names or addresses of the blocks in the scatter differ from the table inside the phone (PMT).
Thats not good, i suggest maybe checking the scatter file making sure its not currupt... Or try the following alternate solution....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-convert-to-prime-rollback-ota-t3432499
This also seems to be a solution,but perhaps more dangerous last ditch effort maybe?? The video is for a different MTK SoC, but from what what im reading it's the same technique across the MTK lineup..

Keep in mind, only "recovery" was checked and nothing else.

Format your phone, but not the bootloader, and then try reflashing

The format method, i stumbled upon, i just added as a last ditch effort, I'm not sure whats causing the errors to begin with. The scatter addresses all still match the block addresses mapped in the new OTA, so that theory is shot, im not sure what else could be going on.
If SPFT WON'T FLASH
1. Power off your phone.
2. Hold the power and volume up buttons then choose "recovery" from the menu that shows up.
(volume buttons = up/down, power button = ok/select)
3. Now choose power off.
Doing the above makes sure your phone is COMPLETELY shut off, windows can find your phone, and SPFT will be able to flash it.
I believe that, when you use "power off", from within android, it actually puts the phone in some type of suspend or hibernation mode. I say this because you can hit the power button and it will boot very quickly after powering off within android, but from recovery it takes longer to boot. This was the case with mine.
Your only other option is to let the battery completely drain, then try SPFT.
SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE GUYS THAT ROOTED THIS SUCKER AND UNLOCKED IT! GREAT WORK! ???? :good:

I just saw your other thread you started
http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/question-restoring-to-factory-default-t3440059
And now I see why you had this error. You have the 8gb version not the 16gb. So this method uses the wrong scatter file for you phone. Please update the forum if you still have the phone and need assistance. There are some commands that you can run in adb to see the partition sizes and then with that the scatter file can be adjusted for your phone
sorry for being off topic here but i really need to know if its possible to unlock more 4g bands , in my contry they don't release the infomation of what bands the providers work so its a guessing game, since i got this phone i purchased the 4g sim card , even with the band 12 update still stuck at 3g , even with proper 4g apn still stuck at 3g wich i came to a conclusion that the 4g bands from the Blu R1 HD are not the same as my providers...in conclusion can it be done ( open up more bands to see wich band will get me the 4g) and if so please explain to me how i can do so please.
This worked for me, but I had to factory reset after because OTA was still detecting root.
Help me!
hello, I do all the steps but remains in the logo and reboots
THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH 8GB/1GB version :'(
Hello,
I just want to unroot my Blu R1, what should I do?
DOA Bricked
Any hope for an R1 which will now not even power up?
This will not work on any of the latest versions. My model is a 2GB/16GB - I was on Coltons root and tried this to go back to stock with my phone now stuck in boot loop.
Do not use this method.

A2017G bricked with Lineage OS and Twrp

Hullo,
I succesfully installed Lineage with no problems in the OS, but was unable to access TWRP as it asked for a decryption pattern that didn't seem to match the pattern I set on my phone. I then tried a password in the OS but this also didn't work in TWRP.
After checking the thread again, I found Unjustified had recommended the TWRP found in his bootloader, which I then downloaded and proceeded to install via fastboot. The installation appeared to go smoothly but after that I was unable to turn on my phone.
After pressing the power button I am presented with either the battery icon or the ZTE logo, which disspears after a few seconds followed by three flashing red lights. The last flashing light seems to be cut off part way.
I thought this might be a dead battery but even after charging for an extended period of time the result is the same.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Your phone doesn't seem to be bricked at all.
That was a known issue many G users encountered...
Just boot into TWRP by pressing Power and volume + or choosing it from the bootloader warning screen and reflash the universal B15 N bootloader.
Reboot your phone and from now on it should boot every N rom just fine :fingers-crossed:
Good luck,
Martin

I'm glad to hear it is quite common, but I should mention that the three lights persist when I try to load TWRP... I can only get as far as the ZTE logo.
The bootloader warning also hasn't shown since I attempted to flash TWRP as the phone appears to cut off after showing ZTE.
I will try an overnight charge in case the battery is completely empty and somehow slow charging. But any other suggestions are most welcome.
Kind regards,
James

You should try some button combinations like
Power + volume down
Power + volume down + volume up
And see how the device reacts
It helps connecting the device to a PC to look up in device manager to determine the mode its booted in

Thanks for the continued help.
I was just trying to connect it to the PC and appear to have made some headway, it started off showing up as qusb_bulk, but after repeatedly deleting that driver I returned to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM6).
As I understand axon7root *should be able to write to the device at this point.
Does this device name give any indication as to the problem?
I wonder if miflash could be used on a G model to unbrick it. I'm happy to restart from stock files.

As you are in EDL now you have some options.
First I would try to flash a recovery and boot image that is proven to be working fine e.g official twrp https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/recovery-official-twrp-zte-axon-7-t3515715 or some A2017G stock boot.img
If that doesn't help you could get in contact with @jcadduono to be a tester for that miflash method. (As your device is already pretty badly bricked)
I don't exactly know how EDL flashing works if it depends on a exact GPT table or not.
But I can say that I flashed every single part of the A2017U bootloader except for NON-HLOS (modem) on my A2017G for each B29 and B15 and it worked just fine. So maybe we just have to exchange the modem file in the EDL package :silly:
If you don't want to take that risk you also could try sending it back to ZTE and hope they don't check the bootloader :fingers-crossed:
(Just a thought: Maybe if the EDL package won't work on your device it will be so heavily damaged ZTE can't check for bootloader unlock and accept it as a warranty case, but don't take that too seriously )

Martin

If you are not afraid then try to use my package for A2017G with MiFlash: https://mega.nz/#!88BjXKhA!TnVSobBw5PkmShSqZ-Ni8MCCbnhJP2SWRNvvXqYHSjc
I really appreciate all this advice!
Looks like the MiFlash is promising. I was able to load the phone into MiFlash from the [EDL] thread. I have just tried the A2017G package provided by djkuz and will report back with any updates.
Just got to the mifavor screen, charging the battery from empty, although quickcharge appears to be functional again.
The charging battery logo is different from before so appears that this bootstack has done the trick.
The flashing red light has gone now, appears to be loading Lineage as before! I'm so grateful for all this help
However, now the unlock pattern is coming up as 'wrong pattern'. Is there anything that can be done? My settings appear to be saved as before (wallpaper and quick settings are the same).
I will attempt to reinstall twrp recovery and fix the lockscreen over adb. Thanks very much for the help. The brick has gone!!

Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 nexus 6P (HELP!)

Hi there, I've been browsing through the threads related to unbricking of the Nexus 6P stuck in qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode, really desperate to get my device working again if even possible however I've tried for about four days now different ways and files and I've had no luck.
My bootloader is locked and no ADB etc managed to get my device showing as the 9008 port so I think it's stuck in EDL.
Following guides, this is the furthest I've yet to get (In screenshot)
Could anyone shed some light and some assistance please? what am I doing wrong!?

Use a hairdryer to warm up the back of the phone.
Are you pulling my leg? Warm it up then reflash?
nah im not trying to make you destroy your phone, being rather serious with this method. i use it on a daily basis to solve phones that fail during restoring factory images. i wouldn't know how long to give it with a hair dryer as i have access to a heat gun/heat mats .
just think of it as a cheap mans re balling method

thank you so much that worked, it has said flash successful, first time I got a google logo but now nothing, what would be my next step please?
if the bootloader is unlocked then you can directly flash the firmware. but if its not google "nexus ota" and then on your phone jump into the recovery and check the firmware model number and download the same ota and adb sideload it.
im not 100% sure on the next step as I've never had a nexus 6p with a dead bootloader. but thats what id do.
---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------
but from my personal experience with having to heat a phone up to restore factory images, it kinda means the phone is nearing the end of its life and id start thinking about buying your next phone before it sh*ts the bed.

Thank you for the reply and continuing to help, after seeing the google logo just once I'm getting nothing again - I'm even more determined now though as It's been dead for 2 months so this is the furthest I've gotten - the application of heat is what did it for me and fixed the error I was getting, can't get into recovery now though holding power + down etc

yeah can you access the bootloader at all ? does it say that the bootloader is locked ? from trying to restore LG's it sometimes has to be re heated a few times, but yeah if you need to re heat it to get further into the phone then its pretty much a lost cause. the only reason i do it is to remove the data so we can resell the device.

Oh right, so even once restored to firmware, will it be useless do you think if I can even manage to?

I believe so, I can just about get into the bootloader at the best of times and when I do I can select options but once proceeding to start said mode phone freezes so can't get into recovery mode :/
Thank you for your continuous help, only way i can get it into bootloader is by heating it up so does that mean for the device to ever work It'll need heat every time? looking like a spares and repairs listing on ebay

Hello....
How did you manage to get in to EDL mode..? I'm really curious. With stock bootloader? Since you can't access recovery
Also what is exactly displayed in Windows device manager?
You are using an outdated QFil version... It is from 2014 àr 2015.
Do a google search with: QPST_2.7.453.0 . This version seem to be from 2016.
Use the first link from the result. I analysed the files with virustotal, those seem clean or malware...
Also when plugging your usb cord to your PC, does your phone vibrate? Or does the LED blink in red?
You may have to press power button when plugging the usb cord or press power button for a certain amount of time before you plug the usb cord. I'm not completly sure, but your phone may not be in the "proper" EDL state to accept the QFil flash.
Good luck... :good:
Is it possible to send me the guide you used? Thanks.

Hi there, I've been browsing through the threads related to unbricking of the Nexus 6P stuck in qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode, really desperate to get my device working again if even possible however I've tried for about four days now different ways and files and I've had no luck.
My bootloader is locked and no ADB etc managed to get my device showing as the 9008 port so I think it's stuck in EDL.
Following guides, this is the furthest I've yet to get (In screenshot)
Could anyone shed some light and some assistance please? what am I doing wrong!?

Hey there sorry for slow replies, will be back on my desktop in an hour I'll send you links for what I followed and such, I think the only reason my device was in EDL mode was due to a hardware fault? As my device is faulty indefinitely as I had to use a hairdryer to warm it up while flashing this then allowed it to enter firehose state which a lot of people seem to error with - after all my attempts and research I'm to velieve there's a fault with the phone itself the only way I could get it to even power up was applying heat to it after removing the back panel
As blackcell said deballing or something? Worked a treat!
Furthest I've managed to get now is into my boot loader however everything is locked - when I press enter recovery my handset just freezes ?

Light usually a red LED blink while in proper EDL state as far as I know. Could be something else on the N6P. Well, it looks like you are SOL. Sorry, I don't know what else to say, since you exhausted all possibilities...
Good luck...

SM-950F Hard bricked, JTAG?

Hey
So I was flashing android 7.0 to an S8 and it completely died, this is how completely:
- No screen/LED/vibration motor
- No safety/recovery/download mode (and don't ask about button combos, I've tried them all)
- No USB recognition from device manager (not even as exynos in other devices, just nothing)
- USB jig does nothing
- It is however recognised by wireless chargers (but I doubt that has any real significance)
At this point my question is would a JTAG even work on it? Or is my only hope a complete motherboard replacement?

Jtag dead phone to life and rewrite IMEI
I had the same thing, sent it to Fonefunshop in England, they said they could fix it, the didn't even open it as discovered by the guys who fixed it and is necessary to use jtag.
Fonefunshop said eMMC chip was bad, which is not true, but that led me to search for someone to replace the chip. I found A2Z cellular in Ottawa, Canada. They got the phone to boot up, but IMMEI was null( I did this trying to flash back to stock after TWRP screwed up). They rewrote original IMEI , now phone works like new. These guys are amazing.

Thank you all for the advice.
But I have now managed to unbrick and reflash the firmware. khawarjaved's advice turned out to be what fixed it in the end.
That was close, nearly lost £30

I have been through that situation man.... So always ready to help, ??
Hi pros
I'm in kind of a similar situation....I think I flashed MY 950U PIE with wrong BL
This phone is dead....Doesn't boot...no download mode....No recovery mode....
When connected to pc....device manager Recognises device as QUALCOMM HS USB 9008
Any way to brig it back to life...?
Your phone is connected in edl download mod. It will accept special files which will allow it to boot to download mode and let you flash stock firmware
The tool used for this is emmcdl.exe
It has to come with phone specific files
No idea where to get it. Ask people here, those who root phones. They know.

Has anyone succeeded in repairing a bricked Poco M3?

My M3 was working perfectly. I put it to restart and then it didn't turn on anymore. It is now only recognized as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" on Windows. I opened the phone and with some magical combination (remove/connect flat cables from the battery and display, connect the USB cable, press volume keys and short the test points) it started in fastboot. So I was able to flash the "fastboot ROM". Unfortunately, on the next boot it still does not turn on normally. Has anyone succeeded in repairing the Poco M3? In Mi Flash is requested an authenticated account to flash through it, is it worth paying someone to provide the account? Does anyone have the contact of someone who makes cheap? Any help is welcome, thank you!
me too
waiting, someone pls

nothing yet. we need firehose to bypass miflash authentication. or drain the battery then press vol down + power for 10secs.

Yeahhh,my phone finally boot up!
But sadly the latest update failed to install.Guess I should just wait until someone patch the firehose file and try not to update until then.Fingercross!

sorry, there's is no tutorial for this and it has a quite process. you just need to throttle the proc temperature of your phone board using hot blower or any device you have. while your phone is in high temp. both pin board and battery is in unplug hold vol down then put back the board pin and battery pin at the same time. it will vibrate and fastboot will be fine.
Guys this is my procedure to turn on the phone:
I can make it turn on Android after messing with the battery and sub-board cables but this is just a workahound, trying to turn it on normally through the power button always makes it turn on in edl mode
But opening the device voids the warranty, so anyone who has access to a repair center is better off asking for the warranty
What to do:
1. Disconnect the battery cable and the secondary board cable.
2. Connect charger.
3. Hold the power button.
4. Connect the secondary board cable and quickly connect the battery cable.
5. Release the power button when the device vibrates.
It doesn't always work the first time, you may need several tries to get it
