Hi All -
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Pro with an unlocked bootloader which is stuck in a boot loop or fastboot screen. It has some very recent pics and videos that I desperately want to save. Thre is no SD card in the phone. However, I cannot get the phone to be detected by the computer/ boot in recovery etc. I have tried a few DIY(TWRP) from online forums but to no avail. I flashed it with MI flash tool(fastboot rom) using save user data; Flash was successful but the phone is still stuck in a bootloop.
I came across an article on Gizbeat with the title " Flash ROM upgrade firmware without losing user data cache" which showed how to save user data while flashing the phone with SP Flash tool. The author has advised deselecting certain parts of the scatter file. I have downloaded Redmi Pro china stable fastboot rom, but the scatter file has different parts to what was shown in the tutorial. At this stage, I do not know what to deselect.
Can the experts on this forum please advise which options should be selected/deselected to save user data while flashing? I have attached a screenshot of the scatter file. Thanks already.
Anyone? Please!

Flash through fastboot and use the save data option in mi flash, it's easier than flashtools

But it showed ' cannot receive hello packet'. Then i tried to flash with Q_loader. But it fails. Now what can i do. Please help

Lol
I hv the greatest solution for this shi..t
Just go to fast boot mode by pressing volume down and power.
And
Open mi bootloader unlock tool in pc
And simply unlock ur bootloader normally
This will unlock ur bootloader again
And do whatever uh want
Flash rom again but this tym select only clean all
Device will boot normally
Thats it
This trick worked for meh..
I don't have any mi account in my device. How can I unlock the bootloader?

Hello, you fixed the problem? i lost the imeis but restore it with a QCN Backup, but i dont have signal... thanks for your help
i find the fix: thanks to tommyb2 in Lenovo english forum for the tip
As it looks like you damaged your qcn you need a new one !
is your WiFi working ??
if not try this first !
enter Fastboot
then
Fastboot erase persist
Fastboot flash persist persist.img
(your WiFi should be back)
try
Fastboot erase Modem
then
Fastboot flash Modem non-hlos.img
After that Fastboot reboot !
maybe also your imei ?!
if not get a QCN, enter Diag mode (see page 12-13)
and replace it with a new one !
with an imei editor you can put in your imei
The Files you found in your current ROM !
Non-hlos.bin has to be renamed to.img

Hello, I also deleted imei info by mistake, can you provide with a dummy lenovo z6 pro QCN file, so I can restore mine? Thank you
Is all lost?
It's been a few days and no replays, let me guess I can trow the phone away ? since there is no QCN file available for restoring
Don't throw away. Get a sain QCN file, put your emei in it and flash back.

I leave you mine with a random imei, change it to yours and tell me if works (change the extension to QCN)
something happened
Thank you for the qcn file, it did help but not nearly enough.
Any other ideas on how to fix this ? I'm giving up on this 'cuz it seems so ...... chinese .
Edit1: Do I need to change MEID or any other unique ids ?

mied, is part of the imei... not neccesary to modify...
now, do this:
enter Fastboot
then
Fastboot erase persist
Fastboot flash persist persist.img
Fastboot erase Modem
Fastboot flash Modem non-hlos.img
Fastboot reboot
I'm sorry it took so long to respond but I was on a trip.
It works, I've got my signal back, but sometimes when I start a conversation the other person hears bad, like when you speak underwater. It doesn't happen when I put my headphones(not yet anyway),
but I guess this will be solved in the future updates.
Thank you very much :victory: :good:
Issue persist after upgrading
Hey....again
After upgrading to 11.0.325ST -> from This post.
I lost the signal again.
Doing "fastboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot erase modem
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.img

Any Idea on how to get back the signal ?
Thank you,

Signal Lost
Hello,
No, I don't, the only QCN file I have is the one you gave me and modified with my IMEI.
As a note that QCN file give a warning that my model no. doesn't match when restoring, but it works on stock ROW rom.
Thank you,

Hi, if you are on ROW, update through OTA to 11.0.350. Many Z6 owners have reported it fixed connexion issues. It might help you as well!

Hello,
Sometimes i can;t because phone is rooted, sometimes when i get OTA update I can't install because after i press "update" it resets to changelog.
Also when I try to update through .ZIP file it fails and I lose signal.
Zip file name : L78051_ROW_SECURE_USER_Q00745.01_P_ROW_11.0.284_ST_190810_TO_L78051_ROW_SECURE_USER_Q00745.01_P_ROW_11.0.325_ST_190918 (renamed to update.zip)
Thank you,
One way or another, you need to find a way to update your phone to latest ROW rom which is 11.0.350.
Try unrooting and flashing back stock recovery. Otherwise find a full rom file that can be flashed with fastboot.
My issue is not with the version. My issue is with qcn file for my signal.
Most likely I will need a new dummy QCN file from Lenovo z6 pro from latest ROW rom version, change the dummy imei to my imei and restore.
Most likely x-geo will have a good idea of what I must do, 'cuz last time he solved my signal issue. If you have Lenovo z6 pro with latest rom you can back up your QCN file set a dummy
imei and send it over and I'll try and/ restore my phone, that will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Liste, updating to 11.0.350 solved communication issue of many users !!!
May be it resets proper QCN partition or whatever. Anyway there is no point in staying with earlier ROW version they are crap !
Hi, last night mi friend tried to restore his Redmi Note 7 (lavender) back to MIUI using MiFlash, he was coming from a custom ROM, he ran onto some problems and interrupted the flashing process. The phone is stuck in a bootloop, has the booloader locked and can only access to fastboot and Redmi-Recovery.
We have tried almost everything with no success, mostly because the bootloader is locked, the Mi Flash Unlock tool didn't work, flashing with Mi Flash also didn't work and trying to manually flash the firmware did nothing. Right now we're planning on following a guide you can find in XDA's Redmi Note 7 forums, we're going to open the back of the phone, connect the test-points and proceed with the flashing, but we wanted to know if someone knows one of two things, if not both:
a) This method does work
or
b) There is a better method.
A few extra things:
Redmi-Recovery has "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" written in red. We're using the GLOBAL firmware for this process, the phone is supposed to work with this version, it is the version he bought.
Try chinese firmware or rom it may work
You have probably solved this issue already but ill still type it here for others
To get the official ROM for the correct phone model you have to go here
Xiaomi Community
c.mi.com
and find the model you want
Its a zip file
For the flashing process:
REQUIREMENTS : Twrp, pc with fastboot & adb, a usb cable
1) flash twrp as recovery, if you dont know how XDA has you covered
How to install TWRP recovery on Android smartphones
Installing TWRP on an Android device is the first step towards custom development.
www.xda-developers.com
2) download the ROM in pc and transfer it in the phone in a folder of /sdcard or the internal storage (remember it!)
While you are in Twrp the device in essentially powered up and detected by a pc
3) In twrp go to install
select the file you put the ROM.zip in
and swipe the bar in he bottom to confirm the flash
Wait for the terminal to write "...Done"
4) Reboot to system
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to prep my phone in readiness to flash a custom rom and got this far:
Ensured latest firmware is installed
Unlock bootloader
ADB and Fastboot prep
Flash and boot twrp-3.5.2-andromeda.img
Full backup taken in TWRP
However, whist trying to use ADB sideload to move the amaneded vbmeta.img file onto my phone it glitched out. Now my phone will go into Fastboot (when pressing 'volume down' button and 'power' button), or if I don't intervene the Mi-Recovery 3.0 screen.
When in Fastboot the command "adb device" on my PC in command prompt no longer works:
Before:
List of devices attached
7586a90b device
After:
List of devices attached
So I can't flash anything to it via ADB.
If I choose reboot in Mi-Recovery 3.0 the phone restarts and I just get stuck in a loop.
Can anyone provide some advice on what I can do next to try and recover my device, please?
Cheers,
fitzy-boy

Hi sorry to bother you but its years since i have been on here and not even sure if im posting in the right place so let me apologise just in case, i have a similar problem my phone glitched Mi Mix 3 5g, and i had to do a factory reset then came the moment when it asked to activate this device with password could not remember password went into Mi Account and changed password no luck tried this 3 times with no luck, then someone told me to delete the Mi account and start again which i did and to be honest this has massively complicated the issue, i got in touch with Xiaomi and told them what had happened sent them imei number proof of purchase, and photos of activation screen , and to be honest its like talking to a brick wall all they keep telling me is change the password on the Mi account done it numerous times to no avail ,but my new account is not associated with this phone its the deleted account that is associated with this i would be most grateful for any advice as this phone is in immaculate condition thanks in advance....
