Removing USB connection while flashing

Hi all,
I have a serious problem with my G2 which I could not solve: I used the new LG Flash Tool 2014 with stock KDZ file, everything was going just fine till I received an error message that LG server is not available, I disconnected the USB cable by mistake from my G2 and afterward I saw that it was in the middle of flashing process (12% was completed). I turned it off and tried to reach download mode again and nothing!, I'm receiving the "LG" logo and nothing- the screen goes black (it is still on).
I tried also to connect my phone to the computer- I received a list of 13 "new" local disks "H" to "T", only "H" disk is available and it's showing "image" folder with list of files.
I cannot reach "download mode", nothing is working!
I hope this is not the end for my G2..
please help me
Thank you so much!

If you could receive all those hard disks then you could maybe fix it with linux/ubuntu if you have it. Search for guides to cOpy the neccesary stuff bacK like the bootloader. I can't really help you atm as i am too sleepy.

Thank you for your reply. I found this on the sticky threads: "[FIX] NO Recovery mode, No download mode, after OTA on rooted LG G2".
I installed ubuntu and followed the instructions. when I type the following: "gdisk -l /dev/sde" I receive an error message:
"GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.5.1
NOTE: Write test failed with error number 13. It will be impossible to save
changes to this disk's partition table!
Problem opening /dev/sde for reading! Error is 13
You must run this program as root or use sudo!"
My device is not rooted, is this the problem?
Please help me!!
Thanks

@NNCa It says you need to run the program as root on ubuntu.
Just use sudo in front of the commands.
You need to type once your password to use sudo, you can't see the password if you enter it for safety I guess but just click enter after you typed ykur password.

I succeeded to push all the files according to this thread, however I do not see the TWRP menu. I have just constant "LG" logo on screen.
Do I miss something?

Hi,
I powered off my phone by pressing volume down + power for a while ("LG" logo blinked once and phone was fully powered off).
I pushed volume down + power till I saw the LG logo, released it, and pushed again- and finally I reached the Factory Hard Reset screen. I have pushed 3 times the power, and I have got "Factory reset processing..." and nothing is appeared, even when I'm pushing several times on power again.
I guess this is the end of my G2 :crying:
Thank you all for your support, this is an excellent forum!:good::good:

Nope it isn't the end try to install the recovery again or try to push the custom twrp recovery again to the right partition! Dont give up that fast when i hear your things then its still fixable! you already got the factory reset processing so try to Push the Recovery again and search for an guide about recovery maybe Then you would probably get your device fixed.
Just read my things about simplicity so think easy and you can fix it. AND STAY POSITIVE You will repair your phone today :good:

Did you already installed the LG drivers? and checked in device manager or there is like any change when you connect and disconnect your phone?

Yes, I checked it- no response during connecting/disconnecting the device..
Maybe I did a mistake when trying to push those image files.. I guess there is nothing I can do to fix my phone..
Do you have any other suggestions?

Can someone please help me. How can I get to the LG device- Is there another software I can use to flash files into this device?
Thanks

Sorry for late reaction but i needed to think of something. Did you tryed to use another cable? Did you tryed to do it on another pc? Did you tryed to maybe install LG PC suite and see if it gets recognized? If you have the PC Suite you may need to turn it off in the LG flashtool idk. Can you tell us more like which windows you have?

Hi,
I tried all you suggested, however my devide is not recognized. I tried to use the LG PC Suite and to flash by IMEI, however it is still saying that no device was connected.. I checked windows device manager, and nothing changed there.
There is any chnage I can see my connected device? use some tool or another software?
Thank you again for your patience and help!

Hi, sorry to say but you have unfortunately completely hardbricked your device. It happened to me too however I was able to get it replaced under warranty at no extra cost.
What happened was that when your phone was still detected by linux, you had a chance to recover by flashing the correct partitions to gain access to download mode and from there, flash a KDZ to go back to complete stock. However, the files you used were probably incompatible with your variant which has now corrupted your bootloader sequence. I suggest you read this reply by fizzy177 as well as the rest of the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51522304&postcount=118
So right now, you cannot do anything as you have already found out, no computer will recognise that your phone is plugged in. Your phone fails to boot when you try enter the download mode and it just freezes on the splash screen which looks like this: http://www.lg-phones.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/image2.png
What's meant to happen is your phone should load past that initial splash screen into this http://www.androiddunya.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/LG-G2-DownloadMode.jpg which accepts KDZ flashing and warns the device has been rooted.
So it's a blessing that your phone cannot boot as LG cannot find out you have voided warranty and you will be able to get a replacement free of charge.

Issue was solved- device was fixed under warranty
Hi,
I just want to update you all that my device was fixed under warranty! (motherboard replacement)
Thank you all for help and great support, this is a great forum with great community :good::good:

Hello
From past 2 weeks i am wondering on internet for a solution . Hours and hours of surfing and articles but still
Hope some one solve this issue.
Okay. First i m using LG G2 F320 K update to lollipop . Non rooted. It was working fine . I can transfer files in MTP .
But about a month ago i get an update for my phone . And after some days i need to transfer some files to my phone , i wonder when i connected my phone to computer nothing happened . No notification on mobile for changing PTP MTP option . Also nothing happened in Computer device manager..
From that day i am unable to connect my phone with windows 10. It always charging mobile.
I uninstalled all drivers in device manager and installed from LG website. I updates windows N and NK MTP update from windows for windows 10.
I changed different data cables and different computers and different ports . All stuff i can do. Still no luck.
When ever i plug USB data cable it always put my Mobile on Charging . No notification on Mobile. Also i go in setting > storage> and there is no option in upper right corner to select USB PC connection .
I am in developer mode and debugging mode is on also. Also USB tethering option is Disabled .
Kindly some one help me regarding this.
LG G2 F320K updated to stock Koren lollipop 5.0.1 . Non root.( i updated lollipop in April 2015)
Issue i am facing is no notification for Charging/ MTP/PTP Usb Debugging on mobile notice bar when i attach my phone using USB cord with computer. Also in computer device manager nothing happen. Even i checked on windows 10 , 8.1, 8, 7 .
I remember it was working like charm 4 weeks before I can change MTP PTP or Charge only mode by selecting notification when i attach it to my laptop. I can transfer files can use LG PC suit .
Then i received an software update like 40 mb and i updated my mobile. That i remembered.
After that 2 weeks before i need to transfer some books from laptop to my mobile. When i plugged my device there no notification to select MTP mode . Also there is nothing happened in my windows 10. I looked in task manager. No yellow icon in computer task manager for driver thing.
Laptop is just silent and mobile is just on charging .
Then i go to setting in LG and looked for USB PC connection settings. I wonder there is nothing . Settings > storage > 3 dot in upper right corner.. it suppose to be there . But here is no 3 dot in storage. Then i looked into share and networks in android setting and i found that USB tethering. But its faded mean it is disabled and i am unable to use this feature also.
I tried on different computers different cables , original, but nothing. Always when i plug usb mobile went on charging and in all computers nothing happen in device manager.
USB debugging is on.. I factory reset device 2 times. but useless. Also i uninstall all drivers from my laptop and then reinstall drivers from LG website also i tried google drivers , ABD, different ports. Nothing nothing happen.
Also now if i try put mobile on download mode by turning device off and then push + vol button and then put cord in mobile . No download mode also it went on charging. Well charging from laptop or from charger is okay.
Hope i explain all.

GUIDE: Flash Xiaomi Mi 5S from Chinese ROM to Global Rom WITHOUT UNLOCKING

Many people like me did buy its Xiaomi Mi 5S from Chine wich official Chinese ROM. The problem of this ROM is that unless you are Chinese you dont really enjoy it. But now since the official Global ROM was released all was supposed to be saved and beautiful. Except you could not flash it using the built-in flashing (update) tool of the ROM it just would not recognize it as valid and thats that.
First and most recognized solution you would find is Unlock bootloader and flash it via fastboot (MiFlash windows app). In order to unlock a Xiaomi you have to Apply for unlock and give them specific reason to grant you your wish (pretty lame). Than after unlock it will work. It takes them less then 10 days (official Xiaomi), if not you should write on their forum. Not sure if anyone did not get it, but its still stupid.
There used to be option to do this using EDL mode (or Download mode), but there is no EDL in Mi 5s any more, so no luck here either.
So here is option number two that will always work without unlocking bootloader. It will even work with bricked phones. It is called Deep Flash. This option works only with Qualcom machines (f.e. Snapdragon) and what it does is, it connects your smartphone to your computer via one of COM ports using the Qualcom drivers. Dont ask me how exactly, I dont know, dont care. It just works The whole point of this method is the Deep Flash Cable, you need it and you either make it yourself (real easy) od buy one on Aliexpress (easier, but you have to wait long).
Here is video with the procedure of deep flashing: https://youtu.be/tdk0d2Zrm9w
Here is an OK website with the whole procedure including how to make Deep Flash cable: http://www.stupdroid.com/2016/10/make-xiaomi-deep-flash-cable-and.html
Here is link to the official FASTBOOT Global ROM: http://en.miui.com/thread-454687-1-1.html
Here is link to MiFlash tool: http://en.miui.com/thread-345974-1-1.html - I beleive the new version already has Qualcom drivers included.
If windows was making you trouble and your Qualcom driver will not install here is why: http://en.miui.com/thread-237673-1-1.html
I also attach pictures of my cable and a schematic of what you are actually doing. It is really a simple thing to do. It took me like 20 minutes. No special skills required, and I used only sharp knife, did not even have a razer. I used some random cable, not genuine Xiaomi cable as the guide says. I used non copper cables to connect B and G (I canibalized some other old USB cable).
IMPORTANT NOTE, keep with the flash procedure exactly as it says, or you will get errors ("cannot receive hello packet") when flashing like I did.
1. MiFlash is not running on your PC, Your phone is turned OFF, The two cables (B and G) are connected together, Your Device Manager is ON
2. You connect the Deep Flash cable to your PC use USB 2.0 port (USB 3.0+ are reported not to work)
3. You connect the Deep Flash cable to your Mi5S
4. Wait for 10 seconds. (just count to 13 or something) - apparently this may save you from the "hello packet" error
5. You disconnect the two cables (B and G) - in Device Manager you will see something like Qualcom HS-USB Diagnostic 9008 - keep cables disconnected
6. Only now you launch MiFlash by going to C:\XiaoMi\XiaoMiFlash and Right-clicking on XiaoMiFlash.exe and Run as Administrator
7. In MiFlash tool Press Refresh button - you will see your phone on one COM port
8. Browse to your Global Rom (f.e. capricorn_global_images_V8.0.3.0.MAGMIDI_20161222.0000.00_6.0_global) under this folder you will see folder named image
9. Press Refresh one more time
10. Press Flash and have a coffe (took mine 5 minutes)
11. After you see nice green success you turn off MiFlash
12. Disconnect the cable from phone
13. Boot the phone - dont panic first boot is very long
There ya go. You are now on Xiaomi Mi5S with Global ROM with still locked bootloader. This guide should work with Mi5S Plus, but I did it on my Mi5S only.
Special thanx to XN Logos and his post about unbricking. This one is literarly the same method. But I myself ran around that post 10 times when searching for solution to my problem and never knew this in fact is solution to my problem aswell :silly:
Thanx to awaaas for mentioning the disclaimer about USB 3.0 ports.
Thanx to cerietke for mentioning the 10 second pause in step 4.

Great guide! Unfortunately I have unlocked my device to change to global rom. Hopefully it will benefit other. UP!

I tried following these instructions but have ran into one problem which I managed to solve. In case MiFlash shows an error "cannot receive hello packet" you have to make sure adb driver is installed. More about this is written in this topic: en.miui.com/thread-299790-1-1.html
You can make a backup with built in MIUI app, then copy it to your pc and restore after flashing.
Now I can enjoy a ROM without crappy chinese apps and all notifications are working from the beginning.

Are there any advantages of deep flash method over standard with unlocked bootloader?

Well you do not have to unlock the bootloader for once. But other than that, no, there are none. But with Xiaomi you have to be approved for unlock case by case and it takes them approx 3 days. But it is just flashing. ROM is the same.

i try this prozedre with help by simply silver paper. what should i say, this also works. xdddd
neverless, i still wait for the "deep flash" cable from aliexpress.
best regards

I tried everything, with the lots of guides, I made my own deep flash cable, I succeeded in putting my mi 5s Plus into deep flash mode but did not succeeded in flashing the Rom.
Every time there is the error message from the Mi flasher cannot receive hello packet etc. Then I applied for unlock boot loader officially. I got SMS with the unlocking permission in 15 minutes. After unlocking boot loader, I put my phone into fast boot mode and flashed fast boot Rom and everything is fine. No error ..nothing. So, I do not want to disappoint anybody, but this method did not worked for me.

Just want to add a note, this method would not work if you use USB 3.0+ port (or USB 2.0 behind USB 3.0 hub) such as on a intel's skylake/kabylake-based machine.
Maybe that's your problem @richie16171?

Good point from awaas I did not know that. Try that too.
But I was getting the same error as you. What you need to do is follow my instructions religiously. It made difference to me when I skipped some point or did something parallel. Do exactly as my guide says. Disconnect and turn everything off and start from point one exactly like the guide says.
I remember it was different when I had flashing tool open before and after some point. So go exactly as the guide and you should be fine

I did exactly what you said 100%. As I said not once.., with driver signature off and on. I did not had any driver problem. It was showing me the port com16.
I think that is not the right port for flashing.

Well man, than this is the end of me :-/ I know I was getting this error when I had MiFlash turned on before I connected my phone to the PC . That gave me same error. But when it was off before and after deep flashmode a opened it up as admin (from the directory, not Start) it worked for me just fine.

Does anyone know if this works in 8.2? When I plug cable in it starts charging..

Hey,
I just tried to reflash mine and just like you said I was getting all the errors. No way to fix it But then I uninstalled (also deleted every single file) the MiFlash tool and after installing it again it worked Sooo probably there is some log file or some setting or I dont know what that is doing trouble.

@ Seehank., Thank you so much, Maybe that is the problem... otherwise so many people succeeded doing this, Only I failed.
Now no point. I already unlocked boot loader and flashed the firmware. And that also I flashed in fast boot mode.
Now I have one more Mi note3 pro. And it is the used phone. Someone already unlocked boot loader. That is why or for some reason I was not getting OTA update. Hence the boot loader is unlocked, and I tried to flash with the fast boot mode.. No.. I am getting error. In flash tool it is not showing Com Port..instead some serial number. So I flashed that in EDL mode and success. After that now I am getting OTA update.

Hope this may help others with the hello packet issue.
I was following your guide, but I was going through pretty quickly, which turned out to be relevant. I did some searching on the issue and discovered a post on en.miui.com that suggested a solution (post 32 in the "[Help]-cannot receive hello packet,MiFlash is trying to reset status" topic; as a new user I cannot post outside links). Apparently you'd need to wait at least 10 seconds between step 3 and 4. As I also did a full reboot of the phone without the cable attached that may have also been the solution. I did not further test as I got it working.

Hi guys, have locked phone on purchase, thought I might revive it with above methode but...no way I coulkd install quallcomn drivers, tried (i think) everything, phone gets into charging mode, nothing happens in Device manager...

I will add this to the guide. It can not harm anyone So between my guide and steps 3 and 4 wait 10+ seconds.

Hi mate, i followed your guide, everything works till the very last point, when i boot my phone (after the success message in the MiFlash), 2 strange things happen:
1) first time i press "power" button it wont start, i press a second time and it starts
2) the MI logo starts blink every x minutes, but actually is not going forward (still stuck on MI logo after more than 10 mins waiting)
can you help me somehow? Thanks

I'm trying to unbrick my x720 by QFIL but my pc won't recognize Qualcomm 9008 port

I dont have hardware problems. I flashed the Pixel Experience rom in february with sucess but I didnt like it. It had too much battery drain. Then I wanned to try some other rom like AICP. But in the process of flashing something went wrong. I wasnt able to flash it, always gave me the error 7. Then it simply died. I was rebooting TWRP mode and it went dead. Now just vibrates when I try to turn on. I tried the QFIL process (both volumes + power) but I dont even know. How can we know that it in qfil mode? My pc wont recognize anything. Not in Flash One, Not in QPST, nothing. Am I doing something wrong? The phone vibrates so its charged. I installed the Qualcomm drivers properly, I thing, eventhow it doesnt appear the qualcomm 9008 port in the device manager. Its suppose to appear before the phone is pluged right? Thank you for the reply.

I've no idea how to help you... Sorry.

Instead of creating a new post why not just read the enormous unbrick forums that exists and have proven steps. Many, Many phones have been debricked using those steps.
Hint, read the last pages for updated links to the software tools needed.
Next, I just found this cable which will help immensely with unbricking your device: https://www.amazon.com/GPG-EDL-Cabl...r1&keywords=edl+cable+for+wall+qualcomm+usb+c

Completely dead, just vibrates when I press power and yes, I sometimes have the red light, sometimes flashing, sometimes stable.

I dont have hardware problems. I flashed the Pixel Experience rom in february with sucess but I didnt like it. It had too much battery drain. Then I wanned to try some other rom like AICP. But in the process of flashing something went wrong. I wasnt able to flash it, always gave me the error 7. Then it simply died. I was rebooting TWRP mode and it went dead. Now just vibrates when I try to turn on. I tried the QFIL process (both volumes + power) but I dont even know. How can we know that it in qfil mode? My pc wont recognize anything. Not in Flash One, Not in QPST, nothing. Am I doing something wrong? The phone vibrates so its charged. I installed the Qualcomm drivers properly, I thing, eventhow it doesnt appear the qualcomm 9008 port in the device manager. Its suppose to appear before the phone is pluged right? Thank you for the reply.

Your phone is probably fixable.
Based on what you stated above, it seems that you downloaded and attempted to install the wrong version of TWRP and now your phone has no recovery at all.
Here is partial instructions I posted in the unbricking forum : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76100899&postcount=121
Use those instructions along with is mentioned below. I have personally helped so many people unbrick their phone that I have lost track and this is the reason why the posts are so long and extensive. Because sometimes what works for one person does not work for the next. So I have essentially have taken everyone's great advice and updated the links, made the instructions steps a little more concise and easier to read, fixed some incorrect steps or added the needed skipped steps. Plus added my own research into what I believe is now a definitive guide for unbricking the Leeco variants X720 and X727. The point of not reposting the information here is to keep everything from becoming more fragmented.
Yes, it's possible that you have a hardware issue. But, its also possible that it can be fixed!
Remember that you will not see the port unless you are in EDL mode
Just press volume △ (+) and volume ▽ (–) buttons together while powering the phone on.
It should now be EDL mode. If you cannot get into EDO mode, you cannot do anything else.
If you get an error, press and hold the power button while at the same time hold vol up + and down simultaneously plug the usb cord into the back of the computer while holding the buttons.
Yes, It's a pain and this is why the deep flash cable is handy....it's a special cable ( so your extra cables will do nothing to help you) The deep flash cable will automatically put your phone into EDL mode and allow you to use Flash on.
Install the Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 driver: https://goo.gl/9E3bKq or the from links provided in the unbrick forum.
There are multiple versions or Qfil, some have issues. I posted the correct one that works.
FOR anything else go to that forum read my and everyone else's posts. Again, I keep all of my linked files are up to date, and many are located on my own drives.
You can make one of these cables. Here's a video that shows you how:
https://www.youtube.com/watch v=kSiGsYK66gM&lc=z220yhtqvwyyct21pacdp432sh2xjecek10dae1jen5w03c010c.1524884617336803
it will not be a quick fix.
There are 4 or 5 different unbricking options and it requires persistence and patience.
The good news is that your phone has a solution that may work.

So when your where flashing a rom you got error 7 and your phone went dead.
I had gotten that same error.
Error could mean two things 1) update recovery or update firmware.
My point is sounds nice like hardware issue.
These phones are known for just dieing.
Also getting into that mode you have to push power+volume+volume- at the same time.

Bricked my Xiaomi Mi A1, Stuck in EDL 9008.

Hello everybody,
First off, I hate people who don't search on google before making a post, I have been searching for 4 days and I feel that it's appropriate to ask now.
I will make 2 parts to this thread, one will be a very fast explanation of what I did and the second part will be the same but a very thorough with a step by step process of what I messed up...
TL;DR: I was tired, late in the evening I flashed for some reason a Partition table of a Mi Note 3 on my Mi A1... I am now bricked and cannot access anything, fastboot, ADB, recovery nothing! I guess my phone is in EDL mode cause when I plug it in it flashes its led. "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" Is what I see in my device manager.
What do? oh, I forgot! I cannot access anything through any combination of buttons. I am stuck here, where I am!
The full thorough explanation for people who are bothered to read fully. (Includes my excuses for making noob mistakes, might be fun to read idk.)
Young me on a Sunday evening decides to reinstall magisk but this time with twrp cause I did it without twrp (yeah yeah I know). I was left without OTA's and after uninstalling anything that had something to do with Xposed or magisk I trashed it all. and stupid me thought that maybe? maybe? just maybe deleting Dalvik Cache would help me get my OTA's back after injecting my original ROM. This is where the fun begins.
I was not wanting to go through reinstalling magisk and all that to wipe the Dalvik Cache, I thought that that was my mission now, so I decided to search for methods that don't require root or being in the system, so some kind of fastboot or ADB command or something idk. I tried installing twrp and without my understanding that failed miserably and then I read some post where someone said that they flashed a mi note 3 partition table on their phone and something worked. Being the naïve little boii that I am, let's do that hey? Bam! bricked! I read somewhere I can open the phone and remove the battery and not having the tools is a mess, having to ask friends for some and voiding my warranty for something that probably won't work and after reading I understood that I'm in "EDL 9008 recovery" or something like that. I cannot boot into anything, I only have EDL 9008 to work with. I tried using Xiaomi's flasher tool and it would never respond to the initial hello packet (duuhh! I can't use ADB nor fastboot).
I know that this was stupid, I know! I learnt my lesson. If there is nothing we can do can I at least somehow get my internal storage data back? I deleted the backups from google drive for a short amount of time but randomly 5hrs prior to this sad story. All I have safe are now my contacts.
I hope you guys have some ideas! I feel like I'm fked but maybe with EDL 9008, there is a little glimmer of light?
P.S. If you guys somehow get me into fastboot I can flash a correct partition table back. My PC has all drivers so I can do this!
Sincerely, Micheal.

There is a way although i did tried it yet.
First of all sorry for my English.
Download latest MiFlash tool and qualcomm driver, this package contain both but not latest MiFlash so you should download lastest version from official site.
https://www.fshare.vn/file/H3R8M6OMRP2R
Download lastest stock rom.
You will need a good USB type C cable, dont use the one come with phone because you dont want to cut it in half.
Yes, that exactly what i said. Cut it in half, there are 4 small wire (or maybe 5 with type C?), remove it outer plastic and reconnect them.
Join the green and black cable, like you short circuit them, then plug your phone into PC with that cable without release green and black, wait for 5 sec then seperate them, the green and black.
Check device manager on your PC, you should hear device connect sound and qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader show up under Ports.
Open MiFlash and try to flash it.
You may want to check this video, although it in Vietnamese but you should understand the usb cable part.

Hi, interesting situation. What about following this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html ?
Its for some other phone, but try instaliing some drivers and you may get some signal of life.

Very interesting
I have thought about doing this as I had an old type-c lying around that came with the phone (I use a beautiful cable I bought off amazon) and saw this method to flash but never tried it..
I'll give it a go thanks.
btw. Your English is good I understood everything
The second comment from TrueMS:
I already have all drivers installed and in the long post I said that I have a flashing led that indicates that i'm in EDL 9008, the phone isn't dead but it won't turn on with any driver

Yes, thats what I meant. Well, I dont know how to help you, wish you luck. I remember how I flashed wrong ROM for my S3 Mini and it was completly trashed, I'm glad that Xiaomi gives us at least some signs of life and hope.
And btw. I would rather charge the phone somehow - I hope it charges even in EDL mode, because if your phone dies while flashing with MiFlash, things can be even worse.
EDIT: I also found this guide, you can try it out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-unbrick-via-external-sdcard-qfil-t3748946

Okay so now a major reply!
I have stated in the OP that I am already in EDL, there is no need for cutting the cable or installing any driver, I am in EDL 9008 I don't need to "try to get there" as i'm already there.
These guides failed miserably as I have already tried them, my phone "doesn't receive a hello packet" from my phone, as I can't use adb or fastboot, or recovery.
I'll download linux and give that usb method a go then

Wish you luck:

Something that is never mentioned is to disable driver enforcement, this time hello packet was successfully recieved and flashed... Hold your happiness, cause now EDL no longer works so I can't see it in any com port and i'm certainly still in edl cause of the flashing led. Only difference I see is that now the led flashes when I hold the power button??? hmmmmmmm
To clarify:
Can't boot
Device was flashed successfully
Com port on pc can no longer see phone even after reboot
adb still don't work (proves again i'm in edl)
I'm in an even stickier situation now, can't access with my pc hmmmm..

So did you flash official stock ROM? Because I dont understand why doesnt it work... btw. when you flashed the ROM, did you lock bootloader?
Cant be battery dead?

If you are on "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" you will be able to flash stock fastboot firmware. Flash it using MiflashTool. Normally Miflashtool will recognized it as COMXX, where XX is the number of the port.

It's the official rom for the march ota.
The phone works, apparently it was encrypting everything... and now as I interrupted it, the encrypting failed and I lost all my data.....
Phone works but could have been better.
Before I reset the phone to factory, as i cannot use it yet, is there any way to get anything personal back? or is it gone gone and just factory reset?
What I see after boot, the phone resets every minute
https://drive.google.com/file/d/13sARZzlf3vJZK6Mx4hil6lsXRUl7-r-K/view?usp=sharing
The button that is hard to see says factory reset

Good job mate, so that SD card method worked with Linux? Be happy that your phone is alive.
EDIT: Maybe consider locking bootloader? Try it if youre on official stock.
EDIT 2: By flashing that ROM I guess you lost all data, but you can try to boot in TWRP without installing it and browse in file manager to see, if there is any data.

No... I was going to do that tomorrow but I decided to disable driver signature enforcement which worked. This should be written everywhere if it's this important..
Is there still a way to get my internal data back? Question as well, in recovery "mounting" the data partition will that let me get everything back "mounting" the drive to the pc? or do i not understand what mounting is.

As I said, you can try it, but when I flashed my Nougat stock ROM, i lost all the data. Or you can boot into TWRP and connect with USB to your computer to see the data in phone.

Good that your phone is working now, as for the data, i once forgot to remove encrypt before flash custom rom, but when enter TWRP it will ask for old password to decrypt. Just enter your old pass then connect to PC, or use TWRP file explorer to copy your data to sdcard

None of the passwords I used worked.. I just factory reset it, thanks alot everybody. And now I will be more careful, don't flash anything weird. And backup!
I understood why I can't get the data back, if android fails at the encryption it jsut deletes everything!

My fone also in 9008 please can you guide me
I did the same what you have and it's on 9008 my flashing is successful but still my fone is not opening help me

Bricked Mi A1 - Qualcom HS-USB Diagnostics 900E

Hi guys
At first - I tried a method given on this forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/phone-goes-to-qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-t3757867
This method doesn't work for me, because after disconnect my PC doesn't recognize my phone.
Phone is in Qualcom HS-USB Diagnostics 900E mode after OTA update (Mi A1 April Update) - strange
So guys... I know there are some magicians who can do almost everything.. Any ideas what to do?

Does MiFlash recognize your phone? If not, try instaling ADB drivers nd disable driver enforcment,

To kick device out of diagnostic mode and into QDLoader you will need either:
1) A "deep flash" cable
2) Take the phone apart and bridge test points
There are guides online for both, you can Google. You can make deep flash cable yourself fairly easily with a spare USB cable. Testpoint location is found easily via Google and can be bridged with tweezers or small flat-head screwdriver.
I did NOT have success with deep flash cable myself, I had to use testpoint method (and sadly broke my LCD in the process). The deep flash issue might of been because I was in Windows 10 x64 or on a USB3 port. If you do go that route and can't get it working, try with a Windows 7 x86 VM and USB2 passthrough mode before last resort of taking device apart.

Hold power button for 20 sec then volume down and fastboot will apear

1. install all necessary drivers (adb, qualcomm's HS-USB Diagnostics 900E, xiaomi flash tool)
2. use test point method as suggested by @CosmicDan - lots of tutorial on web on how to do this. Carefully read this before actually attempting it.
3. When you successfully do the test point method you will hear the device recognized sound on your computer
4. when you hear it, open miflashtool and your device should show up in it.
5. if not, reboot your PC. You should reboot your PC after installing all the drivers. See #1. (reboot required)
6. Once you successfully see your device on miflashtool, you can flash the fastboot rom of your choice.
7. (you might get stuck on "Can't receive hello packet" dialogue which will prevent your device from flashing), in that case change the USB port, possibly to USB 2.0 and try the test point flash method again to get detected and try flashing again.
8. Test point method should be done everytime you disconnect the USB from your phone and computer, hopefully you only need to do it twice.
9. Sadly for me, I am still unable to flash stock roms with this method, my problem is kind of unique, after flashing it shows me "Your phone is destroyed, press power to turn off" dialogue. lmao
10. if you get the same message then you dun goof'd. Hopefully yours will successfully flash.
Oh and only one version of fastboot ROM actually revives the phone, other fastboot roms actually puts it to coma (vibrating every one second, no display, no nothing). Only one fastboot ROM allows me to go to fastboot and flash recoveries. But if I flash any ROM (stock or custom) it kills the phone again and I have to repeat the given method and try again with another rom. I think the phone is effectively dead. What a **** phone! lol

Did you do factory flash mode? That's the only one that can recovery it, the other scripts won't flash everything.
Note that because you didn't backup partitions you will also wipe the IMEI, or so I've read (I backed up my whole device via emmcdl before brick so I was able to recover fine without miflash)

Actually I think I got scammed. It is Mi5x sold as MiA1. ****ing chinks! Anyway, I managed to install (Tiffany) on it and now it is booting to boot logo and bootlooping. I can get to fastboot and default (MIUI's) recovery by pressing button combos. But OEM is locked now so I cannot flash TWRP or other ROMs in it. I will have to EDL flash back to that MIA1 ROM to get it unlocked from fastboot. Otherwise MIUI unlocker asks me to link my miui account to this phone by going to settings, which I can't do because it is not booting up.
funny situation.
