What to do when you're stuck in EDL-Mode (black screen = no fastboot - no recovery) - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Probably you have the Anti-Rollback activated and tried to flash another ROM. After a successful installation your phone just went dead.
Here's how you could fix it (or how I fixed it):
1. Windows PC with MiFlash Beta (!) tool
2. Download a Xiaomi Fastboot Rom (ends with *.tgz)
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.8.30/nitrogen_images_8.8.30_20180830.0000.00_8.1_cn_66dfc4bb58.tgz
--> Beta (MIUI 10 8.8.30) (ANTI ROLL-BACK ACTIVATED!!!)
3. extract Rom to your PC
4. start MiFlash Beta tool and point to the extracted folder
5. press Vol+ & Vol- & Power on your MiMax3 for 10 seconds and connect it to your PC while holding the buttons another second after plugging it in
6. press refresh button on MiFlash tool
7. if your drivers are installed correct, your phone should be visible on COM-Port XXX
8. press flash and hopefully it will be flashed
9. if not: try several times
10. wait until it boots to the welcome screen (around 5 mins)
now your phone should be useable again.
If you want Treble-Rom to be installed, then go on:
11. turn phone off --> go into fastboot mode (Vol- & Power) --> install TWRP --> boot into TWRP
12. wipe date = yes --> reboot TWRP
13. make yourself a MiRom at https://mi-globe.com/rom-builder-features/?codename=nitrogen&img=mimax3.png&realname=Mi+Max+3
--> I used 8.8.30 version, and choose "advanced settings"--> set Magisk for root and build your zip
14. flash it through TWRP
15. reboot --> you will end up in a bootloop, but thats okay
16. go back to TWRP: swipe factory reset
17. install treble.img + gapps + Magisk and reboot and you're all good

thanks a lot! but i m in a different situation now!
i have baught the device from local store with so called fake rom. and as per some instruction found at different forums i have successfully flashed china developper rom, and than flashed again eu rom. the version was miui 10 8.8.30. some how, i was trying to install a gcam mod mistakenly wich was originally for mi a1, and the mobile suddenly stuck on "the system has been destroyed!" mode. i can eventually come to fastboot mode from this screen, but cannot flash rom, as it says now, it is locked. dont have the right to erase. so, i tried miflash unlock with my mi account, but it says current account is not bound to this device. even, i can't go to edl, so what is happening now, i m totally nobis here.
can some one help me. please? how can i achive unlock in this situation or how could i get rid of this and reboot to system?

So there is a way to recover the phone if you brick if from installing a firmware after having anti-rollback?

yes, but the anti-rollback will be still activated. You can flash the China Roms or a treble ROM as described. If you try to flash the EU Rom you will boot into the EDL mode without any warnings.

I need help.
The post in #1 doesnt work for me.

The method does work!
You need to re-activate the EDL mode in a split second of accuracy and timing by luck!
Keep trying! Your finger has got to very very fast to hit the "Flash" in MiFlash tool in relation to the process of entering he EDL mode!
I was on China Beta 8.8.30 (ARB) and I tried miflashtool to China Stable 9.6.11.0 (Non-ARB) and my phone bricked with blank screen. Could not power on at all, and not even into the Fastboot mode.
You have to miflashtool to ARB version of China Stable 9.6.12.0 to be able to success.

Hi,
I see the com port.
It begin to flash, put then the Error: Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication.

I see. No problem.
In that case. Don't use 9.6.11.0 to miflash.
Please use the 9.6.7.0 and retry to miflash again.
9.6.7.0 should work.

I think 9.6.12 is the wright rom.
Why now 9.6.7.0.
Have you i link for me for this rom.
Is 9.6.7.0 without ARB.
Sorry for my bad english.

This is because you would probably get the same error massages as with 9.6.11.0 if you miflash to 9.6.12.0 ARB directly and even though some users might be able to miflash to 9.6.12.0 directly without the error massages
Therefore, Miflash using 9.6.7.0 Non-ARB first, and if you wanna update to 9.6.12.0 ARB. You can just do it via the Updater! This is the best and safest way to do it!
Grab the 9.6.7.0 now ...... I mean NOW!!!!!!!! before it is unlisted by Xiaomi for users to download as it is a damn old freaking rom!!!!!!!!!
UNLESS.... 9.6.7.0 failed as well! Then, you have to miflash to 9.6.12.0 directly as a last option and pray it works!

Your Mi account has been locked by Xiaomi! OMG!
If so, then. No one can help you except you taking a flight to China and take a Q number at China Xiaomi service centre..
No one is dare enough to share his Mi account with you because arb is hardware "coded" so to speak. . It can cause his Mi account to be locked by Xiaomi too using it on your Mi Max 3 . '(
For my similar case, my Mi account has not been locked by Xiaomi.

I had the same issue and i opened the phone and did the test point to enter to edl mode and flashed the chinese miui 10 stable rom , and now i have to wait 720 hours to unlock the bootloader to flash twrp and a global rom

So I just helped someone boot successfully to 10.0.1.0 global stable fastboot whose phone got bricked trying to flash 8.8.9 eu (maybe he had ARB but didn't know it). It was the black screen of death basically as noted here. TEST-POINT METHOD WAS NOT NEEDED.
Follow these steps:
1) Download Global Stable fastboot 10.0.1.0 from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...icial-recovery-fastboot-roms-mi-t3827503/amp/
2) Open MiFlashTool and navigate to 10.0.1.0 fastboot rom. At the bottom select 'Clean All Only' (do NOT select clean all and lock).
3) Hold power, volume up and volume down together for 10 seconds after plugging into PC. Your pc should detect your phone in EDL mode. Hit REFRESH button at the top of MiFlashTool and it will show up as COM XX or XXX for your USB connection. Try whichever USB port works. Then hit refresh. Then click Flash.
4) It should boot. If it doesn't and you get stuck on the Mi Recovery screen. Select Wipe Data. It should boot you back into the recovery again where you'll see Reboot, Wipe Data or Connect Using Mi Assistant. From here, get back to fastboot mode by holding Power and Volume Down together until you see the bunny fastboot screen.
5) Open or refresh MiFlashTool again and select 10.0.1.0 fastboot rom (it should remember from previous selection). At the bottom select 'Clean All Only' (do NOT select clean all and lock). Hit REFRESH button at the top and this time it will show your device number like normal instead of COM. Click Flash.
6) Phone will reboot on its own to Miui 10 Global login screen. Setup your phone from there.

There is no ARB on xiaomi.eu roms (except maybe 8.8.30 as omer919 stated).

The real brick solution by ARB, it works for mi max 3 too.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/fix-arb-bricked-device-qfil-t3841780
and this is the ARB in Mi MAX 3.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/how-to/rom-official-recovery-fastboot-roms-mi-t3827503

I had that one. Please charge up your Mobile for at least %100, lt will reboot.

Android 7.1.1 Doogee X5PRO

I have searched, found and tested this rom.
It is a beta but it works very well, I leave the links of the original web where all the information of download and installation is.

Just a question, I have to use the Flashtool to flash the firmware and after that the TWRP and Supersu options?
I've been using beta4 (and beta3 previously) for months and quite like them. Also, since the original factory rom is filled with adaware, isn't as up-to-date with Android's security patches and doesn't pass SafetyNet, you're gaining a lot and not losing anything switching or rooting for that matter.
Though I still prefer magisk over rooting since it's more secure and more than enough for adaway.

You can but you don't have to. I had a problem flashing beta4 and twrp at one go but booting the phone once with just beta4 and then powering off and flashing twrp and\or rooting afterwards solved that.
Btw, the dev is developing gesture modules for the kernel (built-in beta4) and an app to go with them: http://getbest.ru/kernel_gesture.htm I didn't find the feature useful enough to keep around but it works as advertised and, once again, magisk was enough.
Overall, the rom is an absolute must as far as I'm concerned and I wouldn't be using this phone if it wasn't available. It would have been nice if the dev could keepup with android's patches better but seeing how he's doing a better job than doogee and for free I can't really complain.
Do the camera and fingerprint work?
Hi. I wish to give my really thanks to the developer of this rom.
It solve my problems:
Stock rom R16:
sim card WIND (IT) poor 4G/LTE reception
sim card VODAFONE (IT) no 4G/LTE reception
(tested switching 1-2, various city zones)
This Rom:
both full 4G/LTE reception!!

Hello Maria and thanks for your experience.
What can you say to me about the fingerprint and camera functionality?
Do they work fine on this rom?

My phone (X5pro) hasn't fingerprint reader.
The camera seems to work in normal way.

P.S.: May be it depends by my phone, but sometimes touch is not reponsive; I have to push the power button ("stand-by") and push it again to have normal touch response.

The flash guide you linked is the right guide.
What exact model of phone you have?
Does the scatter and other files are in the same folder? (unzipped, you know).
Does the flashtool give any error message with the 32bit version?
Regards
M.A.
I tried both the 32bit and 64 bit versions of this rom, it's pretty good for a beta. However I had a problem with the screen going dark while using it and once the screen inverted colours randomly. Has anyone else had this problem with this rom? I'm currently using the android 6 stock rom but would love to get 7.1.1 working perfectly.
installed with SP flash tools x5pro-7.1-x32-BETA4 from a stock kernel 6.0 (R16)
with no luck. At booting snowcatPDA logo shows for a while and continuously reboots.
Flashed from ubuntu linux 16.04:
Download Only option (should I have choosen Firmware Upgrade?)
Scatter-loading File MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt (should I have choosen MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt?)
I had the bootloader locked in development options (had it to be open?)
I also had USB debugging ON
Any tips?

Hi.
Now I'm at home.
Tomorrow morning, when I'll be at office I'll write down steps by steps I did.
(home... office..., reverse of natural manner, because I do all my mobile hobbies at lunch pause; at home PC is used by others )
Hello, here I am.
The follows are the steps, more or less, that I did.
(maybe you already did some of these)
1-Start from official R16 ROM
2- Developer option
#a. Enable USB debug​#b. Enable OEM unlock​
3- Security: allow unknown origin installation
4- Unlock bootloader
#a. Connect in fastboot, from ADB command mode:​type: adb reboot-bootloader ___ (Wait 1-3 second)​type: fastboot devices ___ (verify device is detected)​#b. verify bootloader unlock status​type: fastboot getvar all ___ and you get​= warranty: yes​= unlocked: no​#c. unlock bootloader​type: fastboot oem unlock ___ and you get​-> start unlock flow​---> on screen appear:​vol UP=Yes; void warranty, clear ALL data​vol DWN=no; no unlock​Press Vol UP​#d. verify bootloader unlock status​type: fastboot getvar all ___ and you get​= warranty: no​= unlocked: yes​#e. May be phone restart​
5- shut down phone ___ AND ___ get out battery
6- Flash phone with
MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt​as per normal way (You know this , after some trying...)​
7- WITHOUT starting phone, ___ Flash TWRP with
MT6735M_TWRPx32_scatter.txt (or the 64, according to the ROM you flashed)​
9- Put battery in ___ AND___ start in TWRP recovery
#a. hold Vol Up, press ON button until appear a micro menu, release buttons​#b. choose recovery with Vol Up and confirm with Vol Down​
10- in recovery, choose wipe, and on bottom of the screen slide for factory reset
11- on TWRP main, choose reboot, power off
12- get out battery for some seconds
13- get in battery and start up (It can take a lot, may be leave the phone connected to main)
This is what I did (if I remember all the single steps...)
Try and report to us.
M.A.
Nope!, in step 9 when trying to start in TWRP recovery I get a continuous bootloop showing SnowcatPDA logo

Hummmm....
It seems won't go in recovery mode, I think.
Try this:
1- flash entire stock ROM
(may be take this ===http://www.doogee.cc/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=29=== just in case)
2- start phone normal, up to home screen (so the phone is as just brougt)
3- power off and try to enter stock Recovery
If it works (and your bootloader is unloked) then try this
Connect phone to PC in fastboot
and enter
fastboot devices (I do this each time, just in case PC don't detect phone)
fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is your TWRP
The phone should start in TWRP recovery
The fastboot boot recovery.img command
send recovery (kernel?) image to temp phone folder/ram
and boot from that.
It unaffect normal rom/recovery.
By this step, we check If your phone accept this TWRP and sort out some possible troubles.
M.A.
when doing 'fastboot boot TWRP-3.1.1-X5PROx32.img' I get:
USB transferring...
USB transmission OK
and doesn't reboot into recovery but it boots normally
since I'm doing this from stock kernel R16 I wonder whether it's 32 or 64 bits
However I've found recovery-twrp-3.2.0-git-20171204.img that boots!. But I don't have scatter file, only .img! This recovery is from Lineage 14.1, but since this custom ROM installs from TWRP there is no need of scatter file
I've found another TWRP that boots with fastboot boot img: the TWRP recovery for 6.0 in needrom. This one has a scatter file

Hi.
You have to select the file direct from the Needrom site.

P.S.: even the link is

you have to download from the site.
I'll try all this at the weekend, but my two cents are that it won't work. At first attempt I flashed BETA4 with MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt (so no need to enter recovery and wipe cache/Dalvik) with a bootloop result.
My guess is that there are different ROM versions of X5 pro, and newest are incompatible with SnowcatPDA 7.1.1 firmware. Will see in a few days...
As I was suspecting I get a bootloop after logo. Now the question is: Is there a stable custom ROM (7.1 or newer) that I could use daily instead of MM 6.0 (R16) stock ROM?

[guide] how to fix totally dead redmi note 4 | stuck in bootloop | qfil flashing

Hello everyone, in today's guide I will tell you all how to fix bootloop problem in Redmi note 4

4) Unlocked bootloader
5) Platform Tools (For passing OEM EDL command)
6) Stock fastboot MIUI ROM (IMPORTANT: Use V8.1.10.0.MCFMIDI from here: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.1.10.0....DI_20161228.0000.00_6.0_global_7557bfe334.tgz)

6) Now turn off your phone and enter Fastboot mode by pressing ans holding power button+vol down button. After that open platform tools folder downloaded above and right click opening cmd in that folder and write following command:
fastboot oem edl
And hit enter (The above command does require your bootloader to be unlocked so kindly keep that in mind before passing the command)
7) Your phone will exit Fastboot mode and red led will start blinking and your phone will be detected as COM port in QFIL tool.
8) At last hit download button, if you did everything right process should begin and end saying download complete.
9) You can now remove your phone and keep holding power button till it boots up. First boot will take some time.
Optional step 10) If you loose your IMEI in flashing process then you can flash your IMEI using Qualcomm IMEI tool (If you face problem in this then comment and i will come up with another guide regarding IMEI flashing)
Hope it helps, if yes be sure you hit that thumbs up button it gives me good feeling lol ?

Hello everyone, in today's guide I will tell you all how to fix bootloop problem in Redmi note 4
NOTE: THIS FIX IS FOR THOSE WHOSE PROBLEM DIDN'T GET FIXED EVEN AFTER FLASHING WITH MIFLASH
QFIL is a tool which is used to flash stock firmwares in Qualcomm smartphones.
Prerequisites:
1)Bricked Redmi note 4 (lol I guess you have that already if you are reading this)
2) Working USB cable (You really dont want yourself smashing your head and then finding out faulty cable)
3) QPST Version 2.7.438.3 (Google it)
4) Unlocked bootloader
5) Platform Tools (For passing OEM EDL command)
6) Stock fastboot MIUI ROM (IMPORTANT: Use V8.1.10.0.MCFMIDI from here: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.1.10.0....DI_20161228.0000.00_6.0_global_7557bfe334.tgz)
7)QDLoader HS-USB Driver for Redmi Note 4X
Note: I'm not responsible if you mess up your device the mentioned process helped me and others in fixing our devices. You yourself are responsible!
Steps:
1) Open QFIL tool from C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin or wherever you installed it. Run as administrator!
Note: Don't use older version QPST, because you will get an error message when writing userdata section.
2) In QFIL choose Flat Build option.
3) Make sure you you have extracted the above ROM file onto desktop
4) In QFIL tool browse and locate .mbn file
(Named like: prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn)
5) Click on Load XML and select rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml inside your Fastboot ROM folder.
6) Now turn off your phone and enter Fastboot mode by pressing ans holding power button+vol down button. After that open platform tools folder downloaded above and right click opening cmd in that folder and write following command:
fastboot oem edl
And hit enter
7) Your phone will exit Fastboot mode and red led will start blinking and your phone will be detected as COM port in QFIL tool.
8) At last hit download button, if you did everything right process should begin and end saying download complete.
9) You can now remove your phone and keep holding power button till it boots up. First boot will take some time.
Optional step 10) If you loose your IMEI in flashing process then you can flash your IMEI using Qualcomm IMEI tool (If you face problem in this then comment and i will come up with another guide regarding IMEI flashing)
Hope it helps, if yes be sure you hit that thumbs up button it gives me good feeling lol

Hello there,
First of all make sure that you are flashing the fastboot rom which I mentioned in the thread.
Now coming to your problem, open QFIL tool and open configuration panel. You will see many options, check for 'Erase before Download' option and make sure its unchecked then try flashing again. If the problem persist then send me screenshot of QFIL tool along with configuration.
All the best!

Dear, you DON'T NEED TO SELECT "ERASE BEFORE DOWNLOAD" !!! Now listen carefully what to do-:
1) Download mi flash tool and mi unlock tool
2) Your bootloader must be locked now so unlock it with mi unlock (Don't worry just use your mi account it will unlock successfully)
3) Once unlocked flash the fastboot rom in fastboot mode using mi flash tool. IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU SELECT "CLEAN ALL" OPTION
4) Now when flashed your device will restart. Dont let it boot up. Press and hold power+volume down button till you enter into fastboot
5) From fastboot enter EDL mode using "fastboot oem edl" command. Red light will blink
6) Open QFIL and make sure "Erase before download" IS *NOT* SELECTED
7)Click download and you should be good to go

In order to use mi flash correctly kindly place the fastboot rom in C: drive root directory then try flashing, it will work. Its a bug of mi flash
Hi I followed your all 9 steps in the first post. However, me too is stuck in 'mi' logo nothing happens waiting after 10 minutes
Then I followed the following steps, flashed by mi tool followed by QFIL. But my QFIL didn't have "ERASE BEFORE DOWNLOAD" option. I downloaded the exact QPST version 2.7.438.3 from gsmhosting forum.
Still the phone boots and stuck with 'mi' logo forever. I have tried flashing other ROMs like RR, lineageOS from TWRP but each of the ROM is stuck while booting . Only miuiPro "miuipro_v7.0_mido_v9.2.1.0_NCFCNEK.zip" manages to boot but keeps rebooting after every 2-3 seconds. My phone has been useless for 3 long days.

Try downloading the lastest version from here:

Erase before download must be unchecked
And remember first boot does take some time so be patient a little. Hope it works!

Strange :/ you can try miflash tool for that case. Download the lastest mi flash tool, enter into EDL mode using "fastboot oem edl" command then in mi flash drop down menu in left corner select "flash_factory.bat" and click flash. It will take around 400 seconds. Make sure you are in edl mode with red blinking light otherwise it will wipe your IMEI. Hope it works!

Man, I think its some sort of hardware issue then. Or maybe your messed up your blobs or your partitions real bad and corrupted them. QFIL helped in my case. Got no more tips, maybe its time to visit service center brother One last shot you can give is to try flashing with QFIL first then with Mi Flash. That's last hope! All the best!

Which version of QFIL and which ROM are you flashing with? I managed to flash the said version in OP through QFIL without any error. However, other official versions like 9.xx fail to be flashed by QFIL
A solution that worked after all these troubles
Hi everyone,
This post is for those who are still struggling with 'cool' bootloop in Redmi note 4x irrespective of stock, custom ROMS, you are flashing.
Before all these steps I flashed "mido_global_images_V8.1.10.0.MCFMIDI_20161228.0000.00_6.0_global_7557bfe334.tgz" using QFIL first, then miFlash tool. I was greeted by "can't decrypt phone".
Refer to the OP
Then I flashed lazy_flasher and managed to boot into the stock ROM but couldn't get past the Mi account setup. Even my Keyboard app keeps stopping, so annoying.
The the below Steps I followed redeemed me of this agony powered by xiaomi:
1. Downloaded this firmware==>"global-mido-firmware-7.12.14.zip"
Mokee ROM==>"MK71.2-mido-201803080920-NIGHTLY"
open gapps arm-64, 7.1, pico
open gapps arm-64, 7.1, nano [BOTH] from gapps
2. flashed TWRP=3.1.1-0[official version] from the xda
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [name_of_recovery_image_of_twrp]
3. Entered into Recovery==>WIPE=>Advanced WIPE=> select all partitions==>WIPE[can leave Internal storage unchecked]
4. Then Format Data==>yes
5. Copied firmware, Mokee ROM, pico and nano gapps [4 items] to internal storage
6. Flashed downloaded firmware, then MOKEE ROM, then gapps-nano
7. Reboot to recovery
8. After entering Recovery, Reboot to system
Hopefully we will see mi logo, then Mokee robot animating soon enough. It will take you to setup wizard within 5-10 minutes, If you see any Google apps [Gboard in my case] stopping,
it may mean that google Play services were not installed properly[Don't know why]. In my case I couldn't set up Google account/framework first time. If it happens, go to settings,
enable developer options tapping BUILD version==>then enable USB debugging.
Then reboot to Recovery
Flash gapps-pico.
Do factory reset from Recovery, simple wipe.
Then reboot to System.[DON'T install TWRP as system app etc]
For me, this time I was able to setup google account from the setup wizard. Google service framework has been working without any issues. [ Again Don't know why]
This time I have been able to install my desired apps from playstore
Few more words:
Firstly, I tried flashing only pico, but I couldn't set up the google account, no matter how many times I reboot to recovery, wipe Dalvik-cache etc, then flash pico.
I described exactly what I did that worked out for me. There could be many possible orders, combinations, but I don't have time for that.
I tried to flash Alexy's "RR-N-v5.8.5-20180121mido_alexy.zip" ROM in combination with this firmware but it just will hang TWRP while flashing. only this MOKEE ROM worked with this firmware for me.
I wasted full 3 days for fixing this device. And no intention to tinker with it anymore, my communication has been in a mess!.
While in stock MIUI 'google *apps keeps stopping" just annoyed me as hell, so decided to switch, and after 3 days of disgusting 'Waiting period for bootloader UNLOCK' I couldn't even install a working stock
MIUI ROM now, maybe cheap hardware issue offered by Xiaomi. They have just made everything complex. This is my first and last device from them. My previous Moto G3 was amazing and would be with me had it not been stolen
Will be happy to help regarding this issue, and thank you the OP of this thread, who helped me realize that this device is still able to boot.
Wishing everyone in this note 4x trouble good luck!!

[GUIDE][MI A2 / MI 6X] How to unbrick from ARB (EDL state)

Salve! As you may know, Xiaomi enabled ARB (Anti-Roll Back) for Mi 6X starting with MIUI 10. It means that if you try to downgrade from MIUI 10 to MIUI 9, your device will enter in a brick EDL state and the only way to recover it is to send it to Xiaomi or flash it using MiFlash and an Authorized Account.
Yes, I am stupid and it happened to me.
Now, as I read here on XDA, there are some people who managed to brick their device by triggering the ARB when they converted the Mi A2 to Mi 6X to test MIUI. So if you flashed MIUI 10 and didn't deleted firmware-update from the .zip file, you triggered the ARB. If you tried to flash MIUI 9 or stock Mi A2 ROM, you managed to brick your device and it stays in an EDL state (Qualcomm 9008). You SIMPLY CANNOT rollback to Android One yet but you can revive your device very easy without test point or Mi Authorized Account.
Steps are simple. You just need to restore the device to the latest available MIUI 10 with a modified version of MiFlash by using wayne (Mi 6X) ROM with patched files in order to bypass the Unauthorized Account thing.
Keep in mind that your device will be MI 6X forever! Forget about Android One! If you want to revert back to stock Android, flash AEX or Pixel Experience.
1. Download MiFlashTool and Patched Programmer files: CLICK
2. Download latest Mi 6X MIUI Developer ROM: CLICK
3. Unzip all the files on your Desktop
4. Copy the Patched Programmer files to images folder of ROM
5. Start MiFlashTool, select the folder with your ROM (do NOT select images folder), on the bottom-right select flash_all
6. Plug the phone on your computer, hit refresh and flash fast!
7. Your phone will start flashing. When "success" appears, unplug your device, press the power button for about 15 seconds and boom, it's alive again!
8. If you want root or to flash another ROM, download the TWRP image from the folder above and type:
fastboot boot «drop here the TWRP image»
Once booted, copy the TWRP image to internal memory
In TWRP, go to Install -> Install Image -> Select TWRP image -> Recovery
Reboot -> Recovery
Since this device is no longer a Mi A2, we have now a standalone recovery partition. With ARB triggered, you can flash any ROM from TWRP (MIUI 10, Pixel Experience, AEX, Treble etc.). If you flash again MIUI 9, you will brick again your device.
If you found this tutorial helpful, hit that thanks button!

I can boot it but stuck on the MI logo, also i can boot to fastboot but neither way does the phone recognized by my and other computers. When the phone is turned of and i press the power button only once the led is blinking but if I plug it in to the computer it starts to boot and stuck at the MI logo. Is there any way to recover or should i return it to a service center? Sorry if it's an offtopic question but you are my only hope.

Boot the phone in EDL mode from fastboot (fastboot oem edl) and flash Mi A2 stock ROM. It should work.
after that and the cell phone resurrects, can this tutorial work?

No, it will brick again. Only if somebody makes a TWRP flash version for stock ROM.

[MI A2/MI 6X] How to flash without edl Authentication and get latest pie beta cn

Salve! As you may know, Xiaomi enabled ARB (Anti-Roll Back) for Mi 6X starting with MIUI 10. It means that if you try to downgrade from MIUI 10 to MIUI 9, your device will enter in a brick EDL state and the only way to recover it is to send it to Xiaomi or flash it using MiFlash and an Authorized Account. Now if you are like me and have a locked bootloader in a converted a2 to 6x wayne then the only way is testpoint and even if your device has an unlocked bootloader doing fastboot oem edl is very unlikely to work
Now, as I read here on XDA, there are some people who managed to brick their device by triggering the ARB when they converted the Mi A2 to Mi 6X to test MIUI. So if you flashed MIUI 10 and didn't deleted firmware-update from the .zip file, you triggered the ARB. If you tried to flash MIUI 9 or stock Mi A2 ROM, you managed to brick your device and it stays in an EDL state (Qualcomm 9008). You SIMPLY CANNOT rollback to Android One yet until they introduce ARB to that device too but you can revive your device very easy with test point but no need for Mi Authorized Account. Sorry it has to be this way but this is the only way took me about 8 times to try and finally someone showed me this file which helped
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1wAqlpmxMdZpibzPBuyBEwOY9ggcifAdd - This has everything include including the xiaomiflash no patched files are required as they have already been modified to bypass edl authentication i would also turn your wifi off whilst flashing this as thats what worked for me..weird eh?
Credits go to Sunchai - Admin of Mi Max Thailand for creating this amazing bypass
https://ibb.co/fYYmq0P
https://ibb.co/rd81JfK
These are screenshots of everything working so yeah , also if you are a2 user converted when you install the pie beta via the older beta version enhance lowlight photo automatically is fixed
My device is mi 6x and arb var : 4, unlocked bootloader. Currently I'm using havoc rom. Is this possible to go back to official china dev rom without bricking the device?

You're are saying to try fastboot oem edl first, if it doesn't work then open device and use test point, right?

If you open up the device two pin it and install everything specific to that folder including version of xiaomiflash etc, this could help save you from the brick

Lmao no one is doing it properly follow the instructions carefully and properly turn off WiFi/ethernet before you click on xiaomiflash and make sure you use one provided as well as that clear and delete and version of miflash previously installed on your PC

Is your phone opened because if it isn't thats why it works for so many others but for you it doesn't there is something wrong your doing here
confirm, it works. boot to fastboot with bootloader unlocked. turn internet connection off. use the miflash provided with the rom.
Surely you wilm be.return to miui v.8.2.23, then able to update to v9.3.21 Pie

Android 11 + TWRP + Root + Safetynet OK

I just want to share my trials and tribulations...
I tested many things and I manage to have my Poco F2 on Android 11 with easy way to root and have a Safetynet OK
There are many ways to do it but i never found it in only one post...
Here's my TO-DO list to make it...
1 / Starting from the bottom, I flashed the latest global rom (FASTBOOT METHOD to make a clean phone)
V12.0.3.0.QJKMIXM (Android 10)
- activate the phone after boot then go back to Fastboot Mode
2/ Unlock Bootloader via Mi Unlock (Fastboot Mode)
- activate the phone after boot then go back to Fastboot Mode
3/ Install TWRP via Fastboot mode
TWRP-3.4.1B-0328-REDMI_K30PRO
(XXXX is the name of your TWRP file)
- fastboot flash recovery XXXX.img
- fastboot boot XXXX.img
- After flash and the first boot to recovery, "format data" (The one you have to type YES) and reboot into recovery
4/ Install Latest Xiaomi.eu Stable (Or Weekly maybe)
[V12.1.2.0.RJKCNXM][Android 11]
- Copy the rom on your phone (from recovery)
- Install rom
- Wipe your data,cache,Internal storage,dalvik DONT WIPE SYSTEM OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
- Reboot your device.
- If reboot to recovevy, then format data (again) and reboot system
- activate the phone after boot then start the phone to go to the desktop (google account, security,...)
5/ Root with Magisk Canary
- Reboot into recovery
- Flash Magisk-debug.zip then format cache
- Reboot till the phone ask for sim card code then restart
- Open magisk manager and check you on canary canal for update
- Root should be ok!!! (you can download the magisk zip from magisk manager then reflash it in recovery mode to be sure : i dit it lol)
Here, my safetynet was failed then my google pay didnt work
6/ For Safetynet, use MagiskHide Props (even if I don't use it cause i flashed persist.img from Official rom)
That's all from and for me
Hope it can help
PS : Maybe I have bugs but for the moment it's ok
Probably you loose possibilities to make fingerprint works again... I do the same things and now fingerprint doesn't work more, and there are no possibilities to make it works.

Seems to not want to reset even after a fastboot flash rom
Maybe we need to find another persist.img file....
If you find a solution before me, tell me
Put your phone in EDL mode(install qualcomm driver) and flash fastboot rom via MiTool.
Persist.img not flash in fastboot or twrp method...only EDL
Sorry for bad English.
I try that to flash in edl mode but it not possible because Mi flash tools need authorized account, I whole day trying to flash rom in EDL mode without any luck..

the last thing that I now trying is to flash China stable fastboot rom through EDL mode, because Fastboot and TWRP dont change Persist.img , only EDL mode,hope that China rom dont need authrorization

I am in the same case, after trying a lot of solutions, none have worked.
I prefer to wait for the arrival of orangefox than to open my device.

Maybe, I had sensors problem with my redmi note 7 and only orange fox was able to flash correctly the persist img.
Current twrp do not have access to this Partition, the result " FAILED remote: 'Partition is write protected".
I try this command with terminal "dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist" no error to report but not flash.
I try also to modify"rawprogram0.xml"in fasboot rom ,no error to report but no result.

For the safetynet on android 11, use magiskhide prop. Select Poco f2 pro + the option force basic key attestation. It works for me

MUI 12.2 20.9.17 Beta android 11 !
You need to use the last magisk manager canary version.
The prompt works for me!

Is decrypt for PIN on TWRP available?
Heard only pattern lock can be decrypted.
