Tried hence telling u...

This method is very important for those with locked bootloader. Can anyone else confirm that it works ??

i can confirm that it enters in edl mode..chk this

doesn't work

Need confirmation from more users, whether this method works or not.
Thank you in advance.

Yes it work if you have unlock bootloader.

if you don't feel like downloading, the command to get into EDL is:
fastboot oem edl

Will it work on Snapdragon variant without unlocking bootloader

not working on 2017 edition... must open the backdoor case to do edl

Have you tried it or just saying?

He wrote that : "tested by me'', not sure tho.

confirm not working on device with lock bootloader

This doesn't work unless your bootloader is unlocked
If anyone is thinking they can root their device via this method, it's not gonna happen. cuz edl in 4X requires unlocked bootloaders or sorting tow points on motherboard. some people says they can make edl cable for 4X but I've not tested it by myself

Wifi Problem [CUSTOM ROM]

From the day I first flashed lineage my wifi stopped working. I have tried changing roms... Tried most of the apps on play store... Tried wifi fix... Nothing helped. I believe it is a software problem. I have also tried going back to MIUI. Please help, I'm on RR currently. I have also attached a video in a reply for you to understand what my problem exactly is.
My mac address is 2:00:00:00:00

here is the link to the video

I have already tried doing that by recovery mode.. Will it make any difference if I flash it using edl mode?

Recovery mode? Twrp or fastboot.
In any case edl should restore everything

1. Go into fastboot
2. Like when flashing twrp (minimum adb fastboot) folder open cmd and type 'fastboot oem edl'
3. Flash global stable with miflash
It'll take a bit longer than flashing in fastboot

I found a better way... Go to TWRP and select data fix or whatever that option is, it really works, but make sure you do that just after the problem starts.

Can you use fastboot (volume down+power)? If you don't have Android SDK, then install Minimal ADB and Fastboot, open cmd in that directory and type "fastboot device" (or "fastboot devices"?) while phone is connected via USB in fastboot mode. If it displays your phone's serial number, then you can use fastboot. If it doesn't show you anything, then I think wiping your phone in recovery or performing a clean flash through Mi Flash is the only way. However, if you can use fastboot, then the next step would be booting into TWRP... but we'll get to that once you confirm if it's working or not.

Hi,
i have checked by typing command---fastboot reboot and my phone reboots and hangs at android one screen so that means i can use fastboot but strangely didnt see in fastboot devices but i found output for fastboot oem device-info where device unlocked shows false and other status.
If this is enough for using fastboot to boot into TWRP?

Actually bad news is that to boot into TWRP you need to unlock your bootloader first (fastboot oem unlock), but to do that I think you need to have enabled "OEM unlocking" in developer settings (though strangely I am unlocked, but for me this option is disabled). Try unlocking anyway. If it doesn't work, then I would follow this guide to clean flash official firmware with Mi Flash Tool. Be warned, you will lose all your data if you manage to unlock your device.

Hi,
Is that mean i will still loose all data even if i unlock bootloader?
And i am unable to unlock bootloader by command. So only option i have now to do factoryreset/wipe data?
So after factory reset again i need to flash the ROM ? Because if again i need to flash ROM, i understand the prerequisite is Bootloader unlock which will create issue again.
Please suggest.

No, if you wipe your phone through recovery you won't need to flash anything. It just deletes all your stuff without touching the system.

Hi! SaurabhSh23!
Just gone through your post and i am stuck in the same situation of infinite android Logo appearing on screen. with only thing that can be done is FASTBOOT Mode, Tried ADB & Fastboot but OEM Bootloader is LOCKED and cannot be unlocked using cmd.

Guys pls help me i got stuck on boot logo i want to flash stock rom pls help me

I'm in the same boat. Unable to access developer options as phone won't boot and its stuck at the android one logo.
Fastboot oem unlock gives error Flashing Unlock is not allowed.
Is there anyway around this?

I'm still stuck with my Mi A2. I didn't enable OEM unlock or USB debugging and now i'm stuck on android one logo with only option is to boot into fast-boot mode. All commands and tools i try I get error stating unlock is not allowed in Lock State.
I bit the bullet and ordered an EDL cable so we'll see if i get anywhere with that. I've read that newer Xiaomi devices wont work with EDL cable and only option is to use the test point method....not sure how accurate that is but guess i'll find out whenever the cable gets here.

You can try fastboot oem edl
To put the phone in EDL mode without specific cable
However why not wipe data from the recovery?
Just use fastboot reboot recovery

Thanks for the suggestions. I know when I ran fastboot oem edl previously I get message stating device already locked.

If you see a triangle, you are in recovery mode
You need to press a button combination to see options, Search on Google for that

Maybe a bricked phone

Hey guys, I need some help. I searched a lot and didn't find nothing that looks like my problem.
I had a OP5 with Magisk root and tried to back it to stock. Then I flashed OnePlus recovery again, wiped everything and install 5.1.3 again. Everything ok until I made some dumb ****.
I tried to re-lock my bootloader and now my phone says that it won't boot up because it's corrupted. I can boot into both recovery and fastboot but I can't install anything (I can only install through ADB sideload and it says install failed) and I can't re-unlock my bootloader because it says remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed cant boot (but I can't boot so I can't enable oem unlock through developer menu).
There is anything that I can do to make my phone boot again?
Thanks in advance.

Thank u, killerex. Just one doubt: I see on the post about the tool that I need to have OEM unlocking enabled but, as I said, I can't do this since I can't boot. I can use this tool to flash Oxygen OS even with OEM unlocking disabled? And, if yes, how do I do, just flash the zip using the tool while in recovery?

Go to fastboot mode using the tool you can flash new recovery and unlock bootloader and flash rom..sorry for bad English

in fastboot mode, use fastboot command to flash new recovery and then install new rom in recovery. You can also use adb sideload in recovery.

No problems, my english is not that good too. Just one more question: there's any difference if I go to fastboot through the tool or the power option (vol up + power), because since I can only boot my phone in fastboot or recovery there is no way to go to fastboot using the tool (I guess)

If you unlock the bootloader it will automatically do a factory reset. See if u can boot into recovery mode, and if you can then from there u can do a factory reset

Press power and vol+ to boot to stock recovery.
When you see a "dead" android with a "no command" warning, press power button THEN Vol+. You should see a menu. Select wipe data/factory reset.
Obviously your data will be lost but you should be able to boot to Android.
