[Help!] EDL Doesn't work

Hi everyone, i cant enter to EDL mode, i need it because my stock rom is unstable(All start with OTA update), after update it show me "unfortunately android.... has stopped " every 3-5 seconds. EDL works fine yesterday and i try to install fastboot rom, but since MiFlash get error when i install fastboot rom i cant reboot in EDL. Hope you can help me.
note: I try reboot trough fastboot and do same thing as the video.
youtube. com/watch?v=gPh1yE3or8g&feature=youtu. be
(Sorry for the video post, but i cant find something like this case in web and i really need help)

You can try load in fastboot, connect to pc and run edl.cmd from archive.
www28.zippyshare.com/v/sKankJGd/file.html

go to fastboot and type "Fastboot oem edl" then enter and you will find the device got into the EDL mode

Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery is the best way

I have the same problem
Hi! I have the same problem! I can´t get to EDL mode, also I cant update with MiFlash anymore.
I´ve been searching for over a week for a solution but I can´t fix the phone.
I´ve done the following.
1. Bought the Redmi 3S phone from Gearbest, came with a rom with adware, I was unable to update the rom from the updater.
2. I downloaded an Official Fastboot ROM from the XIaomi website, then updated to latest version MIUI Official TeamVersion Stable ROM: V8.1.1.0.MALMIDI (MIUI8), without unlocking bootloader.
3. After succesfully updating the phone, Android starts but then I get a continuos error message and I cant do anything. Now I can only get to Fastboot Mode (EDL does not work anymore, even using Fastboot EDL mode). If I try to flash it again with Mi Flash I get Flash tz error.
4. I applied for unlocking, received the message after 48 hours but I am stuck on 50% with the error -current account is different from account info on the device xiaomi-
5. I am unable to update the firmware using fastboot mode, recovery mode or EDL mode, Unable to unlock the bootloader. Already tried several methods with no results.
Please help!
Thank you very much.

If your issue is just to go to EDL mode and get back Qualcomm 9008 port com why not to try the "cable trick" found for the redmi note3.
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...-edl-no-fastboot-no-logo-no-led-solved.34113/
See post n°22 and it is no risk to try it. The cable would be reusable.
You have also many other posts on the subject, just goole it.

Here's a really easy way to make a deep flash cable http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/help/help-bricked-phone-t3510277/post70029683#post70029683

Problem with TWRP

Hi,
Ido have redmi 3S 2/16 gb and have the following problem.
Flash in Fastboot "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" finishes sucessful
Reboot " fastboot boot twrp.img" finishes sucessful
but phone takes about 30 sec. to reboot and boots into normal system operation
I have tried several times, no success.
I can flash the phone with Miflash, everything fine. at the moment there is MIUI Global V8.1.1.0 stable on it.
Updater App also does not work correct, whenever i select a .zip to update it requires internet connection to download, but ROM is on SD card.
Any hints from the community ?

You MUST unlock the bootloader if you want TWRP flash stick and be usable.

Bootloader is unlocked, otherwise i would not have posted in Forum but forgot to mention in my first post.
But i found a very interesting way to boot into TWRP.
1. i temporarely booted into cyanogen cwm
2. restarted into recovery in cwm
3. to my surprise it booted into my previous installed TWRP
4. i could install MIUI v8 .eu rom without problems
booted into system the phone is running nice, but i cannot boot into recovery by Keys Power+ Vol+ nor via updater app.
In always boots into running system.

unique case, i'm following this...
i wish i can help but i'm not that expert
hopefuly someone with enough experience can help or at least give some information.
thanks for sharing

I have exactly the same problem with my redmi 3S 2/16 gb. I can't start twrp in any way....i will try to do your way.

Try flasher toolkit: http://en.miui.com/thread-328569-1-1.html or material twrp: http://en.miui.com/thread-346365-1-1.html
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk

I was having similar problems. Flashed twrp from fastboot but always got stock recovery. I used the flasher toolkit. PROFIT!

I tried everything but always stock recovery is back...
Annoying..

Hello ALL
In order to be sure to follow the same track is it possible for you to post your bootloader status as attached.
I have concern about the called "device critical unlock"
Thanks

exactly the same parameters on my redmi3s...i have to try the method from fmcheetah.

Thanks for your info.
Flasher toolkit executes all the commands wich i tried already in batch file format, no luck !

Same situation here...i've tried all this bat before, not even one works. Have somebody tried TWRP by cofface ?

I didn't...No nerves anymore
Sent from my MI 3W using Tapatalk

i believe you...this goes really on the nerves. What is very strange is that only a few of us have this problem. I have no clue why, but it seems to me that only happens to the people with redmi 3s (2 gb/16 gb) bought recently. I am trying to figure out if this has something to do how we do the flash with Miflash (maybe which version ?), but it doesn't look at the first sight any different from what others do.

Sorry but my Redmi3S is only 10 days old 'from buying date' and TWRP-installer.bat did the job at first trial. But I discovered that the data partition came encrypted and I was forced to format all. Then I installed the new rom from OTG because I didn't have SD card available.

Just for info:
The same behaviour i had before i flashed with Miflash with the Global Stable ROM.
I cannot try anything further because i prepared the Phone for a friend of mine. FW is MIUI V8 6.11.10 beta xiaomi eu. , he is happy so far.
By the way on a Redmi 3s 2/16 from 2 months ago i had none of this at all !!!

My Redmi 2 stuck at mi logo after rooting by super su app.

please help me friends.....
i have redmi 2 and its model no. is 2014818.i rooted my phone by zip file throug updater app.after installation super su app installed automatically.then i opened super su app and it prompts to select continue with normal recovery or twrp/cwm custom recovery.by mistake selected second option which is twrp/cwm custom recovery.then clicked continue.after that my phone booted and that after stucked at mi logo.
my phone is not going to recovery mode.it is stucked at mi logo.
But it is going into fastboot mode properly.also i flashed latest rom by fastboot method and it shows success result in mi flash tool.but after booting it agian stucked at mi logo.i also tried to flash by command prompt by using adb and fastboot tools.all commands i give gets executed properly but the problem is not solved
i went to Mi service center.he told me that "i will do some software update.after some time he came up and said that the phone is taking much time and stucked at mi logo.
then he assumed and told me that ,there is an issue in motherboard i.e. the motherboard is currputed.
but in my perspective i dont think so, because all the fastboot cammands and functions are woring properly.
please help me in this situation and suggest me that whether it is software issue or hardware, and also about the chances of resuming to life of my phone.

you should try to flash the firmware again but don't forget to select clean_all while flashing from mi flash tool. if your phone doesn't revives then maybe it's hardware issue.
and yes also try to install custom recovery and custom os after flashing firmware maybe your phone gets a new life.

U can't flash stock ROM by fastboot r8?
Have u tried to flash T.W.R.P by fastboot by using mi flash tool(try to use latest version of mi flash too).

i tried to flash TWRP and CWM recovery By Adb and fatboot method using commands (command prompt method) amd on giving commands all executed properly but not resulted.
From now phone is not going into fastboot mode also and not booting on pressing power button.
On connecting to pc the notification message appears and says "unrecognizable device and device may be malfunctioned".sometimes it is detected as Qualcomm Device on connecting.

In that case your device is hard bricked. You need professional help.
But check if your device is listed or not in device manager if it shows an exclamation mark try to update the drivers and though your device doesn't boots into fast boot mi-flash would probably detect your phone and than flash hope it would recover your device up-to certain extent.

I only understand your problem why because I too same thing as you did.

Simply flash twrp recovery n your phone through adb drivers or contact me. I can't give you video tutorial because I don't want you make that mistake again. my mail id: [email protected]

Alrighty I think praveen66542 is not wrong.
I have actually a redmi 2 and I had exactly the same problem a year ago; I've tried all the methods but it didn't work
So i've do is :
I installed Android SDK + ADB Drivers
I Turned my phone into fastboot mode
And I wiped all data from ADB But if you don't want to loose your data you can always do a backup from ADB and then wipe device's data
I think that's the one and only working solution.

[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
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 (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 ?
Reply if you face any problem
Peace!

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:
https://androidmtk.com/download-qpst-flash-tool
Erase before download must be unchecked
And remember first boot does take some time so be patient a little. Hope it works!

Hi,
II managed to flash successfully with MIflash tool, but after switching it on
do I have permanent boot loop with MI logo? Andere Fastboot ROM`s will MIflash nicht machen. Please look my Screenshot.

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!

Are you able to enter into setup wizard? If not then try the procedure I posted above using factory flash. After flashing with mi flash once again try flashing with QFIL. It's sometimes hit or miss :/

Hi,
I don`t able to enter into setup wizard, because boot-loop, so I done following:
1. mi flash factory flash-successfully
2. mi flash flash once again-successfully
3. flashing with QFIL- successfully
After switch-on again boot loop every 22 seconds with mi-logo
Do you have any more tips for me?
Greating

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!

flash failed in QFIL please help

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!!

Let me know bro what happens, hope it works for you
I wanted to use RR rom though, but in the end no ROM worked for me except this one. So I'm just happy with it.

Axon 7 not bricked but almost.....pls help

Background....wanted to upgrade from 6 to 8 so went through the process using miflash and one of TurkDevs packages (A2017V3.0.0B01-2_FULL_EDL_PACKAGE_BY_TURKDEVS).
Everything installed ok but the package was kind of 1/2 Chinese so I removed it. Have been trying to install another package but with no luck so far.
When I tried other pkgs I was getting a message that the device state was locked....used AXON_7_BOOTLOADER_UNLOCK_IMAGES_BY_TURKDEVS to unlock device ....worked fine
Current state - When device powers up it goes directly into bootloader and has the following info : fastboot mode
Product name: AILSA_II
Variant - MTP eMMC
Bootloader version - blank
Serial number - 8fb6f15
Secure Boot - Enabled
Device - Unlocked
Device will toggle between bootloader and recovery mode.
In my Device Manager it recognizes the phone as "Android bootloader interface" but has dropped the Qualicomm 9008 usb driver.
Would be grateful for any direction on this.......simple as possible please, I am not a super wiz with this stuff. I would like to put something better than android 6 on the phone as long as it is a stable release
Best Regards, Chuck

Following this post, you device should be rescued.

hi, followed link and d/l the EDL tool. When I run it it looks for the phone but cannot find. In my device manager it shows Android phone>Android Bootloader Interface but no QC 9008 port. If I run ADB it cannot find device either. When I power my phone it goes right into boot loader...I can toggle to recovery and try to run a package from SD card but it will run but generates error "footer is wrong".....thoughts ??

Run command： fastboot devices
If you device show up, then you can flash twrp by command
fastboot flash recovery "path"/"twrp file name".img

mmm...progress, got twrp to load. I see that the oreo 8.1 upgrade is available , will try to load it on. Let you know if any hiccups. tx for the help so far !!!

....tried to install a couple different roms (placed them on the SD card) twrp....begins to install but then generates the error - "zip signature verification failed" ?? have tried resurrection remix and aokp nougat for axon 7.... get same error. Thoughts please

you are welcome.
Once your twrp is loaded, you device is definitely rescued.
first, install latest twrp3.2.1.7 img from twrp, if it is not the latest.
then format data, and wipe everything, then copy modded latest stock rom zip file and corresponding bootstack, magisk16.4, to sd card if it can be mounted, or to internal storage otherwise.
Install bootstack, latest modded stock rom, magisk 16.4, factory reset, and restart.

Update - was able to install DrakenFX bootloader and stock system with TWRP. Did the install with no errors and both showed successful.
Now when I reboot or power on the phone it boots directly into fastboot. From there I can load recovery which goes to TWRP. How can I get it to boot properly into the OS?
Thank you, Chuck

Do not forget install Magisk16.4 after install ROM.
And try factory reset and then reboot disemmcwp.
If there is still problem, try format data again.
