Are you still able to start a fastboot flash?
If so (or you don't know) go to the Mi site and download tha stable global rom and try to fastboot flash it.

But can you start the fastboot via Volume Down-Power buttons?
So power down the phone, push Volume Down and keep it pushed.
Then press Power until you see the MI logo.
Release the power button, but keep the Volume down button until you see the Fastboot screen.
If that works, connect the phone to the computer and try again via fastboot flash.

Sorry, i missed that in the opening post.
Most people call it bricked when it is not, i was assuming that in this case too.
Sorry.
In this case i cannot help you, i don't have that info.
When it comes to a hard bricked device, I'll just go to a Xiaomi Service Center in the nearest place around me.
I don't really know about Xiaomi's warranty policy, because they're vague. They don't have a clear policy for rooted devices. For Samsung they will void your warranty when they know it's rooted, but it's not clear in Xiaomi's case. I heard a rumor, though, that rooting doesn't void your warranty on Xiaomi, but if you want to keep to the safe side, do this.
Go to the nearest Xiaomi Service Center in your country, don't forget to bring your warranty card or at least a receipt of your Mi 4i purchase. Take your time waiting for your turn, and then when you're called, go to them and say that your phone won't turn on. If they ever ask you of what happened, just say that you want to update your MIUI version (don't mention that it is rooted), it is successful, but when you want to reboot it, it just shuts down and won't budge.
If you ever asked whether your phone is rooted or not, just say that you don't know anything about root.
How'd you bricked it? Can you explain

the fact is, i have no xiaomi service cnter n my county..
Since you don't have service center. You'll have to unbrick it yourself. First thing you have to find is the download points for the mi4i. I would suggest posting this thread on MIUI forums.

i was flashing a fastboot rom with miflash... before the flashing ends somehow the device got disconnected, from that moment no fastboot mode...
Since the installation was interrupted. The partition of eMMc is probably messed up.
So the only solution you have to get the phone to download mode. Don't hit and try test points. Curiousity kills
Even if you get it to download mode. You must have a partition image. Which can be obtained from someone's working mi4i. It would be a huge image. Somewhat around 16gb so it's not possible to upload such a large file
You can try to get some info from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/question-qualcomm-download-mode-k-t3068040
Hi! I have exactly the same problem. I was trying to find the test points in order to put the phone in fastboot mode. Are you sure this method doesn't work with the Mi4i?

Sorry buddy...... Tried it... but no use
All we can do is to refer you to a service center. Sorry.
Moderators, please verify my account. I am sick of the five-minute post wait.
Sent from my XT1022 using the XDA Premium 4 app.
Try this..power the phone off, wait 5 mins, then press and hold power for 60 seconds, and check if you see any signs of the phone coming back to life. If not, then the next option is the service center
that too is not working.................Is there no one inthis whole XDA Universe who can help me..... come on guys there must be someone................:crying::crying::crying:

The five-minute post limit is lifted once you have reached 10 posts. The moderators have nothing to do with it, as the process is automated to lift the wait after you post 10 times.
The reason for this wait is to keep new users from rapidly posting uselessly just to achieve 10 posts.

Oops, sorry to get your hopes up.
I do actually have a few things to say about the real problem here:
1. Are you sure that your device is charged up? If not, make sure to plug it in to charge.
2. If charging isn't the problem, I'm going to give it a safe bet that your device is bricked. Like, turned into nothing more than a brick. (That's what "bricked" actually means ) If the device doesn't respond to the power button (which your posts have led me to believe), then there is no way to revive your device.

You said you've cleared eMMC and also some boot related stuff.
Well, messing with your eMMC and boot partition isn't a good idea, if you wiped your entire eMMC partition it means you've also wiped bootloader stuff...
I'm sorry but looks like your phone is totally bricked....
First of all stop shouting...!
Are you sure you choose "advaneced menu" and not "mount and storage" ....?
Also me too I think your device is bricked...
If you can't recognise it from fastboot and adb and you can boot to bootloader and recovery mode it is bricked...

Your device has a locked bootloader, you can't flash TWRP on a device with a locked bootloader. Don't just assume you can flash anything on any device, there are factors that change what can be flashed or even if anything can be flashed at all.
Your only options are:
1) flash stock firmware via Odin
2) follow this thread to unbrick Verizon S3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
3) send your device to a repair shop that offers a JTAG service.
4) replace the motherboard in your device
5) buy a new device.

It's just softbricked, you don't need to use JTAG or the hard brick guide, just follow the softbricked guide with a ne1 stock ROM. The one by the pagel works perfectly.

The boot from SD card method that I gave you a link to might work in your situation.
Or, you can try buying a USB jig from eBay for $3-5, it's a tool designed to force your device into download mode. It isn't guaranteed to work but if it does you can flash the firmware. If it doesn't then you only lose $5.
If you can't fix it yourself then a JTAG service is your best option, it isn't guaranteed to work either and it usually costs around $50 plus it has to be shipped to the shop, repaired and then shipped back to you.
Or you can buy another motherboard and put the new one in your device. This is an option you can do yourself of you're careful.

There's no reason why you can't get into download mode.
USB jig, or use ADB and force it into download mode.
There is absolutely no way you're hard bricked, booting from an SD card won't work in this case because your phone turns on normally. Just keep trying every method you can find to force your phone into download mode and work from there.

Have you tried pulling the battery out, then holding the volume down+home+power then inserting the battery to "bump" it into download mode?

Hello, firstly allow me to apologize for my English and long post.
I had a problem with TWRP not being able to perform any action due to not being able to mount data, after searching on the internet it was suggested to flash the recovery with OrangeFox, which I did but wish I hadn't.
Now my phone constantly reboots without showing anything on the screen, was it not for the vibration I would think that it was completely dead. It should be noted that it currently has no working ROM inside (hence why I was trying to flash another one with TWRP which was not working), before flashing OrangeFox when I opened it it went straight to the recovery, although it did show the Xiaomi brand while booting. Now I'm unable to perform any action, including the most important one, accessing the bootloader in order to flash another recovery. Is there anything that can be done by me? Is it dead for good? Do I have to send it to a technician?(I would rather try everything before that)
You may have to re-flash TWRP via ADB fastboot. Once you are done go straight to TWRP

I cannot access the bootloader to flash TWRP. I cannot also use ADB to reboot to bootloader because it doesn't recognize the device, it says "no devices connected" or something similar. When I was able to access the phone I had to change the usb mode to DIMI or something similar, I don't quite remember how it was called.
Same problem here
My redmi 6 is broken with a black screen and vibrates about every 10 seconds or so
sp flash tool might solve your problem; you can download the stockroom of your phone from the official website and try to flash it through SP Flash tool;
it's supposed to work but it didn't work for me; I get an error message ( BROM_CMD_FAIL) and MI flash tool asks for authorized account
I hope that you can fix your phone

Thanks for the information but that that was one of the first things I did; didn't work for me either. I gave it to Xiaomi to fix it, I expected to have to pay even though my phone is still in warranty but strangely they fixed it for free. I didn't tell them how it happened though, I just told them that it had stop working. I suppose that they didn't care to check whether I had done something on the device.

You still can just boot into your fastboot. You can't see it but if you manage to blindly boot into it, you'll see it in "fastboot devices"

Unfortunately, it didnt. I had to contact someone online to flash my phone with team viewer as he had an authorized mi account. It worked like charm
If it asks for an authorized account, then you have no other solution. That's what I learnt as I tried every possible solution I came across in the internet.

I contacted an Egyptian guy in facebook to fix the phone.
Not sure if it is allowed to post his profile link here as it will be counted as advertisement?
It cost me only $4.* (Around 5 dollars in PayPal). That was a year ago, I don't know if he still charges the same amount.

He is an Arab, I dunno if he speaks English. So I can try to contact him for you, but I will take no responsibility. I will link you together if you want. But, beyond this, I won't be involved.
I dealt with him, I paid him before I got my phone fixed, He gave me files to download and then he controller my laptop and used his account to flashy phone. So I only dealt with him once, and he was trustworthy at that time. But I can assure you nothing. It is up to you.

I'm in touch with a guy with and authorized EDL account for Xiaomi, who speaks Spanish and English, but he's not sure I'm plugging the phone in EDL mode, he insists that I must use the test points, I tried everything but I can't find them. So, was your phone before flashing just rebooting in a loop with a totally black screen and just small vibration after some seconds? That Arab guy was able to come alive your phone just with sp flashtools and an authorized account?
I guess my phone is in the same kind of brick that yours were, the only way to detect it in my laptop is keeping press the volume up button after plug and it appears in the devices manager just for a second unless I tried some operation with sp flashtools (error status_brom_cmd_fail (0xc0060005) by the way). Is this the same state your phone was?
Thank you so much for your help.

Which files he asked you to download ? Can tell us plz it will be helpful
Hi @Pradeep1998, as far as I know, the only way to unbrick a phone in that state is using sp flashtools, you won't be able to flash an image using miflash because the phone is unable to boot in recovery or fastboot modes.
I assumed the only thing I need to unbrick the phone is an authorized account to login when trying to flash.
I can tell you what steps I did to get to this point:
Install all necessary drivers on the computer to detect the phone. I presume you already have them.
Open device manager on Windows and plug the phone, in the USB computer port, with button volume + pressed. Wait a while and you should see a new interface show in just for 1-2 seconds. It appears every time the phone boot.
If you can see the device, it's time to try to flash:
Download and install MiFlash Pro. It includes a flashtool version integrated in some way with Xiaomi account, which is necessary to login and unlock the bootloader during flashing.
Download an image to flash for redmi 6 (cereus)
Download auth & DA files for spflash. I'm not sure if it's important use one or another, I use these that I got from some forum.
Open MiFlash Pro app and, in the top bar, you can see spflash, click there and spflashtool app will launch.
Load scatter file from cereus image and DA & auth files. If it throws a validation error loading the files, go to the options and uncheck one item to avoid validation (it has exactly the same name that the error)
Click Download, plug the phone with volume + pressed and when the app starts to flash a login Xiaomi miaccount windows will be shown; if you fill with your username data it will say, unauthorized account or something similar.
I hope this information is useful to you. Greets.

My phone had the same issue with yours ( black screen, vibrates every 4 or 5 seconds, and the laptop detects it only for a second when I plug it pressing power button as I remember, and sp flashtools gives me an error ( BROM_START FAIL SOMETHING) so it was exactly the same error. By the way, according to my knowledge there is no EDL mode for MTK devices ( redmi 6 comes with an MTK cpu).
The guy repaired it with mi flash tool ( mi flash comes with an sp flashtool that kept asking me for an authorized account).
So I think that your device can be fixed with an authorized mi account.
I was on Crdroid and wanted to get back into Miui since there was weekly miui 12 version now. Downloaded it and flashed it but it would not boot. I remembered on poco i had that i needed to flash latest miui andro 9 before flashing latest miui andro 10 for some reason so i got back into twrp and did it. After reboot it went into some sort of boot loot and i lost any recovery and fastboot. Cant get into edl for that matter also. Anyone has any suggestion?
Can you elaborate a bit more, when you try to boot into fastboot with the button combination, does it work?
Do you get any indications when trying to turn on your phone?

Button combination gives me blank screen and revovery gives MI logo and just that until it rebots and stays like that in some loop. I can get into test mode after opening it to try QFill flashing but i forgot about account authorisation thing. I do not have any type of service center in my country that wants to deal with this. Issue is probably due to anti rollback policy in 2s. So i need solution to flash somehow thru qualcomm port but aparently only wth that account that has authorisation.
Thats where i got till now. Spent a whole day also at 4pda trying to find solution but nothing there worked for me

Oh that's unfortunate! I think that in this case you will need to find someone with an authorized account that will flash it for you remotely. There have been some people around here offering that service for a small fee but it might be worth paying as that might be the only way to fix it.
Same thing happend to me, first time i tried using custom rom. i dont know what exactly happened. i think its have something common with anti-rollback feature. I sent the divice to OFFICIAL service center.... I told them "use mi flash tool and authorised account to flash fastboot rom in edl" These OFFICIAL trained technicians... ehm idiots... change whole mother board.... atleast they count it as warrasnty repair.... there is one guy on reddit who succesfull unbricked his device via "shady bussines" (there is also contact on reddit page)... some guys offer xiaomi unbrick services via teamviewer. you can give it a try: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/ftix9v/shady_services_unbrick_with_mi_authorised_account/ EDIT: its last reply reddit (hope its allowed to post links)
note: you can put yr device in edl mode by pressing powerbutton. im not sure if its pressing or holding. (yr phone need to by connected to pc, then mi flash detect the phone if all drivers are instaled, it should be shown in "windows device manager" as PORT named "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008")
if you dont have authorised acc. this will happen https://imgur.com/a/oJVpKEl so you need someone with authorised account who will unbrick yr phone via teamviewer [Sorry for my bad english]
Ijust dont understand why xiaomi dont allow user flashing in edl mode... or just make harder to brick phone... i had oneplus and i never bricked it. bricking xiaomi is just super easy thank to their stupid anti-rollback and other b****its. i will never use custom rom on xiaomi again. i will dont buy xiaomi again
Did you try the MI Flash app? ...try to fastboot and check if mi flash works
Also try fastboot(combo-buttons only) and see if you can see the phone (cmd -> fastboot devices) ...if you see a device then you are good to go
If you have a fastboot miui rom you can use my guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/help/weird-behavior-boot-loop-random-t4086703
It's like using MI flash program but doing it manually - if mi flash gives you issues or else
P.S. CMD MUST be with administrator rights of course!
Hi Guys,
got a big problem here today. after installing on orangefox a miui11 stable rom suddenly flashlight went on and it stopped to install it... i was like WTF? so i have go to reboot to the recovery and my mix 2s DIED.
now
1) battery is drained
2) no fastboot (black screen on vol down + power key)
3) no recovery (black screen on vol up + power key)
4) bootloop on miui logo
any idea?
Hi, I'm having a brick issue with my moto g100, OEM is locked so I can't flash/boot anything. My only hope of getting it back is booting into EDL and blankflashing the device... problem is, I can't find a way to do so. Does anybody here know how to enter EDL mode with this phone? I've tried several button combinations, EDL cable, but nothing works. The only thing I've left to try is shortening the mobo pins, but I don't know which ones, let alone if the board even has them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a super easy solution. Go to the Google app store. And download the premium bugjaeger app on a different Android device so basically you're using another Android device to run fastboot commands just remember with Android 11 make sure you give both devices debugging access

If you can access fastboot.. try "fastboot reboot emergency"
I know this is prob too late for a suggestion, however have you tried chimera tool to bypass the edl lock? You don't have to pay for that part of the tool

Phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back...
I wanted to help someone whose phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back, phone hangs on a red warning. And in the process of experimenting myself got confused and got into the same situation. Unlocking the bootloader...
