For people with bricked devices due to ARB and unable to flash with the anti note 5 bypass fastboot rom (authentication failed).
You can try to use QFIL (QPST) as someone has successfully fixed it using QFIL.

Yes it worked for some

I was able to unbrick it using the qpst/qfil method, but I had to open the back lid and disconnect the battery. MiFlash didn't work for me..
Btw I have the note 5 ai and unlocked bootloader.
Thanks for posting this

Thanks

Update: USERS with (You are not authorized to download) error CONFIRMED that the antibypass fastboot rom worked with Miflash by forcing edl/testpoint again or by flashing with the battery connector Disconnected.

I tried rom from here shared by friend,,,,
It is not work it said you are not authorized to download, i tried many many times is not work. Always same error,,,,
Until I read force edl, i try open with guitar pick my phone,,,,
And success!!!!!!
My phone not working for 4 weeks because I have miui pro install and i flash old miui version and it dead,,,,
Thank you so much!!!! Greetings from Romania!!! Bună ziua!!!

I wont recommend using this to flash on your fake ubl device. I would if it was bricked but it's not. You could still apply for the official one. It's more safe.

So it possibly wouldn't work with my fully functional arb4 device with fake ubl then? Unfortunately I don't have authorized account to remove fake ubl. Lol really despise xiaomi for their arb d**k move.

It's asking for data decryption everytime I boot into the recovery.
I did all the steps and installed xiaomi.eu rom. rom works perfectly. but only recovery asking for decryption everytime, is this normal?

I've already flashed the eu rom using this recovery, there was no problem. The above issue is coming while trying to create a backup.

So I did as instruction and flashed MIUI EU Stable ROM. For some reason when setting up the phone, any PIN, password or pattern I set up is good to go. But can't use it to unlock the phone or inside setting, it will tell me that the password is wrong. I've factory reseted multiple times to make sure i got the password/PIN correct. And it won't let me set up fingerprints as well. So I did some reading and maybe the problem is because MIUI only allow setting up PIN/fingerprint when device is encrypted? and the last zip file decrypted the device?
Anyone can help me with this? Thanks!

cc9 meitu edition (vela)
@Radzią
Hi, can you please make a twrp for cc9 meitu edition (vela)?
cc9 meitu version does not have any twrp or alternative rom. only chinese.
Alternatively, If you have the time, knowledge and motivation, maybe you can post a detailed tutorial on how you have created this twrp, [Recovery] TWRP-3.3.1-0709 XIAOMI_CC9-CN-wzsx150?
maybe I can try to port one myself based on your tutorial.
I have tried to port cc9 meitu twrp using many guides from the web, but did not succeed.
I uploaded the original recovery for cc9 meitu to here https://we.tl/t-NtcZIhWoiD
thanks.

Question No Idea on How to Root Redmi 8A Dual

Hi All,
I am trying to root my Redmi 8A Dual and nothing works. I previously have rooted Samsung, sonny and even Lenovo phones but this one seems really tough. When getting into recovery mode, I see just reboot and contact MI Assistance. on developer settings, I am unable to do the Mi Unlock Status ( seriously no idea what that does). tried Magisk manager, King Root and MI unlocker web but not working. I want to degoogle my phone and make it AOSP ROM in it.
Can I get assistance here please?

Below are the following steps which helped me in successfully rooting my RM8A Dual-
1. Install Pitch Black recovery for RM8A Dual via fastboot.
2. Once installed recovery successfully extract your boot.img via recovery.(Many videos are out there to do it.)
3. Patch you boot.img on the website mentioned in previous posts.
4. Flash the patched IMG via recovery then reboot into recovery again and flash magisk and voila you're rooted.

As far as I now I have never Tried VBMeta till now after this Issue,
VBmeta resulted into bootloop when I flashed it First time in olivewood phone
I had to Reflash the Miui Rom again from scratch to solve Bootloop issue ,
Any Senior person might know the correct VBmeta file

Yes, You need to downgrade...

I unlocked my bootloader ..than I installed recovery and after than I installed vbmeta.img
After that I tried to install Havoc Os.
Now I'm stuck at bootloop, can you help me

I must be blind but I can't find the downgrade file in your attachments...
(Edit) Never mind, it's not in the attachments. ^^;

Is there any guide to do it on realms UI?

i have RMX1911ex_11_A.31.
i should follow steps from Unlock Bootloader
correct?

It dœsn't work: my phone just comes back to the fastboot…

Question Well I Bricked my Poco X5 Pro after 1 week

Im trying to install generic TWRP
I successfully unclocked bootleader after waiting for a week
but i ran into partitition unknown error while flashing TWRP
now its on bootloop
Any help?

what command are u using to flash the image file?

Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
give an error - FAILED (remote: '(recovery_a) No such partition')
then i tried
Code:
fastboot getvar curent-slot
give me a
then i did
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
see the problem is there is no supported or officol twrp fpr poco x5 pro
So i tried poco x3 twrp

try this fastboot flash boot_ab twrp.img
this device already received unofficial orange fox recovery
Recovery For Redwood
ORANGEFOX Recovery For Poco X5 Pro
www.pling.com

It may be completely off target, but how about using the slot b side?

How did you root it without twrp? Just using fastboot/adb with an unlocked bootloader I assume? Thank you.

Oh nice, thank you for the rapid response. Unfortunately I do not yet have a X5 Pro, I'm actually waiting for custom roms to appear, ever since Xiaomi baked gestures into the stock launcher I stopped buying phones until I could custom rom. Nova Launcher is a must for me and using it without gestures feels wrong. I was just curious as to how you rooted without a custom recovery. Very interesting you are using magisk on a different device to patch the boot image in the fastboot rom, which I assume you will flash using the mi flash. Is that what's happening? Thank you.

No need to flash with mi flash after u patch it with magisk.
After magisk step
U will boot into fastboot and install the patched boot. Img
U may have 2
One is for fastboot rom
2nd is for recovery rom
Depends on the rom u falshed during flashing using mi flash tool
For fastboot u will use receovey comand
For bootloader rom u will use boot command while flashing boot. Img
Hope it will help u and others
Also yeah these are the silly things I wanted to root this phone. Navigation or lockscreen wallpaper suggestions or annoying box icons etc etc

If I'm not wrong, you can do these with the debloater via usb debugging
