does any one know a detailed methord to unbrick... a Hard bricked device....
it got hard Bricked while flashing stock miui....

Hard Bricked.....

your device have a red blinking LED?
can your computer / laptop detect your phone?
if yes
do a fastboot again... , or do it 1 by 1
"Fastboot flash system system.img" and so on

We can't kill qualcomm devices...They can be saved from any stage...Use Qfil to flash(if fastboot mode is not working)...

mi 4i does not boot up
My mi 4i does not boot up does not going to fast boot when i connect it to pc no charging symbol bt pc showd usb device doesnot recognise code 43

Install mi4i Qualcomm drivers and flash using latest miflash tool.
Flash tool will recognize the device as com 10 or com 30 or something like that

When i try that, the phone is detected as 12345...and then the status bar reaches 100% but nothing else happens. How long does it take for it to flash? any particular miflash tools version or ROM versions?
Thank you

Seems like you are flashing Android lollipop. Have you tried flashing miui 8 or 9 on Android M using miflash.
Also use old miflash tool, to avoid any compatibility issues.

Miui 8 or 9 fastboot rom contains repair scripts as well. When you flash them, it should solve issues if any.
Use any of 2015 year releases like
MiFlash 2015.06.01.0
Load all files properly and also use flash all while flashing. It should work.

For final attempts ...
1.Use different usb cable and try or other desktop.
2. Connect phone by press and holding vol up and vol down and power buttons , wait until you hear sound and then flash . If no use, try different combinations like holding volume up alone
3. Use QPST method for flashing(this is how i unbricked my mobile after flashing wrong bootloader)

Try flashing MIUI fastboot ROM using "command prompt", instead of Mi flastool, you can find the procedure of it on miui forum..

I need urgent help :(

Hey there... I was trying to get my OnePlus 7 -That I just bought - to a rooted Android 10, updating was the easy part but while trying to "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" I think I somehow got myself stuck making the bootloader (aka fastboot mode ) as my main thing the phone load into and now when I turn on the phone it goes straight to fastboot mode I go and try to "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" it says OKAY twice but I can't load into recovery it takws me back to the fast boot again.... Idk what to do... Help
More into:
I got to the twrp before once during the process and idk why dumb me rebooted when I couldn't access my phone files from pc I wanted to put the image of OOS on a flash drive and via OTG but once I restarted by mistake after that whatever choice I make on the fastboot screen will quickly restart and get back to the same screen, so I can do "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" successfully but I can't load to it I hit reboot to recover or Start or Reboot Bootloader nothing takes me to twrp,
Also when I try "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
It says sending recovery okay, writing recovery failed, (remote: (recovery_b) no such partition)
I hope to get any help and I'm sorry if it's an obvious thing I couldn't notice, I'm not the sharpest between my brothers. Momma says. ? with me. I'll appreciate it I promise.

"sahara server" problem : disable driver signature / update drivers
https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
Qualcomm dr: https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/android-qualcomm-usb-driver/
you must to press power button at the same time you plug in usb cable.....keep trying and your computer will start installing drivers for Port 9008
(you can use Google Search for more Info about "sahara" problem)
First of all twrp.img is a recovery image. You would normally use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img.
Secondly, you aren't supposed to flash twrp.img but use fastboot boot twrp.img and then boot to twrp and flash the twrp installer. If you can boot into fastboot, type fastboot boot twrp.img(twrp.70 for android q) and then flash twrp installer and oos. And if you can't boot into recovery you will have to use the msm tool.

Thanks daitalos for the reply..
the drivers for 9008 are installed as visible in device manager...
the msm tool shows the phone as connected, when i start the process, it waits for loading firehose binary and waits there for 10 sec.....after that throws error of sahara communication failed (FH:258)
i again tried the volume up + power button combo but to no avail...
also there is no red led light on the phone while charging

In device manager you can see "Qualcomm HS -USB QDLoader 9008 (com3 for example) ?
You tried another usb port (?)
in windows 10 it is better for the computer to have the "developer mode" enabled
Close any antivirus temporarily..
Run msm tool as Administrator ofcourse..
(I don't know but If you try with msm tool from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/op7-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-to-t3954325
you should see the models it supports (GM1900, GM1901, GM1903, GM1905)
_I think the problem is on the computer and the communication with the device...

Help needed in edl flashing!!!

I made a custom EDL cable of Type B and made my bricked note 7 pro go to EDL. I used a Data converter to do that. When I connected to Pc the device shows as a Unrecognized USB. Also not showing in MI FLash Tool. What to do?

What do you mean by Type B? Redmi note 7 pro never goes edl using deep flash cabels. U have to use test point method.

Search internet how to enter edl mode to flash ROM with Qfil
People are willing to help, but no response from the post creator. Many others might be in the same situation waiting for a solution. Come on.
I've bricked my device countless times but it only disabled booting to system and recovery for me. Fastboot always kept usable for me no matter how badly I messed up anything. Then I could flash twrp and vbmeta through fastboot.bat solution on PC and finally a working ROM from TWRP. What did you do? Please write about your situation in detail so I might try to come up with a solution. I'm also a realme Q user.

If you are on RUI 1.0, you will have fastboot and stock recovery access. You can download latest UI and install it via stock recovery. Why change MB?

www.droidwin.com
, and flashing vbmeta.img by twrp was not clear for me as I must "select partition to flash image " as twrp says , so i flashed vbmeta.img one time as boot and another time as bootloader and then flash system.img as system and then install permissiver_v5.zip and then reboot , my phone now not powered on at all , even any logo not appear , i put it in charger and hold power button a lot but no vibration at all and also can't open twrp or fastboot as my hold on power button all it did is flash the above light led when it is in the charger , no any thing else , I think the problem is related to my mistake when flash vbmeta as i didn't know any option i must choose or what is the problem and how can i fix it please ?
You messed up your boot system.....
1. You need a PC
2. Redmi Drivers
3. USB CABLE
4. MiFlash tool and the stock ROM
Do you have MiFlash installed on your PC?
yes , it is installed , i connected the phone as you say but it is not read by the flash tool till now
Wait so has it been discovered or not
Tried different usb ports?

i want to know is the problem already is flash vbmeta as boot ?
and now what can i do ?
1. Windows PC with MiFlash Beta (!) tool
2. Download a Xiaomi Fastboot Rom
3. extract Rom to your PC
4. start MiFlash Beta tool and point to the extracted folder
5. press Vol+ & Vol- & Power on your Mi 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.
i will try those steps now and tell you , i thank you very much

[Sovled] Unknown USB Device problem

Hi , yesterday I was flashing the MIUI official rom via the Spflash Tool and I unplugged it accidentally , after that I tried to reconnect it and it appear "Unknown USB Device (Descriptor Request Failed)" in the device manager. Is this fixable with software such as hydra , spflash tool or reinstalling the drivers? (Sorry for my bad English.)

I guess its bricked , I was flashing the miui 12 via the spflash tool but I unplugged the cable accidentally so now it became Unknown USB Device in the device management.
does it boot to fastboot?

no , it even can't boot to the MediaTek mode (the mode which uses spflash tool).
then you bricked it. try edl or seqrch for someone with box
Okay so now the unknown usb device problem is fixed but theres a new problem. When I use the MediaTek EDL mode to flash the MIUI , it appeared a error "ext ram expectioned". It stucked at the "Download DA" process and after 60s the device disconnected from my pc and appeared that error.
