[GUIDE] Save User Data using MiFlash Tool by removing fastboot oem lock on batch file

This is for Stock Rom users that wants to update through fastboot images (May and onwards) and save user data.
If your bootloader is unlocked and want to save user data, just use this simple trick just remove the command
fastboot %* oem lock || @ECHO "lock error" & exit /B 1 on flash_all_except_storage.bat file.
I highly recommend Notepad++ to edit the batch file.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
We need to remove that command because locking the bootloader will also wipe user data on May fastboot images and onwards.
Go to your MiFlash Tool and then select the fastboot images, then select Save User Data Option from MiFlash Tool.
Flash it right away.

This method won't work if the bootloader is locked right?

@juliankreuzph Will this keep all the data i.e user data and storage data like in older versions of Mi Flash or only the user data i.e. system settings and delete the storage data i.e internal storage as mentioned in newer versions of Mi Flash?

is it save internal storage from wiping cuz wiping apps and settings or google account is not a big deal but wiping storage is a mess

i have just downgraded to oreo by removing "oem lock" line and "userdata" line from flash script when i flashed old oreo 9.5.9.0 my encryption code not not working it shows wrong pattern then i flashed oreo 9.6.8.0 then my encryption code working again. i didn't loose my data. thanks

No wonder my internal storage wiped when i return to stock from from los16 official just now, i do tick save user data and flashing latest stock rom ...now it cant update normally for September security patch anyone has any idea why? No root no oem unlock yet
EDIT: i had to clean flash, saving user data wont do anything good. I think i can update the system without error anymore probably..didnot yet coz using edxposed right noe

please check your skype or FB its urgent

bro where is that .bat file?

you can find that batch file inside "images" folder in the extracted Fastboot Image

I have Poco F3, I downloaded stock rom from miui but when I go to edit the flash_all_except_storage.bat file then I can't find the "fastboot %* oem lock || @ECHO "lock error" & exit /B 1" to delete it. Why ? If I proceed in flashing will my boatloader be locked as result data losing ?
I can't upload it as attachment, for this reason I make copy paste the content of flash_all_except_storage.bat

First of all , my first language is Chinese , there's maybe some grammatical mistakes in this post , I suggest you to read the original post if you can read Chinese , I'll put Chinese version in this thread too. I'll try my best to translate this.
Do this only when you encountered Crclist/Sparsecrclist error , don't do this before nothing happend.
This method worked on my MI 10 PRO and several other Xiaomi devices users (bigger than 200) , temporarily no one failed , but there's still risks maybe in the solution , so think twice before you try this.

1：打开你的ROM文件夹，你会看到三个文件，分别叫flash_all.bat，flash_all_except_storage.bat，flash_all_lock.bat，这三个分别对应着miflash主界面最下方的全部删除，保留用户数据和刷完上锁三个选项，根据你的需要，用文本编辑器打开你需要的文件（例如我要全部删除，就打开flash_all.bat）。
2：找到文件中以下两句：
fastboot %* flash crclist %~dp0images\crclist.txt || @ECHO "Flash crclist error" && exit /B 1
fastboot %* flash sparsecrclist %~dp0images\sparsecrclist.txt || @ECHO "Flash sparsecrclist error" && exit /B 1
(文件里第二个空行下面以fastboot开头的一大段，这是其中的第二第三句。)
在这两句前面手动加上REM ,变成
REM fastboot %* flash crclist %~dp0images\crclist.txt || @ECHO "Flash crclist error" && exit /B 1
REM fastboot %* flash sparsecrclist %~dp0images\sparsecrclist.txt || @ECHO "Flash sparsecrclist error" && exit /B 1
必须手动更改，不要复制这里面的内容，REM后面是加空格的。
改完保存。
3：打开miflash，按照正常步骤刷机，但刷机过程会比较奇怪，如果最后显示失败的同时，手机黑屏且没反应了，恭喜你，你成功救砖了。

It worked on my Mi 9T Pro - thanks for this

You can bypass this too by putting the ROM folder under C:/ on windows (same location as MiFlash). This worked for me.

Hard Bricked Poco X3 NFC

So looks like I hard bricked the poco X3 NFC within thirty days of buying it (Xiaomi refused to repair, paid or otherwise).
Unlocked the bootloader using their official tool, no problems (except for the huge wait times).
Used the Xiaomi Unlock tool version 2.0 to install TWRP and then flashed Corvus 14.5 Mutate through it (I usually do it all manually but this app said it could handle the flash safely). Stuck in a bootloop. Looked up online what to do and someone said wipe the data partition (have a feeling this is what did it). Now the phone is completely dead. No LED blink when powering on or charging. My PC now reads it as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
It's a goner, isn't it?
Welcoming all advice/condolences.

condolences...

You need EDL Flash

It's all good. If it's already being recognised by your PC just flash the correct stock ROM using Mi Flash Tool ad you're golden. Just make sure it's the tight one fore your device and you've checked "clean all" option in Mi Flash Tool.
BTW if you end up in a boot loop after flashing a ROM again make sure you do "FORMAT DATA" not "wipe data". It is not the same thing!

I think if your pc can detect the device, you are still kinda safe. Download Mi flash tool and flash the official stock rom. Here is the link to both, hope it works for you.
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1900385
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Best of luck.

there should be a speedrun for bricking your device
also how did you wipe your data partition? fastboot erase userdata ??
try restoring it via fastboot format:ext4 userdata

Thanks everyone for your help so far. I was considering paying for an EDL flash service (someone I know had theirs done successfully through an account on Telegram) Unfortunately the Mi Flash Tool doesn't seem to be working. I can't even get up to the bit where it would ask for an authorised Xiaomi EDL account. After clicking flash it just says 'timeout maybe the device was unplugged' or something like that and returns this string of code (taken from flash.bat)

Does anyone know what else I could try? I found this (https://romprovider.com/test-point-poco-x3-reboot-edl-mod/) but it's using software I'm unsure of. Is this my only option now do you think?

Try to move the MiFlash folder to the root directory (i.e. C:/MiFlash) and put the ROM inside the MiFlash folder and proceed this way. You never know ......

Can you get into fastboot or twrp ? Then it can easily be restored

Okay so I might get into trouble for this but SkaboXD was right, the only thing that would fix my phone was an EDL flash. I tried everything and this was the only thing that worked. I found a YouTuber by the name of Munchy (who basically spends his time telling people how to avoid tech scams) who endorsed a guy operating exclusively on Telegram on his video.
Seeing as so many people are being scammed for EDL accounts at the moment because real ones are like gold dust I think I'll take the risk of the banhammer to recommend (the guy the YouTuber endorsed) Angeluss69 on Telegram. I paid in Bitcoin because I wanted to stay anonymous but he accepts PayPal business and I don't know maybe he accepts more transfer types, didn't ask. I won't quote his prices just in case that isn't allowed but it's not so bad and he's running what seems like an honest business so I say it's worth it when compared to the expensive brick I had an hour ago. He's Spanish and his English isn't so good so he uses the Telegram in-built translator but it works well enough and he's quite friendly.
Sidenote: Apparently the reason why Xiaomi refused to fix my phone is because most staff don't have Authorised EDL accounts in their repair centers. This kind of makes sense. Gotta admit though, I'm curious as to how the heck he got that account. I'm putting up pictures as proof. Do your worst, Admins.

OS deleted itself when I rebooted the phone to update, now I´m scared to ever reboot again, what should do?

I soft bricked my friends phone (Mi 10 5g global variant) and I revived it by flashing stock rom but I did a couple of things to the "flash_all.bat" files that might have something to do:
I removed these lines as per this video :
Code:
::check anti_version
if exist %~dp0images\anti_version.txt (for /f "delims==" %%a in (%~dp0images\anti_version.txt) do (set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=%%a))
if [%CURRENT_ANTI_VER%] EQU [] set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=0
for /f "tokens=2 delims=: " %%i in ('fastboot %* getvar anti 2^>^&1 ^| findstr /r /c:"anti:"') do (set version=%%i)
if [%version%] EQU [] set version=0
set anticheck="antirollback check pass"
if %version% GTR %CURRENT_ANTI_VER% set anticheck="Current device antirollback version is greater than this pakcage"
echo %anticheck% | findstr /r /c:"pass" || @echo "Antirollback check error" && exit /B 1
And wrote "rem" in front of these as per this video :
Code:
rem fastboot %* flash crclist %~dp0images\crclist.txt || @echo "Flash crclist error" && exit /B 1
rem fastboot %* flash sparsecrclist %~dp0images\sparsecrclist.txt || @echo "Flash sparsecrclist error" && exit /B 1
Note: my problem isnt necessarily caused by this as I havent heard anyone else with these problems in the tutorials.
I ended up reflashing the rom with no problems and it works fine, but Im scared to reboot phone.

Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Check if it's still unlocked. Like showing one line as:
Code:
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
If bootloader is still unlocked, don't worry too much. It can still have chance to be revived. So you can reboot.
If the phone is still under warranty, unlocked bootloader of Xiaomi phones generally will not void warranty, so you can still find Xiaomi to fix it.

Question Flashing Stock Rom EDL Method

So I just wondering if I use the EDL method to flash my stock rom having all my .img files in the folder and running batch file flash all would I run the risk of permabricking my phone or should I be safe to do?
I managed to EDL flash with the .raw file but just want to be sure it's safe for me to do flash all.
Thanks

So I have edited the flash_all batch file to find SM8350 but Mi Flash is giving me error Mismatching images and devices.
I did a payload dump from UL-ASUS_I005_1-ASUS-18.0840.2111.196-1.1.101-user zip file.
This is the info in my flash_all batch file
