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.

Thanks @devcon69 I unbricked redmi note 5 pro with MIFLASH method. I didn't required Testpoint/Force EDL it was already on it when ever i connected it to pc. I also recovered data by selecting save user data option. I was on 10.0.1.0 global stable with arb3 and played with .edl files from developers rom so bricked and now on arb4.

How to unbrick redmi note 5 pro bricked by pre-ARB4 ROM downgrade

Here's the guide from the MIUI forum:
http://en.miui.com/thread-3805592-1-1.html
Reposted in case it disappears:
Yes, this is a working solution for unbricking Redmi Note 5 Global.
The credits go to @chocoml. Her/His original post is here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-3802858-1-1.html
Credits also to @br4n94 for the MiFlash portable tip.
So, how does it work?
1. Download the two files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16lQ-A175D_5DJU-YT4lbul5htgaNNw21?usp=sharing
This is a fastboot ROM v. 9.5.19.0. Note that you're downloading an operating system from the Internet. It can do anything - steal your money, eat your breakfast, run away with your girlfriend, whatever. Beware.
2. Unzip somewhere - you get a flashable fastboot rom.
3. Download miflash portable from May 2018
4. Unzip.
5. Go into the miflash folder. Find folder "mi" and rename it to something, for example "_mi"
6. Start XiaoMiFlash.exe
7. Connect the bricked phone. You should see message in windows about Quallcom interface 9008 blablabla.
8. Refresh MiFlash to see the phone on com XX
9. Selected the anti-test rom which you unzipped in (2)
10. Do a clean_all.bat
11. Wait for the flashing to finish.
You're unbricked.
Optional, but strongly recommended:
12. Restart straight into fastboot
13. Flash another ROM from a source you trust.
Cheers and thanks again to @chocoml and @br4n94 for the tips! Send them some credits!
Finally, I'd like to point out that this "solution" unbricks the phone, but does not remove the problem.
1. We still have NO access to EDL flashing using MiFlash from Xiaomi.
2. We still don't have trusted roms. While this appears to work, it may or may not do other things.
3. ARB4 can still brick you up.
I strongly suggest you keep a backup of this ROM and the MiFlash tool after you're done.
Also, it is possible that if you continute to upgrade with Xiaomi ROMS, they may "fix" something, and this method may stop working.
So if you want to keep your phone free, move on to something else, and away from MIUI.
Good luck,
Does it require the device to be opened and to be put in edl test point?

Redmi Note 7 Pro - Bricked (Current Device Anti Rollback is greater than this Pkg.)

I tried to search regarding this issue but couldn't find a solution so I am posting this issue in hopes that someone can guide me to a solution.
I wanted to install pixel experience on my Redmi Note 7 Pro. My phone was successfully unlocked by myself and no issues were faced. First I tried to install Peter's TWRP but then can't go the recovery instead every time I was booted to fastboot menu. I then tried to just restart by holding the power button to boot straight to OS but instead I was again back to the fastboot menu.
I then downloaded the latest global ROM "violet_in_global_images_V11.0.5.0.PFHINXM_20191022.0000.00_9.0_in_9bff00d97f" for flashing using xiaomi flash tool and faced many errors but resolving one by one and then finally ROM was flashed but it only took 1 sec to complete and nothing happened on the phone. Then I searched around a bit more and tried to use CMD to flash "flash_all.bat" directly and got the error "Current Device Anti Rollback is greater than this Pkg". What I don't understand is that if I am using the latest global firmware then how the current device has a higher arb no. ?
I hope that I am able to explain the situation for other's to understand.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try the command "fastboot oem edl" in cmd of adb folder when device is in fastboot mode. Ur phone should go black but dont panic. Now open miflash tool and u see ur device is connected in edl mode as COMX ( X may be anything 10 or 20 like that). Now try to flash the lattest fastboot rom for over device. Remember to check the option in mi flash tool to not lock bl again. But this will wipe all your data.

Thank you for taking time to reply to my query. I did what you suggested and got into EDL mode. Xiaomi Mi Flash picked up the device as COM10 but when I tried to flash it shows "sahara read end error with status:40" and nothing happens.
Any further idea?

I suggest you use the older variant of the MiFlash tool.
How did you flash Peter's? Did you use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"? That's the only right command.
Also are you sure you have the Indian variant of the phone? Another way to bypass anti roll back would be to clear all partitions, and then flash the required ROM.
Sorry if I'm not able to help you, I'll try having a look later on.
Thank you for your support. I had to go to the service center as no solution could be found.
Wait i know what happen... Ur phone has twrp and rom successfully installed don't worry about that. Just problem is ur phone has again locked the bootloader thats why its not able to boot os because it has twrp not the official recovery. U can verify that u have bootloader locked.. when ur phone starts when there is mi logo there will not be "unlocked" written in bottom.. see... That is very easy. Just try to unlock bootloader again with mi unlock tool.
And ur good to go. I got same errors on my friends redmi 6 pro. Service center will tell u to change motherboard as it cant be fixed with edl mode. JUST TRY TO UNLOCK AGAIN WITH MI UNLOCK TOOL.

Thank you for your feedback but the phone bootloader remained unlocked as when the phone starts there is "unlocked" written in bottom.
I got the phone back from Service Center. It's working fine but strangely still the bootloader is shown as unlocked in the start animation.

You can't. If you are at MIUI V12.0.5.0 or higher, ou need to flash in fastboot.
For EDL you need an authorized account for use EDL.
You need to go the service centre for professional assistance.

Good afternoon! I flashed my RN 9 with the version merlin_global_images_V12.0.1.0.RJOMIXM. Then I flashed LK from lk-V12.0.4.0.QJOMIXM. The result is this: the phone is loaded only in EDL mode. Now only carry it to the service center?

Just bypass the EDL authentication and flash the LK-V12.0.1.0.RJOMIXM.
I suggest you to flash the preloader-V12.0.4.0.QJOMIXM and then, you can flash in download mode and avoid the EDL authentication.

After loading the DA, after 60 seconds (timeout), it returns an error: Error: "EXCEPTION STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION". I am 100% sure that I did not click "format all". I have successfully bypassed authentication. I saw your post, it said that preloader_merlin-V12.0.1.0.RJOMIXM cannot load DA...

You need to flash using the firmware upgrade mode, it will erase userdata and relock bootloader.
And then, you can restore your backup.

The switched-off phone is not detected by the computer in any way, only EDL mode is possible, I tried to flash in the "Firmware upgrade" mode, the error is the same...

The good news: your device is okay, just need some attention.
The bad news: you really need to do more tests.
Did you try another older MIUI version?

Yes, I tried it. I have tried many different versions of the firmware, both for Russia and for the whole world. I also tried the engineering firmware. I also tried to install various drivers, SPFT. I was booting using Live WinPE. Conclusion: there is always an error that is described above. I think the phone's memory has switched to read-only mode. My phone is under warranty, I will take it to the service... I was upset... eh...

You just applied some change to the device, causing some brick.
SP Flash Tool is your best friend, certainly it can solve your problems.
Please help me, my phone comes with miui 12.5.X, I have unlocked the bootloader with "MediatekBootloaderUnlock" and I can use "MTK-bypas" to flash it using SP - TOOL, apparently the flashing is always successful, however the system won't boot , it only shows the android logo and I can't access the recovery menu, only fastboot. I tried with MIU 13, MIU 12.5.3 with the same results.
In the end I tried with MIU 12.0.1 (merlin_global_images_V12.0.1.0.RJOMIXM_20210520.0000.00_11.0_global):
1- Use EDL bypass and SPFLASH, it was successful, because fastboot now shows a different logo, but the system does not start and I cannot access the recovery menu either.
2- Use Mediatek Bootloader Unlock
3- Start fastboot and use: "fastboot flash preloader preloader_merlin--V12.0.1.0.RJOMIXM.bin" with apparent success.
4- I go back to SP-Flash and try to flash again MIU 12.0.1 (in theory it should no longer need EDL bypass), uncheck "preloader", I press download and connect my phone and it starts to turn itself on, if I press a key then I receive the authentication error.
If someone could give me a better guide on what to do, I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried formatting using SP-Flash and tried to flash by changing the preloader from "merlin_global_images_V12.0.1.0.RJOMIXM_20210520.0000.00_11.0_global" to "preloader_merlin--V12.0.1.0.RJOMIXM.bin", using "DA_VD171--3.3001 .2020-07-02020-07-14.bin" and "MT6768_Android_scatter--V12.0.1.0.RJOMIXM.txt" but I get the error, the screenshot is from this attempt.
Please help me

, 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

hardbricked realme 5 pro, No bootloader and No recovery

I tried to upgrade my phone to Realme UI 2 with dirty flash but at first my phone get into a bootloop, I tried to reflash Vbmeta but it made it worse.
I tried this guide about unbrick : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-to-stock-unbrick-and-fastboot-flash.3995285/ but not worked it just returned me to bootloop again.
I locked my bootloader accidently
My phone now only show this message and stuck till I press power button to turn off.
Is there is any way to flash stock ROM again with any tool ?
( MSM tool needs a username and password to work )
and I cannot find any QFIL files on Internet
IS there any way to re unlock my bootloader ?

Password of zip file should be 123
Although I don't have login credentials for msm tool. Paid to a telegram group to fix it.
Problem was I locked my bootloader myself with custom ROM [Following that warning while starting phone] and thought I'd bypass warning.

Just a quick question, did you uninstall/delete the file later? And heads up for anyone using this zip. It seems to be a keylogger. In the zip under firmware, you can see all keypresses along with window it was pressed in, in a file called keylog.txt.

Oh, Thankfully I didn’t need it later as I learnt my lesson and never locked bootloader. If I want to reupload zip, How can I remove it?
