Redmi 6 Hard brick - Xiaomi Redmi 6 Questions & Answers

Hey i got my Redmi 6 hard bricked after updating to Pie version while still having Oreo Recovery. I was in system then the phone rebooted and was vibrating for like 15 hours with a pause for 1 second every 15 seconds. There are 2 signs of life: 1. LED when charging 2. When holding power button i can pause the vibration for a second time.
No matter what combinations of Vol or Power i'll use, it will still vibrate-loop.
Edit: Solved, big thanks to djpsycho666.

Hey, could you help me out. I am having the same issues. Thanks!

It may not work for you, but for me dismantling the phone and unplugging the battery did the trick

Like what does disconnecting the battery do? Is it not enough to unload it to the end so that it behaves as if it were not there? In my opinion, you need to have an authorized account, which is absurd because these are our phones and we don't have them, only a few people have them, it was my last phone xiaomi.

It keeps draining the battery under 0%, you can notice the vibrations getting weaker but never stopping, after replugging to usb vibrations will regain full power again. In my opinion it acts as CMOS battery. In my case my battery was so undercharged that the phone took 5 minutes until it lighted up

Disconnecting the battery does nothing. There are still only vibrations, no fastboot or anything else just black screen and vibration

Hello Noob question - what is an authorised account? I've seen people talk about it when I was searching how to unbrick my Redmi 6! I'm getting an error 0xC0060005 in SPTool, and I think it's because I don't have an authorised account? What is it? I have my bootloader unlocked btw.

Let me guess you don't have a fastboot? just vibrations? error 0xC0060005 means that you do not have an authorized account. This account can be accessed by authorized services and only a few users can find one in this forum and one on 4pda. And they will help you, but I don't know for free. Since August I have been looking for a way to bypass error 0xC0060005 and find no solution.

Do all Xiaomi mediatek devices need an authorised account? And how come some versions of SP Flash that I can find online do not include the Mi Account signin window? Can you link me a proper SP Flash with signin support

I think all xiaomi phones without a fastboot will require an authorized account. This is due to their privacy policy. Even on Qualcomm processors, edl mode is blocked. Read here https://miui.blog/redmi-note-5/fix-arb-bricked-without-edl-whyred/. Even it did not work for everyone. Although I did not read about all the phones but certainly before buying another one I will read first if you can pick up a phone from a hard break without an authorized account. Here you have a splash toot https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x_aw56afOJGUsxu-oM-YSvNaOsEOF0NL/view I am not the author of this. Unpack it by clicking 5 times because it is deep. The original splash tool does not contain the "mi" folder because it is not only for xiaomi phones. DA & AUTH are on the hovatek forum but they don't give anything because we don't have authorized accounts. If you find a solution, share it.

There is https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x_a...aOsEOF0NL/view splash tool and scatter for redmi 6. and https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SLRIBwBBj3zGtnuWneQoqnTV8hc24aGB/view for redmi6a.

Tested method to repair bricked Honor 6

Some time ago I bought a Honor 6 bricked by a firmware upgrade.
I done some reading, I asked friends but I couldn't fix it. I opened a topic here and many people tried to help me. Nothing worked... I contacted some experienced people from this, and a Romanian forum, but no success. I was trying to fix it for 2 months now.
Eventually, I came across a solution made by DC-Unlocker Team.
I bought some credits to be able to run the solution and with a few mouse clicks my phone was repaired. Now it works perfectly. I do have some questions to ask about several issues in Honor 6, but let me describe how I fixed my phone with this solution.
I would like to underline that I am in no way related to the DC-unlocker Team.
The software can repair most of the Honor firmware problems:
Bricked phones, bootloop, stuck in fastboot mode
It can write full firmware update.app in fastboot mode
Can flash phones with locked bootloader or FRP. (No need to get the bootloader unlock code)
The whole procedure is detailed here, but let me describe the steps which I took. I also attach few screenshots of the process.
1. Make sure, that you install Huawei Hisuite (for drivers), or Universal ADB driver.
2 Enter fastboot mode on the phone and connect it to your computer. Remove the SD card if there is one installed in the phone.
3. Check if computer detects the phone is fastboot mode, run fastboot devices command
4. The firmware repair process will need 15 credits (which will cost 15 euro). You can buy the credits here
Credits are deducted immediately, but you can flash the same phone any time you want for 72 hours.
5. After you buy the credits, download the software client here
Supported models and features here
6. Start the program. It will ask your credentials for the DC-unlocker server. You receive those credentials when you buy the first time credits.
7. In the DC Phoenix software, select fastboot mode, select "App files" tab.
8. Carefully chose the update.app for recovery. Be careful, not to flash a different hardware variant (in a H60-L12 flash only H60-L12 firmware and so on). Not doing so will probably break your phone forever. The program does not check compatibility, nor the phone in this mode.
9. Open the update app by clicking right end of the line "Update file".
10 Click "Update". Program will unpack the update.app and will start to flash all the chosen img packs.
Here I got really scared, because first write was unscuccessful, I got this message: "PTABLE partition UPDATE ... FAILED
I thought that I threw away my money. But program managed really well: "Activating Backdoor: DONE"
After this step, everything went well: "Writing device finished OK"
11. Power cycle your phone. It should start normally.
12. On the dc-unlocker site they say: "Then you need to repeat flashing, but now in upgrade mode". I did not ran this step. I made a full factory reset and started OTA upgrades. Phone is now version: EMUI4.0.1_H-60-L12_6.11.1.
It has Android 6, EMUI 4.0.1.
At one moment I thought that is better to go back to a previous version and flashed an older tested firmware, it worked without any problems..
Although my experience is limited to this phone only, I recommend this solution. Please feel free to ask, I will try to answer any questions.
So the software deactivates itself after 72h?

Hi
The recovery process starts only after validated by the server.
Validation occurs when you have enough credits on your account, or if you already paid for that phone not more than 72 hours ago.

No, there are no refunds, but if you have a phone with only firmware error and you chose the right firmware, there are big chances that the program will recover your phone.
But if security damaged, you will need factory file.
method 2 can help in 99% cases, but only if there 100% compatible file.
They have only H60-L04 factory file.
Repairing by this method, will erase phone security data (simlock, IMEI and other numbers)
You will lose all numbers!, IMEI will be 0000000000000000
You can repair missing numbers with third party software, like HCU client
You can use DC-unlocker credits on HCU client, software will require 8 credits for repair service.
Thanks. When there's no other solution it might be handy.

I don't see this device on the supported phones list.
You should contact their support to confirm if the program works with your device.
They are very kind and helpful. If you need a contact email, I can send in private.

It seems that you did not understand me.
If you read this topic you will learn that in some cases, flashing back the 4 img's will not help.
In some cases you cannot access 3 button recovery or TWRP (although you flashed it correctly), to be able to do a complete flash write.
This was the case when this program (which you call a scam!) proved a life-saver.
I am very happy that I could restore my phone because I like it very much.

Yep, the SW works OK ..
First it extracts the IMG files from the UPDATE.APP - same as Huawei Update Extractor. Then it flashes all IMG files (+-) using fastboot - but here is the catch.. it uses an undocumented feature of fastboot:
fastboot.exe oem backdoor get
And then generates the necessary unlock file/sequence which it then feeds to the phone using:
fastboot.exe flash slock XXX_Unlockcode.bin
So indeed it does work - I've used it, you can go between EMUI3.1 and 4.0/0.1 no problem - if we knew how to generate the unlock file for the "backdoor" - we would be all set However we don't and the generated file changes with every "oem backdoor get" request..
But 15EUR seems almost reasonable for this (I'd prefer 10EUR hehe) - otherwise, we would need to use parted and dd the necessary partitions which is more dangerous and we don't have a large enough community of users to dump the necessary partitions..

It worked! Fail on normal flash the It issued that damn BACKDOOR install and now i'm back!
Got only 2 "problems":
1. I got 2 IMEI CODES
2.I can't see all my internal storage:
I tried a wipe internal storage + factory reset with emui rec and with twrp, but nothing. TWRP say something like: Can't wipe ..data/... No such directory
Inviato dal mio PE-UL00 utilizzando Tapatalk
I will think about this issue, but a quick idea is: you could try a full firmware update from SD card with the 3 button method and a factory restore after.
Happy to hear that buddy... I threw away a honor 6 about two months ago, was stuck in fastboot for more than a month, if had it, I am sure, this would have fixed it.:crying:
Another Honor 6 saved with this method, this time a H60-L02
I guess you really threw away your money, because you can extract the update.app with huaweiupdateextractor( free ) and flash the cust.img system.img boot.img and recovery.img with adb and fastboot. But if you had the “Command not allowed error“ when you try to flash, even your software wouldnt have helped you, because it basically does the same as i explained above.

Edit: the unlock bin can be easily made by editing one current .bin, by replacing it with the current unlock code.

help,your device is corrupte,will shutdown

My phone is nokia3.1plus,ta1104
i got this notification:
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be truster and will not boot. Your device will shutdown in 30 seconds." And it's actually shutting down all the time without system load! =(
I can enter Download mode only. Platform tools also see my device (latest platform-tools_r28.0.1-windows). I couldn't access recovery mode. When i hold vol.+ and plug in USB, that warning shows again
did u unlock the bootloader or root your phone?

If the warning doesn't have "g.co/ABH" URL displayed, but "please check lock status", then your FDP (not FRP) partition is corrupted, and you may have to replace the motherboard. Understand?

After 30 seconds, what happens? Does the phone boot? I think I agree with @thisbearisdrunk...that it's normal if the bootloader is unlocked. Where are you getting "g.co/ABH", FDP,and FRP from? I don't see those anywhere in your screenshot. Not that I am capable of helping you in any way, but I am curious.
If the phone boots and runs fine after the 30 second warning , then it's just the manufacturer covering his butt since you unlocked the bootloader.
If it, in fact, doesn't boot like the screen says, then you need help beyond what I can offer. Find the correct firmware and reinstall it, I guess.

It just shutdown all the time, cannot boot. Reinstall stock firmware already,all passed, but the phone still shows that warning, after 30s it just shutdown, cannot load system.
How did it get to that state? Did you unlock the bootoader? Try rooting somehow? If under warranty, get it fixed/replaced.

Realme 5 Pro Realme UI recovery problem

hi I cant post in the other thread so i just posted here, by the way I've installed the latest system update yesterday which is the Realme UI 1.0 but there are so many bugs, I tried the q2p and p2q but the realmeui recovery can't seem to find the files (on internal storage only) so I can't proceed to downgrade, all it shows are random letters and numbers, anyone here willing to help me? I can't stand the bugs and the draining of my battery with my realme 5 pro now thanks.
This recovery has many bugs. We can't use internal memory for flashing any thing.
I always copy rom, gapps, magisk in the sdcard.

I just called Oppo's service centre here in Australia and they said they will do it if I send or walk in the device.
In my case, I'll wait to see if there is any alternatives as I don't want to spend $25 just for shipping, I'm in another city.

I've tried installing the stock firmware from sdcard but through normal recovery you cannot downgrade the version. It's only meant for upgradation!!

btw have you figure out how to downgread to ColorOS 6 exccept go to service center?
The only way to downgrade is to go to service center
Its less headache than searching and doing random stuff
Its free of charge just bring in your proof of purchase or a warranty card or imei sticker

[Solved]Need help with a locked device

Hello! My device wifi just stopped turning on, and I did reset networking config but that didn't solve the problem, so I reset It. Now I have a device with no networking at all, and now it's also locked because I didn't sign out of my xiaomi account. I wanted to unlock the device and try another rom to see if that solves the problem, but I can't do that since I need first activate the device.
About the device:
-No root
-No developer options enabled
-Wifi doesn't toggle on
-Sim card is not recognized (already tried other ones, in both slots)
-Xiaomi assistance doesn't want to help me at all (neither the seller btw)
I hope you guys could help me. I'm very frustrated because it's a recent new phone :c

I cant unlock it :c
But before messing with this lock, I tried to test wifi but without success...
As mentioned in a thread, an update could solve the problem, but I need to unlock the bootloader

By EDL, I mean a kind of brute force to flash ROM. Used mainly when hard bricked. As you don't have unlock permission you have to use this method to flash Factory ROM. You can find Instructions in YouTube videos for "Redmi Note 6 pro EDL flashing guide Test point method"

I've just bought a smartphone repair toolkit from Amazon, and I'm waiting for it because I don't have the needed tools to open the device and do the EDL by myself. It might get here around next week, and when done, I say if that worked.

I tried the EDL test points, but the device doesn't vibrate and turn on :c
EDIT: I was doing it wrong, I need firstly to connect the pins, and juts then connect the USB cable. I was doing the opposite hahaha
Windows Device Manager does recognize it, but Mi Flash still doesn't recognize the device on refresh, giving the error "length cannot be less than zero". I'm doing some search.

Actually, after flashing a new rom, after 12h the wifi issue returned, and I used this tool: https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/
I used the option to flash an official rom, followed the app steps, and after the download finished, it couldn't be installed because of a bug So I repeated the steps, but instead of downloading again, i used the already downloaded rom (it is in the app installation folder). Then, success! Has been 2 days with no problem
About the auth itself, even by using EDL, after the reboot, I was prompted again by the mi account... So if you don't have the account, I'm afraid I can't help you... :c
I used this tutorial for the EDL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WfOprRVQww

OnePlus 8 IN2010 Super-Hardbricked. Need information!

My device is OnePlus 8 IN2010, but currently I'm on OOS13-F15 IN2015. Everything was working fine without any issues. Last Sunday, I found link to a full ROM F15 of EU variant, then I extract the ops file into fastboot images and flash to the device. The flashing was successfully without any error msg. But then, wen reboot, the device won't turn on again till now. I tried many way but its even not recognized by Computer, no port, no EDL nothing at all.
So I really need if anyone used to face this situation pls share the information on why is it so and is there any solution for the current state of the device.
Thanks in advance, guys!

It takes several tries while using different ports and cables.
Spoiler
Press and Hold Power Off and Volume Up button and release when the screen goes off. Now your phone is switched off. Now to enter the EDL mode you need to press and hold volume up and volume down buttons at the same time...and then connect the mobile to Windows while still holding the buttons. Done. MSM tool will detect your phone.

Something along the way when you flashed the ops file that set the voltage too high on LPDDR5 which might have caused the official bootloader to kill the motherboard beyond MSM.
OnePlus uses same signature to sign all four firmwares, OP8, OP8T, OP8Pro, 9R all use identical signature, which means that PBL (Primary Bootloader) will load XBL (Secondary Bootloader) no matter which one you choose to flash.
Arguably, the reason why the phone died is because LPDDR5 RAM uses lower voltage compared to LPDDR4X, and just because there's no code to prevent XBL from setting voltage too high on LPDDR5, it leads to RAM getting overvolted and dying.

This I know, but it applies for 8T more than OP8 since op8 only have one LPDDR4 variant, and also in the ops extracted image, there was only 1 xbl and xbl_config image, none xbl5. Thats why I feel weird.
You're looks like Chinese and I'm pretty sure you're. Why not you just make a call to service center or bring to him and they'll fix it in minutes.
Even you can help us for remote season.
By the way op8 have way bh force goto edl

Besides, I manually flashed it using fastboot cmd-line, not using MSM. So strange!

At this point and juncture, it wouldn't matter which method was used to flash the ops file. Something along the way set the voltage too high which possibly damaged the motherboard.

Basically, its the only way for now to explain the situation, but to be honest, Im not so satisfy with it. Point is, I'm not trying to recover the device for myself since personally, I considered its ded ))). But also I want to help all the information which may related to the issue, from there I will have clues to find out what was the reasons that killed it, then share to the community to prevent the same issues since even that Im quite experienced with OP devices but this is the 1st time I face this so it may be the new issue which comes with OOS13 or else.

The device is most likely dead if it cannot enter EDL mode. There have been reports of issues entering EDL mode when using a USB 3 port, so trying a USB 2 port might be another option.

Tks mate, but I already aware of the USB 3.0 issue hence I always use USB 2.0 . And as I mentioned, I already accepted the fact that its dead ( more than dead )) ) Just I want to figure out what was really happened that make it dead so that we can warn the others since I guess that this comes from the smt inside the Ofiicial Oneplus OTA package.

There is an interesting write-up regarding your issue.
Not to mention that there is the possibility of corrupting the Param Partition that will cause EDL to not function under the MSM Tool with the old param mismatch.
