Hardbricked and unlocked bootloader. Please helo - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello. I have a redmi note 7 pro that died after updating to version 10.3.13 global version. it seems that this version came with antirollback. the phone came with the bootloader unlocked and I had installed twrp and root on it, and I didn't manage to associate it with my account. after updating, I tried to install an older version because I could not install twrp but unfortunately I left the check all and lock checked. so I opted for a dead phone with a locked bootloader and that didn't let me install an older version than 10.3.13. unfortunately the phone I think is the Chinese version and had an unofficial version installed by my global seller. after installing version 10.3.13 it tells me that this version of miui cannot be installed on this device. can anyone help me revive him?

Since the bootloader is locked now, the only option you have is to take it to a service centre where they have an authorised account which can unlock and flash.

[Help] Flash Stock Rom HONOR 6X

Hello guys, can somebody help me?
I own a Honor 6x (BLN-TL10)
When I bought at 2017, I flashed my firmware to a different one cause I didn't wanted to use the chinese version, so I upgraded or downgraded to that firmware (BLN-C900B131) since that change, my device always recognize as hi6250, and when I try to install the original firmware on my device, It fails, on the update proccess appear that message, "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version." cause I want to upgrade to 8.0 oreo, my phone right now is at android 6.0 emui 4.1.
Can you send the link of update file that you have used? And a screenshot of build number?
I'll attach 3 screenshoots, one of my EMUI and Android at the moment and the firmware's that I tried to install
The BLN-TL10 firmware that was the same that came with my phone when I bought

Stuck on EMUI 9.1.0, how to update it?

Hi,
I'm having a Huawei P30:
ELE-L29
build number: ELE-L09 9.10.260(C431E4)
EMUI : 9.1.0
The phone pretends that the phone is up to date.
Could you please tell me how to update it?
Thanks for your help!
I had a similar problem with a new phone bought for my mother and resolved it by installing HiSuite on my PC. Then using HiSuite the phone detected a new version and installed it.
After that first update, disconnected the phone from the PC and the phone was able to detect more updates by itself.
I hope that helps!
Hi andr01d3,
I used HiSuite too, to backup and restore my backup of the phone. I didn't notice any notification about a new version tho.
If the phone of your mother was initally stuck to ELE-L09 9.10.260(C431E4), could you please tell me what is the last version she got with the updates?
check out this guide. it will work on the p30 version too:

After applying only one update with HiSuite by clicking the System Update button, I don't remember the version but it was another 9.x release, I was able to update the phone without issues using the phone over Wifi up to latest 10.1.0.191(C431E27R2P5).
Why didn't my Honor 8A update emui 10? Always stuck in emui 9.1.0
Help me please

Buggered up a stock ROM install from PC

This is my mums phone that when i got last year i now remember installing TWRP onto and maybe a custom ROM.
Every time she got a security update it would land her in TWRP and she didn't know how to exit so i decided to put her back to stock...
I followed these instructions https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2 and used MIUI ROM Flashing Tool to flash cereus_global_images_V11.0.5.0.PCGMIXM_20200916.0000.00_9.0_global_41e1db1e83.tgz and have attached logs.
When i flashed, it had the default option 'Clean all and lock' and selected which i didn't notice as the window was off the bottom of the screen.
Im now stuck on a MI Recovery 3.0 screen on the phone and in red at the bottom it says 'This MUIU version cant be installed on this device'
It is a global version phone and the firmware is also global version so not quite sure whats gone wrong.
Hopefully ive not made too many cockups and its fixable.
Thanks for any help that can be given!
Ive educated myself somewhat on this now and am still confused. I flashed a global ROM to a global phone so as i understand things it shouldn't have bricked even though i accidently locked the bootloader?
Checked my IMEI and it is Chinese version and not Global version as advertised when i bought

This MIUI version can't be installed on this device

So I was trying to flash a Chinese rom to an Indian rom on a Chinese Redmi 7 Pro, however after flashing it, the phone went to the Main Menu with the message "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device."
Is there a way to fix this?
Any help is much appreciated!!

Question Using wrong boot .image?

Booted up a oneplus 9 pro boot image, it fixed my phone being stuck in fastboot because I didn't have stock image.
Now updates don't work.
Oneplus 9 T-Mobile, stock rom, pro boot image, unlocked bootloader, unlocked sim - Any help would be appreciated.
Was thinking MSM tool but unsure what one to use.
I'm in a similar situation but I can't get out of fastboot. What OnePlus Pro boot image did you flash to your phone and what firmware are you on?
I gave the pro boot.img a try and it worked!
I grabbed it from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-keep-root-oos-12-c-48.4252373/post-87096189
I want to back a few things up before tinkering anymore but will report back on how I try to fix it.
Thinking ahead, did Oxygen Updater not allow you to change your device back to a OnePlus 9, download the software update, flash and revert back?
Glad you could get your phone fixed...
I wish my system updates worked though lol ugh

Are you using Oxygen Updater or the native update tool?
If the latter I would try the former.
Oxygen Updater - Apps on Google Play
Skip staged rollout queues and update your OnePlus device ASAP!
play.google.com
No I'm on a t-mobile oneplus 9 with android 12.
Soooo have you tried Oxygen Updater?
No it doesn't work for my version of this phone.
Thanks though
I wish I had a copy of the original boot image of my phone, T-Mobile variant boot.imge I'm guessing and for the non-pro version. I'm assuming that may fix my issue with the T-Mobile system updates and my incompatibility app issues with Google Play...

If your bootloader is unlocked and Google Play is telling you that your device is not supported, it's because of the unlocked bootloader most likely. Are you successfully passing both basic and CTS safetynet profiles?
Not sure sry... Only few apps are incompatible.
This is what the OnePlus updater shows.

I think your problem is that your bootloader is unlocked and it needs to be locked in order to pass safeynet. More and more apps are not allowing for detected unlocked bootloaders in which makes safetynet fail.
Wish I knew how to relock it... Little reluctant to use a random site's information... Xda probably has information on relocking it, wish I had a link to a good post.
Could it possibly brick my phone if I'm using a pro boot image an try to lock bootloader?
Any advice or help would be much appreciated thanks for your time.
I will follow-up more later as I'm walking out the door. I'm not convinced that we are on a different or should I say, incompatible boot.img. When I get home I need to do some research to see what is actually different in the boot.img when being compared each other (C.61 boot.img on OP9 and OP9 Pro).
Back history for anyone following along... I was unlocked, rooted, Google Play certified and on C.48. I upgraded via OTA, no reboot and chose an inactive slot. It did not work and soft bricked slot a. I lost root, was on C.48 still but on slot B. I successfully upgraded to C.61 but didn't have root. I could not find a good boot.img or patched_boot.img. I tried a stock OP9 Pro image and that got me working. That same user provided a patch img too so I tried that and obtained root as well.
Soooo what is the difference between the boot images on C.61 pro and non-pro OP9 models?
Stay tuned....!
Thanks I'll keep checking back on this
Unfortunately the difference is that the pro version is available to tinker with and the non pro version isn't. Sorry to state the obvious.
My phone so far is working fine on the OP9 Pro kernel. C.61 is rooted and Google Play is certified. All my previous Magisk config is there as well and modules. I'm not sure what the difference between the kernels are at this point but also not a kernel expert either.
Once the next full release comes out for OP9, I will swap it out.
@Harley1979 I got your PM and will follow-up with you there.
