Stuck in EDL mode , "hello packet error" , unauthorized to flash. [BRICK NOTE 7 PRO]
[URGENT] Redmi Note 7 Pro stuck in EDL mode. I was trying to flash stock Mi rom using TWRP on my rooted device to unroot it but idk something went wrong. I had cleared Delvik-cache , cache , Data and Internal Storage. I formatted my data to de-encrypt my Internal Storage too.Now i cannot boot into recovery / cannot boot into download mode. From googling a little i know my phone is in something called EDL mode. My PC detects my phone when i plug it in but nothing in my phone works, absolutely nothing. Screen is blank since 2 days and i think it's bricked.The only thing that works is power button , it just power-cycles my phone. I am trying to flash a stock fastboot rom using MiFlash tool which is able to detect my phone but it keeps saying that i'm not authorized to flash this rom , . Has anyone found themselves in a similar situation? Please help me!
TL;DR - Bricked Redmi Note 7 Pro , Stuck in EDL Mode , MiFlash - "hello packet error" , unauthorized to flash the rom.
Any help will be much appreciated i really need my phone
Hey man, i don’t think MIFlash works with EDL mode without an authorized account.
Do you have an authorized account?

nope , don't have. Do you know anyone who has it?
No, you have to pay to get an authorised account. It's a pretty complex and sketchy process. Take it to your nearest service center as soon as lockdown ends. Or find a way to get an account like that online.

You are getting EDL mode which is good because you can actually flash stock ROM through EDL mode, most of the time it is required to touch test points physically in order to enter into EDL mode. You'll need Qualcomm QDLoader HS-USB Driver, stock ROM image and MiFlash. Let me know if you need any further help.

Nope I said when I connect it to PC some times it connects in edl then again get disconnects not recognized by computer. And another thing mi flash does not allow to flash in edl without authorized I'd and password. So i think the only way to reach nearest service center after lockdown ends. Because its not possible to open back cover alone at home. Sad.....
Ok so my phone again get back to life. Yesterday as nearest center (30km away) opens and i reach there first they flash it through edl mode. But the screen is still black but phone boots up. Then they notice that flexi cable of LED screen have a cut. They said local repair shop did that. And i have to change combo which overall coasts me about ₹3600.
Moral of the story - if u hard bricked and not able to do anything at home never give ur phone to local repair shops they may damage the things and situations get worst. Just reach to service center they flash the rom which just coast ₹150. Now not gonna flash anything for some days. horrible experience!!!.
I was on Crdroid and wanted to get back into Miui since there was weekly miui 12 version now. Downloaded it and flashed it but it would not boot. I remembered on poco i had that i needed to flash latest miui andro 9 before flashing latest miui andro 10 for some reason so i got back into twrp and did it. After reboot it went into some sort of boot loot and i lost any recovery and fastboot. Cant get into edl for that matter also. Anyone has any suggestion?
Can you elaborate a bit more, when you try to boot into fastboot with the button combination, does it work?
Do you get any indications when trying to turn on your phone?

Button combination gives me blank screen and revovery gives MI logo and just that until it rebots and stays like that in some loop. I can get into test mode after opening it to try QFill flashing but i forgot about account authorisation thing. I do not have any type of service center in my country that wants to deal with this. Issue is probably due to anti rollback policy in 2s. So i need solution to flash somehow thru qualcomm port but aparently only wth that account that has authorisation.
Thats where i got till now. Spent a whole day also at 4pda trying to find solution but nothing there worked for me

Oh that's unfortunate! I think that in this case you will need to find someone with an authorized account that will flash it for you remotely. There have been some people around here offering that service for a small fee but it might be worth paying as that might be the only way to fix it.
Same thing happend to me, first time i tried using custom rom. i dont know what exactly happened. i think its have something common with anti-rollback feature. I sent the divice to OFFICIAL service center.... I told them "use mi flash tool and authorised account to flash fastboot rom in edl" These OFFICIAL trained technicians... ehm idiots... change whole mother board.... atleast they count it as warrasnty repair.... there is one guy on reddit who succesfull unbricked his device via "shady bussines" (there is also contact on reddit page)... some guys offer xiaomi unbrick services via teamviewer. you can give it a try: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/ftix9v/shady_services_unbrick_with_mi_authorised_account/ EDIT: its last reply reddit (hope its allowed to post links)
note: you can put yr device in edl mode by pressing powerbutton. im not sure if its pressing or holding. (yr phone need to by connected to pc, then mi flash detect the phone if all drivers are instaled, it should be shown in "windows device manager" as PORT named "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008")
if you dont have authorised acc. this will happen https://imgur.com/a/oJVpKEl so you need someone with authorised account who will unbrick yr phone via teamviewer [Sorry for my bad english]
Ijust dont understand why xiaomi dont allow user flashing in edl mode... or just make harder to brick phone... i had oneplus and i never bricked it. bricking xiaomi is just super easy thank to their stupid anti-rollback and other b****its. i will never use custom rom on xiaomi again. i will dont buy xiaomi again
Did you try the MI Flash app? ...try to fastboot and check if mi flash works
Also try fastboot(combo-buttons only) and see if you can see the phone (cmd -> fastboot devices) ...if you see a device then you are good to go
If you have a fastboot miui rom you can use my guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/help/weird-behavior-boot-loop-random-t4086703
It's like using MI flash program but doing it manually - if mi flash gives you issues or else
P.S. CMD MUST be with administrator rights of course!

Hello!
Sorry, I don't know vell ENG, so I use a translator.
Problem with Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro phone (Global Update 12.0.6.0.RJURUXM) + device unlocked
Unsuccessfully decided to flash the phone... I got the POCO X3 PRO and POCO X3 NFC phones mixed up a bit. I downloaded the firmware from the POCO X3 NFC and put it on the POCO X3 PRO via TWRP recovery. Then I tried to return everything as it was, but I couldn't. Accidentally via the TWRP menu formatted the System + partition Cache + Data and a few more sections, I don't really remember. At this stage, the phone was still functioning, turned on and rebooted in the recovery - TWRP menu. Then I tried to return the old recovery menu and connect Fastboot, but I couldn't. The phone turned into a brick. The phone does not turn on, does not work, the "POCO" logo does not appear, there is no way to go to recovery and Fastboot. The battery charge at that time was 46%...
HOWEVER, my computer sees the device as an emergency communication channel through the COM4 port - Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port
I'm already desperate and don't know what to do or what the instructions are... I don't want to open the phone and put it in EDL mode (if it helps at all)
I contacted a person with a service account, tried to restore the phone through the application "MiFlash_1212" by bypassing authorization and obtaining KEYS and access (I did not quite understand this point and how it works).
As a result, the firmware was able to run and the device began to be requested. But the following problem appeared, which I do not know how to solve, and that person stopped helping me (he has no time and simply does not want to, even though I paid him with money)
I read a lot of information on the form. Many tips and instructions did not help me.
What do I need to do? Who can I contact for help?
I wanted to get ROOT access (Magisc + YouTube Vanced + remove ads)
PS : But first I need to bring my phone back to life...
"I downloaded the firmware from the POCO X3 NFC and put it on the POCO X3 PRO via TWRP recovery."
-Why you put x3 nfc firm on x3 pro?
I guessed that you would ask about this moment.
It was my mistake and I thought they were the same.
And when the phone did not turn on properly, only THEN DID I REALIZE that I had downloaded the wrong files.
But what should I do?

As they say : "Hope dies last" =((
Chances are you will still be able to unbrick it by playing with fastboot and using normal miflash
For the firmware go and search on mifirm device code vayu or poco x3 pro download the fastboot rom it should be in .tgz format
Unzip it and then put it into miflash l, switch the phone to fastboot mode by pressing volume up + power button at the same time
Hopefully that would do the trick or you can just go and ask xiaomi repair center since this case should still be within warranty
Contact your nearest Customer Support Center. They will fix the problem
Hassle free, just go straight to customer service.
If you still want to work on this, fine.
Its a stretch but is fastboot function restored?
If yes, download the fastboot image (not recovery) of your phone region, skip the miflash application and run the flash_all+lock script. The .bat file.
Make sure you get the right version for your phone and your region.
From the logs, wouldn't really be surprised if you still have no fastboot access.
Looks like the guy scammed you.
Sure he indeed have the right edl authentication but he only did his job halfway and bailed as your phone are still loading in edl mode.

The phone did not turn on and fastboot and recovery do not enter any mode. The service can accept it, but it is clearly no longer under warranty and the price can be set very high.

This is likely because you might have format some important part as IMEI number. Like this guy said: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/no-imei-and-no-wifi-plss-help.4276823/post-85014473
In this state, no matter what you do, you have to pay.

The most safe way is Xiaomi repair support center. High charge, but for sure a working phone.
my poco x3 pro global stable(VAYU) is stuck in miui log i tired to flash it with magisk method now its stuck ther. any one can help me with it

Straight to service center you go then )
It should still be within warranty becuz they only refuse hardware error not software brick
Beside it shouldn't cost much tbh
i did this mistake with my brand new galaxy s6 when it came out but the only solution i had was going to repair shop and the dude used a hardware tool called octoplus and he flashed it and worked but i lost my original imei adress but it worked i did search for you i found the tool you need is ufi box google it contact them and see if you get one or find a repair shop by the way i repaired that s6 with 10bucks
unfortunately, your only option is service centre as they are the only one who can get access to phone via edl mode and flash what was formatted
Just to be sure, I asked customer support and they said the following... "By installing custom ROM, Recovery, and/or Rooting your phone, the warranty is not void. However if your phone bricks while installing a custom ROM, then the warranty is considered void". They adding insult to injury for you

Hello there!
My phone was bricked because I was flashing xiaomi.eu ROM in fastboot mode using cmd, and the flashing process was stopped midway.
I am able to enter into EDL mode only and only by using the test points, my phone is recognised as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" as it should and also appears in MiFlash.
But when I try to flash a ROM (I tried global and Chinese) it gives me this error: "object reference is not set to an instance of the object".
I believe I have all the necessary drivers and my battery is probably long dead since the phone has been bricked for about a month now.
I read a bunch of articles describing similar problems but none of them gave a clear answer.

Thank you for the quick reply!
I was guessing I needed an authorized account but MiFlash usually clearly indicated when you did. Something like "Authentication error". At least I have a solution!
Also, the thread you linked; the guy had symptoms that are exactly the same as I have. Unfortunately, he hasn't replied to me yet. According to him, he managed to get the phone unbricked using QFIL but didn't describe how. But thank you for bringing it to my attention!

Some old phones can be flashed without authorization but the k30 pro / poco f2 pro cannot.
Hello!
I have exactly the same problem as you (phone bricked after xiaomi.eu fastboot update) but i don't manage to enter in EDL mode even with testpoint... What did you used to do it?
Also, how much did you pay for the auth account perm?
Thanks.
Try flash it by UMT

Hello!
I manager to fix the phone!
Entering EDL mode should be possible using the test points.
Make sure your battery is disconnected.
Connect the USB to your phone but not to the PC.
Then short out the two pins.
I used tweezers to short them out.
While shorted plug in the USB the the PC. The PC then should detect the phone as a COM-PORT, you need the drivers if it says bulk device. It has to be USB 9008.
Now you need someone who can flash.
Mod edit: Paid services TG link removed.
EDL are Qcom's special access protocol. You should be able to flash via Qfil or Qpst suite, not Mi tool.

Respected sir,
Soft bricked locked bootloader Redmi 4 has same error in edl mode. Initially it was successfully flashed in edl with miflash few days ago to global fastboot rom Santoni_10.3NAMMIXM. It was working properly. Then It was showing latest update available 11.0.2NAMMIXM in setting, I downloaded and rebooted then after sometime It redirected 'mi recovery 3.0' instead of restarting the mobile automatically. Then i choosen to 'reboot to system' by volume buttons. Then it stucked on mi logo. Now i can't enter in "mi recovery 3.0". But by volume buttons i can fastboot, and In edl by shorting test points. Both are detecting device in miflash tool.
Fastboot mode flashing gives me "critical partition error"
EDL mode gives "object reference not set as an object" error in miflash tool this time.
Dear sir any suggestion or resolve for that.please help.
Thank you sir

Have you tried re-flashing 10.3NAMMIXM?
Send me the Miflash log (starting with Miflash "version") in private messages.

But on the same version miflash tool, same computer, same rom file, this time it gives error: "object reference not set as an object"

Hi all
I had just finished installed Lineage and twrp succesfully to setup this phone, but I then discovered that the unlocked bootleader was preventing me to install Netflix.
I then tried to re-lock it via "fastboot oem lock" which apparently worked, but the side effect was that my main system is now not booting at all.
And when I've then tried to unlocking it again, it just fails, so I'm currently closed out.
Right now I can only access fastboot mode.
Any idea if this can be saved?
thank you
It can be saved but you need to use EDL mode (Emergency Download Mode). This mode is locked by Xiaomi and you Need an authorized account to use It.
You have 2 options:
- Pay a man that have an authorized account and can flash the stock rom from EDL.
- Go to an authorized Xiaomi center.
Thank you. Luckily that was not the right answer.
I've managed to put the phone in EDL mode via hardware, after opening it up.
After bypassing also the lack of helo message error, I've finally manage to flash with Xiaomi Flash tool and regained access to it.
