After experiencing help from the fantastic meizu community i have decided to make a guide for unbricking this device. This guide is aimed to help people with M3 or M3s that cannot boot. Please only follow these steps to unbrick your device
I am not responsible for bricked devices and exploding phones due to following these steps.
By following these steps you agree that it is you, yourself that chose to follow these steps and I will not take any responsibility for your loss.
Before Starting
1. Can you boot ?
No. Go to Question 2.
Yes. You have came to the wrong place, but feel free to finish reading.2. Do you see the flyme logo when you boot?
Yes. Goto Stuck on Flyme Logo
No. Go to Question 33. Do you see the Meizu Logo and phone reboots over and over
Yes. Go to Testing
No. You flashed a wrong or damaged preloader, chances of unbricking LOW, Go to Sp Flash Tool
Testing
1. Shutdown your phone by holding power button (if you can)
2. Turn on phone with power + volume up until vibrates
I see a flyme logo & recovery options, Goto Stuck on Flyme Logo
Still rebooting, Continue

Questions & Answers
Q. Why is my phone unrepairable if i can get to fastboot?
A. By not being able to access fastboot means the preloader partition is damaged and SP Flash Tool will not work.Q. Why is my phones not bootable.
A. It could be caused by many factors but mainly caused by failure in updating firmware due to no battery or incorrect flashing of ROM.Q. Why is it so hard to recover meizu phones
A. Meizu phone uses the new mt67xx which is not supported by MTK droid tool causing problems for users to obtain the scatter file, and also the locked bootloader leading the users not being able to recover the devices the traditionally using fastboot.Q. I have a m3 note can i use this method?
A. Yes if anyone gets there hands on the mt6755 scatter file for meizu. But if not NoQ. HELP ME IT'S NOT WORKING!!!

Any display? or just black?
What rom did you install? If official you might be able to get a replacement through warranty.
Try SP Flash Tools, instruction in the first post. Chances are low but test if it detects after pressing download.

i used DA_PL.BIN and got the same error, maybe bootloader is locked thats why this error?
The error shows when your device started before the software can flash anything. SP flash tools works with locked bootloader, maybe your preloader is 100% dead

Hi,
SPFlashtools fails to connect dead bricked Meizu M3S
Connecting to USB system recognizes as
MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port (COM7)
But other ports including Preloader are not
Do I have any hope to recover phone?
After following these steps, one by one, no matter if all went OK, my phone (m3s) won’t boot and it seems it is completely dead now. It can’t turn on. Power button looks unresponsive. What should I do? Is there any help?
many thanks for this guide @bluecub1st . The problem I have with my M3s is that it boots perfectly fine and works well, i just cannot enter recovery by using Volume + and power, and flashing a new firmware from inside Flyme OS just reboots the phone. I can enter fastboot though no problem, but i tried to do the SP Flash tool method listed and I just get this error message:
ERROR : S_TIMEOUT (0x412)
Any ideas how to fix this and get my recovery back? Really need some help so i can flash flyme 6...
i got error from sp_flashtool
ERROR : STATUS_SEC_DL_FORBIDDEN (0X0020004)
help me please sir
ERROR : STATUS_SEC_WRITE_DATA_NOT_ALLOWED

I flashed stock fastboot rom (YU OS) and it booted. After that, I did "fastboot oem lock" and phone not booting. fastboot not allowing me to flash another rom too.
I googled about this and it says I need to enabled USB debugging from dev tools. But since phone not booting, I am not able to do this.
Can anyone help please?

Hi all,
TL;DR
CC9 Pro (bought in China) stuck in MI Recovery 3.0 and reboot loops back to the recovery screen. Device is locked with the global rom. There is red text on the recovery screen which reads "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device." Does not matter which Mi account I use with Mi Unlock tool, it always gives an error. Cannot flash anything with the official flash tool either because the phone is locked.
Background of phone:
I was given a Xiaomi CC9 Pro Premium edition phone as a gift on 9th April 2020, which was bought in China (the person not realising it would come with Chinese apps and not work with google properly). I have spent the last 2 weeks working out how to unlock the phone and flash it with a global rom (Mi Note 10 Pro global stable rom), with eventual success. I tried installing apps and when it came to my bank app, it told me I had a rooted phone (it was never rooted) and that it would be risky to use the phone in that state.
What went wrong:
I attempted to relock the bootloader using adb tools in command prompt "fastboot oem lock". This then sent the phone into recovery mode with red text down the bottom stating "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
Current problem:
The phone is stuck in a recovery boot loop and I am unable to flash anything or erase any data to the phone because it is locked now. When I try to use the Mi Unlock tool I receive an error message stating a problem I cannot fix because the phone cannot boot into the system.
"Please add your account in MIUI Settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status."
I originally unlocked the phone using my first Mi account I created, however when I tried to login to that account on the phone after unlocking it wouldn't work. I then proceeded to make a second Mi account which is the account currently linked on the device.
I am unable to check or change the MI ID on the phone. When the phone boots, it goes into recovery stating "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device." There are 3 options: reboot, wipe data and connect with MIAssistant. Reboot loops back to the same screen. Wipe data does not help. Connect with MiAssistant does not help either as I don't think my device is supported, it's too new.
The weirdest part about this is when I check on Mi Cloud, both the new and old account are linked to the device...
Help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have the same problem with my Mi CC9 and I can go to fastboot, how to solve it?
Did you try MiFlash ? https://www.xiaomiflash.com/ and download original ROM for you phone, same version what was before bootloader unlock
How to Flash Fastboot Firmware with Miflash Tool
This is a program bringing system alterations. So before moving to the process make a backup and try saving all the existing data. And then, proceed with high attention.
Step 1: Download the correct Fastboot ROM on the Windows PC by double-checking the compatibility. Then extract and get the workable extensions on the PC
Step 2: Download Xiaomi Flash Tool Free on the PC and unzip
Step 3: Move to the installation through the exe file from the folder
Step 4: Continue to “Browse” by entering the tool interface
Step 5: Then attach the ROM file
Step 6: Switch Xiaomi device into the Fastboot mode. So turn off the device and simply take a long press and hold the keys of Volume Down and Power keys
Step 7: Then connect the device to the PC with a proper USB cable which is in the Fastboot mode
Step 8: Now you can enter the tool interface and check whether the device is connected
Step 9: Then select the most suitable flashing option from all three “Flash all”, “Flash all except storage” and “Flash all except data and storage”
Step 10: Hit flash from the top of the window and wait for several minutes
Step 11: Once the process is done you can reboot and finalize the process successfully.

Hi @veimus I´m in the same situation stuck in the recovery mode... fastbootmode cant load. in my case in redmi 9A--- do you have any solution ?
See, i am new to all this tech stuff so i wanted to try rooting my device.. So i picked an old device which i had at home (this one) and tried rooting it with the help of this thread : [ROOT][GUIDE][NOOB-FRIENDLY]Unlock Bootloader+Root+Stock Firmware for Lenovo K8 Plus | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
i did everything till last step ( ie write fastboot flash boot_patched.img)... then it said open up your device and install magisk manager..
so to open it I typed fastboot reboot (idk why i did that)
and from then on my device starts up says orange state, your device is unlocked, your device will boot in 5 seconds and it boots says same message over and over again.
PS- i did try volume down+power button to enter AP recovery flash mode and when i go to recover mode it says no command rest all commands repeats the same loop.
I also tried using adb but now it says device unauthorized..
I think i told you all everything there was.. So is there a way to save my device?
Hi,
I was trying to root my phone Realme 5 (rmx1911) so that i would be able to install custom rom.
So as i was doing that i tried flashing twrp and vmeta files but the files didn't flashed correctly, So i tried again multiple times.
But in that process i accidentally make the phone stuck on the logo that comes when restarting the phone.
But after that is how managed to go to recovery mode and after that the phone keep restarting to fastboot mode and i am not able to select the bootloader mode from the fastboot mode.
If anyone has any experience in this field, Please help me i am stuck at this for 3 days.
Thank's for understanding!
I was also facing this but now fixed....
After trying magisk my mobile goes into continues bootloop into fastboot mode, before I use any command it reboots again....
So my mobile battery goes to zero and when I plugged into for charging after few minutes my mobile stuck into fastboot mode instead of rebooting....
and then I use PBRP to flash stock rom...
Now my mobile is working properly but unable to use any type of screen lock.
easy to fix
