[HELP NEEDED] Bricked Tulip: EDL Mode only. Xiaomi won't help.

Hi,
I have somehow bricked my Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro (Tulip) in a peculiar fashion.
It happened when a firmware flashing went downhill due to a faulty cable.
My device is now totally unresponsive. Pushing the power button does utterly nothing. There is no System, no Recovery, no Fastboot.
I managed to connect it in EDL mode (my PC sees it as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" device).
With the correct drivers and after deactivating Windows Driver signature enforcing, I've been able to connect it with MiFlash Utility and receive the hello package.
UNFORTUNATELY, I cannot proceed to flash the new system image, since my Xiaomi Account does not have FLASHING PERMISSION.
I can't find any way to avoid this check. I mailed Xiaomi and they answered they can but won't help, since "it's my fault the phone is bricked".
Does anyone know how to flash in EDL mode without a flashing-enabled Xiaomi account?
Please, help. It's a fine phone, I'd hate to lose it when i'm just a mere security measure away from restoring it to perfect functionality!
Thanks for any help.

Funny I was just reading an article about this yesterday. There is only one way to fix this and that is with an authorized account. Sadly Xiaomi gave out a few account authorizations but won't do it anymore. Yet you may still be in luck if you open your wallet. The prices I saw were not very high $18-35USD. One of the guys here on XDA will do it remotely but I don't remember who. I found the article on mi-globe.com and will try and find it and link it.

Did you find the solution

I found a person who had edl permission. Unfortunately due to xda rules we are not allowed to give out contact information because they charge for the service.

Try qfil application
Qfil application might help

Need help! No fastboot!

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!

Hi Guys,
got a big problem here today. after installing on orangefox a miui11 stable rom suddenly flashlight went on and it stopped to install it... i was like WTF? so i have go to reboot to the recovery and my mix 2s DIED.

2) no fastboot (black screen on vol down + power key)
3) no recovery (black screen on vol up + power key)
4) bootloop on miui logo
any idea?

EFS deleted so no IMEI/signal & Bootloader locked

I got hold of this perseus which has no mobile signal because previous owner deleted EFS partition by mistake. There is no IMEI, that's why it's not registering on the mobile network. Then again, its bootloader got locked by installing latest stock MIUI 11 global through MiFlashTool. So, I can't get to the point of repairing the IMEI with the stock recovery.
When I try to unlock bootloader it says to authorize the device from developer option, but that authorization requires SIM connectivity. Without sending SMS or without using mobile data it can't authorize the device and it won't let me unlock bootloader.
So here I am stuck with a flagship level phone without any signal. Everything else like wifi & bluetooth seems to be working fine.
Any suggestions from the great minds of xda?
Any method to write IMEI with the bootloader locked?

I've been looking for two days on how to solve this. Seems like there's not a lot to do unless I can unlock the bootloader. Even the EDL mode is locked. I turned to Miracle Tool for Xiaomi but their website says servers are currently not working. Then there's Chimera Tool, but it's too expensive to buy for just one phone.
Then I found out there are two more ways of getting to EDL mode. One is, opening up the device and shorting JTAG pins to boot into EDL, which is commonly known as test point method. And the other is, using an EDL cable which I can easily make at home.
Now I'm going to make an EDL cable to see if I can get into EDL mode successfully. If I can, then I will be able to repair the IMEI with other softwares. Although I don't have a QCN file for the MIX 3 yet, I'll concentrate on getting to EDL mode first.
:fingers-crossed:

EDL cable method don't work on these newer phones anymore. And these are also EDL-locked so test point method needs an authorized xiaomi account to access using EDL. If you google "Xiaomi needs a better way to unbrick its devices instead of Authorized Mi Accounts" then you'll find an excellent article that points out the issue in this new security system. Because of this my phone is now network-dead and can never be fixed from Bangladesh.
If anyone finds any solution to this problem in future please do let me know here. Thank you.

Question POCO X3 PRO device (brick)

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.

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

redmi go in bootloader. any ideas what to boot into it?

yes:
my desktop (cause im in bootloader mode i'll need to use it) is artix linux with kde. sadly i cant install on it adb/fastboot and other drivers due to lack of systemd and empty repos so will do it probably from a random linux-based bootable usb...
my mobile is (as was in title) - xiaomi redmi go - european version.
what means ? my mobile have encryption after removing system what makes me unable to boot things... for the now i can still boot stock ROM. although i wanted to remove all associations with google in system (all google apps, bugs caused by removal etc...)
any ideas what i should do with it? wanna have it to tomorrow cause we use our mobiles at work and my current mobile got "marked as over outdated" by boss so i cant use

why noone ?

This same things happen with me also but You need a USB cable to connect your phone to PC. You need to download ADB and Fastboot Tools to your PC and Extract it First of all, you need to enable the developer option and activate the USB debugging on Xiaomi Redmi Go. Now activate the OEM unlock status on your Xiaomi Redmi Go DinarGuru.com

this i actually know. i have one heavily modded lg so im not a newbie. its more about "encryption unsuccesful" broked roms leading to non-booting state (bootloop) etc... nothing from xda surely doesnt work, yep

surely nothing from : https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/techyminati.8245761/ works. was trying loads of times always bootloop. recovery posible to load but then tends to not make factory reset and lock in "encryption unusccesful", and thats worst... im in europe but have global version btw...

dead chat ?
