Hello everybody,
i'm not new in custom roms, but i have a problem, i can't solve by myself:
I flashed an unlocked Mi5 to linageos 19.1 without problems.
I had the bad idea to relock the bootloader due to security reasons (fastboot oem lock).
Now the device is not booting anymore, i can just see the Mi-Logo flashing very shortly.
I can access fastboot, but can't boot into recovery.
I tried to unlock the device again, but the Mi Unlocker fails and prompts me to go to the developer options in Miui, which is clearly impossible.
Any chance to proceed from fastboot (fastboot oem unlock does not work...) ?
Thanks, Jan
congrats, you succesfully hard bricked your phone. please take it for a walk to the xiaomi service and pay for gettting it fixed. who told you it is a good idea to relock the bootloader with a custom rom installed ?

actually, i remember some banking apps complained about the locked bootloader. I thought i can lock/unlock it in fastboot mode, but looks like i was wrong.
I will give the MiFlash Tool a chance, but i have not much hope...
@Fytdyh: do you think, Xiaomi Service can fix it ?

Make sure if your bootloader is really locked or not using fastboot command
fastboot oem device-info
OR,
fastboot getvar unlocked
If it's not locked, you can simply flash your stock rom using flash tool available for mi. Before downloading a rom from internet, take note of your device info using fastboot command ,
fastboot getvar all
And if bootloader is really locked, you have to flash stock rom from EDL mode. You may have to remove back cover to turn on EDL mode. Your device has snapdragon chipset (Plus point). Watch tutorials about xiaomi edl rom flash - snapdragon. You can go to service centre. If they tell you that you have to replace motherboard, don't be agree. Tell them to flash rom using EDL mode.

looks like i am getting closer... located the two EDL points to short during PC connection, installed the Qualcomm serial driver. For a second i see the device appearing as COM6 but then it disappears again and is not availiable anymore.
Any hints ?
Thanks again, Jan

Flash stock recovery for your device via fastboot, then you should be able to boot into recovery or flash a stock system.img or your full stock firmware for your device, then unlock the bootloader(fastboot oem unlock) then flash TWRP and LineageOS again.

But he mentioned, bootloader fails to unlock. Actually it's hard brick(Even though he can boot into fastboot,the bootloader is locked. So nothing to do with fastboot).Without unlocked bootloader, flashing something from fastboot will hard brick his device completely (Will not be able to boot into fastboot). Or flashing will be denied

OK, next level reached. The phone is connected to the com-port and the correct driver is displayed.
The whole procedure is a bit unstable, i need to connect the phone several times, to get a stable EDL mode.
The Xiaomi Flasher recognizes the phone, but flashing does not succeed. Sometimes it's not able to receive a kind of Hello message, sometimes it displays "object reference not set to an instance of an object".
I also downloaded the QPST flasher, but have no plan, how to use it.
I'll keep on trying!
Thanks to all, who helped me to reach this point!

I found something new by watching this video. Maybe you don't understand hindi(India is our relative country, so I do).
Lemme explain,
This guy's xiaomi k20 pro phone hard bricked with a locked bootloader. He tried a lot to repair it(by deep flash or something idk). But everything failed. At last he came to this step of EDL mode. But xiaomi Edl mode flash requires an "AUTHORIZED MI ACCOUNT" . Xiaomi people pay to get authorized account license that normal users don't have. So the guy contacted with them on a telegram page called "Mod Edit: Name Removed" . They told him that they will repair his phone via teamviewer. All he had to do is pay some $ & connect phone in edl mode. Rest of the things were done by them. And his phone repaired successfully! (Watch the video from 4:00)
So In his video, he is telling to go to that page & contact with "Mod Edit: Name Removed" there. They take 20-25$ (depends on device). If you tell them you're from Mod Edit: Name Removed's video, they will give some discount

Yeah, I jumped the gun and posted before seeing all the replies in the thread describing their whole scenario, should've known better.
They obviously need a hardware approach, i.e. JTAG/RIFF/Octoplus or replace motherboard.

Thanks for research!
Meanwhile, i stopped using Windows due to all the caveats and switched to reliable Debian Linux on a different machine.
Again it takes 10 attempts to get into EDL Mode.
I used qdl (Qualcomm downloader for Linux) with all the firehose, raw and patch .xmls
Code:
sudo ./qdl --debug --storage ufs --include . prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf partition.xml rawprogram0.xml rawprogram1.xml rawprogram2.xml rawprogram3.xml rawprogram4.xml rawprogram5.xml patch0.xml patch1.xml patch2.xml patch3.xml patch4.xml patch5.xml
Output looked like some stuff was written, at the end i receive:
Code:
qdl: failed to write: Connection timed out
However, the phone is now dead as can be without fastboot working any more.
Maybe i'll give it another try, or get a used Mainboard...
Best regards, Jan

That's expensive. Anyway, it will be better if you don’t waste time on this. Just go for 3rd party help(From that official telegram channel or service centre). That will cost less

Thanks Tawsif for the good hints and links.
I don't really depend on the phone, so i will keep trying.
It's not wasted time, it's mainly learning new stuff and improving skills.
I believe, i'm not too far away and if it works, it's the best satisfaction.
If not, i bricked an old Mi 5.
All the best,
Jan

It was late and I was cleaning up my old OP5T, getting it ready to sell. I thought I had plugged in my OP5T, but I still had my OP6 plugged in when I ran "fastboot oem lock". Now it won't boot and I can't unlock it (I'm assuming because I can't get into the OS and "enable OEM unlocking" anymore).
Is there anything I can do?
try using search next time because its already been talked abput here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/relock-bootloader-t3798135
Actually, I DID read that. I didn't just roll off the cabbage truck. If you have time to post snippy replies (I also searched YOUR post history), then maybe you can point out where in that thread the answer to my question is. I could see if there was a thread where this specifically happened, or if it had been talked about over and over, but I couldn't find one. You do know this is a fairly new device, right? TBH, you're just being rude. To count on someone to hit the right search terms for a single thread where the info exists is just asinine.
1) I have not seen anyone with this situation on the OP6 yet
2) The OP5T had an unbrick tool
3) Most phones have a way to restore the OS to factory
If it can't be restored without calling OnePlus, then why not just say so? I'll answer for you, it's because you actually enjoy replying in such a manner. Grow up.
Have you tried the mega unbrick guide?

I don't think relocking your bootloader will disable the "enable OEM unlock" toggle in the OS. You may just be able to unlock your bootloader as normal again. You should be able to use the fastboot recovery method to restore your OS.

I tried several times. It throws the following error, which when searched for, always seemed to be someone forgetting to enable OEM unlocking in settings:
Code:
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
Success! I was able to get it to work with the drivers from this post. No other drivers worked. I also forced the COM port to the first available (in my case, COM1) vs the one it popped up on. Until I did that, I would just get a huge list of ports that had no device attached. Once I had it on COM1, it was the only device that showed up in the list. The first time after that, I got a "Sahara Communication Failed" error, but it went away after rebooting the phone back into EDL mode again.
Thanks for the help!

Hi buddy,
I tired to relock the bootloader and success in that but the phone stuck at fastboot mode, neither restarting to system nor to anything. Kindly help me if i can flash the stock rom in locked bootloader is so how.
THanks in adv
Did you try msm download tool ?
My OnePlus was bricked and it's bootloader is locked too, I have tried most of the steps like msm and those Bat files etc. But error is coming
"Remote : Flashing is not allowed in locked state"
Even tried that all in one tool that also can't unlock my bootloader
Now plz someone show me steps it will be a great help
MI Flash : http://bigota.d.miui.com/tools/MiFlash2018-5-28-0.zip
Firstly we download this rom : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16lQ-A175D_5DJU-YT4lbul5htgaNNw21
Then we take the device into EDL Mode and install Rom.
After installing the ROM, install the device again in EDL Mode.
We are putting rawprogram0.xml into the AntiTest folder.
rawprogram0.xml "https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TNlPjMTkyh7urJiRV9egzLnzDr27dlOL"
We are installing from MiFlash "clean all in a selected" way again.
Good luck when the device is opened Fake UBL will be removed wait 720 hours and the bootloader will be unlocked
Wow how did you come up with this? Seems persist.img contains the bootloaders unlock/lock status. Great.
Maybe you could just replace the rawprogram0.xml on the anti_test_note5 images folder with this
http://www.mediafire.com/file/btd8ddid8dbn3tc/rawprogram0.xml/file
I enabled persist.img on the default rawprogram0.xml so that you could just flash it once on miflash and not doing it twice.

persist.img has been known currently to contribute to several "curse" (s) those occured when you buy RN5 whyred China version which has been flashed to Global. Probably the seller broke this partition when trying to unlock the phone (carrier bundling unlock).
The curses come in different flavors :
1. OIIMIFA (correct one is OEIMIFA), no matter what you flash, using recovery/fastboot, it will stay as OIIMIFA. This is the earliest curse, at that time, still no ARP yet.
2. Fake ROM, overlay on top say it is unofficial ROM
3. Sensor not functioning, all accelero, compass, gyro and other sensors seems to be totally broken
4. Many other variant, such as OEIMIFA 9.5.17.0.0 (5 digit version); 9.5.6.0 but ROM show MIUI 10 interface (possibly already anti 4, but show anti 3 version ROM); 9.5.19.0 but still anti 3 (probably seller flash using firmwareless, my guess); JIAMIFA and many more. They keep evolving by natural selection :LOL
5. The worst of all the curses is the Fake UBL. Since all above can be cured easily by flashing persist.img, if it is UBL ready. But fake UBL get locked out, status show unlocked, no way to bind account, but it is still locked out in fastboot.
That's why the solution is to flash persist.img. AFAIK, it is not flashed by default. That's why during OIIMIFA curse, when users try so many fastboot ROM, nothing changed (because persist.img is not flashed)

Good. Nice to know man. Thanks for the detailed info.
[ask] Verified me account.
Hi,
I'm stuck with this fake UBL thing for quite a while now, and haven't found any solution.
Does it need verified / bind Mi account when doing the flashing part ? (the first and second time)

I haven't done it with the files provided within this thread. I would like to know if the flashing process needs a mi account because i haven't got one that bound to a ReN 5.
If the flashing process doesn't need one, I think I would like to give it a shot.

Yes, because to access the test point to enter the edl mode as discussed, you would have to open the back case and unscrew some panels covering it.
I found it quite a hassle the last time i tried to do it, especially when opening the hard back case.

Confirmed working with a bit of tinkering for:
redmi note 5, internal 64gb, ram 4 giga, red box, rear camera 12mp+5mp
my experience:
1. Enter EDL mode - Battery plugged in
2. Flash Anti ROM with original rawprogram0.xml (I accidentally chose clean and Lock)
3. unplug the phone, and replace rawprogram0.xml with the patched version (persist only )
4. Enter EDL Mode again, flash ROM clean mode. This time, the flasher app only flashed persist.img. Finish a lot quicker
5. unplugged the phone - disconnect the battery (lazy me)
6. Turn on phone - Automatically Enter Mi Recovery 3 - Said MIUI Rom not compatible, FAILED
Then...
7. Download Fastboot ROM from : https://en.miui.com/thread-2340434-1-1.html
8. I chose latest fastboot ROM: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.2.0....EICNFH_20180918.0000.00_8.1_cn_7af050826b.tgz
9. Extract the ROM, then replaced Firehose file from this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/fix-arb-bricked-device-qfil-t3841780
Repeat step 1 to 6, this time , for the China Stable ROM
Again Stuck in Recovery...BUT... I waited..and the phone restart by it self, and after a very long boot, The phone finished boot
SUCCESS!
Then...
Binding device to Mi account, SUCCESSS
Power off phone, enter fastboot
Trying to unlock using mi unlock, FAILED
NO PHONE NUMBER ASSOSIATED
Login to : https://account.xiaomi.com/ and complete the data
Then RE Unlock
FAILED AGAIN, I have to wait 360 hours since the last unlock attempt
No problem, I can wait ,
I'm Relieved.... FAKE UBL IS GONE
This Miui Version can't be installed
I follow your step, but when i turned on the phone, it boot into recovery mode "this MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
Please help.

I follow your steps, but it always end up in ACK could not match.
My bootloader is blocked and for my luck with no account linked, so i can't unlock BL.
Anyone know how fix this problem?
I bought a t mobile one plus 7 pro - version gm31cb-on 9.5.10 before I read about the hassle it can be compared to an unbranded phone. The bootloader is unlocked.
I tried the msm tool to go to international version but it got stuck on parameter preload so I decided to try to root and get rid of the tmobile flash screen later.
long story shortened, the phone is stuck on the warning screen.
Pressing buttons, I can get it into fastboot but adb doesnt see the phone to flash/push anything.
If I try to boot into recovery, it sticks at the warning screen.
can I somehow get adb to see the phone in fastboot mode?
do you know if i need a certain os/file so i can get past the parameter preload with msm?
i followed the steps in the msm tutorial.
if msm sees the phone and it gets to parameter preload does it mean it is not a driver issue but maybe the wrong software?
Any advice is appreciated.
thank you for your time and expertise
Marc
through fastboot
I am using the universal fastboot and adb tool and trying to flash boot twrp and start over
current error: failed remote recovery a no such partition
after fastboot --set-active=b
same error
update 2
somehow, after simply trying over and over i got twrp on partition a
i think i will stay here until a kind member can direct me to an img that will work

I bought a t mobile one plus 7 pro - version gm31cb-on 9.5.10 before I read about the hassle it can be compared to an unbranded phone. The bootloader is unlocked.
I tried the msm tool to go to international version but it got stuck on parameter preload so I decided to try to root and get rid of the tmobile flash screen later.
long story shortened, the phone is stuck on the warning screen.
Pressing buttons, I can get it into fastboot but adb doesnt see the phone to flash/push anything.
If I try to boot into recovery, it sticks at the warning screen.
can I somehow get adb to see the phone in fastboot mode?
do you know if i need a certain os/file so i can get past the parameter preload with msm?
i followed the steps in the msm tutorial.
if msm sees the phone and it gets to parameter preload does it mean it is not a driver issue but maybe the wrong software?
Any advice is appreciated.
thank you for your time and expertise

You just need to update Qualcomm drivers.

doing so now...
thank you for the help.
I somehow got it up and rooted.
will msm work while rooted or mess up root?
I have a gm1915 wich is not listed in the link for the drivers? any thoughts?
These should work. As for MSM tools use the international version.
If you can't shut off device, hold power + Vup for about 10 seconds without being connected to a power source. If your fast enough, keep device plugged, and just press Vdown, to boot recovery.

not sure where you are at right now, but i installed a wrong os version (android 10 on my phone with pie on it). It would only boot into fasdtboot screen no matter what I did or tried. Could not get adb to recognize it, had no twrp or rom installed correctly. No way to fix it, could not use MSM tool as phone had to be able to be shutoff, which mine couldn't. never recognized it due to that. tried drivers to no avail. not really many answers out there, til I found out about fastboot roms.
check out this page: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
* IMPORTANT: in above link, remember to only download the OS version that fits your phone previously. DO NOT try to update your phone to a different version using that method. Also this method will NOT work on a branded phone, so if your phone is originally a T-Mobile phone then unfortunately this is not a solution for ya.

I hope this helps. The Fastboot Rom solution worked for me, it saved me from throwing my phone in the trash. I ran the bat file and it did the rest.
Hi,
so with this Tutorial i was able to unlock the bootloader of the Blackview tab 8.
but i just could not find any way to flash magisk.
- "fastboot boot patched_img.img" and "fastboot flash boot patched_img.img" gave me "fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x'"
- "fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img" was able to flash the patched_boot.img (a twrp i tried to port as well), but then i was stuck at blackview logo (SOFTBRICK)
- SPD Research Tool R24.0.0003 was able to flash patched_boot.img, but same stuck at logo (SOFTBRICK)
The only way i was able to unbrick it, involved opening back cover and disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it again.
then put research tool to download mode and flash stock img
I'm hoping for some advices, what i could try to get magisk flashed
- Tab8 Firmware (DK_SC9863A_P30_5G_10.0_Tab8_EEA_20201022_V1.0)
- SPD Research Tool R24 (there are 2 other tools but afaik research tool is the only one, where i can choose which partitions to flash)
best regards

Hi,
I've got a tab8 too (eu) and I have the boot_patched.img generated by magisk manager but I can't unlock the bootloader. I used the tuto you gave (your first link) too.
Could you explain what you did to successfully unlock your bootloader please?
Thanx
Bests regards
I was trying to backup the stock ROM of this same tablet, however i must have incorrectly installed SPD drivers or somehow had uninstalled them, Research Download said "failed user cancel", then boom when i tried to switch it on it was not turning on nor charging. I have been trying to charge it for about 4 days, no dice, it does not charge still, nor turning on.
I must have soft bricked it, because it gets detected by the PC as "SPRD U2S Diag (COM5)", but when i try to flash Stock ROM i downloaded it either says " failed user cancel" or gets stuck at "checking baudrate".
I don't know what to do, would opening it and test point it make a difference? Because some guy on Youtube was able to flash his SPD phone after test pointing it, as it was facing "failed user cancel"
Another question, which key combinations did you use when flashing your Tab 8? Vol - and Power or?

I did it like described in the tutorial i linked. did you use linux? maybe in a VM or so, to use the .sh script. AFAIK it doesnt work with windows
also dont forget to activate "OEM unlocking" in dev options

i dont know about test point actually. you can open it pretty easily and just disconnect battery. then connect again, use sdp tool and start the flash process, then press vol- and hold it while pluging in usb cable. thats what i do, if im stuck and cant do anything else.
regarding button combination, i'm not sure. usually i use adb reboot bootloader.
Also for the Blackview Tab 8 you need to extract keys from your vbmeta.img and sign it differently, also every other .img you wanna flash, like patched magisk boot.img. i successfully rooted mine some time ago, but i flashed some magisk modules and something went wrong and i ended up bootlooping. now im trying to root again.
somehow i cant flash the vbmeta.img. i dont remember if i did anything different last time.
all the stuff i did to get it rooted, i have taken from that hovatek forum.
edit: uploaded Stock Rom Images and stuff like for example a magsik patched boot image, which got repacked with android image kitchen then signed and repacked again with avbtool here
PS: dont have time to invest to this atm, also i just read that there was a update sometime this year which i didnt get, so maybe that changed some stuff.
I was considering buying this Blackview tablet and before I ordered it I got in touch with the Blackview home people in Hong Kong. They were extremely UNHELPFUL AND EVEN RUDE (not unusual for the chinese). As far as I am concerned this mob does not deserve to be supported and having a product that is so difficult to do any tinkering with precludes it from my list for sure. It is so time for consumers to DEMAND that any product that does not give explicit instructions as to unlocking and flashing is not supported. Why is it not possible in this day and age for this to happen. OK I know why but you get my meaning.
This is an untouched copy of the recent update for our devices. It has no file extension from TCL, but I'll leave info on how to download the firmware originally below, with it mirrored to Android File Host. Can just open this file like a Zip file

I have tried patching the Boot.img.p with Magisk, but it doesn't recognize the file format. Renamed it to just boot.img, still won't patch

Completely new to this phone. Nice grab! I was able to use your download and 7z zip to extract boot.img from boot.img.p.
I tried to put this file into magisk but no luck.
Have you been able to unlock the bootloader yet?
I tried the fastboot OEM unlock and fastboot flashing unlock when in bootloader mode but it doesn't work.
With someone else's help I was able to locate where the boot.img is located on the phone but unable to extract it.
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot
Backup boot.img via terminal one-line command
I am trying to make an image backup of boot. The script must work on any android. I think on any Android the boot location is /dev/block/platform/???/by-name/boot My command line find /dev/block/

I did the same thing you probably did to attempt to patch it with Magisk, no luck. I haven't had the time to try further recently. Enabling OEM Unlock and attempting to unlock the bootloader just leads to needing an unlock code, much like bootloader unlocking a Moto device.
I contacted TCL support a long time back when I first got the phone and they were 100% not willing to help with any USA based TCL 10 Pro unlocking. The customer service worker literally said they weren't allowed to help with US based devices. There's no downloads anywhere for the firmware either, which I think goes against Google's agreement to android on a device, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Android 11 for the TCL 10L has been being pushed in italy. This a large file about 2 to 3 GB. I really hope when we see it on our phones you are able to pull the link from logcat as well. This should be the entire rom. All we have now is OTA patch files. I've tried so many things. I have all drivers fully working even the Qualcomm 9008 Diagnostic driver. I can put the phone into EDL mode.
To put phone into EDL mode you need usb debugging enabled and type in secret code into the dialer *#*#3424#*#* which enables the diagnostic port via toast notification. Then turn phone off, hold both volume up and volume down and plug phone into PC. You will be prompted with the Download mode screen. Hold volume up to enter EDL.
There are ways to backup in EDL mode, I'm just not well versed in commands.

I'm wondering if I can pull some social engineering off, maybe be like "Hey my phone reset itself, can't boot it, but I read online something for a samsung phone called Odin and Fastboot and such? Some how you can install the system that way?" See what they say/link me to

I'll check it out. If its possible to view the code in a tool like dnSpy or extract files from the exe with 7zip, its possible to use with our device, i'm sure as long as the commands are similar
Well you're in luck as it is just a .bat file program simple notepad++ will do.
I will be following this thread with intrest, root could be the deciding factor in me purchasing this device.

Have had the phone for less than 6 months and I'm already having LCD issues. When the display is off, just sitting on a table or something, it'll flash white randomly like its getting an electric signal at random. Its nothing I did. I've never hard dropped the thing. Everywhere I go pretty much is carpeted except work. If manufacturer warranty doesn't cover me, I'll stop recommending the phone to people
I actually switched to an Essential Phone recently. Way better experience, way cheaper too. I have around a dozen of them anyway and have been selling em on swappa (dunno if I'm allowed to say that here, but oh well) lol
