First, let me apologize for the rough guide I'm going to deliver I'll clean this up in due time.
1.) Let's get some files downloaded. So here is a guide by @deadman96385 that details Qfil and the actual process of flashing.
2.) Let's incorporate that into my guide
* You'll choose the programmer from my TWRP folder
* You'll choose the rawprogram0.xml from my TWRP folder
3.) Time to flash....just press Download there's nothing else to do.
4.) Boot into recovery...do I need to explain how?
* Warning* Do not flash Magisk requires a separate boot.img I haven't made it just yet.
So with all this, what is the next step in the process for custom rom installs? Waiting on mine in the mail so I can begin looking into everything as well, sadly I picked the att variant so it looks like things will be more difficult for me.
good work @Unjustified Dev And @deadman96385

Roms won't be ready any time soon this was just a preliminary step. And what do you mean by more difficult? I have the att version.

From what I've been reading up on, it had looked like the AT&T variant was more difficult to get through than the others. I could be wrong though. But thanks for this breakthrough!

I don't know about the other variants. Each firmware is signed so I can't test their Roms, but I used their updated 8.1 proprietary files to build Lineage.

Does going the old "data wipe then flash boot img without encryption" not work anymore? If so then my bad, been a while since I've worked with a phone that is locked down with signed firmware. Was looking into doing that right now.
Edit: And I don't mean via flashboot because first boot should cause it to resign
AT&T

Hello!
Thank you for the first ray of light Please, can you answer some questions?
1) As far as I know, AT&T version of Z999 has locked bootloader. Have you tried this TWRP with AT&T Z999 (not T-mob, China or Russian)?
2) As far as I know, AT&T version of Z999 has non-standard EDL mode and until now there was only one tool capable of flashing it, "Uni-Android Tool" for $49. The usual QFIL doesn't see 9008 COM-port on this phone. So, how does your TWRP gets flashed? Or is the included "firehose" an already patched one for AT&T Z999?
3) If all of these works, can root be (some day) obtained with locked bootloader?
I live in a country with GSM 900\1800, UMTS 2100 & LTE B3 & B20, so right now my Z999 is useless as a mobile device & works only as a small tablet. The root is totally necessary for me to unlock additional bands & I have faith in You
Thanks once again,
WBR - Draco.

1.) I have the att variant
2.) The all have edl mode I sniffed the firehose from uniandroid and had a friend reconstruct it to get it working. And the usual qfil does see the phone. You're more than likely in dfu mode and not edl. Uniandroid can send the phone from dfu to edl. You can adb reboot to edl to get in 9008. The issue was the programmer was incorrect.
3.) Root can probably be obtained I just had no interest. I'll look into it later if I have time. Also I'm not sure if you can unlock more bands never looked into that before.

Thanks for the answers! Wonderful news, the ability to flash AT&T phone with QFill changes everything. As for the bands, I've seen a lot of articles on how to unlock Qualcomm phones with NV editor, and had success with several Nexus-es & LG's. Let's hope that after (if...) root is obtained, one of the methods works. It will literally breath the new life into this phone & will make it useful everywhere in the world.
WBR, Draco.
Just an FYI, only running this didn't work for me, I changed the img to recovery.img and used the firehose with the stock files, I edited the boot though to remove secure boot.

So I tried flashing my bricked Axon M with the provided firehose file, and using provided B37 firmware, but I keep getting an error associated with "userdata.img is 0 bytes!" and if I delete the file, I then get an error stating "userdata.img could not be found!" any ideas?

Do you have spaces in your username? Put firehose programmer file inside the firmware folder, and put the whole folder in C:\Z999 (without any spaces or long filenames). Run Qfil as admin. And never flash phones from DESKTOP...

Hello Friends, this is my first post, however, I have always used this forum as a guide along the phones I have had.
A few days ago I made a Hard Brick to my Mi Note 10 Pro, this while trying to load the Xiaomi EU Rom. I have seen many tutorials where they indicate how to revive it, without success since most are focused on the phone turning on in Fastboot mode, mine does not turn on in any way
I managed to make the phone recognize the PC in EDL mode but when flashing in Mi Tools it asks for a My account, when entering it the software tells me that my account is not authorized to carry out that transaction.

Fastboot is an Android protocol that allows you to modify the filesystem through a USB connection to the smartphone, however, in my case it does not enter that mode, only EDL

Yes, I already tried Mi Flash, but it seems that you need an authorized account, here is the image of the software:
You could try QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader). I personally haven't needed to use it but it's designed to work with all Qualcomm Android devices.

It seems to work, I have been trying for several hours to find the right .mbl for the MI CC9 Pro without success, I will continue searching and inform you.
Thank you for the support!
It looks like Mi Tools need to bind your computer to your device in order to give you authorization, i think you need to ask for authorization in the Official Xiaomi Support Forums.

You need to download a fastboot ROM, I checked and they were all there although in the video there is only one XML file but in the MIUI fastboot ROM there are 5 but I was able to load them into QFIL so I think it would not be a problem.
Have a look here you will find all the tucana ROMs
https://t.me/s/MIUIUpdatesTracker?q=#tucana
The last fastboot ROM was 11.0.9.0. you will need to extract the .tgz file which will give you a .tar file which you need to then extract again to get the files needed.

Yes, in fact I tried all the xml files and their possible combinations without success.
The file "programmer patch", in this case comes in extension .elf and in the videos that I have seen is extension .mbn, Additional the first xml that is loaded is also called rawprogram.xml in the firmware for my Note 10 there are none file named like that.
I will keep searching and if I find something, I will post it for users who have this problem in the future
this is the error that gives me in all cases
.elf and .mbl are both supported by QFIL so should be fine. I have 6 .XML, rawprogram0.xml to rawprogram5.xml. When I press the load XML button I can click and drag and select them all at once. It then prompts me to load the patch.xml once again patch0.xml to patch5.xml and drag and select all. They should now all appear in the Rawprogram and Patch window. Unfortunately I can't get into EDL mode to try flashing but it looks like you are already in EDL. All the best.
Well, after many days of searching without solution, I decided to take it to the technical service, who flashed it in EDL mode with the UFT box.
The cell phone is walking and without any anomaly.
Thank you all for your valuable help.

I've bricked my friend's redmi note 7 about a month ago and encountered the same issue as I flashed miui global rom into a chinese version via miflash tool with option 'flash all and lock'. She said she bought the device not from an official mi store but instead from a distributor which I think had flashed some modified chinese rom to appear as global one. So the device was in locked bootloader state, and after turning it on it always boots up into mi recovery. After done so many hours researching on the internet about how to bypass this lock bootloader and flash the right version of firmware in edl mode without authorized account, I've successfully unbrick the phone after flashing the firmware with a patched firehose file for redmi note 7. Try it mate. Hope it helps u. Cheers.

That's samsung for you, once you've upgraded Binary version there's no going back.
As for the brom mode, samsung has locked their phones out of that mode. I don't know if accessing it through access points works but you could try to see if it can help
I tryed to downgrade via TWRP flashing baseband and BL
Now my A12 is DEAD and i dont had a box to repair it (after flash i see the security error screen and flashed again the Binary 3 BL once odin tell me passed the phone doesn't booted again)
I just wanted to get the imei working because the firmware on the binary 3 (11 and 12) android system uses all my ram memory trying to get the signal working
F*** *** Samsung and mediatek next time i bought an exynos or qualcomm variant

That's samsung for you, once you've upgraded Binary version there's no going back.
As for the brom mode, samsung has locked their phones out of that mode. I don't know if accessing it through access points works but you could try to see if it can help

How'd you do it?
Technically since I've always known that I can't access brom on my samsung I've never tried to understand what you can do with it.

I was only planning yo use the brom mode to use the MTK META Utility which is developed by Mediatek themselves for fixing imei to see if I can fix the imei issue with it but I couldn't enter brom mode and I'm afraid of opening the back cover

its relatively easy tbh. just be careful around the volume buttons, but everything else is okay. there arent too many cables to rip

Its easy to open but be careful with the power/fingerprint sensor flex i think the testpoint is near of the charger flex in the mainboard (i see youtube tutorials to access to Brom mode and preloader)

Hello,
If you're going to be performing a downgrade, you'll have to have the SCATTAR firmware with all of the old loaded certificates and tokens. Flash is going to be performed via BROOM (fused ROM code) useing SP_FLASH_TOOL.
Regarding the IMEI issue, that I'm not able to help with. And it is pain to work with, maybe you the MODEM file could help bout dbout it. You might have to go diging through firmware sites.
Thats it.
Stay safe,
Krypton.

SM-A125U Multitool Kit (Root/TWRP/Unlock/Unbrick)
Here is a toolkit of several tools ive collected and put together for the A12 in a single pack to help see through all the clutter and chaos of this forum, i have an A125U (converterd to a-125w) so thats all i can confirm working 100% but im 99%...
forum.xda-developers.com
Maybe this can help you only you need to download a firmware (don't try to flash a binary 2 or binary 1 firmware if you do that you phone will get a hardbrick and the sp flashtool will give the 0xC0020029 or the anti roolback error)
Pd: dont forget to change the date to 25/05/2022 to get the mtkmetatool working

You generate it your self
To unlock bootloader on these the easiest way is to convert it to an a125w xac by flashing the a125w bl files. Unlock bootloader with seccfg. Then flash ap, cp, and csc from a125w with odin and when it boots up it should show as a125w. Also in download mode it shows the same. My imei says unknown but i believe thats caused by unlocking bootloader so if you relock it after converting it should go back to normal. Playing with mtk modem tool to rewrite imei. Tried using xposed imei changer but didnt seem effective.
Hey!
I just bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G. As it is a chinese phone, the seller flashed the global ROM himself and sent it to me. It was generally working, except for NFC and the blurry camera. I figured the NFC wasn't working because the device was unlocked before, and so this long journey began. I tried to lock the bootloader again, and the phone shot down immediately, then it started boot looping. All I can get to is the recovery (which displays the "this miui version can't be installed on this device" message) and fastboot pages. I've tried unlocking it again, flashing a clean stock ROM, bypassing the lock, and it all came to nothing.
It seems that MediaTek devices are hard to fiddle with. This phone has a Dimensity 900 (MT6877). I've tried tools like:
Xiaomi Official Unlock Tool (no success) as it won't let me unlock the phone.
Xiaomi Official Flashing Tool (no success) as it won't flash a lock phone.
MTK Flash Tool (no success) as it won't accept my ROM's scatter file. It says the file is invalid.
SP Flash Tool (no success) as it won't accept my ROM's scatter file. It says the version is not supported/the file is invalid.
MTK Client (no success) as I can't make it work at all. Setuptools module is missing for some ****ing reason.
MTK Bypass Utility Master (no success) as the "usb" module is missing. I don't know what to do.
Honestly, this is all my fault. Both for bricking the phone and for doing something wrong while trying the methods above. Please enlighten me. Is there any way to recover this phone? It's OEM Locked. I need a tool that bypasses the mediatek stuff or something (with a detailed guide with ALL needed requirements to install, if possible).
"MTK Bypass Utility Master (no success) as the "usb" module is missing"
try installing some drivers, such as:
-mtk driver
-vcom
-xiaomi usb driver
-libusb-win
and maybe u could study these step from redmi 6A:
Fix HardBrick Redmi 6A (no recovery and no fastboot, only black screen)Fix without need Authotization stuff

Hey there. So...
I'm trying out your guide, but I'm already stuck. Sorry for that. When I try to add the scatter file (from the stock ROM), I keep getting the following error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
The same happens with other flash tools. MTK Flash Tool tells me the file is invalid, while SP tells me it's not supported. Any tips?
You should never lock the bootloader on a chinese xiaomi phone with global rom

thats right, check in case your device still locked.
if it does locked, try to unlock it first.
also, you could try using another scatter files (from different spflash or else).
Hi Howerr,
Afaik, our device is definetly a qualcomm device + not an mtk device. try it out, this will help you, or you typed the wrong device model. VEUX has a qualcomm chip.
Hi I have a Redmi Note 11 Pro+ updated to MIUI 13.0.5.0. global. Can I use the Recovery Stock to go back to MIUI 12.0.5.0? thank you
Good evening. Guys could this work to unlock the MEDIA TEK processor?
It's now easy to bypass MediaTek's SP Flash Tool authentication
A group of developers has created a Python utility to bypass the authentication routine of MediaTek SP Flash Tool. Check it out now!

You can flash any rom on global phone, but don't lock the bootloader. Also nfc might not work in China rom.

I see, thanks for your answer, so basically there's no way to have the MIUI Dialer on the 12T with Global ROM MIUI 13 right? Only way is to use the China ROM except not blocking the bootloader. What happens if I lock it? Will it get bricked?

If you lock bootloader your phone will get bricked. But you can use miui Indonesian version if you want miui dialer. I use miui Indonesian for my redmi note 11 pro 5g without any issue.

Hi Michael, I would like to buy a redmi note 11 pro 5g in Europe and then install indonesian firmware. Can I lock the bootloader after firmware upgrade? Can I then use Google Pay and NFC for payments?
