You can use this tot file to get your phone back to stock KK:

OK thank you for the file. However call me a n00b, but the file I downloaded was a tot file and the instructions say I should have a kdz file. Should I rename the file to kdz? The tool is looking for a kdz file.

So I had the same issue with my phone. I made a nandroid backup of my lollipop 5.0.1 and installed a MM rom. when I did it didn't work so I re formatted the phone and restored my back up, and I had no imei number, the phone said no service and I had an x at the signal bar. I tried everything, and couldn't get it to work, so after reading different topics, and random side topics, I found a soulution. after I re installed the lollipop version, I found the right modem.zip file for my phone. I used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041. download the modem.zip and put it on your sd card. re boot to recovery and flash the zip with TWRP. Than bam, you have your imei and signal back. Hope this helps.

IntroductionThis is a guide to backup and restore the QCN, and to edit other's QCN in case you lost your IMEI and you don't have a backup of your QCN. There are other ways to do some steps (the most popular is via Fastboot) but I'm gonna describe the way that I think it's not only the safiest in our Z6 Pro but also valid for both locked and unlocked bootloader.
Disclaim: even having tested these steps more than enough times, I'm not responsible for any damage in your devices, do things at your own risk or don't do it.
Index
Post 1.- Backup QCN
Post 2.- Edit IMEI in QCN
Post 3.- Restore QCN (Fastboot and QFIL methods)
BACKUP QCN
0. Pre-requisites.
- QPST installed (which includes QFIL). You can download it here.
- Lenovo and Qualcomm drivers installed. Download them here. (thanks @benjieb )
1. Enable Diagnostics mode in your phone.
a) If you're using an stock ZUI ROM, open dialer and dial *#*#33284#*#*
In the next screen select "For qmi test"
{
"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",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
b) If you're using a custom rom you can try the dialer method but most likely you will get nothing after dialing the code. If this is the case you still can enable the Diagnostics mode but you need root privileges. Open a Terminal Emulator app and type this:
Code:
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Now open QFIL, don't shut down your phone and connect it to PC with the USB wire. Your device should now appear as connected in Diagnostics Mode.
If you get "Select port" instead, press "Select port" button top in the right, select your device and press OK. Your device should be shown now.
2. Backup the QCN
Press the "Tools" tab and a menu will open, select "QCN Backup Restore"
In the new window you can choose the name for the backup file, just name as you want and leave untouched the .qcn extension. You also can choose where will be stored. Select the "multisim" option and press Backup.
Once the backup it's done, check the generated file size. A normal backup is around 310Kb, if your file is significantly lighter you can suspect of a damaged file. In this case I suggest installing stock ZUI rom and use the dialer method.
EDIT QCN
EDIT QCN
IntroductionThis can be useful in case you loose your IMEI and you don't have a QCN backup to restore. Then the only option is to edit the IMEI stored in other's QCN backup to put your IMEI and restore the QCN file in your device. The most common reason for lost IMEI is selecting in QFIL the option to "Erase all before download" which erase absolutely everything when you install a ROM, QCN of course included.
0. Pre-requisites
- A QCN file. You can ask someone to share his with you or just download this "genericIMEI.qcn" file.
- "Qualcomm IMEI rebuilder" downloaded (from here) and extracted.
1. Run IMEIRebuilder.exe
2. Open the QCN file
Press the "Open file..." button, browse to select the QCN file and press "Open".
You will see random numbers loaded in IMEI1 and IMEI2
3. Edit IMEI1 and IMEI2 to put yours
4. Select "Rebuild"
Once it's done you can close the IMEI rebuilder software, re-execute it and load the edited to file to check that now it contains your IMEI
RESTORE QCN
IntroductionIf you have ever tried to restore a QCN, you may faced that the QCN is not actually restored, this because of a damaged/erased 'persist' partition. I will describe two different methods to restore the persist partition: fastboot commands (only for unlocked bootloader) and QFIL method (locked and unlocked bootloader). So this post will be structured as follows:
- Introduction
- Erase and install 'persist' and 'modem' partition using fastboot (unlocked bootloader)
- Erase and install 'persist' and 'modem' partition using QFIL (locked/unlocked bootloader)
- Restore QCN
Erase and install 'persist' partition using fastboot
0. Pre-requisites
- ADB&Fastboot installed (you can download it here)
1. Put 'persist' and 'modem' partitions .img files in ADB folder
You should install the partitions from the ZUI firmware currently installed in your device. If you are using stock ZUI, just check the device info in Settings to find the ZUI version you are using, download the ZUI ROM (you can find them HERE), extract persist.img and 'NON-HLOS.bin' .img files and put them into your ADB folder in your computer. Rename 'NON-HLOS.bin' to 'NON-HLOS.img'
If you are using custom ROM and you can't remember which is the last ZUI firmware that you installed, I suggest using 'persist' and 'modem' from 11.5.229 or going for the QFIL method.
2. Reboot in Fastboot Mode and connnect to PC
Shut down your device and boot it holding pressed Volume Down + Power buttons until you see the Fastboot Mode menu. You can navigate the menu with volume buttons and confirm with Power buttons. At this point just reboot in Fastboot Mode and connect the device with computer via USB wire.
3. Open a CMD window in your ADB folder
Open your ADB folder and Shift+Right Click over an empty space of the folder. Choose 'Open CMD here' (or similar, I can't rememeber the words in English). If you don't have this option, open CMD using the search bar in your desktop or the Windows button and navigate with commands to your ADB folder.
4.Erase and install partitions
In CMD window write:
Code:
fastboot devices
[I](this should return a number which represents your device)[/I]
fastboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot erase modem
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.img
5. Reboot your device
Erase and install 'persist' partition using QFIL
0. Pre-requisites
- QPST installed
- Lenovo drivers installed
- Qualcomm drivers installed
1. ONLY IF YOU ARE USING ANDROID 9 AND YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED:
You must be aware that installing Android 10 with QFIL will lock your bootloader. So you will avoid problems this way:
- Backup your data
- Remove fingerprint, pattern or any lockscreen security
- Lock the bootloader (from fastboot: fastboot flashing lock)
2. Backup
Backup everything you want to keep if you haven't done yet because this procedure will do a clean install and absolutely everything will be erased.
3. Set the FireHose Configuration
- Open QFIL, press 'Confifuration' tab and select 'FireHose Configuration'.
- Set everything as shown in the screenshots.
Note: if your QFIL doesn't show the option to "Erase All Before Download", install an older QPST version like this one.
4. Select 'programmer' and 'content'
In the QFIL main screen:
- Select "Meta Build"
- Press "Load Content" and browse to select the 'contents.xml' from the ROM folder.
- Press "Browse" to select the 'prog_firehose_ddr.elf' file from the ROM folder. Actually this file should have been self added when setting the 'contents.xml'.
5. Connect in EDL mode and Download
Shut down your device and:
- Hold pressed Volume Up and Volume Down buttons
- Connect the phone to computer with USB wire
- Release volume buttons as soon as your phone vibrates and Lenovo logo flashes on the screen.
- Press the "Download Content" button in QFIL main screen
IMPORTANT: all these steps must be done quickly, if you delay releasing volume buttons or pressing the "Download Content" button there will be errors during the installation.
If your device is not shown as "QDLoader 9008" in QFIL when connecting in EDL mode and you get "Select Port" instead, press "Select port" button top in the right, select your device and press OK. Your device should be shown now. Then unplug your phone and repeat the steps to reboot in EDL mode, connect and Download Content.
Once the installation is finished the device will reboot. Unplug the phone from computer when this happens.
6. Select "Flat Build"
In QFIL main screen select "Flat Build" and make sure that programmer file is loaded.
7. Reboot in EDL, connect and select "Partition Manager"
Select "Partition Manager" under the "Tools" tab.
8. Erase and install 'persist' partition
- Do right clik on "persist" label and select "Manage Partition Data".
- Press "Erase" button.
- Press "Load Image...", browse to select the 'persist.img' file from the ROM folder and confirm to load it.
- Press "Close".
9. Erase and install 'modem' partition
Repeat previous steps as done with persist partition. The file to load from the ROM folder for modem partition is "NON-HLOS.bin"
10. Reboot the phone.
Close the Partition Manager, unplug the phone from computer and force your phone to reboot holding pressed the Power button.
Restore QCN
1. Boot the phone
2. Enable Diagnostics mode as described in post #1
3. Open QFIL and connect the phone with computer
Your phone should appear in QFIL as connected in Diagnostics Mode, check post #1 if not.
4. Press the "Tools" tab and a menu will open, select "QCN Backup Restore"
5. "Browse" to select the .qcn file that you want to install and press "Restore QCN"
6. Reboot the phone
The phone won't reboot once the restore is completed so pay attention to the QFIL log to know when it's done and reboot it manually.
Your IMEI should be already restored.

I don't know, I can't remember this ever happened to me. Are you trying to backup the QCN using stock ZUI rom or custom ROM? I recommend to use stock ZUI.

Ok, mine came with fake Global ROM with terrible performance and had to flash the chinese ROM, after that, WIFI gone, SIM Network gone... and QCN also
I tried those steps on 11.0.575 Chinese ROM, i tested my QCN file size, its saying 310KB, which i presume might be correct. the issue is that im not getting my signals for my sim card back. one thing that i've noticed is that, when i put both of my sim cards, i would get signal on both my sim, but they would stay on H and E for the one configured to Data. i would rarely get 4G. to be noted that despite both sim cards are getting signals, i wont be able to make or receive call on the one configured to data and in some rare cases, for the second sim also. If someone could help me out of this mess, it would be really great! Ive managed to upgrade my phone after 6 years, what is the use of having upgraded to the Z6 Pro when it cannot do those simple task like sending/receiving messages and calls!
pls share only firehos files thx
Dear all,
I've flashed stock rom for tb-x704v by QFIL.
It has lost baseband firmware. It is unable to recognize sim card, unknown imei, unknown baseband version and no Phone app appear in app drawer.
Any one can help me fix it, please?
Many thanks for your support.
After restore of edited qcn file the phone still shows the wrong imei number, how I can format and install 'persist' partition using fastboot in Samsung tab s2 sm-t719
Thanks in advance..
Hi,
I have tried on rooted Asus rog phone 2. Port is connected properly. But "restore QCN" and "backup QCN" buttons are not working.
hello cool boy,do you have the qcn file of z6pro 5g version， model No. is L79041?
I made a little bit progress. I took backup of my Asus rog phone 2 QCN file and edit IMEI using QPST. then I tried to restore that file. It shows QCN restored successful.done. but when I checked my IMEI number after restarting the phone, it's same as before. Tried the whole procedure with QFIL TOOL too. But the results are same. Both shows successful but IMEI is the same.
after qcn repair imei 0 imei sv 00 any suggestions ?
Hi, im flashing my qcn to get my imei back. When i enter diag mode, my qfil showing that i am connected with “COM8”.
But when im restoring it, logs activity showing me this. But im already connected my phone with diag mode. Any solution?

- ADB&Fastboot installed (you can download it here)
1. Put 'persist' and 'modem' partitions .img files in ADB folder
You should install the partitions from the ZUI firmware currently installed in your device. If you are using stock ZUI, just check the device info in Settings to find the ZUI version you are using, download the ZUI ROM (you can find them HERE), extract persist.img and 'NON-HLOS.bin' .img files and put them into your ADB folder in your computer. Rename 'NON-HLOS.bin' to 'NON-HLOS.img'
If you are using custom ROM and you can't remember which is the last ZUI firmware that you installed, I suggest using 'persist' and 'modem' from 11.5.229 or going for the QFIL method.
2. Reboot in Fastboot Mode and connnect to PC
Shut down your device and boot it holding pressed Volume Down + Power buttons until you see the Fastboot Mode menu. You can navigate the menu with volume buttons and confirm with Power buttons. At this point just reboot in Fastboot Mode and connect the device with computer via USB wire.
3. Open a CMD window in your ADB folder
Open your ADB folder and Shift+Right Click over an empty space of the folder. Choose 'Open CMD here' (or similar, I can't rememeber the words in English). If you don't have this option, open CMD using the search bar in your desktop or the Windows button and navigate with commands to your ADB folder.
4.Erase and install partitions
In CMD window write:
Code:
fastboot devices
[I](this should return a number which represents your device)[/I]
fastboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot erase modem
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.img
5. Reboot your device
Erase and install 'persist' partition using QFIL
0. Pre-requisites
- QPST installed
- Lenovo drivers installed
- Qualcomm drivers installed
1. ONLY IF YOU ARE USING ANDROID 9 AND YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED:
You must be aware that installing Android 10 with QFIL will lock your bootloader. So you will avoid problems this way:
- Backup your data
- Remove fingerprint, pattern or any lockscreen security
- Lock the bootloader (from fastboot: fastboot flashing lock)
2. Backup
Backup everything you want to keep if you haven't done yet because this procedure will do a clean install and absolutely everything will be erased.
3. Set the FireHose Configuration
- Open QFIL, press 'Confifuration' tab and select 'FireHose Configuration'.
- Set everything as shown in the screenshots.
Note: if your QFIL doesn't show the option to "Erase All Before Download", install an older QPST version like this one.
4. Select 'programmer' and 'content'
In the QFIL main screen:
- Select "Meta Build"
- Press "Load Content" and browse to select the 'contents.xml' from the ROM folder.
- Press "Browse" to select the 'prog_firehose_ddr.elf' file from the ROM folder. Actually this file should have been self added when setting the 'contents.xml'.
5. Connect in EDL mode and Download
Shut down your device and:
- Hold pressed Volume Up and Volume Down buttons
- Connect the phone to computer with USB wire
- Release volume buttons as soon as your phone vibrates and Lenovo logo flashes on the screen.
- Press the "Download Content" button in QFIL main screen
IMPORTANT: all these steps must be done quickly, if you delay releasing volume buttons or pressing the "Download Content" button there will be errors during the installation.
If your device is not shown as "QDLoader 9008" in QFIL when connecting in EDL mode and you get "Select Port" instead, press "Select port" button top in the right, select your device and press OK. Your device should be shown now. Then unplug your phone and repeat the steps to reboot in EDL mode, connect and Download Content.
Once the installation is finished the device will reboot. Unplug the phone from computer when this happens.
6. Select "Flat Build"
In QFIL main screen select "Flat Build" and make sure that programmer file is loaded.
7. Reboot in EDL, connect and select "Partition Manager"
Select "Partition Manager" under the "Tools" tab.
8. Erase and install 'persist' partition
- Do right clik on "persist" label and select "Manage Partition Data".
- Press "Erase" button.
- Press "Load Image...", browse to select the 'persist.img' file from the ROM folder and confirm to load it.
- Press "Close".
9. Erase and install 'modem' partition
Repeat previous steps as done with persist partition. The file to load from the ROM folder for modem partition is "NON-HLOS.bin"
10. Reboot the phone.
Close the Partition Manager, unplug the phone from computer and force your phone to reboot holding pressed the Power button.
Restore QCN
1. Boot the phone
2. Enable Diagnostics mode as described in post #1
3. Open QFIL and connect the phone with computer
Your phone should appear in QFIL as connected in Diagnostics Mode, check post #1 if not.
4. Press the "Tools" tab and a menu will open, select "QCN Backup Restore"
5. "Browse" to select the .qcn file that you want to install and press "Restore QCN"
6. Reboot the phone
The phone won't reboot once the restore is completed so pay attention to the QFIL log to know when it's done and reboot it manually.
Your IMEI should be already restored.

I followed all the methods. After restoring qcn my redmi note 8 device stuck on recovery mood. It's showing nv data is corrupted. After that I restore a working qcn With twrp backup. Now my phone is active but there is no IMEI on my device. How could I change my IMEI number ??? Can anybody help me ? I want to use a custom IMEI number on my device.

open TPRW then mount vendor and data and firmware then
rest efs via adb mode by this command: (BUCKUP THIS SECTION BEFORE REST IT)
(you should search how can you rest efs before doing these)
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fsg
then go to 'wipe' select 'art cache' and 'cache' and 'data' to wipe (MI account will ask you for your PASSWORD, if you don't have it ,you will be fall in another problem).
(MACK A BACKUP FIRST for your data) then restart to system and the IEMI should be '0' for both sim.
GO to settings to enable 'debugging mode' then go to developer option to
enable usb debugging.
Go to recovery mode Enter TPRW again to install magisk to root your device and reboot to system.
open qfil after enable diag mode by this command in adb:
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config rndis,diag,adb
prepare qcn file to restore it on qfil and restore it that's it.
1-Tips for qnc file: you can downloaded from xiomi official web site :
All Xiaomi Phone QCN Backup Files – Xiaomi Tools
xiaomitools.com
2- you can edit qnc file by [Tungtata] QCN Tool or QualcommIMEIRebuilder for one sim ONLY sim 1 IMEI stay 0 (and u should know changing IMEI is illegal)
3-in qfil select port after enable DIAGMODE then select 'tools' then 'QCN backup restore'
then browse for your QCN then select 'restore' reboot your system and the IMEI should appear for SIM 2 ONLY.
This method for 'bootloader unlocked' and 'TPRW RECOVERY'.
after success you can restore all partition from TPRW without efs partition to restore your data with new IMEI.

IntroductionThis is a guide to backup and restore the QCN, and to edit other's QCN in case you lost your IMEI and you don't have a backup of your QCN. There are other ways to do some steps (the most popular is via Fastboot) but I'm gonna describe the way that I think it's not only the safiest in our Z6 Pro but also valid for both locked and unlocked bootloader.
Disclaim: even having tested these steps more than enough times, I'm not responsible for any damage in your devices, do things at your own risk or don't do it.
Index
Post 1.- Backup QCN
Post 2.- Edit IMEI in QCN
Post 3.- Restore QCN (Fastboot and QFIL methods)
BACKUP QCN
0. Pre-requisites.
- QPST installed (which includes QFIL). You can download it here.
- Lenovo and Qualcomm drivers installed. Download them here. (thanks @benjieb )
1. Enable Diagnostics mode in your phone.
a) If you're using an stock ZUI ROM, open dialer and dial *#*#33284#*#*
In the next screen select "For qmi test"
b) If you're using a custom rom you can try the dialer method but most likely you will get nothing after dialing the code. If this is the case you still can enable the Diagnostics mode but you need root privileges. Open a Terminal Emulator app and type this:
Code:
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Now open QFIL, don't shut down your phone and connect it to PC with the USB wire. Your device should now appear as connected in Diagnostics Mode.
If you get "Select port" instead, press "Select port" button top in the right, select your device and press OK. Your device should be shown now.
2. Backup the QCN
Press the "Tools" tab and a menu will open, select "QCN Backup Restore"
In the new window you can choose the name for the backup file, just name as you want and leave untouched the .qcn extension. You also can choose where will be stored. Select the "multisim" option and press Backup.
Once the backup it's done, check the generated file size. A normal backup is around 310Kb, if your file is significantly lighter you can suspect of a damaged file. In this case I suggest installing stock ZUI rom and use the dialer method.

A how-to guide of restoring a completely bricked Redmi Note 9
Hi, In this guide, I will teach you how to fix a hard-bricked Redmi Note 9 (merlin) and bring it back to its original state.
How does a hard-bricked Redmi Note 9 look like? it's stuck in an infinite boot loop showing only the Redmi logo,
Can't access recovery with power+vol down, can't enter fastboot, can't connect it to a computer either.
If this is your phone here's how you can solve it without the need for service.
Following this guide keep in mind that everything would be erased from your phone including custom Recovery or ROM obviously. Also the bootloader would get locked again.
(I mean at this point you either have a useless brick or a working phone, you are choosing).
This is tested by me, and it works as long as you follow the steps carefully and you don't skip anything.
(I did this on Windows 10 btw)
You gonna need to download, Python and the official Xiaomi fastboot image for Redmi Note 9. Also the zip file I'm attaching bellow. the zip file contains the MTK Drivers, SP Flash Tool, and some additional scripts like MI auth bypass etc,
Get thefastboot image from here select your version (I picked the latest global) click download scroll down where it says "type:fastboot" and click "download: full Rom" the file name should look like this "merlin_images....tgz" or "merlin_global_images....tgz", etc, NOT miui_Merlin.zip,
Get python from the official website site, I tested it with 3.9.7 but the latest version should work fine. Now, you have all the necessary files to start.
Let the phone's battery die so the boot looping completely ends. (else you'll get error STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION (0xC0050005) when using SP Flash Tool). ( I also tried it with a full battery and still worked so idk for sure how necessary this step is).
Install Python select the "add to PATH" option, you can test if it was installed correctly by opening cmd and writing "python" or "py" it should output the python version.
Extract the attached zip file and the fastboot image each into their folders.
Enter the MTK Driver folder Install the MTK Driver for MTK SP flash tool.MTK_Driver_Auto_Installer_SP_Drivers_20160804.exe, Reboot your computer.
Enter the python folder, run the "install pyusb pyserial json5.bat" when it's done close the terminal.
Enter the driver folder, this folder contains a USB to COM driver for MTK Devices, right-click the "cdc-acm.inf" click install.
Enter the libusb folder, run the libusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.6.0.exe file, click next,next...install, when it's done it would prompt you to launch "filter installer wizard" click finish, when the wizard shows up, select "Install a device filter" it would show you your connected USB devices,
Get your phone and a USB cable, connect the USB cable to your computer,while holding the volume up button on your phone connect your phone to the computer (Based on community feedback you might need to hold both up and down volume buttons AND power button!) once your phone turns on you would see your phone listed as "MediaTek USB Port" at the libusb filter installer before your phone reboots click at the "MediaTek USB Port" and then click install if you don't do it on time, your phone will get disconnected because of rebooting, try again re-plugging your phone. once you click install, You should get a pop-up message saying "...device filter successfully installed for MediaTek USB port..." click ok and exit, then remove your phone from the computer.
Enter the bypass folder (This folder contains scripts to bypasses the Mi auth) double click the "1ST RUN THIS.bat" when it says "waiting for device" hold volume up and plug your phone into the computer (btw: You can let the button when it's recognized by the script). now most likely it would say "RuntimeError: unexpected output, expected 0xfd got 0xfe", if it does close the script and disconnect your phone, Try the "2ND RUN THIS.bat" when it shows "Waiting for device" hold volume up and connect your phone to the computer, wait till the console recognizes your phone, (At this part it might take few tries to make it work, try reconnecting your phone without holding any buttons or try holding volume down while reconnecting your phone) Once it gets recognized it would output "Found port = COM3" and Protection disabled. At this part your phone has stopped boot looping which is good but, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE, DO NOT DISCONNECT IT FROM THE COMPUTER, set your phone aside, and continue with the guide.
Enter the SP Flash Tool folder run the flash_tool.exe at the Download-Agent click choose and select the DA_6765_6785_6768_6873_6885_6853.bin file which is included in the SP flash tool folder.
At the Authentication File, click choose and select the auth_sv5.auth included in the SP flash tool folder.
At the Scatter-loading File, click choose, go to the fastboot image extraction folder (Step 4) then enter the images folder and select the MT6768_Android_scatter.txt file (Fastbootimage/images/MT6768_Android_scatter.txt)
On the drop-downbox below the "Authentication File" label change the option from Download Only to Firmware Upgrade.
At the toolbar above click Options -> Option... go to Connection check the UART option and set the Baud rate to 921600, make sure the com port option is set to com 3, then close the window.
Click Download with the green arrow, now wait till it finished flashing your phone this would take quite of time, at this part DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING LET IT FINISH TO AVOID ANY CURROPTION ON YOUR PHONE. (If you get "Error : STATUS_STOR_LIFE_EXHAUST" go to options-> general and uncheck Storage life cycle check).
When it's done it would show you a pop-up window "Download Ok" with a green background and a checkmark, click the X to close, and now you can also close the SP Flash tool app.
Disconnect your device from your computer and press the power buttonto start your phone, connect it to a charger or back to the computer since there was no charge so it won't die suddenly now.
Your phone now should boot normally showing the MIUI logo, because its first boot it would take few minutes for the phone to boot, wait patiently and you would see the "first setup" screen.
That's it! You successfully brought back to life a hard-bricked Redmi Note 9 (merlin). A huge weight now has lifted from you hf.

If you did step 9 it should recognize it, try to reboot your computer if you didn't already. Also your phone would be visible only for a second before it gets disconnected so you have to act fast.

Your window is 32 or 64 bit, I use windows 10 64 bit and did all step, one by one but no effect.
Finally, done it. I found this:
- Hold both vol up and down when plug in so the device recognize.
- You must choose right fastboot image (origin stock rom), if not devices can't boot in to miui rom cause bootloader locked after sp flash
And at last, thank you very much, you saved my day.

There's no qualcomm version of Redmi Note 9
i made a mistake,when i clicked to download the fastboot at the xiaomi site,i clicked the fastboot link to download,but i didnt see that it brings you to a page where it has all the downloads again,so i stopped the operation and restarted it with the correct scatter this time.
Now im waiting to see what will happen,how long does it usually take for the spflash to finish?
Also at the bottom of spflash where it says 0b/s,emmc etc. should it stay at 0 when you start the download?
edit:
managed to make it work,one important thing for me was at the option/option,had to select com port com 3

Thanks i updated the guide including this
i'm having an ERROR notification : STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION (0xC0050005) help me
Looking for some info/help if possible: apologies i'm not trying to derail your thread.
I had bricked my RN9 but managed to unbrick and have it working ok now however I am wanting to restore it/lock the bootloader to allow for using banking apps. But I am encountering an issue. I had tried using MiFlash Tool but during the flash, I get a mismatch error and it doesn't succeed in flashing the Fastboot rom.
If i was to follow your guide from step 13, would this work for me? Or which steps do I need to skip in your list?
Thank you for any advice/help

Hi thanks a lot for your help. I accidentally flashed a redmi 10x miui 11, wanted to downgrade my Redmi 9 from 12.5, bad perfomance, resulting in your hard-bricked version. Flashing last fastboot version doesn't help, do i have a chance to fix it?

Hi and thanks for this detailed guide.
I bricked my merlin trying to root it (long history trying to get TWRP to stick)
I am now in the redmi logo loop and i am trying to follow this with great care.
however in the step above, no matter what I choose in "Yshasalger" page, i end up with a Recovery ROM and the file name contains the miui prefix as opposed to what you clearly state.
see image:
I am asking because i am scared of making more mistakes.
So i guess my question is if someone can check it happens to them (maybe the page changed since the writting of this guide)
If i should try with that ROM zip file or if there is another place i can get the proper one
I want to if possible to flash an older MIUI / Android than the latest 12 xxx / Android 11 as i find the phone to be really slow since the last OTA update.

That's because you are choosing recovery and not fastboot, choose fastboot as type scroll down it has two links for recovery and for fastboot image. Check the file name
