MiFlash Can not read from port com - whyred - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi, can someone help? I was about to flash the official whyred Linedage OS for my Redmi Note 5. I did that with note 3 and note 4 before, so kind of knew what I was doing.. But was not aware of the antirollback thing.. So after i decided to flash the new miui 10 firs for the firmware..(wasn't the best idea I know) and you know the rest.. something went wrong and now I am stuck with dead phone.. no recovery, no fastboot, nothing.. I had unlocked bootloader officially a few weeks ago, got the device connected with the mi account (not sure about if the account is authorized or not).
I tried the test point method - dissembling the device from miui dot com
I have the right driver listed in device manager (Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008)
I tried several roms listed here or miui dot com
I tired several versions of MiFlash
Every time I only get the message about not reading the com port (tried all USB ports on two PCs, reinstalled drivers .. everything) .. It starts flashing "read hello packet", then after 5 seconds stops with the mesage "can not read from port comXY"
In edb its just waiting for the device on any command (or not devices found)
Anyone can help please? I spent the whole day searching for solution and found nothing, or nothing helps
thx in advance

thank you

Yeah, posted my ID on the forum, got authorized, then used the "portable" miflash and it worked.. But on the other PC still got errors in miflash.. didn't even check for the authorization, so I suppose its PC related.. perhaps something with the drivers..

I faced the similar situation. I pasted the ID in the russian and english forum. I got no message for weeks, I thought of flashing again, Voila. Device flashed and turned ON. Your device is hard bricked as mine, it needs authentication from Mi to flash via EDL mode. All you need to do is download the MI flash tool portable, and paste your Mi ID in forums.
Unfortunately both the forum's date to paste the ID has been expired. But still you try to get help from someone else from the forum or the moderators.
I'll explain different errors I faced and the solution for it.
"not reading the com port" --- You get this error when you flash Global version of the ROM. Use the Developer version of it.
"It starts flashing "read hello packet"" --- You get this error because edl is turned off in your phone. To turn it back ON, just remove the USB cable from your phone and then press the power button for 10-15 seconds. Then connect your phone back again and try to flash.
"edb its just waiting for the device on any command" --- Actually this is not an error. Your phone is hard bricked. While in hard bricked mode adb won't work. ADB works only in fastboot mode.

Simple.. Disconnect and Reconnect with your PC Via Testpoint.. Thanks.

thank you very much

Redmi Note 5 AI (China) Hard Brick. No fastboot, No Recovery, No LED, Stuck in EDL.P

Please Help me.
First, i'm sorry about my English
my phone is Redmi note 5 AI (China version), still Locked. but i'm so stupid. i used Xiaomi Tool to flash from China Stable (miui9 9.5.22) to China Dev (Miui10 8.5.7), and now my phone is Hard Brick. Screen is dark, no fastboot, no recovery, can't power on, no charging LED. i knew i stuck in EDL because when i plug in to PC, it's recognized "Qualcomm ... 9008". i used Miflash but it had error:"read hello packet" or "cannot receive hello packet". Then i remove phone's back cover and Test Point, but i had another error :" cannot read port COM" or "the file name,....... Open Programmer.....". I tried all Miflash and rom version, with another way like change folder name shorter, use mifash beta, run as..., ..... but it's still not working now.
The worst case is the problem with mainboard and i hope not.
I'm obstructive now. Please help me

I got the exact same problem. Description fits! Did you guys solve the problem?
Flash using QFIL and cracked firehose fix this, I was tried on 4 hardbricked Whyred AI and all of them working fine till today..
Sent from my Redmi Note 5 Pro using XDA Labs
I have tried with all of the stable china versions:
10.0.2
10.0.1
9.6.4
9.6.3
9.5.22
with this file prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf
It still doesn't boot after successful flashing.

my xiaomi redmi note 5 does not turn on, I think it's in fullbrick

you see, I made a bad installation of a rom and my phone no longer turns on (I can not enter bootloader or recovery mode) try to restore it by my flash. I recognize my flash device as COM but at the time of starting the flash it asks for an MI account (I log in with the account which is synchronized to the phone) but it always sends me error. I have been told that there is a solution through something called test point, but as far as I understand this is for the computer to recognize the phone. which I already do. Any advice or tutorial?
(sorry my english, I speak spanish.)

Error doesnt say much.. atleast write what does the error say... And yes, there is also qfil flashing method, which can revive basically dead device. But you have to open up device, take off back panel, and touch 2 metal thingies with a tweezers or something similar to enter qfil. I made a huge mistake few months ago, accidentally flashed firmware of another device onto RN5 and it just went through it, then it turned off, and was completely dead. No signs of life whatsoever, so i revived it using qfil method and flash stock firmware again. There are guides in this forum.

Hard-Bricked Redmi Note 8 Pro after MIUI 11 Update

Hello,
My phone got hard bricked yesterday after the MIUI 11 update. It was running fine before on lastest MIUI10 global ROM with persistent TWRP, root and magisk. Bootloader is unlocked.
The phone dont turn on anymore and just show a white notification led when plugged to a PC. No recovery or fastboot access
If i press volume up when i plug it to my pc, it show up as "Mediatek USB Port" and disappear after 5 seconds.
I tried to open the phone/ removing battery, shorting EDL test points, but nothing happens.
My only solution appears to be using Sp_flash_tool but seems like i need an authorized Mi account flash the stock ROM.
Do someone know where i can get acces to one of those account ?
Thanks for your replies guys !
Redmi Note 8 Pro Hard Bricked
I'm in the same situation.
please help me
Hello,
The same thing happened to me when I installed the Orange FOX recovery, it didn't go into Fastboot mode, so I had to press the 3 buttons and wait for it to turn off completely, open the ADB control console and then connect it to the PC via USB by pressing the volume + button.
The latter I did on several occasions (Turn it off completely and connect by USB). Until I recognized it, when I recognized them, I had to flash the SYSTEM, CUST, RECOVERY. One by one, in total it took almost 5 minutes.
After that the phone started normal, obviously without root, nor custom recovery.
I'm also in the same situation as all of you, the PC doesn't recognize me and I can't go into fastboot
Hey,
I tried everything I could (battery connected/unplugged), my phone seems to have a corrupted preloader and only start the boot rom. That's why it shows up as "Mediatek USB PORT", if the preloader was'nt corrupted, it should be named "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM port" or something similar.
The only way to recover it imo is to flash a healthy preloader using SPFlashTool low level flash mode and next flash a full rom when "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM port" appears in the device manager.
Unfortunately, xiaomi ask for a certified account for low level flashing. I found one but the guy ask for 40$ for just logging it into my pc with teamviewer.
I buyed a Samsung Note10+ in replacement and i'll just wait someone find a solution to sell my 10-day-used redmi if I can revive it one day.
I got hundreds $ of Xiaomi home automation products in my home, but that was my first phone from this brand. I think it will also be the last.
I'm sad to see that their security policy on the phones is so frustrating to the people who just want to have a full acces on their devices.
Authorise can be done with professional tools
Tools like umt, hydra tool, miracle xiaomi tool, does the authorization. And i think mtk cpu Auth will only be available in miracle xiaomi tool, be aware every Auth cost credit of 4 to 10 u will have but credit separate from the tool.. Hope this will help

I Faced The Same Problem Of Bricked Phone Of Redmi Note 8 Pro, I Was Unable To Enter Fastboot Mode, Recovery Mode & Even Can't Enter Into The System Because I Flash Wrong Boot.img File, Thereafter I Tried To Use SP Flash Tool But Failed Due To Xiaomi Authorised Account Issue. Then I Emailed Xiaomi For Getting My Account Authorised And They Emailed Back And Told Me That They Can't Authorise My Account..
Then I Decided To Visit Mi Service Centre As My Phone Was In Warranty, The Funniest Fact Is The Technicians Existed There Were Failed To Detect The Problem. I Told Them That My Phone Was Automatically Got Dead After Installing An Update Just For Making Them Unaware From The Real Fact.
I Told Them That There Is No Hardware Issue Only Need To Flash Original Firmware But They Are Freak And Didn't Listen To Me And Opened Up Every Part Of The Phone, Now They Told Me That The Phone Will Need 7 Days Of Repairing Take The Phone After 7 Days.
I Tried To Teach Them The Way By Which The Phone Could Be Repaired But They Only Listen To Me And Did Nothing, They Were Behaving Like A Beginner In Repairing Phone,
They Didn't Know That The Phone Can Also Be Reapired During Switched Off.
Now I Have To Wait For 7 Days, So Guys Flash Anything Carefully Otherwise You Will Face The Same Situation.
Thanks
Well I guess I won't unlock my device... To be honest I have no reason to do so. The phone is running great and I have adguard and removed all the apps I don't like using adb.

hi
does anyone find a solution for this?

Well there is now a way to bypass the need for an authorized account, if you device is unbricked. Basically if you flash this before you brick your phone, it allows you to use sp flash to unbrick it without authorized account.

This is only for unbricked devices.... As I stated. If your device was already bricked it won't help you.
I also faced this problem... I used paid service to unbrick it... I must pay 35USD for the service.. but just wait.. If it works I will post here again. I bricked my phone when flashed anti brick on Android 10.. I forgot downgrade it to Android 9

Accidentally flashed to invalid file! Bricked phone! Help!

I accidentally did "fastboot flash preloader preloader.img" and now my phone won't boot, I can connect the cable and the phone led turns on and I get "sound of new device", however I can't do "fastboot devices or adb devices" nothing is found and after a bit the device disconnects from my PC.
What can I do to recover my phone? Please help I'm broke :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Edit: the device is recognized as MediaTek USB Port, but SPFlashtool asks for permission, it has to be the authorized Xiaomi account that I need, I need this service please someone help me
Edit 2: Opened device, removed battery, tried to connect the test points, and no success SPFlashTool still requests authorization, and MiFlash does not recognize the phone at all (I think because it only works with fastboot?)

I've read everywhere about every RN8Pro brick. I removed my phone case, disconnected battery, waited 10 seconds, connected again, pressed volume powers + and -, did everything I could and SPFlash everytime asks for authorization and I can't get fastboot screen.
I'm begging for someone to give me service for authorization so I can unbrick my device, I'm begging with my life on it, I suffer of depression and you've no idea how hard this is for me, I use my phone to work and I'm dying here of the anxiety since yesterday because I'm broke and can't get a new phone, all I can afford is the service, please, contact me

The only way to solve your bootloop is a deep flashing, and for this you need an authorized account, search in YouTube or Google, XDA don't let people post numbers or contacts for business , is a rule..

I'm begging for someone to give me service for authorization so I can unbrick my device, I'm begging with my life on it, I suffer of depression and you've no idea how hard this is for me, I use my phone to work and I'm dying here of the anxiety since yesterday because I'm broke and can't get a new phone, all I can afford is the service, please, contact me

I had same issue but i go to service centre and said that my phone was dead after updating (lie) after 1 hour they flashed my phone and no warrenty void.but keep in mind do not said about root if asking customer exicutive.
Hi - I'm sorry to 'hijack' this thread, but I have a quick question regarding bricking of devices. I've rooted my Note 8 Pro and it works nicely (I haven't restarted in a while). If I bricked it, would I know by now (as in, it would have been obvious when I was using fastboot and such)? Or upon restart, might there be an issue, if I use a new Magisk module or such? Thank you.

Question Bricked Poco F3 global :(

Ok, I might have ****ed this up really bad this time, I have flashed custom roms on my old device many times and once before on my Poco F3, so I was a bit over confident trying to flash the Elite ROM miui 14 following this not very detailed guide using orange fox:
EliteRomLite V14.0.22.12.8.DEV China DEV MIUI 14 A13 Released for PUBLIC!
Devices: Poco F3 / K40/...
www.elitedevelopment.com.pk
after formatting and flashing everything I tried to reboot ignoring the "no OS" warning (Big mistake). And now my phone doesn't boot, neither to the (non existing) OS neither to the fast boot screen.
If anyone can help I would be immensely grateful

Hi, As 3zozHashim mentioned,
do you still have RECOVERY, i have been stuck in "No O/S installed" but after reboot has always automatically rebooted into Recovery.
You can enter Recovery manually by pressing and holding the Power + Volume up buttons and releasing the power button.
I have never lost FASTBOOT, if you still have recovery you could try reverting back to your old rom, can you connect to your pc.
I had this issue once and I've solved in TWRP (hope you may accessit!).
Try to reboot, from main screen, and switch to the other partition (if you don't know which one is the actually active, try first with B and after a failing reboot try with A)
no matter if I hold power button, or power + volume up, or power+ volume down the screen just stays black
You need to flash miui using an authorized account by paying someone with one of these accounts.
Where I can found someone with one of these accounts?
Since your phone appears to be hard bricked, you could try a patched firehose and flash a firmware yourself. I will link it if you want. Just a disclaimer, try it at your own risk since yours is the first hard bricked device I came across since I got the firehose file.

Here you go.
I do not know how to use it though. Maybe @cyanGalaxy can guide you through it?
EDIT: I tried it and it looks like it does not work.

I've found tutorials on the internet using miflash but I only get errors

I don't think it can be used with miflash. You need something like QFIL.

Hi,
Was your F3 recognised in Device manager, if so was it listed as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 , also have you tried to hold down the power button for 10 seconds

I had to use Qfil to install Orangerfox patched Recovery on my LG G7 "many times"
Entering 9008 mode was easy thou, i was done by using a combination of keys at reboot, it looks like MIUI is a different beast.
I was tring qfil this afternoon but I got a bunch of errors, some I found how to fix online (like sahara fail and "The system cannot find the specified file") but not the "FHLoader Fail: Process Fail." tried a bunch of Qfil versions and nothing unfortunately. Apperntly I will have to pay someone on a service center to fix it

Sorry to hear that. Well, it was worth a try at least.
I wonder what that error means. Does it mean the patched firehose is not working or something else. Hmmm...
Also I read that you need to set "device type" to ufs in configuration. This is essential.

This guy has the same problem as you. I don't know if the video doesn't work for you, but it's not hard to try.

This only works with MediaTek phones.

Does your phone show up in Windows Device Manager as "Qualcomm 9008" ?
The EDL Mode of the Xiaomi Poco F3 is locked to authorised Xiaomi Service Centres only...
The Poco F3 modified MBN (Firehose) file that the other guy here posted, *may* work, to circumvent the authorisation required. I haven't tried it myself because my phone's not bricked at the moment
I did brick my Poco F3 once last year, tried QPST/QFIL. I couldn't find *any* modified Firehose back then so QPST/QFIL didn't work. {Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}
Another thing to mention, my phone did not go into EDL Mode automatically, I had to open the back of my phone (took a lot of patience and carefulness but was flawless!), and short 2 Test-points on my phone.
In the end it all worked out well for me.
The Qualcomm SOC, when it detects that the bootloader is completely f***ed, will boot into EDL Mode instead. When you power on your device, the Qualcomm SOC first tries to boot Android's Bootloader, if it detects that the bootloader is erased (or similar), it will sidetrack to the Qualcomm read-only EDL Mode.
But there are times where it's not erased but only broken/damaged, and in that case the Qualcomm SOC doesn't auto-boot to EDL Mode, but instead, you're "invisibly" stuck in a broken/damaged Android bootloader.
About the modified Firehose file and QPST/QFIL: You have to put it into the Fastboot ROM-folder where the other ROM images are... The Official MIUI Fastboot ROM can also be used for EDL Mode (QPST/QFIL/Mi Flash)...
I think you CAN actually use Mi Flash for EDL Mode. What happens when you try to flash in EDL Mode, by default, is that a popup will show asking you to login with a Xiaomi Service Account (which of course you don't have).
So.. you can try Mi Flash with the Modified Firehose, or QPST/QFIL...
Otherwise I can give you contact details about the third party service that would flash your phone in EDL Mode (the same that I used last year).
I can not mention it here on XDA tho... Guidelines.
Or, if it costs less to go to a Xiaomi Service Centre (or sending it in), then do that. Maybe you can, with warranty.
Here in Germany I think there are very very few Xiaomi Service Centres, and we have to send in, I think...
OK I have to plead guilty to something...
I bricked my Poco F3 twice actually.
But the very first time when it happened (2 months after I bought the device hahah), I had no clue about Qualcomm EDL Mode and the other technicalities related to Xiaomi and Qualcomm, so I returned it to Amazon and said "Software borked due to OS update", and they sent me a free replacement.
It was a bad move of course, but I was without a phone and had nightmares from that occurence. The second time I made my hands dirty (so to speak ;D ), and I fixed it!
