Hello!
Unfortunately my 9 SE (6GB RAM, 64GB ROM, bought from e-tec.at) got stuck in the boot loop yesterday afternoon.
About the phone: European version, has the latest updates on it, no custom Rom, USB debugging mode is unfortunately not set, no Mi backup, was not registered in the MI account).
The storage space was already quite full. The "MI deep cleaner" app was running and got stuck, a window is constantly popped up. Honestly, I can't say if I clicked and just deleted an app by accident. I heard that it can also be a problem if you simply delete certain apps. So I wanted to restart the phone and it has been in the boot loop ever since. Actually I don't no the real reason it was lagging.
I get into Recovery Mode 3.0 and Fastboot. But I really want to have the photos on my cell phone again, so I dont want to swipe all data. The cell phone is recognized via the PC, but cannot access via the Xiaomi PC Suite (which should be out of date?).
I still have a guarantee for my cell phone. What if I would send it to Xiaomi support, would theyy try to save the data or simply reset everything to factory settings? Who has an idea how I can solve the boot loop problem?
Should I take the cell phone off the power until the battery runs out? It is reboots all the time.
best regards, thank you for your help in advance!!

@Chewei8152: try to get /sdcard of the phone visible in file explorer of pc during recovery or fastboot mode. Then copy your files to pc. Sorry, but there's only a very little chance. (Assuming stock recovery and USB access off.)
Xiaomi repair service will advice a factory reset first and, if they accept your delivery, surely not save any data before.

Thank you for your reply! How do I manage to get the sccard visible?
Do you think that is possible to flash the phone from EDL mode without clear the data (from someone who can do this for me)?
Cheers and many thanks!

Hi all,
Hope someone can help, I have a desire HD that has some issues.
Long story short the phone was acting up and was flashed with a non official ROM. It was working originally but after about a week it started acting up, with apps force closing, phone crashing altogether etc.
I am trying to get the phone back to a state that Vodafone in Australia will be able to warranty the phone in.
The current situation is that when the phone turns on, it'll load straight to the bootloader/hboot. Recovery mode does not work - it dumps you in to fastboot menu and fails to load.
System restore from boot menu does not work either, and there is no rom at all so USB debugging is a no go, and there appears to be no way to flash the ROM.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Use adb / fastboot to push a new recovery to the phone (I hope you left USB debugging enabled).

Sadly no USB debugging doesn't seem to work. Makes the sound that it connects to the computer and that bootloader states its connected by usb however it doesn't seem to phone is connected. Any other ideas?

ooh i tested it in my DHD and don´t works...how can be possible that don´t works adb parameters, but fastboot commander works perfectly??
maybe we have anything that works badly in our PC´s.. i´m in it...
ei crystal!! has you tested with FASTBOOT COMMANDER? if you download it you can flash a new recovery from this tool... its intuitive...
you only must to download the tool
download the recovery (lastest CWM in the DHD android development forum)
put the file in the paragraph that says "RECOVERY:not file set" and then push FLASH IT"".maybe you enjoy...
remember to put your device into boot loader

How did you check to see if adb shell can see the device?
Run an pb98.img from the bootlaoder

adb get-state

Code:

But this does depend on you having previously ticked USB Debugging option before you had all these problems (no way to check now without being able to boot the phone).
If this fails you may have to try the previous suggestion of putting a PD98IMG on your sdcard then going into fastboot on the phone.

Currently there is no Rom on the Phone. Just put PD98IMG.zip on the SD card which seems to be updating. Does it normally take a while to Update all the Sections?
Can take anything from 5 to 20+ minutes.
Seems to be taking ages to even get past [1]. Is that normal? Hasn't done anything. It says "Updating" yet I'm still yet to see it get past "[1] BOOTLOADER"
Just to confirm...
1. Turn phone off
2. Put PD98IMG file onto ROOT of sd card
3. Use vol- and power button to get to Fastboot
4. Scroll and select Bootloader (HBOOT)
(might automatically do last step when you boot phone)
Phone will show a message to say it is looking for the file then unpack it and install.

Confirmed dude. Doesn't seem to be doing much though. It has been stuck on "updating BOOTLOADER". It has trying to update it for more then 30mins now
It has a big list of 12 things it wants to update however it hasn't moved past the first file "BOOTLOADER" in over 30mins.
Did you confirm the MD5HASH of the file before putting it on the card?
Could you put a link to where you got the file from please?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Thank you.
Are you still connected to the PC? If so disconnect and try again.
Did you confirm the MD5HASH?
Have you got another SD card you can try? If not, reformat the current one and put the PD98IMG file on it again and try again.
The Device fails to even turn on now dude. Thanks anyway man
!!!???!!!
Damn. Do you just get the orange flashing light when you try to turn the phone on?
Take out SD Card and try.
If nothing works the bright side is you can send it to HTC and say "I woke up, turned it on and it's dead". Chances are they'll never be able to tell how it happened.
Many people did this when the Clockwork recovery bug bricked loads of phones.
Sorry but stay positive. Always a sliver lining.
Thank you
thanks for your great guidance to get back to recovery. I followed your tips and made it.
thanks a lot once again.

Long story short- I dropped my phone and the screen does not turn on anymore. I would like to sell it as damaged.
BUT before I do, I would like to format the phone via PC.
The phone still detects on the PC and if i right click the device via PC and press "Format" will the phone still be functional? Or will it wipe the entire phone including the OS? making it in a worst state than it is in?

I believe you can use adb to format, or if nothing else, just use odin to take it back to stock

What is adb?
Odin will be difficult as I'm unable to see the screen to follow prompts of going to download mode. I tried holding the buttons and then trying to do a factory reset but it seems I'm always doing it wrong.

If you plug the phone in just delete like all the pics and all the folders but leave the android file all the others should delete if not just delete what you can then download a stock firmware anf flash it via odin while the phone is in download mode and everything should be gone or you can look at pics on the recovery and just wipe the phone without the screen on

It appears my odin has been successful.
However, upon looking at my files via PC. My music, photos etc are still there. Shouldn't this be deleted?

No That is pretty much just doing a factory reset just wait till the phone boots and go on the pc and just delete the music pics or like I said go look at pic on what recovery you have and manually format them if you can get philz recovery on there I can post pics and you can see where everything is
Also, for future reference, it's easy to get into download mode even if you can't see the screen. Power off (or remove battery), and then hold volume down, home, and power. This will take you directly to download mode. After a couple of minutes (once you're pretty confident you made it into download mode, press volume up once to accept the custom OS prompt. Once you've done that you should see your device on Odin (the Com port will light up).
While you're in download mode, you can also issue certain fastboot commands (on most devices) if you need to... ie fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot recovery or fastboot reboot bootloader. Fastboot flash... etc. This can be extremely handy when you can't access the touchscreen or can't make accurate selections for whatever reason. It can help you get into certain modes you may need to get to so you can use other tools to repair your device or pull files.
Edited to add: changing out the display assembly is super easy to do. If you decide not to sell it, that is.
I accidentally formatted bootloader, and now my device unable to detect,boot or anything. Is there anything I can do of ?
(might try everything to work it out )
Can you boot into the preloader with volume up and power pressed?

welp, i tried to install custom rom ( which need to download the rar and paste it into INTERNAL) but i accidentally paste it to my SD card. Then i start to install it.
Then i said it's uninstallable, I just restart my phone and everthing went normal buy my wallpaper screen turns black and unable to read it tho USB ( Just the standby screen shows wallpaper)
Then my brothers came out and said that all you need to do is format it again and reinstall. We tired countless times . But then it have another option which above Format everything but not bootloader and another is Format everything and bootloader.
Then my bro press it and ... It became bricked.
it's still warrantyable so .. I plan to play dumb to the warranty company if I can't fix it.
( even if i play dumb idk what reason I need to come off, if i say yesterday the battery from 70% drop to 0% then it unable to open again )
PS: before this happen my battery happens from 70% drop to 0%, after charged. it's fine
PPS: give me a good excuses to play dumb C::
Wait, wait. How did you format the bootloader? No recovery should have this option! The only possible option to hard brick the P8000 is to pull out the USB cable in the exact moment when the SPFlash Tool writes it. So, can you elaborate a bit more about what you've done? I'm pretty sure you're missing something.

Hi,
I did something similar with my HTC Desire 616. I choose "Format All + Download" option with SP Flash Tool. The phone soft bricked. Later I tried "format whole flash (including bootloader)". It's still soft bricked...
Is there a way to revive my phone back??? :crying:
I had the same problem - but it is possible to set the phone to a special bootloader mode called META mode - see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3TmXtOA0IA
To do so you have to open the phone and disconnect the battery. You can find a howto easily on youtube.
Then set up everything to flash the phone (SP-Flashtool, scatter file, etc.) and push the volume down button while connecting the phone to the computer. This switches the phone to META mode, the computer can recognize the phone, installs the preloader driver and finally flashes the phone
Maybe you have to do the procedure twice because on the first connection only the preloader driver will be installed.
This worked for my P8000(B) which I treated with SP-Flash Tool and "Format All + download"
Be aware that you formatted the NVRAM and lost your IMEI's

Tecno spark 3 pro clone flash file mt6570 android 9.0 firmware
Hi
I need your assistance, please help me find the firmware for the above phone. I recently tried to flash it with a Spark 3 clone firmware i got online but it gives an error STATUS_PARTITION_NOT_FOUND and also i accidentally formatted the bootloader on SP Flash Tool so the phone is a brick, it can't charge, and it can't turn on. I have screenshots of the About section when the phone was working, which contains the phone's features model and build but on opening the back cover of the device, i realized its a clone phone and i cannot determine its real model to get the exact right flash file.
Thanks
After turning off phone with battery 1%, it was charged normally.
Later at turning phone on it got stuck on logo and didnt boot.
Redmi note 8T (two years old, worked always very well) , factory miui 10, Android 9... So bootloader closed and debugging USB disabled.
Recovery mode: pressing reboot to system doesnt work, stuck again on logo.
Fastboot works only, after 10-15 minutes on this mode phone turns automatically off.
Dont wanna select wipe on recovery, as I wanna recover personal files on internal phone storage.
Phone serial number is recognized by Linux PC, and possible to boot phone vía fastboot and terminal commands, but does the same behaviour.
The question:
IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECOVER PERSONAL DATA (without wiping all)?
If Yes... What way? And what way on Linux PC?

a phone with a locked bootloader is a wall
and even if you manage to recover your files they will be encrypted
You mean that even though internal memory were extracted and analyzed... data could not be read for being Android 9 encrypted?
So it's not worth to take it to service center...

i don't think so, they will try reinstalling miui which you can do your self ...
With the help of XiaoMiTool V2 (unofficial) compatible with Linux I fixed the brick. It wiped all the internal memory but the flash of stock willow fixed the soft brick.
There's a small mistake on the list of phones of the tool... You must choose Redmi 8T. And the phone was reset as new from factory. Miui 11 now.
This tool was developed by an Italian and allows to flash stock rom with a lock bootloader and usb debugging disabled.
In case it may help someone with same issue. Just need a computer and connect to phone via usb cable on fastboot mode. Of course ADB & Fastboot tools must be installed on pc.
did you recover the files? or did they get deleted?
Hello everyone!
I bought a Note 8 Pro more than 2 years ago and never had a problem.
During classical use, the phone crashed and entered in Fastboot mode.
I admit I never enabled developer options, so no usb debugging and the bootloader was never unlocked, so i used it like a common user.
Before wipe everything inside it unlocking the bootloader, I'm trying to find a way to browse the internal memory and save it.
I don't care how to do it: browsing it booting a temporary ROM and putting an SD card to bring outside the files, or connecting to the PC and opening the memory like a Flash Drive...
The matter is that the phone is permanently stuck in Fastboot mode and there is no way (that i know) to put it in recovery or booting it normally, and connecting it to PC in this way doesn't let me browse anything.
Is there some hope to retrieve some personal files before a total wipe?
Thank you all

Try mtkclient (unlock bootloader unofficial for mediatek without losing data) (in your case will be harder because you cant totally turn off phone, bypass it first). Then flash suitable twrp (dont try to flash official one, it won't boot anyway) (recommend brp 3.5.2 v2.7 for Miui 12.0.x and brp 3.5.2 v3.1 for Miui 12.5.x . If you got lucky, your data not encrypted and you can take it back.
