Help [hardbricked device] urgent need of help asap

Ok so i was just rooting when my phone decides to die during so commands in adb. :crying:
Now i cant turn on the phone or boot into fastboot or bootloader. everytime i plug it in the charging light just flashes. Also my computer recognises the device as qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 . ive read around the internet and ive found two methods. blank flash and qfil. issue is those tutorials were made for the moto g5 plus. I have searched around the internet and im beginnign to lose hope now. Can someone tell me how to fix this or give me the right blankflash version.
much appreciated

Im sorry that i cant post a useful reply for your problem that you cant even boot into fastboot / hardbricked phone.
The following link is for all those that are stuck in fastboot mode / boot loop.
This post says its for indian version, but i have EU version (1676) and it worked for me to get back my phone as it was when bought:

if you cant access bootloader take it to a repair shop - you need specialist software and hardware to re-image your phone
how on earth did you do that - you do know to root this device its just a simple zip flashing in recovery mode - no fancy commands or anything required once you have unlocked the bootloader via the very easy to follow guide on the moto unlock bootloader website

If you are using LineageOS all you had to do was just go into dev settings switch root to disable & restart the phone
If you used magisk just use the magisk uninstaller then reflash the kernel
I don't understand why you touched the bootloader partition

I dunno y either. Luckily I had insurance on it so now I got a new device

Although even though I'm sorted it think we need a way to fix hardbricked devices because the Moto g5plus and g4s have fixes but I haven't found any that work for Cedric devices

How the hell did u hradbrick ur device without an unlocked bootloader. And idk I think that after you start tampering with the os and system it kills ur warranty. You'll have to chat with someone at Motorola

i guess i somewhat kinda bricked my nitrogen, please help out

So, somebody please help me. I had the chinese rom. fully updated.
I have no idea wich version it was but i belive most likely it was the last one since i got the telephone last week and updated it.
so, coming from mi max 1 and then mi max 2 i installed TWRP and booted into recovery
and tried to flash eu global rom but it came out as an error and i downloaded a few roms and tried but no sucess in flashing them and then suddenly the screen went black and i can hear it connect and it will show up in miflash but as for now i dont have the recovery files
and am downloading them at the moment.
I remember running into a similar issue on my mimax 2 or 1 and then i needed to flash it using adb and running the flash system commandoes.
But i forgot them and im sure some of you have done this so can anyone help me finding a recovery fastboot files and give me a either miflash supported file to use or adb files and then the commandoes to flash it all back?
it was something like
system flash
recovery flash
boot flash
etc
But i dont have the files for recovery fastboot
and the commandoes are lost for me.
It was like flashing in EDL mode i belive, if i can remember,
I really screwed up and since the telephone is so new its hard to find the files needed.
Thank you and please excuse my bad English.
The one getting me back ill paypal you a beer.

Which other roms did you try to install?
Latest china official roms have Anti-rollback enabled, so you have to be careful about what rom you trying to install otherwise your device will be hard bricked (if not bricked already).
If your device has bricked by anti-rollback, you need to flash in EDL mode, but EDL mode is blocked on Mi Max 3, so you need a Xiaomi EDL authorized account to flash with it.
Anyway, here is the link of the latest fastboot china stable rom http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.12.0....EDCNFD_20180820.0000.00_8.1_cn_5e8d0ddf88.tgz
You can give it a try with MiFlash Tool.

My max 3 was bricked as well on Sat, no boot, no recovery, no fastboot.
You just need to download the fastboot of 8.9.20 china dev, install Qualcomm driver, then use Miflash to flash ur phone again in EDL mode. That's all.

Can you help me findig the link to dev rom?
I am really really lost..
Been at this things for 24 hours now, and i was working on my fiancees phone at the same time so after twrp my own i did his, and then of course we both have black screens now in download mode, and there is nothing i have done that
will get me back to fastboot or to twrp.
If i hold in power it just kinda restarts download mode i can hear on my computer as it make the Plug in plug out sound from the Usb.
I have already gotten a lot of ugly stare downs from my fiancee now and i really cannot afford buying two new phones and of course i shouldnt need to either as since they are in black screen download mode they can be flashed, but i need the file you sir are talking about and also if you can say wich kind of miflash you used and etc i would be very happy and im seriuous about that paypal buying you a beer and what not thing.
I am going on vacation in few days also so i desperately need the phones to work or its not gonna be any happy vacation and definetly not any "happy times" either. so please help out!!
I am also equipped with teamwiewer if necessary,
Also, i opened up my own telephone and tried shorting out the two connectors inside, "testpoint" but it didnt give any difference at all, and i am out of ideas.
And of course now it seems i have searched so long for the correct files i cant find anything any longer as im stuck.
so .- yeah. Please get me out of this mess.

this is the link of 8.9.20 (latest) dev fastboot: http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.9.20/nitrogen_images_8.9.20_20180920.0000.00_8.1_cn_7c2f993484.tgz
For MiFlash, just google "MiFlash 2018" and download the Portable version, that's enough.
For Qualcomm driver, google "QDLoader HS-USB Driver" and download/install it.
Make sure that you can enter the EDL mode, if you do it right, you will see the device as "Qualcomm 9008" (cannot remember exactly the name) and Miflash will recognize the COM port then you are good to move forward.

Xiaomi has locked the account of the other phone, you need a Mi Authorized Account, which is not easy to find and is paid of course. Don't flash Global Stable over your China Dev, unless you unlocked bootloader officially. But you have the option to flash Xiaomi.eu rom, if your bootloader is unlocked. If not - don't.

I do not really understand your current issue. A picture will be better? In case if you forgot to logout, it's ok, you just need to input the password of that account.
Anyway, you cannot flash Global stable 9.6.6 (MIUI 9) over the 8.9.20 (MIUI 10 - antirollback activated), it will brick again.

Both telephones are unlocked by the belonging miaccounts.
I have run the unlock tool on them both of course before doing the TWRP and then someplace something got messed up, not sure yet and made me in this mess.
What i have done in difference on my phone and the other is that i have opened up mine and short circuited lol almost all check points inside it and after the last link mentioned here with the rom it worked.
but im not sure if it was the testpoint trick at all as that really didnt give any information about anything changed or not.
What im trying to do here now is to somehow flash this edl phone left back to china dev without me opening it up and do the testpoint wich i have no idea helped me or not.
I can try the unlock tool again see if it recognize any phones.
all help appreciated.

Try flashing China 8.8.30 of the other phone, maybe it will skip asking for Mi authorized acc. I have red somewhere it worked .

OK-
So i can hereby confirm that TESTPOINT is working.
So if you have bricked your phone into edl mode download mode and there is NO WAY you can flash it using miflash or twrp or anything, you can open it up and unplug the battery, short cut the testpoints wich in my case was my fumbling around everyone with a wire and then
retry connecting the battery and reflash.
I also tried testpoint with battery connected. I have NO IDEA if that was the case or not.
But i managed to get back my phones, but of course i nicked one screen so im guessing im gonna need to sell this and rebuy a new one with global as to keep the housepeace intact.
So- i will try and rewrite this into something that can be sticked to the front. Including pictures.

So, if I understand correctly, without the testpoint method, MiFlash was asking you for an authorized xiaomi account but with the testpoint there is no need for authorization?

Well. Good question.
Seems like it doesn't need something else than unlock.
But verified account, its really not a big deal.
Just create a miaccount beforehand and wait the 500 or so hours to unlock.
If you screw up something just testpoint it.
But i was logged into the account on the telephone on miflash. But wasnt verified the laptop i used so i couldn't flash.
But with testpoint Wich was kinda nervewrecking i fixed them both. Again.
I will wait for global official rom before doing this again.

My mi Max 3 is unlocked and bricked. Computer detects it as 9008 and mi flash. When i flash 8.9.2 cn dev rom, it is stuck on dummy.img. It is stuck on dummy.img in other firmware versions as well. How can i fix it ?
Edit : solved by Flashing with QFIL.

Flashed mine to stock global rom.
I was so nervous as hell.
Downloaded the official global and didnt even have the nerves to twrp it.
Do i Flashed it using xiaomi mi flasher and it worked.
Dont feel like messing more with it now...

You didn't take a pic of the test points you shorted by any chance did you? I'm sure that will hep out some people.
Thanks

EDL mode without open any hardware?

Is there any way to enter EDL mode without open the back case of the phone? I'm asking this, because I do not want to open the back case.
I read somewhere in internet, someone says;
"If you make phone ARB4, and then try to install ARB3 rom to that device, it will be bricked and will be opening in EDL mode".
Is this right? And is it a secure/reliable way?
Otherwise do you know any other metod?

So just a Black Screen? No Recovery or Fastboot?
You might have to flash a ROM via EDL Mode... The unfortunate thing though is that it will cost you money, unless you still have Warranty...
You said your PC briefly says that your phone got connected. In Device Manager, does it say "Qualcomm 9008" ? That would indicate that your phones' SOC detected that the Bootloader isn't working, and so, instead booted into the EDL Mode (Emergency DownLoad Mode), which is a read-only Mode inside the SOC itself.

Downgrading is not a problem if the instructions are followed correctly.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
This is why it is important to give as much detail as possible when asking a question.
If you had specified that the phone was less than 6 months old, I would have directed you to the warranty as suggested by CyanGalaxie.
Currently the guarantees are under contracted by Xiaomi and the returns are very bad (loss of the phone, broken screen, long delays, etc.).
In your case you got your phone back in 15 minutes, maybe it's better that way.

So I'm satisfied that it really worked within half an hour to "unlock" my cell phone again instead of sending it in etc.
I just tried to downgrade via sideload. that led to the EDL
All in all I'm glad that my cell phone is working again ... I'm just annoyed because I've been playing around with all sorts of cell phones for over 10 years and I couldn't figure it out myself

The best way to downgrade is to use Miflash or the bat file (Fastboot rom)included in the rom folder to avoid ARB.
Phones have since changed, notably with dynamic and A/B partitions.

If you were trying to downgrade/upgrade the FW due to requirement/recommendation by your Custom ROM, you can simply flash the FW inside TWRP/OrangeFox.

This method to have the right firmware for for example an aosp rom does not always work sometimes it is necessary to flash the full rom.
For a version change on a stock rom use fastboot roms which contain all the imgs.

Yeah, stupid anti-rollback thing. Threads like these make me wish someone already unlocks the EDL flashing. I heard developers need some source code or something for it, I'm not sure. But that needs to happen ASAP.
It's totally evil to keep EDL restricted.

For ARB okay but for EDL mode it's just a matter of security, you lose or your phone is stolen and just flash in edl mode and the phone is yours, no.
Then the guy will only be able to flash AOSP roms as he will be blocked by the Xiaomi account.
Note that this only concerns Qualcomm Socs,Mediatek are more less secure.

@NOSS8 We are modders and tinkerers here man. We were doing just fine before these restrictions. These restrictions have been added less for "security" and more to take control away from the end users anyway.

There are patched Firehose files (for QPST) on the internet (apparently circumvents the required Account authorisation). I can't provide a link, but you can google it.
But I'm not sure if those work, because I couldn't find one for Poco F3, and so I too had to pay 25$
It's very annoying that people buy into these pseudo-security lies we're getting fed so often (especially Apple Users). People don't realise this is not about protecting consumers, but simply for lé money. It has always been about the money.
Xiaomi locked the EDL Mode, because people kept buying their phones from China and import them to EU/USA, flash software with GMS and sell them here.
And locking EDL Mode causes more people to pay for Xiaomi Service Centres. xddd
I wish people would just have a healthy amount of criticism and not fanboy for any company, except for Valve. Valve is cool. Valve is love

Question hard/soft bricked

I tried downgrading my Moto G30 from Android 12 to Android 11 using an available stock ROM I found on the internet. At first, I faced some problems and a soft brick, but finally, I was able to flash and boot it correctly. Then, knowing that the ROM flashed was "stock," I decided to relock the bootloader, which was a mistake. After rebooting, I got the message "No valid operating system could be found. The device will not boot."
I spent the whole day trying to figure out how to get it working again. The main problem here is that I relocked the bootloader and can't get to the OS again to enable the option in developer settings to re-unlock it and flash another ROM. I tried using RSA (LMSA) to restore it, but it refuses, and I think it gets the same error that won't let me flash anything to the phone.
During my research, I found that one possible solution is to boot in EDL mode and flash everything again, but I don't want to open my phone and do weird things to get into that mode. Hopefully, there's another solution or another way to get into EDL.
If you have any information that could help me solve this, please comment.

I had the same problem with mine. The thing is, i tried to flash a blank-flash image but it wont go. I think its to early to downgrade your Moto G30, but you can try to flash the stock image in EDL Mode by opening your Motorola. Also you might need to send it to Motorola. Sorry
In the image you have the EDL Test Point you must brick.

Hello again! Do you know how to flash the stock rom in EDL mode? I've found some tutorials but the files required are not available in the stock rom files to do so.

Don't you need to just blankflash it in EDL?
And yes you most likely need to open it.
For the Blankflash you need to download Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant (since lenovo produces moto phones). What this does it installs the correct drivers for your phone.
And the files can be found here : https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/caprip/blankflash/
Good luck and as always, do your own research!

Isn't the point to flash the stock ROM, not to unlock the bootloader?

I think you can flash with Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant or manually, the XML is to flash automatically, you can flash manually each image.
If you cant maybe there is an error along the way.
I might look into this later. I would lock my bootloader to test but i dont have a backup.

That can be the end to your phone. But, if you have a test phone that would be excellent.

I dont have a test device right now so i cant test myself, anything I say might be wrong.
This might be a complete brick because of the downgrade from what I've read.
There is little info on the forum about this issue so I don't want to make wrong suggestions until i can test.

Yes, unfortunately, there is still little information about the Moto G30. But I hope that there will be more information and solutions in the future.

Maybe you can help me with some info i am interested in.
1.You have booted into EDL using Short Pin method
2.You have used blankflash successfully
3.Then you try to flash manually and got Permission Denied?
For both Android 11 Stock ROM and Android 12 Stock Rom?
EDIT: Is the back of the phone glued? Or just clamps so you can put it back with no glue?
Since i want to test this soon hopefully.

1. Yes
2. I used a blankflash successfully.
3. Then in fastboot tried to flash the android 11 stock and after it failed the android 12 stock image. Also i tried the RSA varient. Both will not work.
The back is clicked in place. There are two stickers on the phone. Two white ones, One on the top left corner and one on the bottom of the phone.
But careful when you open the back. The screws are well screwed and the cap over the motherboard is slightly stuck. Maybe this will help you: Dissasembly Moto G30 YouTube

@U_ShowcaseDev Thank you so much! This is exactly what i wanted to know!
