A big help on my new Max

Hi,all and thanks to read this help request.
I bought a Xiaomi Mi Max 3Gb and 32Gb internal memory from Gearbest, after a few days the device arrived.
And when i turned it on,surprise surprise... the Mi Max arrived with a Miui Account in it.
I 'm able to see the pictures,calls,messages,and is miui account on the smartphone, i don't think that the phone was used,it doesn't any evidence of use,or any thing else.
It apears that they tested the device,and forget to log out and remove the Mi Max from that Account.
I tryed a factory reset,but it ask's me for a password that i don't have, of course.
I talked to Gearbest, that they are taking to long to decide what to do, but even if they say, that i have to sent it back the shipping cost will be high to sent it from Europe to China.
I haven't check yet if the bootloader is unlocked, by adb commands, but i wasn't able to enter in to recovery (pwr+up) it just shows a image of a phone asking to plug it to usb.
And (pwr+down) goes into Fastboot, i have been reading in xda foruns,miui,and in a Spanish fóruns about this and a solution to it.
I know that is difficult to erase the Account, is hard to remove the decide from the Account,and that even that one solution could be downgrade the miui version,enter with a new Account and after upgrade it to miui 8, i have to say that the Max is a Chinese version with multilanguage.
Other solution is if bootloader is unlocked, try to flash twrp, and place a CM13 rom and most probably will not have problem with the miui account.
But how to do it??
And can i in edl mode flash a developer rom even with the bootloader locked, and remove everything so the Chinese guy Account release the Max?
Can someone point me in the right Direction,and if possible to we're i can found a tutorial?
Thanks you

hey buddy u should post ur questions in the q&a forum
anyways

Virtually impossible to unlock bootloader

Guys, I need some help to confirm the only solution I found for my problem, or if I can still try other solutions.
I bought a Mi5s that already came from seller with the global stable rom. I asked the official bootloader unlock to Xiaomi and has received authorization by SMS. But the unlock application stucks at 50% saying that the device being unlocked is different from the one authorized on Mi account. I looked for some solutions like deleting all the devices in the page i.mi.com, leaving only the Mi5s, but I did not have success. Other solution is flash chinese developer rom
Another solution is to flash Chinese developer rom, to confirm unlock of the device on the developer screen and then to use the official tool unlock. But I didn't find any way to flash the developer rom. I've tried using Chinese PC Suite, fastboot mode, MiFlash, and all says that the rom I am trying to flash (Chinese) is different from the rom of the device (global).
The only solution I found is to buy a deep flash cable and flash the developer rom in EDL mode. Or hope to launch the global developer rom for Mi5s, which so far we have no prospect in the short term.
Do you suggest I try some other solution? Thanks in advance.

Try logging into mi cloud with your mi5s using the same account you used to asked the request to unlock.

Already had done it, no success

From http://en.miui.com/thread-482266-1-1.html
Under settings/additional settings/developer options, click Mi unlock status. Click add account and device. Your device will now be automatically added to your Mi account.
Next,enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging under developer options.
Then connect your mobile to the pc or laptop while on fastboot mode. Unlock again. This time, it will be successful!

Same problem. Can't unlock my Mi 5S on Global Stable firmware (V8.0.3.0). And can't flash to China Developer firmware.

Sorry i was on mobile and understood you badly.
According to this:
http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html
You should have that parameter no matter you are at global or not, but if you don't you should flash a developer version, instruction at the same page.
Before you say "i can't flash developer rom", did you tried the updater app to flash it?

Force flash your rom using special cable to enter fastboot to install. I dont know its detail, but the installation called Deep Flash using deep flash cable sold on ebay

I had similar problems and I was also trying to figure out what to do to unlock bootloader on Global stable rom. The amount of people having the same problem where unlocking app stops at 50% is overwhelming ,judging from the comments found on google, but the info what is the actual problem is next to none. Suggested solutions looks to me like voodoo and most if not all probably doesn't have any impact on successful unlocking. As the Xiaomi unlock app is just a wrapper for fastboot executable I've checked what kind of commands are being send to the fastboot when you click unlock here they are.
fastboot getvar product
fastboot getvar soc-id
fastboot getvar soc_id
fastboot getvar board_version
So I've checked if I will actually get any info from bootloader if I send those commands manually, and with no surprise I didn't get any. So this was the problem at least in my case. Some kind of connection problem I'm not sure where exactly the fault is, probably drivers but try to issue those commands manually from command line I can bet you will not get any info from the phone. What to do if that's the case remove and reinstall drivers, this is what has worked for me. Good luck

Had the same problem. Got it solved today. the bad news you need a deep flashing cable, good news you can make it yourself.
Here is the guide:
http ://en.miui.com/thread-310325-1-1.html
http ://en.miui.com/thread-299790-1-1.html

I have unlocked 4 mi phones with no difficulty. Some of them with fake/seller ROM. Once you got permission make sure you have done all things right before preceding to Unlock. Usually it's all about loading the right driver for Xiaomi phone. Using default windows driver is not working. As it's not Microsoft signed driver you have to start windows in insecure mode.
You have to login in your mi account both on PC and on phone with SIM card ind.
Check that phone is verified settings/mi account on your phone.
Best luck

Something is with drivers for your phone. I have the same problem...than i delete drivers and than they automaticly reinstall and evarything works.

Follow the guide that I posted to make the cable(first link), install all the drivers and software needed (second link).
After successfully putting the phone in deep flash mode you need to update Qualcomm drivers (under device manager it must appear as com3 or com10 port after that).
Then use Mi Flash tool to flash Chinese dev rom (http ://bigota.d.miui.com/7.1.20/miui_MI5S_7.1.20_229fa68558_6.0.zip). If the flash fails the first time reboot the computer and try again.
After that sync connect your MI account to the device, enter Dev mode and you will find OEM Unlock option.
Not easy but it works.
Good Luck!

I tried all the possibilities described, that do not need flash developer rom using a deep flash cable. I changed drivers and everything, no success.
In time, I already ordered a deep flash cable here in Brazil. For my part, I thank all fellas who tried to help me but gave up trying anything else. As the title of the topic, my device is currently virtually impossible to unlock in the normal way.

I have same problem to unlock Mi5s before but then realize that you need to update driver on your PC from Keadcom (or samething) into Marshall London Bootloader and it success.
Now my Mi5s uncloked officially.
I just use same Mi account which has permission to unlock my previous device which is Mi5.
No need deep flash cable, just normal cable can do.
Hope this help.

Unfortunately this this did not help. My assumption is that 8.0.3.0. Global stable needs ROM-internal permissions, which are currently missing. (In fastboot mode ADB is able to communicate to the phone, so it is not a driver issue.)

Redmi K30 5G EDL Testpoint

but seems need special account to flash rom.
so i havenot to try and buy EDL cable.
if you success. please teach me.

Hey guys,
Seems I'm not the only one that has bricked his device accidentally xD
In my case, I was flashing an update of xiaomi.eu when the installation failed. I tried rebooting to recovery in order to try again flashing, but I couldn't access my recovery again.
Since then, it boots directly to EDL, without the need to do testpoint.
If anyone wants to manually boot into EDL via testpoint, this video may help you:
(personally, I haven't opened my phone as I don't have the proper tools & experience for that. Even more, do NOT open your device. Otherwise, say "goodbye" to your warranty.)
I see no logo, I cannot reach fastboot nor nothing.
I have tried to flash using MiFlash, and it detects the device!
You have to download a fastboot package, not a recovery package (see mifirm.net).
I've tried with MIUI 12 (both Q and R) fastboot packages and I get weird Sahara errors.
With a MIUI 11 fastboot package, that error is gone. However, I cannot procceed to install as it's forbidden for common users like us to flash our phones in EDL mode. So it says to me that my Mi account is not authorized for this opperation.
My advice (it's what I'm going to do) is to contact to your seller, or directly to Xiaomi, and try to manage the warranty. If you were on MIUI (like me), we should be protected by the warranty. If not, you'll have to finance your reparation.
This turns me off intensely, as EDL should be totally free for us. In my old LG G4, I've flashed in EDL via QFIL many times, and it's not that risky as long as you have the proper files (which we have). In this way, Xiaomi is generating a bad fame & more work to their reparation centers, as we will have to send our hard-bricked phones there.
I've seen also some online services that either sells authorized Mi accounts for EDL, or that log in with a verified Mi account in your PC via TeamViewer to bypass that verification.
Sincerly, I'm not thinking in paying 30$ for something that should me free for us, so I cannot recommend this for now...
I will update my situation in future posts here. Until I get my K30 5G back with live, my development for this device will be stopped.
Good luck to everyone!

Warranty doesn't protect me in Spain as this phone is only sold officially in China...
I could either contact my eBay seller or contact with someone of those authorized EDL accounts.
I finally had to contact a man with an authorized account, and pay my own reparation (25€).
Idk if it's allowed in xda to share the TG nickname of that man as it can be considered as "spam" of a service.
Talk me to TG if you wanna know more details.
But yes guys, we still have a solution to our bricked phones! Mine revived in 15 minutes

Mine is not bricked. I am glad to see that you found a solution for not much money.
We all know the risk we face when buying China only phones, but the price for the performance is always very tempting.

Elite OS. Was unlocked.

Does anyone have EDL access that would be willing to save me?

I gess u used MiFlash tool if u locked ur bootloader (clear all and lock), so I guess again that u flashed an stock rom (since MiFlash tool works with fastboot stock rom only). That means that ur not on Elit ROM anymore but in a stock ROM. If u can access fastboot as u claimed, try to unlock ur bootloader again....maybe a miracle is happen and it will work without bonding ur account to ur phone In this stage, u can not mess up ur phone more, so give it a try

Try to unlock bootloader again. It should be possible if you unlocked bootloader before.

It doens't work, it asks me to do the old adb, i can't get in the phone to enable unlock.
but yes, i did...rookie mistake, poxy thing shouldn't even be there and now Im more screwed than ever

What did you flashed with miflash?Stock rom?
When the phone starts at the POCO logo do you have the little lock at the top of the screen locked ?

You can try this guy https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/bricked-mi-8-edl-flashing-problem.58984/#post-582694
Personally didn't contact him, so you have to risk it to verify, and high chance to charge you some repair fee.
If you think everyone who offers EDL but request payment is fishy, then your only choice is Xiaomi repair center.
In your state, chances for EDL access free of charge is extremely low, even non-exist.
If you want free of charge, then try Xiaomi repair center. There's chance for free repair, that is, if your device meet the warranty coverage policy.

idk

I had a similar issue with a Motorola. I tried this, so no promises...but generally I think it's "hot booting" the boot image. I ran the command:
fastboot -b flash boot boot.img
It returned some output like "downloading..." and something else. Of course, locate and put your matching boot.img file in your fastboot directory before flashing. Afterwards, my phone booted into the system like nothing was wrong. I suppose it didn't make it to flashing the system partition? which left it bootable?
Please, corrections, I'm uh, new <----.

You cant flash anything via adb if your bl is locked -_-

If you have an f3 and flashed a fastboot rom you shouldn’t get any issue!! There is a little tool to switch to edl from fastboot , but even having access to that you need a verified mi account to flash or pay someone , its around 25$ had the same issu 7 months ago i can provide you the contact of a legit guy who did for me

I think you have to first put your phone in edl mode by opening the case (melt the glue using a hair dryer) and shorting 2 pins. You should start worrying about edl credentials after you have done that.

Yes, apparently you can. My bootloader was locked when I input that command. The phone then booted into the normal system. You have to have a matching boot image though.

Question OnePlus 11 Unlock bootloader/msm tool/custom rom

Hello brothers!
I'd like to know more about unlock bootloader, msm tool and about custom rom.
Does oneplus give us the ability to unlock the bootloader?
Is it possible to create a msm tool for it? I know that oneplus 10 pro had a problem with it...
As a oneplus 8/8 pro, 6T, op5, op3 and op1 user I always liked the fact that these were perfect phones for development. oneplus gives us such an opportunity at all now? My question is because I haven't seen it on op10pro...

No
There is fastboot enhanced which doesn't save you if you hard brick and can't get into fastboot flashing mode(not stock bootloader). Chinese users say there is a flash tool but nothing has surfaced yet. A dev who was trying to make it work for a cease and desist message from oppo

Oh that's stinks msm was a godsend for me because of the readback function built in to pull stock boot image for magisk

I bricked my OP11 and desperately need MSM : (
BL is locked, it stuck in a bootloop to recovery mode
PC can't detect the phone.
I couldn't get back to FASTBOOT with pressing physical key. Please help!

i had same issue, try disconnecting the cable then turn on while pressing all keys, somehow i got to fastboot,
am there at moment trying to figure out next

Thanks for sharing, I definitely need to try that! Did you press all keys and hold, or just press randomly?

So I can't get the drivers to recognize the device. OP does not have the 11 listed in the drivers download page. Are there other drivers that work?
**UPDATE** Disregard. Figured it out.

if you can access 9008 mode then you can recover It

Can you please tell how? My phone was stuck at EDL mode. I couldn't find any guide on how to recover and for some reason, QLMFlasherTrial was not opening in my PC. I have my phone to service centre for repair and still waiting.

Is there a link someone could share for unlocking bootloader or perhaps the payload dump method?

Hello brothers!
I'd like to know more about unlock bootloader, msm tool and about custom rom.
Does oneplus give us the ability to unlock the bootloader?
Is it possible to create a msm tool for it? I know that oneplus 10 pro had a problem with it...
As a oneplus 8/8 pro, 6T, op5, op3 and op1 user I always liked the fact that these were perfect phones for development. oneplus gives us such an opportunity at all now? My question is because I haven't seen it on op10pro...
I hope someone can answer these questions and we can talk about it together.

Just click on it and it will expand then just look
"Working/Qualcomm" and all of them are for Qualcomm devices/software.

Update: I went to service centre in India to fix my bricked OnePlus 11. Service centre didn't have enough software yet to fix. Also My device was the first device registered to be fixed. So I'm getting a replacement of the device.

did you try to flash oos via edl or did you try to flash the firmware that was on the cell phone via edl? (if that is a china op11 you should flash coloros by edl with the tool if you have an AUTH. for the tool

That didn't work when I tried. Actually I tried fastboot oem unlock. That's still the correct phrase right?
