EDL stands for emergency download mode,when you hard brick your phone accidently,now you can't go to fastboot nor the bootloader,so the only option I would have is EDL,now I would have have to flash the stock firmware at EDL mode, which your realme flash tool doesn't have,we cant either use the oppo's msm flash tool as it requires authorisation to flash the stock firmware which comes at a cost,so if u add EDL mode in the flash tool itself,it would be helpful for developers to unbrick their smartphones, mainly the mtk ones as they easily get bricked. Even all realme mtk devices don't even have physical button mapping to go to fastboot mode which makes the device brick easily due to which the development in realme 7pro is far behind..hope you will understand the problem.If there are any one who wants some serious development for realme devices then retweet it
I will never buy realme smartphone again..
{Mod edit: Thread moved out of development, for which it didn't qualify, and commercial link removed - Oswald Boelcke}
without a suitable and functional tool to flash stock firmware, it's almost crazy to install custom ROM
you can flash it using MsmDownloadTool v1.8.6 and use firmware RMX2170PU_11_A.11_200903_29f02403
I need realme 7 pro firehose programmer file to backup partition form edl mode

Hi, I just received my Mi A2 Lite and I have some specific questions before I start trying risky stuff:
1- I read that to flash with MiFlash, I need an authorized account. Is this for specific situations or the MiFlash tool is completely unusable without autorization?
2- I also heard that some Xiaomi devices have anti-rollback protection that cannot be desactivated even with an unlocked bootloader. Is this also the case with our device or since it's with android one, the anti-rollback can be desactivated with unlocking the bootloader? So for example when the pie update is released, would it be possible to go back to Oreo?
3- Last and less important question: if I flash a treble ROM, will I brick my phone if I relock the bootloader?
Thank you in advance!
1. No. You can also use fastboot to flash.
2. As far as I know (and I may be wrong) - there is no rollback protection for Xiaomi Android One devices.
3. I haven't tried that - I assume you mean relocking the bootloader while the Treble ROM is installed? I'd assume you would be fine as you could just run fastboot to unlock again but you can try that out.
I used MiFlash with my A2 Lite to flash stock firmware and I don't have any Xiaomi account. I rollbacked from September (OTA) to July (FULL fastboot rom) and updated again to September via OTA without any problems.
Thank you for your answers
So I assume MiFlash always works for this device? It would be very usefull to have this extra option in case a hard brick happens and the fastboot is not accessible
Isn't MiFlash just a GUI for fastboot?

No, MiFlash controls the EDL. The EDL (Emergency Download Mode) is a Qualcomm feature that has a lower level and has more permissions and higher privileges. And if the device is hard bricked and can't boot on nor recovery Noé fastboot, there's a hardware way to boot into EDL (see here : https://www.google.dz/amp/s/www.magnetforensics.com/blog/qualcomm-phone-edl-mode/amp/ ). So that has nothing to do with fastboot and is more efficient in the case of a brick (as long as there's no problem with Xiaomi authentication
Edit : It also seems that the EDL isn't on the internal storage so even if we manage to completely mess up with the partitions, the EDL cannot be currupted (https://alephsecurity.com/2018/01/22/qualcomm-edl-1/)
Sorry for the double post

It works perfectly.
I'm currently on MIUI V12.5.3.0 but preloader keeps on V12.0.4.0 and I don't need to bypass EDL because DOWNLOAD MODE keeps working.
Enjoy
Hello, does it work even for Redmi Note 9 Pro ? Its qualcomm cpu based one isnt it?
Do you know where to find a scatter file for this : miui_JOYEUSEEEAGlobal_V12.0.4.0.QJZEUXM_597eda23b4_10.0 ?
I only found these scatter files like : MT6768_Android_scatter--AL2522-Merlin-V039-Q-0513--download_true--boundary_false but I think I am not runing MT6768, but some Qualcomm cpu like snapdragon if I am right.
Thanks in advance for the reply

No. For qualcomm snapdragon, you need to flash a firehose for bypassing EDL authentication.
Try to search in google.

thats' what im searching for Redmi 8A - unfortunately all search results lead to your Mediatek posts because you misuse the term "EDL mode" - Mediatek does not have EDL mode (only Qualcomm has)

Just flash stock miui back.
My realme gt master edition got boot looped and the bootloader is locked so is there any way to flash the stock rom without running to the service centre as realme doesn't support booting into fastboot mode without unlocking bootloader..
Sure, if you can get it into EDL mode and there is a loader available for it.
OTOH, some EDL loaders are controlled by lock/unlock status.

I can get into edl mode but in order to flash the realme ofp file i need the msm tool (loader) which requires login credentials that i don't have.is there any other loader?
You can try this guide from 4pda , but you need to do this on Linux

Hi everyone!
I received my tablet with a Chinese version. I tried flashing a global version, but I didn't pay attention and ended up blocking the bootloader. Now it gets the message: "
MiUI version can't be installed on this device" and I can't unlock bootloader to go back to the Chinese rom. Does anyone know how I can proceed?
its bricked forever?
I think not but the only way to flash a rom with locked bootloader is to use edl mode.

I have a realme c21, with realme ui 2, since I hate realme ui, I would like to install a custom rom, the problem is that you can't go is a fastboot, the bootloader is unlocked via mtk client tool. But still in fastboot I can't go there, when I try to go there it says "serial_not_match_ fastboot unclok verify faild". You can fix this, or install rom or recovery without fastboot (the Brom mode does not work, the phone is not found, even installing the drivers)
