Stuck on redmi note 8T logo (How to recover personal files in internal storage? - Bootloader closed) - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

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?

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

Bricked my mi max after flashing twrp, is it dm verity?

I installed twrp and bricked my mi max. I slid the slider to allow modification.
I get stuck at the mi logo on booting. It's not moving.
I can't even power off the phone. The stuck mi logo is always there.
I managed to roll back to the stock recovery.
Booting into this recovery is still possible but I don't know what to do from there since it cannot see any Tom to flash.
Booting into fast boot is possible, but the phone is not detectable on PC.it doesn't show up in device manager. It was previously detectable, before I flashed twrp through fast boot .
Is there any way to unbrick the phone without losing my internal sd card media?
No way to unbrick without losing media
Your phone is encrypted
Wipe data from twrp and flash any rom of your desire from ex-sdcard
This should unbrick the phone

I assume your device is unlocked, there's no way to unbrick you device without loosing data.
Try this step
1. Remove your battery / unplug battery & replug it again.
2. If can enter fastboot mode, and type this command on adb
Fastboot device (make sure your device is detected)
Fastboot oem edl ( your device will be blank & become qualcom)
3. If step 3 doesnt work, before connecting to PC. Connect edl pin on motherboard then connect your to PC (detect as qualcom)
4. Run Mi flash & flash your miui ROM, wait untill finish.
5. Try turn on your device.
Hope that help

Stuck in Bootloop

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!

[HELP] Bricked Begonia [SOLVED]

Can you get it to stop at fastboot, and stop rebooting over and over? Like, when it first powers down (black screen), before it starts to come back up, hold power and volume down, and boot to the fastboot screen. It should stick. From there you can flash stock ROM.
You might need to only flash stock boot.img, but when that's happened to me, I flashed the whole thing

So Sad, was stuck in the same situation tried 100 of methods but all in vain, in the end had to send my device to customer care center & received after 15 days without charges
I use to flash rom`s when i was younger phones and tablets and never had a brick, I am glad it`s out of my system, Anyway the 8pro works fine for me as a non-gamer as it seem to be very risky to flash.
Good luck getting your problem solved.

Greetings,
First thing I would do is grab the latest version of ADB/Fastboot, uninstall previous version and reinstall it on your Laptop as Admin, turn off your Anti-virus anti-spyware, optimization program or whatever app you may have running on your Laptop and which could prevent system modification, then run it as Admin. If during installation you are poped with installing more things like MS or google's libraries and such, install them.
You may also try to reboot your phone to fastboot while already being connected to computer which may prevent it to boot to the charging page.
If you manage to get fastboot stable enough when connected and if you have no done already, you may want to proceed with reading the [GUIDE][INFO][PSA] Redmi Note 8 Pro - Megathread + CFW and applying the anti-brick solution before flashing anything else like a recovery again.
Assuming you have not damaged anything else, to recovery from a Magisk installation failure you may only need to flash the boot.img from your exact same Stock image you were on.
If that does not suffice, flashing additionally system and userdata (all data will be lost) should fix it.
Hope this helps,
Good Luck!
PS: I am assuming your bootloader is unlocked right?
[SOLVED]
Sorry for late update. . .
Just like i mention above, cause of laptop that i borrowed so messy. . .its anti-core thing won't allow adb/fastboot connection (that's why, my device suddenly disconected and going to charging mode)
*as soon as i go to nearest net-cafe, i can do fastboot thing (Re-flash stock boot.img and TWRP) and my phone booted up normally ??
Edit : my false because i'm forget to close AVB before flashing Magisk

Stuck in fastboot - Browse for data

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.
