Question Hard brick my device installing windows - Xiaomi Mi Pad 5

Well I did it, I killed my tablet installing windows. The brick started when I partitioned the device twice by mistake.
It is on a loop till the battery dies, can't access fastboot and can only get into recovery.
I've got an edl cable but still the pc does not recognises the device.
Anyone here has had this same issue?
Thanks

If your tab is going into recovery you should try Xiaomi Flash Tool i think they have a sideload or something.
Prior bricking the pad, your EDL cable worked? If so then your only option will be to open the device and search for EDL pads, or ask a Xiaomi authorized service to fix your PAD, this way you will not lose the waranty, if any.

Hard-Bricked Redmi Note 8 Pro after MIUI 11 Update

Hello,
My phone got hard bricked yesterday after the MIUI 11 update. It was running fine before on lastest MIUI10 global ROM with persistent TWRP, root and magisk. Bootloader is unlocked.
The phone dont turn on anymore and just show a white notification led when plugged to a PC. No recovery or fastboot access
If i press volume up when i plug it to my pc, it show up as "Mediatek USB Port" and disappear after 5 seconds.
I tried to open the phone/ removing battery, shorting EDL test points, but nothing happens.
My only solution appears to be using Sp_flash_tool but seems like i need an authorized Mi account flash the stock ROM.
Do someone know where i can get acces to one of those account ?
Thanks for your replies guys !
Redmi Note 8 Pro Hard Bricked
I'm in the same situation.
please help me
Hello,
The same thing happened to me when I installed the Orange FOX recovery, it didn't go into Fastboot mode, so I had to press the 3 buttons and wait for it to turn off completely, open the ADB control console and then connect it to the PC via USB by pressing the volume + button.
The latter I did on several occasions (Turn it off completely and connect by USB). Until I recognized it, when I recognized them, I had to flash the SYSTEM, CUST, RECOVERY. One by one, in total it took almost 5 minutes.
After that the phone started normal, obviously without root, nor custom recovery.
I'm also in the same situation as all of you, the PC doesn't recognize me and I can't go into fastboot
Hey,
I tried everything I could (battery connected/unplugged), my phone seems to have a corrupted preloader and only start the boot rom. That's why it shows up as "Mediatek USB PORT", if the preloader was'nt corrupted, it should be named "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM port" or something similar.
The only way to recover it imo is to flash a healthy preloader using SPFlashTool low level flash mode and next flash a full rom when "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM port" appears in the device manager.
Unfortunately, xiaomi ask for a certified account for low level flashing. I found one but the guy ask for 40$ for just logging it into my pc with teamviewer.
I buyed a Samsung Note10+ in replacement and i'll just wait someone find a solution to sell my 10-day-used redmi if I can revive it one day.
I got hundreds $ of Xiaomi home automation products in my home, but that was my first phone from this brand. I think it will also be the last.
I'm sad to see that their security policy on the phones is so frustrating to the people who just want to have a full acces on their devices.
Authorise can be done with professional tools
Tools like umt, hydra tool, miracle xiaomi tool, does the authorization. And i think mtk cpu Auth will only be available in miracle xiaomi tool, be aware every Auth cost credit of 4 to 10 u will have but credit separate from the tool.. Hope this will help
MOD EDIT: quote removed help our devlopers lmao to get atleast one rom ??
They only need to unbrick sometimes.

I Faced The Same Problem Of Bricked Phone Of Redmi Note 8 Pro, I Was Unable To Enter Fastboot Mode, Recovery Mode & Even Can't Enter Into The System Because I Flash Wrong Boot.img File, Thereafter I Tried To Use SP Flash Tool But Failed Due To Xiaomi Authorised Account Issue. Then I Emailed Xiaomi For Getting My Account Authorised And They Emailed Back And Told Me That They Can't Authorise My Account..
Then I Decided To Visit Mi Service Centre As My Phone Was In Warranty, The Funniest Fact Is The Technicians Existed There Were Failed To Detect The Problem. I Told Them That My Phone Was Automatically Got Dead After Installing An Update Just For Making Them Unaware From The Real Fact.
I Told Them That There Is No Hardware Issue Only Need To Flash Original Firmware But They Are Freak And Didn't Listen To Me And Opened Up Every Part Of The Phone, Now They Told Me That The Phone Will Need 7 Days Of Repairing Take The Phone After 7 Days.
I Tried To Teach Them The Way By Which The Phone Could Be Repaired But They Only Listen To Me And Did Nothing, They Were Behaving Like A Beginner In Repairing Phone,
They Didn't Know That The Phone Can Also Be Reapired During Switched Off.
Now I Have To Wait For 7 Days, So Guys Flash Anything Carefully Otherwise You Will Face The Same Situation.
Thanks
Well I guess I won't unlock my device... To be honest I have no reason to do so. The phone is running great and I have adguard and removed all the apps I don't like using adb.

hi
does anyone find a solution for this?

Well there is now a way to bypass the need for an authorized account, if you device is unbricked. Basically if you flash this before you brick your phone, it allows you to use sp flash to unbrick it without authorized account.

This is only for unbricked devices.... As I stated. If your device was already bricked it won't help you.
I also faced this problem... I used paid service to unbrick it... I must pay 35USD for the service.. but just wait.. If it works I will post here again. I bricked my phone when flashed anti brick on Android 10.. I forgot downgrade it to Android 9

Accidentally flashed to invalid file! Bricked phone! Help!

I accidentally did "fastboot flash preloader preloader.img" and now my phone won't boot, I can connect the cable and the phone led turns on and I get "sound of new device", however I can't do "fastboot devices or adb devices" nothing is found and after a bit the device disconnects from my PC.
What can I do to recover my phone? Please help I'm broke :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Edit: the device is recognized as MediaTek USB Port, but SPFlashtool asks for permission, it has to be the authorized Xiaomi account that I need, I need this service please someone help me
Edit 2: Opened device, removed battery, tried to connect the test points, and no success SPFlashTool still requests authorization, and MiFlash does not recognize the phone at all (I think because it only works with fastboot?)
search in this RN8P thread some people got succeed after draining the battery

The only way to solve your bootloop is a deep flashing, and for this you need an authorized account, search in YouTube or Google, XDA don't let people post numbers or contacts for business , is a rule..

I had same issue but i go to service centre and said that my phone was dead after updating (lie) after 1 hour they flashed my phone and no warrenty void.but keep in mind do not said about root if asking customer exicutive.
Hi - I'm sorry to 'hijack' this thread, but I have a quick question regarding bricking of devices. I've rooted my Note 8 Pro and it works nicely (I haven't restarted in a while). If I bricked it, would I know by now (as in, it would have been obvious when I was using fastboot and such)? Or upon restart, might there be an issue, if I use a new Magisk module or such? Thank you.

Question hardk brick. no fastboot. no recovery.

I was trying xiaomi.eu on my global alioth. the current version for global is 12.5.4 but the one on xiaomi.eu is 12.5.8
using fastboot to update my phone, after a few minute phone went to the black screen forever. I can't even go to fastboot or recovery anymore.
although it's only showing a black screen, have you tried plugging phone in and running cmd 'fastboot devices' to see if phone shows at all?
also, have you tried holding power down for a good 20-30secs to reset/reboot device?
EDIT: read too quick... xiaomi.eu, no miflash used...

I bet you anything you and him had something go wrong with your PC. I restart my PC right before I flash anything and I close all application's and stop everything. While it flashes I don't touch my computer at all. I would assume that you guys might play on your PC while it's trying to flash thinking it's fine. Also you should use data cable or cable that came with it. Cheap cables are junk that's why they are cheap.
There is option to try EDL testpoint method when your phone is totally dead. It means you open your phone, connect testpoints and your phone would be visible for pc in device manager as qc9008 port.
Next step- you cant flash the rom by yourself, it requires authentication. There are "helpers" for that. I found one in Telegram and it took about 20usd and 20 minutes to boot the phone from dead brick (MI9T davinci).

If that's true that's awesome. How do you find these helpers? Do you have a link? I don't even know what EDL is I am wondering if it ever happens to me
Cant remember anymore where I found it, so many keywords were Google'd. Maybe it was some russian content. Im pretty sure I cant post telegram link here so if someone wants it, I would PM.
Hi thank you guys for the concern. Phone has been fixed. There is a remote service guy who helped me by using TeamViewer. If you guy out there who has the similar problem, you can go on YouTube and search "Xiaomi qc9008"

Working in IT for years, and all I can say if it would be true, we would have serious issues. It's not like windows 98 anymore, you can actually use your computer as a multitasking device. Like there aren't like 10000 processes without playing games. It's always easier to blame them, for doing "wrong" things while flashing. The only "wrong" thing you can do while flashing is pressing cancel or the reset button.

Question [HELP] Bricked Poco F3. Doesn't Boot

So I was updating to a newer update in the eu Rom but something went wrong, and the update was stuck. After a bit I got it to work again, and decided to install the stable version instead of the weekly. It was not in the cards. That update/installation also froze, and now my phone is off and won't boot! Oh joy! Is there anything I or an actual repair shop can do, or is it just paperweight, and even if I take it to a repair shop, I'll be paying money for no reason?
Flashing using fastboot takes like 15 minutes for me, maybe it was not stuck after all. Is nothing detected, when plugging it in a pc (check device manager)? Also try pressing power long, to reset it. From my understanding there should always be a way to bring it back using fastboot.

You can always try Remote EDL.
Did you dirty-flash Xiaomi.eu Stable over Weekly? If yes, that's not good. You did a dirty downgrade. Always do a clean flash, unless if it's a Version upgrade of same ROM! (e.g. Stable -> Weekly).
This means always flash Stock ROM before switching to a new Custom ROM.
In case of a black screen (and Recovery/Fastboot being unbootable), you have to flash the ROM using Qualcomm's EDL Mode (Emergency Download Mode). You need to have the phone connected to PC over EDL Mode (Windows Device Manager will show "Qualcomm 9008 Device"). Because Xiaomi locked the EDL Mode you'll have to pay a Xiaomi Authorised Account Guy on Telegram 20-25€. He will remote-control your PC and flash the ROM onto your phone which will have to be connected over EDL Mode.
I can go into more detail if you want. I had to do this once. If you need help/assistance with this, I can give you my Discord or Telegram or whatever. Willing to help.
But fact is, you have to pay 20-25€ to a Xiaomi Authorised Account Guy on Telegram. I know this sounds fishy but it's what we have to do, because Xiaomi locked QC's EDL Mode to Xiaomi Service Centres only, they did this to stop people from porting Chinese Phones to EU and USA for dirt-cheap.
I'll leave you my Discord if you need more help, because I used to be in the same boat and spent weeks reading about it. cyanGalaxy#3161

If you installed Qualcomm 9008 drivers and PC is not detecting the phone in EDL Mode, then the phone hasn't auto-booted into EDL Mode.
You have to boot it manually through either an EDL Cable or by shorting 2 Testpoints on the motherboard (involves taking off backglass). I did the latter.

Yea I might try the USb one, do we know if the usb method works with POCO F3 for sure? Also if I did nothing and I took it into a Xiaomi shop, how much would they charge?

Shorting isn't complicated. Just use a paperclip. Something that's metal.

Heat it a bit with a hair dryer, use suction cup to lift the backglass very slightly and carefully, insert a hard paper card and cut along all the glue.
You don't need a 1000$ machine sent to your home directly by Apple in a fat carrying case.
It's easier said than done, I know that. Just telling you, as far as tools concerned you only need something good to lift the glass, like a suction cup. That's it.

you can remove antirollback, just edit those checkpoints on notepad it will run fine, be sure to flash correct firmware corresponds to your version and release, mine's global so i choose global
but since your problem is now on edl, well... hmm no one but with authorized mi account can bypass miflash tool. either take it to xiaomi directly if it was covered with warranty hoping to get it fixed
dont fall to 25$ guys, sure yeah they hold the keys but thats soo much

yea right but the thing is that mine was purchased from another country so here xiaomi won't take itas a warranty product. I was hoping ir I could find someone here who has the mi authorized account or tell me how to get one. if it costs me to pay only once for getting a permanent mi authorized account I will definitely go for that

Hello, I have tried to flash with qfil but it gave an error mostly because of the mi authentication part of the firmware. I searched for some time and found out that I need a patched firehose file to bypass the edl authentication problem. But if U have any Solutions or suggestions then plz tell me. i will try to apply your method

the thing is that you cant get authorized mi account, someone offers it remotely
surely xiaomi centers can help you with that, if youre paying those remote flashers I suggest you take it there hoping to assist you
or just wait for some exploits on miflash to arise but surely that takes time
Goofy ahh locked EDL mode. Sent you a contact person in dm lol

I have the exact same problem as you. My F3 is only loading the QCOM port and not loading in to fastboot. Please can you tell what did you do to get it working?

This is my understanding. You have 2 options:
Go to Xiaomi Service Center and let them repair it (worth trying/checking out, even if out-of-warranty I think!).
Or, contacting someone who's got an Authorised Xiaomi Account who'd be able to flash the ROM. That's what I did:
I contacted a group on Telegram, got in contact with the moderator. Paid 23€ over PayPal. Needed to wait a few hours for his technician to become available for me. I had to send him TeamViewer session credentials, so he can remote-connect to my PC. He was then available and connected to my PC. I had prepared with the latest MIUI Fastboot ROM and made sure my phone is connected and detected by Windows as a QCOM device. He downloaded some zipped piece of software, opened it, had to move out the TeamViewer session and came back and entered some kind of a Token into that program. He then used Mi Flash (I don't know if *my* Mi Flash, or from his downloaded zip-file), flashed the ROM and it worked.
Actually, during the flash in Mi Flash, my phone disconnected once, which was my fault though. He got a little annoyed, but he flashed it the second time and it worked.
It sounds very sketchy, but it's what I did, and it worked.

I did. My phone didn't auto-enter EDL Mode. I've heard that if the Qualcomm SOC detects that the bootloader can't be booted, it automatically alternates to the EDL Mode, which resides on the SOC itself, is read-only, and can't be erased.
Didn't happen for me. My suspicion is that my phone was able to boot into the BL, but couldn't load anything (Fastboot, Recovery, System..), and so it was stuck there instead of in EDL Mode.
I could've bought a Deep Flash Cable, but I didn't. I think I wanted an excuse to open up my phone "What could possibly go wrong?" =)
