[SOLVED] Unbrick with locked bootloader - Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers

As the title reads, I am stuck in a bootloop I guess coming from uninstalling more system apps than was probably wise.
I tried to flash via Mi Flash but I get a "can't flash a locked phone" error.
I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too).
What options do I have?
Much appreciated,
Ultimatum
SOLUTION:
Download latest Fastboot ROM and decompress
Download and install MiFlash
Open MiFlash
Shut down the phone
Power on with Power + Vol Up.
Download Mode
Connect phone to computer, let it install the drivers if necessary
Refresh MiFlash, phone should show up (for me, Device showed as COM 10)
Browse the ROM
Tick Flash all except data and storage
Advanced > clear nvflash_all.bat
Flash
Enjoy!

have you tried to re-install the Driver? make sure that you only use win 64 bit for flashing, many issues occurred when you try to flash using win 32 bit

I am using Windows 10 64 bit. Moreover, I have installed ADB drivers separately (although these seem to come with the Mi Flash utility too).
I think it's intended behavior not to be able to flash via Fastboot with the bootloader locked? I was hoping to be able to restore via Mi PC Suite but it can't seem to see the phone, although the computer does and Mi Flash does too.

try using Mi PC Suite, http://en.miui.com/thread-92720-1-1.html, After Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash

"I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too)."
For some reason, Mi PC Suite is not detecting the phone.

Hello there,
I faced the same situation, but unfortunately in download mode, the phone is not detected in MiFlash, it detected as QHSUSB_BULK in Windows. Phone is detected while in fastboot and normal mode, but not in download mode. Do you have any idea what to do?
I expect this is a driver issue, but I can't figure out what.. I'm using Windows 64 bit, disabled driver signature enforcement, and installed all driver from MiFlash installation (there were 3 of driver notification prompt).

You need to update QHSUSB_BULK to the Qualcomm driver.
Device Manager > Select QHSUSB_BULK > Update Driver Software > Find manually the location of the driver, most likely: C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiaomi\MiPhone\Qualcomm\Driver
The driver should now appear as Qualcomm something, and Mi Flash should be able to see the phone.
Does this work?

Hi,
Thank you for the help. Unfortunately it doesn't work straight away, fortunately this leads me to the right direction, after I tried to point the driver to Xiaomi directory, a window dialog says the driver is 32 bit thus noninstallable for my PC, then I looked around for 64 bit driver for Qualcomm, installed it. I can finally install the driver but the phone is detected as unknown USB device, after removing it from Device Manager, restarted my PC, and tried again, it's still the same, on the third try it finally detected properly. It's working now, thank you very much.
Really weird why did MiFlash comes with noninstallable driver.

you have to flash in edl mode not fastboot so google on how to take redmi 3s into edl mode then you can flash the rom in locked bootloader.in redmi 3 we use volume up and volume down and power button.press all three at the same time and it will take u to edl mode.screen becomes all black but if you plug it to ur computer and press refresh in miflash then it will show as com 10 or 20.thats for redmi 3.maybe redmi 3s has the same steps

I have already tried to switch to edl mode using cmd with "fastboot oem edl" command but it enter bootloop. It happen because oem is locked alongwith usb debugging as I didn't unlock developer option.

then you should buy a usb cable which has a button in it which forces xiaomi devices to boot into edl mode.i forgot its name but i think you can google to find it

I believe you are talking about dfc a.k.a deep flash cable. I have searched alot I couldn't find it on any e-commerce site except alibaba which doesn't ship at my place. Can yousuggest any seller or website if you ever came across selling dfc cable? Deep flash method is the only last resort for my problem other than sending phone to service centre. Could you suggest any website to make dfc cable manually?;as I have searched youtube but non of the method mentioned in it seemed liable to me.

i saw it on ebay also.i think that seller will ship worldwide to any country.
here is the link

You don't need deep flash cable use button combo to put in edl mode. From device manager update driver for QHSUSB_BULK. \After that reboot pc with driver signature disabled, then open mi flash and phone should be recognised. Just found the thread I used to remove vendor rom.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE!:crying:

As I have already said edl mode won't work since developers option was not activated as edl requires oem activated. I had already tried all the methods.
By the way thanks to u all at xda as I have successfully flashed new rom using deep flash cable method...

Nexus 10 rooted in a bootloop
Hi folks! I'm a newbie with this stuffs so I'll do my best to explain the issue. I've recently rooted my Nexus 10 with Nexus root toolkit 2.1.9( I believe). All was fine until I turn it off and back on. Now I'm in a bootloop. I could use the Unroot+flash command but my windows 7 won't detect the device. It only detect it when my tablet is connected and turn off. In that case shows as MTP. Can anyone help me reinstalling the driver or else? Thank you

Unbrick Xiaomi Redmi 3s prime with unlocked boot loader
Hi all,
I've a Xiaomi redmi 3s prime with rooted and unlocked bootloader. I tried unrooting from SuperSu and the phone is in bootloop now. I had TWRP recovery mod installed and a nandroid back up in my phone. But, I can't even enter the recovery mode now. Fast boot is working. Please help me to unbrick it without losing the data or recover the nandroid back up at least.
Thanks!!

in ADB with USB-debugging on you can write "adb reboot edl" in command promt and it should make your phone reboot to download mode.
download mode is the screen off and the LED is just blinking red.
Flash with MiFlash the rom you want?
If all drivers are installed on your pc(adb&fastboot) open adb cmd tool and type : Adb reboot edl
whith your phone on

I cant because phone isn't recognised from miflash. I can only enter fastboot mode but cant flash with locked bl. :/
Also reboot edl doesnt work because pc doesn't recognise my phone.
it's not clear what "not recognize your phone" looks like, but let's try these simplified steps.
prerequisite: your phone is redmi note 3 pro (qualcomm cpu), windows 64bit, mi flash version 20160401, you've downloaded fastboot ROM.
step 1 install mi flash on your pc
step 2 reboot your pc
step 3 enable usb debugging on your phone
step 4 connect your phone to your pc
step 5 in command windows, run adb devices
step 6 authorize your pc on your phone
step 7 in command windows, run adb reboot edl
step 8 launch miflash
step 9 choose rom
step 10 flash
Check device manager in your pc and report back on whether it shows your phone under portas as Qualcomm 9008 port or 900e port (try and enter edl mode with the button press trick).

By saying my pc doesn't recognise the phone i mean that when i have the device powered on an then connect it to the pc, nothing happens. its like connecting the phone with a usb cable and not connecting the other side with the pc. Like the pc isn't powered on. That's why i can't run adb devices and furthermore reboot edl. Also i can't access usb mode in 6.5.12 stable dev rom, through settings and every app that i checked. Its like the usb mode selector app crashes. sorry for my english... i hope you understand me

while, did you follow what I've written?
or maybe you can try these first: factory reset your phone, then when you connect your phone to pc, you should use the original usb cable coming with your phone, do not use other usb cable even it worked for other phones.
then follow steps I've mentioned.
if successful, after step 7, you should see this in device manager windows.

Thanks for replying. My phone finally decided to be nice and when I connected it to my USB 3.0 port on my laptop and powered it on just installed mtp drivers and finally worked like a charm. It charges it can be recognised by PC. I installed global stable ROM now and I am fine. thanks for your time.

On Windows you usually have to install drivers because windows usually don't recognize device as something connected through com port. This could be done through device manager, install drivers for unknown device, browse for location and they are in drivers directory in miflash directory.

haha maybe i am lucky
my computer for some reason just detected the phone the first time i connected to it a few days later.
im having bigger issues now as the flashing took forever after about 12 hours it was still flashing so i unplugged it.
now my phone is bricked i think.
when trying to turn on the phone it is stuck at the mi mi.com logo
it stays there for a few minutes and then vibrates and goes black and starts again.
i can get into fastboot (volume down and power) but cant get into anything else.
You will need to flash a ROM using fastboot.
First install fastboot on your pc: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-t...with-drivers-on-windows-quickest-setup-75174/
Second Download a flashable Rom: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (make sure to choose the right one)
Unzip the rom and navigate to the 'images' folder
Put the phone into Fastboot mode (volume down and power button together until fastboot appears)
Connect the phone to pc with USB
Shift Right click on a blank space in the folder and choose 'open command window here'
run the following commands. one at a time
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

you can use deep flash cable to solve the problem. also you can make the cable yourself. google it and see how to make and use.

Deepflash cabe not needed, i used tespoint to forse in qualcomm hsxxx mode, device is present in device manager but flasher can't see him. I solved phone on the same way on another computer.

How long should it take? Mine is taking very long. And will there be sounds playing of device disconnected and connected again?

Phone exits fastboot after launching MI Unlock Tools

Hi guys, I just got myself a Poco F1 and I was thinking about flashing it.
So first I have to unlock the bootloader right? I had OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled, installed the USB driver and unlock tools and
was ready to unlock.
Booted my phone into fastboot and i noticed that every time i launch the unlocking tools I get kicked out of fastboot, and when i boot into
fastboot again, the PC stopped recognising my phone.
Anyone knows why this happens and what can i do to unlock my phone? I followed the steps closely and tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0 slots.
Any help is appreciated.
its seems like driver issues, you must install
1. miflasher (latest) it comes with qualcom drifers , and it prompts you to install
2. miui pc suite (recomended)
3. i also installed TOOL_ALL_IN_ONe ( https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962603435) because windows (7) wasn't recognizing my poco / (install only drivers,) ( xda ref https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3358711 )
4. I am assuming that you have passed the 72hours of waiting time and your miui is sim verified and your miui account has unlocking rights granted , if all are YES then proceed opening the UNLOCKER app and signin to the same MIUI Account and connect devce in FB mode and proceed!

Thanks for the reply.
I tried installing miflasher and miui pc suite and unfortunately it still didnt work.
I can see my device in adb fastboot devices but as soon as i launch mi unlocker my phone will exit fastboot and i wont be able to see my phone in fastboot devices again until i restart my PC.
And it repeats again and again...

After 2-3 reboots (from starting Mi Unlock), it will not stay in fastboot even for 5 seconds even if I don't use Mi Unflock / Mi Flash, no matter what port (USB 2 or 3) I use. I used my office PC, & connected to USB 3 port (to test) to my surprise I could unlock the phone using Mi Unlock & use Mi Flash to flash MIUI 11 from fastboot even though I connected to a USB 3.0 port.
I just had the same issue and realised both my Ryzen machines were refusing to work. then i plugged into an old sony i3 laptop and voila it unlocked instantly - i would suggest using another machine entirely. preferably an Intel since this seems to be repeating issue.
Or get a USB 2 hub, go thru that and see if it works.

I doubt it would, especially If it doesn't / didn't work with onboard USB 2.0. In my case I could unlock & flash fastboot ROM using USB 3.0 port on my office desktop (i3 & gigabyte mobo) while I couldn't get it to keep it in fastboot mode for couple of seconds using USB 2.0 port on my laptop (i7 based & even after a clean windows 10 install). Better for him to try another Desktop / Laptop.

Mi A3 Bricked, BlackScreen, Not Turning On.

Hey, I need Some help ASAP, I am in a Big trouble. So The whole scenario is that I decided to install the Paranoid Android 11 in my Mi A3 and After Unlocking the Bootloader, I changed the Boot Slot from A to B and Flashed the Twrp file ( to the boot ) and Pressed the Power and Volume down Button, The Phone turned off and is not turning on Not Even the Fastboot Logo, Its Bricked. (Here are some additional Points Which you Should Know, 1. I checked the ports on my Computer and It was Showing Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 So I think the phone is in EDL mode. 2. I tried to Flash Mi A3 Stock Firmware using Miflash and It was Showing Error "Cannot receive hello Packet") The Phone is my Daily Driver and If anyone can, Please help me Fix this.
Even I got the same issue after downloading the latest Android 11, then got rectified the Mobile through the nearest service center.
Globally many people experienced the same issue.

could you explain it more?
I also dead briked my phone after install a11 and used qfil to flash some stuff in edl mode using test points,
I recommend using the right qualcomm driver 32 or 64 bits like your OS and also reboot after install driver,
I don't recommend open the back painel bcs even u doing it right it don't close well after bcs lose stickiness,
If u can just go to a service, they can manage with this better then u.
Same here. Even opened the back cover to touch the EDL points.
Tried getting out of that mode by flashing to stock ROM using the Mi Flash Tool as I'm getting a weird error, `Input string was not in the correct format`. even when using the very same input as I've seen on a YouTube Tutorial & I had also tried it out on the very same version of Flash Tool (and still got the error)

cannot read from port

hey I am trying to flash bricked miA3 on miflash but it constantly given me error "cannot read from the port " can anyone help me what should to do I tried every port of my laptop but it sitill given me that error
You had to install qualcomm drivers for edl mode. Adb driver for fastboot. And put your phone into fastboot mode before connet to pc. Or will do not be recognized

my phone is bricked it does not come in fastboot mode I had accuatly install qualcomm driver to my pc but it still give me that error I open it from back and connect using two points from back but it still given me that error and one more thing I had unlocked its bootloader before bricked
Don't open phone! Simply use USB... Maybe you have made a damage now .. give the phone to a repair center is best solution for you, before hard damage the mother board .. if is not yet... good luck. In my opinion now the problem is not software. You have used a bad cable
Also you are using an old version of the mi flash, its from 2018....

was just thinking about it because the Mi A3 came out in 2019
Another thing... If the phone don't enter in fastboot, mean that bootloader is damaged, probably you have flashed a wrong firmare... Have tried to convert to mc9e? Because with AOSP ROM is quite impossible to make an hard brick. The installing instructions are clear and simply. Now I'm running android 12 beta 3. I have never hard bricked my phone. And opening phone maybe have also caused an hardware damage. But I saw that win have installed the Qualcomm port. So maybe you are lucky. I suggest you use normal USB...and different versions of miflash. How Marvin suggested... For future, use edl mode with caution.
I have a question: what edl firmare you have? Are you sure is correct?
