Hi guys, i was trying to flash a global stable rom with edl and miflash but something went wrong and miflash says that memory was unsifficient. What should i do? I'm on windows 10 64bit with all adb installed (i think). I even disabled the driver license. I didn't do nothing since the error and i don't know if i should unplug the cable or whatever.

hey, it says flash done (sucessful), but my phone still with black screen and nothing happens, should i just wait?

Hi guys, im not sure if this will help you or not but my phone bricked last night and ive manage make it work again by following this method but it little bit different so when it my phone successfully flashed, i just left it untill the batteries is empty by left it all night (before bricked the batteries was 50% i think), maybe it will take longer then mine and if this method work it showing battery empty indicator like normal phone.. ps: when my phone bricked i had no fastboot no recovery no edl, just black screen and red light indicator.. good luck guys

i have used the test point method and successfully flashed the latest Rom V8.5.2.0 with the latest MiFlash 201612220. after flash done, the phone still cannot turn on... anybody can help???

[Q][SOS][Xiaomi Hongmi S1] Recovery

Hi there guys!
My Xiaomi Hongmi S1 couldn't pass the boot phase after me trying to install Xposed. Then, the software Mi Phone Manager tried to recover the system files with the phone in fastboot (in this phase I still could enter fastboot and recovery) - somewhere along this process I had to leave and, when I came back, I had an error message in the software and the phone was turned off. After this I could not turn the phone on anymore, not even into fastboot or recovery.
MiFlash detects the phone even like this, but is unable to flash things into it.
PLEASE, HELP ME!
Someone?
Go in fastboot to pc
(you probably see anything on your phone)
On PC you can see if you are in fastboot by
Klicking on Refresh button on MiFlash you will see that you are connected
And Flash stock rom
See On thread (1)
(Also See MiFlash Picture from Thread)

If that fails, your phone is probably broken.

Redmi note 3 bricked?

Hello,
I just received my redmi note 3 SD, with globale stable rom...
I wanted to install CM13.
So first, i wanted to install global dev rom to unlock bootloader.
I tried with updater but i have an error.
I tried with fastboot global dev rom and miflash with the tuto but i have always error.
I tried different version of rom and miflash and now my phone is on black screen. I haven't any acces to fastboot mod with start button+volum - or +.... I have only red light and black screen and when i connect phone to pc i see that: Qualcomm HS USB Diagnostics 900E (com10).
Can you help me to unbrick please?
first: u dont unlock the bootloader by flashing global dev rom ... u unlock the bootloader by either request official unlock and using the official xiaomi unlock tool or use the inoffiial method.
is the red light flashing? maybe youre in EDL mode? then u can flash the whole rom
I have one redmi note 3...unlocked with cm13 since june... i did all myself.
The new redmi note 3 with problem is for my father, i formatted my PC so i reinstalled all soft yesterday. I know how to unlock bootloader but i think i must be with rom global dev...
i think i'm not in EDL mode because when i refresh in miflash, i can't see my phone. Before, when i was in EDL mode, my phone was detected by miflash...
I have the red light ....
I see a solution is to remove backpanel, and remove the battery to reset the phone but i'm afraid to do this...
Thanks to help me

you don't have to be on global dev rom to unlock bootloader, i unlocked mine officially on global stable rom
I have opened the back panel, disassemble motherboard and push the 2 pins... After, my device was detected as Qualcomm 2008 and not 900E and it was detected into miflash old version...
I tried to flash the last fastboot globale stable rom but i had an error " max buffer sector is 256"... And my phone came back to Qualcomm 900E in the windows 10 settings... And it's now not detected by miflash... I need to unmount again and touch the 2 pins on motherboard...
After what i can do to flash a rom correctly?? I don't understand why i have always an error...
Use newest version miflash on windows 10. Make sure it's plugged into USB 2.0 port.
Hello,
Problem solved... I disassemble a second time the phone, i pushed the 2 pins on the motherboard.
I did the same as this tuto: http://en.miui.com/thread-245347-1-1.html
At the middle of the tuto, i don't understand why but my phone turn on with logo "Mi" at boot!!! And the phone boot correctly...
On my PC, I have unistalled all programs and reinstalled all,.. After, i have installed ROM Global dev>Unlock BL> Install TWRP>Install CM13>Install Gapps... And now the phone works fine!!!
Thanks!

Need help with bricked kenzo

I know there is few hundered threads with "unbrick" in title but I read them all and nothing seems to work.
Friend brings me kenzo that he gets since his cousin brick it while trying OTA.
When I power phone its start to load system and it has 3 stages:
1. Show screen with "powered by Android" and 3 dots in the bottom, usualy about 4 min and restart
2. After restart just get black screen with Mi logo in the middle, for about 30 sec and restart
3. Instead of Android with dots bottom have white line progres bar, it takes 4 to 5 min and restart again.
After that stage 2 and 3 repeat for long as you have nervs to wait .
Phone can get in recovery and fastboot mode. And when I put him in test mode just show test screen and cant do anything.
In fastboot mode MiFlash recognize phone but report "device is locked" (try with 20160401 and 20160830).
After that i put him in EDL mode (fastboot reboot-edl) and MiFlash report successful flash. But nothing changes.
I try flashing global stable v8.0.5.0, china stable v8.0.4.0, global dev v6.10.13 and at the end global stable v7.2.5.0.
Any idea welcome. Thx
Have you tried to unlock bootloader? Perhaps install TWRP and do a system/dalvik/cache wipe and install MIUI through that?

Cant do that. Even unofficial unlock need phone to be working to enable USB debbuging and accept RSA kay from PC.
Edit: Right now looking for ways to edit boot.img to unlock bootloader in attempt to get any useful recovery.
you can try this guide to flash twrp altogether with rom. after flashing, directly boot to twrp and move to custom rom

I will try... but dont think it will do the job. Will post result little later.
EDIT
It dose not work, just as I think.
All that kind of method/advice need 2 things:
1. Enabled USB debbuging - You cant do that on bricked phone even if you edit boot.img ( ro.debuggable=1 ) because fastboot will not execute command since you will not have option to accept RSA kay from PC on your phone and complete that action.
2. Dev ROM - since you have to enable OEM unlock and that option you have only in dev ROMs. Even Xiaomi official unlock requires that you must do it on dev ROM and that is a reason for "stuck on 50% in unlocking".
I try all that I can think: edit boot.img file, use patch emmc_appsboot.mbn, use edited flash_all.bat and rawprogram0.xml, insert sTWRP and ZCX TWRP in fastboot ROM... and all combination of that. Did it on 7.2.5.0 and 8.0.5.0 stable and 6.8.18 dev (since its last 5.1 ROM that I have).
Most of this attempts ends with "3 stages" explained in the first post. Some just show Mi logo for few sec and restart, once even power off phone. And once I even get phone to go directly to sideload/recovery state showing picture of the phone and usb cable.
Only thing left now is to find info is there difference in accessing to EDL mode between software (reboot-edl), deep flash cable and testpoint. IMHO there is none or little difference. Since software and deep flash can be troubled with bad USB cable or connector or USB board in phone.

Big bricked device problem on EDL Mode

I bricked my RN3Pro on AOSP Extended Rom so i started to flash Xiaomi official rom by MiFlash. That took me 2000seconds on MiFlash so i disconnected phone (to try it again). It crashed from fastboot mode to EDL (red led is blinking). And now.. My phone is undetectable on my PC and two notebooks. I have xiaomi drivers / google drivers, tried to add new android drivers. Nothing helps.
Trying to detect phone by MiFlash, adb, fastboot programs (some versions.. "minimal" too). Its still undetectable. Devices list is always empty. I don't think this is because of the drivers, this was ok before installing this bad xiaomi rom.
I need my phone tomorrow so please help me!
Just press power + volume Down
Then unlock bootloader and then reboot phone
I have the same issue, stuck on EDL (red led blinking) unable to be detected on anything, cannot use buttons to get into Fastboot or recovery.
Please help!!
Use test point method...... U will find the trick on YouTube...

Nubia Play_Redmagic 5G Lite NX651J Unbrick Tool release!

Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.
Your Post Very Helpful For Us ,
I Am Test This File Then Post Result , Thanks For This File Provide !!!
johnny886 said:
In China, this Phone is called Nubia Play, and the Global version is called Redmagic 5G Lite,
but the mobile phone model is NX651J. Generally speaking, the two are only the difference in ROM.
This is the edl firmware of Nubia Play,CN version.which can repair your phone in edl mode.
All the files are from the official package without any modification!
How to do?
1.Open XiaoMiFlash.exe in the MiFlash folder
2.Click the select button to select the images in this firmware
3.The phone enters edl mode and connects to the computer with a usb cable
(If your phone is in edl mode (9008 mode) for a long time, you must long press the
power button volume + and volume-keys to force the phone to power off, and then re-enter edl mode)
4.Click Loading and see the COMxx that appears, indicating that your phone is connected. Then click Flash
5.Then just wait, prompting flash done!sucess! It means that the flashing has been completed,
long press the power button to restart the phone!
When you see the green notification light next to the front camera light up,
you can release the power button.
Good luck!Enjoy it!!!

Why do I use scarlet letter when I use flash
The brick tool has worked on a few occasions ,thank you for that but now I need more help or suggestions, when playing between the Spain ROM and China version I lost the baseband and IMEI.Then I thought,locking the bootloader back would help obviously it did not work. Now even though I flashed the unbrick tool though miflasher edl mode I am stuck with a blank screen after the Nubia logo and port Qualcomm 900e in Windows device manager.
Tried already via recovery to flash an update China version or Spain version they flashed fine however still same scenario after Nubia logo.
Not sure what my options are.
Does this work for updating or just brick?

It does work to fix the update errors and then use the OTA or USB Otg method
@johnny886
Thank you for the tool.Just wondering if there is a version for Android 11 as i updated to 3.16 android 11 firmware via the usb and now I get your device is corrupt.
Obviously my problem dates back to unlocking and then relocking the bootloader which somehow bricked the phone. Even though before relocking the tool worked once the bootloader was locked the phone wasn't able to boot into system but I was not getting the device is corrupt.
I am hoping for a way to unlock the bootloader or to be able to get back into the system to tick the option in the developer settings hence I am keeping my hope for an updated unbrick tool.
I donwload the file and uncompress it, when select the folder with XiaoMiFlash is shows "could't find flash script".
There are no flash_all.bat file on folder
any help, where is that file?
(mega interrupt the download process)
@ecatombe1234
In my case said the same with regards the script but had flashed fine once started.
Just be careful if you have the bootloader unlocked do not lock it again with the fastboot flash lock.
Thanks for you, really soon, response.
Yes, I try, put phone in edl mode, refresh, flash, and recive [... COM8]:ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE 0
@ecatombe1234
Usually this is down to the drivers used for Qualcomm Edl mode. Have you installed them ?
Is the EDL mode phone recognized in the device manager as Qualcomm??
Yes, I have correct drivers, I restored the phone last year, but not now.
Xiaomi tool detects phone in bootloader and in edl mode.
Windows detect phone in edl mode as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM8).
I tried with QFiL too, but I am not sure the config to work qith this, because it detect mobile in edl mode.
Any way, Xiaomi tool has very few config options, I can's understand the "could't find flash script", can any one give us ligth about this error?
It was xiaomi flash tool version, I tried a lot, finally this one works, it is the only one that works with corrupted android 11 version.

That will work to my dead boot nubia paly 5g?
@ecatombe1234
Thank you for the version even though this version got me a bit further in a Chinese testing menu still couldn't boot into system .
Must be something to do with the relocking of the bootloader.
Helo guys.. How can I downgrade from android 11 back to android 10 on this device? I recently updated my software but It is not stable yet. Certain apps for example PUBG mobile keep crashing whenever I try to launch it.

I've been following your discussion on this thread and had the same problem after ota update to 3.16.
I also had initially difficulty flashing with MiFlash but finally it worked.
I immediately pressed the flash after entering EDL mode
My phone flashed and entered the Chinese mode. I then went to bootloader by hard pressing the power button and Vol down key.
In bootloader I entered recovery which allowed me to update using OTG. I used a flash with USB C and loaded the phone with NX651J v 22 and my phone is back to the previous settings.
