This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread.
FunkyHuawei is a (mostly) paid service which allows you to do the following:
1. Install the latest system software, even before it's released by OTA.
2. Install beta/prerelease system software, without needing to be a beta tester.
3. Recover a bricked phone.
4. Rebranding / Change the region of your phone (China -> Europe, for example, to get Google and so on.)
5. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
Except for rooting, all of these features are supported even if you cannot unlock your phone's bootloader.
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-emui-6-huawei-mate-9/
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
P10 Device-Specific Information
The P10 now has a relatively mature community with many methods to do many things.
However, there are still some things only possible with FunkyHuawei, so it would be most useful for:
1. Installing updates on bootloader-locked devices, even if the update is not approved by Huawei for your device.
2. Rebranding bootloader-locked devices, or rebranding to obscure carrier brandings.
3. Restoring bricked devices.
Note that even though the Mate 10 Root tool is designed for the Mate 10, it works perfectly on the P10 running Android O betas.
This tool is FREE, and might be easier than installing TWRP and rooting that way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on ALL recent Huawei phones, to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!

Luckilly the P10 community here is mature enough that there is no longer a need for Funky's services. However effective Funky may be, we can save ourselves the 30bucks and do it ourselves

Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
We have added a brand new Android O build for the Chinese P10.
You will need to rebrand your phone to VTR-AL00 (all/cn) to install it.
Best to use HiSuite to install it -- check out Mate 10 rebranding information to find the correct version of HiSuite and instructions.
We now have Android O for International P10 and P10 Plus.
Check FunkyHuawei reddit for install instructions, or google for "Android O Builds for International P10 and P10 Plus now available! Instructions inside"
This is great news!!
If I only got some $:crying: but nice news

Hey all, I'm having a problems to which i've been pulling my hair out and not sure what to do. Essentially, I had my phone rooted, although later decided I wanted to unroot. To unroot I used an app called "simply unroot" however it did not fully unroot my device, just made it worse, my phone does not pass the safety net, however "root checker apps" suggest my phone is not rooted, although some apps recognise my phone as being rooted. My phone bootloader is unlocked, but the OEM toggle in the developer options is not set as enabled, and is NOW greyed out so i cant click it, meaning i do not have access to any fastboot commands and thus cannot flash a recovery.img. Although, believe after having trying to unroot it had automatically disable OEM. I have tried to lock the bootloader in the hopes that OEM toggle would no longer be greyed out, but cannot do this as i dont have access to fastboot commands. Even with TWRP i cannot flash anything just promps me with Error 9. I have tried storing the UPDATE.app within the dload folder, but that doesnt work either. I have no idea how i can recover this device. Fell like i've tried everything. Please help.

Why you pose this question in the "official funkyhuawei support" thread is beyond me....
Only thing that comes to mind is: do you have USB debugging enabled in the developers options? It should be enabled if you want to use ADB or Fastboot.

A week ago I bought a Huawei mate 10 with box, was second hand but the aesthetically was new, even with their stickers. The seller did not indicate that the phone had gone through a process of rebranding. Just when I get to my house look for a way to update it and I realized that I did not get the updates by OTA watching the version of the cell I realized that in compilation only appears System 8.0.0.38 (O2YJ) and not as usual. ALP-L29C185 for example. Searching the Internet I found out about everything that is the process of rebranding and what happens to my phone is that the person who did the rebranding did not complete the process, because in the end you have to flash the firmware twice and only once did , is there any way I'm going to do this flash without paying funkyhuawei? Since buying a package of 6 credits to only use one seems ridiculous. No matter if it is an advanced tutorial, I have years experience with Android and Xda Thank you wholeheartedly really need ota updates i have One of they first builds. My original phone model are alp-l29 So I think he rebrand did it to give him IMEI As it was probably a live demo model u.u

Is bootloader still unlocked?
If it is this is a lot easier.
If not you'd have to use DC-unlocker/HCU to get unlock code, then you can rebrand manually to your desired cust.
I think you need 4 credits for that, which is $4 and is a lot cheaper than FH.

Power off phone, hold volume down and plug in usb c cable from computer to phone.
It will enter fastboot mode and should say "Phone unlock" and hopefully "FRP Unlock".

You can get unlock code then through HCU-client (dc-unlocker). It's the only way to get unlock code, but price is only $4 (4 credits) compared to FH which is $40ish.
After you have unlocked phone (from fastboot, 'fastboot oem unlock ##unlock_code##') you could use TWRP by Pretoriano80 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904) and HuRUpdater (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279) to finish rebrand (If you know the intended cust), or use HWOTA to rebrand again to your desired cust (HWOTA: https://mega.nz/#!oeATEQQb!qiP3mYlQQgZYlaS3dbY_QCwNJ-urTKyLQ2zKOA9KP8g).
I have lost instructions to HWOTA though, but it should be doable with the command prompt instructions.
If you're unsure about what cust the seller was planning to rebrand to you can dump OEMINFO from TWRP (Advanced -> Terminal -> dd if=/dev/block/platform/ff3c0000.ufs/by-name/oeminfo of=/sdcard/oeminfo.bin )
then transfer to computer and open it in a hex editor. Then search for the string: 'BLA-', and Search for next until you find one which has Cust in it (For example: BLA-L29 8.0.0.127 (C432) says mine at second result.)
I would appreciate anyones help. I have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro Model LYA-L29. When I run the commands it tells me this about my Firmware Version:
VENDORCOUNTRY: HW/SPSEAS
BASE VERSION: LYA-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.357
CUSTOM VERSION: LYA-L29-CUST 9.1.0.11 (AUSC636)
OEMINFOREAD: LYA-L29-PRELOAD 9.0.0.1(C636R2)
I want to upgrade to EMUI 10 but whenever I try using HiSuite, HiCare App on Phone it says my version is up to date.
Is there any way to upgrade this phone? I have not unlocked the Bootloader because Huawei is not issuing Codes to do so.
I'd appreciate anyones help with this.
Thanks
i have the same problem
Hello, same issus here
1st thing i would try is to contact huawei support chat.
now the more extreme diy method may break safetynet and stop things such as google pay from working. if you decide to try it, you have been warned.
you can manually force an update through USB OTG.
there is a thread on this forum called "How to update Huawei Mate 20 Pro With Locked Bootloader"
it has the information you need to get it to work.
for the greatest chance of success, you want a firmware with the same cust/preload region as yours
(in the case of the OP this would be C636R2)
note, this can only be done with full firmware files, not updates.
you can use an app called "firmware finder for huawei" (play store) which you can use to find and download the full firmware file.
also, forcing the incorrect firmware will brick your phone. very easy to get confused and try to force a firmware meant for another model completely.
theoretically L29 and L09 variants should both work, however your dual sim functionality might stop working.
I did this sort of thing last year and haven't looked at it for a very long time, just giving some info which may get you on the path if you wish to try the diy method.

Wonder if anyone knows how to unlock the bootloader and root the Oppo Find X3 (not Pro)? This is the device that sits just below the Pro-Model - essentially same hardware with a slightly less capable CPU (Snapdragon 870 instead of 888). The device runs a version of ColorOs intended for the Chinese market only (at this stage). Easy to enable developer options, allow OEM unlocking and enable USB debugging. But so far I have not found a way to access fastboot mode and proceed to unlock the bootloader. Any ideas?
Waited 4 yrs to upgrade from a OnePlus5 and these Chinese system apps are such a downer. Glad to see you two on to the right questions.

I'm facing the same issue. Have activated USB debugging on my X3 Pro, but when I shut down and restart whilst also holding volume up button, it doesn't go in to fast boot. Is there a way of activating fast boot by plugging phone into computer?

The steps to enable developer mode? Go to About Phone, there you will see a screen with lots of info about the phone, including the OS. Tap on *Baseband & kernel", then you see three infos. There you click multiple times on "Build number", which will unlock developer mode. This you then find under "Additional settings" in the main settings. Then you can enable "OEM unlock" (which doesn't help unless you can access the bootloader and actually unlock it...) and "USB debugging". I'll survive without root for now, hoping some clever XDA devs will figure this device out eventually. It's an amazing phone, and I hope they will release a true international version of the firmware at some point, so I won't see the Chinese core-apps anymore...
Global phones have purposely has the fastboot command blocked, so even if there was a twrp there is no way to flash it, no matter what you do, holding volume down on boot, commands or any other method won't work. Chinese models I believe can have it done but need to download an app, then apply to have permission to unlock.

Deeptest. Apk or in depth test.apk Google them a new version 1.1 was released three days ago but no info on what model phone it is for
Thanks for the tip. Among other things, I came across this:
OPPO Community
Talk, share, and learn everything about the beautiful possibilities of technology together with other OPPO fans.
community.coloros.com
Sounds like this is for devs only, and not yet for the FX3. So for now, I'll keep my hands off it - don't think I'm at the required skill level yet. But still - a good tip, and it gives me some hope that root access might be possible in the near future.
I have what I'm pretty sure is the global variant and I am able to enter fastbootd
Oh wow. Great! May I ask you to please share how you manged to pull that off? And once you accessed fastboot, did you e.g. manage to root the device? Please, also here, a "how" would be preferred over a "yes"?
Or is there a way to root the phone with apps like KingoRoot etc?
I'm not pro in this area, but i find this:

Well, apparently they do not support my model (which is the X10). Their tool can only detect the phone, not unlock its bootloader
Well, Nokia/HMD wants to have their phones and tablets deadlocked, and 8.3 is my only and final Nokia Android phone.
No more.
Good Morning,
I have arrived at this thread looking for how to unlock the bootloader of my Nokia X10/X20 for later rooting it.
It seems that there is no way to do it.
To do Root I have found this link (is in Spanish): https://www.ayudaroot.com/root/nokia/como-hacer-root-al-nokia-x10/
The option «Enable OEM unlocking», comes in gray and is not accessible, with which I have not been able to apply this solution.
I have found this other article: How to Unlock Bootloader on Any Nokia Smartphone.
Someone has tried?
If the answer is affirmative, does it work?
If nobody has tried it, do you think it can work?
All the best

Nope, the "buying unlock bootloader keys" (I meant the thing in the "How to Unlock Bootloader on Any Nokia Smartphone" article, the official way also does not work anymore, due to the site is dead) way does not work on the Nokia X10/20 (the creators of those keys confirmed with me that it's literally impossible to unlock those phones and potentially any future Nokia phones).
The "Enable OEM unlocking" should not be not accessible, my Nokia X10 does not have that option greyed out.
About the tool used in the Spanish site? I'm not so sure about whether it will work or not. The tutorial video shows a different phone, but it seems so legit. Try it at your own risk, I guess.

About the tool used in the Spanish site? I'm not so sure about whether it will work or not. The tutorial video shows a different phone, but it seems so legit. Try it at your own risk, I guess.

Good morning,
Thank you very much for the answer, but I inform you:
My phone is new, just arrived from the provider (Nokia directly).
-Modelo: TA1332.
-Compilation 00WW_1_070.
-Android 11.
-Actualization May 5, 2021
I have not modified anything, and I assure you that the «Enable OEM Unlocking» option, is gray and is not accessible.
A rectification, I think.
The link in Spanish: https://www.ayudaroot.com/root/nokia/como-hacer-root-al-nokia-x10/#comment-41075
In the article, not in the video; It refers to a Qualcomm chip, but requires that the "Enable OEM Unlocking" option is unlocked.
Three questions apart:
1.- Is there any way to root this smartphone?
2.- Is this option valid to make a backup of the ROM?: [Tutorial] How to use Miracle Box to backup Qualcomm Android firmware
3.- And is it to restore the ROM?: [Tutorial] How to use Miracle Box / Thunder to flash firmware to Qualcomm devices

Apparently, the creators of the site that sells bootloader unlocking keys for Nokia phones said that you should ignore sites like the Spanish link, because those websites write similar content for every device that exists and just replace the device name and publish it again, then again for another device. But I guess you can try using it and see, I guess?
For the first question, I don't think you can root the phone with Magisk? You need some files inside the ROM file, but there's no ROM files for Nokia X10/20.
For the second and third question, I do not know if the tool even works. I do ask the creators of that site (again), and I quote:
I don't think they will work. The only way to trigger EDL on the device would be to disassemble and then short the testpoint to trigger EDL. But what next? What do you aim to do while in EDL mode?
We do not know which bytes are written on the chip that remembers the unlocked status. So, even in EDL mode, there isn't much that we can tinker and re-write to the device. I am also unsure if the user firmware that hmd ships to the Nokia Care includes EDL programmer, they never did for the Nokia 7.2 (the last Nokia device I really tried to play around with). Without the programmer, none of the EDL flash tools will work and we can't load just any programmer. It has to be signed by the OEM. A wrong/invalid/modified firehose programmer can put the device into a non-recoverable state.
HMD hasn't done much magic into making the phones more appealing to the buyers. But they have money and time to make more mess behind the scenes to make their devices more secure (which they think is better).
Sorry for the rant, but there's no meaningful ways to unlock the Nokia X10/20 and possibly any forthcoming phone.

In conclusion: It's impossible, but you can try? (Try it at your own risk of course, you could brick the whole thing, and nothing will fix it.) I do not even know if it's possible or not, so... eh?

Also, next time you buy a phone, just go buy a Samsung/Xiaomi or whatever brand that do support unlocking their phones' bootloader and pray that the phone you bought in the future got tons of custom ROMs ported to it or something, Nokia thinks that locking their phones' bootloader will make those phones more secure, which is purely bull****. If you ABSOLUTELY have to buy a Nokia phone however, go buy an older one, cause the site with unlock keys only support those old phones, and it might be impossible to even unlock new phones coming from Nokia in the future.

Good afternoon,
Thank you very much for all the information you have given me.
It has no solution, I bought an X10 and an X20, because they have Android One and will have updates for 3 years.
I thought I could unlock it and do root, and I see that it is impossible or it is very difficult.

Wait, you bought both? Well, if you're trying to root them, then too bad, it's literally impossible. But if you're just using both phones normally, I would say: They're actually pretty good! The specs are great for medium gaming, the build quality is really nice, the cameras are not bad honestly. They're slightly overpriced, but they felt nice enough to use daily. Too bad Nokia ruined these phones with the bootloader unlocking problem though, and I swear I'll never buy a Nokia again, cause of this problem, even though they might be one of the best phones I've ever used.
Good evening,
I have tried to do what they explain in the article in Spanish: https://www.ayudaroot.com/root/nokia/como-hacer-root-al-nokia-x10/ and it has been impossible to do anything.
I have found the following problems:
1.- The option "Enable OEM unlocking", comes in gray and is not accessible on the smartphone.
2.- You can not extract the "boot.img" file, because at the link that explains how to do it: https://www.ayudaroot.com/actualizar/alternativa-para-conseguir-la-rom-de-un-telefono-movil/ do not explain how to do it for this smartphone, which is "Qualcomm", not "MTK"; with which it is impossible to extract it.
3.- The "Qualcomm" and «ADB» drivers that are installed with the application are not worth connecting the Nokia X10 to the computer, I had to uninstall them so that the computer itself detects the smartphone.
4.- You can not unlock the bootloader in the way they explain it, so nothing can be done.
5.- The video of the end still confuses more, it is not for this smartphone or a similar one.
Therefore, the item is not useful.
Better forget it and not waste time.
Greetings

Good Morning,
After installing all security updates, it has also been made accessible.
It is no longer gray, but it does not work for nothing, since there is no way to unlock it.

also, I think you should try contacting their customer service, and hope that they'll accept or something. If not, keep on annoying them with the "Can you unlock my phones' bootloaders?" question, and see if they will answer or not.
Hey brothers , am a random guy looking forward to get my brand new Nokia x10 soon. And according to all paragraphs I read above it seems the main thing I need from this device apart from daily usage is inaccessible which it ""unlocking the bootloader"* But am not totally sure if it's still impossible because it's almost a year since you're conversing and it seemed to be impossible according to what I've looked at in your Conversations. Back to the topic- I got a Nokia service-center in my area here so I need your advise if I'll be able to take there the Nokia x10 and they unlock the bootloader "Incase I buy it" on their end because there have access to everything I assume whereas they're working for Nokia but it looks risky for me to get a device before am sure if it'll go up with what I need from it.......In conclusion if any of you knows a method to unlock the bootloader currently "because it's almost a year when it was impossible". You may advise me before making the mistake I'll regret. Goodnight
Hello Fellows,
I've got a Redmi 9 Pro for Linux purposes, but the phone came with FRP triggered and of course, I couldn't get access to the sellers
account. I spare you the details, because I am sure, every one knows a story like that.
I checked xda and the web about guides for quite some time, and actually found a lot of them, but none of them worked. At the end I could combine
some of these guides to actually make it happened. I've created a little screen recording to show all the steps that worked for my device.
Yes you can actually install and open almost every apk even with a triggered FRP. Almost means, you can even enable the developer options, but
they don't show anything for that user.
Initial situation:
Xiaomi Redmi 9 Pro EEA (joyeuse)
Bootloader Locked
triggered FRP Lock
find my device - OFF
No MI-Account
Software Variant 1:
Firmware: MIUI V12.0.2.0.QJZEUXM Stable Official Update for Redmi Note 9 Pro EEA (joyeuse)
Android 10 - Miui 12
Android Security Patch Date: 2021-01-21
Software Variant 2:
Firmware: MIUI V12.5.8.0.RJZEUXM Stable Official Update for Redmi Note 9 Pro EEA (joyeuse)
Android 11 - Miui 12.5
Android Security Patch Date: 2022-03-01
FRP Bypass start conditions:
Wifi is connected
The basic idea and steps:
Get into System Settings via the Help & Feedback from Gmail to disable and stop certain apps.
Only for this is the wifi needed, if you type delete, the right help topic will show up
2x Android Setup
Carrier Dafault App
Google Play Services (must be disabled at the very last)
enable the Accessibility Suite to re-enable Google Play Services at the right moment
Continue the actually process to setup the phone, the procedure will stuck at "Just a sec..." "Checking for updates..."
now try to re-enable the Google Play Services, once this is done, the FRP Bypass will take place the next step
One important note, after enabling Google Play Services, its Storage and Cache must be deleted!
This is one of the main reasons why it didn't worked for me the first 100 times i tried.
It does go through though, but right at the moment the setup is finished, the FRP Lock gets triggered and
we are back at the beginning.
Enabling the Google Play Services can be annoying, because the screen is flashing/changing so fast, that the touch
will not be accepted right away. But there is plenty of time to try until it hits.
Finish the setup process until you see the home screen
Execute the factory reset over the settings menu and the FRP is gone for good
Optional, you can enable oem unlock before you factory reset the phone
With oem unlock enabled, the phone can't get FRP Lock on.

Regarding Bootloader Unlock, which es mandatory to install Linux (Ubuntu Touch) on this phone.
I couldn't found any free way to either unlock the bootloader without Mi-Account, or reboot the phone into EDL.
They are some Apps I tried so far:
Xiaomi Sideload Tool and ROM2box from Romprovider.com
But they need MIUI Recovery 5.0, and I only have MIUI Recovery 3.0
And don't want to upgrade, because Ubuntu Touch need Android 10
Does anybody have more information about that exploit these Sideload Apps are using?
I don't get how you can read data from and adb sideload connection, where you just can upload zip files
for updates
EDL from the famous Bjoern Kerler "bkerler" (MTK-Client)
For this tool the phone must be in EDL Mode, which I can't get into it
Does anybody know a way how to do that without Test Point? I tried so many ways, but none worked.
I even compiled fastboot and adb from AOSP, but the "old" ways like reboot-edl don't work.
My last hope is a USB-C V2 Cable/Dongle from Team Hydra.
Updates will follow...
[Update 1: 2023-04-25]
The FRP Bypass Procedure also works on Android 11 MIUI 12.5
[Update 2: 2023-04-25]
I've built the EDL Cable/Dongle, but it didn't work. I've bought the official
Hydra EDL Cable V2, exact same result, it also didn't work. Hydra refuses to give me a straight answer to this issue, even as a customer. The shop I've bought it
from, asked Hydra as well, with the feedback, this could be a SPD issue.
But still, they refuse to tell me, which SPD I need to get it working. At this
time I was on SPD 2021-01-21, and they published the EDL Cable Pinouts in Dec. 2022 [Latest Security]. So this was a very false promise from Hydra or rather mobilerdx, not sure who's to blame here, perhaps myself.
[Update 3: 2023-04-25]
I've wrote an ADB and Fastboot Sniffer for Windows. Which worked
pretty well, and I was able to get the ADB commands from the Xiaomi Sideload Tool. So the Exploit is basically, that you can perform ADB PULL and ADB PUSH while your in SIDELOAD Mode, that's it. And that it uses a built-in command to gather the partition structure while you are in the
normal ADB Mode.
With that knowledge now, I've also wrote a Bash pendant from the Xiaomi Sideload Tool -> Xiaomi SideLoad Terminal Tool (xsltt). Which inherits all its functions plus a bit more user comfort.
With this tool, I was able to delete my xloader, and the device now boots
straight into EDL Mode. Which is great, you can call this a Software Testpoint.
But, there is always a but, it seems that there is still no proper firehose file out there, that bypasses this annoying EDL authentication. And no, I will not even try to bypass that myself, this is way over my head.
So I would very much appriciate it, if someone can point me to a working firehose file that bypasses the EDL authentication for the Redmi Note 9 Pro (joyeuse).
I am facing the same problem, can not find the right firehose tool.
And all the apps that claim they have proper firehose file are all paid service.
since you have hydra tool, did they work for the edl? since they said they have the right firehose file.

Haha, no they don't. They even recommended me the hydra dongle in their own telegram support channel. Now i have this dongle since a day, they say it is not supported in EDL Mode, only Sideload mode. And now i have to find someone who can fix the phone remotely with a auth service account. Isn't it great?

Thank you for your generous offer, I am not sure If I understand you right, plus I don't have the need

flowing in rivers, but can't really deliver.
They are tools called EMT and UAT Pro. Never heard about them before. But they claim they have
auth support for this model in EDL mode. UAT even offers a pure software solution for an affordable price.
If you are willing to fund your self, please try it out, and report back.

I won't be investing in those tools. Both EMT and UAT allow auth flashing however I know a tool called Xiaomi Pro tool which supports auth flashing and it works and the investment is pretty low so I can invest in that tool to help you out with auth flashing.
I cannot discuss any further as XDA does not allow that.

Yeah that's weird, I've read this a lot, never had any issues with XDA about that.
Anyways, I can't find any manufacture website to the Xiaomi Pro Tool, so I cannot compare.
I think 15 bucks for are 3 Months time period is much cheaper compared to the 110 I've paid
for this Hydra Dongle, which brings me zero yet. So please, write me a PM with a link to a shop.
Just a little Update.
Thank your @mvikrant97, Xiaomi Fire Tool did the trick. They don't unlock bootloader,
but flash firmware with EDL auth. And now my phone is back to life. Support was very good, in fact,
they were the only ones who responded at all. Very patience and polite as well. Plus, very affordable.
Once my phone is fully charged, battery was totally drained since it was in EDL Mode for weeks, I will see
what Hydra has to offer. Btw: They've banned me from their Support Channel, without any explanation.
I guess I asked the wrong questions, pitty.
