So it looks like some of you really need help with unbricking your device - let me guide you.
This is my first Xiaomi device (K20 Pro) and i hard bricked it after 30h of usage.
fastboot locked and "your system has been destroyed" message - nice!
So yeah, i was looking for some unbrick methods and didn't found any, so i researched a bit and after a few hours it was done.
Unfortunatly this method isn't free - but it is the cheapest solution out there without a needed appointment - aka fully automated.
For the moderators: this is the one of few available services to authorize a EDL flash, it is the cheapest and the only automated service.
I do not intend to do any kind of promotion here. Once a free method or cheaper service will be available, i'll update the thread accordingly.
Step 1: Open your phone - take off the backpanel and mainboard shield
JerryRigEverything K20 Pro Teardown - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd6KpX5MRtI
Note: only top mobo shield needs to be removed, you can use a thin guitar pick instead of the razorblade (to prevent damage)
Step 2: Get your K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro into EDL mode

}
1. First of all, unplug the battery connector (blue) from the phone.
2. Now short the 2 points (red) and keep them shorted.
3. Last but not least, plug the usb cable into your usb 2.0 port
(yes, the battery must be disconnected, yes, while doing so you must have the test points shorted)
4. Your phone should now show up in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" or "QHSUSB_BULK"
5. if your phone appears in device manager as "QHSUSB_BULK", you have to install the proper driver before proceeding,
please check out this tutorial: https://xiaomibuzz.com/downloads/download-qualcomm-qdloader-usb-driver.html
Step 3: Flash your device
1. Make an account at https://s-unlock.com
2. Press "Add fund" in the main navigation bar
3. Add 15$ to your account, i prefer to pay via PayPal - this would be 0.98$ fees - so after fees you pay 15,98$
4. After clicking on "+Add Fund", you'll be redirected to an invoice where you can pay through paypal
(paypal express selected in payment gateway option) via the "Pay Now" button
5. now the necessary credits will be available in the credits balance in the main navigation bar
6. download and install the latest version of xiaomitool (v0.2 currently) here: https://xiaomitool.net/download
7. after installation is complete, open the program and copy the "Fingerprint" from the "Login Area" section
8. open the site where you can order the needed service for the edl flash https://s-unlock.com/users/server-order?server_service_id=172
9. paste the previously copied fingerprint from xiaomitool into the fingerprint input field of the website and input quantity 15 (just like shown on the screenshot)
Note: the username and password on the order site do not have to match your s-unlock user account, you can pick a different username/password - just remember them!
10. press submit - your credit balance on the s-unlock site should show 0 now - don't worry, your credits have been transferred to the xiaomitool account
11. Open xiaomitool again and login with the credentials you chose during the order process (see step 9)
12. after clicking login, the program connects to the server and shows your current balance of 15 credits
13. download the correct fastboot-firmware for your phone from here https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/raphael/
Note: Chinese variant requires chinese firmware on locked bootloader, same applies to india, russia, eea (eu) and global.
14. extract the downloaded fastboot firmware through winrar
15. select the extracted firmware folder in xiaomitools
16. Press "EDL flash" - it should detect your phone as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Device" and request an edl authentication for 10 credits
17. confirm the popup - and the flash process starts if you did everything right
18. Congrats, you unbricked your device - and i'm sure you are able to reassemble it again by yourself
very detailed guide, thanks!
I have two questions,
how was your device bricked?
why does this work? why normal edl flash method wouldn't work?

some pictures are still missing, but they'll be added soon.
i locked my chinese k20 pro while beeing on the eea rom, turned out that was a bad idea.
well, xiaomi requires an edl flash to be authorized, and they just do that for service centers for example.
regards
Great, thx.
That's it... I have no intention to brick my device, but is really nice to know that, if all goes wrong, we still has a last solution. This forum needs this tutorial...
Congrats.
Great tutorial bro.
why shouldn't we try authorised service centres first?

You can, but if you've bought the phone from a different region they will probably refuse to look at it. If they will look at it, they will charge more than the cost of s-unlock credits.
Nice tutorial , useful for someone in the situation that you was are in to.
I have one other question that you probably do not have the answer to.
If you flash using this method an for example GLOBAL rom on CN device, will it unlock all the bands?
Using this method does it flash the modem firmware? Because the 855 modem supports all the available bands, but some are disabled by software.

No. You cannot unlock radio bands by flashing the modem firmware. If it was this easy there would be no point to Xaiomi setting different bands for different regions.
I have a question about rom, the model of my redmi k20 pro is M1903F11A, during my research to get rom I saw that for this model would be rom Davinci and not Raphael, or am I mistaken? Does this process you describe only work with this raphael rom?

it is raphael - k20 pro.
This process can be also applied to other xiaomi devices, but would need other fastboot firmwares.

Why this(Hard Brick) happened exactly?
last doubt before trying
Hello,
One last question, as I'm afraid of just spending another $ 15 and further increasing my $ 280 loss.
When you needed to do the procedure was your cell phone completely dead like mine? No bootloader, no fastboot, only black screen, no led on? Just being recognized in Window as QDloader 9008?
I am finding it very strange that my mobile is recognized as QDLoader 9008 without having to do the testpoint procedure. When I do testpoint nothing changes, continues QDloader 9008.
And another question, with $ 15 I only have one try? Or one flash successfully completed?

it'll authorize first before flashing everything but it sends a package to test everything to the device before, otherwise i can only suggest to pick a USB2.0 port while flashing.
And yes, i think its also possible to enter edl mode through a modified usb cable. Give it a try, it should work if you flash your original rom -> rom the device came with.
Regards
Ok, thanks for the tips, I will try this weekend calmly and well rested :good:
Although I am not very confident as i do not know so far if may phone is in EDL mode at all.

5. Once complete take the battery out; Re-Assemble, Switch on
OTHERS follow the following POST
NOTE: I do not take credit for any of the work by respective developers. I'm a lame user and that's my best quality. I would prefer things to be simple enough, if not I find one.
So for those who have been looking around for a Nokia Lumia 710 FULL UNLOCK and are jumbled with programs X, Y and Z and files A, B, C; everything seems right when your are following some steps and then, at some point of time, unfortunately for some it stuck and sucks. I've tried many things and the following is the one I like the most and find the easiest. Best of all, you don't have to worry about the DLOAD.
NOTE: One small mistake and you might brick the phone, so be careful.. I or the developers nor the forum is anyway responsible for your loss. But if you be careful, you won't have to worry.
READ the entire post and understand BEFORE you TRY
Step 1:
Download the required softwares.
( All required files are hyper-linked below )
i)> NSS PRO 0.48 or NSS PRO 0.51
ii)> QUALCOMM BOOTLOADER for Lumia 710
iii)> Depending on your system configuration, Windows USB Drivers either x86 or x64
iv)> Any one of your desired Custom ROM :
A. Rataplan Final, based on Nokia firmware 1600.3037.8862.13170 ,
B. Lumiatrix^8 V 5.1 based on 7.10.8835.35
C. Reality ROM based on 7.10.8858.136
D. fabiode34's Custom ROM
NOTE: You need only one ROM. so pick any. I've been using RATAPLAN's ROM.
Do Not Forget to thanks the Developer, whose ROM you are using.
Step 2:
Once you have all the files with you do prepare the program files for the FLASH.
a. Install the USB driver as per your system.
b. Extract the bootloader to a folder. You will get the following two files
RM803_12w07_prod_generic_nokia_osbl.esco
RM803_11w48_prod_raw_nokia_osbl.binc. Extract the NSS to a folder
Now copy the two bootloader files to the following folder within NSS folder
loaders\special\wp7Extract the Custom ROM to a folder. You should get a .nb file. If not, try another ROM
IF you did the steps as stated, you are all ready.
Now before proceeding, make sure you have Enough battery back up on your phone and for the PC/Laptop (in case there is a powercut and you don't have enough backup, you won't have to but another paperweight.).
Step 3:
Flash your phone:
Did I Miss Something. No. You don't have to check for DLOAD. Not for Lumia 710. I already made it clear.
a. Connect your phone to PC. You don't have to do any button pressing or have to go to recovery mode.
b. Launch the NssPro.exe from the NSS folder in admin mode. Grant all the permissions the application asks for, if any.
When the allpication window is launched, make sure you know what is where. Use the snap for reference
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Make sure, you select the USB port from port selection and alllow the application to detect the phone.
Once the application detects the phone it will show "Nokia USB connectivity.
Change the application mode to FLASHING
On the right side select WP7 Tools. You will get the Bootloader tools..
c. Now refer the following screenshot and proceed.
i. In Advance Connectivity section select NORMAL Mode and then WP7 Qualcomm, if it does not detect automatically.
ii. In Bootloader tool select the OS file and locate your CUSTOM ROM to it.
Once you proceed further there is no going back. So be careful. Make sure that you have all the files in place as stated earlier and also you have installed all the drivers. Use CUSTOM ROMs for Lumia 710 only (Either your own or reliable developers). When Windows asks for format, ignore it. Do not respond to any pop up from any application other than the NSS. You should not leave the PC unattended for whatsoever reason. NEVER choose YES for FORMAT, simply close it.
iii. Hit the install. When asks for confirmation, select yes.
Wait for a while. Do Not Panic. Phone will go blank and will start in NAND DISK mode in a while. The connectivity mode will switch to NAND DISK DRIVE mode.. If Format option pop-ups, Select NO.
iv. Check the advance connectivity mode, and set as stated earlier to NORMAL and WP7 Qualcomm.
v. Hit the Write OS in the Bootloader tools. Wait for a while (usually 5 to 10 mins) Be patient. NSS will ask to restart the phone.
You cannot restart the phone. Take the battery out. Then again put it back and boot the phone.Close the NSS tool and any other pop-ups.
Your phone is now unlocked and loaded with a custom ROM
Step 4.
REACTIVATION of phone.
Your phone is ready to be used if you have used a correct ROM.
Sometimes, if you install a locked ROM or on on a Locked phone, your phone will be locked for LIVE ID usage. you'll have to ACTIVATE the phone to use LIVE login. You can still use other features though. Do not worry, as activation is as simple as chatting with a buddy. Just CLICK HERE and use chat and ask the customer care executive for activation code. They will need few of the details of the phone, and they will give the code. use this code to unlock LIVE usage.
Once again, I take no credit for the work. I'm just sharing the info in a clean manner. I use the method and works for me. Your Phone Your responsibility.

Lumia 710 RM-803 flashing Lumiatrix
Whenever i plug in my phone it comes up as a qualcomm device, and the first part of your instructions went perfectly
Check prerequisite files.
Hi,
If the first part went right, you should have no problem for the second part. First part is the critical part here.
(Even I Had faced the same problem many times. Downloading and replacing the files should do it.)
Here are the possibilities:
If the first part went right; the phone will go to service mode; the USB should disconnect and reconnect automatically. You'll get the FORMAT disk message and you should select NO or simply close it.
If you accidentally click on YES, your phone is a gonner
If everything is correct, NOKIA USB CONNECTIVITY should change to NAND DISK. And you can p[roceed with second part.
NOTE1. If first part is not pass, the second part cannot be initiated.
2. If first part is pass, the second part MUST be completed.
What if I just want to unlock the phone and not to install the custom rom...thus it will work i mean it'll unlock my phone using the qualcomm loader files only.
Hmmmm... Just the UNLOCK....

Well, That is completely upto you. But consider the following scenarios, b'cause I have no idea what your UNLOCK mode means.
Case 1: If phone software is not hacked, you cannot install YOUR own softwares without having to purchase from the MarketPlace. You'll have to install applications only through MarketPlace.
Case 2: If you think, installing the Qualcomm bootloader will unlock your phone, then you are mistaking; it will only enable your phone to install any firmware on it (simply saying it will be a dumb rock until you install a firmware).
Case 3: If your phone is carrier locked, and you want to use it on any other network: Simply insert the new SIM card and follow the LAST LINK IN THE ORIGINAL POST. But use it only after a fresh ROM installation or Phone Hard Reset.

Hi,
Have you downloaded and installed all the files as needed. (All the required files are hyperlinked within the description).
It works for me on Win7, both 32 and 64 bit.
Make sure you have installed the proper USB driver for your system (from Step 1 / sub step iii). This is mainly the reason for phone detection.
Check if it helps.

Phenominal post!
I've successfully unlocked my Lumia 710 and flashed Rataplan V6.0 to my phone! Everything's working great, except I need to figure out my APN settings to get MMS working again. :L
The only suggestion I'd make for your Layman's guide is to make sure to let everyone know that they will lose anything that isn't backed up! Pictures, SMS, some contacts that aren't on your SIM etc. It may be common knowledge to some, but I didn't know. It's no big deal for me though.
Anyways, thanks a bunch! Great post!

Hi at all,
I have a Lumia 710 with DLOAD bootloader version 7.33.0 and OS version 7.10.8862.144.
Can I install a Custom ROM (Rataplan V7.0) with this method?
Guys, I have a nokia Lumia 510 with a DLOAD bootloader. Any Ideas how I can get a custom Firmware on to it? And will the process of changing the bootloader as specified above work for my phone? Please work on a custom ROM for it!! :crying:
Is there any way to bypass Xiaomi's account system and wait time? It isn't only the pain in the ass, but I would trust an XDA developer a lot more than a Chinese corporation like Xiaomi with any possible privacy issues related to their bootloader unlock process.
I've seen a thread for the Mi 4c which seems to be similar to what I'm looking for.

No
Good luck. Just be patient and read all you can about Mi8 Lite while waiting. That is what I did. Made the time pass more quickly. NOTE: Do not change sim cards mid-way through. It will reset your 15 days. Almost got burned by doing that myself.

unofficial unlock
So here is instruction to get unofficial unlocked Mi8 Lite device ("platina").
Must say "bla-bla" about risk of damaging. My phone was "baseband unknown" problem, so no way to unlock officially.
You must have some skills.
All you need files except FW's are in attachment.
1. I have MI8Lite CN version 9.6.6.0. I dont know how about other versions.
2. Remove back cover and antenna cover to reach TP.
3. Extract attach, run miflash, select extracted directory, connect phone in 9008 mode and flash.
In \images only few files and corrected loader, so you dont need auth-account to flash.
4. At end of flashing (not during process!!!!) I got an error. It is normal.
5. Reconnect battery, press Vol-down, connect to PC. You must have fastboot mode and NO info on screen (it is normal, bcz your phone now "wayne" not "platina").
6. Run mi_unlock_en_sod, press left key in it then press right key. You must see green text in this program and your phone reboots. Still garbage on screen! But now unlocked!
7. Go to FW-directory of your phone (same as in your phone), edit flash_all.bat. Remove First and second line (checking phone model), save file.
8. Execute command "fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img". Result must be OK.
9. Run flash_all.bat.
10. That's all. Your phone must turns on, unlocked and "platina".
11. Corrected firehose loader from \images can be used to flash any MI8Lite FW without edl auth.
On Mi8 process much easy but expensive. You need to flash 9.5.11.0 version via edl auth, run mi_unlock_en_sod, press left, press right. I have been done huge amount.
On Redmi Note 7 process must be same as on Mi8Lite bcz it is one phone in two different cases.

So here is instruction to get unofficial unlocked Mi8 Lite device ("platina").
Must say "bla-bla" about risk of damaging. My phone was "baseband unknown" problem, so no way to unlock officially.
You must have some skills.
All you need files except FW's are in attachment.

I have a Redmi Note 7. I have "NV data is corrupted" on my device and locked bootloader. Need to unlock it in order to replace the QCN file and fix baseband, IMEI, modems, etc. Can you explain to me how did you unlock your bootloader? Pls

Hey guys, similar to all of @Some_Random_Username's unbrick threads, here are the EDL packages (also known as MSM tools or unbrick tools) that can revive a bricked OnePlus Nord N200 5G.
Important: This is only for the T-Mobile variant of the N200. This will not work on the factory unlocked variant and may or may not work for the Metro variant.

Instructions:
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
On the login prompt select "Others" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.
Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.
Press Start button so that it waits for your device to be connected
Power off your device
Press and hold the volume up and down buttons to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Plug your device to your computer.
Should you not manage to do that and have adb access, you can use adb reboot edl instead
Wait ~300 seconds.
Enjoy your brand new device.
FAQ:
Does this work on Mac or on Linux?
Unfortunately no, tool is Windows only. You should need at least Windows 7.
Why is my antivirus freaking out when unzipping the archive or running the tool?
In an effort to protect reverse engineering from being done (and by extension prevent conversion process like it was done on 6T and 7Pro), OnePlus now use VM Protect V3 in their MSM tools. As this tries to detect debug environment, this is seen as malicious behaviour by some antivirus.
How can I check my device project ID?
Use getprop ro.boot.project_name. This however involve having ADB access or access to OxygenOS to use Termux or whatever terminal emulator you prefer.
My device isn't detected
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
If you can't get into EDL mode by hardware keys, you may use adb reboot edl (will require your phone to still have ADB access)
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked above.
MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.
How can I fix "SMT config not found" error?

@Nache and others who have the unlocked version from the oneplus store and have the bootloader locked and phone bricked .. This version will not work with your phone as i just tried it myself today .. hopefully someone gets a hold of the msmdowmload from the tech support ..
patiently waiting for the unlock
So just to confirm: For those of us with Tmobile version, this will install default rom from OnePlus and get rid of all the bloatware from Tmobile and technically make our devices be like they are originally purchased from OP?
And of course, in order to use this our bootloader needs to be unlocked?
Will this lock bootloader again?
And do we unlock it with same code we got from OP first time?
Thanks!

My understanding is the T-Mobile MSM Tools will restore a T-Mobile variant phone to the state it was in coming from T-Mobile; meaning if you debloated the phone, the bloat will be back.
You can use the MSM Tools even with a locked bootloader.
If your bootloader is unlocked, I believe this will lock it. (it may SIM lock your phone again as well, unsure...)
I think the same unlock token will work, but I'm hesitant to say 'yes' without someone testing it first.

1. Nope, this will revert your device back to the T-Mobile stock ROM, including all the bloatware. Thsi does not convert your device into an unlocked variant.
2. This works whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked. If your bootloader is unlocked, using this tool will lock it again, and you will need to unlock it by flashing unlock_code.bin again.

Thank you!
I read an article that was bit unclear and pointed to this so I wanted to confirm.
Also, from everything else I gathered, there is still no way to flash Tmob variant with non Tmob rom?
I was interested to try LineageOS but that's not available also seems like.
Phone's too new still. I think we need the MSM Tools for all the variants available before someone can figure out how to flash one variant into another, and we currently only have the T-Mobile variant's MSM Tools.

incoming August 176 patch
I have update installed.
You can use restore image on Magisk uninstall before you start. If you encounter problem, you can use original boot image and run "mock patch"
Install update and switch to Magisk when you're prompted to restart, and let Magisk to install in unused partition, and restart after finished
If you have problem with CTS after update, install riru from Magisk and download safetynet fix, and install in Magisk as well (you have to reboot twice)
I've successful restored my N200 phone several times using the MSM, but this most recent time it appears the process was interrupted and I get the following error when turning on the phone. I can not boot the phone back into EDL mode to run MSM tool again. Every 10 or so boots the phone will boot into fastboot instead of throwing the error. I tried flashing a backed up boot.img and super.img, but no luck getting past the error. Any way to recover?
automatic ddr failed
Thank you! I could only get this to work by:
Unplug phone
Open MSMDownloadTool, don't click start
Hold down volume up and down
Plug phone into USB 2.0 port
Release volume up and down, verify device shows up as QDLOADER in Device Manager
Click "Enum" in MSMDownloadTool
Click on the device in the list and click "Start"
I got bootloader unlock code. I need SIM unlock "One Plus Nord N200 5G" by Metro. Help me!

I bricked my phone late last night and found this forum & thread; my problem was that each time my computer kept showing my phone as "Kedacom" until I scrolled through and found this post.
You guys saved my ass AND saved me a trip to T-Mobile too! I owe you guys big time!
I successfully flashed a metro-pcs device using the tool in this thread. I bricked my device using the dsu loader in developer options. "Oem unlocking" is greyed out. Can anyone point me to a good bootloader unlocking tutorial for this devicel? Is it possible to use this tool with a rom that has already been rooted? Thanks,
Noob here. One thing to note: device was not recognized in the beginning. I held vol up/down at the same time and then plugged in device. Although the screen was black, the device was shown as "connected" and had no issues flashing. After 300 secs, voila!

You can try this tutorial. It worked for me on Tmobile, no idea about MetroPCS. Key line is
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim
MSMDownloadTool wipes the entire device and relocks the bootloader if it was unlocked, it doesn't care if you're rooted.

Hi everyone, I accidentally locked my phone after I tried to remove the bootloader warning message that booted up everytime I turned on my phone. Now it says that my phone is corrupted in red and I can only boot to fastboot mode. My device is now locked and customer support told me that I needed to go to a OnePlus repair shop. The problem is that I don't live in the US. If anyone can help me I'll be appreciated.

Yeah unfortunately you're stuck here, without the MSM tool
You could try calling One Plus customer support, explain there are no OP repair shops locally, and request a remote session to fix it.
It's been a while since anyone tried, you might luck out and they could have the MSM tools for the unlocked variant now. (PLEASE share them if they do, they'll send you a link to download the MSM tools ahead of time for the remote session)
Barring that, they'll probably want you to mail the phone in to get it fixed.

I was actually looking into this for the OnePlus 10 Pro but it seems unlikely but who knows?
A remote session is how we got the T-Mobile MSM tools. It's just every time someone's tried with the Unlocked variant, they've been told the remote support team doesn't have access to the MSM tools for the Unlocked variant. As I said, it's been a while since the last attempt, so there's a chance they may have gotten it by now.

Hopefully it will work, the talk about the unlocked version of the MSM tool has kind of died down for around 2 months or so. (On this forum, at least)
Sorry if I missed something and am plucking at brain cells that have already been plucked, but has anyone tried EDL mode and emmcdl.exe with the available firehose? Its not as straight forward to do being as the n200 is UFS amd not EMMC, but it should still be do'able. Its how I managed to get my brick back to fastboot... For that matter, the UFS provisioning xml is available for QFil. You'd have to determine which storage make you have (samsung or toshiba).... Just a thought

Firehose should be right inside the (extracted) OPS and common to the variants, but I believe OPlus firehoses are encrypted and can't simply be used with QFIL.

Symptoms:
Pad has full black screen.
It can not start into fast boot mode
cant be found by Xiaomi flash tool.
When i connect it to my computer and hold Power + Volume up or down, the computer beeps after a while
What happened:
i downloaded EU fastboot rom and unpacked with 7zip
unlocked bootloader of Xiaomi Pad
connected to xiaomi flash tool
copied unpacked rom files on C:\EU
start flash_all
after having an error "crclist or sparsecrclist" (Link), i added REM into the flash file, as mentioned on youtube and started again
at the end of the flash process it showed a problem with the "REM" line, that i added and the flash failed
I cant flash again because i cant get into the fastboot mode... Do you have any clue what i can do now?
Thanks a lot!

I guessed you downloaded and flashed the wrong firmwares/ROM to your device. This caused serious brick (the hardest brick) to your device. All the wrong firmwares have been flashed to every single partitions of your device. That's why your device can neither boot up nor enter fastboot mode. I got my Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 and some other Qualcomm devices into this serious brick. I got my Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 this brick by relocking bootloader. The only method that can fix your device error is to use QPST QFIL.
Requirements:
1.Windows 10 x64 preferred or above with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) enabled. Because QFIL in QPST requires Sahara server (Linux) to run on your Windows.
2.Download and install HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver for your Windows version.
3.Download and install QPST to your PC.
4.Download and unzip the correct fastboot ROM for your device to your PC. There are files with .img inside the zipped file. For example, boot.img, recovery.img and many others.
I am not sure if Mi Pad 5 Pro requires Provision process to flash via QPST or not? Some Qualcomm devices, for example Chuwi Hi Pad Pro, require Provision before getting permission to flash via Download mode using QPST.
Watch this tutorial to see the how-to-use-QFIL video. This video is quite old. There may be some chages in QFIL. You can google the newer tutorial about QFIL.
While your device does not show nothing but the black screen, follow the steps below:
1.Assumingly you have completed all the requirements above, open QFIL.
2.Connect USB from your PC to your device.
3.Load XML by matching all the files of rawprogram#.xml with patch#.xml. For example, If there are 6 files of rawprogram0.xml to rawprogram5.xml. You have to add rawprogram0.xml matching patch0.xml until rawprogram5.xml matching with patch5.xml to the Download list.
4.Press Download button in QFIL.
5.Hold volume Down (Some Qualcomm devices are volume UP and some are both volume at the same time) and press power button many times until the download process of QFIL starting up. This means your device has entered Download Mode.
6.Wait until the download process completed. Hopefully there is no error or no Provision process required.
7.Disconnect the USB from your device.
8.Your device should boot up showing Mi logo. If not, hold power button to try booting up your device.
Hope you can fix this. Or your device will turn into one of the most expensive paper weight.
Before step 3, i have to choose one programmer out of these:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In step 3 I matched one by one rawprogram and patch file, but in the box it only shows the last pair. Do I have to click every time on download e.g. I choose rawporgram1.xml and patch1.xml and then press download or do I match all of them first like below, then there is only the last one visible.
In the end I get some failed to open com port handle messages. Do you know where this comes from?

Before step 3, i have to choose one programmer out of these:
View attachment 5770983
In step 3 I matched one by one rawprogram and patch file, but in the box it only shows the last pair. Do I have to click every time on download e.g. I choose rawporgram1.xml and patch1.xml and then press download or do I match all of them first like below, then there is only the last one visible.View attachment 5770981
In the end I get some failed to open com port handle messages. Do you know where this comes from?

1.Choose prog_ufs_firehose_sm8250_ddr_5.elf
2.Have you enabled WSL on your Windows 10 or above? Read requirement #1 of my post.

to 2: yes, i did.
About the rawprogram1 - rawprogram5: Do you know, if i need to download after matching each pair e.g. rawprogram1 = patch 1; click download; rawprogram2 = patch 2; click download etc.

Add all the rawprogram0.xml to rawprogram5.xml matching with patch0.xml to patch5.xml files to the Download list at once and press download button.
My experiment:
I have put my Mi Pad 5 Pro 5G into Download Mode (EDL) and run QFIL > Partition Manager. QFIL cannot access the partitions of my device. This probably means my device may require Provision to do this. So it may mean yours requires Provision to flash the firmware with QFIL also.
Now it's come to my most fear that you will need the Provision file which is not included in the fastboot firmware/ROM. You have to ask this file from Xiaomi Customer Services. And your device's warranty has been voided since you have unlocked bootloader.
Try 1 of the following methods.
1.Ask someone who has the same device as yours to ask Xiaomi Customer Services for Provision file. Tell them you need the file to back up partition of your device. The Customer Services may ask the serial number and other info about that person's device for verify the customer warranty.
2.Ask Xiaomi Customer Services for the Provision file for your deivce by yourself. Tell them that your device got brick and can be accessed only by Download Mode (EDL) via QPST or QFIL.
3.Google to find the Provision file for your device on the internet. It's very difficult. I still cannot find the Provision file for my old Redmi K30 5G released in Jan 2020, around 3 years ago.
4.Google the method to work around your Sahara error. And hope your device does not need Provision to flash the firmware via Download Mode (EDL).
5.No offense. If you have extra money, buy the new one and ask Xiaomi Customer Services for the Provision file. Or buy Lenovo devices. They are not required Provision to flash firmware via Download Mode (EDL).
If you have the Provision file, ask me again of how to do Provision. Or google the way to do Provision on the internet.
Wish you best luck.

Thanks a lot for your big effort to help me. Seems like i need this EDL mode. Currently, i am in Beijing in lockdown and its not the best time to go around and find a mi customer service. Meanwhile, i look for a solution for the sahara problem (see point 4).
@siamese007 hi,
I tried your method to unbrick a Mi pad 5, but unfortunately an authorization is needed...
I am trying to ask Xiaomi help. I don't have any answer for the moment...
If I try to ask them the Provision file, what I should do with ?
Could you explain me your method ? Do you think it’s a file they’re capable of giving away?
Thank you in advance,
Nicolas

Hello,
What happened with your device? Is your device Mi pad 5 nabu? Why can you not flash your device with Mi Flash Tool?
If you want to flash your device with QFIL in EDL mode, all Xiaomi devices require provision files to do it. Provision file is not supposed to be secret of company use only. Some devices have done provision for users at their factories. Otherwise users will be required to do provision by themselves. IMO provision files should be added to the firmware zip file for EDL mode.
For normal case, users can use Mi Flash tool to flash firmware. So Xiaomi might think provision files are not needed.

Thanks a lot for your answer,
I brick my tablet by corrupting UFS files after a fake manip by following a tutorial. It is indeed a tablet pad 5 with as code name "nabu".
Only EDL works, i can't boot fastboot or recovery (black screen). Mi Flash tool needs a Xiaomi authorization to flash with EDL mode. I don't know if Xiaomi can give me a temporary permission for that ?
I tried to flash the ROM with QFIL in EDL but i had an error "Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication.".
So I guess I have to get the file you were talking about to go further?

I tested with my device to access its partition tables but could not. And got error saying something about "authentication". So I guess yes you need to do provision before being able to flash the ROM in EDL mode with QFIL.
From my experience, the provision file is xml with some code to access the system on the chip that allows QFIL to flash firmware in EDL mode. Not sure if this provision for the SoC can be used widely across any devices with the same chipsets. You may look for the provision file from other devices with the same chipset as your device's. I will explain how to do provision later.
