Redmi 8a Bricked - Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers

I have a Redmi 8a(olivelite). Yesterday I tried official TWRP of Redmi 8(olive) in my Redmi 8a. I did not flash the TWRP, I just booted into TWRP using this command "fastboot boot twrp.img". It worked and booted into twrp. Touch was working. MTP was working. So then I tried to flash Redmi 8(olive) rom in Redmi 8a using TWRP. it did not flash. wiped DATA, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, SYSTEM. MTP stopped working and I could not copy files to Redmi 8a while in TWRP. So I then tried to reboot to bootloader but as soon as hit reboot bootloader in TWRP the phone went black and was not turning on. Phone was also not recognized by PC. I googled and found edl thing. I opened the back part of my phone and used pins to get to edl(also removed battery connector). Then I tried mi flash tool. phone was recognized as COM[NUMBER] device in flash tool. Did not work. shows cannot receive hello packet. Tried other methods found on the internet. like- changing port, usb 2.0, changing device(laptop, desktop), reboot after installing drivers. still could not receive hello packet. Then I tried Qfil and Miracle tool. Still no progress. Then I changed mi flash tool to MiFlash20181115.zip this one. It showed unauthorized to download.
Current Status of Phone-
Phone does not boot or power on, cant get to fastboot mode or recovery. Can boot to edl mode.
Device Model-
Redmi 8a(olivelite). 3gb indian variant.
Any help would be appreciated.

You just flash stock vbmeta
Then flash stock recovery
It's problem your hanset not booting fastboot then try edl cabels or search for edl point on Google

Can not flash vbmeta and stock recovery because device can not boot into fastboot. The phone is only recognized as COM after edl point spark.

In fastboot Identifies the device? If yes, then sew through the console
Sorry for my bad english. I am not literate and in Russian )))

I could not solve the problem by myself so I went to an authorized mi customer care. They solved the problem. Now the phone boots and works fine. They charged 500 BDT or around 6 USD(according to exchange rate of today).

SOLVED
I could not solve the problem by myself. So I went to an authorized mi customer care. They fixed the phone. Now it boots and bootloader stayed unlocked. They charged 500 BDT(around 6 USD by exchange rate of today).

Follow this tutorial, make a deep flash cable as shown. This will work on RN4 SD version only. I am the one who got bootloop on RN4 SD first time and i made the new cable and did everything well.

Even I had this problem. However I fixed this. Try these steps
1.Press power button and volume+ button till you see Phone and USB cable picture.
2.Install lastest version of Chinese Mi Pcsuite (Don't use English version as it has some issues detecting your phone).
3. Now connect your phone to pc via usb cable
4. A popup menu will appear in Chinese. Select the second option which is factory reset.
5. After that the phone reboots and everything will work fine. However you will lose user data.
Yes but mine is MTK version?

try test point method. if it doesn't work, i'm afraid that you have broken hardware. you have to replace it

okay .. too bad you should replace your device, or you can find a good mechanic to replace some broken parts. it usually works
did you drop it?
or it happened during installing rom or something?
How does it happened please tell us.
Charge it overnight
Hold the power button 20-30 seconds the next day
Boot the device in fast boot mode by holding volume down+power button. Then go to MiFlash and flash fastboot redmi note 4 rom in edl mode(Unlock bootloader by running the last script file and then proceed to do the following steps). Download stock fastboot rom for redmi note 4 from official mi website(Note: The stock fastboot rom is different from stock recovery rom). While flashing the rom, below you have the option to choose three modes, click clean all and lock. Flash this rom and you're device will be working in no time. Make sure your device has adequate battery

Screen stuck at MI logo screen

PLEASE HELP
My redmi note 5 (vince) was earlier on havoc os rom . Then i decided to install miui again through fastboot. I started installing using fastboot method but it said mismatching of image and device ....so i searched for this issue on xda
Someone already suggested to omit two lines that included“getvar” and try flashing again. I did the same. It flashed but didn't rebooted. Not even started. I took it to service center ....they opened it and when they came back with the phone....it was showing it's mi logo and was not going further..
So for now my phone is showing mi logo and is not going further ...please suggest something.

It isn't working brother, already tried
Is there any other method
If still it stuck on mi logo ( after flashing with the correct fastboot rom using xiaomi flasher) or you may also try another custom rom if doesn't work,then this may be a fault of screen ,you needs to contact service center again for this issue...
No issue of screen
Anyways thanks for giving time .?

Stuck on miui logo

Good day, I need an explanation please... I wanted to install Lineage os on my Xiaomi it didn't work, I have unlocked bootloader everything, I wiped the data and the whole system and tried to flash Lineage os again but it still didn't work. So I tried to flash the flood firmware and the phone is stuck on the miui logo and won't boot. I rebooted the phone into recovery mode and factory reset the phone and tried to install the phone again but the phone still stuck on the miui logo so I booted the phone into fastboot mode and typed fastboot erase system and fastboot erase cache and tried to flash the same firmware and it didn't help. I'm using a firmware that I've used before and when I got my phone into bootloop that firmware saved me but not now. So I tried to install a different version of firmware for my Xiaomi and still the same problem the phone is still stuck on the miui logo. Any explanation? Sorry for my bad English, I'm writing through a translator.
I now searched XDA. I found out that many people have the same problem as me. It's probably a hardware problem
