Xiaomi bricked my MI A3.
And even though it was their faulty firmware i flashed (Botched batch files cooked into the firmware they they themselves released) and flased with their own Mi flash utility, Xiaomi support say " nothing we can do, youre in the US - beat it.
But they CAN do something about it: All they have to do is authorize my account to EDL flash my one device but they wont. This is a VERY BAD and EXTREMELY SHADY business practice because nothing travels faster then bad news and i'm going to tell everyone in all the many forums i'm part of and social media (twitter, facebook, XDA etc.) to stay far far away from Xiaomi devices at all cost because they want you to brick your device thinking you're stupid enough to buy another one. They'll get blowback from this **** they're pulling. it' a guarantee!

It's your fault as it is theirs, just get over it, pay 10-20USD for a service which will restore your phone in 10 minutes and enjoy the phone.
Just paid $28 to have it unbricked
Probably a good idea to use whats app on PC as he'll give you a few links for chrome extensions, and Meganz file to download (VPN, Ultra view and certain version of Mi flash). I already had the stock ROM. I didn't know any better and was on my iPhone and had to type in long web addresses from iPhone to PC, but he downloaded an app I missed remotely.
I will stay on stock from now on as actually any custom ROM I've ever downloaded has had some sort of bugs. not worth it when android 10 is coming next month. And Xiaomi stills sucks

Can you provide the link and the exact rom that you used? I fell back to stock rom 2 times after trying unofficial roms and I didnt face any problems. Sometimes the bootloop can be resolved by just changing the active slot.
Same here with me with my redmi note 5 pro, i came to mi a3 after bricking it.
He phone would still work pretty great it only I had a authorized mi acccount to edl flash it
hello Op, if you are kind enough, can you share the contact who help you to restore your device.. i have the same problem and i don't have an authorized account to perform a edl flash.
thanks in advance for your comments.

The story starts with when I tried to root the phone with KingoRoot, eventually ads started popping up, facebook, dating or porn sites and malware like that. I uninstalled KingoRoot and installed some anti spam software like avg and avast, but that did not help, ads kept coming. The phone has Android 5.1 Lollipop on it and after I left it connected to a Windows Laptop, like I said before, error messages with 'UI has stopped working' and 'other stuff stopped working' started popping up in a whole sequence of error messages so it rendered the phone unusable.
Next I started messing with it via platform-tools and wanted to flash TWRP on it and eventually a different OS like Lineage, but now the phone is totally shot and I can not use recovery any longer. The only thing that seems to work is fastboot mode, but it doesn't let me install a custom recovery like TWRP. Unlocking the bootloader seems to work, like shown in the attached pix, but other commands like 'fastboot devices' give a funny looking device name: '0123456789abcdef'. Other commands like fastboot erase -w and oem info show failure only; reboot-bootloader works and so on.
Any advice on this one? I'm just trying to learn about phones and android and this seems like a perfect opportunity, unless this cloned smartphone is piece of a worthless brick, which most assuredly is.
Try to flash corect stock firmwares for your device , check which one is yours .

Hard Bricked Hoot P20 pro Clone
Yo, Teddy Lo, I had been busy last few days and tried to follow your suggestion, but to no avail. The device is now a hard brick, it does not come on at all, no more fastboot mode, or battery status logo when off and loading for that matter. It all happened when I tried to flash this file 'DOOGEE-Shoot_2-Android7.0--20170517' with SP Flash Tool. The device downloaded the files, but is completely dead now.
I am trying to do format and download with different ROMs for whatever is available on the internet for a P20 Pro clone phone, and phone manages to establish connection through USB with SP Flash Tool, but every time I get the following error message:
How can I fix this problem? Thanks.

Now i'm on my pc, i can see your signature. looks like your version of the phone has a lot options in stock recovery than the one i'm seeing. I have the tmobile variant (also know as Tmobile Revvl 5g) in US, the recovery is stripped down more. Hopefully Tmobile would push out the update.
Anyway you could provide the files for this ota or pull it somehow?

Thank you for posting I just downloaded to look around the zip file. Has anyone here figured out how to correctly extract the OTA Firmware boot.img from boot.img.p file and try to patch with Magisk? 7z opens the boot.img.p as an archive. When running the file in magisk it does not recognize it.
Loosin hope on this phone so far no root .. the potential this phone could be doin if it was ... Just a shame smh tcl

Good question, it might be possible.
Issues I've had with 11:
- YT Music sometimes thinks its offline, only started when I installed 11 and its definitely not offline.
Another bodge I've had to do is disable absolute volume due to a BT speaker but thats the speakers fault (lowest gain is too high).
OTA released, Jan 2021 to May 2021 PL.
Received the OTA for Android 11 this morning (T-Mobile Revvl 5G variant)
Also received this OTA on both of my Revvl 5G devices. Getting the gut feeling it might shave an hour of SOT off, but didn't have enough time with 10 to properly compare (the OTA auto-installed). Didn't note any major differences/issues with the update otherwise.
To update. Compared against the 6B6XUMX1 that the device shipped with, the Android 11 OTA drained 10% overnight and reduced SOT a measured 2h. This is with a fresh wipe and minimal app reinstall. I'd avoid for now.
Hello guys, I successfully unlocked bootloader.

booting video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u3eiiieVVk-NvYVHZnkYZLlXuCitfvX0/view?usp=sharing (two watches,my and my friend's)
I'll test the usability of Magisk and EdXposed in a few days. (and maybe TWRP)
Today I just come to share the joy, but unfortunately I will not open the unlock method until this person leaves the admin and apologizes to me.
In the afternoon, I produce a video of the results and share this joy in a Mi Watch group of Telegram that I joined from XDA, but one of the admin named Aytac (Telegram ID: 1007077001) stigmatized me for cheating and muted me forever, which infuriated me.
Since he says he has the ability to do it, let him tell the community how to unlock BootLoader.
I said you'll pay for it. Now it's time for me to keep my promise.
More images
**Not development ver! This is my Mi Watch Permium!**
Unfortunately, I broke the hardware when I was dismantling it, and now it's on its way back for repair.
I have written the tree for twrp of the device, and I will test it after the device returns.
Did you have to open the watch to unlock it? or was this possible via software method?

Sure, Xiaomi has reserved a software method, but it needs their internal signature, which is impossible to get.

Ha ha, I don't need your useless apologies for being late anymore. Anyway, the loss is yours. I will only share the resources that can be used after unlocking. By the way, tell him, take his dev device and play it himself. Good luck.
It's his choice to mute me few days ago, even ban me today. It's my choice to refuse to release the unlocking method.
Sorry I can't understand.
What exactly is the link between XDA and this Aytac?
If you have discovered something and want to share it with the community (which would be grateful for it) this is probably the right place but if your goal is just some sort of revenge this post becomes useless and its title is definitely misleading.

The rom you used is not a full package rom.
We should never relock.
If you find it on the Internet, you should consult a person who can restore it remotely.
If it's impossible, go to the nearest Real Me service center...
I think you need recovery. img
For your information, I requested recovery tool to Realme China online center.
Here's the result

I saw in the internet about entering into EDL mode for all qualcomm devices. I am not sure if this option can be done on realme gt, and even if it does, there is uncertainty if this method can unbrick the device. I try to keep looking other options. If not, then I may need to send the device to the customer service.
Some people say that the customer service may have to replace the motherboard in order to get the device work again, which I think the cost to replace the motherboard wont be cheap.
You were rightly told that under such circumstances you cannot block the bootloader.
No motherboard replacement is required, this is a regular brick that can be restored in 10 minutes via EDL. It's just that the gentlemen from Realme are greedy and do not share any tools with us, such as Oneplus.
You can contact the service center, or ask to flash it remotely, you are given a login / password in the special software MSM download tool or QFIL, or similar software. There is also a person on the Internet who can do it for money.
Keep us updated

China rom. If u brick ur phone, need to flash with china rom. I only flash global rom by myself. Since i dont have access of msm download tool, so i pay to someone who has.
I just search if there is someone provides remote flashing services in the internet. Then i found a telegram group that provides the services. They will remote access ur pc via teamviewer and do the flashing for u. If u already have access of msm download tool, u can do it by urself.
Can you give u the telegram account so can help others ?

im uploading my custom N986U A12 Rom if anybody else wants it. I made sure to odin all the files on my phone beforehand and it went smoothly, but i cannot promise anything lol.This will wipe your phone though, as i didnt want any unnecessary problems. Once your about to finish setup, the sim manager should pop up. Just turn your sim off, and on again to restore data. IDK why it requires that, but its only once. If you dont get the manager, it should be in data settings. Took around 8 hours before performance improved but now its just as fast as A11. Flash in the corresponding slots in patched odin.Based on N986USQS2EULE
Kernel source : https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=A12
If you have any requests, just shoot and il look into it.

UPDATE: Made a updated N986U1 Rom for those who prefer U1 over U. Runs smoother in my opinion too.

@troy896 Whats the process to install this one?
Sorry I been years away the dev scenes.
Well,
I have tried every single Odin available hahahhaa and doesnt flash. (FAILED)
Am I missing something?
Well I'm having an audio issue now. Phone runs great, all smooth animations and everything... until i playback ANYTHING with audio. It'll play for 3 seconds and then stutter/stop for 3 seconds. Voicemails, Spotify, YouTube... you name it.
Did a factory reset and still the same thing. Any ideas?
EDIT: So after some tinkering with permissions i was able to resolve the issue. I believe it had something to do with bixby and full time mic access. Smooth sailing now!
