Hard bricked, help please :') - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

Stupid excuse, but I was under the influence and decided to flash PE on my phone and messed the A/B slot choice, so got stuck in fastboot and it didn't boot into recovery anymore no matter how much I erased and flashed it to any of both slots. More stupid decisions kept coming, and I erased EVERYTHING, system, vendor, modem, etc... pushed recovery via fastboot again but now it won't even go to fastboot, screen shows nothing, and Windows detects the device as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Did some research and apparently phone is in Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode. Found this https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-19721.html and apparently it's possible to extract mmcblk0.img file from a similar device. Does anybody know if this will work ? Also MiFlash keeps showing " cannot receive hello packet " and then times out in like 19 seconds and device is unresponsive to everything and anything... Help please :')

Maybe you will need do the EDL mode with an authorized account, and reflash system.

Saw that around quite often but have no idea how to get said " authorized account " and from my understanding phone is in Qualcomm Emergency DL mode...

Visit a service center or use some online service. EDL stands for Emergeny DownLoad mode..

You are going to have to look for any user who has such an account. I know of some that have them, but I don't know if they are trustworthy (it remains in you).

Write to them, hopefully they can solve your problem.
If you solve it, let me know with whom and how you did it...
I have an A3 with SoftBrick and I also need to solve it.

Apparently it's quite hard to get an authorized account to be able to flash in EDL mode indeed, trying to authorize mine, guess all that I can do is wait or go to s-unlock.com, reports of it working all around, really appreciate the help guys...

Appreciate the tip but I hate that EDL is locked and kinda want to go headstrong against it and get this done without paying a dime, phone is my property after I bought it, I don't see why any part of it should be locked and inaccessible to me as its owner ... just hate the way this has been handled by Xiaomi, feels greedy and wrong to me... Really appreciate the heads-up though, maybe it'll code to that eventually

Well, we are lucky that we can unlock the bootloader without any hassle, unlike many other Android phones out there. Xiaomi "locked" EDL mode probably because of some sellers, who bought cheaper phones (be it MIUI or Android One), swapped the ROM and re-sold them at higher price. Ordinary folks do not need to use EDL, if service center needs to use it, it will be free of charge. If someone's willing to unlock the bootloader and mess up with the phone, he should face the consequences if something goes wrong. It's not manufacturer's fault. Personally I'm glad that Xiaomi did not take the route of Nokia or Huawei, where you can't unlock the bootloader at all (at least not without a paid service).

- download and register MI FLASH PRO https://miflashpro.com/
- download Fastboot ROM https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/laurel/
- download (Mi A3) prog_firehose_ddr_unbrick.elf https://www.leakite.com/xiaomi-programmer-firehose-files/
- check device manager - ports: qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 (com3) - device is in EDL mode
- replace ROM/images/prog_firehose_ddr.elf with downloaded prog_firehose_ddr_unbrick.elf - fix for "Your Account is Unauthorized for this operation"
- open Mi Flash Pro/Mi Flash
- select path to ROM (can not have any space)
- select clean all
- select flash
if you are getting "cannot receive hello packet" or "cannot read from port com" it's probably EDL timeout or driver issue.
- unplug usb from phone, push power button for 40 sec, plug usb back to phone, refresh and flash
just pushing power button and waiting for disconnect/reconnect wasn't working..
just unplug/plug usb wasn't working..

Hope someone can help me.
My Redmi Note 5 is stucked n Mi-Recovery 3.0 screen with 3 options: Reboot - Wipe data - Connect with MiAssistant. and continue to go in loop until the battery will be zero.
I was try everything to get connected, and flash again the firmware but no result, first and I think main problem is that my PC cannot see the phone, then with all SW I'm sure I can try to re-install everything and recover back my phone. Data is not a problem since I have all backup in MI account and Google account. I hope some one expert can help me to solve this unpleasant situation.
Is already out of warranty and send to MI service cost 36 EURO just for checking and then more than 90 EURO for repairing, is not worthing the cost.
P.S. I downloaded and try with ADB; Flash; MI Tool, USB debug etc..
I'm desperate mother of two kids and I need this phone, now I'm using a very old one.
Thank you
You try mi flash tool, but the phone can not recognized? Fastboot mode working? When yes, maybe Windows install the wrong driver. Look in the device manager and install it when it the wrong one manual
Hi Joke, thank you for your interest in my problem.

I have an update, now I can flash the Rom using Xiaomi MI tool V2. Then after finish message say that installation was successfully, but when I restart the phone is going back again on same position with Mi-Recovery 3.0. I noted that if I use MI Phone Assistant in certain conditions I can see the phone as "HD" in my PC. There is anything I can do to revive my phone?

Whenever I Tried To Install stock Rom using mi flash tool It Is Saying "Cannot Recieve Hello Packet" & write time out,maybe device was disconnected Please Help ME To Fix
The device is off?
Try to hold volume down and up at the same time and connect the usb cable to see if going to EDL mode.
If going to EDL mode you can flash a stock rom from edl with miflash.

Is not completly true... When the edl error "... Hello packet" appear is impossible. I also recived it when i tryed to make mia3-cce9 conversion. I retry many times but no success. Qualcomm port works, miflash connection works... But it's impossible to flash. I have searched every where on internet without succes. For me only fastboot flashing mode work. Not edl... I think this hello package is a software restriction of xiaomi. But i don't understand why some devices can bypass it and other fails
A question: you can enter in fastboot? I'm not sure you have try. Is the more simply solution. It's improbably that evolutionx had erase the bootloader... Connect phone to pc, then press power+vol- if you will see the xiaomy avatar.. you can recover the system. An advice for you: before flash a custom rom read with attention the guide. I suppose you haven't do this. And your modding level is low...

What you wrote is not good... I don't know unloock tool. But before use this applications is necessary read carefully the instructions. It seems you didn't have do this. Good luck. Ps: if your phone boot into fastboot reflash stock via miflash... If you don't have made a big damage it will work. Very import is select the correct slot before flash... In my case i always select slot a to make a clean and safe installation

Sorry if you have damage bootloader (so fastboot don't work), the only way is edl. But i don't know how to solve edl flash fail. You had ask to other user, or search with Google. Or i'm afraid for you... Buy new phone. For the future if you want modding... Do it carefully

Sorry no. You have the bootloader unlocked... If your restore via edl will fail, in my opinion the best choice is buy a new phone. I don't know in your country. considerating that motheborard is not damaged... But phone must be open... The minum cost of this repair i think could be 100 € (convert in your currency). On YouTube there are a lot of tutorial how to do by yourself... But i'm not shure you have all skills...

Repairing cost around 10dollars . In India repairing cost is low but the price of mobile phones and spare parts are too high due to tax.

Pocophone F1 Hard Bricked or Dead?

I was using my phone like normal when it froze on me. I shut down my phone as I usually do when it freezes using the Power off + Vol Down. After turning the phone off, it refused to turn back on again, the light indicator for charging also does not work anymore when plugging in the charger. I did a bit of research and found out that it is possibly bricked. The way they suggested to fix this issue is to flash the phone with the stock rom. So here are the things I've tried:
1. Using SP Flash Tool (not really sure how this one is supposed to work, it is asking me for a "Scatter Loading File" which to my knowledge, isn't part of the ROM file I downloaded from xiaomi.)
2. Booting into EDL mode by shorting the pins and Using the official Mi Flash Tool (This one barely worked for me, it got into the process of flashing but asked me for an authorized Mi Account, after a few hours of research I found out that you can't get one.)
3. Changing the original firehose file with the modified version to bypass the authentication (Still asked me to authenticate)
4. Other Flash Tools (Qualtek, MiracleBox, Qualcomm Flash tool, etc. All failed)
Not really sure what to do at this point, I am unable to launch into fastboot or recovery, phone is completely unresponsive. The only thing that is giving me hope is that the phone is detected in the device manager of my pc as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). Is the phone dead or is it just bricked, all answers will be highly appreciated, Thanks in Advance

Well it is kind of the only possible way because Xiaomi locked down the EDL mode and render a phone truly as useful as a brick, when bricked, unless you sign in with a authorized mi account. Also 99 percent of time the people online claiming that they can fix the device, it is a scam.
However Xiaomi store will probably not fix the phone (it is 3 years old) for the OP (original poster) and try to convince him to move on to new Xiaomi phones because, Xiaomi will earn more...

1000000 percent this will work because by replacing the motherboard, your corrupt data and chips (fried EMMC flash storage) (and snapped snapdragon) will be replaced.
Exactly same thing happened with my Poco F1 on 20th Aug. It comes up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) when connecting to my laptop.
What would be the cost for getting motherboard replaced? I want to be able to use my phone with minimal effect to its state before the issue happened. Want to avoid any resets.

How To Guide How to unbrick the realme GT 2 Pro

So, there's a lot of people sending me PM, most asking how to unbrick the GT2Pro. To make things easy I'll try to explain the basics here...
The good news is that the GT2Pro is pretty much unbrickble, unless you mod the hardware you can always bring the phone back to normal thanks to the EDL mode. The EDL mode connect direct to the chipset, even if the battery runs out completely.
The bad news is that you'll probably have to spend some money.
There's two ways to flash the phone via EDL mode, with QFIL or MSM Download Tool.
The QFIL is free, but it is very buggy, you can try it, but it probably won't work. I don't remember very much how to use QFIL, but I do remember that you'll need to extract the files of .ofp, select the right ones in the QFIL, change some settings and try to flash... And you'll probably get some error... Mine most of the time was "Firehose error" and "Sahara error"... I tried diferent versions of QFIL, diferent configs, tons of tweaking.. Didn't work.
The MSM Download Tool is flawless, but you have to login to access the software and only developers, official repair or resellers have access, luckly there are a lot of people who sell the login. Well, you'll need to get the login at leat untill the realme release a patched version of MSM for GT2Pro.
To login into MSM there's two ways, the login itself or using a Loader, most of the time you'll get the code to use the Loader, you can use the code only once.
So...
-Get the Realme Login Tool 2.0, MSM Download Tool 2.0.67 and the .ofp of your phone region and put all in the same folder..
-Turn off your antivirus or allow the MSM to transpassing it..
-Run the Login Tool as a admin, put the OTP code..
-In the MSM select the .otp file..
-Connect the phone to the PC and turn on the EDL mode..
-To enter the EDL mode Hold Volume Up + Down at same time, if the phone battery is completely dried out connect the phone to PC, hold the Power button for a long time and wait about 4 or 5 minutes to get a minimum charge to enter EDL mode..
-Then just click Start, if you get some error select the option in the top right corner "Standard something" or "Default something" I think... I don't remember..
Don't forget that for the PC to recognize the phone in EDL mode you'll need the right Windows driver, the Windows recognize as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" most of the time. You find the driver easily on the internet.
I have all the files needed, but it's not here right now with me.. When I get it I'll upload here.
If the Admin allows (so you guys ask him) I'll put here the number of the cheapest guy to get the OTP code, I got the code for $2 and he accepts PayPal. There's people who do all the job via TeamViewer too, but generally it's more expensive and you can't get access to MSM. If you are messing up with the GT2Pro, flashing, tweaking, changing configs, etc, just get access to MSM and don't close the app, then if you brick the phone just flash again... And again... And again...
You guys can also pressure realme to release a patched version of MSM Download Tool for GT2Pro...
Good luck
Cheers
----------------
So these are the files... I think that's all... If I remember others I'll upload them...
Maybe it's a silly question, but have you tried loading prog_firehose_ddr.elf in QFIL?

Yeah.. The .elf and .mbn ... It didn't work.
Though trading is not permitted on XDA, but OP wants to help Realme GT 2 Pro users, as many users are even paying upto 10 USD for fixing their device due to absence of official download tool . So He should be permitted to share contact info of cheap code provider.
I had to pay $25 a couple weeks ago to get mine fixed, it would be much better if we can have a cheaper or free alternative.

Yeah... The best shot is to pressure realme to release a patched version of MSM like they have for other phones or pressure them to update their Flash Tool for GT2Pro.
When using the MSM tool to flash will it recognize the nv-id of my phone and automatically pull and merge the correct super images from the firmware ofp or does that need to be done manually before flashing?
Ok idk what I am doing wrong here. Everytime I try to flash with MSM Tool I get an error that says "Failed to get NV Code:"
Could this be because the realme server is offline?
What will happen if I select the "Use Default NV" box?
When I click it a popup comes up and says "Default NV (MEA) will be used if this tool cannot get NV from server. Continue?"
How did you get access to MSM tool?
By using the realme login tool and an OTP
edit: Yeah alright I don't get it. I flashed the phone with the MSM tool back to A.17 and the bootloader is still unlocked and still will not boot and I am not getting the A18 update either. Is this just impossible to fix?
can you please elaborate regarding "By using the realme login tool and an OTP"

The OP posted the realme login tool that can be used to gain access to the MSM tool. Download your firmware and extract the zip file and move the realme login tool into the folder containing the MSM and ofp files then open the tool and type the OTP/one-time password (there are plenty of people who sell them but XDA only allows sharing free and open source solutions). This will open the MSM tool and allow you to flash.
I was in total shock, I didn't find a solution, even the support didn't help me, they ignored my emails.......
Until I found a guy who helped me on Telegram @Fixteambd for a nominal sum of only $10 I'll confirm he deserves the money!!
managed to get out of the RMX3300 brick in less than 20 minutes
My 3300 bricked flashing global rom, it does not respond to any buttons or USB. Nothing happens at all. Any ideas on how to revive it?
Hello, so you say you can use MSM Download Tool even with a dead battery but even when you open the program it says to ensure you have enough battery. Now, I have paid a guy to try and fix my soft bricked GT 2 pro with this program but cmd is not letting him do anything due to the battery levels and MSM keeps getting an error and I'm assuming it's also because of battery levels.. is there hope for me? Would anyone be able to help please?? I'm getting desperate at this point

I believe you gonna have to open the device and unplug the battery for it to work, not 100% sure if it's the only way to do it but if you left if changing for an hour or 2 and still can't flash with MSM I'm guessing the only way is to open the device and unplug the battery, were you able to put it in EDL mode without opening it?
I left it charging overnight the problem is that it doesn't recognise it as being plugged so it's actually not charging at all. I was thinking of opening it up and "manually" charging the battery and I've seen a charging board on eBay to charge batteries connecting the flex directly to it but 1) I wasn't sure if that would make it work and 2) I wanted to make sure there were no other options before opening the phone up. I've seen you can potentially charge if you're able to boot twrp and using that recovery but I can't find anywhere how to do that with a GT 2 pro so I don't even know if that's an option... Thank you for your reply by the way

dude, it's hard brick, you have to short test Point to access EDL Mode, after that MSM Flash
Yep, that's what I had to do in the end, but the good news is that it worked and I have a working phone again, the bad news is that I damaged the power flex cable opening it up so next project is to replace it, although I'm still using it every day and I don't seem to miss the button. I can lock it with double tap and take screen shots with the three fingers gesture. Wish me luck with the replacement when it finally arrives from AliExpress!
Somebody let me know where I can get cheap OTP code for Realme Login Tool 2.0 (RLT2) for flash Realme GT2 Pro RMX3300, RMX3301.

Bricked my mi 10 5g after ota update.

Not sure how to proceed here. I had a very recent twrp installed, flashed a new ota firmware update as I have successfully a couple of times, phone restarted to twrp, I decrypted, it flashed the firmware fine then went to restart.
And that's it, completely dead, battery was at least 50% charged.
I can't enter recovery, power button held for one minute does nothing, vol+ and power, nothing, vol- and power, nothing, vol+ and vol- nothing.
Plugging in my charger, nothing, plugging into a laptop and pc, nothing. Took the back off and disconnected the battery and left it over night, nothing.
Bootloader was unlocked and usb debugging enabled.
Anyone have any other ideas what I can try here?
Also tried bridging the contacts for edl mode with battery disconnected and plugged it into USB but nothing.
Very tricky to do this though as you need 4 hands and it's possible I'm not making contact on both pins, purchased a cheap edl/deep flash cable as a last resort, if that doesn't work then I think it is toast.

I may have found a couple of resources but I'm unsure of the procedure, is there any chance you could provide me with some information, I'm stumped on how to proceed.

From what I gathered you need to find a special “firehose” or like file that allows yout o flash it in edl. You seem to have gotten very very lucky because from a simple Google search, I found firehose files. They may or may not work.
https://support.hiunlock.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=1133 I found this, but I think it may cost money (I don’t want to make a acc, but from browsing the website, it seems it costs 20 dollars, which is a barbain for a device). You are lucky it exists at all though. I do not vouch for the file or site though. You should o research on how trusted it is.

Thank you, I will have a good read and look at other sources.
I'd love to know how the hell this happened, had the device for years now and flashing with zero issues.

Yeah, must have amde a small mistake, or ahd a corrupt file
“EDL is an interface of Qualcomm chipsets, used to flash fastboot ROMs. It is used for unbricking purposes so it is allowed on many phones but it's been locked down on most recent Android models.
The screen will appear black and it will appear that the device is turned off, but to verify that this is not the case, we need the tools in EDL mode. The most famous is QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader), a proprietary software, but on GitHub there are many alternative open source projects.”
