Question Help with hard bricked K40 Pro. How to flash recovery in EDL? - Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro / Redmi K40 Pro+

Hi, I've recently hardbricked my redmi k40 pro when trying to flash some custom roms and custom recoveries. I managed to get it into EDL mode hoping to flash a working recovery from there. However when I try to use the miflash tool it gets stuck on "ping target via firehose", or goes to "write time out, maybe device was disconnected" and I cannot get anything to work. I realized that even if i get past that part that I still require an authorized xiaomi account to flash in EDL mode. So I thought i'd try it using QFiL, however that requires the programmer file for the phone, and from my understanding that's a proprietary file that only xiaomi has and you can only get from leaks and such.
I was wondering if anyone knew where to get the programmer file or if you knew how I could get an EDL authorized xiaomi account so i could use the miflash tool to fix my phone.
Also does anyone know how to fix the "write timeout, maybe device was disconnected"? I have tried different usb ports and different usb cables and I can' get anything to work.
Also is any snapdragon 888 programmer file usable? Or do I have to have one specific to my phone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am very new to EDL mode.

I am facing the same issue with the bricked device. Mi Flash won't let me install anything using EDL mode without authorization. Anyone can help?
