THIS GUIDE DOES NOT APPLY TO THE HARD BRICK, WHERE FASTBOOT DOES NOT WORK!!!
1) Download MI Flash: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ (i downloaded mine from here.)
2) Download phone's original firmware. https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ (search the phone and select rom depending on your country.)
Remember to download the fastboot firmware.
3) Extract firmware to a folder, like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I used 7-zip.
4) Open MI Flash and let it install all the drivers needed.
5) Reboot your phone into fastboot mode (hold power key + vol down key) and plug it into your computer.
6) In MI Flash select the folder when you extracted the firmware.
7) Click refresh and make sure the program detects your phone.
8) Down the window, select clean all (otherwise it will lock the bootloader)
9) Click Flash.
Done.
NOTE: if the program displays an error "error: no command fastboot lock /s" don't worry about it. The system will work anyways.
NOTE: recovery gets replaced by the stock one
NOTE: you can just use the flash_all.bat file to flash it, but i recomend using the program. The .bat file also did not work for me.

Is the bootloader unlocked?
NOSS8 said:
Is the bootloader unlocked?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No. the Boot Loader is Locked.
There's no explanation about that in the 1st Post nor in other previous posts (that if the Boot Loader is locked then anybody doing this guide as it is being told, will surely find those error like me (Critical partition flashing not allowed),
so no wonder I get that error.
But then,... (before I tried this guide), it was because, after I did Factory Reset and Wipe Data) my phone was stucked on "MiUI 11 Logo' (on white background -where I can change Language and font size, but no further from that), (that's why then I tried this guide),,.. so (my point is) there's no way I can Unlock the Boot Loader first.
So, then, I try a step I watched on YouTube.
I put off the phone's back case, disconnected the battery, and so on and so on just like the video told, (EDL Flashing).
Success. (at least that was what the MiFlash Tools app told me on my PC screen)...
Put on everything back, try to turn on my phone.. but now it is doing boot loop... (and worse,.. now the boot loop is on MiUI logo with black background, even before where it was at the 1st time)
Can somebody help me?
If you can enter fastboot mode, use fastboot oem device-info to check the status.

I edit it to make it better and clearer (for anybody who'd like to help me, like you.. Thanks again in advance).
----------
*I cannot enter Fastboot now, because it seems there's other problem, that is, I ruin the plastic power & volumes buttons (maybe when I took off the back case) somehow, they don't work now.
*I didn't and haven't try that Xiaomi Official UnlockTool, because like I said in my previous post, I didn't know that to do the guide in the 1st post in this thread, my phone has to be in UBL condition first. And I was in condition where I couldn't enter my phone (to login to Xiaomi ID on my phone, for example).

Hy everyone, I am in this situation since last Friday. Read and tried many guides and tutorials without luck. Here is my situation:
- I have the MEG7 version, I'm in south america. I don't know which version of MIUI I had before the brick (maybe a global fake one?), the phone was working excellent. Friday appears an OTA update of 225 mb, download and executed. After that the phone stucks in a bootloop, just the MI logo, powered by android appears a second and restart.
- Read guides and forums, then I did the test point according to knowhows.net/fix-xiaomi-redmi-5-plus-fake-rom-boot-loop on a 64 bit win10 laptop. The pc recognized the COM qualcomm port, I used the latest miflash 7.4.25.
flashed success stable cn rom but accidentally chose the "flash all and lock" option -> bootloop remains
flashed success dev cn rom -> bootloop remains
flashed success stable global rom -> bootloop remains
flashed success dev global rom -> bootloop remains :crying:
Tried other tools I read in miui forums, like XiaoMiTool, downloaded both china roms (global were not available, maybe due the mi site update?), the bootloop remains.
Keep reading, tried with the beta version of miflash, the proccess was endless, not luck.
Tried with and old miflash version 2016.08.30, the proccess end successfully but bootloop remains.
At this point didn't know what to do, tried to flash with miflash but with the device in fastboot mode, a "flash modem error" appears just 3 second after the start. Perhaps this error can give some clues of the real problem? :crying:
Now I'm starting to get frustrated. Could be the pc? I just have my laptop. If nothing works will borrow a win 7 32 bit pc. I used two usb cables to try luck, no luck. But, which is the correct rom to flash? the global or the china stable? I read can't flash dev roms with locked bootloader.
I tried almost everything, will preciate your kind help.

I guess that the successive flashings after relock bootloader were not really sucessfull.
When you using method point what you did after that? tried with miflash tool or miphone flash tool? so miflash tool don´t work in edl (download) mode, it is for fastboot mode.
Try enter to recovery with pwr + vol up and when appears logo mibunny release pwr button and do a format data and see what happens
MEG7 with locked bootloader needs global rom, not China one, stable or dev doesn't matter.
unlock your bootloader. altough your phone is bootloped. my situations is 100% same as yours. i spent lot of roms also. untill i try unlock (bootlooped phone) but succes. try it bro i hope succes. after succes you can flash into EDL mode and the phone booting normally.

I did test point with Miflash tool, all the guides I read uses that tool, is it possible with another?
the miphonemanager I have installed I think is from MiPc suite. Just installed, didn't use it.
I enter to recovery mode and wipe data too. Unfortunately it's the same.
Thanks for your suggestion.

How I unlock the bootloader can you help me? I tried in a simple naive way with adb command fastboot oem unlock, but some with the token I don't have appears. How did you do? I think all my problems are because the locked bootloader.

Yes. I read one guide about that After to understand it, I flashed two global stable roms
- vince_global_images_V9.5.11.0.NEGMIFA_20180521.0000.00_7.1_global
- vince_global_images_V9.2.6.0.NEGMIEK_20180122.0000.00_7.1_global
I did the proccess succesfully, at least the miflash shows that.
But after the reboot, the device stops in "powered by android" and reboot again

First of all try to unlock bootloader, follow this tutorial and download Xiaomi Unlock tool from here: https://www.xiaomigeek.com/download-mi-flash-unlock-tool.html I´m not sure if this works if you didn´t linked before a miaccount onto your device and didn´t enable USB debugging and OEM unlock before.
MiFlash tool from here https://www.xiaomigeek.com/download-xiaomi-mi-flash-tool.html works in fastboot mode.
MiPhone flash tool from here http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.com/2015/11/download-miphone-tools-for-flashing.html works in edl/download mode.
If you can´t unlock bootloader then you can try with MiPhone flash tool, to get in edl mode you have to first of all download and install the drivers for this method from here https://www.androidgyd.com/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-driver.html and open device manager from pc so your device has to be detected like qualcomm HS-USB qdloader 9008 and there are three methods as far I know to enter in download mode although one or more couldn´t eventually work:
- Pressing the three buttons at same time to connect to pc you have to get a short vibration then release inmediately.
- Second method trying to avoid to open backcover of device, search or made by your own a "cable edl" it´s not so difficult to do it (just youtube)
- Test point method is the last resort.
MiPhone flash tool works both unlocked or locked devices.

Wow, you gave me new ideas to try, really really thanks. Didn't know about miphone flash tool. I'll use tonight.
- When I did the test point the pc recognized the device in the COM ports, as a qualcomm hs-usb 9008, as I know, when this happens the phone is in EDL mode right?
- I have tried to unlock BL with the official tool too, but couldn't because of the device was not binded to my account. Anyway I have found this thread http://en.miui.com/thread-246705-1-1.html with some info I didn't know, about kedacom driver and disconecting internet, don't know if will work but I will give a try.
If I have luck I will let you know

After a few hours I tried the suggestions.
1.- Downloaded the MIFLASH UNLOCK tool from the mi web, tried to unlocl the BL, not success "account is not bound to device"
2.- Downloaded MIPHONE TOOL, I saw is similar to Miflash, but the last Miphone of the link is from 2014, nevertheless I tried with the device in EDL (with test point and the COM port), gave me this error:
"insufficient storage space to process this command :crying:
I observed that MiFlash works in EDL too, I mean, doing the test point recognize the device in the COM port too.
Also, I tried to flash a Global Rom with MiFlash but this time in fastboot, the device is recognized with many numbers. But I get this error:
At this point I really don't know what to do.
I guess I need to find a way to unlock the bootloader without bound account to the device.
Could this be useful? Before the brick, I added my Mi account in the device and I still can see it in Mi Cloud web:
Maybe I can contact xiaomi customer support and ask them to give me the permission to unlock the device.
I won't give up!

Here three things that you should try; other version of MiPhone tool, flash directly twrp, begin and wait the unlock process......
1- As far I know MiFlash tool doesn´t work in edl mode, just recognices device. Here you have a version from 2016 of MiPhone tool https://xiaomiflashtool.com/download/xiaomi-flash-tool-20160401 you have to set the path to your firmware folder next to "browser" box upper left there is an option to configure the files (prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn, patch0.xml, rawprogram0.xml) that are needed to flash the rom.
2 - Also, you can move all the rest of files and put only recovery (custom twrp) and after flash some custom rom from twrp, there are some threads explaining this process.
3 - To unlock bootloader you have to begin a process, put your sim onto other device and request to Xiaomi with this number and you should have to wait for the process, read carefully the thread specially the first steps https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/how-to/how-to-how-to-unlock-redmi-5-plus-t3750250
btw guys what should i use dev version to get weekly update OTA?

Yes, the dev rom receive weekly updates.
Time of flashing
Does anyone know how much is the average time to flash with miflash or miphone? In my notebook, win10 64 bit, dual core takes 700 - 900 seconds. I see in other images that finishes in 100 - 200 sec.
I have same problem like you in my MEG7

Hello, I have a redmi note 3 SE (Kate) and its stock.
A few days ago the device randomly restarted and its bootlooping, instead of the recovery mode the device its showing me a picture of the phone and a usb cable. I can only access fastboot mode, what (and how) can I do something about it?
Thank you in advance

If u cant boot into miui. Then u need to factory reset in recovery.
Hold power + vol up
and release as soon when mi logo vibrates.u will be in recovery mode.

Use edl mode method.
Mi pc suite already has usb drivers. No need to install drivers twice.
Remove other drivers and check.
Or
Put device in fastboot mode. Vol down +power
Connect to pc
Use this fastboot command in cmd.

Hello and thank you for your help.
I actually installed the drivers AFTER MI PC suite failed to detect my device, at that time windows displayed it as just "android device".
Fastboot CMD show me this, it's correctly working?
I don't have time to try the EDL method today, I'll give it a try tomorrow. Will it work on a unlocked(I meant Locked) device?

I actually always check google, only problem its that everyone says tons of different things :silly:
So, I started over, redownloaded the ROM (checksum perfect), downloaded the last portable version of MIflash, reinstalled the drivers, rebooted both laptop and phone, started MIflash as administrator...
AND FINALLY!
The device was succesfully unbricked! Many thanks!:good::fingers-crossed:
So, now I have android 6 and MIUI 10 (previously I had MIUI 8), should I upgrade to a better ROM?
Hello to everybody.
Dear friends I post this to guide (only unlocked bootloader rooted phones) you through the steps that I used to succesfully recover my Xiaomi M9T
from a hard brick (by that time only edl mode was available).
Since Xiaomi has decided to lock down their Mi flash tool, and only special authorized accounts have an access to their utility tool.
was almost impossible (by yourself) to recover your phone from a hard brick situation.
I found a way arround to xiaomi tool with a 100% succesfull 1st atempt with my own phone it worked flawlessly.
Forget the point to point jumbers with a required open phone procedure.
Forget the authorized account holders with a teamviewer use of your computer and a fee for their services (logical).
Forget returning back your phone to any authorized repair center for a revival for what ever cost.
Below you will find al the steps one by one.
First thing you need is to install: minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790.
Run it and put "Y" and hit enter all the way through.
Second you need to install: TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE_2.0.1.1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3358711

Press tab advance options.
under the advance options window press first the tab Set ADB and fastboot privileges system wide.
It will asc you for confirmation press the tab again with the same Set ADB and fastboot privileges system wide.
Then press the tab Open a free terminal with ADB and fastboot privileges.
and type in the terminal the cmd fastboot oem edl,
It will say ADB boot oem edl OK. (unforunatelly I have no screen print from this one).
You will know at once because your phone goes from fastboot (bunny) screen to black screen and enters edl mode, is normal do not be alarmed.
In your computer you will see now under setting> devices> Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. That is a good thing you are now in edl mode.
From there go back to already running all in one tool.
Press the tab Flash Factory images, you will go to the respective screen (below).
Select Flash all, and press the download factory image china.
Immediately will redirect you by a pop up window to the chinese site of the MIUI.
Scroll down and you will come across the Redmi K20 rom, downloaded and save it to your desktop.
Once is done decompress twice from tgz. file, to tar. file, to ready to flash rom file.
Now come back to all in one tool, and select the rom from the browsing tab, go to the desktop folder where you have previously download the roam and select the ready to flash (unzipep file) once is loaded hit flash Rom and seat back.
The ADB terminal will start the flashing procedure you will know from the very beggining if everything is normal,
Because the terminal shows the file is being prossesed and the time for each action with a followed OK
During the procedure it will break up between two or three stages of the flashing, momentarily again do not be alarmed.
If everything goes well the operation will finish with a gorgeous redmi bootup logo.
(once again I apologize no screen shot taken in advance for this step)
It will finally bootup to system, allthough it might not, But one more time do not be worried, officially you have succeded reviving your hard bricked phone.
From there if is not completing bootup simply press volume up+power botton and you have the official recovery, (in chinese of course) but you can easily
find an image with the english tab designation, hit wipe data, and reboot again, voila there you are back in bussiness.
All the gredits go to the developers of the above used tools, since I just was lucky enough to find the way through.
Good luck to all Mi9T/K20 xiaomi owners with your phone revival process.
Best regards to all of you.
P.S.
Forgive my English for any syntax or grammar errors.
I wish I had more time to spend for a more comprehensive guide.
Works for k20 pro aswell?

Hi there I have not tried since I have only Mi 9T.
But yes, I am sure pretty much is the same think, instead of downloading the K20 rom, simply download the K20 pro one,
I wish you a good revival.
wow, this is too good to be true ? hope it will works for ppl who have brick. thanks
Awesome news, THX
Thank you for providing us an alternative way of reviving hard bricked devices. I hope this also fix similar problems but with a locked bootloader.
btw can i just unlock bootloader easily from this tool?
@Fantomduck Wait wait, i missread in your post "(only for unlocked bootloader)" So this is tutorial for those who have already unlocked bootloader to unbrick device or what? im confused now... bcs if we have unlocked bootloader there is no point to do this steps u described then, we can simply flash any stock rom on unlocked bl and unbrick drvice.
Yeah from what I understand, it basically flash the rom via EDL mode, but for unlocked bootloader. But why bother with EDL when the bootloader already unlocked? Also, I thought we can only flash ROM via EDL with authenticated tokens?
If this app can flash rom via EDL without special authentication, it should works for both unlocked and locked bootloader, though it might be different for Mi 9T Pro.
Very interesting nevertheless.
Hello again,
Just a clarification regarding, "I tried one more ultimate time, and boom success".
I ment tried one more time, by using alternative ways such the one that I post .
Not the Mi flash tool.
Well I guess thanks for taking the time to write this guide, however it's not applicable to hard bricked phones, and all the AIO tool does is use fastboot commands, that's the reason it requires fastboot access with unlocked bootloader.
Hard brick means :
- No fastboot at all. No way to boot to it on the phone. Plain black screen and nothing else.
- Stuck in fastboot with bootloader LOCKED and wrong ROM installed ("system has been destroyed"/"this MIUI can't be installed on your device")
Unfortunately for hard brick cases your only option will still require an authorized EDL account (and short the test pins for the 1st case) and only by using Mi Flash Tool.
Hi, yes I flased my phone via EDL Mode since I had no other option, (hard brick) the system was erased by a terrible mistake and the phone was only opening to fastboot mode, no matter what. And if you have hard bricked device you can not flash it in fast boot mode simply because your computer can not see the phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If your phone can boot to fastboot and the bootloader is unlocked then it's not hard bricked and can be recovered simply with fastboot commands. If you couldn't see the phone on the computer it was probably because of missing drivers or possibly fastboot/adb not running with admin rights, which I guess the AIO tool seems to fix with the "set ADB and fastboot privileges in system wide" option...
Yeah I thought so, as that app is basically a GUI version of fastboot and adb command. But I appreciate the effort to help people in here to recover their phones.

Dear ShiningScias.
Hello, well I guess then, I was on the shoft bricked side?
Thank you for making that clear to me, I then have to apologize, to everybody that I have mislead, with an assumption that was not the correct one.
I misunderstood what the hard brick is, I think probably i had jumped to that conclusion because when I was searching for rooting my phone I came across with so many tutorials and advices not to make any mistake while shifting between roms with ARB or else the outcome will be a hard brick.
Best regards.

Dear yumm91,
Hi, yes I flased my phone via EDL Mode since I had no other option, (hard brick) the system was erased by a terrible mistake and the phone was only opening to fastboot mode, no matter what. And if you have hard bricked device you can not flash it in fast boot mode simply because your computer can not see the phone.
Thus not adb debuging authorization to comunication with the device for reflashing. So only EDL Mode that qualcom put in place for such an awkward situation
At that time the only tools and knoledge I had regarding my newly purchased phone Mi9T was:
A) Flashing through Mi flash tool (which is locked for everyone to use without special account) I found it out afterward.
B) the all in one tool, that I found when I was looking for help in xda forums, which is for unlocked phones, as it states in the main window.
Said that before, I started looking for how to flash it in edl mode.
Nobody new then (a week ago) how to revive, bring back to "life" their phones( Mi9/K20 and Pro variants).
The general idea that was floating around regarding hard bricked devices.
Was the option of having a person with authorized account for flashing, to enter to your computer, and flash it for you,
( after opening the back cover and disconnect the battery, while make jumper between the the special points on the PCB).
To return the phone back to have it repaired, Xiaomi's suggestion.
I tried many times the mi flash tool, even when I was logging in, my xiaomi account said "this computer is bound to your account you can start now", but with no luck.
So Before I take my phone and bring it to a service center, for flashing for 55 euro.
I tried one more ultimate time, and boom success.
From what I know locked phones, can not be hard bricked since the system will not let you roll back, or flash not original xiaomi rom.
I posted the way arround to the Mi flash tool, that I came accross by trying to flash a bricked device , for everybody to overcome the authorization problem.
I am not a developer nor an expert regarding android programming, I just have little experience from previous devices that I messed arround by trial and error.

You haved probably problem with fastboot drivers for your phone. Bcs this tool u used to boot EDL mode is also using fastboot first to boot in EDL so how u boot EDL if u told before that your phone can't be recognised by fastboot on your pc ?
I guarantee u can easily unbrick device with unlocked bootloader using only miflash or using fastboot command on adb. So there is no point to do all steps in description.
Wait. If i will unlock bootloader, and for some reason it will fail and brick, it will be bricked on locked bootloader or unlocked?
Is this method works with a GLOBAL image flash to a chinesse K20?

Hello everyone, this is my first post here, I'm planning on buying a phone with high specs, good camera and the possibility to access root so my attention went to Xiaomi 12T Pro.
I've seen a two-weeks old post on reddit where some guy with this same phone asked for help and ultimately managed to root it using magisk, however the 12T pro has a snapdragon chipset and from my last experience (about 6 years ago) snapdragon devices can't be rooted? Maybe that guy had the normal 12 pro and got confused with the name?
Anyway I have a laptop so if there's a possibility/potential in the future to root this phone I might as well buy it.
If you want I can also link the reddit post so you can give it a look.
Thanks everyone.
Edit: thanks for the answers, when I buy this phone an root it I can let you know how it went.

Just confirming: in the TWRP page, the 12T Pro is not listed as a compatible device (https://twrp.me/Devices/Xiaomi/).
Will the provided version of the TWRP work? I would like to avoid boot loops or even a hard brick.
And, would Orange Fox work too? Could you point us the correct version?
TIA.
Just did as instructed and it works. Only bummer is that twrp is in Chinese. I did google a youtube video and followed instructions to change language. So far all good.
Do OTA updates still work after rooting? Or what is the process to upgrading once rooted?

You mean "fastboot devices", as it is already in fastboot
booting to recovery ended in error for me " FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))" which led to bootloop.
I reflashed original ROM and I will try flashing.
flashing the recovery went as sharp as possible.
I do not recommend to boot into recovery before flashing it.

I didn't tried to boot without installing, I think there is a problem with A/B slots. On devices without B slot booting in TWRP should work as intended.

Provided version works on my device (Mi 12T Pro, Global ROM). Hardbrick is impossible if flashing TWRP in recovery partition.
I didn't found compatible Orangefox recovery
There are 3 versions of TWRP:
BOOT:
Command:
fastboot boot twrp.img
powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP
REC:
Update with existing TWRP.
gold
CMD
fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img***
powershell
./fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img***
BOOT REC:
Both methods
On this thread the proposed version is REC.
***Remove lock screen security and reboot to decrypt data then install TWRP.
Reboot with the buttons combination and not with a fastboot command
Update REC
twrp-3.7.0_12-v6.5_A12-diting-skkk.img

Then reboot TWRP
No need TWRP for Rooting
Root:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app (V23?)
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.

Maybe you have already tried this (your links don't work):
magisk/settings/hide Magisk, renaming it..
Zygisk enable/enforce exclusion list enable.
Configure exclusion list / display system apps / check those related to your problem.
Reboot.

Explaining how it happened ; I tried to unlock the bootloader of my redmi note 11s 5g using another cellphone, I thought it wouldnt be such a bad idea, but my phone at the boot started to have the following error; dm verity corruption. I did not use my pc because at the time it was being fixed. I tried to use xiaomi unlock tool to unlock the bootloader to flash another rom to unbrick my device, but I was having a lot of errors with my mi account; it had to be connected at my device, but how tf I connect a mi account to a device with no system? My phone is mediatek, and I tried to unlock using mtkclient, but did not work, I can send to you guys logs with all the process I tried.
