Hi
I'm pretty new on rooting devices, i did some times by the past on samsung s3 or iphone 3gs , after getting our water from the well.
But now i'm stuck. I install TWRP with minimal ADB, it goes pretty well, and then i decided to flash and install Lineage 17.1 . I did it by the book, put the img file on the phone, reboot on TWRP, selected my file and voilà, it flashed it nice, but when i reboot it boot straight to TWRP . There's no ways i can get past it.
Tried to reflash, reinstall Lineage but it 's still stucked.
What can i do to fix that ? i saved my personal datas but nothing else
Thnxs
Ok don't bother
I bricked my phone .
I tried to reinstall sotck rom , i downloaded a Global version , flashed it with MiFlash and it said " this MIUI can't be installed on this device " afterwards on the stock recovery screen
Can't Unlock the bootloader , can't do anything just because of a godammn "clean and lock all" box ticked by default. F*** It . IT was supposed to be a global version of the phone, why couldn't i reinstall a global stock ROM FFS ?
I am not using MIUI. Installed HavocOs. When I was using MIUI 4gb ram was always 50% occupied. But that never was problem. Old apps were open in background. In such a phone 4gb ram is sufficient. So I would say ram management may not be good as it always occupied 50% ram even if no apps were running. But never felt that running apps were stopped. can easily keep 4-5 apps(lite apps).

If you have checked clean and lock then your phones' bootloader is probably locked. Would you mind telling current status of you phone in details? Like:
1. does the phone show "Redmi by Xiaomi" logo while boots;
2. Is there unlocked written while it boots;
3. does the phone boot properly to stock rom (or whatever rom is);
4. does it have stock recovery.
5. What version of rom you flashed?
thank you.
Hi and thxs for the reply
so in proper order
1) Yes
2)No no more Unlocked at bootscreen (because of that ******* ticked box
3) No, it can't get past recovery. I was stucked at TWRP when i install Lineage (never had the chance to taste it) , now it's stuck at stock recovery
4) All I get is the 3 choices screen ( Reboot / Wipe Data / Connect with PC MIUI (the software management))
5) After lineage , i tried to flash Global ROM but after cheecking with the IMEI , it appears that i have a chinese version . IF Only i had taken the time to double check that , i bought the phone from a legit site (Not Gearbest and stuff). I think it was based on android 9.0
I 've dl Chinese ROM , Recovery and Fastboot , Now the phone has the back open , tried the pin contact, , it's recognized as Qualcom Port 9008 , so Miflash detectsit but evertime i try to flash either i can't get the hello packet, or Miaccount says i have not the authorization

Hi
I can't unlock it because when i install the global stock rom it relocked the bootloader and now i can't access MIUI
First of all stay calm. Your phone is still not hard bricked. As you have said that your stock recovery is working. In stock recovery it shows that "This MIUI version cant be installed".
Firstly, try to unlock bootloader again with mi unlock with same account you have used. This time it would not take the waiting period.
before plugging the phone boot into fastboot then plug to pc.
Do the same as you have unlocked before.
I hope it works.

Nope I tried virtually everything from 9pm to 6am and 9am to 2pm. NO way to unlock through MiFLash or many exotic tools in cmd prompt .
I just send it to repair center this afternoon , my 2 cents it should'nt take long to unbrick as there are still recovery and fastboot as you mentionned and repair centers have way more firepower than we do average fellas ... At least I hope they have
I keep you tuned
As i promised, here are the news
Reparation center with notoriously skilled technicians has not managed to fix the stuff to this day. Bootloader locked, tried with my Mi account , they were trying the EDL mode as i was calling them for news.
The sad part is, I had already tried this so I wished them better luck. It's been a few days so should they have succeeded, they 'd have told me by now. In fact they are not experienced enough with those Xiaomi protection so they're investigating. For the futures unfortunate owner's

EDL mode to use an authorized account is needed ... so you could not make it work, nor its experienced technicians
And I bet that only Xiaomi has this authorization , Xiaomi who has no official repair center in EU nor never replies to anyone.....
3000 years later......
I promised to keep you tuned.
I finally unbricked it today, thanks to @miauthofficial , as the tech around home didn't have necessary tools (or skills .... i think tools ) . It cost me 35 bucks but they got it working, with a chinese rom though (because i have a chinese phone :/ ) , with teamviewer and a bunch of top specialist tools
I can tell out of experience that's there are NO ways to unbrick it on your own
So i don't have multilanguage (only english , chinese , thai , japanese and arab ), no Google apps ..... That's why it sounds weird that i had everything set up out of the box . It wasn't a Global ROM, maybe a custom chinese rom?
Now i will carefully dig out how to get it to global versions , typing text on chinese rom is a pain in the ass
Believe it or not, i just had it charged, barely had the time to remove the charge cable, the phone sets on fire then exploded almost into my hands . I have some difficulties catching my breathe bcause of the smoke.
Does Redmi 8 have Test Point ? if it have, i believe we can use it to "unbrick" the phone, like what i do to my Redmi 4X.

Assuming you are talking about EDL.
As far as I know you need authorized mi account to do something through EDL for newer devices.
Can someone use TWRP or Orange fox backup for me to have the EFS folder of Redmi 8? Thank you..
I have a Mi 9 Global that I had previously unlocked. I decided for some reason that I wanted to use Google Pay/NFC, so I downloaded and flashed the latest global ROM. I chose the "clean all and lock" option, because I wanted to lock my bootloader. The ROM flashed and said it was successful, but it doesn't boot and has the "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device.". Now I can't boot my phone and the bootloader is locked. I can get into recovery or fastboot, but that's it.
I've tried every option and software I could find, but nothing works. XiaoMiTool V2 doesn't recognize the device. When I manually select it (I choose cepheus Mi 9) and try to unbrick it, it checks the chinese stable and chinese developer options and then gives an error that it cannot find any rom that can recover my device.
I've searched every forum and Youtube video I could find over many days and short of opening it up and shorting the pins, I'm out of options. Even that won't work without an authorized Xiaomi account.
Can anyone help? I've read that others have had luck with having someone remote into their PC and help.

AFAIK, you will need to seek for somebody with EDL account (paid help)
Although you wanted to relock, you should flash first without relocking and later, only when you make sure it boots, then you use the tool once again to relock

That's why I created this post. I'm looking for someone who has an authorized account or knows of a reputable site that I can pay to unlock my bootloader.
I have a Redmi K20 Pro 8GB RAM 256GBROM
It came with a 12.0 Global MIUI
I ran the bootloader unlocker from Xiaomi, it worked the first time
Then I flashed it with: miui_RAPHAELGlobal_V12.5.2.0.RFKMIXM_edbf5f63e8_11.0.zip
It locked the bootloader.
I now only get the menu: MIUI Recovery 5.0
I can no longer run the bootloader unlock, it fails on the second step and says "Please add your account in MiUI's Settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status. The phone won't boot even using safe mode.
I don't remember if I ever signed in to the phone with my Mi account, I suspect not.
I'd like to confirm that I used the right ROM, does the K20 Pro and the 9T Pro use the same ROM?
So how can I unlock the bootloader?
What do I need to flash on this to go to 12.5. I don't use What's App so I don't care about those issues.
Is 12.5 and option? If not where can I get the latest ROM I can use?
Supposidely you used Mi Flash. You have two options there, like Clean All and Lock (unfortunately, offered by default) and just Clean All
Apparently you overlooked and left Clean All and Lock and as a result you locked your Bootloader
That's a common mistake and the way many people brick their phones. If anything goes wrong while flashing (wrong firmware, error in download, problems with cable, whatever), the result will be:
- phone cannot boot because of that error in flashing
- you cannot flash again since you already re-locked your Bootloader
Fortunately, I have no first-hand experience but I've seen many similar posts/questions and answers
AFAIK, you have two options now.
One, to look for somebody with EDL authorized account to remotely flash and unbrick your phone.
It will be a paid service and due to the XDA policies all posts providing such contacts are purged from XDA. You have to look to eg Telegram support groups to find them
The other option is in finding and using the so-called firehose file and method.
Tthat way you could unbrick the phone by yourself but you really need to google and/or search on XDA to find more details about
Sorry, that's all I could help you
Hi there member of xda developers
First of all sorry for my bad English
I myself here are still a newbie for anything about modifying phone internal system, have some knowledge but not that expert *mostly referring to guides*
I'm done rooting redmi 9C,
Need help on removing some apk
*Specifically miaccount related apk*
But keep getting error in twrp log while try to remove the apk using twrp recovery
Known issue is because "\system" is read-only

Tried some guide possible solution but non success
Any help appreciated
Model : Redmi 9C MT6765
MIUI 12
rom : V12.0.14.0.QCRIDXM indonesia
Bootloader : unlocked ( mtk client tool method )
Root status : rooted ( following adb flashing guide )
Recovery mode : TWRP
Back story
This is family phone ( redmi 9c ), I used to fix some other old model phones with success, guess this is some hard security to bypass for new gen phone, unfortunately this phone was used by old aunt who doesnt know anything tech related, she forgot her email, and no access to her old phone number (also not remembering it), just needed this phone to operate without mi account protection so she can use it on daily basis. She asked me to format as the phone feel slow, I didnt ask much just do the factory hard reset and on next reboot after connecting wifi, mi account locked is there and I was kinda suprised at first. Try getting some information out of my aunt but old people tend to forget.
I know some might think it was stolen, I myself will not deal if it was a stolen phone. Family member need my help, so I try my best to fulfill.
Thanks in advance
