Hi everyone,
everything is in the title, yesterday I bricked my Mix when I tried to install a new version via recovery (Mi Pc suite chinese version).
It updated, started working (I entered the rom) then restarted because it asked for a reset, had to say yes, when it restarted I was in a bootloop of Xiaomi logo and couldn't go into recovery mode anymore.
Only fastboot works, but still can't install rom via because I didn't unlocked the bootloader yet and didn't check for usb debugging.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Regards

So you still be able to flash official with miflash?
When I try to flash via Mi flash it says critical partition error thing (probably because I still don't have unlock the bootloader)

Shouldn't need unlock to install genuine ROM from xiaomi with miflash, you are using the fastboot ROM right?
Likewise USB debugging shouldn't be necessary, as far as I know. Like if you have no ROM it wouldn't know anything about USB debugging.
Yes I'm using fastboot rom
On this page: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html You can see Mi Mix is listed as it needs to unlock before any flash with fastboot.
When I try flash with MiFlash, it says Flash xbl error : https://i.imgur.com/ct0xAQY.png

You have unpacked the file correctly?
Think they mean if you're not using miflash.

Don't know if it would work on mix
Yes I did, with all the bat files the images folder.
I'll try one more time when I get home.
Or wait some days to get the unlock permissions by xiaomi

Might be safer to just wait. If you do it now you will have to do it again in a day.
I tried to unlock again with no success, it says error because I didn't enable the "OEM Unlock" option..
Any suggestions?

Have you tried reinstalling the recovery,
From command prompt or from the same command prompt , reboot recovery. Any of these useful?

Hay soo i wanted to relock bootloader after failing to install custom recovery (both) i turned off oem unlocking in developer options and did fastboot oem lock. Now the phone is looping in "your device can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader" and it reboots and says the same again.
When i try to unlock the bootloader with fastboot oem unlock i get "FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed)
I really dont know what to do and i need a phone for comunication. Please help!
You should only lock the bootloader after installing the stock ROM, otherwise your device will be bricked and the only way you'll get it back working is by flashing the EDL test points near the phone's battery and reflashing the stock ROM back in EDL mode.
Try downloading this tool then try to unlock oem, flashing and flashing critical.

Noted. Thanks!
I really messed up here. The problem is i toggled allow oem unlocking off and to top it all off i did oem lock. Now its bootlooped (check the video). Does xiaomi fix this by warrenty? I really dont want to open the device up because i am afraid i will do more demage and void the warrenty and the device wont ever be fixed.

I have seen another guy who did this. How is this possible that you turn off the unlock bootloader option when you've already unlocked it? The option gets greyed out and becomes non-functional.
Anyways I guess the best option is to give your phone to Xiaomi for the fix.

It wasn't grayed out for me. I'm thinking of test pointing the device because i dont really want to wait few months until i get my phone back from service. (There is no xiaomi service in my Country)
But i'm afraid if i open the device i will void my warrenty for future.

I don't think you will since you don't need to disassemble the device, all you need to do is remove the aluminum back cover carefully with damaging it and you'll find the test points right besides the battery

Why not use oem unlock?
Hello I have a Mi A2 with ONE.
I tried to install Mi6X following this guide:
Guide
I got to step 9:
9- Click Refresh on Mi Flash Then choose Clean all and click flash
Then I got this error:
Error oem edl miflash tool, ACK count don't match
Then I tryed instead to install Jasmine again, and I started getting this error:
Cannot receive hello packet,MiFlash is trying to reset status
And then I was stupid enough to unplug my phone
THE ACTUAL PROBLEM (rigth now)
1. My phone will start, then stay at Mi(mi.com) logo indefinitely.
2. I can't enter download mode, Vol + and power will bring me the Mi logo again and again.
3. Can enter Fastboot mode... BUT...
-Mi flash don't detect it
-miflash_unlock don't detect it
-edl.cmd, unlock auto, and unlock critical say "< waiting for device >"
Edit: I solved the problem using test point to enter EDL mode, then It connected and I could flash it.
our phones (mia2) are weird devices to be honest, mine was recently bricked after choosing the "reboot to bootloader" option in twrp. id recommend you to go to mi service center if your phone is still in warranty

I unlocked my redmi 4 (Santoni) boot loader and flashed pixel experience ROM (https://mega.nz/#F!INZgnAZI!9fuWhfCuazOO5YPBjxGlmA). It was working fine for a few days (Small heating issue was there). Then one day while i was charging the phone the phone turned off and never turn back on. When i try to switch on the mi logo flashes for a split second and then turns off. I tried to get into recovery but couldn't.
I can get into fastboot mode. I tried flashing the phone using Mi flash tool and fastboot rom. But it shows an error "flash tz error". When i tried an old version of mi flash tool i get the "Unspecified error (0x80004005: FAILED (remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed))

I had the same exact problem, i put my phone on charge & when i came back to check it was switched off. It wouldn't turn on except the mi logo. I tried to flash through fastboot turns out my bootloader was re-locked for some reason. I had to re-unlock it then proceed on to fash fastboot miui rom. Check if your bootloader is locked or not.

This is a good idea! Probably u first try to install trwp in fastboot mode. If this doesn't work try to unlock bootloader again and then install trwp.
When all these Option doesn't work u still can open the phone and use edl fastboot mode to flash miui again.

Tried unlocking boot loader and was not successful because the phone was bricked. My only option was to use edl test point. Now i installed miui 11. (Aprart from some minor bugs which can be eliminated by reflashing some other roms) Thank you guys. Now my phone is successfully unbricked.
For somebody who is having the same issues,
My phone (Redmi 4_Santoni) was completely bricked. The only thing i can access was fastboot by pressing the volume down + Power button combination. But i could not install twrp or any other recovery because my boot loader was locked. I got it fixed completely with the help of you guys (Thanks again) and i want to share the procedure i went through.
Condition: Completely bricked with only fastboot access, Locked bootloader.
I tried this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j27x5iJSS40) but failed because i could not access recovery. So my only solution was to use edl test point flashing. I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74818435&postcount=3. It was very easy to do. But in the device manager (Press Windows key + R and then type devmgmt.msc and press enter) instead of showing "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008", the device is shown as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E". The problem was you have to plug in in USB cable while the test points is being connected with a pair of tweezers or a paperclip as shown in the link above.
Make sure you already downloaded the latest mi flash tool from here https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ and download fast boot rom from the official website. (Go to https://en.miui.com/ Click rom downloads. Click flashing guide. Download the fastboot rom from there for your device.) Now flash your device using mi flash tool and voila. your phone is unbricked.
Thank you guys..

I faced the same issue after a wrong flash and had to do a test point, enter EDL and reflash using miflash.

Maybe if you have good luck, you could enter EDL mode with a deep flash cable

what did you do with the phone before it ended "system has been destroyed"? what software did you install last time? what gave you the error "erase is not allowed in lock state", mi flash? please be more specific... have you tried flashing via miflash exactly the same rom you had last time?
and most importantly, is your phone in fastboot or qloader mode? (check windows device manager)

The phone suddenly turned off in the middle of a call and came back on with the message I wrote. I didn't try to install a ROM before now I'm trying to solve the problem and figure out if it's a software or hardware problem

What do you mean box?
when you google "mi 11 box" what does it find? that's what i meant...
Are you ashamed of where you're from? when you don't answer...
find out for yourself what kind of software you had and try to flash it through whatever you see fit... I don't have time or mood for these stupid questions when you can't cooperate... this is communication like with a 12-year-old child...
good luck...
