HELP!! Bricked MI 8 SE - Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Questions & Answers

Hello,
I bricked Mi 8 SE with locked bootloader and no recovery... After Mi logo, a message "The system has been destroyed" appears.
How can I flash the stock rom without waiting for unlock permission? Is there any way to enter EDL mode without opening the device?

What you did?

Tried to change from stable to dev with xiaomitool. Now only fastboot is available but it's useless with a locked bootloader. Perphaps I can restore the device with mi pc suite? It's does not seem to recognize the device though

If you can access to Fastboot then you should be able to install stock miui fastboot rom. You can find the rom here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0703-t3812600
Instructions for fastboot installation: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Sorry I overlooked you are using Mi8 SE. In this case you should wait official stock fastboot rom. The rom will be available on official en.miui.com

Hi
I have the same problem
you did not find a solution?
I have already opened the device and tried to download via EDL MIFlash
But it did not work out
the error always appears ERROR: Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication.
and after the "You are not authorized to Download !!!"

In my case, I was able to boot the device by typing "fastboot continue" in fastboot mode (if you see the offline battery charging screen do it twice).

MIUI 8 Android 7 Safetynet error: CTR Profile mismatch. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x (QSD)

So hello forum,
after hours of searching i still didnt found a way to pass safetynet on my Xiaomi Smartphone.
Always the same error: CTR profile mismatch.
i have a Xiaomi Redmi note 4x (Snapdragon) with a modifiert MIUI8 Android 7 Rom (Multirom) on in (https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/development/rom-multirom-optimized-miui-rom-t3556187)
after completely deinstalling chainfires SuperSU, i installed Magisk apk and flashed magisk V12.zip. So yeah, its installed and root works. But it still doesnt pass safetynet.
i tried some moduls like "Safetynet Props Mi5" or reenabling "Magiskhide" in terminal app, doesnt work.
Changing SELinux to Permissive or Enforcing is also not working.
So i still cant play pokemon go.
2 weeks ago i had a LinageOS based rom on my smartphone, there Pokemon go was working with root, but safetynet still didnt pass. CTR profile mismatch.
Safetynet Fix 1.9.1 Module in this thread also doenst work. renaming Dev/Magisk doenst work too.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
Don't worry, all of us magisk users no longer pass safetynet today. But topjohnwu already confirmed that the next update will fix this.

Yeah, your Magisk Hide isn't working. I updated my module to try fix this problems.
i tried now your newest version (1.10.1) of your module. now its testing safetynet status much longer (2 Minutes). After that again CTR profile mismatch.
Magiskhide is on, pokemon go isnt working yet.
Newest Xiaomi phones doesn't pass SafetyNet with a UNLOCKED bootloader. Just use "fastboot oem lock" command to lock It (If you have a twrp already! You can update your twrp through twrp).
Mi Max didn't pass first but did pass afterwards when I locked it back. But my Redmi Note 3 passes anyway.
Edit: locked -> unlocked

A bit harsh, but it's the truth:
No-one else is responsible for what you do to your device. Always make sure you have the skills need (in other words, so your homework) and a way back if something goes wrong.
If you're lucky it's still salvageable. Go to your device's forum and seek help.

Chill, how Is this even possible. Did you use any unofficial method to mess up with your bootloader? Use Mi unlock tool to unlock It again, Then flash fastboot rom http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
If you are not able to unlock It officially. Use edl mode of your phone to flash fastboot rom and unlock It officially https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292

Yes, no EDL mode on Redmi Note 4. How am I so sure about this? Because I have this device, lol.
Xiaomi disabled EDL mode to prevent unofficial bootloader unlock.

it looks like fastboot detected my twrp recovery and my modified miui 8 Rom and locked it.
if i try to boot in recovery or system, there is just the mi Logo for 0,3 seconds and after that blackscreen since i used your command "fastboot oem lock"
the only thing i can do is booting in fastboot mode.
so i now requested a bootloader unlock for my phone from xiaomi and will unlock it with the unlock tool because "fastboot oem unlock" doesnt work :/
i hope xiaomi will write back per sms soon, i need my main phone.
i buyed my note 4x from gearbest with preunlocked bootloader.

I see I hope It doesn't take too much. Never seen a similar case, newer phones are being more secure for no reason.

There IS an EDL mode There MUST be an EDL mode. Searching the forum and lots of people bricked their phone with locked bootloader and many people told them to reach EDL with deep flash cable.
Edit: an easier method to boot edl http://en.miui.com/thread-536553-1-1.html
also once you get in the edl mode check device manager for "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in ports. If there is not try reinstalling drivers in MiFlash's options. If it still doesn't work, try disabling Windows signature verification(only for win8 and win10) https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
I hope these help to you

"DFC(Deep Flash Cable) is not working after 8.1.15.0 update for Redmi note 4 SD. This method is safer compare to DFC, I recommend this method to be use for normal users.
EDL mode might be removed might due to some security reason, all latest xiaomi Phone has removed EDL, and no longer can be access by using ADB COMMAND." says MIUI forum Moderator CLAYTON_WWC (Source)
So there is an EDL mode but not accesible by the adb command and DFC (after 8.1.15) but there is still a way to access it.
So, finally...I DID IT YES !!
Phone is Working after brick !
Finally bypassed the Bootloader

MI 9 Bricked After trying to change CN rom to Global rom.

Hi Guys, I hope someone of you could help me out.
Recently a Chinese friend of mine gave me an MI 9 as a present. But unfortunately they ROM of the new phone was the CN version.
I found a way to change the ROM by doing the unlock bootloader and flashing TRWP, after that, I downloaded the MI9_Global_V9.5.30_vendor_fw_flash, went back to the Recovery and wiped the "Delvik, cache, SYSTEM and Data. When I was trying to install the rom I got an error telling me the Global rom file was corrupt and restarted the cellphone.
The problem is I am stuck in the Fastboot loop, can't access the recovery and my computer don't recognize the cellphone.
I know I ****ed it up, I was wondering if I can revert that or did I just lost a phone.
Thank you Guys.

Hi,
How did you unlock your bootloader?
It asks for binding Mi account and it's not possible when your phone is bricked.
Yeah, the rule is simple. If it boots into fastboot, it can be recovered. Just flash the global you want with the MI flash tool and the fastboot file.

Guys I am too stupid for this,
I flashed the fastboot global rom in my phone with MI flash but locked it in the end (can't believe I am that retard), now I believed I have bricked it for good.
Now I can't flash the correct fastboot ROM with miflash because I have locked the bootloader while trying to flash the Global ROM. I am at the fastboot loop again.
Can I do something now or I just have a expensive paper holder?
Thank you guys.

flash another official firmware on a locked bootloader BY XIAOMI TOOL V2 https://www.xiaomitool.com/v2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMkDAxiDdKs&t=10s
Here’s something VERY important before you flash or update the ROM.
1. Xiaomi Phones manufactured for Chinese market are not able to run MIUI Global ROM.
2. Xiaomi Phones manufactured for Global markets are not able to run MIUI China ROM.
We highly recommend you to buy Xiaomi Phones via official or authorized sales channels and double check the system information before flashing or updating.

There are several user that flash global ROM in Xiaomi chinese market phones.

Hi guy,
Same thing happened to me, I felt very stupid, but it was on a MI 8 SE.
According to my experience, only there's a way to solve it and it's booting on EDL mode.
You'll need an authorized Mi account to flash the original ROM.

It should recongnize with no problems.. Just check if you have the ADB drivers and try unlocking the bootloader and then flashing the Rom with the miflash tool. Still, if you have access to fastboot, things should be fine! Don't panic hahha

Read carefully and report
1. Try to hold down the buttons vol down and power, see if : fastboot devices sees it. If so XiaoMi Tool will restore it. If not do the same try recovery vol up + power. Do adb devices and see if anything shows up. Worst case you'll have to open the phone up and connect the EDL pins together and it will flash anything. I use minimal ADB and Fastboot phone plugged via USB cable into the computer and run those commands.
2. Fully bricks their device here is the unbrick factory method
https://c.mi.com/thread-1479882-1-0.html
that's connecting EDL pins with the phone case removed for a phone that doesn't boot at all

But it will work, that's what the factory does. Obviously the last resort.

Redmi 4 (Santoni) bricked. Please help.

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))

Have you tried installing TWRP via fastboot?
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.

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))
Please Help.....

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..

Bricked CC9 from anti-rollback. Help with EDL flashing

I accidentally flashed a MiUI 10 ROM with miflash onto my CC9 which has bricked my phone as it was previously on MiUI 11. My bootloader is now locked because I accidentally checked that option in miflash so I can't just fastboot flash another working ROM. I tried putting the phone into EDL mode using the test pin method, however since I did that once, it will no longer go into EDL mode again. Is this normal?
If anyone knows or can point me in the direction of someone who can unbrick my phone it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
This is why you have to be extra careful while flashing something.. hope you find a solution

Can you access fastboot mode? If so, you can try unlocking the bootloader again and installing the rom you want. If you haven't removed the mi account it will unlock and you don't even have to wait the required time again.
Unfortunately since I bought the phone off AliExpress, the seller had already unlocked it so their account is bound to the phone rather than mine. I have managed to get the phone to boot into EDL mode by the test point method but I don't have an edl authorised account to flash a working ROM. If anyone knows someone who could help me out with this I'm more than happy to pay them for their time ?

Download the latest fastboot firmware (MIUI 11) for your mi cc9 (not mi 9 lite). Don't grab the recovery.zip firmware, it's useless and will give you errors.
When you finish your download, unpack your .tar firmware twice and flash it with MiFlashTool while you are on fastboot mode. (Power/Vol-).
Next time, ask before flashing not after !
Hello , how is it going?. I also have problem with my cc9 and tried to flash latest miui 10 v11.3.4.0 and now it's softbricked , I'm having problem with Mi Flash since it's showing lock state error. any fix for it?

Cheers
I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I installed Global ROM in CC9(Chinese edition) device and the device BootLoader is locked.
When I used fastboot and miflashtool, I got a message "Unauthorized for this operation"
I tried to unlock it and I also get a message "please add your account in miui settings > developer options > mi unlock status"
But i can't get out of recovery mode so I can't change the settings.
I tried to unlock but failed and also attempts to flash in EDL mode failed.
Sorry for bad english

Mi 9 lite
I have a xiaomi mi 9 lite and it is in bootloop I try to turn it on and the MI logo appears for a second and it goes off I can't go into fastboot or recovery I already opened it to do test point and flash but it asks me for an authorized account If someone here has an authorized account that can lend me I will pay for the rental of the authorized account please help with that.
This guy helped me. He uses ultraviewer.net for remote connection. 1722 rubles for flashing.
MOD EDIT: Phone Number Removed
Le: how did you bricked it? I restored an older backup of android 9 over Android 10 from twrp. But from what I understand cc9 doesn't have rollback protection.
Le2: you can also try those fishy 710 firehose no Auth loaders you can find from various sources. Didn't worked for me but you can try.
If you flash Revolution OS or flash Android 9 over Android 10 rom you have good chance to hard brick device so you need to flash first fastboot rom if you want to go from 10 to 9
Thanks
friend @editheraven thank you very much for the contact, I spoke and yesterday I could flash my MI 9 lite I really appreciate it, thank you bro.

Download the fastboot firmware version and execute flash all. (not flash and lock).
I assume you have fastboot access.

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)

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...
