Mate 10 pro testpoint guidance (bricked) - Huawei Mate 10 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi all,
I have a bricked Mate 10 pro (yeah boohoo), but I think it might be fixed using testpoint method and DC phoenix. However I'm unfamiliar with how the testpoint proedure works and some guidance is much appreciated. I have opened my device, found the tespoint and soldered some wire to it so I can ground it easily. But... I don't know what to expect and what should (or shouldn't) happen.
Can someone please explain:
- first, do I need special drivers?
- at what point should I ground the testpoint:
- with or without batery connected?
- with or without USB cable connected?
- while powered off, while in fastboot mode or while in erecovery? Any other mode is not working on my device, so no system, just fastboot or erecovery
- should I just ground it briefly and then release or keep grounded during the whole process?
So far I haven't had any luck getting DC Phoenix to recognise the device as in forced upgrade mode. Any help is much appreciated, as the DC unlocker crew haven't offered any help at all...
Rgds,
David

Testpoint Mate 10 PRO (BLA)

Hello
This Testpoint Mate 10 PRO ( model
BLA-AL00 BLA-L09 BLA-L29 BLA-A09
Looks like a testpoint!
Hello brother. if im not wrong this Phone using HiSilocon CPU... does it have TP too?.. if it does what tool will i use to flash ?
Best Regards
pretty much all huawei hisilicon devices have a testpoint somewhere, most are documented if not just connect the device and short the most likely points until you find it. as for the best tool its probably currently DCphoenix

Unbrick BLA-A09
Can a Huawei Mate 10 Pro BLA-A09 US version be unbricked by using the test point method? I looked everywhere but only found the method for other versions. May someone guide me to the right direction. I attempted to research through the DC unlocker site as some of the forums refer to this site but from what I can see it only shows the other versions to be compatible. I also need a guide on how to do this process and were to locate the needed files thanks.

If DC Phoenix has the bootloader files required for A09, then sure. But I don't know if they do nor do I have an account to login to check.

[BRICKED] fastboot mode with black screen

So.. My Huawei P10 won't boot neither into system nor recovery, the screen is off and there's no LED indication.
It is recognized in fastboot, I can erase and flash both system and recovery, though rebooting the device does nothing, it just shows up in fastboot again, still with screen off.
Is there any way to save this phone? I installed a new battery too.
dc pheonix and hcu client did not help either.
:crying:
I have the same issue. Hard brick, doesnt turn on after I upgraded to oreo.
Guys, I have this issue, too and worked a bit with DC Phoenix support.
The reason why my P10 didn't boot anymore is simple: I just flashed the wrong firmware files for rolling back from Pie to Oreo.
Now I have a shiny black piece of junk.
I tried to flash with DC Phoenix, also with test point. The device was recognized as serial device, so the test point was working. But DC Phoenix failed at flashing.
DC support says, that Dec 18 security patches are preventing to flash old firmwares but DC needs to flash the original factory firmware, OTA isn't working.
So at the end of an 8 hour day trying to fix my P10 my result was a nice chat and a fast refund of my 19€ for DC pheonix.
If you can't get it working even with test point method, your phone is is a piece of junk.
Mostly it's caused by doing something wrong at downloading firmwares or flashing them, also while flashing wrong Magisk modules, Xposed or wrong boot images.
Since Pie don't have a boot partition anymore it's important to download a rollback firmware (2 files instead of 3) so the recovery is able to reformat before flashing.

were you able to send flash erecovery through adb ? or did it show success read and failed write?
thank you

For adb it’s needed that the phone starts completely into system or twrp - both not possible for me.
With fastboot it’s not possible to flash eRecovery, just recovery.

Yes, I tried the same, and also got the security patch warning, though little did I know I could get a refund. I did not try the 'test point' method. Not sure if I get it, do you connect/solder usb-cable onto the phone's motherboard?
You need to connect the test point to ground, you can use the shielding right beside of it. Take a small wire or tweezers for it.
I did it like this:
- connect the phone to pc, it should be recognized as fastboot device
- Short test point with ground
- hold down the power button until the computer recognizes the device again
- install the serial driver
DC should work now. But if it doesn’t, write it in the dc forums and you’ll get refund

you need to know exactly build number and flash latest firmware according to build number with chimera tool.
make sure that phone is in fastboot mode... am sorry if i cant explained well ... for more details write me at [email protected]

Yes, please share some information how can we recover our dead p10. It would greatly help the community. Thank you
I tried it with DC and Chimera. Both aren't working for me, because of the security patches. Huawei did some deep changes between October and December 2018 and made it very hard to flash even with test points - another reason for me to leave Huawei to my alltime smartphone enemy Samsung...
The DC-Phoenix and Chimera teams are working hard on a solution, take a look at their forums and you'll notice that many people have this problems, just because Huawei ****ed it up.
I mean, we did all something wrong, otherwise this threat won't exist. But Huawei made it hard for us to revive the devices and this reminds me of Apples politics. Huawei doesn't need to give support to unlocked phones but it's very unfair to prevent their customers from doing what they want including unlocking.
Back to topic:
Follow the forums of DC and Chimera. If you found any solution or fix, please post it here.
My device, also bricked while flashing the wrong firmware for rolling back from pie, shows just black screen and fastboot is working.
Test point didn't work, also Chimera couldn't flash anything.
My device gets quiet warm while in fastboot, so I disconnected the battery to prevent deep discharging.
Dear the same situation was happened with my p10 but i recovered... So if you want to recover your phone then give ultra view id and pass....... If you have chimera and dc phoenix you can make it possible.. But remember you must need to know exactly build number
If any one needs my help here is my WhatsApp contact me anytime... +923007969629
If you can share the steps. It would help the community thank you @chsaim
Yes, please share the steps to help the community.
Thanks!
There's absolutely no reason for not sharing the steps in a simple tutorial. Instead @chsaim is begging for remote access to our computers, I don't know why.
I chatted a lot with Chimera support and they told me that there's currently not way to recover, with faulty partitions caused by flashing, with the Dec.2018 security patches and newer. This included the firmware 382, on some 380 devices it doesn't work either.
They also want to send me an E-Mail when they find a solution for this. For now I got my money back from them - great support, also the DC team.
I'm happy to get a used mainboard from local market and now have my P10 as spare phone.
yeap.same **** again with Huawei phones.ı want to try pie rom and when ı try rollback oreo phones turn off and not open again.this is not like a other hard or soft brick problem because I have a experiance about other problems.phone cant charge or pc can't see the device ı cant see red led too.just dead.ı use this phone 2 years but never buying huawei again neverrrr.anybody found a solition ?

Testpoint should be connected till pc recognize it properly or connected all the time during flashing? Do you have any logs at what point dc crashed in your case?

I can access fastboot with dc-phoenix. Once I tried to send erecovery, recovery, or kernel w
Through cmd. It reads but it can't write. That's where I get stuck. If dc it's able to write then I would be able to recover my dead phone. Thank you

Test point needs to be shorted until the computer recognizes the P10 as an USB serial device. You need drivers for this, which you can get from DC Phoenix.

If you know about the testpoint pin or edl mode, i guess you are in big trouble and doing a lot of research about it now or even talked to those guys who can remote in to your pc and unbrick your device using TeamViewer
My advice is dont waste your time, just find a way to send it back to China to get it fix.
Nobody have any clues about this testpoint pin and PiLyTam is BS, testpoint pin on all other Xiaomi model will be close together, HTF that this model can be so far away that you cant even use tweezer to short it?
BTW, if your phone is in below condition, not just one but all combined. Trust me, dont waste your time
- your phone is in bootloop and your phone have no OS installed because you have already delete it with TWRP
- bootloader is locked
- you have using that sh1tty xiaomi flashtool and haven't noticed that "flash and lock" was selected by default
Oh and by the way, welcome to the sh1tty group of being xiaomi's customers, dont get me wrong the phone is great but if you are not in China and using "grey products" you are on your own

Possibly Wrong Pins
I believe the pins are the wrong pins. I've been trying different methods of entering EDL mode on my own bricked Mi 9 (locked bootloader + the system is destroyed) and cannot enter EDL mode no matter what I try. Has anyone been successful?

Have a look here for test point. You will need to read it properly saying something about serious problems later. Not sure if he is talking about the battery or the cable that hides the pins to be disconnected.

**Continue at your own risk**
You'll have to detach battery cable first before attempting to circuit the 2 testpoints as shown on the picture. Don't forget !
In order to reach the 2 points you'll have to disconnect the ribbon cable as shown in the video. Then connect the 2 points (with a clip or anything that can connect both) and reconnect the ribbon cable again (keep holding the 2 points).
That would be it

Hard Bricked Mi9 Global

So have I done something that apparently no one else has on XDA.
Hard bricked my Mi9?
I have heard that you cannot go back from Miui 11 to Miui 10 on China based models or try an install a rom with a locked bootloader.
None of those things are the case here as this is a global Mi9 purchased within New Zealand.
None of the usual tricks work. No battery light black screen no input response from buttons.
Appears like a total hard brick an I have no idea why. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with hard bricked Mi9s that have bricked for no reason after I did standard things an the bootloader was unlocked?
what about edl ? do you already try it?

Connect the charger, hold all the buttons (except the AI one), until you feel the phone vibrate or at least see the battery charging LED blink.
Don't let go after 5-10 seconds, but keep holding for 30+ seconds. See if anything happens.
a while ago i bricked my mi9se (because of lazyiness while flashing wrong android rom version with a wrong twrp without changing twrp version before).
so fastboot or recovery not worked. EDL mode was only enterable with contact/test point method -> opening back, connect the two points, connect usb cable. (you have to look on youtube for the right contact points for mi9).
so i entered EDL mode, but:
you have to have a authorized xiaomi account to flash something, and a special xiaomi tool to do that. no chance to skip that. believe me.
on older xiaomi devices you maybe can flash something on your own in edl mode. not so on newer devices like the mi9se, and presumably also on mi9.
you have to have your phones back removed, and look for somebody on the internet with a authorized xiaomi account. there are some ppl out there, which maybe can unbrick your phone in EDL mode via teamviewer for a charge around 15 to 25 bucks.

When you connect the phone to the PC , go to control panel and then under device manager, Com ports you should see Port 9008. if so you are in EDL mode. As long as your phone is bound to you ( you have the needed credentials to sign into MiCloud, you should be able to restore your phone.)
I do not have the mi9 Yet. I have a Mi8 and I am considering a Mi9
Try flashing the global fastboot rom for your device.
IMPORTANT >>>>>>> It must be a fastboot images rom and not a regular recovery rom<<<<<<
Use google for the absolute latest build, I spent 30 seconds just now and found this page which as it linked : https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/download-official-miui-roms-for-xiaomi-mi-9/ You want/NEED the one called " 11.0.3.0 QFAMIXM | Fastboot | Download"
Unpack Rom twice on your desktop, ( Its double compressed, must be unpacked twice.)
Open folder and you will see a folder that is called Images and a series of batch files.
With phone connected and in EDL or fastboot , double click "flashall.bat" Do not choose the file that asks to lock the bootloader , if it exists) This batch file will restore every single partition from the folder called images.
When it is finished the phone will reboot, sign into your wifi, and then Mi Cloud account and begin setup.
Be sure to make a Twrp backup and save it to your desktop.
You are welcome, enjoy your phone.
PS: if this fails you may need to buy a deep flash cable from Amazon, they cost $6 to $20
https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Cable-xiaomi-Models-Engineering/dp/B06ZYG46VZ Another option is using a program called QPST
If this helped you, you are welcome to buy me a beer,via my paypal. If you can afford to do so.
Tried button pushing advice an no luck. Will try this but am pretty sure surgery is probably my best option.
Thanks for trying to help. 11.0.3.0 is an excellent rom an I've had success several times with soft bricks as it bricked in a bootloader loop with the little Xiaomi cartoon thingy.
I might try your suggestion with both my miflash set up an my miflashpro set up ?

Can not read from port COM Mi Flash

I think I finally destroyed my cell phone. I tried to install the Chinese version firmware on my Mi 9T Pro Global and it's on a Hard Brick: It doesn't turn on fastboot or recovery. Opening the phone, I managed to connect to EDL to try to recover by Mi Flash and only the error "Can not read from port com" appears and I've tried everything! I tried several different ROMS, changed the Firehose file that prevents unauthorized accounts by MI Auth, changed Mi Flash versions, installed all necessary drivers several times, changed the USB port to 2.0 and 3.0 and nothing happened. I also tried alternative programs like Qualcomm's QPST/QFIL, and also a Virtual Box. I just found a thread that taught a method where I would have to pay 15 dollars to recover the phone, but what if I hard brick it again , I'll always have to pay 15 dollars to retrieve the cell phone, and I can't do that, not to mention that I don't even know if this method would work. Holy s*** I don't think I've ever been so desperate hahahaha has anyone retrieved any Mi 9T Pro through EDL, or at least knows how to solve this port COM problem?

Paying someone is the only way to make EDL work these days.
Also ensure your cable works. My port didn't seem to work with any Xiaomi cables for data, however it fortunately worked with a magnetic end charging cable as my port is presumably a tad damaged.
You will get your money back with the guy I did it with if it doesn't work.
So touching those pins are the only way you can get any sort of output to the screen?

The price of a new motherboard is really expensive. I'd probably rule that out.
Also if you can get to download mode in any way, I'd use Linux. I've not managered to get ADB working on Windows this year. However Linux has been fine. EDL flashing worked in Windows for me.

Paying someone is the only way to make EDL work these days.
Also ensure your cable works. My port didn't seem to work with any Xiaomi cables for data, however it fortunately worked with a magnetic end charging cable as my port is presumably a tad damaged.
You will get your money back with the guy I did it with if it doesn't work.

My cable seems to be working as it charges my mom's cell phone, and the PC also recognizes the EDL, though I haven't tried using other cables.
Yes, Test Point is the only answer the phone gives me that it's still alive, as the PC recognizes the EDL, even though the phone doesn't turn on the screen (it doesn't even vibrate when I hold the power button or try to turn it on on the fastboot/recovery)
If it's a motherboard problem, I'll follow your advice and buy another cell phone, it wouldn't be worth it to just send it for assistance and pay a fortune
Finally, I don't have access to any linux unfortunately, but I was also having problems with ADB, and that's exactly why I accidentally installed Chinese Firmware lol
Mine got all the way up to the flashing point and it failed until I changed cable. Just because it charges, doesn't mean it'll work for data.
And you've tried vol up + hold power? And try detach the battery so it's definitely off of EDL.
I mean a motherboard will fix it, but that's just to replace your emmc memory. But you're better off trying the EDL pay service regardless.
What do you mean you don't have access to Linux? It's free and one doesn't need to install it to boot into it.
After you recover to an ancient Chinese rom through EDL, one still needs to unlock the bootloader to go back to something better like Miui.eu.

About the cable I didn't know it could be detected by the pc and at the same time not being able to transfer data, thanks! I will try to change the cable in the next attempts
Yes, I tried to hold the volume and power, but nothing happened. I also tried it with the battery ribbon cable plugged in and unplugged, but both didn't work either.
I don't know anything about PC OS hahaha mb, for me installing linux in my pc, would be like installing IOS on a Samsung. So I think I have access to Linux
About the bootloader I don't think I'll have any problems, I've already unlocked the phone, rooted it and changed the ROM to an AOSP-based one
Oh, and forgot to say: a friend also hard bricked his Mi 8 Lite and retrieved it via EDL. He said that the problem I'm having, he was also, and he only managed to solve it after downloading the rom and files of a guy here in Brazil, but unfortunately on the site he didn't have the Mi 9T Pro files He said he changed firehose, persist, patch0 and rawprogram0 (all files present in the images folder of ROM) and it worked! Mi Auth was bypassed and the system came out of the brick.
