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))
Please Help.....

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.

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..

Redmi Note 9 merlin 4/128 NFC - Hard Brick

A couple days ago my Redmi Note 9 (merlin) 4/128 GB NFC automically installed the Update from V12.0.3.0.QJOEUXM to V12.0.4.0.QJOEUXM over night. I had rooted and installed a TWRP on it. As I had noticed that it was not rooted anymore I tried to reflash the TWRP over Fastboot because it was overwritten by MIUI. When I tried to boot the twrp.img the phone did so and the screen was on but black. After 4 or 5 tries it hanged up in a bootloop and I cannot access Fastboot Mode or something else anylonger.
Is there something left I can try?

It goes on and Windows makes the sound for a new device connected, and then it goes off again, and Windows makes the sound for disconnecting a device. This repeats for around 4 or 5 minutes then it goes finally off.

That's bad.
Hold the power +/- longer then 15 seconds try both.
Second
Charge for about 10 minutes and try the same again.
Last drain it when down keep pushing the power button to flat it.hook it up on desktop and install miflashtools.or try power +/- again

Sorry I thought flash tools had a option in top for selecting boot options.There is a mi tool around where can select the boot options.i need to search on my desktop what it was.we need to trigger it in fastboot/recovery mode some how.most likely it was xiaomi tools V2 but I really need to check it.tools V2 got a bricked option do.but since it restarts everytime it's pretty long shot

Thanks in advance

What should I do in this tool? The tool doesn't recognize my phone. It brings nothing since I cannot access Fastboot.

Well basically there is only one real option left . contact mi service center because mi don't support or they closed there download,edl support on there phones to prevent rom swapping .there is a edl cable with mtk support around but that's a long shot.because I never had a messed up phone like this.at least not one with mtk.without recognise you're desktop I don't see a fix in this to get in fastboot or flash it.

Download platform tools drop it on c:/ so c:/platform tools .install abd drivers package if you didn't have it.go in platform tools the top line and tick Cmd hit enter.try command : fastboot devices .try a few times if a number pops up you can try .fastboot reboot fastboot

Is your phone still bricked, If yes, I can provide link for the factory firmware recently released for Merlin, You could give flashing that in SP Flash a try, does not need auth account.

If your device keep booting in recovery (or blackscreen), you need to erase misc partition.
Here, is the guide for erasing MISC partition: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4209299/

If you got bootloop after flashed magisk, you need to flash stock rom boot.img.
If you got bootloop after flashed TWRP, you need to flash stock rom recovery.img.
If you got bootloop (or black screen) after flashed misc partition, you need to erase misc partition.
If it keeps restarting, you've made any wrong modification. You need to follow your steps back and try to unmake your modification.
If you can't enter in fastboot mode or recovery mode, you need to flash stock rom using sp flash tool.
If you are using V12.0.4.0 or lower, you can flash without EDL and authentication.
If you are using V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need EDL and authentication for flashing.
If you are using V12.0.5.0 or higher, TWRP will not work.
If you want to use sp flash tool, you need to flash the stock rom preloader using V12.0.4.0 (or lower). (It will works perfectly with lower preloader binary version).
With an older preloader version, your phone will can receive DA files and accept flashing with NO auth.
Everything you need to do is plug your phone in usb (without press any key, if you press any key it will enter in EDL mode and requests authenticaion).
Here, are PRELOADER binaries for flashing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-10x-4g-xiaomi-redmi-note-9.4221081/

Here, you can find boot images for original stock and magisk patched: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4204671/
If you want to keep TWRP working on V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need to flash the stock rom lk partition using V12.0.4.0 (or lower). (It will works perfectly with lower lk partition version).
Here, are LK images for flashing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4218925/
If you want to disable TWRP, you need to flash stock rom recovery partition.

I tried actually before after failed attempt of flashing twrp. First, I got my redmi note 9 bricked after following one of the guides posted here (rooting), I will call this state 1 brick. In state 1 brick you can still access fastboot mode normally. Then i tried to flash twrp hoping to just flash a rom to fix it leading to state 2 brick. In state 2 brick, it seems like it is stucked on recovery (btw the recovery is only displaying black screen) and is classifying fastboot as the bootloader, meaning you can boot into fastboot using adb command reboot bootloader. Then I followed one of the guides here again and then it managed to lead my device to state 3 brick. In state 3 brick it continuously boot looping only displaying the boot image for a second then repeat. Normally it can be fixed by flashing a stock rom using sp flash tool but not with xiaomi devices. Now I am stucked with a hard bricked note 9 with no way of fixing.

You need to read every line and every word careful and follow only specific guide for your specific problem.
If you try to do anything you see, obviously you will cause more damages to your device.

Endless bootloop (Redmi 9 lancelot)

I tried installing crDroid (unlock bootloader, uploaded FW, recovery SHRP, then install ROM) and after reboot the phone would go back to recovery.
By mistake I "installed" SHRP from ZIP package (I thought I need to install latest recovery file to install ROM with android 12) and phone went into reboot loop, I can't do anything, any key combination doesn't help - I can't even turn it off.
help!

I opened the phone, disconnected the battery, but nothing happened - still bootloop
I'm planning to use SP Flash Tool
Immediately after connecting USB C, the phone boots into bootlop (after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery)

What happens when you flash the custom ROM?
Try to flash the stock firmware and miui
again. Download the latest miui recovery ROM for Lancelot and copy it to the sd card. If you can still boot into recovery you can connect the phone with a PC.
You can also try to reboot into bootloader if the reboot options work from sharp, if not connect the phone to a PC with adb and fastboot installed on it and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
And now if you are in fastboot you can do anything, you can try to reflash the firmware, recovery etc.
I personally don't use SHRP, it was really buggy and not great. I use the twrp from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-unofficial-twrp-recovery-3-6-1_11-0.4421301/.
Thanks for reading and I hope u succeed,
Bye.

U can also try to flash it with MI flash tool.

At the time of writing, no key combination was working - I can't get into Fastboot or Recovery. I let the battery run out for that moment.

That's what I'll do first, then move on to the solution below.
I opened the phone and disconnected the battery, but plugging in the USB cable immediately turns the phone on and bootloops again.
I'm using Linux and Windows, and one user hinted at hacking the USB driver so I believe it won't boot the phone, only then will I have communication? Other than that I don't know how to do it anyway.
For now, after the phone's battery runs out, I'll try with this solution

I got to the point of connecting the phone to the computer and it connects (the procedure says to use the Power button, but I had to disconnect the battery because Bootloop was falling in), using the Vol- button - the phone keeps connecting and disconnecting....

For a while I tried to connect the phone via SP Flash under Linux - in administrator mode the message "memory protection violation" appears (I don't know how the message is in English).
Adding a udev exception was supposed to help - after lsusb the Mediatek device appeared, I added the exception, restarted - and the same thing happens (the program crashes).

I finally managed (with the help of a group on telegram https://t.me/HelioG85_Unified) by switching off the phone and carefully going through all the points (except the update at the very end) from this link

Wow so many posts... Did you manage to fix the phone now? What do you mean by SP Flash will not fit the DA? Did you download the eng ROM for Lancelot? BTW I haven't done this kind of thing, but when I tried to flash my Lancelot with SP Flash tool it didn't work, because it was just waiting for device.

I think that if you go through the MTK Bypass process carefully, step by step, you may succeed, as I did.

The battery trick does'nt work for me. I can't remember exact version, sorry - but my way was going BACK with SP Flash tool version (from newest to working with file). When I found right version the rest was only going with procedure.
I did it twice: first time I was scared, second - with finding right version of SPFT, every time - like walk in the park. Looong walk all procedure was like 2-3 hours.
Second one try was after trying to load Andorid 13 (2x). Don't do it kids!
After all, my Revolut app stop working lately on my phone and Redmi is retired for now... (and also becoming unusable because slowing dramatically)

Thanks for your answer. it has worked with battery empty (though that might not have benn necessary); not on 1st atttempt v5.2020 but it did with version 5v.2216 in case it might help someone...it didnt flash miui fastboot rom 12.5 but it did flash engineering rom. and from there i will twrp and miui.
Thanks for your suggestion of trying different spflash versions.

Question Any stable TWRP for POCO M3 PRO 5G camellia, Android 12 MIUI 13.0.3?

I don't want to brick my device yet, is there any stable working twrp recovery? Also I don't have OTG cable so not sure about the twrp in which touch is not working.

twrp doesnt work for a/b devices, they dont have a recovery partition for it so even if a twrp could boot it could be useless and flashing couldnt work if im sure

Twrp works perfectly with devices with A/B partitions.
(see threads for Xiaomi series 12 for example).
For Mediatek soc devices there is little or no development whatsoever for roms or Twrp.
The Twrp(s) for this phone are unofficial because the Team Win Recovery Project currently developed by SKKK does not provide TWRP for this device.

stay away from twrp for camellia. the risk is damage bootloader (it happened to my phone few days ago), with bootloop. and the only way to solve this mtkcli with phone in brom mode. a difficult procedure. so enjoy your phone without twrp. follow my suggestion

Question IDK Redmi 10S

Hi there.
I wanted to root a Redmi 10S device. Bootloader was also opened. The flash went during fastboot mode, then after the fastboot reboot command, the device restarted, but it only shows "Redmi" and the word android at the bottom. I tried to access recovery and fastboot mode, but powr+volD only restarts the device and only the Redmi inscription is visible.
I don't know what they call this state in which the device is.
If there is a suitable link on the forum, I would appreciate it.

Hi there!
What did you flash excatly?
I mean, did you flash the whole phone, or just a patched boot image?

Just the boot.ini. but I think this would make fastboot mode work. But it's not working

What should I use to reflash? Mi flash? This is the NS

Yes... I probably mixed up the boot file in the downloads folder and not the correct received flash

Then, you don't have to flash the whole phone again, just flash back the original image, and try rooting with twrp and magisk zip file (rename the apk file from magisk.apk to magisk.zip, and then flash it in twrp)
If you can't install twrp, or something went wrong, take a full backup from your phone (like using google's backup service, and Miui backup--> it 'll save the backup to internal storage/miui/backup/AllBackup) and then ypu can reflash the phone with mi flash tool, but don't lock the bootloader back, and after flash, you shuold enable oem unlock in developer settings.
One quick question:
Did you enable oem unlocking in developer settings, before trying to flash the modified image?

yepp, enable oem unlock. But fastbootmode is required for all operations. But fastboot mode doesn't work.

What do you mean it doesn't work?
Can't enter into fastboot mode?

Can't enter fastboot mode. The device only shows "Redmi" lettering. If fatboot worked, I could have done it already. power+volume down, the device just restarts and shows "redmi".

Hmm..
And if you holding the volD and power buttons together for a longer time?
Like a min, or sth
I had a similar situation, but after a few tries it went into fastboot mode

it just restarts, as long as I press and hold volume down+power, if I don't press it, it just shows the redmi text

I apologise, but I 've currently ran out of ideas. If I can find any solution, I 'll post an answer about it.

Hi there the forgive my on my bad english and text.
The Only thing u can do is restoring the firmware by using brom mode, Look it up or follow the steps i'll give u....
First keep in mind brom works best Without the batary conected . So remove the thin cover plate at the back u can loosen it with heat , after removing the cover move all screws and remove the housing so u can disconect the batary at the mainboard .
Next u will have to install the Vcom drivers according your chipset mediatek etc.
For the Vcom drivers and install of it u can follow https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16640.html
U must download or allready have a firmware file in fastboot format , Open up SP Flash tool and go to optionsd and select connection, click the w/o battery option and close it. Open your scatter file and than click on download . Insert your phone wile holding your volume down or up , with my device a redmi note 10s it was the up and down to getter for it was flashing the rom. this should flash your device back with a working fastboot and working rom.
Hope u will succeed...
Greetsss

Yep, this guy here 's got the point. If you can't flash with sp flash tool because auth fail, there's a method to bypass it.
You can find the tutorial here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/bypass-mediateks-sp-flash-tool-authentication-protection/
I also got some help from this guy's post, many thanks to him too.

Let us know how it's going with it! ;D

I can unbrick the device at any time. There is another problem. An incorrect boot file is probably being copied. After TWRP you will never enter android again. But TWRP also only loads up to the subtitle. I tried a lot of methods. Now I will try google p ex. android and make it root.
But, if someone can recommend a device intended for gaming, but easy to root, then I will buy one

If you can root it easily, then the expensive one is good for me! Normal root was not available for typical gamer phones for years. If I buy something for which root may not be available, then I'm wasting my money...
