Question Mi 11 Ultra (you are unlocking a special device which should do with special permissions) - Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

Hello, i tried to install official ROM(V12.5.4.0.RKAMIXM_20210611.0000.00_11.0_global) on Mi 11 Ultra through MiFlash 2020.3.14.0 by using clean all and lock, because i wanted the phone to be in the locked state for some bank programs. But the ROM wasn't installed and the device is locked now. The problem is then i try to use miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24 i am getting this error message - you are unlocking a special device which should do with special permissions.
Does anyone has any idea how to bypass it ?

something seems wrong in what you say. if device is locked with the wrong ROM then you are doomed.
you are going back to MI version from what version?

Someone on a different thread shared this tool that requires JAVA to run it. I used it before and it was way better than MI flash tool. you can use it to unlock, lock, download latest rom, flash, update, etc.

There was a russian version ROM before. But all the files are deleted now. The ROM itself then was installed it said Success on the MiFlash Utility, but it didn't boot up and the only thing i have at this moment is a phone with a fastboot mode

have you tried to hard restart phone? hold power botton and volume down until screen goes off then released both, will it boot back to fastboot or will boot normally?
seems like the only issue you've got is just a phone restart, (hopefully)

Trying to download java + tool to launch the program. Maybe you can suggest which one is easiest to use ?

both same, I used JAVA over JDK.

before you proceed with the tool above, try to hold power button and volume button for 12-14 sec's multiple times. sometimes it works from 2nd or 3rd or 4th try.

The problem is you cannot flash a different version of Rom and lock the bootloader. It will not boot. You should try to flash the original Rom and see can it boot! If it boot then unlock the bootloader again to flash the Global version and don't lock it!

As well i cna't find any offcial mi 11 ultra ROM on the https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2

Like I said before if the flash other version rom to your phone, you cannot lock the bootloader. If you do so, it will not boot. If you need to use the bank app then you have to use the original rom!

I am in Hong Kong, I am using the EU Rom with the bootloader unlocked and all my bank apps still working!

I think your phone should be Chinese version you can go to below site and download the chinese version rom to install it!

xiaomirom.com

Does your phone have only Xiaomi logo at the back? Or does it have (made in.......etc)? If only Xiaomi logo then Chinese, if not, then global

Ok, so the version should be chinese as i understood from all of the comments, but the problem now is then i try to flash the China ROM i get this error

i have same problem and can't unlock bootloader of my mi11 ultra with Chinese version.showing same error ( special permission ) ! i've opened topic for this issue 2 weeks ago but i'm still waiting to someone help me !

Maybe the whole story is you have to go to fastboot, open MI unlock tool, login with any account that was approved to unlock a device before trying to unlock, and then try to unlock the device.
Anyone tried this way? I mean using the account of another mi11ultra device on the bricked one. Maybe this is what the guys on telegram do?

Ok, so basically i would suggest everyone just find a guy through telegram and let him unbrick it. They do that with the token verification by using Xiaomi auth tool. It is not that easy to get this tool. So i would suggest just to pay for the fix.

[Brick] Xiaomi Mi5 64GB (Locked BL, No EDL, No Recovery)

OK here is my problem,
I got a brand new Xiaomi Mi5 64GB and the first thing that I did was to connect it with Mi PC Suite to check for updates.
It found an update and started to update until it failed, after that the device couldn't normal boot or recovery boot (Vol+ and POWER went to a black screen with "mi logo" same as normal boot).
View attachment 3788573
I can only boot on fastboot mode, but can't do anything in the fastboot as BL is locked.
Official BL unlocking method can't work as device isn't linked to any Mi Account and MiFlashUnlock can't verify my device.

Read OP again please.
1. I CAN'T boot into recovery.
2. I CAN'T boot EDL.
3. I CAN boot just into Fastboot, but Bootloader is Locked.
4. I CAN'T unlock BL via official methode as there is no linked Mi Account on Device.
I think that i need a hardware way to unlock BL.
Have you tried this method to see if it works?

You CAN boot into recovery, don't be silly. Have you read the instructions?
Hold volume up and power button and a MI logo should came up, that's the recovery.

Recovery was a black screen with a white phone, not "mi".
Phone is not detectable anyway if i normally or vol+ boot.
Im not a noob i know what recovery is, so i need answers with the facts that i mention before, no recovery, no edl, unlockable bl.
Im gonna send it to repair shop anyway but still my situation is a big problem that xiaomi should look into it. I get bricked via official update tool, and i cant unlock bl cause xiaomi's unlocking tool stupidly requires linked mi account on device to verify.
When you boot into fastboot and update in mipc suite, it doesn't work ?
I don't understand why official tool need unlock bootloader, it's insane from Xiaomi

Mi PC Suite doesn't recognize device in fastboot mode, it returns a screen to connect in normal mode first.
Only MiFlash can see the device in fastboot but it needs unlocked BL to flash the Official fastboot ROMs. Madness!
Aarff just, you're right
Just speculation but maybe can you reboot in recovery with adb commands ? (adb reboot recovery)
Or maybe download twrp, run shell from where it is saved and run
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img[
?

Oh yes sorry, it's a phone, my bad.
Then the recovery works fine for you, just the PC doesn't recognise it, which is driver or windows problem, not your phone.
SpinoRex: Fastboot doesn't work because of the locked bootloader. Only option is the official recovery with chinese mi pc suite.
check this post : en.miui. com/thread-299790-1-1.html
You need Engineering Flash Cable
They are in the same situation ... solved?
Mi suite in chinese
You may try to use MI SUITE in Chinese. I was in your exact situation trying to remove a fake rom from my MI5, but with this I solved all the issues.
Just one advice: don't use a pre-loaded ROM, let the program to download it from the internet.
you can boot your device into edl mode with a special fastboot
just type "fastboot reboot" to go to the Edl mode and flash rom with miFlash

Device stuck in TWRP

Hello,
I am not sure if I am right here, because I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Global, but here is no place for this model.
Besides that I have a small, I guess it is a big problem, with my Phone.
I tried to install the clean version of MiUI with the XiamiTool V2 ... but the whole Story started one week ago:
About one week ago I tried to reinstall my Phone with the XiamiTool V2. Everything looked good, it found my model and even told me that it can download the custom rom automatically. But I had the 7 day lock. So I waited.
Yesterday I tried it again. But the tool was not shown the custom rom anymore. It didn't even find the correct TWRP.
After a bit research I found the codename joyeuse for my phone. I downloaded the TWRP and custom rom for it, gave it to the tool and it worked.
But then ... my phone booted only into TWRP. The tool did not recognize my phone.
After a bit of google I find the Xiaomi Flash Tool. But the tool tells me that my device and rom version are missmatching. Now I am stuck and don't know what to do.
/Edit:
I just checked online which phone I have:

Are you frozen in a black screen?
Now I was able to bring back my phone to the original ROM. The flash_all.sh works for me great.
But how do I install the clean xiaomi.eu version?
I tried this video, but it still keeps rebooting into TWRP.

Question Mi 11 ultra fastboot loop

I have bricked Mi 11 Ultra 12/512 CN version. Cant enter Recovery, also it has locked bootloader.
What amazes me, I paid for EDL flash, it didn't work. Phone just bootloops 10 times and gets in fastboot again.
Also, i tried shorting pins method to enter EDL, in unofficial service store, that didnt help too.
My phone has a different problem.
Does anyone know how to fix my phone, would motherboard replacement help? (Its hard to find them too).
Official Xiaomi service in EU cant fix my phone because of Chinese IMEI, they dont have support for it.
Selling phone for parts doesnt work too, because no one wants to sink money into new expensive phone.

When you do that, MiFlash asks you for authorized account. You cant flash alone using MiFlash if the bootloader is locked.

Thanks, i have some friend travelling from my country to China now and then so i will see what i can do.
Can you explain what exactly you've done?
from what you said I understand that you've flashed a different rom and locked boot loader. and now it is stuck in bootloop and fastboot. is that correct?
as long as you can go to fastboot. have you tried to unlock bootloader again your official unlock tool? happened with me and it worked, once unlocked bootloop stopped and device ran into system straight away. as simple as that. and yes, with non official rom installed and locked bootloader.
if you can explain to us a bit more from the beginning that would be more helpful.

How To Guide [GUIDE] [RUI3] Unlock bootloader on RealmeUI 3 with deep testing.

It is now possible to unlock bootloader using the in-depth deep testing app, however it will only work on Thailand firmware, so we are going to flash the Thailand firmware and use the in-depth app on it.
Links:
MTKClient: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13KohUUeuzVoGKxVWIuLDZx11PV8EeMBj/view?usp=sharing

MTK Drivers: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UExJQxI1DmBGeDoYPul5YTXitOnsU6zx/view?usp=sharing
Thailand Firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/192KboBbW1eXzb6DWVlGAkGE-PEcgnHBJ/view?usp=sharing
Deep Testing APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pESMmJef6Gm9YlJAE7OA_DDNnhFn3Jpz/view?usp=sharing
Libusb port filter: https://sourceforge.net/projects/li...ibusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.6.0.exe/download
Flashing Thailand firmware:​We are going to flash this in SP flash tool, first, let's setup MTK authorization bypass (if you have already setup python and drivers then skip this)
Install python from https://www.python.org/downloads/ and make sure it's configured
Go to the Driver folder, right click cdc.acm.inf and install it.

}
Install libusb port filter, afterwards click Next and hold volume up and down button, then choose MediaTek USB Port.
Now click install, next install UsbDK from here: https://github.com/daynix/UsbDk/releases/
Once you have done that, open a CMD/Powershell in the directory of MTKClient, write pip3 install -r requirements.txt and python mtk payload, hold the volume up and down button and plug the device in
If everything went well, you should be seeing this:
Now open SP Flash tool, go to Options > Option
Now go to Connection and select UART, set the baud rate to 921600
Now, open the scatter file (MT6785_Android_scatter.txt) from the directory of the firmware, it should load the firmware
Unselect opporeserve2 and click the Download button, it should start flashing
Once it is done flashing, you should see this:
Don't forget to reboot the device into recovery mode (volume down + power) and format data.
Updating to RealmeUI 3:​Since it is not possible to use the deep testing app on RealmeUI 2, you must update to RealmeUI 3, simply update it from the update app in settings, if you do not get the update, we can't do anything about it.
No need, replaced firmware link with RealmeUI 3 Thailand firmware, just flash that and use the in-depth app in the guide!
Using the deep testing app and unlocking the bootloader:​Download and install the deep testing app, tap "Apply Now" and accept the agreement, you should be seeing this now:
Wait 3 to 5 minutes, close the app and reopen again, tap "Query verification status" and you should see this:
This means your device now has unlocked fastboot access, tap "Start deep testing" and the device will reboot to fastboot mode
If you see this, the device is now in fastboot mode, to unlock the bootloader plug the device into a PC and write fastboot flashing unlock in Fastboot/ADB directory, you should see this:
Press the volume up button, the bootloader is now unlocked, congratulations!
NOTE: you can return to any EEA/Indian firmware you were on before and still have the bootloader unlocked.

I tried this method on my primary Realme 8 device (Bangladeshi varaint) and it did worked.
Nice tutorial!
Also a pro tip for recovery mode can't be accessed after changing firmware and device keep rebooting after every 5 mins while stuck in realme bootanimation
download latest platform tools from google's official developer website, go to fastboot mode, enter command "fastboot reboot recovery"
you will be in recovery mode
then format data
your device will boot to OS after that
Does it work on realme UI 3.0 C.09 (bootloader locked)?

It shouldn't matter which firmware you are on right now, as for updating to TH RUI3 firmware it dosen't matter which C.0x it is as long as it's RealmeUI 3.

No. It's not working on RUI3 c.09 version. I've tried on my Bangladeshi 8/128 GB variant. And it got bricked after flashing the Thailand firmware.

I think you misunderstood it. I was asking that can I flash it over my Indian C.09 firmware?

Was the Thailand firmware you attached in the post official??
Cause I got an error while flashing it. It says the firmware is not official.

Stuck on recovery mode text? Then you should erase userdata, metadata and md_udc using mtkclient
And yes, mine is also Bangladeshi 8/128 varaint.
I don't know why after unlocking, entering recovery mode gets difficult. I wish that can be accessed while pressing buttons.
It's like recovery combo turns into fastboot combo
Also Oppo/Realme stock recovery has a problem when magisk is installed. It will bootloop forever when reboot to recovery from magisk and it's pretty hard to get into fastboot mode that moment.
The real fix for that problem is restore stock boot and dm-verity image

Looks like your file got somehow corrupted. You can try downloading ofp file, manually decrypting it and merging multiple super.img using simg2img (super 2 must be Thailand) and setting super download is true from scatter file.

Question Reflashing stock ROM on bootlooping device

Hi.
Bought this phone 4 months ago and it went into a boot loop, where it would only show the battery empty icon. Yesterday, I tried turning it on again and noticed, that it's stuck at the Redmi - Powered by Android" screen. From this screen, I can enter fastboot. See this video:
VID_20230417_194410.mp4
drive.google.com
I've read that there are a couple of options for reflashing this device:
- aks someone with the authorized Xiaomi account to reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)
- put the device somehow into ETL mode and reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)
I've tried contacting someone, who for #1, but they aren't willing to help, for some reason (I'm wiling to pay). For #2, I'd have to open up the device, which I'd like to avoid doing.
Would anybody know of any other options for fixing this?
Thank you in advance!
okay, which version of MIUI are you running?
first get the fastboot rom of the version your phone supports , i recommend the global version fastboot rom , because it works and its stable and u get your updates
download this fastboot rom first
Temporary file download page
miuirom.org
and I will give you the MI flash tool working version at like 6 hours after, Ill post the remaining steps after you download this , btw, you will get a .tgz file , when u download the Rom, thats the one you need

If you can boot into fastboot, then it is already enough.
Now, I suppose your bootloader is still locked
You need to download a MIUI ROM from "EEA", from any trusted website, and remember to download the "Fastboot" ROM to flash it (my favorite is mifirm.net, it downloads faster)
Install MiFlashPro - attached at the end of the thread
Open it up, and you will be greeted with this.
Click on the "Mi Flash" tab, as it is the only one we need.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will be greeted with this window now:
After you have done downloading your ROM, extract it to any place.
If MiFlash does not recognise the directory you have extracted in, move it to C:\. Not any external drive, your main one
Now click on the "select" button box, go to your ROM directory, and simply select its folder
Boot your device into fastboot (PWR + VOL-), click on "refresh" button box and your device serial number should appear on the first line.
Now simply click "flash" and let it do its job for 10 to 15 minutes. It will reboot automatically.
If you dont succeed, please read this thread:
Thread '[GUIDE] UNBRICK YOUR HARD-BRICKED MTK' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-unbrick-your-hard-bricked-mtk.4564029/
You will require BROM and to bypass and to flash via SP Tool.

You have either got confused, or being scammed
Newer MTK devices do not require the opening of the device. I suppose you have been probably confused with a Qualcomm Snapdragon based service, that does require the opening, so you can access EDL mode and flash your phone into life, or someone just put up the Redmi Note 10 5G and is a scam, also, on MTK, you do not need to pay for a authorized Mi account. On MTK, it is easily bypassable due to BROM
Thank you both.
I put ran MiFlashPro, pointed it towards the downloaded eea stock rom file and attempted to flash it, but got this error message:
So I presume this is due to locked bootloader? I'll try to follow the second link.
I actually managed to enter recovery mode and do a factory reset. Currently setting it up and plan on updating it.

Good to hear you got sorted. I basically bricked my phone last week (only 3 weeks old ) after trying to switch from MIUI 13 Global to EEA. I managed to get it into BROM mode and used MTK Auth Bypass which allowed me to use Chimera Tools to flash the phone again as nothing else seems to work with a locked bootloader. Currently running MIUI 14 with root and magisk optimisations (blur/high end tweaks, MIUI monet etc) and loving it! Just need a way to bypass Play Integrity API for Google Wallet
