bricked my Mi 8

Hey guys I've run into an issuei bought a Mi 8 off swappa two weeks ago I've been using it and it's been absolutely amazing I love it but a few days ago global miui 9 came out and they phone came bootloader unlocked so I figured I'd flash the firmware and then lock the bootloader I flashed the firmware through Miuitool it worked fine I set it up and then went to lock the bootloader using the same tool I did it and then it started to boot but detected no os anymore so it was bootlooping. I can only access the recovery and fastboot mode I tried wiping didn't work I tried flash the firmware using miflash tool and manually doing the commands also tried getting into edl mode but says it's locked. I tried calling support but they told me they didn't do phone repairs and to call the manufacturer of which I bought it from (swappa) I'm kinda losing hope I'm not sure what to do I've tried so much maybe I'm missing something. If anyone has any suggestions I would love that thanks and here's what my recovery says if that helps

Did you try to flash twrp with fastboot and then from twrp flash the new rom?

I did not but I doubt I could because the bootloader is locked

Had you try flashing it with Deep Flash Cable?

Mi 8 Fastboot ROM can be downloaded here:

To resurrect the phone, you will need a MI account with authorized access to the EDL. Look at the topic of Redmi 5 as they resurrect bricks. On our forum, several MI 8 & MI 8 SE have already been resurrected in this way.

thanks for the suggestions guys I was thinking before getting super technical opening up my phone and modding a cable to let you guys know of an update. Last night I stayed up a while i found adb flash tool for recovery mode to flash back to official software (http://www.xiaomitool.com/adb) I downloaded both global and both china otas of stable and beta. First i flashed global successfully but forgot that going from china to global requires unlock boot loader to boot up so it did not boot next I tried china stable but the file is an older version and did not flash since it was "downgrading" and last I tried china beta which was newer in theory but did not flash since it was not stable. So i am going to wait for a new china stable rom to come out whenever it does because in theory it will flash correctly and completely fix the phone because its china miui thats newer than the one global version now i can only wonder if it can flash because i will be going from global to china but again I will let you guys know when i attempt it, I understand I will be waiting a while for a stable version those dont come often but in the meantime i can focus on other things and thankfully i have multiple back up phones. thanks guys

Theoretically and my previous experience with Nexus phone, older version of official ROM should be fine as it should get OTA to latest version. So, I think it is worth a try.
At the same time, I'm still patiently waiting for my 1st Mi 8 to arrive at door step.

I agree with you and I used to own a nexus too so I understand what your saying but I tried flashing miui 9 china stable and the error said it was an older version and it was "illegal to downgrade" which is weird so I'll just wait for an updated version which might take a while

Never lock a boatloader with aftermarket global on a China Xiaomi.
I think because of the flashing the bootloader is locked again, maybe try to unlock it with miui unlock.
Maby Xiaomi enable the anti roll back also for the Mi 8 after they did it to the Xiaomi redmi note 5 whyred? Many people have ended up with bricked phones.
Edit
Same problem solution is unlock boatloader
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi-8-safetynet-android-pay-and-related-issues.45286/

I faced the same problem with my Mi 8 when I locked the bootloader after installing Global ROM. Simply put your phone in Fastboot, and again Unlock the Bootloader using Xiaomi official Unlock tool. Once bootloader was unlocked, phone booted normally with Global ROM.

Hello, I have blocked bootloader and now I am with the bootloader loop.
I've tried to unlock again from console and from the Xiaomi tool, but it has not been possible. The tool says that the device is not associated. Any solution to this?
I have also tried from Recovery (With MiFlash) to put the stable Chinese version, but having a higher version installed does not leave me.
If I re-flash the same version, it completes it but when restarting, the loop returns.
Any solution?

Hi I have the same problem but now I have a new and BIG new problem...
When I try to unlock the bootloader with my account the software said me that my account is not bounded in this device... cry cry cry!!!
Somebody knows if it is normal and if I will fixed?
BR

The mi unlock tool problems are mainly because of either it's not verified with your account or because before it bricked you forgot to go to development settings and add your phone for unlock which I forgot to so whenever I try to unlock it again it says it isn't verified because I'm a moron and forgot to add my Mi8 to my account in case something like this happened, now I gotta wait for a stable newer miui 9 China version to flash from the adb software

Any news on how to solve the brick?
The perfect solution would be to have access to an account with EDL permissions to re-unlock the bootloader.

When you have any update on this, please let me know I have the same issue and did same mistake.
Let me know if you were able to un-brick it.
Looking fwd to see an update from you.

This. Is. F****d. Up. Someone needs to say it. They do totally crazy things and we saw too many bricks coming from their unexplained tinkering with ARB and locking. Additionally, their each new flagship gets always one step closer to the prices of better competition. We are getting too screwed and we desperately need a new, reasonably priced and logical brand. Nokia? Wouldn't say so. Essential? US only and seems to close down. OnePlus? Getting costlier. Google? Got really costly. **** happened. Really, sorry for OT, but my empathy and sociological thinking just hurts me when I see this.

Yeah, I thought I was the only one thinking like this.
Companies want as much money as possible. Oneplus is increasing prices not because the components cost more but because they waste money on ads and want more profit. And they pull it off because people will still buy their phones.
Honestly, the Mi 8 is a " flagship killer-killer",it provides almost the same stuff as the OP6 for less money but people either never heard of Xiaomi or are hesitant when it comes to buying their phones ( I don't understand why, though ) .
As for their phones dying, I only saw bricks from people who tried tinkering with deep level stuff without actually knowing what they were playing with.
They don't suddenly die/lose basic functions out of the blue like e.g. Moto phones and I don't know of a single device which beats them at this price along with what you get in a phone.

Just let me tell that you can do the **** even actually knowing what you are playing with. You just need to forget to change the "clean all and lock" option which comes selected by default. And believe me, it's not that difficult at 3 a.m. after some successful flashes.
I think it's not necessary to dive into the hurt, you know.

There is a need for that. This is an expensive toy and you shouldn't be playing with it if you are not 100% that you can undo the thing you will do if it goes wrong ( you are free to do it but then at least try to find a solution yourself ) .
After seeing posts which are pretty much like " uwu I made a f*cking boo boo, a weal f*cky wucky, pweese help me guys ;((((( " ( which could've been avoided by following some logic or by actually investigating before flashing stuff ) , it's high time people who are thinking about unlocking the bootloader actually see what they might be getting into if they "touch wrong things in the wrong way".

Phone doesnt register z axis gyroscope reading - compass spins erratically

Hey!
Ive been noticing an issue with my device, since I think the update to MIUI 11 (but not sure).
Description:
- The compass (and other apps using compass like Google maps) gives incorrect readings, when put horizontally. When put horizontally and kept still, the compass will spin regularly ca 2 degrees per second completely independent from the actual pointing direction. When the phone is kept vertically the compass works normally. I have made a video displaying the correct reading when vertically, and the spinning when kept horizontally: https://youtu.be/xgC4fHqH4Ys
- When checking the underlying gyroscope functionality with "Sensor Multitool", I have come across what I think is an erratic z axis reading. When I spin the phone randomly, the gyroscope in the x and y axis registers adequate readings, but the z axis stays completely flat. I have produced a video showing this behavior: https://youtu.be/1dY_xdF5Nz8
I have found this thread from Aliosa007 ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3972249 ) that describes a very similar issue, but this user had recently flashed a new rom and the problem is attributed with the flashing. The users there assume the issue being a corrupt persist.img and most problem solving techniques involve flashing etc. But my phone is locked and not rooted. Could I also have received a corrupt persist.img during the normal update process recently to MIUI 11.
Currently trying to figure out, what the best way forward is. Wait and hope that this will be fixed with the next update or go the warranty route?
Thanks for helping me out with this one!

Hi.
I'm sorry I won't be very useful since I'm just having the exact same problem as you and don't know how to solve it... My phone isn't flashed either and my compass spins continuously.
I just wanted to know if you found a solution since your original post.
I also wanted to know if you tried factory resetting your phone ? I was thinking about trying that but if you already did and it didn't solve the issue, maybe I won't bother...
Thanks in advance.

Hey Tistou, thanks for your message. I haven't found a solution to the issue yet, unfortunately.
I tried factory resetting the phone but that didn't solve it. Did this problem just occur one day - or was it after you updated the phone? In my case Im not 100% sure it began after the updated and if it didn't, it could be an indication for a hardware issue.
I will keep this thread up to date in case I find a solution to the issue. But at the moment, I am out of ideas. I thought about flashing the phone with an alternative ROM and replace the persist.img. But currently the assumed risk/benefit keep me up from doing that. I'd assume sending Xiaomi feedback on that issue
Best,

Hey,
well I couldn't really tell if it's related to an update : I got my mi 9T pro like two or three weeks ago and updated to 11.0.3 the day I got it...
The weird thing is that I noticed the problem one first time, and then two or three days later the issue solved itself without me doing anything particular and my compass started working normally again... And then two or three days ago it started spinning continuously again... I just hope it's software related and not an hardware issue...
I think I'm just going to wait for the next system update and if doesn't solve the problem I may send the phone back (but I don't wanna ... The phone otherwise is so great...).
I'll update the thread if I find something.
Good luck

Hi there, I had a similar problem a while ago when going from custom rom Android 10 back to miui 10 Android 9. Pop up camera and gyro sensors wouldn't work so no auto rotate either. Simple fix was to flash the persist img in custom recovery, then go into stock camera app and it'll ask to calibrate, after than everything worked fine. This should work for you and everyone else with this problem hopefully.
Flashing persist won't wipe any of your data so don't worries there. I'll see if I can find the file I have it somewhere and I'll send the link.
So really the only way to fix this is to have compatible custom recovery with persist partition, flash the persist.img, but since you have a locked bootloader and stock recovery I don't think you have any options to fix this unfortunately, maybe fastboot rom through miflash? That didn't work for me but it might work for you.

Thank you so much for your response! That keeps my hopes up that I get it solved eventually.
I am currently not planning to unlock my bootloader, I am currently exploring to go the warranty route because that's the easiest way forward. But in case that won't work, I will definitely try to flash the persist.img. I will have to try to get my hands on the persist.img file!
Thanks again!

persist.img is in the fastboot rom, so if you download that and extract you can get the img. You should be able to flash it thru fastboot using adb on PC with the command 'fastboot flash persist persist.img'. no need to unlock bootloader
I'm not gonna be near my PC for a while so won't be able to upload it for you

Sorry sir, but i think you cannot flash persist.img thru fastboot, because it read-only partition ,

I read several times that it must be flashed with twrp (dunno what that means)... But I also read that it makes you lose L1 widevine (dunno what that means either). Could someone enlighten me ?
And do you think the next MIUI update could fix that ?

Not an expert on the matter. But a peripheral knowledge of the matter.
It appears to me that you are new to the matter. So I will use easy language.
TWRP is a so called "custom recovery" for Android that allows users to basically change the underlying firmware/system software (a process often referred to as "flashing") of the device. It is basically the entry point towards conveniently changing system files, that Android normally forbids you to change. To install a costum recovery, the bootloader of the phone has to be unlocked, so that the device can boot into the custom recovery instead of the OS directly. https://www.quora.com/What-is-TWRP-Why-is-it-used?share=1
Widevine L1 is a software part within Android that basically authenticates, that the device at hand is allowed to handle media files that are DRM protected (eg. within Netflix). When Android has been changed from the default configuration (by flashing a custom rom), the software part should revoke the authorization or restrict it. This behavior depends I think on the capability of the custom rom to trick widevine into believing that its genuine.(not so sure about that)
https://www.androidauthority.com/widevine-explained-821935/
Heres hoping that the next update will solve the issue! The issue isnt so dramatic to go the persist.img route. So I will patiently wait for the update. I will keep the thread updated.

Unlock carrier locked bootloader Pixel [BETA]

UPDATE AS OF 16 OF MAY 2023
This project isn't working right now, but I am still working on it.
However due the complicated nature of the projects and the fact that I have little free time means this project will probably still take time to get to functional state.
If anyone has any idea please contact me, any hell is welcome!
______________________________________________________
Hi!
So I decided I wanted to flash custom software into my phone, but it's bootloader was locked so I figure a way to unlock it!
I am going to leave 2 methods:
1. It's the most risky but has more chance of working. The idea is to flash the whole firmware again to the phone, but from an unlocked model.
This is posible using the EDL mode and Sahara protocol.
The EDL mode is an emergency mode which allows user to flash firmware in case fastboot and ADB fails. It's also available in all Qualcomm devices.
It is also completly independent from the rest of the phone, and it's the first bootloader we have. If everything is ok it triggers the second bootloader(fastboot) which then boots the system(See the diagram if you want).
As we want to reflash the firmware keep in mind this could brick your phone and I won't take any resposability if it happen
Materials:
-QPST
-Qualcomm Driver
-Working USB Cable
-Fastboot and ADB set up and working
-knoledge on using ADB
Procedure:
1. Download and install Qualcomm drivers
2. Download and install QPST
4.Downlaod the MBN file
3. Reboot
4. Connect the phone to the PC, then open cmd and run "adb reboot edl".
If you are on fastboot mode, then try "fastboot oem edl", "fastboot reboot-edl", "fastboot reboot edl". One of this should work
5. Go to C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\
6.Open QPST Config(it's a blue phone, see picture)
7. Click on "Start clients" and then "Software download". A new window should open
8. Now we need to select the phone image using the browser button
9. Click on start to flash ⚡️
Please be aware the method wasn't tested, so this could brick your phone.
If you decide to try it, and have questions or ru into problems during the process, please let me know.
Also remember to take a backup of your data, as it is goig to be lost. ℹ
____________________________________________________________________________
As for the second method, I tried it and it didn't work for me, but is completly safe so you may want to give it a try.
1. Enrrol on the android 12 beta program, AND MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA
2. Install the update
3. Now exit from the beta program
4. Now you should have an update, it's a rollback to the stable version of android 12. After you installed the update the phone will restart and factory reset.
5. Do the setup as normal
In the end you may have unlocked the bootloader, to check just go to developer options and check if it is enabled or not.

Can we get a video of how to do this?

MOD Edit: Same problem, can't solve it.

Looks like this is a common issue, I will look the documentation of QPST and see if I see the cause of the problem. Thank you guys for helping up this project

So I found that that version of QPST is outdated(it's the 2.7 build 140 and the latest version is 2.7 build 460). I am leaving a zip with it here.
Try and see if this time around we manage to unlock the bootloader

MOD EDIT:
This is the latest version
这是最新版本

#mcl, I have the same problem as you have, I live in Portugal and bought a used Pixel 4 but apparently it's origin is the US, Verizon. From your original post I take it that you didn't try this method yourself and hope others will try? Or were you successful?

for anyone in the same situation, read this thread: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...ed-against-physical-tampering-in-google-pixel
My guess is: if your pixel's " OEM unlocking " is greyed out it will not be possible to unlock. Although I didn't try the EDL route I'm quit sure that at some point you will get a message "bootloader is locked"

Hey I am quite busy recently so I haven't really had time to look more on the thread, though I believe there will always be a way, it may be hard to find but no OS is perfect, and Android is no exception. As it turns out, even if this method worked, when it connect to the internet there will be a high chance that using the IMEI of the phone it will "remember" it's a locked model and won't allow you to flash new firmware.
However I am working on a new method, which is also safer, though I have still work to do, so when It is ready I am going to publish another guide.
Good luck all untill them

Hi mcl, my problem is: I do like to change OS and I did so on my previous HTC M7 and M10. And these 2 phones still function with PixelExperience 10 or 11.
But at best I'm a simple layman with a lot of enthusiasm.
Anyway, I will keep an eye on this thread and hopefully you will find time to make this new method work!
By the way, I see that we are "neighbors", I live in Portugal.

Hahah yeah we are definitely neighbors.
Well I do want to become a software engineer though right now I am just a busy enthusiastic.
I also really enjoy custom OS, when I had my Galaxy S9 I used to have custom ROMs.

Question Bricked OP 10 Pro - Help

Hello All,
I managed to brick my OP 10 Pro
It happened when I locked the bootloader before uninstalling Magisk.
I am now in a forever bootloop, see video:
Your browser is not able to display this video.
It will not boot into fastboot for love nor money.
There is no time for adb to load into fastboot as it is constantly resetting.
If I hold all three buttons when it is not connected to anything, it does nothing.
If I hold all three buttons while the phone is connected to the computer, it goes into EDL mode and Qualcomm drivers appear in the device manager, but it still fails to shows as 'adb devices' or 'fastboot devices'
I dont know what to do.
Help :-/

Hello All,
I managed to brick my OP 10 Pro
It happened when I locked the bootloader before uninstalling Magisk.
I am now in a forever bootloop, see video:

Need msm

Theres no msm tool yet you have to wait for it

Is there anyone that had a look on Baido ?I tried everything under the sun.
I downloaded this from mega which has the full firmware files
https://mega.nz/folder/vMYSxBgI#LJXkyX-Ue9a4iFZPQmc80w
The closest I got was downloading the QFIL to flash it in EDL mode, but I couldnt get it to work...

I once took a bricked OP6 (hardly a month old) to service center. They fixed it, no questions asked.

I guess times are tough. GSMMAFIA steals OP software and sells it to you.

Considering there's a thred in this forum exactly for that...

The same thing happened to me on my NE2215...
Told OPO support it was the latest update that did it.. they are offering to repair it, still under warranty, for free.
from what I hear it can take 3weeks to 3 months to get it back.
Need a MSM tool
How I happened to me...
i wanted to get the latest OTA, so I removed Magisk, changes boo.img back to stock, reset the phone, and then when to turn flashing off (lock the bootloader)
on the rest step of Locking the bootloader back, is when it looped into this as well....

I know this isnt helpful right now, but NEVER re-lock your bootloader. I've seen far too many people brick their ****. Why unlock it to begin with? When you relock the bootloader, anything that's not signed will not boot. I hope you get your phone fixed. Good luck to you bud

can you please tell me your mobile after hard brick have a pc connection ? beacause my phone also bricked and totally terned off no button combination no charging no pc connection

Why did you try a super complicated route to update? There is no need to do reboot or lock your bootloader after restoring (not removing) magisk in order to do the ota update.

Best solution: throw your phone in trash, also boycott OppoPlus and don't buy from BugPlus anymore
F*ck OnePlus !!

Everyone listen to the google logo user. Oppo is hostile to rom developers and releases broken source code and restricts msm. They're just the apple of android products nowadays

Question Need help Mi11 "your System has been Destroyed" Messeage

Hello everyone, im new to this Forum.
I need to ask if someone can help me. I remember using the cleaning Tool on my Mi11 on the Bus and seconds after closing the App the Phone suddenly Turned off & after Turning it back on it just displayed the Message
"your System has been destroyed" and constantly bootlooping.
Recovery Mode was not working, i can only get into fastboot Mode.
I tried flashing new Firmware with the tools provided by Xiaomi but they always tell me to unlock the bootloader wich i havent done and now i cant cause i cant get into the Phone.
I also tried unlocking the Bootloader with MiFlash Unlock but it tells me to add my account in the MIUI Developer Options..
I then contacted some Xiaomi unlocking Service and pay him 30€ to unlock my Phone in a teamviewer Session via AvatarAuthTool and some other stuff but even he was not able to do it.
I removed the backplate from the Phone and shortened the testpoint pins and he tried again with no luck..
i have no Idea how to get this Phone usable again and im desperatly looking for any help or advice bcuz im currently rocking my old Sony Erricson Walkman Phone..
thanks in advance for anyone who is taking the time to read all this and trying to help

You didn't mention if it's still on warranty and whether you can get it repaired from there?
You don't need to unlock the bootloader if you're using the right firmware for your variant.
Do you happen to remember whether it was EEA, MI, IN or etc version for your device?

I dont think i still have warranty cause i bought it as used from a friend, How do i find the correct Firmware as you say i dont need to unlock anything i might have tried with the wrong version. Also i believe its a global version.

No worries. You will have to try a couple of fastboot firmwares.
For each of them, you need to use the latest MiFlash Tool and make sure that CLEAN ALL only option is selected.
One thing to note here is that once you select the firmware folder in MiFlash, it automatically switches to Clean All and Lock
So you better make sure to look well and switch to CLEAN ALL only again before you hit the Flash button.

I couldn't find the latest fastboot version for China. Make sure you download fastboot versions for all of these and try one by one. At least one of these have to work for your bootloader.
If these don't work then we could try Indonesia, Turkey, Taiwan and Russia firmwares. No way none of them works.
Edit: Idk how it selected Bold but nvm. Also, these steps will wipe all data on phone. Will be like a factory reset.

Give this a try first, who knows it might work lol.
