How To Guide [GUIDE] UNBRICK YOUR HARD-BRICKED MTK - POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 5G

MIFLASHPRO PROCEDURE​
The MiFlashPro procedure is easier (and the easiest to recover your hard-bricked device), as you do not require the installation of any other external program (like python used in MTK Client for example (expect, of course, the drivers)
MTK Client is a more complicated installation as it requires the installation of Python and Git, which can be harder to use commands for people that don't or never used Python and Git, but gives you access to lock and unlock your bootloader with no 168 HOURS wait
In general, newer MTK chips are really easy to unbrick, even from a hard-brick, as it does not requires to open your phone and test-point it (especially this forum MTK 6833), compared to Snapdragon chips, which is the opposite and even costs 25€ to have a "Authorized Mi EDL Account". Keeping that out of the way, lets get to it
FIRST OF ALL​Install the MTK Preload/BROM VCOM drivers for your computer to recognise your phone in BROM state and follow the instructions given in the installation. Attached at the end of the thread
And download any MIUI ROM version from any trusted website (my favorite is mifirm.net, it downloads faster)
INSTALL MIFLASHPRO Attached at the end of the thread​There's two different Mi Flash(es). Mi Flash and Mi Flash Pro.
Mi Flash is only used to flash MIUI in your device, nothing special, probably everyone knows about it.
Then theres Mi Flash Pro (MFP for short). It's an All-In-One (AIO) tool, as shown below.

We got the some tabs, but let's focus on the "Recovery" and "SP Flash" tabs, as we do not need the other ones.
Recovery - Recovery flashing. If your device is only booting to Recovery (which can be possible, since someone here has got a case that couldn't boot to fastboot neither system, only to recovery), by writing both your device IMEI's on the spaces, then clicking "Refurbish" leads to a more advanced factory reset than just wiping your data normally. This can get you out of recovery and go back to MIUI however. If it's not your problem, then follow on.
SP Flash - The famous SP Tool. SP Tool is a easy tool to use, may be confusing at first, but then first time a charm and you can get used to it, easily, or after some times. SP Tool is famous for recovering many MTK devices from hard bricks, and thats what we will use to recover your device.
OPEN SP FLASH UP​
Here you are, greeted by a nice interface. There's nothing, but I will explain you to it.
There's 3 blank spaces, called Download-agent (DA for short), Scatter-loading file & Authentication file.
DA is to have access to the devices internal storage to be able to do the flashing;
Scatter-loading shows you the mapping of the partitions it will flash on the MTK;
Authentication is just the MTK protection for newer mtk devices that you need to be able to flash (*its also used to successfully flash, but you still need to bypass it somehow, as you require a Mi Account able to do BROM flashing, see below as you follow the thread)
Now, fill the blanks up:
To find the DA, it is always in the MiFlashPro installation location, so ...\MiFlashPro\. Access that folder, open up "\SP_Flash_Tool_V5" folder, and you will find a file named "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin", use it as the DA.
To find the authentication file, its located in the same path of the DA, so ...\MiFlashPro\SP_Flash_Tool_V5\, and you will find a file named "auth_sv5.auth", use it as the authentication file.
Finally, to find the scatter-loading file, it is in the ROM folder you extracted, so ...\camellian_xx_xxxx_images_VXX.X.X.X.xxxxx_XXXXXXXX.XXXX.XX_XX.X_xxxxxl\ (the X's represent your MIUI version you downloaded). The scatter-loading file is always located in the folder "images", so \camellian...\images\, and you will find a text file named "MT6833_Android_scatter.txt", use it as the scatter-loading file.
Done?
Don't flash it yet, as we need to fix a issue with "combo_partisize_check".
Open up the scatter-loading file with Notepad or any text editor, so the text file named "MT6833_Android_scatter.txt".
Now, use the locate function to locate the following:
combo_partsize_check: true
After finding the first one, replace the "true" to "false", and the following one, and so on, till every line of them is set to "false" and isn't able to locate any set as "true".
We are done and finished setting up SP Tool!​*Now, we need to bypass the Authentication of our device. Why? Just as the Snapdragon chips, Xiaomi has also implemented a security layer where you need to log in with a "Authorized Mi Flashing Account", which costs money (generally only on Snapdragon devices, I am not sure if we can find any paying service for it), which is really easy to bypass due to BROM.
Download the file "mtkauthbypass.zip" attached in the thread below.
Extract it, open it up, and it looks like this:
Now, press the "Disable Auth" button, you will have 60 seconds to get ready, get your hands on the phone and press at the same time the VOL+, VOL- & POWER button, till you see prompt appearing in the blank space. Should be similiar as this:
(thanks to chopwell20 for image)
After that, immediately open up SP Tool, and press "Download" as fast as possible.
Let it flash, from 5 to 15 minutes.
After it finishes, a blue window with a checkmark appears, disconnect your phone, and just press down the POWER button to boot it up.
And thats it! You have recovered your phone!​If you have any issues or it didn't work out, please reply so someone can help you out
(Simplified image to understand better without explanation)
ISSUES​CONNECTIONS ISSUE is completely normal!
It is when you try to connect your phone in BROM mode to your computer, but it always shows the error symbol over it.
From what it seems, this should be a issue from the phone and not your computer or the drivers itself
It doesn't mean that it makes you unable to unbrick it, but a lot of patience, as with this issue you will require to keep trying over and over again to bypass it.
So, if you can't bypass the Auth, this is probably it. Just keep trying and trying over again till you get it. There's (probably) no workaround rather than having patience to do it
(This also happens to me every time, so I consider it normal, and with some users such as bg0169 having this same issue, I just considered this was important to address it out, but if you think its not this issue, then reply, better safe than sorry)
I made this thread due to some users bricking their devices, and for every new user that hard-bricks their device to hopefully make this to help them

Amazing guide.
Thanks. and missing screenshot where Authbypass gives you prompt.

SP Flash Tool gives error on "gz.img, rescue.img and cust.img" because verified boot is enabled.
Is it possible to bypass it? or how do i disable verified boot without fastboot access? is my device completely dead?

yes, it is bypassable.
you just go to the mapping, and disable the checks on those partitions. it will still boot normally, afterwards, if you want (which is not necessary), you can reflash your phone via fastboot and miflash for those partitions to be flashed correctly

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, my phone won't boot when i exclude those images. No vibration, no black screen and no fastboot/recovery.
The another bypass method which requires using readback also doesn't work. I think it's probably because mt6833 is a newer chipset compared to the ones used in tutorials.
Any other advices please? I really don't want to pay money just to use MIUI again.

Could you give me more details about the another bypass? I dont understand what do you mean.
If that did not work, then I suppose your bootloader is locked
Please download the engineering ROM > https://mifirm.net/model/camellian.ttt#files;
and flash it via SP Tool like you did to MIUI, then boot to fastboot and flash an EEA image > https://mifirm.net/model/camellian.ttt#eea (if i am correct, EEA images are allowed to be flashed even with locked bootloader.)
If you do get the same verified boot error, disable those partitions to flash once again
If these methods didnt work, you need to install MTK Client to unlock your bootloader and try to reflash via fastboot or SP Tool

My father took my phone and paid to repair it. Well, i guess thats a way to fix things...
Anyway, the other method i was talking about was the one using PGPT image and using Hex editor blah blah blah.
By the way, now my phone works but it seems NVRAM was deleted. My IMEI doesn't show up. Can i recover it without using temporary methods?

I dont know how to recover IMEIs since I always back my NVRAM and write it via MTK Client.
You can try this guide:
Thread '[QUICK GUIDE][HOW TO] Unbrick Camellia/Camellian and restore IMEI' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/quick-guide-how-to-unbrick-camellia-camellian-and-restore-imei.4502077/
Alternatively, which I am not sure, try looking up a IMEI writer program somewhere in the web for MTK

That is weird, are you able to boot into recovery or fastboot?
Did you get any verified boot error?
Did you use the right firmware? If so, what version (MIUI version (Indonesia/EEA/MI, etc.), Android version and Codename)? If you used the latest one (MIUI 14 Android 13) please try MIUI 13 Android 12 or lower

It doesn't work, I think the problem is that the boot mode is bootloader instead of bootrom.

if your phone is displaying the 3 boot modes in the edge, then yes you are in bootloader*
you should restart to any mode, then right as it reboots you shall boot into BROM immediately and redo the same process

I think that when I press the volume up (+), volume down (-), and power buttons on my phone simultaneously, it doesn't seem to recognize any device. However, when I only press the volume up (+) and volume down (-) buttons, it recognizes a MTK Preloader USB VCOM port, and during the process, it seems to attempt to connect twice when "Disable Auth" is enabled. In addition, the BootMode displays as BootLoader

Hello everyone,
I bricked my Z2 Pro and after hours of searching and trying to fix it by flashing stock ROM via EDL I'm desperate so I would be grateful for any help.
My Z2 came with some custom ROM from shop with 1.9 version on it without OTA so I decided to flash it with different ROM. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and SU, but flashing Gedeon ROM via TWRP ended with an error (error code 7 or 11 if I remember correctly). So I decided to flash stock ROM following
this guide.
QFIL recognized the device correctly as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, but I kept receiving this error:
02:20:14: ERROR: function: sahara_rx_data:194 Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes.
02:20:14: ERROR: function: sahara_main:854 Sahara protocol error
02:20:14: ERROR: function: main:265 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed
Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail
So I followed this guide that recommends to use MiFlash instead of QFIL.
After few unsuccessful updates (it wasn't able to open the port) it finally finished downloading the ROM (2.0.057 ST) with this message at the end: The operation completed successfully.(0x00000000: ApplyPatch sector NUM_DISK_SECTORS-1., offset 16, value CRC32(NUM_DISK_SECTORS-1.,92), size 4)
It took about 55s.
However after I unplugged Z2 from the USB cable and hit the power button, nothing happened. Since the update the screen is off, the LED light is off. Even if I hold the power off button for one minute.
When I plugged the phone back, it was still recognized as QDloader 9008, so it is apparently stuck in the EDL mode.
I tried all stock ROMs from here multiple times with the same result. Multiple times with the "successful update" message, but nothing happens.
EDIT: Now, after few tries the of the same process it is not even updating the ROM at all. It says "Open serial port failed" and afterwards "Missing hello packet, try to recover" (I waited about 5 min, but the message didn't change).
Please help
I hope for a solution without the need to unplug the battery, but if it will be necessary, I will do it.
Thank you!

Yes, everything step by step. I even have the same version of QFIL (QPST is build 437 instead of suggested 434 - I suppose that won't be causing any problem). I tried to reboot my PC, different USB ports, reinstall drivers (as I previously had Lenovo USB driver and before the flash I installed the ZUK driver as well as without the ZUK drivers it wasn't recognized as QDLoader).

Zukfans.eu
Btw I'm unable to sign up to zukfans.eu to place my question there as well as. It asks for CAPTCHA verification, however there is no CAPTCHA shown, only the verification question "what zuk have you ?". I filled in there 'ZUK Z2 Pro', copied the question in there etc., used 4 different broswers on 2 devices and networks, no luck. And it is not possible to log in via FB as well.

I was working on it until 4AM last night and today I completely forgot to describe the important part about MiFlash
Please see in the original post.
Thanks for your your reply!

I'm not sure about Miflash. I used QFIL.
Also, I wrote a small tutorial. See if that helps:
http://zukfans.eu/community/threads...rom-zuk-z2-pro-z2121-only.57/page-8#post-7282
If you are unable to use that link. Below is an extract:
"The QFIL zip contained the ROM twice. so you can load the contents.xml from the parent folder or the other folder within the zip too.
Make sure you extract the ROM in a short part i.e. "C:\Z2Pro\
1) Firstly, the tricky part having the tool recognize the qualcomm port.
Solution: Uninstall the tool, USB drivers (i.e. Zuk drivers), any existing qualcomm drivers.
Reboot.
Install Zuk drivers.
Install the tool. (According to the guide, the tool will also install the drivers for qualcomm, but for some reason it did not)
Install the qualcomm drivers.
2) Fortunately, my phone was not bricked. So I could easily get into edl mode using "adb reboot edl"
3) While trying to get this to work, some RELINK driver was installed instead of qualcomm. Uninstall that if you see that.
4) Anyway, back to our troubleshooting. So you would think that you are all set and your qualcomm port should be recognized, but no. It failed to recognize. So try this:
Reboot PC.
Reboot Phone.
5) Now Proceed. Hopefully by now you have see your qualcomm port. Great.
6) This is the trickiest part. You need to click on the "Download Content" "IMMEDIATELY" "AS SOON AS" you hit enter on "adb reboot edl".

7) Yay. You see very nice progress in the little progress section on QFIL. You think you'ved nailed it.. But no, you could again end up getting another error. (Unfortunately I forgot to get a screenshot). Anyway, you would see this multiple times, that the "File access is very slow"; I'm not sure if only I received that error or if it is generic.
8) When you get an error at this point. Try a different port. Luckily, I got it to work on my second attempt on another attempt.
My review on the stock ROM:
Honestly, the custom ROM installed by the seller worked way better for me. This stock ROM had a lot of chinese apps (which of course I can uninstall). But somehow, the custom ROM from the seller felt better. Luckily I had a nandroid backup and I went back to it. The only drawback apart from OTA, being on the latest etc etc is that I cannot use the heartrate sensor (which is no big deal for me).
I guess I'll wait for another AOSP or another custom ROM or probably something with Android N before I upgrade again.
Hope this helps."

Thanks for getting back to me. I remember reading this before, however I cannot apply it to the current situation (but I tried anyway).
However there is an update to share. After some time I was able to go through the full download via MiFlash as before (with the 'successful' message) and moreover, flashing via QFIL finally started to produce something promising, however at the end it showed this message (no change to the state of the phone):
View attachment 131237287087498319.log
Next try showed the same error message as before:
View attachment 131237297946525488.log

SOLVED!
Hallelujah! After many many many tries (just doing the same over and over and over) the stock ROM (2.0.048) was finally uploaded (using QFIL)!
I was trying to hold power off and/or volume buttons while and after connecting to PC just to try different things and maybe that helped as well.
If someone will experience the same issue as me, I have one advice - don't loose your faith, don't give up!
And if you are thinking about flashing via MiFlash, simply just don't.

Glad you got it figured out! Enjoy your Z2 Pro

Hello there, I'm having a similar problem that the owner of this thread had, but the difference is that the adb doesn't detects my device.
I've tried to reinstall all the drivers, and downloaded the Android SDK tools, but still doesn't works...
Any idea about what to do? The device is with the screen in black, no led blinks or anything like that, and when connected to the PC, only detrects the Qualcomm 9008 port...
Thank you in advance.

Now after some research, I found out that the "ADB interface" is not showing in Windows device manager
I tried to install it manually, but can't find a way to get it working, and after the flash, USB debugging was set on, so can't figure out what could be happening...
Is it possible it's completely dead?
Any idea?

Thanks to valuable help from Emmaus and DanRO from zukfans.eu I managed to render my phone operable once more and now it runs flawlessly. This recovery is a life-saver for anyone experiencing bricking or malfunction issues:
https://yadi.sk/d/DfTYl-jz3Cxg76
_The first thing to do is to enter fastboot menu (pressing vol rockers will help)
_Then you will need to unlock bootloader with the dedicated commands:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash unlock unlock_bootloader.img
fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go
For noobs or newcomers: Be informed that you will need the OEM bootloader image from ZUK website through giving your credential and phone's serial number for unlocking, you can see the instructions on the forum or by googling it.
_After unlocking your bootloader you should flash the aforementioned and link-given recovery with the following commands:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery twrp_name.img
(Replace "twrp_name" with the name of the downloaded image and without quotes)
_Once you successfully enter TWRP Recovery menu, you can either flash a TWRP-flashable file or else, by tapping reboot button you can select EDL (9008) option to open 9008 port on QPST for being able to flash any official firmware.
_Check your internal storage on flashing TWRP-flashable ROMs. In my case, after I flashed recovery and then a CM-based ROM (AICP), I saw that the phone had only a 9GB-size as internal storage. If you happen to face the same issue, just flash an official firmware on QPST, as this problem occurs due to bad partitioning, at least that is what it seems.
Ask anything for any further details.
Thanks.

Can't power off....help!
Hi all.
My Z2 Plus is old 4 day! Buyed from Gearbest, i flashed the latest stock CN Firmware with QFIL, unlocked bootloader, installed CN TWRP and flashed GizRom 1.1 from Franck076,
After this, i backupped all from TWRP and flashed Francko76 Global v7 and Mokee Official 7.1.1 for test. To return to normal use, i restored the backup GizChina Rom 1.1 and i rebooted.
DISASTER!
My Zuk Z2 screen is black, no flashing led, it's vibrate every 25/30 seconds andt there's no way that i can power off! I read so many guides to unbrick, but all say that the phone is switched off. In every tested so it continues to vibrate...
Please, help me!

Also I am Now Bricked
When Z2Pro was hung up during QFIL connection with EDL mode, It cannot but wait until battery empty because it does not reaction to the reboot with the VOL PowerBtn's switch either.

Hi all.
My Z2 Plus is old 4 day! Buyed from Gearbest, i flashed the latest stock CN Firmware with QFIL, unlocked bootloader, installed CN TWRP and flashed GizRom 1.1 from Franck076,
After this, i backupped all from TWRP and flashed Francko76 Global v7 and Mokee Official 7.1.1 for test. To return to normal use, i restored the backup GizChina Rom 1.1 and i rebooted.
DISASTER!
My Zuk Z2 screen is black, no flashing led, it's vibrate every 25/30 seconds andt there's no way that i can power off! I read so many guides to unbrick, but all say that the phone is switched off. In every tested so it continues to vibrate...
Please, help me!

Have you figured out a way?

Hi all,
received a Z2 pro, flashed with multi language rom, without OTA upgrades. When sim inserted, there was no connection to the network. After several attempts, i decided to send it back.
Ordered from another shop a new 2 ro, ( i know, very stupid to try twice) and this time, when tried to flash it from multi language rom, with an official one, it was bricked. Deep flash trick and.....
Tried several times to open HS-USB QDloader 9008 and once every 20 times it was a success. But, Sahara error all the time in qfil and hallo packet error in miflash. I'm out of ideas,.... Do you hve any?

Guys,
My ZUK Z2 Pro (bootloader unlocked) after finish loading the entire system (android) and appear the home screen, it reboots itself. When its boot it connected to PC, it does not reboot and after 5s I can remove cable and use it without problems. If the cable is in charge adapter, it also has the same problem.
Summary: I always need to turn on it connected in PC (with drivers installed) and wait 5s after finished loading all OS + startup APPs to not reboot alone. I install TWRP for good but no change to install custom ROM as it comes in loop after loading bootloader. Only ROMs that are stock, installed using QFIL works.
Do you have any idea?
Btw: I was using Mokee Rom without problems but after starting somes Frameworks apps te rom bricked out.

No 9008
Hello, i am new here and posted a reply in a different place. I think the wrong thread, so i will write here too.
I have a Zuk Z2 Pro. Unlocked bootloader, TWRP (twrp-3.2.1-0-z2_row.img) and installed several roms to try out. Then i read about a new ZUI and wanted to flash it. But, i made a mistake and now my phone is bricked. I read all about unbricking and flashing wit QFIL, but (and like others) my pc does not recognize my phone anymore. I can not work with adb (windows commands) and in QFIL i can not get the needed 9008 port. I installed all the needed stuff, but nothing.
Can someone help me out please. I already followed all the stept in some tutorials, but i get stuck with this 9008, which will not appear.
Phone does not start up. Recovery is gone, only menu with fastboot, recovery etc. is there. And the ZUI screen (from the rom i wanted to install) but the screen does not respond anymore, so i can not begin with setting the phone.
Is there a solution so i can flash with QFIL?
Or another solution?
Thanks,
Alex
Update 18-03-2018
This worked for me to get the needed 9008 port for flashing with QFIL:
- Open QFIL
- Phone must be off
- Connect usb cable to pc (not to phone yet)
- press volume up + power button and immediately connect usb cable to phone
- phone will vibrate 3 time (screen stays black/off)
- pc recognizes phone (there is this familiar sound of your pc)
- In QFIL you wil see port 9008
- just flash and wait till it's done
Off course you must have drivers etc installed on your pc, all the needed stuff for flashing. Don't forget to charge you phone.

I bricked my lenovo z2 plus, it is not booting to ROM or fastboot, it only vibrates after I hold the power button, and keeps vibrating every 10 sec, can anybody help me??

Became interested in this phone since I found a 6/128 model for 160$. If fastboot is failing (maybe because of the different partition size?) I'd go with SPFlashTool: if I remember well phone only need to be swithed off when you start downloading the image, therefore it goes well with bootloping if you choose the right moment

That's exactly what I'm saying: SPFlashTool doesn't require your phone to be in fastboot mode, only to be switched of when you plug it in. I had the same problem with an Archos Sense 55S after treying to root it. I wasn't able to enter neither fastboot or recovery mode, therefore I flashed the stock rom with SPFT

Which model are you using, the 6/64 or the 6/128?
For the former you can use a TWRP Backup done by @dreambo in order to restore at least the boot and and recovery partition

Hi ttl1982, before giving an answer I should know what are we talking about. Is it the same phone? And which version? What is the current situation (bootlooping into TWRP, bootlooping into Android)? Even assuming we're still talking about the Maze Alpha X, there are still too much variables!

I have Maze Alpha X 6/64 model. If “bootloader mode” doesnt open how can i install ‘twrp’ ? About Thread article i read everything but my only problem is my phone dont open “bootloader mode”. And only solution is stock rom i think than you need SPFlashTool to install it. Maybe you know better than me how can i install “twrp” without opening “bootloader mode” ? I wrote above why this happened.
I click Power and Vol+ buttons as i show in the video phone turn of but doesn’t open “bootloader mode”

No, even in the case you just want to boot into TWRP (and be able to use one of the backups provided in that post) you need to access fastboot mode. during bootlooping does your PC find the device with the "adb devices" command (namely, as soon as your phone boots up you'd spam this command via terminal)?

Hi, Thanks for your quick response. I will share some more info like you asked.
- Phone: Maze Alpha X
- Version: 6GB RAM/128GB Storage
- Current situation: It won't start at all (when connected to Windows PC i get the 'USB device not recognized' error, so it does see something)
My idea is the following:
- Install recovery with SPK flashtool
- Restore with backup (i have this from another thread) or the system dump.
The above does not work because i do not have the correct preloader file (so SPK flash tool does recognize the phone?).
ADB is not recognizing the phone, so it can't be done that way (as far as my knowledge goes).
I asked Maze several times to provide me the original rom but i get zero response, no matter on what channel i ask them.

Yes I was thinking the same. Eventually you do not need to install the recovery, restoring the bootloader should be enough: if the bootloader is already unlocked you can just boot into TWRP and from there restoring the backup previously copied into a SD card.

Well AFAIK Maze is completely done, no surprise if they do not answer. I'm reasonably sure that there's a way to dump these files from a working phone, if I'm right I'll try with mine

I have all the files needed to setup sp flash and try to put again the Rom in the phone, which is now not unlocked and no usb debugging on.
Can someone please give me a tutorial on how to use those files? My phone still not recognised in sp flash com port, I don't know how to do.
If anyone will help me it will be so appreciated, thanks!

If you need to disable authorisation, did you run the MTK Auth Bypass tool and get the message "Protection disabled"? That's what I had to do before SP Flash Tool would flash the phone (without disconnecting it or rebooting), and I also had to set the baud rate to 921600, although that was all under Linux, and the phone was still unlocked.

it's complicated. with phone locked fastboot commands don't work. with my hold mi a3 fastboot flashing unlock command work. but with miui and mtk chipset probably it's useless. but u can try. if u boot into bootloader with mediatek driver the pc should recognize your phone also if it's blocked

1: Unzip this attached file into a folder. run it.
2: select the unlock bootloader and start, then connect you phone via usb with all three buttons pressed. (Phone must be off before connect, )

1. Check your device driver for USB, suggest you re-install the MTK usb driver.
2. First run the program, select the Auth by pass then press start.
3. Make sure phone is in "power off" state, press Vol+, Vol- and power (all three at the same time), and don't release it, plug in USB cable and wait.... Don't release these three buttons until it is Auth by pass OK.
During this process, take a look at device manager, there must be one item like portable device - USB ( Com 3). keep flashing.

sure u add reinstall mtk driver

Tried many drivers, always same result:
Driver says the device can't start. Tried to install lisbus too but no changes.

So last night I successfully rooted my device using magisk, but after experimenting I just decided to revert back to being unrooted, since I realised I didn't actually need many of the functions root allows. Derooted using Magisk, checked that it was unrooted, then went into fastboot mode to re-lock the bootloader. Did so, restarted and I was presented with the dreaded "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed" error screen and endless bootlooping. I cannot access fastboot mode or recovery mode with button combinations, tried holding Vol + and power, Vol - and power but no dice. I believe I ended up bricking because I forgot to flash the stock vbmeta.img before locking the bootloader.
I've made some progress in getting to the MediaTek Emergency Download Mode (which I believe is also either called BROM or Preloader) in order to flash a stock rom. I found out that holding down both Vol + and Vol - at boot will enable this emergency download mode for a few seconds, before going to the destroyed boot/recovery error screen. The issue is, while I've managed to get the phone detected by my computer in this state in COM5 as a 'MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM_V1632 (Android), none of the programs said to flash a stock rom will detect it. I've tried mtk_client, mtk bypass tool, SP Flash, even regular fastboot and adb tools, but none of them will detect the device, even though Windows does.
The only smart thing I did was refraining from transferring all of my files from my old phone to this one, so luckily I've got a phone to fall back on. Basically, until I find a fix, the Ace will have to stay in it's box makes me wish I never messed with root in the first place lmao. And because I imported the phone there's no warranty and no service centres for OnePlus in my country that can help.
Anyone have any ideas for how I can get the phone detected in these applications? Is it an issue of the SoC not being supported yet by these programs because it's relatively new? Are there any alternate ways to get to the fastboot menu? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Update: If someone would be able to extract a scatter file from their own OnePlus Ace too, I think that may help me

Sorry that you've ran into this, but thanks for confirming bootloader can be unlocked, and root is possible.
Getting the 10R over the Realme GT 2 (sad situation of bootloader unlock not possible). Hope you get an extract soon

Made some progress!
Got my hands on the Ace's firmware files, which included the scatter file. Redownloaded the newest 6.2 version of SP Flash Tool and loaded the scatter and auth files successfully. Clicked download, connected USB to phone while holding Vol + and Vol - and finally! Sp Flash Tool connected to the phone! However, now I've run into another problem: SP Flash Tool will show a red progress bar at the bottom saying 'Download DA', it will reach 100% quickly then throw me a very vague error simply saying 'error_msg'. And that's it. Tried unchecking different boxes, reinstalled drivers but it will always throw back this error.
Any ideas to figure out what the error is and fix it would be amazing

hello, im here to show support. My ace also bricked because i want to change from color os to oxygen. I used fastboot enhanced, might have missed a step and bricked. Mine also import, but the shop i bought offers 1 year warranty. Shop says have to wait for msm download tools to reflash or i have to pay $60 to send back to China because my own fault. Man, it is going to be a long wait for msm tools. haha

Tried this method, but didn't work. Kept giving me a "Handshake failed: retrying" error when connecting the phone to the computer.
Here's a link the the firmware: OnePlus Ace Firmware

maybe this is because of the new chip and there is no support for bypassing it.I thought the method would work.also a tip-edit the scatter file, namely partition_name: super or system,changing the value is_download: false to is_download: true.hopefully help
And thank you for sharing the files

I too am stuck with Brick.
Is there a Bypass for the Demesity 8100 being developed?
This device is mostly Oppo, but there is no Oppo flash Tool?
There is very little information available.

Unfortunately not yet, the most promising option will be to wait for an MTK Auth Bypass utility to be developed for the Dimensity 8100 chipset. There might be active development on this front, so hopefully it will come soon.
The other option would be to find someone to do a remote flash, someone who has official Oppo/OnePlus flashing software and an account to use it. I believe I've found the official firmware to flash the phone in this state, however you need credentials to log in to it and access it. I think it will also specifically have to be Chinese credentials, as India login details may not allow you to flash a OnePlus Ace model. I tried to get someone over at (<Moderator Edit>: unallowed site name removed) to do a remote flash, and he couldn't because he had India credentials, but not Chinese credentials

Oh. I had OnePlus 7 previously, there were few ways to flash stock firmware. The common one was MSM Tool, other one was Fastboot enhance.
But few times I flashed stock firmware manually like payload dump payload.bin and flash partitions manually from fastboot. Maybe this could work.

I seem to have made fastboot inaccessible on my device, so I've been unable to use Fastboot enhance or utilise any ways to flash using fastboot

Damn!! I hope you find some way to fix your device. Good luck.

Hello. after unlocking the bootloader I have the message "Orange State. OS Not Being Verified Or Custom OS. Dismiss After 5 Seconds." but the system booted up. After uploading boot.img, the phone got stuck in bootloop. Unfortunately, the guide above did not help.

So you are not able to boot right?
If not, you can try flashing the partitions manually from fastboot. (If you are willing to try I can provide the steps. This works for other OnePlus devices.)

Few things to keep in mind before starting the process:
If you are on ColorOS12 make sure you are flashing OxygenOS12 and NOT OxygenOS 13; similarly if you are ColorOS13 you will have to use OxygenOS13 zip.
You must ALWAYS use OxygenOS newer than the ColorOS you have currently installed.

I flashed OxygenOS into my new china OnePlus ACE (model PGKM10) recently. I'd like to share my experience here.
Note:
Be careful about each step, any small mistake might make your device hard bricked. If so, you have to contact the official service center to send your phone, or search for a random people who have the official internal tools to help you.
Don't simply reboot your phone if some error happened in fastboot mode, otherwise it might hard bricked.
Don't mess android version. For example use OxygenOS Android 13 and ColorOS Android 12, It will hard bricked.
Read it all before you touch your phone and PC!
Steps:
Prepare Fastboot Enhance (windows only), an OxygenOS rom.
Boot into your OnePlus ACE, enter developer mode, and enable oem unlocking and USB debugging.
Try to connect your phone with your PC. If you are using Windows 10 or newer, it would install OnePlus driver. It's necessary, otherwise you PC might not recognize your phone after enter fastboot mode. If you are using other OS, it's not required.
Turn off your device, enter fastboot mode. Note the fastboot interface looks like normal boot interface, but with some tiny text in the middle that says it's in fastboot mode.
Run fastboot flashing unlock to unlock partitions for flashing.
Prepare Fastboot Enhance, note it's windows only. If you are using other OS, you need to use fastboot command line tool, do it manually, and it has high risk. I failed once at the fastboot commands, and hard bricked.
Open fastboot enhance, click Partitions button, press Flash payload.bin, select the payload.bin file in the oxygenOS rom, and start. Some tutorials says to remove *-cow partitions, but I didn't find these partitions. That's fine.
If everything success, you can reboot your phone and enjoy!
Troubleshooting:
Myphone is not recognized by PC.
That's because your Windows PC needs OnePlus driver, try step 3.
If you completed step 3, but still got this problem. Just search it, you will get a lot of solutions. They are basically install winusb driver manually with the existing driver on PC.
My phone is hardbricked.
Don't worry.
Don't waste your time to try to solve by yourself. For example, mtk-client don't work. As the author mentioned at issue 577, Mediatek has locked it (dimencity 8100) down completely. The only way as I know is to use the official OPPO internal tools (Qualcomm 9008 mode), it requires internet and an internal employee account. Though its name, it works also for Mediatek dimencity 8100.
One way is to contact the official service center, and send your device to them. I didn't try it, but I think they can solve your issue.
Another way is to find a person who has the official internal tools, and pay for the service. The pros of this way is the whole process is online, and fast. I found NC Phone on youtube, and solved my issue. Note in this way, a Windows 64-bit, teamviewer and internet is required.

You can but the process is a bit complicated, on recent updates some time the phone is bricking when we run the query fastboot flashing lock.
So I won't recommend it. Until we can find a easier way.
