I will tell you my sad story.
I have a Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and I needed to change the IMEI, I used this article:
I previously used it in another Mi Note 2 (and it worked without problems, full signal, new IMEI) Now I have another Xiaomi Mi Note 2 for changing the IMEI, the difference is that I did a downgrade to the Chinese Developer version "7.6.29_20170629.0000.00_7.0_cn" This caused the phone to recognize no sim card, then I remembered that the tutorial was done doing root in the Global version Stable (flashing twrp via fastboot, then flashing supersu ... bla bla bla ...) And I installed the Global Stable version again "V8.2.6.0.MADMIDL" via fastboot. Then I did the procedure of I changed the phone IMEI successfully, but I am left without signal.
I already tried:
- Restore the original .qcn (I backed it up with QPST before any procedure) ... did not work
- Restore the modemst1 and modemst2 from another phone Xiaomi Mi Note 2 same ... did not work
- Restore a copy of the EFS via TWRP from another Xiaomi Mi Note 2 phone just like ... did not work
- Back to version "7.6.29_20170629.0000.00_7.0_cn" via fastboot and restore the original .qcn ... did not work
I am desperate and do not know what else to do, I tried to put the phone in EDL mode but Mi Note 2 has no EDL mode (I used the EDL cable method, also the fastboot edl method, also using "adb reboot edl")
Any ideas? Any effort will be appreciated. The idea that helps to solve the problem will have a donation of $ 50 that will be delivered via PayPal
Hi,
Few questions first.
Was this done on the CN or Global edition of the phone? i.e do you have all bands unlocked?
Did you use the same version of TWRP on all devices involved when you tried to restore from another phone?
What's the filesize of your QCN backup?
I'm happy to help you get into EDL mode but what are you hoping to achieve with it?
For the record, I'm not fussed on the reward.
If you want to give something afterwards I'm not going to say no but if you still need a hand let me know.
Thread closed.
We do not allow IMEI changing over XDA.
Okay guys , I'm new to this forum and I hope that there is someone who can help me , thanks .
I recently bought a Mi A1 and I would like to flash it into MiUi Rom ( I like MiUi so much but my country doesn't sell Mi 5X ) .
What had I done is :
1 ) I unlocked Mi A1's bootloader using fastboot command ( fastboot oem unlock ) .
2 ) I flash Mi 5X partition ( ONLY ONE Partitions ) , that I take it out from Mi 5X Fastboot China Stable Rom ( gpt_both0.bin ) and flash it into my Mi A1 using fastboot command .
3 ) Straight away , I flash the Mi 5X Rom into my Mi A1 using Mi Flash Tool ( I edited the flash-all.bat of Mi 5X Fastboot China Stable Rom so that it will recognize my phone as Mi 5X and enable me to flash it ) .
4 ) After that , my Mi A1 ( with Mi 5X Rom now ) was bootloop and stuck at Mi Logo ( usually we saw it when rebooting MiUi Rom ) .
What did I get after tidy up my mind :
1 ) After checking the log file of Mi Flash Tool , my Mi A1 is now recognize as Tiffany ( Mi 5X code name ) , not Tissot ( Mi A1 code name )
2 ) My bootloader now is locked .
3 ) I was unable to use ALL fastboot command since my bootloader is locked .
4 ) I tried to use Mi Unlock Tool to unlock my phone bootloader ( since my phone now is recognize as Tiffany ) , it stuck at 99% and stopped : Current account is not bound to this device .
5 ) Tried to flash the Rom through Recovery via Mi Suite PC Chinese Version , it didn't work for me .
6 ) Tried to flash Twrp into recovery mode , it didn't work for me .
7 ) Tried to get into EDL Mode via fastboot reboot-edl , it didn't work for me too .
What I haven't try yet :
1 ) DIY a Deep Flash Cable ( I can't do it since I did not have any knowledge on wiring and circuits )
2 ) Bought a Deep Flash Cable ( I asked someone and it seems like Deep Flash Cable doesn't work anymore for Mi Phones , Mi already block them )
3 ) Login somebody Mi Account which have bounded to Mi 5X and use his/her account to unlock my device ( I hope that there is someone who willing to borrow me his/her Mi Account to help me in unlock bootloader )
4 ) Send to Mi Service Center for repair ( I just bought my device few weeks ago , there is warranty on it . But I not sure that whether I can claim the warranty or not since I flash partition on the device )
Here is some images about my problems :
imgur.com/UL8GHoY -> fastboot getvar all
imgur.com/QM79cwq -> Can't boot recovery.img
imgur.com/8lEAIlT -> Can't unlock bootloader
imgur.com/sH91GxI -> Mi Unlock Tool Can't unlock bootloader
imgur.com/a/9BnUE -> Mi Flash Tool Logs
Is there anyone willing to help me to solve my problems ?
**Please give me some advice to fix my phone back .

** Sorry for my broken English
Well you don't mess around, do you? Have you tried this?
1. Install ADB and Fastboot on your computer.
2. Boot the phone into Bootloader mode
3. Open up a CMD or Powershell command window from the folder that holds the files and run "ADB Devices"
If you get a response, go to 4.
4. Then type "fastboot flashing unlock" in the command prompt.
Good luck.

Mods should really ban every discussion about 5X or MIUI from this forum. If you want MIUI buy another phone.

Hi . Now I'm seeking for helps to solve my problem .
If you are not willing to help , please stop being ' toxic ' and you may skip this post , don't watch it .
DYI deep flash cable doesn't sound too hard to make http://en.miui.com/thread-310325-1-1.html You were "brave" enough to flash incorrect ROM to your device despite all the warnings, so you might try the cable too.
Otherwise send your device to the service center, they should be able to reflash it. Please share the cost of repair, it might prevent other people to do the same dumb thing.
Use test point solution (you need to remove the back cover) to enter EDL mode，then use MI flash to flash the A1 ROM
Yes you can go to edl mode by testpoint
Then flash with miflash
Might help

Lol
I hv the greatest solution for this shi..t
Just go to fast boot mode by pressing volume down and power.
And
Open mi bootloader unlock tool in pc
And simply unlock ur bootloader normally
This will unlock ur bootloader again
And do whatever uh want
Flash rom again but this tym select only clean all
Device will boot normally
Thats it
This trick worked for meh..
I don't have any mi account in my device. How can I unlock the bootloader?
Unlock Bootloader officially without any Errors
Warning:-I will be not responsible for any thing goes wrong with your device. Do it on your own risk.
Requirements :- Pc with drivers installed, MI flash Tool, mi unlock tool, mi account with unlock permissions already granted, redmi note 3(obviously) and common sense.
Reason for sharing :- There are many users who still are not officially unlocked. The main reason is that they got stuck in binding MI account or stuck at 99% on Mi unlock tool. I also faced same issue. So i tried to unlock with China Developer Rom and without binding i was able to unlock officially. I have tried this method on Kenzo. For Kate Devices its little different. Some have lost hope of unlocking officially since device is quite old but try it. It may help you.
For Kenzo :-
Step 1 :- Download the latest China Developer Rom for Redmi Note 3. Link given below
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.11.22/kenzo_images_8.11.22_20181122.0000.00_6.0_cn_a0316924f3.tgz (kenzo)
Step 2 :- Flash the above fastboot rom using mi flash tool setting option CLEAN ALL AND LOCK. And boot to system.
Step 3 :- Now bind your MI ACCOUNT. If it fails do not panic.
Step 4 :- Boot to fastboot mode and connect to PC having Mi unlock tool Running.
Step 5 :- After you are officially Unlocked. Simply flash a Kenzo global Firmware.
For Kate :-
Step 1 :- Download the latest China Developer Rom for Kenzo and latest Global Stable Rom for Kate . Links given below
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.11.22/kenzo_images_8.11.22_20181122.0000.00_6.0_cn_a0316924f3.tgz (kenzo)
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.2.1.0....XM_20190114.0000.00_6.0_global_52f71e4360.tgz (Kate)
Step 2 :- Extract both the fastboot rom folders. Now go to Kate Images and Copy NON-HLOS.bin to Kenzo Images folder and replace it.
Step 3 :- Now flash the Kenzo China Rom on your Kate using Mi Flash Tool setting option CLEAN ALL AND LOCK. And boot to system.
Step 4 :- Now bind your MI ACCOUNT. If it fails do not panic.
Step 5 :- Boot to fastboot mode and connect to PC having Mi unlock tool Running.
Step 6 :- After you are officially Unlocked. Simply flash a Kate global Firmware.
Step 7 :- Flash Custom Roms and Enjoy.

Doesn't work. Mi unlock tool says phone not connected, even though it's connected and all drivers installed
I just followed the xiaomi instructions for unlocking the bootloader.
Why complicate matters with stuff like the original post?

Hello,
I tried this method on the Kate model but the mi flash tool shows the error "device mismatch". Any idea how to proceed and official unlock the bootloader on my Kate? Thanks for any hints.
With official support drop6, the most easy method is :
1. Download TWRP_ZCX for Kenzo.
2. Boot to EDL mode.
3. Flash recovery.
4. Important ! From EDM mode, press vol UP + Power and reboot to recovery (do not Boot to system otherwise you'll have to do from step 2 again).
5. Allow TWRP to modify system so as not to get replaced.
DONE ! ENJOY !
6. (Optional) Flash Latest OrangeFox , its better !
I have solved the problem and flashed everything via EDL mode and an older miflash version. Thanks for the guide, now i have officialy unlocked the bootloader
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to prep my phone in readiness to flash a custom rom and got this far:
Ensured latest firmware is installed
Unlock bootloader
ADB and Fastboot prep
Flash and boot twrp-3.5.2-andromeda.img
Full backup taken in TWRP
However, whist trying to use ADB sideload to move the amaneded vbmeta.img file onto my phone it glitched out. Now my phone will go into Fastboot (when pressing 'volume down' button and 'power' button), or if I don't intervene the Mi-Recovery 3.0 screen.
When in Fastboot the command "adb device" on my PC in command prompt no longer works:
Before:
List of devices attached
7586a90b device
After:
List of devices attached
So I can't flash anything to it via ADB.
If I choose reboot in Mi-Recovery 3.0 the phone restarts and I just get stuck in a loop.
Can anyone provide some advice on what I can do next to try and recover my device, please?
Cheers,
fitzy-boy

Hi sorry to bother you but its years since i have been on here and not even sure if im posting in the right place so let me apologise just in case, i have a similar problem my phone glitched Mi Mix 3 5g, and i had to do a factory reset then came the moment when it asked to activate this device with password could not remember password went into Mi Account and changed password no luck tried this 3 times with no luck, then someone told me to delete the Mi account and start again which i did and to be honest this has massively complicated the issue, i got in touch with Xiaomi and told them what had happened sent them imei number proof of purchase, and photos of activation screen , and to be honest its like talking to a brick wall all they keep telling me is change the password on the Mi account done it numerous times to no avail ,but my new account is not associated with this phone its the deleted account that is associated with this i would be most grateful for any advice as this phone is in immaculate condition thanks in advance....
