Hi everyone. Yesterday, I flashed Mi5X rom on my mi a1 and now it's stuck on boot page saying "The system has been destroyed. Press power button to shutdown. I can still enter into fastboot mode but my bootloader got locked itself ( it was unlocked before). I tried unlocking boot loader using "fastboot oem unlock" command but i got error
"FAILED (remote: Token verification failed, reboot the device)". I also tried to flash stock rom using mi flash tool but again but flashing completes in 0 seconds. When using another rom file i got error: "error Mismatching image and device". i tried another rom but it also got flashed in 0 seconds. So if anyone knows something then please share with me. It will be a great help to me. Also tell me if i did something wrong in the way. Thanks.
Why would you flash Mi5X ROM on Mi A1? Guess you cant get into the recovery or can you? What do you get if you type fastboot devices?

First of all I thought that both devices are similar so I flashed Mi5X rom on my mi a1. I can't get into recovery mode. And fastboot devices command recognizes my mi a1 . I have no problem in getting my mi a1 into fastboot mode and connecting it to my PC.

Thats interesting... what about getting in EDL mode? There you can flash stock ROM. In EDL mode you dont have to unlock bootloader to flash.
Try to use EDL mode, there is a guide here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76347021&postcount=2
Dont ever to flash Mi5x rom again, the hardware is similar but not the same, we MiA1 use A/B partitions.
The reason the fastboot OEM unlock command no longer works may be that you flashed an MIUI ROM onto your phone and that command isn't how you unlock the bootloader on MIUI. My understanding is that you need to request unlock permission on the Xiaomi website and after you get verification that it's been approved you use their unlock tool to unlock the bootloader. If you manage to get the bootloader unlocked then you can hopefully use the MI Flash tool to restore your phone to stock.
like someone said already use EDL mode.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70hYUCjAsCM
and if you have updated miui EDL could be blocked here is miui forum post about it http://en.miui.com/thread-1680467-16-1.html
best of luck.
edit : I revived father's redmi1a once using testpoint.. nasty but works out ok, if you have a PC , cable and drivers needed..
earlier MI allowed use of EDL cables but with new miui they removed this functionality from bootloading
Since you can get into fastboot, try the following command to go into EDL:
fastboot oem edl
MiA1 is a **** low tier phone. Big mistake if you buy it!

It's a good cheap phone for people who can't afford a flagship. It's also priced at what it's worth. New OnePlus & Pixel phones cost much more than they are actually worth based on build quality and resale value after 1 year. You can easily buy a refurbished or used Pixel XL ($1000 list) for $200. I paid $800 (including sales tax, shipping and insurance) for a new OnePlus 5 and got $270 when I sold it 8 months later and threw in over $100 in accessories. Buying an expensive flagship phone that loses most of its value within a year is the big mistake.

The number one rule for any phone is don't flash stuff if you don't know what you're doing. If you flash an incompatible ROM on any phone you're going to brick it. That kind of user error can't be blamed on the MI A1.

This I completely agree with. I have a similar problem with Mi A1 but I flashed the Official fastboot ROM and now it's bricked. Here is the full detail:
Hey, I have a question for you since google can't help me with it, trust me, I tried.
I have a Mi A1 device and after I flashed the latest Oreo update (official) on it, it went into a coma (bricked but not dead), i.e. the phone kept vibrating every 1 second when it's connected to PC or when I push the power button. Can't get to fastboot or recovery, screen doesn't turn on and no charging screen when connected to power.
So I had to open up the back cover and did the "two point short" trick to force boot it to EDL mode, where I was able to flash the factory (earlier) fastboot image (Nougat) through Miflasher program.
After that I was able to boot to fastboot, and its default recovery. But the problem remains, I cannot boot to the system itself. When I press the power button it shows the splash screen and says "The system has been destroyed". I can go to fastboot with volume down + power button combo. I tried to flash the same fastboot rom through fastboot as well, I got the same result.
I also flashed the official and unofficial TWRPs on it, it boots into them as well. I also tried to flash other custom ROMs in it through those TWRPs, following every step clearly, where they say that after flashing the ROM TWRP needs to be flashed again. I did all that. But the problem remains, after the flash and reboot it always shows me that "The system has been destroyed" message and the phone has to be shut down (because it asks you to power it off on that message.)
And ofc the phone is unlocked. Although it is easy for it to be locked and unlocked through fastboot anyway.
So I am basically stuck now. Do you know a way forward? Is there a cure for it? Or my last option is to take it to service center when I know for sure that they are going to ask me to change the motherboard. This device was bought in Hong Kong so the warranty card is useless here.
Thanks for reading.
And I also made a thread about it, needs to be updated with this.

Hi everyone!
I have bougth a Redmi Pro on Gearbest and it came with Chinese/English Version of MIUI.
After a week of usage, i turned off my xiaomi and when i turned back on, it stucked on a Mi logo. Far as i discovered searching on web, it was a bug that other peopel have reported too.
I took a opportunity of having this bug to fix, to put other rom on the phone. A rom with Portuguese language witch is my mother lang.
I tried to put the new rom via "SP Flash took" with the fastboot mod but without success.
I requested the unlocking on Xiaomi Unlocking site and when they repplyed and i connected the xiaomi to the computer, the program (XiaomiMiFlash) gave me an error message telling ""Couldn´t verify device. Current account is diferent from the account info in the device"
No i can´t do nothing with the phone.
Can you guys have some idea how can i solve this?
Thank you all!
There is a good chance that the phone is already unlocked.
What was the problem with fastboot? Maybe drivers issue?
Have you tried flashing TWRP? If it takes then the phone is unlocked and you can proceed with flashing the xiaomi.eu or globerom.

Tks 4 the support!
About the Fastboot i putted the phone on fastboot mode and i disabled the Driver Signature Enforcement on Windows. I connected the phone to the computer and started to run the SP Flash Tool. After the process was completed it wont gave me any result because the phone still stucked on Mi logo..
I did'n tried the TWRP because in every tutorial tells me that i need to go to the Developer Mode and activate the USB debugging i can not access to that because the phone don't give me more than the Mi logo.
hmm the fastboot method should have worked. Have you tried it on another computer, maybe 32bit windows?
When finished flashing with miflash in fastboot did it say it was ok at the end or did it give you an error? Als tried to reboot a few times after flashing without usb cable in the phone?

Im losing my mind!
I tried again in my father's desktop wich have a 64bit windows 7 (I havent a 32 bit at home. I will try to get one borrowed)
I tried with the SP Flash Tool following a guide from "xiaomitips" and, in this computer, the program dornt even recognize my phone. I push the Download button but that give me no signal.
Is there any other way to do this? Other ways to put the rom in the phone? (Sorry the noob language)

I'm out of ideas at this point.
I had some trouble with fastboot that my phone did restart when in fastboot mode.
Then i had to change the order of plugging in the cable and starting the program but after that all worked.
No idea what next ...
I had this issue with a Redmi 3. I can't remember the exact solution but I believe you have to have the developer ROM installed in order to unlock the bootloader. Maybe if you search for an anterior model such as the Redmi 3 you will find more information on how to load your ROM. I'm sure that it's the same method for most Xiaomi phones. Good luck!
I heard about do a Hard Reset but i dont know how to do that because i cant access to the OS of the xiaomi.
Is there a way to do a hard reset with the xiaomi stucked on Mi logo?
Tks!
Happy 2017 for all!
I tried to put my phone one Recovery Mode but it is blocked. Its like the phone on this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTzdQpex7BQ
How can i unlock this?
I never could get into the xiaomi recovery either but i managed to flash twrp through fastboot though.

Hi
Does your problem with sp flashtools and flashing the ROM be solved ?
Sent from my Redmi Pro
I had this problem, but I'd installed TWRP already. But you shouldn't need USB Debugging on to flash TWRP. If you manage to flash TWRP, flash a new ROM (I recommend xiaomi.eu (I think they have Portuguese)) and wipe the Dalvik cache, /cache, and /data (you probably won't have to wipe /data/media).
Miui themes
Sorry will start new item
Have you tried a different cable, that is why mine wasn't recognized at first.
I'm having the same problem here. The phone rebooted itself when I changed the locale, and hung at the Mi logo. I already had TWRP flashed. I also took the opportunity to install a new ROM; the Global Dev ROM. It installed with no errors and I wiped the Dalvik, cache, etc. Still hangs at the Mi logo, but this time without the little loading dots at the bottom. Any suggestions?
Update: I can bring it back to the original state with the loading dots and "powered by Android" at the bottom with a backup I took before flashing the new rom, but still no progress.
I managed to restore my phone using the video:
Flash Xiaomi Redmi Pro Using SP Flash Tool [Locked Bootloader]
I can't post links since I don't have enough posts here yet, but search for it on Youtube.
Update: It seems like the unlocking permissions on my account have been retroactively rejected, I wonder if that has something to do with it. I also can't seem to find the Global ROM for the Redmi Pro anymore, just the China one. Does anyone have a link for the official Global ROM on the Xiaomi site?
Update 2: Suddenly I have unlock permission again, without reapplying, so that's cool. I installed the Eu HMPro ROM, everything's working well so far.

You could try dowloading the official rom and then download the CHINESE version of mipc suite then enter fastboot and connect the phone
Normally the chinese mi pcsuite automaticly detects the phone is in fastboot mode, you could use google translate to translate it all just choose redmi pro on model selector (the top selection bar)the text there is untranslateable just choose the one that says pro
And then under it chose the one that translate to chinese
After That there's two tick box under it, choose the ROM you downloaded
After that chose the one that translate to install brush package, if it doesn't work choose the download brush package next to it
Thus method worked for me when my phone bricked hope it helps you
Hi everyone.
I tried to factory reset my Xiaomi Mi A1 with the bats of the oficial OTA http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=333&mobile=no
I previously done this several time but keeping my data. Now i can't even enter to Fast boot. My phone only gives me the led light
Please, i really looked for this in the forum but i couldnt get any answer
I was trying this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/hard-bricked-phone-please-help-t3758606/page4
But after trying to flash a rom with MiFlash now i didnt even get my phone regonizned by the pc as Qualcomm. It's says something like "Unrecognizaed USB device (Descriptor error of the device)
New update: Somehow now my phone is on Fastboot. I tried to get on Fastboot thousands of times with the - Power button combo and now its magically working l(ike someone said on the linked post in main thread).
But i don't really know what to do now. Should i try to flash a rom with the Xiaomi Mi Flash tool?

That's not going to work, I had the same problem, you have to force the EDL mode with the test points on the motherboard.

This was same problem with me .So due to my was under warranty and I know opening phone(Because there is possibility that many Xiaomi Devices like redmi series , these devices can force device to edl mode by sorting points in board) may void warranty. So I don't consider to take risk and went to service centre and after 2 day they weren't able to recover ,that said if I would take risk to recover it wont happen just due to motherboard was damage due to partial flash and it also Fastboot and boot file thus device wasn't detecting or going into that mode .
My best recommendation is get repaired from service centre .BEFORE warranty is Void
I Got New Board with new IMEI and all new stuff.

if it is in warranty so I will resort to take it and they tell me, but take it to a technical service that can be solved, it hurts that here in Argentina there are not many who know or repair .....
A similar thing happened to me. I was flashing Pixel Experience (clean installed stock Oreo before that) and once the flashing finished and I switched to the partition it flashed to I was greeted with the Android One screen without the Unlocked message at the bottom. The phone wasn't even detected by my PC while in fastboot so I just went to the service center and told them it just got stuck like that after a system update. They fixed it and it was covered by the warranty.
Alright. just to get this out of the way, I used to do tech support for HTC many moons ago. like back when they were *the* name in originating new tech to smart phones. I worked my ass off to get into the R&D team that handled all the new products that got released and to our product recovery team(the idiots that try to put a good light on a bad decision made by corporate). I have rooted and installed custom ROMS and recovery software on several phones from them as well as since then with the latest being my old galaxy S7 loaded up with TWRP and lineagoe OS(although i do not remember which version now)
But i did not do literally *ANY* of that with my Xiaomi MiA1. the phone functioned how i wanted it to out of the box and with the stock ROM, i had no need or desire to do anything with the ROM.
I have all but completely given up on doing this on my own now. I have gone over every guide on the MI forums for xiaomi and i think i may have even exhausted the ones that are available here now too. I am not sure WTH the problem at this point even is but here is the lowdown:
:fingers-crossed:
got the update near the end of December/beginning of January to update my MI A1 to the new android pie version that just came out OTA(i actually have two of these phones, one i have not updated since the first update to oreo, and this one that is hardbricked from after the PIE update)
At first when i got the OTA update, my phone started to act sluggish. simple apps like messenger, or google drive that had always worked flawlessly suddenly were taking ages to load. So like any sensible person, i pulled my info to my SD card, took it out, and then did a system recovery to restore factory defaults and start with a fresh OS again, just like when windows starts behaving poorly.
only this did not fix the problem. It persisted with poor performance after the factory data reset and upon my next reboot, my phone just stopped loading when it got to the MI logo on the screen. i literally let the phone sit on this screen overnight thinking just maybe it was being slow to boot after the reset. No luck and in the morning it remained at this screen.
just to make a note:
-phone was purchased off of amazon, i have reached out to the seller(it was a business)
-phone is in CANADA, so there are no service centers
-i CANNOT enter recovery mode(pwr + volup + voldn), it just freezes at the mi screen
-i CAN enter fastboot, but cannot flash room
-bootloader is locked and i have not yet found a method that will successfully unlock it
-the miflash tool does not work(on any version what-so-ever)
-the mi unlock tool gets to 50% and then fails, cannot unlock
-i have installed minimal adb for fastboot, none of the related commands succeed(yes system sees the phone:
c:\adb>fastboot devices
91c0963c0804 fastboot)
-i cannot unlock bootloader here and cannot install twrp or any other recovery image and it will not allow it even temporarily
I've gotten desperate enough to have even gone to the extreme and tried EDL mode by using test point to enter, computer recognizes the device even as the qualcom 9008, still no luck with any of the tools or ROMs provided on Xiaomi's website.
So be real with me here ladies and gents.... should i take this thing on my next trip up a telecomm tower and biff it as hard as i can at the ground(obviously in a snowless area for the most satisfaction) or can you saintly people actually offer me some support on this to turn my brick paperweight back into a phone again?
it is also worth mentioning that this is my first post here because i have never before had a problem with following any of he guides on here to accomplish any task i've ever set out to do with an android device, but this beastly lil mother is seriously making me consider becoming an iphone person(not really but do you get the frustration here?)
I'm writing this at 5:30 in the morning after being up all night working on this task so if my info is missing somewhere along the line just poke me with stick and i will fill in the blanks as needed.
I couldn't be bothered to get and load screenshots tonight but i will get some up tomorrow after sleep, for now i am going to the graveyard to rest.
Thanks for any responses in advance here.

it depends on which version of the flash tool is used. the beta version of the flash tool claims that it is successful, but the phone will not load to the Android OS after that is completed and it still will not load into the recovery mode to attempt to factory reset or anything else.
other versions have given errors:
miflash 2017.7.20.0 gives the response after attempting for about 10 seconds of "ACK count don't match!"
miflash 2018.11.15.0 gives the error response of "cannot receive hello packet"
and as stated before the miflash beta goes through the complete flash process with the result stating a "success" response, but the phone will not load to OS, just remains stuck on the MI logo screen when the phone is booting up
i have some screen grabs of all this but i am not yet worthy through XDA to be permitted to share them
thanks for the reply

i dismantled the phone manually bro, when you use EDL mode this way the SIM/SD tray is removed you then remove the entire backplate and then disconnect the battery cable from the circuit board and you use the test point method to short two pins that force the system to start in EDL mode when you connect the usb-C cable, so unfortunately that is not the issue :crying:
it never seems to be the simple solutions
Thanks for the reply!
Still dead in the water on this one.
Going to look into getting a replacement, that is a disappointing end to the Xiaomi experience
Facing similar issue. Am able to flash however still stuck when device is rebooted with this message;
Supported API: 3
E: Failed to clear BCB message: failed to FSync/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/miscperation not permitted.
So earlier, I unlocked my Redmi 9T phone using the Xiaomi Official Tool, then flashed TWRP using XiaoMiTool V2, I opened cmd and entered fastboot reboot recovery, it's still in fastboot mode, I tried Power button + volume buttons and still stuck on fastboot and before it boots into fastboot again, it shows a charging battery icon. I plugged in my phone to my pc and selected "My phone is bricked" in XiaoMiTool V2 and waited for 1 hour to finish the download, it tries to install but when it gave me an error, I closed it and tried to reboot my phone, NOW IT'S SHOWING A CHARGING BATTERY ICON AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING! I keep turning on my phone but it only shows the battery and turns itself off quick. PC/ADB can't detect any, can't boot into fastboot, can't boot into system, can't boot into recovery. Please help me, I'm gonna get in BIG trouble. Please help me... Thanks!

You have missed the subforum:
This is here for Mi 9T /Redmi K20
You are asking about Redmi 9T
That's totally different name, phone model, hardware, Android version.
After all, your phone model is about two years newer than our Mi 9T here
Specially you made a big mistake if you maybe downloaded and flashed the TWRP for Mi 9T/Redmi K20 to your Redmi 9T, and bricked your phone
One needs to be careful about the phone models!!!

Generally, you should be able to fix by flashing the stock firmware via MiFlash again
But if you also locked your Bootloader by using the MiFlash last time, you will not be able to flash anything and you will need to seek around for the paid EDL support
Better ask on the XDA (sub)forum for your Redmi 9T:
Redmi 9 Power / 9T
The Redmi 9 Power is a 6.53" phone with a 1080x2340p resolution display. The Qualcomm SM6115 Snapdragon 662 chipset is paired with 4GB of RAM and 65/128GB of storage. The main camera is 48+8+2+2MP and the selfie camera is 8MP. The battery has a 6000mAh capacity.

How can I flash when my phone can't boot into fastboot? Can't boot into anything, it just shows the battery charge screen when I turn it on (even without plugging it in a charger). I have my bootloader unlocked

But you can ask in the right XDA subforum for your phone - where somebody familiar with your device could help you, or you cannot (or you don't want)?!
If you hard bricked your phone then you will need to find somebody to help you with the paid EDL account - usually they cannot advertise on XDA since advertising the paid support is forbidden. You should seek around on TG channels and so
That was the last my answer for you. Cannot help you better for your different phone. Good luck
