Will 'adb reboot edl' Work For Mi A1? - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

I am trying to boot the phone into edl mode, with no luck, fastboot not working, so I try adb.
I realize you leave the phone on, but in developers section I learned to enable USB Debugging, and Select USB Configuration (MIDI).
adb devices shows the device, but 'adb reboot edl' just reboots the phone...
fastboot oem edl gives me - failed status read failed to many links
Hmm
P.S. After making this post I got it working with fastboot oem edl, even thought it gives the failed message. The key I realize is to make sure to have qualcomm drivers installed, but Windows has to run with digital signature verification off, so these drivers work, then in MiFlash, it detects the phone as COM4...

Huawei P8 not detected by PC in Fastboot mode

I use
adb reboot bootloader
to get into fastboot mode.
the display shows
"Fasboot & rescue mode
please connect and open Hisuite
LINK
phone locked"
I even installed the Hisuite, but nothing happens and
fastboot devices
returns an empty list.
when the devices is booted up, USB works like a charme - but in fastboot mode windows does not even detect a device?!
any ideas?

A2017g can't reboot to bootloader

So I've just received my axon 7 a2017g. It came with b06 installed. I'm trying to unlock boot loader without success. Can't get to edl mode. In cmd the device is unauthorized though I've enabled oem unlock and sub debugging. Installed the drivers from sub debugging. I have Windows 10 64 bit. I get to recovery with volume up plus power I select to reboot to bootloader with no success. It only restarts. Tried also with b10 and b08.
Any suggestions ?

Why bootloader? Isn't there a way to do it via EDL (from system, do adb reboot edl)? On Controllerboy's guide maybe? Maybe you think that the device doesn't get to EDL because it seems like it's totally powered off. Just try again.
As of fastboot, it was removed on Nougat, not sure if they removed it before though

Did not understand you. Where in system to do and reboot?
The phone is turned onand connected the the pc and I've enabled oem unlock and usb debugging.
The device won't boot to edl after I enter adb reboot edl. So I tried in recovery screen to get to the bootloader menu but pressing reboot loader it just restarts

You have to have adb and fastboot installed. Run "adb reboot edl" from your computer while the phone is on, it should ask you if you want ADB to be allowed to do stuff, then poof. Go to the Device manager and check that there's a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 under Ports (COM&LPT)

Unplug the phone, turn it off. Hold only the 2 volume buttons (DON'T TOUCH POWER) and insert the USB-C (plugged to the PC in the other end ofc) while holding the two volume buttons. then check device manager
This should get you to EDL

Okay after you do that last thing you should get to EDL. Download Zadig, uninstall the Qualcomm QDLoader drivers and tick Delete driver software too. Then go to Zadig and install the driver. After that hold the 3 buttons (pwr, vol) until the led flashes or your PC makes a sound, wait 5 seconds, and you'll be able to run axon7tool.exe -r gpt boot recovery
In zadig's post he says they G models should edl only by the command. But I did as you said with the volume buttons. I run axon7tool in command But it says no device found

Well I guess there's no harm trying to downgrade to marshmallow B03. Download that ancient ROM from raysteff's download center. I did the whole process there. Maybe you'll get fastboot too

Thinking about it it's not that weird, I think you're not getting the Zadig part. Did you install the driver through Zadig? How's the device reported aa when on EDL? If you installed the driver properly it should be listed as QUSB_BULK under USB something
Sure I'm not doing something right.
First I did not have Qualcomm drivers installed
I'm in edl with volume buttons and sub. open zadig and install wcid.
From here I did not get it. Hold all buttons volĂ·power?

"adb devices" command:
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
xxxxx unauthorized
When enabling USB debugging then with USB cable connected, there is a popup in your phone, asking to authorize
your phone (with digital signature etc..). You need then to authorize it. Afterwards, your phone will be recognized
with 'adb devices" output as :
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
xxxxx device
xxxxx is your device id. You must have status "device" and not "unauthorized"

Yes I know that a message should popup but it doesn't. What can I do?
I have oconnection options like charging, mpt etc.
Should I choose something perticular?
And why it doesn't reboot to bootloader from recovery menu?
I really think something is wrong with the device.
Where can I find a2017g b03? In every post the link to zte's website that only have b11 and nougat.
Sorry for all the questions as I said this device gives me a hard time.
I've had opo op3 lg g5 le max 2. Non of theme gave me hard time like this one

Please check periodically USB debugging option. I encountered similar problem as your, and before the popup that confirms USB debugging
for the phone, the option is set back to disabled. So maybe you have to check again this option, unplug and replug the phone, choose option MTP,
this should help to have the confirmation popup. Anyhow you must have to reach status "device" which means your phone is able to connect using ADB.
For A2017G B03, it is not necessary, B11 is OK for unlock, TWRP or root using the current guide.
However if you really need it (A2017G B03, B06, B09):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68873485&postcount=3
I suspect that my laptop is causing me trouble as also my g5 will not prompt me with authorization.
I'm gonna use a different laptop without any drivers installed. Can someone tell me all the drivers needed for the a2017g in chronological order so there won't be any conflicts?
In other tutorials they don't mention Qualcomm's driver but in othrrs they are needed.
This phone makes me so frustrated.
So please a step by step from new how to connect to adb on a total new pc. From there I hope I'll manage.
Thanks to all who replied. It's much appreciated.
Here the same problem with an A2017G model. Phone worked with the latest LineageOS, was rooted and got an unlocked bootloader, and with flashing to the the new B04 update phones ends up in a loop.
I can get into the stock recovery and when i choose "reboot system now" i get a screen wich tells you to lock your bootloader.
In recovery a can also choose "apply update from adb" or "apply update from sd card". With the first option i can flash a rom but at 25-30% adb ends up with an error.
With the second option i get a message "Sorry, can`t sdcard upgrade", and tryed several sd cards.
Phone will NOT boot into Android so i can`t change USB debgugging or something.
I can get in EDL mode and after "axon7tool -r gpt boot recovery" in adb the phone reboots with no errors and gets in a loop again. Grrrrr..... Very frustrating with a non working phone!

The command "axon7tool -r gpt boot recovery" only backups your boot and recovery (-r = read, so of course only files *-backup.bin are created inside your PC directory, no change to the phone).
Since you have stock recovery, did you apply the full ROM A2017G-N-B04 (australian) from here:

A1 stuck in bootloop

Let me know if this post belongs somewhere else.
My Mi A1 is stuck in a bootloop as a result of trying to install magisk 14.4. At the moment I can boot it into fastboot mode, but not into recovery mode. In fastboot I can execute the command
fastboot devices
that returns the hex number followed by "fastboot." However, it does not respond to any other fastboot commands, e.g.
fastboot reboot
fastboot oem device-info
I have been attempting to flash the stock rom without success as follows:
in win10 32-bit environment:
fastboot responds as above. I cannot install the MiFlash-2017-7-20 version. Windows complains. I conclude that version must be a w10 64-bit app, although it doesn't say so.
win10 64-bit
MiFlash-2017-7-20 installs and runs, but does not see the device. Apparently, the adb drivers are at fault. I have turned off signature enforcement and tried installing various versions of the adb drivers. The device manager shows them as installed, but reports that they cannot start.
Centos 7 linux
Adb drivers install. "Fastboot devices" reports correctly. All other fastboot commands fail, i.e. they hang. I tried installing the tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794 image using the linux shell script provided, but that just hung also.
Is this phone well and truly bricked at this point? Is there any other recovery available?
I think it is not hard bricked by any means. Try booting into the Quallcomm EDL and try flashing the fastboot rom with MiFlash too. You can setup a virtual environment in which the flash tool can run and the drivers can install properly.
Maybe you should boot to other partition (A or B)
Just fastboot then try boot to other partition, hope it works

As he said, he can't execute fastboot commands so that isn't a option.
@yuoip
1. You say that "fastboot devices" works, but "fastboot reboot" not. What error do you receive? Could you paste full log?
2. Sometimes drivers in Windows must be installed manually - open device manager, find unknown device, choose from list and find and choose "android fastboot" or "android adb" device depending on the mode you're in. If you have installed fastboot device before, you should be good to go. Otherwise you'll need to download minimal adb package (https://freeandroidroot.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-all-versions/), or Google development kit (much larger).
3. stock recovery mode is started by pressing "power button + volume up", once "no command" screen appears, press shortly "power button + volume up" to show the menu.
4. please post full log of command "adb devices" as well
Hola guys. I got mostly the same issue here. While I still can use adb comand while on fastboot. But i can't flash stock rom using mi flash.. i mean after the done notice my phone still stuck and wont reboot. Like the flash doesnt apply to the phone. I wonder what was wrong

Unpack ROM image, extract directory, open cmd, run "flash_all_except_storage.bat" (you might want to remove command "fastboot %* oem lock" from the end of bat first), check/show log.
The easiest thing that worked for me in a similar situation is going into stock recovery and factory resetting the device. I had tried pretty much everything before this and my device was still dead for 1 and a half days before i hit upon this idea without any guides and it worked!!
Do this to get into recovery mode:
1. Power off your phone
2. Press power button and volume up button at the same time
3. You will get "No command" Screen with Android robot with exclamation mark
4. Press power button (don't release) then press volume up button..
5. You will enter into recovery...
The phone may just reboot normally the 1st time you try it as it requires some practice to get it right, but keep trying..
Hope this helps

1. I tried this method to boot into EDL with no luck. Is there any other way?
C:\Downloads\xiaomi mi a1 root>adb reboot edl
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
2. On my win10 32-bit installation I am able to run MiFlash-2017045. It reports the device. I attempted to flash this image:
tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794
It completed and reported "success" however it did so in only 7 seconds, so it must not actually have succeeded. In any case the phone still will not boot.
3. However, I distrust MiFlash 20170425 because it comes from an androidmtk.com site and the processor is Qualcomm, not Mediatek. So I attempted to install MiFlash2017-07-20. However, that program will not install on my win10 32-bit installation. There is a Windows msg saying it cannot be installed, but does not give a reason. I suspect it is a 64-bit program. So, I installed MiFlash2017-7-20 in a win 10 64-bit installation. The program does run, but it does not see the device. I suspect that the adb drivers do not install correctly. I did turn off signature enforcement and the drivers appear to install, but the device manager reports that the drive cannot start.
The tissot images include bourne shell scripts to install, so I installed the adb drivers on my Centos box. Fastboot reports the device, but just as in win10 no other fastboot commands work. So, even though I did try to execute the install_all.sh script, it just hung on the first "fastboot getvar product" command.
So, I do not have a way to flash the stock rom.

1. All fastboot commands, other than "fastboot devices" just hang on "<waiting for device>" with no error message in the linux environment. In the win10 environment they timeout after a few seconds with a message like this:

Use fastboot commands manually. Mi flash tool is very buggy. Many time it doesn't work.

"Missmatching image and device"
So this is a little interesting. However, I don't think that the image is actually the wrong one, but that the script cannot get the device info since both "fastboot getvar product" and "fastboot oem device-info" fail on a timeout.

When I do that it just keeps going back to the "no command" screen. I think the recovery image is either damaged or gone.

1. & 2. It sounds like you don't have installed fastboot drivers (install them manually via device manager) or phone isn't connected in fastboot mode (make sure there is a picture with fastboot written on the phone).
3. this IS the recovery mode, just press power + volume up again to show the menu
4. you won't see ADB devices in fastboot or recovery mode, unless you enable ADB sideload from recovery

Android Phone

Wrong drivers then, it should say Android bootloader interface. Reinstall them correctly.
1. I did the manual install, but I don't see anything labeled "fastboot driver."
Device manager now reports:
Android Phone
Android ADB Interface
Android Bootloader Interface
Android Bootloader Interface
Android Composite ADB Interface
However, all these entries have a warning symbol on them. The Device status for each is:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device.
Is one of these the fastboot driver? Apparently not, since the behavior of the fastboot command hasn't changed.
When I try using the fastboot command the A1 shows "Fastboot" with the rabbit character and the sick robot.
I should mention that in the Centos environment I have installed the android-tools package, which include adb and fastboot drivers and tools. The behavior of the fastboot command there is the same.
So, this leads me to believe that the problem is the A1, not the windows or linux environment, but I don't know enough to know for sure. Also, I would assume that if the fastboot drivers were not installed, the command "fastboot devices" would fail, but it doesn't.
3. At the "no command screen" if I do press and hold the power button and then the vol. up button it boots right back into the "no command" screen. There is no menu.
4. With no recovery menu I can't set any options.
Uninstall/remove everything with android name in it, disconnect phone, reconnect phone in fastboot mode. Make sure that there is only one item under Android Phone - Android Bootloader Interface. You should not see 4 devices - do you have Android emulator running or anything else connected?
When in recovery, do not hold power + volume up, just press it briefly. Sometimes it takes few tries to show the menu, but I can assure you that it's there.
Yes! You're right. The recovery menu is indeed there. I didn't know that it had to be a short press to bring it up. Thanks.
Device manager now shows only one "Android Bootloader Interface" entry. I am not running any emulator.
So now what do I do? Do I need to flash the tissot... image? The fastboot command still behaves as before.
Quick Google search suggests to avoid using USB 3.0 ports. So..maybe try another ports on your PC..?

your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted and may not work properly

Hi all, I ended up with this:
"your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted and may not work properly"
I can access Fastboot mode but can't flash any TWRP
Any help?
I tried to install LOS with Universal Bootstack...and Axon 7 Tool open a window just for one second so I can't access the command

All right, do this:
-Put the phone in Fastboot
-Open command prompt
-Run "fastboot erase userdata"
If it doesn't work, do this:
-Set up a TWRP on your fastboot folder (rename it to "recovery.img" [BE SURE THAT YOUR PC SHOWS FILE NAME EXTENSIONS] and put it on the folder where fastboot is located)
-Open command prompt in the folder where Fastboot is located
-Run this command:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Your phone should enter TWRP. It's not installed, it just boots it once.
Then try to format data from TWRP. Right after that, use "adb push recovery.img /sdcard" to push the recovery img to your internal storage. Then go (on your twrp) to "Install" - hit "Install image", then select the recovery.img, and select "recovery" and swipe to confirm.
After it is done, install LOS again. If it is 15.1 or 16 you have to have a Vendor compatible TWRP, such as Ordenkrieger's TWRP (From LOS16 thread). Follow the instructions precisely
As soon as TWRP is flashed, i get the warning screen with : "your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted and may not work properly"
And no recovery then after reboot
No FTM mode and I can't enter EDL
And I have to say my device is recgnised as DFU by the PC so maybe trying the EDL cable?

yes, an edl cable might work. Otherwise I think you can get some fastboot images and attempt to install them to the right locations
Did you do "fastboot boot recovery.img"? It shouldn't reboot the phone. TWRP should appear right after the transfer is done
If you still have access the fastboot
Enter, reboot dm-verity enforcing

I did the fastboot boot recovery.img the phone reboot, i get the warning screen for unlocked bootloader and straight after "your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted and may not work properly" with the same style as the bootloader warninr screen.
So without a recovery I can't flash fastboot images
For those in my case:
When you get the warning screen with the red message, just push once the button power, a Linux logo will appear, and another push on the button will boot you in TWRP
I didn't manage to get the command to work : adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing", I tried Terminal in TWRP but with no luck.
Did you get access to Edl mode, via button combo or through adb?
If not can you get to the FTM screen?
I know you couldn't access these earlier, has that changed?
Also what apps do you have?
Edl tool?
Axon 7 tool kit (you did mention this)
Miflash?
Qualcomm drivers and Zadig drivers?

I didn't get access to EDL mode even through ADB, nor FTM screen. So MiFlash is useless
With Axon 7 tool, I tried to flash TWRP with no success, my phone was on DFU
Then I managed to dm-verity encrypted through ADB but the phone was not rebooting on recovery, still fastboot but the phone was not recognize by the PC
I have Qualcomm Drivers installed
Right now with Lineage, I can't acces FTM screen
I just pushed the button twice when I was with the red warninr screen and get access to TWRP (or Lineage boot screen)
Try installing the Zadig drivers and the bulk USB drivers for the axon to help detect the correct device.
Then see if the Axon tool kit will work properly.
DFU mode shows for a number of reasons.
In your windows device manager it needs to show
"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" if all drivers are setup properly.
When I soft bricked mine I was trying to install Los 15.1
I had the corrupt device message you are getting.
I used all 3 apps to eventually get mine running.
I made sure all drivers were installed and up to date, I switched between the Axon tool kit, edl tool and Miflash to get my laptop to recognise.
I ran the Axon tool kit to setup adb (a few attempts before it worked)
I then ran Edl tool to get some form of Edl
Then ran Miflash (latest version) I had to try this several times too (constant error messages) it finally started the flash process but would fail (I was using the turkdev edl)
I swapped it for the B12 Edl on Raystefs page and it worked, I then had to reflash with the correct modem though.
Anyway I truly hope you get it sorted

Can I ask how you got it fixed? I would be handy to know for others that end up in this position.

Just with "dm-verity enforcing" with ADB
Then: press button power when on the red warning, a pinguin will appear and again press the power button, it will reboot on TWRP or Lineage
My fasbtoot was inefficient a part for the dm-verity enforcing, no FTM also

I know this is an old reply, but I arrive from a google search. Sir, thanks a lot for this reply. I was stuck in your same situation and pressing the power button with the linux icon allowed me to go to TWRP. THANKS!
I get the pinguin, but if i press Power again, nothing happened. I have to wait for a while it reboots to System. I tried to hold Power while it is rebooting, but it always reboots to System. No chance to enter twrp...

Reboot to Recovery Loop but no Recovery Installed - How to get back to System reboot?

I tried flashing a recovery program (TWRP) in fastboot mode. The powershell said it was successful, but now the phone cannot get past the bootloader unlocked screen. It started to System twice, and I made sure to remove the security PIN and enable ADB debugging on this computer automatically. However, "fastboot devices" and "abd devices" commands do not return the device ID, but the phone does turn on when I attached the USB cable that's connected to my computer. I think it's trying to restart into recovery mode, but the recovery program (TWRP) did not install correctly. How can I get it to reboot to system again?

When I try to give a fastboot command, the powershell just returns
<waiting for device>
and then nothing happens.
