[8/6/16] Unbrick RN3 from HS USB 900E with modified fastboot file

Found a way to reboot to edl mode from fastboot
All credits to @emuzychenko
1) Download modified fastboot file
2) Reboot your phone to fastboot
3) Double click on edl.cmd
4) You are on 9008/edl mode
5) Flash any fastboot image from Mi flash
You successfully unbricked your device

Hi
Try with that method also. It seams to work .

Next time I brick it again (trust me, it will happen) I will give those a try.

This is the solution www(dot)htcmania.com(/)showthread(dot)php?t=1163463
Cheked by me, the brick was to try to unlock the bootloader without the Xiaomi message.
Sorry for my english, bu ti hope to be helpful.
To restore the default Bootloader copy paste the emmc_appsboot.mbn from Fastboot Rom to the Adb foldee
and type command on cmd
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot reboot

For those who have failed and stuck on "HS USB 900E" and the bootloader stick locked here is the solution :
1. Enter fastboot by holding vol down + power
2. Plug your RN3Pro to PC
2. Flash original bootloader from official fastboot firmware
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
3. Type again :
fastboot reboot
and quickly hold volume up untuk it enter "sideload" mode
4. Install Mi PC Suite from this link en.miui.com/thread-225600-1-1.html
5. Let the Mi PC Suite download the latest chinese firmware, just sit and wait until it done
6. Lets Brick the beast again

this method only works for few very people, everyone cant access adb through recovery.

Have you tested this method yourself? I think this is for people who bricked the device but had stock recovery inside, what about people who has twrp and bricked the device? Also I dont think you can flash anything through fastboot in locked bootloader

IT WORKS

Yes i did .. and its not allowing me to flash anything .. Getting Error Device is locked :/

failed bro, getting error device is locked using QFIL.:crying:

Guys, please mention the reason behind your device getting bricked too when you are reporting what worked and what didn't. Like whether during unlock bootloader process(without xiaomi's permission) or flashing custom ROM(most probably MIUI official updates) via twrp.

i've tried this myself. In HS USB 900E you can flash aboot through fastboot whether you stock recovery or twrp before bricked.

Rajdip said:
I have found few ways by which people may unbrick from HS USB 900E state without test point, but those guides are for other devices, needs thorough testing for Redmi note 3.
Tools needed:-
1) QPST http://www.androidbrick.com/downloa...qcn-for-lollipop-android-5-0-6-0-marshmallow/
2)Nubia tool studio https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwtoIMKf470SRUxfdHA5cU14ZTQ#
Now follow these guides for reference,
1)http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimat...ide-snapdragons-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload/
2)http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick...-you-have-the-right-kind-of-rom-qhsusb_dload/
Only people with hardbrick(900E) and locked bootloader can this test methods, Please try and leave your feedback, maybe we will find a way to unbrick without opening the phone and voiding warranty. Good Luck

Strange problem with Re-Locking bootloader

Hi guyz, i've a little problem here.
I've to Lock my bootloader. Now i did it several times, with different tools too. Now:
If i use correct droidboot version (lollipop one) and flash it, the bootloader is not (secure), so not locked.
But if i try with a tool and it flashes the KK fastboot, it works, it's relocked.
Can you tell me why? Thanks!

Seems the Lollipop fastboot doesn't have the signature check that kitkat fastboot has.
But, even you can flash custom files with locked bootloader and lollipop fastboot, the system don't boot, stucks at USB logo, so it means the bootloader is locked.

Yes, I tested in my phone, flashed custom kernel with locked bootloader and fastboot from Lollipop .87, flash sucessfully, but when I try to boot... USB logo.
Only KitKat fastboot has signature check.

Yes, same on my device. I think it's normal.

Yes, fastboot mode of lollipop firmware on ZenFone 5 / 6 is able to flash custom kernel / recovery, but it won't boot until bootloader unlocked.

Custom Recovery for LG H340N

Hey there,
i have upgraded my Lg H340N to Android 6.0 . Now i can unlock the bootloader, but for flashing a custom recovery i have to get to the fastboot mode. Somehow the adb-command "adb reboot bootloader" just reboots the phone normally. Is there any Key-combination for getting into the fastboot mode?
Is there another way to install a custom recovery?
Thank you for your answers

A2017G How to relock bootloader on Nougat B10

I came back from LOS 16.0. Flashed A2017G_B10_NOUGAT_FULL_EDL in EDL but there's a warning that my bootloader is locked. I wanted to relock it but the warning prevents me from entering bootloader or fastboot (or maybe they are not even present....). Next I flashed A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL in MiFlash but it did not do anything. It flashed OK but I still cannot access fastboot. Should I flash some marshmallow rom? Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. Cannot enter fastboot mode on Nougat ROM.

Ok I found the way usin Axon 7 Toolkit
1. Set the Android version to 7 using option 13
2. Perform unlock bootloader
Following instruction Axon & Tookit gives you EDL image of the proper fastboot partition giving the possibility to enter fastboot mode
then fasboot oem lock

I wanted to say thanks that works, but apparently my phone is bricked now - it hangs on green ZTE logo. PC recognizes it as DFU. Cannot enter EDL either. I guess I look for some guide how to recover from this situation
Managed to fix that. Somehow I was able to enter fastboot. It said my bootloader was locked so i flashed TWRP and from TWRP using ADB installed stock Nougat rom

If you was able flash twrp mens your boolaeder was unlocked?

No there's a TWRP that works on locked bootloader.
