Tried hence telling u...
This method is very important for those with locked bootloader. Can anyone else confirm that it works ??
i can confirm that it enters in edl mode..chk this
doesn't work
Need confirmation from more users, whether this method works or not.
Thank you in advance.
Yes it work if you have unlock bootloader.
if you don't feel like downloading, the command to get into EDL is:
fastboot oem edl
Will it work on Snapdragon variant without unlocking bootloader
not working on 2017 edition... must open the backdoor case to do edl
Have you tried it or just saying?

He wrote that : "tested by me'', not sure tho.
confirm not working on device with lock bootloader
This doesn't work unless your bootloader is unlocked
If anyone is thinking they can root their device via this method, it's not gonna happen. cuz edl in 4X requires unlocked bootloaders or sorting tow points on motherboard. some people says they can make edl cable for 4X but I've not tested it by myself

The post above yours... omg

Maybe a bricked phone

Hey guys, I need some help. I searched a lot and didn't find nothing that looks like my problem.
I had a OP5 with Magisk root and tried to back it to stock. Then I flashed OnePlus recovery again, wiped everything and install 5.1.3 again. Everything ok until I made some dumb ****.
I tried to re-lock my bootloader and now my phone says that it won't boot up because it's corrupted. I can boot into both recovery and fastboot but I can't install anything (I can only install through ADB sideload and it says install failed) and I can't re-unlock my bootloader because it says remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed cant boot (but I can't boot so I can't enable oem unlock through developer menu).
There is anything that I can do to make my phone boot again?
Thanks in advance.

Thank u, killerex. Just one doubt: I see on the post about the tool that I need to have OEM unlocking enabled but, as I said, I can't do this since I can't boot. I can use this tool to flash Oxygen OS even with OEM unlocking disabled? And, if yes, how do I do, just flash the zip using the tool while in recovery?

Go to fastboot mode using the tool you can flash new recovery and unlock bootloader and flash rom..sorry for bad English
in fastboot mode, use fastboot command to flash new recovery and then install new rom in recovery. You can also use adb sideload in recovery.

No problems, my english is not that good too. Just one more question: there's any difference if I go to fastboot through the tool or the power option (vol up + power), because since I can only boot my phone in fastboot or recovery there is no way to go to fastboot using the tool (I guess)

You could try this:

It should work for almost any state. I haven't had the need to use it yet, but let me know if it works for you.
Cheers! ?

You need to use the Qualcomm tool if it's that bad :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/unbrick-tool-oneplus-5-t3648169
You're gonna lose all your data cos the phone will get a COMPLETE factory reset, take it as a life lesson to back up first
Oh...never mind then, lol

Bootloop and locked bootloader

Hello guys, I have a problem. I updated my Mi A1 and now I am in bootloop. I can't use MiFlash because I have locked bootloader.
I have tried fastboot oem edl, adb sideload in recovery but it didnt help. Any solution?
bad luck !! Test point method is the only way ? i faced the same situation ... please don't go to the service centre , they will tell you that the motherboard of your device needs a change .. and ask for a big amount of money if your phone is out of warranty ..!! search for the test point method here .. follow the video , and then follow the steps to go back to stock oreo from pie .. that's the only way ??
Same problem happened with me
My internal storage gets full and mobile automatically got switched off and bootloop
I tried to flash my self with adb command fastboot oem unlock
And successfully unlocked the bootloader & flashing process started but it keep flashing for long time whole night
So i decided to go near shop and gave him he tried with EDL test point and then phone goes in black screen He gave up :crying:
Now I'm thinking to go mi service centre but i get to know their ans is to change motherboard

What did u update? Stock rom? When did you buy the device? Can you get into fastboot? Can you get into recovery?
i just flashed the device for my wife with stock fastboot and locked the bootloader and of course it ends in bootloop.
i removed sim and micro sd and it boots up.

You messed up because from stock Pie onwards, Xiaomi has implemented ARB which will bootloop your phone if you downgrade your rom.

Hi! Does testpoint method works here?
I'll try with a home made EDL cable, if this does not work I'll have to drive to the office for tools and try the test point. I'll update, but if anyone knows if this or that works and see this post on time, let me know!
UPDATE:
- EDL cable didn't work.
- Test point method worked fine, I thought that opening this phone would be harder, search for dissasembly tutorials on youtube and for test point method, the brick got back to life and it's fully working!

Well the first rule when unlocking a device is to never lock the device unless it's full stock like you just flashed it. You should be able to hold the 3 buttons together (called a 3 finger salute) and get into fastboot to unlock it again. If it was a hard brick, there would be no life to it at all. As long as it is recognized in fastboot then it's not a brick. Good thing there are binaries lol
