What to do when you're stuck in EDL-Mode (black screen = no fastboot - no recovery)

Probably you have the Anti-Rollback activated and tried to flash another ROM. After a successful installation your phone just went dead.
Here's how you could fix it (or how I fixed it):
1. Windows PC with MiFlash Beta (!) tool
2. Download a Xiaomi Fastboot Rom (ends with *.tgz)
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.8.30/nitrogen_images_8.8.30_20180830.0000.00_8.1_cn_66dfc4bb58.tgz
--> Beta (MIUI 10 8.8.30) (ANTI ROLL-BACK ACTIVATED!!!)
3. extract Rom to your PC
4. start MiFlash Beta tool and point to the extracted folder
5. press Vol+ & Vol- & Power on your MiMax3 for 10 seconds and connect it to your PC while holding the buttons another second after plugging it in
6. press refresh button on MiFlash tool
7. if your drivers are installed correct, your phone should be visible on COM-Port XXX
8. press flash and hopefully it will be flashed
9. if not: try several times
10. wait until it boots to the welcome screen (around 5 mins)
now your phone should be useable again.
If you want Treble-Rom to be installed, then go on:
11. turn phone off --> go into fastboot mode (Vol- & Power) --> install TWRP --> boot into TWRP
12. wipe date = yes --> reboot TWRP
13. make yourself a MiRom at https://mi-globe.com/rom-builder-features/?codename=nitrogen&img=mimax3.png&realname=Mi+Max+3
--> I used 8.8.30 version, and choose "advanced settings"--> set Magisk for root and build your zip
14. flash it through TWRP
15. reboot --> you will end up in a bootloop, but thats okay
16. go back to TWRP: swipe factory reset
17. install treble.img + gapps + Magisk and reboot and you're all good

thanks a lot! but i m in a different situation now!
i have baught the device from local store with so called fake rom. and as per some instruction found at different forums i have successfully flashed china developper rom, and than flashed again eu rom. the version was miui 10 8.8.30. some how, i was trying to install a gcam mod mistakenly wich was originally for mi a1, and the mobile suddenly stuck on "the system has been destroyed!" mode. i can eventually come to fastboot mode from this screen, but cannot flash rom, as it says now, it is locked. dont have the right to erase. so, i tried miflash unlock with my mi account, but it says current account is not bound to this device. even, i can't go to edl, so what is happening now, i m totally nobis here.
can some one help me. please? how can i achive unlock in this situation or how could i get rid of this and reboot to system?

So there is a way to recover the phone if you brick if from installing a firmware after having anti-rollback?

yes, but the anti-rollback will be still activated. You can flash the China Roms or a treble ROM as described. If you try to flash the EU Rom you will boot into the EDL mode without any warnings.

I need help.
The post in #1 doesnt work for me.
I have also tried a many of miflash beta; all not work.
I become always the info "can not open port ..."

The method does work!
You need to re-activate the EDL mode in a split second of accuracy and timing by luck!
Keep trying! Your finger has got to very very fast to hit the "Flash" in MiFlash tool in relation to the process of entering he EDL mode!
I was on China Beta 8.8.30 (ARB) and I tried miflashtool to China Stable 9.6.11.0 (Non-ARB) and my phone bricked with blank screen. Could not power on at all, and not even into the Fastboot mode.
You have to miflashtool to ARB version of China Stable 9.6.12.0 to be able to success.

Hi,
I see the com port.
It begin to flash, put then the Error: Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication.

I see. No problem.
In that case. Don't use 9.6.11.0 to miflash.
Please use the 9.6.7.0 and retry to miflash again.
9.6.7.0 should work.

I think 9.6.12 is the wright rom.
Why now 9.6.7.0.
Have you i link for me for this rom.
Is 9.6.7.0 without ARB.
Sorry for my bad english.

This is because you would probably get the same error massages as with 9.6.11.0 if you miflash to 9.6.12.0 ARB directly and even though some users might be able to miflash to 9.6.12.0 directly without the error massages
Therefore, Miflash using 9.6.7.0 Non-ARB first, and if you wanna update to 9.6.12.0 ARB. You can just do it via the Updater! This is the best and safest way to do it!
Grab the 9.6.7.0 now ...... I mean NOW!!!!!!!! before it is unlisted by Xiaomi for users to download as it is a damn old freaking rom!!!!!!!!!
UNLESS.... 9.6.7.0 failed as well! Then, you have to miflash to 9.6.12.0 directly as a last option and pray it works!

Your Mi account has been locked by Xiaomi! OMG!
If so, then. No one can help you except you taking a flight to China and take a Q number at China Xiaomi service centre..
No one is dare enough to share his Mi account with you because arb is hardware "coded" so to speak. . It can cause his Mi account to be locked by Xiaomi too using it on your Mi Max 3 . '(
For my similar case, my Mi account has not been locked by Xiaomi.

I had the same issue and i opened the phone and did the test point to enter to edl mode and flashed the chinese miui 10 stable rom , and now i have to wait 720 hours to unlock the bootloader to flash twrp and a global rom

So I just helped someone boot successfully to 10.0.1.0 global stable fastboot whose phone got bricked trying to flash 8.8.9 eu (maybe he had ARB but didn't know it). It was the black screen of death basically as noted here. TEST-POINT METHOD WAS NOT NEEDED.
Follow these steps:
1) Download Global Stable fastboot 10.0.1.0 from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...icial-recovery-fastboot-roms-mi-t3827503/amp/
2) Open MiFlashTool and navigate to 10.0.1.0 fastboot rom. At the bottom select 'Clean All Only' (do NOT select clean all and lock).
3) Hold power, volume up and volume down together for 10 seconds after plugging into PC. Your pc should detect your phone in EDL mode. Hit REFRESH button at the top of MiFlashTool and it will show up as COM XX or XXX for your USB connection. Try whichever USB port works. Then hit refresh. Then click Flash.
4) It should boot. If it doesn't and you get stuck on the Mi Recovery screen. Select Wipe Data. It should boot you back into the recovery again where you'll see Reboot, Wipe Data or Connect Using Mi Assistant. From here, get back to fastboot mode by holding Power and Volume Down together until you see the bunny fastboot screen.
5) Open or refresh MiFlashTool again and select 10.0.1.0 fastboot rom (it should remember from previous selection). At the bottom select 'Clean All Only' (do NOT select clean all and lock). Hit REFRESH button at the top and this time it will show your device number like normal instead of COM. Click Flash.
6) Phone will reboot on its own to Miui 10 Global login screen. Setup your phone from there.

There is no ARB on xiaomi.eu roms (except maybe 8.8.30 as omer919 stated).

The real brick solution by ARB, it works for mi max 3 too.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/fix-arb-bricked-device-qfil-t3841780
and this is the ARB in Mi MAX 3.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/how-to/rom-official-recovery-fastboot-roms-mi-t3827503

I had that one. Please charge up your Mobile for at least %100, lt will reboot.

[GUIDE] Convert Mi A2 to Mi 6X [MIUI 10 Oreo] [MIUI 10 Pie]

Code:
/*
* Your warranty is... still valid?
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
Hey guys, Today I am creating a Guide on How to Convert Mi A2 to Mi 6X without triggering ARB.
This guide is based on Guide by @yunusasik(Telegram : @dejavutr ) so All credit goes to Him.
First of All Download the Convert.zip from here
All files needed to be replaced have already been replaced in convert.zip.
Then, Follow the Following Steps to Flash Mi 6X Firmware on your A2
First Make Sure you already unlocked bootloader flashing and flashing critical ("fastboot flashing unlock" and "fastboot flashing unlock_critical")
1) Install Qualcomm Driver (next next next) (Also Windows update can do this trick when you plug )
2) Install QPST (use setup from the QPST Alternative folder. )
(find QFİLL on start menu or qpst installed directory), open QFİLL from start menu or opst installed folder.
3) Select Flat Build Mode
Select Programmer File prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf ( already changed no arb risk )
Select XML files rawprogram0 and patch0.xml
4) Put the phone on the edl mode
navigate to ADB Folder and Open tikla.bat, it will open command windows in that directory.
Use "fastboot oem edl" command to Enter "Emergency Download Mode ( EDL )"
Press Download
When install finish. Power up the phone.
MIUI 9 Ready to BOOT (First boot may take time you can hard reset via pressing vol up - down and power together )
5) You dont need to setup miui 9 just go fastboot again (vol down + power ( when phone closed ) )
From this section you can either install MIUI 10 (OREO) or Custom ROM ( Which one you want )
Guide will be Resume about flashing MIUI 10 ( OREO )
Flash TWRP
" fastboot flash recovery twrpwayne.img "

If twrp start chinese you can set language on that screen
6) Wipe / Advanced Wipe
7) System + Dalvik + Cache + Data + Internal
8) Flash MIUI 10(no arb).zip via adb sideload (put file into adb folder and use adb sideload MIUI 10 (no arb).zip) or put file on the
storage via mtp, if its works
" No need for gapps "
If you want root Flash Magisk.
Welcome to MIUI 10 without arb
You can use MiFlash Tool 2016 64Bit only this one works good others may stuck sometimes and risky because if you unplug when installing you have to use test point method for saving phone.
You can enable camera2api with "Camera2api enabler" on play store (ONLY MIUI 10 OREO)
If qfill installation somehow corrupt use "QPST Alternative" folder or Miflash from above
You can Download Newer MIUI Releases from here
Just make sure to delete the "firmware-update folder" using winrar etc.
-------
UPDATİNG TO MIUI 10 PIE
Download MIUI 10 PIE from here (if you are in mobile press "try download anyway" )
Open zip file and delete "Firmware Upgrade" folder from the zip (Most İmportant)
Boot into TWRP
Go Wipe / Advanced Wipe
Wipe "System + Dalvik + Cache + Data"
(Make sure you are using ext4 file system on Cache and Data partition)
Flash MIUI 10 Pie zip
Flash Hex Kernel download from here (We need this because we are not using fw update folder for updating kernel etc (because its trigger arb 4))
Flash Magisk if you want root
Reboot to system
Welcome to MIUI 10 Pie
You can check new mıuı eu updates from here.
For enabling camera2api on MIUI 10 Pie you have to edit build prop download this application from play store

2. Flash the zip from here via TWRP.
3. Reboot
------
Convert Back to A2
Download latest a2 stock rom.
Put phone to edl mode again (fastboot oem edl)
Flash stock rom via QFİLL with same method (Select .ddr and xml files from stock rom folder) and power up.
Done.
(If you have wifi camera or splash screen problems. Flash stockrom with miflash on fastboot (vol down + power ) again.)
(Alternative) You can use MiFlash Tool 2016 64Bit to convert back.
Select A2 stock rom folder.
Put phone to edl mode (fastboot oem edl).
Flash Rom when its done, power up the phone to fastboot (vol down + power ) and flash rom again. (for solving any camera wifi etc issue)
FAQ
Is there any alternative to this twrp ?
- Yes you can use alternatives, this one my fav.
Is there any alternative to this kernel ?

[MI A2/MI 6X] How to flash without edl Authentication and get latest pie beta cn

Salve! As you may know, Xiaomi enabled ARB (Anti-Roll Back) for Mi 6X starting with MIUI 10. It means that if you try to downgrade from MIUI 10 to MIUI 9, your device will enter in a brick EDL state and the only way to recover it is to send it to Xiaomi or flash it using MiFlash and an Authorized Account. Now if you are like me and have a locked bootloader in a converted a2 to 6x wayne then the only way is testpoint and even if your device has an unlocked bootloader doing fastboot oem edl is very unlikely to work
Now, as I read here on XDA, there are some people who managed to brick their device by triggering the ARB when they converted the Mi A2 to Mi 6X to test MIUI. So if you flashed MIUI 10 and didn't deleted firmware-update from the .zip file, you triggered the ARB. If you tried to flash MIUI 9 or stock Mi A2 ROM, you managed to brick your device and it stays in an EDL state (Qualcomm 9008). You SIMPLY CANNOT rollback to Android One yet until they introduce ARB to that device too but you can revive your device very easy with test point but no need for Mi Authorized Account. Sorry it has to be this way but this is the only way took me about 8 times to try and finally someone showed me this file which helped
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1wAqlpmxMdZpibzPBuyBEwOY9ggcifAdd - This has everything include including the xiaomiflash no patched files are required as they have already been modified to bypass edl authentication i would also turn your wifi off whilst flashing this as thats what worked for me..weird eh?
Credits go to Sunchai - Admin of Mi Max Thailand for creating this amazing bypass

These are screenshots of everything working so yeah , also if you are a2 user converted when you install the pie beta via the older beta version enhance lowlight photo automatically is fixed

My device is mi 6x and arb var : 4, unlocked bootloader. Currently I'm using havoc rom. Is this possible to go back to official china dev rom without bricking the device?

You're are saying to try fastboot oem edl first, if it doesn't work then open device and use test point, right?

If you open up the device two pin it and install everything specific to that folder including version of xiaomiflash etc, this could help save you from the brick

[Rom][9.0] Android One for MI CC9e ported from MI A3

Hey guys,
The Xiaomi Mi A3 (laurel_sprout) is exactly the Xiaomi Mi CC9e (laurus) with the only difference being the Mi CC9e runs MIUI while the Mi A3 runs on stock Android.
Thanks to Project Treble developed by Google, the two devices now have the ability of converting to each other. In previous versions of Android, devices that didn't support A/B updates could mount the system image under the /system directory. In Android Pie, the root of the system image is mounted as the root of the device.
Xiaomi Mi CC9e has been used the partition layout called "system-as-root" which means we could flash a A/B system image into it, while Xiaomi Mi A3 has been used typical A/B slot partition layout.
Now let's get rid of MIUI and experience stock Android One based on Android Pie.
Steps:
0. Make sure you have done the three things below.
Your device is Xiaomi Mi CC9e (laurus).
The bootloader of your devices has been unlocked.
The "Find My Phone" function has been disabled.
1. Flash China Developer Edition MIUI
No matter which version of MIUI your device is running, download the latest official China Developer Edition MIUI and update to it. This will update your device firmware.
Full-OTA Rom Download Link (China Developer Edition 20.1.16)
Download the zip file to /sdcard/Download folder, make sure you have already backup important data, make sure you have login MIUI account.
Open Settings-My Device-MIUI version, click the MIUI logo for 5 times, then click the icon in upper right corner, choose "Update from local rom" (or a similar description), locate to /sdcard/Download folder and choose your downloaded rom. The device will update automatically to China Developer Edition MIUI.
2. Flash TWRP Recovery
Download Android SDK Platform-Tools from official Google website or Google Drive. Extract to a folder that does not contain Chinese characters in the path.
Download TWRP Recovery for Xiaomi Mi CC9e from Google Drive, copy to the same folder as above.
Thanks to TWRP Developer: wzsx150
Fully shutdown your Xiaomi Mi CC9e and hold the power and volume - keys simultaneously until you see a fastboot logo on the screen, then connect your phone to the computer.
Open your Windows CMD or Windows Powershell or Linux Terminal or macOS Terminal, use cd command to locate to your extraction folder.
First, type the code below to detect your devices connected to the computer.
Code:
fastboot devices
Then, type the code below to flash TWRP Recovery to your Xiaomi Mi CC9e.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Recovery_for_laurus.img
Then, hold the volume + button and type the code below to reboot to recovery.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Maybe you will see the logo of TWRP Recovery twice, don't worry, just hold the volume + button until you see some blocks. Then click the block named "清除" (Clear) then "清除 Data 数据" (Clear Data), type "yes" and slide to clean your data partition.
Then, type the code below to reboot to recovery.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
3. Flash Xiaomi.eu Rom
You can change the language of the TWRP Recovery in the menu named "设置" (Settings) or you can just follow my steps if you don't understand Chinese.
You'd better download the same version of Xiaomi.eu Rom as the China Developer Edition MIUI you have flashed before.
Xiaomi.eu Developer Edition Rom Download Link
Example:
You have flashed China Developer Edition MIUI 20.1.16 in step 1, so you need to download the same version of Xiaomi.eu Rom from here.
Download the zip file to your computer, make sure you have already backup important data of your Xiaomi Mi CC9e.
Transfer the zip file to the phone, then click "安装" (Install) of the TWRP Recovery from the phone, find the zip file you just transferd and click it, silde to flash the Xiaomi.eu Rom.
Don't reboot or shutdown! Just continue.
4. Flash Xiaomi Mi A3 Official Rom
Download Payload_Dumper to the computer and extract to a folder that does not contain Chinese characters in the path.
Download the latest Xiaomi Mi A3 official rom to the computer, extract the payload.bin file to folder named "payload_input" of the extraction folder above.
Full-OTA Rom Download Link (Global Edition V10.3.13.0) (January 2020 Security Patch)
Run payload_dumper.exe until the command window close automatically, copy system.img from the folder named "payload_output" and transfer to the phone.
Click the button named "清除" (Clear) of the TWRP Recovery, just slide to clear data and cache partition, then click "安装" (Install) then "刷入 Image", choose the system.img you have just transfered, select the "System 镜像" (System Image) option, then slide to flash.
After flash system image, click the button named "清除" (Clear) of the TWRP Recovery, just slide to clear data and cache partition.
Don't reboot or shutdown! Just continue.
5. Flash Magisk
You HAVE TO flash Magisk to successfully boot.
Download Magisk V19.4 from official GitHub Release Page, transfer to the phone.
Click "安装" (Install) of the TWRP Recovery from the phone, find the zip file you just transferd and click it, silde to flash Magisk.
DON'T flash Magisk V20.x ! You won't boot successfully.
If you want, you can clear the cache and dalvik cache partition, but DON'T clear data partition after flashing Magisk.
6. Reboot to system
Enjoy your Android One!

Quite inspring. A good way to get newer security patch by flashing MIUI EU first.

thanks bro. yohuu. I got it

Can't see your tutorial code

The brushing was successful, but the minimum brightness is very bright. Glare. The video player cannot adjust the brightness.

TWRP bootloop
Hello!
First of all, thanks for doing the hard work to make this tutorial.
Unfortunately my phone got stuck in a TWRP bootloop at the last stage of the process and I can't get out of it!
Things that were successful when I followed the steps in the tutorial:
unlock/installing twrp/installing Chinese ROM (20.1.16)/ installing 20.1.16 eu ROM (this successfully booted)
BUT since I installed Android One 10.3.13 (LaurelSprout Global) (no errors - I did follow the extraction of system.img process)), and then Magisk 19.4 (no errors) my phone has been stuck in TWRP boot loop. Each time the device is booted it goes direct to TWRP. Please help!
THINGS I've tried:
Flashing the EU and China MIUI roms (20.1.16). Still won't boot.
I've tried using Magisk uninstall. I've done factory reset multiple times, and wiped data etc. No luck.
I also (perhaps stupidly) wiped the System partition at one point.
OTHER info: FastBOOT can be booted with the button combo.
but ADB doesn't find my device.
Can someone please help me return to a working android image?
UPDATE:
I managed to restore my phone using MiFlash to flash the FASTBOOT China stock system image (V11.0.2.0) from flashxiaomi dot com.
At the time the phone was stuck in a Fastboot loop ( I couldn't get into TWRP anymore), and periodically it would automatically reboot and go straight back into fastboot.
I'm back to where I started now. May try this process again soon.

Daily Driver?
Is anyone successful? Is it OK to use it as a daily driver?

Still works? As of June 6th. Thanks in advance

Hello, is that method still work?
Can I get system updates , educate me how to get update after doing this methods.

Hello, I changed my CC9E ROM to Mi A3 via this method, how to upgrade from Android 9 to Android 11. Thanks.

Can i install custom rom of Mi A3 with this way ? Or can i found CC9e Rom in somewhere ? I want install Pixel experiment

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G - Phone currently stuck in Mi-Recovery loop

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
