You tried to install a factory stock ROM with twrp recovery? I should read some more threads before you start flashing ROMs. You can only flash factory stock ROMs with your PC and fastboot/adb drivers installed and software like rsd lite.

[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

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

Worked like a magic. I can confirm for sure. Was stuck at HS USB 900E with locked bootloader.

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.

What were you doing when it bricked?
Go to service center. They will repair it

QFIL cannot do a thing ..... all the eror i get is unable to go to EDl mode......
nothing for me except download mode and fastboot......
so toook to service centre and got it repaired for free in 2hrs

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

Flashing original firmware

Hi, Can somebody tell me if its necessary to unlock the bootloader before flashing the official firmware. My device is not rooted and has a locked bootloader but as I wanted to flash the original firmware to refresh it, I was wondering if I can do it without unlocking the bootloader.
Thanks in advance.
Check this thread for EDL Mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292. Reboot to EDL Mode and flash using MI Flash Tool. This flashing not reuqires bootloader unlock.

Sorry but that is not correct, the A1 uses just fastboot, we don't use EDL.
Anyway just follow this guide

You just need to install miFlash or use fastboot commands if your more advanced, reboot to bootloader

is it possible to unlock fastboot on an LG K8 2017

Hello
When I go to fastboot mode on my LG K8 it just reboots my phone, i read up that the fastboot mode needs to be unlocked because LG has made fastboot mode so locked down i can't get to it
How so I unlock fastboot so I can flash a custom recovery?
It really doesnt matter if i softbrick my phone because i can just restore the firmware

Difference between ZIP firmware and Fastboot firmware?

Hi,what's the difference between normal rom and fastboot rom?

You flash the fastboot rom through fastboot by using mi flash tool. You flash normal rom through TWRP.
Zip is for Recovery (that's why it's called Recovery firmware/rom) and Fastboot firmware/rom is for MiFlash.
Edit: @Zenkrey was faster
Thanx! you really helped me
