Phone bricked ?

Hi guys,
Today I tried to flash a stock rom but my phone won't boot in recovery,
After several trys, I runned the command Fastboot oem device-info and it says that my bootloader was locked,
Or I unlocked it as soon as I received my OPT and since one hour it won't stop rebooting in bootloader (after lunching the command fastbood oem unlock, it says "OKAY")
What do you guys think I can do ? Should I just pack it and send it to OnePlus ? Or there is a way to fix this problem ? All I can do is access to the Fastboot Mode but my Bootloader seems locked... :'(
Thanks for you help !

Many thanks to you it worked !

How did you guys get your phone into this (QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics 9006) mode in the device Manager? I only see "QHSUSB_BULK"... Bootloader locked and I won't get into the recovery mode. I only get bootloop.

Hold the power key for 20 seconds to force turn off power. connect OPT to usb, hold volume+ and power until your PC finds a new hardware (if it doesn't work, try hold volume+ and volume- together.
It is step #2 in that guide.

You have to random push Vol+ or/and Vol- to get a black screen instead of Fastboot screen during the bootloop.

Thank you guys! It finally worked. Like you said, I had to kind of randomly and really long push the + , - & power button!

EDL mode

EDL (Emergency Download) Mode has been removed/ disable from MIUI 8.1 onwards and Redmi 4A later Xiaomi devices. So you can flash MIUI Fastboot ROMs on your device by using Fastboot mode only, if your bootloader is unlocked. And, we can't use Qualcomm Jig Cable(s) also now.
So, we have only one way to know Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port from PC. It's Test Point Method. This method will work with every MIUI ROMs (Upgrade/ Downgrade) , Locked Bootloader/ Unlocked Bootloader and also work to recover from a Dead boot device (Bricked).
While touching these two points with a metal tweezers plugin the usb cable to the phone and PC will make the phone enter edl mode. You can then release the tweezers.

Bro edl mode is not removed. It's just moved to fastboot. You can enter edl easily by "fastboot oem edl" command. Hope this helped :laugh:

Thanks for the explanation, in any case tere can be situations that fastboot it's not available, hard but possible, in that case that info is helpful...

In any case, the bootloader muz be unlocked to initiate EDL using ADB fastboot..

What makes you think I'm so lame as well. I have used this command and flashed my mi max 2 with fastboot rom. Tho I don't remember if bootloader was locked or unlocked. Probably it was unlocked. But still no issues as anyone can unlock thier bootloader officially.

i wasnt intended at you. it seems they forgot some ways when they first deployed the edl blocking access but with the most recent "roms" they have blocked every access way to edl when bootloader is locked : adb, fastboot & cable
the only way left is from internal pins, but we can expect they will hide them even better on new phones.
Today it's much worth to wait 72h (+30days if you just already unlocked another one today) than opening the models that have "non removable" batteries and risking to leave traces/damages
it's really a shame that xiaomi lock their phone this way, it's a very bad message at the users (fastboot is so much restricted that you cant even switch between stable&dev anymore with locked bootloader) but we still have the chance that they allow unlocking and that this unlocking is a real one allowing full control

Fastboot rom isn't needed untill we brick our device and we can't brick the device untill we have unlocked bootloader. So basically edl mode will work when it's really needed.

It doesn't work for my MM2. Got it since 4/12/17. Didn't know i need to login to mi acc to register my device, set usb debugging, developer's mode, unlock status...I had the phone for less than 2 hrs after updating to MIUI 9 from ver 8 (using the updater app) before it suddenly froze up, crashed and went into bootloop. I tried contacting xiaomi svc ctr but those clowns refused to help saying my device is china export.
I cldn't even get them to help me register my device on my mi acc using the imei & s/n info. So if anyone could offer some suggestions as to how I could ressurrect my phone, I wld be most grateful. Failing which the only avenue is to bring it to a svc ctr in China to get them fix it.

My test points don't seem to work
I opened up my mi max2 and followed the steps to short the testpoints but my pc doesn't seem to pick up the Qualcomm device.
Anyway to trigger the thing so that the Qualcomm device can be detected?

I managed to short the test points and got the Qualcomm HSB device on the device mgr, flashed the mi max2 with the latest global stable (V9.2.1) rom. But the phone is still stuck at the Android logo with 3 dots...
I wld have thought EDL flashing wld have wiped out everything on the phone and start afresh?
I am now thinking of formatting the entire phone and reflashing it again. How wld I do that?
Thanks for any inputs.

Hi, Does EDL with test point flashing refresh the boot partitions?
I have shorted the test points and successfully reflash the phone with the latest stable global ROMs (even back to MIUI 8.5.6) but just couldn't get the phone past the MI/Android logo after restarting it
If the boot partition files have been messed up and EDL flashing is not refreshing these files, no matter how many times I try to EDL flash the device, it's not going to help. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
Any other options I can try?

stuck in boot loop no recovery locked bootloader no adb access just fastboot

hi
someone gave me this broken phone so i don't know what happened to get it to this point
here's the breakdown of what it's doing and what i've tried
it's a sprint variant
bootloader ver mata-8a1a76e
baseband ver 2.0.c4-m2.0.2
secure boot yes
device state locked
no power and won't turn on unless connected with a usb cable to laptop or charger but when connected stays on until unplugged
i've tried multiple cables
stuck in boot loop on powered by android screen
with vol up and power just boot loops back to the powered by android screen like there is no recovery
with vol down and power boots into fastboot mode and is visible in simple adb under the fastboot tab i'm able to see the serial number but not under the adb tab there's no devices listed
when i try to use erase or flash commands it says cannot be done in a locked state which tells me the bootloader is locked and the oem and usb debug is not turned on
it says the active slot is b but won't let me change slots because of locked statues
is there anyway to turn on oem unlock and usb debug with it not booting i've tried all of the flashing unlock bootloader commands in simple adb's fastboot tab but nothing is working i can see and talk to the phone with fastboot but because of locked bootloader i can't do anything.
any help would be great it's not important it's just a phone to play around with abd and roms to see what i can do and try to teach myself somethings but it was stock the guy that gave it to me dosen't know anything about phones he dropped it and broke the touch screen and just got another one
so if anyone could point me in the right direction or tell me if it's possible to get oem unlock and usb debug turned on in a non booting no adb connection but fastboot connectable phone with no bootable recovery
if you need anymore info just let me know
thanks in advance

Hi, were you able to fix this issue?
I have the same exact problem here, its been few months actually, but still trying to figure this out.

download the offical firmware images and flash with fastboot
bootloader lock has not effect on flashing stock firmware or whatever slot its on

Are you sure of that? Because Essential specifically instructs to enable "OEM Unlocking" and unlock the BL before flashing the factory image via fastboot...

You cannot use fastboot with a locked bootloader .. it is the Essential way...

How to access my android phones data with only fastboot mode access and no developer

Hello,
I have an Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 device. Few hours back, it shutdown suddenly:crying: and i cannot reboot it. What all i tried are:
1) When i try to Restart, it shuts down after showing asus logo.
2) When i try to access Recovery Mode by pressing Volume Down and Power Button, it shuts down after showing asus logo.
3) I can Only Access CSC FASTBOOT MODE. But no Developer options enabled.
NB: Please note that Developer options is disabled and usb debugging is OFF.:crying:
All tutorials on web says i need to reinstall rom for wich i need to unlock bootloader which will eventually delete my data.
Can someone help me on how i can get my datas back in this situation?

You can't unlock bootloader until you enable OEM unlock in developer options, so there is no method to get your data. You need to wipe

Same problem.... not able to unlock bootloader
Also fastboot rom,qfill failed to repair this problem

Having the same problem. Did anyone figured out what the issue might be or how to proceed? If I would lose the phone, it'll hurt, but not critical. But at least the data ...
Thank you
