Installing twrp with locked bootloader

I found a way to install twrp on my mi max with locked bootloader using EDL mode.
NB! This will reformat the phone so you should take a backup if you got something you want to keep on the phone.
NB! DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!
To get into EDL mode I followed thi guide:
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-put-mi-max-into-edl-mode/
I turned off the phone and pushed vol+and- and connected the usb to the PC.
Then I installed the qualcom drivers I found here:
http://xiaomitips.com/download/qualcomm-qdloader-usb-drivers/
In device manger update the drivers that has name QHSUSB_BULK when the phone is in EDL-mode with the quallcomm-drivers
The driver should be installed and you can see added in Ports as Qualcomm HS-USB
I downloaded a fastbootimage
http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.6.23/hydrogen_images_6.6.23_20160523.0000.23_6.0_cn_5ab5ac0aba.tgz
I also downladed twrp:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-touch-recovery-t3388073
I used 7zip to unpack fastbootimage.
Inside I found the folder with images and a recovery.img file. I renamed twrp file to recovery.img and replaced the one in images.
I then used miflasher and flashed the fastbootimage using clean option.
The flasher I used: can be found here:
http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
On flasher program the device should be recognized as COMXX when the Qualcomm drivers.
If the device id is a hexnumber and not COM10 the flashing in EDL mode will not work.
After flashing I diconnected the phone from pc and rebooted into recovery "power and vol+"
Now I had TWRP and could wipe and install ROMS etc.
I installed the ROM I found here
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-6-23.32335/
This was a much better ROM than the china-rom

Nice... Did your bootloader get unlocked after you flashed the eu global ROM?

Its still locked, but as you got twrp it really doesn't matter

I've got a little problem. At the moment I'm in a bootloop. No access to ROM and bootloader is still locked.
Could you describe how exactly you flashed the ROM? After you replaced the recovery, did you pack in again? And whats the "clean option"? By MiSuite or by MiFlasher?
Because in my case MiFlasher does not work saying "critical partition flashing is not allowed"...bootloader locked.
Do you think I can install Cyanogenmod for Max by your method?
Thank you very much in advance!!

You use the Miflasher when telephone is in EDL-mode. I used http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
I didn't pack the ROM again. I had to browse into the catalog with the flasher which has files like flash.all
I see no reason why a Cyanogenmod for max shouldn't work as long at you flash it with twrp

Okay I did not know about this third Tool. I will try it when I am at home in the evening. Thank you very much!!

My flashing starts and stops after 1 second saying success. But it did not change anything. My phone is detected and I've done everything you said. I don't get it working

tried this, did not work for me ;( - Max Helium 3gb/64gb
After booting to recovery from the off-button menu i just got that regular old recovery screen (a phone with a plug connecting)

same for me!

Did the flashing give you the developer version of miui?
I don't know if it has something to say. I had the oem unlock option set in developer section on settings.
Are you sure the phone stayed in EDL mode and not in Fastboot? A black screen with a little mi icon
Or that the recovery.img was really swapped with the twrp?
It worked on 2 phones I tried.

Doesn't look like it flash with EDL and qualcom drivers. Does it says device is a com port in the flasher utility?
I found this that might help. I had enabled usb debugging:
Be sure to Enable USB Debugging:-
Go to About phone > tap MIUI version at least 7 times to activate the Developer options. Go to Additional settings > Developer options > USB debugging > Enable it.
Before proceeding: Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 7/8/10 64-Bit
USB Data cable from your set.
Battery is charged at least 50%.

Could you send me the link to the correct drivers? I use Universal ADB Drivers and in ADB I can see my device as "sideload ...."
But in the XiamiFlash Tool I can not see it in EDL, only in Fastbootmode.
_____
in fastboot mode it's recognized and starts flashing, and it says success. But the ROM is not changed.
Do you really mean
-launch XiaoMiFlash (Beta)
-Then connect Max in EDL Mode (Phone with usb plug on display)
-then it should be recognized?? (because in my case it's not...)
_______
I don't have access to my ROM after an update...it's just ridiculous.

You need the qualcomm drivers
https://goo.gl/CPa5jd
To install the drivers follow this guide when connected in edl-mode:
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
Follow point 5 and in point 6 use the drivers you have downloaded

There is no need to flash the entire partition set to install TWRP. It is enough to flash a single "recovery" partition using edited rawprogram0.xml, removing all partitions except "recovery" and either specifying TWRP image file name in "filename=" or renaming TWRP image file to "recovery.img".
patch0.xml must be edited too to remove all "<patch>" tags.
Additionally, flashing a modified "boot" image may be required.

I managed to flash it with the new XiaomiFlasher Beta. My phone is running fine on CM 13 now! Thank you!

After I flash using EDL, for some reason, free space reported is only 8 GB, instead of 24 GB

I had the same problem with 64gb version.
In twrp go to wipe
Click option to delete data partition
It will tell you all data will be deleted and encryption disabled.
After data partition gets deleted twrp will report proper internal space, and ROM will also report proper internal space.
Be sure to backup everything before.

Thanks, it worked. I thought the partitioning got corrupted after I flashed using EDL. Glad TWRP was able to provide a quick fix

I got this working on my Helium 64gb Mi Max.
Please note that the instructions above is for the 32gb Hydrogen Mi Max. What I did differently is to get the recovery.img out of a Helium image.

Thanks for suggestion. But the reasons​ are
First thing is stock raw image of latest version is very difficult to find.
Second thing sometime asus flash tool stops responding. So you have to wait again for 30 minutes. Also it doesn't show progress sometimes.

I have the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML with sound issues, (it's only when the phone rings that the speaker works) and I put it into recovery mode to wipe cache/data, but it got stuck while doing that and I forced it off. But now, it's stuck at the Asus Boot logo with the rotating icon underneath.
Please help!!!!

Hello, my 551ml has stock LP, it's rooted with bootloader unlocked and Xposed installed. If I want to install the latest MM with through the raw flashing tool, should I install the MM bootloader first or it is included into the raw file? Thank

Redmi Pro stuck in bootloop - desperate to save data

Hi All -
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Pro(mediatek) with unlocked bootloader and running Xiaomi EU Rom (Android 6). I bought the phone in May so it is a relatively new phone.I turned off my phone on a flight and it has never booted back after that. It is stuck in a boot loop. It has some very recent pics and videos of my 8 months old daughter that I desperately want to save. Thre is no SD card in the phone. However, I cannot get the phone to boot in recovery etc. I have tried TWRP. It flashes okay but does not reboot in recovery. Is is either stuck in a bootloop or fastboot screen. Can you lovely people please suggest how to fix this? Can I install china developer rom using mi flash tool and selecting save user data? At this moment, my absolute priority is to save the photographs./videos. Many Thanks.

Axon 7 (A2017G) Brick.

I had stock android 7, used the toolkit, "Unlocked" the bootloader, after that there was a part with erasing all data to factory due to an error, something along the lines there was a pin or password detected, and after I pressed reset the screen went black, and when it tries to boot it shows ZTE for a second and then it vibrates and shuts off instantly. So I can get it in to edl mode and I see the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in my devices, but I can't find any thread to fix this. Tried flashing stock firmwares via MiFlash, no luck. And the thing is, most roms I download give me a batch of files in a zip, if I put them in a folder and try to flash I get this - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Help asap, because I am having a horrible time using my partially destroyed S6 Edge Plus. If I spelled smth wrong sorry, Russian here.

This is what I had - My device is stuck on an 'Enter your password to start Android' screen.
Unfortunately this requires a factory reset.
1) Boot your device into recovery mode by pressing and holding the power and volume up buttons for 10-15 seconds.
2) Stock Recovery: Use the volume down key to go down to 'Wipe data/factory reset' and press power to select. Press the volume down key again to go down to 'Yes' and press power to select.
TWRP Recovery: Tap "Wipe" < Tap "Advanced Wipe" < Check the box next to "data" < Tap "Repair or change file system" < Tap "EXT4" < Swipe to confirm.
3) Reboot your device.

I had a similar problem on my 2017U model after flashing a .zip that was supposed to remove the "bootloader is unlocked" screen that shows up after you unlock the bootloader. Long story short, the .zip wasn't meant for U models. Only G. So my phone was in a worse situation than yours and would not power on. You'll need to download an EDL recovery firmware .zip for your phone and place it within the toolkits folders manually and then go through the steps of the toolkit which I'll try to help you do.
First, download the full stock B09 (G) firmware from here. You can OTA update to the latest firmware after a successful flash. It's okay to flash an older firmware in this situation.
Once done, navigate to C:\Axon7Development\Axon7Toolkit\MiFlash\B09\ (copy/move the full .zip of the B09 firmware you downloaded in the first step into this folder) If the B09 folder doesn't exist under \MiFlash, create it manually.
Run the toolkit again from the start and type 11 "RESTORE TO STOCK/RECOVER FROM HARDBRICK (EDL)" and hit enter. On the next screen type in the number that will restore B09. It should tell you how to put the phone in EDL mode and automatically open MiFlash. Make sure to follow the steps and paste the directory path of the firmware in the top bar in MiFlash. After you pasted it his Flash and it should successfully flash the firmware. If it gives you an error or times out, unplug the phone and try a different USB port or USB cable. It's obviously recommended you use the one that came with the phone. My first attempt at MiFlash timed out and didn't flash anything. I tried a different USB port and then it flashed.
After it flashes the firmware, leave the phone plugged in and hold down the power button for about 10 seconds until it restarts out of EDL. From there you should have a working phone again with some exceptions. It'll be on an older firmware so I would recommend booting into stock recovery and factory resetting data and wiping your cache. Then restart the phone and do an OTA update to the latest firmware. After you reach the latest firmware you can then use the toolkit for whatever you need.
Sidenote, your English is very good considering you're Russian. No need to apologize because your post had no spelling errors. :highfive:

I haven't read what the other guy said, but basically you have to use miflash. just use my DFU unbrick guide but from the point where you short the testpad to enter EDL. But instead of opening the phone just put it in edl via adb reboot edl or holding vol+ - and inserting the cable

Did you create the B09 folder in the MiFlash directory? I also had errors downloading firmwares through the toolkit, which is why I had to do it manually and move the firmware into the proper directory for the toolkit.

After I unlocked the bootloader via the toolkit by bkores, I get a message "To start android enter your password" even though it was a stock system with no password. Like I got every possible error and solved it and now this, just why?

that's totally normal. Your internal storage is encrypted, you have to go into TWRP and format data (not wipe, format). Anyways by unlocking you lose all of your data so it's not like you lose anything
If it doesn't work, then you'll have to change the data partition's filesystem because it may be in F2FS. Change it back to ext4 if that happens

I don't have TWRP, firs I Unlocked the bootloader, now I try to flash TWRP and get error due to the force encryption on Nougat, and I can't find a way to disable it, also now when I try to boot to stock recovery the led flashes for a milisecond and powers off.

WOW, damn...
Dude have you still EliteTWRP inside ??
If yes consider to use 3.1.1-1 instead of 3.2.x.x, because of the issues...
If not this is very strange..
If problem still persist backup all your stuff and do a factory reset.
Good luck dude

Factory reset coming up lol..
@ Dadditz, Thanks for responses.

No kind of problems.
Remember that you can not do the updates with a custom recovery, you need the stock one.
Happy holidays and good luck.

Dude it was simpler than what you imagined.
In fact it was only necessary tap on WIPE
and then SWIPE for factory reset as you can see in the attachments....
Wich firmware you putted in dload folder ??
What happen if you turn off and try to reboot holding vol+ and power button ??

If I reboot holding volume+ and power I get
EMUI
Reboot system now
Wipedata/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
And in dload folder I put full service update file.
I really did something wrong cause no matter how many times I try I still have incomplete firmware, not even keyboard

Dude why you done wipes instead of factory reset, these are two different things, very different...
You understand you erased all partitions and tried to recover by dload method
furthermore with a completely wrong firmware.
You were on VNS-L31C02B346 vodafone branded firmware
and tried to flash VNS-L31C185B384 unbranded nord african / middle east region firmware.
I can guarantee you that it would never work this way.
Now you f**k*d up your device.
Unbrick is not too difficult but you have to work hard,
and literally follow the guides i tell or suggest.
First thing be sure it's detected connecting to your PC and grant needed permissions.
Second, reboot to bootloader and see how Bootloader and FRP states are.
Report these basic info to proceed.
Will advice you my methods are based on personal experiences
and i cannot guarantee nothing, you assume all responsibility
of what are happening on your device, after all it is in your hands not in mine.
Good luck dude.

Bootloader and FRP unlocked.

Find a way to backup all your stuff and unlock again bootloader.
This will factory reset again your device.
Download and install via fastboot EliteTWRP 3.1.1-1....
Reply me when you're this step.
Dude if something donot take correct way you will only use your device as a paper clip
so ask before if you are not sure what you're doing...

Paper clip you say lmao
OK all backed up and all Unlocked, flashed EliteTWRP 3.2.1.0??

Ok, let's do the work...
With a PC create a folder on your desktop and rename as you want, may choose VNS-L31C02B346.
Download from official thread Huawei Recovery Updater v.04 and put into that folder.
Just add EliteTWRP 3.1.1-1 or whatever recovery you want ( must be for nougat/android 7 )
in order to keep custom recovery otherwise stock one will be flashed.
Now download these three .zip files
update (.zip)
update_data_full_public (.zip)
update_full_VNS-L11_vodafone_default (.zip)
on your PC and rename update_data_full_public to update_data_public
and update_full_VNS-L11_vodafone_default to update_all_hw.
Copy these renamed files into your folder together with Huawei Recovery Updater and EliteTWRP recovery.
Check that everything matches.

Hi
OK, you're ready to flash.
Copy your folder into SD card and reboot to recovery.
Tap install then find your folder, open it, tap on
HuRUpdater_0.4 then swipe for flashing.
Follow procedure into the flasher.
At the end it will reboot to system.
Probably at boot you will see some red lines, don't worry...
Press power button to skip and boot into system.
It should take many minutes, keep calm....
Do basic settings ( without any accounts ), enable developer options, then allow oem unlock and usb debugging.
Make sure your PC recognizes the phone ( let's HiSuite be installed ).
Turn off the device, connect it to your PC, and unlock again the bootloader...
Hope all will take right way and at the end
will have your latest working system ( VNS-L31C02B346 )
and EliteTWRP recovery ( if you added it in your folder )
