Ok guys here is the step by step even for noobs how to unbrick Xiaomi Mi Max (helium).

If you have access to fastboot jump to step 11

Requirements :

* MiFlash Beta :Download Here

* MiFlash 20151028 : Download Here

* Global Fastboot Rom : Download Here

* Xiaomi Qualcomm Drivers

* Screw and tools.

* Paper clip or cable

* For sure Usb Cable.

Now if you all ready lets continue repair. First of all you need to open back cover.

1) Open Back cover and disconnect fingerprint sensor and battery. Dont connect battery till you finish whole process. (How to disassemble video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMG04GqVU_0&t=64s)

2) Make a paper clip to setup short circuit in your mainboard. Here are the testpoints. https://s15.postimg.org/s0j0qhq3v/Xiaomi_Max_Test_Points.png

3) Ok here is the hardest and trickiest one. While you are holding paper clip or cable with those testpoint you need to connect phone to pc. My suggestion 1st connect usb cable to phone then make short circuit then connect to pc.

* One more time you need to connect phone to pc while those two testpoints connected to eachother with a paperclip or a cable.

4) Here is the second tricky part. Unzip rom file. Important part is the name of folder. Please try to make it as short as possible.

Ex : C:\mimax\

So after extraction your folder will looks like this : http://oi63.tinypic.com/334rr11.jpg

5) You need to install both MiFlash versions. They are 2 different software so you shouldnt see any errors like "it is already installed".

6) Go To C:\XiaoMi\XiaoMiFlash and run XiaoMiFlash.exe as an administrator. Click browse and choose your rom folder. NOT IMAGES FOLDER ROM FOLDER !!!! ( Ex : C:\mimax)

7) Click "refresh" you will see COM port and click "flash" If you dont see any COM port here first check if you installed drivers correctly. If drivers are installed correct please go back to step 3 and try again.

8) Install will start and continue and %99 possibly it will stop in the middle You will receive Max buffer 256 error. No worries just keep calm and take deep breath. Go to next step

9) Disconnect usb cable from pc and phone. Reconnect battery. Now voila phone will ready to work BUT NOT READY TO WORK FLAWLESS. So now put your phone to fastboot mode. Yes you read correct now your phone will be in fastboot mode even it could be ready to use but just wait for next step.

10) Fastboot mode : Volume Down + Power button you will see fastboot screen and connect to PC.

11) Now close old MiFlash and run the normal one from either desktop or C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiaomi\MiPhone\MiFlash.exe or C:\Program Files\Xiaomi\MiPhone\MiFlash.exe.

12) Choose your rom folder. NOT IMAGES FOLDER ROM FOLDER !!!! ( Ex : C:\mimax).

13) Click "refresh" and this time you have to see device serial number on device tab. Now click flash and let process finish. It takes around 3-5 minute and phone will reboot by itself.

Now re-assemble your phone. DONT FORGET TO CONNECT FINGERPRINT SENSOR. Now you are totally ready.

Tried 5 times with my very own Xiaomi Mi Max 128 GB.

Hi,

My device could still boot on fastboot mode, and flashes successfully through it on MiFlash Beta. However, the device remains stuck on Mi logo. I've already tested flashing on EDL mode apparently successfully, with the same results. I've flashed TWRP, but the device don't enter recovery mode. What can I do? Any suggestion will be welcome.

This is why XDA is a great FORUM! Thank you for writing this thorough solution!

My device is up and running currently with MIUI 8! It went from a dead brick to a productive device again! I was almost giving up hope! You saved the day! It was a lot of work, but it is great seeing the device alive again. :)

I would just add that taking the cover off doesn't even need a tool like in the original disassembly youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dULcMWCEgEc

Yay! :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Can you kindly explain some tips or secret to get unbrick cause mine is more than 4 months almost totally dead, just receive charge the battery but any signal of life in display, don´t enter recovery, fastboot, in mode EDL pc identifies like hs-usb qdownload 9008 but in 4 or 5 seconds cut conection with pc. and in my country nobody knows about Xiaomi. thanks in advance

Hi [MENTION=7644154]SubwayChamp[/MENTION] Everything I did was in the post and video from above in the first post by benz....

His instructions were perfect along with the youtube video. It's tricky, true, but with patience you can go through the steps and get your device running again. I was so glad that [MENTION=6411087]Qulox[/MENTION] gave me this link to this thread.

As you go through the steps, if you get stuck, we can try to give you advice.

This works for Hydrogen as well.

Many thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] harpy.eagle:
I have two dead mi max. One 128gb helium and one 32gb hydrogen.

128gb helium is completely lifeless. No charging led, no vibrations, no fastboot mode. Though i could bring it up to edl mode showing right qualcomm device in device manager. I tried flashing stock rom as mentioned in this guide which rather went successful without giving any error, even while battery connector was removed.

But mobile is still in same lifeless condition. Other than flashing process going through, it didnt make any difference. Dont know whats wrong. Also i didnt have to use two miflash versions as mentioned in steps as flashing process didnt give any error.

32gb hydrogen, boots up in flashboot mode, shows charging led, mi logo even edl model worked without any issue. It even boots up, but gives error of encryption unsuccessful asking me to reset device. I tried factory reseting it. Tried flashing twrp and wiping, formatting data, changing file system to all formats like fat, f2fs, ext1, ext2, ext3, ext4. Tried flashing crdoid and RR based on orea. Nothing working.

With twrp it keeps bootlooping showing mi logo. And with stock rom, recovery shows up encryption error. Followed procedure mentioned in this guide as well.

Is there anything am i missing or can do? Btw, bootloader is locked for both the devices. I could flash twrp referring another guide which suggested to replace stock recovery in rom files/ folder and flashing it like stock rom through miflash tool.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] cobben:
Battery problems? in the 128 especially?

If "nothing works" through any normal software methods, the ram &/or ROM memory chips might have become semi-defect. They are not eternal . . .
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] harpy.eagle:
Tried replacing battery as well. Surprising thing is completely dead 128gb helium does boot up in edl mode with flashing working perfectly file in miflash tool. Dont know how reliable that software is.....
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] cbrown001975:
Hello,

trying with both Helium & Hydrogen. Still on error like say these logs.

log#1

[0,02 COM7]:[COM7]:start flash.

log#2

[0,00 COM7]:[COM7]:start flash.
[2,03 COM7]:cannot receive hello packet,MiFlash is trying to reset status!

[7,13 COM7]:cannot receive hello packet,MiFlash is trying to reset status!
[7,14 COM7]:Riferimento a un oggetto non impostato su un'istanza di oggetto.

Hope anyone can help me. What's my wrong following the guide.

Hi! So I have been rolling with the marshmellow version of RR for quite some time and figured I was due for an upgrade. I went to update to the Nougat version, and did everything correctly, firmware, wipe, rom, then gapps. Much to my dismay I was greeted with a screen prompting me for my pattern to start android, I thought this a bit odd but went with it and my pattern did not work. I tried again thinking I may have done it wrong but nothing worked. I didnt think much of it and went to flash again to make sure I did it right, but my recovery never booted. Afterwards I got an error that was very quick and I was not able to read. It came just after the "your phones bootlader has been unlocked" etc. It was a very similar screen as well. After this, I was not able to boot up the phone at all. Once I was able to power up the phone but it simply gave me the same error and now its not starting at all. Any help would be much appriciated and thank you if you made it through this post. :D
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] FriendWithin:
First of all, you need to flash the very latest version of TWRP. If you are suffering from encryption issues and cannot decrypt TWRP, you will need to press back on the TWRP screen, and press wipe -> Format data

You will lose all your data and will be unencrypted. Make sure you have the latest TWRP, as this is vital for Nougat.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] BluBot:
Thank you for the help, but I cannot even get into my device to update TWRP.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] FriendWithin:
Try holding the power button for a minute, or try volume down + power to get into the bootloader.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] BluBot:
Already did, it doesnt work. Black screen.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lionheartcgr:
Im facing the same problem too. Cant even get adb to work ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Anova's Origin:
If you can still get into your bootloader, use fastboot commands to flash the latest TWRP.

Either hold Vol Up + Power when you phone is off, or turn it on normally and click any volume button during the "bootloader unlocked" warning screen to access the boot menu.

If you can't access the bootloader at all, then I believe the unbrick guide is your only option.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lionheartcgr:
I can get to the bootloader, but when i flash recovery, it just restarts again and again.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Anova's Origin:
Wipe the recovery partition first before you flash the new one.

Also, what version of TWRP are you using?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] BluBot:
Yeah I will look into brick guides. Also going to try and let my phone charge to see if that may help. As far as I can tell it isnt charging but I might as well try.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] BluBot:
Thank you for all the help guys, eventually what worked for me was indeed an unbrick guide. I will now be sure to read up entirely on what exactly I need to upgrade to fix this issue. For any wondering https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/ This was the guide I used to fix my phone.

[Lenovo Vibe Z Questions & Answers] jinkerz9430:
Not necessarily. I've seen moderators of XDA removing threads for smallers things. On LG V20 > LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development > Announcements> Section 15> 4th bulletpoint ; states that

"Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For Developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to kernels, bootloaders, ROMs, etc., as well as R&D development discussion threads designed with an end goal"

Last time i saw a thread on this section being closed was the "V20+ V1" created by bountyman334, and it was temporarily closed because he didn't put a link to his development. and only after he placed a link on the thread and let the moderator know, then the thread was reopened.

To be honest, if i were you, i would have put this thread under "LG V20 GUIDES, NEWS, & DISCUSSION" section

;)

How to flash NVRAM.bin using SP FLASH Tool

hi all am happy to join you this is my first post

In SP flash tool’s download tab the NVRAM partition does not appear while it does in the firmware folder.

In order to let the NVARM partition appear in SPFT download tab do the following

1. Navigate to firmware’s folder and open the scatter file with notepad++ or with WordPad .if opened in WordPad then save is as *.txt

2. Scroll down the scatter file and find “partition_name: NVRAM”

3. Change the attribute of the fourth row of the nvram partition which reads “is_download: false” to “is_download: true” save and exit.

4. Launch SPFT and select this scatter and the nvram partition should be there in the download tab as follows

You can do the same for all other partitions to let them appear in the downloads tab.

5. Un thick all other partitions except the NVRAM

6. Disconnect(if device is connected ) and Turn it off remove and reinsert battery

7. Clicks download on SPFT and connect your phone via usb and wait until you see green the circle. DONE

Since the partition size of all NVRAM is the same 0x500000 you can flash any MTK phone NVRAM.bin file to any other MTK phone since the scatter type is the same MT6572 to MT6572 and MT6582 to MT6582 and so on.

I am not sure if it fixes the invalid or null IMEI problem since I didn’t tried it I just thought of it last night accidently.

And if this works then the more attention to the scatter the more our problems fixed will be that is without rooting. i gues it will work 90 percent

You can flash any NVRAM.bin file to any mtk phones but only with the original scatter file

Thanks

Se!dnejmy
[Android General] Saami_Developer:
Didnt fixed it

I tried with your method . it shows the partition in sp tool but I flashed just nvram file to my phone. but it didnt worked I'm still getting the nvram warning Error: 0x10

but I HAVE a problem

Last night i fixed the nvram error 0x10 and I was happy that it will be fixed but when my phone rebooted I saw that there was an error nvram warning error 0x02

then I tried to fix it and when nvram error 0x02 was fixed

the erroe 0x10 came back

can anyone give the solution

hi

i format whole of my phone is nokia 1 plus and i lost my nvram.

[XDA Assist] Shaifhemraj:
Okay, so all day, I've been trying to fix this damn phone because of a root fail. I unlocked the bootloader, installed SuperSU and now the phone just reboots with a white screen and red words saying this build is for development purposdes only. I can get to download and bootloader mode fine though. Its S-On Bootloader Unlocked. I would honestly settle for it to be set to factory settings as I just need the phone fixed. Rooting has been so stressful. I don't care about losing data.

I'm thinking it failed because I used an SDHC 32GB Micro SD Card? Ive been trying to use a recovery img, Im using HTC Android Phone ROM Update Utility and thats not working. It asks to update the ROm version from 3.35.401.12 to image version (shows nothing). Then it says image error 158 (cannot update my android phone).

When flashing a recovery image, I get:

C:\Users\shaif\Downloads\Root M9>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes

sending 'recovery' (32848 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.503s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) HOSD CL#671758

(bootloader) start@1

(bootloader) recovery@100%

(bootloader) Update partition OK

(bootloader) end@Done

OKAY [ 2.792s]

finished. total time: 5.301s

Still not working.

Also tried fastboot oem rebootRUU but that took me to a screen that says Security Warning

Someone please help me, Im desperate

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] elektronAu:
Would this be an Optus OTA? To my knowledge, Telstra and Vodafone haven't released any comms about Nougat update for the HTC 10 while Optus was testing both the M9 and 10 earlier this month. M9 was definitely listed as released but 10 was still marked as being tested earlier this week.

As I understand it, JB HiFi was selling phones with either Optus or Vodafone firmware. Mine's from JB too and is on 1.95.710.3 which I understand to be the Vodafone version.

Optus update status states 'Testing Android 7.0 update and VoLTE – completion expected late February':

https://yescrowd.optus.com.au/t5/Blog/Android-Software-Updates-16-02-2017/ba-p/198463

UPDATE: Actually, Vodafone has HTC 10 listed as well as "Testing complete, awaiting feedback from HTC", hopefully that doesn't mean a long wait.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Agentx47:
JB sold an unlocked handset which I am with on the Optus network. I am on 1.95.710.3 as well. I was under the impression that HTC sends the software to unlocked devices first specifically, and then to carriers who then distribute it for the optus devices. Would I be correct in assuming that?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] elektronAu:
That's usually the case though I'm not entirely sure about the nature of our firmware (mine's the same as yours) - is it a true unbranded retail or an unlocked carrier version? I know the Moto Razr I had in the past was an unlocked Vodafone handset.

re: encrypt

You need to FORMAT DATA in TWRP before

you flash supersu.

Select WIPE in twrp then select FORMAT DATA

and follow the promps.

Please note:

Formatting data in twrp will erase your internal memory

so if you have anything important back it up first.

Good luck, have a great day!
