[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] mac_erot:
Hi, the tutorial you gave is for 'normal' xiaomi phone, where it boot normally (even its BL is locked).

In my case, I cant load the BL (It said: Destroyed). The only thing I can do is restart to fastboot state, and after 20 seconds it goes again to Destroyed state.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] thE_29:
Ok, so I have read some other threads and what seems the "only" solution is to unlock the bootloader again.. But the other people had no problem running "oem unlock".. And you get an error, what is kinda strange.

What happens in MiUnlock? Error?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] mac_erot:
Hi, I think the main problem is current status is "The System has been Destroyed", therefore it cannot load the BL.

Meanwhile, the BL is in Locked status. So it need to be un-locked first, so I can load the new ROM.

MIUnlock is error, it said: "Current account is not bound to this device", which is strange, because previously I unlocked using it before.

I assume MIUnlock said this because the status of "System destroyed"...
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] P.Kosunen:
Never lock if there is not 100% Xiaomi official rom inside, and better use MiFlash with "clean all and lock" option for locking.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] mac_erot:
Thanks for your suggestion. Will do that after I fix this problem..
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] thE_29:
I think you have a bricked device.. Some devices have this "test-pins", where you can enable some debug-bridge and there you could flash it (mi5 or redmi5 was that in that thread). I dont know if the Pad4 has such Pins and you would have to open the whole device.. (its not something you can access from the outside).

But I dont know if the Pad has these test-pins, just because another Xiaomi device had it..
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] mac_erot:
Noted on that, but too risky for me to open the case..

Any other solution would be really appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] P.Kosunen:
On some devices you have to login your Mi Account with MiFlash when flashing in EDL mode and account needs special permissions.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] mac_erot:
Yup, and I cant do that since cannot load the BL, because it's "Destroyed" right now..
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] mac_erot:
Up.

Does anyone have the solution on this?

Thanks.

Seemed "bricked" to me, welcome to the bricked world dude, I have had 2 beautiful paper holder on my desk. :(
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] thE_29:
The only solution was already posted several times -> open device, find test-pins, use them and flash ROM. And yet, you still ignore it everytime. THERE is no other solution for bricked devices.

And: NEVER close the bootloader again on NON official ROMs.

2nd

"fastboot oem reboot EDL"

go to service centre they will be able to restore the device using edl i hope
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] maluc:
I tried also all solutions, but nothing helped. EDL, fastboot, etc.

If there is a way to unlock the BL again I can go on. Otherwise there will be no chance for me to get it running.

Has anyone got a solution how I can unlock the BL again? Or flash with locked BL?

Thanks!

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Thargorsson:
Flash a wrong bootloader would be my last option. Then it’ll enter QHSUSB 9008 emergency mode as the pbl detects no sbl1 or sbl2 is correctly installed. As Xiaomi gives you the rawprogram and firehose programmer files (microcode for the cpu to enter a downloade mode sort of) you could do a restore with Qualcomm’s dev tools (use the Sahara protocol). It would be completely dead after the wrong bootloader and u need the correct drivers. It’s way more complicated than aboot but hell Man U can’t break the pbl it’s burned into the cpu circuits XD.

pbl=primary bootloader

sbl=secondary bootloader 1 or 2

aboot=appsboot is actually the partition which sets up the fastboot interface
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] frofa:
for all people who have problems with fastboot mode, try a computer with a USB2 port. Fastboot does not properly work when the device is connected to a USB3 port (like most of the computers have today). If your computer does not have a USB2 port, use a cheap USB2 hub connected to a USB3 port on your computer.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] pauldemon:
I have a tablet Mi pad 4 and when i bought it the bootloader was unlocked but had fake rom. I have flash with the official rom and the bootloader has been blocked again. I realized that XiaoMiFlash was 3 settings "clean all", "save data and user" defaults to "clean all and lock". Nobody has said that they need to avoid "clean all and lock". And so I locked my tablet again and can not re-flash any other rom. When I wanted to flash rom in fastboot he was giving me the message "The system has been destroyed. Press power button to shutdown".

Now in miflash unlock it shows me I still have 146 hours. Now I am waiting.

Can also be that your device is not connected to your mi account.

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] lindvalll:
Had same problem as you guys. This "dirty" copy paste fix of that modified file to the Mi Pad 4 CN Fastboot ROM folder fixed the authenticated error I got in MiFlash! So glad I finally got it working - it was a pain in the ass to get it disassembled in order to put it in EDL mode. The device is now linked to my Mi account and all is good!

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] darkhelmetnl:
I'm not sure exactly what you did. Did you flash an official CN ROM despite the device being locked and having a 'destroyed system'?

So to understand correctly, did or didn't you disassemble the tablet?

Or could it work using a Xiaomi Deep Flash cable? ( https://en.miui.com/thread-310325-1-1.html )

A bit more clues could help others to fix their tablets, thanks! :)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] lindvalll:
Yeah sorry for being vague and uninformative :cyclops:. I'll try again...

My Pad 4 was delivered unlocked and with a non original ROM installed to it. Then I tried to flash MIUI CN Fastboot ROM with MiFlash. It failed for some reason and I of course forgot to change to "clear all" so the bootloader got locked after the flashed failed. It resulted in the Mi Pad being empty without any ROM and locked out of the bootloader. Only thing I could access was Fastboot (vol - + pwr button).

I then disassembled the pad to put it in EDL mode by short circuit the EDL/test dots. That being done and my computer showing the pad as "Quadcomm...9008" in the device manager I booted up MiFlash again. Flashing started but only to find out my Mi account isn't authorized to perform EDL flashing :crying:

Then I stumbled upon the thread I mentioned in my previous post, that supplied a custom "Prog Emmc Firehose ELF" file which supposedly should bypass Xiaomi's authorization check. Great! Back to MiFlash and using my "custom" fastboot CN ROM. But this time I got a new error saying something like "receive hello world package failed". After using Google for a bit I learnt that this error was caused by me being to slow pressing the "flash" button in MiFlash. So, disconnecting the pad and reput the pad in EDL mode and seconds later hitting the "flash" button in MiFlash. Finally a successful flash!!! After a minute or two booting up my pad 4 was up and running again with stock CN ROM!

Hope this explains it a bit clearer.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] darkhelmetnl:
Thanks a lot for the clarification. Ik found this as a source for what pins to short. https://en.miui.com/thread-3839595-1-1.html

And This video to see how to take the Mi pad 4 apart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMvd8eyh0Cs

Tomorrow I'll get a Deep Flash cable and try that. But it might not work, i've read that it has been blocked on other models.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] lindvalll:
I can confirm that those are the correct pins. Found the same thread and it worked like a charm! Disassemble was a pain in the ass though. Made some nasty marks on the back cover when pulling the cover and screen apart. But got the pad working again so I guess it was worth it :fingers-crossed:

Hope it works with the deep flash cable. Honestly didn't knew that it exist. Seems very easy to make one yourself! If I'd known I would have done that before taring it apart :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] lindvalll:
Please do report back if the deep flash cable work. It will save us all a lot of hassle disassembling the tablet to reach the test point pins. :)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] cebu:
So you used this firehose files https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/fix-arb-bricked-device-qfil-t3841780

There are not special one for each device. The note 5 firehose files can be used?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] lindvalll:
Yes I used that one. Notice there are two different files, depending on which method you use. Also used latest fastboot ROM for Mi Pad 4 of course :). Disassembled my tablet, disconnected batteri and put the device in EDL mode by short circuit the test pins. Then followed the "MiFlash method". Worked like a charm!
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] darkhelmetnl:
Just received the cable. Unfortunately no success. I dont get the COM port in the device manager. The button on the cable does seem to work. If i release it, windows detects a faulty USB device

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

I've tried a USB 2.0 port, because I read USB 3.0 doesn't work. No success. Seems like I'll have to open the Mi Pad 4 after all :crying:

*edit*

after switching to a USB 2.0 port on the motherboard my device was recognized as a Qualcomm Diagnostic 900E device. Not 9008.

So I'm guessing it can only be done by the Test Point method. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to open up the Mi Pad.

I don't have the right socket, a Torq 2 or 3?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] darkhelmetnl:
By the way, is your tablet locked or not?

I guess it needs to be unlocked again through the regular procedure?

Or using an online 3rd party unlock service...
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] lindvalll:
It was locked out of the bootloader when I flashed. That's why I needed the custom file - to bypass authentication. After the flash I linked the device to my Mi account. Now I can unlock it using regular procedure through Xiaomi Unlock Tool since it's linked to me.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] lindvalll:
Ah 900E. I also got that by connecting the usb cable whist holding vol up + vol down :) Getting it to 900E won't work though. Good luck with the disassembly! I made some nasty marks on the back cover by the speakers :p Didn't really have an appropriate prying tool. Use torq 3 to get the screws loose.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] herlek:
I ve experienced exactly the same problem with my mi max 3.

I've started a warranty claim as I bought it on aliexpress. My claim was excepted and luckily they will sent (today) a replacement mimax 3. This was not sure in advance as they may sent any other type of smartphone to replace it.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] darkhelmetnl:
Today I succesfully unbricked my phone, mostly thanks to Lindvalll providing the right direction.

Opening the tablet wasn't that hard I think, you just need the right tools. I used a couple of flat paperclip style devices. and worked them around until the cover snapped off.

I needed a Torq 3 and small Philips head size 2.5 to remove the necessary screws. I was waiting on some plastic opening tools to arrive, but Amazon has had a hard time shipping things on time lately, so i decided to look around the house for alternatives.

Getting the device to boot in EDL mode took a few tries connecting it, while shorting the pins. And then I got the same error Lindvalll got, because I waited to long before clicking the Flash button.

But after a retry it flashed and took 265 seconds to finish. Now I'm with a working, but China ROM device.

I will take another gamble to unlock and get xiaomi.eu ROM on there. Too much chinese crap on the tablet.

It takes patience, preparation, a steady careful hand, but it's definitely doable!
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] lindvalll:
Awesome! Glad you got it working! That flash button timing issue is so strange though...
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] lvnatic:
I had this happen on my girlfriend's mi A1. My problem is a bit different tho, I get the same error message but I can easily boot into fast boot mode and stay there, but my laptop doesn't recognize the device at all when I plug it in. Device manager doesn't see any device and when I type fastboot devices nothing happens.

I have the right right drivers installed because it worked just fine before the brick, reinstalled all drivers without success. My note 5 Pro and MiPad 4 are both detected without problems. I also tried with 3 different cables but I don't know what kind of usb ports I have on my laptop, maybe they are all 3.0.

Hi,

Please help:

I have a Mi Pad 4 Plus LTE witch is bricked after a bad mi flash procedure that locked the bootloader.

I have tried the steps provided in this thread, but I am stuck at "ACK count don't match error" while flashing xbl.elf, in Mi Flash Tool, when I use the filehose from Note 5. I have tried other filehose files as well, with the same results.

When I try to use Mi Flash Tool Beta, instead of the 201805 version, it gives me another error "Matrix size is different".

I have searched a lot and I didn't find anything. Do I need a custom version of the hosefile for the Mi Pad 4 Plus?

Wrote this initially thinking it was an MTK thread, the following doesn't apply for Qualcomm devices:

Bricked my phone with an oem lock.

Using this https://github.com/notmyst33d/mtkclient-gui I was able to unlock the bootloader again within a minute or so (you don't need to wait the 168 hours this way). I lost all of my data but hey, at least it's a working phone.

Tested with fedora silverblue running gnome boxes. The only tricky part with gnome boxes is that you have to setup to press preferences the moment you plug your phone in while holding the BROM key combo.

[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] Thanh92bme:
Hi guys.

Here is how I flash my Mipad 4.

Deep cable will not solve the problem. Using deep cable will make Mipad4 into fake 9008 mode (actually it is 900E mode). As you can see in the post of @parshivets, there will be 2 devices.

Thus, the only solution is Test Point. I recommend to watch how to disassemble your Mipad4 on Youtube before tearing it down.

After opening the back cover, you can take out the battery protection and disconnect the battery for easily enter 9008 mode.

Reconnect battery -> using tweezers to short circuit 2 Test Point (showed in the above picture) -> connect cable to your Mipad4 (the other head is connected to your PC) -> there will be a sound informing you that window has recognize new device -> check Device Manager on PC if 9008 is appeared -> open Miflash and check if there is only one device.

I did 2 times and on the second time, I saw only 1 device in Miflash and tried to flash. Suddenly, everything went well and my Mipad4 is revived (imei is good, wifi is good, of course lock state)

I did not encounter Authenticate Miflash as I replace the firehose file in the image folder. You guys can try the orginal file. If you can not flash then replacing the firehose file and try to flash again.

Finally, good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] lazer9:
Having owned their last 3 cases for the past several Samsung phones, I can honestly say the Zerolemon has made some small yet positive revisions to this latest for the Note 9.

Before I go any further I would like to disclose that I was sent this battery extension case in exchange for providing honest feedback.

First positive: A perfect fit! Phone is easy to get in case and likewise, easy to remove.

Second positive: Seems very screen saver friendly even with the curved edges, no lifting or scaring to the applied screen protector.

Third positive: Very exceptional alignment to ALL ports - Headphone jack, Spen, Charging port, and bottom and top speaker openings provide no reduction to sound volume nor quality.

Forth positive: Improvements to the charging indicators now a simple white led setup and I am noticing the external charging is actually cutting off soon after reaching 100% to the phone.

As always, this battery extension gives just that! A very handy ability to quickly double on the standard battery time away from any other form of charging. Get beyond a day of heavy usage - Gaming, BT Streaming music, Web browser, ect... And for another example, no problem leaving the GPS high accuracy location on.

The only con I would propose is this does add some noticeable weight and while some may not like using day to day, it is a true and most simple way to keep your phone juiced with plenty of power when away from traditional charging methods.

Highly recommend!
