So guys i need your help big time !

i flashed the wrong TWRP and the wrong OS because of which my phone got hard bricked. Now there's only the light on top when i connect to my PC. i cant boot into the bootloader or the recovery. and while doing all this my phone battery was around 10% which i now found that might have cause some harm. So does the low battery thing effect the process or the phone in any way ?

Anyways , After searching a lot and watching lot of videos i found that this could be fixed by using the SP tool. So got the SP tool and got the necessary files for it . I saw that most people had the AUTH error while flashing but for me it seems to be the different error .BTW I'm using the Indian variant and i did try flashing all the different files but everyone had this same error .

So now the error is :

ERROR : STATUS_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL.

(0xC0060001)

HINT:

Please retry the operation:

1. remove the battery and USB cable;

2. press download button on flash tool;

3. press download volume down and plug in USB cable and download pitchout battery.

So i tried removing cable and connecting again, pressing the up/down volume button and connecting different ports, pressing the download button 1st and then connecting the cable . but everything led to the same error. i couldn't find a solution for this. tried different versions of SP tool , MI flash tool . but still have the error.

After more searching around the other way to fix this is to use the EDL method , in which ill have to remove the back case and then find the EDL points after which i have to press them both and short them ? i don't even know how to do that but this seems to be the only other way i could find.

So i would gladly accept any kind of help from anyone. Any other ideas or different ways i could flash and get me back my phone. and if no other way comes then ill have to do the EDL point thing. Please help guys....

Thanks in advance.

Help me please

My Redmi 6 again stuck at Mi Logo. While using normally, it became hang and restarted automatically and stuck at Mi Logo.

I tried to flash device through Mi Flash (Pro) Tool and After that tried sp flash tool(version v5.19.24) along with libusb devel filter and MTK bypass through python in UART Mode(detected as MTK USB Port(COM23)).

And got "PROTECTION DISABLED" from MTK Bypass. [I have also tried MCT_MTK_BYPASS tool for this along with SP Flash tool].

But it shows "STATUS_DOWNLOAD_EXCEPTION" error in SP flash tool, Flashing started by downloading DA and then stopped and port disappeared(Shows unknown in status bar instead of High Speed). And no error message; so I waited more than 1 hour. No result - not flashing.

But it shows STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL in mi flash pro tool with authenticated mi account and now it not showing mi logo too, only charging indicator LED(But port detects when in libusb devel filter)

FM_ComBoEmmc_UFS_ALL.err error in Mi Flash

Help? How to flash or restore in this condition?

I Tried the python method, but there is an error on my part... After these lines, there is a huge line of error.

I tried to chat-gpt it and it said: The error usb.core.USBError: [Errno None] Other error indicates that there's an issue with opening the USB device. This could be due to several reasons, such as permission issues, conflicts with other software, or issues with the USB drivers.

The problem is probably coming from the device itself, because of it keeps bootlooping into preloader interface, It can't boot into recovery mode and fastboot, I did everything, every button combinations, every flashing tools, every command in cmd (dozens), and it is still stuck opening and closing in the preloader interface ;-;

Why did you brick your phone?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
This is expected, because you probably don't have an authorized account for flashing. I think you have to find someone who has an authorized account to log in for you.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
Why use this method to do it? This method describes a way to recover a bricked phone and not a method to change firmware on a functional phone. Also, it is stated that someone should use only the firmware of the corresponding region to his/her phone. It is unknown if it would work with the firmware of a different region.

[MENTION=4722961]polfrank[/MENTION] Hi thanks for your detailed guide. I tried everything and got someone has an authorized Xiaomi Account logged in already on Step 2. The problem is the last step when I tried to connect the cable while holding Volume + and the error showed up " ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL (0XC0060005) . Have you ever countered this error before?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
Hey! You get this error because it expects an authorised account to be logged in, but it doesn't find it. But you day that you already found someone to log in for you. Thus, I don't know why you get the error. Maybe try again? Or.. Is the guy who tries to help you really authorised?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mek32:
i solved it by flashing one by one all the images in fastboot mode. To enter in fasboot mode i had to disconnect the battery, wait 10 seconds, connect the battery, press and hold power button and volume - and there where 2 vibrations, the sencond is longer and then, the pc recognized the phone in fastboot mode.

hope to help you.

P.D I had a briked global Rn8 Pro whith no recovery and no fastboot. Tried all, mi flash, sp flash tools, diferent roms (global,EEA and RU) , and always had a flashing error.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] white_3n:
Hi mek, My RN8 Pro now is not recovery and fastboot like yours too. May I know how you disconnected the battery? You have to disassemble your phone right? When the PC recognized your phone in fastboot mode - the screen at that time was still black or functioned normally?

Thanks for your help
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mek32:
You have to disassemble the phone and yes, the screen was black. At the second vibration ( longer than the first), the pc recognized the phone in fastboot mode.

Steps.

1- open phone

2- disconnect the battery

3- wait 10 seconds

4-connect the battery

5-Press and hold power and volume-

6-plug to pc

7- wait for the second vibration ( longer).

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] white_3n:
Thanks for your promp and detailed respond. I don't really think that I'm able to disassemble the phone without damage it. I tried SP Flash as OP said but last step got error and I don't really know why eventhough I already got an authorised xiaomi account from another person.

Help

Hi !

so this way the phone goes into fastboot all the same? because the I have more recovery or fastboot, it reboot constantly ...

in DA mode with sp flashtool, it detects it but asks me an account authorized for the flash ... that I do not have!

this problem of permanent reboot happened to me after installation of the rom xiaomi.eu (MIUI 11, ANDROID 10, last available) please i need help :(

:crying::crying::crying:
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rezwan_4u:
Dnt panic!! I face that same problem as like you due to flash miui eu 11 9.11.21 beta. now i fix it using sp flash tool with auth account. one of my local mechanic has that account and i have to pay him 12 USD aprox for that. and yes he just flash it my device without any thing opening. now my device working normal but bootloader is again locked so i have to unlock it again, that it, i ask him to do that remotely but his account is avilable only for Bangladesh, so my suggestion is for you that: Find some one who has professional mobile mechanic and who has Mi authorization account, pay him and unbrick your phone otherwise you dnt have any option right now.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mek32:
Try to flash all the images one by one via fastboot. I solved it doing this.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] caiman136:
In my case the phone does not vibrate, it only detects the computer for five seconds and disappears from connected devices, does not enter fastboot mode or edl. This happened to me after installing ota.

When you said " his account is avilable only for Bangladesh" so he cannot sign in remotely in another country except Bangladesh? I'm looking for someone who has real authorised account to unbrick but in my country it's a little rare now.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rezwan_4u:
Some of Indian Mechanics do that remotely. so you can find them in youtube. contact with them and maybe you have to pay 10-12 USD for that.

To get an authorized account,

The program also includes the SP Flash tool, which can be found in the program folder depending on where you installed it. Program download here: miflashpro.com/category/english

How do we checked we authorized user or not. I can login "account_auth.exe“ just fine, it said we are ready or something. But when I tried to unlock my begonia, I need to wait 168 hr
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] idog8818:
It will show something like you are unauthorised user, instead of XXX hours if you are not unauthorised. XXX hours of waiting period is the Mi's policy trying to avoid of stolen phone etc.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Method 1: Send back to Mi store if you are able to, costing $0 to fix, may need to pay for postage.

Method 2: Using SP tools, ask whom has authorised account (Not normal account to unlock the BL) to pass the authorisation, this will cost you $40USD.

Method 3: Using SP tools. open back case and disconnect the battery, holding power button for mins to drain all remaining battery in the phone, this will make the fastboot back, and flash stock rom. This will definitely lose warranty. There's some chances this method may not work.

Possible Method 4: Ask for refund from where you buy...Nasty but may work.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ScarletVeil:
But AFAIR, I didn't wait for my whyred, or costumer rn5a, or my brother rn7, and a bunch more, I think I waited for my RN3 (first xiaomi). Well, atleast it did not said I am unauthorised and in 168hr, global android 10 may have been released, maybe a compatible twrp too
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] idog8818:
They introduced this policy not long ago...I didn't wait for my remdmi note 3 and Mi 6 But waited 7 days for my note8 pro.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] WinterR:
Can someone with a bricked device try this method BUT, Where it says "Download Only" Put "firmware-upgrade" and see If it requires Authorization.

Also try in Mi Flash, but go in "Configuration" (top left) > "MiFlash Configuration" and where it says "Chip:" put MTK and then try the same thing as in SP Flash Tool, I am hoping it doesn't require Authorization for DA flashing.

Try the latest MiFlash from here
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
When I had tried, MiFlash worked only in fastboot mode and not in DA mode, even if you choose MTK on chip and try to flash. But it was an older version of MiFlash. The phone is not recognised at all by MiFlash in DA mode, whatever you choose in options.

In SP Flash tool, whatever you choose (firmware update or download only), it asked for authorised account (brom error).

I tried everything in these programs when the phone was bricked. Nothing worked except for flashing with authorised account in SP flash tool.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] idog8818:
Finally fixed? If so, how?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] klocek80:
hello, the solution to the problem is the battery is completely discharged until the device stops responding to any attempts to start using the key combination. unless you tried to flash a fastboot partition. the solution works after hard bricking after trying to upload incompatible twrp or other rom (I uploaded Chinese twrp on eu rom). ok, we start:

1. holding vol - and power plug in the usb cable (the buttons are released when the notification LED changes from very bright for a moment to slightly dimmed)

2. you will see the long unseen battery symbol with a lightning inside (i.e. a completely discharged battery, the charge status will begin to show the percentage)

3. Turn off the USB cable at 3 percent.

4. now an important thing - you need to start the phone only trying to enter the fastboot mode otherwise the phone will start to boot the system and get stuck again and you will have to unload it again

5. you will finally enter the fastboot :), using only the software from xiaomi or xiaomi flash and fastboot rom

I succeeded :) after 2 weeks of waiting for it to discharge ...

Sorry but I have xiaomi authorised account (login successful-computer is bound to your account,you can start now) but no one combinatin workig, phone is still dead!

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

I was already opened it and unplugged battery and testing without or with battery, but notnihg working, no one combination of buttons is possible to enter fastboot mode, only white led changes notification.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] klocek80:

I followed your steps and I was successful !!! After almost 3 weeks without cell phone, I was able to revive my redmi note 8 pro brick ... I am really happy, thank you very much for sharing the solution
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pndwal:
But you are mistaken - you, like most users, are only authorised for basic fastboot flash. Deeper flashing, battery disconnected etc require higher authorisation. That's why regular Xiaomi users must be very cautious flashing, and Xiaomi phones easily brick loosing bootloader and TWRP access even with compatible recovery / ROM flashes. (Seems MTK devices are worse than QCom.)

If you are logged into Mi account and Bound with Computer window is showing when you flash, you will get 'You are not Authorised for this' message along with "ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL" from SP.

Sites listing Flashtool errors often say:

Error 0xC0060005

Message: ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL

Meaning: The device attempted to power on before SP flash tool could flash files to it

Solution:

You'll need to use a custom Download Agent (DA) for the model

In case of Xiaomi ROMs, this is WRONG and MISLEADING. Don't try to change standard DA - it's correct. OP here correctly stated: "ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL"... is happening because one has to be logged in with an Authorised Service Account simultaneously when trying to flash with SP Flash Tool. (Nb. Not Authorised Account, but Authorised SERVICE Account).

Unless battery trick etc can be made to work to restore fastboot (I'm trying now on my Redmi 6 after paying once, but haven't succeeded yet), only option is to pay Service dep. or online Service Account holder to flash using their account (-some can log your PC into their account remotely using team viewer, but others who were once able to offer service have recently had accounts restricted to their country only). On-line services still working are around $30 US currently. PW
