Hello!

I have bricked Note 8T (accidentally flashed Ginkgo rom, recovery or fastboot doesn't work)

I have tried V11.0.5.0 and V12.0.1.0 global fastboot rom with replacing prog_emmc_firehose_Sm6125_ddr

I have QFIL 2.0.3.5, every setting is ok, but flashing fails.

INFO: TARGET SAID: 'ERROR: Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: There are different versions of the firehose file attached in this thread. The first one is working!
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Mohammed Ziad:
from the error message it seams that you did not change or select the new firehose in QFIL, which is the patched file.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Prepo:
I deleted original firehose from rom folder and replaced it with patched version. I also copied the file to another location and selected it as programmer path as shown in picture. There should not be an old firehose file anywhere...

I did this procedure with the latest miui V12.0.3.0.QCOEUXM, I press the buttons but that only happens, the screen remains off and the notification led flashes and when I connect it to the charger it keeps flashing.

what do you think could have happened?

Look at your xiaomi box. If your phone batch is 10.2020 or 11.2020, MIUI 11.0.11 came out of the box, your chances to unbrick is low.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] hroliver:
So I did the procedure of both roms with the firehose but the redmi note 8 continues only in that ...

is there any configuration in QFIL that is wrong? I did not change anything

Your board id could be 3.29, your phone shipped with 11.0.11 rom. Board id 1.29 has high successful rate and will have no problem flashing with qpst and miflash.

Can you try flashing firmware the one came out of the box? Download both firmware 11.0.6 and 11.0.11. Try this two. Your luck is still there. Try running QFIL as administrator.

Wait for a couple of minutes then flash again. Or you use miflash tool to flash. Make sure u replace the firehose before flashing and tick Clean All option. Process may take longer than usual.

Can you try flashing it using miflash tool? I suspect maybe it will flash okay but on your end your phone will still cannot be boot because of your board version 3.29. With board 1.29, it will flash without problem at all. Hmm. Please try using miflash tool and let me know. If it is not working, then wait for another fix. Im lack of information about 3.29 board id.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] hroliver:
How do I see the identification on the sign?

I do it for Miflash and it is concluded without any problem only that the device continues with the same problem ...

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] kraken77:
I understand bro. No worry. English is not my language too 😄 okay, since you got board id 3.29 or 2.29, lets flash all the firmware you downloaded using only miflash pro tool. Not using qfil. Preferably the one came out of the box. But u forgot what firmware right? So lets try each firmware 1 by 1 starting from maybe firmware 11.0.6. Only using miflash pro tool.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOU HERE

my redmi note 8 ginkgo come back from the dead after 10 hours phone dead and wandering thru internet and many forum ( english only )

iam on windows 10 64 bit,, using usb 2.0 port, original xiaomi usb cable

at this point any flashing guide i already do, nothing work, except i have authorize account, which i dont have.

edit : My board number is 1.29

here is exactly what iam doing

1.download latest QPST from here

QPST Configuration Tool

QPST contains several tools for carrying out operations on Qualcomm devices. Tools like Service Programming, Automation Server, Software Download, Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL), Advanced PDC tool

forum.hovatek.com

(at the time, iam using Version v2.7.480

2.install and finish it.

3.iam using this rom

ginkgo_global_images_V11.0.12.0.PCOMIXM_20201119.0000.00_9.0_global

from here :

Xiaomi Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

4. download the prog_emmc_firehorse from here

prog_emmc_firehose_Sm6125_ddr.elf

drive.google.com

this one is the one posted by RealYoti from 2nd page.

ok, from here, all the file necessary is ready

5. copy / move the prog_emmc_firehorse that you download to the FASTBOOT ROM location, put inside "images" folder, replace the original.

6. now the Phone , remove back cover, remove the battery connector, sort test point to edl mode

7. connect the device until it recognized by the PC as 9008 ( if hard to recognize, press power button about 10 second and repeat shorting the test poin pin )

8. now, open the QFIL.exe,in my case :

C/Program Files(x86)/Qualcomm/QPST/bin/

CONFIGURATION

a. Select Build Type : Flat Build

b. Select Programmer : ( Locate to prog_emmc_firehorse inside the firmware images folder )

c. LoadXML : RawProgram > rawprogram0.xml // Patch > patch0.xml

d. look at top right, SelectPort, make sure its detected ( just to make sure its connected and detected )

now everything set, hit that Blue Download button, if the blue bar is loading, then everything is working and flashing, just wait until it finish and says success.

after success, just remove the usb, put back the battery port, and hold power, your phone should back alive.

sorry if there is misspell and miswrite.

i hope someone find this usefull, thank you again for everyone here.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] kraken77:
Dont forget to mention your board id if youre posting this. Go to setting /tap kernel 5 time and check about device. Type your board id number here. If its 1.29 the successful rate is higher. Check your phone box and type what batch is your phone. Maybe its below 05.2020. With board 2.29 and 3.29 we are lack of info.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] bayu elf sabayonz:
hi, thanks, i already edit it, yes, my board number is 1.29

can you explain further, i want to know about this,, is this board number has something to do with where or when the device is assembled ?? and is there any other case like this on other phone? if you know, please send me some link to it, i would like to read it.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] kraken77:
Im a technician i own a small shop that fix phone faults like this and that number referring to a board version. Latest version of the board with the latest phone batch (05.2020 above) somehow getting patched by oem and recovering it from bricks might be different and difficult. I dont have enough infomation yet and its just based on my experience. But so far board 1.29 and 2.29(batch lower than 02 or 03.2020) will have no trouble at all recovering from brick.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] dxD7:
First of all THANK YOU, thank you very much to this community and everyone in the comments, I successfully brought back to life my 1 week old Redmi note 8 using this thread. My phone could not boot to recovery and fastboot was only flashing on for a fraction of a second and turning off so I could not do anything.

My phone is global version from batch 2020.11, board number 3.29, it came with MIUI 11.0.11 so I installed the fastboot 11.0.11 global stock rom with the firehose linked in this thread using the last version of qfil installed using qpst 2.7.0.480.

Again thank you. :) <3
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] mara91:
Can you please provide your board number? (should be somewhere in settings/system info) because if you have RN8 from new batch 2020.11 that means your board version is 3.29 or higher which means this process works on newer boards as well

I have the RN8 from same batch 2020.11 and I tried fastboot 11.0.11 global stock rom you mentioned (this is probably the filename: ginkgo_global_images_V11.0.11.0.PCOMIXM_20201001.0000.00_9.0_global_389eff34c9) but I get Sahara Fail all the time as shown on screenshot

can you please upload exactly your firmware and firehose file? (because there are multiple versions in this thread) so that I can try to EXACTLY replicate your steps?

thanks in advance
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] dxD7:
Hi, I used the second firehose linked in the 2nd page (link) and I used the rom you said (ginkgo_global_images_V11.0.11.0.PCOMIXM_20201001.0000.00_9.0_global_389eff34c9.tgz)

My phone is indeed using board number 3.29.0

Good luck and don't give up, I found this thread a couple of weeks ago when only one guy said it was working and I still could not do it. I gave up for bit and tried again last night before I was going to purchase a new phone...
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] mara91:
Thank you very much for valuable info. I'm still unable to do it so I would like to ask some more things to grab as much info as possible so if you please have time to answer:

1) when you tried this process before and failed what was the error message? Sahara Fail? (as on mine screenshot above) or somethig else?

2) do you remember doing something differently last time when the flash was succesful?

3) are you using USB2 or USB3 port?

4) are you using USB cable that came with the phone or other one?

5) have you done entrie process with disconnected battery or not?

6) which version of windows and which build number are you running? (just press Windows key + R to bring up the Run window and type winver)

7) which software/drivers have you installed? probably these ones:

QPST v2.7.480.7z (that contains QFIL.exe 2.0.2.3)

QDLoader HS-USB Driver_64bit_Setup.zip (which is probably qualcomm's USB driver do you use 32 or 64bit version?)

minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup.exe (probably not relevant for this process)

anything else that you think might be relevant to this process? other drivers? etc?

8) have you done this process (either installing drivers of flashing) while the windows was booted in "Disable driver signature enforcement" mode?

9) can you please download https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip, run it, select Qualcomm HS-USB, right click properties and send a screenshot like this to see if we have the same usb driver version?

View attachment 5208949

10) did you unlock bootloader before you bricked your phone?

11) did you replace original prog_emmc_firehose_Sm6125_ddr.elf from <rom>/images/ folder with modified firehose?

12) can you please send a screenshot of your QFIL setup? mostly to see a path where programmer and flat builds are located since some users report it works only if they place it under C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Qualcomm\QFIL\COMPORT_XX\

13) are you running QFIL.exe as administrator?

14) are you using QFIL exactly as on this video?

sorry for too many questions but since I believe even smallest thing done differently can cause failure I would like to replicate it as closely as you did it to confirm it's working because I feel that I'm almost there. I very much appreciate your help.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] kraken77:
Now we know that board id 3.29 can be brought alive. Maybe you can try different method of flashing. Can you try flashing it via miflash tool? Just replace the firehose. Flashing might take longer than usual.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] dxD7:
Hey don't worry about the questions I'd love to help as much as I can, I owe it to this community. And sorry about the late answers. I do believe a small change could make all the difference

1) Indeed I was getting a sahara error before it worked

2) To be honest I was blazed and tired late in the night so I don't fully remember :S xD I think the time it worked I was trying between keeping the original firehose in the rom folder and replacing it with the patched one, so one way or the other. I wish so much that I had recorded the process now..

3) I'm using usb2

4) with original cable

5) Like I said I was a little tired so I forgot to unplug the battery. (Before when it failed I had it unplugged, maybe that's why?? idk)

6) I'm using w10 pro Version 1909 Build 18363.1316

7) I am using QPST v2.7.480.7z (that contains QFIL.exe 2.0.2.3)

The drivers I had installed were the ones you can install using the miflashtool driver tab(I believe this is the link where I got it from, version 20200314) and I have attached the firehose I used.

8) I've done everything in regular windows no launching as admin or anything special

9) Unfortunately after flashing back the stock rom my main computer could not see the phone storage so I had to install the wpdmtp.inf driverView attachment 5209179

10) Yes my bootloader was unlocked

11) That's the part I'm no sure about, but I think it's when I was trying between replacing it and not replacing it.

12) View attachment 5209187

13) Not using administrator to launch the program

14) I did watch the video but I did not copy it exactly

edit: btw I just saw your video of the phone not booting up and my phone was doing exactly the same thing.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] mara91:
IT WORKS! my phone is alive again! thank you for help! I will make detailed tutorial asap so I won't forget anything.. anyway the problem was probably in driver. I used different pc (untouched by flashing stuff and android app development that I did in the past) and used drivers from this link https://xiaomiflashtool.com/download/xiaomi-flash-tool-20200314
