[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rapier:
After I've tried with different registry settings without luck, I've found on another forum a workaround that solved the "Could not connect. Try again later" issue. I though to share it:

1. Open IE (this is what I've tried, it might work with Opera as well) and access Internet (any WEB page you want). This is for "activating" the Internet connection, doesn't matter if it's on WI-FI, Active Sync, GPRS, etc.

2. Open QuickGPS and click "download". Now it should work.

This is NOT preserved even after a soft-reset, I've checked.

P.S. I've posted this on the other thread as well (QuickGPS and 1.93 ROM)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
same problem here. the only way to update is when sync with PC.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rupertone:
It works like a lighting strike!

I don't know why, but it works , maybe a sticky one for all of us (those who search for "normal solution" round 'n round )?

Thank you so much (i hope to discover why does it work :cool:)

Update region for QuickGPS to work

I noticed that the registry key HKLM\Software\HTC\QuickGPS\region was set to "IN" (for India). I changed that to "US" and QuickGPS has started working. I can click on Download and it downloads and updates remaining time correctly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wheatman:
Odd, I checked my registry also because I was having the same problem. But my region was --, changed to US and worked like a champ
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] okokur:

My device is bricked with no fastboot. The only thing working is edl. But xiaomi has put an edl authentication for flashing. The authentication is put into prog_emmc_firehose6150_ddr.elf.

Is there anyone has the firehose programming patch for redmi note 8?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] the_weird_aquarian:
up until now there's no patched firehose file for redmi note 8. You need to visit the service center as only they have authorized account to flash via edl mode.

Tnx a lot

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] vahab241:
although the name of the file sounds right according to sd665 qualcomm processor but the result in flashing failed with this message:

"SAHARA_NAK_INVALID_DEST_ADDR"

as with the result it doesn't seem to be a valid programmer file or it may not work on redmi note 8.

nevertheless thanks for your help.

Hmm no idea. Or just a possibly good idea. Head to telegram and ask there in groups. This one I shared is from gingko group. Also I've heard that many times patched firehoses are found in 4pda. But good luck with Russian
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] sz.hatef:
Same here, no fastboot, MiFlash recognizes it but in middle of processing asks for an Authorized Account,

Is it possible by using test point method bypass it?

Did you mange to unbrick your device?

Do you know how much it will cost by XIaomi Service Center to unbrick the phone?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] vahab241:
my device went to test point automatically because its whole partitions including fastboot, twrp, system and ... were deleted so it is identified in the windows as "EDL 9008". although it was in EDL mode, i did whatever to fix it during 3-4 month but useless.

i also tried xiaomi service center but they didn't help me. So i decided to pay a guy who had an authorized account, he fixed it for me remotely.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] sz.hatef:
Did you even try S-Unlock website? It claims that provide you an authorized account for 35$.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] vahab241:
no, i found someone indirectly from Russia. he flashed my device easily and remotely using his account for 15$.

Well..I tried everything that I found as a Redmi Note 8 (ginkgo) firehose file on internet, but it didn't work. It seems like we will have to wait some more time to get the firehose file for this device.

However, I tried to use MiFlash and QFIL, is that proper way, or I need something else besides full fastboot rom and the patched firehose file?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 EDL (Firehose/authentication file)

Although this thread is probably inactive I'd like to add my experience about attempting to flash the EDL file to my Xiaomi Redmi Note 8. About two months ago or longer, I received a MIUI update that bricked my device completely. No charging logo, just a flashing white LED signifying that my device was stuck in EDL mode. Being accustomed to the android OS and it's development I knew what the issue was. Att first I began by attempting to flash the stock firmware to my device while in EDL mode (pressing the test points on the back with tweezers to cause a short circuit in the motherboard, and then plugging the charger in so the PC recognizes it as Qualcomm 9008). Attempting to flash the firmware with MiFlash tool causes an authentication error to occur, and the program will tell you that your Xiaomi account is not authorized for flashing. I have also attempted to use the Qualcomm product support tool but the program will notify you that there is a mismatch in the file signature. (Basically means your device can only be flashed with MiFlash tool). I have attempted to use the 'patched' Firehose file for the Redmi Note 8 found on the internet (do a Google search), but it seems that this Firehose is incorrect for our specific device. I find it to be insanely greedy and/or selfish that a smartphone company will go to great lengths to prevent their customers from flashing firmware onto the device because they would rather you pay them to fix it. As of right now, there is no Xiaomi support centers in the country I reside in (The U.S.), and Xiaomi customer support is of absolutely no help whatsoever. Their customer support will tell you if you live in the United States that your device is not covered for the 365 day manufacturer warranty, although it comes with the warranty booklet inside of the box! Even if you have purchased this device from a retailer located in the US, most likely the retailer will tell you that you need to contact Xiaomi for warranty support even though Xiaomi does not offer this service for certain customers. I believe Xiaomi needs to be more up front about their warranty policies instead of beating around the bush. For this exact reason, I am extremely disappointed with Xiaomi and their customer support services. I still own the device myself and if anybody has come acrossed a Firehose file for this device it would be greatly appreciated. Willing to use my device for testing.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] ivanvi:
I would like to add my experience here too, I'm disappointed with Xiaomi just as you are. We own our phones, but we don't! So I believe that this is my last Xiaomi phone.

I managed to fix my Redmi Note 8, there is a way but you need to pay for that. Not only that you need to pay, you should also be careful because it's not enough only to have auth account, it seems like some other knowledge is needed too. I payed to some guy with auth account to fix it online and he really tried with MiFlash in EDL mode. Flashing was successful according to log messages, but the phone was not fixed and nothing was done. He did not want to refund me the money and claimed that the motherboard is broken (??!!!) and needs to be replaced. So I payed him for nothing. Then I found the other guy with auth account and he promised that he will refund money if his try to repair will be unsuccessful and also claimed that my MB is not dead when I described him situation. He didn't use MiFlash, but some other tool, I can't remember its name. And yes, he repaired it successfully, no MB replacement was needed. So just be careful with those privileged "auth" guys..

Still stuck in EDL mode after flashing

Hi, just registered to share my experience.

I'm in the same situation of the guys above.

1. My (mother's) mobile phone, a Xiaomi Redmi note 8T (global version), stopped working. It was previously rooted with TWRP and bootloader unlocked FYI.

2. No fastboot / No recovery / Black screen

3. Recognised as 9008 device in windows. Did the shortcut trick, but i think it was already stuck in EDL mode before.

4. Flashing fastboot ROM needed an authorised account, so i paid a guy found on YT 25USD via skrill to do so. He did it via TeamViewer.

5. It DID NOT fix the problem. Still stuck in 2. stage, and lost 25USD + time.

Everytime I plug the phone in windows, it is still recognized as 9008 device (EDL mode), even if I don't shortcut the points, just to be clear.

Does some one has a method to get out of EDL mode? I'm ready to pay (again) for that, if it works.

Wanted to share the situation, will update thread if i found a solution.

Thank you community :)

EDIT : Problem was fixed with reflashing stock rom, i just did not noticed. See my last comment below.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] nneko904:
what you do to to get your phone like that? sorry im just curious
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] sp4rt4:
That was my mother's phone, almost new (used 1 month).

I unlocked it's bootloader, installed twrp, and rooted it, mainly for ad-blocking purpose.

One day she told be it did not power on anymore, without doing anything. But when i asked her more questions and show her twrp interface, she agreed she got there, and clicked randomly on 2-3 buttons... She does not remember which ones.

What I think she did (I can not be sure 100%).

Option a. The phone installed automatically an update and rooting phone caused some curious behaviour

Option b. The phone booted in TWRP, and she clicked on option that reboots to edl mode, and it's stuck in this mode for some reason.

Option c. Mix of 2 above

I do not know.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Redmi 4A abdal:
i think option A is right,

in normal conditions you just have to press and hold power button to get out of EDL mode but looks like you already check it, so GOOD LUCK anyway ?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] nneko904:
ive been roaming in xiaomi eu forum for a while, root and twrp doesnt make such a problem like that but that part of updating might be the problem since if twrp got installed it will only update halfway and need the user to manually flash the update, so what happen might be when it's updating automatically and rebooted to twrp your mother wipe something and rebooted it to system which failing the update

fails update would get phone bricked for sure especially on miui update, moreover there's firmware included as well and if it's goes wrong the outcome would be dead brick which cause the current problem

this why i dont like miui... im stick on customrom
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] sp4rt4:
Hi,

I come back with some updates.

In my first message, I told reflashing stock ROM did not worked. It was incorrect. Just after flashing fresh rom, device still was in EDL mode.

Today, I was going to contact another guy to fix my problem. When I plugged the phone in computer, it was not in EDL mode anymore. It was not detected in windows device manager as 9008 device.

I put it in charge, and i got an awesome surprise : it booted.

It took time to boot up (I supose it was installing OS, after flashing). Everything is working fine now.

I'll apologize to the guy that flashed my phone.

Good luck to others that still have a problem after flashing.

Will not install twrp + root from now.

Bye.

Hi, thank you for the file, may I ask which version of ROM does this file support, I replaced this file with my redmi note 8 stock rom (ginkgo_global_images_V11.0.6.0.PCOMIXM_20200121), and I got the following error message,

"System Exception: configure failed!!!...........", a copy of flash log is attached.

Thanks a lot for sharing this file, It helped me a lot.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Mohammed Ziad:
sorry for my late response but the file in this thread is CPU specific according to my understanding, and because the two devices have the same CPU so it will work with the note 8t but you will need the ROM for your specific device.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Mohammed Ziad:
if you still stuck, this is what i did,

i downloaded the fastboot rom that i want to flash

then i opened the device back cover and located the pin for the edl mode and then i unplugged the battary

so after this i install qpst v2.7.480 and then go to the folder of installation and locate qfil, and if you have used another qfil before this you need to renter the information even if it is entered it solved my problem, and you will need the QDLoaderHS_USB_Driver

and then do as thisView attachment 5191919

before this step make sure you have replaced the file with the one in the extracted rom.

and then plug your phone and short the two pins using a wire or anything else which will make your device enter edl mode

and then hit the download button and hopefully the download will start, after all this you should have a working phone.

I fixed my phone this way is a short movie

you download the appropriate rom and emmc file. rom unpack to p disk c / program files (x86) / QUALCOMM. you replace the file in rom with the downloaded one, put the emmc file in another folder, open the qfil program, press browse and point the emmc file in the folder where you pasted it, then point to load XML and point to the files in the rom in the C / program files / Qualcomm folder and here in the rom rawprogram0 files then patch0 file finally Download
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Mohammed Ziad:
My understanding is that the two devices have some difference between them so you cannot flash ginkgo(redmi note 8) to willow(redmi note 8t) but they have the same cpu so you can use the same file that has been shared here on the two device but you will need the device specific rom.
