Does one need to have an unlocked bootloader to flash these files?

Of course
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EvilTodd:
Are the downloads not working for anyone else? I click on the Direct Download button and it just reloads the page, regardless of the browser I try.

No problems here, instant download.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] foxmcc8:
I have a question.

Can we overwrite these 2 files inside an official update package that has them and with this way to have the unbrick solution on a locked bootloader device?

Thanks in advance...?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mightysidy:
From where can I download official firmware?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Pr3z3s:
Before flashing it checks if the package is valid so I don't think it's possible. Still it would be great if it worked.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Saleitor:
This should be in the guide, to be "stupid proof".

And another thing: Can i break something with this? can i rollback? Sorry for the stupid questions but it should be like that... for stupid people.

Thanks!

Stuck on boot loop after flashing twrp (Agent Fabulous one)

Details:

flashed preloader, lk, lk2 and vendor from begonian. I can enter fastboot mode (VOL_UP+Power, in the menu selecting Fastboot).

When I try to flash image using SP Flash Tool, I get BROM_SEND_DA_FAILED, maybe because I can't turn off device, I just do fastboot reboot.

Any ideas? Right now downloading fastboot image from here https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/begonia/

EDIT: Unbricked after flashing via flashtool image from the link. Just commented the lines in flash_all.sh for preloader, lk and lk2

Sorry I'm a pain in the butt but my phone after a few days of using it seems to lose 20% battery during it just being in standby for the night and my battery statistics in the settings app don't say anything what app is causing this. Do you know what could I do to fix this?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
That's a bit beyond my knowledge, but I have heard of people fixing battery issues by flashing back to stock and wiping everything (internal storage, formatting data) in the process, then coming back to the custom ROM. You might want a second opinion on that before you try it, unless it's not a big deal for you to wipe the phone.

Also have you seen the method of downgrading where they use fastboot

First they said download fastboot rom them extract it in c drive then put your phone into fastboot open rom and just press flash.all.bat file in this thread

Dude, why are you reading posts on websites from 2018? Redmi Note 8 pro is not even on their list.

So I'm safe right?? I really just want to install corvus also did you read the fastboot one ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
I don't know if you're safe from anti rollback but if you have flashed preloader and lk from this thread, you won't brick it. And if it does brick, there is a way to unbrick it now, so you don't even need to install a cfw ROM. You can just install one of the new non-cfw roms.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Lemao pls help my ass:
Bro I still have to downgrade to even get the preloaded so I'm asking if you had to downgrade what was you experience
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
Oh yes, that's right.

My experience was that I followed this thread and it worked. My phone is the global version, so I flashed a global ROM.

This thread says nothing about anti rollback.

And if you brick it, there is a way to unbrick it now.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Lemao pls help my ass:
Did you get it the anti rollback in mi flash

Also bro can you provide trusted rom that you used also do I use mi flash or mi flash pro???

Anyway thanks for replying;)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Compass Linux:
I've never had to worry about ARB, so I can't help you there. I've always went up in version numbers, never down. Not once I thought about ARB when flashing stock/custom ROMS here (maybe I should've).

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
No problem.

But, no one can help you if you don't have a problem. You are just asking pre-emptive questions. Follow the thread, and if you have problems, ask how to fix them. Like I said 2 or 3 times, there is a way to unbrick the phone now, so if it bricks, you can fix it.

Hi I've finally downgrade it was simple

So I just have a few for questions

I don't get the cfw and how it is different from the preloaded also I watch this YouTube video where he flashed the preloader and the cfw thing he said only flash A10 ROMs

So if I flash A10 cfw I can only install A10 ROMs

What of I want a a11 Ron do I flash the a11 cfw to install a11 ROMs?

Hello Everyone, i have a Redmi Note 8 Pro Global that i downgraded from MIUI 12.0.6. to MIUI 10.0.1 Global ROM with SP Flash Tool using the BROM Utility following this Guide:

UNBRICK BEGONIA NO AUTH

Requirements: 1) PC 2) Internet 3) Patience Windows Method: • Download this file - Click-Here (Download from Telegram) (https://mega.nz/file/A4YSEZaA#0Jk3_jH8uVtMnATciVRtWw2r_SH0NPLq4P6SrGNuwJQ)

telegra.ph

Now i tried to flash the preloader_begonia.bin and the lk.bin (lk & lk2). After i successfully finished the flash and i turned on my phone there comes "Your System is destroyed" so i had to flash the original preloader and lk from the MIUI ROM.

Why does this happen? Could be a locked Bootloader a Reason?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
Check the ROM you want to install. Each ROM will tell you which cfw to flash.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
Did you unlock the bootloader and confirm it?

Why did you use the unbrick method to downgrade your phone? Was your phone bricked?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Lemao pls help my ass:
Thank you very much for replying many times

I just read the thread again and now understand a good amount about the

Preloaded and cfw agin thank you much :)

I do have one more question tho in the thread to flash the preloaded you have to go to CMD

But I have seen in YouTube search Anti brick preloaded ---. First fastboot then open the file and just click flash noath all.bat? Is this right
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mobile-User_2021:
Yes, more or less, i bought it as a used one and the seller did not delete his MI Account and other stuff, as i performed a factory reset a black screen appears saying "This Device is locked".

The seller didn't remember his password and won't take back the phone so i spended a lot of time by searching the inet and trying a lot of diffrent methods to disable the Mi-Account and the Mi Account Lock. Finally I had success and disabeld the Mi Account lock, the Mi Account and all communication with Xiaomi Servers.

I flashed the phone many times trying diffrent methods and so i also tried to flash the preloader and the lk suggested in the first post with fastboot and the SP Flash Tool. But it only results in a black screen saying "Your System has been destroyed". I flashed it on the MIUI 10.4.1.0PGGMIXM Global Firmware.

My Bootloader is still locked (I flashed in the EDL-Mode with the BROM Bypass Utility) and maybe thats the reason why it failed or there is another reason i dont know at the moment.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
Yes, if you're using windows, you have to use CMD to issue fastboot commands.

You need to download the preloader and lk files in this thread and flash them using the commands in the instructions in this thread.

You don't need anti-brick instructions. You are flashing preloader and lk.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
You need a MI Account to unlock the bootloader. What do you mean you disabled the MI Account? And how did you do that without the password?

We need specific information to help you out. 'More or less' doesn't really help us. If you can turn on the phone and see something on the screen, you don't have a hard brick.

1.

At what point do you see " Your system has been destroyed"? Immediately when the phone turns on? Or after the redmi loading animation?

2.

Can you still boot to Fastboot mode?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mobile-User_2021:
I discribed it here in another Thread how i disablet the Xiaomi FRP Protection and why i had to do this.

Its also a good guide to disable the xiaomi FRP Protection when your phone is "blocked"

1.

I see this Message after flashing the preloader_begonia.img and lk.img from the first Post on my Phone runnig MIUI 10.4.1.0 with SP Flash Tool at the first boot. No Logo, only the Message "Your System has been destroyed

2.

No, only EDL Mode is working

Maybe i need a additional boot.img or a "factory bootloader" to get it working?

As i flashed the original preloader and lk from the firmware package back to phone it start working again.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
Ok, so, if you can't boot the phone and only have EDL mode, you won't see anything on the screen. You won't see "Your system has been destroyed" in EDL mode. So which is it?

If you only have EDL mode and the screen is black and won't boot, try this.

I have already unbricked my device with this manual. Ihad to format the FRP Partition, the MI Account Partition and the userdata Partition to disable the Xiaomi FRP Lock (because this phone was locked by FRP Protection, thats why i'm doing this. But as i explained here and in other threads, it's not a stolen phone, i buyed it as a used one and the seller didn't remove his MI Account because he has forgotten his password and wasn't able or not willing, to help. I have the full package and a bill from a xiaomi shop in another country from it so i think it's ok). With the Guide on telegra.ph i could flash "new firmware" (MIUI 10.4.1.0 Global) and it worked after i cutted all possibilities to communicate with the xiaomi servers to preventing a relocking of the device.

But as i flashed the preloader and the lk from this thread in the first post there comes the message "Your system has been destroyed". As i flashed thee original preloader and lk from the firmware package back it works as before.

I can only do flashes in the EDL Mode with running this BROM exploit.

Do you now understand what i mean?

Did you flash lk too?

fastboot flash preloader preloader_begonia.bin
fastboot flash lk lk.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk.img

After that, you flash the non-cfw Android 9 recovery, and then you boot into recovery.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
No, I'm still confused.

I asked if you can boot to fastboot, and you said,

No, only EDL Mode is working.

As i flashed the original preloader and lk from the firmware package back to phone it start working again.

If you can get the phone working again, then you have fastboot right?

Also does it work no matter what you did to your phone
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mobile-User_2021:
First i get my bricked Phone running again with flashing the Stock ROM MIUI 10.4.1. with Android 9 Kernel with the SP Flashing Tool.

(As i said before it was first on MIUI 12.0.6 but blocked by the MI-Account FRP Lock. I had to format the MI-Account Partition, the FRP Partition and the userdata Partition to remove the lock and cutting off all things that is corresponding with the Xiaomi Servers to avoid a relocking of the Phone. I don't know if this is important).

Then i flashed the preloader.img with the factory preloader and the both lk with the files provided in the first post here. This time the fastboot mode worked well. But after flashing i rebooted and get the message "Your System has been destroyed" on a black screen.

So i had to flash back the preloader and lk comes with the original MIUI 10.4.1 Firmware Package.

Unforgently it seems to be impossible for me to flash a custom rom with the SP Flash Tool, i also cannot flash the twrp recovery. It seems there is no custom rom outthere wich contains nochting of Xiaomi stuff. I would love to use a custom rom without any Xiaomi stuff inside, maybe such a rom will be aviable in the future....

Another Detail, my Bootloader is still locked, maybe i have this problems because of this? I'm not able to unlock it because the MI-Account bounded with the phone is this from the seller where i buyed it from and he has forgotten his password, doesn't use the phone number and E-Mail Adress from the MI-Account or is just not willing helping me. He got the cash for the Phone.

(i buyed it from a second hand internet site and it comes with Mail and the original package, charger cable, headphones and a bill from a Xiaomi shop in Praque/Czech Republic, but i'm living in Vienna/Austria so it's quite impossible for me to visit the shop in Praque)

I know my Situation is quite complicated but i managed it to downgrade it from MIUI 12.0.6 to MIUI 10.4.1, removed the MI-Account FRP-Lock and after cutting off all communcation from the phone with xiaomi servers i can use it as a daily driver. But there are a bunch of original Xiaomi Apps on it i don't use and so i would be happy if there exists a costom rom wich contains nothing of this xiaomi stuff.

I hope you understand now better the situation i facing with this phone. I'm sorry for the late reply because in real life i have a lot to do in my job and moving to a new house outside of Vienna
