[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] datinghusein:
Good Evening,

I have an Android Phone REDMI 6A from the licensed distributor in Indonesia.

The warranty for my phone already expired and I'm tried to Root my REDMI 6A.

I'm searching for the step to Root and here what I get:

1. I need to click 7 times in about to open developer option

2. Allow the USB Debugging

3. Do the unlock bootloader with Mi Unlock (I'm already success and when I'm reboot in below screen there is a text "unlocked"). But it's weird when I see another thread that say for the unlock we need permission from Xiaomi that needs xx days to unlocked legally. But in my case I don't need to wait for xx days.

4. The next step for root is I need to flash with Mi Flash Tools and here is the nightmare when I'm follow the steps and in the steps stated not tell to choose "clean all". In my case the choose for Mi Flash is default in "Clean and Lock" that you can see in the right down below from Mi Flash Tools App.

5. That's it. Flash is done with the option "Clean and Lock" the phone is reboot and Ohh my Goshhh..... the Phone is not working and screen display to Mi Recovery with error "MIUI Versions can't be installed in this device"

From what I read in many threads the situation I'm in is :

1. Flash wrong ROM that makes my Phones Bricked and the protection from Xiaomi is on

2. The bootloader that Unlocked now is Locked and that makes the USB Debugging off too

I'm already do this:

1. Used the SP Flash Tools v 5.1924 with information for SP Flash tool:

a. Download Agent : MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin or MTK_AllInOne_DA_4-19_-signed.bin

b. Scatter Loading files : MT6765_Android_scatter.txt from many ROM Fastboot (Global, China and Rusia)

c. auth_sv5.auth

2. Test in SP Flash Tools "Download" and click the download and then I'm hold volume + in my phone (the battery is disconnected) and then connect the phone use USB cable.

When I'm see the device manager Mediatek USB Port is appear but in SP Flash get error BROM error status_brom_cmd_send_da_fail (0xC0060005)

3. Test the "Format" option in SP Flash Tools with option "Manual Format Flash" and change the data needs from the scatter.txt:

a. Begin Address : 0x5588000

b. Format Length : 0x100000

3. Used Minimal ADB and Fastboot and use command:

a. ADB devices : not work --> I think it's because the usb debugging off. Before when I'm try this when my phone still on this command list the

detail of my devices

b. Fastboot devices : It's work when I can go to fastboot screen (it depends on luck when I'm try the SP Flash tools and I will modified it with

Volume - & Power before connect to PC with usb cable)

c. Fastboot oem device-info : not work

d. Fastboot unlock OEM : not work

e. Fastboot reboot : work but still stuck at Mi Recovery

4. Used Mi Phone Assistant (condition in Mi Recovery choose Connect with Mi Phone) and do the flash ROM used Global, China, and Rusia ROM and still not work.

It works for miui_HM6AGlobal_V11.0.7.0.PCBMIXM_755e2b7216_9.0 and in progress to 100 % but after reboot will stuck to Mi Recovery again.

5. Try Mi Unlock but it's not working

6. When I get to Fastboot sceen by luck I try this too:

a. Used Mi Flash 2017.4.25 with option "Clean All" used ROM (Global, China, Rusia) for flash. Click refresh and the devices is appear and when

click Flash (after fill the path ROM) it's error

b. Used ADB to know the status of my devices (locked bootloader, etc) with command fastboot oem device-info but error

I read if the condition is like this, I'm must flash it to original ROM or China Version. But please tell me how I do that?

I'm already searching and download many ROM (fastboot and recovery) but when used in Mi Phone Assistant to flash ROM it's still not working.

Please tell me if there is some way to restore my REDMI 6A to normal condition (no need for root first).

The condition I'm in now:

1. I have a Mi Account

2. Sometimes by luck I can get to Fastboot screen

Kindly appreciate if you can solve this problem. :)
