[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] go vegan:
Bricked with a locked bootloader - "

This MIUI version can't be installed on this device

"

I can get to "adb sideload" and fastboot, but the bootloader is locked :(

Can I unlock the bootloader with EDL? Can I access EDL with an EDL-cable? Or do I need to open the phone and short the EDL pins?

Can I recover the phone from a Linux computer? Or do I need Windoze?

Is it even possible to un-screw this phone?

Any help appreciated.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Redmi 4A abdal:
how did you do this?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] go vegan:
1- Checking if this problem is still a problem with custom ROMs; it is, and thus I believe it to be a hardware fault.

2- Done testing, re-install stock stock ROM, lock bootloader via adb; bricked phone.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Redmi 4A abdal:
ok, you can run edl mode but its no good for you, its already locked by xiaomi, ( go ing to fastboot mode and give commands something like this " fastboot boot edl")

* do you see padlock lock sign when you go to fastboot mode

* try to flash vbmeta in fastboot mode

* try again to flash correct version miui fastboot rom with mi flashing tool with out selecting lock bootloader
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] go vegan:
I can get to fastboot by holding power+vol-down. There's no lock icon.

On Ubuntu, I don't think fastboot is compiled to support rebooting into edl. I tried editing the source, and I'm not sure if I did it right, but the binary I built did not boot the phone into edl.

Using these commands:

fastboot flash vbmeta /tmp/platform-tools/vbmeta.img

fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta /tmp/platform-tools/vbmeta.img

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta /tmp/platform-tools/vbmeta.img

They all give the same result:

target reported max download size of 804274176 bytes
sending 'vbmeta' (4 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.006s]
writing 'vbmeta'...
FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State)
finished. total time: 0.007s
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] T.Y.M.SAI:
Try to unlock bootloader using cmd and then vbmeta
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] go vegan:
I'm not sure what that means.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] T.Y.M.SAI:
There are 2 ways to unlock bootloader

1. Official way using Mi flash tool

2. Unofficial way using cmd

There are lots of videos on how to unlock bootloader using cmd go and try them

Most important is to keep your phone charged
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] go vegan:
1- That requires access to a working phone.

2- All I'm finding is instructions for how to type "fastboot oem unlock" on a Windoze computer.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] KijemGoPL:
Did you found a way to fix the phone or unlock bootloader?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Yuki1001:
You have 2 ways to get out of this situation.

1. Try to unlock the bootloader with the Mi account you used last time.

2. If couldn't unlock, then switch to EDL mode. Use a no auth programmer to flash the correct variant fastboot ROM and the device should boots up. Then add account again and wait for 168 hours for unlocking.

Since we've got no auth programmer for Sm6125 we could use EDL mode freely.

Hi there @go vegan , have you already fix your phone again? because i also got the same situation 😥 on my redmi 6. or is there anybody who can help? thanks
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Araskho:
Hi all add me to the list with a k20pro.

The device was unlocked at the start, i got MIUI 12.5 global and flashed with miflashtool.

but wipe and lock was active.

now the phone comes up to the recovery menu and says the miui version is not for this device.

When I try to flash to another version, miflashtool says the device is locked,

when I try to unlock while using the account the device is registered in, miunlock says go to settings >developer options> mi unlock status.

Gave it to a repair shop for 1.5 months and nothing. I live in Iran so no authorized service centers here.

I have access to fast boot mode and recovery.

I tried xiaomitoll V2 which had a specific question asking if my device would show This MIUI version can't be installed on this device in phone is bricked option. It goes to get china official Rom but then errors.

I'm a noob here so any help would be great, tnx.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] TECHtacian:
I have encountered the same problem a few hours ago with my beloved Redmi K20 Pro. My heart became gloomy thinking that I have no way left other than having to take to an authorized service centre where they will rip off the back cover. But then I stumbled upon this simple solution that took me a minute or two. This is how I solved it:

Entered the fastboot mode

Connected the phone to my laptop using the USB cable

Opened the official Mi Unlock Tool and logged in with my Mi account, and

Clicked on the beautiful UNLOCK button!

Boom! The phone is back to its vibrant life! I'm just happy again! 🤩

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] komow:
The solution to the problem is simple.

into fast boot mode,

Run unlock again!! Obviously it's locked. When unlocking is executed,

the same screen may appear again. Please do a reboot. You will definitely see the MIUI installation screen.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Shiva5558:
Device: Redmi note 7S

I found a solution and it worked for me:

1.Download the bat file and execute in your windows pc : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NqPotx06yRuhPsOdEAdS4JNsk7qWWchF/view

2. After that use the MI unlocker tool to unlock the device.

3, Use mi flasher to flash the Rom.

After the hours of research in the internet i found the solution.

Thanks
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] plaja:
What do you mean by "execute in your windows pc"? Sorry for asking
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] Shiva5558:
I used my windows pc to flash my Redmi note 7s device. After you brick your device you windows system don't detect your usb driver. this bat file will fix the issue. then you can easily unlock the device and flash the rom.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] dzkjdxUESTC:
I am a Chinese user, I bought the domestic version, and flashed the international version. Since I wanted to see if it could be locked, I tried it and successfully locked it. Go to the recovery interface "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device", so I can't start my phone, so I decided to unlock my phone again, I unlocked it with the Chinese version of the official unlocking tool, who knows the prompt "Unknown error", and the software also reminded me to update to the latest version, so I tried it, and after updating to the latest version, I really succeeded in unlocking. Important point: I was logged into my Xiaomi account before this, so I was able to unlock it here. I want to tell everyone: you should use which version of the official unlocking tool when you bought it, you can't mix it up.

Good! I tried the same thing before searching solution, it works!! Don't know what's the problem!
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] iflex sam:
It works for me!

if cannot use boatloader you can just open back the miunlock and sign in again, then you do the unlock again. the device actually has been flashed to your rom that you want to upgrade/downgrade. The Mi just locked the device because you do the clear and lock. if you do the clear all will be no problem.

follow my step just using the Mi Unlock then everythings will be fine!

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] geraldmany:
not really, send back to china to service for 100 dollars or something with edm, im still waiting for possible solutions or maybe to be possible to unlock after a week or month, if i dont find any solution within a month or so then i think i'll send it back to china for service as a last resort.. :/
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] andersonjacson:
Hi. I had success.

Search for @Rkddevilyt (https://t.me/rkddevilyt) on telegram. I payed 35 dollars. In 10 minutes he solved my problem with remote support.

I recommend.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] geraldmany:
Anyone who might have the same situation, i found a simple, but effective solution, not sure if it works on every xiaomi device, but i will write down the steps here:

You need to use XiaomiADB, here is the download link and the description for how to use it -> https://xiaomiui.net/how-to-use-xiaomiadb-8044/ (if the page is not available, then feel free to msg me!)

For xiaomi adb, you need to go to 3rd option on the miui recovery screen, NOT THE FASTBOOT

So basically i went through the steps to “xiaomiadb sideload_miui <filename>”

And I tried to install a rom, BUT IT DIDNT ACCEPT IT!

The message was:

ERROR: This rom cannot be installed, server code -> 2001, server message -> Can't install unofficial rom

after trying 4 times all the same and: Installation of this rom via stock recovery is not allowed by Xiaomi

Says Installation failed, and then i just decided to download another rom so i PLUGGED OUT THE PHONE right after this, and went to another room to connect to wired network, to download and try a different rom... when i came back, to all my surprise, the phone was turned on, so i went to the setting dev ops and enabled bootloader unlocking, linked it to my account enabled adb and everything that is needed to flash another rom later, so then i rebooted and again, miui recovery 5.0 screen, but now i enabled unlocking, so i put the phone in fastboot, and tried MI UNLOCKER TOOL again, now it says: Please unlock 168 hours later. And do not add your account in MIUI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.

So that means, after 7 days i wll be able to unlock it, until then, i can turn it on with the above method, in short try to sideload (copy and install) a rom to it, and then after it failed, plug it out and just wait like 10-20 maybe 30 seconds and bam your device is normally booted... I hope it helps to some of you, (i have been searching for the solution for almost a week, my other option was to pay someone who can MAYBE do it or send the phone back to china and pay the repairs, so im really happy with this method! If it helps to you, please reply so i and the others will know that it worked! Have a nice day! :)

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] dealstokie1972:
Just can't find a front and rear case that I'm 100% with. They are mainly to Bulky or to flimsy.

Ao at present I'm using front, rear and hinge 'screen protectorso

Think I might be being foolish though. Guarantee I drop it now!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] hazem77:
Same here actually. I have the Armid case from Samsung but I usually prefer phone naked so it is the same with Fold 2. I didn't remove yet the inner screen protector but planning to.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] carlitos66:
I was using the phone without any protective case because like you said, none of them fits 100% to my liking, and guess what happened. I have dropped the phone from 2 feet and cracked the edge of the front screen. I couldn't sleep for 2 days how upset I was, but fortunately my local Samsung care center replaced the screen right away for roughly $150.00, but they installed new front screen that has absolutely no factory screen protection, so I am using the phone naked outside. Yesterday my Ringke case arrived so I put it on immediately, just in case but it's not perfect. But I will have to live with it. I am receiving Samsung Aramid case tomorrow, so I will see which one I will keep on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] D.J.ChriZZ:
I don't know if this idea is good to remove the inner display protector. I don't do this. for what ? perhaps scratches in the inner display ? not for me :)

has anybody removed the outer display protection ? I think this is not a big problem cause gorilla glass victus is here.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] njan_ivide:
It doesn't matter what sort of glass it is, if you look at the right hand side corners the glass is bulged out so any impact there will 100% shatter it. I had/ have a note 20 ultra with a broken screen, still under repair (for more than a month now) so don't completely trust the victus branding.. glass is glass and glass breaks :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Martin5000:
I removed the inner screen protector as I didn't like the feeling of it. It was also very difficult to keep clean of fingerprints and smudges and I was unable to see past that.

Now, the screens looks and feels ALOT better, but I've noticed some small scratches on the screen. They appear to come from my left thumb nail while scrolling. Even though I keep my nails fairly short. The scratches are only visible when the screen is off an from the right angle. I can't feel them, but they can be wiped away.

There aren't enough bad scratches to bother me yet and I don't regret removing the protector... but I thought you should know.

If the scratches get bad, I'll get a screen replacement and maybe consider a protector... but I'll only keep the phone for a year, so it'll probably be naked again even after a replacement ??
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Dr8ven:
I went naked as well for tha same reason I couldn't find a good case...stock screen protector inside and out!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] krabman:
No protectors inside or out, no case, pure naked. It's a joy to run this way but one little drop later I could be weeping like a schoolgirl with a skinned knee. That window ends in about a week as I finally found a case as premium as the phone and I'll be in a wallet soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] D.J.ChriZZ:

this fits very good !

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] atvxda:
I'm not prone to dropping my phones or having butter fingers, however I don't want to chance it. So far I have purchased a Whitestone dome for the front (have not installed it yet), Samsung's aramid and leather cover (still waiting on my leather cover to arrive). The last phone I rocked without a case was my HD2? That thing is a tank!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] adeltamimy6:
No case ..

Only screen protector inside and outside
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] hazem77:
My simple experience after around 2 months of use. I finally got the courage few days back to remove the inner screen. Knowing I prefer always my phone without a case and a protector.

The inner screen , without a doubt is way clearer and less smudgy without one and it is perfect.

Anyways, I have already bought 2 orotectors, both are somehow the sam price, however, one turned out to be excellent and as good as without protector and one is more smudgy than the original.

My recommendation for ones who doesn't want to keep inner screen without protection is to get the good one, you get the best of both words, clarity and protection.

I have the samsung aramid case since day one but I never used to be honest, only the first few days...

The good protector and the bad one in sequence:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] PipoXtreme:
I just removed the inner (original) screen protector and installed matt hydropel screen protector. The original one is really just badly ;). I like the matt taste now on the inner screen and of course no fingerprints anymore...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] BigMosley:
I went ahead a few days ago and removed the inner and outer screen protectors. The inner was getting nastier looking with smudges plus I signed up for Samsung Care+ so if anything happens to the screen I only pay like $29 for a replacement.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tyguy:
Perhaps a stupid question but ...

If you swap from one SD to another it usually shows the first one ever used as StorageCard and the second one as StorageCard2 (guess something like a digital signature like other OS's do) and so on.

So far so good but the registry has links only to installed programs to "StorageCard". Is there a way to either CHANGE the name of additional storage cards that it remains "StorageCard" or an easy way to change ALL setting in the reg at once.

Sure, premises are that all programs exist on each SD card in the right directory structure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahrami:
try to use pocket mechanic to flag properties of old and new card

i have no experience just a suggestion
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gavink:
I recently had a problem that may help you out... For some unknown reason, my one and only "StorageCard" suddenly became "StorageCard2". So, I had a "StorageCard" directory that was empty and all my stuff in "StorageCard2".

Long story short, I removed the card, did a soft reset, deleted the "StorageCard" directory with File Explorer, powered off the Tilt, inserted the card and powered it back up. After all that, I had my "StorageCard" back.

Unless there's a script or utility floating around here, you may have to go thru a similar procedure when you want to swap cards.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PerfAlbion:
Note that the "Phantom Storage Card" problem often comes from saving mail attachments to the storage card or having other applications write data to the card while running. The phone cannot release the card when it's removed (no "safely remove" option a la desktop windows), so you end up with a directory in main memory.

If you're encountering this problem frequently and have room in main memory, disabling those options and storing things in main memory often avoids the problem altogether.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gavink:
Thanks... I thought my problem was related to mail. When it happened to me, the only thing in my "StorageCard" directory was mail. I suspect that I had done a soft reset and my Tilt processed some incoming mail (Exchange) before the storage card was ready to go.
