[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
Hello everyone,

I bricked my new xiaomi pad 6.

It came in Chinese Version, with global MIUI 14.0.5.0 with unlocked bootloader.

I used MiFlash to flash the MIUI 14.0.8.0 global, but I did terrible mistake to select the "cleanall and lock" option (no comment please :) ).

Now my tablet is stuck in fastboot, with locked bootloader. The OS doesn't start, adb doesn't work, I cannot restart in recovery or edl mode no matter what keys combination I try.

The only thing that works is connecting in fastboot via console.The device is recognized, but I cant unlock from there. And the commands to restart in edl do not work.

Miflash doesn't work anymore because of the locked bootloader.

MiUnlock cannot work because I cannot enter the device anymore to enalbe usb debugging, developers options and unlock oem.

Now I ordered a edl flash cable hoping that it will allow me to enter in edl, but I have no many hopes...

Any advice? Please read carefully my post before :)

Thanks in advance to anyone who will try to help me.

I think you can just put TWRP on it.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] cmz6996:
Do you have a image for the pad 6?
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
Can I install TWRP even if the bootloader is locked? With MiFlash? I don't think so.

My tablet is in fastboot loop. No adb, no access to edl, no access to the phone to change settings. And locked bootloader.

From my understanding the only possibility I have to unbrick is entering edl mode but I don't know how. I tried from command line in fastboot or with some keys combination but it doesn't work.

Any help appreciated.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] satxpatx:
You must unlock bootloader again with mi unlock tool and install twrp on it. Remember: once you unlock bootloader you can't relock it except using paid edl method.

The link to download mi unlock tool:

Apply for permissions to unlock Mi devices

en.miui.com
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
Thank you for the advice. But I can't unlock the bootloader using MiUnlock because the tablet is in fastboot loop. So i cant access it and enable developers options and enable unlock oem from the menu. :-(View attachment 6021523
[Xiaomi Pad 6] mvikrant97:
Your solution is to use authorised flash service for your Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
Hello I used authflashprotool:

1) first I did a fastboot to edl, after this step the device was successfully recognized as qualcomm 9008 in device manager

2) then I flashed the last chinese fastboot rom (I verified the serial number on the back of the tablet on the xiaomi site and it is chinese). The flashing finished completely then the tablet rebooted....

AND.....BAD SURPRISE...

The tablet is still stuck on fastboot mode as before 😭😭😭

What should I do??? Maybe buy some auth service to unlock the bootloader? I found one but it is expensive, around 30 $....
[Xiaomi Pad 6] rarbanoobdev:
So is your tablet working now
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
No it is like at the beginning: stuck in fastboot mode. I think that I will try again with miflash "authorized" and if it doesn't work I will try to unlock the bootloader with authorized service.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] vsoma:
Have you tried flashing china with mi flash by any chance?
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
I flashed China but not with Xiaomi Miflash.

My last attempt before doing the unlock will be:

1) auth fastboot to edl

2) MiFlash-Authorized flash chinese rom + lock
[Xiaomi Pad 6] rarbanoobdev:
I feel really bad for you,Hope your device gets fixed soon

Btw any opinions from ur side

(what to do and what not to)

because I'm going to flash my tab 6

With pixel experience next week and I've never flashed any device before

;-)
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
In MiFlash, check "clean all" option.

I selected "clean all and lock" and as my device was chinese and I was flashing Global my device softbricked and all the mess started.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
🙏🤣🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

It woooooorked !!!!! After 1 month and half after I bricked my tablet I was able to unbrick it!!!!!

Soooooo happy !!!!! Like a child !!!!!

The resolutive action has been to:

1) buy an auth service to do "fastboot to edl"

2) buy an edl key to flash a chinese rom with MIFlash, selecting the option "clean all and lock".

NB VERY IMPORTANT !!!!!! you can select the option to lock ONLY IF you install the proper region ROM (chinese for chinese devices, global for global devices)

All the mess in my case was due to the fact that I didn't know that my tablet was chinese, it came with bootloader unlocked and global rom installed. I didn't know anything of these things, and when I saw that the OTA updates were blocked I flashed the new global rom locking the bootloader. This was how I bricked my tablet.

PS for the french people: I bought my tablet on CDISCOUNT marketplace, I have been completely abandoned by them and by the vendor. Also Xiaomi france abandoned me even if I was ready to pay their reparation: as soon as they discovered that the tablet was chinese they didnt care anymore of me.

So please share the word!!!! Never buy in Cdiscount !!!! And personally this is my last Xiaomi device!!! For me it is not possible that for their commercial policies they abandon their customers even if they are ready to pay!!!

I hope my experience can help other people!!!
[Xiaomi Pad 6] rarbanoobdev:
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

How did you buy auth service
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
I answered to you in private
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
I just did OTA official updates, everything works just fine.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Reset_web:
I have the same problem, fasboot blocked and Main menu in bootloop, what software did you use to force EDL?
[Xiaomi Pad 6] adbbulaa:
How did you buy auth service
[Xiaomi Pad 6] silcrox:
This is what I did months ago, I don't know if these services are still active or not, I don't take any responsibility:

1) Buy some credits on to do fastboot to edl.

In theory you could use that tool also to flash the device but it didn't work for me

2) buy a edl flashing authorization key on

This tool is blocked by antivirus so you need to disable it or create an exception

in the tool you need to use miflash option, i installed a chinese official rom in a chinese device and i selected the option to lock the bootloader (look at the youtube videos to see how it all works).

You can use this tool to install the drivers for fastboot and for qualcomm, otherwise after step 1 your device will not be recognized as qualcomm and the flashing will not work

Good luck

[General Questions and Answers] Walden0:
Hi, I recently got a moto g54 5G and having a strange issue with charging.

It is charging fine when switched off and when in safe mode, but not when booted into normal mode. In normal mode the average speed is below 1000 mah, taking about 6 hours to full charge.

I can see that in safe mode the system apps and settings stay intact, only the user apps are disabled. So I am clueless as to what can be affecting the charging speed in normal mode.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Walden0:
thanks for responding but none of the situations apply to my case.
[General Questions and Answers] Dayuser:
Do you have optimized charging enabled? Try charging without optimized charging.

If that doesn't help, then maybe factory reset will help or not.
[General Questions and Answers] Walden0:
Hi, yes it was enabled by default but i had tried with both enabled and disabled modes to no avail. I guess factory reset would be last resort, though im still perplexed about how this can be possible.
[General Questions and Answers] JULIUS_PONOZKA:
Did you end up resolving the issue?

My G52 charges around 1000 mah from a source that other phones do 2500 mah.

At the same time, when I connect it to different source, it goes even up to 4000 mah.

Don't understand this behaviour.

Hi All,

i've buyed a konvoult of phones and there were two of them with carrier lock. One is Verizon and the other is AT&T. How can i get rid of this carrier lock? It's the Snapdragon version.

I hope someone can help...

[Asus Zenfone 9] sab_vab:
Hi Everyone, I have been using Zenfone 9 for quite a while. These issues are listed after using software version WW/EU_33.0804.2060.189. I request all of Zenfone 9 fans and users to keep putting your valid issues here so that Asus will take a note of it. As zenfone 9 is a niche phone, if we won't raise a voice here, then Asus might not pay attention to it.

1. GPS: GPS taken 5-6 seconds every time to fetch my location and this is across all the apps. On google maps too, it takes time to detect location after I turn on GPS. Also, during using navigation when I am walking on foot, the direction of the arrow is incorrect. It is incorrect by 30 degrees or so. I hope Asus fixes this perfectly with a software update.

2. Voice after making a call: On incoming or outgoing normal call, for the 1st 2-3 seconds, the other person can't hear our voice at all. We have to wait 2-3 seconds and then speak 90-95% of times. This is the most annoying and critical bug.

3. Wi-Fi icon on status bar: When Wi-Fi is already on and you swipe down notification panel only once, the Wi-Fi icon is not filled with the color of the notification menu. If my notification color is blue then the icon should be in white with the circle colored in blue.

4. Notifications delay: How can a phone with snapdragon 8+ gen 1 and 8 gb of RAM cannot send notifications as soon as they come? For many apps, the notifications are delayed, viz WhatsApp, Instagram, SMSes and so more. Asus, please fix this or just remove notification option completely because what's the use of delayed notifications?

5. Camera: Turn on HDR and you are a tomato coloured different person altogether. Overprocessing in zenfone 9 camera is so aggressive and inconsistent that the app feels useless sometimes. Selfie camera is good though. @asus, you sell this phone with gimbal as the main feature and can't even make sure Camera is the best thing that this phone must have? Please fix it.

I request moderators and Asus developers, if any, on this website to take a note of these and fix those on priority before software support for this phone expires.

@all Zenfone 9ers: Please copy and paste your issues on the Zentalk link shared below and also here if possible even if you have posted them before. So that all these issues get highlighted at one single place and Asus takes a note of it.

[Asus Zenfone 9] Pierfranc:
I wrote a new discussion here and also on Zenfone 9 Asus forum. I am not a random user that buy a phone and accept it as it is because it's new and looks fast. I test it and I compare it with other devices on many sides. I made a list of the issues I have found on this phone and I didn't find these on galaxy S9, a phone that was sold in 2018 and it has less powerful hardware than Zenfone 9. THAT'S A SHAME to have these basic issues, UNACCEPTABLE considering the top hardware of this phone. I could only say it would have been better to have a bigger aperture for the camera but in the dark the pictures have enough light. The problem is that gimbal doesn't do enough in dark environment and pictures are very blurred if the phone isn't enough stable. Is it only useful for video? Because sometimes the videos are shaky too and lose some FPS. Many reviewers just don't say all the things or they are not able to because they are incompetents. But I noticed that many of issues are because there is a lag, a delay, it's the phone lagging. The moment the screen is pressed is not the moment the phone reacts. Since the hardware it's good you don't feel it too much, overall, but I think it's because maybe there are some hidden processes or bloatware on the smartphone and they are not only apps. If a clean version of the stock ROM would come maybe the phone would be much more performing
[Asus Zenfone 9] teothecool:
I also have another issue to add and wondering if anyone else has this: ghost touches. I get them mainly at the top of the screen and for some reason mainly in WhatsApp. These are particularly frustrating because, as I type, there can just be a random back arrow press or even worse, an accidental call. Tried everything besides getting a new phone, super annoying problem.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Pierfranc:
Yes I noticed that too. The phone it's great overall and can't be left in this way. I still want avoid custom rom. Sometimes it touches wrong point of display and sometimes it doesn't receive the input also if touched so have to retry. Also physical buttons have this issue, pressing volume buttons when in standby doesn't change it for the first time. And when the screen is off and try to double tap to reactivate it not always it will turn on with the first try. I have to see if there are some bloatwares to be uninstalled that maybe can cause the issues.

Thanks for your bugs list (unfortunately not solved with december update).

I never got answer to the worst troubleshooting (perhaps I'm the only one to have observed it) :

bug "app isn't available"

Hello, in Android, there are 2 navigation modes: gesture or the 3 buttons. On the Zenfone 9, I'm encountering an annoying bug: I can't access certain recently opened applications via the "recent apps" button. The app window is visible, but when I click on it, the message 'app isn't available'...

zentalk.asus.com

In brief, I cant't reach most of recent apps and I always get an error message :

[Asus Zenfone 9] oraclexl:
I'm having this exact same issue too. Googled around and thought I was the only one.

Zenfone 9 256GB model
[Asus Zenfone 9] wafwafwaf:
My friend who has 128 GB version never encountered this troubleshooting.

Unfortunately, Asus helpdesk is very silent on this problem affecting the 256 GB serie.

It's as if these terminals have a major RAM management problem. For example, if I leave an application running in the background (like e-mail or the calendar), when I click on it again, I never get back to where I was in the navigation. You always end up back where you started. My friend has never had this problem on his Asus 128.

I hope that one day, the manufacturer will have some consideration for the 2-3 rednecks that we are, having bought the most expensive version but which suffers from a flaw worthy of the first Android phones.

Like a big update a little more complete than those basic pushed by Google?

Coincidentally, at the same time, Asus no longer allows you to unlock the bootloader, which would enable you to get around the problem by installing a less buggy ROM than that of the 256GB series, which doesn't support such a large amount of RAM.

In short, double the trouble. And I can already imagine the typical response: "just wait for Android 14, which will solve all your problems!"

But of course, and the groundhog puts the chocolate in the foil (French expression)...
[Asus Zenfone 9] sab_vab:
Post this issue on the zentalk thread mentioned above. Admins might take a note of it. Its a critical issue.
[Asus Zenfone 9] wafwafwaf:
I did, in vain: https://zentalk.asus.com/t5/zenfone-9/bug-quot-app-isn-t-available-quot/td-p/399797

Sorry, but has anyone ever received an answer to their problem on ZentalkAsus?

On a more serious note, this is a community self-help site, as the manufacturer has totally deserted the after-sales service area, to the point that no one even offered to send the terminal in for repair!

In a word: radio silence on my question, as with most of the outstanding tickets on this channel.

If only Asus would take our feedback into account and work on its OTA upgrades, but what the hell: it's just a way for us to complain somewhere other than in Amazon comments and and keep its score intact.

While tinkering in the 'developer options' menu, I found a workaround setting that reduces this untimely error message (which, remember, is displayed when you want to access an open application in 'recent apps'):

Good luck!
[Asus Zenfone 9] NisseGurra:
I think ASUS given up the Zenphone series, updates almost nonexistent and bugs do not get fixed.

Promises of unlocking of bootloader was false, i guess the Zenfone 10 will be last in this series.
[Asus Zenfone 9] wafwafwaf:
OK, it's one thing for them to stop making Zenfones and focus on the Rog range.

In the meantime, the least they can do is release patches to fix major bugs. What do they pay their developers?
[Asus Zenfone 9] mati5000:
I have the same BUG on Motorola G42

2. Voice after making a call: On incoming or outgoing normal call, for the 1st 2-3 seconds, the other person can't hear our voice at all. We have to wait 2-3 seconds and then speak 90-95% of times. This is the most annoying and critical bug.

I think, that problem may be related to the audio framework in android itself.

Hi Eveyone,

Need a little help from you. Is anyone from you facing the below issue?

Issue: GPS takes 8-9 seconds every time to fetch my location and this is across all the apps. On google maps too, it takes time to detect location after I turn on GPS.

I am told by moderator that this might be a hardware issue. If everyone/many people are facing this then how will it be a hardware issue? I am staying in India and warranty is not applicable here. Please comment if you are facing this issue too. Thanks in advance. 😊
[Asus Zenfone 9] sab_vab:
Is anyone facing the gps issue?
[Asus Zenfone 9] palamosteliaro:
In google maps it locks in 2-3 seconds in an open area. Maybe you are around buildings? Try running this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en and see if it locks faster. It downloads gps data and helps get a lock faster.
[Asus Zenfone 9] sab_vab:
Thanks. I will try this for sure. But ideally in today's time even a $100 phone should not have this issue. 😅 And here we are, facing this on a flagship device.
