Hi Sir! thank you very very very very much!!! you just helped me to fix my phone and now I will be able to attend my online class again. I bricked my phone cause I'm trying to make it faster. Thanks a lot! God bless and keep safe.

[@Xenophoresis]

I was using a GCam tool and the tool auto-locked my bootloader and now I'm stuck with the system destroyed message and I cant access TWRP and cant flash this stock img file with the flashtool. what can I do? (It's been a while, I was watching your vids back in galaxynote2root 🤣) Edit: Sorry, I just had to type fastboot oem unlock and it did the trick. anyway, keep up the vids, you are helping people

[@clydedrexler2088]

how about error lock state

[@layscutie]

your a life saver sir imma subscribe you

[@patrick-zg8dq]

it says device is locked cannot erase. please help me

[@kreemcat]

Bro I deadass thought I just got myself a bricked phone. Tried flashing a custom ROM in my Poco X3 which I just bought a few weeks ago and kept getting stuck on recovery. I love you man.

[@TheLukas9922]

Thank you, Max! All the tutorials using just ADB tools didn't help, yours was harder to follow but worked! Thought my Redmi Note 7 was bricked but now I finally fixed it!

[@TheForbiddenSquid]

dude can you help me fix mine cuz we have the same phone model but the difference between mine is I have a broken power button

[@bacarypabybadji1735]

Hi Max, i have a problem with my mi9. I tried to flash it and chose the clean and lock option. But the rom I chose didn't work, now the phone is in fastboot mode and I can't flash it, because, I think the lock has been removed. What I can do?

[@pnddrw]

it says on mine error:failed remote: not allowed in locked state

[@ruslayer3888]

Hey. I'm sorry for the annoyance and I know you probably won't see this. I bricked my mi 9t and it seems like it's the same as this but with major problems. It doesn't show up as an adb device and mi flash doesn't work. Do you have any ideas? Thank you if you reply.

[@kentgaldo5607]

Hi, I have a redmi 5 plus china version flashed with pixel experience caf rom, can I flash a global rom directly on the device or do i have to go back to the Chinese version and flash the global rom?

[@edgardogarrido8897]

If for some reason you already installed ADB drivers but your phone is not being detected on miflash then open the miflash folder and create a new folder named "log" then refresh miflash and your device should appear on the list

[@DataRadar]

Still working in Aug 2021 for my Poco F3 thanks

[@ikottiz-b]

Thanks! Accidentally bricked my Redmi Note 12 4G tapas while was trying to install custom recovery (did something wrong like not wiping data and having internal storage locked), got into fastboot loop where I would not even be able to see "fastboot" logo, and your tutorial helped me! Thank you!

[@ZetFinlSevn]

if your MI FLASH TOOL don't see your phone just create new folder on Mi flash tool folder and name it "LOG" then install drivers again, they should install done and mi flash toll start seeing your phone after refresh him

[@dirkdroid]

Hey! Your tutorials are always the best. I broke my Mi 10's screen and had to go back to my Redmi 4 Prime. I tried to root it but ended up getting stuck on the Fastboot screen. I made a mistake of looking at other tutorials then I remembered you! Followed each step carefully and...VOILA! Redmi 4 Prime is back in business! Thanks!! Just a tip. Make sure that you put the extracted tar file on your desktop. The lesser the folder the Mi FLash tool is going to go through, the better, otherwise, you'll encounter problems flashing the original ROM.

[@BIGMACMCDONALDLEE]

Good to hear! I made this tutorial so it can work for any xiaomi phone.

[@GANSTAR123ful]

You need to have unlocked bootloader to flash... I never wanted to do that, cuz I didn't expect such crash message after trying to downgrade. If I would done it earlier I have to use a lot of patches for gpay and services like that (didn't want to do this because of chance of being bricked)... So now I end up with brick with locked bootloader, lucky me.

[@dirkdroid]

@@GANSTAR123ful My bootloader was unlocked. It's just that it has been a long time since I've rooted a phone that I've forgotten the process.

[@ChocolatePope]

It's not my first rodeo, so I would probably manage somehow, but your video made it so much easier. So here's my genuine thanks. Thank you!

[@abcdelmo]

Is there a way to flash without unlocking bootloader? Like restoring the rom. Something happened to my Not 7 and cant get past the boot logo.

[@corneasp9418]

This is my problem too. It bricked itself while updating miui and it's locked.

[@jardinebautista5961]

I just wondered how can I flash my Redmi note 8 pro when the bootloader is locked and the device is bootloop; mean I can't reboot it to unlock the OEM option. Please advise.

[@sahilnegi8447]

Mine too pls solve our problem

[@ayoubriyad6445]

Thank you so much for this video, but when trying to flash on mi flash tools I have this error : no such file or directory help plsssssss

[@metinisakhanli6914]

Huge Thanks to you Lee! I was facing this issue for about 2 days. i found this video with my pc on youtube. i didn`t regret. Again thank you so much! now my mi 9 works as good as before.

[@jackgb7702]

Thanks Max. This was so incredibly helpful. The only thing was that the ADB driver package suggested here did not work, I tried installing one from another source and it worked 100%. You saved my phone from the trash! All the best, keep up your excellent work!!! :)

[@ProfitableAgribusinessIdeas]

Hi Max, thanks for this video. Do I need to UNLOCKED the bootloader /USB debugging first before flashing? I have tried but it's seems not working. flashing is just only a second. If yes, how to unlock it considering I cannot open my phone.

[@axceljr6445]

same problem, did you find any solutions?

[@eggmabien]

this helped and worked for me. Thanks Max, been watching some of your videos for last 6+ years.

[@Fahad-sx4eu]

Successful. Best KZbin in the world. Thanks a lot sir. Love you from India.

[@conreyallansadaya3171]

downloaded a fastboot rom, connected phone on fastboot mode because it is bricked, but when click flash, I get error! please help!

[@lucassigolo6284]

Eu consigo fazer o unbrick para você

[@amasoftyou]

I had a water damaged of my Poco F3, it suddenly acted weird, then its dead. Later i tried to switch on, it goes directly to the fastboot screen, and nothing can be done it will always goes to that screen. I disassembled the phone, and found water at the bottom speaker, I clean it and dry it for two days. Btw my phone unlocked and used PixelPlus Rom at that time. Then still no luck after ive tried everything i can found in the net. Then i tried your method, and have to like three times before I could flash my phone. The weird things is that the mi flash tools shows error, the flash is not completed, " not catch checkpoint," But this time the phone boot to the Rom. Im so glad and thanks a lot to you man! The only things that confused me is how can water damaged makes my phone goes to fastboot screen? As my phone already unlocked, using twrp and custom Rom and this factor makes my phone weird after water damaged? And then " not catch checkpoint," the flash is not done: this is the message i got but the phone booted normally later. Dont get me wrong im deeply grateful but it just weird. Maybe someone can elaborate on my issues. Thanks and cheers

[@fredob7207]

my mi 8 keep giving me the (error cannot erase lock boot or something like that)...can you hellp i can not unlock my bootloader without having the phone working to bond it under developer

[@MarcosDocabo70]

[@gameplayforever3586]

Hello. I have a problem. I cant find the redmi 8 rom on that xiaomi firmware site. Where can I download it if it isnt there ?

[@mayukhganguly]

It's giving me an error "No catch checkpoint(\$fastboot -s .*lock).flash is not done."

[@zep0th370]

ME TOO HELP ANYONE

[@Utkalputra2024]

Mine is Redmi note 7. The screen shows The System has been destroyed. Vol+ and power button combine doesn't work. Vol - and power button takes it to fastboot. The phone bootloader is in locked state. I don't remember the MI account credentials. What should I do

[@Kwetiawbabii]

I was up all night trying to figure out how to bring back my Mi 9 back to life - Did every step in this tutorial, but nothing good happened. Then I randomly tried re-flashing using the good old Mi Assistant (on PC) and Recovery Mode (on the phone), IT WORKS!!! And it only took me like... 10 minutes (only for the flashing part). And you guys can download the recovery ROMs from Xiaomi's official website. Goodluck!

[@kubakopkowicz7763]

Hey, any idea what should i do now? i'm doing exactly the same way as you, but when trying to flash, there is "flash xbl error"

[@WonGZK]

what about hard bricked ,any fix pls....?

[@BIGMACMCDONALDLEE]

There is no known hard brick solution on xiaomi.

[@WonGZK]

sad :(

[@curtisice2823]

hours spent on youtube and thisi is the method that actually worked...you put the links for downloading without redirects or ads..man God bless you Lee✌ saved me in s7 and now xiaomi..viva

[@kuzumo398]

My phone is not responding no sign of life at all even when its plug to the charger can i apply this to my phone. All i did was restart my phone and it didn’t turn on again its been 12 hours

[@baht-3an-hakika]

My brother, please, my phone system does not exist and I wanted to open the bootloader but I had a problem: "please add your account in miui settings developer options" what is the solution please

[@Sami-hz2bp]

[@girigirininja9798]

Hey, I bricked my phone when I flashed a Rom version that isn't for my device and I also locked it when I flashed my device. Is there a way for me to unlock the phone again without sending it to a repair service?

[@usedfilmproductions6207]

This saved my life. Thank you so much. I think I will be staying away from custom roms for a long time. For anyone that is very confused about custom roms and doing the entire process I'd recommend doing the same (Mi 9T Pro)

[@r1see]

I accidentally wiped vendor and system and thought I bricked my device xD This video saved my Mi 9t pro

[@RajPatel-co6yz]

hi i am stuck at the screen where it says the system has been destroyed and my phone's bootloader is locked. any solutions for that?

[@methegorgeous3320]

doesn't work. the phone bootloader is locked. and the miaccount wants the confirmation code to send by sms to number which i no longer have. and no email was ever added to miacc. any advice would be much appreciated.

[@shehatagabr2532]

What if the bootloader is locked and the mi flash tool says cant install in lock state ?? Please help me.

[@shafhan_farizi]

my phone accidentally relocked the ubl and finally I was stuck in fastboot mode and couldn't do anything, is there a solution to this problem?

[@twistedlimb2392]

Hi, quick question though, While I'm flashing my phone, it gave me an error and suddenly booted up and went to the home screen (which I finally unbricked my phone). I was wondering if I should reflash it again? I was anxious to think that there might be some compatibility problems in the long run while I use my phone, thanks!

[@Vexeu]

My device keep restarting after this, someone knows how to fix this?

[@redxelz]

what about unable to boot in fastboot? i did install TWRP on my device and boot normally to TWRP. however, when installing rom, i could not find my file from OTG so i tried to reboot/TWRP. And right after that it did not boot up to either TWRP and Fastboot..m

[@droid6943]

Can you still use the Netflix app after unlocking the bootloader?

[@NitishBhardwaj0510]

what is the comment about android version? What is with the upgrade to pie install oreo thing? I flashed the ROM but my device is still stuck on mi logo after it automatically restarted.

[@kulitgelap9435]

hey i have error massage ( check device console) but when i check bootloader is unlock

[@lesmanaseamon]

[@markjosephc]

My RN7 stuck in fastboot also but even in power mode pr going to recovery mode it still going to fastboot mode, how to fix this?

[@REDOX_Life]

But I have a problem. When I flashed a ROM to happen to do I forget to change the "'close ..." for "clear all". Since that time I can't to flash Rom, I can't to flash or run TWRP and Magisk. Could You help me?

[@iragrahamiii6367]

My Xaomi does not even come on, No screen like you are showing. It is the Mi 9. Any help would be appreciated.

[@alexaastilla5603]

hi. tried this and mine says "erase boot error", did I do something wrong?

[@hatfu7188]

does it also work if the device says "the system is destroyed"?

[@Kauleas]

What happens when you have an A/B slot phone like the Mi A3? My B slot works fine, A slot no. Can't boot into recovery or any rom.

[@amirkhan-tr5ij]

My poco F1 is stucked on Fastboot mode even after flashing via mi flash tool it says success on computer but fast boot mode still on poco screen Earlier used a lot of custom roms without issues this time it's messed up. Any other way to sort this out

[@abdulraufali9232]

if you can share all the links from where you downloaded these tools to work. then that would have been great

[@sppederguybb3484]

[@nikkojohnrea3955]

Sir I have an error "flash crclist error" … what do i need to do?

[@nikkojohnrea3955]

I'm done... Hehe thanks

[@sibu1234567]

Thanks dude it really helped my fuck up of deleting system on twrp. For those that have an issue with MiFlash saying "cannot find flash script", just create an empty folder named "log". Then the install button for the driver will work. Follow the rest of the video to get it working. Also it seems you can unlock the phone using the MiUnlock program even if you are stuck in fastboot. The program seems to be able to detect and tell me the phone was already unlocked before

[@paescucharagusto]

Thanks for the folder tip. Also, people, remember to restart pc after installing the drivers.

[@lewiscajucom9001]
