[Rom][NXH20B] Huawei Watch 2 BT LEO-B09/LEO-BX9 Global Fastboot [Factory Images] - Huawei Watch 2

Finally The wait is over
For all of you outside waiting for Global Firmware ROM... here it is:
I have tried it in a LEO-BX9 working flawless... last version received with chinese firmware by OTA was NXH19R
As previously done text is copied from giangishanghai as most are applicable. Thanks @giangishanghai for all the help and the patience :angel
- Make sure you have ADB activated on watch and all files needed on your pc (there are plenty of guides on xda so please search and read it if needed).
- Download 7z file from here : https://mega.nz/#!ozB12QrD
Decription Key
!U6_ZwGwPNUNj3P0PCfpsDtVoGpPG_x1csvR8I1ECOqU
-Edit: You will find 6 .img files:
bootloader, boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata.
-EDIT: In this link you will find whole Recovery software and images if needed:
https://mega.nz/#!YiZkjKyR
Decription Key
!vlUDAZz3mEJsSOpKYgbX5YaITUN59uL3YaVRSOtpVcU
-Edit: Before going to Bootloader, make sure ADB is working and your watch is recognized properly:
Run
Code:
adb devices
Result should be your Watch ID and the word "device" (unathorized or anything else will not work, when unathorized appears make sure to check your Watch for a prompt to authorize something, as it is in Chinese, choose the option with more characters - third one as I remember-)
-Boot the watch into bootloader mode
shut down the watch, press the power button and quickly press twice when the first vibration finished.
-Use the following commands one by one:
(DO NOT flash the bootloader.img)
IMPORTANT!!!: Make sure to run ALL commands below, from the ADB folder, where you have to previously copied all 6 *.IMG files, otherwise you will receive a lot of errors.
For Example if your ADB folder is in C:\adb, the command prompt should be in "C:\adb" so you make a DOS dir command and you see all 6 *.img files plus some ADB files
Then start with following commands one by one in exact order....
fastboot oem unlock (no needed if you already unlock your watch)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
DONE!!
EDIT: ****PLEASE READ IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY TOUCH ISSUES******Thanks @mcdull
I were able to flash the rom without any issues. HOWEVER...
Originally I suggested NOT to temper with the bootloader so that we can keep the very low level of the device untouched to prevent hard bricking.
But I experienced inaccurate touch screen after applying the ROM. And then I finally convinced myself to flash the bootloader to see if it can fix it.
It is now confirmed that flashing the bootloader will NOT change the model number. So the device model is determined by its hardware. And I can check the FCC of Leo-bx9 in official website, so there must be somewhere in the world selling this BX9 with global rom.
What's more important is that the touch screen is now working perfectly. All part of the screen is now touchable and accurate.
All in all, if you have any touch issue, you may be able to resolve it by flashing the bootloader. Bare in mind that Huawei can be told that you have tempered the bootloader if they dig deep. But I am prepared to give up the warranty for a Global Rom.

*****END OF EDIT******
After all this steps your watch reboot and the first thing you will see is a message in English, then you can choose the language you want.
Please don't forget to say thanks and also to @giangishanghai who was really really helpful on remote assistance and also @mcdull who was always promptly replying to help the community

Thx all you guys

Will try this out today
I have a LEO-BX9 currently running the Chinese ROM version. I've downloaded the new files. I will try this out later today and post my results as well.
A real huge thanks for getting the ROM and posting the steps. I've been following the forum for a month and it's impressive to see how you guys kept at it until you reached the finish line! Keep up the good work bro's! @giangishanghai and @dr_chch - You guys rock!
Edit: Works flawlessly! Just follow the instructions to the letter. Shiny new English ROM purring like a kitten!

Big thanks, I have the chinese LEO-BX9, works perfectly. the installation only takes less than 2-3 mins.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
So, somehow I made it work. But I didn't do the commands properly and now the watch seems to be bricked. Is there any way I can bring it back into fastboot mode so I can flash the image correctly?

Managed to get into fastboot and it seems to work fine. Thank you

What is the difference between this and stock?

On download completion, find the .exe file in the zip archive and open it with any compressed file manager, where you will see several .img images. Flash them right onto your watch following the instructions on https://forum.xda-developers.com/wa...09-leo-bx9-t3616779/post72542838#post72542838 with ADB and FASTBOOT tools.

Hi, I flash your images, everything works normally expect notify. When notify appears on phone, there is no vibrate and no sound on wear, just notify card shown silently.
My wear had global version system, but Google Map gave a wrong location, so I try China version.
I use light flow to test notify. When I open option "silence phone while wearing watch", phone doesn't sound too but still vibrate. If I close this option, phone sound and vibrate. But watch always doesn't action.

I tried the international image on a LEO-DLXX, works fine, but without the SIM capabilities (4G, calls and etc), and during the boot there is a message about being using a different operating system. I suppose you'd get the same with the Chinese version.

Bootloop 2013 Moto G Boost Mobile XT1031 8GB

Hey guys!
To start, I want to say what an amazing place XDA is and how much information and knowledge you can get from here and how awesome the moderators are. I don't think I could ever find another amazing and/or helpful community such as those found here! Thanks to all who have helped me out with my Android issues!
Now to my issue and I apologize ahead of time if there is another thread (or related thread) found in the forum.
As the title states, I have a 2013 Motorola Moto G XT1031 Boost Mobile device. I had upgraded it to Lollipop 5.0.2 or 5.1 when it came out (I can't remember which one it was) and I had then decided to root it. I can say that I believe I was successful in rooting the device because I was able to install Supersu and use RootChecker to verify the install. Everything was going okay until i decided to research and eventually install a custom recovery and attempt to install a custom ROM. Well, let's just say that the recovery install was a bust...
In doing my research for a custom recovery, I found that TWRP had a custom recovery for my phone and apparently for my firmware via TWRP's app on the Play Store. So, I searched for my device in their in-app search for a custom recovery, downloaded it and installed it from the app. Now, my gut told me that this probably wouldn't work and that I should probably be installing a custom recovery via CLI. Nope. I didn't do this. Instead, like I said, I installed a custom recovery from the app itself. That screwed things up for me. I have no idea if it was the install, but my phone began to act incredibly strange. When in the TWRP recovery, my screen had this line that would continuously scroll from top to bottom. It wasn't a completely solid line, but it was transparent, almost like an empty thermometer glass stick was going down the screen. It was weird and not normal. I figured the phone's software was partially broken. It only did this in the TWRP recovery. Nowhere else did this happen. It was slightly annoying.
Later on I decided to install a custom ROM. Again, I did the necessary research to find out if there were any ROMs available for my phone (using XDA of course and others) and found that there were a few out there. So, I downloaded one (wish I could remember which one) and attempted to install it...keyword there. After attempting the install, my phone would not boot. Like at all. Dead. So back to the drawing board I went to try and reverse the damage. Using XDA (ironically) and a plethora of other sites, I tried to resurrect my phone and bring it back to life. After countless hours of trying and trying and trying and more and more research, I just gave up. The phone is dead. Great. $170 spent on a phone to break it a year later.
It's been roughly 4-5 months since I have attempted to redo the process and after another minor attempt, somehow I was able to remove the root completely, including the custom recovery and ROM. I don't know what the heck I did, but it worked....sort of. The phone is now stuck in a bootloop on the logo and sometimes the "bootloader has been unlocked" screen when try and factory reset the phone from the default recovery. When trying to reinstall the stock firmware, I read everywhere that I need the phone to have USB-debugging set and to have this and that. I have this and that installed on my PC, but obviously cannot enable USB-debugging which is needed for ADB and fastboot to recognize my device.
So, my question for anyone who would like to help me out is this: what are my options? Is the phone recoverable? Is there any way I can get ADB/fastboot to see my device and finally install the stock firmware on the phone? I have the proper drivers installed and ADB/fastboot are on my PC. Any help would be amazing, even if you have to tell me to junk it.

This is incorrect, where did you read that? To reinstall the stock firmware using fastboot, you must be able to boot to the bootloader menu only.
I heard this from a few websites actually, although I could never find a situational fix for my phone. I am trying to restore back to Lollipop without a custom recovery, because within the past hour I found out TWRP was never fully removed when I tried booting into recovery from the AP Fastboot menu when doing to power+vol down option. The TWRP logo shows for about 10 seconds and then the phone tries booting normally, showing the unlocked bootloader warning.
So, yes I can boot into the bootloader menu all day long with no problems. It's just an selection I make doesn't get me anywhere. My question I guess now is: how do I go about reinstalling stock firmware via the bootloader menu. I have Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed on my PC. If I need the full ADB, I can download that. And of course I'd need the firmware, too.
You can find stock firmware images in this thread, there's also a link to an installation guide there:

I am trying to follow the steps listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219&page=35 and for some reason I cannot run any of the commands pertaining to the sparsechunks. This is what I get:
Is there anything you could tell me about that?
Edit: I was able to figure what the issue was when trying to write the sparsechunks. I had to insert a "." after 'sparsechunk' because that is how the file is named in the folder. However, now I am getting a new error, but it takes place on the phone screen. Every time I attempt to write a sparsechunk, it will initiate the process of doing so, but on the phone I'll get what appears to be an error saying, "Image is too large" in pink lettering. Why does this happen? Each sparsechunk file is at least 4MB less than the max-sparse-size according to the ADB and my phone, which is set to 256MB. Is there any way to change that?

Check which sparsechunk files you have and make sure you flash all of them in ascending order. If it still fails, copy/paste the contents of your command prompt window (no screenshots please).

I will try that. There was a ...sparsechunks.0 as well apart from sparsechunks.1, sparsechunks.2 and sparsechunks.3. Shall I include that, too?
And adding the screenshot was an amateur mistake. My bad.
@_that this worked like a charm. Phone is 100% working ans usable now. Incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!

Does anyone have any info on the manufacturer of this phone https://www.coolicool.com/meiigoo-m...ore-55-inch-25d-fhd-screen-android-70-g-45698 I have brought it just want to have a read up about them
I wonder the same, saw it at geekbuying for about $200
Root
Has anyone been able to root this phone? I've had no luck with the usual one-clicks, and google searching for this phone is like being in purgatory.
bump
Should have one in a couple of weeks. Are you able to get to fastboot and/or adb in recovery?
There is a bootloader unlock toggle in developer options, and I have been able to access fastboot. My only concern was flashing a potentially incompatible recovery - I've flashed and rooted a few phones before, but I've always just followed guides. Glad to see you're getting the phone.

Once in fastboot you should be able to do a fastboot oem unlock
From here you might be able to boot a twrp recovery.img from a similar device fastboot boot recovery.img (this wont flash the recovery just boot it to test if it works)
Otherwise a TWRP port will need to be done which will require the recovery.img from this phone. The MK Droid and SP Flash tools dont work with the MT6757 in this phone. I have only found SpaceMKTool to work - but it is too limited in function yet (maybe root function might work).
This is my wife's phone so I have to be very careful at my hacking or she will hack me
Haha, that would not be good. I wasn't aware you could boot a recovery without flashing, kind of like an OS on a USB drive.
I appreciate your effort, it is a shame not many people seem to have bought this phone since it has good hardware and supports every radio band I need (T-Mobile). I'll be waiting patiently to see if you make any progress.

I tried a twrp image from another 6757 phone but wasnt sucessful. I have tried to extract the existing recovery.img to see if I can port it.
Its not well supported yet but its a top phone for the money.
---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------
**This is a very early test**
* removed it didnt work *
Its a stab in the dark as I couldn't get the original scatter file off the device but took one from another 6757D device.
The stock recovery image uncompressed OK so thats a good sign. I copied the relevant files across to the port and recompressed.
make sure you run fastboot oem unlock so you can run the test boot.
I wouldn't flash this until you are able to boot it first using fastboot boot recovery.img. If that doesnt work you could try fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img
Once I get some time with the wife's phone I will try to boot it but unlocking or locking the bootloader does factory reset the phone so I need to do it when I have time to reset her stuff.
Hopefully you can test but I don't take any responsibility That's the fun or early testing
** Update **
Was able to port from a Meizu recovery and flash. It is working but display is upside down so now I need to work on either getting another one or somehow flipping it.
So the good news is
a. the stock recovery.img is good and I have a way back if I need to
b. I can boot the twrp_recovery and work upside down to backup / root and restore
I'll keep testing for a prefect finish
So this is the twrp recovery ported from Doogee Mix
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3FXCUVt554MZFd1SnRYZW95Rms/view?usp=sharing
** It is upside down - but usable if you think opposite of where the touch should be **
So far I have tested rom backup and that seems to get the right partitions.
I will keep searching on how to flip this darn recovery image.
Thank you for the port, I hope you can get the correct rotation, I was wondering if there is any ROM developer around, I would like a clean optimized ROM for it, pico gapps and hope to get less lag sometimes, if it is possible to get the latest security patch or Android 8.0 it would be awesome too

I see that other party hears lot of background noise when i do video call in skype or whatsapp. They hardly able to hear my voice, its mostly complete static noise. Issue is with all video calling apps. Also Waze nagivation app keeps crashing . Anyone noticed these problems? Are there any workarounds or fixes ? Or is my phone a lemon ?

ROOTING Note 10

Hi all,
Someone know How can I Root my device?
You can not yet...
First stage would be unlocking the bootloader ... which Huawei now deny you the ability to do.
However it appears someone is offering a working unlock service.
People are reporting it's legit for the P20 / Pro.
Be careful though.

As a fresh owner of Honor Note 10 I was curious if it's possible to have the bootloader unlocked. Just finished chatting to the admin from the website and he claims that YES, they offer this service for 30EUR. But then I asked him if there's an actual way to root the device and he wouldn't know. My point here is: there's not much of a point to have an unlocked bootloader if you can't get the root on the phone. I think we will have to wait a bit longer till someone gets a working root method. I wouldn't mind to pay for having the bootloader unlocked (for reasonable amount of moneyh) as long as it works...
You can't have root without the unlocked bootloader.
So of course there isn't a root method yet ... because no-one was previously able to unlock the bootloader.
If that is now possible, then a root method will inevitably come.

Given Huawei's recent dull attitude that reads something like "LOCKED BOOTLOADER is for your safety only" (BLAH BLAH BLAH), reasonable doubt of a commonly available ROOT for this magnificent device is more than imminent...
But hope is all there's left, right
If one enterprising individual has found a way, and is charging €30, then others will find a way too, and will provide it for less / nothing eventually.
He's just the first, and good for him.

Hmmm... there seems to be some work in progress alright regarding a custom TRWP for Note 10, if the google translator works fine, that is:
https://translate.google.com/transl...m/thread-17327282-1-1.html&edit-text=&act=url
And the bootloader unlock code might get somewhat cheaper, too:

Let's wait and see, I guess
Just to keep this thread alive, does anyone happen to have an access to the Chinese Huawei club forum with TWRP recovery? I'm unable to download the img file there as it requires to have a chinese phone number to register on the site. All it takes is to have that file downloaded. I'd like to volunteer to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP through adb interface and try to root the Note 10 with Magisk or SuperSU just to see if it works.
Anyone with Chinese Huwaei ID willing to download that file, as seen here:
https://club.huawei.com/thread-17327282-1-1.html
Any help is much appreciated!

Can anyone download Official rom 108 from below baidu link. Atleast it will be useful for recovery if something screwsup. baidu is somehow extremely slow to download and connection resets for me after few hours. Please share once you are able to download.
https://pan.baidu.com/s/1-JF43jLbz2WcTMurYHm0Hw
Password : 6c52
Process :
Unzip the compressed file and copy the dload folder to the SD card.
forced upgrade:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the Note10 three physical buttons (volume up and down keys, power button) until you enter the recovery to upgrade
2. If the upgrade is successful, the machine will automatically restart into the system;
Tip: If there is a problem with the upgrade failure, please check whether the SD card upgrade package is copied to the specified directory and the upgrade package is the SD card upgrade package of the product.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated?.
The good news is I got my bootloader unlocked. The bad news is the apk file requires root, which I was hoping to obtain by flashing a custom TWRP image. I thought that's what it was available in that Huawei club Note10 forum...
Ah well, we have to remain patient till someone actually releases a working TWRP for Note 10. Sooner or later, I guess ?.
Cheers!

How did you got it unlocked?
i know there are many pid sources but was waiting for someone to confirm they really work for note 10. Can you please share where you got it from?
Sure, I've posted the link already:
https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
I chose the fast 1-20min option and it was done that way, indeed. You must pay upfront, of course. They generated the unlock code for me and all I did was a few lines in cmd powershell while phone was in fastboot mode.
There's an ugly message coming up everytime I boot saying that my device has an unlocked bootloader?
But we need a custom CWM or TWRP image now?
I wonder if there's a stock boot image of Note 10 floating around online, perhaps in Huawei Chinese forums?

Just did some digging there and actually, you can find a working firmware file 125 for Note 10 online. Chances are even the latest 132 build is there somewhere on Chinese forums...
I'd recommended you to get the bootloader unlocked from the link above, if you have a good idea how to proceed with root? My skills are way too limited, I'm afraid?.
The good news is I got my bootloader unlocked. The bad news is the apk file requires root, which I was hoping to obtain by flashing a custom TWRP image. I thought that's what it was available in that Huawei club Note10 forum...
Thanks for your reports.
TWRP image file is included in K-RecTools_8e.apk.
Rename apk to zip and decompress it, you can get the twrp.img.
i will be a Guinea pig and see if it works. i should have my bootunlock code from the link above soon and looks like we have a twrp (hopefully it works) from a few posts back. i shall try and download fhe 108 firmware just in case i get bricked. when i get home. will keep you guys posted.

OK now. I managed to flash TWRP on the phone successfully. However after i tried to flash Magisk, the phone remains unrooted So it's a no for me. Any idea why?
There's a red error stating coming up twice: failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy). But the Magisk zip get installed anyway. So what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: the bloody TWRP is password protected. My pin password doesn't do the trick...
EDIT 2: OK, just removed my lock screen in phone settings, no errors in TWRP anymore. But after I flashed Magisk (no erros again), phone still remains unrooted? What the hell?
What version magisk are you using

[ROM] ZTE Visible R2 Stock firmware

Here is the stock firmware including the firehose needed to flash it
B10 Firmware
Here
B12 Firmware
Here
ZPI file for ZTE SalesMultiDL tool
Here
Here is a step by step guide on how to flash the stock rom with QFIL and by extension any image.
Download and install the Qualcomm drivers from here
Download the firmware from above
Extract the firmware to a folder that you can easily access them from like your desktop
Download and install QPST from here
Open the QFIL application (Find it in your start menu)
In the "Select Build Type" field select Flat Build
In the "Select Programmer" field navigate to the folder you extracted the firmware and support files to and select the prog_emmc_firehose_8917.mbn file
Select the "Load XML" button and navigate to the folder you extracted the firmware and support files to and select the rawprogram0.xml and then the patch0.xml when prompted.
Plug in your tablet
Run the following adb command "adb reboot edl" (Now the screen should be blank but the led light should be red)
If the text at the top of the QFIL application says "No Port Available" click the "Select Port..." option and pick your device. If your device isn't showing up there you didn't install the drivers properly.
Click the Download Button to begin flashing your device
Here is the Stock wallpapers in case anyone wants them

DISREGARD. Looks like out of date info.
Any of you able to get fastboot working on it? ADB works, but my fastboot doesn't detect the phone.
Nice looking out, just ordered one.
Using one of the hidden activities app from the play store. There is an option to change from LTE to 2G/3G/4G under one of the phone settings. But calling still did not work with either AT&T or T-Mobile.

Just a heads-up: even if you found the files for the A0722, you'd brick your R2 if you managed to flash them. The chassis and screen seem to be the same, but they're completely different specs-wise. Given that the A0722 has a different SoC and an eMMC chip 2-4x larger, I doubt you'd get real far in the flashing process in the first place.

In my case my main goal was to use it and the factory software to learn about mbn files. I've dealt with LG's TOT and KDZ files but not the mbn's. Thanks for giving folks the warning though.
Would it be possible for someone to grab the download URL for whatever OTA update is available for the device? I don't think it's anything major but I'd like to poke around at it; the firmware uploaded here seems to be from launch.

I've got a logcat recorder queued up to be installed and will try to grab an url by starting the download. If that fails there are a couple of alternatives....someone who has DONE the upgrade could rip the rom and make it available if @deadman96385 can point to some instructions on how to rip the rom.
Also you can always let your own upgrade occur because he's already provided the original software and QFIL which would let you restore to original factory and get the update again.
As a last resort I can grab the log from my ROUTER that the phone is connected to and try to get the url that way which I've had to do with SOME devices.
I'll probably end up taking the OTA again anyways as I've been messing around with the firmware from the first post. Honestly, I'd really recommend staying away from flashing it without a good reason. Even when the flasher works, either the logging and/or the flasher hangs and it's close to impossible to tell which without unplugging your phone. If a partial flash leaves you in a state where you can't get to ADB to boot to EDL mode, you'll have to boot into diagnostics mode, use a piece of Chinese software to boot from there back to EDL, and within five seconds or so, close that software and start the flashing process from QFIL before the com port stops responding to requests, leaving you to reboot the phone and start again.
I've been trying to get non-LTE networks and calling working, but it's entirely impossible to tell whether my tweaks are having unintended side effects or if the flashing just crapped out partway through, even when I'm just flashing single partitions.

Redmi Note 6 Pro Unbrick in EDL Mode - I Need Help!

Hi everyone,
I seriously need some advices since I can't manage to solve my problem.
BEFORE YOU READ:
A month has passed, and I couldn't manage to recover my phone. I decided to buy a brand new phone for my brother.
The thread is going to stay there, since I hope it could be useful for people luckier than myself
The Problem:
My brother found his phone (the Redmi Note 6 Pro) turned off.
He wasn't able to turn it on.
I could manage to wake it up by pressing volume-up + power
very strangely, it directly turned into the OS (and not into the TWRP)
"but ok, at least it turned on" I thought
After only a few minutes, the phone suddenly turned off and from there my journey started to became a p**p
I'm not able to enter into recovery, and I'm not able to enter into fastboot neither.
I realized that the phone is fu--- ehmm I mean bricked. The funny thing is that we haven't done anything strange.
Some useful informations:
latest TWRP was installed
I was on the latest Pixel Experience Extended ROM (Android 11)
No custom kernel (I kept the kernel included in the PEE ROM)
No Root
What I tried:
Since it was impossible to do anything, I followed some guides (found here and on Youtube as well) and I opened my phone (if I'm lucky, I haven't destroyed anything ---- YET ).
I managed to enter in EDL mode
my Windows PC is able to recognize it on the COM / LPT ports as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
I downloaded the Mi Flash Tool
I downloaded the Boot Firmware and the two special files (prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf and prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf) following this video link (please don't blame me, but I haven't found anything here)
I put the files inside the image folder
I tried to flash the firmware via Mi Flash but I got a funny error: "cannot receive hello packet"
Thinking that I was doing something wrong, I downloaded the latest Mi Flash Tool but nothing
I downloaded the latest tulip global image but nothing
I authenticated with the mi account into the tool (technically it shouldn't be needed) and... guess what? nothing.
I'm totally out of ideas. Of course I tried to reconnect the phone multiple times (shortening the two pins every time). I also tried to disconnect the battery and going USB-power-only.
Every time I get the "cannot receive hello packet" error, and suddenly the procedure fails saying "Riferimento ad un oggetto non impostato su un'istanza di un oggetto" (italian, that means "Object reference not set to an instance of an object").
EDIT: this error is also listed as "Null Reference Exception" (since it seems to be caused by the following exception: "System.NullReferenceException" - as you can read in the log I included)
Any ideas? What else can I try? Have I done anything wrong?
This never happened me before in almost 10 years of flashing. And, you know what? I just learned how to destr--- ehm open a phone! (...I used the little metal tab inside a Monster Energy can as tool *coff coff* -- C Y B E R P U N K)
Thanks to everyone that will try to help me. Every suggestion is appreciated*
*but please don't suggest me a trash can

tried to disable windows' driver signature: same issue
tried to disconnect the phone display (seems weird, but why not giving it a chance): same issue.
I also downloaded Mi Flash Pro, which should work even without an authorized Mi account. But I get the same damn error.
Disperate up. You guys are my last hope.
Hello @Gh_Racer I got the exact same problem. Found my phone turned off 2 days ago, when I tried to turn it on the miui logo appeared. turned off and that was it. Not been able to turn it on after that. Did u by any chance fix the problem? Thanks!

Damn, really? That's pretty disappointing. These cases are becoming suspicious... maybe that could be some kind of programmed obsolescence(?)
Just for curiosity: were you on stock MIUI or did you have any kind of modifications?
Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to do anything so far.
I loaned my old OnePlus 5T to my brother for now and I think that we'll buy a Redmi Note 10 as soon it will became available in our country. Of course I'm still here for any kind of suggestion until then.

I was on the official MIUI, I didn't do any kind of modifications to the phone. I found it also weird that we have the same problem around the same time. Maybe it's related to an automatic update? mine was like that when I woke up in the morning the day before it was in perfect condition. Let me know if u manage to somehow fix it and I'll let u know if i get it working. (btw I also ordered a new XIAOMI phone red note 9 pro lol)

I was on a custom ROM, as I said in my original post, so I won't point my finger to an automatic update. Maybe, maybe, some google-thing update? But I'm really sceptical that it would even be possible to hard brick a device in this way.
That's really weird, anyway.
Ps. Have you tried to open the phone and flash the fastboot + ROM in EDL mode?
I have not tried it yet. Do u have some links or tutorials on how to do this? I just received the kit to open the phone. I thought at first it might be a battery problem since the phone doesn't seem to charge at all when I plug it in electricity.

Here are some videos I followed. Do it at your own risk.
Phone Open + EDL Test Points *
Mi Flash Procedure in EDL Mode**
if the phone is not recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, you need to install the drivers
This should work for both locked and unlocked bootloader devices, if I'm not wrong.
Here's another useful and complete guide.
This guide is not for the Redmi Note 6 Pro, so don't use the provided ROM and fastboot. Just follow the procedure, that it's the same for every Xiaomi phone.
* I don't know what kind of nails that guy has lol Keep in mind that you have to heat the phone up with an hair dryer in order to be able to work with the tools (the body is pretty tight).
In the video is not clear, but the phone has two slots: the first one is made for replacing the screen, and the second is made for taking apart the back cover. Pay attention to this (I didn't know this detail, and I took apart my screen during the first attempt).
** During the flash procedure, I get the error I mentioned in my original post. I'm not sure if it's related to having an un-authorized Mi account or whatsoever, I haven't found any clear confirmation about that.

I need to search for them, since I downloaded things from a lot of different sources (I also deleted the one I downloade, since I did lost my hopes). I’ll update you in case I’ll be able to find them.

So, exactly, what did you do? You unplugged the cable and attached it again shortening the two test pins? Or you simply attached it without doing anything special?
I wasn’t able to solve the hello packet error.
I don’t know what the xml error is related to, since I couldn’t manage to communicate with the phone. I have no suggestions for this, I’m sorry.
Hi everyone...
Two days ago my Note 6 Pro woke up the same and after doing everything described above and even being able to successfully flash via EDL,
it remains the same and without changes.
I explain...
It turns on and stays in the MI logo, when trying to enter the recovery it stays in the TWRP home screen and only allows to enter the FASTBOOT that is unlocked but when trying to flash from MiFlash it gives an error as when I try directly from. bat file so I decided to try for EDL and it threw the xml error (resdump: <? xmlversion = "1.0" .........), I did some research and it turns out due to "prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf" and "prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf" in "images folder" to firmware uncompress files, and I replaced them with others that allowed the flash to continue and finish successfully, but to my surprise, when restarting the device, everything continued without any change...
Until this moment I do not find any information that can help with this unfortunately.
I just hope that some of the "Great GURUS" in the forum can help and provide some solution... If it exists.

Hi everyone, I’m sorry for having not replied yet.
As I wrote in my main post, I haven’t managed to recover my phone so far, so we decided to buy a brand new phone.
I hope you’ll be luckier than me.
Hi all, in order to flash your phone you will need authorized account normally, but if you try to flash stock firmware with Mi Flash tool and QFill you will face errors and errors.
What I recommend you is to re-flash full fastboot firmware the same version what you had on your phone or the latest stable fastboot firmware which you can get here:
Oreo Android 8 OEKMIXM
Pie Android 9 PEKMIXM
Latest version:
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM/tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global_ac26982758.tgz
All versions:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
Once you download firmware open it with 7-Zip archive tool, and again open firmware inside 7-Zip until you see normal folder with the name of firmware for example "tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global" and extract to desktop.
Once is Finish dowload this bypass auth files.
File with out Login
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
www.mediafire.com
Now copy those two files:
prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf
prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf
and replace those two files inside firmware that you extracted before on Desktop for example:
"C:\Users\YOUR_PC_USER_NAME\Desktop\tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global\images"
Next step is to use correct MiFlash tool which you can download here:
Working Mi Flash Tool:
MiFlash20160401.zip | by firmwarefile.com for Utilities
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
Now, load firmware inside Mi Flash tool:
for example:
"C:\Users\YOUR_PC_USER_NAME\Desktop\tulip_global_images_V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_20201229.0000.00_9.0_global"
Next is to remove battery cover carefully because you can damage fingerprint flat cable!or use special edl cable if you don't wanna to open your device.
- Disconect battery
- short those test point pins

-Plug the usb cable while you are holding those pins, once you got your device detected in Qdowloader 9008 mode relese short from test points.
Now click on Reflash on MiFlash tool and you will see your device is detected, now click on Flash and wait (it can take some time to finish). If you got error just unpplug the phone from PC and try again.
FOR FLASH OPTION:
You can check FLASH All or Flash all except storage
Once you successfully flashed your device, unplug device from your pc, plug battery back and power up your device to see if it's working or not.
The pay part if that doesn't work is reprograming or replacing emmc chip with ufi tool or something like that...
Good luck

I followed all the steps without any issues, since they were the same as I tried the last time, but a wanted to give a try to the files you linked me.
But... Unfortunately, I always get the same error. Probably, as you correctly pointed, that's an hw fault and there's nothing we can do.
I hope that someone will be luckier than me! I lost my hopes. RIP Redmi Note 6 Pro.
