[GUIDE][TOOL] Reboot to EDL mode from FASTBOOT! No More "Test Point Method"! [kenzo]

Reboot to EDL mode from FASTBOOT!
No more Test Point Method needed ;)​


Technical Details:
Redmi Note 3 support rebooting to EDL in Android Bootloader aboot module (the "reboot-edl" command) but fastboot utility doesn't recognize "reboot-edl" in the command line and refuses to sent the command to the device. Since FastBoot command protocol is simple and text-based, it is enough to send a packet containing "reboot-edl" text over USB. The simplest way to do that is to patch Windows fastboot.exe file, replacing "reboot-bootloader" text with "reboot-edl". As "reboot-bootloader" string is found in the command line, fastboot.exe sends the same constant string to the device. So if "reboot-bootloader" is replaced with "reboot-edl", you can specify "reboot-edl" in the command line and the same text will be sent to the device.


New Update: Fastboot updated to latest version.

Tutorial:

1. Download the Fastboot_edl-v2.zip from Here.

2. Extract the zip in your desktop

3. Open the folder and double Click on Reboot.bat

4. Reboot your device to Fastboot Mode by pressing

Vol Down + Power button and connect your device with PC and Press Enter.

6. Now flash your Fastboot Rom with Mi Flash Tool to Unbrick your Mi Note 3. :)​

Is that possible to reverse the effect of this modified fastboot?

This modified fastboot description says:

patch Windows fastboot.exe file, replacing "reboot-bootloader" text with "reboot-edl"

Currently my device is stuck in bootloop in reboot-edl.

So, can someone tell me if we can replace 'reboot-edl' to 'reboot-bootloader' as this can save my device.

Didn't worked in Oneplus 9 Indian Phone.
You need to press vol up+down+power at same time for 3-4 sec and then plug in the cable.

Somehow it was disconnecting frequently from MSM tool but when click on start before rebooting to EDL mode helped to retain access of EDL mode.

If your phone is bootlooping then probably its soft bricked and you need to flash stock ROM in fastboot/EDL mode.

Try pressing power buttong for 30-40 sec and see if restarts properly.
Also try flashing original boot image : fastboot.exe flash boot bootimage.img and see if it helps.

I tried this reboot-edl method on Motorola Edge 30 but it always reboots to device. From ADB and Termux i can succesfully boots to EDL via "reboot edl" command. Then i tried replacing "reboot-edl" with "reboot edl" in fastboot.exe but still same it reboots to device.

Can someone help me to get the right string that we need to use/replace in fastboot.exe file ?
If needed i can share required file.
