MN3 corrupted - Big Help

[Mord0rr]

Dear friends

I had my MN3 unlocked, rooted and with TWRP.
Yesterday i did install a Viper4sound module and after some hours, it did start loop.
I went TWRP, made factory clean, then system, data and other 2 i dont remember, (no efs or persist!!)
Try flash again international rom, but give errors.

So i use Mi Flash tool and again international rom....with success....but it takes forever to start, i stop it, reboot, and then when enter logo, another loop...

Try agai Mi Flash with success, but this time to lock.
Now, it boots, give a error of Gcam process stop, encryption error, and a option on midle screen to reset.
And if i try use Mi Flash, it gives error of cannot flash because its locked....

Now i have a stone....and i don't have phone, and tomorrow i have a plane to catch. Also Mi Tool cant recognise the phone, strangly.

I have at this moment:
Official recover:
Bootloader

Any help would be highly appreciate....

Download mi unlock tool, unlock your phone first
Then you can flash through mi flash tool.
But for your phone to unlock through mi unlock tool,you must have a mi account & permission to unlock the bootloader.
& If you want gcam to work ,when you flash fastboot rom(not recovery room) through the mi flash tool,choose the option Flash all(don't choose the option,flash all & lock).
Then after booting your phone,enter fastboot mode, download the official TWRP for mi note 3, & fastboot flash TWRP.img through adb command prompt.
Then in the twrp, flash magisk,flash -
1.magisk camera 2 API module
2.EIS for Nexus 5X module
3.Front camera Portrait fix module
& Safety net fix module
After that you can reboot your system & download GCam & your Gcam won't force close.

But to unlock i need a rom and put option : - unlock OEM...

I dont have rom, its locked and full of errors...
Maybe force install on bootloader with ADB?

Thank you!

When you repair, I recommend you Viper4Arise. For me its work at MIUI 10

 

[Mord0rr]

You dont understand.....
At this moment i CANNOT enter the telephone. It appears a error and a central square saying "Reset"
I press it and it reboots.......

 

[Mord0rr]

I gave a brick.....
I dont have it unlocked, no TWRP, and Mi Flash says it cant do nothing because the device is locked.....so i get error

What a F***** way to start vacations.......

 

[Mord0rr]

63% and gives error....

I think you should place only the name of the recovery rom - not the location itself example xiaomiadb sideload_miui miui_MiNote3.... and place the rom in the same folder with xaiomiadb. Also try both the latest global and china recovery rom.
Good luck, zaqm

 

[Mord0rr]

The lastest global i think it refuses because its the latest....wich is kind of stupid.....

Soon i get time i will try, thanks!

Open phone cover, press button to start service mode flash fastboot rom

Now to flash your phone in edl mode your account should be authorized by Xiaomi. A lot of Redmi note 5 pro and Mi 8 users bricked their devices and have to request their accounts to be authorized even to flash their phones in edl mode. But it is an option.

Good to know, when xiaomi make policy to flash edl with their permission? Friend

I'm not sure that it applies for Mi note 3 but for Redmi note 5 and Mi 8 it is required - because of anti-rollback for Note 5 pro and in Mi 8 (china variant) if you lock the bootloader with global stable rom installed it will lead to bricked device . The worst thing is that Xiaomi don't warn people what "features" have implemented and now there are thousands of users with bricked devices who wait Xiaomi to give them permission to repair their phones.

Silly xiaomi

Sorry guys im at vacations on Poland.....didn't have much time to came here...

Last night i made some improvements: Unlock bootloader and did install TWRP, successfully...
The problem is that whatever i do, i get errors at 62%....something to do with System, error 255....it basically doesnt allow me to install successfully...
ADB, Mi Tool....all get some kind of error, even twrp.....

Basically at this moment i have a bricked phone...
Also, sucefully i did install rom Xenon HD without Gapps....but when press system....loop....and yellow colors....very strange....

Defenily i need a ninja person that understand this **** more deep.....

Hi, good that you were able to unlock the bootloader. Flash the official Twrp for jason and format data - in Wipe section - lower right corner. Confirm the erasure by typing yes and try to flash a custom rom - e.g. xiaomi.eu

 

[Mord0rr]

Thanks.
I think i already try that....but i get a weird error....code 255 if not mistake.....

Gonna repeat....what a hell....

 

[Mord0rr]

Tried that.....gives error: failed to mount /system invalid argument....few seconds later twrp reboots during install process...
Im enought with this s h i t phone!!!
