Hi everyone,

I have manged to corrupt my MI3W's NVM partition. No iemi hence no network. Though, I have the .qcn backup but the QPST is failing to restore as the NVM is complete corrupted.

Now there's only one possible solution and that is emmc dump of MI3W.

I would appreciate if anyone who has a working MI3W could provide me the emmc dump of the same.

Following is the code to get the emmc dump of about 969 MB. You have to be rooted.

Open Terminal app and the type the following, it should take 10-20 mins

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/MI3-emmc.img bs=512 count=2000000

Once done, you'll see a MI3-emmc.img file on the internal storage. The emmc can be compressed by winzip or winrar and the size should be reduced to 100 MB. Which you upload on Google drive easily.

Just be careful with the code, copy and paste if possible.

Awaiting you guy's positive response.

Thanks

It doesn't matter if I'm on MIUI or not right? If so I can do it and get it uploaded in an hour.

Thanks again for the emmc image. I have been able to restore my iemi and got back network.

Fortunately, I had backed up my modemst1. modemst2, fsg and modem with dd command. Your emmc helped me restore my corrupted NVM partition and rest was done by the backed up partitions.

Mi3 has a locked NVM partition and I was trying to unlock the same. If you know how to unlock NVM then please share.

Thanks :good:

mmcblk0 is all of emmc? also sdcard data/files, why you not build via edl mode, the sahara will write new block your emmc? thanks

mmcblk0 is entire emmc but it depends on the size. In my case I've received 976 MB emmc provided by Klang, which does not contain sdcard/data etc as it's not the entire emmc size.

dd command copies the initial partitions which are there in those blocks. Refer to the attached pics of the emmc layout of Mi3.

I had tried Sahara & Miflash in download mode however, it didn't write the corrupted NVM blocks at all. Hence needed the emmc image of the size from a working Mi3.
