Hi guys.. my whyred stucked at Mi Logo with Unlocked Text Signed below.
Sorry, i need to create a new thread because i can't find any solutions from related thread that can help me.

The Problem start when i was using my phone (with 10% free space storage i think) then it got hang (stop respond), then i push and hold the power button to restart my whyred and then my phone stuck at Mi Logo as i told above;
Condition now :
1. Type : Whyred; Global Stable Rom; ARB 4; No Recovery (such as TWRP etc)
2. It can still get into fastboot mode
3. Unlocked Bootloader
4. Unable to get into recovery mode.
5. Unable to get into EDL Mode
6. Status fastboot oem device-info :
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

I have done some trial, and it always ends with error, such as :
1. Get the phone into fastboot mode and flash the latest Rom (Global & China) using Mi Flash, the result is some kind "error : write protected"

2. Get the phone into fastboot mode and using adb fastboot do :
- flash any recovery (TWRP) using adb (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img), the result is "error : write protected"
- flash boot.img from Latest Firmware partition using adb (fastboot flash boot boot.img), the result is "error : write protected"

3. Get the phone into the EDL Mode using Test Point (with battery been connected), it has been detected as qloader 9008 and Mi Flash can detect it as a COM Port, but when i flashed it with the latest ROM (Global and China), it ends with error too.

4. Get the phone into recovery mode using "fastboot boot twrp.img" and the result is the twrp just appear as a start screen without any button, so i can't operate the twrp.

5. Get the phone into recovery mode using "fastboot boot recovery.img" (recovery.img from Stock Firmware) and the result is the the phone success got into recovery, i did wipe data, the indicator showed the progress but it stuck without success sign, so i restart the phone using power button and the problem still persist.

Please, any suggestion will help much, i just dont know what to do anymore, i don't plan to bring it to service center because it will make an expensive price.

i am so sorry i am unable post any picture because i dont have any other phone.

Please any help guys..

Did you use the dummy.img to bypass arb protection?
You can try orange fox recovery.
Download it, then flash dummy with command "fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img" , after that try to boot orange fox recovery with "fastboot boot recovery.img"

Result is the same, flash antirbpass dummy.img done but flash recovery (even orangefox) got error : remote : error flashing partition : write protected.

When try boot with flash boot orangefox, the result is only the logo orangefox screen appear.

I don't know why, but I have tried this 2 things :

"Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img"
It finished successfully

But when I tried
"Fastboot flash recovery xxx.img"
It failed because error write partition.

That's why I think that there must be a solution to pass the write protected error..

fastboot boot xxx.img
Copy recovery img in phone, then flash the recovery from recovery.
Try orangefox, pitchblack, twrp

fastboot boot xxx.img

Try orangefox, pitchblack, twrp
I have tried 2 trial "Fastboot boot xxx.img" and it gave me 2 results :
1. If xxx img is twrp, it can only show the begining screen (if twrp) without any button.
2. If xxx.img is stock recovery, it can only give wipe data that will stuck at 99.99%.

Both of it has not given access to copy from PC into phone.

Try clean flashing and locking bootloader in mi flash tool, then unlock bootloader and booting into recovery. I recommend getting latest version of MIUI in your device before booting into recovery. If you want, before this, try pitchblack recovery also. If it works, no need to install MIUI. :)

Yes, I tried all standard procedure...TWRP RECOVERY, FLASH ROM etc...
The finally msg it's same "write protected".
Any IDEA ?

I think it's a "commercial lock" applied by XIAOMI. .... for change a phone.
If you try to flash using MI flash tool, i.e, use clean all and flash option in mi flash tool. It will succeed. If it doesn't, you may have to use other method.
Here link contains all details.

6. Status fastboot oem device-info :

Please any help guys..
Me also faced this issue on my whyred last week. I read through the comments and find me faced exactly the same bricking. 'write protected' message on fastboot flasing, twrp and orangefox booting only to its logo, able to boot into stock recovery but wiping data stuck on 99.99 %. etc..
I also tried the recovery method by using miflas pro , Edl flash (not worked due to the authentication or device storage emmc corrupted) but no luck. Finally i give up on flashing and went to the service center. They tried to flash the software but no luck. They said the internal memory emmc got currupted , so need to replace it. Now i am waiting for the device for one week. I will let you know whether it will working or not.
I would like to know one thing..
Which Rom and Kernel are you using when the phone was bricked. My phone also bricked like the same way as you said in the OP.
