Question Unbrick tool for the 6/6 Pro yet?

[M5tha]

So here's the story, TL;DR at bottom.
So I have been checking out gaming phones for a little bit and saw the RedMagic 6 Pro and was captivated by its glowing RGB, 16GB of RAM, high refresh screen, a delicate and strange but mighty internal fan and A BATTERY THAT WOULD LAST ME ALL DAY.

So naturally I ordered the phone as soon as it launched in NA and waited about a week and before I got it. Once I did, it was like Willy Wonka and I was Charlie with a golden ticket.
At first I didn't notice anything wrong, maybe these glitches were there all along and I just never noticed it. After some steady usage, I started noticing little things here and there that were annoying, like the app switcher not opening sometimes, not closing apps, notifications not showing, misspelled words in the Settings app. You know, annoying stuff like that.

Obviously I tried to do factory resets a couple times to see if it would help but nothing fixed it so my conclusion was that something was wrong with the software itself.
My next idea was to download and try to I guess manually update the phone in hopes that that would also reload part of the system...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Went to the global rom page on redmagic.gg>downloaded the rom to my computer that matched my phone model>factory reset the phone>copied update over>manual install through settings>phone says installing... whatever>then reboots to the RedMagic boot logo and never goes from there.

So now I'm sitting here, clearly devastated by the loss of my little pocket heater, my side table light show, my phone I use to cheat on Apple and iPhone with (shh don't tell Siri).

Things I've already tried>
1) More factory resets through the recovery
2) Letting the battery die and then charging it.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3) extracting .img from payload update file and flashing through fastboot (always fails due to locked bootloader)
4) Reaching out to Nubia support, I don't think they like me because they haven't answered back yet.

TL;DR -- Is there a way to unbrick/reflash the 6 or 6 Pro with a locked bootloader yet?​

I mean why even share with the rest of us the screenshot + ur experience with their support if ur not willing to stand behind it ? Might as well just keep being a ***** then and wait till your case is solved before coming through with how it all went if you're that worried...

I understand that you're worried about the 500$ you spent on the device , but you're going out of your way to beat urself into submission in hopes that they'll be merciful enough to grant you a refund/replacement... You're arguing that asking for the same treatment that you received for a relatively similar problem is bullying them and throwing you under the bus... Isn't that a nice way of looking at the things.

You do you man , I won't judge but I hope this serves as some reference to you in the future. If you're not willing to be implicated with any of this in any sorts of way then maybe you shouldn't be posting any of this in the first place ?

My personal stand is that this is all bullshit , you're spending money on a company that has history of both hardware/software issues on all of their devices in the past with countless of cases of refusing refund/replacements. And you're just perpetuating it... Why are you arguing with other forum members ? You are about to get your phone replacement and that's all you should worry about , you don't work for their company and it's not your job to regulate others. This is ridiculous , no other brand does this and no customer should ever be scared like this for a fkin warranty replacement.

Not even gonna waste my time reading that absolute wall of text.

@CyberWolf92 your better off not. I imagine a recovery/unbrick tool will come soon enough, and I agree that it is stressful watching a $500-$600 paperweight sit on your desk because the company is non-responsive. I will add as far as my communication to Nubia, I did tell them about being on XDA and that I knew about several other people having the same problem I am having. But never named any specifics. They are already on these forums, so I'm sure they are aware on some level. But I don't see the point in one user back biting on another. It doesn't help us solve any problems. Because at the end of the day, as with everything YMMV and the customer service agent you work with may not care at all what you tell them.
