unlocked BL and then rooted...

the phone is not with me as I passed to someone else.

Can outside phone repairer is able to format it using normal way to resolve?

can enter fastboot?

Will give it a try

When you root, your suppose not to update using the updater from MIUI. When you update, the phone will brick.

Only way is to use EDL method to reflash MIUI firmware onto the phone.

Not sure. The phone is not with me.

Not me. My stupid friend.

I hope the normal repairer doesnt know how to use EDL method to reflash so i can get back the phone and do myself.

Thinking of getting this phone.
Check out Lazada , but there's many types and widely different prices.

How to check its the proper set ?

thanks

actually if unlocked unofficially and update the phone will brick... rooting doesn't

What's the difference if update Xiaomi device when unlock and locked? Both suppose to be able to update via the updater MIUI app right?

Not sure about Xiaomi, because for my Mi Max I flash weekly EU ROM using TWRP. But for my previous OnePlus phone, it will brick if OTA update when rooted.

wut u m8.. mi max is xiaomi
as in

unlock unofficially
- need to replace mbn file each ota/full update
- forgot to replace will brick the phone.

unlock officially
- just use alka twrp to flash miui update or ota

and of coz anyone unlocked bl officially i'd recommend to flash miui eu rom

Let it me. I have warned her not to update but she forgot.

So my question is/: If normal repairer outside handphone shop knows how to use EDL method to reflash?

*if* your phone can boot into fastboot mode(power + vol down) then got a chance to unbrick by using edl mode (check faq on first page)

Haha, obviously Mi Max is Xiaomi .What I meant was I'm not sure how does Xiaomi handles OTA when using the updater app.

I can see now why the problem arise in jack2 case. By the way, unlock unofficially means by what kind of way?

For my Mi Max previously while waiting for unlock permission, I install TWRP on my locked bl using a method from xda. Is this called unofficial unlock or there is other ways to do so?

probably in his case .he unlocked unofficially and flashed ota without mod the mbn file.

my recommendation just unlock officially

Agreed +1

If cant boot into fastboot mode, how?

If can, EDU mode will erase off all the data?


Yes, unlocked unofficially because the stupid xiami sent me the SMS said appproved but i did it for 1 week still can't.

Give us the link to advice you accordingly. ...

there is another way involves test point..but need to teardown your phone first.

Flashing via EDL would clean off all data?

Wonder if it is possible to backward to replace the mdb file first?
