Heya guys,
Received my Redmi 4 Prime today but I think I already messed it up beyond repair. It had a dodgy reseller ROM on it, so obviously I had to revert back to the original ROM, unlock the bootloader and flash the Xiaomi.eu weekly.
Except in my excitement I used MiFlash and a fastboot ROM and flashed immediately to the China dev ROM. Normally I think MiFlash should give you an error anyway, but it happily flashed the ROM (I hadn't noticed my error yet) so upon rebooting my phone got stuck on the Mi logo...
The device does not get past the Mi logo at all. I can't get into the recovery, only fastboot, but I can't do anything there cause of the locked bootloader.
I didn't link my Mi account to the phone yet, as to not enter any account information on the dodgy reseller ROM, so I can't unlock the bootloader via fastboot now .
I can sorta get into a recovery mode (EDL?) but even then the phone is not recognized by ADB, MiFlash, or Mi PC Suite. All I can do is smack it back into fastboot and use MiFlash, but obviously none of these roms work as they all require an unlocked bootloader. I keep getting hit with "Flash TZ Error"s or other errors about forbidden partitions.
I also did not enable USB debugging yet as I planned to do that after flashing to the China/Global stable...
Is there a way to flash the recovery ROM through MiFlash? Is there ANYTHING I can try at this point?
Thanks in advance,
Rick
