    Fastboot upgrade failed, phone bricked??

    Well that's just ******* great. No idea how it got interrupted, it's never happened before. Maybe a NAND failure like @xldon2lx suggests.

    HyperOS 2.0 HyperOS 2.0 STABLE RELEASE

    Updating from HyperOS 1 to 2.0.107.0 hard-bricked my peridot. Please be careful guys. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/fastboot-upgrade-failed-phone-bricked.75591/

    Fastboot upgrade failed, phone bricked??

    I was using Xiaomi.EU HyperOS 1 ROM on my Redmi Turbo 3 (peridot) for a while. I decided to upgrade to HyperOS 2, but the fastboot upgrade script got stuck. I waited 30 minutes then cancelled it. Phone was still in fastboot mode but `fastboot devices` showed no devices connected. After turning...

    Redmi Note 12 Turbo vs Redmi Turbo 3

    Not surprising, Xiaomi have officially stated it won't work. But it's possible to do yourself for free with the resources mentioned in this thread. $20 is quite reasonable though.

    Redmi Note 12 Turbo vs Redmi Turbo 3

    They might make it difficult to unlock Chinese phones now, but nowhere do they say unlocking it will void your warranty. Xiaomi has famously allowed unlocking the bootloader without voiding the warranty. They don't have a hardware counter like some other phones, so if you flash the stock rom and...

    Thanks for sharing. How did you find this?

    Redmi Note 12 Turbo vs Redmi Turbo 3

    Maybe I'm mistaken, I recall reading something like this in a Xiaomi announcement when I was searching. All I know is the one from the official site gives an error, and when you try to update it from the app it sends you to a dead link. Once I updated to version 7 it worked without any issues.

    Redmi Note 12 Turbo vs Redmi Turbo 3

    I have the phone and unlocked it, so I actually know what I'm talking about. Not posting random links when you're new to a forum is like internet 101. I've shared enough information for anyone who wants to do it. In case you haven't kept up, Xiaomi is deprecating their Mi Unlock tool in favour...

    Redmi Note 12 Turbo vs Redmi Turbo 3

    That's not the latest version. You need version 7. It doesn't work with version 6 from the official website. Kinda weird to be sharing incorrect information like it's fact.

    Redmi Note 12 Turbo vs Redmi Turbo 3

    I'm not sure of the rules on this forum. And it could be unintended in which case sharing might end up getting it patched out. There's a PHP script and a settings APK, that should be enough for anyone to find it. The hardest part was getting the latest version of Mi Unlock because you can't get...

    Redmi Note 12 Turbo vs Redmi Turbo 3

    That's true but for whatever reason the Turbo 3 is an exception. There are some guides and videos about it if you search around (mostly in Vietnamese).

    Redmi Note 12 Turbo vs Redmi Turbo 3

    I got the Turbo 3 from China. Bootloader can be unlocked for free with the right tools, at least for now. I didn't try official unlock method with community app, but maybe that works too. This phone is on another level for the price, feels like a flagship. Much better value than Note 12 Turbo...
