Easiest Steps to Auto Unbrick Mi 6X Codename Wayne Working 100% Credit By Miui.blog

This tutorial shows exactly how to unbrick or to fix bricked Xiaomi Mi 6X easily even it has ARB4 (Anti-Rollback Protection, without bootloader unlocking, or without authorized Mi account. However, it is inevitable to proceed through EDL mode (Emergency Download Mode) that is achieve-able by Test-Point method.

Many has known how to put a Xiaomi phone into EDL mode. There are three methods actually.

First, you can enter EDL mode through fastboot by typing “fastboot oem edl“.

Second, using the EDL cable. It is a special USB data cable to help you boot into EDL.

Lastly, you can boot into download mode by doing a Test-point method. It is a method that requires you to open the body of your phone carefully.

The first method is of course the easiest. Many employed this method few years ago. Unfortunately, Xiaomi disabled Fastboot EDL features so this method is now useless.

There was also a short period of time where users can purchase and use a special USB EDL cable. Again, this is now impossible to use it with recent devices.

Hence, the only option available is the Test Point method. It is not easy nor difficult. As long as you do it right, nothing bad will happen to your phone.

The pursuant of providing a safer and more secure experience is taken seriously by Xiaomi. Hence, the company has now implemented another layer of security. This security mechanism prevent anyone to flash MIUI ROM on Xiaomi devices without proper permission.

With this, might be you have succeeded in booting your device into EDL mode, but you cannot flash or reinstall the MIUI ROM unless you have authorized account.

There was a time that Xiaomi gave away authorized account to its users. Unluckily, they have closed giving away such account recently. Authorized Mi Account is now available for the official service center personnel only.

Xiaomi Mi 6X is one of devices with Anti-Rollback Protection, similar to Redmi Note 5. Therefore, once you updated the MIUI ROM running on your phone, there is no way back to downgrade it to previous version. Failed to pass ARB protection? Your phone will go bricked.

Flashing normal MIUI Fastboot ROM will not help. Some users even say it as “near hard-bricked situation“.

What’s the solution? There are two actually. First, bring your phone to the nearest Xiaomi service center. Second, try fixing it yourself by following this guide.

This article guides you to unbrick your Xiaomi Mi 6X without Authorized Mi Account. This is the solution to bypass Mi Flash “You are not authorized to download” error.

We divide this article into three stages: Prerequisites, Test Point Method, and Flashing Method.
