boot_para partition

[Raulsc9]

Hello friends, by mistake I flashed the wrong file in the "boot_para" partition and since then I can't power on the device at all.

I have tried flashing all the partitions that the device has, but it still won't turn on.

It is a Xiaomi Redmi note 8 pro, and in its rom, there is no such partition.

In short; I get Mtkclient to recognise the device and I can flash the images, but there is no way to turn it on in normal mode or in download mode.

Before this error, I managed to turn it on in fastboot mode, but when I rebooted, it stayed in hard brick again.

Greetings!

Try to find the firmware, if you are lucky, the boot_para just needs to be flashed again, if it's a device config partiiton, chances are low to unbrick your device.

Thank you for your quick response. What happens is that the firmware of this device has no partition called "boot_para" and I can't find any information about it. I don't know if it's a translation problem...

And so far I'm still the same. The phone does absolutely nothing. I only manage to boot in "fastboot" mode, when I run this line:

python mtk plstage --preloader=preloader_begonia.bin

(If I'm not wrong, with that line I get the preloader to flash)

When I boot into fastboot mode, I flash the whole rom from fastboot, but again, I can't get the phone to turn on at all.

the boot para partition has boot parameters. try to ask someone with the same device to dump it, then reflash, hopefully will work.

I finally got it repaired. I forced start with MTKClient, downloaded a system update and it fixed it. Thank you very much for your reply
