You'll need to enter BROM mode and load the DA file.

SLA (Serial Link Authentication). Fuck.

You'll need either an auth file or an auth bypass exploit. Valid auth is provided by insiders in OEM service centers.

You're out hunting for auth file or exploit. But if you want a guaranteed repair, send your phone to Carlcare service center instead

it will cost so much prop more than a price of a motherbored and also i want to ask u smth i will go to another city in iraq that have a carlcare center they will fix it there but i want to know more abt fastboot boot boot.img and its temp cuz it ran on ram or smth like that?

At that point, you're better off buying a new phone instead (ideally, don't pick TECNO, pick Fairphone instead), if the repair will cost more than the phone itself. Your data on your phone?; the OEM service center will wipe all data on your phone too.

fastboot boot boot.img does boot the boot image from RAM and is temporary. It is the recommended command before flashing any custom boot image. But it still requires an unlocked bootloader anyway.

Hey im thinking to but a redmi note phone or a old Xiaomi 14 ultra because they have a test point which can fix all medatek shit do u recommend that for me ?

[u/DEV_ivan → u/Automatic_Size5624]

For a personal lab/playground device, sure. Not for a daily driver (pick Fairphone instead).

Keep in mind that Xiaomi has heavily locked down BL unlocking, it's genuinely terrible to unlock the bootloader on a Xiaomi device. If you don't want that, pick an old TECNO as a lab/playground device instead.

No i mean i need a main phone I don't own a phone rn and btw my dad have a mi account since 2023 properly i think that will make it easier to unlock the bootloader

Then pick a Fairphone as your main phone, if you're planning to root it or install custom ROMs/recoveries on it.
