Write speed too slow when flasing my Redmi device

[LucifarSaten]

F lasing My Redmi Note 8 (ginkgo) with write speed maximum 3MB/s . That is too long for flashing. Any One know how to increase my write speed I'm using flashing cmd (edl qfail . My operation system is Kali Rolling 64bits.

I experience the same speed issue with Xiaomi A3. Smaller partitions are flashed quite quickly, ~10MB/s But large partition takes very long to flash, speed drops to 0.05MB/s

I decided to check what happens and waited 3 weeks for process to complete :)

That was the longest estimation: Progress: |█████████-----------------------------------------| 17.4% Write (Sector 0x6F0A4 of 0x280000, 1007h:00m:03s left) 0.00 MB/s

But at some point after 3 weeks it began to speedup and eventually completed.

However, there was this failure:

After flashing the rest of the files the device does not boot and stays in edl mode.

I will seek into this issue.

Same issue here on oneplus 6. Dropping to .1 MB/s around 40% through flashing. Will let it do its thing, see what happens and report back when.

Using USB3.0 compatible cable I get more than 2x speed up. 4MB/s->10MB/s on average. Peaking at 16MB/s
