Miflash success on xiaomi mi5, but still no boot

Hi,
I bought a Xiaomi mi5 from gearbest, it arrived with a vendor version of miui 7.3.x.x. Since didn't want to install any custom rom, I didn't unlock the bootloader. I tried to install the global miui 8, directly from updater app, as I have done with other xiaomi phones, but didn't work.
Then I tried to flash from recovery with no luck, and then I tried to install with miflash and EDL mode. After some tries, I ended with a bricked phone...
At the moment, the phone doesn't boot normal and doesn't boot into recovery mode either, doesn't turn on at all. The led only blinks red when battery is too low, after charging it a bit, it stops.
But is recognized as Qualcomm qdloader 9008 by the pc, I try flash again through miflash with different official fastboot rooms versions and different miflash versions, it flash with sucess but the phone is still dead.
I already read really a lot of sites and forums and tried the recommend solution, but the phone is still dead. Only solution that I didn't test yet is with qpst, a tool for Qualcomm SOCs unbrick.
Any ideas?

Hi i have The same problem, have you solution?

EDL stuck after flashing October Patch with MiFlash

Hello everyone, I wanted to open a topic here because I'm about 6 hours that I'm trying, but without any success ...
practically, after flashing via MiFlash (the latest version available) the update of 8.1.0 with the patches of October, the smartphone has started correctly, and then, suddenly turn off and go into EDL mode.
I tried all the possible combinations with the keys, but the result is that it simply always goes to EDL (the computer, also in Device Manager, detects Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) ...
When i try to flash any rom stock, MiFlash detects the smartphone, but by flashing it gives me "hello packet not received" or, after flashing the firehose and abl me files from "You can not authorized to Download !!!" or, start the flash and then disconnect the smartphone by giving "can not read from port COM *number*".
I also tried to replace the files inside "images" by taking the files from Patched Programmer, but the result is always the same.
I really do not know how to continue ...
By chance, does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help from you.

1)your bootloader is unlocked or not when you flash stock rom with MiFlash?(fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock critical and this will wipe all your data if you don't already use this command)
2)Hello packet not received is currently with USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 port, try USB 2.0 port and reboot your PC and the phone
3)If this not work try to use your warranty

Phone got bricked randomly - QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 (NEED HELP)

I was using my mi a2 and it randomly freezed, then i restarted using power button, but he didn't turned on, now it is just black screen and i can't get into bootloader mode or turn the phone on.
Bootloader was locked, never tried to unlock.
I think it got stuck on EDL mode because it shows up 'qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008' on device manager on windows.
Already tried to use mi flash tool to flash the last ROM, it recognize the phone but fails every time.
Neither adb or fastboot recognizes the phone.
Some errors that i had using the tool:
Failed to open the SDCC Device slot 0 partition 0 (it shows up only on version 2019.11.15.0)
Cannot receive hello packet (when i get this error, i hold the power button for a few seconds then i try again only to get the error below)
Error when flashing storsec.mbn

A year ago i had the same issue kinda. The only thing that worked for me was flashing mi 6x stock rom and after some trial an error it flashed and it fixed. The only problem is i have a mi 6x forever. Basically download mi 6x stock rom. Try that mi flash tool and keep hard rebooting and click flash button right after it vibrates. If lucky sometime will work and flash. If nothing try older versions of mi flash tool. Good luck.

all of you have the same problem ... you bootloop into edl mode because you have ARB4 triggered ..that means the only stock you can flash in miflash is ARB4 rom ( latest most up to date )
you also need patched programmer file since flashing ARB4 requires miui account
the fix to this problem is documented everywhere and explained lots of times ...just read ..follow this guide and one-click tool to unbrick
next time read ......a little ..

HELP!!!!!! Any unbrick tool for cn rom?

Hey guys,
I need some assistance as I am not able to unbrick my RM3 with unbrick tool. Multiple times I have already got it worked, flashed many times, but this time I am not getting my phone started. Normally, I use the NON-EU unbrick tool, all goes well but this time, it says THIS DEVICE CAN'T BE TRUSTED, WON'T BOOT UP. After multiple tries, I tried that EU unbrick too as well, but the same result.
I think I have locked the bootloader while on CN Rom 5.14, most probably this is the only reason, I was doing some tweakings and got it bricked. Anyone here who can tell me if there is such thing named CN Unbrick tool or any other way around to get it worked. I can enter FASTBOOT and EDL Mode but recovery mode showing black screen and adb is not recognising as didn't enable USB debugging. please help...

Question flash redmi 9t from edl

Hello. Sorry for my poor english.
I have xiaomi redmi 9t lime hardbriked.
No recovery, no fastboot, no boot...
The bootloader is unlocked.
The only hope left is flash stock rom în edl.
I put my phone in edl mode with test point.
Drivers ar corectly installed and Phone is properly recognized in device manager.
The big problem is I can't flash with MI flash because I don't have Authorized Account and Qfil/Qpst wont work.
The stock firmware is redmi 9t lime global fastboot version.I try everything with qfil with no succes.
I need a patched firehose file or a working solution to flash stock firmware în edl.
Thanks a lot.

Any fix please

If you want to have a functional phone, and you have limited skills, don't mess with your rom ffs...or use Miracle Xiaomi Tool Login Edition...pay someone to help you.

just install Miflash and Lastest fastboot Firmware then unpack it and copy this file (firehose) inside the image file ( Replace the old one) and start flash

Thanks a lot! I have the nearly the same problem like @autototal . My phone stopped working and is only recognized as QDLoader 9008. The strange thing in my case is that I had a working Pixelblaster ROM for month on it and it just died without a reason. I never opened the back to bring it to EDL mode.
Anyway... I also got the "only nop" error in the Mi Flash Tool. I tried flashing it with your firehose_ddr.zip and IT WORKED. But then I tried to turn on the phone and it is still in the same state as before (only QDLoader 9008 and no fastboot or anything). Do you have any idea what I could do to bring it back to live?
Thanks a lot

I had the exact same issue. A perfectly working phone for 3 months. Then I turn it off one day and it won't turn back on. I couldn't get MiTools to flash it no matter what I tried.
I found a set of videos that detail removing a capacitor from the main board.
This worked to get my phone booting again with no issues. It may be worth a try if all else fails and you need your data and/or aren't covered under warranty.
