Mi5 Bricked - Can access files though. - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I was running CM13 and tried to install the most recently nightly (1121) I believe. Mi5 shutdown to reboot and install but never turned back on. The screen stays blank no matter what button combination I use. When i boot up holding Vol+ and power, it is visible as a drive and I can browse the file system from my computer.
I have tried various unbrick methods with no success.
I have tried to flash the Chinese Dev rom and Global using XiaoMiFlash but i get an error (can not found file flash_all.bat)
I have tried recovering with PC Suite - but i get various errors saying it can't connect.
Doesn't recognize when i reboot in recovery mode (Vol+ and Power)
Says to connect in normal mode first when i reboot it fastboot mode (Vol- and Power)
(also tried Chinese version, but I cant read the errors.
Fastboot devices shows it connected. Is there another way to unbrick? I have read a bit about EDL method but see other people saying it permabricked phone so I am nervous to try. Any idea?

OK so typing fastboot oem edl changes it - now shows up as RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) in device manager - but when i try to flash with XiaomiFlash I get a new error: cannot found programmer file. ugh.
Edit - also getting: cannot read from port COM3 (after first saying "read hello packet")

Apprently all versions of MiFlash arent the same - used the guide (and the version of MiFlash linked in this post) and it is booting now:

This is the only unbrick method that worked for me

No Download mode (Locked bootloader + 10N)

Hello everyone! My Phone is stuck in a way that i can't even enter download mode. When I press volume up and insert USB cable it goes to download mode for a second and quickly boots into fastboot.
Bootloader status: LOCKED
Root status: ROOTED
Sometimes it also shows error "Secure booting error 1002", which may be due to installing TWRP on a locked bootloader. Now It won't even be detected in fastboot when installing KDZ through LG UP or LG FlashTool, neither I can hard-reset it.
:crying:
How can I fix download mode now?
Your problem like me. I find the solution is more to fix it and is more not success (MicroSD image boot, QFIL, JTAG and blah blah blah)
lastest. The solution is helping me is QFIL method is help me to enter Download mode
at least you must have Qualcomm qdloader 9008 on Windows device manager

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

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.

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 ..

I can't install twrp, make a hard reset, update by OTA, nothing O.o

SOLVED
Hi there.
I had my couple's mobile rooted with Magisk and MIUI Global 10.3. Once wanted to update twrp and the issues began. Actually the mobile isn't rooted but with unlocked bootloader, apparently.
I list the issues down below:
1) Trying to install twrp with fastboot by CMD, pressing enter after the command the cursor just blinks and nothing happens. At first it showed "waiting for device", so I installed adb drivers and the mobile appeared in Device Manager. It run once up to "sending 'recovery'" but not farther. The mobile was connected in fastboot mode indeed as well as in usb debugging but couldn't activate oem unlock as it stated it as unlocked and the option was dimmed.
2) Tried to unlock the mobile with Miflash_unlock and the phone was recognized, but the tool checked the device up to 50% and then showed that it Couldn't verify the device.
3) Then I tried to make a backup of the user data and doing a Hard Reset from settings. It went forward up to reboot, so I did, then it entered in fastboot mode for a few seconds and it powered off. Rebooted the phone and it was up and running as if nothing happened. So I cannot make a hard reset.
4) I can't enter the recovery too. If pressing volume - and power on it enters in fastboot mode. With volume + and power on it does the same With recovery enter tools isn't possible either. It seems as it's been corrupted.
5) I've just tried to flash the Global_8.0 rom with MiFlash 2019.12.6.0 and on the progress line it says "echo Mismatching image and device" How? I'm sure its a Mi Mix 2 'chiron' Rom, so... Anyway, I start to flash and the tool seems to progress but it never ends. So I disconnect the phone, reboot, and it keeps untouched running as before, OMG
6) On top of that I can't update android by OTA, as it gets downloaded, then reboot, then enters fastboot mode and after few seconds it powers off as before, and powering it on afterwards shows that it couldn't be updated
So I don't know what to do next. However, the mobile runs apparently ok.
May someone lend me a hand, please?
Thank you.
SOLVED: The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 is up and running with the last firmware installed. The issue was that, as I build a new PC lately, I connected the phone in fastboot mode to the front USB ports, which are 3.0 version, and you need a 2.0 USB port at most, causing errors in MiUnlock and MiFlash.

You have to experiment with some button combinations. I ran into the same problem with a different phone two years ago. Read everything about this even if fastboot isn't working right now.

first let's go, download the fastboot stock version of the ROM then download Miflash, unzip the rom on your main disk twice, now on your cell phone you will press the power off button and at the same time the fastboot button (you must have messed up the file boot so it doesn't turn on) and play Miflash also on C disk, open Miflash on mobile in fastboot mode and select ROM folder don't forget to put the option to just clean and not lock, when the process is finished you wait for the phone to turn on

Thx but phone dont booting to fastboot mode so i cant flash boot.img i tryed now SP Flash too in linux and still same errors becouse phone disconecting too fast. I think technician service will be solution..
Dont use The daanm Sp flash Tool , Its for mediatek devices, USE Miflash, and Its impossible a phone dont boot in fastboot mode, try again, pls hold The button
I have both Mi flash and SP flash tool
Without fastboot you cant do much...
in Miflash it dont do anything even device it dont see on COM3
in SP flash too it react but with errors becouse of disconecting
phone dont boot right becouse both A and B boot images are corrupted.
Does your screen at boot turn red? I've done everything on my cell phone, several things have happened to me and not once did fastboot have a problem, because fastboot is a totally different place to boot, there is only this possibility if you used commands in adb to remove or do something in fastboot that made it useless, it's impossible to happen this in the way you said
yes i did adb commands in fastboot becouse i instaled recovery and this all happend after reboot
no problem doing things in adb, I said in the sense that you deleted fastboot in adb but that didn't happen by the way you said
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold the Power + Volume Down buttons together and immediately connect the device to the PC. You need to time it perfectly.
It will automatically boot into EDL mode, and LED lights may blink.
Download QPST Flash Tool and install your device's firmware using QFIL(comes included in QPST).
I suggest you to read everything about it online.

I tryed but not succes. It just booting every 5s nowhere. Cant get to EDL mode sorry. And correct turn off phone isnt possible i have to unplug battery flex cable but i also tryed. Only possible state where it dont restarting is when battery is unpluged and i connect phone on cable with pc and pressing volume down+power. But connection to COM3 is only 2s.
Well, in that case you need to short the test points on your motherboard and plug the phone into your PC at the same time.
Watch several videos related to it on YouTube first.
Wait, is your phone Redmi Note 11 or 11s?
I will try the point test. I have Redmin Note 11s.
Ahhhh...you posted it on Note 11 forum.
Can't help you mate. Things are more complicated in mediatek devices.
Still, this thread might help a little. Good luck.

Now i have bit progress with python im able to hold COM3 port connection around 60s. But when i start SP Flash Tool it will always make error. STATUS_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (0xC0060001) and STATUS_ERR (0xC0010001) , STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL
I finally managed to connect device for longer time cca 1 min with MTKMETAUtilityV49 and it helped me also disable auhorized connection for SP Flash tool V5. By this i formated whole disc except bootloader. Now phone dont self restarting so it is prepared for instal fresh rom. I think this will be again problem becouse i geting this error after few seconds of flashing: STATUS_SEC_IMG_TOO_LARGE
