So Hello guys, I've got a Mi5 from NIS-Store around a month ago.
It's working totally fine but... I've set up finger print and password protection but after testing it, I decide to remove it and then where all my problems with Mi5 come up.
When you get to the settings option and get to password, it simply shows a white blank screen and after few seconds, settings apk just crash.
I've find out that I'm running chinese seller rom or something like that. Found some tutorials on Xiaomi website how to flash the proper rom but non of them are working for me or I'm just to stupid for it (Never done anything on other phones then Sony :laugh.
It's running 7.2.8.0.0 (MAACNDB) Miui 7. Its defo not the global version even though it is said... I've tried flashing proper rom with both update apk on the phone and the MiSuite (far as I remember the name) and I couldn't done it.
Do You have any ideas how to get a proper rom on it ? I'm running out of ideas...
Other then that problem, phone itself is just amazing.
Unlock your device first. Then download official fastboot rom for your device. Flash it using miflasher
Thanks, waiting from Xiaomi for approval in order to unlock it. Any idea where can I get the Xiaomi phone with a proper official software? Would love to get another one but with proper software.

Check their website for fastboot-ready firmware.
I got my Mi5 from ibuygou.com and asked them to include the original ROM. They sent me a factory sealed Mi5 with the China ROM, which was what I wanted. I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the global ROM in minutes.

Before I start, will it erase all the media on the storage? Like apps, photos etc ?

I believe to flash back to China Rom which version is less than 9.5.17 or should I say the ROM without rollback enabled is prohibited by Xiaomi unless you have the EDL Authorization access in your account. I'm not sure how to get this EDL authorization. People are saying that if you have this EDL authorization you may flash to any rom. If I'm wrong, please do correct me.
Sorry to say, but I see hundreds of reports the last days about bricked phones.
Mostly about the Xiaomi redmi note 5 pro and the Xiaomi Mi 8.
Xiaomi doesn't want to give authorization for edl. so sorry to say but you can trow your phone in the trash bin.
Nothing will solve your problem due Xiaomi policy, u can't repair your phone it useless.
Xiaomi official statement is buy our products in your region.
You should have flashed a Xiaomi.eu rom. They are completely translated, without any China stuff and aren't as aggressive when it comes to flashing things alongside the kernel and system ( for example, you get to keep TWRP even after the flash, unlike pure stock ).
A lot of people mentioned an EDL account but you have to wait for a decent amount of time to get approval from Xiaomi. Don't throw your phone away like the guy above said. xD

Has anyone tried to install the rom china developer with Chinese PC Suite 3.0? Being a newer version, you should let it install.

I tried and it did not work:crying:
So I installed a custom rom in my new k20 pro lately, and accidentally locked the device after installed the custom rom inside. Now, my device is refusing to open the new rom and stuck in redmi recovery mode. It said that "this MIUI version cant be installed on this device". I tried to unlock the phone again, but xiaomi said that it takes at least 30 days to unlock a new device. Im kinda sad and confused about this, please help.
How did you lock the bootloader with custom ROM installed?

Did you try to flash custom rom using miflash?
Hi! I have the same issue on my Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro (It was Chinese) but it came unlocked with xiaomi.eu rom.
After i installed a global rom, and google wallet nfc pay did not work, so i thought okay i will lock it then so maybe wallet would accept it, (with the eu rom it worked before) so i put the device in fastboot and used fastboot oem lock on cmd...
And from then it stucks on miui recovery 5.0 screen, and says, this miui version can't be installed on this device...
I might not enabled oem unlocking before i shut if off, but i added it to my mi account so i dont know if after a week i can maybe unlock it. But i think the other possible solution would be to sideload the original chinese stock rom, which is for M2102K1AC, Mi 11 pro, codename mars, but i couldn't find it anywhere... If someone can upload a link to it, that would be a huge help! Or any idea! thx!
geraldmany said:
HI! i got a mi 11 pro 1 year ago, and it was offically chinese, but it came unlocked with Xiaomi.eu firmware, but i could't update it via the updater app, so i searched and found the global star version and just flashed it, everything worked, only now google pay nfc didnt work, it said that its probably because of the unlocked bootloader, so i got to fastboot and in cmd i sent fastboot oem lock, and since then my phone is stuck in miui recovery 5.0 screen and says that i cannot run this firmware on the device, i tried to unlock it but failed, maybe after a week, but i think that i didnt turn on oem unlocking on the phone itself before this... So im just hoping that after a week unlocking could be done... Or my other idea is, that i could install the original chinese rom with sideload, because i managed to install another global version on it since, but the result is still the same, the only problem is that i cannot find literally anywhere a mars codenamed firmware...

Anyone who might have the same situation, i found a simple, but effective solution, not sure if it works on every xiaomi device, but i will write down the steps here:
You need to use XiaomiADB, here is the download link and the description for how to use it -> https://xiaomiui.net/how-to-use-xiaomiadb-8044/ (if the page is not available, then feel free to msg me!)
For xiaomi adb, you need to go to 3rd option on the miui recovery screen, NOT THE FASTBOOT
So basically i went through the steps to “xiaomiadb sideload_miui <filename>”
And I tried to install a rom, BUT IT DIDNT ACCEPT IT!
The message was:
ERROR: This rom cannot be installed, server code -> 2001, server message -> Can't install unofficial rom
after trying 4 times all the same and: Installation of this rom via stock recovery is not allowed by Xiaomi
Says Installation failed, and then i just decided to download another rom so i PLUGGED OUT THE PHONE right after this, and went to another room to connect to wired network, to download and try a different rom... when i came back, to all my surprise, the phone was turned on, so i went to the setting dev ops and enabled bootloader unlocking, linked it to my account enabled adb and everything that is needed to flash another rom later, so then i rebooted and again, miui recovery 5.0 screen, but now i enabled unlocking, so i put the phone in fastboot, and tried MI UNLOCKER TOOL again, now it says: Please unlock 168 hours later. And do not add your account in MIUI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.
So that means, after 7 days i wll be able to unlock it, until then, i can turn it on with the above method, in short try to sideload (copy and install) a rom to it, and then after it failed, plug it out and just wait like 10-20 maybe 30 seconds and bam your device is normally booted... I hope it helps to some of you, (i have been searching for the solution for almost a week, my other option was to pay someone who can MAYBE do it or send the phone back to china and pay the repairs, so im really happy with this method! If it helps to you, please reply so i and the others will know that it worked! Have a nice day!
Hi
I'm pretty new on rooting devices, i did some times by the past on samsung s3 or iphone 3gs , after getting our water from the well.
But now i'm stuck. I install TWRP with minimal ADB, it goes pretty well, and then i decided to flash and install Lineage 17.1 . I did it by the book, put the img file on the phone, reboot on TWRP, selected my file and voilà, it flashed it nice, but when i reboot it boot straight to TWRP . There's no ways i can get past it.
Tried to reflash, reinstall Lineage but it 's still stucked.
What can i do to fix that ? i saved my personal datas but nothing else
Thnxs
Ok don't bother
I bricked my phone .
I tried to reinstall sotck rom , i downloaded a Global version , flashed it with MiFlash and it said " this MIUI can't be installed on this device " afterwards on the stock recovery screen
Can't Unlock the bootloader , can't do anything just because of a godammn "clean and lock all" box ticked by default. F*** It . IT was supposed to be a global version of the phone, why couldn't i reinstall a global stock ROM FFS ?
I am not using MIUI. Installed HavocOs. When I was using MIUI 4gb ram was always 50% occupied. But that never was problem. Old apps were open in background. In such a phone 4gb ram is sufficient. So I would say ram management may not be good as it always occupied 50% ram even if no apps were running. But never felt that running apps were stopped. can easily keep 4-5 apps(lite apps).

If you have checked clean and lock then your phones' bootloader is probably locked. Would you mind telling current status of you phone in details? Like:
1. does the phone show "Redmi by Xiaomi" logo while boots;
2. Is there unlocked written while it boots;
3. does the phone boot properly to stock rom (or whatever rom is);
4. does it have stock recovery.
5. What version of rom you flashed?
thank you.
Hi and thxs for the reply
so in proper order
1) Yes
2)No no more Unlocked at bootscreen (because of that ******* ticked box
3) No, it can't get past recovery. I was stucked at TWRP when i install Lineage (never had the chance to taste it) , now it's stuck at stock recovery
4) All I get is the 3 choices screen ( Reboot / Wipe Data / Connect with PC MIUI (the software management))
5) After lineage , i tried to flash Global ROM but after cheecking with the IMEI , it appears that i have a chinese version . IF Only i had taken the time to double check that , i bought the phone from a legit site (Not Gearbest and stuff). I think it was based on android 9.0
I 've dl Chinese ROM , Recovery and Fastboot , Now the phone has the back open , tried the pin contact, , it's recognized as Qualcom Port 9008 , so Miflash detectsit but evertime i try to flash either i can't get the hello packet, or Miaccount says i have not the authorization

Hi
I can't unlock it because when i install the global stock rom it relocked the bootloader and now i can't access MIUI
First of all stay calm. Your phone is still not hard bricked. As you have said that your stock recovery is working. In stock recovery it shows that "This MIUI version cant be installed".
Firstly, try to unlock bootloader again with mi unlock with same account you have used. This time it would not take the waiting period.
before plugging the phone boot into fastboot then plug to pc.
Do the same as you have unlocked before.
I hope it works.

Nope I tried virtually everything from 9pm to 6am and 9am to 2pm. NO way to unlock through MiFLash or many exotic tools in cmd prompt .
I just send it to repair center this afternoon , my 2 cents it should'nt take long to unbrick as there are still recovery and fastboot as you mentionned and repair centers have way more firepower than we do average fellas ... At least I hope they have
I keep you tuned
As i promised, here are the news
Reparation center with notoriously skilled technicians has not managed to fix the stuff to this day. Bootloader locked, tried with my Mi account , they were trying the EDL mode as i was calling them for news.
The sad part is, I had already tried this so I wished them better luck. It's been a few days so should they have succeeded, they 'd have told me by now. In fact they are not experienced enough with those Xiaomi protection so they're investigating. For the futures unfortunate owner's

EDL mode to use an authorized account is needed ... so you could not make it work, nor its experienced technicians
And I bet that only Xiaomi has this authorization , Xiaomi who has no official repair center in EU nor never replies to anyone.....
3000 years later......
I promised to keep you tuned.
I finally unbricked it today, thanks to @miauthofficial , as the tech around home didn't have necessary tools (or skills .... i think tools ) . It cost me 35 bucks but they got it working, with a chinese rom though (because i have a chinese phone :/ ) , with teamviewer and a bunch of top specialist tools
I can tell out of experience that's there are NO ways to unbrick it on your own
So i don't have multilanguage (only english , chinese , thai , japanese and arab ), no Google apps ..... That's why it sounds weird that i had everything set up out of the box . It wasn't a Global ROM, maybe a custom chinese rom?
Now i will carefully dig out how to get it to global versions , typing text on chinese rom is a pain in the ass
Believe it or not, i just had it charged, barely had the time to remove the charge cable, the phone sets on fire then exploded almost into my hands . I have some difficulties catching my breathe bcause of the smoke.
Does Redmi 8 have Test Point ? if it have, i believe we can use it to "unbrick" the phone, like what i do to my Redmi 4X.

Assuming you are talking about EDL.
As far as I know you need authorized mi account to do something through EDL for newer devices.
Can someone use TWRP or Orange fox backup for me to have the EFS folder of Redmi 8? Thank you..
Soo, long story short, i hard bricked this phone and i definitely need good advice. Please bear with me:
I got a Poco M5s,
I wanted to install official PE on it.
I successfully unlocked bootloader (mtk client method)
I ****ed up because i flashed the recovery, but it was for the wrong MIUI version (i had A13 - SFFEUXM and PE needs A12 - RKLMIXM)
Then i compounded my mistake because i booted to fastboot over linux and flashed A12 - RKLMIXM (flashall.sh). The phone never booted after that.
Now the phone is fully unresponsive: Black screen and power/volume buttons seem to do nothing.
I tried to use SP Flash to reflash A13 - SFFEUXM, but it failed and wanted me to remove battery and retry.
I tried to disassemble the phone, specifically removing/reattaching the battery plug: no change in response & SP flash did not seem to download anything
I also tried to see if mtk client can detect the device, but worryingly, it thinks it is a Helio G90 (MT6785) instead of G95, and then fails with "DAXFlash - [LIB]: Error on sending emi: unpack requires a buffer of 12 bytes"
I'm totally disappointed at this point. Is this salvageable? What can i do?

I have tried to rollback to 12.5 too. Got a bootloop. So I searched online about it and found out that you need to use the latest Mi Flash tool ( I used 2020 version ). Then I tried with the 2022 version but this time I was getting a timeout error. The flash was stopping at 700 seconds. Since I have a really old and slow PC, it takes about 1200 seconds to flash. After that I have given up.
Which version of Mi Flash tool did you try? Try with the latest version if you have a relatively fast PC.

I've tried various miflash versions (2017,2018,2020,2022). It always times out.
On linux, i managed to complete a flash using "flash_all.sh", but that's how i bricked it.
Hello, don't know if it is the good place for this but I have done the latest update (I have a Poco M5s with the version 13.0.10.0) and I just found the recovery flash for it (same version, Global.). I managed to unlock the phone after a few weeks of the phone being unrecognized by the pc, no matter how hard I tried to get the updated adb and android drivers. The latest Windows update included the Android drivers (which enabled me to unlock the bootloader).
I am planning to flash it using Magisk, any advice or things I should know?
