Move from fake rom to official rom?

Hi everyone. Im really new to Xiaomi devices. So here is my problem. I bought MI 5 with fake rom, it is common in my country. The rom version is 7.2.8.0.0(MAACNDB).
How to move from that fake rom to official? Does EDL mode still works for that rom version? Because I read somewhere that EDL is no longer work since 7.3.x.x and later.
I tried to flash MIUI 8 global from updater and it failed, after booted the rom remain the same. I also tried using MI PC Suite, when I hold shift and flash button (in chinese of course ) but it shows dialog reboot or fastboot.
Any help would be appreciate,, thanks

I just tried using EDL method and it worked in my case. Thanks everyone, even there's no comment yet . Now im ready to rock!

Mi5 bricked ... no LED / no Recovery / no Fastboot / no signs of Life !!!

Hi friends, since today my phone is bricked.
I cant get into recovery/fastboot mode. No LED even when i connect it to charging.
My phone gets detected on MiFlash and i have successfully flashed the developer ROM but even then my Phone refuses to boot. What could be the problem ? i tried almost all the Guides on Internet. i dont know what happened. I had ResurrectionRemix 7.1.1. till yesterday working without any problem. Today all of a sudden i am facing this issue. i wanted to flash Brand Kernel but i just downloaded and didnt flash it. after that this horrible experience of HardBrick.
Anyone help me pls what can be done / i am on Windows 7 64bit and i tried on only one laptop. As i said earlier, i have no problem in flashing latest global developer ROM(Fastboot ROM) using MiFlash. but it doesnt reboot, no LED, no Recovery no Fastboot. i am quite irritated with this. such an issue i never had with any other Android phone(HTC Desire, Samsung galaxy SII, Xiaomi Mi2S), but now with Mi5...
Am i Unlucky ? have i turned my new Mi5 into a costly Paperweight ? i bought it on geekbuying during special Offer... just an info...
I am waiting for an helping hand... pls help me friends....

Try test point method, it's revived my hardbrick mi5.
Just google the tutorial. It's quite easy.
But it's void the warranty because of the broken seal

What is that ? I couldn't figure it and I couldn't find it on Google. Can u give a simple guide or a link to it pls ? Thanks in advance

Avoid stupid test point stuff. All you need to do is disconect the battery and reconnect it back again.

Cronic unsolved software problem

Hi all
in july 2017 i made a big mistake: i tried to install an xposed module on my mi5 with MIUI.This affected my phone with many bugs,so i uninstalled the module but i couldn't solve all of them...
Initially,i had seldom a touch screen bug,that forced me to switch-off my phone and then switch-on it again to solve the problem.Now,in addition to that,passing by Android 7 to 8,i have one more important bug:every time i switch on my phone,my proximity sensor go out of calibration,forcing me to go in diagnostics menu where i can manually calibrate it.This bug is so important that convinced me to swipe again everything and then flash my xiaomi.eu rom not 1,but 2 times.I also tried to change recovery,or swipe/repair system.
If i remember well i tried to install xposed from this page or similar one ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-miui-t3367634)
can you try to help me?
thank you very much
P.S. : i still have to try fastboot global rom flash to solve it but i don't want to do it

Fastboot flash is needed.

That's probably a firmware level problem. You can try to update/downgrade your firmware, but probably end up reflash your OS from fastboot.

Which rom have i ti flash via fastboot?global rom,global stable,others?and can i do it via mi flash?

Touchscreen Dont Work after Update to android 10

Hi everyone
I Update my MI 9 Global to android 10 ( MIUI 11.0.6 Stable QFAMIXM) but after setup finish and phone rebooted the touch screen dont work any more.
one month ago my phone touchscreen broke and replaced and worked great before update (android 9 on MIUI 10.2 I think )
but after update it does not react at all . i installed custom recover twrp and installed new rom from xiaomi.eu but nothing changed. :crying:
I connect optical mouse throw otg cable to phone and every thing works normal. sound , network , wifi , bluetooth , camera , .... all work great but touch screen doesnt respond .
I think the problem is kernel dont load driver for touchscreen properly or the new android dont load firmware for touchscreen.
it is dmesg output :
https://pastebin.com/i4Cfyden
if you look at dmesg log you can see some line with error like :
"Firmware in the chip different from the one that was burn! " and "fts_fw_update: firmware update failed again! ERROR 82080B02"
please help me to solve this problem . if I have to use custom kernel or change and compile the driver for new touchscreen ??

based on dmesg log (Read FW from BIN file st_fts_f1.ftb !) firmware must be in file "st_fts_f1.ftb" but I cant find this file in phone memory. I have root access to phone and searched all folder ( including vendor and persist partitions )

Just flash the previous Android version that worked. It sounds as if you bought an aftermarket screen with different hardware.

Hi . I flash v11.06 using miflash and again tuch screen doesnt work . I checked clean all option in flash page

I Installed android 10 GSI Rom from https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations and touch screen and finger print sensor start to work !!
but GSI have some problem and limitation for mi 9 for example battery is not so good and full screen gusttures dont work. how is possible touch screen works with this rom but not by official Android 10 ?? If i can use some part of GSI with Official or Xaiomi.eu roms to enable touch screen ?

Maybe pocket mode is interfering on stock ROM?
Try a old stock Chinese ROM?
Start from very old..

How Can I test that ? And yes all android 9 ( official or xiaomi.eu ) work but have some minor finger print problem . But The only Android 10 that has not problem with touch screen is GSI rom even GSI v220 ( based on android 10 ) works . I dont know how this is possible ? I based On this I am sure the problem is software not hardware . A question Sir : If touch screen driver in Kernel (boot.img) or in vendor ? I think If I can merge vendors or kernel from android 9 with system and other from android 10 the problem is solved. Thank you and Please any Of your help and info can solve the problem

I have the same problem, Mi9 running MIUI10 Global, want to upgrade to MIUI11 but after update the touchscreen doesn't work, only via otg USB mouse. Tried to flash MIUI12 ia TWRP, again touchscreen doesn't work.
Have you solved the problem?

Same problem
Guys, has anyone managed to solve this problem?
Mi 9 After changing the screen the touch locks after a few minutes of use
My Mi 9's screen broke and I had to change it, but after a few minutes of use the touch simply stops working.
It happens a lot when I lock the screen, and I try to unlock it after a while.
Guys, I've been looking for the solution for some time but I just don't think so. I even found some forums saying to downgrade to version V10 but I still have this problem.
The screen is original, imported from CHINA and is of high quality.
Has anyone had this problem and can share the solution?

unfortunately i dont find any solution yet. and i think no one is kind enough to help us . Now I am sure it is kernel problem. i installed GSI android 10 on android 9 vendor and touch screen works great ( but have some other problem with GIS like cant recieve or send sms messages) So the problem Is kernel used in android 10 . even i installed Quantic-Kernel on aosp and after that again touch screen stop working.Please if any senior member who is familiar with android kernel help us to compile or change touch screen driver used in version 9 and solve the problem . Please Please

You can install new Rom and see if the problem gone or no . I recommentd you install new stock android 10 with MIUI 12 or xiaomi.eu rom .
If after new install problem exist it may be some hardware problem . Even before install new rom you can reset factory your phone and see what happens ( backup up your data before reset factory)

Question [Redmi Note 10 Pro] TWRP logo bootloop

Hi there,
My Redmi Note 10 Pro had random problems receiving SMS that I didn't know how to fix.
(reset to factory settings... change sim card...)
I tried to install another ROM than the original one.
(this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-11-or-12-roms.4459219/#post-87044197 )
I also updated TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/orangefox-twrp-cant-mount-system-and-data.4465099/#post-87114951)
Since then, my phone restarts in a loop on the TWRP logo, without going any further and without being able to turn it off, until the battery is empty.
Which solution ?
Thanks !

There are 3 models:Chopin,Sweet,Sweetin
have you installed the correct Twrp and rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
Enter fastboot mode: press button power and volume -
and flash stock rom(dont relock the bootloader).

It's a "sweet" model.
I used the above links to install :
"TWRP-3.6.2_12.1-sweet-20220705.img"
and
"lineage-19.1-20220619-UNOFFICIAL-sweet"
I'll try Flashtool as soon as I have some free time.
For the moment, I took back my old Note 8 !
;-)
Thank you very much for the reply.

After installing TWRP, I think you didn't formated data with yes. But it's necessary and restart after this to TWRP again. Then you can flash lineage, but take the newest for sweet from 7.7.22.

I don't remember...
But, in the future, I will be careful !

Thanks, guys !
You saved me !
My phone came back to life.
I'll see later if the SMS works again.
