Mi5 dead! please some ideas!

Hi all,
I going to tell you the complete story and any ideas orsuggestions will be appreciated.
I bought my mi5 in July. It came with a fake ROM but Ichanged it to OFFICAL GLOBAL STABLE .
Since then, I used the device perfectly fine, and follow theMIUI forum regularly.
Then in November I applied for betatesting Team and theyaccepted me. As my bootloader was still locked, I tried option one from abovetutorial, so I directly downloaded in my phone the GLOBAL DEV ROM and Ichoosing the package I started using Nougat for about a month, more or less.
Then, the tragedy happened. I was in a bar, having my phonein my trousers back pocket, and I set down that way. One minute, no more. Thephone´s battery was around 70%. When I realized I quickly took it but it wasnot able to turn on… Nothing pressing power volume + or any combination… I came home and let it charging all night (wallcharger) and nothing the morning after.
I tried to connect it to my PC but nothing happened in the screen,but pressing Power Volume+ the Windowsdevice Manager recognized it as “Android phone”, so after reading some threads about bootloader issues I decidesto flash it. I requested permission and then flashed it with the latest CHINADEV version. The flashing was completed, but the phone still not turningon. NEXT STEP: Local Technical Service.
They had my phone during a week. They tried to change thescreen, nothing, the battery nothing, and I don’t know which other tests theyperformed but they called me back to tell they were not able of doing nothing.
Having the phone back at home, now I was not able to get thePC seeing it as Android phone again. Nothin. Desperate me, I continued to read in internet and found in XDA a video where basically, you open the phone (remove back, and some screws),short two pins, and the PC is able to see it through the Qualcomm USB driversin EDL mode. Then flashing IS POSSIBLE. That is true. I am able to flashing,and I have tried CHINAs, GLOBAL, older ROMs about a dozen. Always the flash processsucceed, but the phone still not turning on.
After flashing I let the phone the whole night plugged inthe PC usb. Nothing
Now is plugged again to the wall charger, but nothing.
There are many threads with different solutions, so guys,please, anyone with a good idea to try??
Many Many thanks in advanced

Read this and
Use only the versions mentioned

this device is just a chinese junk i regret bought it , just after 2 days i bought it got hard bricked .
anyway flash 7.2.4 and if phone didnt boot use 3 button ( up + down + power ) for 1 minute or more and it must boot , it did work for me .

I just got brick yesterday and followed those instructions. It really worked. I was finally able to flash china dev 6.11.10. Latest dev said just "missed hello packet".
MiFlash version 2016.04 and china dev 6.11.10 was right combination for me. I connected Mi5 to PC while pressing vol- and power buttons, then I released them. I opened miflash, selected rom and chose "flash all". Flashing was completed. I tried to power on my phone pressing power button but nothing. But when I pressed vol- and power, I was able to get to fastboot mode. Rest is history. I flashed TWRP, booted to it and flashed LineageOS again.
Hope it works for you too!

Yup..it's weird thing...i suspect there's a hardware issue too..
But anyway..did you already tried to flashing fastboot rom with QFIL (qualcomm tool) too..?, if not yet..just try it..you can follow tutorial from this youtube here , just bypassing the step for installing any driver if your phone already detected as qualcomm port in your pc.
I try this method to get back my friend Mi4c from dead with condition like this too..just edl or qualcomm port while connect in device manager, then after flashing with this tool..i've try to power on with vol up + power and repeatedly vol down method above..then mi logo appear.
Hope your phone get back turn on soon..

You can try this official global stable fastboot rom that's still based android 6.0 here
If above direct link doesn't work..just visit this link , then choose "Xiaomi Mi5 Global Stable or China Stable Version Fastboot File Download..
If getting error while flashing..just put extracted folder of fastboot rom in the root of your system..ie C:\[folder_fasboot_rom]

Hi all,
After a million tests, now the phone is able to go to fastboot mode easly just pressing power&volume- (even having a black screen...) Any idea to see if this is still worth to fight?
Regards!

Just try typing command "fastboot oem device-info" to see the status of your bootloader...is it still at unlocked or already relocked..?
If still at unlocked state..you can flashing fastboot rom with miflash tool.
Anyway what about QFIL method above that i said before..?, any change happen after flashing with this tool..?

4: Extract the files to C:\
5: Open MiFlash & point the folder to the root ROM folder, example: C:\gemini_foo_bar, NOT C:\gemini_foo_bar\images
6: connect your phone & select flash all (1st option from the left, bottom of MiFlash tool)
This might take a few tries (example - you might receive "missed hello packets)
Once you're done, you can stay with the China Dev, unlock the bootloader & flash a xiaomi.eu rom, or CM.
Good luck.

Brick -> QFil works -> Different Brick??

1A) Accidentally relocked the BL while on custom recovery and rom. Bricked, only turns on to blank black screen w/ solid blue LED.
1B) Able to go QFil Q9008 mode but all attempts result in errors, mostly Saharas. Unable to get into Fastboot
2A) Out of nowhere, days later. From OFF state, Vol+ and Vol- and plug I get the initial screen to scroll to select Reboot, Recovery, Fastboot, Reboot options.
2B) Was able to get into Fastboot and recognized by All-In-One Tool by Mauronofrio but I could not unlock the BL because I could not get a successful unlock file download.
2C) Also was able to get into EDL and what looked like my first successful download/flash in QFil 9008 mode. All previous attempts For the first time I saw progress bars and it was complete, okay/closed.
3A) Nothing happened for a long time so I unplugged and power cycle. Now its still bricked but in a different way. Button combos yield a quick vibration, green LED flicker once, back to all black screen, over and over.
3B) I am assuming I am in a worst brick than before? Now I am unable to get into Fastboot, EDL, computer doesn't even prompt driver issue when its off. Where now?

Hi,
I had the q9008 issue too after flashing the ZUI ROM with QFIL.
Phone turned off itself and then, nothing but a vibration after 15s on power button, and PC recognized it as Q9008 port. No screen, no LED.
I tried to plug it to PC after battery died, and had the red LED. Tried to charge it, and it went alive again. Now it's on AEX and everything is fine.
You can try that way, or follow this guide (I would do that if it would not be alive):

Hi, same problem here.
Did you solve it? How?

Mi 5 Completely Bricked

I've had a mi 5 for about 2 months with a global (non-dev) ROM. Recently I successfully unlocked the bootloader with MiUnlock and then tried to install TWRP through adb and fastboot. The twrp.img flashed fine but then I held the power button to exit fastboot and now my phone is bricked. No charge light, display no nothing. I've tried the test points and disconnecting the battery and I've tried holding the PWR + VOL UP + VOL DOWN. The phone was on about 60% charge I think. Is my beloved mi 5 dead for good? Thanks in advance.

connect your phone on pc and see if there is any detection of port? in device manger.
i recommend you 4pda, there are some guides in which you can flash it via qfil if it goes to qualcomm usbloader mode, and

Question Redmi Note 11S bricked with no way out?

Hi i just oficialy unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp recovery boot and restarted phone. After that restart, phone got stuck in loop rebooting to MI logo. Recovery and Fastboot not loading when i press right buttons. Phone just vibrate and keep restarting. I had to dry off battery to turn it off becouse when i connect phone to cable it auto turn on and start restarting. I tryed also unplug battery and flash it by other rom but connection with pc is broken when phone still restarting every 5s. Is there any chance to save this phone from scrap? Thank you

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.

Have you tried a very, very long press on power to start up?
Had you flashed already that new rom and pressed then boot to fastboot instead of boot to recovery?

This just happened to me on the same recovery. I cleared my storage/cache ect then clicked boot to fastboot to flash a new recovery this then led to me just having a black screen.
Also mi flash seems to require fastboot in which my device is not showing.
Also thanks for any help anyone gives

A black screen does mostly mean that the phone is started in EDL mode.
That is why I advice first to try a very long press on power.
You could check this inside device manager on PC, with or without the right USB drivers.
(Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008)
Flashing from EDL isn't possible without Mi authorisation as long there isn't a hacked firehose file.

Holding power seems to just be turning it off and on again. Also I cannot seem to find the phone on device manager although it plays the connection sound and refreshes when plugged in and turned on. Do you know where I would find it in device manager.
Thanks again for the help

oh wait yes it is in edl mode does that mean I am massively screwed :<
Thanks again.

If the phone does start black again after very long press.
Yes, you are screwed up with EDL and you need to go to a Mi service center, or try an "online unbrick service" with Teamviewer from a third party.

I'll seek out an online unbrick service if I can since I do not live near any mi service centers.
I did suspect it might be EDL but I am glad I now know it is.
Thank you so much for helping and also for the amazingly quick responses I hope this helps out the guy who posted this thread.
I'll post an update if I get it fixed, I won't give up that easily

I don't find the reason, in any of your posts, why it would be bricked. If your device is not really bricked, then to get it out, you have to press the three buttons at the same time for about 9 seconds, while you see the changes in device manager PC, so you can see in which mode it is. Eventually in the booting process, change the hardware buttons as if you will send it to fastboot or recovery mode, it doesn't matter the display is showing nothing, just check the device manager to have an idea.

Thanks for your suggestion.
I tried that yet it still shows the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). I am also a bit confused why it has bricked since I really didn't think I had done anything wrong :/

mine appears in device manager, is that a good sign? what do i do from here

if you do get it fixed please let me know what they did so i can do it as well! thank you and good luck!! ...at least this isn't my main phone..

Be sure to try all the methods to get it in other modes, it's just a timing thing, while device goes from a state to another, then you should try one time to enter to fastboot, and in a new cycle reboot, try to enter to recovery mode, BUT If the device, can't definitely enter to recovery nor fastboot mode, and it always redirects to Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (apart than shutting down), then it's bricked.
EDL mode, using MiFlash tool requires a Mi authorized account, just older devices can use it for free, this is not the case, unfortunately.
Instead, you can try with other Qualcomm flasher tool, like QPST, not sure if it still works for this device (for older it does), you should give it a try.

@SubwayChamp is right about that.
There is a difference if EDL came out of the box or after an attempt to update or other flashing attempt.
That is why to try all possibilities to get into fastboot or recovery.
So try Vol up+ Vol down+power, Vol up+power, Vol down+power and only power always first to see if you can get out of EDL.
You can try QPST too, but search for some HowTo with pictures, because it isn't the same as Miflash and is a bit complicated if you never used it.
There still isn't a modded firehose file (prog_ufs_firehose_sm7150_ddr.elf) for RN10P to pass Mi authorization, but there is a very small chance that QPST does work.
