Accidentaly entering EDL mode - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

So somehow i managed to enter EDL mode by pressing Vol+ or Vol- in combination with power button while in TWRP which instantly put my phone into "death" like mode, no fastboot, no led, display not working, but it was showing as QDloader in device manager so i managed to flash global dev fastboot rom with MiFlash with exception on internal and data wipe, which turned into internal storage being wiped somehow anyway, but main question here is:
Any way to prevent entering EDL mode or leaving it without taking battery out?
Can't spare 2h on setting things up every time accidentally I enter EDL mode...

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 A2 BOOTLOOP can't get into Fastboot or Recovery

So i followed this guide to root my Mi A2 "theandroidsoul (insert dot here) com/xiaomi-mi-a2-root/"
It went all fine but the phone was still not rooted. So i thought maybe get the newest Magisk.zip wich i put on the phone.
So I went back to step 11. to install the new version with TWRP but it didnt go to TWRP although i held the volume up butten and then used the command "fastboot reboot" and then it weent into bootloop
so i Guess i am stuck on my Partition A (in my case) where i installed TWRP but i cant shut the phone dont to get into fastboot and ADB says Error: no device Found".
I Need Help plssss :crying:
If you cant go to fastboot then you need open up phone and use testpoint to force edl mode
But before that hold volume down and power for 10-15 sec to force fastboot
The battery is drained now, i tried to plug it in to the wall and boot into fastboot right away, i saw the fastboot screen for a splitsec but it cut off because it had not enough charge, so i left it plugged in and tried to go to fastboot constantly till the phone had enough charge to hold the boot, i was in fastboot for about 1 minute or so (my plan was to charge it in fastboot mode, leave it like that and then go to the pc to change the active partition back, but the pc didnt recognise the phone) but after that it startet bootlooping again while it was in fastboot.
Could i try to got to TWRP with "volume up + power button" ? and change the active partition in there?
Facing almost similar problem like you yesterday.
Try method I post here

1. Have phone in fastboot mode

3. Connect to pc, type 'fastboot devices'

Enable fastboot access by nuking laf_a and laf_b?

I'm trying to unlock my bootloader using the V35 bootloader someone on the forum had previously uploaded, however I wasn't able to access fastboot by any means (hardware buttons and software). I'm wondering if I were to nuke laf_a and laf_b partitions using QFIL, could I gain access to fastboot? Will it cost anything other than download mode?
Only thing youll lose download mode. But keep holing power with volume down, the 3rd finger can rapidly press volume up button. It should enter edl cus it took me like 3 reboots to see then black screen edl.

How do I Enter fastboot mode after OEM unlocking

Hello
I have a clean untouched redmi9 MIUI global 12.5.5 android 11
I have not even used it before.
I tried to enter fastboot mode by enabling developer options oem unlocking
also USB debugging on
Then I power off and I press volume down + power key
Phone just vibrates and restarts does not enter fastboot. If I quickly remove hands while vibrating it gets stuck on vibrating until i hard press power again. I can never enter fastboot mode even though I tried a lot of times. I downloaded the ADB tools and used .\adb.exe reboot bootloader. Phone vibrates for around 6-7s then restarts.
How do I enter fastboot mode it should not be this hard!
Hi
You are using the wrong command
type
adb reboot bootloder

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

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
