Hello everyone,
I don't know what I should do further. My Mi5 is in a bootloop and I almost tried everything. Here is the story:
On a normal day, I took the phone out of my pockets and it was black. So I though, maybe the battery is dead. So back at home I charged the phone and tried to turn it on, however it directly went into a bootloop (Mi logo for a few seconds - black screen - Mi logo - black screen - and so on...). Okay, nothing bad I though, maybe just the firmware got some strange damage. I then tried almost everything:
successfully flashed the Global ROM -> bootloop (tried both, beta and stable)
succesfully flashed the Chinese ROM -> bootloop (tried both, beta and stable)
flashed TWRP recovery and was able to access it and everything on the phone. Restart -> Bootloop
flashed LineageOS via TWRP -> NO BOOTLOOP, but guess what: EDL MODE?!
flashed again the official MIUI (different versions) -> BOOTLOOP
flashed the Chinese MIUI Stable with the LOCK command -> BOOLOOP (but with locked bootloader)
unlocked the phone again with MiUnlock
flashed TWRP recovery again -> tried various things, but unsuccessful.
Now, I found the possibility to download the log from the phone. Attached here.
(I tried various combinations of firmwares and process, but all ended with the same outcome: no startup into Android)
Do you guys have any idea what could be wrong?
Hi..
I don't know exactly what's wrong with your mi5..coz you're already told that you almost tried everything..but as long the problems just softbrick i think there's nothing wrong to try this way that might be you don't try it before..
What twrp version you're using it currently..?, is it official or zcx twrp..?, if official..just try switch to zcx version first..you can find and download it from here.
After that with zcx twrp tried check and see that your partition system, data and cache are still as Ext4 file system not F2fs or you can try formatting the data partition (caution!!..this will deleting all your internal storage) to make sure everything is clear, then put it again the rom.zip then flash it again the rom but this time just try it using xiaomi.eu rom, you can try this rom
And anyway..what version XiaomiFlash tool you're using it while flashing official fastboot rom..?
Xiaomi eu dont support f2fs,i have tried it myself,the last thing to do if you already haven't do in is to flash the firmware in edl mode(i prefer to try Chinese devolep first),i think that way the phone is fully wiped and than flashed just like it came out of factory,other than good luck

Hey guys, I will try your suggestions. In the meantime, I attached the dmesg log - it shows the kernel booting. Maybe you see something. It would be cool, if you can upload a dmesg log as well so I can compare or check if you can see anything.
Further information:
- I am using MiFlash 2016.08.30.0
- Tried it with the alternative ZCX version AND the xiaomi.eu ROM
- Formatted the data partition as well (I could create a backup of it with TWRP)
- still same situation...
- Is there a way to reset partitions or kind of "deep flash" the device?

Yes. No luck either. Then I tried to flash (via normal fastboot mode) an old STABLE China MIUI ROM: miui_MI5_V7.3.2.0.MAACNDD_905c2c8100_6.0.zip -> resulted in boot -> black screen. Now I can go into either fastboot nor recovery

Hav you got it fixed ??? Even i am facing the same issue.
please do let us know if you have fixed it.
Im using mi5 64gb
Exactly the same problem: " (Mi logo for a few seconds - black screen - Mi logo - black screen - and so on...)"
But this has happened after serious damage (car rolled over the phone) and I replaced the screen with new one. So I guess some hardware might be damaged. Flashing ROM's didn't help.
I couldn't find any solution so far
After screen replace , you got it working ?
I can't get into recovery also.
I tried many twrp versions , i can see the twrp screen but then it get stuck and phone restarts to go back to that mi logo bootloop.
I did flashed many Chinese and global ROMs via flashboot and miflash tool but all the same.
I'm so doomed...
My phone has no history of any fall or anything ..
I wonder what happened all of a sudden.
Thanks for the reply

Okay, have you tried Mi Flash with deep flash cable ? Flash it again with deep flash cable or go to any reseller shop. They have deep flash cable. Ask them to flash it again. It'd cost you upto $10.
I retried yesterday - no success.
I flashed both stable versions: Global and Chinese, but after flashing, I again had the same problem: bootloop. I stop wasting time, until someone knows the problem. I personally think it's a problem with the hardware, as when you see the log, which I posted above (kernel log of TWRP), there are quite a lot of "errors" in it.
Any other idea?
I asked an android expert who worked in mi about it ...
He was almost sure that either battery or the motherboard is faulty.
He thinks the motherboard is of more chance for the issue.
Bummer..... then I have to wait until I get back to Hong Kong to repair (bought it there). Thanks for the update @bilalsmu.

Okay, can you tell me which MiFlash version you have been using (and which ROM?)
I am sorry brother.
Android booted up,I could log into my accounts and I left the phone for charge while it was syncing the accounts ..
When I am back after half an hour , bootloop had already started
I used miflashtool 2016 and miui 8.2.1 official global rom
Hi all,
I have put myself in horrible situation look like phone is bricked . I can not start my phone in recovery or download mode even.
here are the series of step I had performed:
1)Unlock bootloader and intalled latest twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img 16.5M 2016-09-15 07:23:54 EDT for ( since 815/811) has same twrp on twrp website.
2) tried to install lineage OS rom for 811 but the recovery gave me problem that device is 815. Please install 815 rom, so I flashed 815 and it flashed fine and device booted and worked fine.
3)Now the problem starts, it crashed after some time and stuck in boot loop.
4)I had tried to boot in recovery and tried to restore back up image, but it crashed in the middle and after that I was not able to start to recovery.
5) Then I used the LG UP and flash kdz file H811V20r_00_0111.kdz for stock rom.
6) It flashed successfully, but device never got boot up and now I am unable to go to download mode.
7) Displaying small download mode symbol but device is stuck on the symbol and not going to Download mode.
I am stuck now, Is there any solution to come out of it. Please help me.
Thanks
Now my phone starts into download mode, and I flashed the original kdz h81120v_00_0425 using download mode, after flashing first time, it went to opitmizing Apps screen but restated in middle.
After that I tried multiple times sing hard reset, but it always freeze on 2nd screen when I press yes to reset.
I flashed kdz multiple time using LG up, but it stuck on LG logo with unlocked boot loader msg. not going to the bootloop.
Current condition is now I am unable to enter download mode it respond but freeze before entering download.
I can not hard reset as it always freezes on 2nd hard reset screen and not formatting.
No charging.
I am not sure, If this is some hardware issue or emmc fault , Please help me on this..

I am unable to enter download mode, it responds but freeze before entering download showing 4 blue dots.
I am able to enter recovery but I can not hard reset as it always freezes on 2nd hard reset screen and not formatting.
No charging, Device Manager shows nothing.
Is there a way to recover??
I am not sure, If this is some hardware issue or emmc fault , Please help me on this..

Hey
yesterday i almost bricked or maybe bricked my phone. Accidentally changed partition from B to A. Today my phone boot only to nokia logo and stuck on it
Many hours readed about this phone back to life. Recover mode not work, fastboot mode not work. This phone one chance to turn off is completly battery discharge.
If no chance to get back this phone to normal i will get throw it to trash
Classic example of a softbrick can't really call it a hardbrick tbh. PM me all of the details and I'll later make a tutorial if we manage to fix it up.

I did the same thing.
- Downgrade to Oreo
- unlocked officially bootloader
-fastboot boot twrp.img
booted to twrp- Flashed zip on both slot with latest twrp
Changed slot A to slot B and
we have same problem.
How did you solve your issue?
Did you wait for battery-drain?
Or other combination of buttons.
I tried all the button-combination without success.
Hope you could give advice
Regards
Edit: How to solve!
I simply waited until the battery ran out
When battery was completely dead and no Nokia-logo any more
Then I charged the battery 3% juice without booting
and from there I entered recovery-mode with the help of a USB cable.
Holding the volume+ button while connecting the USB-cable
From TWRP-recovery I changed to the other inactive slot
and whooala, that's it!
I have OEM unlocked my nokia 8 boot loader by nokia official method ,
Then I decide to flash twrp and magick
When boot twrp it give an error that locked
Then I checked some forums and find a way ,
I do what is guided in that forum
Change boot slot b to a ... and I flashed twrp then I flash rom , at the end of flash slide to reboot , then I reboot but after that there is no response in device it went blank and black.....
If I connected to PC in some flash tool it show hs com 3008 and connecting sound in pc but mobile being blank and i cant even get to fast boot mode becoz device get blank ( while connected in pc if I power on or hold power but connection sound will come from my pc but no device or unknown device )

Only red notification light blinking while charging. While pressing volume down + power button, it shows boot into ffbm and restarts again. :crying:
Any help is appreciated.

Hi there!
I'm stuck in a bootloop with dm verity error message. Phone turns off and on continiously. I'm not able to get into recovery / fastboot using button combo :\.
How I got into this:
I tried unlocking my merlinx, but ... didn't want to wait 7 days with the official tool. So I used https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient and did the "unlock bootloader" procedure. Phone booted fine, though there was dm verity error message and I had to press the power button to continue booting.
Then I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...roid-for-redmi-note-9-merlin-merlinx.4333179/
Then, I downloaded shrp recovery, crDroid rom, gapps and firmware. Booted in fastboot, did `fastboot flash recovery shrp.img` and booted to recovery. Then I took backup of IMEI, wiped the data and saw an interesting builtin zip for dm verity disabling. Flashed that, then proceeded with custom rom installation. All went smooth.
I booted the rom. There was no dm verity message, nor Redmi logo, but phone booted normally. If I remember correctly, I didn't have to press the power button to continue (there was no message about it.)
Proceeded with phone setup. Camera didn't work ... Tried rebooting, once again no Redmi logo but phone boots fine. "Ok then, I'll try a different ROM and hopefully camera works". I choose "advanced restart -> recovery" and phone turned off. Screen turned on (like you'd expect) but then turned off again. Again, no Redmi logo or dm verity message.
And now the phone does that. Screen turns on and off after ~30 seconds.
My first thought was that bootloader got locked again somehow. Using the mtkclient tool, linked above, I relocked and unlocked the bootloader.
There's still no Redmi logo present, though I can see the dm verity message again.
What have I done wrong? I know it could be the impatience with 7 day waiting, but since phone booted fine 2 times ..? Was it the recovery dm verity zip?
Does anyone know what to do here? I'm able to use mtkclient tool. Button combos for recovery and fastboot seem unresponsive ...
Thank you very much.
Hello.
I did exactly same think with my Redmi Note 9 and I can say you hard bricked your phone. But don't worry there is a way to solve it. You need to follow vagelis199's guide exactly and there should be no worries. It is not so easy but not so hard too.
Sending this from my Redmi Note 9 with android 12 R vendor.
I'm not so knowledgeable about this part of tech but crDroid guide is outdated in my opinion and it should be replaced with new one, that is a big problem and should be considered. I installed Android 12 S vendor, most recent one from my android 11 MIUI and it bootlooped, after installing with Firmware of Global MIUI it was hardbricked. So I am waiting a little and trying to install most resent crDroid with EU MIUI Firmware which very recently was published with MIUI 13 Android 12 EU. I am not sure why it didn't work because EU and Global are very similar.
Thank you, will try that.
