Good day all,
So last Lollipop ROM I played with (maybe rapture) I accidentally left the Reactivation Lock checked not knowing what it actually was. Upon trying to flash another rom I am welcomed by "Custom binary blocked by reactivation lock". I've tried recovery with Kies but I've never been able to get a code for it. And the serial of the phone doesn't work. I've tried to 'unroot' using stock firmware and Odin. But it bootloops up to the T-Mobile logo. Trying auto root fails thanks to the lock. I'll probably give Odin another shot and see if I can at least get it booted next. But at least I've removed signs of root so I can take it back to T-Mobile. But I'd rather get this fixed myself. Any suggestions?
After you Odin to stock lollipop.
Boot into recovery and factory reset / data wipe and it should boot up instead of bootlooping.
Happened to me once.
Flash latest twrp
Unchecked auto reboot
Pull battery out
Boot into recovery

The same thing happened to me here. I am following the directions posted to fix but flashing the recovery keeps failing. Please help
Edit: FIXED.
I had to Odin Cod6 stock to access my phone again. Soon as you get in, make sure you go to settings, security, and disable the lock. It will ask you for your Gmail account I believe.
It happened a couple weeks ago. It was close to 11 am, my Mi5 pro with MIUI 8.2.1 was fully charged and with no warning message it has shut down. Since then i was not able to boot it to system and the screen have never lighten a pixel again.
I've been able to boot to fastboot and reflash MIUI. No boot to system, nothing on screen.
I also flashed MIUI 8.2.1 using MIflash both in fastboot and EDL Mode, and again no system boot, nothing on the screen.
Anyone here had a similar problem and knows how to solve it?
Any help would be appreciably. Thanks in advance.

I'm experienced this few days ago, but I'm in custom ROM.
It's like sudden network down on my phone then after i turn off it just wipe up all my ROM and let the phone stuck in EDL mode, no matter how I reboot it just won't change to another mode.
And also I'm reflash the V8.2.2.0 firmware in EDL mode like 3 to 4 time already, the first few times it's also won't response after i reflashed, only the last time I was about to give up and give a last try, after that it's miracle boot normal again
I'm experienced this few days ago, but I'm in custom ROM
Stuck in edl mode..i reflash my phone with miui developer rom 2 time. But after flash still will not boot. In second time still can,t boot..It's make me frustasy. Finally i tried push Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button at the same time. Tadaa...my phone boot to recovery mode..Hope this can help you...
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.
Have the same problem, yesterday I flashed the newest RR ROM and now my phone is suddenly dead (it was untouched on my desk)....
Flashed global developer already (MiFlash said it was "successful").... No luck until now...

I had the same issue about a month or 2 ago. MiFlash doesn't do anything and it was constantly stuck with QDLoader 9008.
What fixed mine was taking it apart, disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it.
Booted up fine afterwards, though I lost all my data after the MiFlash attempt beforehand.

This is not rom related as people on miui are also experiencing this...
Hello Friends,
Yesterday I was chatting on whatsapp and suddenly my le2 restarts, and then a blue splash screen appears and device keeps on booting,
hence I went to recovery and clear the data, but that also didnt help me,
Then i flash the 13s rom via Flashone 1.9 then also same problem happens, sometimes it went to optimizing apps 3 of 4 and again restarts with blue LED, i were unable to switch it off,
after draining the whole battery I keep mobile to charge but now it is not charging, it only showing Red Solid LED Continuously.
Now I am also Unable to boot into recovery or fastboot mode.
I again flash the stock 13s rom via flashone 1.9 , i got success msg but then also mobile is not booting nor it is charging.
Note: I am on complete stock rom on locked bootloader, never unlocked or rooted, used as come in box.
Please give me a solution on this, I have searched everywhere but not getting any solutions.
Thanks in advance
Try to check your USB cable, most of the time charging issue is due to cable

Cable is ok. I have another Le2 and it is charging with that cable very well
I am facing same problem. How you solve this issue? Blue led blinks after flashing any rom and bootloop.

I also have the exact same problem. Phone started rebooting as soon as it booted up. Somehow i managed to unlock the bootloader, but to no avail. Can't seems to find any rom which can boot up. So practically i have a bricked device with trwp. Formatted the system and other partitions with twrp, flashed many roms. Still the result is same. Bootloops.
Hi,
try to to reimage your phone with QFIL from this site:
https://www.techpoison.in/2017/12/how-to-flash-letv-le-2-x526-stock.html
I downloaded everything from there, QFIL, Sparse image and drivers. My phone was bricked, but its working normally now. After you flash the image your phone should charge normally, just try to boot it up. In my case i had issues with baseband, not detected, no sim function and no wifi and phone was restarting each 3-4 minutes, but it was operable. Basedband issues can be solved by hard reseting the phone and updating it to 21s using the local update, just put the 21s stock renamed to update.zip to internal storage and run system update. When you get the error - APK missing, just boot it up again and retry the local update, should work fine the second time, i just deleted the update.zip and put back again and ran the update.

Flash the 21s bootloader + modem, one ZIP file, should work fine. Not sure what ROM did you install last time. You can give it a shot with with MIUI 10 - its nougat.
I had similar issues, see my topic, maybe it helps a bit.

Brother same thing happened to me, a week ago. I cant say about your problem but my problem was due to faulty power button. Actually due to that reason my phone actually kept restarting itself. It showed red light blinking while charging and wasn't able to bypass the optimizing app screen. I also thought it was a software issue but actually it wasn't. I spent about 2 hours figuring out what the actual problem was. The problem was: As we know when power button is hard pressed for about 10-15 seconds it reboots itself.
Although the repair shop guy didn't put new power button but he added a tiny piece of paper in between the power button and body housing to prevent the issue and voila the problem was solved.

Hi, Thanks. I actually did that first, flashing through qfil the same rom. it helped me to go to settings after umpteen attempts to go past language selection screen, and i was just able to oem unlock and enable usb debugging (actually after a 2nd partial failed flashing). the phone kept freezing within seconds of booting up. Now After i unlocked the bootloader and installing twrp and flashing many roms thru twrp, i am still having the same problem of booting up and freezing at start-up. cant flash again through qfil, as i will again loose the unlocked bootloader and twrp.
At least , now i can try different roms to see which can unbrick it. last one used was the twrp flashable rom based on eui (small eui by aurel) but it also freezes on language selection screen or beyond.
I am running out of ideas, lets see.
2nd partial failed flashing? any issues during the flash process? i had some issues when i used usb 3.0, 2.0 worked fine for me. If you have also charging issues stay in twrp and let the phone charge properly, its slower but should work fine. You can try to flash the 21s bootloader with modem, maybe it will boot properly. But try it only when you are able to enter the fastboot mode, longpress volume down and power for 10-15 seconds, if that is working you should be able to flash twrp via fastboot and you can experiment a bit. Try to find the chinesse twrp 3.0.2.0 and try to flash the stock 21s version. Should be also an image file, in standard twrp go to install - image, after selecting the image file click on recovery and install, after installation go back, reboot, recovery. Copy 21s to storage, wipe data, cache, dalvik and flash it, chinesse twrp will skip version check and will let you install the stock image, after install reboot but click on do not replace recovery button - this will keep the chinesse twrp installed.
If nothing helps it can be only a HW failure, maybe the power button, try usb 2.0 port during the flash process, i had issues with 3.0 on my pc, if that doesnt help.try a different cable, no more suggestions, sorry.

My phone has been flashed multiple times by qfil method. And always it hangs at initial setup (so it boots up, but hangs at language selection or further up screens, before setup can complete and launcher could be loaded).
While trying to flash again with qfil once it stopped at 25 percent (because the battery went dead). Charged the battery and booted up the phone, and i was surprised it booted up. After 2-3 attempts i was able to reach the launcher screen and immediately enabled developer options and oem unlock / usb debugging. Only had few split seconds to do this and the phone froze again. After that i installed twrp and hence treying different roms. Most fail at setup.
Just tried MIUI 9PRO ROM. It also froze at setup multiple times, but once i was able to complete the setup and miui launcher is up , but it reboots or turn off the phone just after that. So cant do anything with the phone. Unsure of whether a newer bootloader will help in these freezing issues as i have been able to boot up at least in some roms only if for few seconds. Will try to tinker the settings of miui rom (if the phone let me do it before freezing/hanging). Lets see. Thanks for suggestions. More suggestions welcome, because i am still unsure weather this is a software or hardware related problem. I am guessing that it may have something to do with Google security as earlier i was getting msg that phone has been wrongly resetted and needs to verify with Google (but i couldn't get a chance to use the same account, as phone kept freezing at setup).
Did you fully charge the battery, if not let it fully charge in twrp. Flashing the roms in twrp works everytime or do you see any errors? Before you flash anything disconnect the usb cable.
---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------
Try to flash the 21s bootloarder with modem, one zip using twrp. Go to fastboot mode and wipe modems. fastboot erase modem1st fastboot erase modem2st. Put the phone to flash mode and reimage with qfil. Before you do it write down both imeis, you can find them also on the original package on the backside. Also try to remove all sim cards from the phone and try a different cable. If nothing helps, hw issue, maybe the power button mention earlier in this thread.
After reflash skip everything at setup and reset phone to factory defaults. OEM is already unlocked, you dont have to do it again.
I have charged the phone fully before any flashing after that error. I can flash the phone through twrp without any error msg. The phone boots up most of times in various roms but hangs at or after the initial setup screens show (like language selection etc). Flashed the modem+bootloader, success, but it showed bootloader version as 20s (not 21s). Tried the commands u mentioned to erase modems, it say error failed, no such partition found. I had checked the partitions with parted and 56 partitions are there including the modemst1 & 2.
Now re flashed via qfil , did as advised but again the same problem of hanging / freezing at or after initialization screens of various roms.

Yeah sorry i screwed the command its fastboot erase modest1 modemst2, my bad.
Just now i was able to complete the initialization (setup screen) of sparse image india rom. I can reach the launcher and settings for few seconds before the device freezes or reboots.
So the same problem , with which i started, the only good thing is that i have been able to set oem unlock to on, so that i can flash trwp and various roms (but all fail with the same freezing issues)

So you erased modems and reflashed with qfil right? If so i assume its a HW problem. Try the fix with the power button, i ran out of ideas
Last thing which can help maybe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH3VOIlLfvo&t=135s
Download 21s stock image + the chinesse twrp, links should be under the video, i think so, or look somewhere in the forum for new links. Try to reflash the 21s, some people reported that freezing issues were gone after installing the latest EUI. Basically you can do the same after QFIL reflash but you need enough time to copy the ZIP file as UPDATE.ZIP to the internal storage and run the local update via setting, system update and local update, i hope that TWRP will work for you, just follow the video tutorial.

Did that also, the same problem. The phone freezes after the os is booted. I was wondering what is that isnt touched by flashing ( in download mode or fastboot mode or through twrp). I may need to tinker that. The roms are all fine in the sense they all stop at the same points. Something in the phones partition, which isnt touched by flashing? (There must be, as i flashed with qfil, the oem unlock remains, the bootloader didn't lock, and it remains unaffected by re-imaging)
Try this, maybe it helps:

Hello
I wanted to go back to full stock and erase apps and files (I'm selling my Mi Mix).
I was running MIUI 8 Global Rom rooted.
I was in twrp (by Mr Raines). I wiped data, system/cache and flashed miui stock rom, and just after, without boot the rom, I did a format data (to erase everything).
I booted, but it freeze at setup (it's random, it cans freeze on "select your region" as it cans freeze on "Connect to wifi")
it freezes for around 10 seconds, then it reboots.
Again and again...
I have tried to flash twrp, but it stuck on boot screen for around 10 sec and reboot.
I have flashed the fastboot rom with MiFlash but still freeze at setup !
I really don't know what can i do now
Anybody have an idea to fix this?
Thank you
Hi again,
I managed to get it booting (by setup it bit by bit between it freeze)
I'm now able to access to the homescreen but it still freeze after few seconds and reboots.
TWRP now works but i can't transfer files to the phone. Adb sideload works, so i have tried to flash differents rom (RR, LineageOS) but they both freeze when booting (I have the boot animation, but it freeze after arround 20 sec...)

What does TWRP no works mean, should it be "now works" or "not working" did you format after installing TWRP? Read through the guide's again before attempting anything. MTP should work for transferring files, as in
mtp-connect --sendfile "insert file"
I see just read first post again, did you factory reset as well?
