Touchscreen problem after flash - Xiaomi Mi 5X Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I was trying to update latest Pixelexperience and AOSPExtended ROMs (I switch between these two from time to time), and after the first boot my touchscreen started to act weird: if I tap anywhere the tap is either unrecognised or recognised somewhere else, out of position.
This applies both to recovery (using 3.2.3 treble mod) and system, but only after flashing the ROM.
Other recoveries and systems work.
Looks like some Mi A1 (Tissot) devices also had this problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

same problem with me

WiFi Problem

Hi everyone.
Yesterday WiFi stopped working on my Mi Mix 18K. When I try to turn WiFi on the switch immediately goes off again. It was working fine and the connection started to slow down. I turned WiFi off to use 4G for a while, thinking it was a problem with the AP or the ISP. A few minutes later I wasn't able to turn WiFi on again.
The MAC Address shown in the config screen is 02:00:00:00:00:00 and any change I try to make on the config is discarded as soon as I close de WiFi config screen.
It looks like the system were not able to communicate with the WiFi module. I tried a factory reset and flashed the original chinese rom (developer and stable) downloaded from miui site using XiaomiFlash tool (in fastboot mode).
Everything goes perfect except WiFi still doesn't want to tunr on. Maybe my wifi module just broke. Mobile data works fine too.
Any advice before my I start lying on the floor, crying in sorrow?
Thanks to everybody.

Flashing a custom ROM shouldn't cause anything like that, unless you have incompatible firmware. I mean like which ROM did you flash, what are you on now?
MAC Address: 02:00:00:00:00:00

I know but this problem is not new.. other phones have that issue as well and there have been fixes.Nobody can help with MI MIX thou... I can flash any new Rom by Epic Team with no problems but this is not helping with a lack of working MAC address... MAC Address: 02:00:00:00:00:00
No Bluetooth and wifi make this phone a half ass device.
My bet I did not save EFS file during the first flash with a new Rom.

O dear but I have never saved mine in 10 years. So you tried flashing the original chinese rom with miflash, might relock boot loader but as it stands its not really a phone,

I know i made a mistake of erasing everything including ESF file with TWRP before installing a new rom
I did not try flashing the original Chinese rom with miflash.. but must try this eventually.
Of course, re locking bootloader will cause new problems since it was not mine when it was unlocked.

Why do i have to sell it ? Cant, i reopen bootloader after it works? What if it does not work and i will end up with an unusable phone.
Bottom line.. i need to find a way to reload a mac adress into a phone with a right wlan.bin file... maybe somebody can send me in priv such so i can see what is the difference please between mine and working one.

It would be just as usable as it is now, sure I read warnings about using a different efs file, like total brick. If it was that easy I would send you mine, other phones have fixed by flashing the Chinese ROMs, just don't know with the mix. Chinese ROM us very usable if you use English or Chinese language.
I do use the English language so there is no problem .. and since there is no other solution I can think of I will do that... reflash Chinese Rom with MiFlash : )
Thank You in advance i hope it works

Hi James, nothing is easy with Mi Mix , MiFlash is not recognizing my phone so before I will install Chinese rom must solve this problem first... I do have ADB drivers, windows 10 signing drivers off... still Mi Flash is blind Which version would be the best? First Chinese stable Rom ? Returning phone to the original state would be the best but isn't Wlan Mac Address build into a hardware of the device? So how changing Roms helps this issue Just thinking out loud.

Yes I did.. I need this phone for couple of days so in the meantime I will read and educate myself first.. I am reading that lineage rom has fixed similar issues..
I couldn't believe how many people have that same issue without a good write-up or fixes available..
I looks difficult that's why. Even XDA is too short for this one.

Sometimes you just have to use a different pc , if it's recognised by the pc you need to see Qualcomm in device manager then miflash should recognise take a look:

Mi flash worked well finally and loaded Chinese Stable rom first version V8.0.08.0 but no success .. still MAC address shows 02 00 00 00 00 00 so no wi-fi and Bluetooth...
next i will try loading stock firmware and stock rom tonight from this website ..

Any luck with this? I have the exact same problem on mine

Stuck on honor logo

Ive had this problem for ages and tried everything i can think of. hopefully by now someone has experienced the same problem and solved it.
*My phone is stuck on honor boot logo
*i can access e-recovery
*i can access stock recovery
*i can access fastboot and device is recognised on my laptop
* i can wipe cache and factory reset successully and have done many times
*i can and have used the dload (3 button method) to flash stock rom successfully
Now the problem is that although i have flashed the earliest stock rom NEM-L51C432B102 it fails saying incorrect package!!!i think this is because my phone came with B103 or B104 and you can only flash from what your phone originally had and up.
I have flashed NEM-L51C432b120 and also NEM-L51C432b130 and although it says successful it reboots and remains stuck on honor boot logo!
I have entered fastboot and i can issue commands but they all fail saying REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED.
I can't use ADB because it doesn't recognise my device. Obviously ADB and FASTBOOT wont work because i can't access developper options and select enable USB debugging or OEM Unlock because the phone is stuck on honor boot logo.
Also my bootloader must be locked. I have the unlock code but i can't issue the command FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX because as mentioned before it says FAILED REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED.
I have even tried flashing rollback packages(there isnt one for NEM-L51)for other models, followed by flashing stock rom for my model device.
When i bought the phone it came with either the B103 or B104 package but after months of searching i can't find on the internet.
Is my phone a lost cause??? is it hard bricked? So i am praying that there is a guru out there who can solve this very strange problem.
Many thanks in advance.

Oh well. Seriously this is the same issue my frn asked me to help. This is soo serious that we can only unbrick through update.app or else service center. Since u said dload method works but stucks device on bootlogo. U need to visit service center if under Warranty

Flash these files and it should, most probably, be fine.
use dload method as given here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
as there are many different opinions on this method of using only update.app file but thats not true and it should be all the files.
Main file - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1165/g104/v71812/f1/full/update.zip
Data file- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...1812/f1/full/hw/eu/update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
Flash both the files in order. 1st file will restore your system but then you need to have 2nd file so that apps are installed and all working fine.
After 1st file, it may reboot on its own and stuck on honor logo, reboot to recovery and then do factory reset, it will be fine.
Then let it boot to set up. Dont set your phone. Shutdown and flash the 2nd file.
boot and set up.
Good luck. Please provide feedback once done. In case of further issue, let me know and will dig more into this.

you cant follow simple instructions? you shouldnt be on this forum if youre not ready to lose data or brick your device.
Thanks for your input so far people. Much appreciated. @shashank1320 I am downloading the files you suggested and will flash them exactly according to your instructions. I will get back to you in a couple of days with the result. Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately my warranty has expired. The annoying thing is that if i had sent my device off six months ago when this first happened it would still be under warranty but in the UK there is only 1 service center, yes 1, and its hundreds of miles away! So i figured i could solve it myself. You live and learn.
Hey there everyone. I still havent managed to solve the issue with my device and its not through lack of trying. I have re downloaded all of the stock firmwares that you can possibly find on the internet. I also found one ive necer seen before. Its a full service repair b355. Fingers crossed, a miracle might happen and it will just boot up like when i first bought it. to begin with tho, i'm going to start with b102 and work through them b120, b130 ,b130rollback ,b350(beta), b350, b355 and then the b355 full service repair! I also got a couple of rollback packages(around 80mb) if all else fails.
I know, i'm nuts!! Finally before i admit defeat i'm going to part with £15 to buy credits for the dc-unlocker and dcPhoenx programs. From what ive read it has a good chance of solving it. I've taken soooo long before considering this option because i think its wrong that someone(s) is making loads of money from this. Why havent huawei/honor included a similar program in hi-suite. Anyway ive gone off on a tangent.
One last question though. Strangely enough i only just thought of it recently....
Is it a necessity to have your sim card in the tray as well as the sd-card????? All this time i havent had a sim in the phone as its in a crappy old one so i can still communicate with the world!!!!
Thank you to everyone for taking your time to read this. I hope a solution is possible.

Did you flash those files i given? If not can try. Else i will have to look for other alternative
yeah i downloaded those files you had mentioned in your post and followed the instructions to the letter.
I've got a suggestion if you have tried all these above.
Can you try the following on ADB and then try to unlock OEM again.
fastboot oem relock YourUnlockCode
I've done the same and it helped, even when bootloader displayed UNLOCKED. Please try it. :good::good:

@shashank1320 Hi, i have similar problem with my NEM-L21 device... I tried to flash the Elite ROM v5.1 but i didnt succeed so i decided to restore my old rom from backup with TWRP. When i restored it it just didnt load. It was stuck on honor logo for a long time. I tried the dload method many times but nothing worked so far. I even tried unbrick it with HUAWEI Multi-tool but it also didnt worked.
Now i cant acces anything, just fastboot. I cant even turn off the device. Please can you help me somehow?

Try unlocking the bootloader again even if it is unlocked. It will factory reset the device and it should boot fine. Have stuck on this many a time and this was the method i followed.

Hello everybody.
I actually have bought a NUBIA RED MAGIC 3 Europe model and after test I decided change the firmware to Cn because how you konw is more complete and better.
The problem has been that i´m traying to flash the GAPPS and I forget to do a Secure Copy whit TWRP Recovery and now, i have a importan problem.
After do differtent things with "ADB command" y delete my system, I think, becasue now i can enter to recovery mode, only acept "Fastboot mode" and never continue.
When I turn on, always go to "fastboot mode".
Can you send me a copy doing with TWRP Recovery that I could flash with ADB command???
I downloaded oficial CN and EU firmware ZIP, but, inside, it haven´t "system.img" for example and when I flash "Boot.img" and "recovery.img" I don´t get nothing.
Thank a lot and sorry but my regular english.
Please, help me.
I flash without problem "Recovery.img", or "boot.img" and other, but never continue, it came to "fastboot mode" .
I can´t enter to recovery mode, only "edload mode" and "fastboot mode"
What can I do?

Sakilxda. I have exactly the same problem. I just left my Chinese Red Magic 3 with a cellphone service centre to try an fix it. Another xda member besides myself had exactly the same issue.
I think these cellphones are very sensitive an have not yet developed a software support base.
The other xda member with a his unit stuck in fastboot mode tried to install TWRP like I did.
These cellphones are not for tinkerers like you an me who want apk gapps or TWRP.
The software support base for them needs time to mature.
Sorry buddy.
I have switched to an Mi9 that isn't sensitive an behave in a predictable way.

Read the forums mate. I cannot remember where it is but it's there. It's the Chinese version cells that have this issue. More an more owners are effected by it. Flash anything at all with a Chinese ROM an your stuck in an instant fastboot loop.
The member who fixed it is listed as a junior member on XDA.
That is total nonsense as he is way cleverer than me an I'm listed as a senior member

[SOLVED] Mi 9 bricked after latest MIUI 11. Help me please.

EDIT: Solved, check latest post. (#28)
My Mi 9 bricked after i flashed the MIUI 11 beta (9.9.24), then with MiFlash, flashed back to Global (i have unlocked the bootloader)
Now the phone is in this state:
- Screen black, no signal to anything, no LED turns on
- Cannot boot to System, Fastboot, Recovery, or EDL
- Does not react to any button combination (Tried with/without charger, power button holding for 1 min, etc.) Guess i'm f-ed
Can someone help me please? :/
I'm not an expert but if you phone don't event turn on, how you expect someone to help you? The only one who can help you it's a service or a repair lab. I don't think that the problem is in software.

As far as i know Mi 9 cepheus doesn't have rollback protection.... Maybe this miui 11 beta has, and i didn't know.
EDIT: It does not have any ARB... I did something wrong but dunno what
You can try to unlock again with Mi Unlock tool. Helped in my case which was different from yours though. But you've got nothing to lose anyhow.

Damnn it !
What is this sh** of anti rollback ?
Didn't know it even exists.
I will patientlky wait Q Aosp based roms, even if it takes a year ^^
Feel sorry for your hard brick, I hope you'll find a trick

I was so pissed off! I thought i could use my phone like every day, and this happened... Everything is great with Xiaomi imo except this...
You need to open back cover, find EDL testpoint pins and flash full ROM through MiFlash.
If you dont have authorized Mi account for EDL flash, find someone who have it.

It didn't work D
Tomorrow i'll take it to a mi service, it's the only thing left...
If you can go under the device manager and see if there is a usb device connecting? It may be in Snapdragon's flash mode. If it is, you need to find someone with a privledged account or goto the mi store.

Can you dubbelcheck the rom you tried to flash? Make sure its really for MI9? This kind of trouble most of the time happens when flashing a rom for another phone. Like MI9T or something.

Yes it was cepheus_global_images_V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM_20190709.0000.00_9.0_global. I followed every instruction for flashing with MiFlash tool....
I had a similar problem when I received the phone, I couldn't start it right out of the box, it's certainly not the same problem but I waited a few hours and then I had the idea to boot it in fastboot and when I restarted it, it worked

Xiaomi Mi8 no SIM cards and Wifi, random reboots after update to xiaomi.eu 19/12/2019

Hello, I flashed my mi8 like I do every week.
This week I flashed the xiaomi.eu weekly rom, used it for 10hours, then my phone randomly restarted, and now it don't detect SIM cards and don't turn on WIFI, and the phone restart every X minutes.
I think the persist partition has gone. I can't find it on TWRP.
Any help?
Thank you

I sent my phone to checked by a professional, because it fell from the couch in the afternoon, and everything is working, no shorts.
Now I was almost 100% that the 19/12/2019 update ****ed my phone.
I already bought a realme x2 , because this is my 2nd xiaomi that die out of nowhere, the last one was a Mi4, random shutted down, and never went back to life.
Is your Mi8 chinese or globa versionl?
Mine is chinese
Same problem (global version). Did you fix It?

This issue has happened on many phones over the past 5 years, and it can definitely be resolved, it has nothing to do with unlocking anything, it's a encryption problem.
It is possible that when Mi-Cloud attempts to register your sim card, that some sort of security packet is downloaded to the phone for your protection. Ensure that you can sign into your mi_cloud account and locate your device, if using Miui. Also, be sure that you have international texts enabled, they text just once or twice so it doesn't cost more than a few cents.
With all of that being said a persist issue isn't the same thing as a sim card issue, and if you phone will not boot you are well past taking out your sim card. The easiest and fastest solution is to restore your persist partition from a TWRP backup, if you have one.
If that is not an option follow my instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79824537&postcount=2

If you are meaning that your bootloader is locked then the only option ( if your phone is linked to your MiCloud account) Is to return to a stock rom using Miflash or by downloading a fast boot images rom and using the flash all.bat method. The link that I provided earlier has a fast boot images rom linked.
Clarify whether or not you can access fastboot. If you can in fact access fast boot, and you previously used custom ROMs the instructions for installing TWRP are on the official TWRP website. You simply use ADB to push it yo the recovery partition.

hey whats up man,I hope u still answers questions I really hope you do because I'm in a dire situation where is my xiaomi mi8 cant connect to my sim card .It all started this year after a use of this phone since 2019 january.After my trip overseas , I got my own national sim card in again after that it occurs the problem at first was not that consistent,sometimes it detects, sometimes its good,after a while I thought that the sim card is loose so I wedged the simcard with a bit of paper,about sometime it works and then it starts to overheat when it doesn't detect the sim card inside and starts to reboot on its own, if I remove my simcard,its all good I can use wifi without overheating,how can I actually solve this problem? i quite believe that mi account /micloud that is causing all of this? whats your opinion on this? Im not an expert at all.Thanks for your time of reading this
