Hi everyone,i have purchased xiaomi mi5 from AliExpress and i told the seller to not open the box,and thats what he did,he didnt open the box,so the phone came with stock Chinese stable miui 7.something,and when i updated,it updated directly to miui 8.1,no updated in between, straight to miui 8.1,but i want to install the global stable rom,the bootloader is locked,i have requested to unlock it but so far no news,i tried to boot in edl mode by holding the vol up,vol down and power and cable in at the same time and it boots in some mode but idk if its edl,as far as i know edl mode is with black screen with "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" on the pc com ports,but in my case there is no such thing,and there is black and white phone with usb connect on the phone screen,but nothing on the pc,do i have problems with drivers or i dont enter edl at all ? and do any of you guys now any other method to install the global rom except the other one with the engineering cable ?, I really need your help guys please help me if you can,thank you in advance and have a great day
I've successfully updated my mi5 to global stable using the updater app even my bootloader is locked..however, when I got my mi5 2weeks it's on miui 8 global beta(dev rom) not chinese. Not sure if it will work on your device. Here's what I did:
1. Download global stable from xiaomi's official page
2. Reset the phone. (Settings > Additional settings > Back up & reset)
3. Transfer the zip file to phone (doesn't matter which directory)
4. Connect to a strong internet connection (this is important to verify the update package)
5. Open updater app, tap menu (upper right corner) then tap choose update package
6. Locate zip file and it will proceed with decryption process
Note: You need to be connected to a strong internet connection all through out the process or the verification and decryption will fail and get "can't verify update" error
Hope this helps. ?

I will try first what you tell me,if that doesn't work than i will try installing global beta if that works than global stable,thank you very much
No i didnt work with both beta and stable,now i will try to flash Chinese beta and after that i will try to install global beta or stable,i hope that works because i am out of ideas.
Screenshots:
Nope,nothing it didnt work unable to install global rom stable or beta,looks like i will wait for the bootloader unlock if any message comes at all i just hope they will let me unlock it,they definitely need to change the way bootloader is unlocked.
Coz you'r phone still has miui 7 (don't know in miui 8 coz never try it)..so i think you can try go into edl mode by adb command while in home screen.. "adb reboot edl" (don't forget to activate usb debugging in developer option first)

Right now with my mi5 with xiaomi.eu 8.1.9.0 rom that's based 7.0..i've try it to go into edl mode through fastboot mode by command "fastboot oem edl", and it's work..you can try it..if your pc success detecting you mi5 as qualcom HS-USB then try flashing miui rom that you want with miflash tool.
Firstly "adb reboot bootloader" to go into fastboot mode..then type "fastboot oem edl"
Hope it's help.

thank you for trying to help me but that didnt work as well this is what it says:
"FAILED (remote: Need to unlock the device to use this command)
finished. total time: 0.014s"

You don't need cutting you original cable..you can buy it like this one in aliexpress here , this already has converter too for usb type C
Sorry..i don't realize that fastboot oem edl just for unlocked bootloader..coz mine already unlocked, but i have some another way before you using deep flash cable to go into edl mode..but i can't testing it..coz mine already unlocked.
- I've read your first post about using hardware key to go into edl mode by pressing and hold vol up + vol down +(you said you're pressing power too, i think in this step you're wrong) then connect the usb cable..what i know..the right instruction is , pressing and hold vol up and down at the same time (without pressing power button)..then connect it via usb cable to your pc..then you can see in your device manager that success detecting as qualcom or not.
- In xiaomi redmi note 3 device you can go into edl mode through fastboot mode with command "fastboot reboot-edl", but this command only can apply with minimal adb that are already modified, you can download it from here
Are you sure @vlatko98 that your request to open bootloader is not granted? I made the request, waited for SMS for two weeks but nothing... So i navigated again to en.miui.com/unlock, logged in and I was able to download the mi unlock app. And the unlocking process was successfull.
If you havent, check if you can download unlock app and try to unlock your device with it.
How long ago have you made your request for unlock?

Sorry i didnt mention that i have tried with the vol buttons only as well,it didnt work,the phone boot up to recovery,same as holding the power button,soon i am trying with costume deep flash cable,there is no need to cut anything just to shourt ground and data from the usb connector that connects to the pc,i just dont understand why xiaomi if it plans to make global rom why not make it simple to change it,why users have to figure things out,we buy a phone to use it not to experiment with it,you hear me xiaomi ?
btw thx for helping me out.

If you already received sms that unlock already granted from xiaomi..there's another problem that sometimes your account not already correctly sync with xiaomi server..even already sync correctly still can't unlock flawlessly..
You can try following step and trying to unlock again and again..but just this time..just trying every day..if this day doesn't success too you can try it again tomorrow.
To make sure and minimize that everything is correctly:
- Make sure you're already at the latest china developer / beta rom..
- Enabling find device status at mi cloud in your phone..also just try login at i.mi.com (just this time try login with your acct number id) and activate find device too to make sure everything is sync correctly.
- Activate usb debugging and unlock in developer option in your phone..
- Trying unlock again with mi unlock..just this time try login with your acct number id too.
Hope it's help..and your phone can soon unlocked..

i tried all you tell me,mi unlock still says “your device is not supported by mi unlock” but i dont understand why i was able to make another request at mi unlock website,like the first time i did that,i requested again 2 days ago,i will see what will happen now.
I received another SMS and unlocked the bootloader successfully and I installed global stable ROM, thanks for helping guys )))
Good day everybody
Straight to the point. I tried to flash a different rom, EU version of MI6X MIUI on my device and suddenly, at the reboot after the flash, the screen remained black.
Strange thing is that the device is still detected through usb on my pc, even on MiFlash its detected. But i cannot do anything, tried flashing a rom with Miflash but i get Catastrophic Error!
Please someone help me i dont want to change this phone!
Thank you so much!
Edit: after researching, i seem to be stuck in a useless EDL mode. My pc can detect the phone (Qualcomm 9008), but MiFlash cannot flash anything. The flash starts and based on the version of MiFlash im using gets stuck after a couple of seconds. for a different reason (Authentication on 2018 version, Send configure command on 2015 version) I dont understand. Please help

On MiFlash 2018 for example, i get the Not Authorized to Download error.
Maybe the fact that i tried to flash a global rom is the problem?
Try to install twrp , and flash hex kernel , and them flash EU rom, if is not possible , try to flash vía TEST POINT

That is the point. Its already in EDL mode, and my pc sees the phone. But Miflash doesnt allow me to flash because of authorization.

that error is because of your ARB .. DOwnload the latest rom with highest ARB level ...like explained in the guide
if you have latest rom with highest ARB level but still get errors start trying all different versions of Miflash ..I tried three or four before I found one which worked ..

So i tried again with this release V10.3.6.0.PDCCNXM_20190816.0000.00_9.0_cn, with multiple different miflash builds, same error. Tried patching the rom and not. Nothing worked, same edl authentication problem.
I believe, pretty sure, this is the build that bricked the phone: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI6X_8.6.28_v10-8.1
Maybe it can help you understand better? Also, how do i determine which is the highest ARB build available?
Thank you so much for the help!

did this brick happen when you wanted to change from jasmine to wayne ?
the error you are getting is your phone was stuck in EDL too long ...if you wait for more than 10 seconds you get error ..
open your phone manually amd enter edl again with test point
change to Miflash amd flash but dont wait longer than few seconds
also try with QFIL ...sometimes it will work when Miflash has timeout error
and every error is different ..if you dont tell me the error i can not say ..if you bricked with the 8.1 rom you dont have bad situation .. low ARB ..or if you used conversion zip you wont have ARB and your problem is you are too long in Edl mode
try to enter fastboot by holding power and volume down for very long time ..
if it doesnt work your only way is test point ..im sure you dont want that problem but it is all
explain your errors better if you want success ...if you go to fastboot see if computer will listen to command
fastboot oem edl
try the flashing again .....
look below

Ok so, ill retry explaining
I was on a CHINA Wayne MI6X originally, unlocked bootloader and TWRP. It was only updated through OTA and never flashed any custom rom before.
Then, i tried through TWRP to flash this build xiaomi.eu_multi_MI6X_8.6.28_v10-8.1, which is a EU rom, think it is A2 rom and the devices reboot to a black screen, EDL mode.
After, i tried flashing many different versions of WAYNE CHINA roms through different builds on MiFlash but none worked. MIUI 10, 11, even 9 but always get EDL AUTHENTICATION error.
So, CHINA to EU to EDL bricked phone.
Now, i tried rebooting to fastboot holding for a long time VOL- POWER button but adb doesnt see the phone, i think im still in EDL mode, because device managaer sees it as QUALCOMM 9008.
Also, now on MiFlash 2014 i get Error loading type library/DDL. (0x80029c4a: wait port ready to use 9)
Same on MiFlash 2015 and 2016.
On MiFlash 2018 i get EDL AUTHETICATION error.
Same o Miflash 2017.
Let me know if you understanded better, still, thank you again!

ok man i think you made a big mistake flashing that package because it locked your bootloader ( i think ) ....
if the computer can see your phone as qualcomm9008 it is in EDL mode
you can save your phone but the authentication error ..could be ARB or locked bootloader ..
but anyway your best and ONLY option now is to get android 10 .zip for Wayne ...latest update for MIUI .. then
follow the instructions in the unbricking thread i sent you ..unzip ..search for folder in MIFLASH ..
-download QFIL flasher ..install and run AT SAME TIME
- select the choose port manually option and leave window open
( so three windows open .. miflash ( ready ) ... QFIL with sekect port open )
- then connect your usb cable to computer ( not phlone )
- get a paperclip and open it and fold it in half to look lkke tweezers
- then on another phone or computer follow video on how to open phone and do test point ( you will hold the twi points of the paperclip on two points in the phone )
- while holding the pin on the points insert usb to phone with free hand
- look at the select port manually window of QFIL ...when you see a device appears here let go of pin ..
now say okay to close sekect port window so it closes ..
- on Miflash press " refresh " then "flash" QUICKLY ..dont wait longer than 10 sec
- it will start to flash
*to opem your phone you need a guitar pick to push between the screen and body ...also special screw driver ( buy on Amazon ) to remove screws you see in video ..
# the reason is your phone has been too long in EDL to flash anymore ..so if you cant exit and enter EDL withbuttons or fastboot you ONLY have one option and that is testpoint
#that is why i said it must in 10 sec after you enter EDL that you flash or you will just have more errors everytime
***then you must just continue to enter and exit tesrpoint using my technique until one copy of Miflash will finish without error .BUT KEEP IN MIND ..everytime you fail you need to start over bevause too much time passed since you were in EDL
******dont lose hope beause miflash will accept and flash the officiak rom ARB4 ... if you find the right miflash version amd start flashing before EDL timeout
good luck bro go watch testpoint video and search for a guitar pick and screwdriver

ok good work it is a good guide and it will help other people if they have trouble finding modified programmer files or connecting the phone and flashing quickly enough
here the difference was that i assumed but forgot to remind you to use the patched programmer files not to be rejecting but it was also included in the post of other XDA guy :good:
Hi, if my phone is working, can't i force test point? i'll explaind...
In the last update (april patch) my phone is charging slowly (even with a 3.1amp xiaomi charger), sometimes the usb connection is recognized, sometimes does not. Fastboot is not working so i cant flash anything. Xiaomi and android one was my goal and now is my curse. I want to flash it back to 6x but i can't get EDL even with test point. What else can i try? or just wait for may update?
Ediy: the only way i can connect it to the pc is reboot it in safe mode

if your phone is rooted with magisk you can boot to edl mode from magisk modules section
you can enter edl from fastboot
fastboot oem edl
you can enter edl mode by opening up your phone and shorting it ( testpoint )
#if you do this correctly it is IMPOSSIBLE that it "doesn't work"
your biggest problem is that your usb port or usb cable or usb dock is faulty ( maybe try getting it fixed )
because if your usb cable does not work what is the point of edl mode
My cables works, i tried 3 and i can only get the USB debugging alert and I'm able to do a backup only en safe mode. Fastboot however is not working, never. I will try test point again then. Thx

well then force it using test point. i have come to realise i really like my wayne but it is a sensitive phone and bricks easily ... and once or twice the only way to get it back to 100% working order was testpoint ....
there is always the possibility of hardware damage obviously ..which is likely the case if testpoint fails
not many know this but you can corrupt fastboot on phone in which case .... testpoint ..since you've apparently tried everything I'm surprised you haven't done it sooner . it's only 5 minutes if you have the right screwdriver.
aren't you rooted - then just boot to edl with magisk manager ... if you have converted and done all sorts you are surely running magisk ?

ok but this is exactly the problem ... if you aren't making contact properly or if you let go too soon or if your clip is dirty or oxidized or just oily etc
try scraping the ends of your clip until they are shiny or rubbed "raw" as in the top layer scraped off ...clean your hands and the tip with alcohol
they try testpoint again ...
did you make sure to install the special Qualcomm drivers from their official website
have you tried more than one usb cable ...have you tried different usb ports ... did you remember to diconnect the battery ...did you hold the clip in place for long enough ..stuff like that
it is simply but just as easy to do it wrong and come away thinking it doesn't work
* i would suggest downloading the official Qualcomm falshing tool and drivers ..install that ..open the Qualcomm flash tool ... position the pin ..now plug in usb ...keep holding it in place until the device appear in one of the com ports in Qualcomm flash tool
then close it and proceed to Mifalsh

not sure , but before bricking screen was completely functional and after bricking some times it goes to android one logo and also fastboot mode ( i explained this just to tell the condition of screen, )but after flashing screen is blank with backlight .
yes in mi flash tool in status it showed success ( and also i selected clean all before flashing )
first i downloaded the mi flash tool 2019 then downloaded fastboot file from official website of xaiomi and qualcom drivers then flashed and it successfully flashed.

This suggests something could have happened to the display, bricks usually result in edl mode but fastboot should not show if it was hard brick no?
Soft brick is just non booting.
It is coming in success either means something wrong with the screen or maybe the drivers....
Can you enter fastboot and/or recovery mode to check that display is working?
Have you looked for MiFlash in a specially patched version?

actually before flashing also ( when i didn't opened the back panel of mobile ) i wasn't able to enter into fastboot , yeah you can assume 1 in 100 times it enter into fastboot.
is it worth to change motherboard of mobile incase the mobile is hardbricked.
i am unable to understand the last line properly.
ps : sorry for late response , dont have alternate device
hey. Im hoping i can get some help. i just purchased the Chinese Version of the Mi 11, i waited a week and just unlocked the bootloader so decided to flash the Global Rom. However, things went wrong and now im stuck with a black screen. I can NOT get into recovery, but i do hear the devices connecting when i plug it in. I was on the Chinese Version 12.5.9.0. I tried flashing the Global Version 12.0.22.0, the when it i got stuck on the black screen. I tried to do research on it but can not figure it out for the life of me. Please, Need Help.. Thanks in advance. Bless..!!
Is it recognized in the computer?
Are you able to use Mi Flash Tool?
Have you eliminated the possibility of screen malfunction?

If you can't access on your recovery... It's bricked. Are you sure to have flash the good ROM ? When you have this problem, it's due to a bad ROM flashed or corrupted Data / Download (Bad CRC/MD5) flashed under MiFlash on Fastboot Mode.
1/ Try combinaison : POWER + "-" or POWER + "+" with 5 seconds press
2/ Plug your Phone on your computer, launch Xiaomi Unlock (show device ? Locked/Unlocked Status ?)
3/ Plug your Phone on your computer, MiFlash (show device ? Locked/Unlocked Status ?)
4/ Plug your Phone on your computer, try "XiaoMiTool V2" for trying Unbrick

You'll have to pay someone to remote in to reflash the rom onto your phone if its stuck in EDL mode, i had the same issue when i flash and clean lock as well by accident and my phone got stuck in edl mode and this guy managed to fix my device (its costs 2500 Rub which was around £26 for me)

Listen, I would like to thank you for helping me out Brother. I was able to reach out to the person you recommend, however he took a few hours to respond back to be. By the time he did I already had some I found on YouTube do for me remotely as well. Only chargers me $40 US. Im pretty sure I would have been able to haggle him down but figured it was a fare price. He also was kind enough to flash the globle 12.5 ROM as well. On that note, would you know if I'll be able to receive OTA updates? Or will I have to install TWRP RECOVERY and flash the new updates when they come out.? Thanks again for your help brother.

There's no such thing as "bricked" in 2021... even if you have to flash it via EDL, still not bricked.

I had same situation on Redmi K20 Pro. You'll need to flash it using Mi Flash with a dev account via EDL.
And after flashing global rom, never neeever NEVER lock it back when not having chinese rom on a chinese phone.
You are in edl mode, you can flash this rom :
Official Engineering Firmware for Mi 11 : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1quyYpwV8IkZxnICZ2PEBXduuarxemlBI/view?usp=sharingi reupload this for you, tell me when you have downloaded it. Flash it with mi flash, let the phone boot, reboot in fastboot and flash the rom you want.

Thanks you for the EDL firmware. I will download it and just in case I'll ever need it in the future. Plus I'll keep you in mind if ever I need help in the future. Honestly, I never had such a hard time reflashing a device stuck in bootloop. I've flashed so many devices in my life time but never came across such a difficult device to repair. More thank likely I'll be sticking to OnePlus. Much easier.
