No ROM boots up - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi, I'm having troubles with a Mi 5 of my friend. Here's what I have tried:
The bootloader is unlocked. (When I power it on, it clearly says "Unlocked")
I tried restoring via fastboot with MIUI V10.2.2.0 > Everything went great, I did not get any kind of errors, but the smartphone never booted up, it stuck at Mi boot animation and didn't reboot, just booting up forever.
I tried installng TWRP 3.3.0 > Installed LineageOS 16.0-20190425-nightly > Got no error and it still didn't boot up. (same thing, the boot animation loading forever and no reboot.)
Any idea what am I missing?

I'm sorry, 3.2.3, of course, but honestly it makes no difference.

Mi5 in mysterious bootloop (unlocked)

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.

Your welcome...
Can you just try flashing with mi flash tool with the option 'clean all and lock'
I just tried mine, and now android is loading *fingers crossed*
Will update if it did complete..
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

Magisk updated today, worked fine, but after rebooting stuck on google logo

I don't think it's bootlooping, it just sits on the splash screen. I can still go to the bootloader and TWRP recovery. What's the best course of action?
I'm also seeing this behavior I think. I did:
1) ./flash-all with Android 9 factory image.
2) Reboot, turn on ADB access etc.
3) Install MagiskManager, latest version 6.0.0
4) Reboot into recovery, and install Magisk v17.2, everything seems okay.
5) Reboot system
After the reboot, it gets stuck on the Google logo and then eventually reboots into recovery...
Anyone else seeing something like this?

Stuck on TWRP splash-screen + P10 only boots into recovery

SOLUTION: Turns out I was still able to boot into eRecovery. From there I could reboot normally into the system. I then went into fastboot and flashed Blackball's TWRP 3.2.1-0 build for Oreo. Everything boots smoothly now.
Hello,
today I decided to try and flash the ResurrectionRemix-GSI to my Huawei P10 (EMUI 8.0) which was successful at first. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP via fastboot (First Link to TWRP in this thread). From TWRP I did a complete backup and wipe and installed ResurrectionRemix (ARM64 A-only from this thread). The system booted up just fine and everything seemed to work like a charm. I then went on to boot into recovery again, because I wanted to install the pico package from OpenGApps.
The problem now is that I'm stuck on the splash screen of TWRP. When I try to turn off the phone by holing the power button, it just reboots to recovery, which greets me with the everlasting splash screen. I have also tried rebooting the phone via adb -> same result. And to make it even better: When I try to get into fastboot mode via "adb reboot bootloader", I get thrown back into recovery as well.
My current "strategy" is to just drain the battery and hope for the best (well... I can't even turn the phone off anyway). I've read that other people have waited up to 6 min for TWRP's splash screen to dissapear. I'm waiting for roughly an hour now, so I'm pretty positive, that it's stuck.
Hope someone can help.
UPDATE: The battery has drained now. When I connected the phone to its charger, it went straight into recovery and is stuck again. Fastboot still doesn't work.
Huawei phones do not seem to go along very well with TWRP for installing GSIs. The original recovery is required to do a factory reset, before you can boot into system. Can you reboot in fastboot mode? If yes I would flash the original recovery and system from fastboot. It is clearly explained on the Openkirin.net website. I can also recommend flashing one of their GSIs, since they include the Huawei camera and nano Gapps.

No, I can't boot into fastboot mode, at least not via adb (only method I know of). When I run "adb reboot bootloader" it just throws me back into recovery mode with the splash-screen stuck.

Reboot bricked the phone

So I have a K20 Pro from China that came with bootloader unlocked and a 'global rom'. I installed TWRP 3.3.1-13 and installed Xiaomi.EU and worked fine for some days. Today I rebooted to recovery from the power menu and in TWRP it asked for a password and I entered it then it started decrypting data and I just rebooted system and it's now stuck in a bootloop in Redmi logo and after a while it just reboots back to TWRP and asks for the password. How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance
I tried reinstalling XiaomiEU ROM but now it says there's no OS installed. It gets stuck in the Powered by Android screen and then after a while goes back to TWRP. What should I do?

Try formatting data (where you type yes)

Stuck in recovery Loadscreen

My mi 9 is stuck in recovery loading screen, if i want to boot it normally, it just goes into bootloader. I also tried to flash with MiFlash Toll, does not work either. It just tells me it is flashing all the time and does not finish (waited more than 20 min!).
Anyone got an idea what could have happened?
