hi,
i flashed 6.5.12 by miflash in edl mode.
Flash done in miflash, but on reboot mi5 is bricked. Logo Mi and shut down.
bootloader is locked.
my devices start only fastboot mode. it don't go in edl mode. if i press powe and vol + it's don't start and shut down.
By fastboot it's don't go in edl
help me pleas
If your are logged into your Mi Account on the phone you can do this: apply for the bootloader unlock code with that MI account (use other phone while you fix the xiaomi), wait for the unlock approval sms code, its tooks like 7 to 15 days, then download the software for the unlock bootloader process, loggin with your approved mi account, put your phone in fastboot mode, connect it to the pc press start and thats all (no need to boot in normal mode for unlock), you should have your bootloader unlocked and you will be able to enter in EDL mode and flash again the rom.
P.D. Sorry for my bad english
Ehi, I know how to fix your phone.
I can link you an italian forum's thread, a guy had your same problem. You have to plug your phone to pc and press power button and vol+ button, your pc will recognize it correctly if you had installed drivers, even if your phone shuts down. Now you can enter in edl mode (maybe mi5 is already in it) and flash a rom with miflash.
Sorry for my English.
Have you try to flash using MiFlash?
You can download it from here
My friend also encounter this problem and what he did is:
1. Use a fresh installed notebook with Win 7
2. Use MiFlash to flash the image file.
Image file can be downloaded from here.
It should works with locked bootloader as you are flashing the stock image.
Please give it a try.

I had the same issue after I had relocked bootloader using command
fastboot oem lock

When I noticed this strange behaviour, I switched to fastboot mode again (VolDown + Power) and unlocked bootloader again using MiUnlock tool for Windows and USB data cable. After that it my phone works again. No data was lost - everything remained as before.
So my phone's stuck in fastboot mode, oem unlocking and usb debugging is off, recovery mode doesn't work, and a custom rom was installed when bootloader was turned off, so is there any way to at least get the phone back to stock, or is it just useless now?
Since your phone is Qualcomm based, then you should have EDL mode in your device.
Have you tried it? There are multiple ways to boot into EDL mode, like adb reboot edl or the EDL cable method.
I don't know if it is unlocked by default on your device or you need unlock key first though.
If it requires unlocking then you have to send your device to an authorized service center, not just any service center.
If it doesn't then you can easily find guides on the internet about how to unbrick your phone with EDL mode.
Goodluck.

Yeah I've tried entering it with the command, didn't work, but I suppose I could send it to a service center for it to get unlocked. I've heard other people have their phones enter EDL mode and other people saying it's basically useless though which was why I was slightly scared about entering it but I'll give it a shot, thanks.

EDL mode doesn't have a UI, if you enter the command and get black screen instead chances are that you're already in EDL mode.
Similarly if you turn off the device and leave it like that for a couple of minutes, some Qualcomm devices can detect that it's bricked and enter EDL mode automatically.
Alternatively you can just make your own EDL cable to force your device to boot to EDL mode, follow this thread here.
Or just get an EDL cable, they're cheap really.

EDL mode is very low level and very powerful, you can literally do anything to your device with EDL mode the sky is the limit. However it requires special Qualcomm EDL tools which depend on your Qualcomm type (sahara or firehose) and correct driver.
Beware that EDL mode commands are very powerful and can mess anything beyond repair. So be careful with whatever command you use while in this mode if you're not sure what it does then don't use it. And send it to an authorized service center instead.
You can extract data with EDL mode and I recommend doing that before flashing anything.
Be careful of unofficial EDL tools, most are just trojans for the desperate.
The official tools are already on the internet. I don't recall the exact name but i think it was something along "QSPT" or something. Sorry for not being of much help.
I'd have searched for the correct tools for you, but it's getting really late here.

Yeah for the first part when I did the command it just said "unknown command" so nothing happened, but yeah I was thinking about getting an EDL cable, would any cable work or would only a specific type work? Also how would you know what the qualcomm type is?

I worded this poorly my bad, what I meant is sahara and firehose are actually firmware boot type and it doesn't matter what tool you use as long as it is meant for Qualcomm devices.
Any EDL cable should work, and as for the tool it's QPST or QFIL.
As for the driver: Qualcomm driver link.
They say QFIL is much easier to deal with as it is standalone, anyway both work similarly.
As for the deep flashing process, you can follow this guide here.
The guide has updated driver, QPST and QFIL links.
For the firmware images I only found this one and it doesn't have Qualcomm firmware in it, in case you need Qualcomm firmware you need to follow the guide I gave you to extract the firmware from another RP2. Here is a video guide on how to extract qualcomm firmware with QFIL.
EVERYTHING I JUST SAID IS TESTED, HOWEVER I DON'T HOLD ANY RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD YOU PREM-BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Hope i helped. And goodluck.
I forgot to tell you how to use EDL mode to extract data, here is an article.
It might be hard to understand at first but you'll get used to it. It's completely safe so you can mess around as much as you want, Don't click random buttons though. Note that: The openpst tool isn't a flashing tool and only meant to communicate with Qualcomm devices in EDL mode.
Here is a different method, although it's meant for Xiaomi devices it's still generally for Qualcomm devices.
Just follow step 7 only. Obviously you won't be using MiFlash nor flash a MIUI ROM.
After flashing the ROM flash a custom recovery to backup your data.
Then delete all data including dalvik cache.
I can't confirm if those methods are tested so follow them on your own risk. However I suggest trying the second method since the extracted data from the first method would be encrypted therefore useless. Unless you know how to decrypt it.
Hello, I've tried everything about my bricked redmi 4x, i can't get it out of qualcomm 900e. I've done test point method, edl mode method and all combinations of them. I've also read this thread and nothing helped. The reason of brick is installing unofiicial rom. Is there any chance to make him alive?
Ok, i finally get into fastboot mode, but my bootloader is locked, is there any way to unlock it? I've tried a lot of programs, but bootloader status is still false.
hi there! i also have the same problem. im stuck at edl mode, 900e , sahara mode, can u help me how to get into fastboot mode?
I was trying to get out of 900e mode like 1000 times and then i succeed to get into fastboot mode and it worked (i don't know why it didn't work earlier). Now i can't boot a new os because the bootloader is locked and i don't remember mi account password (trying to log in by xiaomi mi tool v2).
i manage to get out of 900E mode, by looking for a test point on my device, opened her up and look for the test point jumper, kinda pretty easy. dropping this method here in case someone got hard bricked.

Hi,
I'm stuck with my phone: it still loopbooting every 5seconds, black screen, only retrolight.
Bootloader is unlocked. I wanted to install twrp, but fastboot says partition recovery not existing.
After reboot, i'm stuck with this mod.
Try to press volume - to go again in fastboot : phone is detected by computer, then disconnected because it's rebooting.
Do you have a solution to try for me?
Or what are EDL point? I've tried to make an ELD cable but did not work either.
How long is your bootloader keeps active? If it's about 5 - 10 seconds, you can try paste the command to flash stock recovery. I attached it if it's possible to do so (from the latest global). And by the way - THERE IS STILL NO ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY for our device, sadly. Actually there is some, but only mouse works.
The commands to paste:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img

Boot.img in this case, doesn't make much difference
Sorry but my bootloader don't stay active long enough. I just ear usb detection from PC , then one seconde later, usb disconnection sound.
Phone is still loop booting.
Can you try then pasting "fastboot oem edl" (emergency download mode). The screen should turn black
After that flash with Xiaomi Flash tool
I'm unable to enter in FastBoot mode.
Phone booting black, and every 5 seconds , reboot.
If i push "volume down " button, i hear it vibrate, but nothing. Reboot and not detected by fastboot.exe
I think i have, with all manipulation , relocked the bootloader.
My only way, will to find a way to boot in EDL mode.
Test points, which are unknown so far. You have to disassemble the phone, tho. And you can try to find these points yourself, at your own risk obviously. If you will succeed, pls tell me. We need to know the test points.
I was exactly in same trouble, use This guide that solve the issue.

EDL mode in Xiaomi mediatek are called BROM mode. Don't need to disarm the mobile.
Thanks !
I tried, it works like a charm !

Hi i just oficialy unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp recovery boot and restarted phone. After that restart, phone got stuck in loop rebooting to MI logo. Recovery and Fastboot not loading when i press right buttons. Phone just vibrate and keep restarting. I had to dry off battery to turn it off becouse when i connect phone to cable it auto turn on and start restarting. I tryed also unplug battery and flash it by other rom but connection with pc is broken when phone still restarting every 5s. Is there any chance to save this phone from scrap? Thank you

first let's go, download the fastboot stock version of the ROM then download Miflash, unzip the rom on your main disk twice, now on your cell phone you will press the power off button and at the same time the fastboot button (you must have messed up the file boot so it doesn't turn on) and play Miflash also on C disk, open Miflash on mobile in fastboot mode and select ROM folder don't forget to put the option to just clean and not lock, when the process is finished you wait for the phone to turn on

Thx but phone dont booting to fastboot mode so i cant flash boot.img i tryed now SP Flash too in linux and still same errors becouse phone disconecting too fast. I think technician service will be solution..
Dont use The daanm Sp flash Tool , Its for mediatek devices, USE Miflash, and Its impossible a phone dont boot in fastboot mode, try again, pls hold The button
I have both Mi flash and SP flash tool
Without fastboot you cant do much...
in Miflash it dont do anything even device it dont see on COM3
in SP flash too it react but with errors becouse of disconecting
phone dont boot right becouse both A and B boot images are corrupted.
Does your screen at boot turn red? I've done everything on my cell phone, several things have happened to me and not once did fastboot have a problem, because fastboot is a totally different place to boot, there is only this possibility if you used commands in adb to remove or do something in fastboot that made it useless, it's impossible to happen this in the way you said
yes i did adb commands in fastboot becouse i instaled recovery and this all happend after reboot
no problem doing things in adb, I said in the sense that you deleted fastboot in adb but that didn't happen by the way you said
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold the Power + Volume Down buttons together and immediately connect the device to the PC. You need to time it perfectly.
It will automatically boot into EDL mode, and LED lights may blink.
Download QPST Flash Tool and install your device's firmware using QFIL(comes included in QPST).
I suggest you to read everything about it online.

I tryed but not succes. It just booting every 5s nowhere. Cant get to EDL mode sorry. And correct turn off phone isnt possible i have to unplug battery flex cable but i also tryed. Only possible state where it dont restarting is when battery is unpluged and i connect phone on cable with pc and pressing volume down+power. But connection to COM3 is only 2s.
Well, in that case you need to short the test points on your motherboard and plug the phone into your PC at the same time.
Watch several videos related to it on YouTube first.
Wait, is your phone Redmi Note 11 or 11s?
I will try the point test. I have Redmin Note 11s.
Ahhhh...you posted it on Note 11 forum.
Can't help you mate. Things are more complicated in mediatek devices.
Still, this thread might help a little. Good luck.
