Hello!
Was using 7.2.8.0 ROM out of box.
Tried to update to developer 6.5.19 but something went wrong. Now only fastboot/recovery works. Can't do fastboot oem edl - tells me it should be unlocked. Same problem with fastboot flash system - tells me device is locked. Me PC Suite doesnt recognize device at all. Tried on my laptop and PC. Help please.
any1?
Are you logged into your Mi Account on the phone? If yes I guess you have to wait for bootloader unlock and then flash rom with fastboot.
I logged in last time my phone worked.
The unlock procedure uses my phone and it cannot start so I will be unable to unlock it since only fastboot and recovery modes are available.
any other suggestions?
apply for the bootloader unlock code with your 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

That's pretty much exactly what I wrote in my post XD
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.
Any luck alien2k1?
I'm in the same boat, bricked Mi 5, can access bootloader and TWRP recovery, but can't turn phone on because of bootloop. I want to use Mi PC Suite to flash the fastboot rom. But, when my phone is in Fastboot mode, and I connect it to the computer with the micro USB, it says "Try connect in normal mode first then switch" . But my phone is stuck in a bootloop and I can't "connect in normal mode first." It can't detect my phone in Fastboot mode, and it can't detect my phone in "normal mode" because I can't turn the phone on in normal mode because it gets stuck in a bootloop.
My bootloader is unlocked.
I can't open MiFlash either and I can't turn on USB debugging on the phone because its stuck in a bootloop. What should I do?

If you're on unlocked bootloader and can access fastboot, why don't you use the fastboot packages? There's a script provided by them in the fastboot downloads to flash everything

I am in the same ****in situation, have you solved your issue ?
thanks
Looks like everyone is in the same boat here. I have tried several methods but the Redmi Note4 wont work. Mi PCSUIT wouldnt detect my phone either. Fastboot wont work with the message "Try connect in normal mode and then switch." I am wonder what is the sure and final solution to this problem. The issue is flashing all over the internet but no specific solutions yet.
If you have any working solution, please share. Thanks

Hello,
I tried to install MIUI10 so I followed the tutorial. When I flashed I realized that I had checked the wrong case (clean all and lock instead of clean all) I panicked and unplugged my phone.
I only have access to the fastboot but pc no longer detects the phone I have a waiting device error
Your help will be appreciated.
Enter edl mode and try to flash stock rom with miflash.
Do not lock bootloader on custom rom, ever.

Did you try connecting it after you restarted to fastboot mode? This helped me some time.

It's bricked. Try forcing edl mode by shorting pins. Method given here in the thread.

Already try my device still no detected
There's no other way. I have the same issue (panicked and unplugged my phone) and successfully revived it by shorting the pins. Should try that method, it works!
Thanks you for all your reply. I will try shorting pins
even i tried eld by shorting two pins its not working for me
:crying: bro even i am in same condition bro please do help me if it works for you

Because i couldn't enter edl via fastboot or adb (i had unlocked bootloader ad twrp recovery installed) i tried to relock bootloader (maybe this was the error), now i'm stuck at message that says that system is corrupt and devices wouldn't boot, i can only access fastboot, tried to boot twrp via fastboot but didn't work, fastboot getvar unlocked return no, now i'm trying to follow the guide to unbrick from ARB but phone should be in edl mine is in fastboot, please help me, any suggestion is accepted! Thanks

use option 5 then select the second option
it will boot the device into edl mode.
if you have issues with it not letting you enter it with this then try to unlock the bootloader again.

Hi I have a problem where my pc does not detect my unlocked device in fastboot. This is a problem because I tried to update from global V10.3.3.0 to miui 11 but that did not work probably because there is not the right recovery on the device. So I can not get into the recovery and I can not get into the system this would of course be no problem because I can get into fastboot but my computer wont detect my device. How can I get my 9t pro to be detected in fastboot?
My device is unlocked. I did all that some time ago and it says so when I try to boot into system or recovery.
USB debugging is on. Idk if that is still there because I did try to update the system to miui11 but it was not detecting my phone in fastboot even before I did that update.
When I connected my phone to my computer when the system still worked I could use "adb devices" and that worked
I could also transfer files and stuff when my phone was connected to my laptop
So only when in fastboot my unlocked device is not detected if it was I could get back up there.
I really hope that this is some driver problem or something. Please help
Edit:
So at this point magically the system worked again! But I still can not use fastboot
I seem to have this problem:

Hello XDA members,
I am facing a weird issue on my MI 8. Stucked on fastboot mode. Actually i flashed a wrong device rom via twrp. Didnt flashed and got an error this rom is for violet devices. Done.
Then i tried to mount the storage. Nothing showed on my computer. Then i restarted the device. After restart it never came back to MIUI. Stuck at fastboot. Flashed fastboot mode rom. It give success. But nothing run. Still get back to fastboot mode. Please help. Either i damaged the internal storage or there is something else?
Please help
