TWRP Bootloop after Batery Replacement

Hello.
I have an MI5 since three years and was very happy with it , but the battery needed replacement. So following the suggestions on this forum, I Bought a Nohon battery, the replacement procedure went well until the very last moment. Unfortunately the phone turned on before I put the two parts , the one on hthe upper side of the battery and the one below the battery. SO I turned it off (it went staight to TWRP) and put back all the parts and since the I am on a TWRP Bootloop. I tried to flush the of the custom roms I have downloaded preveosly (Revolution and xiaomi.eu) but no success.
I also tried to connect the phone to a PC (ubuntu, win7 , win10) but now success, it s simply is not recongized (xiaomi drivers installed)
So i dont even no how to put a fastboot rom as the phone is not recongized. Though I would first wanted to save the photos that i have on the phone. (Connecting to pc and enabling MTP from TWRP does not work).
SO i anyone could help me ...I am out of ideas.
Thanks

Only solution I can think of is putting your Mi5 in EDL mode using the PCB test point on the mainboard. However this method will delete all content.
To give you a fair warning: I would try this if I'm 5 minutes away from throwing away the phone - as kind of a last try before giving up.
I found a video tutorial showing the steps, however not in English:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED96PJ-qYMM
The video will show how to operate the PCB test point at 4:30.
After that, you may use MiFlash tool to flash MIU ROM.

Well few days ago my phone just started normally and is working fine so far. i think though that the usb C plug might be damaged, as my phone is still not recognized by my PC.

hello! my phone was 2.5-3 years old so this happened after warranty time.
I try to go some local services and they told me, " we tried the EDL mode but still not working, you have to find a new motherboard."
Then i tried some ROMs with EDL mode, my phone was accepting the ROMs but when i try to restart, it was still rebooting...
So i search Mi service and send them to my phone, after 2 week they send my phone back, and told me "Unathorized attempt on motherboard." And offered me much much more repair fee than the price I got it can you believe that!? i bought it at 1200 but they offered me 1450..... Man this phone is 3 yearsold...
:facepalm:
SUMMARY
Anyway, i continue to search and probably eMMC chip broken, ( or just cold solder)
It happened suddenly, i was wathcing vids on youtube while cooking....
Now my phone dead and i am still sleeping with them
Maybe 1day i can trust someone and fix it.
Also today using note9pro, i hate the mi phones, freezing, camera dust, crashing apps... That was never happen on max2....
If you ask me buy a realme! Unfortunately new phones is thicker than max2.. and the 16:9 format is over :crying:

Look at ozymandious' thread. Could be a hardware issue, due to moist, bad battery, bad components, bad luck, anything until you get the motherboard checked out.

Need help rectifying my phone !!!

So here the deal guys , my mi 9t pro is about a 18 months old and recently started to have issues with battery life (long story and since I wasn't personally using it I can't explain the issues very clearly but it was all over the place doesn't charge at times verified the charger was indeed charging another phone , sometimes the phone turn off when the charger is connected so quite a lot of erratic faults and no consistent issue to point out )
I have been trying to look into it for a week now and this is my observations.
So first and foremost the phones does not turn on ,meaning that when just the power button is pressed it is stuck on the boot screen with just mi displayed on the screens and does not change at all even after hours.
I did find a way around it when I send the phone to recovery mode by pressing the volume+ and the power button and then selecting reboot and reboot to system. This way the phone always turns on . How long it remains on is a different matter some times it a few secs while at other times it could up to 10 mins and most of the time if its plugged to a charger and I disconnect the charger it immediately turns off.
Things that I have tried
Firstly, I had suspected the battery but on opening the rear cover realized that the previous battery looks in extremely good shape additionally I connected the new battery but connect the cable and realised that the fault persisted.
Thinking it was a software issue I also tried to flash the latest MIUI version from its official website with no help.
Now I am certain the issue is with the circuit or with the motherboard.
Any previous experiences and how it was fixed could be helpful .I don't mind doing some troubleshooting myself and can arrange for advance tools if required.
In short would appreciate advance level help as I enjoy fixing these things myself.
TL;Dr my phone is behaving quite erratically and having tried the battery and software need help repairing it.

Did it flash without issues? And how did you flash it, which tool? What variant of phone? And what rom version did you flash?

Question How to unlock bootloader without Mi account?

Hi there! Like it allways happends, the battery was pure and exactly at that moment, the upgrade started to installing and the phone turned of. At that moment my son (3 y.o.) was watching cartoons on the phone, so when he give the phone back, we thaught, that nothing bad happened. But when the phone was charged, we got bootloop
It`s my wife`s phone and she didn't want to create or link existing xiaomi account to this redmi note 10 pro. Bootloader is locked, so I can't upload any recovery there.
Is there any chance to download all the media (photo/video) from this smartphone? The haulf life of my son is filmed there
Or maybe there is some method to flash ROM with 100% guarantee no erasing data (user's files)?
I will be very much appreciated for all the advices!

. as I wanna see the solution as well

Mi 9T pro suddenly entered EDL mode

My 2.5 year old Mi 9T pro entered EDL mode suddenly. Is there any way to repair the phone? I must mention that the phone had a custom ROM (Evolution X), but I did not make any changes to it for the past 8 months

Hi, did you find a solution?
The same thing happened to me today with my 3 year old Mi 9T Pro, went to sleep with a working phone and woke up with a brick. I was also on Evolution X which I didn't change since May last year (9 months).
It shows in device manager as "...QDloader 9008..." which would indicate EDL mode and MiFlash and QFIL also see it in EDL mode. But I tried flashing it many times and it fails each time.
I tried different Qualcomm drivers, different MiFlash versions, a modified authenticated FireHose file and it always fails with "cannot receive hello packet" or "can not read from port COM".
I even opened the phone, tried shorting the EDL test points, tried disconnecting and reconnecting all the connectors and nothing works.
I think the most probable cause is hardware failure which really sucks because the phone worked great until now and I wasn't planning on replacing it for t least another year.

Hi, no, I did not find any solution. I also tried all of the things you tried (except opening the phone). I also spoke to a guy that has an authorized xiaomi account and he told me that he's 99% certain it's a hardware problem. Sadly, I think he's right. I bought a Poco F3 now, despite the fact that I wanted to hold on to the Mi 9T pro for as long as possible.
