Mi5 suddenly died, unable to boot to system, nothing on the screen

It happened a couple weeks ago. It was close to 11 am, my Mi5 pro with MIUI 8.2.1 was fully charged and with no warning message it has shut down. Since then i was not able to boot it to system and the screen have never lighten a pixel again.
I've been able to boot to fastboot and reflash MIUI. No boot to system, nothing on screen.
I also flashed MIUI 8.2.1 using MIflash both in fastboot and EDL Mode, and again no system boot, nothing on the screen.
Anyone here had a similar problem and knows how to solve it?
Any help would be appreciably. Thanks in advance.

I'm experienced this few days ago, but I'm in custom ROM.
It's like sudden network down on my phone then after i turn off it just wipe up all my ROM and let the phone stuck in EDL mode, no matter how I reboot it just won't change to another mode.
And also I'm reflash the V8.2.2.0 firmware in EDL mode like 3 to 4 time already, the first few times it's also won't response after i reflashed, only the last time I was about to give up and give a last try, after that it's miracle boot normal again

I'm experienced this few days ago, but I'm in custom ROM
Stuck in edl mode..i reflash my phone with miui developer rom 2 time. But after flash still will not boot. In second time still can,t boot..It's make me frustasy. Finally i tried push Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button at the same time. Tadaa...my phone boot to recovery mode..Hope this can help you...

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.

Have the same problem, yesterday I flashed the newest RR ROM and now my phone is suddenly dead (it was untouched on my desk)....
Flashed global developer already (MiFlash said it was "successful").... No luck until now...

But you are past that now

I had the same issue about a month or 2 ago. MiFlash doesn't do anything and it was constantly stuck with QDLoader 9008.
What fixed mine was taking it apart, disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it.
Booted up fine afterwards, though I lost all my data after the MiFlash attempt beforehand.

Were you using any custom kernel?
This is not rom related as people on miui are also experiencing this...

Bootloop and nonstop Restart Issue

Helllo,
My Mi A2 can't boot into the system it keeps restarting all the time. Even when I have tried go to fastboot mode, it goes it, but after several seconds it restarts, so I can'd do anything about it.
I have tried power+up, but "no command" error.
What can I do?
Is there any solution?

Open the phone with screwdriver and short the "test point" ...then when in edl flash the stock ROM ....and anyway after that ..in fastboot boot twrp and flash a zip from the global telegram group or my other posts to restore your persist
If after that your phone still fails to work it is a hardware problem causing this ....

It is a physical process not in software so just Google a video on YouTube so you can see the physical actions and copy it

Update:
I have replugged all the cables and while battery was drained I have turned it on again.
It worked!
I even make an update for android. But after some period of time, it started restarting and now I have the same loop.
I have unlocked the bootloader while it was working, but it doesn't help me right now at all.
Phone keeps restarting...
While it was working and charghing, some application was automatically opening and sensor started making some clicks.
When I had the same ecounter with other phones, it was battery fault.
What do you think guys?

I am also facing this issue. Sometime it reboots randomly but other times it works fine. Should I roll back to Android Pie?

Hi! I am facing a similar issue: Suddenly my phone shut off. When I wanted to turn it on, it would shut itself off after ~3 seconds of the boot screen. If I plug it to charge, it would start rebooting every 3 seconds.
I have left it charging for a long time, and at a certain point it stops doing this and shows that it is fully charged. I have tried to unplug it and turn it on after this, but I am getting the same result. Once again, charged it, and tried to turn it on while connected. It turned on, but once I unplugged it (before unlocking it) it froze .
Recovery mode does not work (same result), but fastboot works. Unfortunately I can't flash it as I can't risk losing all my data.
Having said this, I want to know more details about what has worked for you. Did you drain the battery and then connected it to charge?

That seems quite cheap. It's up to you, I guess.
If you want to solve it yourself, you can give it a try to flash it in EDL mode. I have tried it with no success yet.

Umidigi BISON Boot Loop

Hi !
Mi cellphone worked well for one month and yesterday began restarting by itself, I tought It was a problem with the button ON; but today it gets worst, the phone doesn't restart to the menu home, it just keeps turning on in "Bison" and then it turns off, and again "bison" and turns off, here a link
I can't use the recovery mode because the times i reached it the phone turns off; there's a mode to block phone's turning off? maybe using some buttons?
Please I beg you, help.

i have got the same problem with my bison also ,on one month it was work properly bt nw restart it self every 4 seconds

can you give more information? Did you unlock the bootloader? Did you install another OS? Did you use Magisk?
Or was it a stock image with locked bootloader? And failed on its own? Its possible there was an OTA update but I cant tell with the info you supplied.

Hi, I just update the software from the provider (i think is a OTA update, a normal update).... and then the problem appears, it takes a few of days to show the bootloop; i dont do anything else.
Now im triying to flashing the rom but it's SO ****ing difficult, because the phone restarts always, but not completely.
I tried to use the default recovery mode, but the phone restarts...
I was thinking about some file to block the bootloop while flashing? it that possible?
Using the flash i just do download, and to finish the process it left just 3 files: supersu, cache and userdata, but it restaaaaarts :C ... i tried the option "upgrade firmware" but formating stops at 88% XD
I was thinking about a full format, it could be worse, no?

YES, after that loop of boot problem,it came in normal after flash by SP flash(firmware upgrage),, then problem arose again,flash secondly by SP flash(formart all and download),this time it start normal but with another problem(TEE and google unwriten key,lost of IMEIs),i decide unlock bootloader and root it by magisk (follows umidigi comunity tutorial)bt all fail,it remain loop of booting it take more than 1mins show bison last log before start and shotdown again,,,off botton respond very slow on power on.

My Bison had this same infinite boot loop problem and I found out that the problem is in the short-circuited power switch. You have to open it and disconnect the flat from the side buttons to test

[HELP] Bootloop after trying to boot to recovery. Can't go anywhere

Hey!
I was using my phone as normal, and installed an update for PixelPlusUI, it was working fine and all, until earlier today, i tried going into recovery to fix an app issue. After that, the phone just bootlooped. I figured that going into Fastboot would fix that, but the problem is, i can't reach any of those modes. It just goes to the Redmi logo, reboots, and repeats that infinitely.
I heard about EDL mode, but that seems atleast so far, unreacheable.
Is there any way for me to reach it? Maybe by letting the battery dry out and then plug the powered off phone with Volume -, or am i out of luck here? Im pretty sure this is caused by the stupid VBMeta checks XIAOMI phones has.

Vbmeta means Android Verified Boot.
Vbmeta is default for all android devices and it was made by Google.
It is not specific made by Xiaomi.
Android Verified Boot 2.0
https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/avb
What changes did you do when you fixed the app issue?

Couldn't do any, just tried to boot into recovery, then got into that bootlooop cycle, couldn't reach anything.
Managed to get into EDL and SP Flash Tool mode, however, im a bit confused on what i need to flash to get it back to life with stock MIUI or atleast boot to main system to use ADB.
My IMEI is fixed on the phone stickers so i can reasily recover that aswell, any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Now i just need help flashing as it seems, what do i need to do to properly re-flash / re-boot the phone without losing IMEI and that sorta stuff? I plan on switching back to Pixel Plus UI again so, it isn't an issue.
EDIT2: Completely fixed, followed VD's guide on EDL/Mediatek Bypass method and flashed a normal GLOBAL rom, all was fixed, no IMEI lost.

Question Redmi Note 10 Pro stuck in a boot loop

Today I left my phone in a cab and got it back in the evening. But after I got my phone it was stuck in a boot loop (after force restart - power button press and hold - it will go to battery icon and automatically restart after a few minutes and again goes to battery icon). Please see the video to understand the boot loop. Unfortunately, Developer options of the phone were not enabled.
Can boot to recovery but can boot to fastboot.
Can you please help me to boot my phone back to normal or sideload a ROM via adb.
tia

Was able to fix the issue. Followed below steps,
1. Kept phone until the battery fully drains
2. Plugged into the charger and charged the phone up to around 65% while the phone is switched off.
3. Switched on the phone when the cable is disconnected.
4. This time the phone was booted to recovery. No battery logo anymore
5. From recovery, rebooted the phone. But again it was booted to recovery.
6. Wiped all data and rebooted.
7. Phone was booted to MIUI os but had to set up the phone again from the beginning.

Same problem bro, did u resolve it???

I think your battery is empty. Leave it on power for a while and check if its charging. Maybe the charginglevel is too low for booting up.

I hope it was that simple ..it seems probably like a bad update. My gfs phone did the similar today
The digitizer stopped working, I force reset the phone and boom ..recovery mode - Trying everything but it doesn't work. Wipe surely would work but she has pictures and videos so I'm trying to avoid that. Plug it to charging but she remembers it had like 75% of battery ...geez (hoping for a miracle)
EDIT: Probably this happen from the bad xiaomi update, anyway I did wipe the data and as expected it work without an issue, I'll unlock this phone and ditch MIUI (I mean I did it to my phone Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S from day 1 - I hate miui) ..now my gf has a reason to hate it too

A factory reset could be painful, since you would lose everything on the device. I saw a guy tap all over the back of the phone with two fingers, and boom! The Redmi Note 10 Pro boot normally! I tried it on a friend's phone, and it worked.

Hello,I had a kind of a similar thing.
I left my phone to charge and when I was back it seems to be stuck in a boot loop(MIUI14)
Well,I tried to force restart but the same.
Before I go to recovery mode,accidently,I putted the phone in fastboot mode.I restarted it in the try to go to recovery mode but the phone started normally.After boot,it's shows an update compete message,so te problem was from an android security path update whatever.

I have important apps on the phone and I wasnt thinking about a factory reset anyway but hopefully it worked in that way
