Hello everyone ... I have a xiaomi mi5 in bootloop.
- Initial ROM fake seller (learned later)
- I tried to update with MiPcSuite and is now in bootloop.
- I DO NOT unlocked bootloader
- I did NOT access Xiaomi account on mi5 (so I can not unlock it now even if I have permission from Xiomi)
- First of all, I activated the "developer mode" and "USB debugging".
- I can only enter Fastboot mode
-I Can not use the recovery mode
- I can not get into EDL in any way: no adb, no tool here (with the tool says restarting EDL success but restarts and reappears MIUI logo, does not turn on the red light and nothing appears in the device manager)
Thank you
Try to wipe system and install
1. Go to fast boot.
2. Wipe all partitions
Code:
> fastboot erase boot
> fastboot erase recovery
> fastboot erase system -w
flash fresh fastboot image from Mi
Code:
>fastboot flash system <image name>
It works? It has already been tested? I could not find any other guide that told you to do this ... I will not say that I do not trust this, but I want to do other s-h-i-t! I remember that I have the bootloader locked, and I can not go to EDL mode ... thank's
Not sure you are allowed to run the flash command when you're on locked bootloader. I'd try it without erasing, since flashing overwrites the partition in question anyway.
I have experience like you... Get bootloop.
But when I wipe/erase all of internal memory through Mi PCSuite China version, it's boot normally and MiUI8 started.
I tried the same method to apply the official china stable rom on my friend Mi5, it's bootloop... Then when I wipe all, it's boot normally.
Hope this will help you...

I think 3rd button..
You can get help from Google translate app.
Take photo from Google Translate then translate to your language.
Use the Chinese mi pcsuite if the English one doesn't recognize the phone. I am not sure if you cannot enter in any form of recovery you have luck with that though.
Fastboot and miflash that was suggested will not work with locked bootloader.
Your best and last bet is to use EDL mode. The issue with Mi5 is that it doesn't go easily in EDL mode. not with key combo at least. Have you tried this? https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292. Otherwise, check for deep flash cable or make one yourself.
in lineage's Usermanual it says after a few steps:
Hold Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously. Continue to hold both buttons until the “MI” logo appears on the screen, then release.
I get only fastboot-image nothing else.
i did the following comands:
> fastboot erase boot
> fastboot erase recovery
> fastboot erase system -w
>fastboot flash recovery recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-gemini.img
Both Power and + or Power and - : Same result: Fastboot.
I had unlocked the phone and usb-debugging was enabled.
I do use Linux by the way
Hey, did you solve it? I have same problem and I'm desperate
No I didn't solve the problem. I realized that I completely was wrong. I had an Xiaomi Mi 5c in stead of Xiaomi Mi 5.
I finally was able to flash it because I choses the wrong Recovery and Rom.
Then I sold it and bought a Xiaomi Mi 5 which I wanted because it is supported by lineageos...

Hahahah what a story man, I fear I didn't choose the wrong Rom and I have a good brick :') Lineageos is just amazing, have fun!
.....And anyway, in the end I had solved it with a home-made EDL cable 3 years ago ???...and my Mi5 is still alive in my hands 3 years after ?
I had forgotten this thread
I hope you can now sleep well again at night now that you know that everything went well ?

Hello,
I have hard bricked my Mi 8 doing that :
1. install TWRP 3.2.1 (successfull)
2. backup of original phone setup (everything was checked)
3. trying to flash xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 (latest realease)
4. booting (unsuccessfull, not bootloop but after MI android logo doesn't boot up)
5. so i decided to restore my backup (just data unchecked)
6. press reboot (and it didn't reboot)
The actual situation :
When i try to press the power button the phone doesn't boot, If i try to go into recovery mode it doesn't boot and same for fastboot mode.
The screen is unresponsive (no backlight) and it doesn't vibrate. When i connect the phone to my computer it is automatically recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5) which correspond to the EDL mode (i think).
I tried :
1. miflash (using 2 different fastboot china dev rom found on the XDA recovery post for mi 8) --> the mi 8 is automatically recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5) without using deepflash cable or pressing any button and I got an error : "ERROR: Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication."
EDIT : I updated my Miflash tool and now i have to connect to my Mi account BUT i have to be EDL authorized by Xiaomi to flash repair my phone
2. deepflash cable (but it changes nothing)
3. mi flash pro : it open miflashtool
4. mi pc suite : nothing
I don't understand why it is bricked considering i just restored a working setup but it the most hard brick i have ever seen.
If someone can help me or suggest an option i'll give it a try and keep you updated.
EDIT : i understand now , it is due to the Anti-Rollback system that xiaomi implemented in their rom (we can't downgrade) + the necessity to have an EDL authorized account
Thanks you
PS : i can post MiFlash log if it can help
And with mi pcsuite?

Didn't try it but i was thinking this software wasn't updated since 2015. I just see right now that the 3.2 beta is released and Mi 8 is supported.
Thanks for that, i'll give it a try tomorrow as i can't do this that night.
I'll keep you updated.
Did you format data, your backup... Was it global or chinese?

My initial ROM was the vendor rom (Mi global store on aliexpress) and i think it is a fake "official global rom" on MIUI 9.5 so a modified chinese rom.
The xiaomi.eu ROM was the MIUI 10 8.7.26 for Mi 8.
Before every flash (or restoration) of ROM I format DATA, CACHE and DALVIK.
btw i didn't format data, cache and dalvik after the restoration. I just press the reboot option of TWRP and it never booted again.
Omg. I'm afraid. My mi8 came with global 9.5 china (in facto it's chinese version) and i've put MIUI 10 beta 8.7.12. In 1 week I'll be able to unlock it and put global rom (my language is portuguese). But after reading this, i'm not motivated. Sad. Hope you'll can fix It. Crossed fingers here!

Yeah it is weird... that's the first time i see such a problem on an android (and Xiaomi device).
Actually you can flash TWRP (I suggest v3.2.1) without any problem but backup/restore didn't worked for me and flash xiaomi.eu didn't worked (but it didn't bricked my mi 8).
EDIT : I have some "news" but i'm not sure about that. I think there is something about the anti-rollback system : as i flashed MIUI 10 and restored back to MIUI 9.5 (downgrade) it activated the ARB system and hard bricked my phone (maybe).
I checked others forum and a guy named MyReghalia on en.miui.com forums have EXACTLY the same problem as me and he didn't figured it out with that problem.
BTW maybe with an EDL authorized account i'll be able to flash via Miflash but find someone who has an authorized EDL Mi account to borrow or EDL authorize my account is an other problem....
Did u flash the right recovery.img on the mi8?if so what partitions u restore?faulty recovery?....is weird i have never see ql9008 mode unless the recovery is broken and restore an partiton in the wrong slot
You need to try the EDL method

Yep, i flashed the v3.2.1 -0611- for Mi 8 availible on the XDA forums. It worked and i had access to the custom recovery.
When I backuped/restored I checked all the options availible and didn't touch anything about partitions. Maybe it is a faulty recovery but actually i have some clues because, IMO also it is weird that my device is automatically recognized as ql9008 mode. (BTW it seems to be a well known problem on redmi note 5/pro)
I checked on diverse forums and there is the ARB (Anti-RollBack system) that xiaomi put inside their rom and doesn't allow to downgrade android version or miui firmware unless a brick occurs. The only way I found to get back my phone is to contact xiaomi repair services and asked them to repair my phone because they have authorized EDL mi account (it is something pretty new, before we had acces to flash in EDL mode without account, now it is regulated by xiaomi....)

Thanks you but actually i don't need to do the test point method because my phone is already and automatically in EDL emergency mode.
BTW it is the good way to do it but unfortunately i don't have any EDL auth account...
With everything i read on different forums i'm pretty sure that rom development will be extremely difficult until a way is found to get around this ARB system and EDL authorization account that doesn't allow to repair our bricked xiaomi phone.
Very bad they ask for an account even with emergency EDL repairs.
Hello, my mi8 I have it more than a month ago and came with the Chinese ROM, then update from the phone to MIUI 10 Chinese beta, then using Miflash to rom.eu MIUI 10 and then again through Miflash to the last global 9.5.14.0 and I have not had any problem PPR what I think At least in my case that Xiaomi has not activated the Antirollback in the Mi8, forgive my English, greetings
---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------
Ahhh I forgot, before doing all that had unlocked the bottloader through Miunloock and the last ROM that had flashed the global I forgot to unmark that blocked the device and the phone was in Bootloop, so I went back to unlock the bootloader and Ripped smoothly

There are only 2 ways to bring back to life the MI8 with brick
1.-Xiaomi Authorized Account (Miflash)
2.-Latest version of China stable in my case I need the 9.5.14.0 and there is only the 9.5.11.0 for Flash by Mipcsuite 3.0 China
(Mipcsuite 3.0 Chinese version allows flash with blocked bootloader)

Mipcsuite does not allow flashing via EDL.
I have the same issue before and I got the solution form miuieu forum.
After installing miui 10 from miuieu, you need to format data. Then bring up to home screen successfully.
Hi ,
Actually the only way to get back a hard-bricked Mi8 ( no fastboot , no recovery) is through MiflashTool with an EDL authorized account , there isn't any way to do this because MiPcsuite doesn't recognize an hard bricked device.
By the way it seems that this problem is not well known on XDA forum I strongely invite you to speak about that on these forums (BE AWARE) and to take a look at xiaomi forum, where it seems a bigger problem than here (a LOT of people, from India , China and everywhere around the world are in the same boat...).
The problem begun with the note 5/pro (you will find more about that on this device's forums)
Also, i returned back my Mi8 because of the xiaomi's politics about the liberty to self repair (software) our phone and i get to oneplus which allows us to do whatever we want...
Good Luck and peace

The situation is that I just bought the K20 Pro. Then i unlock and flash by miflash with Global Rom via this thread then the device has bricked and has the message "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
Tried boot into recovery but the TWRP has gone and the bootloader has been locked.
Flash back to China Rom by miflash is doesn't work either, help me please, i don't know what to do now, i tried every thing i can.

Miflash only works on an unlocked bootloader. It appears that you have a Chinese Model and you just did what was supposed to be avoided. You should get accustomed to Miflash moving forward. Never use Flash_All_Lock while cross flashing China/Global roms. You'll have to wait to unlock your Bootloader now and post that flash the China rom to get back. If any time you wish to move to the India rom, either use a twrp recovery or just use Flash_All while using the fastboot image which should eventually avoid locking the bootloader

1. if you can still enter fastboot mode, there is a possibility that you can do TWRP flashing again (the TWRP version must be correct so that the data on the cellphone can be read properly) / Flashing from the PC (if you are lucky, the flashing will work properly without any problem or you can bypass the bootloader locked using software or something else). [make sure ROM version must be appropriate because this is very crucial]
2. You can try using the test point method (EDL / Emergency Download Mode) [This method is usually used if your K20Pro is constrained by Hardbrick due to ARB4] , but this method requires you to open the case / body behind your K20Pro. and I cannot guarantee that the flashing process will succeed easily because in some cases if the K20Pro is detected damage / error due to ARB4, then you are required to have an Authorized Mi Account. I might be able to help you remotely, if you agree with the risks & requirements in the flashing process (I can lend my account, but it's not free).
Hi All, I did the same thing - whoever build the UI for MiFlash should be shot - why default that selection to something that will be undesirable!!?
Anyway, i tried to flash indian rom and forgot to set to Clean All, it locked the bootloader.
So i now have redmi recovery and Fastboot options only on phone.
Have tried fastboot + miflash but all options (now with Chinese rom) - says Erase Boot Error.
Tried MiAssistant + Mi PC Suite - it is not detecting the phone in either MiAssistant recovery mode nor Fastboot mode. what is weird is the phone and connector animation on phone is correctly depicting when it is plugged in/unplugged. But the PC suite isnt detecting the device.
Soft bricked - *sigh.... any help will be greatly appreciated from the community
BTW i am more worried that the phone will run out of battery and never wake up once battery drains completely as it is in bootloop into Redmi recovery and can't be turned off (someone tell me how!?) - I don't see the phone respond to charging in any state... : (
Can you still reach fastboot? If so you can unlock phone again and flash TWRP using ADB. After that boot straight into TWRP and connect it to your computer, internal SD storage should then automatically mount. Drag and drop ROM .zip into internal storage, use TWRP file manager to move it out of the data folder and do a default wipe using TWRP. Then flash .zip ROM (for example xiaomi.eu stable) and you should be back in business. Please let me know if you need any files like working recovery image and further instructions.
I had some trouble with my TWRP recovery yesterday, flashed it on unlocked bootloader with Chinese stable ROM installed, on reboot out of fastboot it boots straight into ROM and overwrites the TWRP recovery with default recovery. I fixed it by flashing recovery again, boot straight into it and flash xiaomi.eu stable, now recovery is TWRP and does not get overwritten.

You're probably going to have to open up the phone and pay $20 for someone to use their authorised account to flash an official ROM whilst remoting in to your PC.

Some great ideas - Just tried to unlock bootloader - This device came pre-unlocked so the device is tied to the seller's account.
I have unlock permission - but unlocker say device is not bound to my account matching my assumptions - anyone know what's the best way to re-claim ownership? Especially when I can't get into ROM at all?

My comment was meant for OP but I hoped it would help you as well! I am personally not well informed about the Xiaomi / Redmi ownership situation when the seller unlocked the phone.. maybe you can contact them and get a corresponding password to the account, it has been the solution I have seen offered here. Maybe the emergency flash solution from Robbo.5000 works?
I just got this phone a week now and was only able to unlock and flash yesterday, I was aware of the ownership problem thanks to this forum so I bought the sealed CN version. Hope you figure it out!
Thanks guys. I am going for the Test Point solution - have made contact with the Russian tech the others did and made an appointment. I just have to pretend to be Jerry Rig before then and open her up! Fingers crossed!

You need yo flash magisk after you flash twrp if you want to run regular miui, to prevent it from overwriting the recovery. Its the same on poco and all xiaomi phones

I'm in EDL for about two weeks now, unable to solve it by different means (seller sais 'send it back', which I'm not goong to do; S-unlock has the service unavailable, even though I've paid them and the guy I contacted there tried through TW to no avail, waiting for a 'money back' now)..
Hi folks.
It seems there's not much info about the phone.
That is why let's share any useful information regarding it.
What I have found so far:
ColorOS recovery - start the phone with "Vol Down" + "Power" buttons
Qualcomm Download mode (QDL mode, 9008) - from ColorOS recovery tap a few times recovery version line.
For now I did not succeed in booting into fastboot mode. It immediately reboots into system
EDIT. 3 taps on Version string bring QDL mode (see the attachment). After first tap string turns green.

Hi. Bootloader not unlock now. Because you can't boot to fastboot.
New version came out today - RMX1991_11_A.11
Yea, a new version came out, dark mode is included now, security level is October 5th. The list of the changes is quite long (see it attached if interested). The shot of the update process is attached too. What "realme Lab" means is in the attachment too.

The OEM option is present, see the attachment.
The second part of the statement about adb is not clear.
If you mean adb reboot bootloader, it does not help either. The phone boots into fastboot mode and immediately (in about half a second) reboots to system.
adb starts working only if File Transfer is enabled after USB cable is connected.

The phone stays in fastboot mode for 0.6 sec
The text I see is
已进入Fastboot
长按电源键6〜10秒或重装电池退出
What means
You entered Fastboot
Press and hold power button for 6 - 10 seconds or reload battery to exit
Is there any way to stop there?

The text I see is
已进入Fastboot
长按电源键6〜10秒或重装电池退出
What means
You entered Fastboot
Press and hold power button for 6 - 10 seconds or reload battery to exit

It's good. But where is tools for it?
Some sort of test in recovery
ColorOS recovery, tap recovery version line 10 times, a prompt pops up about nearly 30-minute test. What kind of test I do not know. It took about 17 minutes. See the shots attached.
Also it is not clear to me when tapping on recovery version line initiate QDL mode, when this test?
Installation attempt for Euro version of software
There are two documented ways to install a downloaded ROM file: from inside ColorOS (tap *.ozip from built-in file browser; boot recovery and initiate installation from there). Both fail, but the second one gives interesting result (see the shot attached; native and alien=euro files are both visible).
Realy frustating. I guess it will neuer come because of OPPO. 5 Pro can do, eventuell x2 pro can do.
The bootloader looks different to x2 pro and 5 Pro.
With the Test lap apk you will get in touch with OPPO.
What exactly the app is Ding i dont know.
I look inside the smali code but iam not a coder.
I guess we download a new Bootloader Image and install it.
Could someone from you post some files for me?
/sbin/recovery
Second one
adb pull /vendor/lib64/libapplypatch_jni.so
Have you got CN or global devices?

So, you directly tried to switch from Chinese to Global rom by using recovery! Have you succeeded yet?
I want to change my rom to global to...
Plzzz help
FYI
It seems (at least once it worked to me, though it seems quite strange) the language mix in stock recovery may be solved by format userdata in recovery.
Iam trying to unlock the EU Device 1993.
I dont think this will work.
Only China devices 1991 will work.

They have limit like 1000 unlocks per month or something like this... May it be the reason?

How to solve problems
Today I wanted to upload Miui 13. I was uploading rom via MiFlashPro. After starting the phone's rom, it turns on all the time, displayed on the redmi logo, the moment at the beginning of the seconds bar, pixelated white after sharing, after three phones it restarts and from the beginning the redmi logo and the white bar pixel. the phone cannot be started in the mode recovery and fastboot. What can I do to save my phone? I am sorry for the mistakes, I use a translator

How to Fix Your Hard Bricked Xiaomi Phone With Locked Bootloader
If you are familiar with custom ROM or flashing your phone, then there's a possibility that you have tried flashing your Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO Phone. Earlier
gadgetstouse.com
Download the phone firmware from here:
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
you have flashed the china version (or a version for another devices, sure not camellian). cause global fastboot version is not yet online. only recovery. you can install only via ota or twrp.

best fix is use brain before flash a rom. try with miflash pro. mtk tool is included. if pc detect device into fastboot mode or recovery you shold be able to tefladh stock firmware. otherwise only solution is assistance service. cause phone must be open

if phone can enter in fastboot mode, is not necessary enter in meta mode. and try to explain to a user that didn't understand how flash stock rom with miflash, what are meta mode sp flash tool, scatter file... is a mission impossible

there are times where it does not work well or gives an error or the package if it is inferior does not let you flash in assistance / fastboot mode if the Boot is not unlocked, I accidentally ruined my redmi note 10 5g and they gave me Another to Play and I managed to know things nobody explains many things to you, that is if even deleting bricked the imei you can recover the second
