Hello everyone, just get frustrated right now my brand new 5X Half-Bricked after trying to flash stock fastboot firmware of the A1 through EDL with mi flash. just over excited of this devices, as i'm not a new one on this stuff and things, so that i ignoring some post said that the mi A1 rom won't run/boot compatible with 5X. (some interesting post right here about 3 Variants Hacked Bootloader http://en.miui.com/thread-840402-1-1.html)
I put whole things needed togather (fastboot firmware of A1, and Mi5X, also Twrp and some of unbrick zip from the thread above) so i was thinking when everythings gone crazy and bad i just need to reverting back to stock fastboot firmware of MI5X and everything works fine.
i do backup my QCN file so the worst thing i losted the imei and baseband i just need to restore that backup. Then i start the stupid things with proud.
flashing the Mi A1 sucessfully without any error on mi-flash then power it on boom, as i predicted it won't be as easier and simple as that step. some error text appeared on my screen some related to bootloader things, okay i just go into fastboot and unlocking with type "fastboot oem unlock" done with success and thats also said in terminal. okay then i rebooted (no panic at all), so the warning text still, then appeared your system has been destroyed, okay than i put the mi A1 recovery and flashing that through the fastboot, its said error no such partitions "recovery"??? (bit panic here) but trying to type "fastboot boot tissot.img" (tissot the codename of A1) its boot and send me into recovery, flashing some A1 rom for 5X from xda still won't boot at all (start panic here ).
so everything i try here flashing stock miui also won;t even boot and see the homescreen. I give up and OK i just need to flash the stock 5X through EDL, rebooting to edl and then flashing the stock 5X and success flashing done without any error, so i rebooted but its only stuck at MI logo then restart itself (really PANIC), so i get into recovery (stock MIUI) and mybe wiping whole data and cache will help, but there's no changes still restart/rebooting itself , okay i need to flash again this time i downloding Develover versions, and put the devices into edl through test point this time (as now the bootloader are relocked after flashing the stock one).
after flasing done the device still won't even boot at all just stuck at MI logo, now i really need help anyone any advices will really help, thanks

I think you should not unlock the bootloader using the command fast boot OEM unlock,you should go to http://en.miui.com/unlock/ here and download the app to unlock it, and when you flash a new rom which is not miui,you must keep it unlock,do not fastboot OEM lock,that will cause it can not go into system and stuck in logo

Nope, that's the basic things and i really know how it works, As for now i''ve no ways to go / reach the homescreen at all, so i can't put my mi account in setting and linked the device into my acccount, its useless using the miunlock tools. And i can only do that commands right after i converted mine to A1 firmwares.
hi, finally, i know what problem you met, because i have met the same problem, the solution is ,you go to the fastboot ,first unlock the devices, then fastboot reboot,then you find you go to the system, then you go back to fastboot,and last ,you need to use the miflash to flash the rom,and it should work fine now,it seem when you are locked,the miflash can not really work
Last news, damn lucky bastard i'am got replaced units, lets see does we'll have some aosp goodies soon..

Use the mi unlock tool ,you can only unlock the phone when you are in fastboot mode,,turn off the phone,press the power and volume down bottom simultaneously,and you will be in fastboot mode
My Xiaomi Mi5 which has the misfortune of getting into BOOTLOOP
Here's some info regarding the device:
1. The bootloader is locked.
2. I forgot the assigned MI account
3. Developer mode is NOT on
4. USB debugging is NOT on
5. I can get into fastboot and recovery mode
6. I have tried using Chinese mi pc suite to flash a new rom, but it doesn't work
7. I have no further info regarding this device
Is there anyone out there who can help this poor soul? Is there any complete guide to fix this situation?
The only thing you can do in a situation like that is flash a MiUI ROM using Mi Flash, try uing EDL. You can enter it with fastboot oem edl
But even if the device does boot up you'll still face a lock requiring the original mi account login and password to unlock the phone.
flash official miui fastboot rom. something like this

no need of bootloader unlock, no need any debugging setting, it will be easily recoverable.
Hi Guys,
yesterday I was able to unlock my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro bootloader after waiting for 7 days. The unlock was successfull at first attempt, but now my issues begin and I couldnt find a thread where someone has similar isseues.
1. after unlocking the bootloader, I booted to fastboot mode and flashed twrp (from a greek xiaomi forum website ) after that I tried to boot into recovery. The attempt was unsuccessfull and I got the Mi-Logo Screen with the unlocked message at the bottom, after 60 sec the screen goes black and nothing happens, only fastboot mode is working.
2. flashed back to stock recovery -> the phone boots up successfully and is working.
3. Used the Miflash 2017.4.25.0 Tool to flash fastboot rom to have an untouched condition (clean all option).
4. tried to flash another twrp (from wzsx150), same behavior like in 1. explained. Flashing back stock recovery -> phone boots and is working.
5. again used Miflash to have an untouched condition, tried another twrp (By mauronofrio)
5. same behaviour like in 1. explained...
I actually got a Mi 8 Pro and it was so easy for me to flash twrp (also unoffical builds like now for the 9t pro). Switching to different intel laptops with win7 or win10 didnt solve the problem. Changing USB Type C cabels also didnt help
Can someone explain why I'm not getting things to work, as there are already other members which did it successfully...
Try this...
1. flash TWRP
2. Reboot directly from fastboot into TWRP with volume + and power button
3. Flash TWRP.img with TWRP
Problem solved
Kollachi, thanks for the suggestion but didnt work either.
I found a solution by myself I ordered the xiaomi from amazon DE and it was shipped with global stable, why not EEA? I always used the global stable fastboot rom to start from zero, like mentioned, without success.
The solution was flash eea fastboot rom -> twrp installation worked at first attempt and still works! Interesting that this helped me to solve this..
So, i got a second hand mi 5 last week. Seller told me that it had software issue and I thought I could fix it. Because it was really cheap.
The device was stuck on bootloop when I had it. But I was able to open mi recovery and fast boot menus. i tried many options to flash a stable stock rom. The most useful one was to flash via XiaomiTool v2. It says successfully flashed and reboots but stuck on bootloop every time. (Tried few times already).
the bootloader is locked and no mi accounts binded to the device. Computer detects the device successfully.
I tried adb commands as well, but since bootloader is locked i couldn't get any further to flash or wipe.
Any useful suggestions?
Can you still access to fastboot mode?
If so, you need fastboot oem unlock to unlock bootloader first, before anything else.
After successfully installing MIUI EU and using it just fine, I then attempted to lock the bootloader as the phone is going back tomorrow for a screen repair. Upon using the command fastboot oem lock in fastboot mode, the bootloader was locked, but I am now in a bootloop returning me to the fastboot screen no matter what I try. WIth my bootloader locked adb does nothing and same with most fastboot commands. Whenever I try to reboot my device regularly or while using any combination of volume buttons, it shows the MIUI boot screen then straight back to fastboot and repeat.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Strange idea to want lock bootloader for repair a screen. Even if you must send to Xiaomi warrantly center / agreed shop, unlock bootloader do not cancel the warrantly. Only desimlock is forbidden.
You must lock your bootloader only from your native official/legit ROM (EEA or Global or CN, etc), but never from a custom MIUI or AOSP because these roms have need to have bootloader unlocked for working.
For now you must
1- using Mi Unlock and Unlock again your device, like the first time (from waiting unlock period) but you will lose all your data, data partition (internal) is wiped.
2- using MiFlash for flash the lastest MIUI fastboot legit rom from your device (EEA ? Global ? CN ?) and be careful , by default (on the bottom right) app install / erase and lock bootloader, choose install / no lock.
I managed to fix it by using Mi Unlock with my sim in another phone for verification, I was just worried I would be faced with the wait again. Thanks.

No problem, as soon as you have unlock with success your bootloader the first time, you do not have period unlock anymore
