Database Develop

bricked my Mi5

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

Help..Error Mode:No Recovery image,Load failed ( no fastboot )

Hi, I have P10 VTRL09 .. A couple days ago i did relock bootloader and now i can not enter my phone.it stuck at Error mode.
I tried almost every method but it always comes back to error mode. I discharge the batterry and charge, if I am lucky, sometimes it will boot into the system but it will black out. I can not do anything except turn off, but while it was in this stage, i could connect to pc and get detected. pc try to install MTP driver but it also failed. I tried command in adb, it also failed (waiting for devices) ....
Issues :
1.boot loader locked
2.no recovery ( can not be load )
3.can not enter fastboot
4.can not force update
5.PC not detect
Question : Is there a way to make my phone go to fastboot ? so i can relock bootloader with adb and flash new firmware.
i appreciate all the help...please help me.

I have exactly the same issue. With identical error codes. Still trying to work out a solution.
on the Huawei website, the had a bootloader.img installer for older models but none for the p10/ p10 plus
Any advice would be appreciated

Let phone completely discharge even it power off automatically. Then put the phone on the charging it will boot up to system then go to settings >advanced settings>back up&reset> reset all settings

when it boot i cant see anything except black . i can only turn off or volume.

Connect with pc and press power and vol-
It should boot into fastboot. You got the error cause wrong or broken recovery.

Hi, I was having the same problem. Mate 8 EMUI 8.
After looking everywhere and trying all the options available, I wasnt able to resolve.
Finally, I tried FunkyHuawei and got my system back through eRecovery.
Gave them the readings like version no. , build no...etc through fastboot. The required info is on their site. They then reverted with a link of the firmware which I flashed through their FuHunbrick tool. It force updates the entire full last version.
After flashing and booting, the system didnt boot but was able to go to eRecovery and restored my previous version.
If you or anyone else stuck at this error, they can try at their own risk as they dont guarantee anything.
Edit: you should and will be able to boot into fastboot once the battery is totally down and phone shuts off completely. Just press volume down button and insert usb. Try again and again if it doesnt work first time.
Thanks.

Help
First sorry for my English
I have a similar issue:
Huawei P10 Lite
I managed to install TWRP, but when I did that I lost the OTA upgrades, then I tried to install the stock recovery and then the phone doesn't start. It just stay on the first screen (the one with the Huawei logo) and it gets hot as hell. The combination of keys doesn't work, the power key just reboot and gets back to the logo screen. I need your help guys, the phone is 3 month old. Thanks

Hi, let the phone battery dry out totally first. Totally. It should not vibrate at all when you press power button. Leave for a couple of hours more.
Then recharge to 50℅ or more and restart and see if you get to eRecovery or other options.
Are you getting any error screen after logo?
You will definitely get to fastboot by pressing volume down button and inserting usb. Try again n again.

Hi. I did the battery part and the part of the pressing the vol - is and connecting to pc. It started but didn't got into fastboot or bootloader, just turned on normally and then I ran the adb command "adb reboot recovery" and I had to do the battery part again. I am afraid to run "adb reboot bootloader" because the risks of the draining out the battery. I mean my phone does not enter into recovery.

Lg g6 bootloop i cant do anything

Hi guys !
We had unlocked the bootloader and after that, had installed twrp but it didn't start in a few attempts. The "Your software cannot be checked for corruption" screen appeared. I had read somewhere that it's just a warning about the risk of installing custom OS and I just should go factory reset, so I did (and that was a stupid idea, I know). And then the bootloop started to happen. My PC can't see my phone and I can't turn it off in any way

To turn it off just hold the power button... while its bootlooping, it will shutdown. Connect the phone to the pc and enter the bootloader. type fastboot devices, if the pc sees it with a question mark but cannot apply the driver, download the bootloader interface driver and set it manually, now retype fastboot devices and your pc will see it in fastboot, after that, reflash twrp or your recovery of choice, wipe all, format data and install your rom of choice.

I am having a similar issue after flashing the TWRP image - phone when into boot loop - resetting did not help. Now, it continues to reboot at the LG logo.
I was able to get it into the fastboot menu (once in like 50 times) - but am unsure of how to repeat the steps (to get it into fast boot)
Can you list the steps, and at what time do you press the vol- button, and when to connect USB cable?
Many thanks in advance

Hey! Don't lose your hope yet. I managed to fix my phone!
So first of all just to be clear - my problem was that after trying to flash ROM using Custom Recovery (in my case it was OrangeFox Recovery) my phone was stuck in bootloop and it did turn on by itself after forcing shut down.
What I did to fix it:
1. I've waited for battery to discharge
2. I've downloaded and installed on my PC:
- LG UPPERCUT - Download here - XDA
- LG Mobile Drivers - Download here - LG.COM
- Android Fastboot Drivers (not necessary needed but i wanted them just to be sure) - Download here - drive.google.com
3. After that I went to search for stock KDZ for my model and my region here (lg-firmwares.com)
4. When everything was downloaded and installed I took my phone and while holding Vol+ I've connected USB cable to my phone (make sure the second part is connected to PC before pluging in to phone) and after few seconds my phone booted into Download Mode
5. Now you need to run LG UPPERCUT - if your phone is listed in upper list then you good to go and if not, check your drivers and errors in Device Manager - select your KDZ in "BIN File", change checkbox from "REFUBRISH" to "UPGRADE", click "Start" and wait.
Your phone will reboot few times but after hitting 100% in Uppercut it will take 2-5 min and boot to stock OS!

Question Blackscreen loop booting

Hi,
I'm stuck with my phone: it still loopbooting every 5seconds, black screen, only retrolight.
Bootloader is unlocked. I wanted to install twrp, but fastboot says partition recovery not existing.
After reboot, i'm stuck with this mod.
Try to press volume - to go again in fastboot : phone is detected by computer, then disconnected because it's rebooting.
Do you have a solution to try for me?
Or what are EDL point? I've tried to make an ELD cable but did not work either.

How long is your bootloader keeps active? If it's about 5 - 10 seconds, you can try paste the command to flash stock recovery. I attached it if it's possible to do so (from the latest global). And by the way - THERE IS STILL NO ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY for our device, sadly. Actually there is some, but only mouse works.
The commands to paste:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img

Boot.img in this case, doesn't make much difference

Sorry but my bootloader don't stay active long enough. I just ear usb detection from PC , then one seconde later, usb disconnection sound.
Phone is still loop booting.

Can you try then pasting "fastboot oem edl" (emergency download mode). The screen should turn black

After that flash with Xiaomi Flash tool

I'm unable to enter in FastBoot mode.
Phone booting black, and every 5 seconds , reboot.
If i push "volume down " button, i hear it vibrate, but nothing. Reboot and not detected by fastboot.exe
I think i have, with all manipulation , relocked the bootloader.
My only way, will to find a way to boot in EDL mode.

Test points, which are unknown so far. You have to disassemble the phone, tho. And you can try to find these points yourself, at your own risk obviously. If you will succeed, pls tell me. We need to know the test points.

I was exactly in same trouble, use This guide that solve the issue.

Question Can't boot into anything, only shows charging screen then turns itself off after. PLEASE HELP ME! How do I fix this???

Yesterday I unlocked my phone with the official Xiaomi unlock tool, Then it wiped everything, after setting my phone up, I flashed TWRP (not for my device but for redmi k20, I thought 9T and K20 is the same) and now I'm stuck on fastboot, I tried power button + volume buttons but still stuck on fastboot, I tried adb but still stuck, I tried Reiboot for Android but still stuck. So I used XiaoMiTool V2 (unofficial) and selected 'my device is bricked' then it asked me to select what device am I using, I selected k20 bc I thought it's the same with redmi power, after downloading a rom for an hour, it tries to install but fails because it detects that it's not k20, so I closed it and rebooted my device, now my device only shows the charging battery icon, can't boot into fastboot, can't boot into anything, PC can't detect my phone including adb. Please help me (for free), I really need your help. Thanks!

Your mistake was booting a wrong twrp and then a wrong fastboot rom. You could have saved your device when it was in fastboot mod by flashing an official fastboot rom for your device. But now your device seems hopeless. I think you have no option but to send it to a service center.

In this Case, buy only from Trusted Places! Or Learn how to Flash properly.

If the bootloader is unlocked...
Flash vbmeta.img
Then flash the suitable recovery for 9 power... It might boot to recovery then
