Xiaomi Mi5 Bootloop, no recovery mode, no edl mode, only fastboot

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...

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 ?
Goodbye

use option 5 then select the second option
it will boot the device into edl mode.
if you have issues with it not letting you enter it with this then try to unlock the bootloader again.

[MI A2] Stuck at Bootloop

I tried to flash Miui 9 on my Mi A2 with this install guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/miui-10-install-guide-t3844729). But when i flashed Miui 9 MiFlash showed me it was succesful, but now I´m stuck at the MI Logo and cant go in fastboot mode. Also i think I can´t go in EDL-Mode because when i try to short the test points nothing happens. So neither MiFlash or Fastboot is recognizing my phone. What can I try?

Phone got bricked randomly - QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 (NEED HELP)

I was using my mi a2 and it randomly freezed, then i restarted using power button, but he didn't turned on, now it is just black screen and i can't get into bootloader mode or turn the phone on.
Bootloader was locked, never tried to unlock.

Already tried to use mi flash tool to flash the last ROM, it recognize the phone but fails every time.
Neither adb or fastboot recognizes the phone.
Some errors that i had using the tool:

Cannot receive hello packet (when i get this error, i hold the power button for a few seconds then i try again only to get the error below)

A year ago i had the same issue kinda. The only thing that worked for me was flashing mi 6x stock rom and after some trial an error it flashed and it fixed. The only problem is i have a mi 6x forever. Basically download mi 6x stock rom. Try that mi flash tool and keep hard rebooting and click flash button right after it vibrates. If lucky sometime will work and flash. If nothing try older versions of mi flash tool. Good luck.

all of you have the same problem ... you bootloop into edl mode because you have ARB4 triggered ..that means the only stock you can flash in miflash is ARB4 rom ( latest most up to date )
you also need patched programmer file since flashing ARB4 requires miui account
the fix to this problem is documented everywhere and explained lots of times ...just read ..follow this guide and one-click tool to unbrick
next time read ......a little ..

mi 8 not booting

I have my friends Xiaomi mi 8. It keeps freezing on the miui screen when booting up. It simply won't boot up. The bootloader is locked and I've tried everything. I've tried flashing new firmware via fastboot I've tried flashing twrp and orange fox I've even tried tried flashing pixel experience but the bootloader doesn't allow it. I've downloaded the XiaoMitool v2 and mi flash tool but nothing is working. When I boot to recovery and try to wipe data it just gives an error saying it's failed. I tried using the edl boot bat file and when it reboots to edl it just restarts and freezes on miui. ive tried edl from the back pins on the phone but the computer isnt recognising it and ive got the qualcom drivers installed but still no luck. Also when I try flashing miui fastboot firmware the program gives an error saying something about the flash script. Is there anything I can do to fix it or to atleast unlock the bootloader remotely without the need of the phone being turned on? ive heard of the msm tool but i coulnt find anything for the mi 8 only oneplus. Any help is appreciated thanks!
