bricked my Mi5 - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

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

By fastboot it's don't go in edl
help me pleas
If your are logged into your Mi Account on the phone you can do this: apply for the bootloader unlock code with that 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
Ehi, I know how to fix your phone.
I can link you an italian forum's thread, a guy had your same problem. You have to plug your phone to pc and press power button and vol+ button, your pc will recognize it correctly if you had installed drivers, even if your phone shuts down. Now you can enter in edl mode (maybe mi5 is already in it) and flash a rom with miflash.
Sorry for my English.

It should works with locked bootloader as you are flashing the stock image.

I had the same issue after I had relocked bootloader using command

When I noticed this strange behaviour, I switched to fastboot mode again (VolDown + Power) and unlocked bootloader again using MiUnlock tool for Windows and USB data cable. After that it my phone works again. No data was lost - everything remained as before.

VTR-L09 only boots to eRecovery and fastboot

Hi, my phone is currently stuck booting to erecovery and I can also get to fastboot, however it will not load android as normal. My bootloader is locked and the phone is unrooted. Does anyone know how I may be able to fix the problem? The device is a Huawei P10 VTR-L09 on EE in the UK.
Thanks
Edit: Can get my phone fixed through my network provider, thanks anyway
same problem, and over the past weeks i've been reading a lot about this issue.
in my case happened with an OTA update, now i have a brick....
and because i've never set usb debuggin or oem unlock, im unable to unlock the bootloader via fastboot, so no flashing full stock android to revive it :/
What does it do if you turn it off, then plug in a computer-connected usb cable whilst holding vol-down?

The phone enters "Fastboot and Rescue mode" but when I follow the instructions shown on screen, HiSuite says the device is not supported and to take it to a Huawei repair centre
Use firmware finder for pc and push an update via DNS, follow the instructions.
With that you will be able to update with eRecovery.

Need help (stuck on fastboot)

Hello,
I tried to install MIUI10 so I followed the tutorial. When I flashed I realized that I had checked the wrong case (clean all and lock instead of clean all) I panicked and unplugged my phone.
I only have access to the fastboot but pc no longer detects the phone I have a waiting device error
Your help will be appreciated.
Enter edl mode and try to flash stock rom with miflash.
Do not lock bootloader on custom rom, ever.

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.

Question Redmi Note 11S bricked with no way out?

Hi i just oficialy unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp recovery boot and restarted phone. After that restart, phone got stuck in loop rebooting to MI logo. Recovery and Fastboot not loading when i press right buttons. Phone just vibrate and keep restarting. I had to dry off battery to turn it off becouse when i connect phone to cable it auto turn on and start restarting. I tryed also unplug battery and flash it by other rom but connection with pc is broken when phone still restarting every 5s. Is there any chance to save this phone from scrap? Thank you

first let's go, download the fastboot stock version of the ROM then download Miflash, unzip the rom on your main disk twice, now on your cell phone you will press the power off button and at the same time the fastboot button (you must have messed up the file boot so it doesn't turn on) and play Miflash also on C disk, open Miflash on mobile in fastboot mode and select ROM folder don't forget to put the option to just clean and not lock, when the process is finished you wait for the phone to turn on

Thx but phone dont booting to fastboot mode so i cant flash boot.img i tryed now SP Flash too in linux and still same errors becouse phone disconecting too fast. I think technician service will be solution..
Dont use The daanm Sp flash Tool , Its for mediatek devices, USE Miflash, and Its impossible a phone dont boot in fastboot mode, try again, pls hold The button
I have both Mi flash and SP flash tool
Without fastboot you cant do much...
in Miflash it dont do anything even device it dont see on COM3
in SP flash too it react but with errors becouse of disconecting
phone dont boot right becouse both A and B boot images are corrupted.
Does your screen at boot turn red? I've done everything on my cell phone, several things have happened to me and not once did fastboot have a problem, because fastboot is a totally different place to boot, there is only this possibility if you used commands in adb to remove or do something in fastboot that made it useless, it's impossible to happen this in the way you said
yes i did adb commands in fastboot becouse i instaled recovery and this all happend after reboot
no problem doing things in adb, I said in the sense that you deleted fastboot in adb but that didn't happen by the way you said
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold the Power + Volume Down buttons together and immediately connect the device to the PC. You need to time it perfectly.
It will automatically boot into EDL mode, and LED lights may blink.
Download QPST Flash Tool and install your device's firmware using QFIL(comes included in QPST).
I suggest you to read everything about it online.

I tryed but not succes. It just booting every 5s nowhere. Cant get to EDL mode sorry. And correct turn off phone isnt possible i have to unplug battery flex cable but i also tryed. Only possible state where it dont restarting is when battery is unpluged and i connect phone on cable with pc and pressing volume down+power. But connection to COM3 is only 2s.
Well, in that case you need to short the test points on your motherboard and plug the phone into your PC at the same time.
Watch several videos related to it on YouTube first.
Wait, is your phone Redmi Note 11 or 11s?
I will try the point test. I have Redmin Note 11s.
Ahhhh...you posted it on Note 11 forum.
Can't help you mate. Things are more complicated in mediatek devices.
Still, this thread might help a little. Good luck.
