Can't enter recovery or wipe Mi5 - Help... - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi.
I bought a MI5 today...it was a "used" one...because it was on the hands of a friend for a day or two.
I know that the ROM that is installed is not an official one, becaus it has Portuguese, and the official one only has English and Chinese...and the GLOBAL ROM has Brasilian...and not Portuguese.
I tried to reset the device but...that didn't work out very well. It cleans some things but does not wipe completely the device. It even boots normally to the home screen.
If I try to enter recovery, the phone turns off as soon as the MI logo turns on.
What do you all sugest me to do?

The security got improved, there is a new recovery.
You can reset from settings, so that's fine. Make sure that your MIUI Account is logged in.

Problem after installing cyanogenmod recovery image

Hello,
I managed to install the CyanogenMOD recovery image through flashrecc 090909.
I wiped all the data and following another tutorial I installed directly cyanogenMOD ROM 1.4.xx. I restarted the phone and it won't boot, the Orange logo remained there for 40 minutes, after which I restarted it.
I wiped all the data again.
I installed update.zip, the phone restarted and the recovery console popped automatically with the message Formatting CACHE, and it's doing that for an hour and counting.
What should I do?
Did I bricked it? or is it a soft brick, if so how can I make boot? ANY ROM, not specially the cyanogenmod.
Hope I didn't bought me a 250Euros paperweight :|
Thanks, ARthur.
A link to the the tutorials you followed could help me in seeing where you went wrong. From reading it, the part that confuses me, is the Orange Logo. Of which are you speaking of?
what was the update.zip you installed, it sounds like the htc image or the radio or maybe an spl, after you can use the recovery console (basically like 30 seconds of formatting cache on the screen) you can flash the rom.
The Orange Logo is actually the main Android software's image. When you turn it on, depeneding from where you bought it, the operator logo/company usualy is onscreen.
(Before you see the android logo)
BUT I think I was to in a hurry, I have the Dev software now workingm I fell asleep and now it works, just have to try the same with CyanogenMOD.
update.zip is the HArdSpl / older HBOOT

Best thing you can do is a complete reinstall of the spl radio and of course the rom i recomend using a old cyanogen mod this should fix and problems if nt unroot and reroot the phone hopefully wont come to that

so i downloaded "VIBEUI_V2.8_1526_7.80.1_DEV_K50-T5" rom and gapps64 and went to the CMW and this time i erased the date cach and davlik and installed the rom and after that the gapps
and now i cant get past the welcome screnn becuase as soon as i choose english or chinse it will give me "wlan has stopped" and return to the language menu...
so now im stuck becuase i cant use adb to root it and SP tools dosent work too(i tried to keep it pluged for an hour and it still wont do anything with ot without the battery)

Try removing the battery and plugging the phone in to the PC.
Start SP Tools with CWM set in the scatter and only recovery ticked
Press Download in SP tools and then insert the battery
CWM should download to phone
If that fails repeat but plug the phone in once you press Download, then insert the battery.

Omg..i have almost exactly the same problem and the solution that MrAAnderson suggested didn't work.Here's how i ended in this problem.I was running VIBEUI_V3.0_1602_7.407.1_DEV_K50-T5 ROM on TWRP recovery made By Pr1nc3V app Lenovo K3 Note Manager [v2.1].Since i had annoying bug with "R" (roaming icon) and "gapps stopped working" issue i wanted to re-flash same ROM.I entered into TWRP recowery,cleared dalvik+cache,rebooted into recovery again.Now i wanted to flash ROM,but it didn't flash it gave me an error,same thing happens if i try to flash stock recovery (i even tried naming ROM and recovery as "recovery.zip" and "update.zip").Rebooted the phone but i'm also stucked on welcome screen where i can't pass it because of "Unfortunately,WLAN stopped working".
Tried to flash ROM and stock recovery with SPFlashTool but the tool doesn't see phone at all,same as Lenovo K3 Note Manager by Pr1nc3V .Right now i'm running out of solutions for this mess i created,any advice will help.Help me please to restore my phone.
EDIT: i just realized that i actually made a "factory reset" in TWRP recovery..not just wipe data,cache and dalvik.....what are my options now folks?
Ok i'm happy to announce that i resolved my problem (after a panic mode on,lol).Here is what i did..
1. Obviously you have to get back on your stock (original,ugly chinese-english one) recovery (in case you already didn't..).To do that i used SP Flash tool.(i wouldn't go into details but if you need just ask).
After that we have following situation..stock recovery + dev ROM (which isn't working well).
2.If you try to flash any ROM in this state it will fail (based on my experience,i tried to flash exactly same ROM which is already installed..no way.).So now next step is to get a CUSTOM (TWRP or CM) recovery,again flashing it with SP Flash tools.
From this point you can choose wher would you go...STOCK rom ,MODDED one ...anything actually.I hope i clarified a bit.
sptools is not detecting my device

So it won't stay off, even if you press power and volume up together for a few seconds? Which rom were you using, what did you do before it bootlooped, bootloader unlocked, etc...?

even it wont stay off, always bootloop;
If I remember well, first I unlock the phone with the code from sony; after launch the twrp with adp on pc (for a strange motive it (the phone) doesnt load the twrp without pc) , clean cache and co, like 2/3 times, after installing the new rom
it seems to me the omni rom 7.1.2

Sorry to repeat, but just to be clear - when you press and hold power and volume up, what happens? Are you saying it turns off, and then automatically turns back on, and bootloops?

Try fastboot flash, (different kernel or different recovery...), or flash stock rom with FT.

[SOLVED] Touch not working at all

Hi here!
I bought my Mi 8 some days ago (China version, since I live there), and yesterday I finally got time to work on it to move to Global or EU_multi.
After some minor trouble (bootloop after installing magisk), the touch screen now is not working anymore: wherever I touch it, no response, both in recovery (TWRP) and normal system boot. Everything else is working, I can flash ROM via fastboot, and the ROM (I tried official China and Global) are correctly booting, but then I should touch the screen to complete the first time boot and I'm blocked, because it is not responding to touches. All other buttons are working (I can turn off/on the screen with power button, and I can hear the related sound). I can boot to recovery and fastboot. Everything seems OK, except the touch itself.
Is it possible that I did something wrong while trying to flash magisk? or disabling dm-verity and forced encryption? or anything else that could have caused this issue?
I tried to flash different TWRP recovery and different official ROMs (China and Global), but no result, touch always not responding...
If anybody have suggestion, please say.
And thanks in advance!
Edit: solved following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/beware-global-weekly-betas-digitizer-t3879172

How about going to the thread about 'non-functional touchscreen solution'. It will fix your exact problem. No need for a new thread, you should have searched first.

How long have you waited? Changing ROM will reset everything, like, everything. It may take unusually long (I'd say 30 minutes but could be more or less).

When i flash the ROM it boots up normal, take like 10 minutes to load to the greetings screen, to first configure the phone, but it only lasts less than a minute, it goes back to the MIUI Logo and never comes back.
Hi, exactly the same thing happens to me, simply that I have never flashed it, I have only changed the screen. Did you find the solution? sorry for my English
Thanks
