Mi5 bricked ... no LED / no Recovery / no Fastboot / no signs of Life !!! - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi friends, since today my phone is bricked.
I cant get into recovery/fastboot mode. No LED even when i connect it to charging.
My phone gets detected on MiFlash and i have successfully flashed the developer ROM but even then my Phone refuses to boot. What could be the problem ? i tried almost all the Guides on Internet. i dont know what happened. I had ResurrectionRemix 7.1.1. till yesterday working without any problem. Today all of a sudden i am facing this issue. i wanted to flash Brand Kernel but i just downloaded and didnt flash it. after that this horrible experience of HardBrick.
Anyone help me pls what can be done / i am on Windows 7 64bit and i tried on only one laptop. As i said earlier, i have no problem in flashing latest global developer ROM(Fastboot ROM) using MiFlash. but it doesnt reboot, no LED, no Recovery no Fastboot. i am quite irritated with this. such an issue i never had with any other Android phone(HTC Desire, Samsung galaxy SII, Xiaomi Mi2S), but now with Mi5...
Am i Unlucky ? have i turned my new Mi5 into a costly Paperweight ? i bought it on geekbuying during special Offer... just an info...
I am waiting for an helping hand... pls help me friends....

Try test point method, it's revived my hardbrick mi5.
Just google the tutorial. It's quite easy.
But it's void the warranty because of the broken seal

What is that ? I couldn't figure it and I couldn't find it on Google. Can u give a simple guide or a link to it pls ? Thanks in advance

Avoid stupid test point stuff. All you need to do is disconect the battery and reconnect it back again.

Help - Ascend P7-L10 Locked Soft Bricked

Hi there,
recently, I tried updating my phone to B609, following a certain website's guide.
and upon finishing it, it showed the following attachment.
I have tried following almost all I can to revert it, but sadly, it does not work. and, it was a very stupid decision of me to try and update it, full-knowingly that I have a rather obsolete knowledge regarding this.
Can someone please help me, I am really sorry to have bothered the visitors of this forum, and if my thread is not in it's place, please guide me to find a proper place to help me with my phone.
Thank you

Please wait confirmation from more experienced users than me but what I would have done if I were you:
1 - Try to unlock the bootloader. For that there are tutorials here in XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-p7-l10-oem-t3062851
2 - With unlocked bootloader you should be able to flash a new rom!
Hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply friend. I really appreciate it.
Regarding the unlock bootloader, following the tutorial that you have greatly linked to, it says in one of the step it to select a device. But, I did not see any mention of Ascend P7, or for that matter, I'm not aware of another given name for Ascend P7, so, which one should I choose or any selected device would be fine?
Thank you again for taking time to help me. Much appreciated.

As it is said in the tutorial you should modify the values of the list in order to include our phone model (step 3 and following...).

I didn't think of that... I'm sure part of that info is available in the phone case but can't ensure that everything is there...
By the way I've never tried a JIG so any feedback on it would be nice!

have u found a flashabe zip stock rom? or other way?

Hi,
i guess you have to unlock your bootloader per dload again. You can force an local update by pressing power and volume plus/minus at the same time.
Is the bootloader unlocking local update based on emui2.3? If so, you'd had to downgrade to emui 2.3 (B1xx).
To do so: Flash the downgrade packages(B8xx) first, after that the full rom(B6xx) , then the next downgrade package(B6xx) and the next rom(B1xx).
Probably your phone will boot after the first full rom flash. If it does, you could get the numbers you need, and unlock per fastboot.

Yes, you could just put the update file into a folder named 'dload' in the root directory of your sd card.

You could try to boot to recovery pressing power and volume-. Does the battery charge then? I'd try myself, but my mum got my P7.. If it doesn't work you may try this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084. And if that all fails you could purchase a new battery as your final option.
Please don't try to charge your phone externally. Handling with LiOn-batterys without knowing exactly what you do could be quite dangerous.

There are no custom roms for lollipop, unfortunately. So you have to stick with the stock one.

Problems with Honor 4x

Sir,
I own a honor 4x and I have been using this device happily from last February 2016.But suddenly ,some days ago, as I was using it, it suddenly switched off and even though the battery on the device was full, I tried to power on. it switched on and then came the honor logo and then suddenly switched off and then automatically this process repeated.
Now I'm not able to use my smartphone. Kindly help me. Moreover there is no honor service center in our area (silchar).
Is there a way to install the running software version (lollipop) in this phone. If yes then please inform the details. I'll be able to do it.
If you could help me solve this problem then I'll be very thankful to you.

This looks like a hardware problem. Look for any generic service center in malls. They can help.

1.download stock full rom zip for your device and copy it into sd card
2.Install official twrp for your device(as you have unlocked your bootloader already)
3. boot into TWRP and click on wipe > advanced wipe select all partitions except sd card.
4.now mount sd card.
5.browse to the location where rom.zip is present and click on install.
6.wait till device boots
here is the link for full rom packages

only download the rom which have status as full.

Touchscreen problem after flash

Hi everyone,
I was trying to update latest Pixelexperience and AOSPExtended ROMs (I switch between these two from time to time), and after the first boot my touchscreen started to act weird: if I tap anywhere the tap is either unrecognised or recognised somewhere else, out of position.
This applies both to recovery (using 3.2.3 treble mod) and system, but only after flashing the ROM.
Other recoveries and systems work.
Looks like some Mi A1 (Tissot) devices also had this problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

[SOLVED] Mi 9 bricked after latest MIUI 11. Help me please.

EDIT: Solved, check latest post. (#28)
My Mi 9 bricked after i flashed the MIUI 11 beta (9.9.24), then with MiFlash, flashed back to Global (i have unlocked the bootloader)
Now the phone is in this state:
- Screen black, no signal to anything, no LED turns on
- Cannot boot to System, Fastboot, Recovery, or EDL
- Does not react to any button combination (Tried with/without charger, power button holding for 1 min, etc.) Guess i'm f-ed
Can someone help me please? :/
I'm not an expert but if you phone don't event turn on, how you expect someone to help you? The only one who can help you it's a service or a repair lab. I don't think that the problem is in software.

As far as i know Mi 9 cepheus doesn't have rollback protection.... Maybe this miui 11 beta has, and i didn't know.
EDIT: It does not have any ARB... I did something wrong but dunno what
You can try to unlock again with Mi Unlock tool. Helped in my case which was different from yours though. But you've got nothing to lose anyhow.
Cheers

Damnn it !
What is this sh** of anti rollback ?
Didn't know it even exists.
I will patientlky wait Q Aosp based roms, even if it takes a year ^^
Feel sorry for your hard brick, I hope you'll find a trick

You need to open back cover, find EDL testpoint pins and flash full ROM through MiFlash.
If you dont have authorized Mi account for EDL flash, find someone who have it.

If you can go under the device manager and see if there is a usb device connecting? It may be in Snapdragon's flash mode. If it is, you need to find someone with a privledged account or goto the mi store.

Can you dubbelcheck the rom you tried to flash? Make sure its really for MI9? This kind of trouble most of the time happens when flashing a rom for another phone. Like MI9T or something.

Yes it was cepheus_global_images_V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM_20190709.0000.00_9.0_global. I followed every instruction for flashing with MiFlash tool....
I had a similar problem when I received the phone, I couldn't start it right out of the box, it's certainly not the same problem but I waited a few hours and then I had the idea to boot it in fastboot and when I restarted it, it worked

Do you wanna have stock installed?
Then you could just flash that with mi flash.
All data on the phone will get lost though.
Do you need anything badly that's on your phone at the moment?
In case you rather wanna try out a custom ROM (which I would so much advise in this case where you need to reflash stuff anyway) the steps are different. So write back if you need hints how to get there.
thanks for the answer. ive alredy solved problem with instaling miui 11 whats been mainly reason what i was doing. i had some troubles with cmd
command to run twrp. if anyone get faced with this issue .. contact me
thank you again. Rom is awsome ???
