Mi5 suddenly died, unable to boot to system, nothing on the screen - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

It happened a couple weeks ago. It was close to 11 am, my Mi5 pro with MIUI 8.2.1 was fully charged and with no warning message it has shut down. Since then i was not able to boot it to system and the screen have never lighten a pixel again.
I've been able to boot to fastboot and reflash MIUI. No boot to system, nothing on screen.
I also flashed MIUI 8.2.1 using MIflash both in fastboot and EDL Mode, and again no system boot, nothing on the screen.
Anyone here had a similar problem and knows how to solve it?
Any help would be appreciably. Thanks in advance.

I'm experienced this few days ago, but I'm in custom ROM.
It's like sudden network down on my phone then after i turn off it just wipe up all my ROM and let the phone stuck in EDL mode, no matter how I reboot it just won't change to another mode.
And also I'm reflash the V8.2.2.0 firmware in EDL mode like 3 to 4 time already, the first few times it's also won't response after i reflashed, only the last time I was about to give up and give a last try, after that it's miracle boot normal again

I'm experienced this few days ago, but I'm in custom ROM
Stuck in edl mode..i reflash my phone with miui developer rom 2 time. But after flash still will not boot. In second time still can,t boot..It's make me frustasy. Finally i tried push Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button at the same time. Tadaa...my phone boot to recovery mode..Hope this can help you...

Okay, have you tried Mi Flash with deep flash cable ? Flash it again with deep flash cable or go to any reseller shop. They have deep flash cable. Ask them to flash it again. It'd cost you upto $10.

Have the same problem, yesterday I flashed the newest RR ROM and now my phone is suddenly dead (it was untouched on my desk)....
Flashed global developer already (MiFlash said it was "successful").... No luck until now...

Read some where in lineage is thread that if you let the phone discharge and then charge it, it turns on...
But you are past that now

I had the same issue about a month or 2 ago. MiFlash doesn't do anything and it was constantly stuck with QDLoader 9008.
What fixed mine was taking it apart, disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it.
Booted up fine afterwards, though I lost all my data after the MiFlash attempt beforehand.

Were you using any custom kernel?
This is not rom related as people on miui are also experiencing this...

HELP!! Le2 x526 Not booting Up, nor Charging

Hello Friends,
Yesterday I was chatting on whatsapp and suddenly my le2 restarts, and then a blue splash screen appears and device keeps on booting,
hence I went to recovery and clear the data, but that also didnt help me,
Then i flash the 13s rom via Flashone 1.9 then also same problem happens, sometimes it went to optimizing apps 3 of 4 and again restarts with blue LED, i were unable to switch it off,
after draining the whole battery I keep mobile to charge but now it is not charging, it only showing Red Solid LED Continuously.
Now I am also Unable to boot into recovery or fastboot mode.
I again flash the stock 13s rom via flashone 1.9 , i got success msg but then also mobile is not booting nor it is charging.
Note: I am on complete stock rom on locked bootloader, never unlocked or rooted, used as come in box.
Please give me a solution on this, I have searched everywhere but not getting any solutions.
Thanks in advance
Try to check your USB cable, most of the time charging issue is due to cable

Cable is ok. I have another Le2 and it is charging with that cable very well
I am facing same problem. How you solve this issue? Blue led blinks after flashing any rom and bootloop.

I also have the exact same problem. Phone started rebooting as soon as it booted up. Somehow i managed to unlock the bootloader, but to no avail. Can't seems to find any rom which can boot up. So practically i have a bricked device with trwp. Formatted the system and other partitions with twrp, flashed many roms. Still the result is same. Bootloops.
Hi,
try to to reimage your phone with QFIL from this site:
https://www.techpoison.in/2017/12/how-to-flash-letv-le-2-x526-stock.html
I downloaded everything from there, QFIL, Sparse image and drivers. My phone was bricked, but its working normally now. After you flash the image your phone should charge normally, just try to boot it up. In my case i had issues with baseband, not detected, no sim function and no wifi and phone was restarting each 3-4 minutes, but it was operable. Basedband issues can be solved by hard reseting the phone and updating it to 21s using the local update, just put the 21s stock renamed to update.zip to internal storage and run system update. When you get the error - APK missing, just boot it up again and retry the local update, should work fine the second time, i just deleted the update.zip and put back again and ran the update.

Flash the 21s bootloader + modem, one ZIP file, should work fine. Not sure what ROM did you install last time. You can give it a shot with with MIUI 10 - its nougat.
I had similar issues, see my topic, maybe it helps a bit.

Brother same thing happened to me, a week ago. I cant say about your problem but my problem was due to faulty power button. Actually due to that reason my phone actually kept restarting itself. It showed red light blinking while charging and wasn't able to bypass the optimizing app screen. I also thought it was a software issue but actually it wasn't. I spent about 2 hours figuring out what the actual problem was. The problem was: As we know when power button is hard pressed for about 10-15 seconds it reboots itself.
Although the repair shop guy didn't put new power button but he added a tiny piece of paper in between the power button and body housing to prevent the issue and voila the problem was solved.

Hi, Thanks. I actually did that first, flashing through qfil the same rom. it helped me to go to settings after umpteen attempts to go past language selection screen, and i was just able to oem unlock and enable usb debugging (actually after a 2nd partial failed flashing). the phone kept freezing within seconds of booting up. Now After i unlocked the bootloader and installing twrp and flashing many roms thru twrp, i am still having the same problem of booting up and freezing at start-up. cant flash again through qfil, as i will again loose the unlocked bootloader and twrp.
At least , now i can try different roms to see which can unbrick it. last one used was the twrp flashable rom based on eui (small eui by aurel) but it also freezes on language selection screen or beyond.
I am running out of ideas, lets see.
2nd partial failed flashing? any issues during the flash process? i had some issues when i used usb 3.0, 2.0 worked fine for me. If you have also charging issues stay in twrp and let the phone charge properly, its slower but should work fine. You can try to flash the 21s bootloader with modem, maybe it will boot properly. But try it only when you are able to enter the fastboot mode, longpress volume down and power for 10-15 seconds, if that is working you should be able to flash twrp via fastboot and you can experiment a bit. Try to find the chinesse twrp 3.0.2.0 and try to flash the stock 21s version. Should be also an image file, in standard twrp go to install - image, after selecting the image file click on recovery and install, after installation go back, reboot, recovery. Copy 21s to storage, wipe data, cache, dalvik and flash it, chinesse twrp will skip version check and will let you install the stock image, after install reboot but click on do not replace recovery button - this will keep the chinesse twrp installed.
If nothing helps it can be only a HW failure, maybe the power button, try usb 2.0 port during the flash process, i had issues with 3.0 on my pc, if that doesnt help.try a different cable, no more suggestions, sorry.

My phone has been flashed multiple times by qfil method. And always it hangs at initial setup (so it boots up, but hangs at language selection or further up screens, before setup can complete and launcher could be loaded).
While trying to flash again with qfil once it stopped at 25 percent (because the battery went dead). Charged the battery and booted up the phone, and i was surprised it booted up. After 2-3 attempts i was able to reach the launcher screen and immediately enabled developer options and oem unlock / usb debugging. Only had few split seconds to do this and the phone froze again. After that i installed twrp and hence treying different roms. Most fail at setup.
Just tried MIUI 9PRO ROM. It also froze at setup multiple times, but once i was able to complete the setup and miui launcher is up , but it reboots or turn off the phone just after that. So cant do anything with the phone. Unsure of whether a newer bootloader will help in these freezing issues as i have been able to boot up at least in some roms only if for few seconds. Will try to tinker the settings of miui rom (if the phone let me do it before freezing/hanging). Lets see. Thanks for suggestions. More suggestions welcome, because i am still unsure weather this is a software or hardware related problem. I am guessing that it may have something to do with Google security as earlier i was getting msg that phone has been wrongly resetted and needs to verify with Google (but i couldn't get a chance to use the same account, as phone kept freezing at setup).
Did you fully charge the battery, if not let it fully charge in twrp. Flashing the roms in twrp works everytime or do you see any errors? Before you flash anything disconnect the usb cable.
---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------
Try to flash the 21s bootloarder with modem, one zip using twrp. Go to fastboot mode and wipe modems. fastboot erase modem1st fastboot erase modem2st. Put the phone to flash mode and reimage with qfil. Before you do it write down both imeis, you can find them also on the original package on the backside. Also try to remove all sim cards from the phone and try a different cable. If nothing helps, hw issue, maybe the power button mention earlier in this thread.
After reflash skip everything at setup and reset phone to factory defaults. OEM is already unlocked, you dont have to do it again.
I have charged the phone fully before any flashing after that error. I can flash the phone through twrp without any error msg. The phone boots up most of times in various roms but hangs at or after the initial setup screens show (like language selection etc). Flashed the modem+bootloader, success, but it showed bootloader version as 20s (not 21s). Tried the commands u mentioned to erase modems, it say error failed, no such partition found. I had checked the partitions with parted and 56 partitions are there including the modemst1 & 2.
Now re flashed via qfil , did as advised but again the same problem of hanging / freezing at or after initialization screens of various roms.

Yeah sorry i screwed the command its fastboot erase modest1 modemst2, my bad.
Just now i was able to complete the initialization (setup screen) of sparse image india rom. I can reach the launcher and settings for few seconds before the device freezes or reboots.
So the same problem , with which i started, the only good thing is that i have been able to set oem unlock to on, so that i can flash trwp and various roms (but all fail with the same freezing issues)

So you erased modems and reflashed with qfil right? If so i assume its a HW problem. Try the fix with the power button, i ran out of ideas
Last thing which can help maybe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH3VOIlLfvo&t=135s
Download 21s stock image + the chinesse twrp, links should be under the video, i think so, or look somewhere in the forum for new links. Try to reflash the 21s, some people reported that freezing issues were gone after installing the latest EUI. Basically you can do the same after QFIL reflash but you need enough time to copy the ZIP file as UPDATE.ZIP to the internal storage and run the local update via setting, system update and local update, i hope that TWRP will work for you, just follow the video tutorial.

Did that also, the same problem. The phone freezes after the os is booted. I was wondering what is that isnt touched by flashing ( in download mode or fastboot mode or through twrp). I may need to tinker that. The roms are all fine in the sense they all stop at the same points. Something in the phones partition, which isnt touched by flashing? (There must be, as i flashed with qfil, the oem unlock remains, the bootloader didn't lock, and it remains unaffected by re-imaging)
Try this, maybe it helps:

[HELP] Redmi 4x won't boot.

Hello,
my Redmi 4x won't boot. I tried to find some solution for this issue, but I can't find it anywhere, so I created this new thread to ask you for your help.
Last night I was out in the city and my phone died because of low battery, so after I came home I just wanted to charge it as usual. Battery logo showed up and it was behaving as always, but when I tried to turn it on it couldn't boot again.
After pressing the power button the splash screen flashes for a brief moment and then it just turn off again. This happens all the time from the moment my phone died. I'm not sure what went wrong here. I can't get it to recovery mode either. So I wanted to do a fresh start and flash it again with new ROM here (Ressurection Remix 6 is what I have now)
I'm able to get it on fastboot mode, but once I try to flash it with MiFlash I get error message like "error:FAILED (remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed)"
So I looked up for a solution and I found that I need to get it in EDL mode with adb.exe
I tried this solution but with no luck. Phone is restarting but it won't turn on again and the fastboot mode is lost.
I'm not really sure if I have right drivers for it. Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E is what I have now. I can't also change the usb debugging mode obviously, so I'm also trying to find some solution for this issue either (is there any chance how to turn it on with adb.exe?)
I think it's softbricked but i'm not really sure.
Thank you for your help

Hi, most likely your battery is faulty. Current draw during Android kernel boot up phase is above 1A whereas only around 0.2A for a working OS, that's why neither OS nor recovery can start when the battery develops high ESR (internal resistance). Do the following test:
fully recharge the battery
do not disconnect the charger
turn it on
Your Android may now actually work again but you must use a short quality cable connected to a 2A+ charger, which will support the battery at boot time - and you can disconnect it later.

Thank you, but the battery wasn't the main issue, because once I was able to flash it through EDL mode to the latest stable official ROM, the battery was on 93% already.
Now I'm stuck with MI logo and powered by android with 3 blinking dots above. I watched somewhere, that it could last for 7 minutes, but for me even the 15 minutes is not enough, so I guess i'm in bootloop.
For some reason my bootloader is locked again, even though I already made the unlocking process earlier before I flashed to Resurection remix 6. My phone doesn't even appear in device manager. I can't even use it as a storage, so I could try to flash it to custom ROM.
I'm not really sure wat happened and how is it possible to brick your phone by just draining your battery to 0%
Ok, phone is alive again. It booted up right after I inersted microSD card in slot. I didn't know this was necessary...

Bootloop

I just wanna ask after the oct update i got bootloop now when i try to go to service center they told me that the problem is the motherboard. When i explain to them the reason i just update it then bootloop they always tell me the problem is motherboard. And i need to fix it and the cost is half the price of the phone. Now i need some help. When i try to turn on its stuck to androide one then off whne i try to go to fastboot its okay. When i charge it it turns on and off. I jus need some help.

is your bootloader unlocked?
If so, have you tried booting latest twrp image from fastboot?
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Sounds like you may at least have to try to wipe and format your phone at the cost of all data.
But then you could use the situation to install a good custom ROM..
If you were doing a normal update, your phone should revert to the previous slot after a few attempted reboots.
Keep trying to reboot.
If nothing else works, try flashing september version from EDL (search it on the forums).
I flashed and still couldn't boot at first. I tried restarting a lot of times, until it got on the "Retry" or "Power off" option. I let the phone sit on this screen until it shut itself off. After tried booting up a few more times until it finally did.
I was not plugged in during this.
I'm not going near that october patch ever again.
Hello everyone,
I'm using mi A2 (64gb). It is rooted and was running on Resurrection Remix 8.6.2. Somedays earlier, I let my phone idle, suddenly it starts rebooting, just like bootlooping. After seeing that I booted in recovery and wiped dalvik and cache then rebooted and the phone rebooted in system successfully. But then I noticed the power menu appearing continuously on the home screen, I tried to dismiss it but it rebooted again and so on. From then, only the splash screen appeared for 8 seconds and it reboots again. I can boot into recovery or fastboot but only for 2-3 seconds then it reboots.
I've searched on the internet and was flashing firmware manually from fastboot but accidentally, I flashed an image file in a wrong location and the phone screen turned off and nothing appeared. Then I found that it had entered in EDL mode. but still it is rebooting and I can't flash firmware from mi flashing tool as fastboot wasn't working.
This is the problem of my phone. A help would be amazing! Thank you!
Ps. I'm new here and it is my first post so if anything is wrong. I beg your pardon and sorry for my bad English.

I'm using mi A2 (64gb). It is rooted and was running on Resurrection Remix 8.6.2. Somedays earlier, I let my phone idle, suddenly it starts rebooting, just like bootlooping. After seeing that I booted in recovery and wiped dalvik and cache then rebooted and the phone rebooted in system successfully. But then I noticed the power menu appearing continuously on the home screen, I tried to dismiss it but it rebooted again and so on. From then, only the splash screen appeared for 8 seconds and it reboots again. I can boot into recovery or fastboot but only for 2-3 seconds then it reboots.
I've searched on the internet and was flashing firmware manually from fastboot but accidentally, I flashed an image file in a wrong location and the phone screen turned off and nothing appeared. Then I found that it had entered in EDL mode. but still it is rebooting and I can't flash firmware from mi flashing tool as fastboot wasn't working.
This is the problem of my phone. A help would be amazing! Thank you!
Ps. I'm new here and it is my first post so if anything is wrong. I beg your pardon and sorry for my bad English.

Try shorting testpoint in motherboard then enter EDL mode,
Then use mi flash tool.need to remove battery first.
How? Watch youtube, for mi6x. Mi 6x = a2, sort of.
~yes, you need to remove/open the phone.

Thank you for replying
One thing to note I'm in edl mode already. Do I need to short the test points again?

U said rebooting even in edl, if not. Dont. Just make sure you have enough battery juice.
Use xiaomi tools. Or not, I uncompressed the file and click flash all.

[HELP] Bootloop after trying to boot to recovery. Can't go anywhere

Hey!
I was using my phone as normal, and installed an update for PixelPlusUI, it was working fine and all, until earlier today, i tried going into recovery to fix an app issue. After that, the phone just bootlooped. I figured that going into Fastboot would fix that, but the problem is, i can't reach any of those modes. It just goes to the Redmi logo, reboots, and repeats that infinitely.
I heard about EDL mode, but that seems atleast so far, unreacheable.
Is there any way for me to reach it? Maybe by letting the battery dry out and then plug the powered off phone with Volume -, or am i out of luck here? Im pretty sure this is caused by the stupid VBMeta checks XIAOMI phones has.

Vbmeta means Android Verified Boot.
Vbmeta is default for all android devices and it was made by Google.
It is not specific made by Xiaomi.
Android Verified Boot 2.0
https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/avb
What changes did you do when you fixed the app issue?
Couldn't do any, just tried to boot into recovery, then got into that bootlooop cycle, couldn't reach anything.
Managed to get into EDL and SP Flash Tool mode, however, im a bit confused on what i need to flash to get it back to life with stock MIUI or atleast boot to main system to use ADB.
My IMEI is fixed on the phone stickers so i can reasily recover that aswell, any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Now i just need help flashing as it seems, what do i need to do to properly re-flash / re-boot the phone without losing IMEI and that sorta stuff? I plan on switching back to Pixel Plus UI again so, it isn't an issue.
EDIT2: Completely fixed, followed VD's guide on EDL/Mediatek Bypass method and flashed a normal GLOBAL rom, all was fixed, no IMEI lost.

Question Redmi Note 10 Pro - Stuck on Miui Logo

Hey,
I know there's a fair few threads on this but I've spent the past 7 hours trying to resolve this with all ideas I've found although to no avail.
My phone was on, working as normal although randomly it is now stuck on the Miui logo no matter what I try. It also freezes on fastboot.
The phone isn't detected by the PC now anymore either, the phone is only 6 months old.
Does anyone have any other ideas what I can try?
I've tried safe mode, reboot, fastboot, connecting phone to PC, having someone call me etc, no luck.
Fastboot is not "fast boot", it is a mode to install parts of the operating system from PC.
If your bootloader is unlocked, (unlocked lock icon at the top of the screen when starting the phone) you can download MIUI (Fastboot version) from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/sweet/ and then extract the archive, and run the flash_all_except_storage.bat file from PC while the phone is in "fastboot" mode and connected to PC via USB.
If your bootloader is locked (no lock icon when starting the phone), then I'm afraid you're gonna have to reboot to recovery mode (hold power button+ volume up when restarting the phone) and select wipe data option which will erase all data and "factory reset" it. If that does not work, then MIUI is corrupted and you have no choice but to visit a Xiaomi phone service center.
You're in luck if you live in europe or china, since there are many official xiaomi stores, but if you're in america, there are currently no official xiaomi stores sadly.

....Boot problems can also have something to do with defective hardware buttons.

Enter recovery. (hold volume up and power) There is an option to reset data there. It will wipe the data in your phone, but should start you from scratch.
