Hi,
I'm fairly new to custom ROMs and the like. I just flashed LineageOS on my LeEco phone but am having trouble with doing the same on my Mi 5. I attempted to flash TWRP onto my phone using fastboot and unfortunately won't boot to it. I can now no longer find my phone listed in the Mi Flash tool or on adb. I believe USB debugging is turned off for some reason. I can access the phone's fastboot screen but can't doing anything past that.
Is there a way I can flash anything at all onto my phone as I believe I've royally buggered it up now.
Thanks..
Hey, so if you boot into Fastboot, your PC does not register anything? Nothing in MiFlash? And have you checked Windows Device Manager? It should register something (see atachment, but it's in my native language).

I have a xiaomi mi a2 device which had bootloop all the time. I was not able to get into device at all. So in other words oem unlock and usb debugg was not active at all. I tried so many times to get into the phone just to activate those. Now since some other phones doesnt really need those to flash because they use different kind of flashing i asumed i wouldnt need those.
when i tried to flash using adb sideload which was available it couldnt flash it went to 47% and then it just failed or stopped with some message and 1.00x at the end. I did try couple of times without any luck. I was never awared that thus phone had project treble rom wich in turn have 2 partitions. I acted on impuls. Then i tried fastboot commands with error about failed not able to flash restriction. Then i found that you could flash using emergency download mode which is in my mind something lg has with shorting the pins. There you dont have any issues because emergency download mode in lg dont require any permission or any problem for you to make your degice alive again. You could do that how often you will.
now i assumed it was the same with mi a2 that it would write rom the same but automatically because in lg you need to flash particular files in order to make that method work. I did flash mi a2 in edl and it did flash but the result was catastrophic. I got message about some partition something while flashing was a success. Then i thought how can edl fail even if oem is locked. It shouldnt work like that. Then i tried and tried to unlick bootloader through fastboot but its impossible. From start it was impossible to activate those settings. Then now i figure it out that it must do something with project treble and those 2 partitions. Is there any way to make this phone alive again?? Is there any way to flash partitions and partitions table manually
P. S I flashed it with what i thought was the anwser about my problem. I flashed it with mi x6 recovery rom from xda which made whole situation worse. Now i dont even have adb option nor do i have option to roll back to stock.
Just for comparison, in google pixel phone you dont even need unlocked bootloader or anything for that matter to flash pixel phone as long the rom is stock rom. Adb sideload works flawlessly
Any help is appreciated
Hello guys, so, today i was trying to install miui 9 in my mi a2, then later going to update to miui 10. I was trying to install by flash mode (XiaoMiFlash) Everything was going fine, until my windows accidently turned off for updates (RIP). When my pc turned on, i was desperately opening miflash as fast that i could, but then when i try to install again it was saying "cannot recieve hello packet". I tried to restart it thinking that would fix it, but its just stuck in a MI logo with mi.com screen(Bootloop). I was trying to unplug usb cable and then putting again trying to fix it, clicking refresh to see if it appears, but it doesn't. Same with fastboot mode, doesn't get recognized. I really need help to fix it and sorry if i wrote something wrong, english is not my native language.
Same problem happened with me today. Any Solution?
Are you able to boot into fastboot?
Something similar happened to me once with the A2.
I somehow too managed to interrupt some update process and got stuck in the same scenario.
I could resolve it by getting one of these now superseded fastboot stock files with some installer scripts in them.
The scripts also wouldn't work, but I could install the firmware files one by one manually, following the script's content.
First off though, you could try to get into fastboot mode (as mentioned before), boot the official twrp img and flash the latest firmware zip file from here
Then you could go ahead and flash miui for the A2 like any other custom ROM (or did you just post in the wrong section and actually got an 6X? - seeing that you used miflash, it really seems like it..
Just in case here is the right thread for downloading miui for the A2: A2 miui port)

Hey, sorry for not awnsering for a long time. Yes, i can enter in fastboot, but the problem is that my MI A2 doesn't get recognized. (nothing happens if i try to flash it in fastboot mode).
i same that trouble, i can try to bootloader but when i connect usb to my pc it not recognized, i don't run anycommand from my PC,
I think if i change to second slot i will boot my phone, and i want to change slot without command "fastboot set active-slot "
Hello, after unsuccessful OTA update my phone doesnt boot into Android any more.
I had an original, untouched xiaomi system (not a custom one, not rooted etc).
Bootloader locked like default.
I think update.zip could be faulty - I have no idea how.
I am able to run Fastboot but due locked BL I cannot do much there.
I deasemble phone, pull out the battery, connected EDL pinouts with a wire, and all this togetcher connecter to PC.
Phone is visible by PC.
Downloaded ROM, and tried to flash via MI Flash..
On last moment I am getting error with information that my mi.com account is not athourised to do such a thing.
I tried also Mi Flash Pro founded on Cyanogenmod forum, but without luck - still getting same error.
Does anyone know how to get out from this situation or should I rather open warranty process in Gearbest?

Just flash a custom recovery, the device even had the offical twrp. So?? Just not into fastboot and then flash the recovery by the -- command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(You have to rename the twrp file to recovery or whatever, just write the image file name instead of recovery in the second one. Ex fastboot flash recovery 123.img)
Then command
Fastboot reboot
(Hold the power up button for booting into twrp before hitting enter)
Download a miui recovery rom for your device from anywhere, I don't know I'm lazy.
And before flashing, go into mount select vendor and system if not selected.
And then select wipe
Advanced wipe
Select vendor system data cache.
Swipe to clean
Move the rom to your device
(If your device does not show up in your pc, then go into mount (twrp) select enable MTP if it's disabled, if it shows disabled then enable it again)
After that just flash your rom and then a permissive patch you can ask anyone. Or just flash pitchblack recovery. Fixed my problem of not not booting.
Sorry for the wrong format, wrote it on mobile, as I am a lazy bum.
Wut bruh.
Something similar happened to my friend's Poco F1. It was locked and I only could boot into fastbook, looked everywhere for a solution and found this lifesaving tool . It may work for Redmi 8 too.

Hello everyone.
My dad sent me his Mi A2 to have a look after not booting into the (rooted) stock ROM. So I have done some "repairs"...
First, I managed to flash the latest LineageOS for the Mi A2. This worked, but after the next LOS update was released, I could only update the system after a factory reset.
So I began the whole procedure again: I flashed TWRP (version 3.5.2_9.0) on the active slot (using an Intel PC, an USB 2.0 port, a good cable), installed the system (LOS 18.1) again, changed the active slot, installed TWRP on this one and rebooted to recovery. The phone booted to the TWRP splash screen and then... nothing. It stays in a (very dark) TWRP splash screen. Then I changed to fastboot mode, tried to boot a temporary TWRP, but it refused to. I tried the latest Mi Flash tool, but although it recognized the phone, it couldn't flash the latest stock ROM. After that the PC suddenly said that the device cannot be recognized and now I cannot access the phone via USB, although PC, USB port and cable did not change. I tried to acces EDL by using test points - nothing. The phone charges, but nothing else works. I cannot boot into recovery, I cannot boot into the system, I only can boot into Fastboot, but have no USB connection.
Is this a hardware error? Did I mess up something at some point? What else can I do (except putting it into the recycling bin)?
Thanks for your help in advance

So, i got a second hand mi 5 last week. Seller told me that it had software issue and I thought I could fix it. Because it was really cheap.
The device was stuck on bootloop when I had it. But I was able to open mi recovery and fast boot menus. i tried many options to flash a stable stock rom. The most useful one was to flash via XiaomiTool v2. It says successfully flashed and reboots but stuck on bootloop every time. (Tried few times already).
the bootloader is locked and no mi accounts binded to the device. Computer detects the device successfully.
I tried adb commands as well, but since bootloader is locked i couldn't get any further to flash or wipe.
Any useful suggestions?
Can you still access to fastboot mode?
If so, you need fastboot oem unlock to unlock bootloader first, before anything else.
