TWRP Bootloop after Batery Replacement - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hello.
I have an MI5 since three years and was very happy with it , but the battery needed replacement. So following the suggestions on this forum, I Bought a Nohon battery, the replacement procedure went well until the very last moment. Unfortunately the phone turned on before I put the two parts , the one on hthe upper side of the battery and the one below the battery. SO I turned it off (it went staight to TWRP) and put back all the parts and since the I am on a TWRP Bootloop. I tried to flush the of the custom roms I have downloaded preveosly (Revolution and xiaomi.eu) but no success.
I also tried to connect the phone to a PC (ubuntu, win7 , win10) but now success, it s simply is not recongized (xiaomi drivers installed)
So i dont even no how to put a fastboot rom as the phone is not recongized. Though I would first wanted to save the photos that i have on the phone. (Connecting to pc and enabling MTP from TWRP does not work).
SO i anyone could help me ...I am out of ideas.
Thanks

Only solution I can think of is putting your Mi5 in EDL mode using the PCB test point on the mainboard. However this method will delete all content.
To give you a fair warning: I would try this if I'm 5 minutes away from throwing away the phone - as kind of a last try before giving up.
I found a video tutorial showing the steps, however not in English:

The video will show how to operate the PCB test point at 4:30.
After that, you may use MiFlash tool to flash MIU ROM.

Well few days ago my phone just started normally and is working fine so far. i think though that the usb C plug might be damaged, as my phone is still not recognized by my PC.

USB not working right

Earlier today I was at my brother in laws house, was gonna copy some music from my phone to his computer (always have a usb cable in my car ). For some reason windows (vista) kept giving me unknown device and the option of mounting the sdcard never appeared.
I thought that was odd, never had the problem before, was short on time and didnt mess with it besides tryin to unplug and plug it back in. Well I get home and I see there is a new cyanogen build (a couple actually, mine is about 2 weeks old).
I plug in my phone with the normal usb cable I use and nothing. The phone charges (as it did on my brother in laws computer) but I the option to mount it doesnt come up on my phone. I dont see it in device manager and adb also cant find the device. USB debugging is turned on as well.
My only worry is that it is not a software problem because I got pretty drunk the other night and fell on my phone. The touchscreen is cracked a little but its just cosmetic damage, the phone has functioned 100% after that until now. Is there anything I can try here short of wiping and flashing my ROM again?
Tried searching but "sdcard mount issue" and other similar searches come up with pages and pages of unrelated stuff
Vista never sat well with my phone, ADB was a pain to get working and then, of course, I lose my data cable
But as far as that goes, I'm not even sure Vista works with the Android SDK, because I never got it to work. I was able to succesfully mount and unmount like it was a stock phone.
Your best bet is to, indeed, wipe and reflash. Use Cyan's recovery to make a backup and you can restore that after you sort things out with the sync'ing problems.
Well I have had the SDK working just fine, well adb and fastboot is all I have used on both my desktop and laptop.
Guess I will have to dig around for my adapter and give try giving it a wipe.
Well I just wiped and flashed the lastest cyanogen, before doing that I booted into recovery, hit the back button and it went into fastboot mode. I tried giving it the command to reboot, fastboot reboot, cmd prompt showed as it should be successful but it would never reboot.
I didnt think that was a good sign but I went ahead and wiped and flashed, same problem still persists. The sdcard worked fine in the adapter and both my ext3 and fat32 partition are working fine through the phone.
Anyone have any ideas? Would be nice if I didnt crack my screen, although its just cosmetic damage (phone functioned 100% for weeks now), I am pretty sure that will void my warranty if the phone were still under warranty.
This problem isn't huge, would like to be able to use adb again and not have to turn my phone off and use the adapter if I want to flash a new ROM.
Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers in Windows?
It isn't showing up in device manager (only way I know to uninstall the drivers).
I think it has to be a hardware issue though, tried multiple computers, couple of different usb cables, wiped and flashed a different rom. Guess it's time to call up asurion

Lumia 710 bricked. Any help?

Ok guys,
as the title says Lumia 710 is bricked.
It had last factory update and everything was working fine. Then i had to mess with it and to try to install Rataplan V9.1.
The process was working ok. By default, bootloader was in DLOAD mode, so in order to install custom ROM i needed to upgrade to Qualcomm. I have upgraded it and installed Rataplan .nb rom to the phone with NSSPro V0.54.
This is when my problems start.
The phone starts with one long vibration followed after few seconds with one short virbtation and thats it. No screen, no system, zip!
When i try to connect it again by usb to check it with NSSPro, it always starts in NAND disk mode. It does not matter do i start it normally on power button or with volume up. Its always in NAND. And it is always stuck. While the phone is connected to USB i can see Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM device in device manager but it has yellow mark like the driver is not installed.
I have tried several other roms, and NSS always shows that the rom is successfully installed, but the phone (other than vibration and NAND mode) is dead.
I have also tried all the solutions i could find on the net but no help. Tried, nokia recovery tool, WP recovery tool, Chimera e.t.c. Nothing works. Now i have a problem with NSS. It keeps stucking and beeing unresponsive for every option except Custom OS flash. Whatever else i click it either says tha phone is not detected or the app stucks and shuts itself down.
Is there other tool i can try?
Can i do anything to recover this phone or did i kill it?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Well that sucks and it sucks no one has tried to help here. I'm fair with Android but too new to WP's to probably be much help. Can you pull the battery out of the phone? Might pull it and leave it out a couple minutes then retry. You also might try from a different computer in case something has gone wrong on your computer in terms of port communication or maybe even a virus of some sort. Good luck.

Tried allready every solution that i could find or think of, including things You described. Nothing. I was left with no other option but to send phone to service. They have a box unit with which they should be able to recover phone.
That was 2 days ago. today is third day so i am thinking that my phone has gone beyond repair. Only thing i can do is to wait and see...
Why not...?
Why not send it in real life to a windows phone expert. There should be a place to get phones repaired But, if they say that it isn't possible for them you may have rendered your phone useless. Google should be your mighty friend in this case :crying: I wish you very good luck.

Xiaomi redmi 4 not connect to pc

Hello,
First of all send a greeting to everyone since I am new to the forum.
I explain the problem to see if someone can help me.
I have a xiaomi redmi 4 ( sorry if my phone is not the 4a, but I cant find that model in the menu) with "fake" rom from the Chinese store. I know because the version ends in 0.0.
The problem is that when you connect the phone to the PC it does not do anything, it just charge (previously it worked well and the pc recognized it, also going out in the curtain the options to select load, mtp, etc.
I have tried several things and nothing works.
Probe activating usb debuging, with the app usb settings (which seems to open those options but quickly closes and the screen goes blank) and more different things but nothing worked, still only charging.
In the device manager it does not appear, neither as a connected device or as a connected device but without the drivers (I have the drivers well because before it worked correctly).
It all started when the battery stopped charging correctly, the battery charged very slowly. With the ampere app you can see that the charhe was very weak, no more than 100mah. Clean the usb port, probe with other cables and chargers, other pc but nothing to charge faster as usual.
Then I decided to restore the phone to factory but continued the same, charging very slow.
Later I decided to put a global rom using miflash with mode edl ( the bootloader is closed), but the phone never entered in that mode. Use the technique of power + vol + and vol- and I got it right. In the device manager I recognized it correctly (with the correct name that usually say in the guides for this type of operations), but miflash told me it was not connected.
Also use the adb commands (also recognized the mobile without problems, leaving the id of the device, but when using the abd reboot command, but the phone do not entering in edl mode, the phone restarted normarlly, even with some .bat that does the same thing also restarts in normal mode instead of edl.
For all of this operations the pc always detect the phone correctly, only the charge was extremely slow.
My surprise came when a few days ago I tried to remove the fake rom of the Chinese store and put the global, but the pc (mine and others more than probe) did not detect the phone, just charged me.
I think the problem is not physical, because if I plug in a mouse by otg, it works correctly, which makes me think that the data pins are going correctly.
I hope I have given all the detail that is needed in case someone can help me. If not, please tell me what else I can contribute.
Many thanks in advance to those who can help and greetings.
PD: sorry for my english
If in other computers donĀ“t work, probably its the port that is damaged and you should replace it. You can find some in aliexpress..

Question HELP - Bootloop into Recovery without any attempt to flash

Hey, everybody!
I got a problem and hope to find help in here:
I recently got my Mi 11 Ultra (12GB / 512GB) from Tradingshenzhen. I bought an unmodified chinese version. After setting up my phone a few days ago the only things I did was changing the language of the Play Store using Morelocale 2 and deleting 2-3 (really unnecessary) apps using ADB. I didn't flash anything, didn't unlock the bootloader or didn't even start the unlocking process.
Everything worked fine for a 2-3 days now. Tonight I realized that the phone was off. As I was thinking that the battery was empty (there was a message a while before that the battery was low) I connected the phone to the charging cable and did a long press on the power button trying to turn it on. I put the phone aside and went to bed.
Today in the morning I took the phone and saw that it was obviously in some kind of menu I hadn't seen before. It says " Main Menu MIUI Recovery 5.0". There are three options: reboot, wipe data and connect to MiAssistant. When I am choosing "reboot" the phone tries to reboot but ends up in Recovery Mode again. And again. And again.
How is this possible? Anyone knows what happened here? As I said...I didn't flash any ROM or opened the bootloader.
Unfortunately there is one photo on the device that I need and haven't uploaded to any cloud yet.
Thanks in advance!
Can't see any other options that will work without losing that photo.....
Maybe an expert could help you but I'm not sure you will be able to reflash yourself without Data wipe....
Thanks!
I actually wiped the data and reset the phone. Works now again but the photo is lost.
There is a way to retrieve data from a board but it involves taking the whole phone apart , which is risky, and connecting a couple of wires to some points on the circuit board....
Not for the feint of heart and I haven't seen it done yet on this model but there's a YouTube video of it being done on an older xiaomi phone....
