Mi5 bricked ... no LED / no Recovery / no Fastboot / no signs of Life !!!

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.

Solution for Hard Bricks (Blocked Bootloader; hs qdloader 9008)

Hi guys!
I saw that a lot of people faced same problem as me (hard brick hs qdloader 9008) after blocking the bootloader. After several days of trying find help with Realme, service centers and on the forums I found in one of the thread here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82466297&postcount=5) guy who unlocked my phone (have acess to MSM Download Tool) through the TeamViewer. Maybe that would be helpful for people who lost any hope to recover their phones. They charged me 35$ for that. Recovery work took about 10 minutes.
Best wishes, Sergey.

Prog Emmc Firehose.mbn for Mi 9t pro?

My phone is bricked. No fast boot, no safe boot, it is completely unresponsive.
After trying everything with the Mi Flash tool, and after wasting days and days of time,
I decided to try to go for the Qfil procedure and to do so I need the Prog Emmc Firehose.mbn for the snap dragon 855.
Could anybody help me by giving me a link to it?
I will post the procedure if I will solve the problem without taking the smartphone to a xiaomi center.

I've not yet heard of anyone ever fixing this phone using that method. Only solution I'm aware of is to try EDL flashing, which unfortunately means a service centre or finding someone with an authorised account.

When the PC does not recognize the device, there're few reasons for that. And doing the testpoint trick is the last you should try. But since u already opened the device, use QFIL to flash the stock into the device. For Xiaomeme devices which released from 2020 till now, yes, you must have Authenicated Mi acc in order to flash in EDL mode. But Raphael is released in 2019, then you still can do it, only that even u don't need Auth Mi Acc, but still need an Auth firehose prog in order to flash, and luckily, this can be more easier to find.
So, let's hope that your device is not ded as in ........ ded ))))))))))))))))))

Question Mi 11 ultra Dead after upgrade to MIUI13

Hi All,
I received an update notification yesterday on my China Market device with Global ROM and I immediately downloaded the update to MIUI13. I had 60% battery when the download finished and after downloading it did an app optimization. After that, I hit the reboot button with 58% battery. The device turned off and since then the device is literally not showing any sign of life. it doesn't charge or show up in the ADB devices list. My MBP doesn't recognize USB in the devices list. What is the best option I have? From threads, it doesn't sound like a brick or EDL mode to me but should I still contact the EDL guy?
Just an update. I was using Macbook to test if the device is alive. MacBook Pro doesn't show any updates when you connect a new device. I plugged USB into a Windows machine installed on my Bootcamp, Windows recognized the device as Qualcomm 9008. Which is effectively in EDL mode. I have no idea how the device got into that mode but my assumption is that I had TWRP installed with BL open and when going from Android 11 to Android 12 via MIUI13, something called anti-rollback protection which was implemented by Xiaomi put the phone into EDL mode. Luckily, I am in the UK and got in touch with Xiaomi after sales, they agreed to repair it because the issue was caused by a software update.
Lesson Learned: Never update your phone via OTA to a newer android version without taking a proper backup. A really bad experience with Xiaomi. it cost me one day to try to fix and will be costing me some time to install everything back after the repair. I am seriously thinking to buy an iPhone now.

I dont think its about anti-rollback function
That function only affect when u try to flash from higher miui version back to lower version. It will not allow u to do that
In your case, it 's all about xiaomi software problem :| and it is unacceptable problem

Well, finally I got in touch with the EDL guy and he fixed it smoothly. I literally had to go through a lot of documents and websites to understand the problem but he fixed it in 10 minutes. I think he is using some sort of cracked miFlashTool where he interferes with the communication between the phone and Xiaomi servers and bypasses authorization issues. I think many people are having problems at that point when following the EDL operation explained on the internet. Anyways, fixed it fairly easily and cheaply.

That's very strange. Why first update led to brick
By Global eu rom you mean EEA or Xiaomi.eu ROM?
p.s. I know at least one Mi 11 ultra and one Mi 11 faced the same issue

my fastboot is locked and my brain 2 is locked dont know hat to do anymore
If you can get to fastboot, you can flash the original stock ROM. Plenty of instructions here and on the Xiaomi EU forums. You only need edl if you cannot get to fastboot.

You cannot flash anything in fastboot if bootloader is locked
In that case, you will need an edl flash to recover. But be careful that he doesn't leave it with an edl account permission or you won't be able to unlock without that edl account. Although I thought you could flash the original stock firmware that it came with back on with it locked.
Hi, i have same problem after try to flash Miui 13. But The MIflash tool shows error:sw path is not valid, have not found solution for this error message. How can I Get in contact with the EDl Guy.. I have a Mi 11 Pro
Reminds my about the new released Samsung galaxy S22 series, lots of problems for some weeks now_
It´s so frustrating that the update caused this. It´s now the first time for me to solve this problem. But I have so many other issues that I don´t have the time for this. I´ve read some threads where some persons have written about people who can unbrick it online. This would be right now my first choice. Could somebody help me where I can contact someone for help please.

im sending you link now who to contact and this is not spam
Hello same here - I guess flashed wrong version from EEA instead of EU of Android 11 - all went good but then I allowed OTA updates and finally update to MUI13 I had a brick.
Now I am in contact with one EDL guy but not certain he is legit. Can you send me PM for your contact?
I'm planning on purchasing this phone but things like this one makes me worried. Is there a risk to update the eu stable firmwares from fastboot with bootloader unlocked?
If you know how to do it, no risk.
