Mi5 dead! please some ideas!

Hi all,
I going to tell you the complete story and any ideas orsuggestions will be appreciated.
I bought my mi5 in July. It came with a fake ROM but Ichanged it to OFFICAL GLOBAL STABLE .
Since then, I used the device perfectly fine, and follow theMIUI forum regularly.
Then in November I applied for betatesting Team and theyaccepted me. As my bootloader was still locked, I tried option one from abovetutorial, so I directly downloaded in my phone the GLOBAL DEV ROM and Ichoosing the package I started using Nougat for about a month, more or less.
Then, the tragedy happened. I was in a bar, having my phonein my trousers back pocket, and I set down that way. One minute, no more. Thephone´s battery was around 70%. When I realized I quickly took it but it wasnot able to turn on… Nothing pressing power volume + or any combination… I came home and let it charging all night (wallcharger) and nothing the morning after.
I tried to connect it to my PC but nothing happened in the screen,but pressing Power Volume+ the Windowsdevice Manager recognized it as “Android phone”, so after reading some threads about bootloader issues I decidesto flash it. I requested permission and then flashed it with the latest CHINADEV version. The flashing was completed, but the phone still not turningon. NEXT STEP: Local Technical Service.
They had my phone during a week. They tried to change thescreen, nothing, the battery nothing, and I don’t know which other tests theyperformed but they called me back to tell they were not able of doing nothing.
Having the phone back at home, now I was not able to get thePC seeing it as Android phone again. Nothin. Desperate me, I continued to read in internet and found in XDA a video where basically, you open the phone (remove back, and some screws),short two pins, and the PC is able to see it through the Qualcomm USB driversin EDL mode. Then flashing IS POSSIBLE. That is true. I am able to flashing,and I have tried CHINAs, GLOBAL, older ROMs about a dozen. Always the flash processsucceed, but the phone still not turning on.
After flashing I let the phone the whole night plugged inthe PC usb. Nothing
Now is plugged again to the wall charger, but nothing.
There are many threads with different solutions, so guys,please, anyone with a good idea to try??
Many Many thanks in advanced

Read this and
Use only the versions mentioned

this device is just a chinese junk i regret bought it , just after 2 days i bought it got hard bricked .
anyway flash 7.2.4 and if phone didnt boot use 3 button ( up + down + power ) for 1 minute or more and it must boot , it did work for me .

I just got brick yesterday and followed those instructions. It really worked. I was finally able to flash china dev 6.11.10. Latest dev said just "missed hello packet".
MiFlash version 2016.04 and china dev 6.11.10 was right combination for me. I connected Mi5 to PC while pressing vol- and power buttons, then I released them. I opened miflash, selected rom and chose "flash all". Flashing was completed. I tried to power on my phone pressing power button but nothing. But when I pressed vol- and power, I was able to get to fastboot mode. Rest is history. I flashed TWRP, booted to it and flashed LineageOS again.
Hope it works for you too!

Yup..it's weird thing...i suspect there's a hardware issue too..
But anyway..did you already tried to flashing fastboot rom with QFIL (qualcomm tool) too..?, if not yet..just try it..you can follow tutorial from this youtube here , just bypassing the step for installing any driver if your phone already detected as qualcomm port in your pc.
I try this method to get back my friend Mi4c from dead with condition like this too..just edl or qualcomm port while connect in device manager, then after flashing with this tool..i've try to power on with vol up + power and repeatedly vol down method above..then mi logo appear.
Hope your phone get back turn on soon..

You can try this official global stable fastboot rom that's still based android 6.0 here
If above direct link doesn't work..just visit this link , then choose "Xiaomi Mi5 Global Stable or China Stable Version Fastboot File Download..
If getting error while flashing..just put extracted folder of fastboot rom in the root of your system..ie C:\[folder_fasboot_rom]

Hi all,
After a million tests, now the phone is able to go to fastboot mode easly just pressing power&volume- (even having a black screen...) Any idea to see if this is still worth to fight?
Regards!

Just try typing command "fastboot oem device-info" to see the status of your bootloader...is it still at unlocked or already relocked..?
If still at unlocked state..you can flashing fastboot rom with miflash tool.
Anyway what about QFIL method above that i said before..?, any change happen after flashing with this tool..?

3: download the latest dev rom from here: http://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fu...ni&b=X&r=cn&n=
4: Extract the files to C:\
5: Open MiFlash & point the folder to the root ROM folder, example: C:\gemini_foo_bar, NOT C:\gemini_foo_bar\images
6: connect your phone & select flash all (1st option from the left, bottom of MiFlash tool)
This might take a few tries (example - you might receive "missed hello packets)
Once you're done, you can stay with the China Dev, unlock the bootloader & flash a xiaomi.eu rom, or CM.
Good luck.

Locked Tiffany bootloader, stucked in bootloop after flashed in edl mode

Hi, I m fighting the last days trying to resurrect my mi 5x and I need any kind of tips, advice, inputs you can give
The whole story begun when my phone fell down a few days ago (not sure if it affected the whole situation). The phone after the fall was working normally(for a few hours) but later that day the battery depleted and it switched off. After I plugged it in the charger I tried to open it and it was in a weird mode. I could reach the white screen with the white logo of android and it stuck there for hours. I decided to flash it with a new rom and everything went south.
I will explain in steps all the attempts I have tried:
1) The bootloader was unlocked but it didn't leave me to flash the official Tissot rom that I had downloaded so I reboot my phone through fastboot cmb in edl mode and then with the Miflash tool I flashed the Tissot stock rom. v.9.6.4.0.
2) The phone hard bricked and I realized that I made a big mistake by flashing a rom from a different bootloader. ( I also realized at that point that I bought the phone with a custom A1 rom with a Tiffany bootloader).
3) I disassembled my phone and I put it in edl mode by using the test points and then I flashed it with a stock Tiffany rom by using Mi flash tools.
4) The phone was in a bootloop after the flash finished.
5) No actions could be made through fastboot and recovery because now the bootloader was locked.
6) After this, I tried several times flashing (in edl mode each time) all the stock Tiffany versions I could find online (stable or beta).
7) Every time after the flashing was done I was turning on the phone and it was again in bootloop.
8) At some point also I tried to side load an update of one of the tiffany's recovery rom (stable and beta) and I was getting an error that the rom is illegal and again bootloop.
The biggest problem is that I can' t unlock the bootloader through xiaomi unlock tool because the device was hardbricked and now my mi account is not bound with the device. If you can answer any of the following questions or if you have any idea you will save me!!!
1) Is there any way to unlock the bootloader?
2) Is there any reasonable explanation of why I am in a boot loop after flashing it with the proper tiffany fastboot rom?
3) Is by any chance the fall that the phone had before anything happen to affect the whole situation?
4) Is there any other way to flash a rom with locked bootloader?
Thank you very much!!!

Please help me revive my dead K20 pro! :(

Hey guys, I’ve purchased a k20 pro 6/128 variant here in Trinidad and Tobago from Let’s Talk phone company which imports phones and sell it here in Trinidad and Tobago. No one else sells the device here in my country.
When I opened my phone and started using it, I saw that it was the fake global rom which was installed on it. So I came onto here to try to flash the china firmware on it, which I did. After flashing the firmware on it, i installed twrp and wiped everything, data + cache + Dalvik Cache + System, then I flashed the EU firmware on it. After successfully flashing it I flashed magisk and some modules on it, and the phone worked GREAT! Then one day while using it the phone just shut down just like that and never booted back up. It stayed on the boot screen and did nothing!
So I tried reflashing the Chinese firmware with miflash, but this time I Accidentally RELOCKED bootloader, but when I first purchased the phone, the bootloader was already UNLOCKED. Miflash successfully flashed the chinese firmware v10.3.8.0 and the phone booted. I was RELIEVED! But after using it for a while, the phone started freezing! And their was a problem with the front camera! Somehow my front camera won't open properly, it kept saying "Can't open front camera, please calibrate".
And when I press Calibrate, popup cam goes up and down 3 times in a row and says "Can't calibrate".
So I went and request to unlock the bootloader and waited 168 hours, and in that 168 hours I left the phone untouched because it kept crashing and never boot back up unless if I go into recovery and wipe data. So I left the phone untouched for a whole week! Yesterday the waiting period came to an end and FINALLY I unlocked the bootloader! When I opened back up miflash I ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED BOOTLOADER AGAIN!!!! :’( Now Mi unlock is saying that I need to wait 30 DAYS TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER BEFORE I CAN TRY TO FIX MY PHONE AGAIN! Please help me. Is there any way to flash the firmware on a locked bootloader? i dont care which firmware it is, once my phone is working again.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated!

Only solution is to enter to edl mode by test point but its too risky or to get a mi account with edl authorization, wait till the end of 30 days and dont make the same error for 3 time.

I forgot to mention, after using miflash the last time, i flashed the indian global firmware on it using Miflash. The phone wont boot up past the recovery mode. It says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" in red. Tried wiping data but same results.

You have to unlock the bootloader and it will work again

1.Go to fastboot. try flash latest chineese fastbootrom.
doesnt work?
Then you only have choice for EDL mode flash.
But edl mode requires authentification anyway which in most case you do not own..
we need something solid edl flash method.. this is common&biggest xiaomi problem

Here are the list of things i've tried thus far:
1- Tried flashing china fastboot rom 10.3.8.0 with Miflash. No luck.
2- Tried unlocking bootloader with Mi unlock. Have to wait the 30 day period.
3- Tried unlocking bootloader with fastboot commands. Didn't work.
4- Tried flashing LR twrp and unofficial twrp, No luck as well.
I've sent an Email to [email protected] couple hours ago. Waiting to hear from them.
As for edl mode, i've no idea what it is or how to even start. If someone can guide me as to what to do, i'll try it. Appreciate all the feedback and help from y'all

I dont know how you can flash indian rom with locked bootloader.
Now there is only one method for you, open the back cover of the fone, do test point method, flash china fastboot firmware and unlock again.

EDL mode will not work untill you have a EDL Authorized account
I had already tried and it was a bad idea to open the back cover just stick with unlocking bootloader
EDL test point will not work because xaiomi made because no body should buy Chinese Varient phone and flash global rom ,and I don't understand exactly why xaiomi did this with EDL and bootloader

Opened up the back of my phone, found the edl mode test point, miflash recognizes the device and begins flashing then i get this error "cannot receive hello packet"

i said to you,i had faced the same issue,only unlocking the bootloader will help you
or you can try chinese mi pc suite,with english translator but you have to flash chinese recovery rom,
but im not sure it will work ,in my case it didnt work because it had base rom of indian varient
actually chinese and indian k20 pro are not the same
for example indian k20 pro dont have NFC
but chinese varient have nfc

Did you complete the flash ？and start the phone into miui? If there have some picture, it is best.
---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------
I have some ideas but I have not verified them. You can try to replace the recovery.img in china firmware for twrp and then fastboot flash on edl mode。if it can be done， dnot star it just into twrp and formatted data.
I will test this method on my old mi5 a little later.

To fix the front camera problem you'll have to flash the persist.img file of the 10.3.8 into the persist partition. It worked for me several times.
I accidentaly lock my bootloader, too, but I was able to unlock it right away

Don't worry mate, I had the same issue.
See this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/destroyed-error-fastboot-locked-t3946012
I got mine fixed, you just need someone with an authorised account to help you out.
You got this far! You are almost there! trust me.

Thanks guys. I messaged the guy. Let's see if this works

MI A2 Black screen

Hi guys!
May I know if anybody here experienced black screen ? Screen has no image to display. Backlight is working, Led light is working when charging, fingerprint vibrates as well when A2 is turned on. I have tried replacing LCD display but black screen persists. What do you think is the problem?
Sent from my Mi 9 SE using Tapatalk

I have the same problem!!!! I try flash rom again but it persists

Yesterday it happened to me also.
The phone is working, the touch is working, but the lcd is black.
I even managed to recieve a call. Tried to restart the phone but its still black screen with working touch.
I can't find any solution...

Anybody found a solution??
My MI A2 is in black screen after updated to Wayne V11.0.6.0.PDCCNXM 20200509.
Tried to flash again, the screen didn't even turned on anymore, then used an UNBRICK WAYNE XIAOMI MI6X and it's back to black screen, been like this for 4 days now, should I start looking for a new phone? :crying:
Serial number: 23e3c4ee
Codename: wayne
Bootloader: locked
Anti version: 4
ROM: Wayne V11.0.6.0.PDCCNXM 20200509.
When I flash the ROM again, takes 100, 200 seconds only, and didn't change anything.

stop stressing . you have ARB4 so just flash a custom rom ...or flash only the LASTEST STOCK ROM ...you didn't listen and tried to flash another think ...so your phone went to hardbrick edl mode
your phone is fine it is just in a timeout edl mode
the only way to fully rescue it is by physically forcing testpoint then flashing LATEST FASTBOOT STOCK ...this time listen or stay on black screen

Already did it and gets worse, if I flash the latest fastboot Stock ROM really becomes a brick, to de point of not even the screen turns on and stay on edl mode forever.

because you are trying to downgrade
what you need to do is flash the LATEST chinese fastboot stock rom of Wayne or it will never work
you need to flash it with edl and miflash ( LATEST BETA)
you keep on thinking you can flash any stock rom but you can't ......
if you try to flash any stock rom older than the last stock rom you flashed it will never boot and keep going back to edl blackscreen
if you DON'T open your phonr and short the test point miflash will timeout or give errors and device wont boot
open your phone with screwdriver and flash the VERY latest chinese fastboot rom with latest miflash beta

what you need to do is flash the LATEST chinese fastboot stock rom of Wayne or it will never work
you need to flash it with edl and miflash ( LATEST BETA)
you keep on thinking you can flash any stock rom but you can't ......
if you try to flash any stock rom older than the last stock rom you flashed it will never boot and keep going back to edl blackscreen
if you DON'T open your phonr and short the test point miflash will timeout or give errors and device wont boot
open your phone with screwdriver and flash the VERY latest chinese fastboot rom with latest miflash beta

What a heck are you talking about?
Already did everything with Mi flash, forced edl mode by point test, saw like 300 tutorials, for Mi A2, Mi 6x.
What I needed was a verified Mi account to unlock and flash with no problems

well if you had followed any of mine or listened carefully to what I'm telling you , your device would have booted already ... but continue in the same manner since you think my help is gibberish .
you don't need an account to flash your device ...

I already did, tried all the tutorials from 2018 to last month. The phone bootloader is locked and for some reason I can't unlock it, tried a dozen of different approaches, recovery's, flashings, ADB and everything.
Always ends in two ways, black screen with back light on (some sounds work and keeps in the lock login screen) or dead stuck in permanent EDL mode.

My phone still not working. Maybe its because of the busted display IC.

Mi9 Global - Accidentally locked bootloader and stock in recovery/fastboot

Hi,
Recently purchased a Mi 9 Global version, got the OTA update to MIUI 11, and everything was well. It is a superb phone, but I like to have root on my phones (mostly for Adblocking and System2, better control overall). I tried to install TWRP (custom version for Mi9) because I wanted to install Magisk/Root or try a different rom eventually. Anyway... I made a huge mistake. After trying to reboot, I noticed things had gone wrong, and was stuck in a boot loop. I guess I panicked and tried to flash the phone back to the latest global MIUI rom (Version 11, Android 10, from official site), using the Xiaomi Flash App but I did not uncheck the "clean and lock bootloader" checkbox on the bottom right of the app, which is somehow enabled by default. The flash failed at that time, for unknown reason, but it seems like it succeeded in locking my bootloader, with an empty partition, except for fastboot access and Mi Recovery module. I have to admit I've always been pretty lucky with all my previous flashes on other devices, and I guess I got a little careless. That was pretty stupid of me, in retrospect.
Since then, I am stuck in either Mi Recovery or Fastboot, and it seems that my originally Global Mi 9 with unlock bootloader has now a locked bootloader. Any attempt at either using the Xiaomi Flash utility gives me an error message ("Erase boot error"), and if I boot into Fastboot and try to flash TWRP, I get the "Remote:Erase is not allowed in Lock State" error.
From what I understand, my options are pretty limited now. The phone is still powered on, stuck in Recovery mode and rebooting every 5 or 10 minutes by itself (probably a way to avoid screen burn-in?), but I can't seem to be able to shut it down in anyway, as there are no fastboot commands to send a shutdown signal. And no matter what button combination I press, the phone always ends up rebooting.
I tried the Xiaomi Unlocker utility, but it needs the phone to be out of recovery to check the credentials binding the phone to my account. All data on the phone has been wiped already, so that's not an option. Two options I have seen :
1. Open the battery cover (required a heat gun and risky), to short some pins and try to flash while there is a short to circumvent the security. I'm not that brave yet, and since the phone is still running and has probably about 80% battery, I don't want to use a heat gun on the device.
2. Shady stuff involving paying 30 or 40 Euros to a random guy who can somehow make everything work magically by remotely logging in on my computer via Teamviewer (Not happening in a million years).
I'm wondering if there is an alternative, other than bringing the device to an official Xiaomi store (I'm in Bangkok and they do have one official shop at Fortune Town), but even then, I don't know if they'll just tell me I got myself an expensive paperweight.
Any help/insight regarding this issue would be much, much appreciated!

Have you tried to press and hold power+vol down when your device reboots? Just before it turns on.

Every possible combination on reboot will either bring me to Fastboot or Mi Recovery. I have wiped the data partition, there is no OS on the phone as of now.

So xiaomi unlock utility can't unlock bootloader in fastboot?
May be try to use xiaomitool v2.

Xiaomitool V2 is completely useless. The "My phone is bricked" option is not implemented, and I cannot boot into the OS, unfortunately.

To enter fastboot mode, long press the volume down key and the power key. Then unlock bootloader with Xiaomi app.

I have managed to enter fastboot mode, as described in my initial post. The problem is that when I try to flash, I get the following error: "Flashing not allowed in lock state".

Yep, but it has unlock option in the normal mode and it use scripts made by tool developer, so it worth to try.

From what I understand, the "normal mode" needs the tool to be able to access the OS while it's running. I don't have an OS. I will give it a shot tomorrow (3 AM here, exhausted, and don't want to boot into Windows again!), but my hopes are not so high. Anyway, thanks for the help, much appreciated! Will let you know what happens! Cheers!

Unfortunately, this is not true. I have downloaded an old version of Mi Unlock (2.2.406.5), which is supposed to work with Fastboot mode. The result is "Couldn't unlock --> Please download the latest version". And the latest version needs to access the OS to verify the Mi account credentials. I don't have an OS installed. So this won't work. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I came across this Mi8 thread, not sure if it's possible on the Mi9, but he seems to have been able to flash it through EDL mode, you might ask him the question: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi-8-bricked-from-nowhere.55723/#post-543605
There's also this Mi9 thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/unbrick-mi9-bootloader-locked-destroyed-t3924966
