it seem like all available stock roms arent compatible with QFIL/QPST... does anyone have an idea how I can get out of this bootloop and flash the stock rom?

i'm little bit confused about unlocking the bootloader on an mi5 device. I read somewhere that it's not needed if you use the updater app on the phone. i think this is only true for official rom's which came from en.miui.com it self?
can i use the updater app if i want to install the official en.miui.com 8 global rom without unlocking the bootloader?
if i want to install an xiaomi.eu rom, i will have to unlock the bootloader first?
does root on an official rom need an unlocked bootloader too?
there are more then one way to flash an rom on an mi5 device, updater app, fastboot and miflash tool, twrp(which is not preinstalled i mean?). but i read something about an edl mode, but cant find out what this does mean? is this maybe the fastboot and miflash tool mode?
many thanks!
best regards

Hello there,
what ROM are you running currently? Broadly speaking, you have 2 tools to change the ROM on Your device: the updater app and Fastboot (miflash uses fastboot too, and twrp requires fastboot to be installed). The updater app allows you only to upgrade your current ROM to the newest version. Fastboot (and the related tools) allow you to change ROM completely (e.g. switching from China Stable to China Dev or from China Stable to Global Stable or from China Stable to miui.eu Stable), and will also allow you to root your device through TWRP. To use fastboot, however, you will need to unlock Your bootloader.
Regarding EDL mode, it is the Miui stock recovery mode, which can be used together with the Xiaomi desktop application to flash new ROMs. It is not a widely used method, because the desktop app is quite buggy.
hello
many thanks for your replay.. i'm currently on miui 8, the global alpha version, so i already do an flash.. your answer is toop, again thanks for that!! but there are some new questions, edl is the miui stock recovery mode, does this mean the recovery as i know it already in a form from recovery.img? if i also want root i will have to flash twrp, this would then mean that the miui stock recovery (edl) wouldn't work anymore? so if i want to go back to an official global rom, do i need to flash the stock miui recovery first? the way to do that would be through fastboot? where can i get the stock miui recovery?
have an nice day!
Hi guys,
I tried to flash eu rom throught twrp but when flash start the phone reboots and stuck at mi logo.Can someone help me?I flash international stock rom with miflash and it succeed..I really need to flash eu rom.
Thx in advance
Even I had no luck using twrp for MIUI Roms. I guess they don't support twrp
It has to be via their stock recovery or via fastboot.
U said u installed international rom, so what is the issue?
Can I use TWRP flash stock ROM ?
Thanks
No you can't. It'll brick your phone. But there's a custom TWRP maybe called ZSL or something else which can flash stock ROM and bypass the security option.

The recovery is zcx to be correct. I'd like to say that i already updated miui rom with twrp, all i did was downloading recovery rom from miui site and use the updater app included in miui rom. The only downside is i lost twrp and root but flash them after upgrade and everything was back to normal!!
I have the LOS ROM installed and while I love it, I love wifi calling even more.
TWRP is installed. Is it possible to flash the stock ROM with TWRP?
I searched....
I don't see why not. Then again I haven't used twrp is years.
I was able to flash a rom based of the stock rom, very easy
Has anyone here tried flashing miui recovery rom using the newly developed TWRP for Mi 11 and succeeded? I want to know if i can flash stable beta roms through this TWRP, but i read some people said cant flash roms yet. I know that we can do it through MiFlash but if we can do it through this TWRP it will be one step closer to flashing custom recovery roms
