My mi5 is stuck on this screen.
I have access to TWRP on the mi5.
It has unlocked bootloader.
Adb and mi drivers are installed.
Have access to OTG.
Can anyone kindly guide me through the simplest process here?
For recovering my phone do I have to flash global stable/developer necessarily?
I had global developer previously (miui9) to which I flashed TWRP successfully but when I was flashing the SuperSU zip, it got stuck here.
Kindly help me fix this and tell me what I did wrong to get softbricked.
I know it's in bad condition lol, I drove over it and then bought a new phone so decided to experiment with it.
Sadly it's he hardest phone to root/recover I've ever encountered.
I've played with Samsung Galaxy Alpha/Few Sony Ericsson phones and a spare Gionee M5 lite, even though they had less support I figured them out pretty easily.

Most common and important way of bricking device and to avoid it is UNCHECKING "CLEAN ALL AND LOCK" option in Flashtool.
The rest you can always flash the fastboot ROM with Flashtool to restore it if bricked. Otherwise you can flash K20 Pro ROM in Mi 9T pro no problem.

Follow the instructions and everything is gonna be all right. First time I recommend you to watch some YouTube tutorials like "how to install a custom ROM" or something like that
Hello, I'm new to "MI" or "MIUI" world in general.
Ok, I'm an advanced user, but not a dev. And I bought this phone for my Sister (61 year old).
I don't want to unlock it and oblige her to make manual updates just for the sake of TWRP full back-ups.
I just wish to provide my sister a hassle free smartphone and provide her some help.
And the first is getting original USB and adb drivers for use on her PC.
Unfortunately, I cannot find any "official" redmi or xiaomi site where to download these !
In a frenzy I don't get, there seems to be a lot of sites and pages where one can download "so-called official things" ...
Please help me enter this Chinese World of thinking AND find a trustable site for downloading trustable drivers, stock apps, such as MiFlash, etc. !
;-)
For drivers I personally would recommend this post.Post by fawazahmed0

The miui software isn't very difficult to understand.
Mi by itself doesn't provide loots off software basically the community provides since the start of xiaomi the goodies.The rest it's android 10
The red mi isn't the big flagship of xiaomi/red mi.So updates and roll out of android 11 will take time.
Mi pcsuite you can try it but most have connection problems.
Mi flash is a stable and nice software especially when things go wrong.make sure windows recognise your phone in fastboot mode.
There are plenty off software back up around on the web.
Roms you can find on mi.com
Something to look in to search for how to remove bloatware on xiaomi phones.
Bloatware removal tool.
Forums: this one offcourse
Mi community xiaomi forum(APK also available)
xiaomi.eu/communityy.
I been a mi fan from the start .The last year's what is holding me back is the miui software with bloatware ware .So yes I run on root and removed a lot off apps.but that's just my thoughts.
My thoughts read post off driver install with working flashboot to.

Do you need help with your MERLIN device ?
Read this FAQ: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...for-merlin-redmi-10x-4g-redmi-note-9.4225177/
Hi everybody, Im having my second LOS phone and I`m still not entirly sure what I do,
First was s7 edge I manage follow instructions and I got LOS 18, second phone I bought was xaomi 4x with tisssot.
was plaing with that for some time, and on some party(drinking) I did soft reset I forgot password so after many fail attempt decide to delete cache (and most likely some more)to gain access, now telephone booting into fastboot.
Any advice, I dont have any one near me ho can help at this time.
I heard different drunk stories, but I definitely never heard a technical one. Hahah.
So if it booting to fastboot, then flash stock ROM of your device through it with MIUI flashtool. You can follow this guide.
You can find your device stock ROM here or here. Just be sure to download global if your device is global model and china if your device is chinese model. It's probably best if you download the latest stable release too.
Now obviously you can't recover data from the device unless you do a dirty flash, but do that on your own risk.
On a side note: Quit drinking, at least when fixing your device.
Goodluck.
Hi. On the start i want to apologize for any chaotic description i may give, or mistakes/unclear explanation since for first - english is not my native language and for second i'm terribly tired and depressed as a result of 2 days searching for informations how to solve my problem. Lets get to case.
Patient:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 (merlin), complete model "M2003J15SG", it have unlocked bootloader, no root, no custom recovery, probably no granted permisions for adb.
I'm not sure which version of rom it have at the moment i remember only that it was global.
Case:
Few days ago Xiaomi displayed notification about possible upgrade to MIUI 13. That was not the first update that i installed directly just by accepting it, so i decided to give it a go.
After that, my phone went to infinite bootloop (there is a mi logo with "powered by android" that stays there for minute, and then it reboots and situation repeats itself).
Recovery is not working (or i do it wrong -> power+ vol up, maybe it's damaged after this update) i cant get into fastboot either (power + vol down).
However when i connect to pc and press power + vol down windows makes sound of pluging and unpluging device few times (probably its a mode that i can flash it with new rom with flash tool).
If i can (probably) flash whole ROM then what is a problem? :
Main problem is, that i have there very important data there, especially text messages and there is no way i want to lose it.
To give you small tip why it is so important to me i will explain it with a bit of offtopic:
Inside of sms google app i have messages that contains crucial informations, like my ex employer incriminating messages, codes that gain me acess to meds in pharmacy, adresses and so on - i just can't lose it because at the end i could have a pretty big trouble about it, including my ex employer tring to make me a scapegoat for his own decisions in front of a law. End of offtop.
Expectations:
I've so far read that if i will have custom recovery, i would be able to make a backup of data inside of Redmi.
Then i would try to flash entire ROM, but important is that i will have that data backed up.
Since i'm not a master class when it comes to adb, flashing, and so on - i would like to ask you for help.
I mean i know how to flash rom or, unlock bootloader, or root - but i lack knowledge about subjects that matters in this particullar situation,
especially i dont know can i flash only recovery with flash tools, and if so - will it erase internal data,
where to get already prepared scatter and recovery, how to do it - i need extremaly step by step help, so i could understand it and do it.
Is it possible to flash only custom recovery with flashtools without erasing data, and if so - how?
Is it possible to flash ROM without data being erased - if so, how?
Is there any tool i should look into, or maybe when it cames to switching to recovery/fastboot i'm doing something wrong?
Is there ANY and i mean ANY way to or fix bootloop, or at least get custom recovery without permanently losing important data?
Warning:
If you need any more informations - let me know and i will post it.
I've searched with google for 2 days right now and i have no straight answer for a questions.
If i posted question that already was asked - i apologize, truly i am not able to be on highest level of my perception and thats why i would like you to explain things to me like for a 8 years old.
I would appreciate any form of help with a subject. Thank you in advance for a time, knowledge and answers.

Edited - you are right, that's not "Pro", but merlin still. And for sure not indian.
I've updated to MIUI 13 too and I lost all my data too.
I've inspected the problem.
After upgrade to MIUI 13, it modifies the encryption keys for decrypting contents.
So, if you didn't backup these keys, there is no possibility for recovering.

I think that i should at least try to access data since i've seen a lot of weird stuff that shouldnt work in some way, but did.
Would you be kind enough to tell me - is there a way to flash TWRP with flash tool in download mode without touching data partitions?
And if it is, can you explain to me how to do it or give me some link particullary to files for my model (recovery and scatter)?
This MIUI 13 update really surprised me in a bad way, it's even worse to hear i'm not the only one with that problem
