Mi5S bootloop after flash to 8.2.4.0MAGCNDL China Stable - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hello,
I tried to flash my phone from global 8.0.3.0 stable to 8.2.4.0MAGCNDL China Stable. Miflash said flashing was successfull, but then I started my phone and was on a bootloop.
I cannot access edl mode via deep flash cable anymore, it´s just loading. My phone isn´t unlocked that´s why i can´t flash over fastboot. I already tried to the recover mode and downloaded a chinese version of Mi Pc Suite. It detects my device but when I try to recover it switches for like 3 secs to the right screen but then immediately switchs back to the first screen (connect device).
One thing i´ve noticed is there is an option to choose a xiaomi ota file, what is that, because I can´t find anything.
Is there any hope for my phone?

Not good, you shouldent even try to flash china stable(you can but why). so, i think you should enter EDL with testpoints, or you can try do hard reset, maybe this will work.

use this method and then flash your mi5s with stable global.

Not working, it just stops immediatly the process, if I press recover

Then u need to connect the phone via USB 2 not 3 and install the correct driver's. The phone must be detected Android adb interface

I´ve installed all drivers and it´s connected to a usb 2 port. Phone is in Device Manager under "Kedacom USB Device/Android ADB Interface"

if you cannat connect the phone as edl,you should give it to mobile repaire center and they fix it with boot boxes for you.

Thanks for all your help guys, I finally recovered my phone and I´m on Lineage OS now.

In case the usb connection doesnt stick it means you have exchange mother board... i`ve been in the same shoes bro. Tried everything.. no luck.

I don't understand what do you mean by "USB" connects and disconnects? What do you see on screen after entering download mode?

After entering download mode, windows detects the phone, but after 1 sec it loses connection to the phone, in the K10 appears the normal download mode screen (after a little time, the phone reboots)

did you use the original USB cable of k10? try to use LGbridge instead since LGUP doesnt work perfectly with K10 because it so hard to find its DLL file. If you are using LGUP to flash use it with Uppecut Software to bypass its incompatibility issue search it in google and you will find it xda.

First you don't install twrp you just boot it from fastboot.
Other thing is that if you read any post in that thread you would see that everyone who tried to install that rom got their phone bricked, some of them succeeded to bring phone back to life, and some killed their devices for good..
So if you can't have stable connection via usb then I have bad news for you..

Stuck in recovery

Hi,
My phone got a message about a virus which I assumed was a devious add, it wouldn't go away so I rebooted. It has gone into Mi-Recovery 3.0 and I cant get out. I've tried to connect to PC suite but it won't connect to my laptop
without debugging, which I can't do. I've wiped data but no good. Any ideas?
Flash full rom img via EDL mode and MiFlash software. Check out the official forums how to do it all.
For me the command fastboot oem edl works to get into edl mode.

Thank you for answering. I have downloaded a full rom and the MiFlash software. I have made an EDL cable but nothing happens. From what I read it says turn the phone off and connect the modified cable and it will enter EDL mode however it just stays on the Mi-Recovery 3.0 page. I've tried the command line you suggest but that can't find the phone. I've also tried the test point method and still can't get into edl mode. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry, I'm new to this so don't really know what I'm doing. Would you be able to give me some easy to follow advise or some links please.

You need your normal USB C cable. When you are in fastboot you need to type "fastboot oem edl" your screen will go to black and you are now in EDL mode. Now flash full img via miflash software.

I cant get to fastboot as I'm stuck in Recovery. My only choices are Reboot to System and Back to Main Menu. When I'm in Main Menu my choices are Reboot, Wipe Data or Connect with MIAssistant.

When you turn off the phone and press vol down + power what does that do?
It shows the Mi start screen then boots strait into recovery Main Menu. I can't turn the phone off without it rebooting.
Does anyone know how I can get around this? I've run out of things to try.
Did you try reflashing the recovery maybe that fixes it?

Can you explain how I do that? I can't connect to my computer so not sure what you mean. I'm new at this so unsure of the options.

Is there no way of getting out of stock recovery?
Maybe your volume rocker buttons are faulty .
Happened with one of my friend his device was only booting into recovery mode on reboot because vol+ button was permanently stuck ?
Try to lift up the button if it is stuck or
press button repeatedly for sometime .
Ashish 289, you are right, it was a faulty volume rocker. Once disconnected it booted. Thanks.

Dead Hardbricked MI 9 SE

Hello everyone, I have rooted and used my MI 9 SE for at atbout one month normally. Today, phone discharged and since that time after charged, Iam not able to boot everywhere, except "fastboot screen", while trying anything like (power and +; power and - etc..) phone always vibrates and boots into fastboot screen.
unfortunatelly, I so far I havent managed to connect it to PC and reflash anything, it is not visible and does nothing, when try to connect to PC (tried all USB ports etc).
Also MI flash tool doesnt do anything with that, so, any idea or solution?
Thank you, sorry for my english.

Are you using USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?
Edit: there is this: https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/
I used this to unlock my bootloader, though I've noticed that it has "unbrick" feature, whatever that may be, haven't tried it before, see if it helps. If you cannot get fastboot working, you're in deep sh*t.
I'm afraid I can't help beyond this, I never bricked a phone badly enough to ruin fastboot, so at this point I'm clueless what you can do other than returning the phone. They unbrick it for you and the warranty wont be void but you'll have to pay.

Question Bricked Mi PAD 5 PRO CN

Hello, i tried helping my grandmother by installing the global rom on her Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro WIFI, however as it didn't work i tried forcing the rom onto it by flashing it manually using fastboot, after this i am not able to power it on, or reach fastboot. It's just a black screen it doesn't matter how long you hold the power key it's just completely black.. Is there something i can do???? Or is it completely destroyed?
Global ROM is not available for PRO version. Probably you flashed a wrong one. Try flashing back the CN one matches your model.

Hello, yes same as me. The tablet are in the 9008 edl state when you put it on your computer. there are many flashing tools out there, the problem are the flash authentification from xiaomis side. i prepared a empty pc with windows 10 and loaded the last fastboot image. then i got a telegram contact from a russian guy who was able to use the xiaomi auth procedure, cost me 30 dollar and 3 days to find out this crap
Xiaomi needs a better way to unbrick its devices instead of Authorized Mi Accounts
Xiaomi has locked down the EDL mode on all of its devices, making it nigh impossible to unbrick a device without an Authorized Mi Account. Read on for more!

When it's plugged into the PC, is it recognised with "fastboot devices" or "adb devices"?
If it is you should be able to wipe with "fastboot -w" and start again.
Google detailed instructions.

Question POCO F3 Stuck in fastboot after USB disconnecting

So I downloaded pixelos and wished to revert to stock miui, i was using the miflash tool and in the first few seconds my usb disconnected. Then i could not exit fastboot no matter what I pressed. I've tried to flash miui again but am getting the error "data transfer error" and "data transfer time unknown". I could really use the help. Thank you
This kind of crap happened to my Redmi K30 Pro as well. The only difference is that mine did not turn on anymore after I tried to restart it. Both Recovery Mode and Fastboot are unaccessible.
I think there's always a risk going from a custom rom back to miui, specially so when using fastboot.
If u can access EDL mode either via touch point or EDL Usb cable, do that and try flashing the MIUI again through Mi-Flash. Make sure you're using the same MiAccount and hope they will flag it as authorized, otherwise you'll be forced to take it to a service center and have the whole motherboard replaced.
You can also use QFIL but that's a unreliable tool and it always spouts out Sahara error messages.

I am not familliar with EDL mode, any tutorials you know to get into that? I really appreciate it.
Google is your bestfriend. If ur going with touch point method, know that it will void the warranty as you'll have to open it and short the pins, to invoke EDL mode.
EDL cable is advisable so try that first and follow the instructions that came with the package. It's a cable with a button.

And once im in EDL mode, do i just have to try the miflash tool again?
Also can i try get TWRP again and try boot a rom from there, could that be possible?
If u can access the recovery mode then try that first.
For EDL mode, yes you have to use MiFlash for this. Make sure you're using the same Mi Account that you've used when you unlocked the bootloader and do not remove the device from the Mi Account. This way, it will recognized it as authorized and it will flash successfully.

Okay I've managed to get TWRP installed, any idea what to do from here?
I'm sure you're knowledgeable in flashing, and knows how to use google. I'm sure u also know that accessing TWRP is a good sign and u can now access fastboot or EDL via adb from there.

I've only flashed one custom rom so not too knowledgable, I would probably try to get a miui recovery file and transfer it to my phone and then install from twrp. I think that would work
Also i cant decrypt my data despite entering the only pin I have ever used
