Gone to bootloop Please help me - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

My device is Redmi note 5 pro
I was on China miui10 with redwolf and want to flash fastboot rom via miflash but it was done in 1 sec and all gone to vain
So I took my phone to service centre and they said warrenty voids as u unlocked bootloader
So I thought to lock bootloader via commands as miflash didn't work
So I flashed mi recovery.....:crying:
It gone to bootloop:crying:
Even thought to flash a recovery but bootloader is not recognised by the pc
Flashed ADB drivers...
Please help me
It's just 10 days old

First I think you should flash TWRP of some sort and flash AOSP based custom ROM to at least be able to boot your phone. If that's done then you can lock your bootloader (if you still want to).

post this in redmi note 5 pro forum

did you lock it or not ?
can you vol - and power to enter bunny screen fastboot ?
did you allowed usb debugging on device before bootloop ?
if still unlock with fastboot, try miflash tool with another version, seems that 1 second result is when tool do not know the phone model.
I used miflashsetupbeta
if relock than i guess it becomes very tricky if am not wrong (edl, testpin,...)here link

Hey you can still fix it if it's relocked. Just flash the proper recovery rom for your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/tut-flashing-official-recovery-rom-t3798165
Or you can try to unlock the bootloader again with Miflash Unlock Tool.

sofrbrick/bootloop

Hi all,
I am new to this forum, but have some experience with rooting and custom roms(oneplus one and samsung)
Now with the Mi Max 3, which was unlocked, i have flashed the recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-nitrogen.img, but I did not realize that
i had to reboot into this recovery from the fastboot mode.
so I endet up with a locked bootloader and bottloop and am not able to unlock the bootloader again.
I think my only solution is the test-point method and a EDL authorized account.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Henry
You don't have to boot into the bootloader from fastboot mode, you can press the power button and volume up button like on almost all other Android phones to boot into TWRP recovery. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get right, but you should learn how to do it eventually.
Unfortunately it sounds like you had one of the dodgy re-sold Chinese models that had been re-flashed with Global firmware and it's locked your bootloader again on reboot.
Your only option is to use the official Miui Flash tool to boot into fastboot mode, flash the latest Global Developer ROM, and then sign in with your account and apply to unlock the bootloader again using the Miui unlock program. It may be instant but, they'll probably make you wait 720 hours, as the entire point of the program was to stop phones like yours being re-sold outside China.
At least you'll have a usable, non-bricked device though.
Thanks for your answer.
now I have opened the backcover (yes was much work ( I succeded without destroying something) and could apply the test point method to get into the lde mode.
Win10 shows it as qualcomxx at com 3
what is the best way now to awake it to life again? even without unlocking.
hi,
with the test point method I could flash the chinese rom, and the mi max 3 is awaken to life again!
The bootloader is still locked.
I have applied for unlocking, but have to wait some 15 days.
One tip: if the case is open, one can apply a little bit of silicon grease to the small pins on the side of the plastic frame
before closing it. Opening it again is much easier then.
One question: if I replace the recovery.img of the chinese rom with a TWRP image (renamed to recovery.img)
and flash that modified rom with the test point method, could this probaly work?
With a working TWRP one could install other roms without unlocking bootloader.
If yes, which TWRP would you apply?
Thanks

Flashing a recovery should not lock your bootloader, so I don't know how you did it. Note, that if you are using Xiaomi's firmware tool, you should not forget about unticking the box to lock the bootloader. But I would suggest to stay away from that tool and go command line instead with fastboot.
If you can access fastboot, I'd recommend to flash an official fastboot tgz ROM of your choice. Official ROM should boot even with an unlocked bootloader and you may start all over again more carefully.
So I think you might be able to avoid using EDL mode at this stage.
probally I forgot to untick that box. The bootloader is locked and I have to wait 319 hours.
I have got to love the test point EDL method which is simple and effective, and gave me control over the device again.
If I flash again the chinese fastboot rom (in which I have changed the original recovery.img into TWRP.img, named recovery.img) via the EDL
will that give me an installt TWRP (still with locked bootloader, but possible to install custom roms) or will i have a brick again?
thanks

Only you can answer that question by trying it out. Are you sure you have to wait for the unlocking again? Double check that! As I know you also need a priviliged xiaomi account to be able to resurrect a device in EDL mode.

Locked bootloader, stuck in recovery mode.

Hello guys.
I recently bought this phone and wanted to use netflix, but didn't allow me because it outdated and said it was not compatible with my phone. So I did a bit of research and found a post in "mi community" that said it was because phone had bootloader unlocked. The phone was new and I didn't change anything of it, but I found the bootloader was unlocked.
Installed fastboot and adb drivers, locked bootloader and got myself into a... Brick?
-I can still load into fastboot.
-If I turn on the phone, It tries to load android but loads Mi-Recovery 3.0 instead. Recovery also says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
I'm so lost from this point, I need to know if there is a way to flash any rom, and which one do I need.
Thanks in advice
stuck on recovery
Most likely a chinese phone that came with global rom. If it came with global rom try flashing chinese rom and then unlocking bootloader and reflash global. Do not lock bootloader after flashing global.

Thanks for your answer, that is exactly what I've.
The problem is I tried to flash a Chinese from but it always denie it. Tried to flash the last global rom and allows me to do it with the same program.
Not sure where I can get the official chinese rom or how to bypass the xiaomi protection.
Thanks for helping! Hope I can somehow do it

Try searching for tools below which might help.

I don't find the way to reboot (via software) to EDL from fastboot, is still possible to access it by opening the phone?

If you can flash global ROM. I think you just need to unlock bootloader and then flash China ROM once you have unlocked bootloader.

It lets me flash de global one, but when I try to do the same with chinese rom, it says the version is lower, so I can't "downgrade".
It's weird because according to version number, the global one was a few versions lower
Solved the issue
The same issue , i was also encountered , After Flashing with "Xiaomi_Mi_Max_3_V10.2.1.0.PEDMIXM_20190226.0000.00_Global_9.0" Mi Max 3 with the MiFlash20191206 tool , by default the tool used "Clear data and Lock".
The tool saying "Flashing" and my phone got rebooted and went to MI Recovery 3.0 and also i got the message as
"This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
I am not clueless how to proceed. So downloaded the Chinese version and again i tried to flash with above tool. Now tool said that "Can't Erase Locked" phone.
So Now i connected to Miflash_unlock with fastboot and connected to mi account and again i unlocked the phone.
Now my phone automatically booted to the Global version.
So i hope the issue is selecting the option as "Clear data and lock" . We need to select only "Clear data" in the flash tool.

Hi there,
I encountered the same issue. I tried to flash some CN Rom without enough research, without knowing that you can't just flash an Android 10 rom from 9 directly by recovery (even TWRP). So I ended up Fastboot or TWRP but never able to boot into system. Fortunately I didn't flash my Max3 by fastboot rushly, so my phone was still unlocked.
This is how I solved it:
1. Download an official CN ROM (the below I used is MIUI 11 with Android 9.9.x);
I can't post link here but search "miui通过线刷升级" - you shall see a miui.com link ending with shuaji-393.html. That's the page I download the Mi Max3 ROM from.
2. Use MiFlash to flash the official ROM with the flash option "clean all", NOT "clean All and lock";
3. The phone shall reboot into system, give it 5-10 minutes;
4. Flash the miui.eu ROM you like (DO make sure it is Android 9 tho) by recovery (tutorial given under every official xiaomi.eu ROM download).
Again it's easy to search
It took me less than an hour to do it (I don't have much experience with new XiaoMi phone). So don't worry about bricking your phone forever.
Hope it helps to destress
Hi guys. I need some help too because I'm not totally sure what I have to do here so if anyone can give me some tips I would appreciate it.
I just ordered the 128gb 6gb ram version of Mi Max 3 and it might come with the global rom and already unlocked. Should I use the Mi flash tool to install the file MIUI 11 V11.0.3.0.PEDCNXM android 9 fastboot file? then after that installs I should lock the bootloader and then unlock it again myself with my mi own account? I just want to make sure that this is the correct way to do it.
Also after it I unlock it should I flash the newest xiaomi.eu rom with android 10 or do i have to do something else first? Thank you

I have solved it flashing a chinese rom instead global rom.
Good time of day!
I have the same problem… I mistakenly flashed the Mi flash firmware of my Rn8 Pro, with subsequent blocking (I forgot to check), which absolutely could not be done with a ROM phone from China. The phone went to bootlop. The following attempts to flash the phone with Mi flash end with a message that the phone has a blocked bootloader. SP flash flashes successfully, but the bootlop problem remains…Is there any solution to restore the phone..? Sincerely.
same issue.

Question Stuck on Fastboot (orange)

Hello
When trying to install a rom on Xiaomi.eu, my smart is stuck in orange Fastboot mode (and not with the rabbit)
I will explain in detail what I did and my problem.
I have my Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE 256go has the bootloader unlocked (no problem on this step)
I booted *TWRP* from my PC, I wanted to install it in my smart but it wouldn't (I forgot the error it made)
Despite this, I did a Format/Data and installed the rom "*xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11LE_XM11Lite5GNE_V13.0.3.0.SKOCNXM_v13-12*" but the procedure failed and after each restart, I only have the Fastboot mode (orange) which appears and I can no longer boot *TWRP *from a PC.
After that, here are the applications I tried to get out of this situation
Using
**_Xiaomi Unlock**: Following the recommendation of a youtuber, it's useless since the bootloader is already unlocked.
**_Xiaomi MiFlash**: By selecting the rom and the flash, it's does "*error "antirollback check error*"
**_XiaoMiTool V2**: During the flash procedure, it doesn't want to install the "*Flash super*" and by starting it again or skipping it, the whole installation is canceled.
This is what I have done so far.
I'll let you know if I have any news, hoping someone can help me.

Not only do you repeat what has already been said, but you say anything.
No, you cannot use MIFLASH with a locked bootloader.
So if u have lock bootloader u need Original Miui Rom for ur phone
U must download version what ur Phone got
Global, China or Eea Europe
U can check here what version should u Flash https://xiaomicheck.com/
If u have unlocked bootloader and flash custom rom and after OEM lock u brick ur phone and u must go to service. I pay 15Dollars to repair phone when i lock China Phone with EU Rom and lock bootloader.

You can try this tool.
https://xiaomitools.com/sp-flash-tool-en/
There are also other tools, do a search on XDA and Google.
thx. i tried it, but the problem is that i could not get into edl. the com port is showing up for 1 sec and then it reboots and get into fastboot.
sp tool doesnt accept the scatter file from my rom.
is it possible to flash twrp with locked bootloader and restore it?
or is the only way to get a remote support?
thx

It is not obvious for recent devices if the soc is not supported.
EDL mode is only for Qualcomm devices.

thx,
so i've tried the tools.
i get into preloader state but wihout serial port so mtk stucks. Maybe its windows 11?
i also tried the xiaomi tool v2 but its horrible, cause our phone is not in recovery list (i wrote the developer to import it)
also in sp flash tool i don't get the button to bypass security
If still under warranty, send it.
