Redmi 5A Radio OFF. Help needed please. - Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers

Hi all. Please help. When I received the handset it was with Chinese ROM. I have followed certain guide here how to change it to Global ROM with success. That was over a year ago. Since then I had several OTA updates and everything worked well. I believe the latest was MIUI 10.2.
Suddenly 3 days ago, the signal for both SIM cards disappeared. Phone discovers both SIMs but says Radio is OFF and switch off Airplane mode or something. Of course Airplane mode is off. When I go to testing page it says Radio OFF for both cards and cannot be switched on. I'm not aware there was another update or anything on my part that would trigger this, it just suddenly happened.
The phone is not rooted nor has it got TWRP (I think! I believe it relocked itself etc during the official global rom installation).
Can anyone help please?

Ah but to change from China to global ROM or the other way requires unlocked boot loader...
Otherwise stuff like this happens.
The boot loader can be relocked again after the process.
Since the boot loader is locked there is less chance to solve the problem as you won't be able to flash twrp or use fastboot to flash firmware to the phone.
Another solution will be needed
That exactly happened to me.
I unbricked my phone with testpoint method.
It's easy procedure but you will have to open up your phone..
I Did it and never opened a phone before, its about open it and link 2 dots with a wire or something, and Then it goes to download mode and allows you to use mi flash and flash mi6. I recommend chinese developer rom (it will allow you to unlock bootloader afterwards)
Watch this russian guy do it, he makes it easy it took hours for me just search "mi6 testpoint" on YouTube
I got it fixed thank you guys

Global Version Root/TWRP

I recently purchased a Redmi Note 5 , Global Version, I recently unlocked the bootloader, but wasn't for sure what guide method to use to flash twrp and root... I tried the one click root I found here on the forums, but it doesn't detect my device, even with usb debugging etc... So was thinking maybe b/c it was global and not china? Any help appreciated, thanks.
Install it normally via fastboot. For root, flash magisk. No need to complicate things with tools.

There's another guide where you sign in with second miui account on phone than sign in with second account on mi flash tool. But I can't create 2nd xiaomi account cause i only have 1 phone number. Xiaomi uses phone number to create account

Can I downgrade Mate SE back to Nougat from Oreo with a locked bootloader?

Been trying to unlock my bootloader to no avail, but on the other hand, I can't seem to find a stock Nougat rom that I can install on stock recovery. Should I just return this phone, get a new one and obtain unlock code before updating to Oreo? Or is there any way to downgrade back to Nougat on locked bootloader?
Thanks.
I think it's possible with hisuite.

There is service rom that will flash with locked boooader, and one that is nougat. But it will leave you with strange build number. But should allow for dc-unlocker to read your code.
I was unaware that some trouble with reading the code in Oreo existed. But just got confirmation in other thread that service rom roll back helped
Thanks everyone, I ended up returning the phone and getting a new one. Read bootloader code from nougat, updated to oreo and unlocked everything no probs.

you can use fastboot rom from the guide section and flash that in fastbootd. its pretty easy to do. my 7t used to be on global but i returned to tmobile stock rom just for the google feed on the left instead of shelf. Before asking questions, just read a couple of pages back to avoid spamming the same questions others have had.

Should I back up some files in case some issues happen? Such as finger print doesn't work when the bootloader relocked? Because of I saw in other some pages in OnePlus 8 series.

i mean i havent backed up anything in relation to persist since ive also seen how to the fingerprint scanner is affected on the oneplus 8. i have relocked my bootloader on my 7t and the only thing not working is ota. i have no other issues besides that. fingerprint works fine after custom rom flashing and switching between global and tmobile stock rom. so id say you are fine since the msmtool does restore everything on the 7t. if you care about widevine level it'll return to stock if you go back to the locked bootloader state. also never re lock the bootloader when running anything custom to avoid issues(brick/bootloop).

I got problem today, but I'm not sure what's going on. I got my sim card in oneplus 7T and the device has been unlocked, the reason I said unlocked because of advance option show this device has been unlocked and able to use any of carriers, but there's no signal at all in my device. I switched the sim card to other phone and it's working, so I put my friend's sim card in oneplus 7T and it's working. Now I don't real understand why it's not working. When I got home and the device is working again.
Do you know anything about it?

Xiaomi suspended upgrade process from A10 to A11 or 12 so you'll need to unlock the bootloader and flash latest fastboot rom with MiFlash.

If nothing works, unlock the bootloader and use Miflash.

You MUST unlock bootloader and install official global rom via fastboot and mi flash utility using PC. Once you unlock bootloader DON`T lock it again!!!!! I did all that few days ago since i wasn`t receiving any OTA updates either. Phone works like a charm.

The problem if you do not lock the bootloader, the play store will not be certified, which means that certain apps like Netflix, will not be available, also certain banking apps will not work. The solution being to root and use Magisk hide .
Locking the bootloader is possible provided your phone is not a Chinese version.
All this is useless with a Xiaomi Eu rom (playstore certified without root).
BTW:
Your first link has already been posted.
The second ?.
The third has nothing to do with the subject.
Didn`t have time to read all so i posted what he needs to get the update. Second link is where to get the rom, and third link of video tutorial has everything to do with subject because guy in the video shows how to flash official rom to your phone and what to do if flashing gives error. So it was meant for him to watch, not for others who need netflix. But if he needs netflix he can just ignore most of recommendations here and just root his phone if he knows how and finds some simple way so he doesn`t brick his phone

I posted the exact tutorial and process i used 3 days ago and it is to unlock bootloader, download rom he needs and use video to flash it. Simple. I had exact same situation and i fallowed these steps. I don`t see any problem, and if it is, let admins delete my posts and i won`t try to help since it gets judged immediately like i did something terrible. Anyway, since i posted a question my self with a little problem, if this is the way i might get some answers by explaining every single thing i or anyone else post, then this is not the right place to get answers... Best of luck to Powerhero with updating his phone. I hope he chooses best and easiest solution and enjoy his phone with new software.
Farewell

After using Mi unlock you will have to wait 168 hours to finalize the procedure.
Then use Miflash to flash the A12 rom, first do not relock the bootloader, check that everything works and that A12 suits you then lock the bootloader if you do not want to try other roms like Xaiomi EU rom.
Mi unlock and Miflash will erase all your data.

one more thing sir and sorry for that. the process with xaiomi phones is a bit different i used to do it with samsung phones.
i did all the steps to unlock the bootloader
and tells me to wait 168 hours to unlock.
now should i use the phone normally and what things not to do untill the 168 hours complete
and finally when flashing the rom.how to prevent re-locking the bootloader and how to lock it if i want to.
thank you best regards
