[Redmi 5a] Device won't boot pass MI logo event after EDL flash - Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers

Hello there, need help here.
I have a Redmi 5a variant MCG3B with locked bootloader. I've been trying to reflash this thing back up through EDL mode, but it just won't boot pass MI logo. It flashed successfully without any hiccups. When I tried to boot it up, it just showed MI logo and then blank black screen, nothing. Tried latest and older MIUI Global fastboot ROM, still the same.
It can still get into fastboot, but since bootloader is still locked, I can't do anything from there. Or can I?
Been trying to google things up but so far nothing. Anyone have any solution? Thanks before.
PS. Btw, sorry for the typo in the thread's title. I mean 'even'

Mix 2 bricked?! Flashing went wrong. Need help please.

Hey guys,
so this my problem:
I got the Mix 2 with the Chinese ROM. With the XiaoMiTool by Francesco Tescari I updated to the Global ROM V9.1.2.0 because I didn't want to wait to unlock the bootloader. This worked but I only had the choice to set China as my region. Since this was a common problem with updating the ROM without unlocking the phone I unlocked it and waited for 3 days to unlock.
Today I installed TWRP and installed the ROM xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMix2_7.11.16_v9-7.1. After this I was stuck with the Mi bootup logo. In TWRP I deleted cache, system, data. This worked EXCEPT for system. I thought updating TWRP to the newest version would help solve this issue. But since I'm new to this I didn't update it within TWRP but just installed the newer version via the commandfastboot flash recovery twrp.img. The result is that I can not get in recovery mode anymore. The only option is fastboot mode or the regular Mi logo endless boot.
What I tried so far: EDL flash method via adb/MiFlash but both don't work. The XiaoMiTool won't work too. The Mi PC Suite won't recognise the phone. When I use the edl.cmd the phone will go black for 2-3s and then return to fastboot.
I guess the problem at this point is that usb debugging is not turned on since TWRP installed the EU ROM and I could never get in it to enable the debug mode.
I couldn't find a solution to solve the boot up problem and can't seem to install/flash a new ROM at this point.
So what can I do? Do I need that special usb cable? Will the EDL points help me?
Maybe/Hopefully you can help me out.
EDIT:
When I turn on the phone it will directly go into fastboot mode. A normal start is not possible anymore?!...
EDIT 2:
I am now running the latest Global Rom this guide did it for me: en.miui. com/thread-1351514-1-1. html
Good to hear you got it up and running.

That happens if you have a modified kernel and a relocked bootloader. Strange, that miflash will not recognize your phone... But it seems that you are not in fastboot mode - so go again to fastboot and
1. Try to reunlock your bootloader with
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
-> then your problem should be solved!
2. If you can´t reopen your bootloader, you need to enter edl. Here you need to search in the help forum!

First thank's for your quick response.
I've already tried to unlock the Oem but it still the same.
But, i tried to flash this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-install-gsi-treble-rom-t3853404
and now i don't have anymore the "Your system has been destroyed" message.
but my phone still stuck at the booting of the rom.
What can i do?
Which message do you get when you try to flash stock with miflash?

Redmi Note 8 Pro begonia (MIUI 12 EU) bricked and locked

Hello guys,
I have an Issue with my Xiaomi RN8P begonia. It somehow managed to brick itself over the night,
the only thing that it does is, to restart in a bootloop and that's it.
Sadly the recovery is gone..
I've tried to reflash miui or the twrp.img but ... the bootloader is locked. nicen't.
Atleast it gets detected in fastboot mode..
This phone had been in this state for over a year now and since then, I've tried to find a way to safe it. Even contacted the xiaomi support to ask if they could reflash a new Image, but they want some
money for that ofc (since it is out of the warranty)..
Does anyone have a legit way to somehow safe that phone?
I really want it to work again.
Thanks for any further replies to this Post.
Hey,
Fastboot is working but you can't flash stock MIUI with the Mi Flash tool?
I have seen there is a way to unlock your Device in EvoX Telegram , maybe that may help you?

After unlocking, was it possible to boot into TWRP Recovery or went straight back to fastboot?
Sounds like your phone's internal Storage is dead anyways, I don't have another Idea.
Sorry

What's the step you do to flash to xiaomi eu?
Do you unlock bootloader first before doing so?

Ah man, that's bad to hear :/
After I flash the twrp recovery, it will automatically reboot and will end up in a bootloop

Wah I tot you flashed xiaomi.eu to it.
Even unlocking the bootloader need some adjustment on the Settings to make it succeed.
But maybe can try first http://miuirom.xiaomi.com/rom/u1106245679/6.5.406.31/miflash_unlock-en-6.5.406.31.zip

All right, the rom is flashed. The only thing that changed is, the bootscreen. else everything seems to be like before, so endless restarting and so on.

Sad. I saw many results (5 guys):
- 2 was successful recover (lucky guys)
- 2 was successful boot but recognize that they had volume up issue (stuck or something like that inside)
- 1 buy a second hand rmn8p. He can boot in TWRP. But when he boot in system, just show boot screen 1s and bootloop. He gave up.

All right my guys. I guess that's it. I'd close this thread now, since it is obvious, that this phone is sadly dead .
I'll look after a spare unit where I can change the Motherboard from. maximum 55€.
Thank you all for all the help and effort, trying to help me out here.
Especially to Kirasu2080 and ohwarumbloss.
Cheers

You're welcome, wish there was some better results
If you open your Phone, be very careful. When I opened mine (heated up with a Hair dryer) I wasn't patient enough and it completely cracked (evil Glass now I can tell)
Else there is no Problem to change parts, almost Noob friendly I would say
Good luck!
