What I tried;
Factory reset,
ADB devices do not see any (when trying unlocking bootloader)

Mi Reset, but ADB doesn't see any devices
Any ideas?

Hey im the maintainer of one of the custom roms for this phone you can look up on google how to use the test points if you short those with a tweezers or something it will go into edl and that should allow you to use miflash and completly reflash the stock rom.

Why don't you call him lol. Let's be honest you thought it was an iPhone X or something and stole it right?

Hey ,have you tried the command "fastboot oem edl" when your phone is connected to pc in fastboot mode ,the screen has to go black ,and the led indicator would blink .If you manage to go in edl mode(emergency download mode) ,just reflash stock firmware with MiFlash. Merry Christmas!

Short circuit pin mode, as @lacia-chan said. Search on Google, XDA or Mi Forums on how. Note: need to open phone.

Nexus 5x display is scrambled after rolling back from android n developer preview2

Hi All,
Request all to provide any suggestions related to the below issue:
I rolled back from android n preview 2 to android m after which my display is scrambled.I am not able to view any thing on it.
But I am getting calls and able to pick them when I roughly expect the place where I can swipe the dialer right to pick the call.
Few things that I want to highlight is :
1)I had unstable wifi connection while downloading the android m OTA.
2)I removed the unlock bootloader check before rolling back in the developer options.
3)I can also sense that i am able to take screen shots when I am holding the power button and the volume down button based on the sound it normally makes (while capturing screenshots)
I am not able to come to conclusion whether this a hardware issue?(may be i need the replacement of the screen) or can it be due to corrupt ota file update?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
thanks
I would first see if flashing the m factory image solves the issue. Then look at hardware.

use "adb reboot bootloader" from command prompt to enter bootloader or if you know the device is off, press power + vol up + vol down for roughly 5sec, thatll get into bootloader. than flash factory image.
or last case scenario use wug fresh toolkit to force flash the image, make sure you select the device fails to boot box (I think that's what its called, the only other one states "device on/normal" <-- so NOT that one)

yes, the adb command will only work if debugging is on. Once in bootlader, use fastboot commands, debugging doesn't matter at that point.

Hi All,
I got the cable ,I had everything to flash the official factory images.But the problem is as mentioned earlier I haven't checked the oem unlock in the developer option and this is not allowing to flash the factory images and fastboot flashing unlock is failing.
Is there any work around for this please?

Not that I'm aware of. Sorry, there is a thread on here that may prove useful that deals with bricked phones with OEM unlocked off. The info there might help you at least get back to stock.

I also want to highlight that,I am getting a black screen on the fastboot mode too,i cant see nothing there..Only way i am able to identify that my device is in fastboot mode is by giving fastboot devices command.
So can this be a software issue?

You might want to look into android screencast.
I don't know if it still works with the latest android releases, but back in kitkat days if I had a screen that wouldn't display I could use screencast and I'd get the framebuffer displaying on the PC. While viewing on PC I could then do touchscreen "guesses" more accurately and presumably you'd be able to enable OEM unlocked bootloader so you can flash factory images.

Did you try to use MiFlash tool? If you don´t want to use test point then probably you could enter to EDL using hardware buttons, in other Xiaomi devices that I owned the combination key was keeping pressed both volume buttons at same time (it´s an accuracy timing move) that you connect with PC, open device manager in windows and see if device is detected under Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, install first the proper drivers https://www.themefoxx.com/2018/07/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-driver.html

That won't work either... it's a different thing..if your system is destroyed you'll get an error and your phone will still be able to boot to fastboot....if your phone doesn't boot to fastboot then you can't flash vbmeta.img

Any errors on screen or something?..or just black screen nothing else?
I cannot enter fastboot or recovery mode and the only way is EDL, but when installing ask for the authorized account, my question is if it can be installed by EDL without an account

Cannot enter EDL mode

Hey.
I bricked my phone so I'm trying to get into EDL mode and flash it that way.
Entering EDL mode with shorting test point doesn't work.
That way phone shows up as "Android Bootloader Interface" in Device Manager.
Yesterday I could enter EDL that way but I went to sleep.
Why can I get into EDL mode now?
//EDIT:
Phone now has locked bootloader BTW. Ginkgo.

Even though if you managed to boot into edl
You cannot flash rom as you said it has locked bootloader.
Go to any nearest service center to get the rom flashed.

You are wrong. You can flash fastboot rom using edl even if your phone is in locked bootloader state.

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.

Charge the tablet with another cable that you know works.
Make sure that you have the most up to date version of Platform Tools.
Make sure that when you're in the Command Prompt that you are in the Platform Tools folder.

Question Hard-Bricked Poco F3 (shocker). Won't boot into EDL.

Hello peeps.
My Poco F3 got hard bricked after update froze (was doing clean install of stable EU rom). Phone won't boot into any mode, and won't appear on pc. I've tried sorting the Test Pins 50 different ways and it still doesn't get picked up by the pc. Qualcomm Drivers are installed. Device is connected with working data transfer USB cable. It definitely is getting charge cause Battery and CPU are hotter than the rest of the phone. I'm at complete loss, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong or if I screwed up my phone that bad that EDL also doesn't work. Thanks for anyhelp!
1. Disconnect the battery
2. Make USB-Cable ready for Insertion
3. While shorting the 2 Test-pins, connect the USB-Cable
This is how I had to do it. ^^ This can be difficult and may require multiple trials, but this should work!
Windows should make the "Hardware connected"-Sound directly after connecting the USB-Cable, and show "Qualcomm 9008" in Device Manager.
If not, you need to repeat it: disconnect USB, short the 2 Test-pins and connect USB again. All while leaving battery unplugged.
Note: EDL Mode can't be bricked. This read-only Mode resides inside the Qualcomm SOC. There would have to be physical (hardware) damage for this to not function.
If you need more assistance or so, I can give you my Discord. Though you already seem quite far. Good luck dud.

I am assuming the phone screen does not light up at all, no fastboot or recovery mode.
This would mean the phone's hard bricked. It will require EDL flashing which can be done by someone with an authorised Xiaomi account.

Yes. Just to be safe I would flash the rom with "clean all" instead of "clean all and lock" if I were you. Then after booting up the phone you can later lock the bootloader safely using "fastboot oem lock" in adb.

In case of "clean all and lock" if something goes wrong during flashing, the bootloader will be locked and you will not be able to fix the phone. So it is safer to flash the rom first without locking the bootloader and then lock it after booting up.

It will not.
If the Flash aborts, it won't even get to the stage of locking the bootloader.

Because if you lock bootloader while flashing a rom with a different region than what came in the box, you will hard brick your phone
