Hi guys, it looks xda is my last chance resort to save the phone.
Once purchased a week ago I still cant use the phone by now.
The phone seem to be attached to some account which I did not create and thus cant access.
The phone is locked/bootloader/ and not activated /MI account verification/, neither I can restore any password by loggin with my phone number - Xiaomi does not send me any verification text SMS back.
I tried recovery and Fastboot and while recovery allows me to flash with chineese MISuite back and forth with 8.0.3/android show errors-stopped processes/ and 7.5.XX,
fastboot does not allow anything-Flash xbl error.
Anybody-anything? Because ./except my numerous reclaiming in Xiaomi and the shop/ I am out of ideas by now ??
Cheers,
Looks like a stolen phone. If you bought it via paypal/credit card request a refund/charge back.

May be. But I bought it from Gearbest.com. Are they prone to such cases?
Good idea w/charge back.
Usually not, but I would return it anyway, just to be sure. If it has been used, there is no saying how the battery will perform or if it's full of viruses and spyware.
If you wont solve the problem, maybe I'll be willing to rebuy i from you. Depends on the price. Im looking for bricked mi5s

I had the same problem when trying to install Miui again after installing LOS. But I had already unlocked my bootloader.
If you use a special cable, http://en.miui.com/thread-324300-1-1.html, you can flash a Miui developer ROM and unlock your bootloader. There are plenty of manuals on the internet.
Everythings ok now, Xiaomi support helped effectively )). Thread to be closed.
What solution did they have for you?

I did not receive verification SMS from Xiaomi to reset the password.
I had to sent them IMEI, phone no, invoice copy etc.
After all it succedeed.
So I installed the latest Oreo Global ROM on my Mi 6. Everything was smooth until I decided to install some dark theme from the Themes app and the phone bricked.
I booted into recovery mode, wiped all data and rebooted.
As I reboot, it shows the MIUI 9 intro screen. Select language, then select region. AFTER I select region, the phone setup shows 'wait a second...' and then the error happens: a message 'Find Device has stopped' appears and it boots. Eternally.
So far I've tried:
1) Xiaomi PC Suite - says I should update my phone before using it.
2) Xiaomi Mi Flash - says I need to unlock bootloader
3) I asked to unlock bootloader, was authorized for my Mi account a few hours later, but when I use the Mi unlocker app, it says my My Account was not bound to the device (well it was but I wiped data...)
4) If I try an unnoficial flash tool, it says I need to enable USB debugging. I can't enable it anymore because the phone is stuck in the initial setup screen when it boots after Find Device stops.
Any suggestions please? I have no idea how to recover my phone.
Thanks!
Here is a method that worked for bricked Mi 5 devices.
I don't have time to look in your particular problem right now, but rest assured, as a last resort you can always boot into EDL mode and flash right away without unlocked BL. You need to open up your phone for that though.

Alright, I might have worked out a solution, make sure to follow these steps:
Download Global Dev 8.1.25 ROM zip.
Download Xiaomi ADB, extract the 3 files and put them in a folder with the ROM zip.
Hold Vol + Power down and in the following menu select "Connect to Mi Assistant" or "连接小米助手".
Drag the ROM zip onto the XiaomiADB.exe, let it do its thing.
On successful flash the device will reboot. Enter recovery-mode again.
Via cmd, run xiaomiadb format-data.
Let me know if this works. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Good luck!

Damn, I thought this would work.
I tried to flash your dev rom, it said I can only flash Global ROMs.
So I tried 9.2.2.0,it said I could not flash this because it's older.
Then I tried the current ROM I had, the 9.3 (Oreo) and it flashed alright, I formatted data via adb like you said... But no way, I get the same MIUI welcome screen, choose language, choose region, and after I choose region (only China is listed) I get the same Find Device closed message and it reboots.
Maybe I'll be able to do this with a future MIUI release? Maybe it's a 9.3 OCAMIEK bug?

Unlucky. Try with some more zips to be sure. Make sure to try China Dev and Stable too.
If nothing would work and there's really no other way, are you confident enough to open up your phone? You'd just need to connect 2 points to enter EDL mode which should allow you to flash anything you want.
But for now you could also wait for a new release and see if that helps.
It happened to me exactly the same this weekend in a mix 2. After all the afternoon trying to fix it in this way.
Install a recovery through adb in fastboot mode, from adb restart the device by pressing the volume up button to enter the recovery directly. Once in recovery mode I made all the wipes and then I copied a custom rom to the internal memory of the phone and the flash in my case was epic rom. And the cell phone already works perfectly for me.
I write from a translator I'm sorry if you do not understand something, I hope it helps.
A greeting from Spain!
I just spent hours fixing the same issue. In the end the following method worked. Note that it requires an unlocked bootloader.
Sorry I can't post links yet so just have to refer to Google searching...
1. Download latest miFlash v2017.7.20.0 (Google search for it)
2. Go to "Fastboot Update - Xiaomi MIUI Official Forum" site (again just Google search)
3. Download "★ Xiaomi Mi 6 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download" from the website in step 2 (other ROMs probably work too)
4. Follow the above guide from the Fastboot section
Good luck!
Pc suite wont work on our mi6 because it only works until android 6 or so, so its not for us.
Id wait for the next global stable release and try that one out. BTW, have u tried flashing MIUI china versions? Maybe that one works out (althugh it said only global, maybe referring to developers and not china stable). GL!
I can't unlock the bootloader. Applied for it on MIUI, it authorized me but the unlocked app says the device is not bound to my MIUI account.
Although i have logged in and backup stuff from my Mi account in that phone, that unlock app says its not associated. Maybe because I wiped the data when it bootlooped, i don't know. Anyway unfortunately can't unlock it right now. Thanks!

Oh I'll try other Roms. You did help me a lot tho because i was finally able to at least flash something to my phone. That relieves me a ton, because at least i know it can be saved someday lol.
I'm using my Galaxy note 5 and traveling now but will definitely try other Roms like the Chinese one next week. Thanks again, friend.

Not too bad of a substitute phone.
Apart from trying other ROMs, the notable thing here is that you can kind of access ADB commands via that tool which might help you fix the issue with "Find Device" FC.
Anyways, if you have any more questions later, I'll gladly help.

Thanks David. I'll take a look at all the options in the adb tool when i come back home Monday.
I love my note 5, the screen is gorgeous and the camera is better than the Mi 6 IMHO. Reason i bought the Mi 6 are the 128 tb of storage, the size (this note i too big for my small hands) and the Mi 6 is so much faster, besides having tremendous battery life. My note5 battery was always ****, and I have been using it for the last 2 years (go the Mi 6 like 2 months ago).
You've been extremely helpful, bud. Are you from Brazil too? (Asking because of the RJ in your Nick)

I managed to flash the last global dev via xiaomiadb. It all went smooth.
Obviously, after selecting language and region, I get the same Find Device closed unexpectedly and it reboots.
And now, when I try to use xiaomiadb to flash or format data, it says ERROR and the phone reboots, like he's "rejecting" any xiaomiadb command. SO cannot flash anything now.
I'm giving up on this horrible phone.

Sorry to hear that. I can't really say what's the issue here as your phone is definitely not hard bricked but I have never seen such behavior before.
Well depending on where you bought your phone, you could definitely file an RMA with the seller. You didn't unlock bootloader and your phone bricked itself basically. If you bought it in China, it depends on how easy it is to ship phones overseas in Brazil. In Europe, we can't easily ship phones with non-removable batteries sadly. (Sou da Alemanha btw mas falo um poucinho de Português )
In any case, your last bet would be the EDL method. You will lose your warranty though.
But I understand that this is way too much hassle for a soft brick caused by a damn theming engine... I'm so glad I switched off MIUI months ago.
Anyways good luck and let me know if you get any further.
David

You're a very nice person, David, thanks a ton!
Oh no xiaomi RMA here. And yeah I saw some people who bricked their phones by installing some dark theme (not the same as mine, but it was always a dark theme) after upgrading to the Oreo global rom.
And just my luck, my Note 5 took a dive yesterday so I'm phoneless lol. Thinking bout getting a Xiaomi A1 or a Moto X4, theyre not expensive and about the same price here...
If you can use adb commands. Try:
> fastboot erase system
> fastboot erase userdata
> fastboot erase boot
> fastboot erase cache
> fastboot erase data
Then try flashing the the latest developer rom as you did before.

Damn... Well you could still try the advice from @golfinry, I didn't think of regular ADB commands at all. Then again, if you can't do RMA anyways, what's stopping you from trying the EDL method? As far as I know you can flash any MIUI ROM you want without unlocked BL with that.

Oh but I cannot use fastboot on locked bootloader right? Got the message after trying these commands

erasing 'system'...

Seems to require unlocked BL. Anyway have you ever seem this error:closed message when trying to do adb commands like adb usb (or xiaomiadb usb), adb format-data, adb sideload, etc?
Started happening after I managed to flash latest global. SO I cannot try to flash anything now
Figured as much... What about the data partition. Same thing?
Hi everyone
Well im a type of guy who thinks that knows everything thats why im in problems right now. So i was using MIUI 10 beta since the first day it came out and i love it with weekly updates and noticable changes. Yesterday i saw that i can install Android P on my whyred i was pretty happy so i decided to try it today. I flashed everything and Android P worked like charm on my whyred.
But i wanted to go back to MIUI 10 and i was trying to flash using twrp but at the end i lost everything on my phone including OS. Then i downloaded MIUI 10 8.7.12 to flash it with MIFlash and i got the "Anti-Rollback" error. I found some toolkit on MIUI forum to remove anti-rollback so i tried again to flash rom but MIUI V.9.5.4.0 and it started to flash. Flash went good and it was completed but my phone turned off and its completly dead. No chance to turn it on or even to go in fastboot mode.
I dont really think that anyone can save it but if anyone heard or had that problem i will be so thankful if you could help! :fingers-crossed:
Have you try this?

There is no reported tool that can do that!
If it is the tool, I'm thinking of, it only allows unloking fastboot on ARP, so you can flash TWRP!

Thanks i will try. My pc can see my phone as "qusb_bulk" and i searched a little bit and i found out that is hard bricked so actually there is a way to fix this.
Dear seems that you flashed ARB 3 rom on ARB 4 enabled device
So hard bricked now you need mi authentication authorization to flash the latest rom.
All hard bricked users waiting for their permission from xiaome.
Hello. What happened was that my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite gave a very sinister problem, I was using it normal, when it suddenly crashed, I tried to restart it, but when it called it got stuck on the Android One screen and it doesn't leave that screen. I would like to know if there is anything you guys advise me to try to do. I would like some help, the cell phone is very good and I had never locked it. Only it gave this problem.
My bootloader is blocked and the unlock option in the developer settings is disabled. I already tried to flash the latest system using XiaomiMiFlash, MiFlashPro, MiFlashBeta, TOOL ALL IN ONE, among other methods and none makes the phone come back to life. When using XiaomiMiFlash or MiFlashPro, the following error appears: "ack count don't match", and so the flash process does not end. Using MiFlashBeta, this error does not appear, but the process ends and nothing changes. The phone remains locked.
Now we are two, read somewhere you must use Mi Authorized Mi flash, then perform a deepflash.

On the Mi flash tab look for authentication, sign in with your mi account. Remember to use Mi flash pro.
Same problem as me?

I had already tried to do this procedure that he told me, but it also didn't solve it, it gave the error "ACK don't match". I saw your post on Reddit at this link you sent and apparently we are having problems very close, I also cannot format the device
My redmi 8 needed an update, I downloaded it, I restarted it, then the screen went black and no longer turned on
Before restarting, my cell phone said that if it was not compatible I would have to restart manually (data / system / updates)
The name was "PixelExperience_Plus_begonia-11.0-20211009-1026-OFFICIAL.zip"
What I can do? the USb doesn´t recognize it when connecting it to the PC

Why are you convinced that it need an update ?
if your phone is working fine = leave it alone
updates are the main reasons of apps FC and bootloops ...
Yep, like age old wisdom: if it works, don't fix it...
