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'

Try using MiFlashTool
And flash with global rom not recovery rom
Sent from my riva using XDA Labs
hi guys...
this phone is stock with locked bootloader and usb debugging is not enabled
it wont go beyond mi logo and three dots (progress bar) at the bottom at the time of boot...
here's what i've tried so far
booted to recovery and tried to connect to MI assistant using mi pc suite... doesn't work
tried flashing twrp... but bootloader is locked
tried to boot twrp through fastboot... it gives a message "system is destroyed"!.... but nothing happens and everything is same after reboot
i can wait for xiomi auth. code if needed... but how to unlock bootloader if system wont load at all?
is there any workaround?
i NEED to copy data (many important pics that have not been backed up anywhere!) and frankly dont care if device is torn apart... just need the data!
please help!
I usually leave my phone charging overnight and today when I woke up the phone already was off, when i tried starting the phone it was stuck on the Redmi Logo and I also tried fastbooting but that is also stuck on the Fastboot logo. Its not even switching off now stuck on the logos, only turning off after 5 mins or so only on fastboot logo screen.
I have not rooted my phone and it had the MI update they gave by system updates, I think it was MI11 but not sure.
Is there a way to fix the phone?

Atleast your phone can get into fastboot mode. My phone is stuck on the fastboot logo too.

Nope, I cannot even get into recovery mode. I restarted using the recovery holding keys it still takes me to the regular Redmi Logo which I'm stuck on.

Hi everyone. My Redmi note 5 pro is not turning on, it just gets stucked at the "redmi" logo. I tried disconnecting the battery but that didn't work. Since I can enter fastboot mode I also tried to flash the fastboot miui 12 rom with Miflash but an error appears saying "error flashing partition - write protected" (my phone has bootloader already unlocked). Even in EDL mode I couldn't flash the rom since it doesn't let me authenticate in my xiaomi account and miflash gets stucked at "edl authentication". Can you help me to unbrick my phone? Thank you.

Same thing happened to me and another one of my friends who owned redmi note 5 pro last week. Trust me I literally tried everything, but sadly I had to go for a new phone. The xiaomi service center told me the motherboard needed to be replaced which would cost 4-5k plus the screen would need to be replaced ( if you have even a couple screen cracks ) which would cost another 2-3k. Even then I would advise to go for a new phone.
Still sus how so many RN5 pro are getting the write protected error out of nowhere in the past 15 days. I did see a couple more posts about the same here.
Hi, I have the same problem. So I did enter EDL with the two pins on the mainboard, but when I try to flash miui 12 with QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) I get authentication error. Even if I used a patched firehose programmer file. I tried 3 different patched firehose programmer files.
Does someone have a working patched firehose programmer file for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro?
So If we do not find a working patched firehose programmer file or a xiaomi developer who share his account for 5 min then I think we are not able to solve this problem..

Search it on XDA forum there are links and explanation how to use it.
Tip: use MI flash tool (start with version from 2018 and than newer....)

Did you end up solving the issue? I am also facing the exact same issue.
Hello, I need help. My Blackshark 4 Pro is stuck in the boot loop after installing the DSU file and rebooting. I accidentally didn't enable all the developer settings when I did this. I only get to the fastboot mod otherwise nothing happens there.
Can someone help me or give me some information about it? My smartphone is still brand new.
