how turn-off bricked redmi note 5?

Hi
I brick my Redmi Note 5 with locking bootloader. Now phone boot into Recovery mode and restart after 2 or 3 minute into recovery mode again.
I can switch to Fastboot mode to, BUT I CANT POWER OFF PHONE ANYWAY.
I use combination of:
(Volume +) & (power)
(Volume -) & (power)
(Volume +) & (Volume -) & (power)
But in all combination phone will restart and don't power off.
How can turn off my phone to use EDL (deep flash) Cable?
Thanks

Open your phone and disconnect the battery (the last chance i think)
What type of Recovery do you have? Usually recovery have an option to shut down the device.

charge the phone and use combination to off it

Try from ADB/Fastboot this command
adb shell su -c 'am start -a com.android.internal.intent.action.REQUEST_SHUTDOWN'
I've never used it, if you can't access Fastboot mode you need to disconnect the battery

Please Help, Redmi Note 8 Pro is bricked.

On android 9 i flashed preloader and ik, then installed custom rom(pixel expierience). I used it for a week. For some reason, i think either fingerprint or battery. The phone shut down.
When I press the power button, it turns on, does not show redmi logo then switches off after 2 seconds. When I charge, it does the same thing repeatedly. SInce the screen switches off after a second, I cannot boot to fastboot or recovery. If I press power and volume up, it goes to the preloader menu, when I press normal boot or recovery, it shuts down again. I do not know what to do now. Do I use miflash or sp flash tools. Or do I have to do to send it to mi service center.
I cannot let the battery drain because It automatically switches off.
Im not sure whether I have to charge it or drain it. For some reason the phone keeps switching on when charging then shutting down.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why did you flash preloader and lk image and then download custom rom? So to fix it I can only advice to take off battery.

Try this...
Posted it yesterday message me if you need some help...

So if you already flash preloader and lk file then you can easily unbrick your device using sp flash tool without any authorise account. Just download any fastboot rom for your redmi note 8 pro and install mi flash pro tool or sp flash tool in your pc/mac. And then in sp flash tool select scatter file which is on images in your download rom and select da and auth file which is in your install location generally in your c drive. After select all files click on download and after that plug in usb with your device while holding vol up button then it will flash rom automatically. Only you need to wait some time. But keep in mind if you don't flash those preloader and lk file then you need authorise account for flashing.
I hope this will help.

Question can't get into edl mode

how can I get oneplus 9 pro into edl mode while it's refusing to turn off?
keep in mind that I can't use adb. but was able get fastboot devices command to work
and I did not use any third party roms, didn't unlock the bootloader, and do not have root.
I just updated to the latest oxygen os 12 c44
I have tried: fastboot edl reboot, fastboot oem edl, fastboot edl-reboot and none of them worked
I need a way to make it go into edl mode

Have to tried with the button combo? if yes what was the result?

the button combo as in vol+ and vol-
yes I did
I tried to force reboot... and as soon as it tries to reboot I hit the button combo
it takes me back to the fastboot

I had the same issue yesterday and this is what worked for me. Takes a few tries. Just be sure all drivers are good. Without being connected to the pc do the button combo, after a second plug it into the pc with MSM open whilst continuing the button combo. The screen will give a quick flicker of black/green and It will eventually connect to the MSM tool.

Make sure you have the proper driver installed. And try using a different cable that the C cable that came with OP9 Pro.... If you are sure the driver is installed, do the following.
1. Open MSM tool and select required options.
2. Make sure he mobile is switched off.
3. Connect the USB cable to the computer and then connect the other end to mobile while holding vol + and - buttons. It will then show connected in MSM tool for 2 or 3 seconds. Immedeately click "start" in MSM.
This worked for me.

Thanks you guys
it worked for me
I am now able to get into edl mode

Thanks! The trick with a different than the OEM cable helped me. I have flashed a different .ops file than the one on my OnePlus 8 (wanted to transition from T-Mobile to Global), and after that, the phone was booting straight into fastboot, without the possibility to boot into edl or recovery...

I tried everything without it working until I finally switched to an Anker cable that came with a battery bank. Using the key combo it worked perfect. Just putting this out there. Thanks everyone!

Question phone has bricked itself without seeing a solution

I do not know in depth about all this stuff, I've just been thrown into it because my phone decided to brick itself in a system update after it got into my hands. I updated it and it went into crash dump, a few times, the just nonstop boot looped with the oneplus logo on, and some pixels bugging, then it stopped showing the oneplus logo all together and just boot loops, I can go into fast boot and nothing else, if I restart bootloader it now goes to a charge menu and rarely actually restarts fast boot, I just tried msm and I've tried booting into twrp but it wont work, i believe this is because the phone wont connect to my pc properly but i have tried universal adb drivers, new sdk, and official QUALCOMM ones to all get the same result of appearing in device manager as just andrioud and nothing else with no options for drivers, on msm it would show up but it wouldn't get past waiting for device. also i cant find a proper twrp rom for the 9 pro on here, atleast the stock one, nor can i find it anywhere else, i can only find the img. also i feel I'm missing something with flashing on the fastboot and am not seeing if I'm supposed to be doing something (of the limited things i can do) on the phone, or its all in commands and stuff on here. sorry this is horribly written, I'm tired and stressed because of this.

Search stock rom and download
unzip rom ,connect your phone in download mode and flash STOCK ROM.

I suggest to try the MSM tool again.
MSM tool for OP9pro you can find here : MSM tool OP9pro
More guides how to use it find here : MSM guide

You shod download "EDL" tool (even called MSN)
unzip and exetute ad admin (read specifications and troubleshooting in the related thread)
ensure tour phone is off
press and keep both volume buttons while connecting it to PC
then the COM X connection should become "green + connected"
go with "start" and just wait the processo to end

Download mode is not vol up + power, that's bootloader
EDL (Download mode) is both vol buttons + power
It should show up in the device manager on the computer as a Qualcomm device if it's worked correctly.

EDL mode is NOT both Volume buttons + Power, it's just HOLDING BOTH THE VOLUME BUTTONS and WHILE HOLDING THE VOLUME BUTTONS, CONNECT THE USB CABLE. The phone needs to be in a switched OFF state before doing this.
By holding both volume buttons and the power button, you will force restart your phone into bootloader mode (fastboot mode).
And VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON is recovery mode.

Question Need help unbricking -> EDL not accessible for MSM

[SOLVED see post below]
Hi all,
Just bricked my Phone and can't access MSM. Hope you can help me. I will try to be very clear on the steps I took to get to this point.
Device: EU OnePlus 9 Pro
What is was trying to do: Go from rooted C.47 to Pixel Entended ROM
What I did:
Code:
Unrooted using Magisk uninstall option
Updated to c.48 through OTA
Go to lineageOS page on how to ensure all firmware partitions are consistent
very stupidly did not flash dtbo and vendor boot partition
did adb reboot fastboot in stead of abd reboot bootloader
Download the "lineage-19.1-20220701-recovery-lemonadep.img" and tried to temporaryly flash it by
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
This resulted in the device getting stuck on the 1+ boot logo.
I can still force turn it off by holding Volume Up + Power.
When I try to access EDL by turned off and Vol UP + Vol Down + Plug and release, My PC makes a connection sound and the screen stay black for a while. After +- 10 seconds, the PC makes a disconnection sound and the phone boots up and gets stuck again on the 1+ bootup icon.
Also my phone won't stay turned off when plugged in the charger or pc

Yes, but what is it presenting as (i.e. EDL, fastboot, ADB, UMS...) when it connects?
If this is Windows, UsbLog.exe is handy to identify things popping up (as long as they have drivers installed).
For a list of devices that have ever tried to connect, try "enumusb.exe /l".
Both available here: https://www.temblast.com/windows.htm

I will try this

I found the issue:
> EDL exits after 10 seconds if it is not captured by the MSM tool.
> The MSM tool only monitored 4 of my 10 USB ports
> So it was not captured because I was plugged in to an unmonitored USB port and rebooted after 10 seconds
> I have successfully used the MSM tool now

Oh! A bit off-topic, but I have never understood why EDL is commonly used over a "serial" port.
The interface that EDL presents is a generic USB bulk interface with two endpoints. You can use it just like that.
But no. They have to use a Qualcomm driver that makes it look like a "serial" port and then you can connect to that.
Me? I use a generic "WinUSB" Zadig driver. I have an EDL client that just connects to that fine.
So does the Python client implementation.
Also, I've never run into that 10 second timeout.

Your phone needs to be in OFF state mode when you're using EDL.
So, very simple:
Enter bootloader mode by holding both volume buttons with the power button together till your phone restarts and enters the bootloader.
From the bootloader screen you can use the volume buttons to navigate through the choices and you can select "Switch off".
When you complete this, you need to hold both volume buttons, and while holding them connect the cable (PC).
If you don't have or you don't have the correct Qualcomm EDL drivers installed, your phone will reboot or start to boot, it won't stay in EDL mode for longer than 10 seconds.
I also got the correct drivers for you, but you need to install the drivers manually while your device is in "EDL" mode, so, you need to be a bit "fast".
I have even a video for you, but need to upload it to YouTube so you can watch it.
I'll share you here the drivers just in case if you're familiar with a manual installation of the drivers.
