So I downloaded pixelos and wished to revert to stock miui, i was using the miflash tool and in the first few seconds my usb disconnected. Then i could not exit fastboot no matter what I pressed. I've tried to flash miui again but am getting the error "data transfer error" and "data transfer time unknown". I could really use the help. Thank you
This kind of crap happened to my Redmi K30 Pro as well. The only difference is that mine did not turn on anymore after I tried to restart it. Both Recovery Mode and Fastboot are unaccessible.
I think there's always a risk going from a custom rom back to miui, specially so when using fastboot.
If u can access EDL mode either via touch point or EDL Usb cable, do that and try flashing the MIUI again through Mi-Flash. Make sure you're using the same MiAccount and hope they will flag it as authorized, otherwise you'll be forced to take it to a service center and have the whole motherboard replaced.
You can also use QFIL but that's a unreliable tool and it always spouts out Sahara error messages.

I am not familliar with EDL mode, any tutorials you know to get into that? I really appreciate it.
Google is your bestfriend. If ur going with touch point method, know that it will void the warranty as you'll have to open it and short the pins, to invoke EDL mode.
EDL cable is advisable so try that first and follow the instructions that came with the package. It's a cable with a button.

And once im in EDL mode, do i just have to try the miflash tool again?
Also can i try get TWRP again and try boot a rom from there, could that be possible?
If u can access the recovery mode then try that first.
For EDL mode, yes you have to use MiFlash for this. Make sure you're using the same Mi Account that you've used when you unlocked the bootloader and do not remove the device from the Mi Account. This way, it will recognized it as authorized and it will flash successfully.

Okay I've managed to get TWRP installed, any idea what to do from here?
I'm sure you're knowledgeable in flashing, and knows how to use google. I'm sure u also know that accessing TWRP is a good sign and u can now access fastboot or EDL via adb from there.

I've only flashed one custom rom so not too knowledgable, I would probably try to get a miui recovery file and transfer it to my phone and then install from twrp. I think that would work
Also i cant decrypt my data despite entering the only pin I have ever used

Hello,
I tried to flash my phone from global 8.0.3.0 stable to 8.2.4.0MAGCNDL China Stable. Miflash said flashing was successfull, but then I started my phone and was on a bootloop.
I cannot access edl mode via deep flash cable anymore, it´s just loading. My phone isn´t unlocked that´s why i can´t flash over fastboot. I already tried to the recover mode and downloaded a chinese version of Mi Pc Suite. It detects my device but when I try to recover it switches for like 3 secs to the right screen but then immediately switchs back to the first screen (connect device).
One thing i´ve noticed is there is an option to choose a xiaomi ota file, what is that, because I can´t find anything.
Is there any hope for my phone?
Not good, you shouldent even try to flash china stable(you can but why). so, i think you should enter EDL with testpoints, or you can try do hard reset, maybe this will work.
use this method and then flash your mi5s with stable global.

Download Mi PC suite china version then enter recovery mode and connect the phone to pc,let it make the update and your done.

Not working, it just stops immediatly the process, if I press recover
Then u need to connect the phone via USB 2 not 3 and install the correct driver's. The phone must be detected Android adb interface

I´ve installed all drivers and it´s connected to a usb 2 port. Phone is in Device Manager under "Kedacom USB Device/Android ADB Interface"
if you cannat connect the phone as edl,you should give it to mobile repaire center and they fix it with boot boxes for you.
Thanks for all your help guys, I finally recovered my phone and I´m on Lineage OS now.
Hi,
My phone got a message about a virus which I assumed was a devious add, it wouldn't go away so I rebooted. It has gone into Mi-Recovery 3.0 and I cant get out. I've tried to connect to PC suite but it won't connect to my laptop
without debugging, which I can't do. I've wiped data but no good. Any ideas?
Flash full rom img via EDL mode and MiFlash software. Check out the official forums how to do it all.
For me the command fastboot oem edl works to get into edl mode.

Thank you for answering. I have downloaded a full rom and the MiFlash software. I have made an EDL cable but nothing happens. From what I read it says turn the phone off and connect the modified cable and it will enter EDL mode however it just stays on the Mi-Recovery 3.0 page. I've tried the command line you suggest but that can't find the phone. I've also tried the test point method and still can't get into edl mode. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry, I'm new to this so don't really know what I'm doing. Would you be able to give me some easy to follow advise or some links please.

You need your normal USB C cable. When you are in fastboot you need to type "fastboot oem edl" your screen will go to black and you are now in EDL mode. Now flash full img via miflash software.

I cant get to fastboot as I'm stuck in Recovery. My only choices are Reboot to System and Back to Main Menu. When I'm in Main Menu my choices are Reboot, Wipe Data or Connect with MIAssistant.

When you turn off the phone and press vol down + power what does that do?
It shows the Mi start screen then boots strait into recovery Main Menu. I can't turn the phone off without it rebooting.
Does anyone know how I can get around this? I've run out of things to try.
Did you try reflashing the recovery maybe that fixes it?

Can you explain how I do that? I can't connect to my computer so not sure what you mean. I'm new at this so unsure of the options.

Is there no way of getting out of stock recovery?
Maybe your volume rocker buttons are faulty .
Happened with one of my friend his device was only booting into recovery mode on reboot because vol+ button was permanently stuck ?
Try to lift up the button if it is stuck or
press button repeatedly for sometime .
Ashish 289, you are right, it was a faulty volume rocker. Once disconnected it booted. Thanks.

Have you try using edl method?
But at least can you access fastboot first, using power off + volume down
If you could, then it can boot into edl mode using tools provided from the internet, there are many of them
And flash fastboot firmware using MI flash or Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL)

No, I tried but nothing happens.I can't enter fastboot and nothing appears other than that logo. I think the device is completely bricked and I don't think I can fix this.Thanks for your time.

Because I have another xiaomi device before, and it also get into penguin logo, and I can assure that my device has no installed os too
But because most of xiaomi phone chipset is Qualcomm, and Qualcomm device has edl mode, to flash image
And sure with my bricked device (stuck in penguin logo), I still able to access edl mode
But it was my old phone, not Redmi Note 5A, and I'm searching for how to enter edl mode on Note 5A, the process is you must use test point inside the device
Other than that, I don't know though
But if for my old phone (Redmi 2 Prime) the procedure is press volume down, then insert USB cable that connected to pc, then I can start to flash using QFIL

you can reflash ROM by using EDL method which you have to shortcircuit some pins to enter EDL, it is pretty easy if you have the tools. After reflashing it, reboot and it should be okay.

Hi guys!
I tried to put the android 10 korean beta on my LG G7 ThinQ g710TM T-Mobile, and now it doesn't turn on, the laptop recognizes it as QUALCOMM 9008 MODE I just need to know if its trash already or there's a way that can unbrick the phone (really stupid I know)
Thank you in advance!
If the phone wasn't a T-Mobile:
May be able to flash v35.eng img onto the phone's abl_a partition (make sure this is backed up), then use fastboot commands to copy over the laf_a/_b files of the stock img. Then use download mode to revert back to Android 8/oreo.
May need to use, fastboot boot laf.img, to get onto download mode, as suggested here.
It was a t mobile damn never go for a t mobile again REALLY

I tried this method 2 days ago but for some reason when I try STEP 7: It says "Extracting kdz to ..." so I tried to wait a WHILE but after 4 hours of wait nothing happened so I was unable to do the next steps
Does it matter if the Phyton says that it was the end of its life?
Thank you so much for your post tho I believe you helped other people
Don't throw it away, I think there's a fix with QFIL.
I'm having a similar problem, but in my case I managed to accidentally erase laf_b from QFIL and this has corrupted my GPT. Now the QFIL partitioner can't see my partitions. Can you help? I may need a flat pack or something? I'm stuck in 9008 mode. The bootloader was unlocked but I couldn't get into fastboot to install TWRP and Lineage OS, so I ended up trying to erase laf_a and laf_b like it says to do in the V40 Qfil guide. Big mistake. Qfil and windows both recognize it as a 9008 device on Com3, but can't access the partitions.
I got the phone from a friend and i'm in the same position. The method from Awesomeslayerg just gives me sahara error

I don't have another PC to try it on. I been trying other ports and nothing. As I use my tweezers to put the phone in EDL I press download and still the error.
I don't know if this phone is T-Mobile or not. The IMEI shows T-Mobile but inside the phone shows numbers for Verizon

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.

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
