Please help - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello i have Xiaomi Note 5 and i have a fake rom that i wanna get rid of and replace it with the real one
I wanna go to edl mode by shorting those 2 pins and flashing global rom from their fastboot site (since they do not offer china roms anymore).
My problem is that i read that xiaomi disabled edl mode with android 8.1 and i have 8.1 so will it work with the current firmware?
Am i going to be able to flash anything or im stuck here forever?

Hi

My imei is OK and baseband is ok
I would suggest you to install the latest stable rom via fastboot or EDL. Please move this post to qa by reporting to moderators. Thanks and hope you manage to fix your problem.
There are two diferent kind of redmi note 3 snapdragon - Kenzo and Kate . Are you sure what you have ? It looks like you have wrong modem
I don't get it. Why help people when they ask in the wrong section? Let them know and they should create a new thread in the right section and help them there.
Flash the latest Global Dev, It'll solve all your issues

Hi look up the edl fix on miui forum, some Russian guy has a file you run and it forces edl. Then use miflash too to flash official image. I have to use older miflash tool the new one never works.

Just install miflash 2016.04.01 for win 64 bit or 2016.08.30 for win 64 or 32 bit and flash miui rom in edl mode . Make sure you flash proper rom for your phone .

Check your IMEI. If you can't find it then make sure that you have a backup and then restore it. If not you must have a sticker at the back of the box in which the phone had come. You can check for tutorials on the internet to restore it. You also may have a sticker somewhere near the battery.

Hi, the guides you read are obsolete. In recent MIUI/bootloader the option for "soft" EDL start was removed. If you're lucky so-called "deep flash cable method" will do EDL, otherwise "test point method" will work for sure, see http://en.miui.com/thread-244814-1-1.html

Redmi Note 5 bricked / stuck in EDL mode, won't reboot

Hello, I'm having a problem. I bought mi note 5 and I wanted to install netflix which wasn't available in the play store because the bootloader was unlocked by default. I decided to lock the bootloader after which my data was erased. Since then I flashed a few roms and got stuck in boot loop.
However later I opened the phone and decided to go to EDL mode and do test point method which was successful.
Now from EDL I disconnect the battery and connect via usb cable to my computer and see the device as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
When I try to flash certain roms, I can only flash if I replace prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660.
Otherwise I get error messages like "can not read port com".
So I replace the file prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr and then successfully flash.
However after the flash the phone doesn't reboot, even if I hold different key combinations like power, or power+down+up
It always remains in EDL mode without rebooting. I can't go into fast boot mode or recovery.
I've read some suggestions in the forum to leave the battery to drain, however having 4000 mAh battery, I don't know how many days it's going to take.
I've tried almost everything without success.
If someone can help me solve this problem, I'm willing to pay.
First of all identify correctly which model do you have to find and flash the correct firmware onto your device, there´s no need to change the programmer file to flash it. so maybe you are mistaking something. I never heard about mi note 5. Maybe your model is Redmi 5 Plus (vince) or Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred).
Next flash using Mi Flash tool through EDL, no need to discharge battery so the flashing process is with cable disconnected from battery, choose in the tool "clean all" option, your device has to be recogniced in device manager as qualcomm HS-USB 9008. If at time to connect to pc you feel a vibration then restart again the process. Provide some screenshot from MiFlash tool if you don´t solve the issue.
I have this model "Redmi Note 5" It's not plus but it should be using whyred as well I think.
Global-ROM-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-5-4GB-RAM-64GB-ROM-Smartphone-Snapdragon-636-Octa-Core-5
I can't paste the URL here, but if you go to aliexpress dot com you can enter 32879736597 in the search and it's gonna show up.
I am trying to flash through EDL with a fastboot rom from en.miu dot com/a-234.html ★ Redmi Note 5 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download (whyred_global_images_V10.0.6.0.OEIMIFH_20181127.0000.00_8.1_global_8fdb6af8d8.tgz)
I have already disconnected the battery cable and the phone is being detected as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in device manager.
I am choosing clean all option, but the rom will flash only if I overwrite the 2 firehose files inside the "images" directory.
It then starts flashing and finishes after about 200 secs with "success", however it doesn't reboot or vibrate after that.
If I try to flash with the original whyred_global_images_V10.0.6.0.OEIMIFH_20181127.0000.00_8.1_global_8fdb6af8d8.tgz it starts the flash process and after 10 secs I get "can not read from port COM1"

The guy linked to this site https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Glo...e-Snapdragon-636-Octa-Core-5/32879736597.html so his device is Redmi Note 5 (launched in march and called firstly as global due to the bands added) AKA Pro codename; Whyred.
He tried to relock officially a device unlocked unofficially and also he didn´t know about ARB.

Here you go for Whyred .. Found it here
Still haven't found a solution to this problem. The phone got hard bricked. It always gets detected as Qualcomm 9008 usb and I can flash many roms with QFIL or MiFlash but none of them seems to work. Phone simply won't start. Tried the anti-test rom too - flash is good, after that it just won't boot.
I have no fastboot or recovery.
Flashing stock roms never works. I get "can not read from port COM xy" every time.
If I put the programmer's file prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf in stock rom's images directory then I can flash, but the phone doesn't boot afterwards.
One day by mistake I flashed wrong rom - wayne (also using custom prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf) and surprise the phone booted and vibrated with a message "press any key to shutdown" I see also fastboot but it doesn't work, won't connect to PC because it's the fastboot mode for another cell phone modem, not for redmi note 5 pro
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera
It seems that your phone is Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera (vince) not Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro
(whyred), so, flash a stock vince firmware.
Good luck !

Need Guide to unbrick Redmi Note 4 Mediatek

I bought RN 4 Mediatek with the cheapest deal, 4/46, Its still usable, n i forgot to do overall check coz its cheap
The issues :
1. i cant log on my Mi Account, coz everytime i do that, the notif 'getting security info' shows, n it never stop
2. I cant update apps in playstore. I can install new apps from apkpure site but it need to reboot
3. Everytime after reboot, a 'wait for debugger to attach' notif slways shows, n its related to Mi Find Device
So i assumed this RN 4 is Bricked n now i need HELP to UNBRICK it n i wish someone know also the test point. Coz like i used to unbrick other Mi phones, flashing via test point can fix all software issue
PLEASE HELP
T.I.A
First of all it's technically not bricked but considering that it's a cheap deal that probably means it's used and I hope you got the MI account that can unlock this phone, been long since I used miui on my note 4 so I dunno what happenes if you don't have it
but anyway here are some tips
1- if the device is unlocked try wiping all user data through the miui recovery (or if it has other recovery like twrp)
2- if the device isn't but you can still access fastboot then you might be able to erase the user data using
[fastboot erase userdata]
That's ocourse that means you need fastboot on your PC Abd also the device USB drivers
3- if that's still not working you might need to actua flash a stock ROM using MiFlash tool, while you're at it look for "deep flash" cause in my case just flashing in fastboot mode had so many troubles, but in download mode it went perfect
PS: I entered the download mode on my note 4 through fastboot code that I really can't remember right now, try this before resorting to short circuiting your device for download mode

Bricked Mi A3 after failed downgrade (apparently)

I´m pretty sure I hardbricked my smartphone. I tried to downgrade from A11 since it messed up my touchscreen, but the process of flashing the older ROM (V11.0.10.0.QFQEUXM) stopped and my phone wont start since then. I know its not completly dead since its recognized on Windows as QDLoader 9008, but I cant flash the ROM I mentioned through MiFlash (using 2020-03-14, also tried 2018-05-28 and 2018-11-15 without success) since it always gives the error "cannot recieve hello packet" (sometimes "cannot read from COM" before that).
It´s worth to mention that I have the EU version, not global, I haven´t opened the back of the phone and I´d rather not to do it, the notification LED is always off and I have ADB, fastboot and the Qualcomm drivers installed. Any idea of what can I do next?
Exactly problem I faced to the T. Same error and everything. The only solution is to go to the device centre and lie android 11 update did it. That's what I did.
Me too, broken touchscreen after update to A11, try to downgrade and my a3 was bricked. I believe that process triggered Android verified boot (anti rollback) and make our a3 bricked. You should bring your phone to service center because you cannot flash through EDL mode without xiaomi authorized account. I'm in Vietnam, service center fixed my A3 for free, even bootloader unlocked
sorry but you can flash stock a11 by qfile and your phone will back to life again
