P9 Lite VNS-L23 model not entering fastboot - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI Guys,
Hope you can help me with this, I've been doing a few test on my p9 lite and just recently I had to recover it via the dload option, I downloaded the official ROM 7.0 for my phone and it installed with no problem, at first it all worked fine, I started seeing problems like bluetooth is not working and my camera wont load anymore, I decided to install a different ROM but it wont let me access fastboot anymore.
I tried vol down + power key = phone boots up normally
I tried vol down + usb cable = phone boots up normally (i tried different cables and pcs)
I tried vol up + power key = It enters stock recovery
I tried factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik from stock recovery and still bluetooth/camera/fastboot are not working
The phone also didn’t work with MTP to transfer files to/from on my pc linux/windows/mac
I need help on getting fastboot to work so that i can use a custom recovery and install a custom ROM, I have search over for a guide on how to fix this problem but I haven’t been lucky yet.
Exact version I am running VNS-L23C605B376
EMUI 5.0

how do you solved your problem with huawei u8180? i have the same isue.
Sorry to bump an old thread
I'm having the exact same problem.
Rooted the 8180 with SuperOneClick, installed Rom Manager, from Rom Manager installed CWM 8160 version with sucess, and whenever trying to boot into recovery mod the phone just hangs while showing the hourglass icon.
I tried reflashing the CWM and it still hangs
Im still running the stock firmware/rom
Can you share how you solved this problem?
Hi, I had a similar issue and did a reboot in to the CWM by holding power, volume up and the "search button" (?) the right one any way. Then did a wipe/factory reset.

So you could only boot into CWM by pressing power+volume+search? The regular way (power+volume) would lock up like it does to me, is that it?
Anyway I tried your key combination and it still freezes...

Bug with rom manager, you should try flashing atleast 3 times and then try and go into recovery, happened to me also, just flash again through rom amanager.

Hi,as for the fastboot instructions - I've found this to be a great help in getting adb and fastboot to work on my Win7 x64 installs,so you might want to give it a try. Also,I'm gonna upload in a bit the earlier recovery + recovery manager (if you want to try that before you play around with adb/fastboot) to flash it to your device + the device drivers.
Edit - The link for the file - http://ubuntuone.com/14mi7lUkJelsrNBr4z5Uy2 - 12.5 MB - contains the older recovery (you can still try to flash the newer one first if you want), 2 different driver packs and the aforementioned recovery manager.

Thank you! Im trying recovery manager as I type this, I find it curious it says "Currently installed recovery: unrecognized"
As for the driver, I already had it installed from when I rooted the phone.
EDIT: So I installed the up to date recovery (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-u8160) with Recovery Manager, still unrecognized and still freezes after booting into recovery.
Installed the one you supplied (ClockworkMod-u8160-v0.1) and got the exact same results, unrecognized and freeze

In that case you might want to try the doomsday option - fastboot (not really,hell - it's actually rather useful + if you follow that website you also get adb up and working too). As for the 'unrecognized' alert,I remember getting it too once upon a time,but I have to admit - I haven't used the app myself since when I made the jump from the stock 2.2.1 ROM to a custom froyo build,so I can't recall for the moment what I did to fix that error

Will do. Besides the fastboot recovery command what else do I need to do from the phone side?
Does fastboot display any feedback or log about the flashing/installation?

Nothing specific -you just have to reboot in fastboot mode (just restart the phone while pressing Power and Volume Down. Windows should chirp and install the drivers automagically - afterwards just use that command discussed earlier and it should flash your recovery without any additional prompts (it should only print out a confirmation of a successful flash) and you should have the CWM ready to go
Edit: I put my device into fastboot mode on a clean Windows install (a Win8 Consumer Preview) and it did autodetect and install the relevant driver without restarting itself
No luck... Now it's driver issues
When booting the phone with either the vol up or down pressed and pluging in the USB my PC isn't recognizing the driver, I used both drivers you sent me.
Initially it's detected as Android 1.0 device, upon fetching the drivers it gets named "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface".
As I refresh device manager it goes back to Android 1.0 with an exclamation mark.
I think it's a driver signature issue, I'll try again in a couple of hours in a different PC
edit:in debug mode I have no driver issues and I can even detect my phone with ADB
Finally!
Tried it in another computer, auto downloaded some ASUS adb driver and installed fine.
Flashed latest CWM recovery with fastboot and now I'm able to boot into CWM!
Thank you so much for your help!
Sry for bumping.
So, i had the same trouble with the drivers. But i just downloaded HiSuite directly from the Huawei Site and these fix my problem with drivers to use adb without troubles . Hope this help someone.
BTW, Thanks bk109!
It did helped me thx man

Huawei Y6, how to remove FRP?

Hi guys, i got the Huawei Y6 SCL-L01 phone and i wanted to install a custom rom, so i tried to install TWRP first, but since there wasn't a Y6 version (there isn't a Y6 version for anything pf ) i used the P8 version and it installed but when it rebooted the phone was stuck at a screen that say FASTBOOT & RESCUE MODE. The phone seems to be unlocked according to that screen but the FRP is loocked.
Things i've tried so far
Installed ADB latest version, extracted Recovery Cust System and Boot images from an official stock ROM.
Tried all available drivers from Google TP_Link and Intel for my phone.
The screen i am stuck does not work with ADB commands, the device is not recognized.
Fastboot commands work and it sees the device correctly, the problem is every time i try to flash the images from the stock rom i get FAILED message due to FRP Lock.
Format userdata and cache doesn't work either.
Vol + / - and Power button combinations also have no effect, it only shows that screen regardless of what i press.
I've searched the web and the XDA forums extensively since this happened and tried every possible solution i could find even if it was meant for another device.. no luck.
And here's my question, how can i possibly remove the FRP lock by only using fastboot?
Please somebody help, i am like half a day away from decorating the wall with this piece of ****
PS: I am not able to upload screenshots, sorry about that.

I'm stuck with this problem too. The exact problem. Have you found a way to fix it?
I have exactly the same problem with my Huawei Tablet.
If I boot with the original ROM and look in the "/log" - directory with adb shell, there is a cust.log. The contents say, that the specific ROM is not original or factory.
I think even the bootloader is unlocked, there is a kind of signature checking.
EDIT: @Asdforcer: Have you tried to boot the original boot.rom with "fastboot boot" - command?

Try to unlock your bootloader

vodafone tab speed 6 vf-1397 vf1397 stuck checking connection request firmware/help

could anyone help with a seemingly bricked tab speed 6, attempted to root using kingoroot and it failed causing connection issues to google so i was unable to add a account, after hard reset and booting in to recovery i have wiped the cache and reset to factory, however now the tablet is stuck on checking connection and doesn't go any further with or without sim card.
after searching and searching i have come up with nothing apart from this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/stock-rom-vodafone-speed-tab-6-vf-1397-t3329343
it looks as though he is having the same problem.
assuming kingoroot has corrupted the rom and i need to reflash to repair it,
i don't know if it is a generic tablet it appears to be made by alcatel but im unsure.
i also do not know if i could use a firmware from another device or even custom rom, anything will do as long as it doesn't end up in the bin
i also have another which hasnt been messed with and was wondering if it would be possible to back up the rom from it and reflash it to the bricked one, if so could anyone steer me in the right direction
could anyone help me locate as rom and flashing tool that will help
thanks in advance, apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.
You said you had a second one, you don't have to root it, just follow this tutorial and hopefully you should be good to go.
no bootloader
hi thanks for your reply however upon backing up the other tablet, it had still not solved the problem does that tutorial back up the Rom or just system files I created the backup.ab and used adb recovery to no avail...., however, I gave up on this method and was going to use a custom recovery on the the working tablet to back up the rom, however when I tell adb to reboot to the downloader it just reboots the tablet there seams to be no downloader on either tablet, so even if I had the rom it appears I could not flash it via the downloader as I can't get to it, nor sd card as there is no option to flash it, it's really bugging me now as it's obviously only soft bricked, any more help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance also to add fastboot lists the device but when I tell it write the recovery it says waiting for device
inexperience
thanks for the help I am quiet inexperienced but determined so any help pointing me in the right direction would help thanks

What command do you do to tell adb to reboot to download? What command to you give fastboot to flash the recovery?
hi thanks for the quick reply im ujsing adb reboot-bootloader , it reboots the tablet and then greats me with the vodafone start up logo then asks me which country im in, as for attempting to flash with fastboot ive tried fastboot oem unlock to unlock the bootloader ( says waiting for device) ive also tried adb push c:\adb\backup.ab ( doesnt seam to recognise the psush command as it cycles through all available commands , and attempted to flash recovery with fastboot flash recvovery cwm.zip ( says waiting for device) adb reboot sideload just reboots the tablet same as adb reboot bootloader, thanks for all your help.., ikt is really bugging me i appreciate your time.
I don't know if download mode is accessed differently I've found this post that seems to Suggest hold volume up and down then connect until battery charging appears http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f272/vf-1397-a-2047715/ this is for unlocking it seems, but don't seam to be able to get it to work, earlier I removed root with kingoroot from kingoroot app, also to no avail and rooted again both root removal and rooting were successful but still tablet stays on the checking connection screen when rebooted, I was hoping the removal may of fixed the issue but no...., I was thinking if I could get back custom recovery on it I could do the same to the working one I have begrudgingly so I could back up the working ones rom and use it to flash the bricked one, but I don't really want to risk bricking that one either, but was considering finding another rom from another model the same chipset and flash it with that but obviously no download mode means I can't do it..
if it's any help The recovery mode states android system recovery <3e>
LMY47V release keys
reboot system now
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
power down
enable adb
they are the only options,
again thanks for all your time and effort

You can't always unlock the bootloader via that command and you'll need to have the bootloader unlocked to flash a custom recovery, if you can find stock images on the web you can flash them via fastboot.
---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------
Also to restore an adb backup you do "adb restore filename".
unfortunately there is no stock image anywhere on the Web, is there a good app I could use to save the rom from the working tablet without rooting, really don't want to risk rooting the working tablet

Did it work? I see you left a "thanks" so I assume something happened.
hi, I give up on the tablet, I've been asked to see if I can give it another go, but don't know where to start, I still have a working one but no idea how to get the rom from the working one to the bricked one. thanks for the help you gave me to begin with.

I have a couple tricks up my sleeve and that is, you know how you said when you ran adb reboot bootloader? Run adb shell instead and it should give you a command explorer, from there, type "su" and report results, you should see either a root request on the device or a hash sign in the coommand shell.
Just a quick question
Did you ever manage to get it working if so how did you go about doing it as i attempted to install a custom boot animation and it appears to be stuck in a constant boot loop as such i'm not really sure what to do with it or if it is savable. Any response would be helpful. Thanks.

[Ulefone Power2][Solution] for INSUFFICIENT BUFFER or Status_Sec_IMGHDR_Type_Mismatch

So i wanted to flash a new firmware on my MTK Device (UleFone Power 2), but i ran into some Errors while doing so, thus , my phone died in the process.
Following Errors occurred, depending on which (SP Flash Tool;SPMultidownloadflashtool;etc) you use:
Errors:
Internal Buffer
STATUS_SEC_IMGHDR_TYPE_MISMATCH
Through digging and asking on the web, two wonderful and very very helpful people: alterogi and finally Sunray888
This solution popped up. Thank you so much to both of them!!
Solution:
But first: You are now warned, try this at your own risk.
Quoted from Sunray888, alterogi. Credits to them.
My German Guide (more detailed with Pictures): Outside of XDA
Side Note: For the UP2 Rom you use SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject , for the UK6P ROm you use SPFlashTool.
(Links & Attachments below!) (Adb-Fastboot.zip & Checksum.zip)
Part1:
1. Download all the files. (Below are the links and attached files.
2. Extract each zip to its own folder. Then Put the files of the Checksum.zip into the ROM Folder of the Ulefone Power 2.
3. Run the Checksum.exe and wait until it is done. It will show up in the black CMD when it's finished. A new Checksum.ini should be in the folder now.
Part2:
1. Make a backup of your NVRAM and NVDATA, a full ROM backup if you can.
2. Get the Oukitel K6000 Plus ROm Version 2.0 Ready. Extract it to its own folder somewhere on your desktop.
3. Open the SPFlashtool and select the android scatter file of the Oukitel Rom.
4. Connect your phone, hold Volume down and press on "Download" in the SPFlashTool. Now you wait for the process to end, WHILE still holding the button down.
5. After it is done flashing your new Firmware unto your phone, start it like you would normally do. Disconnect your phone now. You can now also skip the Setup Details, since we still have to flash the original Firmware.
6. Go to Device Infos on the bottom of your phone settings, tap a few times on Build Number until the Developer Options activate. Go back and tap on Developer Options.
7. In here you activate OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. Back to the pc: Now you open a CMD Windows and navigate to your extracted ADB-Fastboot Folder. (Some Pictures of this are on my German Tutorial Thread, Link above).
8.Connect your phone, tick the avaible spot of the upcoming new popup notification. Shutdown your phone now. Hold Volume Up and Power Button at the SAME Time until the Fastboot Menu pops up.
Make sure your phone is still connected to the pc.
9. In the cmd window you will now have to type the following thing: fastboot oem unlock
9.5 Another Method to get into fastboot mode: (OR enabled usb debug, accept connection between your PC and Ulephone and send command fastboot reboot bootloader after that "fastboot oem unlock")
10. After the process is done. You are still in fastboot mode.
And let the phone connected to the Pc.
11. Now you have to flash the original ROM/Firmware. In this case only Version 17 will work.
On this step i had a lot issues with "insufficient buffer"-Errors under SP Flash tool, but there is a solution for this.
Be careful :
Try to use #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject Version 3.1620 - only this software worked for me,earlier Versions i tried ( v.3.1636 ) always showed an Error.
Current Status: Phone is still connected to pc, fastboot mode, oem has just been unlocked by yourself.
What to do now:
12 Open the SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject, load scatter file of the Ulefone Power 2 Firmware, then press scan. Nothing will happen now, so be quick: Don't disconnect your phone.
Press Volume Up + Power Button at the same time to simulate a new connection to the pc. While the phone is still connected via cable! We have to do this. You will now hear a sound which you normally would here when connecting a new device to your Pc. Now you just have to keep holding the Volume Up Key.
IMPORTANT:
Don't let go of the button until the Programm shows up a Green Tick which signals the end of the Process. Now you can let go of the button.
13. After the scan has finished, press start and flash firmware. But how? It's easy. Just do the same again. ->>
13.1 Press Start in the Flash Programm.
13.2 We have to simulate a new connection. Hold Vol+ and Power Button. Until you hear the sound again, now only keep holding the Vol+ Button.
14. Wait for the green Tick Notification. Until then: Don't you dare let go of the Vol+ Button. When it shows up, you're pretty much done. Congrats!
15. Restore NVRAM and NVDATA.[/I] through mtk engineering mode: open dialer and call *#*#3646633#*#* , scroll down to GRPS and type in your IMEI (can be found in the box, in which your phone came shipped with). If it says something like that it's successfully written.-> Activate Airplanemode, wait a few seconds, deactivate it, activate Mobile Data Connection and wait. It should show a mobile data active.
Download Links: (I didn't upload those files,i simply shared the links, all credits to their respective owners. Use at your own risk.!)
UP2 Rom: Google Drive
Flashtool for UP2 Rom: One Drive
UK6P 2.0 + Flashtool: Click me
Checksum Gen Zip: --Below--
ADB Components: --Below--
UPDATING:
After flashing V15 Ulefone Firmware, use the SP FLASH TOOL to flash the newest firmware via "Firmware Upgrade" mode. remember to keep pushing vol up before connecting phone!
How to:
Press Download in Tool
Push and hold vol up
Connect cable to pc.
wait until green tick shows up.
Profit.
Same situation here. I've tried flashing with and without battery, no success. I can confirm that I did NOT lock the bootloader. Not that it helps me much.
I've tried using different versions of SPFT in addition to the multiport tool, but they either don't work with Power 2 scatter file, or show the same error.
This can potentially be a driver / USB issue, so I will probably try that next (different computer, fiddle with the drivers). I've also seen claims that SPFT v3 can happily flash over this, and then newer versions start working too, so try that if you can. It did not work for me - the download never starts on my computer with v3.
I can also add that I can flash preloader as well, although I try and leave that off when possible. The modem and lk* partitions show the same error you have, though, and the phone is dead.
I have managed to resolve this with a lot of help from Vivanyok on 4pda.
1. Make a backup of your NVRAM and NVDATA, a full ROM backup if you can.
2. Download Oukitel K6000 Plus ROM v2.0. Only this version will work.
3. Flash it. It will actually work just fine, no errors. I've used the latest SPFT.
4. Boot the phone into Android. In Developer Options, enable OEM Unlock.
5. Reboot into fastboot, do fastboot oem unlock.
6. After this, you can simply flash any Ulefone ROM for Power 2. Win!
7. Restore NVRAM and NVDATA.
Hope this helps somebody.
Thanks for your reply!! I will try that and report back ! I'm so glad there are people out here who help !
EDIT: OMG, You are my hero!!! The Flash Process went just fine, no errors. It boots up. Thank you so much! Now i can flash like a devil again, haha
EDIT2: So i could use the phone with the oukitel rom but i want the original rom, firmware.
So here is the other Problem. I can't flash them. I either get insufficient buffer error or the imghdr error.
Could you link me what you are using? I really need the phone. Thanks for your help in advance.! :S
Hi sm00th4f3
I add some advices to Vivanyok instruction by red letters --->
I have managed to resolve this with a lot of help from Vivanyok on 4pda.

6. After this, you can simply flash any Ulefone ROM for Power 2. Win!
on this step i had a lot issue with insuffitient buffer under SP Flash tool, but yesterday i win too.
be careful :
after oem unlocking you should NOT reboot ulephone to Android,let phone stay connected to PC
try use #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject version 3.1620 - only this soft help me,earlier i tried v.3.1636 but always error appear.
and when i started flashing i stayed ulephone connected to usb (i dont disconnect phone after oem unlocking) and i simulated connection by long press volume UP + Power buttons. You can control connection by default PC sound.
due in SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject other interface i did not change flashing type, it was firware update by default.
After that my ulefone become alive.
7. Restore NVRAM and NVDATA.
good luck, if any questions ask me on 4pda.ru
So, i tried your nice guide, and it finally worked!! Side Note is: After fastboot oem unlock you have to scan with the #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject version 3.1620 your phone first, and then like you have already said, use the volume up+power button combo to simulate a connection. and then it will be flashed. Holy crap. Thank you so much!!.
You are welcome, last three day i also tried flash my up2
Still same problem

Hi there,
Thanks for the instructions. I have succeeded to install the Oukitel V2.0 ROM on my Ulefone Power 2 and change OEM in Android and fastboot but still no success to flash the final Ulefone Power 2 phone ROM from the Ulefone web site. The flash process starts but after two or three download steps the flash tool (3.1620 in administrator mode) stops still with the STATUS_SEC_IMGHDR_TYPE_MISMATCH error.
I have also tried with another ROM coming from another site, but still same error.
Could perhaps provide me a download link to a ROM that you successfully flashed to the Ulefone Power 2?
Thanks for your help

Hi sm00th4f3
I add some advices to Vivanyok instruction by red letters --->
I have managed to resolve this with a lot of help from Vivanyok on 4pda.
1. Make a backup of your NVRAM and NVDATA, a full ROM backup if you can.
2. Download Oukitel K6000 Plus ROM v2.0. Only this version will work.
3. Flash it. It will actually work just fine, no errors. I've used the latest SPFT.
4. Boot the phone into Android. In Developer Options, enable OEM Unlock.
5. Reboot into fastboot, do fastboot oem unlock.
OR enabled usb debug, accept connection between your PC and Ulephone and send command
fastboot reboot bootloader
after that
fastboot oem unlock
6. After this, you can simply flash any Ulefone ROM for Power 2. Win!
on this step i had a lot issue with insuffitient buffer under SP Flash tool, but yesterday i win too.
be careful :
after oem unlocking you should NOT reboot ulephone to Android,let phone stay connected to PC
try use #SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject version 3.1620 - only this soft help me,earlier i tried v.3.1636 but always error appear.

cannot find the up2 rom which can be flashed after flashing Oukitel K6000 Plus ROM. Please help...
Download Links added. There shouldn't be any problems using my method as long as you think as well.
Be aware that you have to use the Flashtool i linked, the exact same Flashtool Version as mentioned. Otherwise go to my german thread outside of xda to get more detailed pics.
solved my problem
this was the solution for me, thanks a lot....
recovered!
Hello guys! Thanks for the instructions, it worked great! Only thing, the fastboot you supplied has an password, so I used another I found online.
I finally got time to take care of my bricked Power 2 phone, and I got it back to life using the Oukitel method.
The phone works great, I only had to input IMEI numbers manualy.
Is there a need to lock back the bootloader, because now my device says "orange state", your device cannot be trusted?
hm hm.... fastboot allows me to lock the bootloader, but then the phone would reset itself to factory state for security reasons, so I will leave my bootloader unlocked, as I don't want to go trough the phone app installation and getting the settings to my taste
i just updated the zip..there shouldn't be a password anymore. ^^
For us, there isn't really a need to lock the bootloader. Since we can simply install every ota update by downloading the new rom from external sites. Just a reminder: don't use the ota update app since it will brick or just not work, since your bootloader is unlocked.

don't forget to enable oem unlock (bootloader isn't unlocked yet after you do this)
then fast boot the phone with oukitel rom, unlock the bootloader with adb fast boot unlock
don't let go of the vol button while flashing the phone with multiport flash tools
don't use ulepfhone original cable, mine was not working ok although there was no visual damage to the cable. I used another one that fit the usb port on the phone more firmly

Stuck in Mi Recovery 3.0 with a stock device

Hello,
This morning I turned off and on my phone (RN5 Global).
Now, If I try to start it, phone goes directly to Mi-Recovery 3.0 and, no matter how hard you try to restart, it always ends there.
More info:
- The phone is completely from stock. No root, no bootloader unlock, nothing.
- Mi-Recovery only let me Wipe All Data, so this would be an unfeasible option without first having recovered the data.
- My PC Suite does not recognize the phone.
- If I connect the mobile to the pc, 'adb devices' command says "sideload".
- If I try to make a backup by 'adb shell' it says "error: closed".
- I do not know if 'debug usb' is activated. I remember i activated it in the past, but I think that MIUI10 update deactivated it again.
- I can enter fastboot mode.
- I tried to open the phone, disconnect and connect the battery, but nothing has been fixed.
What can I do? My priorities now are:
1.- Recover the data (at least photos).
2.- Revive my phone.
Thank you.
Found this on MIUI, what do you think?

If your device is Redmi Note 5 from other country but India then it´s Whyred and this Forum is for Redmi 5 Plus/Redmi Note 5 (only India) that is Vince.
In the case I´m right and your device is Whyred (two rear cameras is a simple way to note it) then as far as I know you will need an EDL authorized account to flash a rom through MiFlash Tool.
Other tool that you can use is XiaomiFlash Tool by Francesco Tescari through Mi-Recovery but you will need too have enable USB debugging (maybe you have) but the same way you can flash a rom also you´ll lose all your data.
Adb shell works only in rooted devices, you can´t backup nothing in this state and fastboot mode is limited to just few commands like list device/reboot devices and nothing more in locked bootloaders.
In this scenario you have two things in order to solve this issue:
1- Highly probable loosing all your data.
- Doing format data through recovery and try to boot (data lost for sure)
- Flashing a rom through recovery with the mentioned tool (99% data lost probabilities)
- Flashing a rom through EDL; if you have Vince you can do it but if you have Whyred I don´t think so (if you choose second option "Flash without erase userdata" in MiFlash Tool I guess your data will be preserved)
2- If you enabled before USB debugging and binded your Mi account with device wait the time to unlock bootloader and maybe booting first of all in TWRP you can recover some data from your device, if you unlocked but first of all you boot on system for sure all your data will gone.
So what happened? Were you able to solve it? PLs share if you were...
I am also faced that situation.
When i tried to flash stock miui through fastboot it locked the bootloader and cant boot into rom then mi flash tool cant flash as boot loader is locked.
Worst part is in order flash another rom i need recovery, unable to reach developers option as rom not booting up.
Lost hope on the device
After all so many google searches and sleep less nights
I found application called mi pc suite china
Try to flash miui rom through mi pc suite mode
It says boot loader locked do you want to unlock
Finally it unlocked boot loader without booting into mobile.
In your case that will app will work. try it

how u solved your problem , i am stuck in same stage .. help please
I was stuck in Mi Recovery Mode 3.0 on my Mi Redmi Note 5.
Even after doing reboot to system, it wasn't going back to normal.
After scratching my head for a lot of time I decided to do the old school thing, i.e. REMOVING the SIM card and SD card and pressing the VOLUME DOWN + POWER KEY until the vibration occurred (NOTE: Mi logo will appear while you have pressed but keep the 2 buttons pressed until vibration occurred).

were any files deleted? and do you perhaps know if it would work on redmi note 7?
hello guys just look this video i solved it
Hi all,.
I also faced the same issue my redmi note 5 Pro which was on I believe MIUI 10 because it was never updated from the day it was purchased got stuck in bootloop and not getting ahead after recovery mode no matter how much time you reboot it was all working fine but some apps were updating such as youtube when this incident occurred I tried every solution like pressing keys pressing all three keys simultaneously or ADB method but none could work since the phone was locked also there was no USB debugging so adb method wouldn't work to also if an if ADB connected I couldn't flash because it will remove the data, in recovery mod you can see in option connect with MI Assistant but the Indian English version shown no connection so found one youtube video (channel name -" Ach Sharif ", video link-
which helped to install chinese version and and solved login issues I used Google translate translate to read the Chinese characters and understand what is going on I connected the device intending to take a backup backup but as no option was available I had to click on flash device so it downloaded upgraded recovery rom and automatically flash to MIUI 11 but still same problem then again I connected and upgraded to MIUI 12 and the phone was able to boot so the phone finally got fixed all data and all apps were intact and working as originally also all data of WhatsApp chats etc remained even the open apps at the time when problem happened were still present.
I believe guys this is the only solution to the problem because while flashing it replaces the recovery module of the rom which was corrupted earlier in my case when MIUi 12 installed not 11 I feel that it replaced recovery module due to update and it was able to work so please try once and I hope you get your files back, now lesson learned please do regular backups to live worry free life otherwise we will be spending time and energy here only.
I believe ADB methods or other methods won't work because they will flash and you won't be able to get data only flashing through recovery ROM not fastboot rom just like update package will be able to solve your problem if it is a software problem it will be can be fixed fixed this way only and saving data if it's a hardware problem such as power of all volume buttons are stucked you just get change and everything will be fine it happened in my other phone redmi Y2 so from speaking from experience thats all as I was going through trouble these things really help me so I thought to spend time in creating this guide please follow and I hope it will be solved.
You must open back cover( easily you can do it by hair dryer) and disconnect and connect again the battery, it will fix
