System crashed and not rebooting on Redmi 5 Plus - tried almost everything - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

My system crashed when I was typing in Whatsapp and since then the phone is trying to reboot but is stuck eternally in the boot screen with the Mi and Android logo. I only had 100 MB free space, so maybe the system cannot boot because of that?
- The newest version of Mi PC Suite cannot connect and an older MiPhoneAssistant version is only able to flash the ROM.
- I tried to clear caches with fastboot but it says "device is locked. Cannot erase". Also flashing TWRP is not possible.
- When trying to start adb shell in bootloader mode it only says "error: closed".
- It is possible to start adb shell when the phone is stuck in the boot screen, but without root permission I cannot access the data folder
So I really tried a lot, but as this whole topic is new to me, maybe someone has another idea? I once already successfully recovered encrypted files from an old Windows partition and I didn't imagine that this would be so difficult on a phone. I only need my notes from the MIUI Notes app, (almost) all the other stuff was backuped.

Is your phone bootloader is locked?

Yes, otherwise I would have flashed another one

So finally I had to use the testpoint method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE4JhUbZ_LQ) to flash a new ROM, but all data ist lost .

Unbricking RN4 (SD)

Hello guys,
i wanted to upgrade my Ressurection Remix ROM and managed to softbrick my phone. While flashing the software (Flashing system partition unconditionally) TWRP got stuck.
My phone got an unlocked bootloader and i already tried to flash the global MIUI ROM via EDL and also fastboot. The flashing process is successfull but after i restart my phone i'm stuck at the MI Logo with the moving Android Circles for loading.
I let this run for ~6 hours, no progress at all.
I also tried flashing the Global DEV Rom, same as above.
Factory Reset via Recovery Mode (with MI Suite) also didn't do the trick.
I think something with the bootloader went wrong. Any ideas to unbrick it?
I can access Fastboot and EDL Mode, unlocked Bootloader. I also got a TWRP backup with System and Data Partition, but currently only the original Revocery is installed.
Any help is very much appreciated, thank you.
Did you tried using this guide to flash stock firmware/recovery?
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Yes, the problem is not to flash the Fastboot ROM, but after successfully flashing the ROM i got stuck at the MI Logo with the loading Android dots
That's weird.. this bootloop usually happens when you flash stock MIUI and still have TWRP installed, can you check if you have stock recovery after fastboot flash?
After i flashed the global DEV ROM i got the stock recovery where i can choose between Wiping Data, switch to MI Suite etc.
Edit: Its not really an bootloop, it just gets stuck there without doing anything
Update: Got TWRP back, now if i want to flash any ROM (doesn't matter if stock/custom) i'm stuck at TWRP saying: "Patching system unconditionally..." it stays there for hours.
Any advice in this case?
guys,, i was facing same problem. I also agree that 8012... status does not matter to unlocking bootloader. I was tried all but fail after granted permission. I was tried daily. after 5 days when I tried with old mi unlock tool I got error at 50%. After that restarted my phone and clicked on settings and in developer menu, I watched i clicked on allow unlock bootloader but I forgot to click on usg debbuging. after clicked it I went for fastboot with old unlock tool and I got success. thankyou.
Try my method you will get success. hit like. stay tune. tandob is here to help you guys.

If you can boot into bootloader, you can fastboot flash the images from https://developers.google.com/android/images (or just try running the entire N9F27N script) from your fastboot folder in cmd prompt or the Mac equivalent if you use Apple.

usb-debug is not enabled.
the thing is , when i rooted i got locked out then i factory reseted it , but it still is in bootloop,
i am unable to connect with device this is what i see when run the script ,
the cmd prompet say "<waiting for device >"
does it ever happened to anyone , getting locked without getting developer mode > usb-debug enabled , and then flashing factory rom ?
Can you still access TWRP, if it was already on the device.
Flash any custom rom, enable the option and flash stock again (if you want).
If it is stock recovery, sideload an OTA image instead.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Manually boot recovery and you shouldn't need usb-debug enabled, I hope.
A bit of research and it is required unfortunately
Edit: You don't need usb-debugging for fastboot flashing.
Also Nexus Root Toolkit might prove helpful to setup drivers on your pc and restore your device to working order.
^^^ It is out of date software, so hesitant to recommend it.

Boot to bootloader and use fastboot commands. Fastboot flash system system.img
Etc.
Use the files extracted from factory image.

I've definitely had this experience. You can try disconnecting the cable then reconnecting. When that doesn't work, you have to remove all the drivers or at least run through "updating" the Android drivers in hardware settings. You won't actually be updating drivers just re-installing from the PC. Wug's toolkit mentioned above may be your best choice if you don't have TWRP. The toolkit will provide you with an exe called usbdeview which enables driver removal. I didn't mention an OTA sideload because I thought you did need ADB for that. If you can get PC to recognize the device in cmd, then you can fastboot flash images.

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

Mi app recovery will not work on older phones like vince i suggest flashing through test point by removing the back cover and reconnect both points

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

Redmi 5 plus froze and stuck at boot for no reason

Out of nowhere my Redmi 5 Plus froze when I was using an application I have used thousands of times before. I have tried restarting it, but it is stuck at the mi.com boot logo and stays there without doing anything. Can not enter recovery or EDL mode, only fastboot is available. Fastboot commands work from a PC but can not do anything since the device is locked. From what I understand this is a known issue for this model although I do not understand what causes it. So my question is, what can I do about this, or how can I clear the cache partition, or unlock the device, without destroying my data on it, or losing features like upgrades?

Critical Partition Flashing is not allowed on Xiaomi Redmi 5

So I tried installing custom rom lineage os 19.1 . Everything was going flawlessly like from unlocking to installing GApps . Then when I tried to reboot system i was stuck at at lineage logo booting . I stays stuck for like 5 minutes then again reboots. I tried the whole process again and again and again (wiping the cache,system etc. to installing GApps) and all the 3 times it installs without any error but at the time i try to reboot system its the same old story. It gets stuck for 5mins and then again reboot and again gets stuck for 5min and again the same thing. So I thought about flashing through mi flash tool and idiot me pulled of the usb cable at the middle of flashing thinking it ended (Wasnt showing success in result) so it booted but right after setting up pops out, the phone again reboots . So I again went on trying to flash the device through mi flash tool and now it shows "Error writing in partition ; Critical Partition Flashing is not allowed" . Then I tried to unlock via cmd as i cant access to mi unlock (I had to login via QR code when i was unlocking and i had to the same so i couldnt), so as i try to unlock via cmd it says "token verify failed" . I cant even go to EDL mode . I dont mind on losing data I just want to keep it alive somehow. Any helps would be appreciated TIA !
I also tried different flash tool (older ones) but it didnt work
