if you want to flash on locked bootloader then you need to be in edl mode not in fastboot mode.to be in edl mode turn off your phone.plug the usb cable to the computer.now get ready to to plug it into the phone but before that be ready to press both volume buttons.this is important step ok.keep your fingers on both volume up and down buttons.now as soon as you plug the usb cable into the phone press both volume buttons.then it will vibrate bt screen will be black.now open mi flash and see there it should show com 10 or com 20 or watever com something like that.then you are ready to flash the rom.after that i hope you know the steps after this.

On Windows you usually have to install drivers because windows usually don't recognize device as something connected through com port. This could be done through device manager, install drivers for unknown device, browse for location and they are in drivers directory in miflash directory.

my computer for some reason just detected the phone the first time i connected to it a few days later.

im having bigger issues now as the flashing took forever after about 12 hours it was still flashing so i unplugged it.

now my phone is bricked i think.
when trying to turn on the phone it is stuck at the mi mi.com logo
it stays there for a few minutes and then vibrates and goes black and starts again.
i can get into fastboot (volume down and power) but cant get into anything else.

You will need to flash a ROM using fastboot.

First install fastboot on your pc: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-t...with-drivers-on-windows-quickest-setup-75174/

Second Download a flashable Rom: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (make sure to choose the right one)

Unzip the rom and navigate to the 'images' folder

Put the phone into Fastboot mode (volume down and power button together until fastboot appears)

Connect the phone to pc with USB

Shift Right click on a blank space in the folder and choose 'open command window here'

run the following commands. one at a time

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot

Hello,
My Redmi Note 4 got Bootlooped,No Recovery No Rom and no way for Charging while pressing and hold the power button,there appeared one second blink of MI Logo.i tried all the ways to flash thro' fast boot mode.but remote partition flashing is no allowed.while tried to flash in edl mode,mi flash didn't detect the Driver.On Seeing device manager the it shows Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E and not as Qualcomm HS-USB qdloader 9008.while upading driver it shows the best driver already installed.In my opnion due to Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E ,mi flash didn't detect the driver.how can i switched up to Qualcomm HS-USB qdloader 9008.

Hi,

i have the exact same problem. Device doesnt show in Mi Flash. Its the latest version, I installed the drivers and I can see the device in the device manager under Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4). Anybody know a solution?

you can use deep flash cable to solve the problem. also you can make the cable yourself. google it and see how to make and use.
Deepflash cabe not needed, i used tespoint to forse in qualcomm hsxxx mode, device is present in device manager but flasher can't see him. I solved phone on the same way on another computer. First is win7-64, second is win10-64, same program, drivers, flash file... I don't know why... but problem is solved...
