Redmi Note 5 pro stuck on mi logo screen ( possibly hard bricked ) FLASH XBL ERROR

[StickyFingers28]

Hello, when i woke up today i found my phone had switched off ( possibly battery drained overnight ), but the LED light on it was still blinking continuously. I tried to switch it on but it got stuck on the mi logo.

Current situation : I can only access fastboot mode, TWRP recovery altough installed won't open up and just freezes on the introduction screen ( not accessible ) , and as previously mentioned I'm stuck on the MI logo screen.

ROM used : I was on pixel experience android 11 custom rom

What I tried so far : a) I tried to flash the global stable miui rom using the miflash tool, but i get this error. ( FAILED (remote: 'Error flashing partition : Write Protected')

a point to note is that I have verified that my bootloader is unlocked. ( Also tried the same with a different version of the global stable miui rom , still the same error )


b) I also tried to flash the ROM using the XiaMiTool V2 but I get the same "flash xbl error".

I have tried everything I knew and yet my phone is as useless as a rock right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

have disabled dm verity with vbmeta.img for your phone?

you probably have a flashall script in the firmware archive, try commenting out xbl and repeat flash.

no I don't have any idea about this. Can you please tell me the steps on how to do it.

I did that, but then the next command in the flash_all.bat returns the error.

Have you reflashed twrp?
Or try this twrp replacement :

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Pro (whyred) build releases | OrangeFox Recovery Downloads

Orangefox recovery for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Pro (whyred)

orangefox.download

Extract the downloaded zip and the recovery.img should be flashed like twrp.img.

you made a typo, it's supposed to be "recovery" and not "recover"

ah i see, now that i corrected the typo, it gives the error that is the same as i got with the miflash tool. How do i fix this.

You made sure you have your phone bootloader unlocked?
execute
fastboot getvar unlocked

yes i verified again by using MI unlock tool which then confirms that my phone is already unlocked.

you download the official fastboot rom and under images folder find system.img and boot.img, move to c drive not under any folder, then
fastboot flash system C:\system.img
fastboot flash boot C:\boot.img
fastboot reboot
if these still give you write protected, you may have hardware fail

Fastboot - write protected

Today my cell phone got stuck on the android one logo. I was using the cell phone when it suddenly fired, so I forced a restart with the power button and from that moment on it never turned on again. I have the bootloader unlocked and I was...
