What do you mean by "hard brick", can't you boot into fastboot?
try using power + volume down
Guys, don't flash roms from other devices, the mi 5x has a single partition mode not a/b like we have, you might have overwritten the bootloader...
if you get nothing on screen try hooking it up to the PC and see under device manager if you get qualcomm 9008 mode

If not your device is prob done.. learn your lesson and only flash stock or other software tested by people here, never flash something for another device even if the hardware is similar
@sooti nothing is shown in ports.... but i m not using an edl cable to connect i guess i need edl cable for 9008
even my phone shows led light and vibration when connected!
so i m going to service center tomorrow

dont let them know that you tried to flash MI 5X rom
just tell them that your phone died all of a sudden
if you tell them the truth you wont be getting anything but disappointment
thats what i m planning to do
and pls tell me whats edl mode
my pc is not detecting the phone but its vibrating as if trying to boot when i connect it to pc
dont even tell them that you're trying to connect to PC or anything about EDL mode
got it ... i m gonna tell them it died all of a sudden.......
my friend says that he also hard bricked and he went to center and they flashed a new rom... thats all i m relieved... so i m just going to the service center now.... wish me luck .......i hope i will close the thread today @Rawwr @sooti

I think Mi A1 not that difficult to get hard brick. Can you still get into fastboot? That day I try to re-lock bootloader with root lol. Also got bricked, appear as Qcom_USB_hulk something like that, but luckily still manage to get into fastboot.
that's great bro, but do not be afraid to root it again
because you learn from your mistakes
i once hardbricked my Mi3 and i brought it back to life by using sim connector's method
flashing custom roms since 2012 and trust me it is fun
you just need to follow the steps carefully
I will wait till the kernel resources and stable twrp are releasedthat's great bro, but do not be afraid to root it again
