How to Unbrick any Xiaomi: Fix Bootloop and SoftBrick Issues

In this video, we will show you the steps to unbrick your Xiaomi/Mi/Redmi/Poco video wherein it is either stuck in a continuous bootloop, in a soft brick state, or in the Fastboot Mode.

Do note that this video is "not" for fixing hard-bricked Xiaomi devices [thanks to the OEM, this now requires an authorized account so a general user can no longer carry out flashing in EDL Mode].

While it's already shown in the video, but just to reiterate, here's how to boot a bricked or boot-looped device to Fastboot Mode:

-Plug in one end of the USB cable to your PC but leave the other end empty.
-Then power off your device: If it is stuck in the Fastboot screen, then long press the Power key [around 15-20 seconds].
On the other hand, if it is in a bootloop state, then wait for it to auto-power off].
-Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down and while holding both these keys, plug in your device to the other end of the USB cable.
-Your device should now boot to Fastboot Mode and you could then carry out the rest of the process as explained in the video and the linked guide.

Moreover, while flashing the firmware via Mi Flash, always use the clean_all and never use the clean_all_and_lock option.

Hey, I can't thank you enough for your simple guide. I accidentally soft bricked my Redmi note 10 pro while trying to install the PixelOS ROM, it's been years since I actually tried a custom ROM, shouldn't have bothered. Thanks to your guide, I'm finally able to flash back safely to my stock ROM. Bravo!

[franklin]

please help, mine cannot be flashed because it says it is in a locked state. Is there a way to unlock it with my laptop? I cannot do it through the phone because my redmi mi 9 is stuck in a bootloop.

You forgot to mention that we need the bootloader to be unlocked !!!
