    The phone worked normally, it had a soft original miui7 from the PL menu but it was android 5. I downloaded some programs from the Chinese app store with boot loader and root. As it turned out, after turning off, it does not respond to power or fast boot or recovery, nor does it load. Miflash cannot see the phone, all he has managed to do is install the emergency caresuite controls. I tried something with adb and fast boot under the console but it does not respond. I downloaded what version of china without a locked bootloader because the phone is blocked. the battery is also almost at the bottom and I wonder if how podepne under mi4 can I recharge my eggs?

    Start by recharging the battery. You may have damaged the bootloader and now you can't do anything without hardware.

    It depends on the processor.
    It is worth having Infinity-Box Chinese Miracle-2 for xiaomi, Inferno and MRT Dongle are also available, but you need to check if they repair the bootloader if it is damaged.

    Care Suite drivers are from Nokia / Microsoft. You can replace them with the standard Qualcomm and then you will have QDLoader 9008 and it should be possible to upload the soft (most often described as fastboot flash on the Xiaomi forum) directly via MiFlash. In general, there is a lot of information on how to do it. Generally, it looks like a beaten bootloader, but it should be possible and fixed without hardware. If you have no patience or knowledge, however, I recommend a service.

    Yes, but there is no option to enter fastboot. I had a cable made on the redmi note 3, the so-called deep flash, but something does not work for usb-c or the usb adapter, there is no program options, only charging. I literally don't know where to start.
    I will add that when I connect the usb cable to the pc there is a so-called dindon after unplugging the battery there is also a signal. As I wrote, the first time it found drivers and signed emergency caresuite download or something like that.

    such a question, how should I charge the batteries outside the phone ?? how does the strange connector have ?? can be connected to xiaomi mi4?

    You do not have to enter the fastboot mode, you have to download the soft which is marked in this way, after unpacking inside there will be files that MiFlash will use to upload the software in EDL mode. You don't need a plug. If the phone is detected as Care Suite Emergency then you are already in EDL mode, but you have the wrong driver installed (probably you have Nokia drivers installed or you are using CM2QLM from Infinity which uses them). For example this driver, is a signed Qualcomma matching 64 bit Windows 10 that will fit MiFlash. Here you have to be shown except that you do not have to enter this mode because the phone from the machine in your case enters it.

    You don't have to recharge the battery either. The computer should be able to detect such a phone even without the battery connected. However, if you want to charge it outside the phone, you can do it with an external power supply by applying + to the battery plus and - to the battery minus - more specifically to the appropriate pins in the connector on the battery tape.

    Yes, with this rudder I installed the manuana and installed the qualcomm 9008 Xiaomi Mi4c Dead After Playing: Unresponsive to Power, Fast Boot, Recovery & Miflash, Low Battery Xiaomi Mi4c Dead After Playing: Unresponsive to Power, Fast Boot, Recovery & Miflash, Low Battery
    But there was a problem without the battery, that there is no specific path, after connecting the battery, info that the phone is blocked, I gave another soft started but it jumped out of a small buffer, then it stood on some critical error.
    It turns on, you can enter fastboot, but it does not go blocked, writes, you can enter recovery, but it shows like a phone with a cable in an iPhone. my .softy thread is not detected on this console
    libra_images_6.1.7_20151221.0000.11_5.1_cn_b09dac70a0- apparently unlocked bootloader
    libra_images_V8.1.2.0.LXKCNDI_20161120.0000.00_5.1_cn_89c8591fd1

    Now it is fully charging the batteries and I don't know what to do now !!

    Put it in EDL mode testpoint - you connect 2 points on the board and connect to the computer, with or without the battery - it should not matter.

    Run MiFlash as administrator. Unpack the soft to a directory with a simpler and shorter name because that is sometimes a problem too.

    Any, even older, which allows you to unlock the bootloader without asking Xiaomi about it. In EDL flash, such things just don't matter because the bootloader is skipped. Here you probably have an older soft up to 4c, which, after uploading in EDL mode, allows you to unlock the bootloader from the fastboot level itself, it should be ok.

    You didn't unlock the bootloader apparently. You had to upload the old soft, unlock the bootloader according to the information from the post above, upload TWRP and only Polish soft hence . 4c did not have an official Polish software from Xiaomi because it was never intended for our market. Now you have the bootloader locked again, so it remains to put the phone in EDL mode (e.g. using testpoint) and upload the old software again, unlock the bootloader, etc.

    bootloader downloaded with the command
    Connect the device to the computer and upload to the main memory of the system miuipolska
    Boot the device into fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down)
    In the command line, enter the command:

    fastboot oem unlock

    This command will unlock the bootloader

    I install twrp, but what is red pops up and the logo blinks and it turns off, of course, you can not enter recovery

    can upload the latest rom and try to unlock with the command ??

    Added after 3 [hours] 6 [minutes]:

    Maybe SuperSu should be rooted and then only uploaded to xiaomi Poland ??

    Added after 15 [hours] 49 [minutes]:

    Summarizing what I did that everything works:
    We shorten two tespoint points (you can see the photo in the post) until it appears in the device manager QDLoader 9008 in EDL mode, upload soft libra_images_6.1.7_20151221.0000.11_5.1_cn_b09dac70a0 - unlocked miflash bootloader, best version 2015 after uploading, turn the phone up and down after the logo lights up, do not hold power but volume until fastboot appears.
    you download platform-tools you download twrp 3.img you copy twrp to the directory from platform-tools with the shift key you move the contents of the folder without selecting any file you give the right mouse button and click open the command window here you enter in the console, i.e. the black frame command fastboot devices will show the serial number then fastboot oem unlock this command will unlock the bootloader. fire up the phone normally with usb debugging enabled upload to the phone xiaomipolska and the super su file. turn the phone back on in fastboot click fastboot devices do not close the console load twrp using the command fastboot flash recovery (twojanazwarecovery.img) then type fastboot reboot while holding the volume key and clicking enter up. will start twrp install super su give swipe enter the file from xiaomi poland install do not look at the error give swipe reboot and the phone came to life and has miui 9 and android 7. If the phone gets up with my logo and there is no charging, i.e. powered by android upload another twrp and another xiaomi poland

FAQ

TL;DR: 1 complete Mi4c revival documented; "This command will unlock the bootloader." Use EDL (9008) + MiFlash + testpoint, then TWRP and xiaomi.eu. [Elektroda, c-y-r-u-s, post #16912908]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps you unbrick a Xiaomi Mi4c that won’t power on, enter fastboot/recovery, or charge, using tools you can run at home.

Quick Facts

My Mi4c is dead—no power, fastboot, recovery, or charging. How do I start the fix?

Put the phone into EDL (Qualcomm 9008) and flash a fastboot ROM with MiFlash. If Windows shows “Emergency Care Suite,” replace those Nokia drivers with Qualcomm HS‑USB QDLoader 9008. You don’t need a deep‑flash cable when the phone already enumerates as 9008. Then use MiFlash to load a compatible “libra” fastboot package. "You do not have to enter the fastboot mode" initially—EDL covers it. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16908160]

What is EDL mode on the Mi4c?

EDL (Emergency Download) is Qualcomm’s low‑level flashing state. In Windows Device Manager it appears as “Qualcomm HS‑USB QDLoader 9008.” In this state, MiFlash can write partitions even if Android and the bootloader are unusable. Replace any mismatched drivers so the PC sees 9008 correctly. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16907631]

How do I enter EDL if buttons don’t work? What’s a testpoint?

Use the Mi4c testpoint: briefly short two pads on the mainboard while connecting USB. The device should enumerate as 9008, with or without the battery connected. Then proceed with MiFlash. Run MiFlash as admin and keep the ROM path short to prevent errors. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16910127]

Which Windows drivers should I install for MiFlash to see the phone?

Uninstall Nokia/Microsoft Care Suite drivers and install Qualcomm HS‑USB QDLoader 9008 drivers. Use signed packages for Windows 10 64‑bit to avoid signature issues and ensure MiFlash compatibility. After driver swap, Device Manager should show the 9008 port cleanly. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16908160]

Do I need the battery connected or charged for EDL flashing?

No. The computer can detect and flash the phone in EDL even without the battery. If you must charge externally, apply + to battery plus and – to battery minus on the flex connector pins. Handle polarity carefully to avoid damage. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16908160]

Which ROM should I flash if my bootloader is locked?

Flash an older fastboot ROM in EDL that allows unlocking afterward. In EDL, the bootloader lock state doesn’t block flashing. After booting that build, unlock from fastboot, then install recovery and your preferred ROM. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16910728]

MiFlash throws errors or won’t start flashing. What should I check?

Two common fixes: run MiFlash as Administrator and unpack the ROM to a simple, short directory (for example, C:\mi4c). Long paths cause failures. Ensure the phone is in 9008 mode and the correct Qualcomm driver is installed. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16910127]

How do I unlock the Mi4c bootloader after flashing the older build?

Boot to fastboot (Power + Vol‑). Connect USB, then run: fastboot devices, and fastboot oem unlock. You should see confirmation, after which you can flash TWRP. "This command will unlock the bootloader." [Elektroda, c-y-r-u-s, post #16912908]

TWRP shows red text, bootloops, or recovery won’t open—what went wrong?

The bootloader likely relocked due to the flashed build. Return to EDL via testpoint, flash the older unlock‑friendly ROM, unlock again from fastboot, then flash TWRP and your target ROM. Relock after flashing stock only if required. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16912666]

How do I add the Polish language (xiaomi.eu/MIUIPolska) on Mi4c?

After unlocking and installing TWRP, copy the xiaomi.eu ROM to the phone and install it from TWRP. Mi4c never had official Polish MIUI from Xiaomi; MIUIPolska/xiaomi.eu provides it. Follow the linked guide shared in the thread. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16912373]

Do I need a deep‑flash cable for the Mi4c?

No. If Windows already detects the device as Care Suite Emergency or 9008, you can switch to Qualcomm drivers and use MiFlash directly. A special cable is unnecessary for this case. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16908160]

Can I charge the Mi4c battery outside the phone, and how?

Yes. Use an external power source and carefully apply positive to the battery’s + pin and negative to the – pin on the battery flex. Monitor voltage and current; reverse polarity risks damage. EDL detection works even without the battery. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16908160]

Windows shows “Emergency CareSuite Download” and MiFlash can’t see the phone—fix?

Replace Care Suite/Nokia drivers with Qualcomm HS‑USB QDLoader 9008 drivers. After the swap, Device Manager should list the phone as QDLoader 9008, and MiFlash will detect it. Then flash the fastboot ROM. [Elektroda, blahfff, post #16907631]

Quick 3‑step How‑To: revive a bricked Mi4c

  1. Force EDL via testpoint; confirm QDLoader 9008 in Device Manager and install Qualcomm drivers.
  2. In MiFlash (Admin), flash libra_images_6.1.7 fastboot ROM from a short path.
  3. Reboot to fastboot, run fastboot oem unlock, flash TWRP, then install MIUIPolska; user ended on MIUI 9/Android 7. [Elektroda, c-y-r-u-s, post #16912908]
