I was using my phone (Xiaomi Mi Max Dual SIM with 4GB RAM + 128GB ROM) and i got that screen. None of the buttons seams to dismiss the screen. Reboot always go to the same screen (boot loop). Can't use the phone (no calls, alarms, etc).

Below is the screen, when is connected to PC (the cable changes position in the image).

ps specs are:


Dell OptiPlex 7020 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30GHz 
Dell Motherboard 0F5C5X with Intel PCH Q87 
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)


Have issues with "SM Bus Controller driver" that are now solved. I read in the foruns that Max is not yet supported by pc suite. pcsuite can't connect detect phone, but adb driver installed with success.

Mi Suite and Mi Unlock don't identify the device. Mi Flash detects the device if i boot with volume-down + power (and got a back screen). The flash failed on the initial tries, because the device don't reply to the hello package.

If i boot with power pressed for 8 sec (or more), i got into the phone + pcsuite lock screen and Mi Suite, Flash and Unlock don't detect it.

I try power up with volume up, volume down, volume up+down and no recovery screen (no rabbit or fast boot leters). Still can't use my Mi Max: no calls, no access to apps, nothing :(

The pc suit logs are at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-J9Wa8DpsEzU0RTV3VMR0ZuRGs

Does the Mi Flash util work without the unlock boot? I already got the sms unlock code, can login into my Mi account inside Mi unlock fine.

New steps

Reboot the phone using power + volume up + volume down (EDL mode - back screen)
Connect to PC, install the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver, Mi Flash detect the device and i could flash the helium_global_images_V8.2.1.0.MBDMIDL (full flash, delete all).

I use a normal cable (no deep flash cable). I did the flash but did not open the case, remove the battery or short the testing points.

Below is the mi max test points photo (from tutorial on web).

When i reboot the phone (power button for 8 secounds) still get into the same "pcsuite.mi.com" and phone image screen. Mi Pc suite and Mi unlock don't identify my phone in 9008 / EDL mode.

Last steps

Phone is working, Can't still unlock. "time is too short" screen below:

Try booting with both volume up and down pressed, and only then connect to the pc, if the PC recognizes it as Qualcomm 9008 (COMsomenumber) you are set, open MiFlash and flash the latest ROM
Hope this helps :)
