How to Enter EDL (Emergency Download) Mode Xiaomi Devices

EDL (Emergency Download Mode) is the mode required to flashing Stock ROM of Android Xiaomi devices that are usually applied to Xiaomi devices that use Qualcomm Processor.

To enter EDL Mode on Xiaomi device, there are some requirements that you need to do first, remembering because there are several ways you can do to get into that mode.

1. Battery Xiaomi 50% device (so as not to switch off during the process).
2. Enable USB Debugging Mode and OEM Unlocking on Xiaomi device. (to be detected by computer)
3. Download and install Mi PC Suite and Xiaomi Android USB Driver on your computer (to connect to computer)
4. Install ADB & Fastboot on the computer. (for Xiaomi Device to be controlled via computer)
5. Provide USB Cable. (as a media liaison between Xiaomi devices and computers)

After you have completed all the necessary requirements above, then now you can do the ways that will be discussed below:

Using Buttons On Xiaomi Devices (Hardware)

• This method directly uses the existing button on the Xiaomi device as an attempt to enter EDL Mode.
• Now Turn off your Xiaomi device.
• After that, plug the USB Cable into the computer but not to your Xiaomi device.
• Now press and hold the "Power" and "Volume Up" buttons simultaneously, then quickly connect to the USB Cable that you have connected to the computer.

• If everything works smoothly, then you will find the Xiaomi device's LED light will be on, it indicates that your Xiaomi device is in EDL Mode. You should also know that when the LED Light is on, the device screen is not on.
• But if you do not find success by doing the above, then you can do it by following the way below.

Using the ADB Tool

Previously, make sure you have installed ADB & Fastboot Tool and installed Mi PC Suite or USB Driver Xiaomi. If you have already done so, then you can follow the following steps:

• If you have installed USB Driver Xiaomi, but your Xiaomi device still can not connect to your computer then you need to do "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" on Windows operating system you use.
• Make sure now you can connect your Xiaomi device with your computer using USB Cable.
• Now, in the ADB folder (C: \ adb) press and hold down the "Shift" key and right click, and select "Open Command Window Here", then the Command Prompt window will pop up, or by entering the "cmd" command to Link Bar "Window Explore".

• Make sure you successfully open Command Prompt in ADB & Fastboot Folder, after that type command: adb devices

(The above command is useful to know whether your device is connected to the computer or not)

• If you find the Serial Number as in the picture above, then you can proceed to the next step, but if you get the message "Waiting Device" then there is a problem you should solve first, that is Driver problem or "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" on your computer .
• Make sure there really Serial Number is displayed after you type the command "adb devices", if it works then now type the command: adb reboot edl
• Now you will find your Xiaomi device in EDL Mode marked by a lighted LED with the Dead Screen.
• But if you do not find success by doing the above, then you can do it by following the way below.

Using the Fastboot Tool

Previously, make sure you have installed ADB & Fastboot Tool and installed Mi PC Suite or USB Driver Xiaomi. If you have already done so, then you can follow the following steps:

If you have installed USB Driver Xiaomi, but your Xiaomi device still can not connect to your computer then you need to do "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" on Windows operating system you use.

How to Enter EDL Mode using Fastboot has 2 Methods:

1. The First Way

• Make sure your Xiaomi device is Off, then press and hold down the "Volume Down" and "Power" buttons simultaneously to Enter the Fastboot Mode of Xiaomi Device.

2. The Second Way

This second way is almost the same as the first way above because both use Fastboot, but this way has its own Trick.

• Make sure your Xiaomi device is Off, then press and hold down the "Volume Down" and "Power" buttons simultaneously to Enter the Fastboot Mode of Xiaomi Device.

• Make sure now you can connect your Xiaomi device with your computer using USB Cable.

• Now you will find your Xiaomi device in EDL Mode marked by a lighted LED with the Dead Screen.
• But if you do not find success by doing the above, then you can do it by following the way below.

Using Fastboot EDL (Special Tool)

This last way is usually used to go into EDL Mode Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, I do not know if this works for other Xiaomi devices, but you have the right to try if you want to know the result, because this way will not negatively impact Xiaomi device you.

Previously make sure you have installed ADB & Fastboot Tool and installed Mi PC Suite or USB Driver Xiaomi. If after installing USB Driver Xiaomi but your Xiaomi device still can not connect with your computer then you need to do "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" on Windows operating system you use.

• Make sure your Xiaomi device is Off, then press and hold down the "Volume Down" and "Power" buttons simultaneously to Enter the Fastboot Mode of Xiaomi Device.

• Make sure now you can connect your Xiaomi device with your computer using USB Cable.
• Now Download and extract "fastboot_edl.7z" on your computer. and in the "fastboot_edl" folder now press and hold "Shift" then right click and select "Open Command Window Here", then Command Prompt window will appear, or by entering "cmd" command to Link Bar in "Window Explore" .

• Make sure you successfully open Command Prompt in ADB & Fastboot Folder, then type the command: fastboot devices

(The above command is useful to know whether your device is connected to the computer or not)

• Make sure there really Serial Number is displayed after you type "fastboot devices" command, if it succeed then now double click on file "edl.bat" in folder "fastboot_edl". But if this automated way does not work, then you can type the command manually in Command Prompt which is still open with the command: fastboot_edl.exe reboot-edl
• Now you will find your Xiaomi device in EDL Mode marked by a lighted LED with the Dead Screen.

If this last way does not work for your Xiaomi device, then I have no other way to give it to you. But hopefully in one of the ways to Enter EDI Mode Xiaomi above can work on your device.
