Hello, yesterday I got my new Redmi Note 3. After hour or so using it, installing apps, adjusting settings and such I locked it and a minute later it didn't turn on (last time I checked the battery was around 30%). I've tried a lot of things: connecting it to my PC, holding every combination of buttons (just power button, just volume down, just volume up, power+volume down, power+volume up, I haven't tried only the volume up+volume down combination). I've also left it charging over the night using my Galaxy s3 mini charger (I live in Europe so I can't charge it here with provided charger) and still nothing, literally no reaction. Then HonorBuy's suport sent me an email that says I have to remove the sticker from the battery, it wasn't until they realised that the battery is non-removable that I have to close the back cover. Then they told me that I try charging it on the computer for at least an hour. Will that help considering that I've already charged it normally the whole night? Or do you guys maybe have some other idea what might be the problem?
I forgot, that hour or so when the phone actually worked, worked perfectly.
Thank you.
did you manage to get your phone fixed? im having the same problem. phone just died randomly.

I have the same problem.
Original Note 3, original rom. It just died and I can't get it to work. no reaction from phone.
Any ideas?
Same problem here . any idea?
Can you get into fastboot?
Power button + vol down..
Edit: Sorry, just saw that you have tried that already..
When I had a bad flash a couple a weeks ago my RN3 was totally dead like yours..
I followed this guide wich worked for me: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=221115
Attention! All your data will be lost..
I'm aware that your phones was properly working, but maybe this is a solution?
Charge from PC USB.
Charge from PC USB.
A Quick Fix
I also got the same problem today...but i mamaged to fix it...Firstly hold vol down and power button...the device will boot into fastboot mode ...secondly after entering into fast boot mode...hold volume up + power for 10 seconds....now your phone will reboot ormally...Thats it...No big deal...
I had the same problem right after I connected the phone with an aux- it died and started heating up. I tried all the above suggestions except the reboot because I didn't want any data lost. All I did was put it in rice for 10 minutes, even though I knew rice is meant for phones when they've got wet. After 10 mins, I pressed the power button and it worked!
Hope it works for you,too.
The same problem is happening with me after I tried to restore a TWRP backup.
I can't really enter fastboot as phone is not charging.
I'm having the same issue with my Redmi Note 3 phone. Just opened it from the box, charged a bit and turned it on. Everything worked except when I turned it off again to charge it faster and later tried to turned it on.
The phone is now completely dead, no charging screen, and it's slowly heating up. Is this a manufacturing error or can I do something to fix it?

This happened to me too. I think I factory wiped in twrp and went from cm13 to miui then it stopped charging.
No amount of flashing fixed it. Fast boot, EDL nothing worked and xiaomi won't help.
I came across only few people that had this but they seemed to suggest some partition being corrupted going from CM to miui. I couldn't find details about which partition though, not very substantial claims.
I read somewhere that it could be a bug of the version of a specific TWRP, but without sure.
In my case, I flashed Xiaomi.eu with success on CM, and after that restored again CM.
CM -> Xiaomi.eu -> CM
I sent it to a (unofficial) repair center and they just flashed the ROM on my phone. Probably using pin test or something similar.

I tried all of that. I had about 80% battery when I noticed it's not charging so I had plenty of battery to flash things. I tried anything and everything that was suggested to me in the xiaomi forums but nothing worked.
Did you send it to an official xiaomi service center?
No. I just sent it to a local generic phone service center. I imported mine from China without warranty.

I'm from Portugal and it is also rare her but they solve it in a few days with just a small price. Try to find a specialized smartphone repair center near you as it looks like a small issue.

I had a similar issue 2 times with months in between , no response from power+vol up , no lights when charging , no response from pressing on the red button behind the flaps, last time it happened after a reboot from an update and still having plenty of battery left.
I tried putting it on the charger for a whole day with no result , put it back in the box to return it , decided to let it rest a few days first , since someone had the same issue and it magically came back to life when he got back from a vacation.
So i try to turn it on 2 days later and it worked again magically indeed, functions totally restored till this day.
Hope this helps a bit

If it's like the Z1 Tablet you could try a complete power down by pressing the volume up/down, and power button for several seconds, then try to do a recovery via the Sony PC companion (so long as you can get into flash mode), if it works you'll loose all data, but it's worth it IMO

I've got something like this going on too. Plugging it into a blackberry playbook charger seemed to give it a charge when the OEM charger wouldn't work. It came back to life. I've also noticed that the tablet won't sleep properly while charging. I plug it in, hit the power button to sleep, and it wakes it self as though I plugged a charger in. And so I cycles dimming the screen to sleep and then seconds later like u tap the power button to get the screen to wake. Something s definitely wrong.

I'd the same on my SGP511 yesterday when rooting failed. Just charge for an hour using Sony charger, then press POWER + VOLUME for more than 60 seconds. It vibrates three times and resume from death. Cheers!
It seems like some of these boards may be failing. I think this issue is related to the screen not powering off while charging issue. Users are reporting that Sony is repairing the devices by replacing their main boards. I wonder if there is a known issue with z2 tabs that Sony is aware of.
My z2 tab has both of these problems. I flashed a factory ftf to it and it still had the problem. This is what led me to believe that it was hardware related as it didn't used to do it running cm11 or stock firmware.
I had this happen to me once or twice, though in my case I could recover via power + up/down (can't remember lol) .
In the end my tablet developed other symptoms (namely inability to magnetic charge, and screen stays always on when charged) so i sent it off for repair and they replaced the motherboard.
Hasn't happened since, though I only have had it back for a few weeks. Touch wood.

Does replacing the motherboard mean fully stock and locked boot loader with present DRM keys?

Yep as in these tablets the flash/CPU/RAM etc. is baked into the mobo so its more or less getting a new tablet internally.
to my shame I updated it without remembering you can only root the older firmware which it did come with ROFL.... oh well the only thing I use root for is adblock

Can't you just use flashtools to downgrade your tablet back to the rootable 4.4.2 firmware?
I managed to downgrade my xperia z2 4g tablet with flashtools application.
Only hiccup was that i accidentally put my tablet in bootloop while i tried to downgrade it, after that i just rooted and installed dual recovery. With that dual recovery i could flash pre rooted 4.4.4 and so i still have my drm keys and ps4 remote play app.
Hello,
This morning my phone went suddenly off, didn't think much of it because it had 20% battery left and thought I had to recharge it but it didn't charge and I couldn't power it on, no LED lights when connected to the charger, no nothing, I tried restarting it in download mode but still nothing, it had a custom rom flashed, this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-ressurrection-remix-m-t3270121
Had cyanogenmod before this but encountered some errors and got this one 1 week ago, it worked fine except random restarts.
Tried a different S3 battery from a friend and still nothing, my battery worked in his, it was 0% but charging although very slow, just 8% in half an hour.
Tried different ways to fix it following these steps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
Before actually going to a service shop and replacing my motherboard I want to know if there is a cheaper way to get it fixed, tried the steps above but with a 2gb card instead of a 16 one, want to try the USB JIG method but I don't know if it will work.
Any information would be appreciated
If the phone doesn't power on at all, a USB jig probably won't help.
I suggest connecting the phone to the original charger or a more powerful charger with the original USB cable for a few hours and see if it will come to life.

Tried the USB jig, but it didn't work, I don't know if the jig was done right because i didn't find pin 4 and 5, only two wires sticking out of it but I found a workaround and still nothing, left it 3 hours with the original charger but still nothing.
I'm really lost here, can a phone just brick/die by itself? it showed some signs before, last 2 weeks with random restarts and some random app's being deleted but besides that it worked fine. The custom rom was Resurrection Remix 6.0.1 so I don't think its galaxy's infamous SDS and the last time it was working it had ~20% battery left and probably restarted itself and never managed to boot. Found some cheap S3's with damaged display but ok motherboards, thinking of buying one and using those or going to a service, maybe they can Jtag it.
A jtag service may be your best bet, depending on the cost because a used replacement such as an s4 maybe a better use of funds.
It seems like it IS a case of SDS. Nand corruption is commonplace and easily done at any time.
Remove the battery and plug the charger in. If no response then the phone is as dead as.
Take it as a sign to upgrade.

Same happened with me some days back.
I had 66% battery left.
I saw the phones notification light blinking. By mistake I clicked the power button for longer than required and the phone vobrated but the light was still blinking.
I then tried turning it on by clicking the power button but nothing happened.
So I thought it might have gone into some kind of worse lag so removed the battery and again plugged it. Tried turning it on, nothing happened. I thought maybe it needs charging so plugged it but nothing happened. The computer does not recognise it either.
It doesn't get turned on and don't charge too.
I was on aosp 5.1.1 and everything was alright until then.

Thanks for your help. My s3 is really wild. Yesterday i connected it to my pc and kept it connected,after like an hour it turned on by itself. But i found out that many of the things were not working like music could not be played, video's could not be played and became slower than usual. After some time the launcher started refreshing itself(donno why) and finally i removed the battery again. After that it had not booted up till now.
Anothet thing i noticed was that the power button was not working, i had to turn on the screen by pressing the home button.
Anyways thnks for the help [emoji4] .

I bought a brand new Xiomi Redmi Note 4 3gb snapdragon variant few days ago. Everything was working perfectly alright all of a sudden, after 1-2 days of usage the phone instantly start turning on and off. The phone just shows the Mi Logo and then turns off and it's in this constant bootloop. I wasn't able to hard reset it as pressing volume up and power button at the same time but the issue is that the language screen appear momentarily and phone just turns off again. I even tried pressing volume down and power button and the fast boot screen appears for like a fraction of second and then just goes away.
It's such a headache that I can't understand how can I get it working again.
I even sent the device to the online store that I bought it from. I packed it in the original packing and sent them. There was no way to turn the Phone off so the battery just drained and it turned off. But when the seller checked it they said that the phone is working fine. They sent it back to me, it just worked for 1 more day and it's still again in the bootloop.
I have read that when you are in bootloop then you just let the battery drain and when you charge it again. It'll start working again. If it's correct, still it's not a solution.
PS: I have not tried to root nor installed any custom rom. I just wanted to know if it's a hardware issue or I need to mess with it's firmware.

Your device is all stock and pure xiaomi. So this seems to be a battery issue. You can go to a xiaomi service center, but if that isn't possible you can even send an email to xiaomi customer care. Just provide the bill of the device, and make sure to provide all the details.

Thanks allot buddy. I'll for sure visit Xiaomi store. Thanks allot for your kind info. I am grateful.
Dear all,
I hope there is someone here, who can help me with my issue. I lost my hope after trying almost everything found in the internet.
So here is the problem: I was using my phone as a navigation in my car. The battery was low, so I used the car charger and kept it plugged, while driving. I observed, that even though I was charging my phone via car charger, the battery continued to get low and finally the phone turned off. After reaching home, I plugged my phone with an original quick charger from Xiaomi. Unfortunately I was not able to charge my phone and it got stuck in a bootloop, with a phone showing Mi Logo, vibrating and switching off repeatedly.
When I connect the phone with the laptop, it is shortly recognized (when it is booting) and then disconnected and again and again. I can go to fastboot mode but I cannot flash my phone using MiFlash, because I get an error: Failed. Low battery.
Does anyone know the solution? I would really appreciate any help.

Are you on miui or a custom rom?
I think I know what problem you are facing, your device's battery is actually drained of all the power, like it empty. So drained that it doesn't even have the energy to turn on the phone to get power. I had a lenovo a560 last year, and it had the same problem, so what i had to do was either leave it for charging and pray that it begins charging (and sometimes after 3 or 4 hours the battery started charging as normal when it got 1% battery), or the second method was that i took the removable battery out and charged it externally using wires. The second method worked since the battery got enough power, to keep the phone on during charging.
Now the problem is that redmi note 4 doesn't have a removable battery, so either you can leave the phone for charging, and actually forget about it for a day, or the only other thing is that you have to visit a service center.
Not joking about the charging process but that is the only thing you can do.

But wait, if the phone is able to stay in fastboot mode, why not charge it there? Like just open fastboot mode, and connect the charger. It will atleast charge some percent.

Hi, i thought about it before, but the phone was staying in fastboot mode for a very short time, to short to charge any resonable amount of power, and kept rebooting quickly. I left the phone for two days without trying to fix it and I tried just now to go into fastboot and try to charge. It stays now for quite a time in fastboot so I will keep my fingers crossed that I will be able to charge. I will update here if it was a success or not. Meanwhile, thank you for all your ideas! Lets see what happens...

Unfortunately, no good results. I kept my phone in fastboot mode multiple times, but I was not able to charge my phone. Turning off fastboot is only causing phone to stuck in bootloop.
I also had an impression, that the phone was not warm at the back, where the battery is. Now I am starting to think that the battery is completely dead and I have to change it. But how is it even possible, that after 8 MONTHS the battery is completely f***ed up?
Can I somehow check the state of the battery? I would like to be sure, that there is no way to bring the battery back to life and I really have to go somewhere to change it. I am really reluctant to have a battery from some unknown company. :crying:

Are you rooted?
This is really a kernel fault man, I had the same issues with mediatek Chipsets before, but you are saying in "8 months", so that means you are well covered in warranty. You can send an e-mail to Xiaomi customer care or visit a service centre with the phone bill. I am pretty sure a faulty battery or such happening can be covered using warranty, plus I would suggest NOT to get the battery changed from a 3rd party store.

Sorry, I actually don't know much about the phones, so I don't know what 'rooted' means. I never did anything with my phone, software or whatever more than required.
With the warranty there is a different problem in my case: I bought my phone in China when I was there for my business trip and I live in Europe (yeah I know, my own fault, I should have bought it at home). I have bill and everything but I guess it will not help. Besides, Xiaomi gives 6 months warranty for battery (in case this is really the battery).

Knowing that you are not rooted is a positive thing when regarding the warranty, ok so here is the thing which you should do. But first of all please stop the battery charging process, since this can now be harmful and can damage the components. Ok so here's what you should do -
[email protected]
Send an email to that address regarding the battery problem. And provide the details including about the drainage of battery, and the methods which you tried. Plus attach the bill also. It doesn't really matter where you bought it, because the bill serves as to give them information that the device you own is actually bought by you, and it contains details about device like IMEI etc. If they respond and say that you can send your device to them, (in this case they will give you an address) you should do that. If they say they cannot help it, then consider getting a repair from a local shop.
I just checked my phone's inside and found out that you cannot externally charge the battery, so this means you need a repair, unfortunately.
Before ending this reply I just wanna clear the fact that,
The battery isn't damaged, it just isn't able to get power,(here it is because of the device) this means that if somehow some energy can be provided to the battery, the battery need not be replaced.
I wish you luck , may you be able to fix your phone again.

Dear all,
I hope there is someone here, who can help me with my issue. I lost my hope after trying almost everything found in the internet.
So here is the problem: I was using my phone as a navigation in my car. The battery was low, so I used the car charger and kept it plugged, while driving. I observed, that even though I was charging my phone via car charger, the battery continued to get low and finally the phone turned off. After reaching home, I plugged my phone with an original quick charger from Xiaomi. Unfortunately I was not able to charge my phone and it got stuck in a bootloop, with a phone showing Mi Logo, vibrating and switching off repeatedly.
When I connect the phone with the laptop, it is shortly recognized (when it is booting) and then disconnected and again and again. I can go to fastboot mode but I cannot flash my phone using MiFlash, because I get an error: Failed. Low battery.
Does anyone know the solution? I would really appreciate any help.

I am still waiting for the response from Global Service. If nothing happens, I will go to local 'mi center', where I know they can repair xiaomi phones, but not on warranty.
Apart from that, phone is still dead, but I have not tried yet anything else. I found this: https://xiaomifirmware.com/guides-and-tips/fix-bootloop-redmi-note-4-mtk/
But I am not sure, if this should work. Anyone have tried?

That post shows you how to enter deep flash mode. You can give it a try. If that works, Voila, If it does't better go the service center.
So I got the response from service (it took them ages). Maybe it will help someone:
With respect to your concern, I would request you to please follow some troubleshooting steps in order to resolve your issue:
Try to charge your device with another compatible charger for at least 30 minutes
Long press power button for 10-15 seconds and check whether the device is responding or not
If the issue persists please follow the below mentioned steps:

(Note :- Please save the backup file on your PC/Laptop so that your important data would be prevented)

I did not try anything from this yet, I have my phone at home, but maybe it will help some of you.
btw. the previous method from the link (deep flash mode) is not working for me.
PEOPLE I FIXED MY PHONE!!! I used again and again this method, which I have already posted before: https://xiaomifirmware.com/guides-and-tips/fix-bootloop-redmi-note-4-mtk/
I didn't work at the beginning, so I left my phone and actually wanted to wait till I go back home to my country for the weekend and visit Xiaomi service, but FINALLY IT WORKED!!! I cannot explained what was the reason that this time it clicked. My phone was completely drained, left for long time without touching. As a result I have a battery icon now and it is charging, no bootloop anymore. Hope this method would help someone. Be patient and try multiple times!
So it is not software problem causing the bootloop
So it is not a software, but only hardware - the battery - as the only problem in this case. I am facing a very similar case with my Redmi Note 4x Mediatek (4/64 Memory) just starting Friday morning (9Feb). I thought it was charging overnight, but in the morning found the power totally drained, and stucked not be able to recharge for hours. This phone is still under warranty (9month use) but ridiculously the Official Service Agent said they need up to 40days to fix this phone. This is worst experience comparing to other phones I ever had.
First of all, sorry if this isn't the right place to post this thread.
Last night i was playing TFT on my Xiaomi Mi 10 as it shut itself down without any warning.
I'm sure i had more than 20% battery left.
This device is about 1 month old, and it crashed one time before, but i could just reboot it with the power button.
This time though, no reaction.
I tried every possible combination of Volume Up/Down and Power button presses, nothing. No vibration, nothing on the screen, just plain nothing.
It literally bricked itself. I did not root it or anything similar, I just used it normally.
Any ideas on what caused this, and more importantly how to fix this? I can't believe this.

I guess, that your battery is totally empty. Put on charger and leave on it few hours long.

I charged it 4 hours in the night and right now since 3 hours
Call service. Sorry. If it doesn't boot into fastboot (vol-&power) things are bad...
Try plugging in your phone to a computer. I had a similar thing happen to another phone a little while ago when out of the blue it just died. I tried charging it, wireless charging it, trying power buttons etc but it instantly fixed itself when I plugged in the phone to my computer via USB. Let us know how it went.

Try different cable or check if the cable you use is working. Then press both volume up, down, and power button for at least five minutes. It might reset the phone. It happened to me once time not on the mi 10 but my rog phone 2 and I press that 3 buttons combination and the phone booted up again. I know the mi 10 might not work the same way as the rog phone 2 but you have nothing to lose to try it.
Yeah I tried using another cable, although I know this cable works (old phone). I also tried charging it via my PC, I even tried to connect to it via ADB, it didn't show up in the device list after installing the drivers.
Pretty sure I'm going to give it to service, I still got warranty and I even have insurance for it.
Because of that I don't want to open it to get the battery out and back in, although I'd really really like to know what caused this. I literally played a game and zap it goes black never to be seen again... I hope the service finds the cause and tells me.
Anyway, thank you really much for the suggestions and the help. Incase I get to know what caused this I will write it here as long as I remember to. Until then Cheers Lads.
Same here. My step-daughter purchased this phone and received it Tuesday morning. Now it won;t respond to anything.
I was handed the phone with "pcsuite.mi.com" on the screen but upon connecting to my laptop the screen went black and now won't respond to anything at all. No Recovery mode, no fastboot mode, no vibrations, nothing.
From reading reports online from other users, it seems like Xiamoi really "dropped the ball"/"shat the bed" with this model

I've also performed "lsusb" to see if the device is alive and there's nothing there either
