Help! Bricked phone! No bootloop, no MIUI logo or fastboot - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

After restoring a TWRP backup, my phone did not boot. Whenever I connect it to a computer the notification light blinks red and Windows 64Bits does not list it the device manager. I have tried both EDL methods, pressing vol + and - and connecting to USB or Testpoint method. I don't see the MIUI logo and I cannot even enter fastboot mode. The only method that gives a "sign" is the testpoint but it lists my phone as: Unknown USB device (Device descriptor request failed)
Any ideas???
Thank you!

I think you have problem with windows, I recommended you to install windows 10 pro x64 and you have no problem with drivers. Have you disabled driver signature verification ? But you try this bellow.
First have you unlocked bootloader ? If bootloader unlocked you can boot phone into fastboot & flash with fastboot. Shutdown phone by hold power button for 10 seconds and fast hold volume down then push usb cable into phone. If first method not working, try reconnect battery and usb cable then hold volume down and connect usb to phone. On phone appear you have entered in fastboot mode. Use fastboot rom to flash via fastboot. Other method is try to disconnect battery and usb cable and connect again, try hold volume up and down and connect usb, also try test point method . If not working it's problem with windows and drivers, what version of windows are you using ? Take care with test point pin's to not damage.

Thank you for replying. I have windows 10 x64 installed. I have disabled driver signature verification. The bootloader was unlocked via official manner. I cannot boot into fastboot. The phone is just dead. No response at all. I have successfully done the test point before but my phone was showing the MIU logo and entering fastboot. Now, the phone is just dead. The only sign of life it gives is when I connect it to the computer or charger. The light blinks red.

I try cm 13 and I restore MIUI via twrp then i got this problem.
i try this method " en.miui.com/thread-245347-1-1 " and i can flash MIUI rom via miflash but when press power button the phone wont turn on or vibrate. please help.
sorry for my english.

Test point must work, try to uninstall drivers from windows. First disconnect usb from phone, disconnect battery and usb cable and recoonect.

Connect usb cable and does test point. If not working you have problem with drivers 99.9%. Try on another pc.

No USB connection - Half bricked?

Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet. Camera doesnt work though (Error: Camera not available)
2) Charge my tablet (Only partially... When the tablet is ON, it doesn't charge. When OFF it charges to about 50% - odd behavior)
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
--------------------------------------
I managed to make an adb connection to my PC via WIFI
On the tablet:
1) Opened a root terminal
2) setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
3) stop adbd
4) start adbd
On my PC:
1) adb connect <network IP of tablet>
Printscreen of Flashtool connected via adb WIFI:

Does this get me any closer to fixing my USB problem or to flashing an update/recovery?
Another update:
I hadn't tried using my camera at all. I just tried and it says: Error: Camera not available
Maybe its related to the USB connectivity issue...
Will pay 60 bux via paypal to whoever solves my problem, since Sony won't!
Possible?
Is it possible to flash in flashboot mode via SD Card (No recovery present on tablet) using some kind of script before putting the tab in flashboot mode??
Interesting Info
Hey guys,
got some interesting info regarding charging cycles from: http://sony-xperiasp.blogspot.de/2013/08/recover-all-2012-xperias-from-soft-brick.html
Its not really for the tablet Z, but sounds very similar.
My charging cycle is about at 3. When phone is off, it will start at a RED led, and go upto abot 20-30%, where the Kernel kicks in. As soon as that happens, as described in the article, a short click of the power button shows the battery icon. BUT, it doesnt show the battery charging anymore!
In short, as soon as the Kernel comes on, my battery stops charging. Now my QUESTION: Is it possible there is a minimum charge to be able to go into flashmode?? Because when I try to go into flashmode, it blinks green and then red. Maybe this means not enough battery charge to go into flashmode?
Can someone PLEASE, check this on their working Tablet Z?! With an extremely low battery charge, if they are able to go into flashmode! (steady green)
Would really appreciate! Thanks!!
Problem solved... 2 USB cables faulty, got a new one. Now it charges and goes into flashmode. Flashed stock, all OK except the Camera. Still says Camera unavailable. Thats maybe really the thin wire inside loose!

Wrong preloader drivers, I guess.
Have a look at the alcatel drivers posted somewhere, those work for me.

I can't load in fastboot mode

Hello,
I would like to root my Z5C, but I can't load the phone in fastboot mode.
I tried the following :
adb reboot bootloader (with my phone one, with usb debug)
the phone shut down completely, but nothing is displayed on the screen​
power up + volume up (from my phone shutdowned)
there are three vibrations, and sometimes the logo Xperia appears for a few second, but then the screen show the charging icon​
power down + plug usb (from my phone shutdowned)
nothing appends​
each time, I tried the following command to check if the phone was indeed in fastboot mode :
fastboot devices
but I get nothing (empty list).
Could you help me please?
thanks in advance.
As far as I know, only the led will light up. The display stays black. Have you looked in the device manager if your device is recognized there. Maybe as an unknown device etc?
then I probably don't have the correct driver. I installed this one
developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z5-compact-driver
Do you know where I can find the correct driver?
In device manager, I see a new item when I plug my phone :
USB mass storage device
I tried to update the driver with the one mentioned before, but it says that it is already up to date.

You've got some commands wrong. Volume up plus power is hard reset. You get 3 vibrations then phone is off.
To get into fastboot mode or flash mode you do not use power button and phone needs to be off. Simply hold volume up and plug in USB for fastboot mode, or hold volume down plus plug in USB for flash mode. Blue LED for fastboot and green LED for flash mode.
This is the best option for install and drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
I became a lot more understandable, thanks you.
I tried to install android driver from the topic you suggested (I know I should post in this topic, but I have not enough privileges to do so), but I have the following issue :
after the installation of the drivers, I followed the howto_driver.zip (the device is not recognized), and in step 5, I don't see the "android device" driver.
As suggested by

I tried to install KB2917929 but during the installation I got
The update is not applicable for this computer​error. After a bit of googleing, I found this

Hi ,
The Best Thing To Install KB2917929 Is To Remove The KB2919355 Update
To remove the update, follow these methods:
Press Windows Key + X.
Click on Programs and Features.
Click on View installed updates on the left hand side.
Find the update KB2919355, right click on it and Uninstall​.
After That Re Install The KB2917929 Update And It Will Be Installed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But when I tried to uninstal KB2919355 I got this error :
An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled​I gave up and tried to install the usb driver from a folder. I downloaded the following driver : developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html
but when I tried to update the driver, I get a message error saying
windows could not find driver software for your device.​I run out of option (I might try this with linux, but I have no machine running under linux right now).
try forcing install of the driver by selecting the unknow device/detected phone and update/install driver by "find software driver in pc" then "choose manually driver from a driver list" then "driver disk" button on the right, "explore" and go the folder and select the downloaded driver. Be sure to install the correct driver described in the guides.
I get the following after selecting the "driver disk" :

I suppose that by explore you mean Have disk.
I tried to select the usb driver directory, and I get the following error :
The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based system​The folder I selected is the unzip of the driver from developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html

SP Flash Tool is stuck as 0% with Lenovo s860 2GB(non-removable battery)

My phone is now bricked because I tried to flash the stock ROM(4.4.2) to my phone(6.0.1). At the time, I didn't know that you must format the phone before I guess, "downgrading" it. After I searched on google that I should format it, I went to SP Flash Tool to format it, and the phone got formatted. Now, all I need to do is to flash the stock ROM right? So I did flash the stock ROM to my phone, made sure that VCOM drivers are installed, using the latest version of SP Flash Tool. BUT, when I connected the phone to my laptop(through USB), the laptop detected it, when I press the Download button on the SP Flash Tool it's just at 0%. I tried to use the Firmware upgrade but still, stuck at 0%. I tried it on another PC and still, no luck. What do I do??? PLEASE HELP. I have until afternoon to fix it on my own because I'll give it to the local mobile repair shop.
BTW, the phone is still charging as I'm writing this thread
First of all install the drivers to your pc
Then, enable usb debugging in developer options in settings
Then, connect your phone
Now check whether pc recognize your phone if yes
Then, power off your phone
Now find the scatter file in sp flash tool and then click on download button
After it connect your switched off phone to pc with a usb cable
You will see that sp flash tool will recognize your device and start formatting and then downloading....
All this process will takes only 4-5 minutes at most.

I fixed mine by connecting the test point
You must open your phone and connect ground (any wire to ground) and find the preloader testpoint
Mine was the second test point near the volume control and power button next to the sim or black cable under the orange plastic covering the connector
I dont have the picture but i can give you an example (not s860 but similar)
WARNING: FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!
BE CAREFUL OR YOUR PHONE WILL BE DEAD!

Those are test points, find a wire (any electrical wire) screw it to the screw that's holding the motherboard (for ground) and try each one of the test point, be careful not to connect the wire to vcc,vcharge or any 4.xx pins (if you were checking using a multimeter)
Here's a video for disassembling the phone : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry37RjmnZRo
And here's for reference : http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f672/lenovo-a850-dead-boot-how-easy-jtag-1868940/index2.html
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f958/a850-lenovo-dead-while-flashing-1888753/
After you find the test point, the phone will be detected by the computer as vcom or something, quickly install the mtk65xx driver (if you haven't install yet) and flash the stock rom using sp flash.
Best of luck.

Very likely you can't.
From your description, when you flashed it, A13 was updated only on one slot with the new bootloader, while the second slot is still stuck with the previous bootloader. During the flashing (how did you flash?), something went wrong, so the Pixel wanted to boot from the second slot with the "old" bootloader and the "Anti-Roll-Back" kicked in.
RMA and hopefully get an exchange
Cheers
Follow this steps and let us know if it worked for you
1. Unplug the cable from your phone
2. Press and hold for at least 15 seconds the power button then release
3. Connect a cable from your pc to your phone but you need to press volume up and hold it until you connect the cable, once connected release the button your phone shall turn on fastboot mode, it it worked just proceeded and flash a13 again, just download it from it's official source
14. Profit
