Dear Redmi Note 3 experts,
I have totally hard bricked my Redmi Note 3 trying to unlock unofficially. No hardware damage, only hard brick.
I was wondering if it is possible to bring it back to life by changing it's motherboard.
Is there a recommended place online to buy a mother board or a service center I can ship this to replace the mother board?
Does this even make any sense? or is it even possible?
Appreciate any guidance
Use test point mathod it will be back in life easily. Tested myself

can you boot to fastboot if yes then flash via fast boot or search for FASTBOOT TO EDL MODE IN guide news section and flash via EDL that might help
Something like this happened with me...thankfully my device was under warranty and my motherboard was changed in 2 hrs..now I unlocked officially after taking permission and using custom rom now
Buy a deepflash cable for 5$ in Aliexpress.

If you're unable to boot to fastboot and edl or the pc shows 9008E, get the deep flash cable from Alixpress. It's cheap and easiest way to recover your phone. This cable works fine.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...rts-all-BL-locks-Engineering/32785943419.html
Or you can make the cable yourself with some Youtube tutorials posted above.
I can see 9008E. So I just bought a deep flash cable and was able to flash global stable rom with success message.
When I pressed power button, nothing happened.
When I pressed -vol+power, nothing.
when I pressed +vol+power, nothing.
Then I pressed -vol +vol +power together and the screen showed mi logo and android logo at the bottom. Attached picture. It's been like this for 30mins already. It doesn't seem to finish booting. Should I wait?

Wait a bit more and if nothing happens try rebooting to fastboot.
If fastboot is accessible try flashing the latest dev rom.

Did you flash all partition including storage? If I remember correctly, this shouldn't take more than 10-15 mins to boot up or even less. If it's still stuck, you should select 'flash all including storage' in Mi flash.
Or
Since your phone can boot into fastboot now, I would suggest to unlock it unofficially and flash zcx twrp recovery and than flash the rom through recovery after formatting all data.
Device booted after flashing Chinese developer rom. However, another issue seems to have sprouted from this.
There is a prompt saying "Cant Get Valid Device ID"

You lost your IMEI and Modem. Try this -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/flash-recover-efs-snapdragon-t3406789
My phone box has only one IMEI code. I was able to restore that imei to the sim 2 slot. sim 1 slot has some unknown imei1.
However, after much effort flashing many roms trying many methods for efs/imei restore, i was not able to get the sim cards working. none of the sim slots work.
Does the "Radio: OFF" status mean it's being kept forcibly off by the system. i looked for an option to turn it on with no success...

Same thing is happened with me.
No recovery,No fastboot.
Took my phone to service center & they changed motherboard.
Now bootloader is locked & IMEI changed.
Tried to unlock using old account but now it shows error at 50%
How to unlock it again?

U did somethibg wrong..u have to use imei fixer and input your own imei given at the back of box..dont.input some random imei..imei spoofing is illegal
I have also lost IMEI, sent to service and motherboard was changed with IMEI. The problem is the new motherboard, which keeps rebooting, suddenly and randomly. When starts to reboot, it never stops and keeps rebooting on Mi logo - never get to loading MIUI. Even if I flash the MIUI (global) again through EDL, same thing happens. After some time, it will revive again by itself and starts booting. My fault is I didn't backup nvram with the build came from service, but with global stable after I have updated.
It sounds as a hardware issue, or it could be resolved by some software flashing/modification?
@Yogendra Kher Do you have any issues with new motherboard?

Hi,
I've bricked my Redmi Note 3 SP while I was restoring a CM backup via TWRP. I think I probably restored an erroneous partition.
At first, I was able to enter Fastboot, but my PC wasn't recognizing it (Power surge problem) and I had no one else available at the moment to test.
Probably my phone lost all the battery and now it is completely dead. I think I'm being unable to charge it.
I tried I lot of tutorials but my phone is still bricked. I have only not tested the pin test solution as I'm uncomfortable about it.
I tried this steps, but it is still not being recognized by my pc: http://en.miui.com/thread-274589-1-1.html
Anyone else with the same problem?
you can try the deep flash cable method first if you are uneasy about opening the phone up (never tried but I've heard this is what the service centers use)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmdrj4uX7gY
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0tDN20BWj-aeERBczg3QjQtUzA/view
I've opened the phone cover and unplugged the battery and usb as required in the tutorial I posted. But it isn't working.

if you unable to enter EDL by any means, take it to the service centre, i hope its not old than a year,
I have my phone for just a few months, but I'm afraid they could not to repair it as it happened cause of mistake made by me.
I will try to find someone who had the same problem I'm facing and had resolved it a few more days.

Had the same issue as yours, tried everything, nothing worked.
Finally had to go to service center, turned out that my motherboard was dead.
Motherboard will arrive in some 15-20 days, till then i have the phone in my drawer.
They said they will replace it as soon as it arrives,just have to wait now, it has already been 10-12 days!
How did it happened to you? It happens while you are using your phone normally, or after a wrong flash as with me?

I've already received the phone from the (unofficial) service center.
They just reinstalled all the software of the phone, probably using the method of the pin test.
So whats the problem is that.... I like to work on other custom roms from xda developers.so I need to unlock my bootloader and the rest happened. Everything is fine for about a year, shifting from one custom rom to other like those,...but donna a few days back while flashing a rom, something gone wrong, so from then whenever I press the power button the mi logo used to come up for a sec and will force shuts down. Neither the recovery mode turns on.Then I thought I may ended up hard bricking my device. But whats stunning is that fastbood mode used to remain active if I press power + vol- key. I could have recovered that issue by flashing stock rom using mi flash tool and all that procedure but then I was in a case without internet and not even a computer to do so. So in a hurry burry situation I took that phone to a normal repair shop....not to the authorised MI care (this is where I made mistake).the technician there took abt 8 hrs to repair and finaly gave me the repaired phone. at that time I didnt check the phone thoroughly (this was my 2nd mistake). The next day morning when I was answering a phone call , I noticed that the phones display not turning off. So here the problem started...whole sensors are not at all detected on not even working. So here the issue I would like to bring to ur kind notice is that what could have been the reason for this to happen....is that a software issue made by that technician or any hardware issue (may be the technician might have damaged the IC or he must have intentionally damaged it to get some money so I would have turned up to him again) or any software issue.....
any sort of comments are highly encouraged here.....plz help me out of this situation.....
Just flash persist.img

Guys, I recently bought a redmi 5 plus that installed with miui 9.2.0.2.
It can randomly bricked after a few days use.
When it bricked, I cannot boot into recovery mode nor power up the device, the led light keep blinking when charging and nothing will ever show up on the screen no matter what I press.
All I do is take it to service centre and they will open up the device back cover and boot it, but they will never tell me what they did.
Now the third time I go to service centre, they accused me for unauthorised opening the back cover due to scratch at the side of the screen, so the warranty is void.
Please help me get out of this nightmare, I want to know if I flash global dev rom to it, the problem will be solved?
If yes, how do I do it? Is it possible to flash with the updater? Or only testpoint method? (Note: this device is installed fake vendor rom)

if your device is completely bricked then you have to do test point method. It is not very hard, and it will make your phone work again, flash chinese beta rom and unlock bootloader if you want then.

Can I flash global development rom directly from a fake rom? From what I read in other thread, Chinese development rom will come out with error 86006
Personally i have a MEE7 version phone, you can check yours in the phone box. I had a fake rom and couldnt update or flash anything. So i did test point, flashed chinese developer rom and succesfully bind my account without any error whatsoever and no need for any vpn at all. So now i am only waiting for 15 days to go by and i can unlock.

No you cannot flash global rom over fake rom - it will brick the phone - tried and tested.
test point method to chinese developer rom, unlock bootloader and then flash global rom.
Brothers, I was using stock ROM of Android 10 and fed up with the bugs and overheating issues so I decided to install customer ROM for a while. I followed the steps to install TWRP and my phone stuck in FASTBOOT mode. Mistakenly I did those steps in both the slots so my phone was not booting from neither slots. The time tried to flash TWRP I had my bootloader unlocked and USB Debbing enabled. In doing R&D I locked my bootloader again and was not able to unlock it as it was always showing me an error "remote unlocking not allowed". Now after 15 days my phone has not have enough battery to power on all it shows after pressing power button for 10 seconds is blinking notification light. When I try to charge it notification light keeps on blinking and nothing happens. In my country and state everything is shut down due to covid-19 and there is no hope for the service centers to open until 25 days. Is there anyone who can help me in getting my phone fixed as I can't buy new phone due to shut down neither I can service my device.
PS: I am not very much into mobile development and kind of nood.. Please help me!

With locked bootloader, you need a service center with an authorized mi account. Find some online service, they will guide you and connect remotely to your PC to reflash the ROM.

You have no choice
In reality its better to be unlock bootloader than lock because whatever happens in ypur phone you can easily flash by mi flash tool. So you dont have to worry when youre phone goes something wrong. It cant detect youre phone when it fastboot because ypur phone not actually unlock the bootloader.

Can i unlock the bootloader now?
The path to data preservation could take two approaches. The first is an authorized service that would guarantee to restore the system with data preservation. An untested second path would be to achieve booting the phone in EDL mode and using MiFlash with the "save user data" option to load the corresponding latest Miui.
Unlocking the bootloader erases the data.
