I have searched the forum but cannot find a solution that works for me....
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and the Resolution Remix ROM and that all worked fine. But I wanted to try a different ROM so I installed the Xiaomi.eu ROM and now my phone won't do anything at all. I don't think the EU ROM installed properly (although I did not get an error message when installing) and when I rebooted the phone it just went blank and now does not work at all.
No combination of buttons will turn the phone on or enter Fastboot or TWRP. I cannot do anything with the phone at all. Can someone please help?

Are you sure your phone is charged?
If it's charged, it at least would boot to the Mi Splash Screen. Put it to charge for some time.

It had 80% battery on it when I flashed the ROM so it must still have battery left.

See, after flashing MIUI based ROM, or doing some changes to it, flashing LazyFlasher avoids the risks of Bootloop.
But it atleast should boot to the Mi logo screen.
Try holding the power key for 10+ seconds. It forces device to restart when it gets hanged. Try it.

I've held down the power button for more than 10 seconds, even 2-3 minutes and nothing happens. I don't think it is in a bootloop, it is not doing anything at all - no Mi logo screen, no LED.
The only thing it does is flash a red LED light when it is connected to my laptop or the the main power but it definitely has charge on it.

See, if it's showing the red LED, just put it to charge with another charger. I had a RN3 stuck in the same situation, tried pressing the button for long and did everything I could get to know. But then left it to charge for half an hour with another charger and tried holding the power button once more and it did the job. Maybe it was my luck.

OK, I am charging it now. I hope this is the problem but it doesn't make sense that it went from 80% to nothing in a few seconds.

I charged the phone for a while and the red light stopped flashing. The phone will still not turn on or go into fastboot or TWRP. When I hold the power button down for a while the red light starts flashing again.
Also, when I connect the phone to my laptop, Device Manager only recognizes the device as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4). It does not show up in any other way.

Seriously, if I were facing this problem, I would have left my phone on charge and would have tried holding the power button again and again. Because it worked many times for me. A buggy RN3 made me suffer a lot this way. And it has worked.
But you may try the battery fix. Open the back case and do the required fix. I'll fetch you the related screenshot. Wait.

I won't recommend doing this, but it is what it is.
Someone else might help you better. But this is all what I could get. Keep in mind this is for RN3. But except for the EDL method, all procedures are nearly same.

Pls forget for once that your phone was charged, it's not charged right now or the battery connection is poor. I faced the red LED problem and charging and continous power button pressing was the only solution. And one more user is reporting the same. So, just forget for once that your phone is charged.

Just to update. When I charge the phone the red light flashes for a couple of minutes and then stops. There is no yellow light to say that it is charging. This applies to both laptop and mains charging. I also took the back cover off and disconnected the battery and USB cable for a little while to make sure the phone was off before reconnecting.
I tried to connect to the phone with the MiFlash tool but it says it cannot read from the device. As I said before, when I connect the phone to my laptop Device Manager recognizes the device as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Some threads seem to think this is a good thing but it hasn't helped me.
I am continuing to 'charge' the phone but does anyone have any advice if this doesn't help?

I've tried all combinations of buttons but nothing works. The phone just won't turn on into any mode. If I can just turn it on I can flash it again and fix it I think.
The only response I'm getting is a blinking red light for a couple of minutes when connected to laptop or mains. Someone must know what this means?
Can anyone confirm that a blinking red light and the fact that the phone shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in Device Manager suggests that the phone is in EDL mode when connected to a laptop?

I was downgrading from 4.0.4 to 2.3.5 and while flashing with RSDlite the battery suddely went down and it showed failure.
Since then I am not able to turn my phone on, nor even in the menu which shows the option of AP Fastboot.
When I plugin into the computer, it shows a white LED and nothing else. What should I do?

I have been seeing many threads here. One of them suggested to charge in AP fastboot mode using the buttons but that didn't work for me. I am yet to try the cable method.
Is there any other way out?
Guys, I cannot understand why users are trying to flash with low battery again and again. The problem is already known well, am I right?
So, put your device on the charger, NOT TO THE PC. Wait a while and check if it's charging. Maybe you are able to put the device into the fastboot mode only for a short moment, there you can shut it down pressing the power button shortly. The you should be able to charge it normally. If not, try a factory cable. AND at least: READ THE FORUMS!!!
Edit: And do NOT charge it with your PC! It will only charge with you charger.

My phone automatically boots in the fastboot mode and it shows battery low. I am not able to charge it.
I have been reading the forums and all the stuff I found is not working, that's why I made this new thread.
I think from fb mode press vol down and power.This should turn off and you may be able to charge. If not either get a factory lead made or make on yourself

doubt it, ive been trying endless methods to try make it work as waiting for factory cable from ebay is gonna be like 20-25working days, not counting the despatch of the item after 3 business days of payment being received. god that is soooooo long 4 me!! arghhhh
You'll need a factory cable to flash a new rom in order to charge ur razr. Do a factory cable forum search.
Don't be scared by the name, it's just a modified cable you do by yourself.
Good luck

You just buy the factory cable.it can solved the issue. just PM me.
This morning, my Z ultra died on me. It wont start, no vibration, no use pressing vol + power buttons and the red switch. I was neither rooted or bootloader unlocked.
When I tried to connect it to my laptop (Windows 7), its shows as a USB device. The red LED flashes up, the computer finds it and then lets go of it again. Again in a few minutes, the red LED goes up , the computer makes the connection sound and then the red LED goes off again. This cycle goes on and on.
I cannot use SEUS, Flash, Fastboot or do anything. I have checked various forums and apparently I have not hard bricked the phone as the LED still works and the computer recognizes the problem. But no one has given any concrete solution.
When I connect it to the charger which came with the phone, the red LED pops up and then goes off again. I dont know if its charging. HOWEVER, I have used another Chinese Travel Charger, and then the red LED stays solid as if its charging. I dont know what it means.
Please help. I spent a lot behind this phone. I dont want to be left with a brick
It's not an issue if it's completely stock is it? You have your warranty, but i understand that i sucks to have it shipped in for repairs for god knows how long. I had a similar issue some time ago, but i'm bootloader unlocked and what not, so that was pretty easy to fix. You're completely stock though, so it's a little harder to do anything.
What happens if you hold VOL UP when you connect it to your computer? Does a blue LED light up? If yes, does it stay on, or does it disappear? What happens if you hold VOL DOWN when you connect it to your computer? Do you get a blinking LED and then nothing? That's normal, and it's going into Flashmode. If you can get it to stay in Flashmode you'll be able to re-flash a ROM in Flashtool. But be 100% sure to have enough battery, or else you'll be in danger of hard bricking it.
So..
- Plug the wall charger in and charge it for a couple of hours (2-3 hours)
- Try to kick it into Fastboot (VOL UP when you connect it to your computer). Look for blue LED.
- Try to kick it into Flashmode (VOL DOWN when you connect it yo your computer). No LED.
Hi LordManhattan. I dont have any warranty as I brought it from a local reseller .
Whether I press Vol UP or vom DOWN when I connect to the laptop, a red LED pops up, there is a connection sound and after that the red LED goes off and and there is a disconnection sound.
If I leave the phone connected with the computer, the phone gets connected after 2/3 minutes, there is a connection sound and then there is a disconnection sound again . Any clue what I can do :crying::crying:

just a small note or two:
Flashmode the LED should go orange, then blue then off within about 1second then it is in Flashmode
To get into either of these modes the phone has to be powered fully OFF, press the red reset button before charging to make sure, then again just before the above steps.
It sort of sounds like a corrupted loader

Have a good read of this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
It would suggest that the battery is flat. Let it charge in the wall plug for a few hours and see what happens
I have let the phone to charge overnight with the charger that came with the phone. As I said before, with that charger, the red LED would turn on and then go off again. I will hopefully try the Chinese travel charger tonight with which the red LED remains solid.
The funny thing is , the phone had about 80% charge when it died. This is so weird :'(

It's a battery issue most probably. I guess it doesn't show anything. Is your battery removable?
I still have not opened my phone. I am looking at all the other options first. If everything else fails, I guess I will have to open my phone

+1 contact your local sony, i had a similar problem, no fastboot/flashmode. locked bl/not rooted and my led only flashed red and occasionally solid red then nothing. plugging it into computer continuously played the disconnecting sound.
most likely hardbricked.
i also purchased my xzu from a local BST but as long as you have your imei, contact sony and theyll tell you if you have warranty. they required me to send in proof of purchase as well but like most say "play stupid" ( i said i received it as a gift and they said it was fine)
i got a brand new XZU after a week and a half sending it in.

Thank you! One or two years ago my Z Ultra's screen cracked and I got a new phone. Decided to use it again, purchased a new screen and replaced it myself today. When I tried to move to AOSP (had root, bootloader unlocked, backup of TA partition), the phone bricked. No SONY logo, nothing. Did what you said above, Xperia Companion recognized the phone in flashmode and is now downloading the newest stock rom. I was so afraid of a hard brick, that living with latest stock without root doesn't seen so bad now hahaha
Hey Friends, I have exactly the same issue. The red led just flashes up for a couple of seconds and this cycle continues. My battery was a bit swollen up and the back glass cover opened up a bit. Still battery was working fine. Two days ago I tried nougat aosp on it and after leaving it idle for 2 hours, it was bricked. I can enter into flashmode and flashed stock LP as well as KK but it does not boots up. Is it definitely battery's problem? If yes, where can I buy original or near original battery for it?

The battery is dangerous and should be removed. Be careful because the battery can burst into flames if the bloated cell get punctured.
Use tools with caution and take your time.
Lipo cells expands as a first safety trigger. Instead of going strait to venting or venting and burst into flames.
Its a safety feature if they are charged with too high current or if the cell is drained below its 2,22 volts and is brought back to life with a normal charger that puts normal current on the cell. Then even 400mA in this scenario is way too much current to start charging a drained cell with.
But the battery should not be the issue that your phone is not booting. How did you flash stock rom? With Flashtool?
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.

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.

Well that gives me some hope. Where are you? In the UK the phone is rare so I'm worried that they won't know what to do with it.

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 have purchase new redmi note 3 prime. Very first time when I switched it on after charge it start booting and still continue since 8 hour. Nothing happened neither switch off nor restart even hard boot is also not working. Only logo of mi is blinking on screen.
Can someone suggest me plz.
I am also having same problem. Volume down and power button also not working
I too had same issue. I held down the power button for almost 15 seconds and it booted up
I reflashed to stock rom. After that (succesful boot), it suggest to update to a newer Firmware. I agreed. Then it doesn't awake anymore.
Even long press to power there is no sign of life.
If I plug the power, the white LED goes on for a certain time. I guess it is until it is fully charged.
After this it starts blinking: long, short, long, short .. a few times, than it stops
After pressing the keys, blinking starts again - with no stop until unplugging USB.
Is there any hope to recover it. This time I have not much hope ....
In my moto E, when I connect to charger, the white light blinks for 1 sec, then goes off. No long press, anything is working

1. Press and hold power button and connect the charger
If white screen appears then go for next step
2. Unplug the charger once and again connect your charger without pressing any button
3. Let your mobile get charged
4. Then flash stock/custom ROM (search in XDA thread)
NOTE : Don't use stock charger(default charger comes with your mobile kit)
USE DIFFERENT CHARGER
Hope it helps you:good:

Used a Samsung Charger, pressed power and plugged in. Nothing happened first. After a while (i guess I released the button) the white LED starts blinking again. And it still blinks.
I haven't seen anything on screen since this update happened ...
Seems to be really screwed.

Can you go to fastboot mode??

No, Power + Volume down (also tried Volume up) - nothing helped.
The only sign of life is the white LED that seems to indicate charging (if it is on/not blinking).
The second is this strange blinking, I can start with Power + Volume down (but only if USB cable is plugged).
But a "adb usb" reports "no device/emulators found"

The whit led flashing happens when the battery is deep discharged....Put it on charge for at least 20 minutes ...Then try turning it on ,or going into fastboot mode by disconnecting the charger first

From my experience the White LED goes on (not flashing) if it charges.
It goes off after fully charged. I keep it on charger for many hours.
The LED flashing only happens If I try to go into fastboot while USB is plugged.

You should try to go into fastboot when the phone is fully charged ,rather than when it is being charged ,I have seen it that behaves weirdly when trying to enter into fastboot with the charger being plugged in .

Mh, from what I see - if there is no USB plugged, it happens nothing at all. I can preess Power or Power+Volume up/down as long as I like ...

A question, which stock ROM version did u flash 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ?
I was on Lineage, flashed back to stock. Probably to 4.4.2. Than it wants to update to newer stock release, guess 4.4.4 but not sure. Do you think this matters?

See other threads, u did a mistake by flashing 4.4.2 . You should have flashed 4.4.4 instead. Accepting the OTA, you have hard-bricked your device. It can't be restored as of now. Buy a new device

Do you have the v4.4.2 ROM as I just want to check if otg is working or not. As only words are flying around I just need to confirm it.

As mine one is a brick I deleted all the tested roms and stuff. Sorry.
But as far as I remember OTG doesn't work on Moto E.

Will verify, no OTG support on stock.
xt830c variant but i doubt that will make any difference lol.
Your device is hard bricked now same as mine. I did the same thing 1 year ago.
I haven't found any solutions yet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/help/solution-hard-bricked-moto-e-t3586395
Let's wait if these guys find some solution.
Btw if anyone have a working Moto E please update the image file on drive and share the link over there.
That will a great help.
Thanks!!
Hi,
I need help with Mi A3 which was running in Android 10.
Suddenly it shut down around 30% battery and was not booting after that.
Unable to boot it either in fastboot or recovery mode, no notification led on charging also.
It once booted into fastboot, but i restarted to try booting in recovery mode for resetting, but it didn't boot in recovery and later not even fast boot.
I tried following
Try 1
Charging overnight. (didn't worked)
Try 2
Disconnect battery.
Press and hold power button for 2 mins.
Plug in charger while holding power button.
Release power button after a minute.
Connect battery.
PS: It happened on the night of the last day of warranty :crying:
Edit: One strange thing i noted is that when I keep the power button pressed, i can hear some mild ticking sound holding phone close to my ear, on intervals just over 1 sec .
Can anyone help !!!

Sounds like a HW issue, so probably only service center can help. It might be cheaper to buy a new phone instead though (especially if they need to replace whole motherboard).

Hard bricked Mi A3
I accidentally bricked my phone after successfully flashing a miui rom in MiFlash. After flashing on MiFlash, my device stopped functioning. The only response I could get from it was in the miflash. I already tried flashing firmware I watched on...
