Hard Bricked brand new Xiaomi Mi Pad 3. Please help!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I've bought a Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 with a Chinese Rom, and I was following a tutorial to flash a new rom into it.
I basically did the following:
Installed MediaTek Drivers on PC
Opened "Smart Phone Flash Tool"
Specified Download-Agent as DA_SWSEC.bin and Scatter-loading File as the ROM
Unchecked preloader and clicked on "Download"
Connected the Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 to the computer while pressing Volume Down
Then, at this point, the computer crashed with a blue screen of death with the error "BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER". Here is the diagnosis of the error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After that, the Mi Pad won't turn on, won't respond to any button and is not recognized by the computer.... I think I might have hard-bricked it.
I've found a tutorial about recovering a Mi Pad 1, but one of the steps is to make a bridge in the SD Card slot, which Mi Pad 3 don't seem to have.
I'm a developer myself, I know my way on things, I have a VM Linux, I'm willing to open the tablet and do whathever it costs to recover it.
Please, what can I do??

Please, anyone?

I FUC*ING RECOVERED MY FUC*ING TABLET. FUC* YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know exactly what it was, but I kinda did the following:
- Installed the latest SP Flash tool from spflashtool.com on my PC
- Installed Mi PC Suite for drivers and such
- To help debug, I had a freeware called "Free Device Monitoring Studio", to better understand what's going on on my USB ports
- I was playing a little with the connection/desconnection of the device on my computer, trying to understand how it was. I saw that Kali Linux running under Oracle VM kinda recognized it as a Mediatek device, but couldn't do anything else than that. With that info, my hopes went a little higher, because it wasn't completely dead after all.
- I opened Flash tool, configured it to used the same ROM and files I was using when I bricked it, because I'm pretty sure they weren't the cause of the brick and clicked "Download"
- Then I began messing with the tablet trying to make it be recognized by SP Flash Tool, upon turning it on and off and switching USB ports and connecting them directly to the motherboard USB ports instead of the frontal USB ports
- Then at one point it suddenly recognized and started downloading and flashing the new ROM. I faced some errors but with Format all + Download and having to disconnect/reconnect the batery to make it recognizable again and some little tweaks here and there, it ended up working.
My tablet is working fine now

Same issue here man - a friend has given me theirs to try and fix. Did you sort it out?
I've tried multiple Fastboot drivers, but fastboot devices doesn't see anything.
Any Help From XDA Profissionals
Hey Guys, any one here Can help Me
I am not an expert, but does the device still recognise external SD?
If so, maybe this will work:
1. Download a stock util from here https://www.mediafire.com/folder/23ycdy8i4f8mu/ASUS-me172v
(I previously used http://www.mediafire.com/download/3rn6cnzh95va6np/SD_RESTORE_UTIL_20130724_STOCK.ZIP)
2. Format external SD in FAT32 (so at least 4GB microSD card)
3. Extract contents of the stock util zip to the root of the SD
4. Put SD in the device and hope it'll boot from there, so you can restore a previous flash.
Maybe the device has to be rooted for this to work, in that case look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216390&page=27 and search Google for Me172vRootUtil_v0.1.zip
I hope this works, and if not, maybe someone else can help you!
hi guys..
same condition.anyone has solve it..? device was working but i only went to fastboot mode then "ready for download"..

Bricked Coolpad F1 8297W

My Coolpad F1 8297W is bricked to the point where it will not power up.
It is recognised in SP Flash tools and I have tried to flash the ROMs below, with no success:
miui_fi_emjot_4.5.16_multi_v02_spflash
[YDSS]Coolpad_F1_8297W_wcdma_by_Soda
Both will run the download successfully, but will still not boot, and I haven't found any other ROMs with the scatter files.
Can anyone help?

Thanks - Ran it through successfully with a full flash and connected it to the PC and can see the device manager constantly refreshing and beeping, but no activity on the phone itself - ie No battery charging sign etc and not detecting in Windows
I ran the RAM test in SP Flash Tools and all came back with no errors

Thanks - I have successfully flashed it this way many times and got the download to 100% with the green tick, the same as your screenshot, but it still will not boot or show any sign of activity with or without the battery (There is not even any sign that it is charging).
When plugged to the PC, device manager recognises that something is plugged in, but just disconnects and reconnects, without actually finding the phone.
Ran through successfully (on both download and also with format/download as per your screenshot,but the phone is still dead)

[SOLVED ]I bricked my phone, help me :'(

I was installing root to my cell phone, the installation everything fine, but when I was installing the original recovery, I accidentally moved the USB cable and it was disconnected, it stayed in the red bar of the flash tool, I gave it in "stop" and try to do it again, now the sp flash tool does not recognize it, but windows recognize the device as "Mediatek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COMX)" where X is a number.
I've read through other topics that keep the Vol+ works, but it does not work with me, or I do not know if I'm doing it right.
I have not removed the battery because I do not know how to open the cell phone.
In the sh flash tool, I use: "Download Only"
Sorry for my english.
EDIT:
I open the phone, quit battery, put again, and sp flash tool detect the device again

How did you manage to open the phone? When I tried it it felt like something was going to break.

Bootloader mode lost and device not anymore recognize under windows

Hello there,
my issue is that when i go in bootloader mode, i have a blackscreen, then my phone switch off. The system ui (custom rom Crdroid) and the recovery (orange fox) are working well.
I recognize also that when i reboot, i don't have anymore the MI logo where you have the status of your bootloader when it's unlocked.
More of it, when i plug it on windows , i cannot access to its usb storage (i tried also in mounting it through twrp, but same issue), nothing appears. For example, with an "adb devices" cmd command, no device can be found.
When i check the Windows devices manager, i can see an "unknown usb device" (i tried to force to reinstall drivers on it like the latest google usb driver, but windows refuse it, saying that it has the best and latest one for it).

Debugging mode is well enabled
Drivers have been reinstalled (the latest miflashtool install all what is needed)
Nothing appears on my smartphone when i plug it to windows (before i had a notification ot choose in charge mode, usb mode, etc...)
Plug to different usb port has been done without succeess
The phone doesn't appear in miflashtool obv
Restoring a previous backup didn't change the issue (i'm using the custom rom crdroid).
I guess all the things are linked but how i can fix it if i don't have access anymore to my bootloader mode to be able to flash some *.img via fastboot or if i cannot transfer files to my phone to operate in recovery, and more WHAT to do?
I hope you guys, will be able to help. The issue can be really annoying, and stuck me in "no rom update and no transfers of anything possible" situation.
Thank you beforehand
@bonbonboy
Try flashing the firmware through recovery from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603850663 then reboot device and send it to bootloader via command adb reboot bootloader
It works like a charm!
Mi logo back, adb commands run, usb transfers work and no more error in the device manager.
You saved my day :good::good::good: Thanks a lot !

Umidigi A7 Pro

Hello. I purchased an A7 Pro, as soon as it arrived it was not doing the updates automatically, so I chose to update with the Flash Tool. I installed this latest version and it was a success.
However, while I was using the device, it crashed, turned off by itself and did not turn on again. I tried to do the process of installing the rom again, but it does not install the preloader because it does not recognize the USB connection as "Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM", in addition to constantly connecting and disconnecting.
Can you help me?

Hi Kzwir,
Since you were able to take a screen capture on your computer of the SP flash tool, I'm assuming that you have figured out how to use the Flash tool. Did you follow the directions on the Umidigi site: https://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=16931 ?
On the A7 Pro can you boot into bootloader mode? (From Power Off, press power button and volume up button once in the selection screen press the volume up button until you highlight fastboot and then press the volume down button)
If you can get into fastboot/bootloader mode, I would (in an account with administrator privileges) 1. Try a different usb cable, 2. completely uninstall any drivers, reboot the computer and then plug the phone in again while in Fastboot mode and see if it recognizes the connection. 3. Try a different computer - (if you used this computer to flash the phone originally, I suspect that this isn't the issue).
Good luck!

Hi.
I used all the procedures indicated in the official forum, I managed to make the device recognized with the necessary port for formatting (Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM).
The only problem that persists and probably hinders my goal is the intermittent connection and disconnection of the device, not allowing Flash Tool to perform the installation.
In all cases, what happens in the image I posted occurs. It loads the red bar and then does not perform any other procedure.

With an intermittent connection, I would look at 1. a different cable and 1. a different USB port (like the ports on the motherboard vs the front ports on a desktop).
Good Luck!
