Red LED flashing 3 times?
Your battery is empty.
yes, flash 3 times, but if i connect the charger the LED still flashing RED, it´s normal?
EDIT: after 1 minute the LED stop flashing
EDIT 2: I can put in flashboot (green led) and fastboot (blue led) mode, but after 2/3 minutes my phone auto disconnect...
The charger not charging the phone, i will try one different charger, when you remove the battery ang put in directly on the charger...
If somebody have anyone ideia, i´m gratefully...
Sorry about the questions, i´m totally lost...
so sorry to hear about your problem.
i have an older sony ericsson phone.
red blinking light is not a good sign.
not charging when plugged in.
tried charging the battery itself, still did not work.
could be bricked already, try taking it to service center.
Before taking an expensive visit to the service...
Get Sony Mobile Update Service(link in my signature), install it and try Repair option on your phone, it will require to place your phone in flashmode(green LED).
What happened actually before turning off? Did the phone turn itself off or you did?
Hi,I think its just the battery broken.The phone did work since the battery was disscharged,its the battery for 99% sure.Dont buy new one,maybe some of your friends have same kind battery,or go to phone service and tell you want to check if its going to work,so they dont charge you nothing and you will see if its work.Hope I help you mate.

1st - Batteries don't break down like this.
2nd - Phone's LED works, so battery still has power inside.
3rd - I have discharged my phone's battery completely quite a lot of times, still works just great(never calibrated and will never do).

Unlocked bootloader, then SMUS will not work...
i´ll buy the battery charger and test the battery, but i accept sugestions...
EDIT: The problem is not battery, when I turn on the device, it vibrates but the screen stays black with no sign of response.
I can plug it in fastboot mode and ... flashmode
Any suggestions?

I think I've bricked my phone - can anyone please help?

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.

I've been reading that thread already. Which part of it are you referring to? The MiFlash tool does not see the phone when it is connected to laptop.

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.
Bro the thing is... I had d same problem with my htc phone . And u did somthng wrong like i did . Just put ur ohone in charge for the whole day . And in an hour or so the phone ll restart itself . But one thing m pretty sure is ur phone is not charged

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?

Strange problem with back cover Redmi Note 3 se

Hello,
I have problem with my phone. I bought it from some guy on internet. He told me it is broken. The problem is red light blinking when it is connected to computer or charger. I decided to make test point so I disassembled back cover. And then I turned on the phone successfuly and everything work fine. But when I place back cover again the problem returned. The miui freeze, restart and finally phone turn off. When I disassembled back cover again, phone wroks great. It seems to be some strange short circuit. Do you know what is the problem? (sorry for my poor english)
Regards
Jacek

Fingerprint works fine.
but unfortunetaly phone started freezing. I decided to flash again with miui 10 fastboot and MiFlash. let you know if it helped.
Ok I flashed phone by miflash tool ver 2018.5.28.0 but phone didin't start. So I tried to flash again but i heve error "ack count don't match" And as I remember I made one mistake. I left checked "clean all and lock" option in Mi flash. Is this a reason of this error?
I can boot to fastboot and by special method with fastboot I can go into edl mode. I can also go into (i think) recovery mode (Mi-recovery 3.0) with vol+ nad power. Then I see 3 options: reboot to system, wipe data and connect with MiAssistant.
I can't turn usb debugging becasue system doesn't start
Is there any solution to bring this phone to alive?

Mi A3 not booting in any mode, even no notification light on connecting charger

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...
