Redmi note 3 dead, red led blinking - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone.
Recently my redmi note 3 turned off and cant turn on again. When im putting on charge or plugging in pc it starting to blink red led. PC recognizes is as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Tried to flash via Miflash tool and QPST, the flashing was successfull in both programmes, but when im tryin to turn on there is no result. I've tried deep flash cable and test point, no success. Does this mean some hardware damage?

omg, I'm experiencing the same today. Ieft my phone on last night. This morning I picked it up and it didn't unlock. blinking red led when I press or hold the power button or plug it into the charger.
Any workaround??

Damn I feel lucky:laugh:
This is what happend. I connected the phone to pc to check different fixes provided on different threads. I was trying to bring up the device on device manager (since it didn't). After a minute, it turned on with the charging icon showing %1. It was simply out of charge lol.

[Q] Overheating problem

a few days ago, I installed the CM9.1 v6 from scritch's thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987130
at first, i used the kernel v5 and it was working fine. 3 days ago, i downloaded and flashed the v6 kernel. 2 days ago, I left my phone charging at 47% for an hour or so, when i came back, i saw a black screen and the screen as well as battery was extremely hot(around 35-40 degrees). I tried switching it on but it showed only the kernel logo 'X10 never dies' and then again black screen after flashing blue led 3 times. I waited for 5 minutes. again it got extremely hot. I pulled out the battery and kept it aside for 5 minutes to cool down. after that i tried several times to switch it on but every time i got the same problem and i had to remove the battery to cool it down. at night, i kept the battery out from the phone only. I thought it would work in the morning. But yesterday morning I couldn't even switch it on. I connected it to the charger(an original SE charger with original USB cable). After connecting to the charger also, it heated up instantly but there was no display on the screen and it wasn't charging. I have been trying to charge it since yesterday(using charger and connecting with pc also) but it gets EXTREMELY HOT every time without charging or switching on. Please help me!
What should I do???

the phone is neither switching on nor charging.....I cannot connect it to computer also.....I cant put it in flash mode for connecting to flashtool....nothing is happening except it starts heating gradually after connecting to charger.....((
Tips to connect your phone in flashmode if there is no green light when you are trying to connect it to flashtool:
1. Press back button while plugging it into your computer USB port.
2. Do not release back button and press power button once while you are pressing back button.
3. Green LED light should appear.
4. Release back button when your phone is detected in flashtool.
(MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED)

I charged the battery fully using an external battery charger. When i connect it to flashtool, the green led glows but as soon as i select the file to flash, the led comes off and it starts heating again. I tried using Sony Update Service also to repair it, but as I click on next after connecting it, the same happens, green led goes off and it starts heating up.
Please SOMEBODY help me!!!!
I downloaded the Stock firmware from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749426
I downloaded the India Generic Kit 1237-0692. I tried flashing it through flashtool but between 14-15%, the flash mode just goes off and the phone gets disconnected. Now, the condition is worse than before. Earlier, I was able to switch the phone on and see the 'Xperia Never Dies' screen from scritch's kernel. But now, nothing is there. Everytime I try to flash generic firmware either thru flashtool or SEUS, the green led goes off and it gets disconnected.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME FIX MY PHONE. I HAVE NO OTHER PHONE TO USE.
I dont really understand what your problem is

You should select the FTF file first then you can connect your phone when the flashtool ask you to connect your phone...
your steps are wrong... the same thing goes to me too when i connect the phone before i select my desired firmware file...
please attach your flashtool log
Here are some suggestions my friends note had a similar problem:
1.Try using a new battery maybe the battery fails as it spoilt and can't handle strain(my friend had this problem)
2.Since your phone won't do anything u can try go to a store and say I don't know what happened and ask for help
3.Did you try entering recovery and flashing a Rom or nandroid backup. Your question is not very clear.
Please let us all know what u did to solve the issue.

[Q] HTC One bricked? Won't turn on, no lights, no hboot

Hey all, I have a T-Mobile HTC One (US) that is fully stock and untouched that will not turn on nor go into the HBOOT screen. I've had to do the Power+VolumeDown boot process a few times before and it has worked but no such luck this time. It was working perfectly fine yesterday, had about an 85% charge, I saw my notification light blinking and went to activate the screen via the power button and it didn't come on. Notification continued flashing. I attempted the Power+VolumeDown and the home and back screens flashed too, but no matter what, the screen never came back. Eventually all flashing stopped and it never returned.
Plugging it into an outlet does nothing; the power light never comes on. Holding it under a light and Power+VolumeDown or just Power does nothing. When I plug it into a Windows PC via USB, it'll eventually show as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). I tried the RUU installer in Windows but it never detected the phone (USB error 170). I'm on an Ubuntu 12.04 Live USB right now and it shows up as Bus 003 Device 087: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode) but when I attempt to use brickdetect.sh from here, it doesn't detect anything. I can't find any other solutions.
Am I S.O.L.?

Phone wont turn on

Hello Guy,
I had kept My RN3 pro con charge last night and when I woke up, It was really hot and switched off. I tried to boot it up but no response. Tried to plug it in to the wall charger and notification LED started to blink. Tried to put it to fastboot mode but no success. Now when I am hooking it to PC no response. When I am hooking upto wall charger top left side is getting really hot on the back side.
What shall I do?
Thanks in advanced

Try to go to fastboot, if it vibrates then display is dead.

And if it doesn't, better go to service centre, some circuit must have fired

As you see I have already mentioned about the fastboot. Went to service center and they say it is officially dead and mother board needs to be replaced.

RN3P Wont turn on

Hello.
I had my smartphone on 30-40% of battery and i locked the screen. After a while i tried to unlock the device but seems like it was turned off so i tried to start the device again and it wont boot, cant boot recovery or anything i tried almost everything. If i charge the phone the led starts to blink red but after a while it stopped and there is no light right now, although it will flash red light if i try to turn the device on while its charging.
Please help!! I just bought the phone like 3 weeks ago
It could be a hardware fault, and so it's a warranty case.
But before: try an other charger. Let it plugged it at least half hour. Press and keep power button at least 30 seconds. If it doesn't start then it's a hardware fault. It happens...
Seems like its dead. Tried that, also i let the phone charging all night, still nothing. No more red light unless i press the power button for a while.
Try to connect to PC. Check what it shows in device manager.

Ye, i tried that and seems like its dead. Funny that this happen just 1 day after i update to official build of Miui8.

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?
