[HELP] Bricked Redmi Note 4 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hi! I think I hard bricked my Redmi Note 4. I tried to install Lineage OS 16, unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP. However, after installing the Lineage OS it keept boot looping. I did all the procedure of wiping davilk, data, cache and system, then went to install and I added this packages: Lineage OS 16, Gapps, Lineage SU addon, unlock_bootloader ZIP, Lazyflasher and Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt.
After flashing it just turned off and now I cannot turn it on. I held power button for 5 minues, nothing. Can't enter fastboot, screen doesnt turn on at all. When I plug it to charger it blinks red notification light. When I connect it to the PC I hear the Windows 10 notification sound but Windows says it cannot recognize the device.
I'm desperate, I think I've tried everything. Please HELP!

If you have the Snapdragon version, try to put it in EDL mode (entering it with the test points, you have to remove the back cover) and reflash an official rom with Mi Flasher. Then you go from the beggining in order to install your custom rom.

I tried that but I can not make it to short the circuits. I followed this inctruction https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/help/xrn4-sd-4-gb-64gb-black-screen-flash-t3761858 but I can't get anything other than "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E". Idk if I need a special kind of metal to short it or maybe the pins are shown incorrectly. I have the Snapdragon version.

The pins shown are correct. Try with sharp scissors or a tiny plier. An option is a cable with solid core.. If you get "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E" you are ready to go to Mi Flash, there is no problem that "9008" does not show up..

you get it imidiatelly or at the end? If you get it at the end, try to ignore it and start the phone.. Otherwise try changing at the right bottom of mi flasher to "clean all" and try again. Also i found something here at the k20 threads, you uncheck the check point from the condifuration of the mi flash..

Cleaning the checkpoint thing worked and MiFlash said the flash was successful, but the phone still doesn't turn on or give any signs of being alive. I guess the only hope now is to give it to repair when the whole covid thing ends. Anyways, thanks for helping me.
