My desk looks exactly like yours so, lol. But I have an ideia, let the Mi 8 fully discharge, let it in fastboot screen for example. Make sure its fully discharged, try to power on to verify.
I think the deep flash cable work for Mi 8 if battery is unplugged, so what I mean is to cause this situation. When battery is fully discharged, it don't enter on charging screen, it take a while to power on. Maybe in this state (cable plugged, not charging sceeen), the deep flash cable can work.
My Mi 8 is still discharging...

Hey,
Any news on that solution ?
Thanks.

It works?

Mi Mix almost totally dead - is there life?

Ok, it's been a couple days since I posted on the Q&A about my Mi Mix suddenly not turning on after powering it down with close to a 100% battery. Now, for the first time since this happened I plugged it into my computer (Mac) and although the computer didn't recognize it as being attached the led light above the charging port is flashing red every half second. Any thoughts or ideas?

Looks like your device switched to QCOM 9008 Download mode.
It should be detectable via MiFlash; you will probably need to flash a fastboot rom with full factory reset.
But try the following first:
- disconnect from charging for 1 day
- charge it for a few hours
- hold on the power button for 2 minutes
I'm happy to report that my phone is now working again! I have no idea what happened but after charging it in the official charger and cable for a while it took a charge and changed green then powered up. Really hope it doesn't happen again though

Cool, probably battery percent froze so looking full when actually it was flat.
my own xiaomi wont start too
My Xiaomi Mi Mix showed low battery sign so I plugged it in to charge. The phone immediately went off. I pressed the power button to restart it, it showed the Xiaomi logo then immediately went off and since then (this was 2 days ago) it has not powered on.
Kindly note the following:
1. It didnt have water spilled on it
2. It didnt fall or have any mechanical damage
The only thing was, the battery was low, I plugged it in to charge and it went off and never came on again. I have used the same charger to charge other phones so I doubt if the charger is the source of the problem.
Kindly help, what is wrong with the phone?
thanks

Phone doesn't turn on anymore, hardware problem? [Xiaomi Redmi 4x]

Hello everyone,
I had a few problems with a phone and I'd like to hear a few opinions from you guys.
I bought a Redmi 4x online, out of the box it worked fine without any noticeable problems. I tried charging it with my computer and with a wall connector, everything was fine.
Then I let it charge overnight on the wall charger (phone was still on when I went to bed) and in the morning it was dead.
No more charging led, no signs of life while pressing the power button.
It was off the charger for a whole day after that, and when I tried booting it up, it was fine for a second, showing the boot logo, then it died again, this time showing a blue screen.
From that time, it never powered on again, and it still doesn't show any charging led.
What is funny though is that once I hook it up to my power bank, it clearly shows that it's drawing power.
I thought it could be a rom issue, problem is once I connect it to my computer, it doesn't show up in any tool I tried (xiaomi mi flasher) neither in device management in windows.
I opened it up and now it is sitting for a while with the battery disconnected, but I don't have any idea on how I could further diagnose it to find a way to fix it.
Should I just let it go or is there anything that I could try in your opinion?
Thank you for advices!
you can try going into fastboot/recovery and then assess your options depending on the outcome.

Try maybe flashing a custom rom, or even flash a custom recovery and check if the phone charges while in recovery mode so you know if the problem is with hardware or software.
Just unplug battery overnight, usually sorts this sort of thing out, while the back is off disconnect the port cable from motherboard insure it's clean and reconnect
I replaced my battery and it really was not that hard at all. Mom had a

Naa, just leave the battery unplugged overnight, will take awhile to start charging again but should be fine
Yes, same here. The phone just stops charging and as well starts discharging rapidly with the charger connected.
I am on the PIXEL rom currently.
As I had tried the RR ROM and the look and feel for the phone wasn't quite to my liking.
The phone charges fine when it shut down. But refuses to charge with any PC/brick/cable.
Also, the phone heats up hard at the general fingerprint scanner & Camera area. When this happens.
I have no other choice to shut down the phone and charge it and then use it. Whats can i provide for any DEV to check the problem?
Is it a kernel fault? Software? Hardware?
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Exact same thing is happening to my Mi Mix

Hi, I get it back to charging after doing a hard reset by plugging the charger to the phone and at the same time press and remain power button, the phone shut down and when i re-start again it keep charging. Try that
I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 and my phone was shut down when i completely discharged the battery. I tried the charging with original cable and adaptor but didn't charged, only seen battery icon. For just trying, I charged with a powerbank and ITS WORK. Firstly the powerbank light is going off within 5-10 second, I tried a few times reconnect the charge cable and booting my phone then the powerbank light wasn't off and my phone started normally charging.

Phone Won't Charge Unless I Restart

Hi,
I've been using my Redmi K20 Pro since November and I encountered a problem where my phone won't charge. I tried my backup charger and usb-c cable but it still didn't work. Once I restarted the phone it began charging again. Based on my testing once I unplug the charger I need to restart again to see the lightning icon charging indicator. I also noticed that the charging speed is very slow unlike how it used to. I am using xiaomi eu and I updated to the latest version thru the update app but still having the same result. Has anyone encountered this or have an idea on how to fix it? I see lots of similar issues with xiaomi phones but of different model on google but I can't find anything useful.
Thank you

Sounds like there's and issue with charging port and daughter board, if you've done a reinstall. Does the same thing happen when charging from a laptop or pc?

Ah okay, that's really strange, I was thinking it might be the port but if it works fine on USB then maybe not, and you've tried a completely different plug and cable aswell?
Do you use any battery charge limit apps?
If you are like me flashaholic, then sometimes with dirty flashing rom gets messed. Try flashing stock (fastboot rom) miui to teset everything to stock and then see if it charges normally. If not there could be hardware issue
With regards to the replies above..
I've only flashed once to Xiaomi EU. I've also tried a different usb-c cable
I notice that when I plug my phone to my laptop, it keeps getting disconnected and reconnected for any small movements of the cable
Sometimes I get fast charging when I perform a restart so it starts to charge
I don't use any battery apps or any cleaner apps

Sounds like the charging port has an issue, the fact if it is connecting disconnecting from movement of cable points to it I reckon
Hello,
Have you solved your problem? I have the same insue and I can't solve it, the last option was to flash the last oficial global rom (fastboot methdo), but it didn't solve it ...
Thank you.

So, I have this issue on my another phone poco f1 what I did was clean the charging port with some stick and cotton. Basically its a charging port issue, you have to clean the port or take a service to clean port completely or change port this issue will be solved

Hello
I have the same issue with my two phones MI 9 T PRO, never used USB C before, even 3.5mm jack, i have the error message on the notification and i cannot remove it: "Can't play audio through adapter. Use digital earphones or earphones with 3.5mm plug". when i plug my charger into my phone the fast charge is displayed but it won't charge, The only way to charge my phone is to reboot it and it's charge like there is no problem! but the error message is still on notification but charge with fast charge! I bought my phones march 2020, and the issue appeared since sept - oct. I have the latest update MIUI 12.0.3.
I facing same problem on my mi9tpro with global miui12 what's going on guys how to fix the problem?
Hey guys, I think I have the answer!
Its all about the MIUI optimization, you just have to go into developer options, search for MIUI optimization, turn it off, restart, turn it on and restart again. Everything should go well after this! I hope all of you end with this headache!

Hello team!
I was facing the same problem on a Redmi 3S Pro, and decided to come by and let u guys know my handling of this.
My phone has quiet some years of usage right now and its a bit beaten, but still runs great.
Out of nowhere it decided to not charge anymore, and I noticed it would charge with device off or after a plugged restart.
It decided to work again after i entered fast boot (unplugged) and exited fastboot back into system then plugging.
Not entirely sure this fixed it, but looks like it.
Some notes:
I was trying a couple things like trying to enter safe mode and combinations of plugged/unplugged restarts
I did not factory reset
I did not let it end the fastboot loading (force rebooted somewhere in the middle of loading fastboot)
To fastboot, power off the device, then press power button and down volume
If u dont know what u doing, DO NOT go sticking metals into your usb port to clean it, cause if it charges when off, this is NOT dirt problem. Be advised..
I was able to reproduce the issue (sadly) after playing with normal reboot/fastboot then reboot , but then i tried reproducing the fix:
Unplug and turn off device
Turn on to fastboot (down volume + power)
Now, first time, after entered fastboot screen, i rebooted and it did not work, then i tried again but i had to let it run a bit longer on fastboot screen then reboot for it to work
I know the fastboot performs some system checks while loading, but i don't have much time to keep digging this, maybe another day i'll come back with more info.
I'm guessing its system issue, not hardware (at least in my case).
But now, charging is working even after normal reboots for me, so i think i'm onto something =]
Hope this can be useful to someone.
Happy hacking!
Cheers
Hello everyone , I had the same issue and fixed it .
My solution was to change the usb-c port (daughter board). everything works as its supposed now.
I looked everywhere for software issues , flashed many different roms to no avail.
There was only one rom that tipped me that there was a problem on usb c port though, ita pixel experience rom, it showed a persistent notification that there was something plugged in the usbc when there was nothing there.
once I replaced my port (cost only 14$ for original with fast charging IC) ,and upon inspection of my replaced board under microscope , the last pin on the left in the usb C port was bent in a way that was impossible to see with a naked eye, now I bought a usb c port and soldered it back to my original daughter board and I keep it as spare one.
Hope this will save you your battery and your time.
(if you keep using like this and have to restart everytime for a charge , it will eventually fail , better replace it when you have time , than your phone going off when you most need it)

Question Redmi Note 11 4G (Global) won't charge and turn on after a update try

Hello,
My costumer tried to update his Redmi Note 11 from 13.0.9 to 13.0.12 rom via Update App, I don't know if he made something wrong, but now the phone won't charge and not turning on.
When I put the charging cable, the battery symbol blink some times but nothing happens. I'm sending a video that shows it.
I can't get into fastboot mode and when I plug it on PC nothing happens, only the battery symbol blinks and Windows not recognize the phone
Can this phone be saved?
Thank for all help in advance.

My guess is that they tried to update when the battery was so discharged, then the update didn't finish correctly, still seems no battery.
When you charge the battery again, try to enter to recovery mode and do a factory reset, try to boot.
To enter to fastboot mode you can, either press volume down + PWR button, or pressing volume down and at same time, connect to your PC, but not much you can do through it, if the bootloader is locked, and plus, the user didn´t start the process to unlock it.

I charged the phone for 24 hours and it is the same as it appears in the video. It didn't charge and it won't turn on. Only the battery symbol appears.
I can't get into recovery mode or fastboot mode.
I tried to connect it to the PC holding Volume- but nothing happens, the same battery symbol appears
Bootloader is locked.

Well, you don't need to charge for 24 hours, it seems to me that something in the hardware is damaged or was disconnected, like the charging flex connector, it could be an internal error, you should check it with the help of a technician, the symbol shows no charge at all. After you solve it, at hardware level, then you should try some tips at software level.

Hello brother. Im facing the same exact issue. did you fix the phone. Any way to fix it?
Today my phone has fully discharged and I have the exact same issue.
Impossible to boot and I cannot charge it, as it results as the blinking of the battery icon...
On my side, if I plug the USB-C, it does not even says it charges / but it vibrates each ~5sec with the same (empty) battery icon...

hi..i have already posted this on a thread in the morning. i have same exact issue.
I dropped the email to xiaomi and they after lot of back and forth emails, and trying everything out, they asked me to visit a service center. apparently after doing some research the only way to fix it is by opening the phone and disconnecting the battery and connecting it again.
My phone was less than a month old and ordered from amazon. they are going to accept the return request luckily.
I know guys, no one likes to disassemble a device or take it to a repair service center, but the issue is clearly related to a hardware fault, i.e. battery, charge flex connector or whatever they are called.

I had the same issue, wouldn't boot or display anything, so I took the phone (spesn) to a service center.
The technician told me all he did to repair the phone was a software upgrade... No problems since then, it probably can be done at home somehow...

It seems a hardware issue, but...
Some bad flashing cycle can cause the display not "turning on" at all, but really, it's just not showing a thing, to cover and check this possibility, you should flash a different firmware, just check out, the state your device gets connected, and try flashing a firmware.
For everyone who has this problem, remember that with locked bootloader it is impossible to flash the official rom by miflash.
The only alternative you have at the moment is to try to start the phone in EDL mode and that means opening the phone and seeing how to do the test point.
IF the pc recognizes it, they are in luck and it can be recovered, but due to xiaomi policies, only some people have accounts authorized to flash by EDL and charge for the service, many do it remotely and are found on telegram.
All the lot of issues, users are reporting on this device, they are realizing that Xiaomi is forcing them all to unlock the bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader may be the fastest and cheapest way to escape from an eventual disastrous scenario.
I have the same issue with my Redmi Note 11, I successfully update it, I have 3 other chargers and cables I try all possible methods to eliminate possibilities even check type-c port but phone not charging after mini 13.0.12 update. How we gonna have fix this or is the are a plan from xiaomi to have solution?
