Xiaomi Redemi 3s Pro - hard brick (no power led, no turning on)

Hello
While flashing in Miflash i get some error. After that my MI is brick. When I plugin it to PC is discoverd by driver ive used to access with Miflash but looks like im unable to get into fastboot mode so Miflash dont see phone at all.. I saw that there is an option to connect some pins at motherbord to "froce" phone into this mode but i couldnt find any information about it for that exact model.
Do anybody can share with me any information how i can solve that problem? Maybe there is way to fix it without opening the phone? Or if opening is the only way, any pics or shema what exacly i should connect and in which order to force phone into fastboot?
Pls help. Its brand new phone

Go to
En.miui.com/thread-245347-1-1.html
There are instructions there.
Like u mentioned, connecting the pins is the only one I know of.
There is a video there to for help. See if that works.
I hope u get it up and running coz I know how it feels to hard brick a new phone.

Yes. Im exactly looking for something like this one but that tutorial is for Note 3 Pro.. and i have s3 Pro. Totally different phone and motherboard. Any idea where i can find information for my phone? Dont wanna smoke it up while connecting wrong pins. Two days of hard research gave me nothing.

Are you sure it is a 3s pro? Or 3s prime?
Also how did u manage to hard brick it?

I dont know if this will help but just check the below link. This usually helps in case your partition is gone and that is the reason for no fastboot.

3. In Device Manager with Qualcome drivers i can see only Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E.
3a. I cant see any "sd" drive or other "memory".
4. Ive tryed to unplug battery and after that nothing changed in Device Manager
5. I saw http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/urgent-help-qualcomm-hs-usb-diagnostics-t3382169 but it wont work for me couse i cannot switch to fastboot and every single option there ask for it.
So thats how i ****ed up my phone.. any sugestions?

Try the solution by @rajumack07 before doing something with the hardware. Fixing your bootloader should get you up and running.

I faced a similar scenario with my other phones. MI3 and Micromax Canvas 2. And I don't fear them any more. So i wish you the best and let us know when it is working

Have you opened the phone?
If yes, try the steps in this to get to Emergency Download mode.
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-unbrick-redmi-note-3-snapdragon-best-solution/
If you havent opened the phone, just take it to the service center. It will be lame but easier.
I wish I had that phone with me. It would have been easier with Screen shots and pictures.

Yup its open but as i said its NOT Note 3.. its 3s.. there is different motherboard. And in my country there is no any Xiaomi service.

I KNOW I KNOW. I know that you have a 3s and not 3. I was giving the link coz the steps are almost the same for alsmost all Qualcomm devices.
I believe 3s has a Qualcomm processor right?
It would be better if you can attach some pictures of the motherboard and phone in the OP.
The reason I gave that link is that you know what to do and Just improvise!
Basically (carefully) remove the pins for battery and USB. Find them and follow the process. See if it works.

I don't think following the process of entering 9008 by cables is the only one. Please try with the link I had posted. If the diagnostic mode what you are saying also has "9008" along with it, then you're in download mode and you can proceed using the link I had posted or by @Deathonator. But if it's in 9006 mode, then you will have to make it to 9008, the steps are in the same link in my above post.

If you know about the testpoint pin or edl mode, i guess you are in big trouble and doing a lot of research about it now or even talked to those guys who can remote in to your pc and unbrick your device using TeamViewer
My advice is dont waste your time, just find a way to send it back to China to get it fix.
Nobody have any clues about this testpoint pin and PiLyTam is BS, testpoint pin on all other Xiaomi model will be close together, HTF that this model can be so far away that you cant even use tweezer to short it?
BTW, if your phone is in below condition, not just one but all combined. Trust me, dont waste your time
- your phone is in bootloop and your phone have no OS installed because you have already delete it with TWRP
- bootloader is locked
- you have using that sh1tty xiaomi flashtool and haven't noticed that "flash and lock" was selected by default
Oh and by the way, welcome to the sh1tty group of being xiaomi's customers, dont get me wrong the phone is great but if you are not in China and using "grey products" you are on your own

Possibly Wrong Pins
I believe the pins are the wrong pins. I've been trying different methods of entering EDL mode on my own bricked Mi 9 (locked bootloader + the system is destroyed) and cannot enter EDL mode no matter what I try. Has anyone been successful?

Have a look here for test point. You will need to read it properly saying something about serious problems later. Not sure if he is talking about the battery or the cable that hides the pins to be disconnected.

**Continue at your own risk**
You'll have to detach battery cable first before attempting to circuit the 2 testpoints as shown on the picture. Don't forget !
In order to reach the 2 points you'll have to disconnect the ribbon cable as shown in the video. Then connect the 2 points (with a clip or anything that can connect both) and reconnect the ribbon cable again (keep holding the 2 points).
That would be it

Help me hard brick on my k20 pro

When trying to change the rom of my k20 pro, I ended up leaving the "Cleam all and lock" option checked, which resulted in the device brick, tried to run the EDL and when passing the Chinese rom, the device didn't turn on, I left "Cleam All "checked and the device would not even turn on was only recognized via EDL again, this time should I block the bootloader?

help about Deep flash cable

Hello good day, I bricked my K20 Pro by flashing the Mi 9T Pro ROM on the phone with clean all + lock method unintentionally, now my phone has locked bootloader and has an error that MIUI version couldnt be installed on this device, does the dewp flash cable work to enter EDL Mode or do I need to open back pannel and short JTAG pins ?
Pls inform me. Thanks!

Try an old version of Mi Unlock to unlock the bootloader. If that doesn’t work, wait for 5 days and try again and it should allow you to unlock.

I dont have my phone linked with that MIUI Account because the vendor sold it with pre unlocked bootloader and with official global ROM. Does old mi unlock support non linked accounts?

It is worth a try. Yes the unlock is linked to the account but i have seen people also unlocking it without binding the account. EDL flashing isn’t that easy because it needs an Authorized EDL Account to be able to flash the firmware. You can’t just put the device in EDL and carry on with the flash. So its worth a try rather than just sitting helpless.
Make a new MI account if you don’t have it till now. Hook your device and put it in fastboot mode and try the unlock with the tool. You might get an unlock instantaneously or for worst it might ask you to wait for 168hrs before you can unlock.

You will probably need too open the back panel to enter EDL mode, then you'll need someone with an authorised account to flash for you. A little bit of digging on these forums and you'll see many others have done this. There's a Russian guy with an authorised account, you'll find his contact details easily in the posts about this.
You'll need to pay him about $20 and you'll need to give him remote control access to your PC in order to flash an official ROM for you.

Do you have access to a hairdryer? That seems to be a common tool people have used. You might need to risk something sharp to get the first opening, but then something like a credit card could be used to pry it open more. There are a couple of posts on how others have done this without proper phone repair tools.

Hard Bricked Mi9 Global

So have I done something that apparently no one else has on XDA.
Hard bricked my Mi9?
I have heard that you cannot go back from Miui 11 to Miui 10 on China based models or try an install a rom with a locked bootloader.
None of those things are the case here as this is a global Mi9 purchased within New Zealand.
None of the usual tricks work. No battery light black screen no input response from buttons.
Appears like a total hard brick an I have no idea why. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with hard bricked Mi9s that have bricked for no reason after I did standard things an the bootloader was unlocked?

what about edl ? do you already try it?

Connect the charger, hold all the buttons (except the AI one), until you feel the phone vibrate or at least see the battery charging LED blink.
Don't let go after 5-10 seconds, but keep holding for 30+ seconds. See if anything happens.

a while ago i bricked my mi9se (because of lazyiness while flashing wrong android rom version with a wrong twrp without changing twrp version before).
so fastboot or recovery not worked. EDL mode was only enterable with contact/test point method -> opening back, connect the two points, connect usb cable. (you have to look on youtube for the right contact points for mi9).
so i entered EDL mode, but:
you have to have a authorized xiaomi account to flash something, and a special xiaomi tool to do that. no chance to skip that. believe me.
on older xiaomi devices you maybe can flash something on your own in edl mode. not so on newer devices like the mi9se, and presumably also on mi9.
you have to have your phones back removed, and look for somebody on the internet with a authorized xiaomi account. there are some ppl out there, which maybe can unbrick your phone in EDL mode via teamviewer for a charge around 15 to 25 bucks.

When you connect the phone to the PC , go to control panel and then under device manager, Com ports you should see Port 9008. if so you are in EDL mode. As long as your phone is bound to you ( you have the needed credentials to sign into MiCloud, you should be able to restore your phone.)
I do not have the mi9 Yet. I have a Mi8 and I am considering a Mi9
Try flashing the global fastboot rom for your device.
IMPORTANT >>>>>>> It must be a fastboot images rom and not a regular recovery rom<<<<<<
Use google for the absolute latest build, I spent 30 seconds just now and found this page which as it linked : https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/download-official-miui-roms-for-xiaomi-mi-9/ You want/NEED the one called " 11.0.3.0 QFAMIXM | Fastboot | Download"
Unpack Rom twice on your desktop, ( Its double compressed, must be unpacked twice.)
Open folder and you will see a folder that is called Images and a series of batch files.
With phone connected and in EDL or fastboot , double click "flashall.bat" Do not choose the file that asks to lock the bootloader , if it exists) This batch file will restore every single partition from the folder called images.
When it is finished the phone will reboot, sign into your wifi, and then Mi Cloud account and begin setup.
Be sure to make a Twrp backup and save it to your desktop.
You are welcome, enjoy your phone.
PS: if this fails you may need to buy a deep flash cable from Amazon, they cost $6 to $20
https://www.amazon.com/Flash-Cable-xiaomi-Models-Engineering/dp/B06ZYG46VZ Another option is using a program called QPST
If this helped you, you are welcome to buy me a beer,via my paypal. If you can afford to do so.

Tried button pushing advice an no luck. Will try this but am pretty sure surgery is probably my best option.
Thanks for trying to help. 11.0.3.0 is an excellent rom an I've had success several times with soft bricks as it bricked in a bootloader loop with the little Xiaomi cartoon thingy.
I might try your suggestion with both my miflash set up an my miflashpro set up ?

I have heard that you cannot go back from Miui 11 to Miui 10 on China based models or try an install a rom with a locked bootloader.
None of those things are the case here as this is a global Mi9 purchased within New Zealand.
None of the usual tricks work. No battery light black screen no input response from buttons.
Appears like a total hard brick an I have no idea why. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with hard bricked Mi9s that have bricked for no reason after I did standard things an the bootloader was unlocked?

I read something a bit before this. I am in the same spot some of you guys are in. Apparently they disabled edl authentication. . . However I am still searching around.
