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?

Now its time to fix the hard brick.
Charge your phone for 30-40 minute. No problem if it doesn't show.
On your laptop or PC
Go to this site and download the stock firmware and mi 9 flash tool
And adb driver too
Then connect to PC
And do what ever mentioned there

Hi, thank you for your reply. I can't follow those directions because i can't put my phone in fastboot or recovery mode since it doesn't respond to any combinations of buttons.

No. No luck with my Mi9. And now ive bricked my Redmi note 8 pro.
Looking at the redmi note 8. Easier to flash an mod an not so costly to replace lol.
Not as power ful as other cells but has many roms already. Around $360NZD. the Redmi note 8 pro was $502 an my Mi9 origionally was $860.
I dont need a flagship. Just something good that I can change to suit myself.

Hi all,
I have a serious situation with my S I9000, I really need some help.
So I had jelly bean Cyanogenmod 10, It worked fine until one day I updated it, and then I tried to Update some apps using Google Play App but the update didn't finish and cause me lots of unworkable apps.
I rebooted my phone to recovery mode, I made a backup, and then tried to restore an old backup (before I updated Cyanogenmod) but then the phone didn't want to start, It powers up but stays at "Samsung galaxy S....." welcome screen forever.
I was not able to start in recovery mode, how ever the downloading mode worked, then I tried to flash android 2.3.6 with odin but it failed.
And now my phone won't power up and doesn't show anything, even the charging screen.
I know I really messed things up but I really need your assistant guys.
Thank you (and sorry for my weak English)
What did you flash through Odin?

It's probably a hard-brick (I had the same problem last week). There are two ways that can solve it.
First is with a USB Jig. You can buy one (are super cheap) or trying to construct one by yourself. Here are some posts of handmade USB Jigs:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331782
The second way is by taking your phone to the shop.
Hope it helps you!

Thank you, but I think that USB Jig doesn't work, cause the phone doesn't show anything at all : no downloading/recover mode and no battery charging screen.
I heard about JTAG.. do you have a tutorial for that ?
Thanks again.
JTAG i think is only used by professionals, so i don't think there is any guide about it
is it really i9000? or i9003?
as far as i know, flashing i9000 ROM into i9003 will hardbrick ur fone

You can not restore any pre-CM backup as it has different format. I had the same situation last week and learned now how to revive my i9000
It is just a soft brick probably, if you have download mode (check 3-buttons) let me know if it works, I will help you later then.

I solved the problem.
The phone was completely dead. downloading mode or recovery mode didn't work even the battery charge status wouldn't appear.
The solution was JTAG. it's complicated and used only by professionals as @TenKoX said.

Hi everyone,
I have received Oneplus 3T today. Rotted by instructions, all was perfectly OK. Tried to flash latest nightly of LineageOS, but got an Error 7, which means I have to flash experimental rom first. That is what I did. Battery was at 100% before I started. Only few minutes I noticed that screen is black. Phone does not react to what ever I do. I noticed that when I attach usb cable, the PC reacts to it. And when I hold power button, on pc I can hear "ding" which means "connected/disconnected".
How can I fix this?

Hello, first i want to apologize for my bad english , i am not an american citizen.
I recently bought the device Xiaomi Mi5 32GB 3GB RAM
The device arrived with the original global stock rom and i found some strange issues with it
The volume is very low after about week of using the device suddenly the volume decrease and when i am listening to music i need to raise the volume to max(and no, it is not my earphones, i try with different device and no problem)
The second problem is the touch sensor
Every time i plug in to the charger the touch sensitivity goes crazy and i cant even use the device, it happens also when i have low battery and usually hard reset solves the problem but only temporary and only when phone is not plugged in to charger, and yea i tried different chargers the problems stays with all chargers (3)
I tried upgrading and i tried reset all to stock and nothing
I dont want to switch to CmMod
I have no warranty
Any solutions?

Touch issue while charging is due to the charger.
When the charger is defected and sends out variable voltage , it causes the screen to go haywire ..
Try another charger...

I have 3 chargers, the problem is with them all, including the original xiaomi charger that came with the phone.
Also, the touch problems sometimes happens with no reason at all, or sometimes when low battery percentage, so i dont think using different charger will solve the problem

2. Had the same problem at work. in my case the socket itself was the problem. Just try another one.

2. What do you mean by 'socket' ? How do i fix this problem?
By socket i mean the holes in the wall where you plug your charger in.
About the rom be sure its not fake rom.
(whenever i get any new device i flash rom by myself. Especially if i got from China)
But it also can be a bug so check miui forums.
(I don't use miui)

No the socket is fine and the problem appears in different sockets too.
Btw you are using xiaomi device without miui?
What rom then? And how did u do it?
Ok so I can only say this: touch issues while charging usually means a problem with voltage so check : socket / charger / cable.
To install different rom u need to unlock your bootloader (google it).
Then install TWRP (Guide is in TWRP page)
And that's it you're ready to go.
I use "JDCTeam AOSP" for the moment.
It's smooth and stable and most important clean Android.
I think its better than LOS for now

The rom flashing is from the TWRP?
you copy the rom and install it through the twrp?
Do you switch rom alot?
And what is LOS?
Sorry for all the question as i said i am not developer or something I'm just regular xiaomi user
And btw, what about the volume problem? Can you advise any solution to it?
Yes the rom flash is from TWRP.
Just choose the rom you want and follow OP instructions.
LOS is the successor of CM. You should check development section.
The volume if its not rom related ir could be hardware related. The 3.5mm jack can be bent or something like that. Try other headphones

The volume problem is very popular on xiaomi mi5 and i saw a topic that the user solved the volume problem by flashing Chinese rom
What is the differences between Chinese and global rom?
And do i need to root my device in order to flash different rom such as official chinese or jdc?
Help anyone??
I was thinking about flashing to European rom or to LOS which is better?

SOLUTION?
Hey Guys,
so i was made the bootloader unlock based on this . Everything was ok, got the TWRP on it.
After that i was install this rom. Aaaand it's gone. Black screen. If i plug it to my PC, the HiSuite starts. If i try to put it to recovery, nothing. Turning on neither.
So how can i unbrick it? Found this but the link is dead.
Or if i bring it back to my provider, will they change it, or they will see the opened bootloader?
Thanks guys!

In your shoes, I would not bring it to any provider like you have it.
I would perform something like the following: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/huawei-p10-debrand-rebrand-update-guide-t3691013
There are tons of guides on how to unbrick P10 phones too. I could not recommend any specific one, but your phone seems to be far from dead, you just need to perform a full reflash/rebrand procedure. Best phone to rebrand to IMHO is VTR-L29, you gain an additional SIM with no counter effect.

Did you try with fastboot mode? You will need fastboot drivers installed in your computer, but if you can see the device, you should be able to flash a new recovery or whatever needed to start from scratch...

finally i was paid to funkyhuawei, and they made it working. it was 2 hours...

Hi,
I recently bought this phone knowing the touch was not responsive and just looking for any clues on where to start.
The screen works and using the side buttons can adjust volume (visible on screen) and bring up power menu but can't do much else since the touch is not working.
the phone has been factory reset so it loads into the MIUI 12 setup guide. I've tried linking it up with Mi PC suite with no luck. is this looking like a hardware failure or software maybe?
Also there is no damage to the screen
Thanks in advance
Lee
i think you will need to find xiaomi mi flash tool for your device and flash the stock firmware
you can download it here. I dont know much about that phone though so im only making suggestions.
Try to flash the whole MIUI firmware again.
Thanks for the help, I suspect it might be a firmware issue but had no luck with flashing using some tools so far but I'll try that link and see what happens
I've applied for the bootloader to be unlocked and waiting the 7 days for that, is there anything I can do in the meantime?
I've confirmed that the phone works and is not crashed as I plugged a mouse into it and am fully able to use the phone this way.
I tried to flash update via local but got an error that I cannot flash lower version.
Anything I'm missing?
