First of all, i have read some similar threads about this, and all advise diffrent solution besides the hardware mod, I have tried for 2 days all methods in Miui forums and none have worked for me except the hardware method.
My Device: Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro / SD version.
State:
-would only show "Mi" logo when powered on.
-Would enter only Fastboot.
- No EDL mode
- No recovery
-bootloader locked
-In this state, you can't flash absolutely nothing with any software. (from fastboot).
Requirements:
- windows 7/ windows 10 x64 edition.
- ONLY LATEST version of miflash, from 2016 onward, so it has the required drivers and methods to work with the phone. (I have tried with older versions and it did not work, i thought there was no hope for my phone).
- one hard bricked Redmi Note 3 Pro
- any fersion of Stable FASTBOOT OFFICIAL rom. (.tgz extension) - I personally used kenzo_global_images_V7.2.3.0.LHOMIDA_20160129.0000.14_5.1_global_c85ba6c524.tgz
- medium disassembly skills,
- a lot of patience,
- minimum set of tools (one small cross screwdriver, 1-2 strong finger nails, good eyesight).
- one microusb cable
HOW TO:
1. uninstall all drivers and software related to the Xiaomi phone. (I ended up reinstalling windows 7 just to be sure all was gone - that is how desperate I became). To be sure this is done correctly, with the phone turned off, connect it to the computer.
Go into device manager, search in com ports, or wherever any drivers are installed for the phone, and uninstall all of them, ticking remove driver files also.
after doing this, hit refresh, and see if any drivers get installed again.
Repeat until there are no drivers installed, and the device will be without a driver.
2. Disconnect the phone and RESTART WINDOWS
3. Disable driver signature verification/enforcement:
a. in windows 7, this is easy: restart windows, hit f8 until a menu pops up where you can choose disable driver signature verification/enforcement.
b. in windows 10, it is a little bit longer, but: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/ - Be careful, when choosing the option in the last menu, use F... keys, not number keys.
4. while in windows, in the bottom right corner, there should be a message saying "test mode"
5. install ONLY the LATEST VERSION of Miflash! you may get some messages about driver installation (2 times), allow installation!
6. RESTART WINDOWS
7. Prepare the phone!: I followed the video here, even I did not understand the language: http://choimobile.vn/threads/video-...o-snapdragon-650-fix-download-mode-edl.65098/
- First, I used my nail to open the phone up, just like in the video. It is great that the screen is not glued to the body, there are only some clips holding it in place!
- after opening the cover please be careful - there is a cable connecting the case to the mainboard - the fingerprint sensor.
- after this, unscrew the 7 or 8 screws as in the video.
- unlock the cables as in the video - please be sure not to disconnect all the cables.
- now, first get the antenna plastic cover outside of the way.
- after disconnecting the camera module, I would personally advise you to get the camera out of the way first, as there is a piece of foil glued between the mainboard and the underneath of the camera module (on the display)
- with great care, rise the Mainboard from the display.
- to have better access to the testpoint pins, I turned the Mainboard over the battery.
- now, connect the microusb cable to the phone.
8. connect the phone to the computer.
9. go into device manager and check if there are any devices installed, there should be under ports.... a device called Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E.
10. Now comes the tricky part, switching the phone to EDL mode (emercency download)
look on the back of the motherboard of the phone to connect the 2 testpoint pins as in the video. You can use anything to do this. a metal wire, a small scissors, an untied paperclip... You will have to do this while device manager is opened, as you must check it when the driver changes to "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008".
Please be careful when trying to connect the 2 pins not to touch any metal housing, ans this will restart the device each time.
Now, try and try and try until the driver changes to "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008".
11. unzip the rom using 7 zip to a destination of your choosing. I advise as short destination as possible and no spaces used in the folder naming. I unpacked it in C:\rom\
12. Open Miflash
13. As per other many many instructions:
a. click browse - select the folder where you unpacked the rom (for me, c:\rom\)
b. click the arrow next to brows button and select advanced.
c. in the first field, navigate to the folder where the rom was unpacked and select flashall.bat
d. in the third field select prog_emmc_firehose_8976_ddr.mbn from the "images"folder in the folder whre he rom was extracted
e. field 7: rawprogram0.xml and field8: patch0.xml
f. Hit the Refresh button, the device should appear as a com port in the white field of Miflash.
g. just to be sure, tick also "flash all" in the bottom of miflash.
14. Hit the Flash button on Miflash and this should be the last step before powering up your revived Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
This is what I learned in the past 2-3 days.
Different errors I got during the learning process and what i did to avoid them:
- different problems with drivers not installing correctly or showing different device names - just use the method i pointed out in the beginning to uninstall any driver previously installed on the computer, with the refresh in device manager and than uninstalling all.
- "end of package" error at second 2 while flashing in Miflash - you are using an older or an unsupported version of miflash, just use the latest one.
- not being able to flash anything while in fastboot - if you have a locked bootloader, on redmi note 3 snapdragon version, you simply won't be able to flash anything. end of story. this is the whole purpose of having a locked bootloader.
- trying to go into EDL mode using fastboot comand "fastboot oem eld" - this will not work for a really bricked device as was mine. the only solution is to go through the tespoint pin connection.
i wonder if there's a way not to make trwp locked in the recovery partition, so if someone flashes a factory rom without precaution, twrp will simply get overwritten by factory recovery. Wouldn't that prevent these hard bricks?
btw, nice guide
Please move the thread into guides/tutorial section.
Well, mine was bricked too 2 days ago... even I already unlock the bootloader using the official way.
It happened because I'm on AOSP and I flash Xiaomi.EU ROM from TWRP.
'MI' Logo flashed twice then the phone turns off itself.
It can't boot, can't enter EDL mode. I just can go into fastboot mode. But nothing can be done there because it always says 'device is locked'.
'fastboot oem device-info' also says the phone is on locked state.
Dunno why this happen, I think its because I play with the unlock bootloader toggle on previous MIUI and AOSP ROM.
After countless of times trying to get into EDL, I give up.
Device manager always show "QCom HS-USB Diagnostic 900E" instead of "QCom HS-USB QLoader 9008"
Finally I try the official Mi Unlock software, re-unlock success and BAM... Phone boots again into system. lol...
This makes me think the bricked problem can prevented/solved to by:
- At least bind a Xiaomi Account to your phone once when using official ROM (recommended China Dev ROM)
- Use that account to apply for the unlock, and when you got the phone bricked/relocked, you can re-unlock it using official way to revive the phone
Now is possible unbrick without disassembly:

please read through all the thread, don't just throw in a link. the method mentioned by you will not work on some bricked devices, including mine. this did not work for me, so I ended up disassembling the phone.

I also applied for an unlock code, but this takes up to 15 days, and I have the phone for only 3 days . I could not wait for the code, I had to do something to revive it.

I doubt they will have much variance from xiaomi phone to phone to make it easy for factory / repair centers to fix many models... (I could be wrong though), other brands are probably different.
Well you can enter edl mode from fastboot via this simple tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and.../guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292
And then you can flash any miui .tgz based rom and resurrect.
I hard bricked my Device last night and resurrected
PS : you must have the MiPcSuit installed

Quick addition: if you're using Virtual Box, like me (on a mac), you need to enable USB 2.0 on the virtual machine. On Virtual Box, this means you have to add an extension pack. This might save you 48hrs, like it cost me
Ok guys here is the step by step even for noobs how to unbrick Xiaomi Mi Max (helium).
If you have access to fastboot jump to step 11
Requirements :
* MiFlash Beta :Download Here
* MiFlash 20151028 : Download Here
* Global Fastboot Rom : Download Here
* Xiaomi Qualcomm Drivers
* Screw and tools.
* Paper clip or cable
* For sure Usb Cable.
Now if you all ready lets continue repair. First of all you need to open back cover.
1) Open Back cover and disconnect fingerprint sensor and battery. Dont connect battery till you finish whole process. (How to disassemble video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMG04GqVU_0&t=64s)
2) Make a paper clip to setup short circuit in your mainboard. Here are the testpoints. https://s15.postimg.org/s0j0qhq3v/Xiaomi_Max_Test_Points.png
3) Ok here is the hardest and trickiest one. While you are holding paper clip or cable with those testpoint you need to connect phone to pc. My suggestion 1st connect usb cable to phone then make short circuit then connect to pc.
* One more time you need to connect phone to pc while those two testpoints connected to eachother with a paperclip or a cable.
4) Here is the second tricky part. Unzip rom file. Important part is the name of folder. Please try to make it as short as possible.
Ex : C:\mimax\
So after extraction your folder will looks like this : http://oi63.tinypic.com/334rr11.jpg
5) You need to install both MiFlash versions. They are 2 different software so you shouldnt see any errors like "it is already installed".
6) Go To C:\XiaoMi\XiaoMiFlash and run XiaoMiFlash.exe as an administrator. Click browse and choose your rom folder. NOT IMAGES FOLDER ROM FOLDER !!!! ( Ex : C:\mimax)
7) Click "refresh" you will see COM port and click "flash" If you dont see any COM port here first check if you installed drivers correctly. If drivers are installed correct please go back to step 3 and try again.
8) Install will start and continue and %99 possibly it will stop in the middle You will receive Max buffer 256 error. No worries just keep calm and take deep breath. Go to next step
9) Disconnect usb cable from pc and phone. Reconnect battery. Now voila phone will ready to work BUT NOT READY TO WORK FLAWLESS. So now put your phone to fastboot mode. Yes you read correct now your phone will be in fastboot mode even it could be ready to use but just wait for next step.
10) Fastboot mode : Volume Down + Power button you will see fastboot screen and connect to PC.
11) Now close old MiFlash and run the normal one from either desktop or C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiaomi\MiPhone\MiFlash.exe or C:\Program Files\Xiaomi\MiPhone\MiFlash.exe.
12) Choose your rom folder. NOT IMAGES FOLDER ROM FOLDER !!!! ( Ex : C:\mimax).
13) Click "refresh" and this time you have to see device serial number on device tab. Now click flash and let process finish. It takes around 3-5 minute and phone will reboot by itself.
Now re-assemble your phone. DONT FORGET TO CONNECT FINGERPRINT SENSOR. Now you are totally ready.
Tried 5 times with my very own Xiaomi Mi Max 128 GB.
Different reactions
Hi,
My device could still boot on fastboot mode, and flashes successfully through it on MiFlash Beta. However, the device remains stuck on Mi logo. I've already tested flashing on EDL mode apparently successfully, with the same results. I've flashed TWRP, but the device don't enter recovery mode. What can I do? Any suggestion will be welcome.

Many thanks for this thread, I stuck on my mi max with no reaction at anything, I read more than 100 threads, I tried testpoint, DFC (deep flash cable), click inside usb terminal to pc, windows 8, 7 10, 32 bits, 64 bits, programms like qfil (qpst), flasher tools for other phones and nothing, before with other apps at first second gives me error "can not read from port COM...", and now at least advance to 5 seconds with same error, I need to know it is neccesary too disconnect, remove two plastic cables down where places the battery

Working also with Hydrogen. Thanks.
@benzersizadam
This is why XDA is a great FORUM! Thank you for writing this thorough solution!
My device is up and running currently with MIUI 8! It went from a dead brick to a productive device again! I was almost giving up hope! You saved the day! It was a lot of work, but it is great seeing the device alive again.
I would just add that taking the cover off doesn't even need a tool like in the original disassembly youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dULcMWCEgEc
Yay!

Hi @SubwayChamp Everything I did was in the post and video from above in the first post by benz....
His instructions were perfect along with the youtube video. It's tricky, true, but with patience you can go through the steps and get your device running again. I was so glad that @Qulox gave me this link to this thread.
As you go through the steps, if you get stuck, we can try to give you advice.
This works for Hydrogen as well.
Many thanks
I have two dead mi max. One 128gb helium and one 32gb hydrogen.
128gb helium is completely lifeless. No charging led, no vibrations, no fastboot mode. Though i could bring it up to edl mode showing right qualcomm device in device manager. I tried flashing stock rom as mentioned in this guide which rather went successful without giving any error, even while battery connector was removed.
But mobile is still in same lifeless condition. Other than flashing process going through, it didnt make any difference. Dont know whats wrong. Also i didnt have to use two miflash versions as mentioned in steps as flashing process didnt give any error.
32gb hydrogen, boots up in flashboot mode, shows charging led, mi logo even edl model worked without any issue. It even boots up, but gives error of encryption unsuccessful asking me to reset device. I tried factory reseting it. Tried flashing twrp and wiping, formatting data, changing file system to all formats like fat, f2fs, ext1, ext2, ext3, ext4. Tried flashing crdoid and RR based on orea. Nothing working.
With twrp it keeps bootlooping showing mi logo. And with stock rom, recovery shows up encryption error. Followed procedure mentioned in this guide as well.
Is there anything am i missing or can do? Btw, bootloader is locked for both the devices. I could flash twrp referring another guide which suggested to replace stock recovery in rom files/ folder and flashing it like stock rom through miflash tool.
Battery problems? in the 128 especially?
If "nothing works" through any normal software methods, the ram &/or ROM memory chips might have become semi-defect. They are not eternal . . .

1. What is a "hard bricked" phone?
Hard brick is the state of android device that occurs when your device is unbootable without a bootloop. A hard Brick device generally show little to no signs of life (you wont be able to switch it on and the screen doesnt turn on).
A phone gets hard-bricked due to trying install ROM not made for the device or use ROM Manager incorrectly.
2. Procedure
Step 1: Download all the necessary files below:
download link: en(dot)miui(dot)com/a-234.html
MIUI ROM Flashing Tool(*.exe file)
MIUI Fastboot ROM package for your device(*.tgz file) - Any variant Global / Chinese should work
Step 2: Extract MIUI Fastboot ROM package using 7zip or any other software you prefer
Correctly extracted folder should look like: (Image folder), flash_all.bat e.t.c.
After extracting rename parent folder to something short such as "mido". Avoid parent folder of ROM package extracts being too long
Step 3: Install MIUI ROM Flashing Tool
If you get "driver not signed pop up during installation click "install anyway option or similar"
To test if everything installed correctly, connect your phone to your computer and open flash tool then hit refresh button, you should see an index and com port which indicates your phone is being detected.
If phone not detected restart computer with phone still connected and navigate to device manager->ports (you should see something like Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008.) if its not there re install MIUI ROM Flashing tool
Note that if you try to flash your extracted package at this point the installer will fail to communicate with the phone, step 4 is very necessary to ensure flashing can commenceStep 4: Remove back cover and disconnect phone battery
Disconnect your phone from your PC and find a nice dissasembly video on youtube to help you remove the back case of your phone. The battery is connected to the phone via one black flex cable on the right of the battery, simply detach this to disconnect battery.
Step 5. Flash your phone.
With your phone still opened, and battery still disconnected.
1. Open Flashing tool and connect your phone to your computer
2. Hit refresh to let your computer detect your phone.
3. Hit select/browse button and select parent folder from step 2. which has your rom
4. Select clean all option at the bottom of flash tool window
4. Hit flash.
5. Once flash is complete your phone will remain off disconnect from computer and reconnect the battery then switch your phone on.
3. Done
At this point your phone should be back to life. Close your phone's cover and then youre done.This guide helped me revive my Redmi note 4X snapdragon 625 3GB - please share youre experience if it doesnt work for you

Yeah, I'm getting that. And then "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" But then I just tried a few more times, maybe unplugged the cable and plugged it in again, and it worked.
not working
not working on my RN4X. while using MiFlash 2015 it is stuck on "Send nop command" and while using the 2016 version of MiFlash it is either "cannot receive hello packet" or cannot "ping". the latest version of MiFlash cannot be installed because of some cabinet file is missing. I'm stuck with this for a whole day now. is there anything that I'm missing??
WHAT IS HARD-BRICK?
The Hard-Brick, translated means device NULL, without function neither one! This happens a lot for forced updating: AS ANDROID 4.4.4 FOR 5xx ....
Most of the time, the cell phone stays in BOOTLOOP (infinite loop), another case as hard brick gets on the black screen with LED access.
Then you ask me?
Wagner, I Brickei my device, how to recover?
YES! There is always a way to recover. More remembering that each device has a way of doing, some are easier and others more complicated. We just need to find the right files.
So let's go!
MOTOROLA DRIVER
Drivers required for device recognition on PC.
If you have already installed, you do not have to install again.
Download
HAND-BRICK.exe
It will install the drives, recover the cell phone and recover the fastboot.
Download
STEP BY STEP
1- Turn off the phone and enter the fastboot mode:
Yes, I know the phone is off!
Plus the device is in operation and we need the phone to be turned off and enter the Fastboot mode.
HOW DO I DO THAT? I discovered two ways!
- Fast and easy mode:
OPEN THE PHONE AND DISCONNES THE BATTERY, IT WILL PLACE THE FATBOOT MODE.
IF YOU MAKE ERRORS IN COMMANDS, YOU CAN GET THE FASTEST ANSWER.
- Time-consuming and need patience:
PLUG THE PHONE TO CHARGE "INTO THE SOCKET", THE LED GOES ON, WAITES THE LED OFF.
If the LED does not turn on?
SAFETY THE POWER BUTTON ON + THE DOWN VOLUME, FOR 2 SECONDS OR ACCOUNT UP TO 30!
THEN PLACE INTO THE OUTLET, AND OBSERVE THAT THE LED WILL TURN ON! And wait until the LED turns OFF.
Why did I say I had to be patient?
Well, you're going to do this straight, each made the commands go wrong.
And it will only work again if the phone restarts. Many times the LEDs do not light up among other things like not recognizing on the PC.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT WORKS?
When using the unbrick, it will show you a path:

(BLANK-FLASH: **********):
THE FILES WILL BE DEMANDED TO BE RECOGNIZED, THEN IN THIS CASE THE COMMANDS WILL NOT WORK! AND AI FOLLOW THE STEPS AGAIN THE LED!

This method also will wipe your phone, so please back up your data. I also will disclaim any understanding as to why exactly this works, since this method was developed by someone else, I am just listing the instructions on how to use it. With that being said, understand your personal limits and read this entire guide before starting.
Thanks to the attributed users at the end of this post, to find this method we are waiting for years...
METHOD 1:
Part 1: Requirements:
To follow this guide you will need
A Windows PC
Latest MsmDownloadTool for Oneplus IN2017 - Link
Latest version of platform-tools - Link
The bootloader unlock.ops file - Link
Plug your phone into your PC using a USB 2.0 port (this is important, USB 3.0 has given me a lot of issues and just doesn’t seem to work all the time) and ensure USB debugging is enabled.
Extract the downloaded platform-tools zip and open the platform-tools folder in a command prompt, and Run adb devices and makes sure your device appears in the list.
Next, extract the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.zip and open up the MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe inside the instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001 folder.
When the application opens, select “Others” under the User type dropdown and hit next. Leave this window and the platform-tools command prompt open.
Part II: Entering Qualcomm EDL mode and installing correct QDLoader Driver
Part III: Flash Stock Firmware
In this section, we will flash the stock IN2017 Android 10 firmware.
Click the “Start” button in Msmtool. This will flash the stock firmware, wiping your data. Make sure you have backed your data up at this point. It will take a few minutes, usually ~300 seconds. Once it completes, it will reboot into factory default android 10.
Close MsmDownloadertool and once you are back to android, unplug your phone and power it off.
Part IV: Unlock the bootloader
In this section, we will flash the unlockable firmware and unlock the device for good.
1. Inside the directory with MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe, there should be a file called “instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops”. Remove it from the directory, either by deleting it or moving it to another folder. Then take the unlock.ops file downloaded earlier, and drag it into the directory and rename it to instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001.ops . It should be in the same folder as MsmDownloaderTool.
2. Reopen MsmDownloaderTool V4.0.exe and like before, select “Others” in the drop down, and click next. Leave the window open.
3. Hold in the Volume up and down buttons, then plug your phone back in. Keep holding the buttons until your phone connects to your PC as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", like before. Check device manager to ensure that it’s connected correctly as a COM port. If it boots to android, power it off and try again.
4. Return to MsmDownloaderTool. Make sure the phone is still displayed in the list under the associated COM Port.
5. Click start. The flashing should take about 15 seconds, and when complete, your phone should restart. It will display a message at boot saying “<!> The device is corrupt..” Do not panic, this is normal.
6. Unplug your phone and hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power until the device reboots and let go once it shows the OnePlus Logo and “Fastboot Mode”. You should arrive at a screen that has “Start” in big green letters at the top, and “Fastboot mode” below it, with the very last item saying “Device state - Locked” in red text.
Plug your phone back into your computer.
7. Return to your command prompt window open in platform-tools, and run fastboot devices and ensure your device is in the list.
8. Finally, run the command "fastboot flashing unlock", it should prompt you to confirm unlocking the bootloader. Once complete, it should reboot into Android.
9. Shut the phone off again, and then Hold Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power and let go when the OnePlus logo and “Fastboot mode” shows up on screen. If the final item in the list says “Device State - Unlocked”, Congrats! You have successfully unlocked your bootloader. You can follow your custom OS’s installation guide from here.
If you want to flash back to stock firmware again (relock bootloader), you have to first flash this file (stock.ops) and then flash the bundled stock firmware. It will give a mismatch error if you do not.
