Hello dear Forum members,
ive brought a new geniue Mx5 phone.
the phone worked perfectly for a couple of days.
yesterday i forgot to charge it and it completly drained its battery.
in the morning i connected the phone with its original charger and cable and nothing happens.
the phone wont charge and wont start, i've tried different chargers and cables and even connecting it to my comp via USB and still nothing happens..
theres only a led notification light blinking, the phone and the charger are COLD even after a couple of hours connected to the charger..
i also tried to remove the simcard and enter the recovory mode ( tired pushing the volume buttons [+ and -] with the power button, and all the possible combinations and yet nothing...)
i didnt drop the phone and didnt put it under extreme wheater....
what can i do ?
i'd be very thankful to have your advice and ideas
yours,
Elitemagix
Hello!
Have you tried to let the phone charging some hours? When the battery is fully drained you need to do this

hey iicc thank you for the reply,
after i read your comment i charged the phone for the whole night, and still in the morning nothing happened the notification light is still blinking and the phone is cold
any other ideas???
Ive had the exact same problem, just ordered the phone came today... let it die then charged and now its not charging! I don't know what to do! Did you find a solution?
Hi, I've the same problem with a Meizu MX3. Have you found any solution?
Hold power till stops blinking, should just boot after that.
hi i have this problem too has anyone fixed it ?
I had and have the same issue with my Meizu MX4, with the Ubuntu Touch (OTA-14) OS.
I have changed battery and connector and the problem still remains.
Taking out the battery and charging it externally works, but charging it through the connector and micro-USB plug does not work.
As I suppose other people higher up in this thread have Flyme as OS, it seems to be a motherboard issue to me.
Any solutions found meanwhile?
Since I don't have the necessary equipment at home to perform the external charging, and I have so far relied two times on a repair shop to do so, I would also be interested to get references of universal or Meizu specific external charging equipment.
Thanks.
I had the same problem with my meizu m5c
Idont know if it will work on your meizu models bu i fixed my by just pressing the volume up and power button then it showed “battery lower than 25%,update available” then i pressed restart and placed it on my charger and it was fixed
Hi! Similar problems have been posted on the forum before, but none of the solutions worked for me.
Stock Mi A1 with vanilla Oreo (latest official patch), everything stock & vanilla, no hacking, no rooting, no modifications etc whatsoever. All apps installed through google store, nothing fancy.
In short: put my phone into airplane mode about a week ago (battery at 90%), then a few hours into the flight the phone blacked out. Won't react to power button, power+volume up, power+volume down, all buttons, no buttons, any combination of buttons for any length of time. Phone was in my pocket, no physical impact or anything, just "died".
There are 2 signs of life:
- If i plug it to charge the notification LED blinks about 1 / sec
- If I connect it to a computer, it recognizes it as Qualcomm 9008 blabla device.
What I have tried so far and didn't work:
- All imaginable button combinations: no reaction
- Fully charging phone: doesn't help
- Letting battery deplete: doesn't help
- Disassembled the phone, disconnected the battery, put it in charger, reconnected the battery: this fixed the issue for some, didn't work for me.
I GUESS that since the computer recognizes it I could try to "flash" it or whatever, although 1) there are a lot of negative posts about it 2) I have no idea how to do it (which exact ROM, using which exact tool, etc).
I wouldn't mind not losing the data on the phone though, if that is an option: I was about to back up my photos on the flight, but it died before I could have done it.
There is no official Xiaomi support / service where I live, bought the phone while visiting a country which sold it.
Any suggestions?
Small update.
- adb doesn't see the device.
- Miflash sees the device, but dies at "ping via firehose" stage.
-A1 low level backup tool doesn't see the device.
After 2 weeks of googling I have found around 50 forum threads around The Internet with similar issues, but no solution as of yet. Sounds promising!
I had this problem 2 hours ago and fixed with the Disconnect battery, connect charger, reconnect battery (while charger is still connected just to clarify). you tried this fix like this? reconnecting battery while charger is still connected?
Maybe try getting a different battery and connect it, and/or maybe let the battery discharge itself.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I have tried this before. Now I have tried this again just to be sure. Did it multiple times. Disconnect battery, connect charger, reconnect battery. It doesn't alter the phone's state in any way. Doesn't react to buttons, flashes led on charger, shows up as qualcomm 9008 device on PC, but doesn't let me flash anything. Sad.
Qualcomm 9008 is sigh of faulty emmc chip. Bad soldering i guess. Take the device to the service center. My 1 cent op. Regards
Its very simple the solution. The problem is the cable. Try to change the cable, charging the phone and turn it on. I my case works

Have you had any progress? I'm having similar issues with my mi mix 2s.
The answer is to replace the battery. I have two dead batteries for my Mi A1. Both batteries were left in the drawer for several months and upon connecting them to my Mi A1 they showed the dreaded blinking light. After trying to fix this for a day I gave up. I disconnected the battery, the phone booted up right away. Bought a new battery and everything is working again. Hope this helps!
I too had numerous kind of hard bricks with my previous smartphones.
Here are the links that will save your life:

Try the ones that you think fit the most.
I had the same issue just today
removed the battery connector and connected it back without touch any other component
phones working fine now
its bricked and get into edl mode just try to flash with MiFlash tool i have faced this problem some time ago when i flashed an ota with twrp recovery then my phone went dead and when i connect it to pc led blinks and phone recognise in ports as "diagnostic port 9008d" something like that then i install the drivers and flash stock pie rom with MiFlash tool but after successful flashing phone wont boot but after pressing power button for 10 to 15 second phone starts. i have unlocked bootloader so it works for me but i'm not sure it works on locked device try it or use QFIL flash tool from QPST
This happened to me but all i did was charge the phone the whole time.
My Xiaomi A1 had the same issue, I think I have tried all available solution but unfortunately mine still dead, and when I connect the charger it blink.
I guess the ultimate solution is to throw it to a recycle bin.
My phone doesn't turn on nor can it turn on in recovery mode neither and seems to be dead... The only signal of life is the blinking white led next to the fingerprint scanner.
Here's how this happened: The phone was charging very slowly, I thought this was a problem with the cable so I tried other ones without success, I continued using the original, days later it stopped charging so I opened the phone very carefully and saw the battery conector raised ever so slightly, I pushed it back in place and noticed that the flash flex cable had some kind of bump that was caused by some kind of chip under it, maybe I sat on my phone some day and caused this but I don't really know. So I reassembled the phone and now it won't turn on.
I've tried to "unbrick" the phone since apparently that's what causes the blinking white led and not being able to turn on the phone, but unfortunately, the phone won't get recognized when connected to a computer, this means I can't do the unbricking.
I want to know what else could this mean? Is the motherboard dead? Would the led blink even when the motherboard is dead? What can I do?
I've tried(in order to get my phone to show up on the computer):
*Using different kind of usb cables(including the original).
*Connecting to other computers.
*Installing Qualcomm and Motorola drivers.
*Running PC on test mode and disabling signature checks.
Please tell me your opinions, do I buy a new phone or is this fixable?
Originally, I would have thought your issue might have been to do with the charging port (possibly explaining that your device can't be identified).
Just to confirm, all the connectors that you saw, including those attached to the motherboard, are all connected and it's a good connection?
It's entirely possible the motherboard/flash memory is dead - so not being to load the bootloader, though I would have thought you'd be able to see Qualcomm HS-USB 9008 in Windows if your device can't boot to the bootloader (it'll drop to the Emergency Download Mode).
I honestly do not know what the issue/issues might be, though you could take it to a service centre/repair shop and see what they say (get them to inspect the device). Given what you've described, it's possible you may be better served by a new device rather than spending money fixing up this one.

Thanks for the reply, I checked all connectors and none seem to have problems so I'm going to take it to a repair shop as you say, depending on what their diagnose is, I'll consider buying a new phone. Once again, thank you.

Try to hold the power button and the volume down buttons together for more than 2 minutes. My moto g4 goes dead sometimes and nothing I do will turn it on except holding those buttons for like 2 to 3 minutes then it reboots to fastboot and turns on. It might not work but it works for mine and its worth a shot. It takes a few minutes and I dont know why but it does no more 3. Let me know if it worked.
Last night I've put my Mi 9t to charge and went to sleep. When I woke up, the phone was turned off.
I've tried to restart it and also pressed the volume + power button combinations to force the recovery mode - unsuccessfully.
No blinking lights, no MIUI entry, no vibration, zero response from the phone. (Is it bricked?)
I've started to research and since my computer can't find the Mi 9t (running Windows 10) the only solution seems that to disassemble it and do the EDL Mode Test Point, to acess the recovery mode and try to flash the phone.
Do you have other sugestions to try?

This is weird. Maybe it's not charged? Did you try another charger and/or cable? How can the phone get bricked overnight by doing nothing? Never heard of it.

I've tried today during all day with a different charger, no response.
It's the first time a thing like this happened to me as well. I've never flashed it before or did any major modifications. I was running MIUI 11 still.
If the battery runned out how can I revive it?
On another forum a user told me it could be the integrated circuit broken or a battery problem.

Then I really don't know. Like I've said, never encountered this before. You could try going to a repair service.
you could open backcover and charge battery directly to see if thats usb problem
You can make an EDL cable. is very easy to do and you have a lot of videos and pictures about it.
Dont worry if you have to open the phone is really really easy. With a hot air gun or a hair dryer you can do it in 2 minutes. You are going to need also a piece of radiography to separate the cover
Then the test point is really easy to do it, check some pictures in google, also you can check the usb port if it is damaged or not once the phone is opened, but of course if the phone stoped working from day to night is weird a usb faulty port
Pls don't open anything or try an trick. Just take it to a repair service so u don't make things worse
I've tried the test point and didn't work, as well
So I took it to a repair shop that accepts xiaomi. They are going to order a new battery and a battery connector (2-3 Weeks).
I'll post when I'll get more updates.
I had a lg g3 that did the same thing. Charged it over night and it didn't work the next morning, could be power surge. Ever since then I never charge my phone over night
So, I've picked it from the repair shop and they couldn't fix it. They changed the battery, the battery connector and the display. They said they don't have a solution for the phone.
My next step is to contact gearbest to see if they have a solution for me.

It must be the mother board then, Same with my old lg g3.
Saw today that there was the MIUI 14 Update for the POCO.
Downloaded, unpacked and then it said restart, pressed restart.
It turned off and never on again.
Tried holding power button, charging, fast boot, holding here and there nothing. Blackscreen.
Opened the phone, unplugged both screen and battery, plugged in. Nothing. Tried it a few times and then upon charging it installed the updated, turned off blackscreen.
Tried everything from above again, nothing. Saw that upon plugging on my PC it showed QDLoader 9008 so probably EDL. If i unplugged and plugged in I heard a sound on my PC. If i held the power button i also heard the sound when you connect a device.
Opened the phone up again, removed the mainboard and tried to remove that small metal cover from the mainboard. Couldnt get it off even with enough heat applied. Heated the mainboard according to a different thread: Mainboard Part
Now when i charge the phone it shows me the battery display but if i press the power button the phone doesnt boot. Without charging it also doesnt show any sign of life. I didnt plug in all parts such as camera etc. yet
Does anyone know what to do now, cant afford a new phone.
edit//
If i plug it into a charger it shows 90%
PC shows it as a drive (E:/) Linux no more 9008
still no reaction after connecting everything

When the phone is connected to edl mode, the next procedure for recovery is simple, you have to look for the procedure, for example here.
I solved it by heating up the metal cover and the mainboard as shown on the "mainboard part image". If you reasamble the phone make sure that your mainboard is connected to the button connectors, that was my issue. For some reason it wasnt connected and therefore the buttons were not working.
Support was literally useless and the warranty in germany is a scam.
Trash phone. Never going to buy POCO again.
