Need help with bricked Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo/Snapdragon) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Dear Community,
I got my Note 3 Pro Snapdragon Version today and I tried unlocking the bootloader, installing root and TWRP.
Unfortunately after I installed TWRP, WiFi didnt work anymore so I wanted to go back to where I was before.
i tried flashing the GlobalRom with the MiFlash Tool but somehow I'm now stuck with a bootloop.
The phone starts up and shows the MI Logo but doesnt go on. I tried booting TWRP temporarily via fastboot commands so that I can try to flash flashable zip files
but it doesnt let me execute "fastboot boot xyz.img" anymore because my device is locked.
I would really love to hear any solutions or ideas. I dont want any root or something anymore. If someone has an idea Im very happy!!!
thanks a lot in advance and tell me if you need any more infos

1. keep vol + and vol - pressed while connecting USB to enter adb mode
2. check if phone is connected with "adb devices" in command line, if phone shows up, enter "adb reboot edl"
3. now you can flash via MiFlash

First of all, HUGE thanks for your fast answer!
Unfortunately I couldnt get this to work. Since I am stuck at the Logog screen here is what I tried:
Pressing both volume buttons while Logo Screen and plugging USB.
Pressing both colume buttons while fastboot screen is up.
These two didnt enter adb mode, I guess because of the bootloop I'm in
I also tried antering recovery mode with volume up + power button. Pressing both volume buttons didnt help either but when I am in recovery like that it shows my device in adb as "sideload" device.
Maybe that helps ? Can you give further advice or am I doomed?
My idea would be: Is it possible to reflash the device completely only usinf fastboot? The only thing I seem to be able to enter is fastboot...
Is there a way from fastboot to "working phone" ?
or maybe through the "adb sideload" state?
thanks a lot in advance!
Paul
EDIT
tried installing via "adb sideload xyz.zip" command but after shortly showing a status bar on phone screen it aborted and said "Total xfer: 0.00x" on PC screen .
Also: I read "adb reboot edl" brings you to download mode so you can flash something. Tried it but the phone just rebooted the normal system, so it stuck on Logo again...

search miui forum for unbrick, there is 2 or 3 method without opening your device
exp: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=257227

Unfortunately they all do not work because they always require either a phone in download mode, and i only get to fastboot and adb sideboard or they require flashing something via fastboot but I can't do that either because it says my device is locked if I try...
Any suggestions how to flash a ROM with fastboot only or with adb sideload?
Thanks a lot

I Had The Same Issue Brother ! There are only 2 Things which you can do now .
1. Test Point Method to enter EDL
2.Give it to Service Center . I Gave Mine to Service Center ,They Fixed it in 30 mins or less and it was free

Can I do the test point thing myself or is it risky?
What kind of service center? A general mobile phone repair shop or a Xiaomi special one?

I've been facing the same (or a similar?) problem about a week ago but managed to get out. Knowing me for having a head like a sieve I made some notes, sadly quite rudimentary
Did you try to flash with MiFlash after "adb reboot edl"? If I remember rightly after "adb reboot edl" you got the logo like booting another way, but the light is blinking red. Then I could flash via MiFlash.
I'm quite sure that if you get a "reboot" after entering "adb reboot edl", your phone will be in edl mode.

I will try that this evening when I am at home again and report. Thanks

Unfortunately this doesnt work. Phone reboots and shows MI Logo but red light doesnt blink and MiFlash doesnt recognize any devices.
Do you have another idea? :/

How did you unlock the bootloader, via official permission or that unofficial hack?

I didnt use the official way :/ Im so hoping my phone isnt broken. I wish i owuld have been more patient

Only options you have right now are:
1) using test points method which is a but cumbersome and voids warranty if you care about that.
2) go to a xiaomi service center of you have any nearby.
It is hard bricked.

So there is absolutely no option to unlock bootlader via adb sideload or fastboot ?

Apparently, no! Whenever using unofficial methods, read precautions carefully and you missed all as I can see. Wait if someone can help you out.

apply official unlock. then unlock your device from fastboot mode.

That sounds nice and easy. I already applied for official unlock.
But: do you know if u can use the official unlock now? I can only access fastboot and adb sideload mode. Is it possible to activate official unlock from there? Or do I need a working ROM rather?
I would have thought that official unlock doesn't work from fastboot /adb sideload...

I have the same problem. I made the same mistakes as shisaya24. I have followed every procedure for unbricking and nothing works. I even applied for an unlock code and got it from Xiomi. I used their mi-unlock app which requires fastboot (pwr/vol-) but it gets to 50% and bombs out. It states it can't verify the phone. Can anyone please help me??

I bricked my redmi note 3, please help

I got my redmi note 3 officially unlocked and flashed zcx twrp, but when I tried to flash xiaomi.eu, I deleted the emmc_appsboot.mbn from the rom, it is my mistake. Now my phone cann't start at all.
when I boot into fastboot mode, I can see the bunny but my computer can not find the phone so I can not go to edl mode.
when I turned off the phone and connect it to computer, it shows as 900e instead of 9008 in device manager. I tried the method in http://en.miui.com/thread-274589-1-1.html, but it did not work. Is there anyway I can bring the phone back to live? Thanks.
The only way to save your phone is to flash whole ROM by fastboot ROM.
Following every steps described here and do it carefully: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Good luck !

Hello.
So you can access to fastboot so thats it you just need fastboot to edl command. I actually face the same issue way before and what i did I connect my redmi to pc in fast boot mode and run the command which is in this file.

Press thank if i help you anyway
Do you know how to make your phone enter fastboot mode ?
1. Power off your phone first
2. Press button of [volume-] + [power] together
If you still cannot enter fastboot mode, that means your phone is dead.

I think you need to open the unit and connect the two points of the battery and it will appear in the device manager 9008. It has tutorials on how to do this.
If your phone able to enter fastboot mode, then you should do:
check your bootloader wether it's locked/unlock. If it's shown locked, try to unlock it using unlock tool.
I am pretty sure your bootloader locked again caused by flashing miui.eu rom without flash lazyflasher afterwards.
If unlock tool can't help you then you need to use reboot to edl app tool and flash it using miflash.
If reboot to edl still can't help, then the safest way is using deep flash cable to unbrick your phone. No need to open your phone to do this.

Thanks, I think so too and already opened the unit. Do you happen to know the exact location of the two points? I found a video about it but it is not very clear.
You can try this

Your computer is unable to detect the phone in fastboot mode. Uninstall and reinstall the fastboot drivers, the proper ones. If successfully detected it should not be rebooting.

" fastboot devices "​If a device with device number shows up fastboot drivers are installed correctly or else if nothing shows up fastboot drivers are not installed properly..so check them.

Im having this issue now on my redmi note 4x.
Do you have a solution? Thanks
Man, you need adb bootloader interface installed properly.
Open device manager, and you'll see something popping out when you connect your device to pc on fastboot mode, there you can see what's wrong. So all you need is update that wrong driver (the one that popped out once you connect your device in fastboot mode) and install redmi note 4x driver, just ignore your disappearing fastboot mode in your device, keep install it. You should have your redmi note 4x driver prepared btw, you can google it.
Good luck!
use USB2 port, do not use USB3

That is because your computer does not make any connection with your phone. Are you sure that you have all drivers installed. You can install fastboot drivers with mi flash tool but before that write this command in an admin cmd - bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF and reboot. Now you can now install the fastboot driver from mi flash tool and try your luck

So drivers are needed for fastboot flashing a xiaomi phone?
Why I didn't need drivers to use fastboot with other phone manufacturers?
In these phones (oppo, op) the phone stays in fastboot mode until you exit or shut it down.
I think xiaomi did a bad move with this.
───────
EDIT: It works in debian without any additional drivers.
Fastboot recognizes the xiaomi phone with "fastboot devices" command.
So it was as you said.

ADB unauthorized when phone shutted off

Hello,
I have specific problem.
I was on the stock rom 10.3.6... with root and twrp installed. So I wanted to update to Miui 11 and I uninstall Magisk and done the update through the twrp.
So, in order to back magisk I wanna to go to twrp via fastboot and PC. But I am constantly getting message "ADB devices unauthorized". Anyway... this is only happening when phone is shutted off(in order to go to fastboot mode). When phone is turned on everything is fine and I can se device via adb command prompt. I tried any written solution on internet but nothing could solve the problem. When I connect turned on phone I regularly get the question to authorize phone and I click ok. And while phone is turned on everything is fine and I have accsess to internal and external memory of phone.
Is there any possible solution to solve this stuck ? Is there some other way to boot into twrp besides fastboot ? For now I would skip installing magisk via stock recovery or without twrp access.
Thanks infront !
This is how its susposed to work. Device should be online when turned on, and not when off. This is first time i heard someone try to connect device wiht adb via fastboot.

Thank you for reply.
I think that the reguar way for boot into twrp via pc is that your phone is turned off. Than you connect with pc and start adb commands. I dont understand, really.
Ok, how can I boot into twrp without pc if dfe is not flashed ?

You use fastboot instead of adb commands when phone is off. Put your phone in fastboot mode and type commands like fastboot boot (drop your twrp image here) and hit enter

Need help with OP7T Pro soft brick

Hi,
Would like some help with a little issue i'm having,
Got a HD1910 model of the phone running the global rom and it seems to be stuck in 'fastboot' mode. Every time the phone reboots or pressing 'start' it will return back to fastboot mode.
Extra details:
It's locked and the developer tools were never enabled.
Occasionally it has shown `qualcomm crash dump mode` with no extra details.
Using this MSM tool it completes successfully but still continues booting into fastboot mode.
All buttons and ports are working.
Using ADB `fastboot reboot` reboots the device but still into fastboot mode
It started to happen after I woke up from installing the latest OTA official oneplus update.
Any help would be appreciated

Try this might work need to download full ROM
1.Boot into recovery
2.Tap on upgrade from USB
3.Go to your computer and open a command window
"Click Shift and Right click simultaneously"
4. Type the following command
Adb sideload file name.zip
5.Wait for the process to complete
6.Reboot your device

Thanks for the reply, but it seems entering into recovery just reboots back into fastboot mode.
Hmm, seems from your description as if your recovery is broken. You could flash a stock recovery in fastboot with the "fastboot flash recovery <filename.img>" command, for download of recoveries you could take a look at this thread and find one suitable for your device/regional version. Once you got a working recovery you can proceed as written above...
Good luck !

thank you for your help my bootloader wasn't unlock it is now thanks a lot
It appears your device's bootloader is locked. Try:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
If that doesn't help, search for a guide on how to unlock bootloader for your specific brand.
It also looks like don't really know what you are doing. Make sure you are following trusted guide. If no, I'll be happy to help.

well i did installed custom roms few time but i dont know much, i did unlock bootloader now the problem is i do install custom recovery twrp and it do installed and rom manager shows that custom recovery is installed but pressing volume down + power button just shows fastboot logo and it restart my phone, and with command "
adb reboot bootloader" i am able to boot into fastboot mood and when i go to recovery from their it open stock recovery instead of twrp
Stolen from my guide:
7. Go into fastboot mode
8. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
10. fastboot reboot recovery
12. Sometimes recovery doesn't want to stick as a permanent one. To test it, hold the power button and select "Reboot to recovery". If you reboot to TWRP, you can move on, but if you reboot to stock one, flash recovery using fastboot again and from recovery flash recovery again (sounds crazy, right?). I won't give you instructions on this, research it yourself. Make sure guide you will find is for your device and your recovery.
