What to do after accidentally hard bricking my phone? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Redmi 2A a chinese version of Redmi 2. I tried to flash a twrp custom recovery (wrong one)using flashify app and bricked my phone. After restart my phone just vibrate once and show mi logo for two seconds and display stays grayish after that. Nothing else happens. I can't get in to fastboot mode nor recovery mode by pressing the key combos.. Xiaomi's Mi flash software doesn't detect the phone either. Have I lost the phone or are there any tricks to unbrick it? Can mobile phone technicians fix it?

[HELP] can't boot to recovery twrp after flash.

Hi, I have a problem. 2 months ago I unofficially unlocked bootloader flashed twrp and everything necessary, then i tried many custom roms and there was no problems at all until yesterday when i tried to flash new rom.
I did everything correctly (like always - clean flash - rom- gapps) after that I got bootanimation loop ( sometimes happen - nothing very serious) so i wanted to reset once again to recovery twrp volume up + power to try once again and suddenly out of nowhere there was no twrp recovery. I had Mi logo ofc and after that for 0.5 sec there was a picture of droid laying with open chest and red triangle above and phone switched off. this screen lasts only for 0.5 - 1 sec and then disappear. When i try to boot system ( only power button) i get the same result mi logo -> "dead droid" screen for 1 sec and switch off.
From the other hand i can boot to fastboot but since i don't have any system on my phone (because it did not set up) and i can't go further than that screen i can't enable usb debugging to do everything by fastboot.
I tried also some edl.zip which helps with going into edl mode and I also can go to edl mode but miflash (newest) does not see my phone and I don't know why cause when plugged to computer phone is seen by it and in edl mode device is seen as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port as it should be, but miflash does not see my device. I don't know if it's bricked as hell or what should i do.. ?
Thanks for answers in advance.

Use the MiFlash Beta. It should work as you said your phone is recognized as QDLoader 9008. That's always a good sign. Do report back and tell us if that solved your problem.
Thanks I managed to fix it Problem solved!

Bootloop and red LED in Kenzo.

Hello, everyone. I was using Lineage OS 14.1 with Nougat 7.1.2 on my Redmi Note 3. My fingerprint was not working for some time, so today I decided to return to MIUI. I downloaded the last dev version and installed it via TWRP (now I know it was a mistake). My phone is dead. It's not turning on, it just keeps in the "Mi" boot logo. It's not even entering in Recovery mode neither Fastboot mode. When I try to enter Recovery mode, the Mi logo appears for just a second and then dissapears. When I try to enter Fastboot mode and when I connect it to the charger, the red LED starts to blink, and it's not EDL because my PC doesn't recognize it. I have a backup that I made before flashing MIUI, but I can't enter recovery mode. Please help me. Thanks.
You can flash MIUI on ZCX Twrp but on standard Twrp you must also flash Lazy flasher zip file along with ROM zip but above solutions are only if you have unlocked bootloader officially .
Hold Vol+ Pwr key for sometime first MI logo appears keep holding the keys don't release second time device will vibrate and again show MI logo now release keys & report what happens so I can guide you from there

It does nothing. I managed to release keys just after the logo appears and it keeps stuck at the logo.
I have my bootloader officially unlocked, though. What can I do?

How can I go to edl mode?
try to connect to pc by holding volume down you should be in fastboot mode
See for post in the guides section"INSTALL ZCX TWRP AND UNLOCK BOOTLAODER WITHOUT DATA LOSS KENZO"
this method will help you as I have also faced issue like you and recovered easily by this method in few minutes.
I had the same issue when I upgraded from CM13 to LOS14.1 a week ago. Did you unlock bootloader officially? If you did, just unlock bootloader oficially again and your phone should be working

Hello. I have the bootloader oficially unlocked. I managed to put the phone into fastboot mode, but my pc does not recognize. I think the charging port is damaged. I ordered it via Aliexpress. I will try this when it arrives.

[HELP] phone stuck on bootloop all of a sudden

Hello, I have a xiaomi redmi note 4 mtk phone that got stuck all of a sudden in a bootloop, and I have no idea why or how to fix it, the phone's bootloader is locked, there was no new version installation going on/attemp to update software or anything similar to that, the phone just started to bootloop for no reason, stucks on MI logo for 1-2 minutes, then shuts down and restarts.
The real problem is that Im unable to enter fastboot or recovery mode as both doesn't work, so I can't think if any way to reinstall the system, connect the phone to the pc and somehow fix it or anything like that. Does anyone have any idea I can try? Cause Im pretty much lost...Thanks!
update: I managed to get to fastboot, but my usb debugging is disabled, what should I do?

Phone struck at MI logo, can't turn on(giving infinite vibrartions)

HI All,
My device redmi Note 4 got struck in MI logo,It is not Turning on, it is giving vibrations everytime but phone is not booting up.
1)Problem is phone bootloader is locked, i can't unlock the phone now because mi account is not added in the settings.
2) i Tried flashing the various miui fastboot stable roms with mi flash software in PC, via testing points edl mode,flashing is successful but still the phone in not turning on.
3) even i can't enter into recovery mode by Volume UP+Power key ..meaning no recovery is present in the phone. one good thing is fastboot mode is working.
from the last 3-4 days i searched every where in the internet, Also i suspect the phone mother board hard ware problem.
if any experts or if anyone came across the same problem , please give me the solution for this.Any rom is okay, i just want to turn on the phone. please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Prashanth

Hardbricked my A10, what to do?

A few months ago, I successfully rooted my SM-A105FN/DS with Magisk and Odin. I remember I had TWRP on there, but I think I flashed my phone again, therefore causing my phone to lose TWRP. I recently decided to install the TWRP recovery again, yet I installed the wrong recovery, and after flashing with Flashify and rebooting, I was met with a boot loop. I only saw the Samsung logo with the official software warning and bootloader unlock warning. This would restart constantly until I plugged in my phone, to be met with the logo stuck on the screen. I cannot enter adb, fastboot, Odin mode or recovery mode. My PC doesn't recognise it. I spoke to some Samsung support people online, and they hand no clue whatsoever. I don't want to pay for a repair (I doubt they'd repair it anyways because I have bricked it with a rom and have rooted it). Is it possible to fix it with software, and if not, how can I, and is it possible to replace it with the motherboard of another A10?
you solved that?
i have the same problem, this situation is very nerve wrecking. anyone got a fix on this one?
You cold try to wait until the battety get flat,then you hold vol + and - buttouns then plug into a computer,you should see the download mode
can you open the fastboot mode with volume down + power? it may enables the odin again
