REDMI NOTE 3 Complete Dead!!! Only Red Light Blinking - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hii Friends,
I am new to xda as i got an problem with my Redmi Note 3.
Specs Before Dead:
Miui 8.2.4
Android 6.0
32 Gb Rom,3 Gb Ram
I was trying to flash Android 8.0 Rom via Twrp {Flashed Through Mi Flash Tool}. Twrp Flashed Successfully and Then I started with flashing with Oreo Rom.It also got flashed successfully but the problem I think is I forgot to flash Lazy Flasher due to which the phone booted but was lock even though i entered the right password It started to reset the phone. Then the phone turned off never revived from there.
As I tried to power up many times and tried almost all the combination Keys like Power+Vol up,Power+Vol down,Power+Vol up+Vol Down,etc.Only Red Light is blinking while connected to charging or PC. In PC the Port shows Qualcomm 900E and cannot be recognized in Mi Flash Tool. As Mi flash tool detects Qualcomm 9008.Even I manually Tried to change the driver to 9008 but didn't help me to flash the ROM.Shown an error: Device attached is not working; in Mi Flash Tool
Even I showed in a repair center near me but he ended up with no solution even. I have been trying to get it in Edl mode so that i can flash Fast boot Rom but no clue for that.
If any clue for this would be really appreciated!!!

As I mentioned all the problem in the thread....there's nothing wrong with bootloader.
Thanks but no thanks

More info required: Official unlock or Unofficial unlock?
After flashing oreo ROM lazy flasher is not required you need to format data ( apart from wiping data ) to boot the device.
when connected to PC when the red light is blinking that means you're in EDL mode, now try holding power + vol down button, keep holding until you get a vibration & get into fastboot mode.
Then you can use fastboot commands to check if the bootloader is still unlocked & can flash TWRP again if erased.
But, if device is unable to enter fastboot mode then you must flash MIUI fastboot ROM through EDL.
The procedure is the same for flashing but you need appropriate drivers en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=attachment&aid=NzU4MzF8ZWU0ZWM1OTR8MTM5ODc1NDUzM3w2NDg1MDkzM3wxOTY5Nw%3D%3D

look like EDL mode

I can buy ur phone if u want to sell it. Reply if u r interested.

Unofficial Unlock

I have tried holding all the combination keys as mentioned earlier but no results. So without getting in Fastboot mode i cannot flash the rom and I don't think so that my device is in EDL mode because PC device manager shows Qualcomm 900E instead of 9008.
Thanks for replying to the thread and please provide other solution.

You're already in EDL mode. So start from edl part. Try this... http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html

The device is already dead.

What happens when you plug charger? What about Qualcomm QHSUSB BULK? Is it showing up in EDL? Vibration Works? LCD Backlight Turns On?

Once happened to me this method worked for me

same issue here have you got any solution

This happens to me once...but i got it solved. This is really an edl mode of the phone. Keep trying connecting it to pc and try pressing those volume and power buttons if there is any voice connecting to pc means your phone is not dead. So, keep trying.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-unofficially-install-zcx-twrp-t3586778
Here, this helped me. If you follow the instructions correctly, you will be able to unlock bootloader, boot into twrp and then flash your custom rom. Skip to the part when you will have the red led blinking.
Hope it helps.

Help Please!! I think I bricked my phone.

I was using Unofficial Cm13 (kenzo optimized) rom, then I decided to go to miui8 global stable. So, I flashed MIUI8 .zip file using alka twrp.
But after flashing it, my phone didn't boot into system. Mi logo flashed twice with vibration, and that's it. Now I can only go to fastboot mode only.
And when I try to flash fastboot rom using mi suit, it says, " try to connect in normal mode first, then switch.
Please help.!!
Hello, sometimes after installing the new rom the phone slowing on first boot.. try to get on recovery again and then do all format. after this flash the rom. The best way to flash the rom secure is to try fastboost method!!

Actually, I am unable to get on to recovery. When I press power+ volume up button, it vibrates, mi logo appears for a second, and then it goes and what is left now is blinking red led light. Also, If I boot into fastboot, and and connect my phone suing usb, The mi pc Suits says, "try to connect in normal mode first, then switch"

You could just have rebooted ur phone to fastboot mode and unlock the bootloader using mi unlock too to make the phone workl
It would have been way easier

Unfortunately, my phone already entering diagnostic mode during that's time. Did miflash unlock can solved it?
Thoght that i am missing one important step after flashing those miui eu rom. Reboot to fastboot prior the phone reboot into system and unlock the bootloader.
Anyway, thanks for your info.

[Hardcore problem?] Stuck in loop, bootloader locked

Hello my friend just made an update of his phone which is a redmi 3 pro
His little bro shutdowned the phone while update was in process. The result is that now the phone have a bootloop, can't access the recovery (blackscreen when trying) and have a locked bootloader.
So I am not sur how to unlock the BL if I can't install a dev rom and can't boot. Not sur how to get into the recovery with the 2 same problems.
Could anyone help me for this one? Which is hard to me.
Thanks
PS: I tried to do something with unpacking boot and remove a ",verify" thing in the ramdisk but I guess I'll need the unlockedbootloader to flash the new boot.img?

I have the similar problem with my Redmi3. The Fastboot screen is the only screen that I can get now. Let me know if you have answer. Thanks.
If you can acces fastboot then just connect the phone to computer in fastboot and enter fastboot oem edl in cmd (maybe you will need Minimal ADB and fastboot to do it). Then flash official ROM via MiFlash.
ohoh seems interesting then it won't say couldn't verify or smthg? will tell that to my friend asap, thanks
EDL mode allows flashing with locked bootloader. Some models have this mode locked, but I think that is not the case with Redmi 3.

Hey! I am back with some news of my friend!
He tried to run the EDL mode but when he does that the phone simply goes into the bootloop again... He asked a vendor from Aliexpress to get a french rom, is there a way that the phone doesn't have EDL because of the rom or something like that? I mean is EDL a hardware-thing or a software-thing
same problem

I have same problem, but this way is not work, because bootloader is locked. Im forget for replacing recovery.img in update package with twrp.
I had this problem before few monthes
my solution was to "force" putting this device on EDL mode
I clicked on vol up + vol down + power together and got into EDL mode, then miflash it.
google - xiaomi understanding download mode
it will send you into miui forum
then second method, download mode, it is what I've described

Dead redmi note 3

HI GUYS,
Theres a problem occured in my redmi note 3, I am installing twrp in my redmi via mi flash tool, the notification showed me successful but when i am turning my phone on it is not booting nor going in recovery mode or into fastboot mod.
My phone is completely dead and it's not booting and no mi logo just when i connect it to pc the red light starts blinking.
plzz help me i am in a big problem
When i am installing twrp only usb debugging is on and not the oem unlocking and my bootloader is locked, i think thats the main problem.
i'll be very thankful of your's
ROM : MIUI 8.5.7.0 stable
You are not supposed to flash twrp using miflash tool.... Also the very first requirement for making any modification to your device is unlocked bootloader...Is your device booting into fastboot mode?
Also checkout this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-7-2-3-t3359492
Thats the main problem its not going in fastboot mode or recovery mode only the red light blinks when connected to pc ?
Is the phone found by miflash? If it is, flash a fastboot rom

Don't worry. I fixed my device last week. The issue was same and it is happening because you have not unlocked you bootloader or you had earlier unlocked it unofficially and now flashed an official emmc_appsboot.mbn. Either way this issue occurs.
All you have to do is follow this guide:

Device is shutting down after mi logo

Hi all I'm new to this forum. I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3(SD) for about two years. I had rooted the device by official method and was using Lineage OS 14.1 almost 1.5 years . Yesterday I went through a xda thread which saying miui rom for rooted Redmi Note 3. I flashed that ROM and after that my device is not staring. When I'm powering the device it is vibrating and showing mi logo and then turning off. I'm not able to go to TWRP by volume up and power key as it is shutting down after switch on. But I'm able to go fastboot mode by volume down and power key combo. And also the notification led is blinking red when I'm charging the device. I've tried to flash TWRP recovery via fastboot but it's saying "failed remote device is locked" Tried to flash miui fastboot ROM via Miflash tool but it also failing with same remote device locked statement.
Now my question is that does my device got bricked? Will I be able to bring it back to working state? Anyone please help :crying:

Your device's bootloader got locked as a result of flashing MIUI. Just unlock it again using official Mi Unlock tool and flash TWRP.

Sometimes the emmc.appsboot file in MIUI ROMs messes up this way. I always remove that file from the ROM zip before flashing just to be on the safer side, while flashing MIUI ROMs through TWRP. And, always make sure USB debugging is turned ON, as it helps during such situations.
