Hard-bricked Redmi 5A - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
After trying to flash a wrong rom (it was the Xiaomi.eu one for the Redmi 5), my Redmi 5A does not respond to anything, I cannot turn it on, enter fastboot or recovery. When I connect it to the PC, and hold volume up for 10 seconds, the device manager shows an unknown device under the USB devices. I suspect this is a hard brick problem, and I was reading that maybe an EDL cable is needed to solve this? I am quite new to hard bricks, usually only fixed soft ones, maybe anyone has any suggestions?
Thank you

[Q] Model: P6(I believe it's a Star Ulefone P6) hardbricked. please help.

While uploading new rom, I have bricked my phablet.
Does anyone knows how to revive it?
It's a P6(Star Ulefone P6 I believe, check the images., main chip is MT6582). The problem is that bootloader is corrupted too, thus the device will not detect the phablet when pluged on USB. I have tried all combinations with volume-up, volume-down, with or without battery on pluging it to USB.
I have read that there should be a way to load the bootloader from the main chip itself by shorting some pad(CPU boot pad I guess) to ground on powering the the device thru USB without battery, but without any luck.
If anyone knows how to unbrick the device please reply.

Xiaomi Redmi 3S 32GB/3GB ROM bricked/ screen not working

Hello, as a lot of us I tried to install new rom and my device was completely bricked, no edl, no detection, no fastboot, so I open device, remove cover and made conenction between pins as I found on internet, it was very similliar to reset bios on pc motherboard.. device was detected, I have installed ROM for my device, I tried developer and stable too, but still the same. My screen is still blank, in Windows I see my device as Redmi 3S, I can switch my device to fastmode, but still wit black screen. Have you any idea what is wrong?
I think, that problem is with screen, not with software. I have disconnected and connect back battery for few times, but no contact with screen.
Do you know, where is connector for screen?
Regard,
Jiri

Xiaomi Redmi 3 Hardbricked?

Hi, so I have encountered a rather big issue with my xiaomi redmi 3 pro.
I believe I have flashed wrong (corrupted ? ) ROM, now I have a really annoying situation.
So, I flashed " ido_xhdpi_images_V7.2.6.0.LHPCNDB_20160129.0000.14_5.1_cn " in MiFlash, took a bit long time (nearly 15 minutes), afterwards it was completed, I disconnected my phone, and *BOOM* since then, black.
Current situation is this: When I connect my phone via USB, my phone gets recognized in device manager as
"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#)", also it gets recognized in MiFlash, but can't get it to work in fastboot, and it is not recognized as adb device. So, throughout 3 days now, I tried nearly EVERYTHING I have found on forums. The only thing I have not done is to take the back cover off and disconnect battery ( as I have seen on forums), tried with deep flash cable, all possible combinations of buttons and all. If the phone is connected to PC, when I press whatever combination of buttons on phone I just get Windows sound for connecting an USB device.
So today, when I connected it, red LED light was blinking, I have no idea what that was, so I plugged it into the wall to charge for 10mins, and now when I connect it, it's gone again, all black, no response whatsoever.
So, when I connect it to MiFlash and try to flash any ROM, tried nearly everyone I found, I get the same message; "Unspecified error 0x80004005; End Transfer packet id0, status 9" if I refresh MiFlash without disconnecting, and press flash again I get "Reached the end of the file. (0x80070026; Receiving hello packet) "
Things maybe to mention: I am running a 64 bit Windows 10, and my bootlocker is locked.
So I am wondering, if there is any possible way to solve this or it's time for a new phone?

Hard bricked

Hi guys,
I've flashed the 7.2.24 firmware (Kenzo) from this post and now my device is hard bricked.
Won't even show MI logo when i try volume down + power.
Plug in usb on PC gets unknown device and can't install driver.
I do get flashing red light when USB plugged in.
Never been so mad since this is the first time I hard brick my device after so many years...
any thoughts?

Just use MiFlash and flash stock ROM. It's soft bricked.

unbrick Xiaomi redemi note 4x

Hi
Actually, I have a redemi note 4x device. last week unfortunately I flashed a wrong Rom on my phone and it became brick
I can not turn it on and it does not go to recovery mode or fastboot mode or anything
I understood that I need to flash the Rom with deep flash cable
I ordered deep flash cable and followed instructions but my laptop does not recognize Qualcomm driver
I press the bottom on the cable and then connect the phone but it does not recognize it
it is really annoying that I can not do anything for it
I have heard redemi note 4x does not go to EDL mode with this cable is that true?
Has anyone any solution?
Ps: I opened the back of the of the phone even tried to use 2 points to jumper but it did not work really so I ordered the cable but it seems the cable is also not working
I appreciate if anyone knows a way regarding this problem
Thanks and Regards
flash firmware then rom
