okay .. too bad you should replace your device, or you can find a good mechanic to replace some broken parts. it usually works

did you drop it?
or it happened during installing rom or something?
How does it happened please tell us.

Charge it overnight
Hold the power button 20-30 seconds the next day

Boot the device in fast boot mode by holding volume down+power button. Then go to MiFlash and flash fastboot redmi note 4 rom in edl mode(Unlock bootloader by running the last script file and then proceed to do the following steps). Download stock fastboot rom for redmi note 4 from official mi website(Note: The stock fastboot rom is different from stock recovery rom). While flashing the rom, below you have the option to choose three modes, click clean all and lock. Flash this rom and you're device will be working in no time. Make sure your device has adequate battery

[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.

to go to edl mode just turn off your phone.plug the cable to your laptop or desktop but not to your phone.now be ready to press both volume up and down button as you plug the usb cable to ur phone.immediately after inserting the usb cable press both volume buttons at the same time.it should vibrate and go to edl mode.edl mode appears in black screen so to know if its in edl mode or not open miflash and click refresh ,your device should be shown as com10,20 or com something like that .once you go to edl mode you know what to do if you have used miflash to flash roms.hope this helps you.

try flashing official global rom then see if the problem still persists or not
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 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.

Thanks, i will try it, but with MIUnlock Tool i need to request the unlock of my device on the website right?
Yes, so how you flash cm14.1? Without unlock trick? Flash fastboot rom via edl method but your internal storage will wipe and you lose your data.

This is an unbrick tutorial if you need it.It's very reliable, and I think it should work for you.
If it doesn't, try searching for tutorials for a deep flash cable. kinda like the usb jig for samsung devices.
Force edl with fix in miui forum then flash miui fastboot rom. Unlock start again.
I have his same problem, but i unlocked with Mi Unlock Tool, any clues about that?
I had a similar issue couple days ago when flashing another MIUI rom. The phone wouldn't turn on or enter fastboot mode. When I plug into the computer, it would detect something is plugged in with that windows sound and the phone's LED light flashes RED. At this state, I think phone is in EDL mode but MiFlash doesn't detect anything. When I check my Device Manager, the COM Port would show my device as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E.
If you're getting Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E in Device Manager, you are in Diagnostics mode, basically a brick. You can try following this link (http) en.miui. com/thread-274589-1-1.html to fix it.
I unbricked my device, I flashed miui 7.1.8.0 fastboot rom, unlocked the bootloader and then i flash cm 14.1 without any problem.
Thank you guys.

Even I had this problem. However I fixed this. Try these steps
1.Press power button and volume+ button till you see Phone and USB cable picture.
2.Install lastest version of Chinese Mi Pcsuite (Don't use English version as it has some issues detecting your phone).
3. Now connect your phone to pc via usb cable
4. A popup menu will appear in Chinese. Select the second option which is factory reset.
5. After that the phone reboots and everything will work fine. However you will lose user data.
Yes but mine is MTK version?

REDMI NOTE 3 Complete Dead!!! Only Red Light Blinking

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Miflash won't work with fastboot mode if your device's bootloader is locked. You'll have to go to EDL mode and then flash using Miflash.

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.
