Hello, yesterday I got my new Redmi Note 3. After hour or so using it, installing apps, adjusting settings and such I locked it and a minute later it didn't turn on (last time I checked the battery was around 30%). I've tried a lot of things: connecting it to my PC, holding every combination of buttons (just power button, just volume down, just volume up, power+volume down, power+volume up, I haven't tried only the volume up+volume down combination). I've also left it charging over the night using my Galaxy s3 mini charger (I live in Europe so I can't charge it here with provided charger) and still nothing, literally no reaction. Then HonorBuy's suport sent me an email that says I have to remove the sticker from the battery, it wasn't until they realised that the battery is non-removable that I have to close the back cover. Then they told me that I try charging it on the computer for at least an hour. Will that help considering that I've already charged it normally the whole night? Or do you guys maybe have some other idea what might be the problem?
I forgot, that hour or so when the phone actually worked, worked perfectly.
Thank you.
did you manage to get your phone fixed? im having the same problem. phone just died randomly.

I have the same problem.
Original Note 3, original rom. It just died and I can't get it to work. no reaction from phone.
Any ideas?
Same problem here . any idea?
Can you get into fastboot?
Power button + vol down..
Edit: Sorry, just saw that you have tried that already..
When I had a bad flash a couple a weeks ago my RN3 was totally dead like yours..
I followed this guide wich worked for me: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=221115
Attention! All your data will be lost..
I'm aware that your phones was properly working, but maybe this is a solution?
Charge from PC USB.

A Quick Fix
I also got the same problem today...but i mamaged to fix it...Firstly hold vol down and power button...the device will boot into fastboot mode ...secondly after entering into fast boot mode...hold volume up + power for 10 seconds....now your phone will reboot ormally...Thats it...No big deal...
I had the same problem right after I connected the phone with an aux- it died and started heating up. I tried all the above suggestions except the reboot because I didn't want any data lost. All I did was put it in rice for 10 minutes, even though I knew rice is meant for phones when they've got wet. After 10 mins, I pressed the power button and it worked!
Hope it works for you,too.
The same problem is happening with me after I tried to restore a TWRP backup.
I can't really enter fastboot as phone is not charging.
I'm having the same issue with my Redmi Note 3 phone. Just opened it from the box, charged a bit and turned it on. Everything worked except when I turned it off again to charge it faster and later tried to turned it on.
The phone is now completely dead, no charging screen, and it's slowly heating up. Is this a manufacturing error or can I do something to fix it?

This happened to me too. I think I factory wiped in twrp and went from cm13 to miui then it stopped charging.
No amount of flashing fixed it. Fast boot, EDL nothing worked and xiaomi won't help.
I came across only few people that had this but they seemed to suggest some partition being corrupted going from CM to miui. I couldn't find details about which partition though, not very substantial claims.
I read somewhere that it could be a bug of the version of a specific TWRP, but without sure.
In my case, I flashed Xiaomi.eu with success on CM, and after that restored again CM.
CM -> Xiaomi.eu -> CM
I sent it to a (unofficial) repair center and they just flashed the ROM on my phone. Probably using pin test or something similar.

I tried all of that. I had about 80% battery when I noticed it's not charging so I had plenty of battery to flash things. I tried anything and everything that was suggested to me in the xiaomi forums but nothing worked.
Did you send it to an official xiaomi service center?
No. I just sent it to a local generic phone service center. I imported mine from China without warranty.

Well that gives me some hope. Where are you? In the UK the phone is rare so I'm worried that they won't know what to do with it.

I'm from Portugal and it is also rare her but they solve it in a few days with just a small price. Try to find a specialized smartphone repair center near you as it looks like a small issue.
I have purchase new redmi note 3 prime. Very first time when I switched it on after charge it start booting and still continue since 8 hour. Nothing happened neither switch off nor restart even hard boot is also not working. Only logo of mi is blinking on screen.
Can someone suggest me plz.
I am also having same problem. Volume down and power button also not working
I too had same issue. I held down the power button for almost 15 seconds and it booted up
Guys, I need your help.
So, I just received a call with my phone while driving and after a while? I realize no activity. I check & see that it is stuck on the "your device software can't be checked for corruption"
If I remove the battery, put it back & connect the charger, it charges & shows charge progress.
I can get into the factory reset using hardware keys but I can't get to TWRP.
I removed the sdcard and everything seems to be intact without corruption.
There was this one time it got in for some few minutes then restarted to verification stage.
It doesn't overheat.
Bootloop or just maybe os/recovery failure??
well if it keeps doing it probably but if not idk. so mine i was browsing the internet with firefox then it randomly restarted it did not feel hot so i pulled the battery and restated it and every time it would get stuck at the device software can not be checked for corruption and would stay there for 2-3 min then restart and it would do it again. Thats how mine went into bootloop. i left it on for 1 hour and was able to get it to boot in android for 30 sec but then resarted and could no longer get in to os. i could only get it in fastboot and factory reset(which did nothing).
Mine started randomly rebooting a few weeks ago. I just exchanged mine the other day. I would advise you to try and backup any important data now if you can or get it off the phone. I like my v10 but I'm disappointed in LG for having such a widespread problem like this.

As nothing worked for me & LG was being difficult, I have dumped the phone for now (will probably resurrect it when the MoBo is available).
I purchased a Huawei Mate 9 four days ago and I'm very glad i did.
Thanks everyone.
I bought a brand new Xiomi Redmi Note 4 3gb snapdragon variant few days ago. Everything was working perfectly alright all of a sudden, after 1-2 days of usage the phone instantly start turning on and off. The phone just shows the Mi Logo and then turns off and it's in this constant bootloop. I wasn't able to hard reset it as pressing volume up and power button at the same time but the issue is that the language screen appear momentarily and phone just turns off again. I even tried pressing volume down and power button and the fast boot screen appears for like a fraction of second and then just goes away.
It's such a headache that I can't understand how can I get it working again.
I even sent the device to the online store that I bought it from. I packed it in the original packing and sent them. There was no way to turn the Phone off so the battery just drained and it turned off. But when the seller checked it they said that the phone is working fine. They sent it back to me, it just worked for 1 more day and it's still again in the bootloop.
I have read that when you are in bootloop then you just let the battery drain and when you charge it again. It'll start working again. If it's correct, still it's not a solution.
PS: I have not tried to root nor installed any custom rom. I just wanted to know if it's a hardware issue or I need to mess with it's firmware.

Your device is all stock and pure xiaomi. So this seems to be a battery issue. You can go to a xiaomi service center, but if that isn't possible you can even send an email to xiaomi customer care. Just provide the bill of the device, and make sure to provide all the details.

Thanks allot buddy. I'll for sure visit Xiaomi store. Thanks allot for your kind info. I am grateful.
Dear Forumites,
I have considered all available options in my capacity to attempt to fix my device mentioned above to no success. I will mention all the things I have done below so as to better inform you. But before I do that, let me give you the background of how I got here.
My device fell into water some months ago (while trying to be an hero to resque a drowning little boy, LOL). I guess I should have been more patient but I guess I got carried away by a water test I saw of this device before I bought it done by some of these reviewers and thought, Ok maybe my device too will stand this. I ignorantly put the device into plug and I am guessing I compounded its problem. Initially, I saw the red charging light come on and stayed on while the device was making a kind of sound but after I plug it in power, the device showed some screen flash and then went off. Let me mention that three devices went into the water at the same time but this one was the only one I couldn't remove the battery so the other two are fine now.
Fast forward to few days later, I waited and allowed it to dry out more but when i plugged it into power, the red ligh started to flash without stopping. So this got me searching for solutions to fixing it. I tried:
Downloading all available flash tools
Putting it in EDL mode (I am constantly finding it in 9008 in COM Ports). And when it fails, I tried all the available methods to get it back to that mode again.
I downloaded the fastboot rom and tried to flash it using several flash tools and also various methods.
Then after so much time and effort, I found a thread that says I should just let the battery die itself and then check it later. I left the device for about 2 weeks. Then one day I plugged it in and then it came up charging. I allowed it to charge to 100% then I switched it on. I guess the mistake I made was not leaving it plugged in power while it was booting up again because suddenly it seems the battery power gave out and the device went blank again.
Since then, charging it never again worked. I have left the device for a few months now and still charging it never worked again. I even purchased an extra battery to replace the old one but nothing has worked. I have tried taking the device to a local repair centre where the motherboard was cleaned, heated and still nothing worked.
Till date, when I plug the device into my system, it still recognizes the device but flashing isn't working. I am at the point now where I am considering either getting a new motherboard or just thrashing the device. Been searching online to get a Kate board but it seems that is not available to buy as all i find is the motherboad for Kenzo.
Here is my request, CAN I REPLACE THE KATE BOARD WITH THAT OF KENZO. Some sellers are telling me it will fit inside the panel but it seems they are just saying that to get my money. All the othe parts are working fine along with the extra battery and several tempered glass and cases.
Pls help me with the above so I can decide how to proceed. Thank you in advance. Attached is the image of my motherboard.

Buy new phone instead. Kenzo and kate had no good value. Replacing parts of old phone is of no worth.
Better get rn7 or rn7 pro.
My mi pad 4 turns off for no reason every 40-50 days with at least 30% battery .
Fast boot is not working. Last couple of times i tried holding & pressing random keys and eventually it came back to life.
This time i am not able to boot it up. Ive tried charging it for about 48h. Apparently its not charging either.
Does anyone have the same experience? What's wrong? What should i do about it?
Hi,
Like the mipad 1, i have the same problems with the 4..
Pressing power for 15 sec often work for me.
I recently bought one from aliexpress and i am faced with the same issue! D:
It turned on and i was able to set everything up but after about an hour the device dies (if left alone) or freezes if it happens while i'm using it and gets stuck is edl mode (computer recognizes it as a qualcomm device)
If the device freezes while i use it my pc can recognize it via ADB but says (offline) so i can not issue any commands.
the only way i'm able to get it to work is either let it sit for literally days, or let the battery drain to 0%.
I've tried re-flashing the original Chinese rom. No luck. same issue.
I've tried custom roms, issue still persists.
I'm currently messing around with it to see what it might be but i think that the retailer messed the device up when they installed their Global version on miui.
:/
I don't believe that it is the battery that is the issue because when i can get it back on w/o depleting the battery it is still at the same percentage.
Its a shame because it is a sexy device...well sexy paperweight.
I have the same issue and yes it is about 30% battery when it happens. To get it back to life I disconnect battery for a couple of seconds and it works fine for next month or two. Hope someone could find a cause of that and fix it.
I've changed battery and it seems to fix the problem. Last month before changing mipad started turning off few times a week. For now it seems ok,
