Super Hard Brick for Redmi 3s, Need Help - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

um.... i am trying to use the MiFlash and it went into some error and now my phone has nothing (no recover, no roms) and can't get into the download mode if i hold the vol + and vol - and power button (keep rebooting)
when i connect to MiFlash program it didn't show my device too
I can't turn off my phone and stuck at "MI" logo
can someone help me out please and let me know what to do?
thanks

I finally solve the problem but i am getting the following when i try to flash the china dev rom
"not enough storage is available to process this command..."
what should i do?
I am currently flashed the SpaceX one but couldn't unlock my bootloader when I hit 50%, i have the unlock permission from xiaomi

wait, wait, wait...
First, you try to flash china dev or spacex?
And to enter download mode, press power and volume +
the only way i find to flash new rom with locked bootloader is to use miflash BETA
P.S. : If you have the mi logo at boot you can go to download mode

um......thanks it work flashing the china dev rom to my phone using the beta but......
actually it won't let me go into the download mode cuz the recovery is gone and when i press vol + and vol- and power together it won't go into the download mode too
so i dig up the internet and found that you can go into fastboot mode and type "fastboot oem edl" in the cmd and it work some how
um... i have the permission to unlock my phone but how come when i do the unlock it can't go pass 50 percent and asked me to try again? is there something wrong?

Ah i see what happen, I have to login my phone with mi account first and unlock the bootloader
Thanks the miflash beta it's very helpful

Zuk Z1 Soft Brick

Dear XDA friends,
i always hoped not to be one of those guys, who f****d up their phones to the point of no return. I really screwed up this time. Well, here I'am writing you about my screw up.
I unlocked, rooted, flashed and repaired all kinds of android phones in the past years, never without problems, but I could always fix it somehow. Not so much this time.
Now I'm stuck at Bootscreen with the Zuk logo. I even have problems pinging the phone via ADB.
Sorry for my noobish question guys. Any help would be much appreciated.

I got this translated from a chinese website:
For fastboot mode:
The phone turned off; keep the connection turned off the data cable to the computer, press: [volume down key] [Power Key] waiting to enter the fastboot mode.
For recovery:
Turn off the device
Press and hold Power key
When vibrates Volume UP key + Volume Down key about 10 seconds
Release all key when Android logo appear then you will see Android System Recovery
Use Volume key to select Menu
Use Power key to Confirm
Can you enter any of these 2 modes?

The bootloop is just showing the ''ZUK logo'' in the middle of screen and "'powered by Android logo'' below,and the phone vibrates everytime it flashes these logos. I tried QFIL but it can only detects the unit on the first boot or first flash that is 2 secs. only from the time i press the power button, and then it disconnects and not detect the unit again. Does anyone know where can i find the scatter file , MTK ROM for zuk z1, i would like to try the SP flasher tool. Or if anyone have any idea how to solve this issue on lenovo zuk z1,pls. help.tnx
Can y get to fastboot ?
im facing the same problem after i had the stupid idea to lock the bootloader again, before that i flashed the phone successfully with the cm mod recovery and cm 13.
Has anyone found a solution to this ? or do i have to send it back ?
What i did exactly :
I locked the bootloader again and just to test it i tried flashing the recovery again , ofcourse it didn't work which was what i wanted.
Afterwards i rebootet the bootloader with sudo fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot
now im stuck in a bootloop that i cant even stop , in other words i cant turn my phone off nor can i access the recovery or fastboot
Im feeling so stupid that i locked it again .... i will try to get into recovery after my phone ran out of battery but so far it looks quite bad...does anyone know if i will get a replacement even though it was my fault ? ( i don't need to say that it was my fault ..and the bootloader is now locked again )
UPDATE::
I found a promising thread about this problem, i will report back here if i was successful.

Please help , same problem
I am facing same issue too from 2 days. I didnt even try to flash custom roms or play with boot loader or recovery or anything. All of a sudden my phone entered boot loop. After two three bootloops phone is entering "12 apps optimized of 230 apps" mode, completing optimizing all apps and then failing to start apps, entering boot loop again.
Effort made so far to fix -
1) Went to recovery and cleared cache - didnt work
2) Went to recovery and did factory reset - factory reset did happen but boot loop didnt stop, I realized that factory reset happened because now its saying optimizing 120 apps instead of my 230 apps during the bootloop.
3) Went to recovery, Entered fast boot mode but not able to connect to PC. Fastboot devices is not showing anything. I made sure proper driver is installed after researching on XDA.
4) Went to recovery, Tried "Install update". Didnt install anything but browsed through folder structure and realized my data is intact
It will be great if someone can help me atleast recover my data before I handover phone to service center for fixing boot loop issue.
Same problem

Sorry For Re-posting Here. This is Solution
Why this is happening ?
Due to Dirty Flash from Zui or from COS/CMOD but suddenly Bootloader gets locked
May be Due to Some Custom Rom which only works with Old Bootloader ( And you are on latest 2.5 Zui QPST Flash)
Reasons are many. I also did same mistake. I flashed ZUI 2.5 using QPST then unlock bootloader using official site installed twrp after wiping cache system and data , Installed Lineage 0S JAN Build then without rebooting installed Lineage Nightly build (Latest) with Gapps After rebooting Phone goes into Restart endless loop on ZUK Logo. Blink and Vibrate .. After 1hr I figured it out but its 5am So slept.
HOW TO FIX ENDLESS REBOOT ON ZUK Logo ?
-> Identity vibrate patterns (Press Power Key I count 6- 7 Vibration pattern ) After long Vibrate immediately remove finger from power key.
->Once its Done (Phone completely off)
Download QPST and Official COS QPST from this Link https://goo.gl/InWQji OR https://goo.gl/iqrnlI (I am personally Very Thankful to D tech Terminal for posting Wonderful video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dl6JkAVpuM
<- please install all drivers and software.->) @ankurpandeyvns Thanks bro.
Main Task is here and Lots of Patience is required and You also need to be very Blazing fast to achieve this.
-Once you download and install Qpst open Qfil
-Now press Volume Up only and connect USB (Just press POWER KEY only for 1 sec It will vibrate and connect)
-Without waiting hit Download button.
-Voila It will start flashing your phone again and Hence Your phone is now Revive..
-Once Revive You can use it to again flash custom Rom or stick to stock Rom if you want.
Keep Flashing !!!
Patience is Key here. And Don't lose hope.
:good:
EDITED:
While connecting to pc and by pressing Volume key you also need to press Power key for 1 sec or 2 sec until it gets detected. Thanks addicted777 (for tip)

how to factory reset a pattern locked phone

Hi. yesterday i bought a redmi 3s... i have put a pattern which i forgot and also a fingerprint unlock... the fingerprint unlock was working, until i tried other fingers to see if it could be fooled... obviously after too many tries, the fingerprint unlock won't unlock the phone without the unlock pattern... is there a way to hard reset such a phone ore delete user settings... i tried volume up + power button to acess the recovery menu, but when i acess it i get a weird menu saying:
your device has loaded a different operating system
for more info visit g.co/placeholder
if no key is pressed:
your device will boot in 5 seconds
if i press volume up or down, i get this menu:
power off
restart
recovery
fastboot
back to previous page
recovery and back to previous page return to the same screen mentioned above....
please help! :crying:
also, when i connect my phone in any mode to my computer via usb cable (download mode, fastboot mode, normal mode) i hear the usb connect sound but no folders open. I'd like to get to pictures made in the last 24 hours (thats the only thing you can acess without the pattern unlock on the side swipe menu).
You can still use the usb when boot using fastboot, just move to another port of usb in your PC/Laptop etc, for unlocking pattern :

Need help with bricked redmi 7a

so i need to somehow revive my redmi 7a from its grim state. Everything started with scuffed attempt at downloaded system update that resulted in a loop of turn on-update up to some %-freeze-repeat. when i tried to do something with it it resulted in total hard-lock. all my phone can do now is turn on greet me with a logo screen with android at the bottom then that same screen without the android logo and it stays there for indefinite amount of time. fastboot's not opening so does recovery mode, all that i can do is turn it on and stare at the logo screen. please somebody help

does this mean you have tried the power-button + volume-up to enter recovery mode and the power-button + volume-down to enter fastboot-(bootloader-)mode?
i once had success with a bricked redmi by pressing the combinations for about 3 minutes until it managed to enter recovery mode. and make sure that your phone is completely full charged.
have you already tried the "Mi_Flash2020" application for Windows? here is the link: https://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
rom files if needed: https://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1900369
maybe the "miflash_unlock..." application could also help you. i think it uses fastboot but give it a try. here is the link: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html (if you have unlocked bootloader make sure you to uncheck the "lock device" option at the bottom)
more questions if you can't solve it:
is twrp installed?
was there an original miui rom intalled?
was it a ota update?

$25 Paypal TO *YOU* for fixing VKY-L29 boot issues / possibly brick

Hey guys,
A friend of mine handed me a phone I used a few years ago - a Huawei P10+. The problem is, it won't boot. A friend offered a small bounty - so I thought I'd extend that small bounty to people here for immediate assistance. If you take Paypal, there $25 USD up for grabs if your links/instructions and assistance lead to unbricking - correct booting of the phone....
WHAT WE KNOW:
- VKY-L29 dual sim phone
- Previously been successfully rooted and was functioning fine
- Previous User may have tried wiping EVERYTHING (unsuccessfully, obviously) for re-installation of stock ROM
THE PROBLEM:
The phone displays the white/orange text screen, stating "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. To learn more visit: http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore
(1) Press power to continue .... nothing happens when pressed
(2) Press volume up for 3 secs to enter ERecovery to restore your device ... this works, but CANNOT download, or fails to download package over WIFI (only other options are to shutdown/reboot)
(3) Your device will continue to boot 5 seconds later if no operation ... nothing happens, it just hangs on this screen - even when prompt shows "Your device is rebooting now"
It doesn't matter if this stays rooted or not, we just need to successfully reinstall the STOCK ROM and booting/functioning normally.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Regards

Boot in eRecovery by holding the Volume Up button, after booting in eRecovery just download the latest package via connecting to a Wi-Fi network and it should boot up just fine.

Try downloading an older firmware extract the contents of the .app file using huawei firmware extractor and flash system.img recovery_ramdisk.img oeminfo.img product.img and vendor.img using fastboot and if the phone boots up just update it to a newer firmware, that's how i did it to my P10 Plus, it didn't wanna download via eRecovery too, sorry for the misunderstanding i forgot that it doesn't wanna download for you, i don't have the device with me now because i broke my display (again) so it's getting fixed but it won't be done untill saturday, i'll upload the firmware i used so that you can try too.
if the bootloader is unlocked flash twrp using the command: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "path to TWRP.img"
after flashing type: fastboot reboot and immediately start pressing the Volume Up and power button untill the HUAWEI logo shows up, after booting to TWRP flash oeminfo.img using the install option in TWRP, after that reboot and try downloading the firmware using eRecovery again, hopefully this time it will let you download it.

Dude pls wait don't try this i found another way, i bricked my phone accidentally today and i found a way, gonna take me some time to explain but i'll try my best.
So first of all download this firmware here extract it on your pc and boot to bootloader and flash TWRP_kirin.img to recovery_ramdisk, after that reboot the phone and boot in recovery via holding the volume up and power button, when in TWRP copy the dload folder from the firmware you extracted on your pc to your phone after that copy the RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img to your phone and flash it as recovery ramdisk via the install option in TWRP, power off your phone and press and hold the volume buttons and the power button and wait for it to boot and let it install the update, i really hope this helps you, it helped me after struggling with it all day long.
Hi Lester, it's been an eternity since I was online here as I put this on the back-burner with more pressing work and family priorities. Thank you very much for providing the files. I noticed the ROM firmware is EU, when i am outside of EU....but shouldn't be too big of a problem.... I am getting around to doing all of this now, I have downloaded the files. When are you typically online to chat about this?
RoOSTA
It cannot boot into TWRP, only the eRecovery. No option to flash anything on SD card, other than connecting to WIFI...
Hii roosta,
I might have some problem with you, let me facing your thread , I 'like to learn too how to make my P1o plus back to normal again, it's being long time for me to bring this up...

Oneplus 8 Pro cycling through bootloader options

My Oneplus 8 Pro is cycling through the bootloader options as if I am holding the volume up button. I tried MSM tool back to stock to try to fix the problem but it keeps happening. If anybody knows a fix for this issue please let me know! Thank you!
Edit: I discovered this while trying to install Evolution X 7.1 ROM and got stuck in the bootloader
I am having a similar issue with my Oneplus 8, were you able to find a fix for this?
My Op8 pro have the same issue, but fastboot commands are working so i just write command fastboot reboot bootloader.
It reboots to the same screen with "Start", and i can select with vol down/up options, but sometimes vol up still gives weird response like it will be holding still and cycles through all options. Mostly fastboot reboot bootloader in my case solves the problem, and fastboot mode have proper response to keys.
Second question is: why do you need not shuffling bootloader? To select option? If yes, then you can select most of the options through commands (even if options are switching like crazy) like:
fastboot reboot recovery
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot
and there's moooore and more options ^_^
Show barcode have no command from what i know.
I got around that by unplugging the phone before you boot to fastboot. It seems to work fine when it is not plugged in your computer.
