Redmi 2 Fully Hardbricked(No recovery,no fastboot) - Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers

I flashed LineageOS 7.1 alongside its firmware.Everything went smooth,the ROM works perfectly fine until I restored back to MIUI 8 KitKat.My Redmi2 would just constantly beep non-stop.It wont boot,not even the MI logo is shown.I cant access to recovery(power+up+down) and fastboot doesn't also work.My PC couldn't detect too,it wont even charge just the beeps.So I spent literally the whole day of in-depth research,despite our upcoming exams just to revive my beloved phone.This is my main driver,so it would take me months to get a new phone.So I saw this guide and thought it might work.Whats your thoughts? Should I give it a try?
http://en.miui.com/thread-100553-1-1.html
Basically its all about placing a copper wire or a tweezers that will connect two testpoints located near the dual sim card tray.This trick is also used to revive the miPad
I am looking forward for a response.

remove battery from phone and again put battery and now connect USB cable in PC and open mi flash tool and click refresh and if it will show something like com10 or com4 or usrbug like then just flash any fastboot ROM ...

My R2P was also bricked so I could fix it by using same method of testpoint.

Have you fixed it already?

OK then plug USB in PC and open mi flash and click flash and see...

I told you before brother, PC will never recognize your device until you install driver via testpoint method. No other ways..have a try....

Hi Syrian Eagle,
You should
Boot into "Download Mode"
start odin / heimdall
connect with computer via USB
load Stock firmware files
click on "Flash"- / "Start" - Button (I can't remember how is called)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
You could use this tutorial..you'll find package with Samsung drivers etc..make sure you have uninstalled old drivers & rebooted before installing new ones.
Also make sure you have working USB cable etc.

Thanks for your help but my problem is when i connect my phone in download mode or regular mode the pc doesn't see my phone and my phone doesn't say any thing (like if he is not connected) i think not a driver issue because previously i connect the phone into ODIN but now after flushing the paranoid ROM this problem appear .

If you have come from a GingerBread ROM that would be correct.
ICS/JB ROMS USE DIFFERENT DRIVERS
Now follow the advise and reinstall the samsung drivers and try again.

Turn off the phone, remove battery, wait 1 minute, put the battery back and restart the phone. Then connect the phone to your pc and see if that helped.

Every possible reason and solutions that I am aware of, for them are mentioned on that link , you have to try and test each one out, including various Drivers, for you to test...
BUT you keep saying there was no Sign of connection, which means the PC does not say anything (like unknown USB Device) or make a sound and your USB icon does not appear on the phone...am I correct???
That simply means there is NO link, which means, its either your USB cable or USB Port is damaged

What about drivers? Trying new cable? If you flashed some ROM, kernel could be bugged - not allowing connection with PC. In your case I would reflash stock newest ROM. In my case the newest ROM (8.1) is good for me. Everything works good and connecting to PC too.

The owner of the phone must have somehow corrupted something - kernel, ROM, drivers... I dont know but something must be bad. Not sure how to fix it.

I guess you cant, but you can try to update with the updater in the settings. Does it have some custom ROM or stock?
Did you install drivers for your phone? As far as I know, it must be done for every connected phone manually. What do you see in device manager when you connect your phone while it's on and in fastboot mode?

Problem with charging

Hello,
I have a problem with charging battery in Xiaomi Redmi 3s. I connect it with many cables ang chargers but - it shows a bolt on battery icon, LED is on but percetage of charging don't change. So its no charge or charge very, very slow.
When phone is turned on and I connect it to PC is not recognized :/
When phone is turned off and I connect it to PC I can charge it - but it's not what I want
I thought that it's probably problem with USB or something so I replace charging pcb but nothing changed
Any ideas what is faulty? Battery?
Do one thing.
Delete batterystats.in from data/system.
If that doesn't help flash fastboot ROM.

Fastboot problem.

I just bought my gf this phone and was planning to install a rom, but im facing a little problem, Im on a win 10 computer the phone was recognized immediately, adb comanda work well. When I try to use the xiami unlock it doesn't work. I tries with different cables and ports. Seems like the fastboot loses connection or something like that.
When I enter fastboot and type fastboot devices it show the device, if I do it again it show ????? device and if I do it again it doesn't show at all.
Some times when I do the first fastboot devices it jump to the last part and only give me the option to shutdown with any key....
Can anyone help me with this?

Ok m8 thanks, I tried before with another computer but, the driver didn't work. I will try with another :good::good:
If anyone has another suggestion?
After, trying with another computer, and unistalling the drivers and installing them by hand it worked. I have to wait now 7 days to unlock the bootlader thanks!

Pc cant detect fastboot device

Tried miui 12 and after flashing rom the twrp is gone I tried to reflash it the same way I did first but sadly when I'm on fastboot PC can't detect it. also tried it with other softwares but same result. Device is fine and responds when open but not in fastboot mode. Currently running miui 11 .0.6 China stable. Stucked. Also all drivers are updated
Same here.
I accidentally flashed china stable 11.0.4 zip rom on my global device through twrp and upon booting up twrp was gone and when i plug in usb the pc doesn't detect anything. In order to make pc detect the phone via usb cable i have to reboot phone while plugging usb to laptop that way file transfer option shows up in laptop and adb works but fastboot doesn't work i can force boot to fastboot through adb but upon booting to fastboot the pc stucks at waiting for device. All the drivers are installed
Currently on china stable 11.0.6
Same issue indeed
That's exactly what's happening right now. I hope someone can help us
Quote me if u find any luck.
Same issues
That happens me sometimes. I only reboot the device into fastboot again, reboot the computer, and that it. This may change depending on your computer CPU, mine is AMD. And ussually I have to use a 2.0 USB or if it still does not work a USB 2.0 hub. I know the hub thing is strange but it worked for me when my pc does not detect the phone in fastboot. Hope it helps .
With my PC I have to open device manager, look for the device, usually has a yellow sign next to it. Right click on the device name, click update driver, click browse my computer for driver software, click let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer and pick mtp USB device. Then I read it. I hope this helps.

I use a usb hub that is very old i guess, as it uses MiniUSB. By the way with multiple computer it should work, your error is very strange, I never saw it. A thing that may work is trying to use fastboot on a Linux system (no, with VMs no). So if you can flash a pen drive with a Ubuntu ISO or any linux distro, boot linux,install fastboot and check if it detects your phone.

Read my 1st reply to this op
Even file transfer option doesn't show up if i connect my phone via usb to laptop.
In order to make pc show file transfer option i have to reboot phone while connecting the phone to pc so.
That way i can use adb but as soon as i boot to fastboot via cmd pc doesn't detect the fastboot mode.
Tried with 3 laptops
Issue Fixed

Dude I fixed it and I managed to flash global and maybe reflash EU when miui 12 stable arrive
Try another type c cord preferable the original one. I just change the cord and everything went fine fastboot can now be detected via "fastboot devices".
