[BRICKED!] Redmi 3S where can i identify test points and force into EDL mode?

ii just got my redmi 3s and i just bricked it. it does not boot up into any splash logo, recovery or download mode, just always stays on black screen until battery dies then it flashes red if i power on. now when i plug it in to the computer the only thing that pops up is Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E which i dont need. i need qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 but no tools detect the phone other then QFIL and even when i give it all the files it just says
Code:
Start Download
COM Port number:4
Switch To EDL
Download Fail:Failed to Switch to Emergency Download mode
Download Fail:Switch To EDL FailFireHose Fail
Finish Download
i have tried touching random copper points on the board but nothing reboots the phone into EDL.

Maybe

wow thats very interesting, ill try to buy one.
been reading on it for a bit. think this can really work?

or you can purchase something called a jig i hope i spelled it properly from ebay or amazon it shorts the usb testpoints and puts your phone into edl or fastboot mode

If the test points work the cable should, maybe the other cable will work, seems strange that they say to use to deep flash cable though, sure these people know about the jig cable so wouldn't chance it.

You can buy cable in UK

of course i have tried this before.
Please bear in mind that the method of reflashing Android ROM can only works fixing soft-bricked devices and NOT for hard-bricked ones.

I softbricked my redmi 3s as well, because I disabled some google apps.
Needless to say, you have to:
1. manually update/install qualcomm driver (when your phone in download mode).
2. download a fastboot rom
3. download miphone miflash tool, enable "flash all" option when you flash the fastboot rom.
there's a thread here on xda as well. search for bricked redmi 3 workaround.

do you want to enter download mode?
pressing vol up + vol down at once (Off position), and put in the USB cable
If the phone is on turn off 1st and imediatelly put in USB cable while, press vol up+ vol down

can you enter to fastboot?

I have same problem on my Redmi 3 Pro. No fastboot, No booting, No blink red light, No Charging, but if my device plug on pc it detected QC bla.. bla.. on port device manager. I don't know what to do anymore. *hopeless* *tearr* :crying:

the only way for hard brick is test points or deep flash cable, end of, I would go with cable less chance of breaking something while taking phone apart. If the phone is detected then it's only semi hard brick and can be fixed with Mi flash tool.

http://en.miui.com/thread-254606-1-1.html
might be better.
but remeber to download the rom for your device.

That's a good valid point

REBOOT TO EDL(9008) MODE(Totally bricked zuk z2(plus))

After installing all the drivers and the flash tool the most important step is to boot the phone into edl mode or 9008 port which is very tricky step
STEPS:-
1. Power off the phone completely.
2. Press the volume up button for almost 15 sec without leaving press the power button for .5 sec (don't leave the volume button).
3. Again press the power button and hold it and immediately put the cable into the pc .
(note:- these time two buttons are pressed power button and the volume up button which was pressed in step two)
4. Leave both buttons when you receive the connection sound on the pc and check in the device manager now you connected to
the 9008 port instead of the 900E port.
(note:- step 4 can be symbolizes as you will get zuk logo flashed for a split of second after connecting the cable to the pc and
after that whole screen will be black and then after leave all the buttons and flash the phone with qpst)

Press the power button for long time about 15-20sec until notification led gose off

Additional, some bricked devices may stuck in 900E mode, just keep on pressing in power botton and your device will reboot(screen may still be black, u must stare at the display of mode of your QFIL tool) .After rebooting some times(8∽9 times normally), your device will force boot into 9008 mode (you have to release the botton in a very short time or retry above lol) .
This method isnt from me and just tested on my phone succeefull .Hope helpful to someone.

Zuk Z2 Pro Stuck in EDL HS-USB 9008 Port and automatically connecting and disconnect
Hi,
My Zuk Z2 Pro is stuck in EDL 9008 Port. Phone is totally bricked and no sound, no light, no vibration. When i connect with the computer, phone is connecting on HS USB 9008 port and get disconnected after 20-22 seconds and again automatically connected with in half second time.
I am facing this issue after flashing a ZUI 1.9 by using a QPAST/QFIL application. I think i have made stupid mistake by flashing a phone with "ERASE ALL BEFORE DOWNLOAD" option.
I have tried every scenario to get stable this 9008 port but no luck. Since last 5 days i am studying forums and applying every kind of solution but same result.
I am writing this post with high expectations and hope someone will take notice and help me to get rid of this problem.
I can pay through paypal if someone wants to provide professional services to resolve this matter
I will appreciate if someone have any idea and can help me. Thanks

The Problem is resolved. I charged my battery 7-8 Hours and flashing done at first attempt. My phone was stuck in EDL mode and Port 9008 was continues connecting /disconnecting and i was not able to complete a flashing process. Flashing by using Qfil really sucked a battery. So if someone face such kind of issue, please charge your battery for 7-8 Hours and then try flashing.

Bad flash help page Axon 7

Bad Flash
Dfu mode
Corrupt software
Password on boot
Twrp issues
Bootstack
Vendor partitions
After reading several Q&A regarding problems after flashing I thought we as a group would try to help with all the possible scenario's
Maybe some members can add their fixes to this thread?

After a bad flash on my Axon 7 A2017G
This was my recovery solution ...
Using Edl mode ...
Modding the cable by shorting the wires gives a deep edl flash ...others on XDA have done this (I didn't need to)
An edl flash can be done without modding the cable ...
Use the Miflash app ...(newest) download and install +make sure all drivers are up to date...
Download the edl package for your phone and unzip it ...
Edl mode is ... (button combo)
Turn phone off ...
Press and hold ....volup + voldn + pwr buttons for approx 10 to 15 seconds ..
You will be stuck on a black screen ...led flash red ..
Open Miflash ...
Plug your phone into the cable connected to your PC or laptop....
Miflash should detect ....if not hit refresh button...
You should see ....Com 4 or similar
"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in windows connected devices.
In the browse window choose the folder where the edl package is stored on your PC or laptop..
Then tap flash, when the flash is finished (green flash success) unplug your phone and hold the power button till it restarts.
PS,
Make sure you Download the correct edl package to suit your phone ....there are several packages on XDA.
I hope this helps in the future.
BTW I can't help with all scenarios but there are some awesome XDA members that can.

stop it with the ... will you. lol
This is redundant anyways, there are guides on how to use EDL already so you could just link people to them. Usually I link people to my DFU guide and tell them to use the last part where they already get to EDL, but I know that there are other guides specifically for EDL bricks.

You Sir are a life saver,me and my and wife thanks you.

You can restore you device using fastboot rom. Search for oos 6t fastboot rom.. There are guides for installation.
P.S. It will give a whole bunch of error in the cmd during installation but don't interrupt the process as your device will be restored in the end

Use Mnm tool to fix your phone. It can fix hard brick devices and guidance is there how to use .
PS: this is not right place post next time post on Q/A section.

Hold all the buttons down till it shuts off, almost a full minute. Then get it to boot to fastboot, power off. Then start up msm, then while phone is unplugged and off, hold both vol buttons for a 4 count, then plug it in. Msm will day connected, hit start. Let it finish and reboot. that's all

Qualcomm crashdump is not the same as download mode, and will not work with MSM. You still need to put your device manually into download mode.

Hold down every button till it shuts off, then force reboot to bootloader, then select power off to make sure it's off. Then do as I instructed above to fix it. Sometimes u can just run a fastboot rom to fix it, or boot twrp and flash a rom. I do this multiple times a day sometimes.

Thanks everyone who replied. The whole thing started when I tried to update my TWRP the wrong way and I got nothing better to do. I was on 3.2.3-1 and the newest on the website (TWRP) was 3.2.3-2, but I flashed the image instead, into vendor. This got me into the Qualcomm CrashDump Mode and it kept on rebooting to it as well. There was no way that I was be able to use the MSMDownload tool to recover my 6T as the tool couldn't detect my device as it was connected as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E not Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008.
I pressed all the buttons and got into FASTBOOT mode! Then I booted TWRP, luckily all my stuff isn't corrupted and I did a Nandroid backup beforehand as well. So, I just restored my Nandroid backup and voila I got my 6T back. Thanks again everyone

Everybody, it's called the MSMDownload Tool. It cannot be used in Fastboot Mode or Qualcomm CrashDump Mode, it can only be used in EDL Mode (Emergency Download Mode).

If your using windows search for device manager to see what your device is being detected as. Try and reboot if your device isn't Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008. Once it shows that try and update the driver, but you'll need to be a admin. Have you installed Oneplus USB Drivers?

Help I can not get in to fastboot mode. Im stuck in Crashdump mode. Even when i power off the phone holding powerbutton down for a while it will powerup again and the unlocked bootloader warning window with "press power key to pause boot" will not react to any presses.
Also booting and holding down power+down will result in the same and go to crashdump mode.

Redmi 7A Dead, No display, no fastboot, no recovery

I have some previous threads on my Redmi 7A dead... but no one responded, some did but said I can't fix it, buy a new phone. I am not in a financial condition to buy a new phone. All I can do is fix this phone and continue using it till I get a new phone. But since 3 weeks I am not able to use my Redmi 7A. I was hopeless that this phone could be repaired or could be used again but I went through a few videos on YouTube and saw a ray of hope but still I was helpless I tried booting it into EDL mode using the test point method but nothing worked out. Please I NEED HELP to fix this phone. I have a brief description below of the timeline about how it
crashed, how it was in the service center, what happened after it.
Alright so,
At March 13, It was on AOD (I know it is not supported keep reading), running nusantra os latest version for (Mi-439 aka Redmi 7A, 8) which was last updated on Dec 4, 2022. So when It was on AOD I tried to unlock the phone and it froze. So I rebooted it abnormally. After it was booting it stuck on the Redmi logo but it wasn't going ahead, not showing the boot animation. So I tried to boot it in recovery mode, when it was booting in recovery mode the phone was just shutting down and trying to reboot itself again but it couldn't. So I tried to wipe everything using fastboot commands and the command which I used was -w. So after that instead of waiting at the redmi logo it was stuck in a bootloop, in fact booting in the bootloader (fastboot mode). So after that I lost hope and gave it to the nearby service center. Please note that the phone was turning on before giving it to the service center. After like one day I went there to check if it was done, they say that it's a hardware problem, they are not able to fix it, When I came home the phone didn't boot neither in the fastboot mode nor It was turning on. So I thought it's not charged so I charged it for 1.5 hours but still there was no sign of life. I asked them about the phone not turning on they told me that it's a hardware issue and hung up the phone, said I am in a hurry I will call you later. Till this day I received no call. So Now I am posting this because I see some hope of EDL mode. I even tried to boot it in the EDL mode but still it was neither booting in the EDL mode nor my computer is detecting my phone (I have all the drivers installed). Please help ASAP.

1. does the led light up when you charge it?
2. what does you pc device manager show when you plug it in? (do you hear the windows sound?)
try every button combination that is possible. i mean two buttons at the same time, three buttons, all buttons... and for about even up to 1 minute (because this brought my 7A back from just led light when charging to pc detected a usb device)
i can't reproduce your brick but i managed to debrick via edl mode once on a "complete dead" (only led lights up when charging) so i think you can do that too.
also as long as you work with the EDL Tool, deactivate your Firewall (and don't forget to activate it again) just so be sure.
3. are you trying to enter edl mode via adb terminal? i would say you have to open the back cover and enter edl mode via hardware bridge from edl point to ground.
and as far as i can remember you have to be really quick between "starting" (booting) edl mode on the phone and make the phone "accept" edl mode. i think i first made the hardware bridge and then pluged the usb in.
i will dig deeper again in the next few days so i can give you better info's
