I am in the same situation, I flashed manually different partition and got it wrong.
It booted with black screen all the way but QHSusb was working, EDL, emergency.
I soft-repaired, and then thougt it was unbrickable, but I was wrong.
I flash for fun modem.bin and it booted up. But later I flash a big-rom-update-zip in TWRP and then changed the boot-slut from B to A and restarted from recoverymode but DEAD, complete dead, nothing appears on the screen or devicemangar.
then it didn't boot at all.
I have a home-made cable and tried different button-combinations and cable-connected-combination during boot but nothing work.
Either I have destroyed QHSUSB-modem, ( I don't know if it is software related on UFS-storage or if the Qualcom-emergency-MODEM have a different chip that boots up.
Maybe I have incompatible critical-partitions from different rom?!
The last resort is to brake/carefully open the screen-glas on short the electricity from some chips and force the QHS-usb-mode, emergency mode. I have the Firehose.elf file that will help, and the partitions and patch0 file. But need to force boot inte Qualcomm-EDL , But how?
My chip-family-SOC is MSM9889 ta-1012, NB1-softwares-firmwares

I need the Firehose.elf file that will help, and the partitions and patch0 file,can you seed it to me?

short ur motherboard to enter EDL mode... i can provide EDL point if u want... after short the board HS... 9008 drive will show..update the drive to Qloader 9008.. than u can flash ur device with OST tool emergency mode.. choose firmware before july 2018.

[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:

COM Port number:4
Switch To EDL
Download Fail:Failed to Switch to Emergency Download mode

i have tried touching random copper points on the board but nothing reboots the phone into EDL.

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

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-235865-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-254606-1-1.html
might be better.
but remeber to download the rom for your device.

You can eventually try to disconnect battery, reconnect it and then try to boot into fastboot.
But DFC should help.

You can't flash Stock ROM with TWRP, you should try flashing other ROM.

Do you have your efs?
Hello, I had a very little progress. I gave up about my asus zenfone max a year ago but glad that now looks like there's a hope in reviving my phone. I was able to download the right files to flash with QFIL. Most people here say that their PC detected QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 but mine detect it as QUALCOMM HS-USB DIAGNOSTICS 9006. Due to excitement, I flashed it anyway and it created some memory partition on my hard drive whenever I plug the phone but QFIL gave me an error of :
** Download Fail: Switch To EDL Fail Failed to switch to Emergency Download Mode
I tried to google this error, some encountered it and was able to get a resolution by just removing the battery before plugging it in but our zenfone is with non removable battery. I have no luck yet. Anyone got suggestions ?

[SOLVED]hard brick

I tried to flash mi 5x rom on A1 and it is in hard brick ... what to do now?
What do you mean by "hard brick", can't you boot into fastboot?
try using power + volume down
Guys, don't flash roms from other devices, the mi 5x has a single partition mode not a/b like we have, you might have overwritten the bootloader...
if you get nothing on screen try hooking it up to the PC and see under device manager if you get qualcomm 9008 mode

If not your device is prob done.. learn your lesson and only flash stock or other software tested by people here, never flash something for another device even if the hardware is similar

I think Mi A1 not that difficult to get hard brick. Can you still get into fastboot? That day I try to re-lock bootloader with root lol. Also got bricked, appear as Qcom_USB_hulk something like that, but luckily still manage to get into fastboot.

device bricked by itself..? unable to boot or charge

i shut down my device by tapping power off. then removed sim card and sd card after screen went black. but when i tried to power on, it doesnt respond.. i tried holding the power button for 10s, it gives me a black screen and vibrates and instantly closes again.. so i cant boot into recovery, i cant boot to fastboot, and its unreadable on pc, it doesnt charge, no bootlogo, nothing. just bricked..
.
i dont know why, but it just bricked by itself.. i've been using mokee 9 date of 1/1/2020 thats the last update i installed, with add on su and everything was working perfectly and even if i reboot multiple times..
bootloader was unlocked so xiaomi centers wont help me..
how is it possible to make it boot again? i mean like wtf even happened? i did nothing.. i didnt flash anything and system was READ ONLY before powering off.. all i did was remove sim and sd cards... even after flashing mokee updates yesterday, it booted normally and idk what's going on..
any help?
EDIT: the phone's hard disk IC was damaged. I went to a tech guy and he changed it but then the motherboard broke entirely after flashing the qcn file for imei. Device out of warranty of course because of the damn bootloader. Thank you xiaomi for the great phone that only lasted one month before dying completely.
attempt 2
in attempt 1 i tried force reboot as mentioned, didnt work
attempt 2 : i tried force reboot while plugged to pc, this showed up
attempt 3
i tried to flash a new firmware, but device unreadable. must be on fastboot mode for mi flasher to be able to read it. im starting to lose hope.. the device is new though it makes me sad
on some topic of a bricked phone online, someone mentioned that he should try EDL mode, by cmd command FASTBOOT OEM EDL
so i tried it many times until it said successful. but still didnt fix anything, because it didnt actually boot into EDL mode, had to open my device physically and use test points. so attempt 4 failed
does this mean fastboot works?
after attempt 4, it said successful so if fastboot works like that then i can flash stock boot.img or something.. right? which image should i start with

this is the forum of the bricked phone similar to mine, except that i didnt try any flash like him it just happened randomly

attempt 5
attempt 5 failed, i tried flashing whole firmware one by one, i started with vbmeta, then recovery but it failed. idk what to do
notice
i have noticed that it only flashes small img files, if its 100kb or more it will fail. maybe due to device restart because the only way to make it read in fastboot mode is to force restart multiple times until it flashes. what to do now?
attempt 6
so according to this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJoIiLE_w3w
he installed a driver (name in attachment) then refreshed on mi flash so his device became readable on mi flasher
i tried that but it didnt work.
final attempt.. out of hope
found the possible solution. its called a deep flash cable, i will just go to any tech guy and ask him for help.
see attachment for info.

In order to enter test point / EDL / 9008 mode, you have to physically open your device and connect two points on the phone's board. Search on YouTube for Redmi 7a EDL. If you get to EDL mode, you can flash original stock firmware via MiFlash.

Yes, I hate tearing up my device so I took it to a professional. He failed to open ADL but he did the 9008. Now he waits some kind of credit. Not sure if for the app to work or for the bootloader to unlock, although it was already unlocked but maybe somehow got locked..
Any way, expected reason for brick is either latest magisk module, or kernel tweaks..
I gave the device to a professional, but he also failed to flash it even with test point. He said he was searching for a file.. I dont remember its name, something like IMOH..
Now I need to know any possible reason that might brick my phone again to avoid it

The app he used was called ultimate multi tools
test point attempt failed
i did the test point, booted to 9008 mode but still nothing.
i think i know why the phone got bricked by itself, it got ARB stands for AUTOROLLBACK
read more about it here https://mi-globe.com/unbrick-your-xiaomi-phone-without-authorized-mi-account/
bootloader got automatically locked again.
Never lock the bootloader if:
- your phone was delivered Chinese version and you flashed Global firmware
- your phone was delivered Global version and you flashed Chinese firmware
- you changed system, vendor, boot or recovery partition
- you installed a custom or modified stock rom
ARB isn't an issue with this phone I suppose. Because I was on 11.0.5 and rolled back to 10.2.5 without problems.
Have you tried MiFlash Pro?

It seems that error is related to your computer. Reinstall drivers and MiFlash.

but im sure i have all drivers installed in fact i used mi flash more than once and it worked perfectly fine, and i swear i didnt try to lock it or anything, what happened is, mokee auto updates installed add on magisk and it was the latest version so i think this might have bricked it. idk..
ok i downloed all the drivers and reinstalled them, same error : "library not registered"
