Lately I was flashing mi3 trough fastboot on w7ulti64bit when something went wrong and now its cold dead.
I have been looking for solution everywhere and as usual xda is my last resort for help with phones, usually I found here what I was looking for but this time it is first time when I have to post new threat.
So basically I found that battery controller had some cold soldier on chip, whole module gives 0v while cell itself 2,8v so I think I fixed it since now whole battery module shows 3.3v and cell itself 3.8v after charging.
But im unable to wake up phone in to fastboot or any other way to reflash it.
When connected to 2000mAh charger there is solid red light, when connected to PC it lit for a second then goes off and PC recognizes mi3 as USB input device and HID compliant device.
I have tried to update drivers for those devises so miflash would recognize it and allow to flash it but without any success.
Any idea what else I could do with it, or how to force flash to flash at least boot sector?

Try mi flash tool
Main problem is that I have tried all 3 miflash I could found 2.11.6 20131108 20140509 and none of them recognizes device and I can't even initiate flashing process ;/
it sounds like a driver issue. just download all the drivers you can find for your phone.

r u following correct procedure for using MI flash tool ?
is ur Phone able to boot to FLash mode ( turn phone off > Press volume + Key then Press Power on - it will show flash mode )
Now Open MI Flash tool > Press Refesh > it will show phone now ( a number will b shown instead of name Xiamo Mi3)
Now Extract Fastboot rom to C Drive ( it should look like this C:\ROM (Location should not cointain space)
Now click Browse > advance > select C:\ROM\Folder\ select bat file
Its not drivers issue since its get detected as QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLoader 9008 or QUALCOMM HS-USB Diagnostic 9006 depending of its state.
In QDLoader it is recognized by miflash as COM20 device and I can upload by miflash or qpst boot image, then it switches to diagnostic that is recognized by some sort of string and I can upload/proceed with rest of rom flashing that includes creating partitions and writing data to them.
Main problem is that when its successfully flashed it is still cold dark, while PC can see it and all partitions like 28 of them...
And I think its related to the fact that qpst reports phone as in download mode.
Any idea how to exit that mode, like in Mi2 that was forced to enter "service" by shortening some pins to put it download mode to flash cold dead ones?

You were already looking at it
Kinda wasted a lot of Mine and Yours time and some of my money
If You got any other ideas since that time how to resurrect it just let me know.
Any solution?
Is there any solution to this problem? My phone has been cold brick for 3 days now. Doesnt boot up or charge up. Detected on connecting to PC with a sound, but Shows as Com 10 or 20 on Miflash and thus cannot be flashed.
Cannot boot into fastboot as well.
Anyone anything?

You can check the steps I took for recovering from a similar problem here: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=22811
If you have any other questions, tag me on your reply and i'll try my best to help.
Hi all, here I only want explain what happened to my phone.
2 days ago i've flashed the semi-official cm 18/11 and works fine.
Yesterday night I wanted to reboot my phone and i shutted down. Battery was about 70%.
Then I've tried to turn it on but it was died, no response from my phone. I've tried to enter in fastboot or in recovery mode but nothing. Maybe only EDL mode i think (always black screen, I don't know if it was in edl).
My pc after installing Qualcomm USB serial driver (inside the MiFlash tool), it readed my phone like Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (before like qusb_bulk).
This morning I've tried to flash global miui with MiFlash but I get an error message (surely it's my fault).
An half hour later phone is disconnected from the pc and the led started to blink.
I've plugged it in the charger and an hour later phone booted and it was in battery screen with 3%.
I don't know if yesterday battery percentuage was bugged or battery discharged in the night. (it remained connected nearly three hours at the computer).
If you want I'll export a logcat but i don't know if it's possible
From my experience, I've seen that "kind of death" on devices like Mi4 and Mi4c. Many people have gone through it.
It is rare, but can happen. The method that has worked for me was:
Connect the device via usb port to a PC.
Wait for the led light to show up. Maybe minutes, maybe hours.
Once the led light is on, inmediately connect it to a wall charger.
Else you can try to flash a fastboot rom if miflash recognizes your device via COM port.
Once it's flashed, then connect to the wall charger for an hour or so. Should come to life.
It is kinda sad to see that this issue persists on the mi5, after having seen it happen on mi4 and mi4c.
But also good to know 99% times they have a solution.
An easy working way to make the Mi5 to enter in EDL mode is to build an EDL cable for yourself.
Here is what you have to do:
1)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2)
3)
Then connect the device with this built cable for a few seconds and unplug it.
Plug it again with a NORMAL cable.
Miflash will show COM port, and now you're into EDL mode.

I hope it does not happen to me more, anyway thanks for the explanation, hope it will be useful for some other unlucky guys.

Same happened to me a few weeks ago. Completely dead no LED no screen no vibration no fastboot no nothing. Left it plugged in to wall charger for few hours - nothing. Left it plugged in to PC for a few hours nothing except qusb_bulk in device manager. Then I tried MiFlash it recognised phone on COM port and succesfully flashed the ROM but no restart, no lights, no vibration, nothing still phone has not recognised anything. Left it overnight plugged in to PC morning still nothing. Another few hours of messing around/trying and I leave it connected to my turned OFF laptop I come back in a few hours and red LED is on! Booted up straight to MIUI 8 as it had received the MiFlash without 'waking up'
So if your Mi5 dies like this without any fall (suddenly) it still might come back to life lol. Working fine since about 10 days now.

Is the only difference is merging green+black cable? And will it work with some old micro usb cable (to modify it) with usb c connector?

you can find the solution here
The easy way is the deep flash cable, but if you don't have one or cannot make one, just use the test point method, it is not hard.
Whoa! Can you explain wtf this is & why it works? I'm fascinated tho I will try leaving it plugged into PC overnight first as that sounds like a potential much easier fix...

After flashing this new CM14 ROM I was fine for a while but then while hard booting into recorver to flash some different gapps it hard bricked & PC sees it as QUSB_BULK... bizarre. Will try your method.

Did you read the links? it is definitely not recognizing because you must use deep flash cable! or use test points method.

So I have QUSB_BULK brick situation, & I am hoping I can get it to QDloader9008 like you did, because all unbrick advice I've found assumes computer is seeing it as QDloader9008. So, I got the MiFlash tool, & I found those Qualcomm driver folders, but I am a total n00b & can't figure out how to install them. Here's what I get (attached). When I click either of those items I get a warning about opening a system file, then an app chooser that doesn't look promising. Help?

Hello,
Sorry for this little necroposting, but I think another experience can help general awareness about the issue.
Had the exact same problem few weeks ago (phone won't boot after turn off), let it over night unplugged, when I woke up the battery was flat (blinking red led), I plugged it back to a charger and it booted up.
My phone is working like a charm this then, hope I won't have this problem again.
Cheers,
My phone few days ago jus died while watching youtube. No fastboot, no recovery, zero reaction. I succesfully flashed global stable rom (tried also dev china and gobal) va MiFlash using EDL mode. After flash I disconnected phone from PC and it's dead. I tried unplugging battery and it's the same. When I connect to wall charger yellow/green LED appears and nothing more. Pressing Power button does nothing. What can I do?
@Mayex, did you find a solution? I'm having the same issue, I can boot in EDL mode, and I the flash goes without issues, but I can't boot the phone, the screen is always black.

Unfortunately, motherboard is dead. We can do nothing. Probably GPU is burned because of poorly designed cooling in Mi5.

Hi everyone, I have a Lenovo zuk z2 pro, and it does not go out of EDL mode
I've tried everything, all the possible key combinations, it also has no indication of any led on, it just gets the screen all black and does nothing else, when I connect it to the USB port, QFIL recognizes it in the EDL 9008 mode, can anyone help me please?
Thank you in advance for your attention.

How can a broken port ( or do u say all ports?) recognize the phone with 9008, but is unable to flash?
They apparently work, but the copy of the files don't finish 100% in qfil app, I had Sahara error, but when I tried in the computer of my cousin, everything worked ok and I could make the installation of the stock room by qfil normally.
I have been using the phone for almost two years, without any problem, with a ROM from xiaomi.eu.
One day the phone suddenly went off, and I couldn't turn it on again. When I plugged it into the PC it recognized it as QLoader HS-USB 9008. I tried to flash another ROM but could not go into fastboot mode.
I decided to open it and unplug the battery, in case it was still on and without a screen, and when I reassembled it, I was able to go into fastboot mode and flash. MiFlash never gave the termination notice, and since then the phone has not responded, the computer does not recognize it, nor does it react to anything (it no longer recognizes it as QLoader HS-USB 9008). I've tried an EDL cable to do deep flash, but it doesn't work either.
I have read that there are some test points to start EDL mode, but I don't know if it will work. Do you know if it would work for this case? I also haven't managed to find a good manual to do this.
Any other idea?
Thank you very in advance.
