Hey guys, I am in a big fuss here, I was flashing new MIUI MM 6.0 and it was taking to long to flash.. I was very sleepy then and I accidentally fell a sleep. The battery was at 88% when I started doing it. So I guess the flashing must have finished by the time the battery ran out.

Now I have kept it for charging for over 2 hours and it dint turn on. Then I tried going to fastboot or recovery, dint work. Then I connected it to the PC to see if the phone is on but the display is somehow dead and WALLA!!! It gets connected. BUT there is a catch, it now shows me SIX different drives out of which 2 drives I can access. I dont know whats going on! Someone please help me. I have to travel 450 km for service center.

same problem here, I flashed SMIUI it says cant mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc,. I just let on that screen, and it displays installing SMIUI system. It finishes but phone died after that.
Now same problem with the OP, no power, no fastboot mode, no recovery, when connect to a pc it displays many Drive windows. Please help.
Now I managed to removed the battery still the same no power.

Help please guys.

Faced same problem (soft brick) , steps followed to fix it
  • Connected to PC to check if the phone is still alive or hard bricked (yep it was , i got a lot of new driver pop ups)
  • I went through some MIUI forum and understood that MM roms have script which changes partition size over stock partition , hence the soft brick if u flash it in extended partition
  • Downloaded an old fast boot room (MIUI 7 kitkat) and tried to flash it using MIflash tool , but faced another issue in WIN 10 OS.
  • To fix it had to install latest qualcomm drivers for MI3 and flashed the rom in Safe mode(win10).
  • Now you can either flash fastboot rom or recovery zip after you change the recovery.
