This guide is for you

Phone will remain a black screen in the Device Manager, the new device will be Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9006/9008, and Windows about 7 new flash devices. Simply close all offers their formatting. Reboot the PC (required on Windows 10, or sections will not be able to unmount when flash).

Oh Dear!...my ignorance amuses me...i have realized how ignorant i have been in closing those format prompts from windows when my Mi3 was connected to PC...i was lost in a pool of thoughts of what had gone wrong...Just a line made me realize it...of all the tuts i read this is the best and most precise to the problem..if u know what all those tech jargon meant....my mi3 has a second life now and will be obliged to the OP for the rest of its life here in India we're so crazy abt "life saviour" that we may even build a temple for ya.. Kudos matie:angel::highfive:

Stuck in Fastboot cant flash

Hi,
I am novice at flashing and stuff.
My Mi4 was stuck at Mi logo. I tried searching and found fastboot flashing. However, I can not fastboot flash using neither MiFlash not MiPCSuite.
MiFlash I get error Unspecified Error(0x8000405:FAILED (remote: flash write failure))

Then I searched again and came to this thread, and as per my understanding I need to follow 9006 mode instructions. but this seems too technical for me. Can you explain the 9006 mode in a step by step mode so I can follow.

Thanks in Advance.


If device hangs on Mi logo and cant flash via fastboot / problems after re-partition / defined as QHSUSB_BULK

If you touched anything from the name of the spoiler and the previous instruction does not help, then our task will be to move into 9006 mode (if your smartphone is already defined as QHSUSB_BULK, you can go directly to the firmware).

On a device located in fastboot write in the console:

fastboot erase aboot 
  fastboot reboot

MiFlash Run as Administrator, click the button "Refresh", this will be a new device like this

Choose the folder with the firmware, click the button "Flash". After ~ 160 seconds, the firmware is completed, to restart, hold the power button.

If in MiFlash nothing appeared
1. Make sure that the device appears in the Device Manager, if not:
1) Connect the USB cable to the motherboard (ie "behind")
2) Put the device on charge for at least two hours and try again

Device in 9008 mode

Here things can be a little tricky, but it depends only on your particular case.
It may be necessary short-circuit test points

Possible errors in MiFlash

EE: Access is denied. (0x80070005: Dismount volume ...)
AA: Restart your laptop, connect the device to a different usb port
EE: Reached the end of the file. (0x80070026: Receiving hello packet)
AA: Need a short-circuit of the test-points, change the cable, use a different computer

Try to boot into fastboot. Even if only the Mi Logo is up, try to check if your phone is actually in fastboot or not. Install the drivers needed and open command prompt. Type in:
fastboot devices

Tried all of that. But not able to boot into miui also. I used Mi Flash, used fastboot commands but my internal storage partition says 0mb in TWRP. Even tried formatting the partitions when it showed up on windows.

m?

Sorry? The phone was not able to go into bootloader. so I flashed miui latest with mi flash. Went into fastboot and flashed it again. But it's not booting up. When I use twrp as recovery, it says internal memory 0mb. I think the partition tables are messed up. I was on the new partition layout.

Brick is not recognizable through shell on Win7 (Mac VM)

Thx for the great guide!

But ive reached my limits i guess^^

Yesterday evening i screwed up while applying the latest Update (through update.zip via twrp... my bad)

After reading into this problem i spent the whole night figuring first XP-VM (poor crap on Parallels for Mac) without getting any positive results.
Now ive moved on to Win7, which seems to serve me well, but i still got the Problem:

If in MiFlash nothing appeared
1. Make sure that the device appears in the Device Manager, if not:
1) Connect the USB cable to the motherboard (ie "behind")
2) Put the device on charge for at least two hours and try again

Ive got the latest drivers, adb, miflash and misuite installed properly. Also my brick is perferctly recognized as Bulk Host with 7 devices.
It has beencharging the whole night on different chargers from 0,5a to 2a. I tried 7 different cables. Restartet the VM many times.

But my device is nevertheles unrecognized via ADB / Fastboot. Has anybody any suggestions left for me? I´d appreciate some new ideas how to move an from now. Thanx in advance, cheers!

Finally, only testpoint method worked out.

I have flashed BeanStalk-6.19-20160713-cancro with banks_dynamic_gapps-6.x.x-20160729 and my phone crashed into a bootloop the next day during playing Pokemon Go. Keeps rebooting so quick I'm unable to get into recovery. Tried flashing trough fastboot and also did everything in this topic, but my MI3 keeps rebooting (flashing MI logo). Any ideas?

Just press and hold volume up + power for 20-30 seconds. It will boot into recovery regardless of what the screen shows. Another possibility is you have faulty buttons which happened to me last few months where my power button is held down all the time (the button was not pressed in. I could still hear the clicky sound and feel the satisfying click.)
