Unbrick your hard bricked MI 4/ Mi 3

[Rajdip]

Recently while flashing alpha version of MIUI marshmallow on my Mi 4w, my phone got completely bricked. Complete brick in the sense, it won't turn on, neither charge nor show any led indication. This guide should work on other phones also.Let's start:-

1) Although it seems like your phone wont turn on, your phone is actually working, it's just it wont show anything on the screen(no display).
Make sure your phone is charged properly(it will charge even if the led doesn't show any indication).


2) Download and install Mi flash tool and then Fastboot file of your device. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html


3) Unzip the fastboot image, a folder containing flash all.bat should appear if not, extract the extracted file again. Winrar should work fine.

4) Now open Mi flash tool(as administrator) and select the fastboot folder from Mi flash using browse option and also select the proper fastboot script according to need.
Note: Flash_all.bat will completely erase your internal storage.

5) Now press volume down(-) and power key to enter into fastboot. Note: it won't show any visual whatsoever but it'll work.

6) Connect your phone to your pc. It should show various flash devices connected to your computer and those devices may continuosly connect and disconnect. If not it'll show QHUSUB_BULK install the driver using device manager.

7) On Mi flash tool, some device name should show on the devices list if not click refresh and try reconnecting the device. Note: If you dont have proper drivers installed on your pc, this procedure won't work.

8) Finally click on flash and flashing will start. It'll take some time. Once done it'll show operation completed successfully.

9) Finally boot your device using power key.

Brick has received QHSUSB_BULK simple. This is the normal and regular encounter. Hardbrick, you must check point.

How do I put the phone into fastboot mode if it is hard bricked? It won't turn on, I get no responce from phone. When I use method connecting test point to metal cover on mother board of phone usb connects to PC and MiFlash recognizes phone. Try to flash though and I get an error message. No matter what ROM I use, zipped, unzipped or tgz file. Can my phone be unbricked? What am I doing wrong? I have a Mi Max 64GB and am using HELIUM Roms. Please help. Error message is:

The filename, directory name, or volume label is incorrect.(0x8007007b: Open programmer "MPRG*.hex").

I have no clue. Not my first time flashing ROMs or unbricking a phone. It is my first time on a Xiaomi. Only done blackberry and samsung before.

Link not working.

Using another mi flash tool also get nothing. How do I know I get into fastboot?
Already pressed volume down and power button but nothing happened. And checking fastboot devices nothing comes up. Also in mi flash tool nothing.
