Hello

While flashing in Miflash i get some error. After that my MI is brick. When I plugin it to PC is discoverd by driver ive used to access with Miflash but looks like im unable to get into fastboot mode so Miflash dont see phone at all.. I saw that there is an option to connect some pins at motherbord to "froce" phone into this mode but i couldnt find any information about it for that exact model.

Do anybody can share with me any information how i can solve that problem? Maybe there is way to fix it without opening the phone? Or if opening is the only way, any pics or shema what exacly i should connect and in which order to force phone into fastboot?

Pls help. Its brand new phone :(

Go to

En.miui.com/thread-245347-1-1.html

There are instructions there.

Like u mentioned, connecting the pins is the only one I know of.

There is a video there to for help. See if that works.

I hope u get it up and running coz I know how it feels to hard brick a new phone.

Yes. Im exactly looking for something like this one but that tutorial is for Note 3 Pro.. and i have s3 Pro. Totally different phone and motherboard. Any idea where i can find information for my phone? Dont wanna smoke it up while connecting wrong pins. Two days of hard research gave me nothing.

Are you sure it is a 3s pro? Or 3s prime?

Also how did u manage to hard brick it?
1. Its 3s with 3GB and 32GB
2. Ive tryed to change Korean soft to UE soft with ADB and MIflash, didnt select flashall below, and after around 40% it stuck with error. After that my phone is dead.
3. In Device Manager with Qualcome drivers i can see only Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E.
3a. I cant see any "sd" drive or other "memory".
4. Ive tryed to unplug battery and after that nothing changed in Device Manager
5. I saw http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/urgent-help-qualcomm-hs-usb-diagnostics-t3382169 but it wont work for me couse i cannot switch to fastboot and every single option there ask for it.

So thats how i ****ed up my phone.. :( any sugestions?

Anyway thanks for any advice since now... My mate told me about xda forum like "dude.. if u have ****up like that the only place where u can find solution is xda"

Try the solution by @rajumack07 before doing something with the hardware. Fixing your bootloader should get you up and running.

I faced a similar scenario with my other phones. MI3 and Micromax Canvas 2. And I don't fear them any more. So i wish you the best and let us know when it is working :)

Have you opened the phone?

If yes, try the steps in this to get to Emergency Download mode.

If you havent opened the phone, just take it to the service center. It will be lame but easier.

I wish I had that phone with me. It would have been easier with Screen shots and pictures.

I KNOW I KNOW. I know that you have a 3s and not 3. I was giving the link coz the steps are almost the same for alsmost all Qualcomm devices.

I believe 3s has a Qualcomm processor right?

It would be better if you can attach some pictures of the motherboard and phone in the OP.

The reason I gave that link is that you know what to do and Just improvise!

Basically (carefully) remove the pins for battery and USB. Find them and follow the process. See if it works.

I don't think following the process of entering 9008 by cables is the only one. Please try with the link I had posted. If the diagnostic mode what you are saying also has "9008" along with it, then you're in download mode and you can proceed using the link I had posted or by @Deathonator. But if it's in 9006 mode, then you will have to make it to 9008, the steps are in the same link in my above post.
