(Tutorial ) How to ON Completely Dead Mi3 -

03:39 MiuiOS.in 0 Comments

writing this article in an attempt to help unlucky users with the one of the biggest issues you can face with your Mi3 (apart from drowing it or dropping it from 10ft height). That issue is a bricked device with no access to recovery to fastboot mode. In such situation, the traditional methods of flashing a new ROM via fastboot or recovery will not help you. As your device is practically dead and has locked you out of fixing options. Its safe to say, your device is screwed. But fret not, I am here with the solution to your problem.

In case, your device is out of warranty or going to a service center is not an option, you can follow this tutorial to fix your device.

I am not responsible for any damage or any losses that may arise by following the steps mentioned in my tutorial. So if you blame me later, I will just put on my headphones and listen to Rock Music.

Copy the Code

However, if you do follow the steps correctly, you should be well and fine and nothing would happen to your device.

You should follow this tutorial if you have a dead Mi3 facing one or all of these issues -

No Charging LED.
No access to Fastboot or Recovery mode.
Not detected in PC.

Getting Ready For The Procedure:

You will need the following to complete this unbricking -

A thin small copper wire or a tweezer. (should be a good conductor)
A PC running Windows Operating Sytem- Win 7 or XP preferred. (NOTE- press f8 and disable windows driver signature verification while booting windows. Skip this if using XP)
MI FLASH latest version v2014.05.09 (older version has MPRG.HEX field which isnt applicable because nor fastboot rom has .MBN support).
Fastboot ROM. Download link for both is provided at end of thread. (NOTE- You need to reply to this thread in order to view the download links)
You need to Teardown your Mi3. Meaning you have to open the device completely. For a full teardown tutorial, You can refer to this thread - Mi3 Teardown.

Mi3's Motherboard-

Take a careful look at Mi3's motherboard in the image below. I have marked two contact points on the motherboard with circles and even added arrow in case you miss it

These are the two contacts points for which we have opened up the mi3. Now, carefully, take the wire and short/connect/touch the two ends of the wire with the two golden contacts points. make sure that the connection is good as it needs to stay like that for the rest of the flashing procedure. Also make sure that the battery is disconnected before this step. Take a look at the image below to get an idea of what you need to do.

Now follow these steps slowly and carefully. Do make sure you are reading properly, taking the steps one by one and not missing anything. ( sorry for being so naggy but I want to make sure even newbies can follow this procedure) -

Make sure the two ends are connected to the two contact points
Open MIflash Tool, click on browse button.
Select Advanced.
Select ONLY "FLASH ALL.BAT" (for complete new system) or "Except DATA STORAGE.BAT" (for saving the user DATA) ---[ BETTER DO FLASH ALL ] from the extracted FASTBOOT ROM , in FASTBOOT SCRIPT OPTION.
Now leave the second option BLANK [ Nv boot script ]
Now browse and select proper files from image inside fastboot rom folder folder for MSIMAGE.MBN , MPRG.MBN , RAW0 programming.XML and Patch0.xml in appropriate options
now browse and select proper files from image inside fastboot rom folder folder for MSIMAGE.MBN , MPRG.MBN , RAW0 programming.XML and Patch0.xml in appropriate options
Connect the device to pc (with the wire inserted in small holes and battery removed )
Drivers will install , let them finish
Press refresh On Mi flash , if you get a device as anything "0" or "324ehvh2" or just COM # --- JUST PRESS FLASH BUTTON
The phone is now being flashed , after operation completed , remove the wire , connect the battery , assemble phone and boot (if mi logo come your phone is fixed )(if battery discharged it will not boot - put it on charge if red led blinks - it means phone fixed)
If some driver fails during installation or you dont see any device on miflash , check device manager for any driver not installed properly and install it manually and browse the driver from /programfile/xiaomi/miflash/qualcomm/ "here" .
If miflash gives some error like reached end of fie, receive Hello packets, give the pc a reboot , but be sure to again press f8 and disable driver verification. Is still problem persists, do try another pc running XP or windows 7.
If you cannot detect any new hardware device installation or no device on miflash , make sure the wire are connected well in side the hole and the protective layer of paper/plastic over the test point is removed by scratching. Then repeat the steps again.
If you face any problem with driver installation - make sure you disabled driver signature detection while booting windows by pressing F8.
If problems persists try contacting me ;)

Images of MIFLASH:
You can refer to this images in case you are confused about the steps needed to follow MIflash-

Open your Miflash tool

From the Miflash tool click browse and select the "Image" folder from the ROM extracted in C:/ drive. Dont extract in desktop :/

Now click on browse button again and select the fastboot script and other relevant fields like in the image below.

Now once done, connect your device via the USB cable and click on refresh. Your device would be detected. (provided you have installed drivers previously, if not install now).

Once detected, click on flash and flashing will start. Wait untill the green progress bar is completed. Flashing is now complete. remove wire, connect battery and re-assemble your phone. If everything done right, Mi logo will appear and device will boot.

Currently one of the world's top five smartphone makers, Xiaomi didn't start by manufacturing mobile phones. Instead, its first product was MIUI, the custom Android ROM that some of you are already familiar with. For those who may not know, Xiaomi is a really young company. It will celebrate its fifth year of existence (and the fourth of selling smartphones) this summer.

How did a company founded in 2010 manage to disrupt the industry and sell more smartphones (61 million in 2014) than well-known manufacturers like LG, Sony, Motorola, and others? Well, it seems to have made it thanks to a combination of perfect timing, good leadership, and a well-rounded portfolio of handsets (usually priced significantly lower than comparable devices from the competition). Another important thing to note here is that Xiaomi started its business only after raising funds from powerful Asian investors, as well as from Qualcomm (which explains why many of the company's devices are using Qualcomm chipsets, rather than cheaper alternatives from Asian makers).

Granted, right now Xiaomi is irrelevant when it comes to very important markets like North America and Europe, and it's been often criticizes for borrowing various ideas from Apple. Nevertheless, this is a company that everyone involved in the smartphone industry should keep an eye on. It's no longer a China-only vendor, currently shipping smartphones in various other Asian countries, and planning a global expansion. This being said, we're going to take a look at how Xiaomi's smartphones have evolved since 2011, ultimately allowing it to become a force to be reckoned with. Join us below.

Xiaomi Mi 1
The Mi 1, or Mi-1, is Xiaomi's very first smartphone. It was released in China in October 2011, though pre-orders had been available since September. That year, Samsung's Galaxy S II was the Android smartphone to beat, and Xiaomi tried to do that by offering the Mi 1 at a very attractive price: about $300. Specs-wise, the Mi 1 more or less matched the Galaxy S II, offering a 4-inch display with 480 x 854 pixels, an 8 MP rear camera, dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S3 processor, and 1 GB of RAM. Xiaomi received 300,000 Mi 1 pre-orders in 3 days, which, at the time, was something noteworthy. A slightly faster variant of the Mi-1, called Xiaomi Mi-1S (featuring a 1.7 GHz S3 processor), was launched in the first half of 2012.

Xiaomi Mi 2
2012 (in August) was also when Xiaomi introduced the Mi 2. Once again, this was offered at a ~$300 starting price, while bringing specs only seen on expensive flagship handsets that year, including a 4.3-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, a quad-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 processor, and 2 GB of RAM. The Mi 2S variant had a faster, 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 600 chipset.

Xiaomi Redmi 1
In the summer of 2013, Xiaomi announced its first non-high-end smartphone: the Hongmi. Initially costing around $130 in China, this handset offered (and still offers) a nice set of features for that price: 4.7-inch 720p display, 8 MP rear camera, 1 GB of RAM, and expandable memory. While the Hongmi is powered by a quad-core MediaTek processor, its international version, called Redmi 1S, comes with a Snapdragon 400 processor. Both variants are wildly successful.

Xiaomi Mi 3
Available in China since October 2013, the Mi 3 quickly became Xiaomi's fastest selling handset, with 200,000 units being purchased in 3 minutes since launch. The Mi 3 was Xiaomi's flagship for 2013, including features like a 5-inch 1080p display, 2 GB of RAM, 13 MP rear camera, and a 3050 mAh battery. The handset has two variants, one powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, and another one using an Nvidia Tegra 4 processor.

Xiaomi Redmi Note
For those who want an affordable 5.5-inch 720p smartphone, in March 2014 Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Note. Powered by either an octa-core MediaTek, or a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, the Redmi Note costs around $160, and is another hot seller.

Xiaomi Mi 4
The Mi 4 is, of course, the successor to the Mi 3, and it's been available in China and other Asian markets since July 2014, for prices that are hard to beat: $320 (16 GB model) and $410 (64 GB model). The Mi 4 comes with a 5-inch 1080p display, 8 MP front-facing camera, 13 MP rear camera, Snapdragon 801 processor, 3 GB of RAM, and a battery that can offer two days of normal usage.

Xiaomi Redmi 2
The Redmi 2 is an incremental upgrade over the Redmi 1, keeping the 4.7-inch 720p screen, but adding LTE connectivity, and a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 processor. The handset was announced in early January, and costs around $110.

Xiaomi Mi Note and Mi Note Pro
Finally, Xiaomi's latest handsets (announced two weeks ago) are the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro. They share most of their features, with some notable differences: the regular model has a 5.7-inch 1080p display, a Snapdragon 801 processor, and 3 GB of RAM, while the Mi Pro steps things up with a 5.7-inch Quad HD (1440 x 2560) display, 4 GB of RAM, and a 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor. Right now, only the Mi Note is available (in China), for prices starting at under $400. The Mi Note Pro should be released in March for around $530, being Xiaomi's most expensive handset to date.
