I've downloaded and updated using the update exe from the htc website. It wipes all your data but makes a clean install and man i have been loving the update so far. Better battery life, Better overall performance and no more stutter or lag. your mileage may vary if you update without a clean install using that dialog on your phone.

What about root? Will I lose TWRP/SuperSU?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Ultimatum99:
As the title reads, I am stuck in a bootloop I guess coming from uninstalling more system apps than was probably wise.

I tried to flash via Mi Flash but I get a "can't flash a locked phone" error.

I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too).

What options do I have?

Much appreciated,

Ultimatum

SOLUTION:

Download latest Fastboot ROM and decompress

Download and install MiFlash

Open MiFlash

Shut down the phone

Power on with Power + Vol Up.

Download Mode

Connect phone to computer, let it install the drivers if necessary

Refresh MiFlash, phone should show up (for me, Device showed as COM 10)

Browse the ROM

Tick Flash all except data and storage

Advanced > clear nvflash_all.bat

Flash

Enjoy!

have you tried to re-install the Driver? make sure that you only use win 64 bit for flashing, many issues occurred when you try to flash using win 32 bit
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Ultimatum99:
I am using Windows 10 64 bit. Moreover, I have installed ADB drivers separately (although these seem to come with the Mi Flash utility too).

I think it's intended behavior not to be able to flash via Fastboot with the bootloader locked? I was hoping to be able to restore via Mi PC Suite but it can't seem to see the phone, although the computer does and Mi Flash does too.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] spiderclan:
try using Mi PC Suite, http://en.miui.com/thread-92720-1-1.html, After Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Ultimatum99:
"I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too)."

For some reason, Mi PC Suite is not detecting the phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] noersetiawan:
Hello there,

I faced the same situation, but unfortunately in download mode, the phone is not detected in MiFlash, it detected as QHSUSB_BULK in Windows. Phone is detected while in fastboot and normal mode, but not in download mode. Do you have any idea what to do?

I expect this is a driver issue, but I can't figure out what.. I'm using Windows 64 bit, disabled driver signature enforcement, and installed all driver from MiFlash installation (there were 3 of driver notification prompt).
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Ultimatum99:
You need to update QHSUSB_BULK to the Qualcomm driver.

Device Manager > Select QHSUSB_BULK > Update Driver Software > Find manually the location of the driver, most likely: C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiaomi\MiPhone\Qualcomm\Driver

The driver should now appear as Qualcomm something, and Mi Flash should be able to see the phone.

Does this work?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] noersetiawan:
Hi,

Thank you for the help. Unfortunately it doesn't work straight away, fortunately this leads me to the right direction, after I tried to point the driver to Xiaomi directory, a window dialog says the driver is 32 bit thus noninstallable for my PC, then I looked around for 64 bit driver for Qualcomm, installed it. I can finally install the driver but the phone is detected as unknown USB device, after removing it from Device Manager, restarted my PC, and tried again, it's still the same, on the third try it finally detected properly. It's working now, thank you very much.

Really weird why did MiFlash comes with noninstallable driver.

My 3s prime is locked bootloader, developer option off, oem disable thus not able to flash as device is in bootloop.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jokerpappu:
you have to flash in edl mode not fastboot so google on how to take redmi 3s into edl mode then you can flash the rom in locked bootloader.in redmi 3 we use volume up and volume down and power button.press all three at the same time and it will take u to edl mode.screen becomes all black but if you plug it to ur computer and press refresh in miflash then it will show as com 10 or 20.thats for redmi 3.maybe redmi 3s has the same steps
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Garu8:
I have already tried to switch to edl mode using cmd with "fastboot oem edl" command but it enter bootloop. It happen because oem is locked alongwith usb debugging as I didn't unlock developer option.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jokerpappu:
then you should buy a usb cable which has a button in it which forces xiaomi devices to boot into edl mode.i forgot its name but i think you can google to find it
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Garu8:
I believe you are talking about dfc a.k.a deep flash cable. I have searched alot I couldn't find it on any e-commerce site except alibaba which doesn't ship at my place. Can yousuggest any seller or website if you ever came across selling dfc cable? Deep flash method is the only last resort for my problem other than sending phone to service centre. Could you suggest any website to make dfc cable manually?;as I have searched youtube but non of the method mentioned in it seemed liable to me.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jokerpappu:
i saw it on ebay also.i think that seller will ship worldwide to any country.

here is the link

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] james1089:
You don't need deep flash cable use button combo to put in edl mode. From device manager update driver for QHSUSB_BULK. \After that reboot pc with driver signature disabled, then open mi flash and phone should be recognised. Just found the thread I used to remove vendor rom.

http://en.miui.com/thread-254606-1-1.html

JUST MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE!:crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Garu8:
As I have already said edl mode won't work since developers option was not activated as edl requires oem activated. I had already tried all the methods.

By the way thanks to u all at xda as I have successfully flashed new rom using deep flash cable method...

Nexus 10 rooted in a bootloop

Hi folks! I'm a newbie with this stuffs so I'll do my best to explain the issue. I've recently rooted my Nexus 10 with Nexus root toolkit 2.1.9( I believe). All was fine until I turn it off and back on. Now I'm in a bootloop. I could use the Unroot+flash command but my windows 7 won't detect the device. It only detect it when my tablet is connected and turn off. In that case shows as MTP. Can anyone help me reinstalling the driver or else? Thank you

Hi all,

I've a Xiaomi redmi 3s prime with rooted and unlocked bootloader. I tried unrooting from SuperSu and the phone is in bootloop now.

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] erikkramer:
Hi,

I have a Redmi 3 phone. Not a 100% sure if it is 3/3S/Pro/Prime. I think 3 Pro.

A couple of days ago, during normal use, it suddenly shut down and went into boot loop.

The bootloader is locked.

I can go into fastboot, download or recovery mode. I think the best way to unbrick is with this guide. But the computer does not recognize the device and lists it as "Unknown Device". I've tried to install the Qualcomm drivers, but with no luck. When I choose "Have Disk" and select the drivers from the Flashtool installation, or any other driver package I find online, it says "the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64-based systems"

I've tried on a Windows 7 x64 and a Windows 10 x64 system with the same result.

It sounds a lot like noersetiawan's story, but I've tried many times to remove the device, reinstall and reboot without succes.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] erikkramer:
Additionally, I've tried a third x64 Win7 Laptop with the same result "Unkown Device".

Funny thing is, the Win 10 computer initially recognized the Device as "QHSUSB_BULK". But at that time I didn't know the proper installation method yet and let Windows search for drivers. Then it ended up as "Unknown Deivce". I can't seem to get back to the "QHSUSB_BULK" version. I'm trying to do a system restore to a point before the first time I tried to connect it, but it failed to restore so far.

I've also tried a Win10 x64 installation within Virtualbox, but can't find the device at all.

Also, here's where I bought the phone. So I guess it's a 3S.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] erikkramer:
Update:

I formatted my pc and installed Windows 10 x64.

It recognized the phone without a problem, I didn't even have to download drivers!

I was so happy to finally see it pop up in the miflash tool.

Then I clicked Flash, with the option "Except data and storage".

I started flashing and got stuck at Send Configure.

The log file shows Insufficient storage errors. Similar to this guy.

I disconnected it and now it's stuck on the mi logo. It only respondsed to going in to fastboot. (Power + Vol Down). I can't go into download mode anymore.

But the bootloader is locked so I can't do anything.

Since the phone doesn't shutdown anymore I'm afraid it will drain the battery. So I found someone saying to Press Vol Up, Down and Power to shut it down. It didn't shut down, but I got into some MI Recovery 3.0 menu. It looks a little like this one. AI tried Wipe All Data. It completed but doesn't make a difference.

Then I went into fastboot and tried this option. It didn't go in to download mode, and now my computer won't even recognize the phone anymore in Fastboot mode.

:crying: Anybody?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] erikkramer:
Ok so I decided, screw it, and went with the test point method to try and get back into download mode.

Quite exciting, I have to say, but it worked!

In hindsight it was pretty easy and straight forward.

I used an updated version of miFlash (7.4.25) this time and chose the "clean all" option.

What a ride. Thanks for reading.

My problems is that the Hermes could boot up but it seems there are issues in the radio, ie "NO GSM". It keeps come and go which caused my Hermes (Softbank) very unstable when using the telephone functions.

My phone was damaged, and I just learned that I cannot charge the battery. I'm at 11%, with little time to spare. I setup a repair on Motorola.com, but it will be days before I get my loaner phone.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sladflob:
Hi all,

I have a Tune2Air Bluetooth adapter in my car which works great with my Nexus 9 and my partner's iPhone. But when I'm connected to it with my G4, the Blueooth connection drops out almost exactly every 12 minutes (+/- 1 minute). After 30 seconds or so the phone reconnects but it's annoying as hell, especially when the dropout occurs when Google Maps is giving me a crucial navigation instruction. My phone is an international H815, totally stock, running build 20D of Marshmallow.

Here's what I've tried/observed:

The phone stays connected without any problems to my Bose Bluetooth speakers at home.

I have made sure that all power saving modes are turned off. I have added Bluetooth to the Ignore Optimizations list in case MM's Doze mode is causing this.

I noticed that when on long drives in the country the phone seems to stay connected to the Tune2Air without the usual dropout. This made me wonder if it could be an interaction to do with the cell radio that is causing the dropout. I tried just sitting in my driveway (in case it was cell-tower handoff) but the dropout still occurs. I have tried disabling mobile data and WiFi while driving but the dropout still occurs.

My mobile provider supports Fast Dormancy and I usually have this enabled. I wondered if maybe this is causing the problem (because of some difference between the city and country cell towers) so I tried disabling it, but the problem persists.

I looked in the log using logcat but couldn't see anything indicating why the connection is dropping. I tried enabling Bluetooth logging from the Developer Menu but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work.

I'd really like to solve this problem but I'm running out of ideas. Can anyone suggest anything else that I could try? Are there any other Bluetooth or mobile network timers of this approximate duration that could be causing the problem? Or any other settings in the service menu that I could try?

Thanks,

james

You can try Flashing the 20e version, much more stable than D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sladflob:
I don't see an update to 20e, either OTA or using LG Bridge. Reading the forums, the consensus seems to be that 20e does not differ significantly from 20d. I think I'll stick with 20d for the time being as I can't bear the thought of doing another factory reset right now.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieldp1990:
then downgrade to a previous version of MM
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeydogger:
Hi, This is a bit of a wild stab in the dark but with the seeming regularity it could be a service / polling issue. Have you checked the location based profiles - Perhaps the "turn off Bluetooth when I'm away from home" option is set and this is happening every 12 minutes? Like I said, bit of a wild stab in the dark/ suggestion but might be worth a check. You could also check it whilst sitting in your driveway and see if it happens....
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sladflob:
Ooh, you could be onto something here. I'm going to try disabling "Bluetooth scanning" setting under the Scanning menu on the location screen and see what happens. Another possible culprit is Google Location History so I can try disabling that. As a last ditch effort I will try switching my Location Mode from High Accuracy to Device Sensors Only and see if that helps. I'll report back once I can get a chunk of time in the car.

Thanks!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sladflob:
So I tried all of the things I mentioned previously, rebooted, and it was still doing it - disconnecting every 12-13 minutes.

BUT after some more experiments last week the problem seems to have "fixed itself". Here's what I did...

I was wondering if it wasn't an app that was interfering and causing the dropout so I decided to boot the phone into Safe Mode and see if it helped. Unfortunately it exhibited the same behaviour... Google Play Music played for 12 minutes and then dropped out. So thinking that was pointless I rebooted back to normal mode. My phone then connected to the car stereo but was in this strange mode where audio was still coming out of the speaker rather than being sent across Bluetooth. So I deleted the phone pairing and re-paired and since then, whenever I've gotten in the car, the phone has stayed connected to the car stereo without dropping. Note that this isn't the first time I've deleted and redone the pairing... I'd tried that several times to try and fix the problem. The only new ingredient was going into Safe Mode. Not sure if this cleared something some state in the Bluetooth settings but I'm not complaining.

On the other hand, this is also fairly unsatisfying as it's not clear what "fixed it", and should it happen again I don't have a great degree of confidence that I'll be able to fix it again. Still, it's a step in the right direction and I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sladflob:
So I think I've finally fixed this once and for all. Thought I'd share here in case it's useful to someone one day.

The problem started happening again after I accidentally deleted the pairing and had to re-pair it. Not sure why but I thought to tap the little cog next to the Tune2Air entry in the Bluetooth Devices list. I was surprised to see that under PROFILES both Call Audio and Media Audio were selected (the Tune2Air device I am connecting just supports Media Audio and doesn't do phone calls). So I unticked the Call Audio, reconnected the device, and everthing's been fine since.

I'm not sure whether the device is advertising that it supports Call Audio or whether the G4 is just assuming that it does. Actually the G4 connects just fine to my Bose soundlink (and just shows the Media Audio profile) so I'm think there's something funny with the BT implementation of the Tune2Air device.

Nevertheless, it seems odd that the phone should drop the whole BT connection after 12-13 minutes if it can't connect to call audio. Maybe someone more familiar with the Bluetooth stack can tell me if this is acceptable behaviour or if the G4 is doing something weird.
