Hi all.

I'm wondering if anyone has a viable workaround for the pile of bloatware on the QTAQZ3, I was gifted on a few years ago and it is telling me that it is running out of room. The math for the misc junk file doesn't add up. Display counts 5.2 GB, and clicking the line often shows less than 3 MB.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surriour:
hello,

I have installed a custom rom onto my lg g3 d852 model. But after many failed attempts to correct it, my phone will not stay conected to my mobile network. My phone is now running MM 6.0 on the koodo network. I believe that this problem may have started because of a setting I may have changed in the hidden menu.

Ive tried:

-downgrading back to LP

-Switching sim cards

-updating firmware

-checked the imei (still says its there)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I have found a temporary solution. I switched to HSPA only in network options, this got my phone connected back to the network at least for now. I would like to have access to all frequencies. Any suggestions?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surriour:
Bump...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexavoodoomal:
Which custom ROM did you install, and does the problem persist after a factory reset? If it's merely a setting you changed the restet will put it back to default. If it's a modem setting you changed in the hidden menu, a clean flash of the ROM will get you back to where you started.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surriour:
I made a mistake, the rom is a stock rom MM of Koodo/Telus provider that I downloaded off of xda... I can link to the rom if necessary. I have factory reset several times and tried Fulmics LP and MM and this version I'm currently using getting the same results.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexavoodoomal:
If I were in your shoes, I'd do one of two things. First, I'd try the nand back I made when I got the phone, before I'd flashed anything. If you don't have a good back up, one that includes the efs, modem and bootloader, then you need to revert to stock using the factory kdz image. There's a tutorial here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surriour:
I shall give this tutorial a try. Thanks.

Found a way to reboot to edl mode from fastboot

All credits to [MENTION=7379761]emuzychenko[/MENTION]

1) Download modified fastboot file

2) Reboot your phone to fastboot

3) Double click on edl.cmd

4) You are on 9008/edl mode

5) Flash any fastboot image from Mi flash

You successfully unbricked your device :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] parfetto:
Hi

Try with that method also. It seams to work .

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrColdbird:
Next time I brick it again (trust me, it will happen) I will give those a try.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarando:
This is the solution www(dot)htcmania.com(/)showthread(dot)php?t=1163463

Cheked by me, the brick was to try to unlock the bootloader without the Xiaomi message.

Sorry for my english, bu ti hope to be helpful.

To restore the default Bootloader copy paste the emmc_appsboot.mbn from Fastboot Rom to the Adb foldee

and type command on cmd

fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn

fastboot reboot
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] apixbuanget:
For those who have failed and stuck on "HS USB 900E" and the bootloader stick locked here is the solution :

1. Enter fastboot by holding vol down + power

2. Plug your RN3Pro to PC

2. Flash original bootloader from official fastboot firmware

fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn

3. Type again :

fastboot reboot

and quickly hold volume up untuk it enter "sideload" mode

4. Install Mi PC Suite from this link en.miui.com/thread-225600-1-1.html

5. Let the Mi PC Suite download the latest chinese firmware, just sit and wait until it done

6. Lets Brick the beast again :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
this method only works for few very people, everyone cant access adb through recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
Have you tested this method yourself? I think this is for people who bricked the device but had stock recovery inside, what about people who has twrp and bricked the device? Also I dont think you can flash anything through fastboot in locked bootloader
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rajkot360:
IT WORKS

Worked like a magic. I can confirm for sure. Was stuck at HS USB 900E with locked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dharani_V:
Yeah i bricked mine with twrp .. and i cannot enter into recovery mode now.. only fastboot works and i cannot flash stock recovery too because the bootloader is locked :/ stupid Mi :/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] amsmu:
So, did you try above mentioned method?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dharani_V:
Yes i did .. and its not allowing me to flash anything .. Getting Error Device is locked :/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] oghe3003:
failed bro, getting error device is locked using QFIL.:crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] amsmu:
Guys, please mention the reason behind your device getting bricked too when you are reporting what worked and what didn't. Like whether during unlock bootloader process(without xiaomi's permission) or flashing custom ROM(most probably MIUI official updates) via twrp.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] amsmu:
What were you doing when it bricked?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fcukmayank:
Go to service center. They will repair it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] puli112:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] apixbuanget:
i've tried this myself. In HS USB 900E you can flash aboot through fastboot whether you stock recovery or twrp before bricked.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cvncbn:
Does anyone success ? Please share a guide !
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
wow!!! thats great, but before you flashed aboot through fastboot did you check whether your bootloader was locked or not?

I tried unlocking bootloader unofficially and I think it bricked.

Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E is showing in the device manager with RED led flashing when connecting to the PC

Please help.

Device was Redmi Note 3 SD (kenzo) with 8.0.6.0 Global Stable ROM with device encryption and locked bootloader when tried to flash.

I looked a lot of guides and videos, and almost all involved -

1. Deep Flash Cable

2. Removing back panel, removing Battery and USB wires connecting back and pressing volume buttons to enter EDL mode

3. Copper wire shorting of the 2ND pin in a USB cable and trying out connecting to PC, to change the status.

Is there any other way, or I may need to take the phone to Service Center

UPDATE: I managed to fix by the method 3 above
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chocklety Boyee:
Guys am here for seeking help..i was flashing update 8.2.4 and i bricked my device ..might be coz of zcx recovery and latest firmware incompatibility...only led blinks on charging ..i know it is edl.mode ..but while i try to flash fastboot image the following errors occurs ..i am on windows 8 64 bit cpu..plz help me..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] qewlpal:
Since you could see COM in MiFlash tool, try this:

0. Take backup of original emmc_ file from images folder in fastboot ROM

1. Replace emmc_ file from V8.2.4.0 fastboot ROM with AOSP (unlocked) emmc_ file. [google it, you can easily find it]

2. Now try flashing from MiFlash tool.

3. If it worked, now put the original backedup emmc_ file back and flash again

4. It should work.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chocklety Boyee:
Yeah i tried replacing before i start flash tool ..but flashtool always gives me this hello packet error as attatcted above ..how to solve that issue?? Mi flash doesnot flash at all it stuck giving that error everytime i navigate and select image folder via select option..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] qewlpal:
Just re-looked your screenshots.

You are selecting Images folder. THAT is WRONG

Try selecting ONLY "kenzo_global_images_V8.2.4.0.MHOMIDL_20170522.0000.00_6.0_global_0cc0f93a7c"

or whatever ROM you are using. Not the images folder

man, you saved my phone, thanx :3
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tarun yadvendu:
i have some what same problem, i will discuss all the details. i tried to unlock my redmi note 3 bootloader using unofficial method, but wont be able to unlock it and bricked my device. Then i tried to boot in fastboot,reacovery(official),edl but nothing works, only the red led is blinking when connecting to pc or charger and pc wont detect any device. The only thing is that when i connect it to pc and press vol+ and power button the pc detect the device and shows it to qualcomm 900e port. i know that we need 9008 loader port which is edl mode, to flash stock rom with mi flash, so i tried the update driver software and move to 9008 loader, the miflash detect the device as com40 but didnt flash the rom,its show error cannot connect to the port and i used the latest stock rom of redmi note 3(indian version, i guess global) which is kenzo_global_images_V8.5.7.0.MHOMIED_20170922.0000.00_6.0_global_fd5bb1716c. so if someone help me in this case here. please i really need to fix my device.

Hi

Try with that method also. It seams to work . tipsnesia.com
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
did you ask them, how did they fix it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] amsmu:
So, as long as it has original bootloader or locked bootloader, is it under warranty even though bricked?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
yes its under warranty, until you open up your phone to test point
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkAlucard:
Well, i finally got my RN3 Pro and hard bricked it... :/

What i did before brick:

I unlocked bootloader with booting into download mode and using and modified original rom (with MiPhone). After that i could unlock it via fastboot.

After that i installed TWRP and an modified boot.img (to boot into twrp).

I installed supersu via adb sideload and did a nandroid backup after this.

Then i did the huge mistake and flashed a custom rom.

After that, the hard brick appeared.

So in can get into fastdownload mode and it says me that the bootloader is locken.

So it doesnt let me flash anything over fastboot.

Power + VolUp seems to remain in an "undefined state"

same when i boot normal.

And when i press all 3 Buttons (if this makes any sense?!)

In every state my device is recognozed over USB as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E".

In Fastboot the PCSuite also recognizes the phone and offers me a firmware update but even if i choose stable or beta build,

i get the message "cant flash".

I also tried to experiment with QFIL, but it failed to switch to downloadmode.

Im really despaired about this. I live in Germany, shipping needed 20Days+ and i dont want to open it...

So there is no real solution at the moment?!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
unfortunately no!! only way to fix is to test point, if you have replacement option replace it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkAlucard:
Well, we have no service here (none as i know or find at google) so i tried testpoint and failed. RN3 is now definitely broken... Sad but i will reorder it.

To testpoint i can say, that in the video there is another issue different from mine. His Phone boots up and have long boot icon and green led, i just got short booticon / red led and if it was not connected per usb or in fastboot mode, it directly turned off.

So i dont know if testpoint would help anyone with "my" issue. But at last, i broke the device hardware at some point. Its really tricky and really not to suggest if you havent any experience there.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hackedieter:
For me, the test point method was the solution. My problem was the same as yours "Dark Alucard". Everything is working fine now and I'm happy....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] amit_aks_007:
I also have the same issue and was about to follow the testpoint method. Looking at your post, I think its better that I return it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] black_jet:
Well I bricked my phone after unlocking in the unoffical way and then forgetting to delete emmc_appsboot.mbn when installing sMIUI via TWRP (stupid -.-)

So bascially same situation as DarkAlucard, I could get into Fastboot mode but since the bootloader was locked I couldn't do anything.

Tried the methods in this thread but none worked.

Then I did the Testpoint method and tada .... it wokred. BUT if you have the chance to have it returned/fixed, do that!

The disassembly and reassembly was ok, similar to any other device. But trying to connect the pins somehow took me forever. First of all they are tiny, so you need a very thin+stable wire and steady hands and they are in a not easy to reach space. Second you have to make "good contact" for quite some time, otherwise the phone will just reboot to bricked state (just red LED blinking no display while on USB). I had to hold the pins connected for about 5-10 secs (which wasn't easy) and then the phone rebooted into EDL (connected via USB as Qualcomm Hub without any LED blinking or Display but discovered by MiFlash). Then I could finally flash 7.1.8.0 global stock and get back to normal.

And now I'm waiting for my official unlock key ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcidArrow:
I did the exact same thing... Is there really no other solution than the test point?

Can't I wait for the official unlock to arrive and then hopefully be able to unlock the bootloader and then I will be able to actually do stuff in fastboot? (because right now, everything I try is telling me that the bootloader is locked)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] micro77:
test point ;

http://en.miui.com/thread-244814-1-1.html
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcidArrow:
Heh... We're trying to find a solution that is safer than testpoint, so I'm not sure what posting testpoint here accomplishes...

To the OP, I tried all suggested methods. None work so far :/

Edit:

So where can someone get the "QPST" officially? It seems like an updated version might do the trick, but I can't find an "official" source for those to see which one is the latest version.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] micro77:
yes you right .

but some time no alternative for test point .

and qpts latest version is 2.7.430 for new model snapdragons like 808 ,820, 616 .650 here ;

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3sDQ7WRBXP2QmFvbFIyWE9PRDA/view
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcidArrow:
Thank you for that. But it seems it doesn't help either...

I just get unable to switch to edl error (no error about firehose this time), but it still isn't working...

*sigh*

I really can't stomach that there isn't a proper solution for this.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] micro77:
yes , one another way exist to switch edl .

this method working on many new snapdragon phones . (sd 808 ,820 ,616 ,650 )

triple pushing buttons ;

power + wolume up + wolume down push together 20-30 sec. until sound "found new device" from pc or device manager appers com port .

edit : not working on my rnp3 :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] KrzysiekGP:
For me this metod is not working. When I push 3 buttons longer then 5-6 sec. phone restarts and restarts again and again and no effects.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcidArrow:
Yeah, pushing all three buttons is the same as volume + and power, or just power when the phone is in this state.

Only thing different is volume - and power for fastboot.

My phone is still bricked by the way. It appears there is simply no other solution than test point... Which sucks big time.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] micro77:
i tried triple button pushing to edl , no solution.

only reboot to fastboot or recovery.

i opened the rear case and i tried test point finally success :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] #BATMAN#:
is this the only way to go to edl ..............other than adb ? :crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
try rebooting to fastboot and use command

fastboot erase recovery

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
Okay there are many ways which may work, you have to keep patience

Im listing the methods

Disable driver signing check in windows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUqDoTFuUOM

1)switch off ur phone by long pressing the power button for 20 sec

2)connect ur mobile to pc and hold VOL+ , VOL- , power all 3 at once to enter qualcomm mode. u will get a sound when recognised.

3)go to device manager (if u r using windows) , go to PORTS> IF u see "Qualcomm HS-USB diagnotics 9008." , then u are in right path my friend.

4)IF your device is showing Qualcomm HS-USB diagnotics 900E(COM4) , then you are not in qualcomm mode.

for getting into qualcomm mode, u should press all 3 buttons V+,V-, power buttons simultaneously after connecting to usb.

When device shows qualcomm HS USB 9008 use mi flash to flash any fastboot rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
Method 2:-

1) Follow step from method 1

2)Now right click on QBULK and select update driver

3)try to install all these drivers

Make sure driver signature enforcement is disabled.

Try these drivers by installing one and then uninstalling that and then again install another driver one of them might work too :-

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347799753

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982086990168

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24349802275800175

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24349802275800173

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24349802275800171

does any of them show 9008 instead of 900E?

if it shows 9008 problem solved.

4)Download this :- http://www.mediafire.com/download/4aqwyi3g1d6wc67/Qualcomm 1.00.11.rar

Keep phone disconnected from PC.

Open the folder "qc" and install the Test Certificate in the following Stores: Trusted Root, Trusted Publisher, Third-Party Root and Personal

Run the Qualcomm setup wizard (also located in the qc folder)

When completed, restart your PC again with Driver Signature Disabled. (Optional but preferred)

The driver should now automatically install. If not, go to device manager and right click "Unknown Device" and click "Update Driver" Search up the QC folder and press ok. The driver should now install.

Does it show 9008 now?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
Method 3:

From method 2:-

drivers" and now select Qualcomm HS-USB Qloader 9008, it'll install

3)open miflash and press refresh? does it detect your phone? repeat steps with all drivers and check whether miflash detects it

4) did this work?

(Q)can i unlock bootloader from mi unlock app after reciving permission to unlock
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
yes you are going the right way, btw your device manager is showing a adb device, update it and make it work, after that use

adb commands adb reboot edl, then your device will show up as 9008 and miflash it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
No miunlock doesnt really work like that.

I think your adb is working, try to get the adb working

try this guide for adb http://en.miui.com/thread-261019-1-1.html

lastly if nothing works, this guides may work but long-shot(you will need a fastboot rom for this)
