[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Morphine1:
From my experience, I've seen that "kind of death" on devices like Mi4 and Mi4c. Many people have gone through it.

It is rare, but can happen. The method that has worked for me was:

Connect the device via usb port to a PC.

Wait for the led light to show up. Maybe minutes, maybe hours.

Once the led light is on, inmediately connect it to a wall charger.

Else you can try to flash a fastboot rom if miflash recognizes your device via COM port.

Once it's flashed, then connect to the wall charger for an hour or so. Should come to life.

It is kinda sad to see that this issue persists on the mi5, after having seen it happen on mi4 and mi4c.

But also good to know 99% times they have a solution.

An easy working way to make the Mi5 to enter in EDL mode is to build an EDL cable for yourself.

Here is what you have to do:

1)

2)

3)

Then connect the device with this built cable for a few seconds and unplug it.

Plug it again with a NORMAL cable.

Miflash will show COM port, and now you're into EDL mode.

I hope it does not happen to me more, anyway thanks for the explanation, hope it will be useful for some other unlucky guys.

Same happened to me a few weeks ago. Completely dead no LED no screen no vibration no fastboot no nothing. Left it plugged in to wall charger for few hours - nothing. Left it plugged in to PC for a few hours nothing except qusb_bulk in device manager. Then I tried MiFlash it recognised phone on COM port and succesfully flashed the ROM but no restart, no lights, no vibration, nothing still phone has not recognised anything. Left it overnight plugged in to PC morning still nothing. Another few hours of messing around/trying and I leave it connected to my turned OFF laptop I come back in a few hours and red LED is on! Booted up straight to MIUI 8 as it had received the MiFlash without 'waking up'

So if your Mi5 dies like this without any fall (suddenly) it still might come back to life lol. Working fine since about 10 days now.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Busaton:
Thanks for your reply, maybe we need to create a "guide" to resolve this kind of problem.

Is the only difference is merging green+black cable? And will it work with some old micro usb cable (to modify it) with usb c connector?

nw i have hardbricked no boot, no fastboot, no recovery, maybe no edl , tel me any way pzl
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] IMTLD:
you can find the solution here

The easy way is the deep flash cable, but if you don't have one or cannot make one, just use the test point method, it is not hard.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] fourth1:
Whoa! Can you explain wtf this is & why it works? I'm fascinated tho I will try leaving it plugged into PC overnight first as that sounds like a potential much easier fix...

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

After flashing this new CM14 ROM I was fine for a while but then while hard booting into recorver to flash some different gapps it hard bricked & PC sees it as QUSB_BULK... bizarre. Will try your method.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Rmyaseen:
for me red led light is blinking but if i connect to pc its not recognising in mi flash plz help me i m using normal cable not deep flash cable
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] IMTLD:
Did you read the links? it is definitely not recognizing because you must use deep flash cable! or use test points method.

How to install Qualcomm driver?

So I have QUSB_BULK brick situation, & I am hoping I can get it to QDloader9008 like you did, because all unbrick advice I've found assumes computer is seeing it as QDloader9008. So, I got the MiFlash tool, & I found those Qualcomm driver folders, but I am a total n00b & can't figure out how to install them. Here's what I get (attached). When I click either of those items I get a warning about opening a system file, then an app chooser that doesn't look promising. Help?

Hello,

Sorry for this little necroposting, but I think another experience can help general awareness about the issue.

Had the exact same problem few weeks ago (phone won't boot after turn off), let it over night unplugged, when I woke up the battery was flat (blinking red led), I plugged it back to a charger and it booted up.

My phone is working like a charm this then, hope I won't have this problem again.

Cheers,
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Mayex:
My phone few days ago jus died while watching youtube. No fastboot, no recovery, zero reaction. I succesfully flashed global stable rom (tried also dev china and gobal) va MiFlash using EDL mode. After flash I disconnected phone from PC and it's dead. I tried unplugging battery and it's the same. When I connect to wall charger yellow/green LED appears and nothing more. Pressing Power button does nothing. What can I do?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] hichaam:
[MENTION=5005867]Mayex[/MENTION], did you find a solution? I'm having the same issue, I can boot in EDL mode, and I the flash goes without issues, but I can't boot the phone, the screen is always black.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Mayex:
Unfortunately, motherboard is dead. We can do nothing. Probably GPU is burned because of poorly designed cooling in Mi5.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] prottoy:
got solution mate ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] faizul134:
I tried your method. But still no luck. But I connect the device to wall charger for 3/4 hours & got a green led on. But mobile didn't trun on. Or PC doesn't detected the phone. Tried by building EDL cable, still failed. Even tried this method but still no luck for me. What to do?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] NegreiAdrian:
The solution for those with blinking white LED on Xiomi Mi 5X. Keeping all 3 button more than 30 seconds solved the problem. My problem comes after a brick. After flashed the firmware through MiFlash with Test Point method, keeping all 3 buttons until I receiving a vibration was the solution. I tried everything but when connecting the USB cable to pc, charger or just turning on the phone, the led was blinking in three phases and just like that. So again, keep all the 3 buttons until you receive a vibration. Then insert the charger (maybe you don't have a battery power anymore), or, wait for the firmware to boot up.

i guys, i think i'm in the same situation with my mi A2, it's been one month since it was completely dead after mi flash success, it was recognized from my laptop as QUALCOMM 9008 etc... but couldn't flash with mi flash or could boot in any way. today i was trying some experiments and my laptop didn't recognized it anymore in a second... now it is really completely dead, i tried to plug into the power adaptor but after 2 ours it is still dead... do you think it will boot up?
[General Questions and Answers] defroster:
I just got a s5 prime from eBay and was in the process of debloating via tibackup but kept getting stuck at boot screen showing warranty kernel bit. Required a restore of system and data each time to get it going again. Through arduous process of elimination I was able to narrow the culprit down to the aforementioned seemingly innocuous apk. When it's removed the phone dies.

What's even stranger is that this page seems to indicate that it's fine to remove:

Sorry for digging but people need to know! I wish I saw this post earlier. I spent whole night trying to see what causing my phone to endless boot.

After few hours I see that If you remove DictDiotek it won't boot anymore. And I thought that this is uselles dictionary and everywhere people write that it's safe to remove.

I remove it from all my ROM builds with NO PROBLEM...
[General Questions and Answers] KamilKiri:
[MENTION=4560607]AFFAFXP[/MENTION] - I believe you because I've always removed it from my S7 and It worked fine. But on S9+ it's causing endless boot for me. I think that it's ROM related or something (or maybe language related)
[General Questions and Answers] AFFAFXP:
endless boot is from some files in the /lib I believe if you look for these from a rom that worked and replace them in the rom your installing this would work in this case as well...

This link originated here >>>> https://www.tech1xpert.com/guide-to-port-roms-android/

Fixing a Bootloop

Your Port should take less than 5-8 minutes to boot. When the screen dims during boot logo, your Rom has successfully boot.But If your waiting for like 15 minutes, and boot logo is still going, YOU HAVE A BOOTLOOP. Luckily, the fix is easy!

STEP1:

Navigate to “PORT” folder. A ROM THAT BOOTS AND WORKS for you device

STEP2:

Go to lib folder inside System folder of Base Rom.= ROM That you want to install

STEP3:

Inside lib folder of PORT search for these libs:

libandroid_runtime.so

libandroid_servers.so

libmedia_jni.so

Once you find each, copy them to the lib folder of Base Rom.= The ROM you want to install -- Right-click lib folder of Base Rom, select paste, and click the box in the lower left corner. Now “Click Move and Replace”

STEP4:

All done! Now add to a zip and flash!

This HAS WORKED in my attempts on PORTS that BOOTLOOP :) KUDOS
[General Questions and Answers] ahmetdamar:
The same problem happened on my device. I took it to the mechanic before I tried to get into the recovery screen. We thought there was a power problem. The mechanic probably damaged my robust device because they didn't open it properly and handed it back to me in a broken state.

By taking a second N910C device and risking it, I repeated the same process step by step and found that the problem was caused by uninstalling the program "DictDiotek.apk". I restored my backup with Recovery. And my device turned on normally. DictDiotek is not a problem if frozen. Only uninstalling the phone does not turn on.

My phone is N910C. Custom ROM 6.0.1: Ditto ROM DN6

I got my Note 3 second hand and everything was fine until last week the S pen stopped working. I tried to turn air command on and off and even did a factory reset and nothing happened. I went to Samsung and they wanted to change the mainboard saying than moisture was causing the sensor to stop working but 180 USD is too high for me so I decide to use it without the pen However today the SPen started working again which is a pleasant surprise. So my question is how is this possible?

Water on component may dry may fail may be corrosion all the usual reasons.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordanpa:
I am assuming the technician saw the evident liquid damage and concluded without checking the functions of the board itself. He has given it back to you with that opinion. Some minor moisture/liquid damage can sometimes cause modules a slow intermittent death rather than one day it no longer working, even to the extent you are left with a phone function that only works half the time. I would still prepare for the worst.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drronnie:
Technician said that apart from the stylus sensor nothing was wrong. So lets hope its stays that way and stylus is Still working . Maybe when the technician opened the main board dried.

Hey all

One of my friends bought for me a Samsung Galaxy J5 6 from Germany and I am out of Europe and as I checked there is a limitation for European sim cards only.

I have not access any European sim card so I can not make a test call.

I tried to find a way to unlock and I found unlockunit dot com now I have two questions:

1 - Is this web site real and can I trust it?

2- For 'Galaxy J5 6' should I select 'Galaxy J5 2016'?

3- It asked me about Network of origin. I do not know the origin network. I just know he bought it from Germany. Is anyway to figure out?

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Hoegali:
Hi,

I originally posted this over at android central where I was told it is not possible to root a Moto G4, so I am trying here hoping for a different answer = )

I am attempting to install Cyanogenmod on my handset using the below guide:

Install_CM_for_peregrine (looks like I can't post link but that is the name of the page on he Cyanogenmod site)

I have unlocked the handset, copied the Cyanogenmod zip file to my sdcard, booted in recovery mode and attempted to install the zip package. At this point I get an error "E:failed to verify whole-file signature". I have tried both the stable and nightly build with the same result. Also when I have attempted to install SuperSU using the same process have received the same error so I suspect it is not a corrupted file.

I believe this is being caused by the signature check and to get around this have been following the below guide to disable signature check:

tutorial-how-to-disable-signature-check.html (name of the tutorial as can't post links)

When it comes to the step "Then find a option Called "Patch To Android", I don't see this option, and from what I understand this may be due to not having my phone rooted.

I have installed Kingo ROOT to resolve this but it failed to root the handset (error 0x1C5C33 if that means anything to anybody), checking the list of phones which Kingo ROOT can root, Moto is not one of them. What are the other options?

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] hooks024:
Get rid of kingo. Look up android doctor on YouTube for unlock, root, twrp instructions. CM has a lot of bugs and isn't ready for daily use on this device. Slim roms has released their rom, it's CM based. I've been using it for a few days, and it's running smooth. There's a thread about it with the link on here. The only problem I've had was a boot loop when I try and flash xposed and supersu. There's a built in super user access in the settings, so supersu isn't necessary.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Hoegali:
Phone rooted, thanks!

Now to install SlimRoms :)
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Hoegali:
Strange, after rooting gained the below options in Lucky Patcher:

Signature Verification Status always True

Disable .apk Signature Verification

Disable signature verification in the package manager

Patch applied for all three, but then when I restart in recovery mode and attempt to install the SlimRoms zip still getting error "E:failed to verify whole-file signature".
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] hooks024:
I didn't patch anything. Just root, installed twrp, and flashed slim rom and gapps
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Hoegali:
Ah I see, did not realise you install the rom via twrp. It's installed now, awesome, thanks.

Hi All,

I crashed my HTC Home by making some changes with the HTC Home customizer. Since the changes took more then 15 minutes, I resetet my Kaiser, afterwards, the HTC Home place stays empty :(

Any idea how to fix it, or where to get the right cab for the software? I'd like to avoid a hard reset...

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shadowace:
Check your today settings, HTC home customizer disables the plugin to make the edits. Then the last step is re-enabling the plugin for your today screen. My guess would be you just need to go to start-settings-today choose items and check HTC Home....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jinx007:
I'm afraid, that's not the solution. When I check the box for the today screen, I only get a free space with the size of the home-software. No clock, buttons, etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
Looks like your registry is messed up. A hard reset would be best option but you could try the HTC Home plugin cab from the sticky'd thread at the top of this Forum and see if it will recover your install. Just backup your data first if you do have problems. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jinx007:
And which one is the right cab? I'm not talking about the "Home plugin" but about the so called "home", the area with the clock, buttons, etc.

Maybe I'm simply too blind...

So I switched over from my OP3 to S7 Edge as it was supposed to be an overall upgrade. I used to get through a day of work (7:30am - 5pm) and still have ~40% battery. With the S7E I have to top the phone up before leaving work and keep it on battery saver. I changed the firmware from EE branded to unbranded and I am un rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] crutzulee:
I was absolutely loving the battery life of my s7 edge until a couple of days ago when it started discharging at a ridiculous rate. I tried getting rid of a bunch of apps that I wasn't using but that had little effect.

Yesterday, I wiped the cache in the stock recovery (I'm also unrooted) and I'm back in business! I doubt I'll ever know what was going on (Android system was using 32%) but wiping cache is an easy fix.

My next step would have been a factory reset which I was planning on doing after Noughet lands officially. I'm happy to put that off as it's a bit more of a PIA for me setting up my watch and other peripherals..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Razwaz:
I've wiped the cache in stock recovery and unfortunately it didn't help. As with you, a factory reset would be too much hassle at the moment, so I'm trying to avoid that route. It really is a nightmare to try and solve!
