[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] DE SEXIEST:
My question is any permanent fix for this particular problem?

I'm considering buying this phone
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] ultimatelegend1:
I have a question , if you were to try and update your M3 that has the deadboot issue , would it fail all the time? Because we can't reboot the phone or power it off without it going into deadboot. Can we still access recovery?
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
Good question! I'm looking forward to updating the MIUI version, but I'm sure the M3 will go into deadboot. About Recovery/Fastboot I can't access it, but right now I'm doing some tests to make sure I can access it.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
I tried to restart the M3 using ADB on Windows (adb reboot recovery) with USB Debugging but the device went into deadboot, unfortunately. So far I haven't found any solution to update the device other than Flashing via EDL (Xiaomi Mi Tool), replacing the "firehose" file in the ROM folder.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Jonathan RdGz:
Hi, I have the same problem, I followed your steps, I flashed several ROM'S but nothing so I tried version 12.0.3.0 and I think it worked, I left it connected to the PC, after having flashed the ROM, but I fell asleep when I woke up, I tried to turn it on and the battery appeared, it gave me a life expectancy! immediately connect it to the power and yes! "1%" appeared from there the LOGO OF POCO, but from there he did nothing more ... he stayed in EDL again: c I don't know what to do ...
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
You must flash the MIUI of the same version as your phone (eg: Europe, Global, Russian,...). The Flash process must be done in EDL mode, using Xiaomi Flash Tool (Mi Flash). In my case it was the "QJFEUXM" ROM.

After the flash, just follow the same battery disconnect procedure you did.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] rotoko:
Many thanks for the link to POCO M3 Engineering ROM, it solved everything with my phone, I was in EDL mode and after installing, reinstalling and modifying the phone is like new, I also repaired another phone.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
Glad it worked out for you! :)

But I have a doubt: you said that the cell phone "was like new" after (...) modifications.

1. Does it mean you can restart your phone normally without getting stuck in EDL?

2. What changes did you make?

These answers can help everyone who is experiencing the problem.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] rotoko:
I have restarted the mobile phone many times after the repair, when installing the rom and the applications works perfectly.

After flashing via Flashtool, I immediately installed TWRP via Fastboot and installed Miu 12.5.3.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
It really is a very interesting situation. In my case, ever since I got stuck in EDL for the first time I was never able to restart the phone again. Despite installing the Engineering ROM, the device can no longer access Fastboot Mode or Recovery Mode. The only thing I can boot is the System, and if I restart the phone I will need to open it and heat up a point on the Motherboard so that it exits EDL and boots normally.

My device is an EU version, and this week I installed the MIUI version 12.5.5 (Global) via EDL (with a Fastboot ROM) as it is the only method I can flash... :(
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] rotoko:
Interestingly, my cell phone got into the bootlop by installing the wrong Rom, when it couldn't, just boot through EDL by connecting two points, it didn't seem logical for me to fix it by discharging the battery or destroying components by heating.

I used a modified MIFLASH DRIVER, Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and POCO M3 Engineering ROM. Also when repairing another mobile phone.

The phones are working perfectly so far.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
Got it! Do you know what modification was made to the Driver?

And from what I understand, you weren't exactly stuck in EDL, you were actually in Bootloop. That's right?
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] rotoko:
That's right, the phone was in bootloope, it didn't respond to anything, it just blinked when the power was pressed, it kept vibrating all the time, even when charging. Only switching the phone to EDL and reinstalling was the last chance.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
Great! It's not my case... as my device really can't restart because it gets stuck in the EDL. But anyway, I'm glad it worked for you. We will continue to look for a solution to death cases like mine.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Danish on XDA:
I m going to flash a custom ROM..tell me each step..and how do u ask a question on XDA
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
I didn't quite understand what you meant :/

But if you need help installing a Custom ROM, unfortunately I don't have a step-by-step guide because I've never done it on my Poco 😞
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] leninluvr:
Could you explain how to attach(?) the firehose to the other rom?
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
Of course! Just copy the Firehose file (Engineering Rom) to the MIUI rom folder you want to install. So you replace one with the other, and MiFlash automatically uses it in the flashing process (bypassing EDL Auth)
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Saqib Javaid:
my poco m3 is stuck in edl mode after update. But i can not flash it becuase it says " can not receive hello packet, trying to reset". Is there any solution
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
Have you checked how your device is recognized in Windows Device Manager? If it appears as "Qualcomm HS-USB..." and still doesn't receive the Rom, try installing another driver (download) or use another MiFlash version (download)
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] vianatales:
Remove your phone from your PC.

Keep the power button pressed for about 30 seconds, ONLY ONCE, then reconnect it to your PC.

Hit "refresh" in Mi Flash and try flashing it again.

This worked for me.

Good evening, can I apply this (Flash the MIUI ROM in EDL) with the locked bootloader? Thank you
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
Honestly I'm not sure why I didn't do this test, but you probably won't be able to flash. If your device is stuck in the EDL, i suggest you to

disassemble your device

and

heat up a specific part of the motherboard

using a soldering iron (or an iron, or a soldering/hot air station).

That specific part you can see in this image

HERE.

Using a soldering iron, touch it to the motherboard for at least 7min. Then reconnect everything and your device should turn on again when you press the Power button.

That way you can use the system normally and/or go to the MIUI settings menu to unlock the bootloader.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] alexccsve:
Thank you very much for the support, at the moment I only have a hair dryer, I will try it for 7 minutes to see what happens. Greetings and hugs.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
I'm happy to help!

But I don't know if the temperature of a hair dryer is enough. You would have to use it for at least 15min, and that will probably heat up the motherboard completely and not just the indicated place. If you can use a 'clothes iron' it would be much better, because it is in direct contact with the place on motherboard.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] alexccsve:
I was thinking about that, I will buy a pencil-type soldering iron, I will heat it only for a few seconds, I want to avoid damaging the plate, at least until I buy another cell phone, when I do the test I will be commenting on it. Thank you really for the support. Greetings and hugs from Venezuela.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
Good! But don't worry about damage, because if you touch the soldering iron in the indicated place for at least 5 minutes, the place's overheating is safe and will "release" the device from the EDL
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] joekerr00:
I'm having the same issue, I'm not sure how it happened but after a reboot the phone kept going into edl mode, if I let the battery drain it would reboot to system with no issues, but after me messing with the ROM (unsuccessfully trying to flash it from twrp/fox) it ended being stuck in edl and not being able to reboot I took it to the local mi service center they did something to it that allowed it to boot, they did change ROM I was on EMEA ROM they put Global ROM, sadly after two reboots it got stuck in edl mode and now I can't seam to drain the battery even if I let the phone sit for days and I connect it to a pc it enters edl mode, battery charge animation does not appear, I tried modified loader with both GLOBAL ROM and Eng rom from post above (I don't think it's engineer but english rom) they both flash in edl mode but the phone does not exit edl mode :(

this is a fairly cheap phone and servicing it is getting not worth it, while I did enjoy poco for a year or so this edl bug is making me think twice about the brand.

I'm willing to try soldering the area but I can't seam to open the case I tried a pick but it's too tight, maybe the back case is glued and it needs to be heated, any info on how to open back case and access that point would be appreciated.

I'm thinking maybe edl is a symptom not really cause for our issues but I have no idea what?
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] joekerr00:
after doing some googling I found a similar issue for a Nokia device

when I was trying to boot with twrp installed I did get a enablefilecrypto_failed error in twrp, there is a fix here but I can't boot into recovery to try it out my device is permanently stuck in edl

[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] xaadilhx:
Until recently my Poco M3 was a great backup to my daily Huawei.

Updated Google play system update & the system needed a restart. It didn't restart, it died, I left it for days, trying hard reset, rebooting, powering on etc, nothing for days, none of the solutions offered.

Only once the screen came on and showed battery at 100%, when I left it on charge. After about 2 weeks I gave up, opened the phone, disconnected the battery etc. No luck, although the pc saw the phone as emergency suite mode or whatever it was called before I updated the driver to the Qualcomm. Was unable to flash anything, tried as I had no idea how else to boot up the phone. Its been a nightmare getting things to work, but eventually thanks to this post I found the firehose file to bypass the authentication with the version of MI Flash. Was able to successfully flash the original version global.

Managed to get the logo, vibrate, charging percentage but no boot. Unsure what's next, but after this working to dead phone, I'm unsure I'd be will to recommend or invest in the brand. Such an old problem that still in ongoing in 2022. There should be a fix by the manufacturer.

Otherwise thanks for all those easing the pain of this nightmare great working undamaged phone can cant power up.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] xaadilhx:
Btw I've never custom flashed, always used official, have never messed with the original firmware, did not do anything to unlock bootloader,

Until this crash into EDL it was updated to latest official firmware.

Removed battery this morning for a few minutes, replaced connector and booted fully, completed setup as said it was factory reset. All data erased. Powered off to test & not booting up again.

Absolutely a big waste of time to boot a phone and can't power off or reboot 😑

Disconnected battery, held power button while inserting ribbon cable, it booted again 😐, do I dare power off 😖
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] joekerr00:
I was also on stock rom I didn't install anything custom aside from magisk.

ps. my phone woke up from edl with a nv data error, it's quite possibly a hardware issue, or this might have been caused by me selecting erase all when re-flashing it.

I'll take it to the service, I still have the box that has the IMEI on it.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] rotoko:
When the phone switches to edl, it is a software error, thankfully easy to solve.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] joekerr00:
How do you solve it, I don't think soldering the mobo is a fix

I know when my device entered edl it was after a system update I couldn't get it out of edl, I think it was my attempt to do a clean flash with mi tool that messed up nv data.

I took the phone to the local mi service center, if they fix it I'll write
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] seitentaisei:
Hi everyone. My Poco M3 suddenly went into bootloop for no reason. This was already fixed by the service center due to deadboot before. I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet so when I try MiFlash it is giving me an error message "Erase not allowed in Lock State". I found this thread and used the firehose EDL bypass but is still giving me the same error. The phone is in fastboot mode. Any ideas on what I need to do?
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] xaadilhx:
I try not to let my phone run out of battery or reboot. If it does then it's a pain to power up, usually remove the battery connector, reconnecting battery & pressing the power button multiple times while plugging the charger in all at the same time within a 3 second period. At some point you get lucky and the phone boots up.

Unsure I can get any permanent fix but this is the worse problem to have a perfectly working phone that can't boot 😐
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] sun_is_shinning:
to help all of you, if your POCO (no matter what model is) brick or dead for no reason just with battery discharge and you cannot turn it on no matter what and conect to PC and see qualcoom_9008 etc...

THE SIMPLE SOLUTION IS:

Press and hold Volume + and Volume - and Power Button all at same time until the POCO logo shown up on screen....and thats it. No need to open phone or mess with internals.

OBS: if they die with no battery let it charge for 4, 5 minuts before do that, cause if they run out of battery is normal to not solve right away.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] orzobimby:

Thanks for this.

Also my phone was stuck in EDl when doing an update on the phone.

Doing the flash with V12.5.8.0.RJFEUXM didn't solve it. Still not starting. But reconnecting the battery with power button pressed did the trick (I think). The phone was starting (after connecting the battery en releasing power button and pressing the power button again).

But when restarting is was again stuck in EDL. So I did connecting battery with power button again. Phone was starting.

Now I updated the phone (on the phone) with the new version 13.x. And now restarting was working again. Not stuck in EDL anymore with a restart.

Also recovery (power + volume up) was available again.

Maybe this helps others.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] rotoko:
And you can only get out of bootloop via EDL.
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Renate:
I was just fixing an anomaly on my own Windows EDL client (in the sig).

I see that there is a bunch of variability in how some Qualcomm devices react to reset.

If somebody would care to try this:

C:\>edl /lwhatever.elf
C:\>edl /z /v

(The first command is slash-ell-whatever.elf)

Please quote the result of the second command.

You need to use the Zadig driver (compatible with the Python EDL client, but not with stock Qualcomm apps).

You can reinstall the Qualcomm drivers later (if you really want).

Hi @Ozemir Elion , I followed successfully your steps to flash the ROM and the modified firehose file through EDL, but it did not remove the EDL stuck issue. What is this solution actually supposed to do? Is it a permanent fix? Or only a way to manually reboot from the PC command line or else? I tried to apply it to:

[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] Ozemir Elion:
Hello! Unfortunately, I no longer have the POCO M3 with me (switched to another device), so I can't test new possibilities. But this procedure that I shared on the forum serves as a workaround for us to be able to restart the device (it is not a definitive solution, as it is a physical problem in a chip, which requires a replacement).
[POCO M3 Questions & Answers] rotoko:
To flash in EDL, you need an engineering rom, e.g. POCO M3 (Citrus) ENG ROM, after installing it, switch to fastboot, install TWRP and install the classic rom through it.

I have a working work around : you can use the Ubuntu installer to install Ubuntu on your phone. The deadboot problem completely disappears but you have to use Ubuntu :/

Also there are some problems with Ubuntu on the Poco M3 here are those I have noticed :

- there is grizzling when you use max volume

- the notch on the screen isn't supported Wich can be annoying because some icons on the toolbar are masked by the front camera

- Bluetooth doesn't seem to work properly

BUT your phone is usable and boots every time without problem ! The thing that made me go back to the original OS was the sound problem and the fact I couldn't use the Google apps (Wich are not available on the Ubuntu appstore)

If anyone has recent info, please share

PS : this is my second and last Xiaomi phone, I also had ghost touch problems on my Poco F1. Knowing it is a software problem and not an hardware related issue proves how I'll intended Xiaomi is. Their smartphones' specs are very good but I feel like they intentionally make them obselete with their software. Shame on them !
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] ChristianFS1:
Hello everyone,

I bought this phone in August of this year.

Initially I was fairly satisfied with it (despite chassis creaks and the likes), but after a few months of use, battery life has taken a huge hit, especially after the update to Android 12. During the first couple of weeks of owning the device (where I took all precautions that I knew of to condition and take care of the battery), I was routinely getting 5-6 hours of SOT, with at least one instance of more than 7 hours of screen time.

Now, I'm consistently getting 1,5-2 hours of SOT, with identical use and charging patterns as before (as far as I can tell). Has anybody experienced something similar, and were you able to address the issue?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
May be a battery failure, they can go fast.
