As the title says.
I've been trying to fix this phone, which apparently has gotten a bad flash. I've tried already with different Scatter files, ROMs, USB cables, PCs (both win 32 and 64 bits) and still I can't find a way around this.
Whenever I connect it, it either connects as a PreLoader or as a MTK device.
After 10 or 11 seconds the phone seems to reboot and the flashing progress interrupts abruptly.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys.
I have for a few weeks one Xiaomi Mi3 16GB Snapdragon (WCDMA). Because I thought it was too slow, I flashed another rom by Mirecovery, but I think I used a wrong one because the phone is completely dead! I am not able to get access to the recovery mode or fastboot. The keys don’t work anymore.
This is the rom I flashed: xiaomi.eu_multi_NX403A_4.7.11_jb-4.2. downloaded on miuiandroid.com.[later I heard this is a rom for zte z5s mini, so really wrong one ]
After installing of MiPhone2.11.6, the first time when I connected the phone with the pc, the red led kept lighting on and the driver wasn't installed, but the phone was recognized by MiFlash(com20, i think): flashing did't work because there wasn't a communication with the port. After that I tried to reinstall MiPhone and afther some attempts, when I connected the phone with the pc, the red led kept lighting on for a few seconds and the driver was installed. But the phone wasn't anymore recognized by Miphone, so again no possibility to flash it.
I’m really desperate because i used the phone just for 2 weeks.
I would really appreciate if somebody would come with a good solution.
Thank you.

if you have no access to recovery or fastboot, the phone is finished
one of the worst things you can do to a device is flash the wrong software, as you see.
Good day gents and ladies
Well let me start from the beginning.
I'm was using mi-globe 6.12.22
Last week Friday evening downloaded 7.2.9 mi-globe,read around the mi-globe forum.Didn't see anything funny so flashed via twrp on Saturday morning.Hmmmmmmmm this is when all my problems started.
Basically what I should of done is download 7.2.9,new 3.0.3 twrp for norgat,go into recovery flash new recovery, restart recovery,flash 7.2.9 and then have happy days.But it wasn't to be and now I'm basically sitting with a useless mi4c device.
The device works but warms up and I only get about 4 hours battery life.
If I try boot into recovery I just get black screen.
If I connect device to PC it is not recognized, have tried 3 x different laptop/PC's and different cables.
So fastboot,mi-flash,mi-unlock are all not possible as device is not recognized.
I have been trying different solutions without any success.
I think if it would be possible to root device directly without PC then maybe it will be possible to get flashfire working and I can flash new norgat recovery?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
NB.I have tried loading Qualcomm drivers ,google drivers etc etc.no luck can't connect my device too PC,either get device not recognized or the PC doesn't even see the device.Enable USB debugging etc etc nothing works.Been fiddling for 4 days!!!!!!!
Tried to root with kingoroot,framaroot directly on device etc nothing works?
Please help,else device is a nice piece of plastic that holds paper down on my table.lol

Is usb charging via pc working and have you tried miui updater? , This seems weird state you have ... If none working might be tried deep flash cable flashing ... Or go to nearest service center. Hope that help. Best luck.
Hi,yes USB chargers device via PC but that's all.
How does one deep flash,could you post link please?
I bought the device in China about 18 months ago,Xiaomi never sold mi4c in my country so doubt they could help me locally.
Seems I have soft bricked the device?Tried every thing no solution.
If it would possible to root without USB cable I could maybe try flash new twrp via flash fire?Then could wipe all and try start again?

You havent answered the miui updater part, have you tried flash miui rom.zip, using miui updater apps ?
Does fastboot mode boot on your phone ? i mean the bunny sceen showed up ?
For dfc here the link http://xiaomitips.com/guide/miui-deep-flash-engineering-cable-solution-to-non-edl-device/
Please take dfc as last resort. And do research more on this... Do with your own risk. Good luck
Hi,
Yes sorry I have tried updater, I download rom start updater it starts but after about 2 minutes stops and phones shuts down.
I then have to restart phone with long press of power button. It restarts but nothing has changed.
Wrt fastboot it goes into fastboot but this is useless cause no Pc can see my device and if it sees it it sees unknown device, spent countless hours trying different things without any success.
Seems have soft bricked the device, phone works but gets hot and battery life maybe 4 hours if I'm lucky?
Not sure what more today?

Before this has your pc able to use the miflash ? Try to follow this guide to setup it correctly http://en.miui.com/thread-136188-1-1.html ... I follow this guide and the adb n fastboot even works on an old pentium 4, 512mb ram, win xp laptop.
Ps: I think, its only a matter of incorrect driver setup on your side, best luck.
Don't like Android v.12 at all, so decided to test our a v 13 build. Even worse. So, decided to roll back to v11... something very bad happened along the way.
After getting the 11 dev version installed, I was installing another v11 rom and ended up with a Recovery boot loop,. Somewhere along the way while trying to fix that, my screen that will no longer come on at all. No vibrations or display no matter what I do.
Turns out, Windows could see it plugged in; albeit as Unknown Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). After lots of holding down buttons, lots of driver installs, disabling windows signatures, lots of different USB cables, leaving it on the charger overnight, and trying both USB and the USB-C ports, I finally got it to go from Unknown Device to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
Tried MSM, but after 10-12 seconds I would get Sahara communication failed.
Back to troubling shooting... Start MSM as amin, swap usb cables, test all ports, ect., no luck.
Somewhere along the way, it seemed to get even worst... now, after 10 seconds or so after plugging in the phone, it will disconnect, followed by reconnecting a few seconds later. It is being detected as as the Qualcomm and it shows the com port it is connected to, but the device will drop out of device manager every few seconds before reconnecting. It is acting like it is in some soft of EDL bootloop.
I tried uninstalling the Qualcomm drivers and tried several different driver versions ( unsigned 2.1.0.5, Authenticode Signed 2.1.1.2, and Digitally Signed 2.1.2.2).
Outside of that, I am at a complete loss of what to try or do. Any suggestions?

First try and go ahead and pick target and the start button on MSM tool. Then try the 3 button combo till it reboots edl. When MSM tool connects it should start process without rebooting device.

So, that actually stablized the driver connection; however, it also brought be right back to Sahara Communication Failed.
Progress (I hope)!
Thread '[Solved!] MSM Download Tool Issues - Sahara Communication failed, phone exits EDL' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...communication-failed-phone-exits-edl.4245913/
Thanks for the info and links. I am on Windows 11, which seems to be an issue for some. I will see about trying it on my wife's v10 laptop tonight and see if that changes anything.
Solved!
Three button reboots and then both volume buttons to get back to EDL as soon as the driver dropped seemed to work. Took a few tries (on Win 11 using original usb-c cable) but it installed the rom and booted up.
'course, now is on an India variant, so I still gotta get back to LE2115, but that is another story for another thread.

Thanks for the link, I will give that a go.
Most of the MSM packages I could find for the LE2115 specifically either were bad links or had viruses. I did find a global version, which is what I was originally trying to use; however, when I finally got past my other issues, it gave me some sort of hardware version mismatch error in MSM (don't remember the exact message).
Somewhere along the way, someone suggested the India version. That one worked and I wasn't going to quibble at the time, as my main concern was just getting the lights to come back on.
Now I have a phone with a working display, that is my next todo...

These are def not viruses and windows has warned me of these as well on Win 11. Just accept and install. These are legit af
Completely back up and running again. Ran into the touchscreen issue, but fixed by using the linked Global MSM above.
As an FYI: the virus issue was from a FizzyAps post linking MSM for LE2115 on a Google Drive share. Couldn't download the file because it didn't pass Google's virus scan.

Good deal. That's all we here for neway is to help one another.
Hi,
I f'd up when trying to install the pixel experience and chose the wrong rom. When I flashed it the phone went into EDL mode. The PC now recognizes it as Qualcomm.
I have found the correct ROM and tried to install it using several versions of MiFlash and QFIL to no avail.
I removed the phones battery and did the two point short and still, no change.
I bought a Xiaomi usb cable from amazon for Mi Note 10 and above and still same errors occur (yes, I tried all USB ports).
I have installed the unsigned drivers correctly, still, same error.
I hold all the buttons on the device for 30 seconds and then plug it in and hit flash ASAP. The result is always cannot read from COM07. Then, if I try and flash again, it says it cannot read hello packet.
With QFIL I get the sahara error.
I may be missing something here, I'm a noob who should have read the instructions and double checked everything. I have paid someone on telegram to help me, but they seem to be out of ideas too and can only suggest that it might be a hardware issue. Can installing the incorrect firmware damage hardware beyond repair?
At this point I am close to just giving up as it's taken so much of my time and the stress is unbearable lol.
Thanks to anyone who reads this post, hopefully there is something that I haven't tried yet.
Thank you
You need Xiaomi AUTH or proffessional repairing tools. Or wait untill someone patch the loader.

Hello,first thing i noticed is that msm tool finished with around 200 sec.i think that's not normal.I often use msm tool and every time finishes around over 300 sec.I see you have correct Qualcomm drivers.i'm not an expert but you must investigate a little bit more.good luck

Drivers are correct and I was flashing it with USB 3.0 port .
I would try older stock ROMs first. O+7pro have plenty of them regarding EDL/MSM mode.
Another thing are checksums. Try to check if your download was successfull by counting them from your side and by comparing what you have with provided download. It should match 1:1.

I have the old stock ROM which I flashed it in EDL but phone didn't boot when it is completed phone reboot too but not in normal mode in EDL again
Most often people have bad experience with qualcomm drivers. So make sure that you have some released after 2020 year, as oneplus 7 pro was released in 2020 year. Another issue is related to usb 3.x, better avoid that and try USB 2.0 instead, most of people have best results with older interface of that kind. EDL is kind of old solution, so better to stay away with USB 3.x and use USB 2.0.
Have you got any idea your flash is successful in edl tool? Have you got clean results or warnings/errors?
To be honest with you, I have to use EDL too, because I did wrong upgrade. I used custom ROM instead of stock ROM. Now I have not access to fastboot nor adb via USB either.
try different EDL ROMs, I found 2 threads. one is here, second there. As almost nobody anserws our questions, I will let you know what I did if I do it successfully.
Well, I discovered that I'm in pretty bad situation. In my case not only adb and fastboot does not works. It appears that EDL does not work either. Why? because I connected another oneplus phone over USB to PC and EDL mode was detected spot on. In case my o+7pro, well still same error as previously with adb/fastboot over USB. Something messed with USB on my phone at software side.
So I have to get motherboard get cheap. I do not thik that I can desolder flash or eMMC and revert that so easy.
Sorry Man, can not help you any
further. Turns out my issue is signifigantly other than yours.
