Hello, yesterday suddenly fall my Honor into water. Of course no water protection -> damage. Damaged display and digitizer in my case. Looks like everything else works.
Because i dont have adb enabled is possible to flash it with another ROM where is adb enabled. But without any display operation ?
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
I have had my Z5 with me since march 2016. But last week I have used my phone in the pool for few minutes under water and not more than 0.5 meters.
Unfortunately, and after taking the photos, the phone started to mess around and I have lost the LCD. I was able to use the digitizer to answer a call.
Later I have lost the digitizer. I have forced shutdown the phone and I have put the phone in Rice and Oats. Fortunately, the LCD came back to work and everything is just smooth except for the touch screen. I am currently using the OTG adapter and connected a mouse directly.
Isn't the Z5 waterproof? And why only the digitizer that had failed in the phone? Could it be some trapped moisture in the phone causing this issue?
Thank you for your help!

there is a limit to the water resistancy of a phone the Z5 is IP68 rated
http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/what-is-ip68-ip-ratings-explained
you can take a xperia upto half a meter of water for 30mins max, unfortionately you have to replace what you have damaged in your phone as it isnt covered by warrenty
Thank you, but in the specs they have mentioned IP68 with 1 meter for 30 minutes water tolerance. Anyhow, I have sent it to the supplier hopefully they can fix it. Sadly though, they should have stated clearly thet waterproofing is for a splash of water and not to be used under water. Z3 initial ad showed under water performance.
So, it's me again.. As the title says, water somehow got in the phone. I can see some humidity on both cameras. I noticed this problem when I tried to make a call and the device couldn't detect the sim card. So, I opened the back only to find water in the SIM slot. The SIM is working fine now as i managed to dry it out but now I have two more problems.. A) For whatever reason the devices overheats by itself way too aggressively and B) the touch screen is really messed up..
Safe mode seems to ease the touchscreen issue a bit but the phone is still useless..
And yes, i have used rice to dry it..
It's fully stock btw except the unlocked bootloader..
If anyone knows what to do I will be really REALLY glad as I dont have a backup device right now..
Thanks in advance.

Is the water visible under the LCD? If not then you might be able to save it. If water got into the LCD backlight, like my previous phone, the damage would be irreversible.
Your best bet would be to take it to a technician and disassemble the phone. Maybe try to get warranty claim if still applicable. Overheating means the motherboard is shorted and the battery needs to be disconnected as soon as possible. Also, disassembly is recommended to clean up any water residue to prevent further corrosion.
Now, may I ask, how did the water got in there? Did the gasket fail or you've made some mistake like not putting on the back cover securely?
The problem was the plastic covering the sim and sd slots. As soon as pulled out the cover that plastic fell down on the floor like it was never glued whereas the other plastic for the second sim was just fine. I will get a technician to fix it in the next few days but until then its staying in rice 24/7. BTW the touch screen does have some problems and it keeps on pressing stuff by it self, although i can fix it for a few seconds by placing my hand all over the screen when active and then closing the screen. When I open it back up the problems are gone for about 10 seconds. Also the is a wierd mark on the bottom of the screen that seems like water but it doesnt affect visibility that much.
Quick update: So, water seems to be in there after all those days as the screen gets worse every day that passes. The wierd thing is that I downgraded to lollipop because I thought that the 5.0 display drivers might be better for such a screen and.. Well the screen doesnt respond at all to touches.. Tech support will see the phone today or tomorrow but I dont think its worth to repair. :/
Best way to "dry" the pone is to turn it off, remove the battery if possible, and leave the phone in a bowl with RICE (yes rice) in it, fully covering.
Rice will suck up all the humidity close.
Hey guys.
So today my screen just randomly died. Didn't drop the thing. Used it the one second, the other second it was just dead. Phone still works. vibration, touch, sound etc still works, but the screen will not display anything, not even booting to recovery or fastboot.
Recently installed the global ROM. I got the phone in the original Chinese ROM. This poses a problem. Ordinarily, I would have sent this thing off to Xiaomi, but I am fearing that I may have voided my warranty by unlocking the phone and also installing the global ROM. So, I would greatly appreciate input on the following 3 points
1) What troubleshooting measures can I take to try and get the screen live again?
2) I have heard that I can flash the original ROM and this might help my case for a warranty claim. Problem is - 1) I cannot use the phone's interface, this might make it difficult to navigate TWRP. Unless I can control TWRP through the PC command line? 2) I never enabled USB debugging on the flashed ROM. However, i flashed something recently through TRWP (the Global ROM region fix), so I am hoping I can still flash things through TWRP.
3) If I cannot achieve the previous two points, is it worth sending this phone back to Xiaomi. I bought the phone through Gearbest and I live in South Africa, so I imagine safe shipping will set me back anything from 50USD to 150USD.
UPDATE: I managed to boot to TWRP - using the "adb devices" command brings up my device ID. Maybe there is hope for flashing the chinese ROM if I can simply navigate TWRP through the command line.
Is there not a fastboot image of the ROM you can flash? I'd send it back in anyway, chances are they'll just replace the screen and flash it back to stick.

Yes I believe there is. But I hope I can flash the original via MiFlash.
On another note - ive been doing some reading and apparently black screening on Xiaomi phones is actually quite common. I am beggining to think my black screen might be a software problem with having moved over to the global.
If anyone has some spare time - I would appreciate a step by step guide on how to revert to the chinese ROM (i am busy downloading it). I am hoping this might fix my black screen, and if not, then atleast I can send the phone back to xiaomi with stock ROM and make a warranty repair/refund
Thanks.
mi mix 3 very fragile
black screen, same happened to me, new phone, fell down and black screen. not broken , phone still vibrate, and ringing at a call . nothing shows up, useless . I had 3 xiaomi phones before, I broke the screen but they still work.
I destroyed a note4 screen after a car pass over it ( feel from my pocket driving my motorcycle,).and still work. I Have also a note5a prime with broken screen totaly working. Then I loved MI phones.
this mix3 is a ****, a little fall down,(whit gorilla protection in the screen and with
it the cover on it , and become garbage). I will not reapair it , will repair my note5a prime.
Lisent this : if you go fishing and your are not taking well care of your phone do not buy xiaomi mi mix3
it is slippery .
If you know any solution whitout replacing the display module, will appreciate. Regards. Martin
I had the same problem, do you have any solution without replacing the display?
Regards Andreas
my screen was replaced.. had same problems.
I broke my screen. Went to xiaomi hk and they fixed it. 860 hkd which I thought was fair.
Hello folks, I was using my op7p a few days ago and the screen just suddenly went black. The phone is still on and I can type the pass code with haptic feedback, etc. But the display is fully black, even after a hard reboot.
I've only had 4 months and I've never dropped it or got water on it.
I see my options as opening my phone myself and voiding water proofing to check the display connection, or attempting to format data in TWRP (without a display) and sending it back to the eBay guy I bought it off.
I really hope there's another fix because neither of these are ideal. Any ideas?
Can you still connect to your PC and execute commands? Could try wiping it like that and returning it.
After a replacement of lcd screen with frame, my phone is stuck in reboot loop. I have unlocked the bootloader and installed original and custom roms, but in all the same thing happens:
No problem working with TWRP, but when it tries to reboot, when it gets to the home screen it hangs, and reboots again.
It seems as if trying to load graphics is when the problem occurs, but the new screen is supposed to be original. I have also found that if I disconnect the battery, and then reboot with the NFC antenna cover loose, the mobile starts well.... until it touches reboot for any reason, which returns the bootloop.
Any ideas? Thank you very much
Do you self reair it or you just tae it to service?
I didn't do it myself, but someone who is used to repairing cell phones. But it is not a technical service for warranty claims.

The real damage was the broken LCD screen. My friend tried to repair it.
My question was why it only gives that problem when booting normally, never in TWRP mode.
I don't know if the problem comes from heating when using graphics, if it could be a bad connection due to bad connector condition.
I already said that if I boot with the mobile without the back cover, and with the cover where the NFC antenna is without the screws, it works normally. Maybe it's because it has more ventilation.

Maybe its due to uncompatible lcd or did he missed some component or damaged components inside the device
