Yesterday my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s broke down. Suddenly, it turned off and stopped reacting:
- the phone does not react to pushing the Power button, pushing Power+Vol. Up combination and any other combination;
- the phone does not react to plugging in the charger, phone does not charge; the charging indicator diode does not light up;
- leaving the phone with the charger plugged in for hours does nothing;
- after plugging the phone into a computer, Windows 10 detects new hardware - I can see the phone in a hardware manager as "QUSB_BULK_CID:0402_SN:********" (where stars are in the place of the phone`s serial number) but I can not do anything with it.
Is there any way to recover the phone from such a hard brick?
What about recovering data (photos etc.) from hard-bricked phone?

I came across an Xperia E device for flashing. But its hard bricked I guess.
So far, I've tried to revive it all alternatives except for disassembling the handset.
1) Does not charge with any charger.
2) Have used different batteries.
3) Does not recognize in Flashmode or Fastboot mode
4) USB is not recognized at all.
The only hope that seems to come from this handset is,
Sensor light. This is 'not the Red Light' that comes while charging or powering on.
A small light deep in the sensor appears when doing the following actions:
1) Connecting charger with or without the battery, activates this sensor light.
2) With the battery, when I power it on, the sensor light appears till I release the power button.
3) When doing the power cycle reset option using the volume down or volume up with power button combinations, the sensor light stays till I release the power button.
So there seems no life, in this except for this faint red light in the sensor.
Any ideas?
By the way, this seems to have happened after a full reset including the internal storage using the factory settings reset option.
Device uses a custom rom.
Take Out the Battery!
Hold Volume Down!
Plug in Charger - MAKE SURE ITS FROM WALL SOCKET NOT PC!
YOU SHOULD BE IN FLASHMODE!

I got a Sony Xperia E C1505 (Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No).
I have flashed it with free a firmware (C1505_11.3.A.2.33_CE.ftf) and made a backup of the TA partition.
Later the cellular is rebooted and does not boot again anymore, staying in a difficult state of hard bricked and the symptoms are same described by shaam_viru.
In general:
- Volume up down no response (obvious)
- Volume key down no response
- Any USB device (MTP, MSC, Flashmode) is not recognized
- The battery does not charge (wall socket was used not PC)
- Phone do not turn on with or without the battery and the adapter plugged
- Turned on with the battery or with the adapter, the device is limited to cast a faint and fuzzy flow of red light
Greetings.
same problem
I am currently facing this same problem on my device......IT happened as soon as i wiped my internal storage(factory reset including data deletion)....I was on a custom rom as well...The symptoms are the same as the first post.
If someone can help me i would be very grateful
Pulled my bone-stock (with current OTA updates) Nexus 5 out of my pocket and the screen was already on. It was asking for an encryption password to decrypt the data on the phone. I figured it may have turned on in my pocket and the pocket movement caused too many pattern unlock attempts. I turned it off and went about my business for a bit. Now the phone won't turn on.
It does not respond to being plugged into a known working usb cable and usb charger.
It does not respond to being placed on a known Qi wireless charger (the charger does indicate a connection).
My computer recognizes it as a QHSUSB_BULK device, but cannot find/install drivers for it.
Tried every power combination of vol-/power, vol+/power, vol+-/power.
Any suggestions?
Sounds like you busted your bootloader. I guess even the secondary won't come up?(Both volume keys and power button)
secondary bootloader fix attempt
Unfortunately my phone did not respond to those combinations of power/vol buttons.
My LG G Flex 2 H950 was working fine, running google maps and playing music, plugged in to the car charger. Within minutes of leaving the car the phone was dead - I could not power it on. I can usually get it to show the LG logo by trying to start in Recovery Mode (holding the power and volume-down buttons for several seconds) but then the logo just disappears after a few seconds and the phone does not power on. But sometimes when I try this the red LED blinks on the phone screen and the logo may or may not appear. Sometimes (50%) when I plug the phone in to my Windows 10 desktop, the computer plays a tone to indicate a new device has been connected, but no icon appears in the list of hard drives or devices.
I think the battery is charging normally - when I connect the phone to a USB volt meter it usually (but not always) shows a normal amount of amperage flowing, and just now when I tried to start the phone it showed the battery charge icon on the phone screen (it doesn't usually do this) and showed 100% charge.
Is there anything else I can try, even if just to get the phone running long enough to backup my text messages etc?
Is there any way to test what's actually wrong? I'd hate to spend money on a new battery or charging port etc for a slim chance to temporarily fix a phone that seems like it's dying.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions...
Hey, i've got the same problem since today. i was watching youtube videos when the phone suddenly stopped working. did you already find the problem?
Sorry for my bad englisch ( Dutch)
No - not solved, phone still dead. Still would love to hear any advice...
I used to have the exact same problem as you - bootloops at the LG logo, no recovery etc. After some reading it seemed that the battery was the root of the problem, and after replacing the battery my phone was back to life - no issues ever since. I recommend you check if the battery is the issue by connecting it to a normal charger (i.e. not charging from a PC) and powering it on, by holding the power button at the battery charging screen. If it powers on normally then it's most likely a battery issue, which can be easily fixed. Cheers!
Hello! I could not find a section for my phone, so I am posting here.
My Zenfone 5 Selfie/Lite (ZC600KL) randomly "bricked". After being left alone charging for 20 minutes, when I came back it was turned off. Holding the power button resulted in the phone showing the "Powered by Android" logo, then the ASUS logo, and stop there.
I don't think it's a battery issue as it always lasted a long period of time; this is the first time anything like that happens, and might be the last. I also never tried meddling with my phone (rooting or the likes of it), so I'm pretty much clueless. I messed around with the phone, turning it on and off for a while, letting it run out of battery and charge it again, leaving it stuck on ASUS logo over night, to no avail.
Here are some things that I noticed that might help solve this problem:
1. After I connect the charger, the screen shows an empty charging battery along with the LED showing the red color (which means no battery). After 5 seconds, the screen turns on again by itself to show the true state of the battery, which is whatever % it is right now and the correct LED light (orange/green).
2. Turning on the phone makes the "low battery" buzz followed by a normal vibration. If it's charging, the "No battery" red LED shows.
3. I can turn on the fastboot mode by pressing Volume + and Power, but it only shows "CSC Fastboot mode!!! Long press power key to shutdown device". While on fastboot, my computer recognizes the phone is connected through USB, but I cannot access the phone's storage.
4. Pressing Volume - and Power does nothing besides restarting the phone.
My english isn't the best, so I apologize. If there's anything that I messed up and you can't understand, please do tell me.
P.S: Zenfone 5 Selfie is the same phone as Zenfone 5 Lite, but it is known by both names for some reason. Thanks for reading.

Exactly the same problem and phone I have here and Google research has been useless plus it appears this model phone has many firmware versions also
I have tried flashing firmware in fastboot mode but the ADB and fastboot tools won't work as it shows write protected as it appears bootloader is locked and am struggling with QPST also got so desperate to get phone working I even checked out some of those android repair software like DR fone then realised they want $70 USD and instantly removed the software haha
Hope we can get answers but seems like that maybe no one has solutions for this
So yesterday i wanted to charge my phone cause it died, before charging it i dropped it by accident and when i tried to charge it it gave no response (just the white led, i couldn't turn it on, there wasn't any vibration).
I waited for several hours for it to charge but nothing, i started to try to flash it, the problem is that the phone doesn't appear on "devices" in windows, it's not even unrecognized cause that's another problem but the device appears (tried different usb cables and installed drivers in a bunch of ways).
Connecting it just turns on the white led, pressing button combinations does nothing, and it isn't the screen cause there's not even vibrations from when u turn it on or something, every input does nothing.
is it over?
