How can I fix it without losing my data or at least make a backup
I have a question. I downloaded an update yesterday for Mi Max 3. The screen stayed black with the MI logo for hours. I tried the following but didn't work:
- Connecting to Mi PC suite, but it isn't recognizing the device.
- Downloaded many drives for the USB, but still the device is not being recognized.
- MiFlash recognize the device, but when I downloaded the Rom (both recovery and nitrogen) it is mentioned can't find file flash all.
- I tried to put some commands such as adb back up, but it informs me no device found.
- I tried to work whether on fastbot mode or without fastbot, without success.
I want to know what should I do, I don't want to lose the data on the phone.

Hi everybody,
ok I will try to make this short
I have an experienced user level ROM, recovery, boot, ..
My phone is BRICKED! Is it?
AT THE MOMENT:
- I get into fastboot mode
- I get into odin downloading mode
- I can't start in recovery mode
- I can't start bootloader mode
- I have a connection with a laptop (win XP, as win8.1 didnt work for me)
- The computer can communicate with the phone in fastboot mode
- The computer cant communicate with the phone in Odin mode (at the moment Odin PC SoftWare doesn't recognize the phone)
- I am sure the drivers are installed correctly now. Thanks to the guide with fully stripped drivers.
- Using different, multiple different, no thousand different methods I tried flashing the stock OS (Yakju 4.3)
- I like SkipSoft Android ToolKit (Although I used fastboot and adb commands, I find the toolkit to do the same thing..)
- I always get an Error, when the process of flashing starts.
> PC says : Error
> Phone (in fastboot mode) says: FAILWrite Fail
INTERESTING:
- While I still was able to get into Recovery, the phone couldnt mount the sdcard (=> the internal drive)
- Some of the methods I use make the phone CRASH
> means the screen stops at its position and slowly turns completely purple
- The phone power button doesnt start the phone, to get the phone doing something at all I have to trick it:
..> I plug it into the wall charger
..> I take the battery out
..> I put the battery back in
..> I wait
..> I can get into 3 routines:
^Normal starting routine (of course stuck at google start up, since no Rom is installed)
^fastboot mode (VOL + & - & Power)
^odin mode (VOL - & Power)
..> Then I can just plug the USB cable into the PC
- 2 days ago I had (every single version) of Odin PC Software recognizing the phone (phone was in Odin mode), but it also failed after trying the recommended and unrecommended settings. Ended with an error message.
HOW:
I left my phone overnight in the car (Temp: -2 deg C), while Im sure spotify and maybe other consuming apps were playing.
Next day, my phone battery was empty and I couldnt start my normal ROM. (I had Slim Rom installed)
It was stuck at the "Google" start up display.
First intentions showed that it might be more than just the Software :/
Many days and so many hours of work, research and reading in forums, I decided to take a shot and ask here.
I appreciate everything xda-members have done for me already. Though I never needed to register for my earlier questions.
Phone data:
Product Name - tuna
Variant - maguro 16gb
HW version - 9
Bootloader Version - primemd04
baseband version -
carrier info - none
serial number - -a3c208 ***
signing - production
lock state- unlocked
BUMP!!! I have absolutely the same problem!! I can access everything, i enter the recovery trying to WIPE every single thing data,system,cache,storage etc.. but it seems it doesnt work. The information stays. I tried to "softbrick unroot & stock" with a nexus kit, everything seems ok, but after it finishes installing, it boots up on GOOGLE and after 10-15 min it starts to BOOT MY OLD CUSTOM ROM THAT I HAD BEFORE, after another 15-20 min it finally boots up and the system is EXTREMELY choppy and unresponsive and after a few minutes it restarts itself. I tried ODIN and I faced the same problem, it goes well to ~45% and then it freezes, and after a short delay odin gives FAILED. I tried several more things that i found on the internet and xda but nothing helps. Probably a corrupted partition or something. THE DAMN STORAGE DOESNT WANT TO DELETE ITSELF FFS!! PLEASE IF YOU KNOW ANY FIX/ALREADY FIXED YOURS PLEASE HELP!!! I need my phone!
can you give us more information about the error message?

Similar, only difference is with fastboot i can successfully flash system.img but nothing happens. With odin it fails at around 45% and then freezes. Only difference is that i cannot boot to old stock and i dont have this pulpish problem. I simply reboot on my old custom ROM configuration with all my last known icons widgets.. but the phone is choppy and unresponsive as hell.
I only get an error without any further message after flashing any of the images...
Any idea anyone? Isn't it some hardware issue?
Noo man i dont think its hardware problem, for me it all happened when my phone suddenly restarted itself and after that it bootloops forever and i have those problems
Anyone?
does erase work?
yes
can you get into recovery?

ka
how do you know that erase works, I mean that what you erased has really been erased?
One of the erase command in the toolkit was succesful, I guess. But I will recheck every error or successful message later tonight.
still NOT working
2 months have passed and I was too busy with other things.
now back to it. the problem hasnt changed.
i try fastboot flash command:
[fastboot flash bootloader x.img]
- in Computer Terminal: 'FAILED(remote:Write Fail) '
- on phone: ' FASTBOOT STATUS - FAILWriteFail '
any idea, please?
So after accidently wiping everything I had on both SD and Internal memory trying to make a custom rom work, I was stuck with a phone that only has TWRP on it, basically. Now after I've been through this guide TO THE LETTER: http://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-android-marshmallow-lg-g3-d855-using-twrp-recovery/ I can see it installed an OS but I cant seem to get my phone to load it! SO then I tried entering recovery mode and getting back to default, it didn't change anything, so I tried installing Zoe rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/zoe-rom-v1-0-mm-6-0-stock-v30a-d855-t3402087) and It STILL ONLY LOADS TWRP even though the installation seemed to be successful!
So what do I need to do? Just flat out delete TWRP? or what? Pleas advise as I'm desperate. If needs be, redirect me to how to just completely reinstall everything from scratch to 6.0 or 7.0 (preferably). I was on 4.x.x for ages and I just wanted to update, instead destroyed my phone. Sigh.
UPDATE: Another thing I've tried is to flash it with KDZ file from the PC. I can see the phone, I can transfer files to it, but windows DOES NOT recognize in the device manage so when I tried to use the flash tool, after clicking "Start" it pops a new window which gets to 60% and then stops saying the phone is not connected to the pc.

I just got over something like this this morning. First, you need to ensure you have the LG Universal drivers installed for your phone. Get them here.
Next, reboot your machine.
After this, I made sure the PC recognized all 3 modes of my phone, TWRP mode (boot to TWRP, connect), Download Mode (boot to download mode with cable) and, at least in my case, the flashing lights mode (shows up as QHUD Bulk or something).
After that, I ran the KDZ restore program successfully.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
Dear All,
I bought a Mi max 2 months ago, after using it some,i decided to change my rom.
What i did:
1)Unlock phone via mi
2)Usb debugger
3)TWRP
4)Supersu rooted
Everything was fine.
I downloaded a rom and flash it in fastboot mode and BUM! total darkness.
After some research , I managed to reach my phone via MiFlash.
Mi Flash now sees my phone as a port device Qualcomm....
I downloaded a correct rom.
So what is my problem !
In EDL mode,I start flashing, 2-3 seconds it flashes than it says `can not see port`(I downloaded all drivers,disable/able driver enfor...sth)
And phone turns in NULL mode, no connection any more from pc to phone.
If i disattached/attached battery and connect again to PC in EDL mode, i can reach it for a few seconds and than again losing connection.
I need my phone to keep connected to my pc untill i will finish flashing.
It is complicated, i am not even sure if it is possible or i damaged my motherboard.
What can i do???
Thanks in advance
I installed twrp and bricked my mi max. I slid the slider to allow modification.
I get stuck at the mi logo on booting. It's not moving.
I can't even power off the phone. The stuck mi logo is always there.
I managed to roll back to the stock recovery.
Booting into this recovery is still possible but I don't know what to do from there since it cannot see any Tom to flash.
Booting into fast boot is possible, but the phone is not detectable on PC.it doesn't show up in device manager. It was previously detectable, before I flashed twrp through fast boot .
Is there any way to unbrick the phone without losing my internal sd card media?
No way to unbrick without losing media
Your phone is encrypted
Wipe data from twrp and flash any rom of your desire from ex-sdcard
This should unbrick the phone

I assume your device is unlocked, there's no way to unbrick you device without loosing data.
Try this step
1. Remove your battery / unplug battery & replug it again.
2. If can enter fastboot mode, and type this command on adb
Fastboot device (make sure your device is detected)
Fastboot oem edl ( your device will be blank & become qualcom)
3. If step 3 doesnt work, before connecting to PC. Connect edl pin on motherboard then connect your to PC (detect as qualcom)
4. Run Mi flash & flash your miui ROM, wait untill finish.
5. Try turn on your device.
Hope that help

Phone was updated to MIUI 11.0.2 China ROM last month. Unwanted content pops up like crazy. Run the debloat script from xda. Phone worked for a day and then start to reboot itself into recovery constantly. Locked Bootloader. Phone was registered with a xiaomi account. Do not remember if usb debug was enabled or not. Select MiAssistant from recovery, plug the usb cable to computer and "run adb devices" command list the phone as sideload status. Since I did not back up my data yet, I would like to know if there is a way I could save my data.
Here is what I have tried so far.
1) Tried to use QPST tools to save the data before I format the phone. I opened the back cover and used test point to enter edl mode. I can see the comm port (9008) but QPST tools could not make connection. It hang at recognizing the phone. So it seems I could not use QPST to save my data.
2) Tried to use MiAssistant tools to flash MIUI 11.0.2 China ROM to the phone to see if the phone can be recovered as MiAssistant can flash the recovery ROM without wipe the data. Downloaded and installed the MiAssistant 3.0 beta, and then downloaded MIUI 11.0.2 China ROM. The MiAssistant verified ROM correctly and started to flash the ROM. During flashing, while MiAssistant show progress at about 33%, the phone screen would show 90.49% and stopped increasing. The MiAssistant would keep increase till 100% and reboot phone but the phone screens stopped at 90.49%. After phone rebooted, it reboot into Mi-Recovery mode again. So flash failed. After enter MiAssistant screen again, run the Recovery pullcache command from MiAssistant tools will get the log from the phone. After went through the log files, I found the flash process stoped with error status "INSTALL_CORRUPT". Google the word "INSTALL_CORRUPT" and found no solution for the problem.
Would really appreciate if anyone can help me bring back the phone without wiping the data.
I have another whyred phone with the same version of ROM if that helps.
Thanks.
