I have a 3-month-old Xiaomi Mi 6 that was working perfectly until Friday. I took it off the charger at around 9am, and by midday it had switched itself off. Now it's basically bricked; no amount of charging or holding power/volume button combos can wake it up. It's not detected by my PC over USB and display/notification light stays off. I'm currently leaving it off the charger for a few days in the hope it's a hard software lockup that needs the battery to drain before it will reset and power on again, but I'm not hopeful. I haven't had any water-related incidents with the phone, about the wettest it's gotten is in my shorts pocket at the gym, but I don't sweat much so pretty confident it's not water damage. Anyone got any advice aside from sending it back to Xiaomi for repair?

I was reflashing my mi6 through the TWRP recovery and the process was stuck at 99%. I waited some amount of time and decided to "reboot" it. So I held down the power button and turned it off. Since then my phone doesn't react on the power button anymore. I have exactly the same symptoms like you described. In my case, it is my fault but I thought it should only update some files in the internal storage, nothing more. I'm puzzled how could it turn into the brick because of that. I expected that at least the screen would turn on.
Also, as far as I can tell, a charged phone can stay in the off state for months. I think you need to find a better way to drain its battery. You may try to connect an external HDD through OTG cable.
So, I was able to unbrick my phone. It was unlocked, so if yours is locked you probably need to disassemble it and put to the EDL mode with help of the tweezers. Try to connect your phone to the Windows PC. Windows 10 detects and installs Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver automatically. After that, you need to download MIUI ROM Flashing Tool and a fastboot ROM for Mi6 from here h t t p : / / en.miui.com/a-234.html. Unpack ROM's archive to some directory, open the Flashing tool, click "Browse" button, navigate to that directory, then click "Update" and "Flash" buttons. It helped me.
Thank you very much for the extra information. In the end I decided to send it back to Xiaomi for repair, but I'll keep your tips in mind for next time in case it happens again. Honestly though, this is a pretty huge design flaw if the phone does need to be hard power-cycled every so often due to an OS crash. I've been very underwhelmed with MIUI too, so I may end up just selling the device once I get it back and switching to the most popular Lineage OS phone of the moment.
A riveting update for those on the edge of their seats, turns out this was a fault in the mainboard and they had to replace the part. Wowee, what a plot twist! Phone is back in working order now.

great to hear that you have your phone back, did it really took 1.5 months to get your phone back?
Regrettably so. It was a combination of factors: I live in Australia and bought the phone from a Hong Kong eBay seller (everything takes 3-4 weeks between asia/Australia unless you pay for express shipping), and they had to send it back to Xiaomi's repair centre there, and Xiaomi had it for a week or two, so it all took quite a while to get back. The joys of buying a phone on the grey market. This is the one area that Apple service shines.

Seems my mi6 has the same bug, most likely its gone to mobile heaven now.
Sorry to hear that. I wonder if Xiaomi had some quality control issues?

I think defects are normal with these high tech smartphones. Quality control cant see the small issues that manifest themselves into mobile deaths over time.
You have just found other like minded people with the same problem here.
People without the issue are staying quiet haha.
Companies usually just build in these defects into their projections and swap out the device when needed.
I think most people who have warranty issues with Xioami are the ones like me who buy through third parties.
So you have to return the phone to seller. They then return it to their supplier who then passes it onto Xiaomi for warranty.
That's where the long wait times come from for international owners.
I had more issues with Sony and even with warranty directly with Sony my phone was returned bent from a warranty covered screen replacement.
They fix one problem and create another. At least with Xiaomi I'm seeing people get the phone repaired and that's the problem solved
Did you think about EDL Recovery ?
Hi There,
HT70 seems to be one of the best Battery Phone for 170$/150€ price tag.

I received some days ago and i'm able to give you my thoughts:
5.99 "HD +, Mediatek MT6750T 1.5Ghz, 4Gb Ram 64Gb storage, Android 7.0, Cam IMX135 13Mp + 2mp secondary (not specified) + Flash dual led and front 8Mp, 10000mAh, Type-C, Led Notification, OTG, GPS Glonass , Dual Band Wifi, Gyroscope + Compass.
Bundle
Very compact package for this HOMTOM HT70, does not reveal the brick inside ... matte black box containing the phone, the English manuals, the USB Type-C Red cable, the OTG Type-C USB-A cable (Also for Reverse Charge), a Transparent Silicone Case, an additional plastic protection for the front glass, the 9V 3A charger with EU socket and a Type-C adapter to 3.5mm headphone jack. As mentioned the charger is 9V 3A and allows a complete charge of the 10000mAh integrated battery in about 3 hours 30 minutes.
Design, Display, Materials, Ergonomics, Keys, Performance
Good use of materials for the price range of the device, the frame is in metal and the back in plastic with a "reflective" effect like the Honor 8 (holds the fingerprints), 2.5D rounded front glass and 5.99 "18: 9 display with resolution HD + 720x1440 and about 268ppi Very cumbersome and bulky (165x77x14.4mm approximately for weight 310g), although heavy it seems to be balanced in handling.
At the top right of the headset there is a notification LED, hiding screen keys (with the possibility of customizing the back and multitasking position) and rear fingerprint reader moved to the left with respect to the dual camera. The MT6750T CPU with a Nougat stock ROM guarantees fair performance and usability of all contents.
The rear fingerprint reader is just a touch (no physical), you have to make a hand a little bit, since the position is not really natural for the right hand.
The 5.99 "screen proves to be a discrete IPS LCD unit, HD + resolution and has a density of 268 ppi. Good color rendering (customizable in various aspects with Miravision) unfortunately , no rounded corners as we have seen in the least screen 18: 9.
Volume and Power keys on the left, tray for two Sims (NANO format) on the right hybrid 2in1 (by renouncing the second sim you can use a MicroSD).
Memory, Battery, Sensors, Reception and Audio
The memory cut for this Homtom HT70 is equal to 4Gb Ram + 64Gb Storage, possibility of expansion with MicroSD (up to 128Gb definitely supported) renouncing the use of the second sim.
The battery is performing very well and allows records in terms of lasting, (at least 13 hours of screen, allowing about 3 days of intensive use mixed WiFi + 4G).
the sensors are complete and we have Sensor Brightness, Proximity, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass .. the Type-C port has OTG compatibility.
The telephone reception is of good quality, stable 4G hookup with the tested some carriers, audio quality of the headset capsule and the speaker (placed in the lower left frame), more than discrete, very high volumes and good range of frequencies. The presence of the Dual Band Wifi 2.4 and 5Ghz is interesting.
FM radio present using type-c adapter and headphones (not supplied).
Photos and Videos
The rear camera sensor is Sony IMX135 f / 2.8 13Mp (interpolated to 16Mp), focus of the previous generation (not PDAF), good quality of the day shots, even if the focal aperture does not help; the photos enabling the HDR function lead to a good dynamic range, but the very clear areas appear during the shooting of purple (the shot is still good). Video side is the FullHD at 30fps. Only the dual LED flash is sufficient, which in any case helps in the dark. The yield in critical lighting conditions is very poor .. both for focusing and for details ..
The front camera is an 8Mp F / 2.4 module, the results are more than discrete for all uses.
Final Considerations
it HT70 the Battery Phone of the year?
Let's say that this Homtom HT70 does not reach excellence in anything in particular, it combines an old-fashioned cpu with the new "fashion" 18: 9 form factor, but it does it trying to keep the price low and adding the Type-C that in the price range to is proposed, do not mind.
Obviously we can not expect miracles, both for the nature of the Homtom itself, and for the price range.
An honest terminal, for those looking for a robust terminal and to bring with them without worries in case of distance from the socket.
The price that varies between € 150 and € 180 based on the shop, puts it in the low-end market ... and take those figures a 6 "HD with 4 + 64Gb of memory and 10000mAh battery, is not to be underestimated .
PROs:
- 10Ah HUGE battery
- Low price range for 4GB of Ram and 64GB of storage.
- Design and excellent construction.
- 6 "HD + 18: 9, 2.5D glass with Gorilla Glass protection with good characteristics.
- Good support of 4G, including B20 (there are also other bands for USA / World) and good Audio.
- Package Contents, Extra Film and Silicone Case, OTG Type-C Adapter and Type-C Jack 3.5mm ..
- Off-screen gestures and various personalizations included in the ROM.
- Wifi both at 2.4Ghz and at 5ghz.
- Rear fingerprint reader, LED notification, OTG compatibility.
- GPS with good accuracy and quick fix
- Compass and Gyroscope
CONs
- Resolution is "only" HD + that maybe is poor for a 5.99 " screen.
- Cpu is an old gen, perhaps the use of a P23 would have been more appropriate.
- Very heavy and cumbersome (it's pretty normal for a 10000mAh 6 inches screen).
- No 3.5mm audio jack and need to use the adapter type-c (provided)
- Secondary rear camera for "bokeh" is useless (software effect)

How to root this monster?

It seems that a custom recovery TWRP was compliled and with the help of Magisk, you can have root. Please check :
https://www.stupdroid.com/2018/06/HOMTOM-HT70-root-twrp.html
P. S. I'm not responsible for any damage or brick, the guide was not tested.
I already tried but seams to be impossible to unlock bootloader of the monster.
I have flashed the TWRP recovery with spFlash tools with no problems but after reboot the stock recovery is always present.
I am throwing this as an open question to everybody here!
I have checked the firmware of HomTom HT70 MTK ROM structure. (Maybe I am a bit outdated, but based on all previous "old "MTK firmware that I have "modified" , I am familiar with them). In this stock newer HT70 ROMs there included a duplicates file e.g."recovery-verified" or "boot-verified" whereas in the older ROMs there are only "recovery" or "boot" image files. I have checked on SPFlashTool either one of these will be read as normal e.g if in one ROM there is only "recovery-verified" or "boot-verified" without the "recovery" or "boot" files it will be loaded as normal. I have checked on a Lenovo ROM K9-Lite there are only "recovery-verified" or "boot-verified" files and the SPFT load it all the same.
Now what if we modified the structure to load only the "recovery" or "boot", etc (without the "-verified") and change the stock recovery to TWRP? (this is what I usually do with my ROMs). Will the TWRP recovery stick? Normally with my Lenovo ROMs after a full reflash with stock revovery substituted with TWRP recovery , I could immediately boot into TWRP and there is no trace of the stock recovery accept for the function of "power & vol+ button".my I will be receiving HT70 sometime towards the end of August. ( got it at USD 128) and as usual will immediately root an install TWRP (all my 11pcs personal Androids have TWRP +rooted)My main worry is what is contained in the "trustzone.bin"??

Keep us posted whatever you try
Please try it and post here your results.
hi i try it and dont work bootloop and reflash stock firmware with sp flash tool
I want to root this phone please how to make this?
^Stand in the line buddy, you're not the only one
Yes . The litlle monster is a hard one.
hi Any new news about the root?
Added screen captures
I just got my HT70 and had already reflashed it 5 times in order to find a method to flash TWRP recovery. But I got my phone with a flaw it doesnt respond to recovery using Vol+Power buttons and it always shows a blank screen out of the box.
But a word of CAUTION here! There are many claims to TWRP for "HOM TOM HT70" from TWRP 3.1 to TWRP 3.2.2 and I found out the hard way when I tried to flash the 3.2.2 version that it was a dud. It got my HT70 into a frozen state stuck at boot up screen forever even its size is questionable the stock is 12k but the TWRP 3.2.2 is 16k normally difference in size are 15-25% only. So be careful what you try to flash on your device.
But I have unlocked the bootloader successfully and I can confirm it is permanent even after a reflash of the ROM (using "download" , I have not done an "upgrade" reflash after unlocked in SPFLashTool)but you will have a slightly "dirty" boot up screen with " Orange State - Your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted" message written on "HOMTOM" colored boot up logo. (lucky thing it is in a very tiny font).
The best I can think of doing is temporary reboot into TWRP without flashing(if you found the correct one) and doing your operations from TWRP and after reboot it is back to stock recovery. ( Oh! wait I cant even access my stock recovery!)
I did all my operation on Win 10 Pro x64 using Windows PowerShell (Admin) - less headache. I found my \adb folder somewhere in my C:\Users\**yourname**\adb\ and since Windows PowerShell (Admin) defaults to C: Windows\system 32\, I copied the adb folder into that address and as you can see all my commands were executed from there. ( the reason I used PowerShell (Admin) is because it is an elevated privilaged command and on some occasion using normal PowerShell it will request for an Admin privilage.
If you are having problems "boot unlocking" (seems like the PC is waiting on you and you waiting on PC) assuming that you got everything correct upto "fastboot oem unlock" and hit enter. You actually have to immediately press the "Vol +" button. and within a split second it is unlocked permanently.
I even managed to flash recovery but it was a dud. I am really puzzled as to all this prolifiration of TWRP recovery supposedly for HT70 because the model was only launched in April then suddenly by June/July there were many claims that they had TWRP ported to HT70 already. Based my other MTK unlocked/no lock bootloader models especially my favorite Lenovos it will take at least a few month for a dedicated modder to mod a TWRP recovery (that is if he happens to buy the same model as us and he has free time) Please remember HT70 is a 4Gb/64Gb MTK 6750T model and if I am not wrong, there arent many 6750T 4Gb/64Gb models floating around and 6750 and 6750T would require different version of TWRP.
I would have to ask my MTK specialist friends to see whether they are willing to help out. But nobody is working on TWRP as far that I know.If you still insist then try a temporary boot into TWRP rather than flashing these questionable TWRP (especially if the website is based in India).
If you trying to flash or just reboot or flash anything on your gadget , please ignore other forum advise that you copy the "recovery.img" or "**.img" into the same folder i.e. in ":\adb" folder it will give you error message [ cannot load '**.img' : No such file or directory ]. For me to make it simple I copied whatever *.img file onto my root D:\ directory and there immediately got no error message. Thats all folks! I will visit again when I have an actual working TWRP and root methodoloy in the future hopefully somebody would beat me to it.
My observation of the performance of HT70 thus far. After 1 week of heavy usage of device the battery lifespan seems to be getting shorter. Standby is reasonable for an active gadget (I guess my daughters Lenovo Tab A8-A5500 can last longer in standby mode than my touted HT70 almost 3 weeks in sleep mode with instant on at that).
The camera really, really sucks : in room 10 feet away from a window in broad daylight (of course at 10 feet away it gets darker - low light but not to the point that you have switch on the light, at worst it is "romantic") I want to take the picture of my 3 months old grandaughter lying on the bed and it was so "grainy" using the native camera app that it was unusable. But picture is alrite in outside the house. Even my 6 year old Lenovo 8Mp camera have not captured a low light picture so grainy that it is unusable even at night without flash.
But then I installed my favorite Open source camera "Open Camera" (I always installed a second camera app on my gadget)and the picture quality significantly improved without the grainy effect that I got using the native MTK camera app. So I guess it was the MTK app that played a significant role in the poor camera performance. have not tried any other special effects camera yet.
It is best for you to place your replacement battery order ASAP with its Charger also. Have you notice that it doesnt conform to any USB C fixed charger specs. It is a 9V /3.3A power behemoth. The USB 1/2/3/C all calls for a 5V supply for fixed voltage charger only variable voltage chargers have different specs. Your power banks, after market USB chargers, PC (intelligent) USB outputs would have a tough time coping up. And tough times means you run the risk of premature death of your PC USB port , USB, chargers, Power Banks not to mention the slow charging up time. The current standard charger can charge the HT70 to 100% from <5% in 1.5- 2hours. In case of emergency your best bet is to use your PC USB port.
And my assumption is correct you can or should remove from you ROM all files with "**.verified" into a temp folder out from the main ROM and flashed without problems. And when you have found out the correct TWRP find a way to root it first and in the "build.prop" of the HT70 delete the last entry line as it contains a reference to the stock recovery with this line
"ro.expect.recovery_id= 0x5c4eb26c22b2e0939f468197a33940618b8e170200000000000000000000000" it expects to read the recovery signature everytime it reboots! I have a copy of the "build.prop" that I was able to extract. But unable to do much until I can root it successfully. Feel free to check out the "build.prop"
I am thinking of getting this monster device. It seems to have good performance and a strong battery. If it has the google feeds then I won't need to root, these days I only root to get the feeds and that's it.
^What feeds are you referring to?

I belief what he is referring to is it Google compliant.
Yes, it is a "world" ROM. "ROW" - Rest of World" ROM rather than CN(China) ROM. What heck would anybody wanna buy a gadget with CN ROM when you are outside of China, I am puzzled? If you ordered online then clearly you had been scammed , if you come across a model that is not available on AliExpress (a reliable yardstick that the model is either Google compliant or if the seller scammed you that a ROW ROM is available somewhere). There are models that is CN only and no matter how much mod you do (a bastardised ROM that have some Google apps but non functional) will not get you YouTube, Playstore to function. Dont be fooled by the price, there is always a catch. Example 2Gb / 32 Gb specs for less than the price of those memory chip and it actually turns out 1Gb/8Gb. Have seen those on local online store with customer screaming murder at the seller. Guess people are suckers from their own stupidity. Experience makes you wiser. I bought many years ago a Lenovo A880/A889 with a bastardise ROM and when it boot up it welcome users in Chinese it set up as China Unicom model but that model has a version with a barely Google ROW ROM (Gmail,Google Search, Playstore, non functional YouTube) that I managed to stitched together with a Russian modder but it took us 2 month. Never again!
So far no one click root is able to root HT70. I have tried nearly all of the known One-click-Root on Android or on PC (result from the same root prgram on PC can vary. Like a device I currently owned it cannot root using the PC version but successfully rooted using the "***.apk" bear that in mind.)
This is the list :
VRoot.apk(MgyunRoot.apk/Romastersu)
KingoRoot.apk/PCversion
KingRoot.apk/PC version
Framaroot.apk
360Root.apk
RootMaster.apk
UnversalAndroot.apk
BaiduRoot.apk
UniversalAndroot.apk
At least these are the only root app from China that I dare to install the rest I'll pass!
Need to write up a script to install using ADB exploit.
Cant live without root!

Are you saying the HT70 is CN based rom and not Stock Android? I am not talking about the Google Compliant, From the videos it appears that it is running stock android, or looks like stock android. I like Stock android especially the launcher, I only root phones now just to get the Pixel Experience. If this has the Swipe Left too Google Feeds then i'll go for it. I am currently using Leagoo T5c and it does everything. Had to unroot and stick to Lawnchair, though the Lawnfeed needs root to give me what I need, but I will manage for now. Hometome is my next Gadget. Jumia in Nigeria has made it easy to buy stuffs only and the return policy makes it interesting.
Actually, you swipe to the right in order to get to the panel that's on the left, and there is Google Assistant and feed, yes. Swiping to the left reveals right-side panels with randomly scattered app icons.
I just wanted to say that I didn't see any updates, but now I checked manually and there's a June patch available.
I am making this post so it is more broadly seen by people who have a specific hardware issue.
This solution is for issues specifically with the board being fried or more likely broken solder connection. I found this solution while browsing Chinese Custom Rom threads and apparently it works.
Absolutely it's better to pay a professional reball the broken solder connection.
There is a do it yourself/cheap method that definitely does not involve using an Oven.

Make sure you followed all of the unbricking steps here https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/unbrick-leeco-phones-leeco-variants-t3847220 before even considering this method..
There are 3 unbricking methods mentioned
Qfil with Flash 2.0 or 1.9 ( Try both)
QPST ( Instructions in first comment of unbricking thread)
Flashbat.all method ( Instructions on Unbrick OP, and in first couple of comments)
Hi
What do you think, can I repair this problem? :
My phone is dead. It is not able to turn on, it just squezing sometimes, if I push the turn on button. The screen is full black since the shut down. No logo no any fastboot screen, nothing. The led light was pale green before the qfil.

I wouldn't bother trying this possible solution unless you are 100% sure that you have broken solder connections. Just because your phone doesnt turn on doesn't mean its the chips. It much more likely that your issue is just the battery.
Also just so you know when the board is fried the phone will still turn on, and will boot to fastboot but not recovery, qfil works but does nothing and if you boot to fastboot and leave it on the fastboot screen the screen will turn to static. At least this is what happens with the majority of chip death issues. However there was one case that I know of on a friends X722 which could not go to fastboot, and that issue ended up being a fried GPU, which this possible fix may resolve.
If you are only getting a black screen leave the phone plugged in overnight ( preferably with a different cable) , After knowing that the phone was charged for long enough what happened? Did the phone get warm at all? Does the phone vibrate?
If the phone does vibrate, try using the QPST method, it's the 2nd post on the Unbricking thread mentioned above in the OP.
Another possible cause of your issue is static, they only way to test and possibly resolved is to unplug the battery from the board and plug back in again. Should you attempt trying this, only use a heat gun to melt the glue holding the screen on...there is alot and a hair dryer will not work, without damaging your LCD.
If I had your issue, I would order a battery and LCD, and swap the battery, there is a good chance it will work. If not you can move on to more drastic solutions such as the one mentioned in the OP. Worse case scenario, you will be out the cost of the battery which is about $7 and LCD which is about $15
Good Luck and make sure you followed all of the steps here https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/unbrick-leeco-phones-leeco-variants-t3847220

This thing here I believe is very important, so much to put it in special color
>>Also just so you know when the board is fried the phone will still turn on, and will boot to fastboot but not recovery, qfil works but does nothing and if you boot to fastboot and leave it on the fastboot screen the screen will turn to static.
I guess it's certain now that I have some harware issue, most probably if GPU is separated from the CPU.

I don't know if it's just me who is unlucky but I have lost yet another USB board. This time the one you sent me burnt up as I connected it to my PC. I don't think it's a cable issue because I was using a high quality USB cable from BASEUS. How could it be that I'm not seeing more complaints like mine?
This time I think it could have been caused by dirt in the port because I'd just returned from my rural area and there I did a lot of work involving dirt. Also, there was a slight shower that got me on my way back and I keep the phone in the pocket with the USB port exposed and looking up. My patience with this phone has just about run out now. This is the worst investment I've ever made on a phone :crying:

Wow, sorry to hear that. I think that those LeEco phones are hit or miss. But it really doesn't seem that they were made to last more that a couple of years. I have fried the usb card myself, when I bought very first leeco, its too easy to fry those cards, and in retrospect the Leeco charge is too powerful. The remaining Leeco that I have left charges much better ( stays cooler) when using my Xiaomi Charger.
I agree that you have had some really bad luck. I would not put any more money into it. you are better off buying a cheap Xiaomi...even a used one. You can find some good deals on Amazon and Swappa. Amazon also has refurbished Samsung phones, and they are highly reliable.
You can get a Galaxy 7 for $139 https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Gala...s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1573693012&sr=1-4&th=1 and they are really good phones.
Here is a renewed One Plus 6T for $267 https://www.amazon.com/OnePlus-A601...ked+cell+phones+renewed&qid=1573693220&sr=8-4
LG V30 for $177 https://www.amazon.com/LG-Camera-Si...ed+cell+phones+renewed&qid=1573693365&sr=8-21
I bought my daughter an A3 and honestly I can't recommend it enough. For a tight budget I personally feel that this is one of the best deals out there for ony $158 ( $50 less than what I paid 2 months ago) https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-A3-64...=sr_1_3?keywords=Xiaomi&qid=1573693435&sr=8-3
It has an Amoled Screen and comes with Android One with zero bloatware. You basically get a custom rom experience with a stock phone. To make matters better Android 10 will be released for the A3 in January. The camera, is light years better than the Le Pro 3 and the processor is honestly fast enough, for most of us. No doubt, its more expensive than just getting another card. But saving yourself from the hassles of these constant issues will make it worthwhile. The only drawback is the screen is 720 instead of 1080. But I swear, if you place in side by side with my Mi8, most people would never guess, that the resolution is a little less. Because it's still an amoled screen.
Best wishes, unfortunately I don't have any more working cards or I would send it to you.
I've learned that quick charge is dangerous. I'm using now an usb meter that doesn't let an output beyond 1.4amps to charge my phone now, it charges pretty quickly in fact and my phone doesn't get hot now (even that I live in a hot area)

Yeah. The current pushed by the stock leeco charger is either too high (doubtful) or the charging system of the pro 3 isn't designed to handle quick charge 3 very well (most likely). I have used my stock leeco charger to charge my brother's Nokia 8 (Q.C. 3) and it gets just a little warm even with a case on. Also, the leeco charger is Quick Charge 3 certified so they must have made it according to Qualcomm standards.
I think it's the quality of the parts on the phone itself that are substandard. Since this USB board was sent to me by @tsongming and he had used it quite a while, I believe it could have been perfectly fine. My suspicion is that something else could be wrong with my phone like the USB flex cable. The kind of burning I saw must have been caused by power from the battery because the USB 2.0 port I was connecting to on my PC can only provide 2.5 amps maximum. This is not enough in my opinion to completely melt the usb-c receptacle on the phone. (It's very badly burnt). I will just have to charge the battery externally until I figure out whether it's worth investing any more money into this phone.

My X722 died because I just plugged in the cable to charge. Although I have to admit that the phone socket was not in optimal conditions because I used a crappy cable, so the last one I was using was charging fine but it had to enter in an specific position in order to quick charge to function. It's probably the charger IC that is damaged, but I haven't had the money to send it to repair.
As far as I know, the motherboards just provide 0.5amp unless you are using an special port that can provide more power.
In my opinion 2.5amp at 5v is not that good either, because it's pushing the limit of most phones at 5v.
I am guessing that buying the original $30 USB board from AliExpress won't buy me much time because they have all been used before. Almost every spare part of this phone is not brand new (except for batteries and screens, I guess).
I think it's time to cut my losses. My pro 3 not only needs a new USB board but also a battery and another high quality USB cable. I might buy all of that for $60 only to have the USB port burn again. It doesn't make any sense to keep pouring money into this phone.

What ? $30 usd ? I've seen it in $2.5 for 2 boards, well, not original of course.
You just need to check that it has the extra IC, because there are ones that doesn't has it... although I don't remember what was for that IC, but you can easy see it that some boards just are missing a chip.
As for the cable, I'm using some EFFE cables (EFFE is the brand) and they are working wonderfully, I bought 3 for $7 usd, they plug in fine and stay in too, they were recommended to me by a friend and I'm very happy with them. They even stop giving charge to my dead phone because they detect somehow that there is a short, well, at least that is what my usb meter tells me, although I don't know how do they manage to do that, I don't really think they have an IC in them.

For the record the board that I sent you came from a brand new, LePro 3 not opened bought in the spring 2018. However, I assume that it was made after Leecos public fall. I would guess that it was assembled with C grade parts, because my remaining, working LePro 3 is one of our first Leecos bought in 2016. It's also interesting to note that our 2 remaining X522s are both functioning just fine.
As you said could be the flex cables or just a shoddy soldering job that eventually shortened out the board.
Have you tested the board to be sure that it's not the port itself that is bad?
Another interesting thing to note is that Qualcomm removed Leeco from it's list of approved quick charge device list.
One last reason on why I feel that the charger itself may be part of the problem is that I have a 12 watt portable charger and the Leecos do not get hot at all when using it.
I threw my Leeco charging bricks in the trash after my daughter plugged in my Mi8 for me while I was cooking dinner. Not knowing that I had a preference, she used the Leeco charger.
Later when I checked the phone to see if it was finished charging, I found it was extremely hot, and this phone is rated for QC 4.0. So rather than taking any chances into the trash it went.

Wow!! Leeco really must have used grade c parts. I haven't mistreated that board even once since you sent it. That means it only lasted three months! It is just unbelievably negligent for leeco to use these parts. They must have been from the reject pile.
I don't need to test the board because the USB-C receptacle on the phone is completely melted. Connecting a charging cable seems to cause it to heat up fast and start smoking. It might have been a short on the connector that caused it to burn up. I think the quality of the protruding part with the pin connectors is just poor and repeated use loosens the pins which eventually touch.
I'm done with leeco for good now. I was thinking about fixing the phone to sell but that now seems like a lost cause. I'll keep it until it's dead and then take a hammer to it. Even selling it for spare parts might be a loss for me so I'm stuck with it.

I am sure that they used low quality parts on those last batches of phone, I heard via a friend who lives in Shenzhen that they hired a 3rd party to assemble the final phones... The ones that came with 32gb drives, no nfc or quick charge etc. It sucks because they had so much potential.
Whatever you end up getting. Please do stay in touch, I have enjoyed our conversations and I wish you the best.

This puppy is not out yet. I figure it's got one last hurrah before I throw in the towel. I've been shopping around for a phone with similar performance for around the same price but from the current generation of phones and I've not come across anything else. At least not in the same price range. Performance is very important to me and I just can't take a downgrade. I guess I'm stuck with it for a while.

Its good that it's still working for now. Unfortunately you probably only have 4 to 6 weeks before it stops working completely. I was thinking about you situation and made the list below of additional options/good deals.
The Snapdragon 665 has similar performance to the Snapdragon 821 and the Note 8, (the version with the SD665) can be had for under $200 : https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Displ...keywords=Snapdragon+665&qid=1573874157&sr=8-2
If you can spend a just a little more the Mi8's price has dropped to $250, https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-6-64G...ef=sr_1_1?keywords=Mi+8&qid=1573874317&sr=8-1 and I can't recommend it enough. It's definitely my most favorite phone that I have owned and I know that you care about the camera a lot. I can promise that the Mi 8 has one hell of a great camera, and stock camera, is absolutely fantastic, especially with video. In fact, I prefer it for video over the latest Pixel 7.XXX Camera and yes it does Astrophotography.
As I mentioned before the A3, is much better than you would ever expect and you can find them for $150.
If budget is a primary concern: It is definitely worth looking at among the best new phones for the money. Plus the bootloader is easily unlocked with no waiting period. if you want a new phone for around $150. I honestly can't think of a better phone, and as I mentioned my daughter has this phone, so I have actually used it, and I am telling you, it's damn good.
Another option is buying a used 128GB Pixel refurbished $120
I have seen them for as low as $75, or you could buy a One Plus 3T
Edit: I just now found this phone and although it has a mediatek processor, its brand new , has Android 9.0 , 4gb ram, 64 gb hd space and it's just a little over $100 UMIDIGI Power This may be the one, if you can deal with processor but there's a lot of people who say that this phone is great, I dont know if you can use roms, but I have heard that it doesn't have bloatware, so it be a smart buy. Edit : The $118 price is a lightning deal, and the price will go backup to $139 by the time you read this. In that case, I would personally avoid it, but I am am a little biased against mediatek for reasons. Mostly heat and poor battery life.

Tony, you're among very few people I know who are invaluable to communities like these. I'm always impressed by how easily you go out of your way to help community members at XDA. Thank you so much for always being helpful even when you don't have to be. If I had the means I would buy you several cases of beer (or whatever non-alcoholic beverage you like) just to say how much I appreciate you. But for now I can just say THANK YOU!! From the bottom of my heart.
Out of all the options you gave me just now and a few days ago, the brand new Mi A3 is the best option by far. Refurbished is a no-go and yes, I hate Mediatek too. Been there, done that, but once you've got a taste of Qualcomm, there's simply no going back. I'm inclined to go for the A3 because of its AMOLED screen, UFS 2.1, decent camera, and, most importantly, it's price-performance ratio. It doesn't beat the A2 in performance but it more than makes up for it in the additional features.
I am going to keep the pro 3 as long as I can to see if prices drop even more (I'm all about the value). It's only my charging port that's gone so I'm taking out the battery and charging it externally for as long as I can. Everything else works normally. I'm also on my last ROM for this phone -- I can't flash another one because I changed to TWRP 3.2.1 which doesn't see my internal storage anymore (encryption).

Sorry I hadn't seen this post. The cheaper boards tagged as "copy" boards don't have working quick charge or ability to connect to pc for mtp file transfer. They're only good for slow charging and sometimes even that is hit or miss. The boards that cost between $25 and $30 are original leeco boards. Probably not brand new but original. They have all features of the original like quick charge, mtp, otg, cdla and everything else the new phone could do. I wouldn't even consider going close to the cheaper "copy" boards.
I had a single 50 cm baseus USB cable that i bought for around $4 and it was of very good quality. It even supported usb PD and it was built like a tank. Just holding it gives you confidence that it's gonna last a while. Even the board getting fried didn't damage the cable but I'm not using it again. The power pin on the usb cable changed from gold to just plain silver so it must have taken some damage. I would buy a new one to be safe.
I'm done repairing this phone for good. It's not worth the expense and there's too much uncertainty involved even after it's fixed. I could fix it and have it die barely a month later. That would be $50 down the drain. I'm not going through that again.

It seems this phone is on its last leg now. Since yesterday the proximity sensor doesn't work. I think it must be all this opening and closing up of the metal shield to remove the battery. Also, the earpiece speaker only works in loudspeaker mode now. It doesn't work in calls. I think I might have an audio related software issue because sound isn't playing even if I play a music or video file. I have flashed another ROM but this behavior remains. Could this require me to flash persist?
Edit: The earpiece and proximity sensor are acting up because of the damaged USB board. Both work well when I use an app that tests hardware features. They are failing to work for phone calls and video playback because the phone is detecting that I have earphones plugged in. I figured this out when I reflashed a new PIE ROM and saw the headphone icon is always displayed on the status bar even without anything connected to the port. I guess the board getting fried messed up with jack detection.
@tsongming Please tell me if this motherboard is le pro3 x722 or le pro3 x720.

Yesterday my device fell and the touch screen broke. The touch commands only work in the upper part of the screen and the display is becoming darker as time passes. How can I recover my data from the device? I've usb debug activated. By connecting the device to a pc I cant transfer files since I cant switch to the right mode. Moreover the device rebooted so I'd need to enter the password but I cant right know becauseof the broken touchscreen.
Try connecting a mouse via bluetooth or usb to navigate your phone. I succeded a while back in the same situation .

Depending how badly you want to recover your data: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-For-On...var=532360137925&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
My personal honest comment - OnePlus 3 is incredibly easy to repair yourself. I've disassembled many phones from different brands (Samsung, LG for example) and OnePlus 3 is literally the easiest phone I've ever dealt with. Go for it - buy that LCD with frame from ebay and swap components yourself (just make sure disassembly tools are included or buy separately). I've ordered this LCD with frame about a week ago since my GF's OP3 felt on concrete and got LCD damaged to the point that nothing is visible on the screen
Keep it in mind - always do backups of your important data. Automated synchronisation is what you should be looking for. For photos - Google photos. For contacts - Google account. etc.
Hallo,
the display of my POCO F3 is broken, meaning black screen. The device itself starts normally. How can I save my data? USB debugging is disabled and I can't activate it because the broken display of course.
Could anyone help me to save my data?
Thanks in advance!
Your data is safe. However you may need to wait awhile to access it.
Your best bet is to get your screen replaced.
Call around to local cell phone repair buisnesses and see if they any replacement screens in stock for the poco f3. If you have a xiaomi repair center near, even better. If no one had one in stock, your best to order one yourself. (this is where you may have to wait a bit as it may have to be shipped from china) if you're comfortable replacing your screen yourself, do that. But having the broken device in hand, with its replacement screen, and taking those into any cell phone repair store, they should be able to fix you up pretty quickly and shouldnt be too much money since you did the leg work of retrieving the screen.
That's the route I would go, or at least get the ball rolling in a new display coming in the mail. Because trying to retrieve that data without usb debugging on, may be a bit of a rabit hole.
Hi,
To save your data, did you try this (with a PC of course)
https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
Maybe you still have access to the phone despite the broken screen.
Let me know if it worked.
Not well read, "USB debugging is disabled", so it will not work....Sorry

Thanks for the suggestion, but honestly I don't think it's worth it. I have already received offers and they are from 190 € upwards. And I do not trust myself to exchange the display. In this case, wouldn't it make more sense to request a data backup from a company? I don't know how expensive that is though.
Isn't there any way to backup the date in recovery mode? I know that pressing the start and volume up button will get me into recovery mode. I've read somewhere that from there I can back up my data via the MI PC Suite, by pressing the down button twice. Is that correct? Regardless of that, I haven't yet managed to get into recovery mode with the broken display.
You can get a display and just connect it (don't remove the old display, just connect the new one).
It's silly that "ro.adb.secure" only means that it has to handshake and popup to allow ADB.
There really should be a mode where you say, "Only the 3 computers that I've already connected are acceptable and allow no further new ADB clients".
Then *everybody* could leave ADB on all the time.

Could you explain to me, how to do this or provide a link to a tutorial for example?
You'd just open the back of your device. The screen hooks in with an orange flex cable. You just disconnect the old one and plug in the new one out the back, just flopping around. You won't have touch, but you can hook up a USB mouse.
I don't know your model. I can't get more specific.
It's just that a new screen by itself out of China can't be too expensive?
And if you like, after you get your data you can try to actually replace the screen yourself.
I have got access to my daughters P30, with broken display, over MHL display. The difficulty is just to find the right place on the display to allow MHL display.

I have got access to my daughters P30, with broken display, over MHL display. The difficulty is just to find the right place on the display to allow MHL display.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But won't I need to enter my pin first to allow the MHL display?
If the touch is still working you may be able to enter your PIN.
Get a similar size device, go to the PIN screen, mark the position using clear wrap and a marker. Transfer the positions onto your screen.
Or use a scrap of plexiglas, mark it, then drill small holes and use that to mark your phone.
Or use an usb-keyboard.
