hadware issue ! - Xiaomi Mi A1 Accessories

MI A1 comes with dual tone flash but in mine, red flash doesn't work. In starting red flash was flickering and now it has completely stopped working. I went to service centre for replacement and they opened my phone's back case and found part of red flash was broken. So, for them, it became hardware damage and warranty voided. Dumb luck :crying: :crying: Now can anyone tell if I can find red flash spare part so that I can replace it. (cause they asked me to pay rs 8000 for replacing the :crying:whole motherboard S*****).

Are u idiot?

Bruv, no accessory can fix this. You need to get the hardware fixed. I don't think you can attach flashlight to your phone.

Unless you're an expert in SMD soldering, I'd suggest you either kiss goodbye to the red LED flash or start gathering ₹8000.

Ok, I can manage SMD soldering, but where can I find replacement of red flash??

You can try AliExpress. But you'll have to know the exact package of the led. Then there's loooong waiting time for it to arrive. Good luck and do report back if you manage to successfully repair it..
On a side note, you might want to check using a power supply whether the led itself is at fault or is the motherboard faulty.

I suggest just send back to where you bought or service center, they might replace another one for you.

[Q] [HARDBRICK] LG G Pad 8.3 V500 after Swapper 2

Hi, I have flashed my GPad with vanir commotio rom, and after I run swapper 2, my tablet won't boot again. Cannot go to recovery and download mode. I have used USB JIG with no success, and when I connect to my computer, tablet shown "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 (COM3)" on device manager. Can anybody help? Thanks

If it's appear like that in the pc, looks like your internal memory has been wiped (or partitioned), happened to me before, i sent it to lg customer care and they had to replace the hole motherboard... sorry to hear...
When u use the swapper, choose mdblock1 instead of mdblock0, cuz. it is the internal memory and 1 is the external one!
Or use another swap app that have a advanced settings!
The problem is LG G Pad is not available for my country (Indonesia). I bought it from Hongkong. When I contact Indonesia's LG service center they seems cannot service my tablet. So shame.

Not sure, but if u have qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 (COM3), then, it is a motherboard fail, means that not hole motherboard is effected (MAYBE if the hole motherboard effected, u will not get any sign, even in pc), but it maybe the internal memory fail, but otherwise u cant replace only the Internal Memory alone, u have to get the hole motherboard, so u can bring it back to life...
Thanks for your answer.
Now, just waiting a month for the motherboard to arrive. So expensive [emoji31]

I feel for the OP, as I too, have hard bricked my tablet when I tried creating a swap partition via swapper. In my case, all black screen, no response when I try to power on the device, no nothing....
The only sign of life, is that when I connect the tablet to the computer via USB,i hear 2 faint beeps but then nothing....
Does anyone have any recommendations, apart from replacing the motherboard? I find it a bit too expensive, as its almost 2/3rds the price of a brand new tablet.
Does anyone know if JTAG will work on the LG G Pad 8.3? Also if anyone can recommend someone who can fix it, for a fee ofcourse , please feel free to PM me. Thanks

Nope. I mean jtag, a device that is soldered onto the chip and hardcode data directly into it. You can use it to restore a hard brick. i think i saw from somewhere that the jig wont work. But i think Jtag will stand a chance.

is it easy to get your hands on?
After I change the logicboard, everything works fine again to stock 4.4.2. The only downside is now my G Pad screen doesn't stick with the back part of the G Pad because of the teardown.

You can however reach the ports? headphone and USB?
headphone and usb are fine. It's just the bottom corners of the screen now slightly lifted up because cannot stick with the back.

Please help!!! My G4 H815 hard bricked without any custom software or rooting

The decive is only recognized as qhsusb_bulk. And I never messed around with any custom roms or rooting. The power went off suddenly and couldn't turn it back on. Please help!!!!
If you were not doing any sort of modification, it sounds like a hardware failure. Get a warranty replacement if you can.

Nope the battery didn't run out. It was about 80% left. And above of all, I was in the meeting at that morning and i put down the phone in silent. After that, i couldn't be able to double tap anymore then I tried power button at the back. I even try plugging the charger in and pressed the power button. Tried to factory reset it. And tried using different adapter and cable. The led light didn't even turn on. But when i plugged in to my laptop, i hear the noti sound and it shows qshusb_bulk in the device manager. I think it's on qualcomm mode. I saw some posts about unbricking g3 which is on qualcomm mode but no luck for G4.

It must be hardware failure but I don't have warranty. See the thing is I'm in Myanmar. The authorized distributor only sells dual sims model. But i never planned to use dual sims ones. So i tried to get the single sim version from singapore and the warranty from that country doesn't really seem to be able help.

That error means the bootloader is corrupted. No way to fix it currently without the right software and LG proprietary firmware. Not available anywhere I looked for the G4 (for the lay person at least). Since you weren't tinkering with it, could also mean the memory is bad.
Call LG.
Ask on lgviet.com there are guys that can repair a dead boot. One even wrote here I dunno if it was Manhit or else. They are in Vietnam, not too distant for you maybe
Edit it's @vn_mobile
I had one do the same thing. Warrantied it.

Contact the seller and ask if they can help. it would mean you send it to them, they sent it over to the service center and when its fixed return it back to you. you will be spending for postage. there is a warranty but its in singapore.
unless you can figure out a way to repair it locally.

Agree, quite rare, but it does happen. On my original Galaxy Nexus, the CPU just crapped out and died one day. That was the repair facility's assessment.
Flash memory specifically, not so much.

I have this same problem a few months, according to a person specialized in htc, all the devices of the one line are having serious problems of hardwere, where a part responsible for the signal power fails by oxidation of the solder causing the problem, becomes unviable The repair due to the risk of resolda of the plate cause a general failure in the device, the chances are 50% of success. The low chance of success is related to the type of solder used, being able to use the resolda to damage the plate of low thermal resistance. Sorry for the bad english of google.

Nexus 5X unable to power on (red notification light)

Hi, my nexus 5x is unable to be powered on, with a red notification light flashing when i hold power button more than 10s.
Tried combinations of all buttons for more than 10 seconds each, to no avail.
Charged for more than 4 hours, swapped chargers, swapped cables, to no avail.
I am unable to boot, therefore unable to go into recovery or bootloader to flash anything at all.
please advice!
Have you tried turning it on while connected to the charger after an hour or so?
You may need to return it, is it still under warranty?
What did you do?
Did you root? Custom roms? Battery dead? Flashed wrong image?
Just got mine back from LG for this same BS after only 2months new. They wiped everything and said it was faulty screen cable/ribbon. Came back with no screen protector so I guess the replaced the screen as well. Warranty it. There's nothing you can do. I tried every fix, combo, cables.

yeah i know , it's very vexing me to . i have nexus 5 it's been 1 year without any problem .
Where I live there's no support for the 5x yet. So I send it with a friend to USA and contacted LG to send it as RMA. They say they fixed it.. replacing some board.. I don't know, I still didn't get it back. hahaha.
LG is your friend =)

Semi-Dead Phone

Yesterday, my groupmates and I were presenting this VR application to our panelists. Somehow in the middle of the demo, my phone rebooted and it took a while before it actually opened. After it opened though, a few seconds or about a minute later it will reboot again and this happened a few times so I decided to turn it off. Later, when I decided to turn it on again it won't let me past the LG logo and it just keeps on bootlooping so I decided to turn it off by removing the battery and let it stay off for a while. Again when I decided to check on it, the phone won't even turn on even after holding the power button for a few seconds and trying to remove battery and place it back. I decided to check on it later again and it would boot but only until the LG logo again and this time it stays there for a few seconds and then it goes black and this just keeps on happening every time I try opening it. I even tried to do a hard reset (reset to factory settings) but only the same thing happens, the phone freezes at the "Yes" option when doing the factory reset and it goes to black after a few seconds. I even tried flashing a firmware but it won't let me do it because the same thing happens (reboots into LG logo, freezes and then turns black).
What could have happened? Is there anyway to fix this? :/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: My phone (H815) is running MM, not rooted,

Unfortunately you are also in bootloop effected G4 club now. If it is in warranty, claim it as its board will be replaced, it is hardware failure. What is Serial Number of your G4?

Damn :/ I bought mine from an online store not directly related to LG but they have a 1 year service warranty though so I'll try that.
How do I know the serial number?

Your S/N is on the phone behind the battery. They will also need your IMEI number.
So you, just like hundreds here, and I am pretty sure it's thousands globally have got bootloop issue so there is no need to create new thread as that is not going to fix your issue as you are in the same boat just like all of us with probably your serial number starting with 505xxx.

Oh well, unlucky... I don't remember seeing any 511 developing bootloop which might be concern for others since I believe that from November 2015 they fixed the bootloop issue with hardware revision 1.1. You can add it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/longest-running-bootloop-g4-t3386329 so that others are aware that 511 can also develop bootloop

I'm sure you'll find all the answers going through threads on LG G4 bootloop issue. Seems like the pins on the qualcomm chip get somehow loose or unstuck from the motherboard overtime (usually the 2 big cores) that why the phone is unable to boot when that happens. That's why disabling the big cores helps to boot the phone using only 4 small cores.

Can it be fixed without sending it to LG? Maybe send it to some guy that can repair a phone?

Problem is I bought the phone from an online retailer and all they have is labor warranty. I've also tried e-mailing LG here in the Philippines but I haven't received a reply yet and it's been almost a week.
Can removing the 2 big cores (hardware, is it even possible?) by a guy who can repair it, fix the phone?

U cant claim warranty from lg unless u buy from them directly ...u best bet is to contact the online store n tell them to contact LG otherwise ur screwed lg will never accept warranty n fixing it via technician cost 200US$ cuz they need to replace a motherboard from fixed working g4....isnt lg phones a pain in the *** next time dont buy lg phones...

That is not correct. 12 month warranty is provided by LG for the device so he can go ahead and get in touch with LG. As long as he's got proof of purchase that's all they ask.
