Hi Dear Friends, In this article techintor.com sharing a complete tutorial on ‘How to Hard Reset your Xiaomi Redmi 3S or Redmi 3S Prime’. I think all of you have already a Redmi 3S/ 3S Prime and you want to Hard Reset it [or you want to flash the device]. Why I am sharing this article is because recently me too tried to hard reset Xiaomi redmi 3s prime device and faced lots of difficulties. I didn’t found a correct tutorial article. However, finally, I successfully Hard reset my Redmi 3S prime [ i flashed the Redmi 3S Prime with it’s original global ROM]. So I decided to share a complete article on how to hard reset Redmi 3s/ 3s prime including my experiences.

how to hard reset redmi 3s:prime

I told on above paragraph that i flashed my Redmi 3S Prime to original stock ROM[ hard reset]. Actually, it’s not mine, and it’s my friend’s device, and he forgets the password. He disabled the Finger Print Lock earlier, and he is unable to use the device after forgetting the pattern lock. so he wants to unlock the pattern lock of his Redmi 3S prime[ he want to break the lock]. He met me and told the things. I planned to hard reset the phone from phone bootloader[ by holding both power button+ volume up button]. But I can’t. The Redmi 3S prime device bootloader also got locked [bootloader is disabled]. So it is not possible to hard reset the device by this method. We need to flash the device. Yeah/, I googled ‘how to hard reset the Xiaomi Redmi 3S prime ‘ unfortunately I didn’t found any valid articles on google results. But there I got a youtube video which was posted by a guy named TECHY TECH. It is very useful, but the video misses some important things. Anyway, the video is very simple and helped me a lot. I followed the video and referred some other Xiaomi forums and finally solved all issues faced while hard resetting Redmi 3S prime.

FAQ: Xiaomi Redmi 3S/Prime hard Reset [ flash Redmi 3s/Prime]

1.After clicking the ‘Download’ button, the device restarts normally. What will I do now?

ANS: Me too faced the same issue. After clicking the download option [step no.5] my device restarted normally. The device is not going to EDL mode. And it is compulsory to boot to EDL mode to continue further steps. So how to get my device into EDL mode?

There are some methods to put your device into EDL mode. The method I followed is like this:
First take one another Micro USB cable [don’t use your original Xiaomi Micro USB cable]. Then cut off it’s plastic cover, and you can see some coloured wires there. Pick the green and black wires.Now take a needle and pierce through the green and black wires. So there will be a contact between green and black wires. Make sure that there is a connection[contact] between the two wires.
redmi 3s boot to edl mode
Now switch off your device and connect the new altered Micro USB cable to PC and plug the other end [end which connects to the phone] to your phone. Now wait for 15 seconds[you won’t see anything]. After counting 15, pull away the micro USB cable from the device. Congrats, Now your phone is booted into ‘download’ mode.
Now take the original Xiaomi micro USB cable and connect to the PC and device. After that continue from the steps from step no.6.
This is worked fine for me. If you have any doubts in this steps, you can check this video which explaining this method[ booting device to EDL mode with altered micro USB cable]. If this method didn’t work for you then you can also check some other methods to boot your device into EDL mode.

2. I am getting an error “cannot receive hello packet” on Xiaomi Mi flash tool. What should I do now?

ANS: just uninstall and again install the mi flash tool app then after selecting the ROM’s folder select the ‘flash_all_except_data_storage’ option. You are getting above ‘hello packet error’ because you are not selecting this. So it is compulsory. Check the screenshot provided to verify. After selecting the option do flash.
