How to recover a bricked Lenovo VIBE K5 Plus A6020a46?

Hi guys,
I request your urgent help. Yesterday I tried to install a Marshmallow custom ROM (pac_A6020_MM.Alpha.1.Official_20160704-204606) in my Lenovo VIBE K5 Plus A6020a46. Now it seems bricked. I can boot into fastboot mode but not into the recovery mode. When I turn on, it it is just stuck on Lenovo Logo screen. I cannot flash with QFIL as the port is not detected on my Windows 10 Laptop. What should I do? Please help.

Download stock ROM and twrp recovery and flash twrp recovery in fastboot mode. Then flash stock ROM using twrp recovery. That's it.

Thank you for your reply. But now device is not shown in adb command line "adb device". So I cant continue. Neither QFIL recognize the device port.

I've faced the same problem that you have said mobile didn't detect by the PC, that's USB driver problem, make sure you installed USB drivers for your device, if not then install USB drivers for your device, then only PC can detect your device. Then flash the twrp and flash the stock ROM via twrp.

try using QLIP and press the volume + button

Thank you all dear friends for your timely help. But in my case none of the methods above worked completely. I couldn't flash my Vibe K5 Plus with QFIL because it never detected the port. When I tried restarting the phone holding Volume + key, port just showed up and when I clicked on download button in QFIL, the phone restarted, the port disappeared and nothing happened. So, that method also failed.
Now I just showed the problem at Lenovo Service center. They made it, but installed a very old version (A6020a46_S024) of OS from which I could not update to the latest one (A6020a46_S048_160701_ROW). It showed some ota error after downloading almost 156MB. Luckily I could find the latest ROM (A6020a46_S048_160701_ROW) from the Russian Lenovo Forum. It helped me to update my Lenovo Vibebe K5 Plus_A6020a46 to the latest version. Once again thank you all. :good:

Please write the method how to updated it if you used QFIL. I think a lot of users can get help from your experience!
For drivers, install QDLoader HS-USB Driver drivers (google them)
and if you still can not detect any HS USB port in device manager but see an ADB Interface port. upgrade drivers of ADB port with QDLoader HS-USB Driver you downloaded earlier
This will detect your phone,
Good Luck!

QFIL was not useful for me. When I started the phone holding Volume+ button it detected the port and when clicked on the download button in QFIL the phone restarted after 3-5 seconds with blank screen, after a few seconds showed an error message "Download Fail, Port not Available". Then I had remove the battery to start my phone in the mormal mode. As I have said above, I had to approach Lenovo Service center to recover my Lenovo VIBE K5 Plus_A6020a46. They recovered it and installed the oldest OS version for it. It had many problems with that version, such as draining battery very soon and heating issues etc. I could not update it with Lenovo companion app. It downloaded the 156MB update, but during installation it showed a weird OTA error. I tried it for 5 times, but the result was always the same.
So I searched for the latest update ROM in the internet (A6020a46_S048_16070 1_ROW) I got it from an Russian Lenovo Community website. I extrated the zip file (A6020a46_S048_16070 1_ROW_QPST.zip). There were many ota update files and a "system" update file. I copied that "system.zip" file to the phones SD card and updated from there using recovery mode. It was successful.

With the phone turned off and disconected from your computer, you press and hold the following buttons: volume + and - and power, for five seconds, then your phone should be black and with a red led. Now you connect to your computer and check if QFIL recognizes the port (this is the hardest part, to install and make QFIL work on windows), then it's just like the guide

I'm glad to help man

Is there any possibility to recover a dead phone? It is the same model (Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus A6020a46). It shows only red led when connected to a power source. Can't turn the power on, none of the key combinations works, no boot screen, no images nothing. It is totally dead except for the red LED.

I don't know man, but I would try to download the QFIL image for the a6020l46 and give it a try, but, before you try it, let it charge for about 3 hours, then take off the battery and pot it on again and try to enter the mode for QFIL (volume + and - and power button pressed and hold for 5 seconds).

Same problem here
I have a bricked lenovo vibe k 5 (A6020I37) in qfil says sahara fail, and the pc recognizes my phone as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. From here I dont know what to do, I already tried with lenovo smart assistance but stops at 3%.
I hope you can help me to, and thank you all for your the help u can bring me.

Pleaseee anyone can help meeeee?????

Bricked Lenovo Vibe shot z90-7, no edl, fastboot twrp and locked bootloader.

I got a lenovo vibe shot z90-7 which was using Android 5.1. I found an upgrade rom on needrom to 6.0. I flashed it using qfil (qualcomm flashing tool) and it went all right, all functional. But I also wanted to unlock the bootloader and install a twrp (I found a procedure and twrp image on a russian forum). I followed the steps but it didn't work, I still wasn't able to unlock the bootloader. Thus, I was not able to enter fastboot anymore: from adb I was typing "adb reboot bootloader" and the device would reboot normally, not in fastboot mode. I decided to change to another rom (from needrom) which was claiming would allow you to unlock the bootloader. So, without hesitation I flashed it in qfil (edl mode) and it went all right, but I got stuck in boot loop. After the splash screen, the device shuts the screen off and does a long vibration and stays like that. If I connect it via usb to my pc I get a some "need to format drive" alerts, and in qfil I see "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostic 9006 (COM5)". If then I try to flash the rom I get this log:
Code:

COM Port number:5

Download Fail:Switch To EDL FailSystem.Exception: FireHose Fail
at QC.SwDownloadDLL.SwDownload.SwitchToEDL()
at QFIL.Tech.DownloadTech.SwitchToEDL()
Finish Download
It's seems like I need to get in Edl mode first, but I cannot use adb and pushing vol+ and plug the usb at the same time (or a little bit first one or the other, I tried all) does't do anything but booting the device normally.
I also tried getting in fastboot mode (keep vol- and power button) but it doesn't work.
I read of an "engineering mode" by keeping vol- on boot. It does something, the screen becomes black, but it's on. On my pc the adb driver comes in in the popup, like if I'm in fastboot or adb, but on "fastboot devices" I can't see anything, while on "adb devices" I see a device, which is "? unauthorized". Strange to me, I can't do much with it since it's unauthorized and the screen on the device remains black. And after a few seconds (about 30) it gets back to long vibration and screen off state.
I can get into the stock recovery by holding vol+, vol- and power, but it's a very poor recovery. All I can do is reboot, shut down, wipe data and update. I tried to use "update" and put a zip file of an official rom downloaded into the sd card and named "update.zip" as suggested by the recovery, but I get an error (with no technical information about what kind of error), so no luck with that either.
I tried to force the qualcomm driver from "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostic 9006 (COM5)" to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)", then tried to flash using qfil, but I still get an error, even if this time is different:

I finally tried to download the rom in .qsb format and get in engineering mode again, but the screen remains black and no sign of flashing possibilities.
Please help, I tried everything it came to my mind.
I also tried with miflash, but still got errors...
Thank you

Hello, did you solve the problem? i have the same as you....
regards

Hi guys.
I had the similar problem few moths ago. I tried to remember what i've done to fix it, but I don't remember all things, I hope this steps helps to find the solution.
Check this:
-Use Windows 7 (I tried with Windows 10 and always appears some errors)
-Use original miniUSB cable or good quality cables
-Install Lenovo Usb drivers
Turn ON phone and press Vol+ and Vol-, hold 3 seconds
If you cant enter Recovery mode (because is corrupt or bricked), phone will vibrate for 1-2 seconds and screen keep black. Now connect USB cable (check drivers, also if Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 was installed)
Once you done, use QSFL or MiFlash (but not 2016 version!, never works to flash)
NOTE: I had some problems with my desktop computer with Windows 7 but no problem in laptop. So check it in more than one...
Good luck.

How I fixed this
I fixed it installing a update.zip via recovery (vol + plus vol - plus power) I found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/vibe-shot-6-0-update-root-xposed-t3409989
This not fixed the phone , but allowed me to unlock bootloader entering in fastboot mode (vol + plus vol - plus plug usb) using this
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/18149-lenovo-vibe-shot-разблокировка-bootloader/
Then I was allowed to install TWRP as explained here
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/18150-lenovo-vibe-shot-расширенное-рекавери-twrp-by-sevenmaxs/
Then I was able to go to TWRP terminal and type
reboot edl
Phone went into downloader mode and I was able to install this rom with QFIL
http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-vibe-shot-android-6-0-1-1625-encn-unlocked/
and I restored NVRAM with a qcn file I found in Ebay after putting the phone in diagnostics mode. Then I changed imeid, meid and esn to the original ones I found in the box. Phone fixed.
Just note that this file was for a Z90-7 rom and it will not work with a Z40a20 rom.
Hope this helps someone.

Hi, did you slove the problem? Same situation with me. But I managed to install twrp ( Chinese) but I can't install any rom .. After successful flashing it reboot with lenovo logo, then long vibrates.. When I connect it to PC. It show number of partition and need to format popup.. I tried different ROMs.. All via twrp. I don't use miflash or qfil.. If you have solved it please share how. Thanks.

i know how to enter in edl mode in z90-7 or z90a40
Hello
This is nisar I successfully entered in edl mode and flashed rom to know the procedure pm me on +919743392420 WhatsApp

Bricked Vibe Shot - multiple partitions in device manager - no edl
having read all the above I'd like to share small info once again, it is all about correct qualcomm drivers, you can get them from androidurdu.net, do not search on the site but click on mobile drivers then scroll down and download qualcomm usb drivers.zip . unpack and use "checked" folder within the zip, they are signed and work on any windows including 10th. You see, your brick might be having an edl times, but PC doesn't know without proper drivers installed. You might want to remove all earlier/bad driver versions, for example try sigverif command or just install below qualcomm drivers and try away.
1. connect phone with good usb cable, 2. press power button till it shuts, then release power button and press volume up and down same time and phone will enter edl mode itself almost instantly, if you had twrp installed then it'll enter there, if so run from terminal "reboot edl"; keep device manager open and comm tree will appear along.
other way is via adb reboot edl command, if fastboot doesn't work, or fastboot reboot-edl
on miflash when refreshed you see the short port name and the number like com4 or 3. now it's time to flash, but the last proven flash I did with QiFL, Miflash works as fine.
i used latest international marshmallow version. after first boot, within dev mode unlocked oem + enabled adb and connected to PC with phone turned on in order to accept handshake prompt.
unlocking bootloader is easy via adb command: adb reboot bootloader, then: adb bootloader unlock-go .
all files are available online via some russian speaking forum, you just need to install twrp, then place su.zip onto phone (I copied on internal memory), boot into twrp and flash; if clean - no errors flash then you got neatly rooted marshmallow phone.
my struggle with bricked vibe shot was worth it. earlier I noticed cpu was running high, all cores all the time. also many google apps which I wanted to eliminate for draining the battery and uploading stuff all the time.
right after flashing su.zip boot into phone and install kernel adiutor from play store, then take control of how your 8 cores behave. I discovered the minimums were set at 800+Mhz so I dropped them to 200, then below within cpu section enabled all "disabled" options for boost + enabled "ondemand" + plus few more. You got to understand the process and enjoy tuning your phone your way.
I've charged my vibe shot 3 hours ago and was randomly chatting on whatsap until now and I have 73% battery. Day before yesterday before the bricking, full charge would not last more than 3 hours, incredible battery performance thanks to "adiutor" .
One more important thing, use correct rom version for your phone because of advanced camera and specific drivers camera won't work well.
Names of files used to make my phone a super hero:
1. adb-setup-1.4.2.exe
2. Miflash_140509.exe
3. Qualcomm_USB_Drivers.7z via androidurdu.net
4. TWRP-3.0.2.0_Z90a40_by_SevenMaxs.rar - has .bat files inside; enter bootloader mode and shoot
5. UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-SYSTEMMODE-PRO.zip (I pay for my apps including supersu pro)
6. Z90a40_Android-L_unlock_7M.7z , or use command line via adb shell.
7. Z90a40_S363_160625_ROW_QPST.7z - latest intl Mashmallow Os , to make it more perfect download marshmallow google dialer - patched.apk.
8. QPST / QIFL , used to flash the above rom
I'm not a pro so small mistakes are acceptable, I hope.
ciao.

http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-vibe-shot-android-6-0-1-1625-encn-unlocked/
and I restored NVRAM with a qcn file I found in Ebay after putting the phone in diagnostics mode. Then I changed imeid, meid and esn to the original ones I found in the box. Phone fixed.
Just note that this file was for a Z90-7 rom and it will not work with a Z40a20 rom.
Hope this helps someone.

Sorry if it's reviving the thread but i found a way to unbrick the device from this state. Not sure if will work for all models because this one was a really weird one (almost all button combinations were different than any described on the internet). So my phone was from China (Z90-7 - later it showed that it's a Z90A40 and I had to flash that firmware) with a international chinese ROM and it god badly bricked (no edl, no lenovo recovery, locked bootloader etc. etc.). Now, when holding [vol+]+[vol-]+[pwr] (usually recovery mode according to the internet) it went into the Qualcomm 9006 diagnostics mode that shows a million partitions. There was no way i could get it into edl mode but there was the so called factory mode that is accessed by holding [vol-] and plugging in the usb before it vibrates. Through this I managed to flash firmware in .qsb format from a SD card and successfully unbricked the phone that I almost threw into the bin.
1. Check if your phone has "factory mode" [vol-]+[pwr] then release [pwr] or hold [vol-] while inserting usb cable.
- make sure to try different combinations, the button combinations on my phone were much different than what I mostly found on the internet

2. Download Vibe Shot firmware in .qsb format (Google it, the phone will warn you if it's not the right one (A40 or -7))
3. Copy the .qsb file into SD:/sdfuse
4. Insert the SD card into the phone (maybe a restart will be needed for it to be detected, you should see a message saying "DEV: External storage" when you select sd flash)
5. Select "SD update" and follow the instructions.
I hope this helps someone who can access the factory mode. This is so easy and I couldn't believe that there is so little information on flashing it this way.
Good luck.

i wonder how do you change HS-USB Qualcomm 9006 become HS-USB Qualcomm 9008?

Cant Unrbick Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90A40

Hi
I have tried a lot to unbrick my Lenovo Vibe Shot. Now I am helpless and looking for some workable solution:
I used Lenovo Smart Assistant to download a proper firmware so it turned out it is:
z90a40_USR_S363_1606250500_Q202533.1_ROW.zip
I tried to use Lenovo Smart drive assistant to update ROM or Device Rescue, but both wont detect phone
The phone default Lenovo recovery can be loaded by pressing VOL+, VOL- and power button, and then releasing power button
when logo appears. I used an Update.zip in 8GB mem card and used the option: ‘install update package’ then it complete the process 100% I was happy that I was going to get my phone unbrick

but when it asked for reboot and I rebooted it, it vibrated
2 times, first it vibrated, and showed logo of Lenovo for 1 second then it vibrated long like 2/3 seconds and turned off. I repeated many times these steps but still it behaves same.
Another thing is after brick, it showed this in My Computer:
And with each new drive letter it shows following. I tried to format but it then says Write protected error.
Then tried 3 or 4 methods from following
https://boycracked.com/2016/02/07/stock-rom-frimware-lenovo-vibe-shot-z90/
I was just simply not able to use Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008
as on all my PCs it is detecting as some Diagnostic 9006 version instead of above.
Tried on different PCs and ROMs/Firmwares titling Lenovo Vibe Shot, Either the following error or Delete drive layout comes.
Then I followed next method for QFIL but still it cannot download it.
Please help me how can get things right, I have tried on 3 PCs (2 of them were 32 bit windows, and a Win 10 laptop)
Still no luck

I have the same problem. tried everything, QFIL MiFlash Recovery. no luck. Partition tool does not delete the partition. tried deleting all of them and creating a new 1. nothing happened. the pc no longer detected the multiple write protected drives but the partition tool still does and when I plugged it in a different PC, the multiple write protected drives appeared again. Hope we find a solution for this. I haven't been sleeping that much for the past week because of this.

I figured it out from my semi-sleepless nights. But b4 the solution that worked for me, I had to
learn a lot out of my desperation to finally get it worked on the day I decided to hand over to
some technical guy from local market
The full comment form Francisco Kadzi helped me finally do it from following youtube link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmMg00Wqabc&t=1s
Besides I had to take care of many things. First here are the things I was doing wrong:
- Not taking care of a heavily charged phone, I would try to unbrick after just 1 hour
or less charging from a total uncharged device.
- I was going to a backward step whenever I failed on something (Reboot in
fastboot mode, trying with QFIL etc.). Whereas many different forums (mainly XDA),
people were saying to try again and again.
- I was using improper ROMS or flash files my device was: Z90a40_USR_S363_1606250500_Q202533.1_ROW
- When I would see 9006 mode again I would be disappointed and would try different solution.
The correct thing to try was uninstall this driver and then connect the device again with
PC in fastboot mode .
Then I used Lenovo Smart Assistant and got this proper file:
Z90a40_USR_S363_1606250500_Q202533.1_ROW
OK read my first post to know what problems I faced, but at the end the multiple
partitions were not really the problem. The actual problem was getting 9008 mode
in Device Manager of my Windows 7. I always got it as Diagnostics 9006 mode. One
I started getting 9008, things went in my way gradually. So the person posting on
above comment from youtube link helped me
Am a happy fellow at the moment and will help anyone with same problem if needed

I had problem like you, and i couldnt solve it so i sent it to repair shop and waiting now to hear from them.
I managed to get 9008 port, tryed to downgrade, upgrade, flash would complete, i tried literaly all row and china rom, no way to boot up sucessfully.
I even flashed twrp and tryed cm rom and mokee, i could boot after lenovo sign.
But i have same situation like you, many partitions and thats all. I think problem is read only partitions...
Can you tell me what drivers did you use?

I was able to fix exactly same problem this morning an hour before important meeting. All contacts and location puns were on gdrive and hadn't slept full night. You need to download correct qualcom drivers. Enter in Google: android qualcom urdu checked. Inside the zip unpack "checked" folder, right click and select install all infs. Run adb reboot bootloader while phone attempts to boot, when command succeeds run adb reboot edl, or fastboot reboot-edl whichever works. Keep miflash open and refresh. Then you see a short Comm port name. Now shoot flash with any rom that you have. If you do Chinese version then SNAPit lags badly, install correct version.
To sum up, focus on implementing correct qualcom drivers. In windows 10 run command testsign off and reboot in advance.

Actually I bricked my phone a whole lot of times even after my post thats because once I knew that it is just soft bricked and I can get it back somehow, I got the confidence and tried advanced things that bricked my phone again and again
And it was only the recent time (around 3 weeks ago), that I figured the 100% working 9008 method for my phone
actually u have to drain the battery completely out then it will get 9008 mode to do it u shall try turning your phone on again and again so that battery goes off
For example: Press Power button for a few seconds to turn it on.
Or press 3 buttons at same time (VOL+, VOL- and Power), then release only Power button when you get vibration. Then after 2 seconds release both VOL buttons as well (this is for going to recovery mode)
This way you can drain all battery of phone, and you will know when the battery is all gone when you will press the Power button and phone will not show any LED light or screen light, it will just vibrate and will be off
Now you connect ur phone to PC in following way:
If at bricking you you were on Lollipop (Android 5): Pressing VOL+ key and plug the USB cable in WITHOUT PRESSING POWER BUTTON ! 9008 will open use Qfil to flash the ROM u want
OR If at bricking you were on Marshmallow (Android 6): Plug the USB cable in phone, then connect cable to PC and exactly at the same time press power button (some times u dont need to press power button so try with both options). Then if you see 9008 mode in Qfil, then immediately press the Download button in Qfil
If you see Qfil error then repeat the above process to get 9008 mode and use miflash instead of Qfil miflash worked for me better than Qfil from such situation as Qfil often gives error in between
And when you get the flashing 100% then phone will either auto restart or you have to restart it manually Using Qfil it shows u message when it is restarting the phone, and I think using miflash it just says process 100% complete then u have to restart phone yourself
Remember at this point (after restart) connect your phone charger properly in a electricity power socket instead of PC as the battery was already drained so you need to charge the device while it shows the long booting process due to new ROM flashed.
Good luck,

I had the same problem from two days my phone is bricked and when i connect it to my pc too many partitions appears and when flashing by miflash it says (incorrect function) and i tried too many methods without any good result
But I finally unbricked my vibe shot successfully
At first i downloaded Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver definition, i searched for it by google until i get a zip file with the driver definition. i installed it manually from device manager on computer when my phone was connected to pc.
After that i downloaded an official z90a40_s240 for flashing via Qfil.
Steps:
1- disconnect your phone
2- go to recovery mode by ( holding power button with volume+ and volume- at the same time) until booting to recovery mode.
3-In recovery mode chose English then power off
4- open Qfil and get it ready to flash the official firmware
5-connect the USB to your pc then keep holding volume up and connect your phone to USB.
6- your phone screen should be turned off, also the LED light and you should see 9008 mode
7- click to download button and the flashing will start.
And congratulations your phone unbricked successfully ?

I have facing same problem on my phone. Could you help to show me hơ to unbricked it . Thanks you so much.

Any way to unbrick without modifying the wire?

i am sorry but i have searched a lot but i couldn't unbrick my ZUK Z2, i flashed the Deodexed stock ROM and then the screen went all black with the LED glowing. If i press the power button i just see the ZUK logo and the screen goes black, i tried to boot it into fastboot but no luck. I somehow managed to get into the 9008 mode but while flashing with QFIL i get the sahara error saying unable to read header or something and with MiFlash i am getting "cannot read hello packet"
Any Help will be appreciated
EDIT:
The device has been fixed, i had to press the download button on the QFIL as soon as my phone boots into EDL mode.

did you flash through twrp? and if your bootloader if unlocked then you should have 5 sec bootloader placeholder from where u can reboot recovery . and if you are stuck into something different then it will be difficult to recover but possible. for sahara fail , play with settings in qfil like emmc, reset ,etc and try.And you can remove the port from device manager and retry if u r getting 9008 port.You should not get sahara fail. You will be get out of this easily just try things suggested. Your device is live as zuk logo is showing so dont worry.
And use latest qfil: http://www.androidbrick.com/download/download-latest-qualcomm-flasher-qfil-qpst-2-7-460/#
EDIT: Try this too-
Bootloader mode: shutdown state, press and hold the volume plus key + volume minus key, while the usb line connected to the computer until the release button.
Qualcomm QPST (9008 port) : shutdown state, press and hold the volume plus key, press the power button at the same time usb cable to connect the computer. This mode is a black screen state.
For recovery: press and hold the power key + the volume plus key + the volume down key until you release the release button.

Just buy DFC cable a.k.a Deep Flash Cable. The cable is same as you wire cable manualy

Onces that you are in 9008 mode you need to use ADB
"Adb reboot edl"
You are a lucky guy, i needed to conect grenn and black cable of the smartphone to put in 9008 mode

Have you both any idea about adb! Edl is itself 9008 mode also called download mode. Adb is debug bridge and it is used in OS to control it by this bridge from PC.

I think the bootloader is locked again, i can't boot into recovery. I tried the latest QPST and still getting unable to read packet header read 0 bytes error and Sahara Failed.

If bootloader is locked or unlocked , 9008 mode will work for sure. Also Use buttons combination to enter fastboot if u can then unlock and flash recovery from there .

To avoid this problem again, when you flash stock roms after using Custom Roms, make sure you format the System, data and cache partitions back to EXT4 format, since Stock firmware (even the moded ones) DOES NOT support any other System/Data/ Cache format.
After loading the bootloader, the phone will end with black screen and white led on. You just need to reboot on recovery again and advance format System/ Data/ Cache back to EXT4, connect the phone to the PC again, transfer the ROM file to the internal storage and make the Flash again...
Hope this help you

UnBrick Leeco Phones - LeEco variants X720/X727 ​Instructions for X722, X720 and X727​
First, yes there is another thread called Unbrick your Le Pro3, tested and working
Consider this thread to be a version 2.0, a companion to that existing thread, with alternative steps and better overall clarity.
The person who created that original thread is no longer active within the Leeco Pro 3 community and the original file links are mostly dead anyway. In addition, the original Qfil file on that thread OP was corrupted and lead to a lot of frustration via countless sahara errors and other issues.
I have tried to support the many people with bricked phones, and over a long period of time, and I made many of those posts on that original thread. It's way too hard to keep things updated on that thread when I can't even find my own original posts.
There is no question that this thread will help me keep relevant information for saving bricks organized, and will better serve people with bricked devices. and maybe help resolve the clutter issue caused by the weekly " Help I bricked my phone" threads that are created almost weekly.
TLDR: The original tested and working has good information, some really nice images to view along with the instructions. But its outdated, has bad links, and a corrupted Qfil. This is too confusing so here is the updated unbrick thread that this community needs.
Note
Before attempting any of these steps : first try just leaving the phone plugged in for a few hours and wait and see if it comes back to life. It is possible that the cable is bad, your battery stats are off, and the battery is simply on 0% Especially if you have a faint blue light, instead of a red light.
X722 Qfil
This thread was inspired by the new X722 Qfil by @F.L.V For the X722 Elite Owners : these instructions will be helpful for the returning X722 users ready to unbrick their devices with the new F.L.V Qfil
Note If you are new here: the X720/X727 models use a different Qfil than the X722
Modes
* Fastboot: * Press and hold the power button and the volume down (minus) to enter fastboot mode.*
* Recovery:* Press and hold the power button and the volume up (plus) to enter Recovery mode.
* Qualcomm FIL AKA "Emergency Download Mode ( Also called ËDL" Press and hold the power key and the volume up and down key ( at same time!) to enter EDL Note, you have to be in EDL mode to see Port 9008
If you can not get the computer to recognise the phone
Try another usb C cable
Try another usb port
Make sure antivirus is disable
Reinstall android drivers
Reboot the computer
Make sure that your user has admin rights
FLASHALL.bat Method
There are several ways to unbrick, flashall.bat is absolutely the easiest and fastest. Instructions and Rom posted on the post link below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79854585&postcount=90
Qualcomm EDL Mode
Manual Method
You need to press all 3 buttons Volume up and Volume down + the power button simultaneously
Turn*off and press and hold [*Volume button**+**Power button**] for about 10 seconds to enter*fastboot mode

Alternate way to get into edit mode ( Press vol+ and vol- while plugging usb into pc. enter in edl mode.
[email protected] Place Qfil in Main Drive: I.E the C or D, etc primary system drive
Once there uncompress your Qfil.zip Note that your directory is now C:\Qfil, or D:\Qfil.
Launch Flash 2.0 main.exe from within the Qfil directory ( Again its: C:\Qfil, or D:\Qfil.)
To start Flash program : Open Flash 2.0 Folder and click "main.exe"
Within Flash app: Click "Flash Type" window select "Qualcomm - flash dead phone"
Refresh> then you will see that port 9008 is now available
Click "Select file and then choose the Leeco "Qfil" Firmware (The path cannot not contain spaces) If you have trouble selecting the file > Right click on file> click properties > then highlight the path and right click copy> Paste into select file window.
Click the "Flash" button at the bottom of the window.
Once completed, disconnect the phone and power on. To exit the Qualcomm Recovery mode, keep the Power Button pressed for about 1 minute or until the phone will vibrate and restart into system.
After restoring your device with Qfil, the phone memory will display the incorrect amount. The solution is to flash the original stock EUI firmware.
After you have performed all of the steps
* Your Le Pro 3 will have the technicians repair version of EUI.
* The phone may not boot automatically.
* Press and hold the Power Button for 30+ seconds and the phone will vibrate
* Release the power button, it will vibrate again after 10-20 seconds*
* The phone will leave the Qualcomm Repair Mode, and will vibrate continuously for 20 seconds or longer.
* In some cases the phone could take as long as 15 minutes to start. But usually it's faster.
* Immediately you will notice that part of your storage is missing, reformat storage to resolve
Repair Storage
Restore to Default Stock Software for your Device
Option 1: Flash your Zl1 Recovery or My Recovery
Option 2 Flash full stock X720 firmware.
Option 3: Push the latest TWRP Recovery and Root to the phone. > Use SuperSu at this stage, as Magisk will not work yet.
You can use the Leeco Official Rom Downloads
Le Pro 3 : http://bug.letv.com/cn/download/phone/56 ( X720/X727)
Elite : http://bug.letv.com/cn/download/phone/80 ( X722 - Use only with ADB )
Custom Rom Install: ( The All in One Tool provides quick easy options for Stock and Custom Rom installation
Once TWRP is installed,
Format storage and reboot to Recovery
Format.> Type yes. then immediately reboot to recovery > you may see a message that no OS is installed, ignore, check to install TWRP
Reboot to Recovery and place files in Storage via your Desktop or Better Yet: Use an OTG Flash Drive and install from it.
Now you are ready to flash a Compatible Rom, Gapps And Magisk
So that is how you unbrick.
If you would rather have a visual guide the embedded link may be easier for you to follow.
Although the link above is for the Leeco Max 2., the steps are identical!
It's not in English: so use Chrome and enable Google Translate
QPST Alternative Method
Go Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77723528&postcount=2
Remember to only use the files for the your device and the only Qfil that will work for the X720 /X727 is named : Qfil: le_zl1_qfil_ufs_fix
If you have an X722 go to the F.L.V thread linked above for your Qfil file then you can come back here for instructions if needed.
Good luck, be patient, the first time unbricking can be stressful and will sometimes take a while, mostly because you are not familiar with the steps yet. Otherwise it's usually a fast process.
P.S.
Please Do not spam my PM box, these are the only instructions that you need and there is nothing more that I can give you beyond these instructions.
This year I have received possibly hundreds of PM's concerning bricks. ( Not kidding!) Hundreds!
So I can not respond to PM's about bricks, its too much., especially when the majority of these people never read the basic instructions. So any questions or answers concerning unbricking needs to happen here on this thread I apologise, but I will have ignore PM's with questions about de-bricking your device. However, I myself an hopefully others will check this thread often.
Note : If all else fails and you still can't get it and you absolutely need my help: You can mail the phone to me to attempt to debrick it for you for a small nominal fee or it will make a beautiful paperweight.
Hey recently recovered bricked X722 survivors:
Your help is needed here : Please help with supporting people with bricked phones. It will be greatly appreciated, and since most of you guys recovered you phone for free! Why not help out? We should have a lot of experts! [/COLOR][/B]
It Failed : Start Over
Ensure that your antivirus software is turned off it will detect these tools as a malware and delete parts of the file making them useless.
Did I mention that you should turn off antivirus?
To reiterate: trust that nothing bad will happen, you are already bricked, so turn off antivirus or pay someone to unbrick your phone, for you.
Trust that the people who do these type of repairs for a living rarely use antivirus because most "exploits" can often be be removed manually with ease.
Don’t give up so easily if something goes wrong
Simply do a gut check by rethinking and rereading the steps:
Did you follow instructions?
Did you reboot the computer after installing the drivers?
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers then reboot your desktop.
Did you disable Antivirus?
Unless your phone has hardware issues these steps will eventually work.
To reiterate If you device refuses to unbrick
most likely You missed a step!
Its either your cable, your desktop computer, or the device hardware.
Some X727 owners will have success using Qfil and unbricking and still have a black screen > First check that the phone has actually restarted normally, and is not still in EDL repair mode.
If you checked everything and still have this issue, your LCD may likely need to be replaced.
However, there is a couple of other methods which will be added that may resolve this kind of issue.
Go to post #2 and # 3 on this thread for additional ways to unbrick ​
Hypothetical Hardware Damage repair for cheap steps listed at this post.
One Last thing:
I understand that you are upset about your phone, but I DO NOT want to read your whining and ranting about Leeco using bad parts or the rom had poor development. IT'S YOUR FAULT PERIOD. >>> YOU decided to use custom roms.
Next, If I am spending my time to help you : you should really click thanks or I might be likely ignore your plea's There is nothing more annoying than spending 20- 30 minutes on multiple occasions, attempting to help someone that can't even click a thank you button. I am not collecting likes...it's simply a matter of common courtesy.
Yay you are now un-bricked! If you want to courteous and buy me cup of coffee, for making things easy for you, it will be appreciated. Have a nice day.

Alternate Way to Unbrick Using the QPST Method

I finally was able to go through with 100% success on flashing the QPST package via Qfil.
My phone is still on black screen with a strong short vibration everytime i try to turn it on. That's the only sign of life. I can't get the display to show anything to me (it was used only for a month and still is brand new and I don't think that screen is suddenly dead).
Phone still boots into 9008 mode and thats pretty much it. Can't try anything as phone doesn't boot normally. Are there any extra pointers to try the revival?

Alternate Way to Unbrick Using the QPST Method
Keep in mind that issues that remain after using Flash 2.0 or QPST could be caused by your Desktop.
Make sure that antivirus and defender is disabled
Try right clicking on the unknown device listing in Device manager and choose update driver.
Afterwards use the All in One tool to update Android drivers, ADB and allow system wide privileges.
Try another computer if you have one nearby.
Make sure that you are in EDL Qualcomm mode :
QPST - Try Flash 2.0 first before attempting to use QPST. Most of the time Flash 2.0 is a fast and easy way to unbrick your device.
QPST Flash Tool: https://androidmtk.com/download-qpst-flash-tool
B]Update android Drivers on PC, and turn on test signing.[/B]
If your phone is not seen in Device manager:
* Go into QFIL mode: Press on vol+ and vol- simultaneously while holding power*
* Alternate way to get into EDL mode ( Press vol+ and vol- while plugging usb into pc. enter in edl mode. ( See OP for using ADB)
* Now you should be able to see the phone as 9008 Port .
* Install QPST.WIN.x.x installer
* Install Qcom Driver*
* Run Qfil main.exe and set the configuration to download configuration.
* Device Type: Set To UFS,
* Other Options Don't Change. *
* Press Ok To Confirm .
* Select Build Type – Flat Build
* Select Programmer *Choose "Prog _Ufs_Firehose_8996_Ddr.Efl"
* Load *Xml- Choose All Ramprogxxxx —Choose All Pathxxx
* Ensure that you are in EDL mode
* Connect The Usb Cable > Qualcomm Hs-Usb Qdloader 9008 "Port Appears at the top Press Download To Flash , If Flash Failure To Stop , You Need Press Three Key To Power Off Your Phone , And Do Up Step Again To Flash , Try again until successful.
If the steps from the OP and within this QPST post fail:
This link may have additional things to try: http://en.miui.com/thread-266598-1-1.html
If none of this works you unfortunately have a hardware based problem.

Once you have restored your phone, you will need to repair your storage space.. You can do repair several ways. I would suggest that you use one of the two options below:
You could flash my recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-...clean-t3727920
It has Magisk and Root, though it would need to be updated. But, it will restore you partitions. > From here you can quickly return to using custom roms.
Another Option is return to full stock with the stock Rom : http://ota.scloud.lfengmobile.com/ot...41S-5.9.02.zip
Note this needs to be flashed via ADB or by using the All In One Tool ; it will remove all data from phone and restore the phone as if it just came out of the box.
Edit :
Another version of Official Stock: http://bug.letv.com/cn/download/phone/56
Once the phone is restored by Qfil to the Technicians Repair copy
Boot into fastboot, You can push TWRP and SuperSU to your device as long as its unlocked
Another option
Download the stock Rom, change its name to "update.zip" then use Leeco's Recovery mode to install the software.
Unlock Bootloader and Flash Roms, Gapps and Magisk
HOW TO INSTALL TWRP
Enable developer options
Allow oem unlock
Power off
Hold Volume down + Power for Fastboot mode
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot boot twrp.img
adb push twrp.img /sdcard/
Choose "Install" and then "Install Image"
Select twrp.img
Select Partition "Recovery"
Confirm Flash
Reboot to recovery
One more method to try : Flash-all.bat
The .bat file It will automatically flash all of the boot images to the phone. Afterwards your device will be fully restored to stock.

Follow instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77723530&postcount=3
After you have restored your phone to full stock : you would need to start from the beginning, to use custom Roms again : I.E, unlock the bootloader etc.

I appreciate all of your help but I've been searching for the stock ROM for days and can't find it I'm only finding the eui 5.8.28s for the x720 model and I heard that update has lots of bug's with the playstore

I've read everything on the tread but sorry for the stupid question I'm a noob but it looks like that back up is from TWRP but I'm using leeco stock recovery where I live data is very expensive so I want to know if it will work before wasting my data downloading it??

If your plan is to return to custom Roms, do what I mentioned earlier.
Push TWRP and SU to your device.
Then boot to TWRP, your storage folder will now be accessible by your desktop computer. If you do not own an OTG adapter, buy one it makes using custom Roms a thousand times easier. They usually cost $3, and you can buy them at Walmart.
Download my Recovery, and unzip the file inside the TWRP folder, in storage. ( This path can only be this deep: Sd/twrp/Brbxxxx/files here ( don't created and name any additional folders after Brbxxxx)
Next boot to Twrp recovery, and click restore, selecting everything.
Now you will have clean stock with TWRP, and Magisk.
From there flash you flash you the latest TWRP...Again yes, the Recovery overwrote TWRP.
Next flash your Rom, Gapps and the very latest Magisk.
If you would rather have stock, there are plenty of versions of stock all over the internet...Every version. When I return home, I will see if I can find a link, or you can just Google " Leeco X720 Stock firmware"
If you foliar stock of Lt flash from And or the AllinOne Tool.

Okay here is stock 5.8.26.
I added it to my personal mega drive.
Here is the link from my drive
https://mega.nz/#!xB5ggKbQ!OeJbUAGKmlk6AZlzfMjxSGK8OnBkiYsDvdeekTauRag
Yes, it for a X720. It doesn't matter, the X720 and X727 ate the same with the exception of the Sim card, simply flash the radio driver"firmware" from the x727 5.8.20s to remind the phone that it is a X727.
Reminder, I have an X727. My recovery is a X727 5.8.20s recovery.

Thanks ? and I'm planning on staying on my stock recovery and ROM but I don't think you're noticing that I'm saying I don't have TWRP on my phone and my phone won't connect to my PC is there any way to update without a PC and TWRP?

First you can download the stock rom on the phone, then rename it to update.zip
Then boot to Leeco Recovery and install the stock Rom as a n update,.
If your computer is not seeing the phone, its either a driver issue ( Android USB driver) or the Firewall/Antivirus,
It could also be a corrupted user account. BTW, the account must have admin privileges. If all else fails use a different computer.
Since you restored the phone via Qfil,
Don't forget to enable developer options
Enable usb debugging,
set to MTP File transfer
OEM Unlock is selected.
The All in One tool should be able to show whether or not the bootloader is unlocked, while in fastboot mode.
Now that your phone is fixed read my signature.

It is really beginning to sound like you skipped a step
Did you do this part?
After your phone boots, you will see that its storage is abnormally 9.71 GB, to fix this just factory reset your phone choosing the option “Format Virtual SD card”. File system will be restored to normal values.
Now there should be no reason why the phone is not seen by your computer, and you cannot install a factory Rom. Unless the phone has hardware damage. ( which would not make sense since you were able to unbrick the phone ) In addition, did you try another desktop user, removing the android drivers and reinstalling? Worst case scenario, if you can't get it PM me, you can mail the phone to me and I will fix it for you ( This happens alot )

Well yeah that's the weird part my phone would only charge when it's connected to my computer but windows 10 says it's damage but I did the qfil part without any problem and yes I factory reset my phone so that doesn't make any sense and I tried installing TWRP but no luck I ordered a USB port replacement hope that's the problem. And I would mail you my phone but I'm only 15 and I live in the Caribbean

Okay no worries,
I am not totally convinced that there is an issue with the usb card, although it is possible.
Can you get access to another computer?
If so place all of your files ( All in One tool, Drivers, firmware, Rom, Gapps, Root etc) on a flash drive and take them with you..
If you can simply get a computer to see the phone again, you will be good to go> A computer with Linux would be a great option for testing the connectivity and proving that the issue lies with the Windows drivers or something that is blocking the connection ( Antivirus, etc)
On Windows: Go to the Control Manager> System > Device manager > then go to where it has USB and see if it lists the phone as a unknown device.or by name
If it does, that is the issue. Just uninstall flash 2.0, the qualcomm drivers, and te android usb driver and then reinstall, it could resolve the issue for good.
If you order the card it can be tricky because some of those card come with the option of two flex cable options such as this : You want this one Yellow Flex Cable
In fact, most of the time the issue is just the cable and not the card, those cables, have been known to go bad.
