I'm trying to install driver for my X9006
But my PC recognizes a drive which is "corrupted", Windows can't open the drive, so I can't install driver.
Instead my phone is recognized as a "portable media player". There's no green Oppo logo on the DVD drive which is supposed to appear.
I cannot flash anything because I'm stuck on stock recovery. I tried to flash stock ColorOS 1.2.0i but installation failed halfway. Same goes for ColorOS 2.0.0i beta. All failed. I want to wipe the whole thing clean.
So I'm thinking it might be infected perhaps? The only thing I could think of was, I rooted it using Root Genius. It installed Kinguser, which is a fishy app. Granted me root access but God knows what it did to my phone (you know... Chinese and their hackers and malwares..)
Help! I run windows 7 64-bit btw.

Well your device is a portable media player in its own way....is it not? Mine is also recognized by my computer that way.
The driver should appear where your dvd drive is. It'll have the green oppo logo.
Can you access you phone when you plug it in? When you click on the phone can you see your internal storage/sd card...if so it is being recognized.
Have you installed any third party roms or recoveries? I'm assuming not since you say you are stuck on stock recovery.
Try googling the stock firmware...or go to oppoforums website and go down to colorOS and you can find downloads there...I know versions 1.2.3 and above failed halfway through for me too...but wiping and using the original stock firmware and then upgrading via OTA worked fine...If that fails as well...you could try reinstalling the recovery as well..

I can access my phone alright. Everything is there, in the internal storage.
It's just that the driver doesn't appear where my dvd drive is. It's driving me nuts. No green oppo logo, nada.. and clicking on the dvd drive that appears when I plug in the phone makes windows come up with an error message that says something like "windows cannot access this drive"

Are you sure the drivers weren't already installed?
You could also try manually installing the drivers. I'd post some links...but I'm still new so it won't let me.
Do a quick "oppo find 7a drivers" google search, first or second link should do the trick, just make sure you read to make sure its the correct driver for your phone and computer's OS.
Is there a specific problem you are having with the phone? Or are you just trying to start fresh? You can still wipe data/cache in stock recovery, as well as flash stock roms, but like i said, they are finicky for whatever reason.

Okay you might be right. So I suspect the driver has already been installed when I used Root Genius to root the phone, that's why I didn't see any Oppo green logo on the dvd drive.
No specific problem with my phone.. Just that I wanted to try flash other ROMs and was following instructions when I got confused as to whether my PC has the driver already..
The other day I was trying fastboot and apparently the PC didn't detect anything. I tried many things, forgot what did I do to finally manage to make it able to detect my phone (via command <fastboot devices>)
Thanks.

Well you have the drivers for the phone installed most likely.
As for fastboot, did you install the androidsdk?? You'll need that in order to flash a custom recovery.
Do another quick google search: "how to use fastboot with oppo find 7a" the second entry from oppoforums has a guide to root the phone...I know you used "rootgenius" which i have no idea what that is I've always rooted android myself through custom recoveries (although it may be a similar process, just automated). That guide will at least show you how to install the tools you need to use fastboot correctly. If you have any troubles, let me know, ill do my best to help
---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------
I forgot to mention, if you do use that guide...make sure you don't flash the x9077 TWRP version that the guide uses as an example. Just go to TWRP's site and find the version for your phone.... x9006. Then follow them as normal.
Hello my dear xda community,
today my zenfone 2 ze551ml 2,3ghz 4gb WW just died.
heres the story:
i plugged it in to charge, then i unplugged it for about 10 minutes and plugged it in again but it didnt charge.
so i tried to reboot and then strange bootloops occured. after a few tries i managed to boot again. after the next reboot it got stuck in bootloop completely.
next i tried to boot into fastboot. sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. when i want to boot into recovery a dead blinking bot appears and i cannot enter the options.
also sometimes my fastboot shows the serialnumber "0123456789abcdef" and sometimes it shows it correct. another thing is that when im in fastboot mode my pc does not recognize my phone.. no connection sound nothing. not on windows (yes drivers are installed) and not on linux.
only thing i managed was to establish a connection when i restored my bootloader with xfstk downloader. (did not change a thing)
so now when i boot there are 3 things that can happen:
1. dead bot blinking
2. asus boot screen (stuck)
3. bootloop
im having this problem for about 6 hours now and i have no further ideas how to possibly reflash stock firmware without being able to use fastboot (i can enter it but pc wont recognize) and without being able to properly start recovery mode (dead bot BLINKING)
yes my phone was rooted
and no i did not do any updates it just happened
EDIT: forgot to tell you.. when all this started i was able to boot a few times into my os (stock os just debloated) but was not able to charge or connect to pc. also when my phone is turned off and i connect it via usb to the charger or pc, the phone all of a sudden tries to boot
thanks in advance
cheers

hard bricked my phone recently and have the same 123456etc serial. This happened when I flashed boot.img without doing Androidboot.img first. It was a long recovery process,but I did get it recovered; however, I don't think I can fast boot from the bootloader anymore. If you want details for that route I can give them. Basically just search for hard brick. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're desperate. My phone is up and rooted again tho, so I'm happy.

yeah would be nice if you would guide me how to "recover" my phone again.
i tried flashing an os image via xfstk downloader but it failed probably due to the lack of proper files.
Sounds like you might need a new cable too

What I did was found a raw image that was supposed to flash the whole phone. With Asus flash tool. You need the x.14 version. I couldn't get it to flash my phone but I could see it repartitioning . I pulled the cable after that. Don't reboot. Then flash all the .IMG files from the temp folder. After that, it was stock and took some work getting it unlocked then rooted. After that and having twrp I just reloaded my last saved image.

i can only find die x.15 version but i think it should be enough. the problem is that ze2 is not reacting to pc commands when in bootloader.. so i can not operate in with fastboot commands and asus flash tool requires fastboot mode
maybe my last option is to flash my phone via intel phone flash tool which operates via the soc. but i dont have the necessary files. as i remember i would need some flash.xml and image
maybe there is someone who is able to provide files i would need for the intel phone flash tool. i searched but i only could find the flash.xml file for other zenfone models then zenfone 2

When using xfstk did it confirm it was able to write the bootloader? Also, what version of Windows? I have 10 and it took booting the Os into a recovery mode and accepting the drivers even though they weren't signed. In the offset or write settings in xfstk I had five zeroes. I heard someone use 4, but the majority said 5. I used 5. Are you able to see the boot screen as a 4 color box?

OK, I think I've figured it out. Realized my phone was crashing when I went to make a call. RessurectionRemix formatted my SD card and wasn't readable anymore, so frustrated I said f**k it, let's start over.
1) it's 4 zeros, not 5.
You'll notice when you're flashing with xFSTK Downloader it attempts to flash twice. It appears the first flash is for the bootloader, and the second is for OS. It needs to flash both. I could not get it to flash both until I updated the GP Flag Override Value to 0x80000807. Then it went without a hitch.
2) install fastboot and adb with the driver package.
It's on the site here. Once I did that the ASUS Flash tool did its thing. For those wondering if it's doing something or not - the answer is, if the phone looks like it's not doing anything - it's not doing anything. After I installed adb and fastboot, along with the drivers, it took about 5 minutes to flash end to end without a hitch.
So the takeaway is - if it's flashing the first portion, you have connectivity to the phone - but that does NOT mean adb/fastboot will have connectivity like it should. That takes the special google drivers. Also, it needs to flash TWICE for xFSTK. If it doesn't do both, things will be broken.
I found a raw image that was quite old 2.15.40.13 on asus-zenfone.com. password for zip is asus-zenfone.com. I've flashed that, and about to update to 2.19.40.20 to do the unlock. Rooting with one click root worked fine, but unlock I don't know did. So I'm getting the specific version it says it works for. I'll post an update when that's done.
Cheers
Unfortunately that didn't resolve my phone dialing, crashing the phone problem. :L

This did:
Make sure you go to settings-->apps-->default apps and select the dialer as your default application to make calls.

thank you very much for your help.
the first point chaning it to 4 zeros did the trick. i was able to reinstall the bootloader.
but i still dont have connectivity via fastboot. im sure all drivers are installed and even on linux i cant see my phone. what is that special google driver?

with 5 zeros it only loaded the firmware but skipped the os. with 4 zeros it loaded both. and yes i was able to see the colorbox.
im using windows 10 and what drivers do you mean? i installed the 15s driver package from xda

This did it for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
After installing that, Asus flash tool worked for me
Also I found it will sometimes stall during flash. After partition and before flashing. If it doesn't show anything changing on the phone for 2-3 minutes, (except when it's flashing system), cose the app, make sure fastboot, fastboot2, and adb are all closed, and try again. Make sure to launch AFT as administrator.
Don't forget to catch the first boot before it loads the OS - AFT reboots once complete - and run unlock tool right then. if you miss it you have to start over.

Try a different USB port. On the back of the computer. For whatever reason that made a difference for me. I couldn't use the front ones.

ok.. lets summarize what i did:
1. installed adb/fastboot driver package
2. installed intel dnx driver (with isocusbdriver iwasnt able to open xfstk)
3. installed asus flash tool
4. installed xfstk downloader
5. loaded fw + os with xfstk downloader (successful)
-----
6. while in bootloader i connected my phone to the pc and tried to use asus flash tool (as admin) - not listing devices
i tried every usb port i have and several different cables, nothing helps
im slowly giving up... in the attachments you have snapshots how it looks like when im connected and in fastboot mode. to make sure no dead drivers are in my way im on a freshly installed win10
EDIT: now something happened. i flashed bootloader via xfstk, then i powered off my phone and connected it again. then for a second AFT showed my serial number, but the state was a red X
after i restore my bootloader via xfstk. what do i have to do so AFT can see my phone? what you can see in the attachments is all i get from AFT.. but i dont know how to stay connected

You can leave flash tool and xfstk open same time. I flashed with xfstk, waited some time and moves between the bootloader options. Make sure no residual adb or fastboot exes are running. Then unplug the phone and plug it back in. Then it will show up. Select the option you have and click start. See if the bootloader shows any life or incoming partitioning happening . If that doesn't work reboot to bootloader scroll around in it to make sure it's loaded , it brings in the correct serial intermittently. But I don't think it's necessary.

So xfstk reboots
Xfstk round two no reboot scroll around
AFT
Unplug USB from phone and reconnect
Should show up .
Then click start. Did it give an error with that X?
Look at processes and see if it's launched adb or fastboot

I think you're close - it's flashing what's needed, and recognized the phone, although it did for me also but fastboot didn't work until the drivers with adb and fastboot. The last things I would think is reinstall the Google adb fastboot drivers with the phone connected to the USB port that got you this far, and if there is some serial no verification, look for .14 version of AFT.
Hi,
I got a tablet from a friend of mine with broken software. So i tried to flash te original firmware with Odin, but something went wrong when I tried to flash it. I don't know what went wrong it just said FAIL. Now when I connect the tablet it only shows CLOVERVIEW in device manager without the correct driver. I googled a little and found something from an Asus zenfone driver installation and now I've got 2 devices when I connect it: CloverviewPlus Device and Intel Soc USB driver. I suppose this has to do something with the Intel processor in the tablet. I downloaded a program xFSTK-downloader and can find the tablet in the program, but I don't have the correct files to flash anything on the tablet. The program ask for FW Dnx, IFWI, OS DnX, OS Image. Where can I get these files or is there another way to restore the tablet?
Sorry for the bad English and greetings from Holland
I've put it in the wrong section, can someone delete this thread? Thanks
Hi guys, my friend gave me his girlfriend's Mi A2 Lite because it does not work. I need your help.
The phone does not turn on, no fastboot mode, no recovery mode. It is stock, without customization (no custom rom, no custom recovery, locked bootloader). The only think it does, when i plug it to a pc through usb, the light starts blinking. The pc recognize it like "Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008", that mean (i think) it is in edl mode, but if i try to flash a rom with miflash, it give me an error "cannot receive hello packet..."
Sorry for the long message, i hope you guys can help me. Thank you

It is probably problem with the rom you download (it needs to be tgz.file ) or you put wrong address of the file in mi flash program. Make sure to download rom from this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871 ( you need to extract this)
and just in case watch this video for beter understanding (2 and half minutes long) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdvAlb7cXvQ&t=55s
let me know if this works. Good luck.

I tried rom you linked me:
1st attempt: for few seconds status says "flashing", after that it changes in "ping target via firehose"; after about 80 seconds it gaves error.
2nd attempt: status says "can't receive hello packet" and give me error.
After these 2 attempts, pc does not recognize the phone at all. On device manager it says "unknown usb device" instead of Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
What can i try now?
Thank you
You didn't say why the phone is not working, maybe is hardware problem not software, anyways try to download drivers on pc to recognize phone, if that is not helping you probably need to buy new motherboard and replace it

If screen is not turning on maybe you need new screen

The phone turn off by itself and stop working. I've updated driver on pc. I've to solve "ping target via firehose" problem on miflash.
There is any method to discharge battery even if the phone won't boot?
Hi, everybody
I had the brilliant idea to try to re-lock the bootloader after installing a custom ROM, now my Acquaris X Pro is bricked. ?
I realized that the only way to resurrect it is to use Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL) by loading the original firmware. The software starts and reveals the Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (COM3) interface and asks me to load the contents.xml file of the programmer.
I then downloaded the latest firmware from the official https://www.bq.com/en/support/aquaris-x-pro/support-sheet page and unpacked the archive, where I found the contents.xml file which I then uploaded to QFIL.
The status window indicates that the prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn file is missing and is trying to load from the BOOT.BF.3.3 folder, which clearly is not present. So I looked for this online and found the folder to download on a Git repository (https://git.szzt.com/yixing/ticai_src). I downloaded the folder and placed it in the path where QFIL expects to find it. I then reloaded the contents.xml file and it reports me the lack of an additional file: rawprogram_unsparse.xml belonging to a certain folder MSM8953.LA.3.0.1.
Unlike the first one, I can't find this last folder online. Can someone help me? ?
Hi @fede91it,
Sorry for the late answer - I have been quite inactive on xda recently
Unfortunately I don't have a solution for you right away, but I got a working X Pro with stock rom (+twrp and magisk) and a bit of experience with the "standard" tools like adb and fastboot. Never worked on such a low level like you though.
Does the tool you mentioned (QFIL) offer the possibility to grab contents from the phone instead of downloading it to it?
Maybe we can get the missing data from my phone?
Sorry for the dump/obvious question, but: What happens in the current bricked state when you turn the phone on? You can't enter fastboot and unlock..?
Another approach: have you tried contacting BQ? Maybe via their forum https://www.mibqyyo.com/. Possibly the missing files are device specific and you would need bqs help..
Thanks for your answer.
I have contacted BQ but they no longer deal with Android phones, I have no support from them.
As for you, thanks for your availability, but the files I'm looking for are for development and don't end up on my phone, so it's impossible to try to extract them from your phone.
By now I've changed phones and kept the Bq as a paperweight brick

Hey, did you recover your paperweight? I'm in the same situation but with the BQ X PRO
I could not solve it. There are some files missing for the compilation, and I can't find them
Have you tried this method by only using the firehose? forum.hovatek.com/thread-31505.html
Hey, did you recover? I made the same mistake as you. I managed to repair ...
What I did was:
- I removed the battery cable (I did not remove the battery completely)
- I pressed on VolDown button and connected the phone via usb to the pc and immediately went into fastboot mode
- I opened the BQ app on the pc, I loaded the rom and put it to install the rom. It asked to unlock the bootloader (which is what we want) ... The ROM could not be flashed, but it is not important ... As soon as you unlocked the bootloader, the phone started up without a problem

Hello! Maybe it's too late, but I have the same problem as you and I found this post that talks about our mobile! In it you can find a lot of information, but also the links to download the stock ROMs and the flashing tool to get back to the factory Rom and unbrick the phone! I leave you the links below! Hope it also helps others with the same problem as we! Greeting

Hi,
I managed to get everything working properly.
I installed the Lineage OS custom rom and it works 5 *, with a custom rom you should not block the boot loader, it was the mistake I made.
The solution I used I described 2 comments above

Hi,
Ah ok.
Just opened it, disconnected the battery. While pressing down VOL- button, I connected it to USB.
Nothing happens on the phone screen. I don't even see the blinking red light now.
Device manager shows it as 9008 COM port.
BQ flash tool doesn't recognise the phone.
I previously installed BQ drivers and rebooted.
Any other suggestions, before I close it back?

It is strange because it usually shows something on the screen right away ... Pressing the Power button also does not appear anything?
Did you install the ADB drivers? After the ADB drivers are installed, the BQ program recognizes the smartphone
and it also opens doors to use the command line to do almost anything.

the number 9008 sounds like the EDL mode and NOT the wanted fastboot mode which is required by the usual way of flashing via bq tool or fastboot/adb tools.
What is EDL Mode and How to Boot your Qualcomm Android Device into it
Android phones and tablets equipped with Qualcomm chipset contain a special boot mode which could be used force-flash firmware files for the purpose of unbricking or restoring the stock ROM.
