Any way to unbrick without modifying the wire? - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

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

Anyone got success recovering from hard brick?

If anyone got success in recovering their z2 plus from 900e mode or unable to boot please tell us here how to do so. Thanks.
It happened to me . I cut down my z2plus plus cable to make deep flash cable and https://youtu.be/A9D-kqIziaA
Yes I got success
To enter in the edl mode or get 9008
Just follow the step
Completely switch off your phone
Now hold volume up button for 15 sec
After 15 sec press the power button for .5sec
Now again press and hold the power button insert the cable after you enter to edl mod realese both power and volume button
If any problem occur try it again and again
Done...
Okay so this helped me in booting to EDL mode, but still i'm unable to flash using QFIL or MiFlash. What should I do now?
Ensure the following steps
1 You have a valid qpst flashable file.
2. The file was extracted in c drive within a folder having simple name.
3. Start qfil app after going to the EDL mode perform the operation as fast as you can.
if problem persists .
TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING
okay Will try.

LG G8 STUCK IN Qualcomm HS-USM QDLoader 9008

Today I Bricked My LG820Qm
I was updating my Lg g8 using LG UP, When the Process on 64% my PC power off
After that my phone stuck in Qualcomm HS-USM QDLoader 9008
Any solution to come out from this mode to Downloaded Mode so that i can update using LG up.

Can you try to switch to download mode by press&hold VOL+ while inserting the USB cable (connected to PC). Phone needs to be off while doing so.

Try entering download mode with phone disconnected from USB cable.
Also try to see if it gets recognized by LG-UP or by LG Bridge. These 2 softwares don't need download mode to be able to flash, just the phone to be recognized on some PORT.
Try also factory reset hard menu. Also try switching between Slot A and Slot B. There is also this backup method. Phone is not dead on one of those slots.
If nothing works (but slot a slot b should 100% work) , wait for the firehose, it's just around the corner. That will restore the phone back 100%.
For more info search v50thinq on telegram app. :good:
I can t get to download as it freezes and without the USB cable it doesn't even try and enter. I appreciate the recommendations. I was thinking of the a/b seit hbut without the use of fastboot I am at a loss of how to switch between the two as I thought the system chose and the switch happened upon rebooting once a system had been selected ie as in turning the unit off after loading the os set a flag to go to the opposite system upon completing the inftframs and boot sequence.

So, if the device, as you say, lost power during an update like that, then almost assuredly you have at least one, if not numerous corrupted partitions.
And, it's specific partitions on the device that allow it to enter download mode. One of these most know about or have heard of is the laf partition. But other have to be there also for it to work, I don't remember exactly what the others off the top of my head, but that info is easily found.
The key thing you need (or any others commenting same prob), is to be able to enter EDL mode and have qfil installed and recognizing the device. If you can get that far, it would be easy to find the correct partitions you could flash with qfil and then immediately go from qfil to download mode.
Many many people have done this. Just get qfil set up (see guides section) and get the device recognized. that takes some effort but it's def doable.

Question phone has bricked itself without seeing a solution

I do not know in depth about all this stuff, I've just been thrown into it because my phone decided to brick itself in a system update after it got into my hands. I updated it and it went into crash dump, a few times, the just nonstop boot looped with the oneplus logo on, and some pixels bugging, then it stopped showing the oneplus logo all together and just boot loops, I can go into fast boot and nothing else, if I restart bootloader it now goes to a charge menu and rarely actually restarts fast boot, I just tried msm and I've tried booting into twrp but it wont work, i believe this is because the phone wont connect to my pc properly but i have tried universal adb drivers, new sdk, and official QUALCOMM ones to all get the same result of appearing in device manager as just andrioud and nothing else with no options for drivers, on msm it would show up but it wouldn't get past waiting for device. also i cant find a proper twrp rom for the 9 pro on here, atleast the stock one, nor can i find it anywhere else, i can only find the img. also i feel I'm missing something with flashing on the fastboot and am not seeing if I'm supposed to be doing something (of the limited things i can do) on the phone, or its all in commands and stuff on here. sorry this is horribly written, I'm tired and stressed because of this.

You shod download "EDL" tool (even called MSN)
unzip and exetute ad admin (read specifications and troubleshooting in the related thread)
ensure tour phone is off
press and keep both volume buttons while connecting it to PC
then the COM X connection should become "green + connected"
go with "start" and just wait the processo to end

Download mode is not vol up + power, that's bootloader
EDL (Download mode) is both vol buttons + power
It should show up in the device manager on the computer as a Qualcomm device if it's worked correctly.

EDL mode is NOT both Volume buttons + Power, it's just HOLDING BOTH THE VOLUME BUTTONS and WHILE HOLDING THE VOLUME BUTTONS, CONNECT THE USB CABLE. The phone needs to be in a switched OFF state before doing this.
By holding both volume buttons and the power button, you will force restart your phone into bootloader mode (fastboot mode).
And VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON is recovery mode.

Question Need help unbricking -> EDL not accessible for MSM

[SOLVED see post below]
Hi all,
Just bricked my Phone and can't access MSM. Hope you can help me. I will try to be very clear on the steps I took to get to this point.
Device: EU OnePlus 9 Pro
What is was trying to do: Go from rooted C.47 to Pixel Entended ROM
What I did:
Code:
Unrooted using Magisk uninstall option
Updated to c.48 through OTA
Go to lineageOS page on how to ensure all firmware partitions are consistent
very stupidly did not flash dtbo and vendor boot partition
did adb reboot fastboot in stead of abd reboot bootloader
Download the "lineage-19.1-20220701-recovery-lemonadep.img" and tried to temporaryly flash it by
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
This resulted in the device getting stuck on the 1+ boot logo.
I can still force turn it off by holding Volume Up + Power.
When I try to access EDL by turned off and Vol UP + Vol Down + Plug and release, My PC makes a connection sound and the screen stay black for a while. After +- 10 seconds, the PC makes a disconnection sound and the phone boots up and gets stuck again on the 1+ bootup icon.
Also my phone won't stay turned off when plugged in the charger or pc
Yes, but what is it presenting as (i.e. EDL, fastboot, ADB, UMS...) when it connects?
If this is Windows, UsbLog.exe is handy to identify things popping up (as long as they have drivers installed).
For a list of devices that have ever tried to connect, try "enumusb.exe /l".
Both available here: https://www.temblast.com/windows.htm

I will try this
I found the issue:
> EDL exits after 10 seconds if it is not captured by the MSM tool.
> The MSM tool only monitored 4 of my 10 USB ports
> So it was not captured because I was plugged in to an unmonitored USB port and rebooted after 10 seconds
> I have successfully used the MSM tool now
Oh! A bit off-topic, but I have never understood why EDL is commonly used over a "serial" port.
The interface that EDL presents is a generic USB bulk interface with two endpoints. You can use it just like that.
But no. They have to use a Qualcomm driver that makes it look like a "serial" port and then you can connect to that.
Me? I use a generic "WinUSB" Zadig driver. I have an EDL client that just connects to that fine.
So does the Python client implementation.
Also, I've never run into that 10 second timeout.

Your phone needs to be in OFF state mode when you're using EDL.
So, very simple:
Enter bootloader mode by holding both volume buttons with the power button together till your phone restarts and enters the bootloader.
From the bootloader screen you can use the volume buttons to navigate through the choices and you can select "Switch off".
When you complete this, you need to hold both volume buttons, and while holding them connect the cable (PC).
If you don't have or you don't have the correct Qualcomm EDL drivers installed, your phone will reboot or start to boot, it won't stay in EDL mode for longer than 10 seconds.
I also got the correct drivers for you, but you need to install the drivers manually while your device is in "EDL" mode, so, you need to be a bit "fast".
I have even a video for you, but need to upload it to YouTube so you can watch it.
I'll share you here the drivers just in case if you're familiar with a manual installation of the drivers.

Question Unable to enter in EDL mode

I brick my phone and it bootloops... So i can't enter into the firmware...
I can't enter into any recovery so I can't sideload...
My only way is using EDL.. but I'm unable to enter... I completely turn it off, pressed both vol buttons and plug the cable
If I keep the buttons, it enters always en fastboot mode; if I not hold the buttons it tries to load the normal firmware and bootloads
How can I enter? Why I am unable to sideload?
Please help

With that it restarts but not load TWRP
I've been through some woes this week with MSM Tool and my advice for anyone that gets to that point this week when trying to get to Android 13 with root:
If you open MSM Tool and you don't see any ports or devices listed (ever), then you have a driver problem. If you get the Sahara error you have the wrong MSM Tool or more-likely, you didn't play Simon Says correctly with your buttons.
If you get the sahara error or you cannot ever get your phone into EDL mode, then do the following:
Take a deep breath
Unplug your phone
Grab your phone like a crab claw and mash both volume buttons and the power button so you can easily hold all 3 at the same time
Hold all 3 down for 30 seconds then let go
Wait a few seconds
Hold ONLY the volume buttons down for a few seconds
Did the phone turn on? If not then sweet the phone is off off
Now hold both volume buttons down for 10 seconds and then plug in your usb cable with MSM Tool already open
You should now be in EDL mode and if not you're bad at Simon Says so try again
If your screen is black and you get nothing back from MSM Tool then it's your drivers.
I focused so so much on changing PCs and cables and MSM Tools and fastboot commands when in reality drivers were my issue from the beginning and MSM Tool and EDL mode are both flakey. The above steps worked for me 100% of the time. You just have to actually wait a long time between your steps.
