Anyone got success recovering from hard brick? - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

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.
Update:
Workedd....!!! Thanks a Tonn......

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

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.

Which ever combination, Vol- + power phone power of

I don't know where to ask so I'm gonna try here. My G820N is stuck on Android 10 beta. Whenever I flash an official kdz, it only allows for emergency calls. Can't do anything. Any help would be appreciated

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.

LG G8s Bootloop after rooting with Magisk

Today I installed magisk with the help of this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/how-to/rooting-g8s-guide-t4044193 . It worked and I had root access. After some hours I restarted my phone and now it's in bootloop. It can't shutdown and it's restarting endlessly (pressing the power button for 20 seconds shut it down but it immediatly restart). I can only enter the hard reset menu (by holding volume down and power button, is there a combination for recovery mode with volume up?)
I know I need a way to enter fastboot mode to reflash the normal boot partition from the original kdz or the entire kdz but I can't. neither adb devices or fastboot devices finds the phone and the phone it's not in recognized by the PC so no COM port assigned. Tried to follow this https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g8-th...nbrick-restore-lg-g8-thinq-back-to-stock.html
Update: I entered the fastboot mode. I plugged the usb-c cable while clicking the volume down button while the phone was off. Now I will try to flash the boot_a.image from the original kdz file
Flashing the original boot_a.image worked. I will now try to understand why this happened

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...

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

Hold both volume buttons and power bottom to enter fastboot mode, in fast boot mode type fastboot boot twrp.img or what ever the twrp image name is and in twrp boot to EDL. Make sure MSM Download Tool to is up and running and you clicked the start button first. It will flash the firmware to the phone....

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.

Bricked lg g820UM

I've bricked my g8 a long time ago.
If i recall correctly, custom rom caused it to bootloop.
And i accidentally wipe all of the partitions.
Could anyone share a copy from their phone?
Also it doesn't react to pc anymore, drivers doesn't help too.
Well...com6 appears for a few sec when booting, but quickly disappears.
I am not sure if i forgot how to enter edl mode.
But if not that's not working as well.
neither is download mode.
Any ideas?
Sorry, no backup to share, but a couple of suggestions...
1. Recovery from a brick, including a scenario with totally wiped out partitions - this should guide you step by step through the process:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tutorial-rescue-from-hard-brick.4351389/
2. EDL mode (saved if from one of the guides a while ago, both options worked for me):
Hold Vol- and Power together, when the phone screen turns off to restart begin quickly pressing the Vol+ but keep holding Vol- and Power.
Here is a youtube video of how to boot to EDL:
Alternatively, with phone off, plug in usb cable and wait for the charging symbol to start flashing, then hold Power and Vol- together and start tapping Vol+. Sometimes it's easier that way.
