Hard bricked...Need a solution :( - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Hello,I recently flash a wrong file and now my device is straight up dead no logo nothing the led blinks for a mini second and turns off I tried using qfil and mi flash but it was getting detected as 900e port and wasn't even detected on mi flash I tried updating drivers and got it to 9008 but still it would get stuck forever when I hit download asap in qfil or would show some sahara port error and still no detection on mi flash even in 9008 mode I tried over 50+ times using the button combinations to get it to 9008 mode but every time it would be 900e any solution other than deep flash as I have just one type c cable and I may screw up

Press volume up key for 15 seconds, then press power button & insert usb (within a second) to pc..it will get it to edl mode..

probably your only way out is deep flashing, i've been through this

any solution for this ? i'm suffering the same

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

I tried each and every version of Mi Flash tool but not the first one. On each versions the Qualcomm HS USB qdloader 9008 changed to 9006 but after 4or 5 seconds the loader reverts back to 9008 and the error happens.
Will try the first version of mi flash tool. Thanks.....

Z2 plus dead completely

It was working fine till the failed OTA update.
After a failed OTA update the phone is dead completely.
Unable to boot, or to recovery or to bootloader etc
Attempted QFIL and even that is not working.
A tiny white light is on but nothing else.
Did anyone recover the phone from this problem?
Or is the phone gone forever?
try to disconnect the battery, then plug again and try qfil
Hi, Can you try pressing Power button for long till the phone vibrates
Keep the Power button pressed down for a good 30-40 seconds or until u feel a little vibration.

QFIL recognises the phone as Qualcom HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (Com3).
Is this correct?
I downloaded this Lenovo_ZUK_Z2_Plus_Indian_Firmware_V2.5.104_ST_by_Annabathina file?
In Qfil, i chose flat build and then only the above folder is shown and its shows two files with .elf extension as below.
prog_emmc_firehose_8996_ddr & prog_emmc_firehose_8996_lite
Which one should i use? Howlong the process goes? I tried both and i don't see any changes even after 15 minutes?
Is there a guide available?
Any links if possible?
Thanks
Plenty of guides if you Google it. Your phone is NOT dead and can be recovered but you'll lose your data after a qfil. Zuk z2 is pretty much impossible to brick
This is simple to solve, make a deepflash cable to enter in edl mode.

Flash a proper stock rom, if you have a Mi A2 Lite phone through EDL mode this will revert a normal brick.
EDL mode is ever accesed, it might happen that device doesn´t start any kind of transfering data process through EDL, this means that your device is hard bricked in a way that motherboard can´t receive data so it´s damaged at hardware level but to prove this you have to first install the proper Qualcomm HS-USB qdloader 9008 drivers and see how is detected through device manager, it could be detected as Diagnostics 9006 with a warning symbol and then you have to update drivers, restart pc and re-start the process.
If then of bypass properly all the failures that XiaoMi flash tool can produce doesn´t work then the damaged was more serious.
If you unlocked previously (I guess you did it) then you can enter to EDL from a power off by holding both volume buttons at same time that you connect with pc -you have to first start the app and load the image- if device enters to EDL mode but the tool is not recognicing it the led light will stay on BUT if you entered correctly to EDL mode and also the tool is properly recognicing it (so the drivers were well updated) then the led light will flash intermitently.
At time to connect to pc in the mentioned steps you have not to receive any vibration just a sound from your pc.
In few words search in Google : test point mi a2 lite and do it

How is detected under device manager? qualcomm-HS-USB qdloader 9008? Also what about behaviour of led light, it stays on all the time or it blinks?
Edit: Now I read your previous post, Led light has to blink, this is correctly connected, see under device manager how it is detected.

Ok, Behaviour changes depending on what rom you actually are, it´s mean that now you have flashed some partitions from Miui rom (led light will stay off) at least it´s being detected.
Things that you can try:
- Move the rom to the same folder where XiaoMi flash is.
- Rename the folder as short as better like "xiaomi" without quotes.
- Put your Windows in "Test Mode", restart to changes take effects.
- Switch to other version of the tool, it worked for me latest from here https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/miflashpro/
- Try with other rom version.

Don't worry about led behaviour, your device will turn a bit weird cause you flashed a wrong firmware, the important here is that it's recognised by pc. What about the steps, tried?

Doesn't stays on edl mode

When pressed volume up and down key together and connected to pc it shows charging symbol then appears in my pc as qualcomm 9008 port then reboots .I'm trying to flash my device using qfil which needs phone to be in edl mode and my phone is not staying at edl mode so I can't flash it .Any advice will be really helpful.
