Best stock to flash via qpst - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

I don't flash any stock rom since Q3 2016 and now i need newer base to flash latest customs. What is best stock rom that i can flash via QPST? I mean which one is most actually (i know there is oreo but it's hard to find no modded version)

Deep flash cable
I needed to make a deep flash cable. It was impossible to get into EDL. I had installed stock ROM while the drive was encrypted and the new install was installed in it just fine, but the pattern was only a piece you needed to decrypt. The rest was in the OS I wiped. So I had to use the cable to get into edl.

Instead of EDL flash cable use this trick
Connect your phone to your PC in EDL mode:

Mix 2 bricked?! Flashing went wrong. Need help please.

Hey guys,
so this my problem:
I got the Mix 2 with the Chinese ROM. With the XiaoMiTool by Francesco Tescari I updated to the Global ROM V9.1.2.0 because I didn't want to wait to unlock the bootloader. This worked but I only had the choice to set China as my region. Since this was a common problem with updating the ROM without unlocking the phone I unlocked it and waited for 3 days to unlock.
Today I installed TWRP and installed the ROM xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMix2_7.11.16_v9-7.1. After this I was stuck with the Mi bootup logo. In TWRP I deleted cache, system, data. This worked EXCEPT for system. I thought updating TWRP to the newest version would help solve this issue. But since I'm new to this I didn't update it within TWRP but just installed the newer version via the commandfastboot flash recovery twrp.img. The result is that I can not get in recovery mode anymore. The only option is fastboot mode or the regular Mi logo endless boot.
What I tried so far: EDL flash method via adb/MiFlash but both don't work. The XiaoMiTool won't work too. The Mi PC Suite won't recognise the phone. When I use the edl.cmd the phone will go black for 2-3s and then return to fastboot.
I guess the problem at this point is that usb debugging is not turned on since TWRP installed the EU ROM and I could never get in it to enable the debug mode.
I couldn't find a solution to solve the boot up problem and can't seem to install/flash a new ROM at this point.
So what can I do? Do I need that special usb cable? Will the EDL points help me?
Maybe/Hopefully you can help me out.
EDIT:
When I turn on the phone it will directly go into fastboot mode. A normal start is not possible anymore?!...
EDIT 2:
I am now running the latest Global Rom this guide did it for me: en.miui. com/thread-1351514-1-1. html
Good to hear you got it up and running.

I've used MiFlash Tool, and the problem was fixed. Sahara Error occurs when you take to much time to flash after booting to EDL, you only have few seconds to flash util the port is closed for writing. QFIL takes around 20 to 25 seconds in caching the files so use MiFlash and It'll flash. Best way to do it is:
1. Install and setup MiFlash for flashing.
2. Open MiFlash and select your Firmware's folder.
3. As soon as you connect the phone refresh miflash and hit flash.
If everything goes well you'll flash will be successful else try again.
I tried doing as fast as a could too on mi flash and it would come up as trying to connect to com4 port something in the status and would eventually come back to same error in the picture.

I face this problem in windows 10.
first uninstall zuk drivers and qfill and disable driver signature enforcement (Google it how to do it) then install zuk drivers and qfill use original cable and your phone will get flashed

Follow the instruction from this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/zuk-z2-baseband-flashing-guide-t3715121
Do not listen to anyone telling you to use miflash, only use qfil otherwise you WILL encounter other issues because qfil is the only way to reach the deeper partitions that mi is unable to... Other issues may range from no volte, calling or signal problems etc its just easier to do it right the first time.

Moto Z2 Force Sprint bricked *Please help*

Hi all! I ask your help! I have Moto z2 Force on 8.0 Oreo and I installed custom recovery twrp-3.2.1-1-nash.img and foolishly chose Slot-B and then I reboot the phone. Now when connected to a computer, it is defined as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 . How can I bring it back to life?! Help please! :crying:
After many attempts, it was possible to flash blankflash_from_NDX26.183-15_17. Phone reboot in fastboot and then full flash stock firmware.

This happened to me on t-mobile yesterday and I managed to solve it by downloading this: (T-Mobile only) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fM5KLheeMYcs3yF7InOzHq6yGCOmrrbk/view
Extract the zip and while your phone is connected to your pc and booted in bootloader mode, run flash_all.bat, boot (don't flash) TWRP, install TWRP with the TWRP zip found here: https://dl.twrp.me/nash/twrp-installer-nash-3.2.1-1.zip.html
Then reboot to your newly installed TWRP recovery, factory reset, flash rom, reboot bootloader and run "fastboot -w".
After that you should boot up fine. Fastboot -w might not be necessary but I had to do it, otherwise I would boot but I would get an error message "android.process.media has stopped" without it.
Hello Friend!
Do you know if there is a solution for Moto Z2 Play? The update for Android 8 came automatically and I accepted. After a few days, he caught up and got into HardBrick! Neither the BootLoader options (power + volume (-)) are working !!
When I put it in the charger it will flash a white LED
Sorry, I'm using Google Translate

Letv LeEco Le1s hard bricked

Dear members, this is my first post and the problem is very complicted, so please bear with the long post
Device details:
LeEco Le1s (x500)
MTK6795 chipset
3 GB + 32 GB
Background:
I downgraded my ROM from 19s to 14s with SP Flash tool and the phone booted normally. I went through the initial setup, unlocked Developer mode and USB debugging. Then I opened the adb toolkit on Win 7 x86 machine to unlock bootloader and install twrp custom recovery at single go (instead of letting phone rebot after bootloader unlock and then proceeding with recovery flashing).
Now phone went to soft brick, to overcome which I needed to flash userdata with sp flash tool (I have done this in past also following a tutorial, the same files were used this time). But flashing process resulted in BROM error and I was not successful.
So, I re-flashed the original 14s rom via SP flash tool to get the things back to working, but phone didn't boot properly and bootloop situation was still there. I again reflashed the same ROM and this timephone entered red light of death mode, and didn't boot up after flashing original rom.
Now, I again googled this problem and found that we need to format flash with bootloader. Here the problem complicated further.
As soon as I formatted the flash and the bootloader, laptop stopped detecting the phone via usb cable. Now I can't flash any rom using SP flash tool as the phone is not detectable.
I have reinstalled my windows 7 32 bit operating system and reinstalled all the drivers for MTK smartphone. I have another Le1s phone running on 19s version of EUI marshmallow with stock recovery and locked bootloader which is detecting fine without problems.
Please guide me how can I resolve the problem.
Also guide if the other phone can anyhow help in this matter in terms of software backup for SP flash tool (I couldn't find a way of backing stock rom using SP flash tools.
Problem summary:
1) Flash with bootloader formatted
2) Phone is not detectable on Windows 7 32 bit OS and latest SP flash tools
3) Red LED turns on when phone connected to charger or laptop via usb cable,nothing on LCD display
4) Can't reach bootloader or recovery either
Help will be really appreciated. You all know the value of data stored on smartphones.
Thanks in advance!!

Question Stuck in EDL Bootloop

i am searching for a program and working drivers for my rmx3363 real me gt master edition to flash the stock firmware while in EDL mode (qualcom) because after i installed android 13 (rUI 4) it started to not to boot and when it is plugged in my PC it is just recognized as qualcon EDL
First you dont flash any firmware under version y instaled that is importante like ( rui3). Unplugin the battery and plug it then powr on the phone. (all this process just for not will losing the mather board because the stock firmware (ofp file) rui 4 not yet ixist). I has the same prob but it works now. But via another astuce (it hard)
yeah i did that mistake of trying to switch from RUI 4 to RUI 2 lol. Now i have a hardbricked phone. There is the F.06 firmware that i could possibly flash with QPST since the phone is only accesible from EDL but 19GB maann. Probably my best bet is to act stupid tommorow. Lesson learned, hopefully others dont do this silly mistake
