Hey guys, I just inherited a non-functioning gnex. The previous owner said the phone was working fine until it fell of a ledge whilst in a bag. There is no obvious physical damage to the phone chassis or screen.
When I try to power on the phone, it vibrates once but nothing further seems to happen and the screen stays black. Several minutes later though, it starts making some of the android system noises seemingly at a random. If I press either of the volume buttons, it makes the standard volume up or volume down ringer noise. But nothing else really happens other than a continuation of some of the system noises. Sometimes it seems to load a media file or a game once the phone has been powered on with the battery in. When connected to a windows machine, the device mounts and the contents of the phone are uncorrupted.
I've tried different combinations of the power buttons+volume rockers to get into recovery or fastboot, but so far no luck.
I've also tried the OMAP flash but can't get the computer to recognize the phone as a omap4460 for more than a couple of seconds. I've tried the Samsung drivers and the universal naked driver.
The only thing I haven't tried is ODIN (which I'm assuming won't work without being able to enter fastboot or recovery?), which might be last act of desperation before giving up. I'll update accordingly.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I think you have a damaged screen.
try to put phone in odin mode, pull battery out, reinsert it, press volume down with power button for 3 seconds, connect to pc, open odin, see if odin recognize your phone.
Yep it sound like everything is working except for screen. You can try to open it to disconnect and reconnect the screen: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Nexus+Teardown/7182/1 (not sure exactly how) if it doesn't work you can order a replacement screen (eBay or such) and do it yourself (expensive and not easy) or give it to a repair shop (expensive but easy).
Sounds like it's a damaged LCD, not cheap...
I'd buy it off you if its the vz nexus (For parts.)
Thanks guys, I suspect it's the screen also. I haven't gotten around to Odin yet but that will likely be my final attempt at trying to revive the phone.
If it is just screen damage though, would that prevent me from entering recovery mode?
I should've probably already mentioned that this the international version of the gnex (i9250m from Bell Canada), so no LTE.

I'd recommend fastboot. Same thing, less steps, though you will need adb...
(If its available for your model, if not odin would be your only choice. )
Odin has a few more steps...
Long story short you wouldn't know if the screen is dead sadly, with out a replacement, best of luck!
Any insight on how to get into ADB or fastboot? As stated in the OP, the power button combos don't work. Furthermore, I don't have a way of enabling debugging mode.
I still haven't tried Odin, I won't have access to a windows pc for a few more days. I'll update accordingly.
Getting into fastboot is very easy:
Turn off. Since you can't see anything pull battery and reinsert to make sure.
Press volume up, volume down and power at the same time for few seconds.
You feel a vibration like it does on every boot.
That's it, you are in fastboot mode.
To verify, plug into computer and type fastboot devices
If it writes something like this:
0149BD34ABCDABCD fastboot
then you are in fastboot mode.
If it doesn't work, check the drivers. Remember that you need to install the drivers once for every mode (in Windows). fastboot? drivers. MTP? drivers. ADB? drivers. ADB in custom recovery? drivers. Download mode? drivers. OMAPFlash? drivers again. And different modes have different drivers too.
Hi All,
This is my first post here - I hope this is the correct section.
My phone is totally standard and unmodified.
Last week my phone downloaded an OTA update, this installed fine and the phone worked for a few hours after, then whilst typing a SMS the phone seemed to crash and power off. It now doesn't respond to any of the buttons, won't enter recovery mode etc.
Things I've tried:
Battery out for extended time, back in - nothing
Plug into power - nothing
Plug into PC (windows 8.1) with battery in the phone - windows reports device not enabled/possibly malfunctioned.
Power + volume down - nothing
Hold volume while plugging into usb - nothing
Plug into PC without battery - phone appears as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in the COM section on device manager.
I've attempted guides on various posts on this forum; when using this post: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g3-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933853) I managed to access the files on the device, but was unable to re-write the stock files. I got an error for phone not in download mode.
I've also tried accessing via adb and fastboot; adb devices does show the device (with battery not in phone) but when i try adb reboot bootloader nothing happens and the phone disapears from adb devices.
Fastboot does not find the phone.
I'm wondering if it could possibly be a battery fault? Would the phone boot up while connected to power but no battery?
Any help very much apreciated!

Can you boot into download mode? Flash KDZ.
Can you do a hard reset? Reset to factory settings.
Do a Google search to find out how to enter download mode or perform a hard reset.
Please report back what happens or what fails.

I can't do a hard reset or enter download mode - the phone does not respond to any of the buttons.
When I try and turn it on I don't get any boot screen, LG logo etc which is common on most threads I've read so far.
Could it possibly be the battery? It seems strange that it connect to the PC without the battery, but not with it in the phone.
Thanks for your help so far.
Would the phone boot without a battery in whilst connected to USB or does it need a battery? I'm not sure if the battery is at fault.
So Here are the steps
1. My bootloader got unlocked.
2. I Installed factory preloader and lk images.
3. Rebooted to Fasboot and flashed TWRP 3.3.1-0924 by wzsx150 (the only Android 9 recovery that didn't get removed immediately after flashing and rebooting for 1st time to get to recovery).
4. Formatted Data, Closed AVB 2.0 and Signed TWRP.
5. Rebooted to Fastboot and flashed stock EEA Android 9 (11.0.3.0) from Global (11.0.6.0) and reflashed factory preloader and lk.
6. Rebooted to recovery, Formatted Data, Closed AVB 2.0 and Signed TWRP.
7. Using ADB sideload from Twrp Installed EEA Android 10 (11.0.2.0).
8. Rebooted into fastboot Installed Updated TWRP-3.3.1-1210 (by wzsx150).
9. Rebooted into fastboot and flashed misc.bin from same zip (according to bat file inside it should get flashed after recovery but I forgot.)
10. BRICKED. Booted to Redmi logo for 3 seconds and rebooted infinitely.
This type of brick in 4pda.ru according to google translate can be mitigated by letting battery drain and then enter DA download mode using SP Flash Tool.
I've Used the tool several time so I thought Okay no big deal.
So This is what I tried:
11. Pressed download button
12. Connected USB Cable to phone.
13. Device pauses a second (Probably for SP Flash Tool to respond) then doesn't enter DA (Unlike previous times) and screen brighten for a second or two but then turns off and repeats this process forever.
I've been using Drivers provided by Microsoft Update Catalogue but tried all the drivers on 'MTK Usb Driver v1.0.8' and 'Mediatek_Driver_Auto_Installer_1.1352.00' after disabling Driver Signature Enforcement. but even though drivers are installed they don't get loaded and after force installing them in add legacy drivers they are their but have yellow triangles and their Location lists as 'Unknown' and status as 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'. Tried Removing them after adding them as a site suggested but that didn't work either.
I learned the hard way to never mismatch partitions with this phone. I thought having the factory preloader and lk1/2 would protect me but no.
When you say brick, do you mean you have a completely black screen with only the notification LED turning on when you plug it in?
Grab a bootable Linux image and use that on a USB stick to eliminate the driver issue you're having. Interface is identical

So I tried Ubuntu. Problem isn't from Drivers. It's because my Windows or linux didn't ever got a chance to enter fastboot so they can load preload drivers properly.
In Windows, Mediatek USB Port is the only driver that get loaded, and that for only an instant then it disappears in Device Manager.
In Linux according to this Tutorial everything is fine but SP Flash Tool gives me a " ERROR : STATUS_ERR (-1073676287) , MSP ERROE CODE : 0x00. "
Based on this chinese site I should find my Vendor Id and Product Id specific to my system (or is it my chipset?) and then change some files but how do I get linux to recognize mediatek usb device first when It needs to enter fastboot for that to happen.
Is there any way to manually add it?
EDIT: So After some reading I realized that I have to get my phone to fastboot first to get the drivers recognized. In windows as far as I know there is no way for manually adding 'Location' to Drivers. what about Linux?
I think you're talking about a soft-brick and I'm talking about a hard-brick. If you can get to fastboot, it's a soft-brick.
Hold the volume down and power buttons simultaneously for 1min and see if your screen changes.
Don't worry about the Linux drivers, if your phone is in the correct mode, it'll work.
I don't think it's a Soft-Brick (unless Hard-Brick means even the display not turning up at all), Holding them for a minute with battery charged doesn't do anything. As soon as it boots back up it starts getting caught in Booting until Redmi logo and staying there for 2-3 seconds then reboots. I tried to hold Volume Down + Power for 3 minutes while caught in this bootloop but no fastboot. I'll retry when battery discharges again. first without usb cable attached then with.
Thanks for taking time to work this through with me. Nowadays with all service centers being closed it's really a nightmare to have something you need on internal storage and not being able to access it. First thing I'll do after this is to buy a 128GB SD card to store the important stuff.
By the way should I just use the Live Ubuntu or Install it to see if the problem is from being a live image.
When I hard bricked my phone, I didn't have anything but that white led when I plugged it in. If you have the redmi logo, should mean there is hope. I've only ever entered DA mode when I had a hard brick.
This might be one of those situations where letting the battery drop to 0% would allow you to access fastboot. MiFlash only works in fastboot and DA mode I believe. What happens when you hold volume up and power for a minute while plugged in to your computer? Run "ADB devices" to start the adb service first
I doubt it would make a difference live to installed, but it's your call if you have the time.
With Phone in Bootloop mode Holding Either Vl+ and Power or Vl- and Power doesn't make a difference.
With Phone Off and USB detached It's the same.
With USB attached Vol+ and Power for over 3 Mins result in Device Manger listing 'Mediatek USB Port' for as long as display remains 'dark but bright' (for 2-3 seconds then shuts down and turns itself back on). removing it when phone suddenly shuts down. when USB is detached phone remains shutdown.
With USB attached Vol- and Power for over 3 Mins result in Phone's Display Brightening for 5 seconds no device listing in Device Manager nor entering fastboot or being recognized by adb or fastboot (set on a permanent re-checking by a cmd script). then phone shuts itself down and back on.
LED situation:
With Vol+ and Power with USB attached LED when phone is Off is Fullbright. When Display Brightens It turns off.
With Vol- and Power with USB attached LED when Phone is Off Blinks Once Fullbright and then remains Semi-bright whether phone is on until shutdown and the Blinks Fullbright again.
I Live in Iran and with sanctions there is no way to pay anyone overseas. Unless they're willing to risk accepting cryptocurrencies from an Iranian , my only chance if I can't work it out is to wait till unofficial service centers here open.
Your phone only being detected for 5 seconds is supposed to happen. It checks for a signal from so flash and if it doesn't see it, drops off.
I'm not sure paying someone to remotely flash your phone will work if SP Flash isn't even trying or detecting your phone. With mine, it would detect and try to flash (red bar sitting at 100%) before throwing an error.
Try letting your battery die, if that doesn't work, maybe the test point mod will work. Otherwise, I think your only option is a service center.
Hey everyone!
So, I've got a HD1903, 8GB RAM 128GB ROM. I updated to OxygenOS 11.0.02, but it was still buggy as hell, so I decided to downgrade. I also had rooted the phone, and decided to get rid of that too. I went to the stock fastboot roms page, downloaded the 10.0.13 ROM and used 'flash-all.bat' file to clear everything. But halfway, it reboots, goes into recovery, then goes to Qualcomm Crashdump mode. That's it. No code or anything, just Qualcomm Crashdump mode, in Blue and Red letters. I tried to hold vol-up, vol-down and power to get into fastboot, but it just loads the fastboot splash screen, then goes back to the same qualcomm crashdump mode screen. Even if i try to hard reset it, by holding vol-up and power, it still goes to the same screen.
Anyone know what to do? I have no idea how to use the 'MSM tool' that everyone talks about, so any guiding advice would be great!
Thanks!
DM me here - https://www.facebook.com/prantor.khan.16 I'll help

I didn't install TWRP, this was all on stock recovery. I also cannot get into fastboot mode.
Msmtool does not need twrp or fastboot--just the software, rom image, drivers, and button combo pushes and holding
OK, so I got it working again, thanks to the advice of reddit users, discord users and the latest msm tool and some googling. I held the vol-up and vol-down buttons for 30 seconds, then connected it to the laptop, with msm running, to a usb 2.0 port, and pressed start. hey presto, it worked. Thanks guys!!

Hello
Using the MSM tool is very simple, you just have to download it from this link.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12y3lO0wIgb2_LSDeVw9x_2C_HjbgZlb_/view?usp=sharing
NOTE: only works on Windows PC
1. Unzip the contents of the RAR into a folder.
2. Run the MSM application
3. Click Start.
4. Connect the cell phone in EDL mode (volume up + down button)
5. Wait for the process to finish (it takes a long time, please be patient)
6. The phone will restart automatically and a message will appear informing you that the equipment is damaged (don't be careful).
Note: The phone should automatically boot into fastboot mode and display a menu, but if it doesn't and instead boots to the T-mobile screen, you need to force shutdown with the power button for several seconds and then manually start it in fastboot mode. (volume up + volume down + power button)
7. Now you need to unlock the bootloader with the command from a Windows CMD window, but you need to download this ADB tool first.
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
-Unzip the tool into a folder
-Open a Windows command window, in administrator mode and direct it to the path where you unzipped the ADB tool.
8- Execute this command while the cell phone is connected in Fastboot mode.
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
9- A question will appear on the phone in which you must allow the unlocking.
-With the volume keys select the option to allow it and press the power button.
-At this time your bootloader will be unlocked.
10. Copy the ADB tool files into the folder where ROM 10.0.13 is and replace everything.
11. With the phone connected to the PC, on the command line, run the flash-all.bat file
12. When the phone restarts and the yellow and white letters appear informing that the phone is not safe because the bootloader is unlocked, repeatedly press the (volume down) button until a menu in Chinese appears.
-PC will detect the phone again in fastboot mode and continue to flash
-Leave the phone and PC still until the process is finished.
-In the command line it will indicate that it cannot find files or partitions (ignore it)
13. Finally, the computer will restart automatically and you will be able to use it normally.
Notes:
1. If the phone after the flashing process with MSM starts up and shows the T-mobile logo, don't worry, just turn it off with the power button and connect it in fastboot mode.
2. Do not try to use it with the firmware that I install with MSM, as it will not work properly.
3. Before locking the bootloader again (if you plan to do so) first update via OTA, to the most recent version of Oxygen, otherwise the system will crash again and you will have to repeat the whole process.

Oh wow that was a long and well defined post. Thank you for taking the time to type it out.
As it happens, I fixed my issue already (IDK if there's a solved flair for XDA or something?). I downloaded the latest (10.0.15) MSM Tool from the XDA page, held the vol-up and vol-down for 30 seconds this time (as per advice from discord users) got the phone into edl mode, connected to a usb 2.0 port and let msm tool do it's thing. Everything is working perfectly now.
I've got the same problem but even with holding vol up+down buttons for 30 seconds I can't get into edl mode. It boots into qualcomm crashdump mode. I don't have fastboot working, I only see fastboot splash screen for a sec and then qualcomm crashdump mode appears. Could someone help?! As soon as usb cable is connected phone boots into qualcomm crashdump mode. no matter what I do.
Also do service centers undertake servicing for such phones which bricked because of badly flashed roms.

If they're going to just change the motherboard, I wonder what the EDL mode is meant for. Anyways, I won't go for motherboard change one can buy a new and better phone at that kinda price.
Anyways, I Fixed it through EDL method, you have to hold vol up and down simultaneously and immediately connect to windows (while still holding both buttons) via original USB cable. Check with Device manager if your device shows up, it's easy enough but you might have to keep trying to you get it right. Thereafter, disable driver verification in windows and if Sahara communications failed message appears in msm tool, turn off phone and repeat the procedure again.
The repair peeps only fix hardware and not software. It's more cost effective for them to swap out hardware faster than messing with msmtool like us

OK, so you won't get any confirmation that you're in EDL modem you just have to wing it. What I did, I first opened the MSM tool on my laptop, connected the USB side to the laptop at a USB 2.0 port, and kept the USB-C side within easy reach. I held the buttons down with one thumb for 30-35 seconds, and while still holding them down with one hand, i connected the cable to the phone and clicked enum in MSM, it showed connected so I let the buttons go, and it didn't restart. I clicked start, and it worked for me.

You don't have to hold buttons for that long, you can immediately connect it to PC. There is usually a sound to indicate that a new device has been connected to windows, you can also keep device manager open for confirmation. This video really helped.
After receiving a " qualcomm crash dump" , I was able to boot into recovery. Then I had done a factory reset.
Phone turns on fine, charges as well.
Although, On my Laptop / Desktop it does not see the phone within MSM, ASs well as ADB, Fastbootd or device manager.
I have the correct drivers downloaded.
Ideas ?

Tried both, my desktop would always connect, adb, fastboot, etc.
I had just just freshly installed oneplus drivers including qualcomm on my laptop. Device was not recognized before driver installation or after.
Figure id try on my Mac, and linux laptop. no dice.
ADB is enabled.
Here are the drivers that are installed on my PC ( I enabled hidden devices, in order to see them ) These were recognizing prior to " qualcomm crash dump" . Not phone will not even be seen
Hey all,
So i've unlocked by bootloader, flashed a custom recovery to then proceed with LineageOS flashing. However it went completely wrong as on reboot i'm stuck with the bootloader unlocked warning and then a blackscreen.
I still have access to fastboot mode however it's impossible to flash a customer recovery ("No Such Partition") and also impossible to directly "fastboot boot recovery.img" as the phone simply reboots on the warning and then blackscreen.
The only solution seems to get the device to qualcomm EDL mode and reflash all with the MSM tool (which I have as well as all the drivers) however I cannot get my Oneplus 9 pro to EDL mode...
I've tried all the fastboot commands (fastboot oem EDL, fastboot reboot EDL, none of them work) as well as the combination volume UP + volume DOWN + plugging the cable (it just boots the fastboot mode.
Honestly would greatly appreciate any help as it is the first time in a decade I hard bricked a phone like this as it seems all the partitions are broken.
Make sure you have it unplugged when you do the button combos, as it will just start to boot while it's plugged in. Also, if you can reach fastboot, you can almost definitely reach EDL. Try unplugging and holding power+vol up for a bit which forces it to completely power off. Then try getting into EDL through the normal button combo/plugging. This is what I had to do since once it got into the booting/no-booting cycle I couldn't get to EDL.
1] Make sure you have it connected directly to your computer via USB port rather than via a USB Hub, I've seen that cause the device not to show up in the device manager.
2] You might have to restart your computer with driver signing disabled, check here for instructions for that
3] I've uploaded the Qualcomm drivers here
4] Make sure you use POWER + VOL DOWN + VOL UP and watch your device manager to see if the device is there
5] Make sure you choose the correct MSM tool from here for your region/provider
6] Remember to use MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe, choose "User type : Others" and choose the correct device/region under the top "Target" dropdown.
7] If you don't see any COM device showing connected then try changing USB port or rebooting the device back into EDL mode.
Good advice above.
Last time I couldn't reach EDL with my previous phone, it turned out to be an issue with the drivers I had installed. I uninstalled all Android-related drivers including some generic thing that showed up in device manager when plugging in the phone, then reinstalled the latest Qualcomm drivers.
Also possibly try a different USB cable if you have one. My OP9P didn't show up when the cable it came with was plugged into my USB-C port for some reason, but it worked fine with a generic Type-A to C cable I had sitting around.
Thanks a lot for the different guidelines !
i'm 100% sure the drivers are working. I have another oneplus 9 pro that is detected when booted on EDL mode on the PC. The faulty one however cannot reach it. Also it cannot get any charge as whenever I plug it on it just goes on a boot loop. Tried to leave it to charge for a full night but still shows the "out of battery logo" with the red cable.
When plugged to the PC while pressing VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN I keep getting the windows sound of device plugged/unpluged, etc etc...
To be honest I think the flashing messed up the partitions as it is now hard to do anything with this device...

Can you help me too, I have exactly the same problem…
If you use Windows, you need to see "QDLOADER 9008" in Device Manager > Portable Devices.
When you got this it will work, 100% .
It worked for me a few days ago. My laptop runs on Windows 11 x64. And only have usb 3.0. NO usb 2.0.
was having the hardest time as well, it's not that the device wasn't going to EDL mode, it was but it had the wrong driver installed, thus making MSM tool not detect it in time, it is a very small window that you have where the device goes into EDL mode and the MSM tool detects it, makes a handshake with it and starts the process, but if you have the wrong driver, MSM tool will not detect the device and the device will just turn back into fastboot mode, I'm attaching a picture of the device manager where the said driver is under "Ports" ( COM & LTP ) make sure you download the above mentioned drivers, if there is any other driver under Ports, uninstall it and whenever you plug in your phone with the VOL + VOL - combo, you will see the device appear under PORTS, upgrade the currently installed driver for the one called qcmdm.inf which you'll find after you extract the .cab file that you downloaded previously, after that open MSM Tool and hit start, the port number should match the one on the device manager, now unplug the cable from your phone, power it off and do the button combination and then plug in the cable, MSM should instantly recognize the device and start the restoration.

Yeah make sure it's exactly the same name of that driver - worked for me on oneplus 9
If you have access to fastboot still. Try switching slots. Then going into EDL
For anyone looking for help, please DM me.

1] Make sure you have it connected directly to your computer via USB port rather than via a USB Hub, I've seen that cause the device not to show up in the device manager.
2] You might have to restart your computer with driver signing disabled, check here for instructions for that
3] I've uploaded the Qualcomm drivers here
4] Make sure you use POWER + VOL DOWN + VOL UP and watch your device manager to see if the device is there
5] Make sure you choose the correct MSM tool from here for your region/provider
6] Remember to use MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe, choose "User type : Others" and choose the correct device/region under the top "Target" dropdown.
7] If you don't see any COM device showing connected then try changing USB port or rebooting the device back into EDL mode.

Thanks a lot man. Saved my Day. First 9Pro successfully restored ;-) Thank you and merry Christmas to all.
Guys I do not need to use the MSM Tool Anywhere until I reach the step where my device is being successfully detected as "QDLOADER 9008" in my windows device manager correct?
Or does the MSM Application need to be running when I reboot to EDL mode?
I am following this guide.
Please help
I always have phone powered off, and while holding both volume keys I plug it into USB cord(that is already plugged to pc) and then click on enum(button in msm screen) until it says connected then hurry and click start. Once it starts I can let go of volume keys.. Also more than likely u will need to click the box to "use lite firehose" or "Sahara communicaion" will keep failing.
make sure you have oneplus 9 pro drivers and " qaulcomm incorporated - Ports" Driver) and ("qaulcomm communications inc-Net" Driver) so your phone in edl which will be already most likely be running before you plug it in. just hold down both volume buttons and plug in to the usb port to your pc and release once plugged in and start the msm tool and hit enum it should say connect provided that you have all the necessary drivers above so the pc usb port will be able to communicate/recognize you device. its never usually A 1 and done type of thing. everytime i brick my phone its always the 100th try before i get a com port connected and the software communicating successfully, so just be patient and take your time. you will get it back up and running,
Hey, I wanted to ask in here instead of starting a new thread.
Right now I have an OP9p that wont boot to EDL (Only fastboot or Corrupt page)
I tried the fastboot commands but it won't work and it won't shut down, I have fixed multiple phones using MSM and know all the small issues and how to get around them but it's the first time finding a device that won't shut down and will keep rebooting tried volume up + Power for several seconds tried holding only power or the three.
Nothing it keeps rebooting and won't shut down for me to get into EDL.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Well you have a corrupted boot.img or you would not be trying to edl. Also you probably are holding down multiple buttons to power off to your phone and your either not remembering or forgot that these combination of buttons are booting you into other modes fastboot, recovery or system.
