Hello,
Since BQ shut down the JSON request service in October 2020, there have been no valid free alternatives in order to recover bricked devices with locked bootloader... and there certainly won't be any more from BQ (the bankruptcy procedure of Mundo Reader S.L. - BQ started in Spain at the beginning of February).
For this reason I've released a special emergency package + related instructions, that I have put together and tested over the past few weeks.

Stage A - Emergency Package - First Boot

Stage B - IMEI / Baseband NVRAM checks & fix
...
The unbrick process requires:
1 compulsory stage ( A = Unbrick Flash )
1 additional stage ( B = IMEI / baseband fix ), which is only required if there are IMEI and/or SIM issues after the unbrick
Note: Please keep in mind that this is NOT a trivial 5 minute process. Anyone who owns a bricked X2 / X2 PRO device must read / follow the instructions carefully and spend around 1-2 hours to fully recover his device.
---------------------
Side Note : Such Emergency Package and related A-B instructions have been assembled & tested to use them ONLY with BQ Aquaris X2 - BQ Aquaris X2 PRO - Vsmart Active 1, that were running vendor-official firmware builds or conventional-unofficial releases (LineageOS, Ubports, etc.).
It is NOT technically compatible with the same HW models, that have been tampered instead to use a so-called "secure" firmware... = if this is your situation, please read the spoiler.
Spoiler: Side Note
Side Note : There are mainly non-technical reasons why, even after Europol dismantled Encrochat network on June 2020, no users with such tampered devices are finding any helpful wipe/flash-instructions in the public domain.
Indeed, the advices for the second/new owners of such (no longer working) devices haven't changed at all.
According to their specific scenarios/behaviours, it's up to them to choose from the following available options :
Try to return the device to the seller & get the money back
.
Contact the Police and provide the device & any information about the seller
.
Disassemble the device & resell the parts (all except the motherboard) as second-hand spare parts
.
Replace the motherboard with a (new or used) compatible one
wow thanks to you and the people that work on that guide !
is it suppose to work on old encrochat phone? cause i get this error with every firehose file.

Thanks, good job.
I have a BQ Aquaris X5 Plus (gohan) in the same situation, bricked and locked bootloader.
I have stock ROM (2.7.0_20181002-1711-gohan-user-684-Fastboot-FW.zip) and BQ Firmware Flash Tool 5.0, but I don't have the JSON file to unlock it.
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port is present, I could follow the instructions in this post, I can get most of the content of "EMERGENCY_PACKAGE" from the stock ROM, I only need the files for QFIL (firehose, RawProgram and Patch). I have searched long without result.
I would appreciate help.

The partitions you find inside the BQ fastboot firmware packages aren't enough to make full emergency/rescue packages. Several reserved partitions are missing indeed.
You can try to make a partial QFIL/EDL package... but keep in mind that such partial packages can't solve in most cases of BQ bricked devices with locked bootloader.
So, as for any BQ device with Qualcomm SOC, if you need/want to make a full QFIL/EDL package for Aquaris X5 Plus (gohan), you'll need anyway another working X5 Plus, in order to extract :
A full EDL dump of EMMC storage partitions, that will allow you to get those missing reserved partitions too
.
A QCN backup, that can be edited & used to restore/fix baseband + IMEIs of your KO device
Programmer & patch / rawprogram files for X5 Plus aren't so hard to find. Through a Google search - such as for instance this one - you can easily find the related references on Spanish and German forums.
Side note: this thread is only for messages / information exchange about the emergency package for BQ Aquaris X2 - X2 PRO & Vsmart Active 1 too (since such phone is just a rebranded X2 PRO without NFC hardware).
For any further & specific discussion/message about X5 Plus, you'd better post a new thread.

Hi, i have the Aquaris X2 but i think it is in a worse state than just bricked. The phone looks like this and can take pictures and check the time. Unrecognizable by the pc and QFIL, unable to install drivers, unable to do anything. This are all the apps the phone has. Wonder if it is even possible to fix it.

Had you success recovered your phone? I have an Aquaris X2 with the totally same problem.
Tried @RawMain 's solution but failed during load partition process. I knew it's because I have no correct programmer file, but don't know how to solve it.

Many thanks for your efforts, it's really clear and detail to do the job.
But... I can't unbrick my X2 cause loading partition error. One friend posted his problem as this in another thread (about load partition error,). Though you provided 4 programmer files, where could I download more to try? Or if we can full re-write all firmwares in this phone? Such as remove all partitions and re-build/re-write them?
(I had join the TG group and not found more information...)

Hello @Bushi1312 & @Pokers Lin
The situation of both your tampered devices is just the same as in post 3 of this thread = read the side note and related spoiler.
I have now included such note in the opening post too.

Thanks for your answer... so, you mean that my X2 had been installed as a "secured firmware" (named "encrochat"?) ? It's a bad news for me. Anyway, thank you very much, at least I can know why it's so hard to be fix now.

to fix what ?
do install the emergency firmware and unlock the firmware with ''fastboot flashing unlock''
then re install your genuine firmware with the emergency mode.
as simple as that

Dear Denizens of XDA!
I've finally fixed my phone upon giving up hope a few months ago. In short points, here is my story:
Installed Freedom.apk (by-pass in-app purchases)
Updated to the latest firmware without removing apk
Could no longer connect to official Google servers (ie playstore, gmail) BUT internet worked
Went to LG for quote on fix, stated that I need to replace motherboard ($250)
Gave up for months until TODAY.
Disclaimers:
I did not develop any of these programs but merely stumbled upon them. I do hope that this solution works for you but I cannot guarantee anything.
Do these at your OWN risk. I cannot and will not be held liable for any further damages caused by following my steps.
My phone:
LG G3 D855K from Telstra August 2014.
(crappy) 2GB ram, 16GB storage model.

[Link 3] http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares-country.php?country=Australia
I'll give special thanks to these people; I did NOT receive any consult or speak to them but they have provided the tools in which I used to fix my LG G3 which would no longer connect to the Playstore and other important Google services. Many thanks to:
- quangnhut123 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2181463)
- http://ro.linkedin.com/in/ipetcu/ (website: DEVTESTER.RO)
'How I did it':
1 - Download and install the LG USB drivers from [Link 1]
2 - Download and extract [Link 2]
3 - Download your relevant LG G3 Firmware from [Link 3]! Type in your IMEI code to find the exact software/firmware that you require.
4 - Copy the downloaded .kdz file (should be ~1GB) into the same folder as the [Link 2].
5 - https://www.dropbox.com/s/19z8yubtt9qldrh/Steps_part1.PNG
6 - https://www.dropbox.com/s/vjdhthyhne50w0t/Steps_part2.PNG
7 - https://www.dropbox.com/s/1f9rkqq32pxncgv/Steps_part3.PNG
7.5 - Please note that the language settings are not necessary. I've simply set it to English so I could read the messages/notifications.
8 - LG Software will pop-up again and let it do its own thing.
9 - An error message of Server couldn't be connected or something of the like will appear. Do NOT press exit.
10 - Look at your phone and you'll see that the firmware updating logo/downloading.
11 - Once your phone reaches 100%, the program on the computer may freeze and be required to be shut down. (This is okay once it's complete).
12 - Allow your phone to reboot, this may take 5-10 minutes.
13 - You'll get the applications being optimized.
14 - Just before you press start the phone may reboot, that's fine as well.
15 - Enjoy!
If you have any issues with the actual flash tool software, please check the 64-page thread AND use the search bar.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
Unfortunately, I did not expect this to work for me so I do not have any video footage of me actually attempting this procedure.
If you have any other questions or queries please do leave a comment below. I am not an avid user of XDA but will try and respond when I can do so.
Worked? Thank me? (Sorry if I'm optimistic!)
The only thanks I would like to receive if this works is if you can download the firmware from [Link 3], keep a backup, and re-upload it somewhere to share with other users in need.
If you do decide to re-upload, please do keep the details of the firmware.
I hope that this solution does work for you.
And one final reminder that if you do copy what I did, you proceed to do so at your own risk.
Good luck.
I know this is a couple of months old but wanted to say thanks for posting this - had a G3 stuck on the firmware update screen, couldn't boot into download mode etc... Took a while searching and installing about 26 different flash tools but finally this method worked. Cheers!

And I know I'm pretty late to reply but I'm glad it helped you as well.
I did the same thing as you and took me a while of researching to find a solution. Albeit I've now jumped ships and no longer own the LG G3.
Good luck for the future

I discovered that this site (LG Mobile) is, in fact, not responding properly to the browser file request ... but the files are there.
I used Xtreme Download Manager to download it. Just manually input the desired file link ... and it'll do its magic!
Update-
Please flash the OEMINFO and Custom bin from - https://mega.nz/#!qYtlzawK!Ab86GUO40JpUZ8scGnaIszhA-3gf6bN4NdfuHb8IeBU via TWRP
and then flash the B340 update.app file from download section via dload method. if you face any issue, follow entire guide for other way of doing this.
Initial credits to @uditshah for his guide and @sanjay.rup in sorting my issues at start itself while I was not sure whether to go or not and giving me correct oeminfo file. and all fellow members, and few to name @gopinaidu77 @adriansticoid @RedSkull23 who always helped/supported and encouraged me.
This guide will work 100% if followed correctly. This was tested myself couple of nights back and I successfully debranded or rebranded, as few say, to BLN-L22 from BLN-AL10.
Old version - BLN-AL10C00B379
New version- BLN-L22C675C340
Hi Folks,
Saw many post earlier on MM for debranding to other variant, especially from China variant to EU or Indian version and few of the worked FF but not for all. It never worked for Nougat and we all were struggling, at least to debrand China variant. So in this post, we will mainly focus on EMUI 5.0 or Nougat version for debranding. Few days back, a guide was posted which was very good and helped me to debrand mine. Yes, I faced few issues while following it and for once I was stuck with
Phone Locked
FRP Locked.
That was the moment I though It will never come up but yeah there was a hope as I never saw FRP on my Chinese variant and it all started from there and in this I will share the, almost full proof, detailed steps to debrand.
Prerequisites-
Have a full TWRP backup on your current model and store on PC/SD card.
Files for the new model (BLN-L22 variant)
Memory card with at least 8 GB space.
Firmware finder tool to get the files (preferable on PC)
Huawei multi tool
Working PC and of course, Honor 6X
Most important- PATIENCE. Do not panic. It will take max 2 hours including downloads, backup, restore, flash etc. (may vary depend on your download speed)
Shall we start? Let’s go further and do it now.
Downloads-
OEMINFO -https://mega.nz/#!eBECSYKZ!rte1IxPYuw3Y0NVcySOFy23tXWXoR6vBBo46iJ6JlEw
Main update.zip B340 version - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1190/g79/v94286/f1/full/update.zip
Data file for B340 (This is required for putting updater app and other stuff on phone or you won’t get updater)-
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...el_in/update_data_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip
Huawei Multi Tool- https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads (Version V7 zip)
Firmware Finder app on PC – this is not required as I have given the link above. You can still download it for future usage- http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/huawei-firmware-finder/ (download for PC) or direct link- http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/GetLatestVersion.action
Steps-
Unlocking bootloader/rooting and MT tool instalaltion-
Unlock your bootloader, flash custom recovery and root it with this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/root-huawei-honor-6x-install-twrp-t3671822
Backup backup backup your current phone in TWRP.
Installation of Tool installation and backing up current OEM Info file-
Download Huawei Multi Tool from this XDA thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923 , direct download link https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads select V7 zip, extract it and go to the folder.
Run by double clicking the bat file as below
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once the tool is running you will see the device connected as below (It will show your phone’s serial number) – Note: (I have not connected my device here, as I dindt was to flash the file again, so it wont show any device ID and just a random data)
Follow step by step images below to backup your current oeminfo file (path of the backup is the folder where you ran the bat file above\backup) in my case it was C:\Users\Downloads\Compressed\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v7\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT\Backup
Changing vendor/country- input 7
Selecting device- input 6X or 6x
Save or restore OEMINFO - input 1
Saving OEMINFO- input 1
Confirmation screen for saving the OEM INFO File.
Just make a copy of this file to some other folder, as same folder will be used for a new oeminfo file for new model.
Till now, we have just backed up ourselves so that in case we run into a situation where unbale to boot further or stuck, this will be handy to restore.
Let’s proceed with actual rebranding now.
Extract the Main zip file, you will get 4 files as below, copy all of them to SD card/ External memory card under “dload” folder.
Extract the Data file zip, you will get 5 files as below, copy all of them to SD card/ External memory card under “dload-data” folder.
Rename the downloaded oeminfo file to oeminfo: oeminfo-BLN-L22C675B340.zip -->> oeminfo.zip
Copy the OEFMINFO file for new variant (BLN-L22) to backup folder of Multi tool where you backed up the original oeminfo of your original model. (above path - C:\Users\Downloads\Compressed\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v7\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT\Backup)
Run the Huawei multi tool again same as above but this time, instead of backup of oeminfo, it will be option 2 to restore the file.
It should show the progress and confirm the download/restore complete. If this is failed, PELASE DO NOT PROCEED FURTHER and ask in comment section below.
Once OEMINFO restore is successful, you have the oeminfo of new version flash on your model.
Now reboot to fastboot, you will most probably see below status (don’t panic that’s normal now)
Phone- LOCKED
FRP- LOCKED
Remove the USB and Power off the phone by pressing power key now.
Use dload method now i.e. press Volume up + Volume down+ Power key together. Stock recovery should start flashing the files (Note- Do not just put the Update.app in dload and need all 4 files mentioned above)
Phone will verify the package and start installation. It will take only couple of minutes for 100% flash and phone will reboot.
Phone will boot but most probably give you the black screen only, for few minutes. Just waif for 3-4 minutes. (as mentioned, do not panic here as well)
Press power key to turn off the phone.
Take out the memory card and delete dload folder or rename to “dload-main”.
Rename the folder “dload-data” to dload.
Insert the SD card.
Use dload method now i.e. press Volume up + Volume down+ Power key together. Stock recovery should start flashing the files (Note- Do not just put the Update.app in dload and need all 5 files mentioned above)
This will take 30-40 seconds maximum to flash.
Once this is flashed, phone will reboot and ask you to set up the phone.
Unlike the China variant or other which may or may not ask for Google account setup, this may ask but you can skip it by skipping the Wi-Fi connection and removing the sim card so that no data is there to connect.
Follow the on screen instruction and Setup the phone.
BINGO. You are on BLN-L22 now and it will support Jio VOLTE and other stuff that other Honor 6X phones has for BLN-L22 (you are no longer other BLL, BLN model anymore and on BLN-L22)
This took me exactly 207 minutes to compile this guide and then 15-20 minutes in drafting on XDA, after I personally faced many issues but as mentioned, do not panic and proceed step by step and you would achieve what you wished for. Comment below on your experience and share if any modification is needed to the guide, I will do, but as per my knowledge, this is what I could prepare best for any NOOB user who doesn’t even know what root or anything is.
Share your thoughts on guide and ask any question when you stuck.
Note-
This was tested from BLN-AL10 to BLN-L22
This may work from any model/variant to BLN-L22 (most probably without any issues)
This should work for all BLL models as well, because there are no restriction on Hardware part.
Good luck and enjoy.

Yes you can. BLN and BLL is just a model name given by Huawei to region specific but no software or hardware changes.
So have you tried installing a custom ROM again?

Hehe yes it should work for sure unless we are unlucky.
I don't have experience on debranding, but if once i'll ever need to do it, here is where i'll surely come. The guide is done very well: listed on steps like you did with the help of detailed images, makes practically impossibile to make errors even to the best noob on earth, making it as you said 100% working so. Excellent work mate, respect!

Hello everybody.
I have a problem. I had a bootloop on my Blackview BV9000 Pro F so I had to reset the phone. But I wanted to backup my data with some tools, so I have to root this phone, to get to the deleted contacts.
My problem now is, that I can not root the phone. There are several pages, they found a solution (in this forum too), but every link is a dead link or the images aren't compatible with my phone.
What did I do, till now:
I ask for the newest ROM by Blackview - they didn't give me an answer or even post my question to their forum (maybe, because they're in holiday???)
I did unlock the phone, but can not find the right version of twrp for my phone. (Links are dead or not the right version)
Download and started the SP Flash Tool
Understand a little bit, how the partitions on the phone are made.
What do I have:
Phone: Blackview BV9000 Pro F
Buildnumber: BV_BV9000PRO_F_V0.7_20190321
Adroid Version: 8.0.0
I want to undelete my data, as far as possible. So I need help to root it.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Greetings from germany,

Company closed, because of Corona Virus?
Does someone know, if they closed because of the Corona Virus?
I asked some questions and posted some messages on their forum … but nothing happens … I got no answer or can see any post of me.
Greetings
Kal
PS.: No, everything is OK - they posted something else on the website … I have to wait …
The new ROM is online …
Hello again … it is finaly online, the right ROM for this phone (http://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?f=213&t=341480). Now I have a question on how to make TWRP "compatible" with this.
Or try it in this way:
What do I need for drivers and so on, to make a boot partition, to flash TWRP on my phone.
Can someone do it or explain, how to do it?
Greetings,
Kal
Someone told me as the old bootloader unlock doesn't work I need to update from my zui 2.5.104 st(india) to zui 3.5 china qpst to unlock the bootloader.
How to update using qfil tool. Please help!!!
follow this guide
It's about 2 years ago that I did that, so excuse my uncertainty what actually worked - i still hope to point you in a good direction.
Valid for: Zuk Z2 Plus (Z2131)
Three Tutorials
- not sure which one I used, possible a combo
1) You can possibly follow this Video Tutorial on Youtube: v=NB61a8N1TTw

2) Another Video Tutorial:

3) Another tutorial that might help: look for step-by-step-how-to-flash-stock-zui-rom-firmware-for-zuk-z2-z2131/ on tarantulo.lt

Possible Firmware Source
Possible source for the stock firmware: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/zuk-z2-plus-official-oreo-zuk-3-5-t3719361 (make sure that it is the qpst version)
Connect your phone to your PC in EDL mode:
My phone was bricked. To get it to connect via the correct port i followed this video tutorial using aluminum foil - and it worked!
(I couldn't get any of the key combos to work - and due to the brick state also couldn't use any of the ADB or fastboot commands.)

Possible QFil Errors
During the QFil flash using MiFlash I had an "sahara" and "hello packet" error. Not exactly sure anymore what was the correct solution after all, i just played around with placing the file on the desktop in different spots: directly under C:\zuk or on ~\Desktop\Zuk - just try different spots.
Switch Stock ZUi to English
After getting the stock version running again it was all in Chinese, follow this Video to set it to English:

I ruined my phone
It is difficult to explain what happened. It was quite irresponsible of me. I didn’t research it properly before wiping my phone. Now my zuk folders are not showing up on my pc, and I can't format it using TWRP. I was on a Custom Rom with Android...

1/For unlock bootloader
If you dont sure normal method work or not, use mtk client on github.
This link the one i take from Indonesia Begonia Telegram note (you can come their and check), you can use translate and unlock bootloader instant. This one is created based on mtk client github. Use translate and do it or just need follow screenshot.
UBL HARAM...
Requirements : • pc/laptop (rekomendasi yang 64 bit) • windows 10/11 (8/8.1 kemungkinan bisa tapi not tested) *windows 10 ghost spectre superlite juga bisa sudah tested dan untuk windows 7 kurang tau di coba saja. • koneksi internet • doa dan mental yang kuat‼️‼️ Bahan : • Phyton...
telegra.ph
Many tested
2/ Hard brick
You can unbrick hard brick with that MCT Tool and sp flash tool. Many did so dont worry much. If any error, come to begonia Global Telegram (because i stay here) or some other group and get help.
3/ Format Nvram
Only chose "Download only" in SP flash tool
Chose Format and you will lose your IMEI and your NVram as you said
4/ Change Imei
Someone made videos about this, usually one IMEI 2 will work and IMEI 1 gone. You can backup your IMEI first and try.

@AnkitKumarInXDA Welcome to XDA! Please note that changing/editing of IMEI is illegal in many countries around the world. Due to this reason, XDA doesn't allow discussions about or support for such a change/edit. As per Rule 9 of the Forum Rules:

Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either.
