Hello, friends.
Can you test something on your devices?
I am sure that using "adb reboot oem-2" or "adb reboot emergency" you can put phone into qdload mode (05c6:9008).
But I examined source code and I see that you can do "adb reboot oem-3" or "adb reboot diag" and put your phone into qualcomm diagnostic mode (05c6:9006) and this appear on PC as "Qualcomm MMC Storage". This is exactly that I want to do with my bricked Kindle Fire HDX (thor). At this moment I can boot only in 9008. Assuming similar architecture, if I right and you can put device straight to "diag" we could generate original partition.xml to continue my debricking work. btw if it is works you , guys, can root fire phone with any firmware with dd'ing prerooted system.
Exit from diagmode exec by loooooong pressing power button.
Thank you.
Please do not do anything if you're not power user!!!
Do not format any drives - you can hardbrick your device if it works! Just check!
Thanks, will try it tomorrow!
with "adb reboot oem-3"
it boots to bootmode 1
like normal fasboot
no flashing
FAILED (remote: boot not allowed for locked hw)
same for reboot diag
with "adb reboot oem-2"
i get Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
But no access with fastboot trying
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot boot.img
edit
adb oem-2 puts it in download mode
playing around with Qualcom QPST tells me
phone in dowload mode
That is just an analogue "adb reboot bootloader"?
Very strange. Too bad. Ok, thanks anyway. I think the topic can be closed.
adb oem-2
Gives me qcom download mode not fastboot mode.
Screen is compled black and device is Detected as
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
I see. I know this mode very good. But at this moment it totally useless. I thought that oem-3 might help, I hoped that this will turn device into qualcomm diagnostic.
Though get a such gift from Amazon would be too unbelievable )
I've bricked my Fire Phone, now it's only going to Qualcomm 9008 EDL Mode.
I need a QCN Backup from a working Fire Phone now
How can I make full dump (.qcn) from a working Fire Phone ?
adb reboot oem-2
Boots into Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode
Backup in QFIL not available
QPST -> Phone state: Download
QPST Software Download -> Backup -> Port does not contain a Phone Diagnostics Mode
adb reboot oem-3
Boots into an Amazon Bootloader [Fastboot]
recognized as Lenovo ADB Device in Device Manager
What happened was that I tried to update via Mi Suite
Everything completed nicely but it just wont boot at all
Is there anyway to wipe data without waiting for the unlocking procedure from xiaomi?
There's no recovery menu apparently
Edit: Managed to solved it by booting into EDL mode
How did you boot it in EDL mode? Just curious... I've tried couple of methods but it wouldn't enter EDL.

Power off or restart
press both vol+ and vol-
insert usb while pressing
should viberate at this point
then it should request to install qualcomm drivers
with the current setup of Max, you cannot boot into EDL from adb? or maybe you are doing it wrong.
what i did was to boot on fastboot mode, then issue the command
Code:
reboot oem edl
the command is different for Mi Max.
I have exactly the same problem. But I'm not experienced on Fastboot, as my second phone is a S3 which is way easier to unlock.
Could you describe in more detail how you have accessed the EDL mode? The only thing I can use is "The Fastboot-Bunny" which does not help at all.
When I use the Vol+/- method my screen stays black and my phone connects to the pc. But how did you continue now?
Could you provide a link to the software?
Thank you very much in advance.
(Can not use my phone since update, exactly the same situation...)
When I do as you told, my phone shows a black screen. I don't know whether the phone is really on or off. I hear the "connect-sound" of windows, it seems to be connected as I can see it as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM10),
but what do I have to do now??

If you see Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM10), run Mi Flash and flash the ROM again.
MiFlash won't work due to locked bootloader. I already tried it. Flashing Rom with MiSuite does not help too.
Ooopps no way you can do it yourself. The only chance is the unlocked bootloader. From there you can install twrp then supersu(newer super su fixes the boot for my case)
We have the same problem. But mine is unlocked bootloader.
What i did is boot to fastboot. Flash the rom with miflash. Then i turned it off because its still useless if i wait it still stock at mi logo so i boot fastboot again and flash twrp. from there adb i reboot to twrp then flash supersu. I wait like 10 mins only and yes it boot to normal
You can install TWRP on it follow this guide even if the bootloader is locked:

MiFlash can work both in FastBoot or EDL modes. In FastBoot mode, locked bootloader prevents FastBoot server to execute "flash" command. But in EDL mode, MiFlash works with any bootloader state.
Anyone can help me?
My phone was dead, no fastboot no edl mode. My pc just show me hs-usb diagnostic 900e instead of the qloader.
Maybe any solution please
did you tried test point ?

So in EDL mode with a locked bootloader will it unlock the bootloader? I am confused abt whether this is the case if I choose "delete all" which will prob incl data & bootloader.
It also seems in fastboot mode, mi flash can only work with unlock bootloader. Any reasons why unlocking is required?

I got a lenovo vibe shot z90-7 which was using Android 5.1. I found an upgrade rom on needrom to 6.0. I flashed it using qfil (qualcomm flashing tool) and it went all right, all functional. But I also wanted to unlock the bootloader and install a twrp (I found a procedure and twrp image on a russian forum). I followed the steps but it didn't work, I still wasn't able to unlock the bootloader. Thus, I was not able to enter fastboot anymore: from adb I was typing "adb reboot bootloader" and the device would reboot normally, not in fastboot mode. I decided to change to another rom (from needrom) which was claiming would allow you to unlock the bootloader. So, without hesitation I flashed it in qfil (edl mode) and it went all right, but I got stuck in boot loop. After the splash screen, the device shuts the screen off and does a long vibration and stays like that. If I connect it via usb to my pc I get a some "need to format drive" alerts, and in qfil I see "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostic 9006 (COM5)". If then I try to flash the rom I get this log:

It's seems like I need to get in Edl mode first, but I cannot use adb and pushing vol+ and plug the usb at the same time (or a little bit first one or the other, I tried all) does't do anything but booting the device normally.
I also tried getting in fastboot mode (keep vol- and power button) but it doesn't work.
I read of an "engineering mode" by keeping vol- on boot. It does something, the screen becomes black, but it's on. On my pc the adb driver comes in in the popup, like if I'm in fastboot or adb, but on "fastboot devices" I can't see anything, while on "adb devices" I see a device, which is "? unauthorized". Strange to me, I can't do much with it since it's unauthorized and the screen on the device remains black. And after a few seconds (about 30) it gets back to long vibration and screen off state.
I can get into the stock recovery by holding vol+, vol- and power, but it's a very poor recovery. All I can do is reboot, shut down, wipe data and update. I tried to use "update" and put a zip file of an official rom downloaded into the sd card and named "update.zip" as suggested by the recovery, but I get an error (with no technical information about what kind of error), so no luck with that either.
I tried to force the qualcomm driver from "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostic 9006 (COM5)" to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)", then tried to flash using qfil, but I still get an error, even if this time is different:

I finally tried to download the rom in .qsb format and get in engineering mode again, but the screen remains black and no sign of flashing possibilities.
Please help, I tried everything it came to my mind.

Thank you
Hello, did you solve the problem? i have the same as you....
regards
Hi guys.
I had the similar problem few moths ago. I tried to remember what i've done to fix it, but I don't remember all things, I hope this steps helps to find the solution.
Check this:
-Use Windows 7 (I tried with Windows 10 and always appears some errors)
-Use original miniUSB cable or good quality cables
-Install Lenovo Usb drivers
Turn ON phone and press Vol+ and Vol-, hold 3 seconds
If you cant enter Recovery mode (because is corrupt or bricked), phone will vibrate for 1-2 seconds and screen keep black. Now connect USB cable (check drivers, also if Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 was installed)
Once you done, use QSFL or MiFlash (but not 2016 version!, never works to flash)
NOTE: I had some problems with my desktop computer with Windows 7 but no problem in laptop. So check it in more than one...
Good luck.
How I fixed this
I fixed it installing a update.zip via recovery (vol + plus vol - plus power) I found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/vibe-shot-6-0-update-root-xposed-t3409989
This not fixed the phone , but allowed me to unlock bootloader entering in fastboot mode (vol + plus vol - plus plug usb) using this
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/18149-lenovo-vibe-shot-разблокировка-bootloader/
Then I was allowed to install TWRP as explained here
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/18150-lenovo-vibe-shot-расширенное-рекавери-twrp-by-sevenmaxs/
Then I was able to go to TWRP terminal and type
reboot edl
Phone went into downloader mode and I was able to install this rom with QFIL
http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-vibe-shot-android-6-0-1-1625-encn-unlocked/
and I restored NVRAM with a qcn file I found in Ebay after putting the phone in diagnostics mode. Then I changed imeid, meid and esn to the original ones I found in the box. Phone fixed.
Just note that this file was for a Z90-7 rom and it will not work with a Z40a20 rom.
Hope this helps someone.

Hi, did you slove the problem? Same situation with me. But I managed to install twrp ( Chinese) but I can't install any rom .. After successful flashing it reboot with lenovo logo, then long vibrates.. When I connect it to PC. It show number of partition and need to format popup.. I tried different ROMs.. All via twrp. I don't use miflash or qfil.. If you have solved it please share how. Thanks.
i know how to enter in edl mode in z90-7 or z90a40
Hello
This is nisar I successfully entered in edl mode and flashed rom to know the procedure pm me on +919743392420 WhatsApp
Bricked Vibe Shot - multiple partitions in device manager - no edl
having read all the above I'd like to share small info once again, it is all about correct qualcomm drivers, you can get them from androidurdu.net, do not search on the site but click on mobile drivers then scroll down and download qualcomm usb drivers.zip . unpack and use "checked" folder within the zip, they are signed and work on any windows including 10th. You see, your brick might be having an edl times, but PC doesn't know without proper drivers installed. You might want to remove all earlier/bad driver versions, for example try sigverif command or just install below qualcomm drivers and try away.
1. connect phone with good usb cable, 2. press power button till it shuts, then release power button and press volume up and down same time and phone will enter edl mode itself almost instantly, if you had twrp installed then it'll enter there, if so run from terminal "reboot edl"; keep device manager open and comm tree will appear along.
other way is via adb reboot edl command, if fastboot doesn't work, or fastboot reboot-edl
on miflash when refreshed you see the short port name and the number like com4 or 3. now it's time to flash, but the last proven flash I did with QiFL, Miflash works as fine.
i used latest international marshmallow version. after first boot, within dev mode unlocked oem + enabled adb and connected to PC with phone turned on in order to accept handshake prompt.
unlocking bootloader is easy via adb command: adb reboot bootloader, then: adb bootloader unlock-go .
all files are available online via some russian speaking forum, you just need to install twrp, then place su.zip onto phone (I copied on internal memory), boot into twrp and flash; if clean - no errors flash then you got neatly rooted marshmallow phone.
my struggle with bricked vibe shot was worth it. earlier I noticed cpu was running high, all cores all the time. also many google apps which I wanted to eliminate for draining the battery and uploading stuff all the time.
right after flashing su.zip boot into phone and install kernel adiutor from play store, then take control of how your 8 cores behave. I discovered the minimums were set at 800+Mhz so I dropped them to 200, then below within cpu section enabled all "disabled" options for boost + enabled "ondemand" + plus few more. You got to understand the process and enjoy tuning your phone your way.
I've charged my vibe shot 3 hours ago and was randomly chatting on whatsap until now and I have 73% battery. Day before yesterday before the bricking, full charge would not last more than 3 hours, incredible battery performance thanks to "adiutor" .
One more important thing, use correct rom version for your phone because of advanced camera and specific drivers camera won't work well.
Names of files used to make my phone a super hero:
1. adb-setup-1.4.2.exe
2. Miflash_140509.exe
3. Qualcomm_USB_Drivers.7z via androidurdu.net
4. TWRP-3.0.2.0_Z90a40_by_SevenMaxs.rar - has .bat files inside; enter bootloader mode and shoot
5. UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-SYSTEMMODE-PRO.zip (I pay for my apps including supersu pro)
6. Z90a40_Android-L_unlock_7M.7z , or use command line via adb shell.
7. Z90a40_S363_160625_ROW_QPST.7z - latest intl Mashmallow Os , to make it more perfect download marshmallow google dialer - patched.apk.
8. QPST / QIFL , used to flash the above rom
I'm not a pro so small mistakes are acceptable, I hope.
ciao.

Sorry if it's reviving the thread but i found a way to unbrick the device from this state. Not sure if will work for all models because this one was a really weird one (almost all button combinations were different than any described on the internet). So my phone was from China (Z90-7 - later it showed that it's a Z90A40 and I had to flash that firmware) with a international chinese ROM and it god badly bricked (no edl, no lenovo recovery, locked bootloader etc. etc.). Now, when holding [vol+]+[vol-]+[pwr] (usually recovery mode according to the internet) it went into the Qualcomm 9006 diagnostics mode that shows a million partitions. There was no way i could get it into edl mode but there was the so called factory mode that is accessed by holding [vol-] and plugging in the usb before it vibrates. Through this I managed to flash firmware in .qsb format from a SD card and successfully unbricked the phone that I almost threw into the bin.
1. Check if your phone has "factory mode" [vol-]+[pwr] then release [pwr] or hold [vol-] while inserting usb cable.
- make sure to try different combinations, the button combinations on my phone were much different than what I mostly found on the internet

2. Download Vibe Shot firmware in .qsb format (Google it, the phone will warn you if it's not the right one (A40 or -7))
3. Copy the .qsb file into SD:/sdfuse
4. Insert the SD card into the phone (maybe a restart will be needed for it to be detected, you should see a message saying "DEV: External storage" when you select sd flash)
5. Select "SD update" and follow the instructions.
I hope this helps someone who can access the factory mode. This is so easy and I couldn't believe that there is so little information on flashing it this way.
Good luck.
i wonder how do you change HS-USB Qualcomm 9006 become HS-USB Qualcomm 9008?
Hi,
I was trying to flash Lineage OS on my Whyred, and installed non-ARB ROM over MiUi 10 and my device is now bricked.
I can see my phone in EDL mode, as I can see "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in the device manager.
I have also installed all the drivers from MiForum thread-784616-1-0. (I don't have right to post complete link)
Even after restart and power cycling the phone, my device does not show in MiFlash tool, and I get "Length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length" error. I have tried three different versions on MiFlash tool.
I am on Win10 64 bit
I have unlocked bootloader with TWRP installed before the brick happen.
EDIT:
I tried QFIL methods but it was unsuccessful.
Qfil tool detects the phone without issue, but flashing fails with the following error:
Code:
ERROR: Only nop and sig tag can be received before authentication.
1. none of the custom rom has ARB switched on! how did you brick your phone by flashing Linage??? I cannot understand
2. you cannot JUST go in to EDL mode with RN5pro since Xiaomi has removed the pressing volumes and power button 30 seconds to get in to edl mode! you have remove BACK PANEL of rn5p and short the testpoints with metal & plug the usb in with pc in order to ender edl mode!
3. even if you enter in edl more! miflash will ONLY flash if your MI account has been authorised from china!
now what exactly is your device state? can you reboot enter in fastboot mode?
fastboot roms cannot be placed in LONGGGG paramiters! put it in C drive and rename folders to smaller.. like C:\1 and put all the unzipped Tz files here to flash!
if you cannot flash by mi then you should consider Qualcom Qfil flasher! , RN5p is snapdragon device and can be flashed with QFIL!

1. none of the custom rom has ARB switched on! how did you brick your phone by flashing Linage??? I cannot understand
2. you cannot JUST go in to EDL mode with RN5pro since Xiaomi has removed the pressing volumes and power button 30 seconds to get in to edl mode! you have remove BACK PANEL of rn5p and short the testpoints with metal & plug the usb in with pc in order to ender edl mode!

I don't know how it got bricked AFTER installing Lineage OS.
Current situatiuon
1) Mi Flash tool does not list/detect my phone even though I am in EDL mode.
2) Qfil tool detects the phone without issue, but flashing fails with following error:
Code:
ERROR: Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication.
Did you try this method?

Yes, and the above error is after trying this method.
I flashed the 11.0.1 global boot image to my BE82CB to attempt root via these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...eplus-nord-with-magisk-and-temp-root.4340113/
Unfortunately, it bricked my device. It boots to a T-Mobile loading screen but feezes there.
I'd like to use the MSM for 10.5.8.BE82CB to unbrick this, but I can't enter EDL mode. These are the ways I've tried:
a) hold down vol up / down for 10 seconds - attach USB
a result) device boots to fastboot
b) fastboot reboot emergency
b result) device boots to fastboot
note: even just plugging in a charging USB boots the device to fastboot
Any ideas on how to get my phone into EDL mode, or did I kill it and permanently brick my phone?
let me help you here. if youre in fastboot you still have flashing access. do you remember your old version number?
I have exactly the same problem, after installing twrp I accidently formatted some partitions including system, and they aren't mounted, because of this I can't use edl and i can't decrypt data to get access to system partition. I can use only fastboot.
does fastboot reboot edl work? if not you might have to buy a deep flash cable off amazon to get it into edl, only about $10-15
You have to enter recovery mode and make windows look for the Qualcomm driver first. May take a few reboots of the phone in recover to trigger windows but you'll see optional link inwindows update when it does find something. Click and download the comm driver. mine was "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)" your COM may not be COM3.
Reboot PC and turn off phone.
Open the msm downloader and click start
hold UP and DOWN only - plug in phone -> phone will seem like nothing happens but you should see a COM pop up in the software
then continue with the download, it take some mins.
hope it helps some. I have N100 sprint/t-mobile
i can say that the software saved me for sure. it took me back to android 10 but im ok with it.
Possibly unrelated, I was testing different GSI images accidentally wiped system. wouldn't turn off just rebooted. I was able to get into EDL mode I just had to hold down volume up & down just after selecting power off in fastboot menu. maybe this will help, but no guarantee.

I had to use a cable, but it worked well. Make sure the drivers are installed before. It took a few tries and I had to rotate the cable, but it worked eventually. Install the drivers, reboot, make sure phone is off, plug in cable and press the button. Qualcomm should show up under ports in device manager and you should be all set.
