Soft-bricked oneplus two, getting Sahara error - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
I done messed up...
I can only boot into fastboot and when following almost every guide for un-bricking my phone I get a 'Sahara' error (can't link cause my acc is new).
Under Device Management the port is: QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics 9008
Every guide says it should be 9006 (excluding oneplus' guide).
Can someone help me?

did you find the solution? I've got into the same problem...

Please elaborate

NOTE: When the tool gives the "Sahara error", DON'T DISCONNECT THE PHONE from your PC, and press vol up and power button. It maybe seem stupid as a fix but generally it works.

Heavy Hard Brick Zuk Z1 international Version

HI everybody, I have a very big problem with my zuk. Trying to solve a problem about network, I thought to come back to stock via fastboot. But given that I was tired doing so many tries, I wrongly flash a zip file via fastboot instead of use adb, so the phone didn't turn on anymore. I must say first of all that it isn't my first phone, so I'm not a newbie. The real problem is: When I plug Zuk into my Pc( Windows 10) it isn't recognized as qhsusb_bulk ( It could be easy to solve the problem) but as "unknown usb device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". I try to plug the phone pressing every button like Vol+ and power, Vol- and power but nothing to do. I' m already in Test Mode on Windows 10 and I deleted every Zuk or Qualcomm Drivers. Anyone can help me?
Thank you
Ps: Even If the screen is always off, Is there a way to boot into fastboot mode with hardware keys?

Not that I know,do you have the stock recovery or twrp?
I have the exact problem with my new zuk z1. Any idea is appreciated. The nice phone seems lost now.
Seems like you'll have to restore your zuk to the zui version again. Do you have qrst and zui version downloaded??
The service port never pops up
I do have the qpst and the zui rom. The main obstacle is that qualcomm service port never pop up.

try this:
start QFIL from the QPST folder
Click browse on the programmer path row and select prog_emmc_firehose_8974.mbn from the directory where you unzipped the QPST ZUI ROM
and then click browse on the search path row and select the xml file + the other patch file which comes after it.
When thats done, make sure phone is off and then hold vol+ while you are inserting usb cable into phone and QFIL should then detect phone,
you may need to select port in the QFIL program and be quick with it, took me a few tries before I got it right so just take out the cable
and turn off and try again if you fail to make them connect.
Not only you need to select comport, you also need to press the download button aswell as soon as possible or else phone will continue booting as normal.
If everything went well then you should have ZUI loaded onto your phone and you are met with Chinese language as default.
On the first screen you are met with, just press the button in the bottom (on screen), then press cogwheel (which is the settings),
scroll down to yet another cogwheel in here which should be below a lock icon, then press second option in here and then the top option
to change language to english incase you cant make out the chinese and you should be good to go

Actually, I think the problem is, that it will not reach the fastboot mode, due to the non-stop process of system-updating and boot-loop. I can observe for a very short time the message 'systemupdate will be installed' and then the screen becomes black again. This procedure is repeating every time. I will wait till the battery is empty and see, whether the boot with Volume-+--USB-cable will work.

Of course I have tried this, with two different computers and two different USB cable, both actually working on my N5X. But the point is, that I do not reach the point, that qfil recognizes the phone. Also not with the trick of starting with power-button/USB-cable. It constantly tries to reboot and with adb I get a message 'not authorized' .

I think in my case the after the first successful CM13-snapshot-installation was two fold:
1. I have not enabled USB-debugging and do not have had connected it to my computer after the first CM13-installation.
2. Due to some unknown reason the automatically update via CM itself has boot looped.
The second point is not a real problem, I think. I have had a bootloop many times before with other phones, as well as with the Zuk, but I was always able to resolve the problem with adb. I think the first point was the problem, so adb wasn't possible, due to authorization problems. The reason why qfil does not work, I really do not know exactly, but qfil in fact was not able to recognize the phone.
I have the same problem. Totally bricked.
No charge, no PC recognise, nothing.
I tried with QFIL but the PC does not recognise the port.
I don't know what else I can do. Any ideas?
Thanks!

[Hard Brick] Nexus 6P 7.1.2 Beta 2 [Solved]

Hey guys I just installed the full image of 7.1.2 beta 2 over top of beta 1 using Flashfire without the bootloader and modem selected and all went fine until I decided to use Flashfire to upgrade the bootloader and modem forgetting that we must use Fastboot as I am new to Flashfire and I was reading all through the beta thread before I did it and didn't understand we still must use Fastboot so anyways I am stuck in a hard brick now with the phone not powering on at all and can't do anything to restore it as my Windows 10 now detects the phone as unknown device (device descriptor request failed) is there anything I can do at this point as I just bought this phone used.
The error that I got in Flashfire was that the device storage is full when updating the bootloader as the modem went fine.
@rmorris003
You said the phone won't even power on. You mean no Google? Hold the power button down for a couple of minutes and see if it will reboot. If not put it on a charger, and after fully charging try the long press power button again. If you can get it to start, try to put it in fastboot mode. (ie. power+vol dn). If you can get to bootloader you can send fastboot commands and fix it. If you can get to this point, there are instructions here.

Hello... Well if your device is recognized as unknown, you could try to give this a shot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/howtos-debrick-nexus-6p-stuck-edl-9008-t3552838
Try to install Qualcomm driver first check the device manager. If you see your phone recognized as:
HS-USB QDLOADER 9008
You may be lucky!
Good luck...

You disabled driver signature and rebooted your computer? Then installed Qualcomm drivers from the thread I linked you to? I think you have to reboot your computer once more...
Good luck...
I held the power and vol down and now it shows up under com ports so this is a good sign.
Ok got bootloader back and now put twrp on, I had to use qfil with nexus6p_fix_bricked but it got stuck at writing system.img but atleast the phone is on now.
Flashed the 7.1.2 beta 2 full image using the fastboot method included and all is back to normal.
Thanks so much for the help.

Hello, I had a very little progress. I gave up about my asus zenfone max a year ago but glad that now looks like there's a hope in reviving my phone. I was able to download the right files to flash with QFIL. Most people here say that their PC detected QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 but mine detect it as QUALCOMM HS-USB DIAGNOSTICS 9006. Due to excitement, I flashed it anyway and it created some memory partition on my hard drive whenever I plug the phone but QFIL gave me an error of :
** Download Fail: Switch To EDL Fail Failed to switch to Emergency Download Mode
I tried to google this error, some encountered it and was able to get a resolution by just removing the battery before plugging it in but our zenfone is with non removable battery. I have no luck yet. Anyone got suggestions ?

If you're having trouble with QFIL, best thing to do is uninstall Qualcomm drivers, reboot, reinstall, try again. Repeat until you can flash without problem.
I had to uninstall many times. Don't lose hope. It takes a lot of effort
hey Sree. I noticed that it is being detected as Qualcomm HS-USB diagnostics 9006. So what I did is I forced driver to install Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I'm now having a Sahara error. I'll try reinstalling drivers but I have a quastion. Does QFIL version matter ?

Force EDL MODE 9008 On Essential PH-1

Hi,
Does anyone know how to force EDL 9008 mode on the essential ph-1. Through fastboot the command reboot-edl does not put it into edl. Also attaching D+ and Gnd during power on of the USB cable also does not work. Was hoping someone knows the secret to forcing the phone into this mode.
Thanks

As I said in my post, I tried fastboot reboot-edl commands and it just reboots into normal mode. I also built the special usb type C cable that has a switch to gnd D+ on bootup to try and force the mode. I was looking for alternatives.

I have since tried to do
reboot-emergency
reboot-recovery
reboot-EDL
All these commands simple make the phone reset like normal. There has to be a way to force emergency download mode on this essential phone.
Hello
As I said in your previous publication, follow these steps:
Before you connect the phone to the cable, enter fastboot mode
Plug the phone into the cable Connect the black and green wire with some and do not separate them
In the phone scroll to the reboot bootloader and press the power button
The phone will turn off and switch to EDL mode
Then connect the phone to the normal cable means without shorts
If the phone is running in bootloader mode, try again
I hope you succeed in the process
I also will not give up and will try to fix the phone in eBay mode

Your phone must be different. I can do the exact same thing and my phone never goes to edl, it goes back to powered by android.
In edl mode
OK, I put my ph-1 essential in EDL mode by shorting the black and green wire just like in the youtube; Device Manager shows "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9003 (COM3)" under "Ports (COM & LPT)"
Am I really in EDL mode and if the answer is yes - now what I do?
why do you want to do in the 9008 mode? do you mean you can flash rome rom in 9008 mode?

Yes, the phone is softbricked in bootloop and unless there is a way to force flashing in fastboot this seems like the way to go.

The only way to flash anything in 9008 mode is to have the PH-1 programmer files, which have not been released or leaked.
If your phone is under warranty, Essential might help you (they seem to be helping people who got bricked while updating Q beta).
help me!!!

Funny enough, there's an EDL target in adb
adb reboot edl
Some advice, please?

Any chance you could provide me with some sort of instructions or direction? I've tried several different versions of QPST to no avail now. On the advice of a redditor, I was directed to try the CLI version of emmcdl but I can't even find a windows compatible build of this.
I have nothing against exploring/reading/learning but it sucks not being able to even start. I'd love to know if I'm even just on the right track.
Further Advise Needed!

My Essential Phone is a hard brick now with no response at all (no logo, no light..). And when I connect it with my computer, it is recognized as 9008 immediately, I downloaded your file and fill them in the QFIL, but every time I click the "Download" button, the sound of USB devices unplugged appears, and it fails all the time with an information that goes
ERROR: function: rx_data:247 Error occurred while reading from COM port
ERROR: function: sahara_main:983 Sahara protocol error
ERROR: function: main:320 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed
Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail
I have no idea why these arise, since I am confident the driver was installed correctly. I even suspect that is it even the real 9008 mode? I'd appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to flash this ROM, tks!

Hardbricked to Qualcomm USB 9008

Really hoping someone can help me out here. I have a Nexus 6P, Non-BLOD. Yesterday, after clean flashing the latest version of EvoX, while setting some things up, device randomly crashed. No Shut down animation or anything. Just black screen. Tried turning it on via Power Button and then Power And Volume Buttons but nothing works. Connected it to PC and see it's Detected as Qualcomm USB Bulk (9008) in Coms and Ports. Did some research and found out I have to flash via QFIL. And this is where I am stuck. I tried several versions, but it doesn't flash/gives Shara error. I tried reinstalling driver. I also read a guide here. But the Firmware link is dead and it says to flash via MiFlash, something I can't even try since the Link in the OP is dead. I tried some different versions of QFIL but all of them give a Sahara Communication error. Now I'm pretty much at a loss on what to do. I'd really like to fix my 6P. And I would appreciate anyone taking the time to point me in the right direction, or help me fix it. Thanks in Advance.

Same thing happened to me in the same ROM (Weird) .. but i managed to flash the qfil successfully .. but still phone doesnt boot up .. here's what you should do ... try to hard reset the phone until you hear the disconnecting sound from pc . Ready all the necessary flash in the qfil and as soon as u hear the device connected hit the download button .. it will flash without the sahara protocol error . Be quick ! tell me if that fixed ur problem . Peace

Thanks. Can you share the files you used please? I can't for the life of me, find the correct download files. There was a Nexus6P_Unbrick by TenFar but all the links are down.

I used another qfil firmware

Here is the link .. you can find the firehose and all files in the firmare folder . Best of Luck
I have a similar situation where I am unable to power on the phone in any way, and I am only able to communicate with the qualcom USB 9008 driver.
I am following your instructions using the firmware files you provided (thank you!) and I can see an attempt is being made to download the files before sahara error occurs.
I don't think I enabled developer options when my Nexus 6P was working and wondered if sahara error is due to that.
I was wondering if you had previously enabled developer options by tapping on the build number several times, once the operating system booted and if that is a critical step in being able to recover the Nexus 6p from this hard bricked state where I am stuck in EDL 9008 mode, and unable to access bootloader, and volume+power keys do not do anything...I feel like I'm screwed (and already moved on) but using time these days to learn about android devices!
thanks!
