Maybe save the hardbrick - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hi.
My phone is bricked now.The phone can load 9008 mode.So I can use the qfil tool to unbrick it.But I need some files to rescue it. The file name like xxxx.mbn xxx.elf and rawprogram-flash0.xml.If you can provide

I was in the same situation as you. I tried reaching out to a couple forums and had no luck. I eventually ended up paying $199 to get a replacement from Essential. I believe that is the only option at this time. No one seems to have the emmc files for Essential phone yet.

Exactly the same. It's completely dead, not visible in the windows device manager or lsusb on linux either.

If you turn it off. Press and hold the up volume button then plug in USB... it'll start and hang at the booting screen. Isn't that a way to enter the mode?

Nope. When your turn it on, the backlight is dim so you can barely see the boot screen. Still no way to get it recognized on my pc

Any one have any luck with this?

He probably had an empty slot....so when he switched it didn't have a bootloader on it or something ....I always flash a bts to both slots so it nvr will brick from swapping slots...

Here is one more thing you can try. Download this debrick IMG and follow these instructions.
1) I took the file you gave me and renamed it .img
2) Used Win32DiskImager to burn the image onto my SD card.
3) Held Vol Down + Power + Home and download mode launched.

Try pulling the battery and plug it into your computer with the OEM data cable. Wait for 10 minutes and try to start the phone without the battery. If it works, it's a damaged or low battery.
If it doesn't, see if it will hook up to Kies 3 to repair.
Last resort is call the manufacturer to see if they can help.

It depends on your type of hard brick. Does your computer see anything at all when connected? Maybe something like QHSUSB_BULK?

Dang. Hate to hear it. Try one last time to connect your phone yo the computer. Look under "computer" and "device manager" and see if you can see it. If nothing shows up, JTAG or trying to get it replaced by warranty is probably your only options. I had a hard bricked S4 that they replaced.

device is not restarting the driver second time as Preloader Device...
You will probably have better luck posting in the M9+ forum. I have never heard of this flash tool, but the dedicated xda thread for it seems to be full of bricks.
From the sound of it, you either flashed the wrong file or flashed the right file to the wrong place.
Just curious if the pc detects the device will an RUU detect it?

Usually something like "USB Preloader Device" means a low-level brick because the PC can't tell what it is. For a RUU to work, it has to be detectable by ADB, not just Device Manager.
Would putting the RUU on the sdcard make any difference? I am still new to htc.
On my samsung I hard bricked once and recovered by putting a bin file on my sd card. There is an app called partition backup on play store that allows someone to make such file. Would that work? I think someone could make a backup and then post it.

Not knowing what state he put it in, it's hard to say. Worth a try.
But if the bootloader is corrupted, the phone will never get to the point of reading the sdcard.
That flash tool seems scary to me... Sorry for not adding any advice!

A hardware un bricking tool (sure there used to be a tool for htc devices xtc was it? Could be wrong?) or RMA seems to be your only options now.
Obviously try the holding all buttons and waiting for the vibrate method then try to get to bootloader mode. If that fails I'd be aiming to get it replaced, good news is if it is totally bricked, chances are HTC will just think the bootloader went on you.

Wait, I thought you said it wouldn't turn on at all?
How did you flash an img file if your unit doesn't turn on?
I'd say if there is no life in it at all its probably gone. How did it happen?? Did it get water damage?
Now it in edl modle(9008), it seems impossible to recover it without the firehose file.

There are Qualcomm tools out there that can recover a soft brick like that.
Now you just need to flash a bootloader and it will be back up and running!

There are enough people out there... If something could possibly work... Or if a whisper of unbricking is heard (though more than likely it's just @aer0zer0 farting)... There are literally DOZENS of people trying it...

Try hold power + volume up and down the same time and keep hold it until you see the 'Shutdown' show on the top left corner of the phone, then turn it back on to see if it help.
Mine was loop to boot loader and every time i use recover it said data corrupted and I did the above step and I can restore back to stock after that. I don't know if it help but if there is no way but trash you can try it. Good luck )
