Bricked ZUK Z1 ?

Was able to wipe OS on my phone, now only ZUK Recovery menu is available. Boot stops showing white ZUK logo on screen.
ADB does not recognize the device.
Is it totally bricked now? or does there exist a solution?

I think you can still flash a factory image with the recovery, but I don't know how. By the way, how do you acces the fasboot menu ? Because I think it is still present on my bricked Z1 but I tried nearly every button combination to acces it, but never succeed...

I get to the ZUK Recovery menu by holding down both volume + and - for 10 sec at the moment phone vibrates at startup.
Hopefully there is a way to flash a recovery image. In the ZUK recovery menu there is an option to install update.zip, but I can't find a way to push the file to the device.

Download qpst and the zui rom file and flash it and you should be good to go
qpst

Z1 usb driver (can be troublesome if doing this in windows 10 so try and use a win7 machine)
https://mega.nz/#!l8pVHIpT!UkcW3Jg4B7YilDjZatvLqGBi_R4vVUYVdkrsUL_Ve9k
If you dont know how to flash then ill try and guide you
After you installed qpst, you will get a bunch of programs, start QFIL from the qpst folder
Click browse on the programmer path row and select "prog_emmc_firehose_8974.mbn" 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 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 alrite then you soon got ZUI flashed on your phone and can install recovery etc
Good luck!

Thanks very much for this guidance and files, so this will be a serial communucation, and I will not need the MTP USB to work? I have trouble with that driver, tried two windows 7 computers without luck.
I will try asap, phone is a christmas present so I'm in a kind off hurry. Plan was to flash ZUI to CM12.1...

Nah no need for MTP
As soon as you got zui into phone, you can convert back to cyanogen if you prefer that one. Look at modacos guide for example http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/375804-convert-z1-from-zukui-to-cyanogen-os/
When you got zui loaded onto phone again, its in chinese. 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

Christmas is saved ! I'm back in business Thanks to tndb !
But last problem is to flash to CM. These steps below are unclear for me, tried "Wipe Data" and then "install using adb" but the sideload command fails with error "no device"
Select the option to wipe the device (important!)
Select the install update / from USB option
Type 'adb sideload z1.cyanogen.convert.signed.zip'
There are several Wipe options data or partitions?
Don't get any update / from USB option in the recovery menu. Only install using adb, but it fails

Not sure where you got stuck?
If you already are as far as in cyanogen recovery, then its prob that your phone isnt detected in device manager as it may be detected as yet another device. Install driver again and then run the "adb sideload z1.cyanogen.convert.signed.zip" command (make sure the zip is in the same folder as your adb working folder)
otherwise read below
Did you manage to get into bootloader mode by typing "adb reboot bootloader"?
If you are already in bootloader mode, have you checked device manager if phone is detected here?
Have you made sure bootloader is unlocked aswell? Check with "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem device-info" and if its still locked then type "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock"
and then "fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot z1.recovery.testkeys.img" to load cyanogen recovery.
Let me know if you still cant get it working, if you got google hangouts just pm me with details and ill help you from there

Thanks tndb, you put me in the right direction again, did a "adb kill-server" before adb sideload command and voila the sideload command connected and soon I'm ready to wrap the christmas present.
Merry Christmas ! and thanks

If you can boot in fasboot mode and you are able to connect to your device from your pc you can just download the fastboot flashable stock image from Cyanogen Inc. Unzip it and flash it with fastboot. There are a a lot of guides how to do that on xda.

Download the fast signed image of COS 12.1 here http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/ham/...d-fastboot.zip
Unzip it
Open cmd or terminal
Go to the unzipped folder
Execute this step by step:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash splash splash.img
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash persist persist.img
This will restore your bootloader to stock Cyanogen OS. It will remain unlocked. You can add cache.img, system.img and userdata yourself I guess. Otherwise Google for flash fastboot nexus. That should give you an idea how to flash with fastboot.

You have had an answer from the phone. So there was a connection. You can always test beforehand with the command fastboot -i 0x4b2c devices. It should then let you see the serial number of your phone.
But your answer was device is locked. That means you still have an locked bootloader. For to be able to use adb you have to add 0x4b2c to your usb_adb.ini file. Please look a bit more to the solutions that already have been given in the other threads. To unlock your bootloader you need to use the toolkit. You will find that in the development thread. The toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/development/win-zuk-z1-toolkit-0-1-alpha-t3235964
You will than have the possibility to flash a TWRP recovery too. With that you could also just flash the full rom as a zip.

I have played a while with this tool, and now the phone boots only into zuk logo(not the cyanogen anymore), also now i have access only to recovery and fastboot. Think i ve messed it up. Tried to sideload the stock rom and worked up to 47% with this tool, then gave me error on the phone. So, there is a working connection between phone and pc but i don t know what i can do. However i can t unlock the bootloader , when i try, it shows press any key and nothing happens. When i check the devices connected to the pc in adb tool, it shows me nothing. The only connection i was able to put up, was only sideload update.
None of the other commands is working. I can t install twrp recovery, i can, t unlock bootloader. I can t do anything.
I was able to use some fastboot commands in fastboot mode however. I managed to reboot phone in android using command in zuk tool from pc. When tried to flash stock rom in fastboot with the command from the tool, i got the same error : DEVICE IS LOCKED . CANNOT FLASH IMAGES

Thank you for the information. You should be able to flash the stock Cyanogen recovery with fastboot. Than you could do a factory reset in that recovery. That's all you need to have a working phone again. But with that recovery you could also flash the signed zip from Cyanogen.

I CANNOT flash the stock rom using fastboot. I have tried, many times. Also, the USB debugging was not activate befor the bricking. The only option i can use to flash something seems to be sideload. Also, where can i find the stock recovery?? I acces the fastboot mode from stock recovery. Isn t this enough?
That is what i recieve when i try to install a recovery using the tool. I can wait all day long.
Also, wehn i try to use the command [FASTBOOT]REBOOT INTO ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY WITHOU INSTALL i recieve this:
When i use the command [FASTBOOT] REFLASH THE STOCK USING MANUALLY DOWNLOADED FACTORY IMAGE i get this. (i donwloaded the official signed fastboot rom and followed the instructions)
And that is what i get when i try to sideload the cm signed rom with the [ADB]SIDELOAD A ZIP FILE command

No. Type fastboot devices. Adb is used when phone is powerd on and usb debugging is enabled.
Go in fastboot mode by pressing power button and volume down key. Then attach it to pc and do the steps stated in previous post.

Boot animation or simply mi logo and then vibrating and again rebooting???
If mi flash tool shows successfully done without any errors then
Try this
Roeboot to fast boot and type
fastboot oem unlock-go
I guess it will be fixed

I am stuck at boot animation with the three white dots spinning for ever ? will try to do as you said

I tried fastboot oem unlock-go but i get response: token verification failed and device still stuck on bootanimation

well, i think this caused by relocking bootloader after we flash a new firmware. if that happens, just go in fastboot mode by hold power button + volume down, then unlock it again using mi unlock. reboot it..your twrp is back.
no need to enter edl mode & install twrp again, btw thanks..this is helpful

tips to avoid relocking bootloader, when u want to flash a new firmware..just delete emmc apsbot.mbn file inside the firmware using winrar or etc, or u can use psy-man firmware because the emmc file has been deleted

don't flash official miui from twrp (you better do it in edl mode), but yes you can flash custom miui like miui eu, miuipro, multirom, epic miui etc from twrp. and..after u delete the emmc file inside the firmware which is included on every miui rom, your bootloader will be safe

Probably the problem with bootloader file

not a whole lot of talk anywhere else so i'll try here. i just got my kenzo few days ago, jumped the gun and started trying to get twrp on it. i'm assuming the bootloader was locked. As of right now it wont boot up, its in edl mode maybe... red led flashes and i can upgrade driver to 9008. sometimes its recognized by miflash and when it is and i try to flash stock fastboot it gives me an error. i know thats a lot to take in but i'm trying to cover all my bases. the phone came from overseas so sending it back isnt really an option. any help is appreciated.

Rooting and unlock bootloader for Redmi 3S plus (indian) (solved 50% stuck)

Guys is that a way to root redmi 3s without unlocking bootloader?
Edit: Practically it's not possible....Unlock bootloader first then install twrp now root in just 7 days.
Note: Don't use any tricks available in forums and it won't work, just wait minimum 6days after U get permission because ur profile will get update to mi server slowly and it takes time then after 6th day use miunlock otherwise U will get 50% error.
Requirements: switch on OEM unlock and debug option that's all and login in to the same mi account which U got permission.
Please refer: http://en.miui.com/thread-298586-1-1.html

Did as u told and it didn't flash twrp rather It showed success. Have u unlocked your bootloader?

Device can't go to EDL mode and it says device locked

Regarding to ur root with out unlocking bootloader
Dont get me Wrong guys
I already tried this method a long time ago..where my device is locked
Here's What i did.... before i have locked bootloader..i downloaded fastboot images put the device in edl mode and change the recovery file img to twrp img and rename it to recovery.img..And flash the All os files.. flashed successfully but still it shows stock recovery
that's why i'm wondering about that .
.And i changed the boot file to twrp image and rename it to boot .. it flashed the files succesfull But it stuck on mi logogo and lead me to qualocom diagonostic mode 900E Because of partioning mismatch [i guess ]
luckily i'm having fastboot because the flasher first flashes the bootloader and mbn files
i initiate
Code:
fastboot oem edl
command then i'm in edl mode and flashed the device to previous state ..After that i stopped the work it's a new phone guys [1 week ] i got feared
So my query is how it still can't boot into twrp recovery mode if it's flashed successfull in edl mode [ i checked the log file ]
I guess because of encryption process of system partition after flashing ..so again what i did is after flashing the fles immediatly i boot on to recovery still the device automatically loops .. and start encryption
Now i Need Some one who's bootloader is locked to continue my work/test
Here's My Contact info 7396884287. Named Tyson... Give Me a Missed Call

Help Me Unbrick My Mi A1!!

I bought the Mi A1 some weeks ago and it was working just fine. I flashed twrp, rooted and was happy with it until I found out that I could no longer install OTAs so I decided to flash the fastboot ROM, downloaded the lastest one from www.xiaomifirmware.com, attemted to flash it but couldn't. The MiFlashTool for some reason simply didn't have a flash option in it which it was supposed to have so uninstalled the flash tool and tried installing older versions of it but still no signs of the flash option, this got me frustrated and I was searching for other ways to flash the fastboot rom, I did found some and tried putting the rom in the minimal adb and fastboot tool, it did flash it but the slot a or b, i don't remember, was stuck on recovery mode, mean while i could boot from the another slot normally, I agan istalled twrp on the working slot(Idk why) and
the wifi was broken. I simply couldn't turn it on(the wifi). So I was back to flashing the fastboot rom and in the process I figured a way to find the flash option that was missing using the tab key on the keyboard but the flash itself didn't go very well, i got a modem_a error so I was back to other ways of flashing it and in the process the phone turned off and a Qualcomm driver began to install, it got installed and I was extremely happy that I could flash the rom with the MiFlashTool but after the flash completed and I got the sucess message, the phone got stuck on the bootlogo and rebooted normally in the next automatic reboot, I was greeted with the basic setup and I was happy but after 30-60 sec it got hung and the device started to repeat this process. I tried flash the older versions of the rom but still no luck. Can some one help me with this issue???

This issue has been fixed, Try following these steps:
1) Unlock the bootloader.
2) Download Mi Flash Tool and install it. (For the drivers, skip it if you have installed the drivers already)
3) Download and Install minimal adb and fastboot , persist.img from august build link will be below.
4) Copy the persist.img to the where the minimal adb fastboot tool is located.
5) Goto the minimal adb fastboot tool folder where you had put the persist.img.
6) Open cmdhere.exe
7) Put your phone in fastboot mode (Volume - and Power)
8) Type the following commands:
- fastboot devices (you should something like this:
Fastboot dsad5454sfs, If not, re-install the the fastboot drivers correctly. )
- fastboot erase persist.img
- fastboot flash persist persist.img
Voila! Done but please note that you can just do it once and not repeatedly.

I don't know the specifics but you're going to have to go for a very basic low-level wipe and re-flash of the stock ROM from Xiaomi. Be *very* careful to get the correct ROM files and flashing tools. I'd head to the official Xiaomi EN (english) forums or ask here on XDA. I think the reason you haven't had more replies is because your post was a difficult to read wall of text.
If you're currently booting up but then it's rebooting on it's own - that's actually a good sign that you hopefully should be able to restore it to stock firmware and then go from there. Beyond that I can't help you but I'm sure someone else here can. Good luck! And if you figure it out make sure to come back and let us know how you fixed it in case anyone else has similar problems.

Just take it to service center they will do it.

info:
If you can flash anything using fastboot then do fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin and you'll enter edl mode and should be able to flash the FASTBOOT ROM through the mi flash tool if you have installed the drivers properly.

So I did got it fixed and to a working state but my dissatisfaction led me to some more trouble and it's currently hard bricked or need to be flashed using a deep flash cable to be presice. Basically it's on its way to the service centre.
So how I fixed the issue?
1) Unlock the bootloader.
2) Download Mi Flash Tool and install it. (For the drivers, skip it if you have installed the drivers already)
3) Download and Install minimal adb and fastboot , official fastboot rom.
4) Extract the fastboot rom and copy the persist.img located in the Images folder of the fastboot ROM to the where the minimal adb fastboot tool is located.
5) Goto the minimal adb fastboot tool folder where you had put the persist.img.
6) Open cmdhere.exe
7) Put your phone in fastboot mode (Volume - and Power)
8) Type the following commands:
- fastboot devices (You should see something If not re-install the the fastboot drivers correctly. )
- fastboot erase persist.img
- fastboot flash persist persist.img
Voila! Done but please note that you cant just do it once and not repeatedly.

Why don't you just use the batch file already provided in the stock image folder? Install adb fastboot system wide drivers. Connect your phone to pc in fastboot mode. And just run the batch file in tissot_images folder (I prefer flash_all_except_storage.bat)

Please just have a look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929

This issue has been fixed, Try following these steps:
1) Unlock the bootloader.
2) Download Mi Flash Tool and install it. (For the drivers, skip it if you have installed the drivers already)
3) Download and Install minimal adb and fastboot , persist.img from august build link will be below.
4) Copy the persist.img to the where the minimal adb fastboot tool is located.
5) Goto the minimal adb fastboot tool folder where you had put the persist.img.
6) Open cmdhere.exe
7) Put your phone in fastboot mode (Volume - and Power)
8) Type the following commands:
- fastboot devices (you should something like this:
Fastboot dsad5454sfs, If not, re-install the the fastboot drivers correctly. )
- fastboot erase persist.img
- fastboot flash persist persist.img
Voila! Done but please note that you can just do it once and not repeatedly.
