There are a few threads in the forum about how to unbrick a hard bricked device. But only vague directions how to unbrick a soft bricked device.
My phone can be booted into fastboot mode. It is recognized by the PC but when I use command prompt and write fastboot devices nothing happens. I have installed the driver. Also my phone cannot enter any kind of recovery cause it's bricked. Only the red logo appears and nothing else.
I see there are issues with using fastboot on Gionee E7. Did anyone solve them?
I would be grateful if anyone of the members explain how to unbrick the device or show me a proper article or thread.
Thanks

Download the Kitkat update, search google or the forum for it. Rename the update to update.zip then switch off your phone and connect it to your computer. It will open up live a flash drive then copy the file to the phone. Unplug the phone and switch off and then on. It should boot into recovery. In recovery, select the option that says update from sd card. It will show you an explorer view, then look for the update.zip, select it and let it install. Once its done switch of your phone and then on back. It should working now. It may take a while to boot for the first time.

Dear sir,
i tried to factory reset my phone and when phone rebooted YU logo shown up but after that nothing happened ,it didn't load up,black screen,shut down again.(SOFT BRICK).
i tried many attempts to install stock recovery using fast boot mode,but in cmd it ends up showing waiting for device.
i think usb debugging was disabled,that's why it is showing waiting for devices,and hence i cannot install stock recovery and reboot my phone. So is there any way to fix "waiting for device" ,is there any way to enable usb debugging even if i cannot start my phone . I need your your help ASAP.

yes it is soft brick. i face same problem. but make sure your pc has successfuly installed adb drivers.
if drivers are not working so you will see waiting for device.

Always first do a complete search on xda, because there's always someone else who had the same problem earlier. This question has been asked a gazillion times. Thats not too big a problem. If you follow correctly, you'll be able to unbrick it in no time. Follow this tutorial and first try the third method. If that doesn't work then try the second one.

as i was having a bootloop problem when i tried to root my Yureka which was on Lollipop.
So searched for a softbrick fix guide and I used the yureka fastboot tools with cm11 stock by allflash.bat.
the procedure finished and the cmd window closed but when i pressed the power button it won't start.
when i connect it to the PC it won't recognize.
I think I have hardbricked my phone because i flashed a 32bit over a 64bit.
can anyone help me please?
some guide as to revive my phone?
Also my phone is not in the warranty period anymore.
I'll really appreciate if someone gives me a fix for this.
You shouldn't have used a batch file like allflash.bat - Did you notice any errors/issues while flashing the ROM ?
Follow this blog step by step - http ://webtrickz.com/how-to-downgrade-yureka-from-cm12-lollipop-to-cm11-kitkat
All should be good. Best of Luck.

I will try to explain everything from the beginning. I was about to install a custom rom install (it was in 7.1.1 stock, unlocked bootloader) so when I was going to do full wipe with lastest TWRP there was an error. Wait for about 15 minutes just in case, but nothing happened so I decided to restart it to try again. But the phone stuck in the ZTE logo and if it tried to enter TWRP was stuck in the logo too, I tried with all versions of TWRP and no one works. Find a post that said I could use TWRP tenfars tool to recover my phone and had to enter the EDL mode. I managed to put the phone in edl mode but now I can not get out of it. I press and hold the power button for a minute and nothing happens (no vibration, no led, no ZTE logo) my pc just does the unplug windows sound. My pc recognizes the phone as QUSB_BULK. When I try to use the tenfars tool I get this message:
C:\Users\Alejandro Saavedra\Downloads\minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.1_portable>axon7tool -w recovery
Connecting to device...
S: failed to read command
S: Failed to receive hello
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): error: Unknown error
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Also try using the xiaomi MiFlash tool (even change the drivers from QUSB_BULK to COM COM 5) but something similar happens, also tells me can not recive hello package.
I'm a little new to this so I beg you a little patience
Please work very hard to buy this phone, there has to be some way to unbrick it. :crying:
If you need any additional information just tell me
If you use axon7tool :
check in Devices Manager if is called QLIBSD.
rename recovery.img to recovery.bin.
If you use MiFlash :
get latest version : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298954241
check in Devices Manager if is called Qualcomm 8004.

You need two files, recovery.img and recovery.bin in same folder. (Don't forget to unzip tenfars TWRP and after that rename and make a copy)

anyway :

404 Not Found...
To flash a recovery file (STOCK or TWRP) with axon7tool, the file has to be called recovery.bin.

Once unzipped, copy it to recovery.bin:

Thanks to everyone for your answers, I was able to recover my phone using miflash, qualcom usb drivers and this ROM https://build.nethunter.com/misc/axon7/A2017U_B15-NEW_FULL_EDL.zip I put my phone in EDL mode and then flash the mentioned rom. It took me like 20-30 tries to finally get it. The last attempt I made was to unplug the device from the computer, I kept the power button for 10 seconds and connect it to the computer without ever releasing the power button. It was seen as always (black screen, not led) but for some reason this time works. I hope everyone can solve this problem. Can pm me if you need help, maybe i can help with something

That's because you reset the EDL that way. the method is weird but seemed to work...
If you hold the 3 buttons for ~10 secs while the device is in EDL it will reset it
@Choose an username... I am out of context, but I wonder if I can remove the ugly message on each startup telling it can't check if the device is not corrupted... I think this message is caused by the unlocked bootloader. A solution ? Thank you.

Actually, it is a nice feature for the few seconds it lasts, but read HERE if you must. Be careful!

I'd advice against doing it... I had no trouble with it but a bunch of people now have paperweights. But yeah, the link is the one provided by the other guy above me
Thank you so much @Choose an username... and @amphi66 : that worked !
Anyway I am on G B04 (Nougat).
Do you know some cool mods I should do ?
Like debloat, remove the boot message (done), etc...
Hello guys, how are you today ?
I will do my best to write properly (french, sad)
So, i unlocked my phone with no problem. I tried to install a working TWRP. The ADB command to install was easy, but impossible to boot in twrp with the boot command on ADB.
I understood that i just needed to press up and power to open TWRP.
I putted on my OTG USB KEY the xiaomi.eu weekly ROM for my phone.
I formated only DATA, and i began the installation.
I had an error, and after my OTG was not recognize.
I just putted up and power to reboot the phone and try again.
But i dont know what happened, black screen, impossible to boot on something, i tryed to hold power 15 sec and nothing work, impossible to go to fastboot mode.
The phone is recognized on windows but nothing more.
I searched on the net and my phone is bricked. I need to open it to press ELD.
I found someone who has ELD permission for 12$.
Now i just want to know if someone can explain me how to open without damage the phone and how to be in ELD mode.
Thanks you and have a nice day.
I guess you could try to buy an EDL cable instead.
How you see phone in device manager?
