Hard Brick / Soft Brick ? Help - Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
A strange thing happen to me, my Zuk Z1 ran out of battery and I've put it to charge and when I boot it up again it kept boot looping.
My Zuk Z1 is the international version and I have tried all of the below solutions
Clear all caches and media - No luck
Use QFIL with original rom - No luck keeps boot looping and most of the times gives an error at the very end of the QFIL ( Download Failed QDloader .... )
Used QFIL with ZUI rom - Works but most of the functions don't work, no wifi, bluethooh and so on
Erased sdl1 with fastboot ( that made the phone to seem dead, had to open it and remove the battery in order to be able to install QFIL rom again )
ADB sideload, stops at 47% everytime and the phone reboots and keeps doing the boot loop.
I can get ADB and Fastboot working but I'm running out of ideas!
Also I was thinking on rooting the phone to allow me to install Cyanogenmod to see if it works but don't know how to achieve this, Kingroot needs internet and I have no way of getting it to work.
Any idea would be very welcome !
Thanks
UPDATE:
I was able to flash TWRP and CYANOGENMOD 13, it boots but its the same as in ZUI, no wifi or bluetooth, I'm guessing it was the motherboard that fried !? The mac address displayed on the WLAN is 02:00:00:00:00:00 and i've tried several options in developer mode which didn't work.

[Q] I Soft bricked my yu yureka,plz help!

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.

How to install custom ROM in Zenfone 5 if phone never boots into recovery mode

I want to install custom ROM on my Zenfone 5.
Things you should know:
.. Phone OS completely corrupts unable to boot the device (even android logo also not appear)
.. It is not showing charging symbol also when connected to charger/usb
.. Phone never boots into recovery mode (it is just restarting(vibration)! and stay idle)
.. It has TeamWin recovery project that appear after 30 mins of charging (useful!!)
So, can anybody tells me how install custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/orig-development/beta-cyanogenmod-12-1-tank0412-t3285392) please don't say boot into recovery mode and do some adb/fastboot commands it is not working (volume up+power or any combination). It is just showing one big red charging bar symbol without charging.. and some times TeamWin which may helpful because it has filemanager and I can browse but I don't know how to install with that.
If you have any ideas please share me..
Thanks
You can put rom on the external sdcard and install it after TWRP booting.
But i think that something wrong with bootloader on your phone so you should try to make unbrick.

Thanks for the answer..
Hard bricked device - Just like it's name, your device is dead. It behaves like a real brick. You can have no operation on pressing the power button.
So we can make a conclusion: soft bricked device can’t be defined as "BRICKED"; the hard bricked device is the real "DEAD & BRICKED", and it can't be unbricked. Sorry for the answer to how to unbrcik hard bricked Android phone.
This is the situation of my phone and whenever I flash a zip file from TWRP I'm getting following error..
"E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/.....zip'"
I'm googling this error but unable to get anything(trying some of the one plus one solutions to the similar problem).. Please help me..

It looks like you use TWRP by Knone which is broken a bit. So you should install TWRP by quanganh2627.
Try to flash this package via TWRP:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Fin8UxrD6PNm1NSDNQQ3JqUkU/view?usp=sharing
It will install a stable TWRP.

Hi! Your zip file successfully installed but after that also I'm getting same error. Is there any file download problem (Checksum or like that) or do I have to restart my phone(No OS installed!)

Yes, I'm trying that but the problem here is I'm unable to flash TWRP now (Run the command prompt - wait for device - phone starts several times but only big red battery symbol without charging/usb cable showing red bar below - boot into installed OS) that's it without flashing the TWRP phone reboots and command prompt still waiting for device even device already booted.
Interestingly now the battery showing 100% directly (I don't know ! whether it is actual figure or something goes wronng!) but still my IMEI is empty and I want to install stock ROM on this device for this purpose.
Note: still power + volume up/down to goto recovery mode not working
Any help appreciated. Thanks!!

You bricked your device.
You should use unbrick method:

I am really sorry to hear about what's happened.
You may consider flashing the stock ROM of your Lenovo A6000 to resolve the issue.
If you prefer the KitKat ( Which I highly recommend. I tried all kinds of Custom ROMs for years but now I am back to the stock, it's the best and the most compatible for our device. ), you can download the package from the link given below. All the tools needed are there including the instructions.
Code:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/vlw8t6yv0jzay1b/Lenovo_A6000_S040_150805_8G_ROW_by.reda%40gem-flash.com.zip
However, if you wish to flash Lollipop stock ROM which has many bugs, you can download the other package below. It also includes instructions and tools needed.
Code:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dhwu78g9llbv133/Lenovo_A6000_S062_Q102113_20161223.zip
If you are still having problems, please let me know. I may be able to help you further.

Phone acting strange - Bricked?

Hi
My phone stopped working a couple of days ago, I had been running a custom rom for 2 mths. I tried to restart and boot to recovery TWRP as I was going to reflash the rom. It charegs with no lights, for a day I couldnt boot to TWRP if it did it stayed on the start screen with no options. Today I can get options in TWRP so I tried to start fresh install but intstallation stops at step 1 ?
I have no idea what happened to the phone or why it just died, but dont understand why I can get into TWRP but cant flash rom etc. Also sometimes it say system destroyed message? but still can get into TWRP ?
Any ideas or help will much appreciated really would like to fix this rather than write the phone off.
Thanks
i think flashing firmware is the only option

Hi, been playing with this when i have time over the last few weeks.
I have been trying to flash firmware, I dont seem to be able to get QFIL to work for me, it wont reconsise the port. However MIFlash does but I get errors, sometimes it flashes but doesnt end? other times i have had error flashing modem_a or error flashing modem_b (maybe device is locked).
In ADB it says already unlocked. Also I can only boot into fastboot, not recovery so i cant intall anything from adb sideload, it wont boot into bootloader just powers off if i try this. I guess theres no recovery on it now as I cannot boot into it.
Any ideas on where to go from here , EDL? I really didnt want to attempt to open the phone.
Thanks
Try miflash 2019 with stock rom pie latest with edl mode
if bootloader unlocked You can enter edl mode via fastboot with the command 'fastboot oem edl'

Thanks, tried this, says success then just carries on , so i have to disconnect. However when then trying to boot the device it shows Android one logo and if im lucky after a few attempts it goes to the screeen saying Hi There, where you choose your language to set up the phone. However it nows seem to be unresponsve and frozen on that screen.
Im beginning to think its could be hardware issue and phone is just faulty, i really dont want to bin it as its imacculate condition seems a real shame, but it is 3 years old i guess.
Any further help or ideas much appreciated.

Bricked phone, won't turn on/fastboot/recovery

So yeah, I screw up by a lot, but let's see if someone can help me/
I tried to update twrp on my phone and it got bricked, ADB was not seeing the device but Mi FlashTool was with a code but not COM, tried changing the phone drivers brom 900E to QL8000 and it got registered by MiFlashtool as COM and another code, the phone was still showing there even if I could not make the phone go to fastboot mode, just blackscreen; I tried to reinstall stock rom with it but got stuck at "flashing", disconnected the phone, the phone was still bricked in a black screen, when trying to reconnect the phone again to the pc, Win10 now displays an error

, I already tried uninstalling the device, deleting and reinstalling the drivers (unable because for some reason they won't appear now, but already tried installing the from their 1st party and prom MiFlashTool), so the phone won't turn on, display anything, go into recovery/fastboot, and I don't know what to do now, is the phone lost? I hope you can help me with this issue.
Hello Bro. Try install latest Mi Flash Tool latest version and then install the drivers. For my it's works in windows 10.
