MiFlash taking a loooooooong time. Is that nomal?

On my Axon A2017U (B19) I unlocked the bootloader, and in the process of flashing TWRP, appear to have bricked my phone. It won't boot past the initial ZTE screen, sits there for a second or so, and then just goes black. It look like it is in EDL mode, as I can see it in the COM ports in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM 10)". No matter which key combination I try, it keeps going back to this state.
I saw a suggestion that I try another version of MiFlash, with the B15 full EDL package. It seems to be running, but it's been going for over 50 minutes now, and only shows 5-10% complete. The Status message hasn't changed in 45+ minutes. See attached screen shot.
Is this how it is supposed to run? If not, is there a "clean" way to stop the process and try again? Thanks!

OK, I reset and used the 2016.08.30 version of MiFlash. I was able to flash the B15 full package, and I'm back in business.

Non Hacked/Rooted 6p Shut Off And Will Not Turn On

bought this phone used and I don't think it was rooted but never checked, confirmed. Last night it turned off and will not turn on anymore..
Tried the pwr button for several minutes and no change. Plugged it in with several different cables and no change.
Any other suggestions or options? USB to computer detects something but says it can't install the driver.
Any ideas?

Can you enter to the bootloader menu? Maybe you can enter recovery and wipe the cache and dalvik

negative, either the phone is totally dead or the screen is dead but NOTHING happens when pwr is pressed
here is what I have tried:
1. Press and hold PWR button for over 3minutes
- Plugged in and unplugged into ac - no change
2. Press and hold volume DOWN + Pwr for over 3minutes
- Plugged in and unplugged into ac - no change
3. Plugged into different a/c power outlets with 2 different chargers - no change
NOT sure what else to try or do?
Funny thing is if ya plug into a computer it does indeed detect "something'
However it says it can't load the USB drivers something about QU_***
Open to any ideas and suggestions.. WHILE I would love to get the phone working whats more high priority for me now is the 20gb's of pics that apparently did NOT back up.

Funny thing is- that "something" is the solution to your problem. Capture the error message completely and search the 6P forums for that. Several threads on the "something" issue.

Several threads with no solution. I went through the same "something" . Can't be fixed

fixed that issue, aka QHSUSB_BULK is now working properly according to Device Manager.. but Nexus 6P is not detected, and doesn't even show up in Disk Management either.
Any other ideas?
please advise..

If you found the right EDL_9008 thread, there is Qualcomm software to download for your PC. If your phone is in the right downloader mode you can use the PC software with a special recovery.img. I don't know anything about it, just read through the threads long ago. It's a mixed bag with some success stories, some not. Keep looking though, I think you are on the right track. The original poster was "Tenfar" if I recall correctly. Good luck.

Try cleaning out the charging port.

Hi there,
I think we are in the same/similar boat. My phone shut off while using it (screen froze, then went black) and seems to have bricked itself. I *am* able to get mine to turn on, but only about once per day after it has been left plugged in for a few hours (although there is no indication it is charging while plugged in - never gets warm, no lights, etc.) I can get into recovery if I am lucky (usually get to the android bot laying on its back, then PWR+VOLUP just causes the phone to shut off instead of actually getting into recovery menu.) I've been able to clear cache/factory wipe from recovery menu with no luck. I never did unlock the bootloader so I am unable to use fastboot to do anything. I tried to flash a few OTA (full and incremental) images using adb when I am able to get into recovery, but they always failed in one way or another.
I've been trying the methods described in the 'tenfar' threads - using the xiaomi flasher and QPST tools. The xiaomi tool always fails for me. I have been able to get the QFIL tool to successfully 'download' about 3 times now, with tenfar's recovery images. However, after the success message, the phone doesn't do anything (I read in other threads it should reboot itself) - and after unplugging, the behavior of the device seems to be the same - just stuck and won't turn on at all.
Right now I think I am stuck in 'EDL' mode where the only evidence that the device isn't completely dead is that it shows up in device manager as 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)', and the factory imager tools do recognize it.
It *seems* like the only way forward is to somehow get one of these factory tools to flash the right set of files onto the device - I've tried a few now with no luck. I even tried extracting the relevant *.img files out of the google factory image download and replacing tenfar's image files with them. I was able to load those onto the device with QFIL. This morning my attempt at turning on the device has me stuck on the white google logo, which is new behavior for me - usually it shows the logo for ~5-10 seconds then the device powers off. I've left it on for a while stuck on the white google image, but I'm not sure if I'm doing anything useful here.
Here are my reference threads:
tenfar's 'debrick' thread
QFIL thread
If anyone has any crazy ideas, I am open to try them. Thank you.

Maybe disable big cores?

I have the 100% same issue. Screen froze,then went black and now its stuck in EDL mode. I need my data. Recovery access or anything else would be fine/enough for me. I have had LineageOS and TWRP on the device. With TWRP i can access my data.
How have you got your device on? Mine dont start once a day or so. Its always in EDL mode ( 9008 ).

Sorry bud - I never was able to get any further than when I posted this. I eventually gave up, got a full out of warranty refund through my CC after the manufacturer wouldn't help me at all, and upgraded to a Pixel XL. I still do have the device, I should try to boot it up again . I didn't have any data concerns on my device so I was able to give up... good luck!

Bricked phone

Hello, i think my phone is completely dead. Here's what happened : i wanted to go back to a stock ROM so i used MiFlash, but it gave me an error really early after a couple seconds (modem flash error i think) and now it doesn't respond. When i connect it to my PC nothing happens (nothing in device manager). The only sign of "life" is that when the battery is low (i think that's the case), the LED starts flashing RED until the phone runs out of juice. Any ideas? I already tried charging the phone all the way up and then discharging it completely(those are the only things that seem to work as they should) but the phone seems completely dead. I had a similar thing happen to me before on my older Xiaomi phone but that time my PC at least managed to detect it in device manager as qdloader 9008 (EDL mode) but that just doesn't seem to work now. Would shorting the test points work to make it go into EDL mode or is it a lost call? The bootloader was unlocked before flashing and i chose the option in MiFlash that doesn't lock it again. Thanks for anything. EDIT: Phone sent to a repair centre.

assistance needed

i attempted to root my zte maven 3 with zpst for at&t and when the device went to restart the screen stayed black and no matter what key combinations i try i cannot get the screen to turn on. The only thing the phone does is connect to the pc and makes that connection noise. it connects as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. does anyone have any advice or suggestions that might help

Did you make any partition backups in QFIL by any chance? If not, I have no idea how one would go about fixing it. What's your bootloader version? I can try to give you my partition backups and you can try flashing it and seeing if it'll boot.
Tbh I should write my own rooting guide, because the existing methods are, quite frankly, ****ty and dangerous. To anyone reading this, please open QFIL and make a backup of all of your device partitions before messing with anything; this is basically creating a bit-for-bit backup of the storage itself, such as the persist partition, userdata, system, etc. I had to buy a for-parts Maven 3 from eBay because I bricked my Maven 3 using the same guide...
And don't use ZPST from now on. You don't need it. Everything can literally be flashed as a partition in QFIL easily. This is how I safely flashed a Magisk boot image (partition) and half-working TWRP recovery partition.

Your device is in EDL mode. It's the only mode that connects as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, and EDL mode doesn't display anything on your device screen. Just take the battery out for a second and you should be able to boot normally.
I'm going to post a new thread in this forum as soon as I send this, where I'll run down the steps I took to achieve root on my Maven 3 just this morning. I've powered off and booted up about 5 times since rooting and it's still rooted.

I have edl mode no boot no screen no lights, what do do next. I tried removing battery no luck

I am unsure of what you can do because iirc i faced the same issue. I have full partition dumps for my current maven 3, some of which (except for example persist) I can send and you can try flashing it using QFIL since your device sounds like it's in EDL mode

[solved]Bricked my OP6t on A11 while tinkering, stuck in boot loop (?hard bricked), windows 7 doesn’t detect Device as Qualcomm device

I was on A11.1.1.1 , when I decided to root my device. Tried to install Twrp but failed, then unlocked boot loader and flashed magisk using Adb from my windows 7 desktop. Phone restarted, went into bootloop, then restarted naturally - however I couldn’t turn on Wi-Fi. Downloaded SuperSU, which showed device was rooted. In an attempt to revert back to stock os, I flashed another boot image, and phone went into continuous boot loop. So I searched the web and downloaded Qualcomm hs-usb QDloader 9008, and MsmDownload tool v 4.0 in an attemp to unbrick my device and installed them. However, my desktop doesn’t recognise my phone as Qhusb_bulk or as Qualcomm qhusb qdloader9008 in devicemanager. So I m unable to use the MSM tool to un brick my phone. Tried reinstalling the drivers on desktop , but the phone doesnt show up on device manager still. Only shows up as “pci simple communications controller” under other devices.
When i turn on my phone, it shows the OP logo going round and round for 5mins, then the screen goes blank. If I keep the power off button pressed for quite sometime, phone restarts into boot loop again. Can’t get into boot loader, nor does adb on my desktop recognise the device.
i m at my wits end as to how I m gonna unbrick my phone, as this is my primary phone. Kindly guide me step by step as to how to unbrick my OP6t. Any help is appreciated.

When you get it to reboot did you try holding volume down as it starts? Should get you into recovery then bootloader.

Also get magisk to root rather than SuperSU. You can install twrp from magisk in oos with the correct installer but first you have to root correctly with modded boot.img. Can make your own or get from the one post in here. I'd suggest getting the newest oos also.

Probably need to flash a stock boot of 11.1.1.1 to unbrick. You can try booting to the newest twrp from fastboot I'm not sure if it works anymore.

Couldn’t fastboot into twrp, since device got corrupted while trying to flash multiple things. Thankfully while tinkering, my desktop recognised my device as qhusb qloader 9008, and all I had to do was boot my device into edl mode (which was also a pain tbh!). After trying numerous key combinations and timing it perfectly, device booted into edl and I could use the msm download tool to unbrick my device. Now device has rebooted into iOS 10.3.5 (same version as msm tool version) and I have somehow breathed a huge sigh of relief that my device could be resuscitated. Will be updating to 11.1.1.1 now (I see the latest is 11.1.2.2) and setting up my device now.
Thank you a lot for looking into my issue and suggesting solutions. In my younger years, I was a technology enthusiast and often rooted/flashed, but have pursued medicine since then. Now am out of touch completely to the tech scene and it was a grave blunder on my part to have used my primary driver to try and root/flash again.
Have a great day, my friend and please know that it means a lot to me to have received help from the community.

This happen to me several times and the first time it happened I thought my phone would not be unbricked after numerous attempts with the msm tool!
My issue was that my phone was a renewed amazon phone and amazon listed it as a unlocked international but it actually was a t-mobile variant and when i downloaded the correct msm tool with firmware it worked!
You need to get the phone into edl mode. For edl, when phone off press both volume buttons and plug in the usb while connected to your pc and the qualcom driver should pop up in device manager. After that finding the right msm firmware will be your next issue but with enough searching you should find it!
Let me know your progress with the driver and I can try and post some links to different msm firmware for the oneplus 6t!
