Hard Brick / Soft Brick ? Help

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.

Phone Doesn't turn on

Hi,
I was using CM13 based Nuclea OS. Tried to Lock the bootloader using the tool provided in this forum. But after that, the phone kep on starting on and off continuously and showing only Zuk Z1 logo after each boot. Then I pressed Vol UP + Vol Down + Power button for some time and the phone switched off. Now I am not able to switch it on. Tried by holding all 3 buttons and power button alone as well. Battery was 90% when I did this. Any clue?
Thanks,
Sarin

Somehow I turned the phone on (tried multiple key combinations and one of them worked). But now the Phone is in a boot loop again, ie. The Logo and 'Powered by Android' message appears after a vibration and then it switches off. This is being coontinued for the past 8 hours.

That is because u have wiped all of ur phones data and phone is bricked now
..Try connecting to pc and install Twrp recovery by going to fastboot

Fastboot was not detecting the phone as it's restarting continuously. Some how I switched off the phone (I Guess I pressed and hold Power button for a very very long time and then released). Then installed ZUI Version using QFIL. Did lot of search to get the Diag Port drivers and after that it detected and installed software.
Now trying to install Original CM 12.1 OS.
Coming to the real problem why I tried to lock boot loader - Now a days all apps started checking whether phone is rooted or not I guess. It's not allowing me to install the SBI Pay App or the new IRCTC App in India. (Though Root is disabled in settings). So is there a way to install CM13/CM14 without rooting the phone.

You can go to developmee option and there is an optiom for enabling root
.. enable it and enjoy apps

I guess you got me wrong. Apps gives error that 'Your phone is rooted, Please un-root to continue'. This shows up irrespective of Root is enabled or disabled in Developer options.

And yes... There is a way for that... Install Xposed. And try RootCloak... It's a root hider app. If it works then great. If not, let me know. There is another workaround.

Followed this tutorial to Flash ZUI Version. But for the Drivers I forgot which link I used. I can upload it to Google Drive and post it here.

Yu Yureka 6.0.1(Marshmallow) open OS Root

I am an Yu Yureka user starting March, 2015. I have waited 2 years to get the Marshmallow update through OTG before getting root. But this new update is full of glitches such as
1. When my phone is switched off and charging no percentage of charge completion is shown.
2. When pictures taken in HDR mode, camera screen turns green and stay like that until the phone is restarted. Also the picture quality degraded.
3. This new update takes away the advanced reboot option which was under the Developer Options( in Lollipop), so there is no way to go into recovery mode without connecting phone to pc through usb.
Now coming to the main part,
4. There is nothing that can root my phone. Starting from phone applications to pc applications nothing can root it.:crying:
5. So I tried the cmd Process by using command window through PC by unlocking my Bootloader first, after that I installed TWRP.
6. When the above processes were successful, I transferred the Supersu Zip file in the internal and external of my phone and then executed them from TWRP. Surprisingly it was also successful.:good:
7. Now when I turned my phone on and checked with 2 different root checker apps, my phone was still not rooted.:crying:
8. Then I probably tried the Supersu installation more than 10 times, factory reset it more than I can even remember but still nothing.
9. My phone developed a new problem that is it randomly reboots itself.:crying:
If anyone knows any solution to the above problems, specially on how to successfully root my Yu Yureka, plz help me. I lost all my hope and confidence.
Thank You for taking your time and reading this.

I don't know if u have done stuffs properly....so here's the thing...IF U R RUNNING LOLLIPOP OR ABOVE!!!!!! then------------
1. Download latest TWRP from the official site and flash it
2. Flash any latest nougat based roms like ---- lineage os, official RR, aosp extended etc. (there r so much astonishingly beautiful roms and i can't name all of them....please don't mind devs )
X. Flash GApps if you want to from here : opengapps.org (arm64,7.1.x,pico variant)
3. Very imp. for you !!!!!!Flash magisk (latest v13.3) from here : (tiny.cc/latestmagisk) and flash it
P.S. Lineage might not support magisk so you have flash there supersu addon which can be found on their official website (in device tree on the left side search for "extras" on the very last option)
Hit Thanks Button if I helped you

Yureka AO5510 Softbricked, Please help

Phone : Yureka AO5510
OS : Wiped Already
Recovery : Cynogenmod
Incident: Once in a sudden phone got stuck (Saw something like "Trebuchet Stopped Working") and I tried to force shut down, After restart the phone was not working. Tried to flash but i got these error messages "E:Footer is wrong" and Signature verification failed (Previously I have used CM12,13 and Lineage OS 14.1 all were working).
Android Debugging was not enabled, I can enter fastboot mode. but not accepting any commands.
Either I have to enable USB Debugging, or Need to overwrite the recovery with TWRP or CWM, so far all flashing resulted with the above error messages.
Any help would be appreciated. Ready to buy a coffee if I succeed (India).

Try to flash cm-12.1-YOG4PAS8A4-tomato-signed-fastboot.zip via fastoot.
It doesn't need USB debugging to be enabled.

Bricked Redmi 2

Hey! I've got some real issues, please read my whole story and try to help me.
So, I've got Redmi 2 (wt80047) and I have installed an custom rom i.e..Atomic OS because that was the best of all, but I was facing issues of LTE network, it automatically disconnects, and then I have to restart my phone like 8-9 times to get the LTE network back , so I decided to switch back to stock ROM, and successfully I have re-installed my stock rom (MIUI8), afterwards I have downloaded some files like Magisk.zip and SuperSU.zip for rooting purpose, but I don't know what happened but my device was bricked, it was not openinig, it was stucked at logo, it was neither going in Fastboot mode nor my pc was detecting the device so I can flash again it with MI Flash tool. The only thing that was happening was that multiples drives were showing on my windows whenever I connect my Redmi 2 to pc like E: drive, F; drive, G, H, I: drive. So i have opened an application (Disk Partition Tool) and deleted all the drives. Then my device was ****ed x100. Now it is totally dead. No response, no powering on, no vibration, no fastboot mode, but now my PC and MI Flash Tool is recognizing it with COM6 (ports), so now whenever I try to flash it. it gives me error "Cannot receive hello packet" and sometimes "Ping target failed". Please Help Me, Pleasee!
Some Things that I have already tried:-
1.Tried every version of Mi Flash Tool
2. Tried chineese and global rom version both
3. Tried QFIL
4. Tried every ports on my cpu
5. Cannot flash it with cmd, coz adb and fastboot both does not recognize my device (Waiting for device...)
6. Pressed the Power button and then flashed it.
7. Remove the battery, short the EDL points, I have tried all the hardware stuff also.
I am stucked in this for like 1 month, and I have only this phone, my parents won't give me a new one.
Help!)

Looks to me the phone was connected to Windows computer in USB-MTP mode, so the computer believed the phone to be a portable media player and/or USB-drive. Deleting partitions always causes a complete data loss. Hence it's not wondering me that the phone actually is dead: you fully wiped it.
