First of all, i live in Bangladesh. I asked a relative of mine who lives in Sweden to buy me this phone. So, there is no way for me to send this phone back to ZTE.
Now let me explain how i got into this huge mess. I installed twrp successfully using this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-install-twrp-unlock-bl-flash-t3517379
i only followed part A of this post. Then i needed to root. so i tried to flash supersu 2.79 first but failed. Then i tried to flash supersu 2.65 as someone commented that they failed with 2.79 but succeeded with 2.65. However, after flashing supersu 2.65 i soft bricked my phone. i could still access twrp 3.0.2. After a while, i downloaded b08 update.zip and tried to flash it through twrp but failed. then i saw this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-root-xposed-safetynet-stock-rom-t3530906
and this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/recovery-official-twrp-zte-axon-7-t3515715
And tried to update twrp to 3.03. which then hard bricked my phone. now i cannot access anything. when i try to start my phone it shows the zte logo for a second and the whole screen goes blank with the red led.
same thing happens with volume up+power and volume down+power. And there is no way to turn the phone off. So, i waited a whole day for the phone to empty it's battery and tried to boot to edl mode using volume up+down but Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader does not appear. The only thing i can get to connecting to my computer is handset diagnostic interface.
Now only a brilliant dev can help me. So can someone PLEASE Help me.
Also i've found this post is very similar to my problem https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/bricked-a2017g-b03-help-please-t3487635

Why can't you boot into EDL mode?
That's strange to me...
Did you try another computer to see if it pops up there?
Then try to reflash recovery if you can...

yes i have. but in the device manager, instead of Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader, Handset Diagnostic Interface appears.
Furthermore, computers does not recognize any adb device when i connect my axon 7
what do i do???
Edit: when i uninstall Handset Diagnostic Interface from device manager and then connect my phone with both volume keys pressed, at first qusb_bulk appears but after automatic installation of hardware software it's Handset Diagnostic Interface all over again
Well I did some Google'ing for you and I guess the things in these threads might be your best bet:
http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/343587-guide-de-bricking-a-zte-blade/ (same thread-ish on XDA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163493 )
http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/337757-update-save-ur-bricked-v880-and-also-the-imei/
However all these methods are not tested with the Axon 7 and seem pretty risky to me...
If I were you I'd send the phone back to Sweden so the relative can send it back to ZTE.
I'm not sure if this falls under the ZTE warranty stuff so they might charge you a bit; anyhow it's still the better option than throwing this phone away I'd say.
I don't think I can really help you here, sorry :s
PS: If you are going to try these risky methods; don't blame me if it goes wrong...
EDIT: You might also want to try to go to the ZTE website and try to get some support from there (customer support, support from the forum/community ther, etc.)
Perhaps they can give you the right tools to unbrick your Axon7

I don't think your phone is in such a dire condition. I was contacted by @raystef66 only last night. He made the same mistake as you did, trying to flash SuperSU via TWRP on a locked bootloader phone. However, he didn't take all steps you took.
If I were you, I'd try to somehow prevent the PC from automatically installing the ZTE DFU (Diagnostics) driver. You say the device appears to be in EDL mode when you connect it (QUSB_BULK) and then it installs new drivers. Can you somehow cancel that process?
Here's a microsoft guide on how to prevent your PC from automatically installing drivers. Maybe try that and reconnect your device. It might get recognised as QUSB_BULK and then you can restore your stock recovery via the Axon7tool? If you can do that, it shouldn't be a lost cause?
Send me a PM with your Hangouts, let's see if I can help.

I have tried this, but axon7tool does not recognize any adb device. When i input adb devices command in cmd there is no device. However, it did get recognized as QUSB_BULK after disabling automatic driver installation through group policy. What do i do??
Edit: after seeing this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/2017g-dfu-mode-investigation-t3511191
i'm really panicking. "Handset Diagnostic Interface" is DFU mode. "handset diagnostic interface (DFU) (ComX)" i just ignored the DFU part when posting. Does this mean i cannot unbrick my phone???
Please Help

You can make Windows to use the right driver so you will be able to use axon7tool. So if you have problems connecting to your phone as QUSB_BULK, download Zadig to your computer and replace your drivers with WinUSB ones. Open Zadig tool, go to Options and activate List all devices. Then select QUSB_BULK in the drop down control at the top and WinUSB in the lower control. Then click on the button to replace the driver. After this, QUSB_BULK should appear in the Device manager and you should be able to execute axon7tool and flash TWRP 3.0.2-2 signed again and continue with the unlock procedure.
If you have the QUSB_BULK with a warning icon then you need to install the Qualcomm usb driver.
All the answers on how to return to a working state or not falling into a soft brick like yours were just in the thread of the guide you didn't complete. Devices with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 are unbrickable. So do not panic, and read the whole thread [GUIDE] [A2017G] Install TWRP, Unlock BL, Flash Custom ROM.

My QUSB_BULK is not with a warning sign. And i have already used Zadig.
At first, i couldn't get past DFU mode. But after following @Controllerboy instructions i am able to get QUSB_BULK in my device manager. But it's all the same.
For axon7tool to work the computer has to first recognize my a2017g as a adb device. That's where the problem is. My phone is not being recognized as an adb device. When i use adb devices on cmd there is no listed device. I have already tried this with other computers but the results are the same.
what do i do??

EDL mode has nothing to do with adb!!!!! adb only connects to recovery or a booted system. fastboot connects to bootloader, and Axon7tool communicates with the EDL bootstrap. In order to use Axon7tool (to flash or backup boot or recovery partitions) your computer has to detect your device as QUSB_BULK. Obviously in that mode adb or fastboot will not find your device in a compatible state.
What can you do?
1. read the whole thread, not just the opening post. As advised.
2. Use Axon7tool to flash the same TWRP 3.0.2-2 you flashed before. It is signed, so the bootloader detects it as a valid ZTE image even when the bootloader is still locked.
3. Unlock your A2017G phone.
4. enjoy flashing and reflashing all the multiple roms, patches, etc.

Sir, i don't u understand my problem properly. Let me give u a thorough description.
When i press and hold the power button the phone vibrates shows ZTE logo for less than a second then the screen turns off and the LED turns red.
When i press volume up+power same thing happens.
When i press volume down+power same thing.
And i cannot power off my phone no matter what i do it always stays at that state until the battery is empty.
Then if i press volume up+down at the same time and insert usb red led turn on.
And when i insert the usb in any of these states only one thing appears on my device manager is "Handset Diagnostic Interface (DFU) (ComX)"
But if i Uninstall Handset Diagnostic Interface (DFU) (ComX) from device manager and disable automatic driver installation through group policy then QUSB_BULK appears with a yellow sign.
If i use Zadig to install winusb driver then the yellow sign disappears.
U r telling me to read the whole thread. I have done so. But in DFU mode adb devices command doesn't list any device. If my computer doesn't see my device as an adb device how can i do anything.
I have also tried to use axon7tool -w recovery command since my device is in qusb_bulk mode. But cmd says no device detected.
2017 DFU mode investigation
Bricked A2017G
These posts have given me a big scare. Since no one has been able to recover from the same condition that i am in right now.
That's why i'm asking the help of experts. Please help me.
I have also came to a conclusion myself that if a tool like this Flashing recovery or this ZTE Open Download Mode or maybe this [TOOL][ALPHA] ZTE Warp 4G Unbrick Tool is not developed then this particular Qualcomm Phone is Brickable.
I am saying this because after a good amount of googling i came to know that when qualcomm phones are bricked it goes into emergency download mode which shows as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" or "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9006" on device manager. And there are a lot of guides to unbrick from that state. But only old ZTE devices go into "Handset Diagnostic Interface (DFU) (ComX)" mode aka DFU mode.
And there are different guides for different models.
This is why i am panicking and asking for the help of experts. If there was a guide to recover from this state this post wouldn't exist. So if u can, please help.
And sorry for my english, i tried my best.

Thank you for the link. But i tried this miflash tools weeks ago.
Here is the full guide in my opinion for the mi flash tool.
http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick...-you-have-the-right-kind-of-rom-qhsusb_dload/
Unfortunately, the A2017G does not have 9008 port. It has ZTE's own Handset Diagnostic Interface (DFU) (ComX) for which i need the latest version of ZTE firmware flasher. At the moment only ZTE have this. So, my bricked phone is a lost cause.
Hey guys, I have a A2017 axon 7, and I tried to upgrade from Marshmalow to nougat by flashing the B04 update from TWRP. I have now the factory recovery mode, and when I try to go in fastboot, it tries to launch the bootloader( which just tells me that my device software cannot be checked for corruption and that I need to lock my bootloader). When I try to boot normally it stays on the same "bootloader screen" and tells me to press the start button which makes the phone display the linux logo.... I'm a bit lost, I'm on ArchLinux could you pls help me ?
Thx !

Well, you should use MiFlash and install the stock system through EDL. The problem is that MiFlash is for Windows x64. if you could get a win10 x64 pc, you could fix it in a minute.
Or get to the recovery if you can, and flash Nougat again but via an SD card. But maybe you won't be able to get to the recovery mode

I need help! I wanted to relock the bootloader but then I coulnd't enter the recovery or fastboot anymore. When I press any combination it always turn on for 1 sec and then the screen turns off again but it still GOT recognized as QUSB Bulk. After I installed MiFlash the device is recognized as QDLOADER 9008. I didn't flash anything and I don't kno how to unbrick my device now .
I use the A2017G model btw.

How did you relock the bootloader? If you used a guide, you should have found a warning, and if you used axon7toolkit a message should've popped up.
You messed up. Real bad. You are probably on DFU mode, and the only ways to get out of there are:
-discharge the battery completely and try to enter FTM mode (i think you have to do that while it is connected to a PC), I think it was with volume down + power. this method works for very few people. If you enter ftm mode, issue 'adb reboot edl' and use MiFlash right away with a FULL_EDL package
-use the 4th category brick repair manual (disassemble the phone, short some pins)

I think DFU Mode is when I get recognized as ZTE Handset diagnostic .... according to this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/a2017-4th-category-brick-repair-manual-t3585898) It's a2017 but still.
"Axon 7 restore manual from bricked conditions when only ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) (COM...) mode is detected"
But I get recognized as QDloader 9008 and miflash also recognizes it as com10 or something.

it's not necessarily like that. DFU mode is just a mode in which the phone can be. Sometimes Windows just installs the QDLoader driver even though it's not EDL. and if you tried miflash and it didn't work, then it's most probably that.
There's a way to check. If you go to Properties, there should be a number that identifies the mode. if you google it and 'dfu interface' appears, then you are dfu-bricked
But if you locked the bootloader without being fully stock then it's most probably dfu bricked anyways
Again, how did you lock the bootloader?
I don't actually know if I really locked the bottloader.
So, I had unlocked bootloader and twrp. I just bootet into the bootloader, typed "fastboot oem lock" in adb and it said OK on the PC.
But on the phone it never asked me if I want to lock it or anything. And I never said MiFlash isn't working. It recognizes my phone but i judt didn't TRY to flash anything because I didn't want to make the situation even worse perhaps

But on the phone it never asked me if I want to lock it or anything. And I never said MiFlash isn't working. It recognizes my phone but i judt didn't TRY to flash anything because I didn't want to make the situation even worse perhaps

Lol it doesn't ask you if you want to lock it, that's the point with bootloader mode. there's no system, no UI, and you make stuff via commands.
This is why you shouldn't even attempt this kind of stuff without knowing how it works. At least if you had used axon7toolkit, it would've told you not to.
Find a FULL_EDL package for your model. If you have an A2017, simply use this one:

or
https://mega.nz/#!JqwEUDCa!lW3NDaBNbmMxhtw6XajspHBJaaEmLC8uNvMZS5ww0EQ
(they are the same file)
Unzip it, leave the folder somewhere handy, put the phone in what you believe is EDL, open MiFlash and select the folder, and flash

Yeah, I screwed up, I know. But what is the point of flashing a full edl package for the phone if I have to put the phone in "what I believe id edl mode"?
And what shall I do if I succeed at something? Besided that, I can't find any EDL package for the A2017G?

Okay let me tell you this real straight. I have done this. I have the G packages, I just thought you were the op for some reason. Look at the back of the phone and confirm whether you have an A2017G or an A2017 just in case, or you might mess up even more, as hard as that can be.
at any rate, your fears are all dumbfounded, because in the situation that you are in, you have 3 options:
a) disregard all the help that i'm trying to give you, even though I have already done the process; and keep your brick on a shelf.
b) search on google or xda yourself, then do the process, without bothering here with your lack of trust
c) follow my advice and do the damn process
Whichever option you choose, I'm gonna leave the package here:

Again, I HAVE FOLLOWED THE 4TH CATEGORY BRICK REPAIR GUIDE AND FIXED MY G. I flashed stuff through EDL at least 10 times. And there wouldn't be a bunch of EDL packages for the G if they had a 100% chance of bricking your phone
So. If you decide to do this, turn your phone off. connect the USB cable to the PC but not the phone. Hold both volume buttons (but not the power button) and insert the USB cable at the same time. Then fire up MiFlash and try to flash the file (you have to unzip the folder, then select the folder on miflash, then flash. Here 2 things may happen:
a) it flashes and you can just go bother someone else
b) it doesn't and you have to follow the 4th category brick repair guide
Simple as that. if it fails, you might want to check if the 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008' is actually EDL mode or DFU mode, so you can do that by going to properties and checking some device identifier number on google (haven't done that, i just read that it can be done somewhere here).

THANKS SO MUCH , you saved my ass, it flashed without a problem and sorry for bothering you. Bootloader is locked now and it works fine. Thanks again!
I tried to install TWRP recovery and then flashing something without first doing a factory reset and now my phone won't turn on. I get nothing on the display when holding the power button or power + Vol. Down. Device Manager detects the phone only as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
I've read about flashing with EMMC but I get an error message that says "Open rawprogram.xml fail!". I don't know where to find a rawprogram.xml. I have the stock rom and have flashed it before myself through ADB fastboot commands but I don't know what to di in this situation. Please help!

You bricked it. Many others have done the same thing to theirs by flashing the wrong firmware.

I think you can just use a blankflash file. I even used the one for 1767 one on my 1768 when I bricked mine by accident (had the exact same symptoms as you, no bootloader, nothing). Got it form here: https://forum.kingfirmware.com/thread-4419.html
Hi internet,
I obviously need help. I accidently bricked my 6T again and it seems to be permenant. I tried to used the MSMdownloadtool but the tool can't detect the device. And the device is in a Qualcomm CrashDump Mode. It shows Attempted to kill init! exit code=0x0000000b do_exit. I got to go but is there a way to fix this.
You must post in Q/A not here

You can restore you device using fastboot rom. Search for oos 6t fastboot rom.. There are guides for installation.
P.S. It will give a whole bunch of error in the cmd during installation but don't interrupt the process as your device will be restored in the end
Use Mnm tool to fix your phone. It can fix hard brick devices and guidance is there how to use .
PS: this is not right place post next time post on Q/A section.
Hold all the buttons down till it shuts off, almost a full minute. Then get it to boot to fastboot, power off. Then start up msm, then while phone is unplugged and off, hold both vol buttons for a 4 count, then plug it in. Msm will day connected, hit start. Let it finish and reboot. that's all
Qualcomm crashdump is not the same as download mode, and will not work with MSM. You still need to put your device manually into download mode.

Hold down every button till it shuts off, then force reboot to bootloader, then select power off to make sure it's off. Then do as I instructed above to fix it. Sometimes u can just run a fastboot rom to fix it, or boot twrp and flash a rom. I do this multiple times a day sometimes.

Thanks everyone who replied. The whole thing started when I tried to update my TWRP the wrong way and I got nothing better to do. I was on 3.2.3-1 and the newest on the website (TWRP) was 3.2.3-2, but I flashed the image instead, into vendor. This got me into the Qualcomm CrashDump Mode and it kept on rebooting to it as well. There was no way that I was be able to use the MSMDownload tool to recover my 6T as the tool couldn't detect my device as it was connected as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E not Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008.
I pressed all the buttons and got into FASTBOOT mode! Then I booted TWRP, luckily all my stuff isn't corrupted and I did a Nandroid backup beforehand as well. So, I just restored my Nandroid backup and voila I got my 6T back. Thanks again everyone

Everybody, it's called the MSMDownload Tool. It cannot be used in Fastboot Mode or Qualcomm CrashDump Mode, it can only be used in EDL Mode (Emergency Download Mode).

If your using windows search for device manager to see what your device is being detected as. Try and reboot if your device isn't Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008. Once it shows that try and update the driver, but you'll need to be a admin. Have you installed Oneplus USB Drivers?

Help I can not get in to fastboot mode. Im stuck in Crashdump mode. Even when i power off the phone holding powerbutton down for a while it will powerup again and the unlocked bootloader warning window with "press power key to pause boot" will not react to any presses.
Also booting and holding down power+down will result in the same and go to crashdump mode.
What do I do

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!
