Hi, I get this phone yesturday... I've installed last firemware ( 6.0 to 7.0.1 ) and after I tried with Tuliptool to install recovery but after this my phone dont show recovery when I tried so I was thinking I've forget to Unlock it before... and obvously I tried to unlock ( with tulip ) but I got error message in cmd ( I don't remerber... ) and now it show only Zte and it bootloop on it so I didn't have recovery, I can't use edl because I can't boot.. so there is something I can do or I bricked it in less than 1 day.. ? :S
Got the same problem
EDL can only be entered once the phone is completely off. You need to hold down volume up + volume down and then plug in the usb cable (dont touch the power button). The phone wont do anything, it will still look off but you will hear the device plugged in tone in Windows and will be able to find the device in zadiag. Also after a few attempts Windows stopped showing the device and I had to restart Windows before it worked again. Can you get this far?

no my phone is just showing ZTE when it is booting then just instant turns off and starts again showing ZTE and it is doing that until the battery is empty
I did have that before, I'm not sure the exact combination I used, charge it up and then remove the cable, hold the power button and either the volume up, or volume down or both for anywhere between 5 and 20 seconds before letting go and seeing if it stays off. If it doesn't work try again and again and again, Its completely trial and error and took me a while to get it to work

I'm not quite sure but on the European version of the Axon you can't do that by holding the buttons.
I understand that the only way to get in edl mode is software, no other choice than rebooting from the OS using the command adb reboot edl. So if you can't make your device completely started first, i guess it's bricked. But maybe i'm totally wrong.

I also messed up mine. I did everything until I had android 7, rooted, but lost IMEI. then I, THE IDIOT, tried to re-flash stcok android 6......booom. bricked.......
however.........power the phone off:
hold vol- power for 10 secs. phone should boot into FTM. then power it off by pressing power for about 5 secs. phone is off.
now vol+power and the phone should go to recovery, even if stuck on the logo, my pc reads it as recovery in adb devices......
tomorrow I'll see if I can get out from there. my experience doing this before is that from the recovery the ADB reboot edl works
cheers
Hello, he flashed with my flash in EDL mode my Xiaomi Mi A1 and after about 400 seconds to success, my surprise is the phone is not only flashes the LED when connected in EDL mode to the PC.
In addition, there is no series of commands with the volume and power button, a part that has been tested to charge the battery, disconnect and connect it ..
I tried flashing the stock firmware via ODIN but the process failed and now my tablet is dead and not responding to power button + vol up/down, nothing happens.
When I hook up the tablet to the Samsung charger that can with it or my PC, the tablet boots into download mode and shows the "an error occurred while updating the device software" message and then starts after about 1 sec. It's been charging all night, so the battery should be 100%.
If I hold the vol up+down is shows the long press to unlock the bootloader for about 1sec then reboots.
Any help to force my tablet to stay on and a way to fix my issue ?
same thing happens with mine (after trying to flash firmware via odin)
reboots over and over without letting you stay in download mode
i have mine in edl mode
It maybe in a black screen of death. Either vol up or down and power for at least 10 seconds. I had this happen to me once.

how do we boot the tablet into EDL mode? shouldn't we be able to unbrick the phone if we're in EDL mode?
Hoping someone can shed some light. Rushing to root phone again to send back warranty replacement, in my haste my laptop died mid flash and now can only boot in Fastboot and Crashdump Mode.
I am attempting to restore to factory via the MSM tool but cannot for the life of me enter EDL mode.
With phone powered off and pressing the vol up and down keys while plugging into the PC, it only enters Fastboot mode
I have tried to do it with phone off, rebooting from Crashdump mode, from fastboot and it seems that no combination allows me to do so.
I have also tried just vol up and vol down. App loaded at the flash screen, not loaded, etc.
Thanks in advance

What I did when I was in Crash Dump Mode was,
Press and Hold Power Off and Volume Up button and release when the screen goes off. Now your phone is switched off. Now to enter the EDL mode you need to press and hold volume up and volume down buttons at the same time...and then connect the mobile to pc while still holding the buttons. Done. MSM tool will detect your phone.
NOTE : Also keep the Device Manager window open on the PC while u connect the phone to pc and check if it shows up there.

It always seems to take me several tries to get it right. I think if I don't hit the vol +/- keys right at the exact time that's the problem. Just be patient and keep trying. The first time I did it, it took me what seemed forever. Thought maybe my phone was broken.

Hello Folks. So i have found myself in this situation as well. MY phone wont go off and keeps restarting to CrashDump Mode. As such can't seem to get into EDL mode inorder to flash. Any tips? I have tried all the above methods nothing seems to work. Is there a different key combination or a fastboot command i can use to achieve EDL? Help a brother i'm going nuts. Device IN2020

You just need to keep trying it. Make sure you hit vol+/- at the same time and hold for a few seconds, plug in the USB cable, then let off the vol keys. It's difficult to do and get right with two hands. Recently did it again as I wanted to upgrade to the 11 beta from a clean system. Seems like it took me forever to get it this time but eventually I did.
Use usb 2.0 port.
After using 2.0 instead of 3.0 and the phone connected stable for a while (after many tries)
able to finish the msm operation successful ..
But phone not booting .. getting black screen after 1+ logo
at this point I thought to clear cache but My phone is locked I cannot use any recovery .. I cannot even go into oneplu recovery LOL .. It seems like I am doomed
For me personally I could only get it to work on USB2.0 ports. On USB3.0 it just puts me back into fastboot mode or when it does go into EDL MSM tool just fails with a communication error immediately.
I kinda bricked mine as well messing around with GSI ROM's and flashing too hastily and to the wrong partition lol.
It has always worked for me with USB 2.0 port and non oneplus cable.
originable cable would not work for me on usb 3 or USB 2 port, but 3rd party cable start immediately with USB 2 port.
I've had the issue where EDL mode works..... for a few seconds, then the phone reboots.
Very frustrating!
The MSM Download Tool does spot the phone, but since the phone seems to reboot, I don't have enough time to do anything!
Any ideas why this is happening?

You need to already hit start on msmtool BEFORE plugging in phone
1- start MSM tool (prepare the settings and choose the right oos)
2-keep the cable connected to one end (I prefere to keep it connected from the phone side first)
3-keep holding volume up/down for 3-4 sec and connect the other end of the cable to your PC
4-your device will be connected directly stop holding volume up/down and in msm tool press start wait for ≈300 sec
5-now your device should work as it was before

After rebooting my pc, and fiddling with drivers, I got it all sorted finally.
Thanks for your help, folks.

This is a royal pita! I remember when it used to be fun....
Anyway, I've been trying every trick in the book, and then some, but shiznit just isn't going right! The holding of the up and down buttons would be easier if this was the pixel, but it is a tad hard to not mistakenly hit the power button on the other side.
The device manager shows the Qualcomm QDLoader and the msm Downloader is showing the infamous waiting for device... I've been at it for 8 straight hours and if there was a local OnePlus store that sold the international version of the OP8P, that's where I would be heading in a few hours.... It's really frustrating to say the least.
Anyway, when I'm in the bootloader, the device manager shows the Android phone, so I'm thinking that maybe I am in the edl mode when the Qualcomm port shows up, but like I said, the msm is waiting....
tried everything and it is constantly booting into bootloader. I even tried an adjusted fastboot script to boot into EDL but it still boots into bootloader. I have booted into EDL before on a OnePlus 7T, and I have tried multiple times by pressing the OnePlus 8 pro volume buttons at the same time, but always bootloader. Just to check, I tried doing it on my OP 7T again and it worked perfectly fine. Help????
I have had to flash stock 4 times because I land in crash dump mode and it has always been a tricky situation to get into edl.
What worked for me 100% of the time was following the steps in the youtube guide below.
From 2:30 onwards
Hope it helps
I had the same issues, but fixed once read comments as per above. Let me summarize what I did:
1. installed driver Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (I'm using Windows 10) - driver in a cab file should be unpacked using command expand (with proper switches) to preserve folders.
2. launched MSM DT and had it configured and then pressed Verify\Start, as EDL is available only for very short time - 2-3 secs with screen turned off.
3. as my phone was stuck in booting loop I was just keeping presses Vol+/- waiting for EDL to be entered, MDM will find the phone and start uploading data.
Just don't give up trying.

Try different ports. My usb 3 port would force it into fastboot but usb 2 was fine.
What to do if the device doesn't have any usb 2.0 port?
