When you connect the phone to the PC, does it loader any driver? Use Device Manager to check...
If it loads the QLoader driver, use the "Emergency Mode" in GNQC 1.6.9.0.
If no driver loads, disconnect the phone and press the power button for 30 secs and try again.
If this also fails, wait a day for the device discharge, press the power button for 30 secs and try again...
Let me know how it went...

Try to flash again.
If that messege apears again just press the power button of the phone for a few secs without disconnecting from the PC.
The download should begin. If not change the Mode to Normal and press the power button for a few secs.
Dont disconnect the phone from the PC, cause that messege apears because the GNQC is unable to confirm the state of the phone. By pressing the power button you are refreshing the connecting and the GNQC should detect the state of the phone.
Also you can try this using another USB port on your PC.

MSM8994DownloadTool.exe Won't Work For My OPT

MSM8994DownloadTool.exe Won't Work For Me
I need help.
My phone is stuck on the fastboot screen, meaning I can only Power if off and into Fastboot (using the Vol+ and Power buttons). Other than that, it does nothing. I cannot get into the OS at all, which means I can't enable USB debugging or anything. Fastboot recognizes my device, which is a OnePlus Two), but ADB won't, nor will my Windows 7 PC as a USB device. With that in mind, I followed all the steps in the posted guide. I get all the way to running the "MSM8994DownloadTool.exe" and nothing happens. Its as if the Recovery Tool doesn't even see my device. So, I'm really stuck and don't know what to do.
For clarity, here's exactly what I did (see below). I get all the way to Section B, Step 2 and that's where it breaks down. There's no different line, and no process ever runs, even after waiting 30 minutes. I ran the tool as Administrator, but still no luck. Can anyone help me? Just as additional info, my Mac also does not recognize my OPT as a USB device. Also, I tried my backup USB-C cable from the OEM, with the same results.
A. Install the Certificates followed by the Qualcomm drivers.
1. Restart your computer with Driver Signature Enforcement Disabled (Advanced Startup) Let me Google it For You
2. Open the folder "qc" and install the Test Certificate in the following Stores: Trusted Root, Trusted Publisher, Third-Party Root and Personal
3. Run the Qualcomm setup wizard (also located in the qc folder)
4. When completed, restart your PC again with Driver Signature Enforcement Disabled (Advanced Startup)
5. Turn off your phone and disconnect the USB cable from the phone.
6. Hold vol-up and plug in the USB(Do not press Power button). The screen will stay black but you will hear a sound from windows that a device is attached.
7. The driver should now automatically install. If not, go to device manager and right click "Unknown Device" and click "Update Driver" Search up the QC folder and press ok. The driver should now install. (Got the RELINK issue? Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=46)
B. Flashing Process
1. Open the OnePlus2_14_A.11_151211 folder and open "MSM8994DownloadTool.exe"
2. Look if your phone is detected in the list. everything is Chinese but you will see one row with different chinese text from the rest within the list. If not, recheck if driver is detected in Device Manager (If not, go back to Step A - Line 4).

I think you have a bad download, try downloading it again and download the 3.0.2 version if you can.

I've bricked my op2 a while ago. I'm a real noob so I don't know if it will work but have you installed the adb mac drivers or try "fastboot continue" while in fastboot. Just don't give up and keep try. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

Thank you very much. I have the latest version, but still nothing. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but my OPT wasn't being recognized as a USB device even before I screwed up. That leads me to believe my OPT USB is maybe not functional. ADB doesn't recognize it at, nor will the MP...DownloadTool.exe. I'm guessing it is just hard-bricked since I have no other way (besides USB) to interface with the device.

Try connecting your OPT to some other guys pc and see, it may be because of your pc's end that its not getting connected.
And if the same thing happens with a different pc then yeah your usb port or something is fried. Try going to service center if the same thing happens again.

Bricked phone but can still get into EDL mode

Okay so long story short: I unlocked my bootloader, flashed twrp and things like that and tried to flash lineage. This was all using the Axon 7 tool. I did something wrong and now I can't get into any other mode but EDL mode. The phone shows up in Miflash but I always get some "cant read hello packet error" and it tries to "reset" and end it eventually just stops and gives me an error. Plz help.

I assume you're not on Windows 10 x64? If you aren't, either get a PC with Win10 x64, or do this:
Connect the phone, get into EDL mode. Now go to the Device Manager, and tell me where it appears.
It can appear as:
-"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" under Ports (COM & LPT);
-"ZTE DFU Interface, under Ports too; or
-"QUSB_BULK" under Universal Serial Bus devices or unknown devices.
If it appears as the DFU stuff, you'll have to follow the 4th category brick repair guide. If it appears as QDLoader, right click on it, then Properties, then go to Bits per second and put the number at 115200 or 128000 if it's not there. Then hold the 3 buttons (vol and power) until Windows beeps and the device manager spazzes and the phone flashes the red led, then try MiFlash again.
If it appears as QUSB_BULK, uninstall the driver (tick delete driver software too) and restart edl.

Then do everything I described above or just try another PC. It always happens that one PC can be decided not to let you unbrick your phone for some reason

Is there no other option? is there no other way to at least get fast boot mode back on my phone?

Lol nope, not if EDL is not working for you. You still didn't tell me whether you have a DFU brick or not. If you do have a DFU brick the only surefire way is to disassemble your phone and short a testpad, so don't complain.
Try what I told you above. It may be that it's set at 9600 baud

Okay so long story short: I unlocked my bootloader, flashed twrp and things like that and tried to flash lineage. This was all using the Axon 7 tool. I did something wrong and now I can't get into any other mode but EDL mode. The phone shows up in Miflash but I always get some "cant read hello packet error" and it tries to "reset" and end it eventually just stops and gives me an error. Plz help.

1. You must use "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" driver (there is another one call zidag but it's not work here)
2. As soos as you enter EDL mode, you must press "Flash" as quick as possible

i'm in a similar situation... i did "fastboot oem lock" and now i'm in a loop trying to boot the phone, after the 3time it enters edl (i see the red light).
My model is de G model (2017G) can i use miFlash just to restore the recovery and fastboot?
i had installed lineageOS, when connecting my phone it says that is the U model (2017U) but i think is only a label tag from the rom...
Thansks for the help!!

A 64 bit computer is not really necessary, however it is adviced.
I used a 32bit laptop running Win 10 to rescue mine.
Drivers seem to be a major problem, having the correct up to date drivers is a must.
Also try using Edl Tool and the Axon7 tool kit to access flashing.
Zadig drivers can help in some instances.
With the error you are receiving, have you tried another Edl package?
I was using an Edl package that would not finish flashing either, try a different package and make sure its correct for your phone.
I hope you get it sorted

The hello read package does occur when the phone is not really EDL mode anymore. You always have to restart the phone and boot manually into EDL mode with + - Power and you have to reboot everytime you did or if the hello error happens.
Look under device manager if it says Qualcomm instead of ZTE Device Handset. If that is the case you can build your own EDL cable.
"First I opened the cable and cut the Black and green open, then I connected all the black and green one together and pressed the power button until the red led was gone and 2 additional seconds.
After that I disconnected the modded cable and connected the Phone to the PC with the orginal cable and it showed up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. "
You can install the qualcomm drivers under the MiFlash tab in the latest version.

i finally solve my issue following the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/a2017-4th-category-brick-repair-manual-t3585898 there is also a resume on https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-dfu-unbrick-guide-disassembly-t3731152

- You have black screen and led on so just hold power button then Zuk logo will be flash after that you will get black screen again and again the phone was preparing to reboot but before that the led will get turn off immediately release power button
- You have it Your phone is switched off
(Let it reboot once after that don't leave the power button and after that led will get off for small time this is the time you have to remove finger from power button this is tricky )
2. Going to Bootloader
-Firstly connect the USB to laptop
-after you have switched off your phone press volume up and down together and with holding buttons connect the phone to USB and you will see the fastboot mode
3. Unlock your phone
-Remember the unlock bootloader file in your email re download it and unlock your bootloader again(no need to redownload if you already have it the file is permanent)

Update: Deep flash using Deep Flash Cable And Procedure to make a deep flash cable
Cut the outer rubber and metal covering of usb cable.
Strip a small portion of the black and green wires carefully preferably using a needle to avoid the copper wires to be torn.
Then plug the usb jack into the pc and phone and keep mi flash tool open.
Then touch both the wires(shortcircuit the green and black) using a needle or blunt edge of knief for about 4-5 sec and then remove.
The phone must be in 9008 mode now with COM port open in miflash tool
Now Flash To Your Hearts Content!
After flashing carefully cover the cut portion by putting the rubber casing first and then covering with electrical tape.
So be careful not to tear anything you just need to precisely cut the covering (around 0.5 cm) in the shape of a ring
Happy Flashing!

My hard brick z2 is not even coming up as 900E. Basically computer doesn't detect and no changes in device manager either. Please confirm what to do.
I have tried pressing buttons told by many others and in various other forums. It doesn't work. Does deep flash cable method work even if the phone is not detecting in 900E mode?

You have to boot in proper edl mode...for edl mode hold volume up button 15 second and immediately click power button for .5 sec and attach data cable to phone which is connected to pc and & immediately prees again power button. all while procees alway hold volume up button....

Zuk Z2 Pro Stuck in EDL HS-USB 9008 Port and automatically connecting and disconnect
Hi,
My Zuk Z2 Pro is stuck in EDL 9008 Port. Phone is totally bricked and no sound, no light, no vibration. When i connect with the computer, phone is connecting on HS USB 9008 port and get disconnected after 20-22 seconds and again automatically connected with in half second time.
I am facing this issue after flashing a ZUI 1.9 by using a QPAST/QFIL application. I think i have made stupid mistake by flashing a phone with "ERASE ALL BEFORE DOWNLOAD" option.
I have tried every scenario to get stable this 9008 port but no luck. Since last 5 days i am studying forums and applying every kind of solution but same result.
I am writing this post with high expectations and hope someone will take notice and help me to get rid of this problem.
I can pay through paypal if someone wants to provide professional services to resolve this matter
I will appreciate if someone have any idea and can help me. Thanks

Can someine please help me with this weird situation? Device got disconnected while flashing via qfil. Now no zuk logo nothing. Phone vibrates every 30 sec that's it. Wont even gets recognized by my laptop(no 9008 or 900e port!)

You need to completely poweoff the phone (difficult in hard brick actually) before this procedure i have forgotten the way to do it, was given on zuk.eu i think, dont worry it may take time but these days hard bricks is repairable too.

What do you mean by perfect timing?!?
Never mind. Got my laptop to recognise it and flashed successfully.
Don't know what made it to change its mind!?
What happened?
- was trying to flash and cable got disconnected by accident.
- my phone started to vibrate and blink at the same time for every 30 sec(no zuk logo nothing) and can't seems to be stopped.
- laptop doesn't seems to recognise when device gets connected (no 900e or 9008 port shows up at device manager)
What I did?
- Reinstalled my windows (no problem for me as I only keep system files on partition c)
- Disabled driver verification (windows 10 thing)
- Installed zuk driver, adb , mi tools inside partition c(all inside a folder called zuk)
- used cable that came with phone instead of 3rd party to deep flash

Okay fine, somebody suggested me to flash stock ROM via qpst method, because I was having battery issues, the flashing process stopped, and I forgot to untick clean all and lock, this left my phone with a screen saying, 'unable to boot'. PC is not detecting my device now, but earlier I unlocked bootloader and flashed tw recovery, but I wasn't able to boot to it, and on qpst, my phone is detected as Diagnostic Port 900E.

Can anybody help

Not even coming up as 900E
My hard brick z2 is not even coming up as 900E. Basically computer doesn't detect and no changes in device manager either. Please confirm what to do.
I have tried pressing buttons told by many others and in various other forums. It doesn't work. Does deep flash cable method work even if the phone is not detecting in 900E mode?

I also have the same question and I am in the same situation

unbrick "dead" tablet Lenovo TB 4 10.1 (X304F/L)

I managed to identify the test point on the motherboard.
This allows the tablet to switch from Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E driver mode to Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode.
My tablet could not be booted into bootloader, recovery or system.
Button vibration did not work.
The tablet only logged on to a PC with the Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E driver.
The EDL cable did not help and the buttons of the 900E driver only restarted.
Photos and brief instructions I posted on the Russian forum here:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=849554&view=findpost&p=90398828
I attach the photo here.
Only one hidden test point is connected to the metal frame (needle).

My tutorial on the Russian forum has been updated, missing the source file for MiFlash.
Today it was added.

Downgrade from Android 8.1 to 7.1.1 is possible!
Applies to tablets with unlocked bootloader.
The entire factory clean version must be reinstalled.
Use the same installation and tools as in the introductory link.
It is necessary to install in EDL mode.
To start EDL mode (driver 9008) from a working tablet, follow these steps:
1) Turn off the tablet
2) run the device manager in windows - ports
3) run and set up MiFlash (firmware path,option "save user data")
4) connect tablet to computer (USB)
5) hold all three buttons on the tablet (power+volumeUP+volumeDown) until the 9008 driver loads in the windows manager
6) run "refresh" in MiFlash without delay and immediately afterwards "flash"
It is important to start recording as soon as the driver is loaded, otherwise the input will close even if the driver remains loaded!
If there is a delay in recording, the EDL mode may close and the recording will not work.
In this case, you must start by disconnecting the tablet and turning it off.
The restored tablet remains unlocked (if you have unlocked it previously) while Lenovo updates work.

Hello i want to contact you are you still alive
I want to unbrixk my tab i accidentally deleted aboot.img

Hello i want to contact you
I want to unbrick my tab are you available???

Just to clarify, the test points on the board are the points you see on the board labeled "FORCE, VDD, TX, RX" and can be different sizes.
One such point was hidden under a folded out frame and that is the correct one. Connect this point with a needle to the metal frame and follow the order of operations in the instructions.

Follow the procedure.
After loading 9008, release the checkpoint as soon as possible.
I used XiaoMiFlash (beta).
You need to prepare XiaoMiFlash before taking action.
"Refresh" and "flash" should start immediately after disconnecting the breakpoints.
The path to the XiaoMiFlash firmware should only be "bat" files, not "images".
The fact that the 9008 driver loads in Windows indicates a functional boot.
You "only" need to complete the remaining steps correctly and on time.
If unsuccessful, repeat the procedure by disconnecting the battery.
If you changed the drivers manually, uninstall them first.
Let them download automatically.
There is a risk that this is not the 9008 driver.

You'll still need this:

The files contained in the image folder TB-X304L_S000035_170703_ROW_QFIL.rar need to be put into the inage folder X304L and then use this folder for MiFlash.

I have to thank You a lot. You saved my good old Lenovo. First when I read Your tutorial, I thought that could never ever work. I was exactly same problem as You were. I tried everything, even raindance. Nothing not helped. Two weeks with drivers, softwares, thousand tutorials...etc. But that did the trick! Now when I know How to unbrick totally dead Lenovo, it is actually only 10 minutes and lenovo fired up again.
Actually it is really easy do with linux by using QDL. No driver hassles or timing when connect or similar. I've linux installed, so if someone gonna try this, Live linux from USB stick working as well. User friendly could be for example Linux Mint Mate, Ubuntu...
1. Install Linux Your USB device and boot it by using Your PC.
2. Get QDL flash tool for Your PC (free and very easy to use).
3. Install QDL depencies: libxml2 and libudev (fastboot is optional, if unlocking bootloader same time).
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libudev fastboot
4. Stop modem manager: sudo systemctl stop ModemManager
5. Start flashing : ./qdl --storage emmc --include <Your Whole Stock firmware path> <Firehose path> <RAW program path (xml format)> <patch0 path (xml format)>
Enter and QDL start waiting for EDL device....
Next open second terminal for monitoring: dmesg and as You can see it is coursed 900e mode.
Next disconnect battery and leave it disconnected whole process time. Now it is time to short testpoint. reconnect device to PC when testpoint is shorted and check dmesg . When You'll see it changing 9008 mode. You're ready to start flashing. At this moment QDL still waiting EDL device > Ctrl+C and start over again ./qdl ...etc and flashing starting.
This is how easily You can hard unbrick Lenovo X304F Tab4 10 or X304L.
In my case I accidently Flashed X704 firmware to my device. It went just fine. But when booting, You know. I tought that's it! But It wasn't. Thanks again @StaryMuz.

I'm glad you found my advice helpful. The Linux tutorial is useful and it's good that you posted it.

i ended up bootlooping on the lenovo logo (tbx304L) and locked bootloader
and is it necessary to be on stock 8.1 to downgrade? @StaryMuz
the recovery shows 7.1.1 but still bootlooping

Many of the links for the rescue files are now missing but I will share how I rescued my TB-X304F in 2023. I followed your photo indicating the test point location/ trick along with the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant program.
Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) - Lenovo Support US
support.lenovo.com
1) open the tablet
2) Remove the metal cover
3) Carefully Peel/bend the metal frame around the chip on the right in order to find the hidden test point. It is right under the frame. (the frame should gently move away from the chip, the frame is not difficult)
Now be sure to install the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant program on your PC. Launch it, and look up the tablet's firmware by either S/N or manually looking it up. Download the necessary firmware files within the program until you get to the point of start rescue. Click Proceed, ok, ok, until you get to the screen that says: Find QDLoader COM Port which is asking you to hold the volume +&- but we have already tried that and didn't work so at this point then do the following:
- disconnect the battery
- connect the USB cable to the phone and computer
- Connect the test point with a needle (touch) to the frame and hold
- connect the battery and watch the driver in the windows manager
- as the 9008 driver loads, disconnect the point and let the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant do its thing.
Tablet rescued!
