Nexus 6P hardbricked, black screen

Hi, i dont know what happened before this state but now it is not booting and anything show on the screen. Device Manager shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Can this phone work normally or it is fully dead? Thanks in any case.

You can always get it up and running as long as it's only the software issue. Have you tried using the Wugfresh Toolkit/ any other toolkit and connecting your phone? Have you tried to reboot to bootloader or recovery?
If you haven't already, press and hold volume up + power button until you see the bootloader then connect your phone to your PC and install the toolkit of your preference and install the stock Rom, follow onscreen instructions on your PC. Hope this helps.

I would try this with pleasure but its always black screen anytime. And phone recognized by computer only in that mode that i described

It is definitely hard bricked. QDloader mode = Hard Brick. But if Google has released the blankflash files for the N6P (Idk if they have or not), then you can recover.

This is the closest I found related to your issue, however this is the guide to resolve the same issue but for the Nexus 5 Hammerhead. Someone needs to confirm if the N6P images can be flashed with the same method.

The boarddiag tool is specific to LG devices. It will be of no use here.
This is the first post I've seen for Angler that has a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. If it starts to happen more people will start to look into a fix. Until then I'm afraid the OP is bricked.

I'm having similar issues. For some reason I can't get passed the white Google screen. I can see the phone when I plug it in, wugfresh toolkit can even flash it back to stock. Yet, it won't go past the Google,in white, loading screen.

Have you installed TWRP, have you been able to boot into recovery/bootloader via ADB?

What I meant was the phone is not completely dead. It's in a state of coma but not dead. There's a way, it could take time but this can always come back to life, but the OP will have to wait for device and storage specific files and the boarddiag/ tool to reflash image files manually.

I would like to know what did you do to cause the phone to brick? I got the phone a week ago and I'm thinking if I should root or not. I became scared after I bricked my Moto X 2014 and there's still no blankflash files for it :crying:

I did it myself, was trying to patchrom miui for the phone and must have used a wrong boot file or bootloader file, corrupted emmc.
first time i've ever hard bricked a phone and been flashing stuff for years, once you follow guides and use tested files you should be fine. found someone here in ireland to repair it for me. Only one huawei repair centre here

Recently found myself in the same predicament.

[Solved] A2017G totally Bricked

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

if only i could boot into edl mode

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.

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.

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.

A2017G bricked with Lineage OS and Twrp

Hullo,
I succesfully installed Lineage with no problems in the OS, but was unable to access TWRP as it asked for a decryption pattern that didn't seem to match the pattern I set on my phone. I then tried a password in the OS but this also didn't work in TWRP.
After checking the thread again, I found Unjustified had recommended the TWRP found in his bootloader, which I then downloaded and proceeded to install via fastboot. The installation appeared to go smoothly but after that I was unable to turn on my phone.
After pressing the power button I am presented with either the battery icon or the ZTE logo, which disspears after a few seconds followed by three flashing red lights. The last flashing light seems to be cut off part way.
I thought this might be a dead battery but even after charging for an extended period of time the result is the same.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hullo,
I succesfully installed Lineage with no problems in the OS, but was unable to access TWRP as it asked for a decryption pattern that didn't seem to match the pattern I set on my phone. I then tried a password in the OS but this also didn't work in TWRP.

Your phone doesn't seem to be bricked at all.
That was a known issue many G users encountered...
Just boot into TWRP by pressing Power and volume + or choosing it from the bootloader warning screen and reflash the universal B15 N bootloader.
Reboot your phone and from now on it should boot every N rom just fine :fingers-crossed:
Good luck,
Martin

I'm glad to hear it is quite common, but I should mention that the three lights persist when I try to load TWRP... I can only get as far as the ZTE logo.
The bootloader warning also hasn't shown since I attempted to flash TWRP as the phone appears to cut off after showing ZTE.
I will try an overnight charge in case the battery is completely empty and somehow slow charging. But any other suggestions are most welcome.
Kind regards,
James

You should try some button combinations like
Power + volume down
Power + volume down + volume up
And see how the device reacts
It helps connecting the device to a PC to look up in device manager to determine the mode its booted in

Thanks for the continued help.
I was just trying to connect it to the PC and appear to have made some headway, it started off showing up as qusb_bulk, but after repeatedly deleting that driver I returned to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM6).
As I understand axon7root *should be able to write to the device at this point.
Does this device name give any indication as to the problem?
I wonder if miflash could be used on a G model to unbrick it. I'm happy to restart from stock files.

As you are in EDL now you have some options.
First I would try to flash a recovery and boot image that is proven to be working fine e.g official twrp https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/recovery-official-twrp-zte-axon-7-t3515715 or some A2017G stock boot.img
If that doesn't help you could get in contact with @jcadduono to be a tester for that miflash method. (As your device is already pretty badly bricked)
I don't exactly know how EDL flashing works if it depends on a exact GPT table or not.
But I can say that I flashed every single part of the A2017U bootloader except for NON-HLOS (modem) on my A2017G for each B29 and B15 and it worked just fine. So maybe we just have to exchange the modem file in the EDL package :silly:
If you don't want to take that risk you also could try sending it back to ZTE and hope they don't check the bootloader :fingers-crossed:
(Just a thought: Maybe if the EDL package won't work on your device it will be so heavily damaged ZTE can't check for bootloader unlock and accept it as a warranty case, but don't take that too seriously )

Martin

If you are not afraid then try to use my package for A2017G with MiFlash: https://mega.nz/#!88BjXKhA!TnVSobBw5PkmShSqZ-Ni8MCCbnhJP2SWRNvvXqYHSjc

I really appreciate all this advice!
Looks like the MiFlash is promising. I was able to load the phone into MiFlash from the [EDL] thread. I have just tried the A2017G package provided by djkuz and will report back with any updates.
Just got to the mifavor screen, charging the battery from empty, although quickcharge appears to be functional again.
The charging battery logo is different from before so appears that this bootstack has done the trick.
The flashing red light has gone now, appears to be loading Lineage as before! I'm so grateful for all this help
However, now the unlock pattern is coming up as 'wrong pattern'. Is there anything that can be done? My settings appear to be saved as before (wallpaper and quick settings are the same).
I will attempt to reinstall twrp recovery and fix the lockscreen over adb. Thanks very much for the help. The brick has gone!!

Moto x play don't trun on after system update

Hi,
During an android update (by OTA) my phone turnend off. Power button + volume down don't turn on the bootloader (nothing happens, I can only see a blackscreen).
Commands ADB and Fastboot don't work. Computer shows only a saying "Didnt recognized the USB device" or sometimes "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
In the past the phone had TWRP and a lot of custom ROM's but I went back to stock.
Is it possible to flash it with PC? (With some kind of aplication like "smart phone flash tool")
Best regards!

You can't do anything. You lost your device. But if you find any solution then tell me.

You hard-bricked your device by Installing official OTA update in your unlocked device. This thing has happened to a lot of us unknowingly or by mistake. I did the same thing by mistake, I forgot about having an unlocked BL and flashed an official OTA update.
We basically fcuked up the bootloader/Fastboot I think and Motorola won't publish the required files to reflash it using Qfil.

device bricked by itself..? unable to boot or charge

i shut down my device by tapping power off. then removed sim card and sd card after screen went black. but when i tried to power on, it doesnt respond.. i tried holding the power button for 10s, it gives me a black screen and vibrates and instantly closes again.. so i cant boot into recovery, i cant boot to fastboot, and its unreadable on pc, it doesnt charge, no bootlogo, nothing. just bricked..
.
i dont know why, but it just bricked by itself.. i've been using mokee 9 date of 1/1/2020 thats the last update i installed, with add on su and everything was working perfectly and even if i reboot multiple times..
bootloader was unlocked so xiaomi centers wont help me..
how is it possible to make it boot again? i mean like wtf even happened? i did nothing.. i didnt flash anything and system was READ ONLY before powering off.. all i did was remove sim and sd cards... even after flashing mokee updates yesterday, it booted normally and idk what's going on..
any help?
EDIT: the phone's hard disk IC was damaged. I went to a tech guy and he changed it but then the motherboard broke entirely after flashing the qcn file for imei. Device out of warranty of course because of the damn bootloader. Thank you xiaomi for the great phone that only lasted one month before dying completely.

attempt 2
in attempt 1 i tried force reboot as mentioned, didnt work
attempt 2 : i tried force reboot while plugged to pc, this showed up

attempt 3
i tried to flash a new firmware, but device unreadable. must be on fastboot mode for mi flasher to be able to read it. im starting to lose hope.. the device is new though it makes me sad

on some topic of a bricked phone online, someone mentioned that he should try EDL mode, by cmd command FASTBOOT OEM EDL
so i tried it many times until it said successful. but still didnt fix anything, because it didnt actually boot into EDL mode, had to open my device physically and use test points. so attempt 4 failed

does this mean fastboot works?
after attempt 4, it said successful so if fastboot works like that then i can flash stock boot.img or something.. right? which image should i start with

this is the forum of the bricked phone similar to mine, except that i didnt try any flash like him it just happened randomly
https://c.mi.com/thread-2334646-1-0.html

attempt 5
attempt 5 failed, i tried flashing whole firmware one by one, i started with vbmeta, then recovery but it failed. idk what to do

notice
i have noticed that it only flashes small img files, if its 100kb or more it will fail. maybe due to device restart because the only way to make it read in fastboot mode is to force restart multiple times until it flashes. what to do now?

attempt 6
so according to this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJoIiLE_w3w
he installed a driver (name in attachment) then refreshed on mi flash so his device became readable on mi flasher
i tried that but it didnt work.

final attempt.. out of hope
found the possible solution. its called a deep flash cable, i will just go to any tech guy and ask him for help.
see attachment for info.

In order to enter test point / EDL / 9008 mode, you have to physically open your device and connect two points on the phone's board. Search on YouTube for Redmi 7a EDL. If you get to EDL mode, you can flash original stock firmware via MiFlash.

Yes, I hate tearing up my device so I took it to a professional. He failed to open ADL but he did the 9008. Now he waits some kind of credit. Not sure if for the app to work or for the bootloader to unlock, although it was already unlocked but maybe somehow got locked..
Any way, expected reason for brick is either latest magisk module, or kernel tweaks..

I gave the device to a professional, but he also failed to flash it even with test point. He said he was searching for a file.. I dont remember its name, something like IMOH..

Now I need to know any possible reason that might brick my phone again to avoid it

The app he used was called ultimate multi tools

test point attempt failed
i did the test point, booted to 9008 mode but still nothing.

i think i know why the phone got bricked by itself, it got ARB stands for AUTOROLLBACK
read more about it here https://mi-globe.com/unbrick-your-xiaomi-phone-without-authorized-mi-account/
bootloader got automatically locked again.

Never lock the bootloader if:
- your phone was delivered Chinese version and you flashed Global firmware
- your phone was delivered Global version and you flashed Chinese firmware
- you changed system, vendor, boot or recovery partition
- you installed a custom or modified stock rom
ARB isn't an issue with this phone I suppose. Because I was on 11.0.5 and rolled back to 10.2.5 without problems.
Have you tried MiFlash Pro?

but im sure i have all drivers installed in fact i used mi flash more than once and it worked perfectly fine, and i swear i didnt try to lock it or anything, what happened is, mokee auto updates installed add on magisk and it was the latest version so i think this might have bricked it. idk..

ok i downloed all the drivers and reinstalled them, same error : "library not registered"
