Hard-bricked device - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

I was trying to port a rom.. flashed it with something wrong in updater script and now
my asus zenfone max pro m1 is HARD BRICKED
tried all methods including the one on xda using QFIL but I get an error saying SAHARA FAILED...
is there any other way out?
Please help me in saving my device....

Hi did you manage to fix your phone? Mine also hard bricked..

Looks like you have to repartition the internal chip, then flash each partition via adb.
Also try to check if it gives red indicator when plugged in.

K3 Note died

Hello friends,
I need help, I'm desperate.
My K3 note died for no reason, I was using it hung up and now will not turn over. When I turn on the charger it does not appear any LED on the phone
I was one month using a custom rom, and he was with root and TWRP Recovery.
I installed MTK SP FlashTools, downloaded the Stock ROM VIBEUI 6.0 and try to make the flash'm finding the following error: Error Brom: S_storage_not_match (3182). Already tried other Stock Roms and all have the same error.
What can I do my friends? I lost cell phone?
Thank you
That error means the tool detects a mismatch between rom and phone. Are you using the latest usb drivers? The com port on the lower right looks different. Usually it says preloader instead of MTK port. Try uninstalling the usb drivers and use a different one. Also, change the Firmware Upgrade option to Download Only. One other thing, try with another rom file, possibly and older version rom first and see if it works. Changing the usb cable and port used won't hurt either.
If nothing works, your phone's EMMC might be dead..

Lenovo A328 Bricked Not Charging Not Booting

I have this Lenovo A328 which suddenly had multiple and continuous gapps crashes. I tried to do a factory reset but the problem still existed. I decided to flash the stock rom using SP Flash Tool. Flashing the stock rom succeeded but then after, the device does not charge nor boot up. It does not even respond to vol up(or down) + power which brings up a menu for testing the device(not recovery). I tried to format it first before flashing but the result is still the same. I also tried flashing stock rom from different source. Any idea on this one?
Update
I tried to flash a stock rom on my Lenovo A328 with SP Flash Tool but the process was interrupted and now after I flashed the stock rom successfully, the phone won't charge nor boot, not even to recovery. I noticed in my EMMC Flash that the sizes of GP1 - 4 are all 0x0.
I found a solution in here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2792667
It says that I have to flash the rom using DOWNLOAD first and then flash it again with FIRMWARE UPGRADE. I'm already at the FIWMWARE UPGRADE process but I got this error
Failed to get PMT info.

Hi, I am having the same problem. Could you help?
Hello everyone!
I am facing the same problem!!!
Tried almost all the solutions suggested on different sites or forums, nothing works, still no charge and no start...
Change the PC, the USB cables, drivers, ROM's, you name it... Someone said this MTK devices are hard to brick but still, why we cannot revive our devices??? Hardware failure? Not really according to some technicians as long your phone is detected by the pc in device manager, the phone CAN be "unbricked".
SO, we are missing something, we doing something wrong???
We need help.... SOMEONE???
please send me the firmware
I have the same problem about my lenovo a328. After flashing, it's not booting and turning on. It's not even charging. So what I did is I tried to firmware upgrade it and I got this ''failed to get PMT info'' alert. Someone know how to revive this phone?
I got 2 phones and they've bricked themselves
Hi,
I got 2 Lenovo A328s and they've bricked themselves, having the same symptoms.
I can get them to boot in Recovery, and I am waiting to download an image to sideload with ADB, which seems to work.
One of them was still in use, but had software glitches, like the camera driver not working in any app.
The other one was replaced 10 months ago, but after long time, it also bricked.
I haven't attempted any flash of new firmware.
I have the same problem, the phone isn't charging and I can't use vol up+ power buttons.
Can you send me the software please and some instructions?

Formatted internal disk drive in Redmi 2 prime -bricked

Hi,
When i am trying install custom ROM using TWRP in my redmi 2 prime phone ,it got strucked it between the process. So my phone got bricked.
So i tried to install via Mi flash tool with stable ROM of MIUI .But unfortunately there are many disk drives opened with the request to format drive when i am connecting my phone with Mi flash tool for the first time.
By mistake i have formatted one disk drive (which had 512 kb size) and it is successfully done
After formatting only i got to its something importent which is need not to be touched. Because my phone is totally dead after this format.
But now i can able to connect my phone using USB cable and the phone is detectable by computer in MI flash tool. But I am unable to flash the phone with stable ROM as the tool showing the error of "hello packet can not be reached". After the error msg the flashing has stopped .
Is there any experienced developers to help me to solve this issue and bring back my phone

Yesterday when I updating my Asus zenfone max Z010D my phone hard brick. Nothing show, not indicating led, not charging, not going to bootloader.not going to recovery. The main thing is that I download ota updates zip from Asus website and flash from stock recovery. When I connect zenfone max to PC, in device manager show qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 driver. And when I google, then I known that I need service ROM which can flashed through Qfil tool.
So, can you give me service ROM so that I fixed this problem.

That is the offline charging bug caused by the hardware's reverse charging feature. No solution to date so be careful to not let the battery go below 20% without charging.
Reboot into Fastboot / CSC mode ( vol up + power) and plug the charger. Let it charge for 10-15 mins then reboot.
sir please help me i have already a reverse charging popup problem i try to change the os to solve the bug please any other option
Hello, I had a very little progress. I gave up about my asus zenfone max a year ago but glad that now looks like there's a hope in reviving my phone. I was able to download the right files to flash with QFIL. Most people here say that their PC detected QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 but mine detect it as QUALCOMM HS-USB DIAGNOSTICS 9006. Due to excitement, I flashed it anyway and it created some memory partition on my hard drive whenever I plug the phone but QFIL gave me an error of :
** Download Fail: Switch To EDL Fail Failed to switch to Emergency Download Mode
I tried to google this error, some encountered it and was able to get a resolution by just removing the battery before plugging it in but our zenfone is with non removable battery. I have no luck yet. Anyone got suggestions ?

Where do you get the right files? Could you post them?
Hi guys, I'm in really trouble.
I've got an Asus z010d and I think is hardbricked.
Screen is totally black, no vibrations, no recovery mode, nothing.
The only thing that I've done is to see it via QFIL like the image attached.
I've read some guides around the internet, for restore the device via QFIL with a stock rom, but I not able to get a single rom that has rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml files that the program need...
I state that I am not a big expert.
Iif anyone knows how to help me, I can also pay him for the right assistance.
Thanks in advance.

You can't flash Stock ROM with TWRP, you should try flashing other ROM.
