Hello. Im new to the forum but not new to all of the processes that goes into rooting and unlocking a phone. Now that I have that out the way, the problem at hand.
My phone has been in a DFU state for a few days. I messed up on one of the processes of locking my bootloader again and it messed up. The screen flashes ZTE when I turn it on and blinks a red light and turns off. My computer sometimes recognizes it (COM10) but ADB services dont recognizes it. I can also get into the bootloader where i can use the VOL Up and Down to go through the options (locked bootloader options so "Start", "Restart Bootloader", "Recovery Mode", etc.). None of those options do anything though. My device is Locked.
The problem I'm having at the moment is that I want to use MiFlash on another PC because the other ones don't flash. But on this computer, my device don't show up on MiFlash and when I hit Refresh, It gives me the error, "Invalid Class". I don't know why. Can anyone help me with that problem and also if you have a method that may work to unbrick my device, that would be appreciated as well.
Thank you in advance.
What? MiFlash is for Xiaomi devices. The Axon 7 is a ZTE device.
Am I missing something?

Youre not. And I thought the same. But its been a successful too to get people from brick status. Here's the Forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514
Its capable of flashing files to your device. And its great for those who are having problems with ADB recognizing the devices.
Any help will be much appreciated. Just steering me in the right direction is enough.
EDL (Emergency Download) Mode has been removed/ disable from MIUI 8.1 onwards and Redmi 4A later Xiaomi devices. So you can flash MIUI Fastboot ROMs on your device by using Fastboot mode only, if your bootloader is unlocked. And, we can't use Qualcomm Jig Cable(s) also now.
So, we have only one way to know Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port from PC. It's Test Point Method. This method will work with every MIUI ROMs (Upgrade/ Downgrade) , Locked Bootloader/ Unlocked Bootloader and also work to recover from a Dead boot device (Bricked).
While touching these two points with a metal tweezers plugin the usb cable to the phone and PC will make the phone enter edl mode. You can then release the tweezers.
Bro edl mode is not removed. It's just moved to fastboot. You can enter edl easily by "fastboot oem edl" command. Hope this helped :laugh:

In any case, the bootloader muz be unlocked to initiate EDL using ADB fastboot..

What makes you think I'm so lame as well. I have used this command and flashed my mi max 2 with fastboot rom. Tho I don't remember if bootloader was locked or unlocked. Probably it was unlocked. But still no issues as anyone can unlock thier bootloader officially.
i wasnt intended at you. it seems they forgot some ways when they first deployed the edl blocking access but with the most recent "roms" they have blocked every access way to edl when bootloader is locked : adb, fastboot & cable
the only way left is from internal pins, but we can expect they will hide them even better on new phones.
Today it's much worth to wait 72h (+30days if you just already unlocked another one today) than opening the models that have "non removable" batteries and risking to leave traces/damages
it's really a shame that xiaomi lock their phone this way, it's a very bad message at the users (fastboot is so much restricted that you cant even switch between stable&dev anymore with locked bootloader) but we still have the chance that they allow unlocking and that this unlocking is a real one allowing full control
Fastboot rom isn't needed untill we brick our device and we can't brick the device untill we have unlocked bootloader. So basically edl mode will work when it's really needed.
It doesn't work for my MM2. Got it since 4/12/17. Didn't know i need to login to mi acc to register my device, set usb debugging, developer's mode, unlock status...I had the phone for less than 2 hrs after updating to MIUI 9 from ver 8 (using the updater app) before it suddenly froze up, crashed and went into bootloop. I tried contacting xiaomi svc ctr but those clowns refused to help saying my device is china export.
I cldn't even get them to help me register my device on my mi acc using the imei & s/n info. So if anyone could offer some suggestions as to how I could ressurrect my phone, I wld be most grateful. Failing which the only avenue is to bring it to a svc ctr in China to get them fix it.

My test points don't seem to work
I opened up my mi max2 and followed the steps to short the testpoints but my pc doesn't seem to pick up the Qualcomm device.
Anyway to trigger the thing so that the Qualcomm device can be detected?

I managed to short the test points and got the Qualcomm HSB device on the device mgr, flashed the mi max2 with the latest global stable (V9.2.1) rom. But the phone is still stuck at the Android logo with 3 dots...
I wld have thought EDL flashing wld have wiped out everything on the phone and start afresh?
I am now thinking of formatting the entire phone and reflashing it again. How wld I do that?
Thanks for any inputs.
Hi, Does EDL with test point flashing refresh the boot partitions?
I have shorted the test points and successfully reflash the phone with the latest stable global ROMs (even back to MIUI 8.5.6) but just couldn't get the phone past the MI/Android logo after restarting it
If the boot partition files have been messed up and EDL flashing is not refreshing these files, no matter how many times I try to EDL flash the device, it's not going to help. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
Any other options I can try?

FIXED* 6T A6013 bricked "build version and HW version is not match!" + MSMtool Error
[/STRIKE]My OnePlus 6T is currently displaying the message "build version and HW version is not match!" when I try to power it on.
It will turn off shortly after and I am not able to enter fastboot or recovery mode by holding volume up or down while booting.
I can boot into the mode for MSM tool by holding volume up and down while plugging in a USB cable.
But when I run MSM tool I get the error "Device not match image" or "Images do not match with the phone!"
I tried the MSM tools from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/op6t-collection-unbrick-tools-t3914746
10.3.0 and 9.04
I have a complete nandroid backup that I made of the phone, but because I am not able to boot into twrp or use fastboot I am not sure of a way that I can repair this device
I have looked at several different threads and have tried everything I could find, is there any possible way I could still use fastboot or use MSM tool?
I am pretty sure this phone is not a verizon model but an international one. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
Okay I downloaded the verizon MSM tool version instead just to see if that would work
And that has successfully started flashing the phone, so it looks like the place I bought it was selling verizon phones they had unlocked to look like international ones even though they are supposed to be a trusted seller and it wasn't an ebay purchase, it was supposed to be brand new
Edit2:
It appears to be working fine now, I have gone through the steps and unlocked my phone again, now running a custom rom and I hope everything will work fine.

hi bro where did you find verizon MsmDownloadTool
edit: problem solved bro. i used t-mobile msm tool.
I tried to install pixel experience but somehow my device (6t) was showing Qualcomm Crashdamp Mode. As I had my bootloader unlocked, I tried MSM download tool but accidentally I used oneplus 6 msm tool.
I'm out of my mind now as the bootloader is locked now and it boots to a oneplus 6 os. The touch doesn't work and the screen is blinking and stuck in setup wizard. Power and volume button is working fine, tried a mouse with otg but don't know why it doesn't work so I can unlock oem and turn on usb debugging.
Is there any way I can get back to stock without unlocking bootloader?
Use the 6T MSM
Hi,
As in the title i've tried to install DivestOs and everything was fine until the relocking of the bootloader (very likely skipped a step).
Now i'm trying to use Msmdownload tool to flash stock rom and reflash DivestOs after that. My hardware is a laptop with usb 3.0 ports OS: Fedora 36 (which i used to flash divestos) and a windows 10 VM ( i use this for msmdownload tool). The phone error says "your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot".
But i continue to get the "sahara communication error", i tried to follow guides and tutorials but it doesn't work. I tried to reinstall qualcomm, oneplus drivers, Windows 10 VM and i also tried the volume up (+) and power button trick. I also tried different msmdownload tool for oneplus 6T. Is there a solution or should i just bring it to a repair shop? Is there a linux msmdownload tool alternative?
Thanks for any help
Have you tried simply unlocking it first? The unlock ability won't go away once locked.
As for flashing via VM, it works, but you need to pass a USB host controller into the VM as there are multiple VID/PID pairs used for EDL.
Hi, thanks for answering, i tried to just unlock it as said on the official site,( i also asked the dev that created the rom). So i should find the drivers for usb controller for windows? Thanks again
