I think I may have bricked my phone. I had it rooted and had official beta update installed on my phone. I tried to flash the Pixel Experience rom from the rom's here on the forum. Decided that I didn't like it as much as the stock rom. Flashed the stock rom and magisk back onto the phone. rebooted the phone and the phone got stuck on the intial screen, so I restarted the phone. Now the phone won't boot at all. When I plug the phone into my computer the computer acts like it connects and it is showing in the device manager, but the MSMdownload tool says Waiting for device even if I run the tool as an admin. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Try using another cable or port. This happened to me the first time I had a major scare! Fingers crossed for ya
Fixed
I let it charge over night and was able to get it to fastboot. Got the recovery tool to work. It's all good now.

Hey guys!!!
Can you please help me with this?
Yesterday i tried to install a new ROM on my LG Android phone (My LG phone is not working properly, it has a reboot loop). I tried to do a factory reset without success -> the dead Android logo appeared :/
I put my phone in Download Mode and connected to the pc but Windows does not recognize my phone.. it says: "USB device not recognized.. the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it"
I do not know what to do now.. when i try to flash a ROM with the LG Flash Tool it fails because LG program does not recognize my device..
PS: LG Support Tool recognizes my phone (it shows the model) but i cannot flash a ROM
Thanks!!:fingers-crossed:

Were you using a custom recovery? (i.e. TWRP)? If so, are you able to boot into recovery? It was a few years ago but whenever that happened to me I would have to use the hard reset option. If I remember correctly, on my LGG2, I would hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time until the LG logo appears, then right when it appears, release and re-press both buttons again holding them down again until the hard reset option showed. Then when it asked me if I was sure I wanted to reset my phone, select yes (it made nervous the first ten times or so). Eventually I began to trust it would, in fact, do what I was informed it would do which was boot into TWRP without actually resetting anything. From there I was always able to flash a new ROM etc. Anyway, if you knew all that sorry, just trying to help. If not, please get second opinions since I will not be held responsible for your device and since it's been years since I tinkered with mine. Having a Samsung now, I don't mess with it cause rooting a Samsung Note trips Knox and then Samsung Pay is disabled.
Anyway, happy flashing and best of luck to you. It was an awesome hobby while I was involved with it.
Cheers!

Hi Guys,
I would greatly appreciate any help. I have somehow lost the TWRP & Stock recovery to my ZTE ANXON 7 MINI.
I had a custom rom and decided to flash a stock update zip and that rendered my phone unusable. I have managed to get it too boot to 6.0.1 B9 Spanish rom. However i have NO RECOVERY to flash the original update for the UK B12 Rom.
Im using the EDL Tool to flash. If anyone has the stock recovery to the B9 6.0.1 Rom that would be a big help. Or a EDL full backup.
All links to the ZTE website are down as they are no longer allowed to use ANDROID.
Also to note i have tried to reinstall TWRP however im left with either a white screen or nothing just bootloop.
Unable to unlock bootloader also as i have no fastboot option as recovery is dead
Thanks.
This are (full flash)EDL roms(need to extract to folder "flash\full ",and flash(not recovery ))B12.6Android.EDL.EU.Version
B13.Android7.EDL.EU.Version

If you have white screen or ZTE logo then I know how to solve it.
Funny enough, hook the phone to the pc, open adb command and type adb devices.
You will see you pc recognises the phone in adb as recovery.
If this happens let me know and I'll show you how to push the entire bootstack to data/media, then write all these files to each partition. After that your twrp will work and you are done.
These happened to me about 10 times now and I even created a bat file which I double click and it does all the operations at once then reboots straight into twrp. Quite cool actually.
Nevertheless I'm also interested in an edl ROM to umbrick another axon 7 mini I have which is totally, utterly bricked.
I have opened the phone (still opened) and I managed once to get the test point to work and connect to qcn configurator but since then I never got it to be recognised again.
Good luck
Cheers

Mate, you don't know how helpful this post was.
I have bricked this [nasty] phone about 10 times.
but yesterday I learn yet another lesson, after trying to flash a new splash screen, the phone went totally dead, connecting directly in DFU mode.
I sort of panicked because I didn't have a fresh data backup and there aren't full EDL ROM for this phone easily found on the web.
After focusing in making sure my laptop had the correct drivers (loader/bulk/adb) and after I got confident to use the deepflash cable to move from DFU to EDL, bulk device recognised, right click on it and update the driver to show the loader (901D) then I though what would be the next step.
I did not understand the MIflash tool and the version I had didn't seem to work at all I scratched my had for a while.
I then used the EDL tool, placed your files into the FULL folder and ran through the steps...….mate.....that was beautiful.
I ended up flashing the full B13 on top of the B09 and the system works perfect without any loss of data.
Having learnt all this, I went brave and confident I could rescue my other axon 7 min, which had been dead for over 2 months. Although I had to open it to access the test point, after about 50 or more attempts, I had tried lots of combinations, test point again etc.
It turned out I have left the phone plugged in to the PC with every plug disconnected except the usb board and went to do the washing up. 2-3min later my pc gave a sound, loader 901D was already ready and I repeated the exact process.
You basically saved both of my phones!!!! THANK YOU
Hey,
So yesterday I decided to finally tinker with my phone. My main issue was that the Wifi kept disconnecting on it's own for no damn reason but no other device would do it. Found out it's a thing with the E4 and the option for disconnecting on a bad connection wasn't there.
At anyrate, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP. Then things started to go sour. While trying to root the phone, I ended up with no ROM. Tried a couple of different ones. Lineage OS, Resurrection Remix but none could get past the boot animation. Eventually I found the correct (I think) ROM for my phone. I'm in Canada and on Freedom Mobile so I went with the Retail Perry OS from here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/perry/official/RETAIL/
I tried installing with TWRP but it said invalid ZIP file so I found another way. Using instructions from https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/help/rsd-lite-device-connecting-t3671647 I used the rsdlite motorola xml to batch script file thing mentioned. Phone finally worked again! Went about installing the bits and bobs. Was working for a few hours and then I decided to update. I had used an older version of the firmware when the zip file was coming up as invalid in TWRP. The first two or three updates went fine. Downloaded, installed, restarted, fine. Then during one it just... stopped. I think it was restarting last I saw but I didn't even see the "Updating" animation page. The battery was over 60% minimum.
I've tried holding down all the buttons for 4 minutes, I've tried booting into recovery, into bootloader. Nothing. The screen stays black. Not even an animation for charging.
About a half an hour ago I tried plugging it into my computer. Initially there was a response by the PC. A popup came up and said something about Qualcomm <name> being successfully installed or updated. It went so quickly I didn't get a chance to read it. I went looking through My PC trying to find the device and see if I could access the files on it but there was nothing. So I unplugged it. Now I don't even get the Qualcomm thing. Device manager says that it was unable to be identified and I just get a notification saying USB is unrecognized. I've tried uninstalling and updating drivers in Device Manager to no avail. I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts from anyone?
Edit: While having the phone plugged into my PC if I try to access the bootloader mode by holding down the buttons for a longer period of time, my computer responds with noises. Mostly it's just the USB removed noise, but occasionally one sounds off if a new USB device is plugged in.

Sounds like you hard bricked it. I had the same thing happen with my E4 Plus. Not sure why this is happening with certain updates even without being rooted or trying to install ota's with stock recovery as you should do. I managed to get mine working again with this tutorial here but you need the right files for your specific device

I have a rooted RP2 MR1 on android9. I tried to unroot the device since I am trying to sell the phone. I went into magastik and clicked Complete Uninstall. After the phone restarted it booted into Recovery Mode. I cannot get past this. I can go into the Bootloader from Recovery Mode. I have tried ADB but my phone isn't be recognized.
Not sure what I am doing wrong, or if this can be fixed. Any help is appreciated!

To get my phone to be recognized, I had to try two different cables, as well as follow this video to install the standard adb drivers.
New user so I can't post the full link, so add this after the .com/ of youtube
watch?v=1TxjSa8gemM
From there look up the stock ROMs installer for the RP2 and follow the instructions for that.
I just ran into the same problem. I uninstalled through magisk then rebooted. now i can get to recovery and bootloader but phone wont boot. I tried reinstalling factory image from razer's website but adb gets stuck at waiting for device. I have used 6 differnt drivers and 5 different cables including a samsung sync and transfer cable i went out and bought today hoping the cable was the issue. any update on how you fixed it or advice from anyone else would be greatly appreciated as this is my only phone.

Are you using the ADB/Fastboot that Razer recommends on their site? I had this problem too until I updated my ADB/Fastboot.
Yeah, I feel like an idiot. It's been a while since I've used adb. I ended up moving the fastboot file into the same folder as the the image I was trying to flash and had my phone working 30 minutes later. I meant to reply but it was 6 am and I went to sleep. Lol
