Download the official update.zip from official ZTE website for your phone!
It contains a recovery.img .
First copy the whole update.zip to your sdcard.
Then fastboot the stock recovery.img ..
Now it wont boot full , you are only able to get in recovery.
So go in recovery , apply update ; choose the update.zip and let the update.zip install.
Your phone should work fully normally now.
Thanks need more help

Im so happy you replied. Now here comes the deal-all the flashing and struff not good at it. If you could explain step by step I would be grateful. Slap a link of drivers and I thought you cant flash when your phone cant be recognized. Cuz when I enter fastboot it says waiting for device and then it says device not found. I tried almost every solution via modaco-tpt and many others...please help me bro

You said you tried the recovery.img to fastboot , so : do you got the fastboot drivers for Blade III installed?
When you ain't installed them , it is normal that devices won't be found.

Soo i accidentally disabled the dev options on my samsung galaxy s7 edge and then decided to restart my phoe because i didnt notice and now im stuck with an error that says "custom binary blocked by FAP lock" now i looked around the internet on ways to fix this but the thing is that i cant really connect my phone to my computer, yes i did the volume down+power+home button thing and i connected it to my pc but nothing happened, odin didnt recognize my phone and my computer reads it as "gadget serial" i tried installing the usb drivers and all but i keep getting errors, its like my phone doesnt realy wants to cooperate.
Anyways i was wondering if any of you could help me with this please, i beg of you if anyone has an answer im willing to try, also if you need more info just ask, ill be glad to provide, thanks!
Anyone?...

Soo basically make sure youre pc is fully updated, it must have all window drivers installed (i used windows 10) all window updates, make sure all the pieces of your pc are updated and then connect your phone and for the love of god be patient
I take it this is you're first time encountering something like this... at any rate, welcome to the forums.
Hello everybody,
First off, I hate people who don't search on google before making a post, I have been searching for 4 days and I feel that it's appropriate to ask now.
I will make 2 parts to this thread, one will be a very fast explanation of what I did and the second part will be the same but a very thorough with a step by step process of what I messed up...
TL;DR: I was tired, late in the evening I flashed for some reason a Partition table of a Mi Note 3 on my Mi A1... I am now bricked and cannot access anything, fastboot, ADB, recovery nothing! I guess my phone is in EDL mode cause when I plug it in it flashes its led. "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" Is what I see in my device manager.
What do? oh, I forgot! I cannot access anything through any combination of buttons. I am stuck here, where I am!
The full thorough explanation for people who are bothered to read fully. (Includes my excuses for making noob mistakes, might be fun to read idk.)
Young me on a Sunday evening decides to reinstall magisk but this time with twrp cause I did it without twrp (yeah yeah I know). I was left without OTA's and after uninstalling anything that had something to do with Xposed or magisk I trashed it all. and stupid me thought that maybe? maybe? just maybe deleting Dalvik Cache would help me get my OTA's back after injecting my original ROM. This is where the fun begins.
I was not wanting to go through reinstalling magisk and all that to wipe the Dalvik Cache, I thought that that was my mission now, so I decided to search for methods that don't require root or being in the system, so some kind of fastboot or ADB command or something idk. I tried installing twrp and without my understanding that failed miserably and then I read some post where someone said that they flashed a mi note 3 partition table on their phone and something worked. Being the naïve little boii that I am, let's do that hey? Bam! bricked! I read somewhere I can open the phone and remove the battery and not having the tools is a mess, having to ask friends for some and voiding my warranty for something that probably won't work and after reading I understood that I'm in "EDL 9008 recovery" or something like that. I cannot boot into anything, I only have EDL 9008 to work with. I tried using Xiaomi's flasher tool and it would never respond to the initial hello packet (duuhh! I can't use ADB nor fastboot).
I know that this was stupid, I know! I learnt my lesson. If there is nothing we can do can I at least somehow get my internal storage data back? I deleted the backups from google drive for a short amount of time but randomly 5hrs prior to this sad story. All I have safe are now my contacts.
I hope you guys have some ideas! I feel like I'm fked but maybe with EDL 9008, there is a little glimmer of light?
P.S. If you guys somehow get me into fastboot I can flash a correct partition table back. My PC has all drivers so I can do this!
Sincerely, Micheal.
There is a way although i did tried it yet.
First of all sorry for my English.
Download latest MiFlash tool and qualcomm driver, this package contain both but not latest MiFlash so you should download lastest version from official site.
https://www.fshare.vn/file/H3R8M6OMRP2R
Download lastest stock rom.
You will need a good USB type C cable, dont use the one come with phone because you dont want to cut it in half.
Yes, that exactly what i said. Cut it in half, there are 4 small wire (or maybe 5 with type C?), remove it outer plastic and reconnect them.
Join the green and black cable, like you short circuit them, then plug your phone into PC with that cable without release green and black, wait for 5 sec then seperate them, the green and black.
Check device manager on your PC, you should hear device connect sound and qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader show up under Ports.
Open MiFlash and try to flash it.
You may want to check this video, although it in Vietnamese but you should understand the usb cable part.

Hi, interesting situation. What about following this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html ?
Its for some other phone, but try instaliing some drivers and you may get some signal of life.
Very interesting
I have thought about doing this as I had an old type-c lying around that came with the phone (I use a beautiful cable I bought off amazon) and saw this method to flash but never tried it..
I'll give it a go thanks.
btw. Your English is good I understood everything
The second comment from TrueMS:
I already have all drivers installed and in the long post I said that I have a flashing led that indicates that i'm in EDL 9008, the phone isn't dead but it won't turn on with any driver

Yes, thats what I meant. Well, I dont know how to help you, wish you luck. I remember how I flashed wrong ROM for my S3 Mini and it was completly trashed, I'm glad that Xiaomi gives us at least some signs of life and hope.
And btw. I would rather charge the phone somehow - I hope it charges even in EDL mode, because if your phone dies while flashing with MiFlash, things can be even worse.
EDIT: I also found this guide, you can try it out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-unbrick-via-external-sdcard-qfil-t3748946
Okay so now a major reply!
I have stated in the OP that I am already in EDL, there is no need for cutting the cable or installing any driver, I am in EDL 9008 I don't need to "try to get there" as i'm already there.
These guides failed miserably as I have already tried them, my phone "doesn't receive a hello packet" from my phone, as I can't use adb or fastboot, or recovery.
I'll download linux and give that usb method a go then

Something that is never mentioned is to disable driver enforcement, this time hello packet was successfully recieved and flashed... Hold your happiness, cause now EDL no longer works so I can't see it in any com port and i'm certainly still in edl cause of the flashing led. Only difference I see is that now the led flashes when I hold the power button??? hmmmmmmm
To clarify:
Can't boot
Device was flashed successfully
Com port on pc can no longer see phone even after reboot
adb still don't work (proves again i'm in edl)
I'm in an even stickier situation now, can't access with my pc hmmmm..

So did you flash official stock ROM? Because I dont understand why doesnt it work... btw. when you flashed the ROM, did you lock bootloader?
Cant be battery dead?
If you are on "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" you will be able to flash stock fastboot firmware. Flash it using MiflashTool. Normally Miflashtool will recognized it as COMXX, where XX is the number of the port.
It's the official rom for the march ota.
The phone works, apparently it was encrypting everything... and now as I interrupted it, the encrypting failed and I lost all my data.....
Phone works but could have been better.
Before I reset the phone to factory, as i cannot use it yet, is there any way to get anything personal back? or is it gone gone and just factory reset?
What I see after boot, the phone resets every minute

The button that is hard to see says factory reset

Good job mate, so that SD card method worked with Linux? Be happy that your phone is alive.
EDIT: Maybe consider locking bootloader? Try it if youre on official stock.
EDIT 2: By flashing that ROM I guess you lost all data, but you can try to boot in TWRP without installing it and browse in file manager to see, if there is any data.

No... I was going to do that tomorrow but I decided to disable driver signature enforcement which worked. This should be written everywhere if it's this important..
Is there still a way to get my internal data back? Question as well, in recovery "mounting" the data partition will that let me get everything back "mounting" the drive to the pc? or do i not understand what mounting is.

As I said, you can try it, but when I flashed my Nougat stock ROM, i lost all the data. Or you can boot into TWRP and connect with USB to your computer to see the data in phone.
Good that your phone is working now, as for the data, i once forgot to remove encrypt before flash custom rom, but when enter TWRP it will ask for old password to decrypt. Just enter your old pass then connect to PC, or use TWRP file explorer to copy your data to sdcard

None of the passwords I used worked.. I just factory reset it, thanks alot everybody. And now I will be more careful, don't flash anything weird. And backup!
I understood why I can't get the data back, if android fails at the encryption it jsut deletes everything!
My fone also in 9008 please can you guide me
I did the same what you have and it's on 9008 my flashing is successful but still my fone is not opening help me

i am in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 but i can't flash, it doesn't matter if the phone is on fastboot mode or turned off (i can't even turn it on)
So I have tried to unlock bootloader and I failed with every single method out there.
Then something happened with ASUS flash tool.
Now my phone stuck in fastboot mode with barcode on the right.
I can boot into recovery.
But I don't know what to do next to recover my phone...
I tried flashing anything and it seems my phone doesn't accept anything at all.
EDIT: After losing all hope, I changed my PC. boom everything worked....
Apparently I think "too many links" actually mean I have way too many USB plugged in? I switched to my notebook and it instant work.
On my PC I occupy every single USB port available on my motherboard (I use a lot of stuff)
Always get "too many links" or "script failure"

Nope, just don't get into flashing stuff on this phone.

my asus cant boot into recovery?please help
Fix or not becouse this my problame to
Hi Guys,
Today I think I bricked my phone and I would appreciate any help.
I will describe the whole situation.
So around 2019 May, I rooted my device and decided to flash a stock based,debloated custom rom. Everything work just fined including downloading mode and recovery menu. Today, I decided to try out [S7/S7 Edge][OneUI Pie][JetBlackUI] LightROM, however strangely I was not able to boot either to TWRP neither to downloading mode via key combination.
However I had install TWRP app and from there i was able to boot to recovery mode,install the new rom and try it out.
For some reason root was not enabled in the new rom, so i figured I will try to do it via TWRP however I was unable to boot, since root access is needed to boot from TWRP app + key combo still did not work.
After searching on google, I found a poprgram which can do the trick. (Recovey-Download (CMD)
With this I was able to boot to recovery mode. Now I thought, since all this mess up was started with the new roms, I decided to restore my original stock rom, which I had a back up of. It booted up first and seemed okay, but I was curious if this solved the issues with the key comb, so I tried it going downloading mode, but it only worked with the program ((Recovey-Download (CMD)), and I saw that it is probably not gonna be good, since it only had the blue screen, but no data in the upper left corner.
Then I restarted the device and now it say " Custom binary blocked by FRP lock". and turns off itself.
I saw that FRP lock could be solved easly with Odin fresh install, problem is I have no idea how to go downloading mode. ( Assuming at this point I still can).
Sorry for the long essay but i think the more detail the easier to diagnose. Also, thank you for reading.
I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hey, how did you manage to get your phone into dl mode with an USB jig? I want to try this out, but you're the only one here who's confirmed that you were able to do this on an S7 Edge.
