[GUIDE] Unbrick X82x Le Max 2, Factory Restore, Reset, Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

Hi all,
After reading on letv.re that some people managed to brick their devices and were looking for a fix, I started to check more and more about the issue. What happened to some was that the phone would switch itself off and enter into Qualcomm Recovery Mode and would be seen when connected to a computer as “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008”. For others, by flashing wrong files the phone would end up in the same state. Luckily a fix had been found, and it was shared by ParasiTe_RemiX.
DISCLAIMER
Given that maybe nothing will happen to your warranty and this is an unbricking tool, there are small chances that your device might get bricked for good, and I feel the need to say that I am not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions. Any modification that you do to your phone you're doing at your OWN RISK.
Keep in mind that if your phone goes by itself in the QDLoader mode, it’s better to try some combinations below before flashing it using this method:
1) Keep the power button pressed for about 2 minutes, or
2) Keep the power button + Vol up pressed for about 2 minutes, or
3) Keep the power button while connecting the phone to a wall charger, or
4) Bring the phone into a bright light and press the power button (or power button + Vol up) for about 2 minutes, or
5) Keep the phone charging for more than 24 hours and repeat all the steps above.
If nothing works and you are willing to fix it and you’ll give up all your files, then this fix is for you. Or if you have flashed some wrong files and there is no Fastboot, nor Recovery, this is to be followed. Or if you want to reset your phone to a “factory state”, this is the way to go, and by that I mean if you want to check that your fingerprint sensor is working, or you have some other issues, it’s good to revert it this way.
What you will need:
a) A Windows computer
b) FlashOne program - the flashing program for the software
c) QFIL files for X820 (looks like some dev software dating April,2016)
IMPORTANT – YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR FILES ON THE PHONE, PHOTOS, MUSIC, APP DATA, INTERNAL STORAGE WILL BE WIPED.
So if your phone is in this Qualcomm Recovery mode, you can just connect it to the computer, and jump to step 3, if not, and you simply want to flash it, start from step 1.
1) To enter Qualcomm Recovery mode, first turn off the phone and go to step 2
2) Keep pressed Vol Up (+) and Vol Down (-) together and connect the phone by USB cable to the computer.
3) You will see that the computer will install drivers for "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
4) Unzip FlashOne and start "main.exe". Once you've opened the flashtool you'll see "Flash Type". Here select "Qualcomm - flash dead phone".
5) Select your phone - "COM ..." from "Select device" - here should be the same COM ... as it shown in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT) > "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM ...)"
6) Select File "LeMax2QFIL.zip" from the folder where it is saved
7) Press "Flash" in the lower part of the window
8) Once completed, disconnect the phone and power it up
9) Go to Settings – Storage format the internal storage.
To exit the Qualcomm Recovery mode, keep the Power Button pressed for about 1 minute or until the phone will vibrate and restart into system.
That's it. More info you will find in FlashOne program, actually it's almost like I've described it here.
You will be reverted to a "dev" version of the phone, somewhere with April build date. Keep in mind that it's EUI 5.6 and the kernel is different than EUI 5.8. Update it to latest EUI with stock recovery and then install the custom recovery of your choice.
Most of the guys install a recovery for 5.6 on EUI 5.8 or vice versa and then they get the blue LED. That's why you should read the instructions for each recovery and make sure you know which one you're flashing.

Hi
First of all I want to thank you for posting this solution. Yesterday I managed to solve it too but it took me a while to find all this info.
Now I have ran into annother problem, I am not able to flash any rom from the stock recovery, it says "file corrupted" every time.
Any solution to this?

Honestly, I did this restoration of the phone about a month ago. I encountered some issues with the stock recovery but I can't remember what I did to fix it. I think I installed 017s at that time, directly from the dev software. Restarting the phone to recovery I think didn't work. I believe you should turn it off and then start it to recovery directly. I remember I wanted to download 015s, 016s, and even I gave up and wanted to install TWRP for 5.6 EUI but the stock recovery at some point worked. Try to turn off the phone (not restart) and then switch on in recovery. And check erase data as well.

Hello, I'm on Windows 7, I enter #3 point above but I can see only QUSB_BULK device under devices manager but Windows 7 does not have any drivers for it. I tried to dwonload some but withous success. Has anybody runover rhis instruction? Uder which Windows version?
OK. Under Windows 10 it works means it installs the phone as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and its visible in FlashOne program.
Great appreciation to valy_cta!

I don't think that you can flash a X910 with X820 files, although I never tried and never heard someone to do so, the results might not be too good.
That error was due to the fact that he was not pressing the buttons properly before connecting to computer. Keep Vol up and Vol down and connect the phone. It should be switched off before.
Good luck!

Thanks very much
How would I switch off a hard bricked device? Every time I connect the device, the device manager shows that it's been connected "Qualcomm ------ 90008" so how would I turn it off , especially if the battery is embedded?

Can you press the power button for at least 1 minute?
If you have it connected and it shows in computer as Qualcomm... 9008, it's ok. Maybe the files are detected as not being for your phone.
If you suddenly found the phone in such way and you didn't flash something that broke it, try to restart it as shown in the op. If not, try to discharge the battery fully that to flash something that it doesn't belong.

Oops, you bricked your device. You cannot flash another region if that was your intention... You can either go to customer support or try to make a USB flash cable to force the files onto your device (pls use original firmware for your device). I know that this was mentioned in the forum before but I cannot remember where exactly and I don't know if it is actually working. If it fails, your device is pretty much ******...

Hi there. I'm a new user so i don't have enought privileges to make a tread about my issues. So i will try to be the most clear possible.
I got a Nokia 6 TA-1039 so i tryed to root it and that's why I'm here.
First of all the phone is now on Qualcomm HS-USB Qloader singed on 04/01/2013 and it's 2.1.0.5 version, by Xiaomi Technology Inc., then when i connect to the PC it recognizes it in that port. In the other hand, the device doesn't make any noise or dispolay anything on the screen, but in the pc it appears when i connect it.
I have downloaded following the treads the firmware Nokia_TA-1025_MSM8937_25082017_7.1.1.zip and extracted it. I was trying to use it with QFIL version 2.0.0.5 and using as configuration the next steps:
-Download protocol: 0-Sahara
-Device type: UFS
Validation mode: 0-No validation
[
then when i run it i found the next errors:
Error function: Sahara _rx_data: 194 unable to read packet header Only read 0 bytes
Error function: Sahara_main: 854 sahara protocol error
Error function: Sahara_main: 265 Uploading image using sahara protocol failed
Download fail: Sahara fail: QSaharaServer fail: Process fail
Then i tryed to flash it using Xiaomi MiFlash.exe and the errors are:
Cant found programmer file
Cannot recive Hello packet
cannot read hello packet
adittional to this I have a cable that i think that it's a EDL cable by GPGIndustries like this
http://shop.gpgindustries.com/produc...ml?pb=108&pc=2
I'm very desesperated about this. If someone can call me or help me in any way i really appreciate it.

I had the Samsung drivers installed, but still had an unknown SM Bus controller.
Solved this now (it's a freshly installed windows 7 only for this task)
Now the phone shows up in Odin, but I am unsure how to continue.
I downloaded N9005XXSGBPL6_N9005DBTGBOI1_N9005XXUGBOJ1_HOME from sammobile which contains a file named N9005XXSGBPL6_N9005DBTGBOI1_N9005XXUGBOJ1_HOME.tar.md5
I guess I have an "old" model ans so selected this file for "AP" and hit GO. Attached is the screenshot of the result:
When I now restart the phone I get a Message:
"Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
that's weird to ma as Samsung suggests SmartSwitch for models with Android5. But SmartSwitch says "model not supported".
Kies tries to conect forever.
In Odin under "Options" neither "Re-Partition" nor "Nand Erase" is checked. Is this correct?
I'm pretty clueless now

Try a different version of Odin, USB cables, and USB ports.

I already did change cable and port (and even the computer). Don't know where to get a different Odin version.
However, it's hard for me to imagine how a different USB cable should solve a size problem.
But I don't know, what that "size" error actually means.

I have always had good success with Odin 3.07: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...ad-odin-3-07&usg=AOvVaw0Rcrx5CDctRzS99UIaD36F
If a stock firmware cannot be flashed via Odin/Windows, you may have to have the phone force flashed using alternative hardware such as an Octopus box: https://octopusbox.com/

OK, I got this version now. Unfortunately it produces the same error as posted above. Size error upon flashing hidden.img
. . . hours later. . .
I found a pit file here https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30482
And with the HLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit I was able to flash that stock Android5. So at least the phone is alive again. :good:
What I don't understand: My phone came with a N9005BTUGBOJ1 ROM which seems to be British Telecom, Right? But I am in Germany. Is that of any relevance to me?
However. Now I'm back at step one, flashing TWRP and finally LineageOS
That worked fine
So obviously I bricked my phone with Heimdall. With Odin v3.04 flashing has been a pretty straight forward process. The new Odin build failed at the hidden partition.
The "only" problem left is that LineageOS doesn't recognize my SIM-card. :crying:

N9005BTUGBOJ1 ROM
That looks like the CSC not rom .
CSC is customer services basically local network details like APN .
No British Telecom network .
BTU modem is the generic UK modem for non branded devices .

The name of the stock ROM I flashed is N9005XXSGBPL6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_N9005XXUGBOJ1_HOME.tar.md5

Thank you for the clarification. Which one is suitable for Germany? Does it matter at all? With the stock firmware telephony seems worked normally. Only with LineageOS no SIM-Card is detected.

Problems flashing XiaoMi Mi A1 in EDL mode

After a failed attempt to enable a Google Camera HDR+ port, I've found myself unable to boot and with a locked bootloader. I would also be happy if the bootloader could be unlocked, but I have no access to the Android settings and "fastboot oem unlock" refuses to act; and the XiaoMi unlock tool falsely claims that the device is already unlocked "and there is no need to unlock again". So my only hope is flashing a ROM in EDL mode with XiaoMi Flash. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done.
First of all, initially my Win7 64-bit systematically tried to load the wrong Qualcomm driver, namely "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E", which doesn't work. After forcing a driver update (which requires unticking the "Show compatible hardware" box: why??) I finally managed to convince Windows to load the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". The loading is only achieved if the USB cable is plugged in after a fresh phone reset with Up and Down volume keys both pressed (or, in Fastboot mode, after invoking "fastboot oem fastboot-edl" with fastboot_edl), but that's OK. Then, clicking the "Refresh" button in XiaoMi Flash' window, I see the line mentioning the COM port (COM6 in my case). Unfortunately, if I then press "Flash" the operation ends in error ("[14:09:30 COM6]:sahara read end error with status:9"). The log file reads:
Code:
[14:09:30 COM6]:MiFlash 2016.12.22.0(Release)
[14:09:30 COM6]:[COM6]:start flash.
[14:09:30 COM6]:received hello packet

[14:09:30 COM6]:before:flashSuccess is False set IsUpdate:True set IsDone True
[14:09:30 COM6]:after:flashSuccess is False set IsUpdate:false set IsDone true
Any idea? Am I using a wrong version of the QDLoader driver (2.1.2.2 25/03/2016) and/or of XiaoMi Flash (2016.12.22.0(Release)), and, if so, which one is known to work with a Mi A1?

i had the same problem i tried to instal gcam but i was usin a costom rom and my phone got bricked, my only hope was EDL mode but i did know how to do it, i just went to the service xiaomi and the fixed i recomend to you do the same, go to xiaomi service.

I do not know if you already tried this procedure, if you have not done it it would be worth giving it a look.

Thank you. I also tried that method ("deep flash engineering cable") but the results were the same: and from what I understand that's just one of the several ways of putting the phone in EDL mode, just like the reset with "Volume Up" and "Volume Down" keys both pressed, the "test point method" (which requires opening the phone), the "fastboot oem reboot-edl" command while the phone is in fastboot mode, or the "adb reboot edl" command while Android is running. My phone does go in EDL mode (which is why the QDLoader drivers gets loaded and Xiaomi Flash duly "sees" the phone); unfortunately something seems to go wrong during the Sahara protocol communication between Xiaomi Flash (through the QDLoader 9008 USB driver) and the phone. I suspect that there is some incompatibility between the Xiaomi Mi A1 EDL software and the particular version of QDLoader driver I used, but I already tried two different versions with the same negative results. If someone here has successfully used this method with a Xiaomi Mi A1, please let me know the version of the QDLoader driver that was used...

I did, in the Hong Kong service centre in Mongkok, but, after testing it, a the technician (not a very smart one IMHO) said that "it can't be turned on and the only solution is to replace the main board", which, as I don't have the original purchase receipt, would cost me HKD 1,000...

Hi everyone. Need some help.
How can i unbrick my ZenFone Max Pro M2 (ZB631KL)
Issues - after programm stuck, phone was restarted, and then - Black screen, zero reaction. No indication.

I tried QFIL with [firmware27]ZQL1820_Factory_201812071630_ChangeFlash.zip
But failed. Always one of two errors
1. sahara_rx_data:276:Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes
2. Download Fail:FireHose Fail:FHLoader Fail: File dosn't exist.

Pls share your knowledge to us master :[

1. Use QPST. QFIL without QPST will not work. U'll get error (File not found or file not exist)
2. Use QPST v 2.7.495
With 2.7.496 i was getting error - 0 bytes readed
3. Important. Use windows 7. I don't know why - a wasn't able to flash on win 10 with USB 2.0 port or usb-hub.

I currently have Win 8.1, I think I'll try with that, if it doesn't work, I can always make a new partition and install win 7 there. Anyway I have never heard of QPST and QFIL, so I'll do some researches on that.
Thank you for your time, we really appreciate. I'll let you know if I manage to unbrick my device.

Be careful. When u'll flash, don't forget to check couple times all settings in QFIL.
I'm talking about xml files.

I don't understand where I have to get the files I need. I saw I need the firmware, I guess, but I don't understand what's up with the XML file. Where did you get them? Sorry if I'm disturbing you again.

Hello colleague, I also have the same problem, I tried some programs, but they didn't work, but I still haven't tried this QPST_2.7.495, but I need the flash, because I deleted the ones I had here. if you found it, give me the link.
