[Q] Bricked Zuk Z2 Pro (Z2121)

Hello everyone,
I bricked my Z2 Pro and after hours of searching and trying to fix it by flashing stock ROM via EDL I'm desperate so I would be grateful for any help.
My Z2 came with some custom ROM from shop with 1.9 version on it without OTA so I decided to flash it with different ROM. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and SU, but flashing Gedeon ROM via TWRP ended with an error (error code 7 or 11 if I remember correctly). So I decided to flash stock ROM following
this guide.
QFIL recognized the device correctly as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, but I kept receiving this error:
02:20:14: ERROR: function: sahara_rx_data:194 Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes.
02:20:14: ERROR: function: sahara_main:854 Sahara protocol error
02:20:14: ERROR: function: main:265 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed
Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail
So I followed this guide that recommends to use MiFlash instead of QFIL.
After few unsuccessful updates (it wasn't able to open the port) it finally finished downloading the ROM (2.0.057 ST) with this message at the end: The operation completed successfully.(0x00000000: ApplyPatch sector NUM_DISK_SECTORS-1., offset 16, value CRC32(NUM_DISK_SECTORS-1.,92), size 4)
It took about 55s.
However after I unplugged Z2 from the USB cable and hit the power button, nothing happened. Since the update the screen is off, the LED light is off. Even if I hold the power off button for one minute.
When I plugged the phone back, it was still recognized as QDloader 9008, so it is apparently stuck in the EDL mode.
I tried all stock ROMs from here multiple times with the same result. Multiple times with the "successful update" message, but nothing happens.
EDIT: Now, after few tries the of the same process it is not even updating the ROM at all. It says "Open serial port failed" and afterwards "Missing hello packet, try to recover" (I waited about 5 min, but the message didn't change).
Please help
I hope for a solution without the need to unplug the battery, but if it will be necessary, I will do it.
Thank you!

Yes, everything step by step. I even have the same version of QFIL (QPST is build 437 instead of suggested 434 - I suppose that won't be causing any problem). I tried to reboot my PC, different USB ports, reinstall drivers (as I previously had Lenovo USB driver and before the flash I installed the ZUK driver as well as without the ZUK drivers it wasn't recognized as QDLoader).

Zukfans.eu
Btw I'm unable to sign up to zukfans.eu to place my question there as well as. It asks for CAPTCHA verification, however there is no CAPTCHA shown, only the verification question "what zuk have you ?". I filled in there 'ZUK Z2 Pro', copied the question in there etc., used 4 different broswers on 2 devices and networks, no luck. And it is not possible to log in via FB as well.

I was working on it until 4AM last night and today I completely forgot to describe the important part about MiFlash
Please see in the original post.
Thanks for your your reply!

I'm not sure about Miflash. I used QFIL.
Also, I wrote a small tutorial. See if that helps:
http://zukfans.eu/community/threads...rom-zuk-z2-pro-z2121-only.57/page-8#post-7282
If you are unable to use that link. Below is an extract:
"The QFIL zip contained the ROM twice. so you can load the contents.xml from the parent folder or the other folder within the zip too.
Make sure you extract the ROM in a short part i.e. "C:\Z2Pro\
1) Firstly, the tricky part having the tool recognize the qualcomm port.
Solution: Uninstall the tool, USB drivers (i.e. Zuk drivers), any existing qualcomm drivers.
Reboot.
Install Zuk drivers.
Install the tool. (According to the guide, the tool will also install the drivers for qualcomm, but for some reason it did not)
Install the qualcomm drivers.
2) Fortunately, my phone was not bricked. So I could easily get into edl mode using "adb reboot edl"
3) While trying to get this to work, some RELINK driver was installed instead of qualcomm. Uninstall that if you see that.
4) Anyway, back to our troubleshooting. So you would think that you are all set and your qualcomm port should be recognized, but no. It failed to recognize. So try this:
Reboot PC.
Reboot Phone.
5) Now Proceed. Hopefully by now you have see your qualcomm port. Great.
6) This is the trickiest part. You need to click on the "Download Content" "IMMEDIATELY" "AS SOON AS" you hit enter on "adb reboot edl".

7) Yay. You see very nice progress in the little progress section on QFIL. You think you'ved nailed it.. But no, you could again end up getting another error. (Unfortunately I forgot to get a screenshot). Anyway, you would see this multiple times, that the "File access is very slow"; I'm not sure if only I received that error or if it is generic.
8) When you get an error at this point. Try a different port. Luckily, I got it to work on my second attempt on another attempt.
My review on the stock ROM:
Honestly, the custom ROM installed by the seller worked way better for me. This stock ROM had a lot of chinese apps (which of course I can uninstall). But somehow, the custom ROM from the seller felt better. Luckily I had a nandroid backup and I went back to it. The only drawback apart from OTA, being on the latest etc etc is that I cannot use the heartrate sensor (which is no big deal for me).
I guess I'll wait for another AOSP or another custom ROM or probably something with Android N before I upgrade again.
Hope this helps."

Thanks for getting back to me. I remember reading this before, however I cannot apply it to the current situation (but I tried anyway).
However there is an update to share. After some time I was able to go through the full download via MiFlash as before (with the 'successful' message) and moreover, flashing via QFIL finally started to produce something promising, however at the end it showed this message (no change to the state of the phone):
View attachment 131237287087498319.log
Next try showed the same error message as before:
View attachment 131237297946525488.log

SOLVED!
Hallelujah! After many many many tries (just doing the same over and over and over) the stock ROM (2.0.048) was finally uploaded (using QFIL)!
I was trying to hold power off and/or volume buttons while and after connecting to PC just to try different things and maybe that helped as well.
If someone will experience the same issue as me, I have one advice - don't loose your faith, don't give up!
And if you are thinking about flashing via MiFlash, simply just don't.

Glad you got it figured out! Enjoy your Z2 Pro

Hello there, I'm having a similar problem that the owner of this thread had, but the difference is that the adb doesn't detects my device.
I've tried to reinstall all the drivers, and downloaded the Android SDK tools, but still doesn't works...
Any idea about what to do? The device is with the screen in black, no led blinks or anything like that, and when connected to the PC, only detrects the Qualcomm 9008 port...
Thank you in advance.

Now after some research, I found out that the "ADB interface" is not showing in Windows device manager
I tried to install it manually, but can't find a way to get it working, and after the flash, USB debugging was set on, so can't figure out what could be happening...
Is it possible it's completely dead?
Any idea?

Thanks to valuable help from Emmaus and DanRO from zukfans.eu I managed to render my phone operable once more and now it runs flawlessly. This recovery is a life-saver for anyone experiencing bricking or malfunction issues:
https://yadi.sk/d/DfTYl-jz3Cxg76
_The first thing to do is to enter fastboot menu (pressing vol rockers will help)
_Then you will need to unlock bootloader with the dedicated commands:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash unlock unlock_bootloader.img
fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go
For noobs or newcomers: Be informed that you will need the OEM bootloader image from ZUK website through giving your credential and phone's serial number for unlocking, you can see the instructions on the forum or by googling it.
_After unlocking your bootloader you should flash the aforementioned and link-given recovery with the following commands:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery twrp_name.img
(Replace "twrp_name" with the name of the downloaded image and without quotes)
_Once you successfully enter TWRP Recovery menu, you can either flash a TWRP-flashable file or else, by tapping reboot button you can select EDL (9008) option to open 9008 port on QPST for being able to flash any official firmware.
_Check your internal storage on flashing TWRP-flashable ROMs. In my case, after I flashed recovery and then a CM-based ROM (AICP), I saw that the phone had only a 9GB-size as internal storage. If you happen to face the same issue, just flash an official firmware on QPST, as this problem occurs due to bad partitioning, at least that is what it seems.
Ask anything for any further details.
Thanks.

Can't power off....help!
Hi all.
My Z2 Plus is old 4 day! Buyed from Gearbest, i flashed the latest stock CN Firmware with QFIL, unlocked bootloader, installed CN TWRP and flashed GizRom 1.1 from Franck076,
After this, i backupped all from TWRP and flashed Francko76 Global v7 and Mokee Official 7.1.1 for test. To return to normal use, i restored the backup GizChina Rom 1.1 and i rebooted.
DISASTER!
My Zuk Z2 screen is black, no flashing led, it's vibrate every 25/30 seconds andt there's no way that i can power off! I read so many guides to unbrick, but all say that the phone is switched off. In every tested so it continues to vibrate...
Please, help me!

Also I am Now Bricked
When Z2Pro was hung up during QFIL connection with EDL mode, It cannot but wait until battery empty because it does not reaction to the reboot with the VOL PowerBtn's switch either.
if Disassemble the Z2pro then remove buttery,maybe re-QFIL.
Anyone,want you to tell me if you know the method for reboot z2pro.whthout Disassemble it.

Have you figured out a way?

Hi all,
received a Z2 pro, flashed with multi language rom, without OTA upgrades. When sim inserted, there was no connection to the network. After several attempts, i decided to send it back.
Ordered from another shop a new 2 ro, ( i know, very stupid to try twice) and this time, when tried to flash it from multi language rom, with an official one, it was bricked. Deep flash trick and.....
Tried several times to open HS-USB QDloader 9008 and once every 20 times it was a success. But, Sahara error all the time in qfil and hallo packet error in miflash. I'm out of ideas,.... Do you hve any?

Guys,
My ZUK Z2 Pro (bootloader unlocked) after finish loading the entire system (android) and appear the home screen, it reboots itself. When its boot it connected to PC, it does not reboot and after 5s I can remove cable and use it without problems. If the cable is in charge adapter, it also has the same problem.
Summary: I always need to turn on it connected in PC (with drivers installed) and wait 5s after finished loading all OS + startup APPs to not reboot alone. I install TWRP for good but no change to install custom ROM as it comes in loop after loading bootloader. Only ROMs that are stock, installed using QFIL works.
Do you have any idea?
Btw: I was using Mokee Rom without problems but after starting somes Frameworks apps te rom bricked out.

No 9008
Hello, i am new here and posted a reply in a different place. I think the wrong thread, so i will write here too.
I have a Zuk Z2 Pro. Unlocked bootloader, TWRP (twrp-3.2.1-0-z2_row.img) and installed several roms to try out. Then i read about a new ZUI and wanted to flash it. But, i made a mistake and now my phone is bricked. I read all about unbricking and flashing wit QFIL, but (and like others) my pc does not recognize my phone anymore. I can not work with adb (windows commands) and in QFIL i can not get the needed 9008 port. I installed all the needed stuff, but nothing.
Can someone help me out please. I already followed all the stept in some tutorials, but i get stuck with this 9008, which will not appear.
Phone does not start up. Recovery is gone, only menu with fastboot, recovery etc. is there. And the ZUI screen (from the rom i wanted to install) but the screen does not respond anymore, so i can not begin with setting the phone.
Is there a solution so i can flash with QFIL?
Or another solution?
Thanks,
Alex
Update 18-03-2018
This worked for me to get the needed 9008 port for flashing with QFIL:
- Open QFIL
- Phone must be off
- Connect usb cable to pc (not to phone yet)
- press volume up + power button and immediately connect usb cable to phone
- phone will vibrate 3 time (screen stays black/off)
- pc recognizes phone (there is this familiar sound of your pc)
- In QFIL you wil see port 9008
- just flash and wait till it's done
Off course you must have drivers etc installed on your pc, all the needed stuff for flashing. Don't forget to charge you phone.

I bricked my lenovo z2 plus, it is not booting to ROM or fastboot, it only vibrates after I hold the power button, and keeps vibrating every 10 sec, can anybody help me??

P9 bricked after relock bootloader (can't enter Fastboot mode etc...)

Hello,
I unlocked my bootloader,
installed twrp (this version ->),
tried to install CM13, but failed because of failed to mount /data
fixed that by formatting data
tried again to install CM13 but it still didn't work, because failed to mount /system
i gave up and did a restart just to realise that there is no system anymore i was stuck in a bootloop,
i decided to go back to Stock and used fastboot to install stock recovery for MM using SRK Tool,
choose to relock my bootloader and after the process it said "the device will now restart to perform a factory reset"
since then i'm stuck at the Huawei Logo (i think my device is stuck because it tries to enter the rom to perform the factory reset but there is nothing it can enter so it's stuck),
i tried to enter fastboot mode but it didn't work,
i can't even turn off my phone because every time i hold the Powerkey the phone just restarts
right now i'm downloading the ROM dload file and hope this will help me.
do you have any ideas/thoughts about this, do i have any chance to save my device ?
EVA-L09
was running emui 5 (B361 i think?)

Dload didn't work nothing happend.... is there anyway huawei will repair this ? if yes how much will it cost ? is there a chance they will repair it (warranty) even tho it was my fault, if i don't tell them what i did and play dumb?

If you power off the phone, and then press and hold the Volume Down key, THEN plug in the USB cable (attached to a PC), does this enter Fastboot mode? (white screen with Android logo)

No that doesn't work,
i now leave it on to run out of battery and then i try it again.

Yes - let it go completely flat.
Then, press and hold the Volume Down key, and plug the USB cable in. Once you're at this stage, you can use DC-Phoenix to update the firmware. Once this is successfully done, you then power the phone off, press and hold both volume buttons, and re-connect the USB. This puts it into Upgrade mode, and you can use DC-Phoenix again in Upgrade Mode to write the same firmware to it. Once you have done this, you should hopefully have restored your phone.
You may need to go back to an earlier firmware, such as B136, then go through the upgrade path again, if it does not work with B361.

thanks i will try this

it worked ! i unlocked the bootloader again and i tried to install different version of the Stock ROM (b182,b300,b361) i was able to flash b182 and B361 without errors by flashing system,recovery and boot.img but my phone always boots into erecovery and i have no clue why ?

I was in a similar position - until I did the steps I noted with DC-Phoenix.
You don't need to mess around with unlocking the bootloader by using DC-Phoenix.

what is so special about DC-Phoenix and why does this cost 15 Euros for 72 Hours ???

i had the same situation sir
i don't know what to do now
there is no huawei service center in our country
i cant use dc phoenix because i cant pay the 15 euros via paypal
there is a login form before u can use the dc unlocker
please any one help me on this
pls give me account in dc phoenix
i will give the money back via remittance
because i dont have a bank

hello guys
i have a serious problem here
this is what happen to my P9 when i try to unlock/root/install twrp
first i used SRK long chod v2.0 tool
the first step i do is unlock the bootloader and yes i can say it works
i unlock the FRP and Bootloader
then i proceed to the next target. installing the twrp recovery
i try so the twrp version inside the SRK tool
but doesnt work then i look some version from
official twrp website , same again does not work either
so i skip that part , and stop going further in order to
back my phone to unvoid the warranty
there is an option in SRK tool which you can relock your bootloader again
so i did relock my bootloader and after rebooting the system
boot stuck appears
no fastboot/no recovery/no system
even the key combination does not
work like forced update via sdcard/dload/update.app
i have no idea what to do now
but i read the thread from SCRAFI
that he used the DC Phoenix and
resurrect his bricked P9
i want to try that solution but i have a problem on that
i cant buy credits for 15 euros i dont have
any e-payment online like paypal bankcards/debit
because before you can use the dc phoenix tool
you are required to login your reserve account
for able to use it. and that is why im so hopeless that
i can ressurect my phone again
please help
please give me some account login for dc phoenix
and promise to bring back the 15 euros via

I know this is very necro, but I've come to encounter the same problem. However my situation is weirder. I did very similar steps: wanted to go to stock and used SRK Toolkit to flash the recovery and relock the bootloader, I'm guessing it was not the correct twrp version for my current os. I should state that I don't understand anything about how huawei works... by now I just want the damn thing to boot . My situation is that the phone vibrates and displays the huawei bootlogo and then hangs. I've let the battery die and then do the Vol- + Usb thing but it doesn't give a f***. It just keeps going to the huawei logo. I've already ordered a pentalobe screwdriver on amazon to try and disconnect the battery cable...maybe it'll make a difference, since its kinda sketchy to try to let it die but no so much that it won't even boot and just shows the charging icon...:angel: ***fingers crossed*** anyways if someone has any hints I'd aprecciate it. Wish me luck, cheers
Edit: today, 3 days later, I re-tried to enter fastboot with vol - and usb in pc and IT WORKED!! unlocked the bootloader and now everything is fine.

[GUIDE] Unbrick your device or recover from bootloop

Assalamu alaikum people,
Those on the telegram group know that I bugged you a lot about needing data partition. Because of my experience with unbricking and recovering the device, I can tell you a sureshot method that works to restore the device. Do not use this method if your device already works. There seems to be a lot of files inside the data partition which are necessary for the stock ROM to work. This method asks you to wipe data partition and so system update will not work. This should be a last resort. .
Many people seem to have come to the situation where they are in fastboot, and it says frp locked, so they cannot flash new twrp. And the system seems to be in bootloop and it does not work. What to do from there?
1. Download this file ->https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939832337.
2. In your SDCard, create a folder called TWRP and inside it, create a folder called BACKUPS (all in capitals). Inside this, create a folder called 7xtwrpbackup (small letters) and paste the contents of the zip that you have downloaded into this.
3. Boot to twrp in your device and go to restore. There you should see a folder 7xtwrpbackup. If you select it, you will get a checkbox below with recovery_ramdisk like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Select Yes and after restore complete, go back and select reboot and reboot to recovery.
5. Now, the new twrp will boot. In the new twrp, I want you to first go to wipe -> advanced wipe -> select dalvik/art cache, cache, data, internal storage and system.
6. Come back once again and select wipe, and this time, select format data. It will ask you to type yes. After that is done, come back once again.
7. Now select install and in that, install the openkirin RR image from telegram group or here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/rom-t3753555 (This step is optional because openkirin RR has a greater chance of booting than stock ROM. You can skip this step and directly boot stock)
8. Your system must boot now. If it boots, then all partitions are good. You can boot stock.
9. You can now can download stock from my post here and repeat from step 5-> https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/stock-img-unlock-indian-version-t3767569
If this does not work, then look at the second method in the next post

Second method
If your first method does not work, then you can try this second method. Make sure you have enough data left in your internet connection (1.8 GB ish) before starting the process. Please note that this method will lock your bootloader, install stock recovery, flash the stock system and boot your phone. Of course, even if it relocks the bootloader, you can still unlock it using your code.
1. Download the zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569970895
2. Extract it into sdcard directly (i.e. extract it to the root folder of your sdcard)
3. Make sure you have enough battery left (atleast 15%). Power off your phone. Now, press and hold vol up + Vol down + power buttons until the honor logo comes. Then, you can release all the keys. The system will go into emui recovery and restore your phone.
You will have stock phone at the end of the process.
Note:-If you still have bootloop at Honor logo, then power off the phone. Hold vol up + power button until the honor logo comes. It will boot into stock recovery. From there, you can do a factory reset and erase cache partition. Then the phone will definitely boot up.

If your first method does not work, then you can try this second method. Make sure you have enough data left in your internet connection (1.8 GB ish) before starting the process. Please note that this method will lock your bootloader, install stock recovery, flash the stock system and boot your phone. Of course, even if it relocks the bootloader, you can still unlock it using your code.
1. Download the zip

To help you a full firmware is required and that's not available for (India c675) yet!
Before any modification to system you should have a full firmware in hand.

Became interested in this phone since I found a 6/128 model for 160$. If fastboot is failing (maybe because of the different partition size?) I'd go with SPFlashTool: if I remember well phone only need to be swithed off when you start downloading the image, therefore it goes well with bootloping if you choose the right moment

That's exactly what I'm saying: SPFlashTool doesn't require your phone to be in fastboot mode, only to be switched of when you plug it in. I had the same problem with an Archos Sense 55S after treying to root it. I wasn't able to enter neither fastboot or recovery mode, therefore I flashed the stock rom with SPFT

Which model are you using, the 6/64 or the 6/128?
For the former you can use a TWRP Backup done by @dreambo in order to restore at least the boot and and recovery partition
https://forum.xda-developers.com/maze-alpha/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-maze-alpha-x-t3740575

Hi ttl1982, before giving an answer I should know what are we talking about. Is it the same phone? And which version? What is the current situation (bootlooping into TWRP, bootlooping into Android)? Even assuming we're still talking about the Maze Alpha X, there are still too much variables!

I have Maze Alpha X 6/64 model. If “bootloader mode” doesnt open how can i install ‘twrp’ ? About Thread article i read everything but my only problem is my phone dont open “bootloader mode”. And only solution is stock rom i think than you need SPFlashTool to install it. Maybe you know better than me how can i install “twrp” without opening “bootloader mode” ? I wrote above why this happened.
I click Power and Vol+ buttons as i show in the video phone turn of but doesn’t open “bootloader mode”

No, even in the case you just want to boot into TWRP (and be able to use one of the backups provided in that post) you need to access fastboot mode. during bootlooping does your PC find the device with the "adb devices" command (namely, as soon as your phone boots up you'd spam this command via terminal)?

Hi, Thanks for your quick response. I will share some more info like you asked.
- Phone: Maze Alpha X
- Version: 6GB RAM/128GB Storage
- Current situation: It won't start at all (when connected to Windows PC i get the 'USB device not recognized' error, so it does see something)
My idea is the following:
- Install recovery with SPK flashtool
- Restore with backup (i have this from another thread) or the system dump.
The above does not work because i do not have the correct preloader file (so SPK flash tool does recognize the phone?).
ADB is not recognizing the phone, so it can't be done that way (as far as my knowledge goes).
I asked Maze several times to provide me the original rom but i get zero response, no matter on what channel i ask them.

Yes I was thinking the same. Eventually you do not need to install the recovery, restoring the bootloader should be enough: if the bootloader is already unlocked you can just boot into TWRP and from there restoring the backup previously copied into a SD card.

P9 Lite [VNS-l31] [HARD BRICKED] [CORRUPT PARTITIONS] EDL UNBRICKING

Hi,
Hoping to get some help from the Huawei Dev community here on XDA.
POPPING MY CHERRY - 1st HARD-BRICKED DEVICE
Doesn't feel very good!!!!
So I was trying to upgrade my old VNS-L31 from Android 6 to 7 or install a custom ROM due to some apps no longer having support for Android 6.
Dload method failed.
Was on C16 somehow (supposed to be on C185). Tried to flash new OEM_info which is where the problems started. Initially my DATA partition got corrupted, not sure exactly where it happend but I suspect it happend while I was trying to fastboot flash the newer Android 7 stock system cust etc images.
No TWRP posted here on XDA worked - tried 9 of em NON WORKED
So I was stuck at 3.0.2-0 that worked from SRKToolkit way back when I first rooted it.
After the data partition get corrupted it all went down hill. Nothing worked to fix the partition.
No Dload method worked (finding stock roms for this thing proved a massive challenge so I was stuck with trying what I could find)
After flashing new C432 oem_info and custom.bin I I got bootloop and tried the following stock roms with dload
- C4432B172
- C432B413
- C432B130
- C432B172
Non worked, complaining about incompatible versions.
Stock recovery also couldn't fix the data partition
eRecovery couldn't find a ROM ( I think cuz huawei doesn't have the ROMs on their servers anymore (neither C185, C16 or C432 got a ROM on eRecovery).
With no other options remaining I was forced to try and fix the data partition manually ( this is where the device got hard bricked ).
So I used parted and deleted the userdata partition -> re-created it and added it to the /etc/fstab.
Using this post as a reference: [DEV][ Expand System Partition To 4GB - P9 Lite ]
Note: parted said the primary GPT partition table was corrupt. It said the backup GPT partition table would be used.
As soon as I rebooted from TWRP I got black screen everywhere and the only mode the phone would go into was fastboot.
Tried everything there to get the device back but with a corrupt partition table I knew I was farting into the wind.
After that failed I knew this device was basically dead and the ONLY, ONLY way to unbrick it would be to try EDL test points.
Ok so I got the phone open and got into EDL Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode (OLD mode it seems -> No storage device detected).
PotatoNV detects the device now as a EVA-L19C432B166 (I have no idea how that happend, I have no ROMs that has that BUILD).
I have QPST and QFIL but lack the programmer file and basic knowledge of how this type of flashing works.
So this is where I'm at - I think I might as well throw this thing in the trash bin but since I got the opportunity now to work with QFIL and try everything to unbrick this thing and gain some knowledge about how EDL mode works I'm thinking I might as well play around with it.
Any advise/Help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.
PS: interestingly PotatoNV generated a NEW unlock code for me now - cant believe I payed DC-unlocker to get me an unlock code for this phone.
So PotatoNV generated a new code not the old I had - and it worked to unlock the bootloader

No TWRP posted here on XDA worked - tried 9 of em NON WORKED
So I was stuck at 3.0.2-0 that worked from SRKToolkit way back when I first rooted it.
After the data partition get corrupted it all went down hill. Nothing worked to fix the partition.
No Dload method worked (finding stock roms for this thing proved a massive challenge so I was stuck with trying what I could find)
After flashing new C432 oem_info and custom.bin I I got bootloop and tried the following stock roms with dload
- C4432B172
- C432B413
- C432B130
- C432B172
Non worked, complaining about incompatible versions.
Stock recovery also couldn't fix the data partition
eRecovery couldn't find a ROM ( I think cuz huawei doesn't have the ROMs on their servers anymore (neither C185, C16 or C432 got a ROM on eRecovery).
With no other options remaining I was forced to try and fix the data partition manually ( this is where the device got hard bricked ).
So I used parted and deleted the userdata partition -> re-created it and added it to the /etc/fstab.
Using this post as a reference: [DEV][ Expand System Partition To 4GB - P9 Lite ]
Note: parted said the primary GPT partition table was corrupt. It said the backup GPT partition table would be used.
As soon as I rebooted from TWRP I got black screen everywhere and the only mode the phone would go into was fastboot.
Tried everything there to get the device back but with a corrupt partition table I knew I was farting into the wind.
After that failed I knew this device was basically dead and the ONLY, ONLY way to unbrick it would be to try EDL test points.
Ok so I got the phone open and got into EDL Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode (OLD mode it seems -> No storage device detected).
PotatoNV detects the device now as a EVA-L19C432B166 (I have no idea how that happend, I have no ROMs that has that BUILD).
I have QPST and QFIL but lack the programmer file and basic knowledge of how this type of flashing works.
So this is where I'm at - I think I might as well throw this thing in the trash bin but since I got the opportunity now to work with QFIL and try everything to unbrick this thing and gain some knowledge about how EDL mode works I'm thinking I might as well play around with it.
Any advise/Help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.
PS: interestingly PotatoNV generated a NEW unlock code for me now - cant believe I payed DC-unlocker to get me an unlock code for this phone.
So PotatoNV generated a new code not the old I had - and it worked to unlock the bootloader

Hello,
in fastboot mode (if possible) run commands:
fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
and post results.

Product model should be VNS-L31 - And it was before the partition got corrupted
EVA-L19 I think is the plain P9
Vendor country was C16 and then I flashed C432 (hw/eu) through TWRP
Ah **** ... just realized the OEMInfo I flashed was the L19 ( attaching it ) - the device worked after the flash though but it couldn't have helped with the dload version mismatch.

Try the following:
1. Download vns-l31c432b370
Link (2 .zip files - update.zip and update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip)
2. Download oeminfo l31c432
Link
3. Install TWRP 3.0.2.0, flash C432 oeminfo.zip file, DON'T REBOOT, go back in TWRP menu, flash update.zip , go back again and flash update_data_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu.zip.
4. In TWRP select Reboot recovery and do Factory reset.
I can't give you any better advice.

And I really appreciate it but I only have black screen rememeber...
No recovery, no eRecovery, no TWRP no nothing. The PC detects a fastboot device and I can send fastboot commands but that's it, apart from the EDL mode.
So whatever fix, it has to happen either in fastboot or EDL.
I need a programmer firehose file and some advise on how to use QFIL properly, or a solution in fastboot ( which I think is unlikely )
Thanks @-Alf=

But ur spot on with those files man.
Wish I spoke to you before I bricked the damn thing.
This is all on me ( and a little bit on Huawei for making an easy-brickable-device )
I knew messing around with the partition table would be dangerous, but I had no other options left after the primary GPT partition table got corrupt. Or atleast I thought I had no other choice, in retro-spect I would have tried a thousand other things before I modified the partition table directly.
Let this be a lesson for anyone else stumbling unto this thread...
It just feels like such a waste... There is nothing physically wrong with the device but almost zero chance of reviving it without the programmer files from huawei ( which I will prob never get )
PS: Maybe I can use some other firehose file...
Take a look at this site I found: https://www.leakite.com/?s=Qualcomm+Programmer
Maybe one of these programmer files are similar enough to use???
Anyone got an idea?

Huawei devices seem to be fairly indestructible, as long as the Bootloader is open, imo. If you don't mix apples and oranges, of course .

Well interestingly, almost every time I dload'ed some firmware (even though it failed) it relocked my bootloader.
If I didn't have a bootloader unlock key, I would have had troubles much earlier.
Note: This is why I am very sceptical about paying DC-Unlocker a bunch of money to unlock my bootloader without giving me a key (That's the only way according to them on the P20 Pro - I assume they use some exploit on android 7-9; 10+ they say is not possible).
Then again... after I opened it up and used test points (for the first time, mind you) I discovered this model's bootloader is soooooo damn easy to crack with PotatoNV. Even HARD-BRICKED PotatoNV still gave me an unlock key.
Plus the back cover basically just pops right off -> 8 screws and 2 connectors later and it's unlocked

This makes me wonder if the P20 Pro would be just as easy ( I have one of those too, that I haven't been able to unlock yet )

I've messed around with the system partition table the first time and also messed up. Then tried to repair it by flashing the stock firmware, thinking it would reconstruct/replace my bad changes to /system and it only made it lock the bootloader. Thankfully PotatoNV indeed came to the rescue. So after flashing some different firmwares/twrp eventually it booted to the stock rom and I was then able to expand the system partition and rock the LOS on the vns-l31.
So I indeed feel for you when you're going down this lane. Unfortunately, I don't have much to add but I'm genuinely curious how you can fix the phone out of this situation. If you ever find a solution that wasn't posted here I'd appreciate if you could then give us an update on how you solved it. This is the kind of stuff I'd love to learn.

Hi Phantom,
Thnx for the suggestion, will try flashing a couple img's later and hope for the best.
Else I'm still convinced I can fix it through EDL.
Will give updates here if I can achieve anything.
If you get any info on flashing through EDL, do let me know please.

As usual with my luck: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huawei_P20
The P20 Pro(CLT-L09) has a Kirin 970 SoC, not supported by PotatoNV.
So HCU-Client it is...
Which also means downgrading from EMUI 12.0.0 - here we go again!
