So, my friend recently bought a water damaged ZR online (don't ask me why, I don't know why would he either), and the issue seems to be severe.
The phone won't boot at all, there's nothing, when I plug it in, no charging animations, nothing comes up.
However we did notice one thing, we could still access the QPST when we plug it into a computer, and the app does recognize it.
The problem now is that I've never used QPST and tbh, I don't even know what exactly it's for.
It's the only thing we could access, the phone doesn't boot into bootloader mode either.
At this point, is the device still recoverable or a motherboard replacement is a must?
Thanks,
no flashtool? no fastboot?
the kernel won't boot up? then you never know what is going on!
so let's flash with qpst => www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-YmQ_8OVuY
after done if you get to kernel and could get to recovery you're the locky person, after that you can see the error massages from kernel or even better log it! or to see if things going up or not! you might need a new lcd as it might be broken because of the water damage (it's the first thing that damage after water damage).
hope you get successfully bring back the phone

Ran into trouble already, it could only boot into Download Mode, thus I can't even get Service Programming working.

EDIT: After looking everywhere, I think I might need MPRG8064.hex and some other MBN files to get it working. I have no idea how to obtain the files, I mean no one has the files for ZR.
Perhaps anyone with a working ZR could try to dump them out for me?
EDIT2: Found them, but I can't get it to work properly, whenever I try in eMMC Download App and hit download, I just get Image Download Failed. Cookie not received.
I think it has something to do with the locked bootloader.
EDIT3: Nope, apparently I can't just grab some random hex and mbn files. I need a partition table in XML format, I need someone to make an XML for me with every partition laid out, anyone?
@341464 wow! it has more than 25 partitions! how can I do it just point me to a correct direction and I will do it for you

Tbh, I don't even know how to do this. Also I'm not sure whether the Hex and MBN files work, they're probably device specific.
There's this Chinese post mentioning how to dump these files, but I'm like extremely confused.
http://blog.csdn.net/benjaminwan/article/details/8854437
(I can read in Chinese, but Google Translate should work.)
EDIT: Apparently MBN files should have every partitions laid out, change the extension name to img and analyze it, we should be able to get an XML.
But I need someone to dump the MBN file first.
I very much doubt that this device can be recovered, due to the locked bootloader, LB might lock out the entire download mode from working.

I think it says "bootloader LOCKED" in the fastboot screen. That means, you can ONLY flash motorola compiled operating systems (specifically kernels).;
If you want to try, run a fastboot unlock-bootloader command when running in fastboot. A locked bootloader will tell you something along the lines of "command not valid"
Do not flash anything on your phone. That looks to be a unlocked bootloader!

Makes more sense.
That's my little secret.
I could probably pull whatever from it, but I'd need some help for what you'd like pulled. Haven't rooted it or anything yet.
didnt this happen with a GSM RAZR before? dont get me wrong, i'd love to unlock my bootloader! someone bring this to their attention
FYI, on Milestone XT720, Motorola left a partially working fastboot--we can "fastboot boot boot.img" to boot self-built kernels and this bypasses the signature checks. But you have to boot via USB each time, if you use "fastboot flash boot.img" fastboot will write the kernel and reboot, but the signature check will fail after reboot.

FWIW, the "SE" is the giveaway. If it said "S", you would be in business.
Rzrbck, how so, if it could be retrieved from the phone? Maybe I'm not understanding, but if we had that bootloader is it not like the normal S model with full permissions to the phone?
what makes it an engineering model? are the physical components the same, or is it a software setting that if we changed could unlock the phone?
would it be possible via hardware to dump an SE bootloader, and flash it to a S devic? I would be willing to give this a go if its possible.
if we could get the bootloader images off that phone an unlock for the Droid 4 might be possible. Assuming, of course that both the S and the SE model use the same keys.
Tell me what I can do to help.
I wish I knew what to do, but in the mean time, here's some literature on how the lock works (it's for the milestone, but the d4 might use the same infrastructure).
The bootchain:
http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/Booting_chain
The mbmloader: this loads the bootloader, if this is replaced with a version that doesn't check signatures, the bootloader can be permanently replaced:
http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/Mbmloader
The mbm (bootloader) does it's own signature check of the kernel before booting it.
If either the key burned into the phone's fuse, or the key the mbmloader uses to check the mbm are the same on both devices, one or both of those partitions can be flashed with with the unlocked version. If they're both different, this is a dead end.
The only other option after this (aside from espionage)would be to crack the signature system directly by either creating an unlocked version of the bootloader and patching it in a way that it generates the same hash, or discover a new way to factorize large (2048 bit) numbers, and reverse engineer motorola's private signing key. (If you were to discover this factoring method, nearly every security company would have to retool.)
edit: careful updating your phone, an OTA can relock your phone. The more I read, it seems less likely that the bootloader is encrypted. Dumps should be made, but this is going to require someone with greater knowledge than I.
how would we go about doing this?

It seems like you load a special kernel module to unhide the bootloader partitions then simply use the dd command to make an image copy onto the sdcard.

This got quiet. No news on this yet?
First few things: I've searched already, can't find any similar threads that actually help. I have the international version. I was running the CM10.2 Rom prior to 'the accident'. I will put a bounty on this if I have to.
There's a bit of a story to this so I'll go over it all - not sure what's relevant.
I've been running out of storage for days, a 64GB SD card is in the mail. I currently have an 8GB one as well as the internal 16GB, both of which were near full, but the external one had relatively more than the internal one, so I decided to use foldermount and link2SD to move some space over. That all went fairly well.
This morning I got invited to the Aviate Beta launcher, which looked interesting. Tried to install, didn't have enough space. So I decided to make a backup of Nova, go into the play store, uninstall nova to free up space and then install Aviate without leaving the playstore. It worked, turns out I don't like Aviate much, so I worked backwards. Uninstalled Aviate, went to install Nova. Not enough space (idk how). Uh oh.
So I deleted some less-necessary apps that I could reinstall later. Not enough storage. Notification comes up in the bar along the lines of "storage critically low, device may malfunction". Now whenever I attempted to enter settings, the process crashed. Great. Simple fix, flash a NANDroid back-up in CWM. I can't remember what the message was, but there was something wrong with the back-up.
Wiped everything and tried to flash CM10.2 from the external SD Card but it wouldn't mount. Data also wouldn't mount. I tried several SD Cards ( ie about 10, different brands, sizes, classes, etc out of hope). So I decided I'll open up and Odin and just re-do everything per /showthread.php?t=2387980.
Turn the phone back on, stock Jelly Bean lockscreen was there, and once unlocked only the notification bar was there (no launcher). So I used different versions of Odin, different cables, downloaded the image several times, etc etc. Nothing fixed it. In fact, it's worse now. after booting past the Samsung logo, the screen just goes black now. smh
Can anyone help? It would be extremely appreciated. It's also a time sensitive issue as I need the device for work on Monday.
Sorry if I've missed anything. Yes I'm a noob, but you great people at XDA have helped a lot of people out before so I'm hoping you can help me.
Thanks!

So after boot you get an totally black screen? Only theorigial Samsung boot logo before it turns dark?
I had this problem twice, but can you tell me if you start the phone after the dark screen do you have sound (like the phone still works, but only no screen) or nothing?
The first time i had sound, need to say that i never solved this problem, re-installed stock firmware, (recovery still works, you only need to know wat to puch) Unrooted my phone, and send it in for waranty, They send me a new phone, never know what was the problem, it can be o broken screen, but i never believed it totally... check this thread for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363185&page=9
The other time i had this i installed a other CWM Recovery Version, i had one installed, but some problems with it, installed an other version, after Reboot the Same Samsung Logo...Dark screen, installed this CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2464887&d=1387533161

WARNING: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU START CRYING INTO YOUR BRICKED TABLET
This guide is only for devices with "OEM Unlocking" option greyed out !!!
Others can follow the simpler procedure mentioned in the TWRP thread...
Prerequisites:
QDLoader_HS_USB_Driver (Google it and find)
Hex Editor (eg. HxD)
PC and some brain to understand....
Procedure:
Install the drivers and hex editor.
Clone this repo to PC - https://github.com/Naveen3Singh/BLUnlocker (Thanks to the dev )
Extract the firehose file from stock rom. (eg. "prog_emmc_firehose_8917_ddr.mbn" for TB-X304)
Boot into edl mode using key combo
or using adb
Code:
adb reboot edl
Check the port number in device manager and run " dump_devinfo.bat ".
Mention port number and full path to "*.mbn" file (eg. D:\where\every\it\is\prog_emmc_firehose_8917_ddr.mbn)
A file named " devinfo.img " will be dumped to the working dir. Edit it using an HEX editor as shown below.

Does unlocking in this way factory resets the tablet?

After unlocking, when u Boot into system it asks for a password, even if u didn't set one to start with (atleast in my case).
So you need Boot into recovery and wipe data.
Short answer: yes, factory reset is necessary.
Regarding file version, I hav no idea... May be u can give it a try...

hello,
I already root some device but here I'm stuck because I don't find the port number in device manager :-( drivers installed and "lenovo tab4 10" displayed in device manager. in properties I have : port_#0002.hub_#0005
I tried use 0002 or 0005 as port number but the .bat script failed each time. do I have correct port number ?
[EDIT] I have "failed to write hello response back to device" message and my tablet is in FFBM Mode.
[EDIT] in FFBM mode, my device is recognized in device manager (but i'm not sure to find the correct port and the script don't work) and in FastBoot Mode (first menu), my device seems to be not recognized in device manager. I guess that the script must be launched in this mode but I miss a driver. I install "adb drivers" + QDLoader-HS-USB_Driver_64bit_Setup drivers. What do I miss ?
Hey all. My wifes phone decided to brick itself. Hers is/was an unlocked unit not purchased from verizon but on their network. I noticed its now locked. It randomly reset and on boot, the screen started blinking and was unresponsive. Then it rebooted again and the "try again, factory reset" note came up at the top of the screen. Try again yielded the same pattern. So, I tried full wipe, same thing, loop back to the try again screen. Then, I tried to side load the ota. All seemed ok. Installed her sim, all good. Went to settings to change to 3 button nav and boom, fail and try again screen. Was this a delay from maybe a bad sim card? Is 3 button nav an issue? Did evil verizon lock her phone? Can they do that?
So, I ordered another 4xl because she needs a solid phone to function for work. Id still like to know if I can recover the borked unit. Any help is appreciated.
You did all the correct things. Unfortunately it sounds like a hardware issue. Anytime you factory reset you have ruled out a software issue. Further, flashing a "rescue ota" via adb that resets the phone even with a locked bootloader. You've done everything you can do, except leave the red devil.
So now, I have it working, but not trusting it. I dont dare change to 3 button nav though...hahaha Still going to use the one we bought so she has a solid phone for work.
On another note. We're now stuck in the gmail recovery loop. 2 email addresses referencing eachother for recovery of passwords. Its maddening. I thought if I could get her phone to work, there would be some google magic that may kick in.
Its all evil.
sadly my 4xl has the same problem, it seems to be a serious bug from Google and needs to be fixed. Phone can't access Fastboot mode or Recovery mode, it can only stay in 9008 mode. This situation happened when I tried to update android 12 version but failed. Hope to have help from the developer, because there will be many people facing the same situation.
Hey all.
So for carbon coupe:
1. Verizon can't just lock your phone if it is unlocked, this is something that happens during the manufacturer process. So if it randomly restarted there may be another cause.
2. You wrote that when on 3 button navigation it works fine but if you switch the phone starts boot looping. This is clearly a software issue rather than a hardware issue(there is no chip responsible for the type of navigation system), so there may be a problem with the OS. This is a good thing because it means it's fixable without the need of money.
Factory reset usually fixes most problems but not all of them, as some partition aren't changed during the process, like boot or system.
So the problem is in one of those partition, just like when you have a locked phone and after reseting it it still knows it is lock.
The solution is to flash the firmware of the phone to fix it.
For sSjBlueVN197,
if you are on this mode it's called EDL mode. If you are on this mode it means fastboot and adb aren't available. On that mode you can flash firmware to the phone, even if it is locked or bricked.
This propose of this mode is to allow developers to flash firmware if when the system is damage, and some other partitions like boot and others are also damage. It's just like an emergency mode to rescue the phone.
Anyway, for both of you, here is what you need to fix your phone:
*Keep in mind this only works on windows, and I am assuming you have ADB and Fastboot command line installed, and you have some experience using the command line, and you are using a recent version of Windows10,*
1. Remove Lmobile drivers(from device manager on windows) and install the Google one's instead. If you don't know how to do it just search on google and you will find a tutorial
2. You need to download Qualcomm drivers and QPST tool. I will leave a link to a website where you can download it.
3. After Qualcomm drivers are installed, set up QPST.
3. On your phone, if you have access to adb, run without quotes "adb reboot EDL"(for carbon coupe)
If the phone can't reach adb there are other 2 methods, one using fastboot commands and other using the testing pins(requires phone disassembly)
As my phone is working and running fine android 12 I only know the adb command.
Once on EDL mode the screen is going to be completely black, and device manager will se your phone as :
QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLOADER 9008(COM "USB port number")or something similar.
Now you can use the QPST tool to flash the firmware and boot image, or any other software that supports EDL mode.
Here is a link to a website which explains very well how to set up and use the QPST tool and where you can download all you need.
Hope this helps you!

You are going to need also these files, that are the programmer files.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I DIN'T TRY OUT THIS FILES, SO THEY MAY BE FOR OTHER PHONE OR MAY NOT WORK.
So please use this files with caution, I found them on a post of XDA and they are in theory from a working Google Pixel 4XL, so they should work.
Though I didn't test them so they may just not work at all.

Those can't just be extracted and you need the firehose file as well as a minimum (preferably a full EDL flash rom but if you have the 3 components, you can manually flash each partition. Unfortunately I haven't seen the EDL files for this device around..

Are these two documents? If so, that's great. When I enter 9008, it always reminds me that I need rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml files. Can you teach me how to do it and how to do it? Thank you very much!!!

Hi, if you're still covered by warranty, just send it in. The other option would be to flash the phone via EDL, which might not work at all. I didn't mess with that, I just sent It and they changed the motherboard within 3 days.

Correct. I've written a guide on this for the ASUS ROG 5 (linked below)- Follow Method 1. I'm not sure you can get access to flashing partitions without the Rawprog & patch XML's but you can try....

There is nothing much you can do except sending to Asus service centre (most likely motherboard change).
I encountered the same issue last month and had my motherboard changed too - this is a common problem with this phone and many people are complaining.

Hi, my mobile phone has only been used for two months and is still under warranty, but if I send it back for repair, it will generate tariff and freight, about $100, but it doesn't matter. I see many people have this problem on the Internet. I want to try to help you solve this problem, although I'm a rookie, , I want to learn something with your help and finally solve it

Hi,Thank you for your advice and attention. This is the first time I use ASUS mobile phone, and probably the last time. If it takes me time to solve it, it can be regarded as my counterattack to ASUS. Why can't I admit that this is their problem? I can't understand. For such a large company, I read the history of ASUS mobile phone, which seems to be a common problem
