Guys need help....I recently bought a Samsung S8 (t-mobile version) without knowing much of its history thinking it had a deeply discharged battery, but after a good 10 hrs on the charger it still won't turn on, no LEDs, no vibration, nothing, a complete black screen so it will NOT boot into recovery or download mode. However, it does seem to take a charge as the back side does get a bit warm when charged. When plugged into the PC (Win 10) it does not get recognized under My PC but I hear the USB plug-in chime and under the Device Manager, I get "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" on COM port 3. From what I've found online, seems like I will need the original S8's complete eMMC image and load it onto the sdcard and recover it that way, even if it's possible.
Can anyone help/guide me in the proper direction? Really hoping to recover this device. This might even help others who may have or will brick their S8's. Thanks a lot in advance

This thread may be old, but for now, the only option you have is getting a replacement. I had that qualcomm HS-USB composite identity on my hard bricked lg g stylo and i couldn't do anything about it but get it replaced.

ok. from what i am reading, you have a hard brick. that QDloader 9008 is EDL mode. the EDL files that we got from QUALCOMM must be sent to you, and you have to run a QUALCOMM software and apply those files through EDL. I currently have the files but I am not 100% sure how to use them. I recommend contacting https://www.facebook.com/GSMCHEN.up for help. he 100% can.

I have been told not to. Sorry.
I hope soon a solution comes out, while I continue with my brick.
GSMCHEN apparently can repair them, but you have not answered my messages.

thank you very much, I hope the link to try to unbrick my s8 +
Some of the files are in plain sight at AFH. The developer has all the required QCOM tools at the link.
Prog_UFS_Firehose_8998_ddr.elf file:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545585810
Notice it is UFS storage, not EMMC so make sure you have the latest QPST software. Thanks to the developer (hazmat) for the prog file but i believe we will need others also such as .XML's
Messed around with it for a little but didnt figure it out. Hopefully this is a start to dead boot repair for the SM-G955..The Dream2 awakes..

Not sure what exactly you are attempting to flash? Or how?
Can you provide more details on what happened to your device and what you are now trying to do?
Thanks!
Also note, questions go in the Q&A section, not general. This thread will be moved to Q&A for you. ?
Ah! This is what you are trying...

Unfortunately, if the method is followed exactly in that thread, and doesn't work.... There isn't much else you can do. Going to a repair shop might be the only way.

then i am trying to flash with (XT1052_RETAIL-EU_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_54_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml) then gpt.bin and some file enter but others file not to be enter then not come to fastboot and mobile like dead. then i am completely success with blank flash but same problem here. not come to fastboot and mobile like dead.
You've either downgraded and bricked, or attempted to downgrade and bricked. Ask for help in the thread I linked. But if it doesn't work, your device is likely dead. You'll need a repair shop to look at it.
What could you solve it?

Recovery is not available. Nether fastboot or adb.
SO, i have a 1st gen Moto X, the 2013 model. Verizon if that matters.
I havent used it in a while, and it was working when i replaced it. I decided to tinker with it a bit a few months ago, and was trying an unlock method i found online, and appear to have bricked it in the process. I figured, no big deal, and tossed it in a cabinet and figured i'd come back to it later. Well now is later. I'd like to get the thing working so my daughter might be able to play with it.
It wont power on, if you connect it to power, either USB or a wall plug, it does nothing, no charging indicator, nothing. I cant power it on, cant fastboot, cant get to recovery, nothing.
In my attempts to restore it, i've got the moto drivers and whatnot installed, and my Windows laptop will recognise it and add it to device manager, as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMx)". Which makes be believe there is hope.
I tried the procedure here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057, with no success, i get an error while it's trying to get an handshake from the device.

sdl_hello() - This is a NAK response from ROM code, which means the device has been reset back to blank flash mode. Usually this is caused by power supply issues. Please try again with battery eliminator if it persists
I've had no luck finding a way around that.
If i hold the power button for 10 seconds, while plugged into my PC's usb port, the green indicator light behind the speaker lights up for a second, and then goes out. Same deal if I try to do power+vol-up or vol-down.
Any suggestion that might help me move this along? If i can get it to fastboot, or a recovery image, I think I can get it from there.
Thanks!
That's obsolete, and won't work for your lastest bootloader. See next thread. And don't flash Moto at random next time)
Thanks for the response. I'll give that thread a look!
TF701T NvFlash Unbrick Solution(tested)
(continue of the threadhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655888)
Charge tab before unbricking.
Connect tab to PC.
If your tab not started already in APX mode, then run APX mode by pressing button combination Vol+ and Power.
Insall drivers from "usb_drivers" if needed.
If there is a problem with the installation of drivers, use Google to search- how to install unsigned drivers.
When device installed correctly run "tf701t_flash.bat".
If flash process interrupts with error like ...read\write error..., then probably EMMC memory chip is damaged and need to replace.
If flash process complete, then we ready to next step.
Prepare fat32 formatted microSD card.
Download from ASUS site update package.
https://www.asus.com/us/Tablets/The_New_ASUS_Transformer_PadTF701T/HelpDesk_BIOS/
It _MUST_ be Version V10.14.1.47, SKU(region)- of your choice.
The downloaded file will look like **_epaduser_10_14_1_47_UpdateLauncher.zip
There will be another archive inside that archive.
Extract it, and rename it to t4_sdupdate.zip
Put t4_sdupdate.zip in root of microSD card.
Insert microSD card in tab, then start tab in recovery mode by pressing Vol- and Power key combination.
Follow onscreen instructions to complete recovery process.
After all you tab must be restored to factory state JB Android.
Now you may update firmware version using OTA or sdcard.

What is this? A covert ad campaign for Mega? How about hosting the file somewhere that does not force you to download an app, open an account and all that cr***? I'd be really curious to see the code, but not like this.....

Where did you see the ad or need to register, or requirement of install the program for downloading?
Just checking in IE and FF.
I see a big red button- "download", no ads, and no requirements.
Ok, for those who have problems with mega.nz added a mirror for download.
TF701t - Hard Reset Fails ...
Dear Community,
I wanted to hard reset my TF701t to delete my data and give it to another one.
But now it stucks in "deleting data" ... that endures a minute then a dead android is on the screen.
When I want to reboot it, the hard reset comes again and want to delete everything, but the dead android is coming back :/
I can't go in Recovery Mode (Volume-down + Power)
Connection to APX works but, see pic below ...
I don't know what I could try anymore ...
Hope somebody have an idea.
Best greetings,
Symbic

Link to the picture is broken, so we cannot see what result you got...
What's your situation: Bootloader unlocked? Custom recovery? I guess not since you get the dead Android?
link to screenshot ok.
as i can see- problems begin after trying access to EMMC chip.
"Taking backup of EKS"
unfortunately with 90% certainty i can say that the EMMC chip damaged.

Can I do anything else to test the EMMC chip?

In that state the EMMC chip can be tested with the special equipment like EasyJtag box.
Hello Mr Bin, registered an account just to say thank you...
You have no idea.. was helping a friend to update, but the guy who sold it(tf701) had bought it from different region and turned it to US, so we ended up hard bricking it.
Long story short, we hard bricked it.
Thank you for your hard work in making the fix, and a big THANK you for sharing it...
Perfect fix, its better than before because it got updated to .47 (we couldnt update, no OTA no manual, too old version for custom recoveries)
Again.. thanks :good::good:
Thanks.
But, after clicking to RCK, shows Android with blue procesing line and after few seconds android with open door and red triangle !. After few minutes bootloop....nothing more.
What can i doing again?
Wow! It's back!
Hi.
First of all: Thank you very much! I was sure my tablet was a goner... It is actually back. One tip I'd like to add: I had to try around a bit to get into APX mode. But essentially I just had to connect the tablet to my PC and then push "Volume up" and power at the same time - and ignore that the screen did not light up ...
Again: Thanks a lot!
Mr.Bin,
You have resurrected my TF701T! Thank you SOOOO MUCH! You are an actual genius! Thanks!
Help w installation
I have the same problems although i have not installed any custom OS but after few months of not using it didnt load up and ended in APX mode.
Tried this solution, installed the driver, started the .bat file and ended up here :

I would be very thankful for any information you could read from this. Just would like to know if i even have a chance of getting it back on.
So, I was running fine with CROMi-X KitKat, but wanted to upgrade to Marshmallow (to install sw not supported in KitKat), so decided to try KatKiss 6.0. It's been years since I've played with flashing ROMs, but I did a little reading to refresh my memory. Then I rebooted into recovery (ClockworkMod), backed everything up, then wiped everything, formatted /data, and tried flashing the KatKiss zip file. At that point, it just sat there forever at the ASUS logo screen:
I've tried several times to boot back into recovery by holding the Vol+ and Power buttons, but it either doesn't boot, or boots to the above screen. I've connected it to my Mac w/ the Android SDK Platform Tools, but adb doesn't see any device listed. [I've got an old Windows laptop (XP?)] I could use if it will do something the Mac can't.]
Any advice on how I can save this tablet?
This method can be apply to tft300t?
Hi! What a great thread! After lurking on this forum for many years, i've registered to expose my issue with an old tf701 that was given to me by a friend. He say me he installed esexplorer and deleted file to clean space. Next day he rebooted and never been able to boot system. Now tablet is in bootloop ending with blackscreen and backlight on. Im able to open in fastboot and talk with minimal adb and fastboot. RCK update ending with fallen robot, Wipe data/cache ending with fallen robot. APX mode also working and ive run mr.bin's Nvflash unbrick tool with this result:

Hello. These commands for nvflash make a backup and installation of the system.

Thanks mr.bin for a great tool
Important information who uses nvflash!
3 files (ABTxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.bin, EKS_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.bin, PER_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.bin, which are created after running nvflash, must be flashed again. Otherwise, it will be impossible to unlock the tablet again and the serial number will be lost. Save in a safe place and then rename the files to EKS, ABT, PER.
To do this, create a second file with the bat extension. In a text editor, type these lines
Code:
nvflash --wait --blob blob.bin --bl bootloader.bin --download 7 ABT --download 21 EKS --download 18 PER --go
If these files are saved on the unlocked tablet, then after their firmware unlocking will be restored.
Also, using nvflash, you can resize partitions, flash a bootloader with file system markup, recovery.
There is no way to load an unlocked bootloader in this process ??
[WIP]Dissecting the bootloader aka: get rid of annoying "Your device is corrupt"
This is WIP (work in progress) ... posting this as a separate thread to get other people involved so we can try to get rid of the annoying "Your device is corrupt" thing.
On the back of my thread on the splash screen (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/development/tool-splash-screen-modification-t3874158), @AnoopKumar and I started checking the bootloader.
The bootloader is in the partition called: abl_a (and/or abl_b) depending on whether you boot from A or B slot.
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78409574&postcount=28)
All below is on Linux ... I am not a Windows guru ...
Take a raw dump of the abl_a partition. Reboot into TWRP, once there do: "adb shell".
Code:
> adb shell
# dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/abl_b of=/sdcard/img.abl_a
# <ctrl-D>
> adb pull /sdcard/img.abl_a
You will now have the dump of the bootloader partition in the file
Then, use "binwalk" to see what is inside the abl_a image:
Code:
> binwalk -e img.abl_a

It doesn't matter if you find it.
I don't think you can flash a modified BL partition and have the device boot.
This is part of secure boot. The notice will always be there with an unlocked BL.
It's on all devices that have ARM trust zone and secure boot, if they run Android.
This is part of Google's requirements.

On other devices they've been able to swap this image with another one to "hide" the message, to "get rid of it".
Would we sweet if we could get rid of the unlocked bootloader message too.

U guys should talk [email protected] We had this issue of broken verity with the essential phone and he came up with a redboot.img that u flash and it bootloops the phone and fixes verity. It keeps bootlooping till.it fixes it, then u flash a proper kernel and you are good. Cuz as It stands one can only resolve this properly with the tool

Different issue.
They are not trying to get rid of the red warning but the yellow warning for an unlocked BL.
On this phone, if you have a "red" warning you use the MSMDownload tool and go back factory including locking the BL.
This is a different case.
Well ... bad luck ... I tried to change abl_b and reflash it ... phone is sort of *dead* now.
Does no longer boot at all.
However, when I plug it into the PC, I can see:
Code:

And then:

I unlocked and rooted but only had yellow warning, but when i installed aosp gsi i had a red warning. Once of the step to install the rom was flashing vbmeta and disabling dm verity.

Disabled dm-verity caused red warning, i guess.

Well ... bad luck ... I tried to change abl_b and reflash it ... phone is sort of *dead* now.
Does no longer boot at all.
However, when I plug it into the PC, I can see:
And then:
So it is not completely *dead* but in some sort of Qualcomm low level mode. I found some info here: https://together.jolla.com/question...ss-modem-any-chance-to-bring-it-back-to-life/ but did not make any progress yet.
EDIT: looking at MsmDownloadTool to debrick the phone ...

Phone still dead ?
OK ... I managed to recover my phone !
A windows PC with the MSM program did the trick.
I am now back to stock 9.0.5

I assume that, there is nothing to do with the abl.img. Only thing we can do with it is change the default strings to a song lyric or something. abl.img is the uefi firmware i guess. Bootloader is using the images stored in the logo partition.
Gsi's flash without breaking verity if u flash to both slots. And totally format. Fastboot -w. The phone sees any changes to partitions as corruption and breaks verity, hence red warning.. if someone would be inclined to talk to invisiblek from the essential threads, he could tell u of a fix. The solution is not in abl. It's in the stock boot.img. if I had more time, I would help

Different issue.
They are not trying to get rid of the red warning but the yellow warning for an unlocked BL.
On this phone, if you have a "red" warning you use the MSMDownload tool and go back factory including locking the BL.
This is a different case.

No, they are talking about breaking verity also. Seems to be both messages, but more recently the broken verity message. Which there is two types, one u can boot from, one u cannot.

U guys should talk [email protected] We had this issue of broken verity with the essential phone and he came up with a redboot.img that u flash and it bootloops the phone and fixes verity. It keeps bootlooping till.it fixes it, then u flash a proper kernel and you are good. Cuz as It stands one can only resolve this properly with the tool

I would love that idea. That would be really nice to have on our device
