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??
Hi.
i hard-bricked my Redmi 9T while trying to flash a custom rom
i cant boot into recovery or fastboot, i only see "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in the device manager when i connect the phone
when i try to flash the stock rom using MiFlash i get an error saying my account is unauthorized
i googled it and apparently what i need is a patched firehose file to bypass this authorization check, or get someone with an authorized account to help
i searched a lot but never found a patched firehose that works for my phone
if someone can give me some directions as to where i can find this file or how to patch the original myself, that would be great
Thanks!
Edit:
I ended up paying a russian guy to help me flash with an authorized account
he is MOD EDIT: Content Removed if anyone is wondering
i also contacted the guy.. didn't avail his services
but he passed my scam mockup.. he is legit..
Just buy Miracle Xiaomi Tool Login Edition and flash all rawprogram xml in edl (9008) mode

hmmm...i dont own thhis device but i think u can try this way by miflash
First of all, ur device have to have the BL unlocked. Maybe also 9008 works.
download the stock ROM from here
remember to scroll down and download the .tgz file
after it finished, extract it
and open miflash (recommend version)
select to the folder u just extracted, and refresh (f in fastboot with BL unlocked, it shows ur device number; if in 9008, it shows as COM port.)
choose erase all (don't lock)
then just press flash
Hi, If you entered the engineering firmware mode (EDL) and can not flash the phone without a service account:
1. Download the firmware from here ENGINEERING ROM
2. Check that the device would be defined as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the device manager when connect the phone
3. Firmware using MiFlash engineering rom from paragraph 1
4. Loading to engineering rom
5. Overload to Fastboot mode
6. We flash the rom you need through Miflash

this method will damage imei ,best way is to find the No auth firehorse and replace it with the one inside firmware folder,then use miflash
I found a thread where he made a firehose programmer for this device.

Hello everyone today i flash an incompatible rom with twrp and my screen turn completely black After reboot twrp in recovery .
Do you have solution ?
Sorry for my bad English
Hi if you can open bootloader, flash stock rom
The easy solution is press power+volume down. Phone should boot into fastboot mode. Then flash fastboot ROM without relocking the bootloader.
The other way is taking phone to service center. They'll flash stock in edl mode.
I can't seem to put it in fastboot mode. but by pressing the 3 buttons or by changing the buttons I managed to put it in something else I think that at times I manage to put it on a fastboot but the screen always remains black impossible to know i have this message in device manager (Unknown usb devices request for descriptor) do you think it causes me to reinstall drivers what could be the cause? how to adjust as soon as i can connect it so l is not a Qualcomm USB hs 2008.

Doesn't EDL need authorized mi account these days? It'd better to visit service center because installing EDL driver & all the fuss will be useless
May be you can find some drivers which can recognise your phone to work with ADB in fastboot and flash a new ROM. If that doesn't work, then a service center is the next best option.

Sounds like your device boots into EDL mode, likely due to a corrupted bootloader from the incompatible firmware you've flashed. If you have the EDL firehose files for your device, you can use QFIL to flash a compatible ROM, alternatively try to EDL flash the boot partition with a working boot (that may get you from EDL to a soft brick with a working bootloader and Fastboot - from there you can try try and flash a working firmware).

I unfortunately tried to install all the drivers but nothing has worked difficult to know if a fastboot is started it's a hassle when the screen is completely black even with the task manager open I don't I did not succeed finally I ended up paying someone who had me unlock my phone it cost me 29 € my phone is now unlocked which I can advise on the other hand for those who would like to install roms or root their phone is good it is to wait until no auth file is leaked

I see it's super interesting as information I did not know that we could flash only a partition with QFIL.
Unfortunately I could not find the firehose files for the phone as the phone is probably very recent.
I had to pay someone to unlock my phone with an edl account of course .
My work now
Was the unlocking done in person or online? Anyways glad to see it's sorted out.

Hello. Sorry for my poor english.
I have xiaomi redmi 9t lime hardbriked.
No recovery, no fastboot, no boot...
The bootloader is unlocked.
The only hope left is flash stock rom în edl.
I put my phone in edl mode with test point.
Drivers ar corectly installed and Phone is properly recognized in device manager.
The big problem is I can't flash with MI flash because I don't have Authorized Account and Qfil/Qpst wont work.
The stock firmware is redmi 9t lime global fastboot version.I try everything with qfil with no succes.
I need a patched firehose file or a working solution to flash stock firmware în edl.
Thanks a lot.
Any fix please
If you want to have a functional phone, and you have limited skills, don't mess with your rom ffs...or use Miracle Xiaomi Tool Login Edition...pay someone to help you.
just install Miflash and Lastest fastboot Firmware then unpack it and copy this file (firehose) inside the image file ( Replace the old one) and start flash

Thanks a lot! I have the nearly the same problem like @autototal . My phone stopped working and is only recognized as QDLoader 9008. The strange thing in my case is that I had a working Pixelblaster ROM for month on it and it just died without a reason. I never opened the back to bring it to EDL mode.
Anyway... I also got the "only nop" error in the Mi Flash Tool. I tried flashing it with your firehose_ddr.zip and IT WORKED. But then I tried to turn on the phone and it is still in the same state as before (only QDLoader 9008 and no fastboot or anything). Do you have any idea what I could do to bring it back to live?
Thanks a lot

I had the exact same issue. A perfectly working phone for 3 months. Then I turn it off one day and it won't turn back on. I couldn't get MiTools to flash it no matter what I tried.
I found a set of videos that detail removing a capacitor from the main board.
This worked to get my phone booting again with no issues. It may be worth a try if all else fails and you need your data and/or aren't covered under warranty.

Welp, first day of owning the OnePlus Ace and I've already bricked it lmao. Need some help in trying to unbrick it.
So last night I successfully rooted my device using magisk, but after experimenting I just decided to revert back to being unrooted, since I realised I didn't actually need many of the functions root allows. Derooted using Magisk, checked that it was unrooted, then went into fastboot mode to re-lock the bootloader. Did so, restarted and I was presented with the dreaded "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed" error screen and endless bootlooping. I cannot access fastboot mode or recovery mode with button combinations, tried holding Vol + and power, Vol - and power but no dice. I believe I ended up bricking because I forgot to flash the stock vbmeta.img before locking the bootloader.
I've made some progress in getting to the MediaTek Emergency Download Mode (which I believe is also either called BROM or Preloader) in order to flash a stock rom. I found out that holding down both Vol + and Vol - at boot will enable this emergency download mode for a few seconds, before going to the destroyed boot/recovery error screen. The issue is, while I've managed to get the phone detected by my computer in this state in COM5 as a 'MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM_V1632 (Android), none of the programs said to flash a stock rom will detect it. I've tried mtk_client, mtk bypass tool, SP Flash, even regular fastboot and adb tools, but none of them will detect the device, even though Windows does.
The only smart thing I did was refraining from transferring all of my files from my old phone to this one, so luckily I've got a phone to fall back on. Basically, until I find a fix, the Ace will have to stay in it's box makes me wish I never messed with root in the first place lmao. And because I imported the phone there's no warranty and no service centres for OnePlus in my country that can help.
Anyone have any ideas for how I can get the phone detected in these applications? Is it an issue of the SoC not being supported yet by these programs because it's relatively new? Are there any alternate ways to get to the fastboot menu? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Update: If someone would be able to extract a scatter file from their own OnePlus Ace too, I think that may help me
Sorry that you've ran into this, but thanks for confirming bootloader can be unlocked, and root is possible.
Getting the 10R over the Realme GT 2 (sad situation of bootloader unlock not possible). Hope you get an extract soon
Made some progress!
Got my hands on the Ace's firmware files, which included the scatter file. Redownloaded the newest 6.2 version of SP Flash Tool and loaded the scatter and auth files successfully. Clicked download, connected USB to phone while holding Vol + and Vol - and finally! Sp Flash Tool connected to the phone! However, now I've run into another problem: SP Flash Tool will show a red progress bar at the bottom saying 'Download DA', it will reach 100% quickly then throw me a very vague error simply saying 'error_msg'. And that's it. Tried unchecking different boxes, reinstalled drivers but it will always throw back this error.
Any ideas to figure out what the error is and fix it would be amazing
hello, im here to show support. My ace also bricked because i want to change from color os to oxygen. I used fastboot enhanced, might have missed a step and bricked. Mine also import, but the shop i bought offers 1 year warranty. Shop says have to wait for msm download tools to reflash or i have to pay $60 to send back to China because my own fault. Man, it is going to be a long wait for msm tools. haha

Tried this method, but didn't work. Kept giving me a "Handshake failed: retrying" error when connecting the phone to the computer.
Here's a link the the firmware: OnePlus Ace Firmware

maybe this is because of the new chip and there is no support for bypassing it.I thought the method would work.also a tip-edit the scatter file, namely partition_name: super or system,changing the value is_download: false to is_download: true.hopefully help
And thank you for sharing the files
I too am stuck with Brick.
Is there a Bypass for the Demesity 8100 being developed?
This device is mostly Oppo, but there is no Oppo flash Tool?
There is very little information available.

Welp, first day of owning the OnePlus Ace and I've already bricked it lmao. Need some help in trying to unbrick it.
So last night I successfully rooted my device using magisk, but after experimenting I just decided to revert back to being unrooted, since I realised I didn't actually need many of the functions root allows. Derooted using Magisk, checked that it was unrooted, then went into fastboot mode to re-lock the bootloader. Did so, restarted and I was presented with the dreaded "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed" error screen and endless bootlooping. I cannot access fastboot mode or recovery mode with button combinations, tried holding Vol + and power, Vol - and power but no dice. I believe I ended up bricking because I forgot to flash the stock vbmeta.img before locking the bootloader.
I've made some progress in getting to the MediaTek Emergency Download Mode (which I believe is also either called BROM or Preloader) in order to flash a stock rom. I found out that holding down both Vol + and Vol - at boot will enable this emergency download mode for a few seconds, before going to the destroyed boot/recovery error screen. The issue is, while I've managed to get the phone detected by my computer in this state in COM5 as a 'MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM_V1632 (Android), none of the programs said to flash a stock rom will detect it. I've tried mtk_client, mtk bypass tool, SP Flash, even regular fastboot and adb tools, but none of them will detect the device, even though Windows does.
The only smart thing I did was refraining from transferring all of my files from my old phone to this one, so luckily I've got a phone to fall back on. Basically, until I find a fix, the Ace will have to stay in it's box makes me wish I never messed with root in the first place lmao. And because I imported the phone there's no warranty and no service centres for OnePlus in my country that can help.
Anyone have any ideas for how I can get the phone detected in these applications? Is it an issue of the SoC not being supported yet by these programs because it's relatively new? Are there any alternate ways to get to the fastboot menu? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Unfortunately not yet, the most promising option will be to wait for an MTK Auth Bypass utility to be developed for the Dimensity 8100 chipset. There might be active development on this front, so hopefully it will come soon.
The other option would be to find someone to do a remote flash, someone who has official Oppo/OnePlus flashing software and an account to use it. I believe I've found the official firmware to flash the phone in this state, however you need credentials to log in to it and access it. I think it will also specifically have to be Chinese credentials, as India login details may not allow you to flash a OnePlus Ace model. I tried to get someone over at (<Moderator Edit>: unallowed site name removed) to do a remote flash, and he couldn't because he had India credentials, but not Chinese credentials

Oh. I had OnePlus 7 previously, there were few ways to flash stock firmware. The common one was MSM Tool, other one was Fastboot enhance.
But few times I flashed stock firmware manually like payload dump payload.bin and flash partitions manually from fastboot. Maybe this could work.

I seem to have made fastboot inaccessible on my device, so I've been unable to use Fastboot enhance or utilise any ways to flash using fastboot
Damn!! I hope you find some way to fix your device. Good luck.

Hello. after unlocking the bootloader I have the message "Orange State. OS Not Being Verified Or Custom OS. Dismiss After 5 Seconds." but the system booted up. After uploading boot.img, the phone got stuck in bootloop. Unfortunately, the guide above did not help.

Are you still able to boot to Fastboot?

Yes. I can flash files in cmd and FastbootEnhance but in practice it looks like they were not saved.

So you are not able to boot right?
If not, you can try flashing the partitions manually from fastboot. (If you are willing to try I can provide the steps. This works for other OnePlus devices.)
