Stuck in EDL mode (I guess ?) - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

I tried to flash through EDL mode with this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/how-to-unlock-rog2-phone-via-edl-mode-t4008267
Turned out it didn't work, but now I'm stuck on a black and non-responsive screen wich I guess is EDL mode. Physical keys doesn't work either.
So I tried this repair method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/repair-rog2-phone-edl-modeofficial-t4012175
to no avail. PC sees the phone, but the flashing fails.
Is there a way out of here ?

Ok so that's Vol-/Vol+/Power to get out.

Stuck in EDL mode
Im in EDL mode and cant reboot the phone, anyone know how to reset?
Device manager picks it up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 COM 4

Vol-/Vol+/Power isnt working for me, do you just press each button in that order or hold them down?
Update: I held down all three buttons for around 30 secs and the bootloader popped up.
Thanks.

Moto XT1060 black screen from python

Tried rooting moto xt1060 5.1 with the locked boot loader method, and then got stuck at the black screen from running python. Computer still recognizes it as a QCUSB (COM4) or something similar to that, but screen doesn't turn on at all. Tried every button combo, usb port, how-to's, but I'm a newbie with this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Its hardbrick, run root file inside that package, but first read and install every drivers mention on that post.

Mi 5X - Boot loop and no access to recovery or fastboot

Bootloader type = Oxygen (not sure if that is the proper one for the device though)
Bootloader lock = Unlocked via Xiaomi official procedure
USB Debug = Not sure, I'm starting to fear it's off though
Original issue = My phone was bricked. No sound, display or whatsoever.
What did I try?
I followed an unbrick tutorial which made me flash an Oxygen firmware file. After that I get a boot loop. Mi logo and Android loading bar appears and seems to be like that continuously.
I can't access either fastboot or recovery mode. If I try any of the two button combinations I don't even get the Mi logo screen. I see the backlight turn on and nothing happens.
I tried flashing several fastboot roms, stock roms and firmware files I could find, flashing them with different versions of MiFlash. Except for the one I described in step 1 none of them change the situation as described in 'Original issue'.
I need to use the 'test pin method' to even let the computer detect the phone in MiFlash. The phone does not get detected inADB fasboot (which makes sense, as I can't enter fastboot mode anyway).
I'm hoping someone can point me in a direction which leads me to fix my phone. I'm not sure what steps I did to even get to the point where it stopped responding in any way. It has been some time ago, but I think I flashed an Oreo firmware file just before that point.
i did tryied test point (edl mode) and i think either i connect wrong point together or my rom was wrong and my phone can not boot or show anything . when connect to charge it shows key light flashing without any picture in the screen and without any vibration after pushing power button . i either dont have acces to fastboot now . what is wrong with my phone ?

If you find the right points you can get into edl. Did you try a cable already?

Nokia TA-1004 JTAG?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering does anyone know the Nokia TA-1004 JTAG points by any chance?
I tried looking around and I can't seem to find anything.
Because of my bricked device, I am thinking of going down the JTAG route to extract my data.
This is the absolute last resort as I REALLY don't want to loose any of my data, primarily Contacts and Messages
Hope to hear back from you wonderful lot ?

I don't know what JTAG is. Please give some more info about your bricked device, how you bricked it etc. It might be possible to recover it without hardware intervention. Looking at your current post I am guessing you have a hard brick. In that case you have 2 options:
1.) Press and hold power button for about 2-4 minutes and wait for the device to shut down. When the device shuts down, boot to fastboot mode and fix any broken partitions.
2.) If that doesn't work you need hardware based methods. You need to open your device and short some pins to enter Qualcomm EDL (Emergency Download) mode. From there you can recover your device.

Thanks for getting back to me.
I have done both suggestions and they don't work.
It is probably a hard bricked device, the only thing I can get is a 9008 recognition in Device Manager.
QFIL, OST and NOST doesn't seem or want to communicate with the device either
Did you open your device and short the pins required? EDL mode is different than Download mode. OST and NOST work in Download Mode not EDL. QFIL does support EDL mode. If you look at this article (https://xiaomitools.com/how-to-use-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-tool-qfil/) at Step 5 it mentions that the device should be recognised as 9008 which you mention it does. Have you installed the Qualcomm drivers? Please provide some screenshots too, it is difficult to help you without specific info about your problem

@emufan4568
Sorry for my late reply, but I thought Download Mode is the same as EDL mode???
And yes, I have the Qualcomm drivers installed.
I have also shorted the EDL pins on the board, this did not do anything at all.
I have tried QFIL many times and it keeps giving me error messages.
I have done so many things and posted screenshots across the forums that I am at a complete lost!

EDL mode is Emergency Download Mode in Qualcomm devices for recovering the device at a low level. QFIL calls it download mode but it really is not. Download mode in Nokia phones is really fastboot mode or bootloader mode where you basically communicate with the bootloader and flash/erase images from the device. From what I have seen though NOST supports EDL mode too (with the Emergency Download option) but it does not really work well.

HELP ME!!! BRICK/BLANK SCREEN

Hey! You may be on EDL mode.
To exit it you have to press power button and one of the volumes buttons, though I don't remember which one. Just have a look on Google and you will find something.
As for the certificate, I saw people having that problem if they replaced the front camera or the face id module. I don't if that's your case, but as you have root you may be able to recover face id functionality.
Let me know how it goes!

Connect your phone to the PC(must be running windows). The open device manager and under the ports tab, do you see "Qualcomm HS-USB Qloader 9008 (COM *a number*)? Or something similar

Then you are on EDL mode, as when you boot in that mode, the phone change how it shows up on the PC. You need to try to get out of there. If you can't, as you said you were having issues with the OS, maybe something is broken and the phone can't boot up.
When Android starts it has 2 bootloaders (the normal bootloader and the secondary one, which has EDL mode). If the standard bootloader fails, then it uses the second one which is EDL.
So here are some suggestions:
1. Try to hold the power key + volume up key for several seconds. If it doesn't work do the same with the volume down key
2. If that doesn't work there is another method, though it's riskier and might not work. Try to open the phone and disconnect the battery, leave it disconnected for some seconds, reconnect and try to boot the phone.
If none of those things worked for you, it means you will need to flash the firmware to your phone using EDL, as the bootloader is damaged.
Unfourtynaly there is not much info on using EDL on Pixel devices, though a lot of people use EDL to unlock Xiaomi's bootloader, so maybe have a look on those forums. On my profile, I tried to use the EDL mode to unlock a Pixel bootloader(mine is carrier-locked), though had no success, you will find a lot of helpful information to solve your problem, like the tools and files you will need and some overall idea of how EDL works.
Hope those help you and let me know if I can help you further

Asus Rog Phone 3 Uber hard brick

Hi Guys,
I really need help with this one. I have tried almost everything.
Here is my problem.
I have an Rog phone 3 strix edition QUALCOMM based.
I repaired the screen because i dropped the phone.
Everything was fine working well. Me with my big head decided to do an factory reset to wipe everything clean from the phone and then the problem started.
The phone was restarting every time i plugged in a usb c cable. If i wanted to listen to some music on headset wont work because it will end in a bootloop.
Now the phone is stuck in CSC Fastboot mode and PC wont recognized it. The screen will turn on and send me to CSC fastboot but that's it. I can turn it back off.
Can i Revive the phone or is it food for the recycling bin?
Please Help.
Sincerely,
Ayolyas
With some effort you should be able to get back on track - unless it's hardware related to the display change you've done.
Can you do a reboot to bootloader from the boot menu? If you can confirm if you have fastboot access. If you do, RAW flash the device.
Worst case, you force the device into EDL mode and do a flash from there, but leave at as the last option.
If the relpaced display is causing harware issues, that's a bigger problem...
Hi Andrologic,
I cannot reboot to the bootloader. I am stuck in csc fastboot. I was trying to put it in edl mode i even bought an edl cable. But i have no idea how to use it or how to put the phone in edl.
I went back to the repair shop but the phone was working fine when it left the phone shop. The problem started when i decided to go for factory reset.

So, when you turn on the device, it falls into CSC FB and you can't navigate anywhere at all from there?
What happens if you try to do a RAW flash from CSC FB?
Flashing it in EDL mode may otherwise be the only option. Power off the device completely. Then hold Vol up+down pressed and connect to the USB side port. You should land with a completely black screen and on your pc see the device identified in 9008 mode - that's EDL. Since you have a flash cable, you can obviously use that too.
Remember you need Qualcom drivers installed to work in EDL mode. There is a guide with steps for EDL flashing somewhere here on the forum. All the steps are explained.

I cannot navigate anywhere from csc. If i try to reboot bootloader i will end in the same place.
I try to connect like you told me Vol up + down but i ended up at the same place. An raw flash from csc fb how do i do that?
And the steps for edl if you can help where to find those steps because my google history is full off items and still no luck finding the right one.

Yes, you have flash cable, so getting into EDL shouldn't be an issue any way.
This is a useful video on how to use your flash cable to force the device to EDL:
Just remember you need QCom drivers installed to flash in EDL mode, the normal drivers won't do it in EDL.
What is the device identified as on your PC when in CSC FB? Can you send any FB commands to the device at all? Does 'Fastboot Devices' return your device id? If so, try first to do a RAW flash from the Fastboot state you are stuck at. You don't really want to mess with EDL if you can avoid it. Download one of the RAW rom's from the links here on the forum. Version number doesn't matter as long as it matches with your device version, i.e. WW assuming you're on Global.

Hi,
Nope. I can get into EDL mode so i think it is hardware related. You can say it is fresh for the garbage.
