Hello folks!
I got my new Vivo XL less than 24 hours ago and messing around with it (as I do with all my Android devices) I tried rooting it as some people mentioned with rootking first and then remove it with something called sume-something, can't recall but I did it right lol. Right after this I restarted the device and to my surprise it was stuck in the blu logo at the startup (the one with the colors). I aint that stupid though so I went ahead and accessed the phone's original recovery to wipe cache and factory reset it as well with no success, I tried up to 5 times doing still with no success. Now concerned I tried reflashing the unit and again to my surprise since it is too new (perhaps) I haven't been able to find just 1 guide in which I could've just downloaded certain files and push them through fastboot or something, the only thing I found was installing TWRP or CMW through SP Flash Tool which I definitely tried and now the device won't even show me a colored screen. I was able to install the MDTK drivers so the unit gets recognized by my windows 10 computer and while trying to flash through SPFT the unit gets detected but right now the device just wont boot up and I can't find the way of somehow installing the stock rom (which I couldn't find) back to the device. I didn't touch the bootloader nor anything related to it just tried to root the goddamn thing -_-.
I'd really appreciate any help you guys could offer me, right now I'm downloading the VIVO XL backup someone left available at the following link but if I knew at least what to do with it :/
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4lgfv27jtgirkh/Blu_VivoXL_backup-2016-03-05.zip?dl=0
Keep in mind that my device right now is completely dead, I know I can flash it because when I connect it to the computer it gets recognized but nothing shows up in the screen , not even if I press the volume rockers or hold the power button.,
I'm even willing to issue a donation for the hero that could help me out because the unit was sent to my freight forwarder's locker and having it returned would technically be more expensive than getting the phone itself brand new, help a brother out and I'll do my best to help YOU out with at least a beer
Well after seeing so many views and realizing I could be taking advantage of the time I went ahead and downloaded the ROM for the geenios ?? S plus, formatted the device without the bootloader, downloaded the ROM and surprise surprise, it came back to life :0)
It however got stuck in the logo screen for 5 minutes but then android showed up. Just for anyone who goes through what I have and needs help, cheers!! (0:

what you 're saying is that this BLU VIVO XL device can be recovered with the phone rom stock Gionee Elife S Plus and if there is no risk of doing so ?

Sorry My English.
If you have a dead phone you can get to life but without modem, d´nt recognize the sim
This is with the rom Gionee S Plus in my vivo XL, all the applications works good, you d´not have calls or messages.

You can actually flash the Gionee rom and once installed use either the engineer mode or MTK droid tools to bring back the IMEI, the modem works but there's no IMEI and without it the carrier will not provide you signal, with the IMEI set (which is on the box and inside the phone below the battery) you will start receiving signal again. What happens is that when you reflash the VIvo XL with the GIonee flash it just removes the IMEI, but here's the thing. I didn't know about the IMei thingy after reflashing the phone, I was just trying to use my SIM certainly with no success. Once I was able to work out the Imei thing (I'm pretty sure I used uncle's app on android for the engineer mode) it started taking signal but it would just work for a few seconds (minutes if lucky) and then it would no longer have signal. After working this SEVERAL times I just thought to myself.. what if I just get a SIM from a different carrier. I **** YOU NOT, it worked. I didn't have to return my phone internationally (which would've been easier I guess but I liked the challenge) and ended up not only with a fixed phone, but rooted as well. Can't be happier right now, the phone, after a few weeks of testing this baby I can't complain, is definitely what I was looking for in a cellphone. Along with a few kernel tweaks it actually runs snappier than my girl's Iphone 5s, although I know spec-wise it's quite obvious.
Hope this gives you light, I know nothing about developing roms or such, just read for days without sleeping and worked the magic on this baby, embrace the challange!

Glad you got it working. What kernel tweaks are you talking about ? I'd love to flash a kernel on my phone
Sent from my VIVO XL using XDA-Developers mobile app
D'not use Gionee, there is the Vivo XL posted.
You can't write the Imei with thats apk.
Flash the Vivo XL rom with SP Flash Tools.

Hello XDA community yesterday I was using my pixel phone normally and it was working fine today morning I woke up to check time on my phone but my phone was dead, screen was completely pitch black, charging phone doesn't work screen stays dead, even its not going to bootloader it feels like phone is completely dead but when I connect it to pc I hear connection sound and a random pop up show that device is not detected etc. I searched on internet and it feels like when I was sleeping because my phone was on charging and WIFI was connected( normally I don't use WIFI I use mobile data) maybe a software update was installed which made phone software & drivers to get corrupted because nothing is working nor its charging, booting, vibrating its completely dead
I searched on internet and also installed QUALCOMM drivers on my pc that unknown popup while connecting while to pc shifted into
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
and I also get know that a firehose file can maybe fix my phone because maybe bootloader is corrupted or anything if anyone can help me in this matter I will really appreciate it. Thanks!

Did you try both
Google Pixel - Update and Software Repair
&
Android Flash Tool
flash.android.com
already?
Here is a guide on how to get ADB working:
How to install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux
A step-by-step guide to get you started with the Android Debug Bridge tool.
www.xda-developers.com
Do you have OEM Unlocking enabled? Maybe unlocked bootloader (if your bootloader is dead and you haven't unlocked it previously, there might not be much hope for you)? If you can't even get into recovery/fastboot mode, you are in deep.

You might want to wait some time, until the battery runs out/depletes. Then try to charge it/start it. But that route will take a couple of days.

i am trying to flash this firehose to my pixel but it is requiring 2 more files "RAW PROGRAM & PATCH" FILE if u can help me here i will appreciate that!
That would be the backup of the phone. These are not backups.
Hi, just lost my pixel 4 after an android security update .
It really looks like planned obsolescence, considering this is happening few months after warranty.
Like you i'm trying to find "raw program" and "patch file".
According this website, thoses files could be generated with a python script from a file named "GPT.bin" i'm actually looking for.
If anyone succeed to respawn, don't be shy and share please.

You are not getting your pixel back now u can replace motherboard now like i did i ordered new motherboard from ali express and Replaced it!
Just received motherboard from Ali and the pixel respawned.
Was charging my pixel 4, it was 100% charged for a good few hours, I woke up around midnight and was playing a game on my phone when suddenly it went black. I unplugged the phone and tried a few fixes. After crying it out and leaving it uncharged I plugged it into my portable charger where the lights came on, still nothing on my phone. I also tried plugging into my computer and no sounds or any sign it had been plugged into my computer from both phone or computer. I was thinking if this is a battery issue it should at least do something on my computer right? I have tried again to plug it into my portable charger and this time no lights on the portable charger. Maybe this isn't the right thread but I figured I'd post here anyway, any suggestions, should I take it to a shop? I'm not tech savvy, could it be a display or battery issue or a motherboard issue like above?
also to note, I had both the front and back glass changed almost a year ago now, and except from one dead pixel on the screen from the original glass break its been fine.
Also to note, I recently moved from Australia to Canada and am using a plug converter that my laptop computer is also plugged into and its fine, so I'm thinking it wasn't a power surge? It has two usb ports and a Au plug on the same converter plug.
Oh, you are not alone. 3 days after Android 13 update, I woke up, my Pixel 4XL alarm went off, used Android Auto to go to work and listen to music, checked email on it at work, plugged it in to my Pixel approved charger/cable as always, picked it up hours later and .... brick. No response to charger plug/unplug even with various other plugs and cables. No response to 30 sec of pressing power or power with up/down volume combos. It was a brick, just like many other Pixel 2,3,4,5 owners reported after various updates over the years, courtesy of Qualcomm chips and Google's lack of quality checking chips. Today's lesson: Stop paying Google for trash. It happened to me 280 days after the warranty expired. Google said that if it was from the Android 13 update, I should take it to UbreakitIfixit near me and they will fix it under an extension of 1 year to the warranty. We'll see. Sadly, it will still have Google's low grade Qualcomm chip design after the repair.
Bricked Pixel 5a/QUSB code of death
Has anyone found a solution to the QUSB code of death? I entered the club last week. I was using my Pixel 5a as usual, scrolling through social media. Then suddenly, the screen freezes, the phone shuts off, reboots, freezes on the Google logo, then shuts off. Has not turned on since.
I have done all of the rudimentary “diagnostic solutions” but to no avail. When I plug the phone into my computer, the QUSB device code shows up in device manager.
I filed a request to obtain a replacement/repair with Google last week. They gave me the option to replace the device after determining it was bricked. However, Google seems to think it’s liquid damaged and ineligible for repair/replacement under the warranty. The phone has never had any sort of extensive liquid contact.
I am currently waiting to receive the same exact phone back. So far, I have not been able to find a legitimate solution other than sketchy “freezer” fixes and uncontrolled banging around the device with the hopes of it turning on again.
Has anyone figured out a legitimate solution to the same problem among multiple generations of Pixel devices?
can you get into bootloader? power on + vol down.
or a response when you have it plugged in with adb devices or fastboot devices?
or try a force off? power + vol down + vol up for about 30 seconds then try to power on again?
I have already tried those solutions. So far, nothing has worked.
wow. i don't know what's going on. mine did the same thing on sunday. got it to clean flash the official 13 with the chrome flash tool. was getting set back up and it happened again. and i just replied to another thread on here about someone it happened to. they better not tell me mine is suspected to be liquid damaged. but if they're not gonna replace it, i suppose you could try the freezer trick. and the best thing to do would probably buy a cheap 3a and trade it in for a 6a. maybe i shouldn't go with pixels anymore though. only had the 3a and now this one. they should get back to me tomorrow. i gave up trying to fix it the 2nd time it happened. wouldn't boot into userspace fastboot. never saw the qusb issue
Same thing just happened to my wife's 5a while she was browsing Facebook. There is no user accessible fix for this; while the QPST/QFIL programs may be found online, the MBN files necessary to reimage the device are not.
If you bought your device within the last 12 months, you should be able to get it repaired under warranty.
Here is the link for warranty repair.

My wife's phone now has this issue and we have important pictures on there we don't want lost. Is there a way to use the QPST program to get files off of the phone? Is there another way to get the files off of the phone when we cant get the device to even power on? When I plug it into a computer, I do get the QUSB device to appear.
Hi! i was changing os to oxygen 13 smt went wrong on phone and it was left in safe mode after everything was finished i pressed reboot and since then my phone has no reaction to anything literally anything! now currently trying Edl mode however so far not successful. screen is completely dark no action power keys probably dont work, even when conected to charger nothing happens is there solutions for it anyone ?
@hackslash Has been looking for someone to get their phone into EDL mode in this exact situation to try and help everyone get MSM tool access to save the phone. Your options are pretty much three.
1) Contact the community here and try to solve the issue "ourselves."
2) Pay some """contractor""" to remotrly flash your phome for a fee. (Links to this can not be posted on XDA.)
or 3) Send it back to OnePlus via RMA process. Should still be under the first year manufacturer warranty.
So I recently updated to MIUI 14 and after using my 55w charger and playing some games, my device won't open anymore and it's just black screen, won't even charge (or what they called Dead Boot)
Then I have it fixed with a local tech, got to use it for 3-5 days tops, then it happened again. Tech says it was due to overheat. Now I am just so afraid to use MIUI 14 and wanted to know what's the best kernel and custom rom you can suggest? Also what are your suggestion to stop my phone from being "deadboot"? Thanks!
Mi 11 users have been experiencing the frustrating issue of their device getting stuck in a dead boot loop. This problem can occur due to various reasons, including an incompatible firmware update or faulty hardware. However, there are a few steps that you can take to try and fix this issue.
Firstly, try restarting your Mi 11 in safe mode by holding down the power button until the screen turns off and then pressing and holding the volume up key until your device starts in safe mode. If this doesn't work, you may need to reset your phone's settings completely or even perform a factory reset.
It's important to note that attempting these solutions may lead to data loss, so it's recommended that you back up all important files before proceeding with any troubleshooting steps.
If none of these methods work for fixing your Mi 11 dead boot issue, it's best to seek assistance from a professional repair service or contact Xiaomi customer support for further guidance.
Despite being frustrating at times, technical issues like this remind us of how much we rely on our smartphones every day. It also highlights the importance of taking care of our devices and keeping them updated regularly.

Thank you! Yeah it kinda sucks how faulty MIUI can be. I'm just so scared to use my phone now unless I found the best custom rom to use it daily again, and tweak it to stop from overheating (couldn't even use my 55w charger now).
I tried different methods before sending it to our local tech. Even draining it for a couple of days didn't work. I've been to more than 10 different tech but only 3 had tried to fixed it. Other says the cpu already needs replacements and such - but everything now looks great and I am happy some of my local techs are great on fixing this issue.
Just hopefully I can found other recommendations to stop this traumatic event from happening again.

Hey, there ain't really a "best" custom ROM tho, but they're all better than MIUI no matter what one you choose.
Just try out a bunch of them and see what's the best fit for you!
Hoping your phone doesn't break again
Ive had a problem after miui update too. Not as bad as yours but my speakers have stopped working rendering it unusable as I take a lot of calls. Only fix is using Bluetooth but I want it resolved so back to my Poco x3 pro. I'm currently in the process of unlocking the bootloader, just need to wait 6 more days.
A shame that warranty only ran out just over a week ago
I have installed custom ROMs before but our of desperation I asked if I could flash a stock rom with fastboot on a locked rom, but no reply and upon further research it just seems too risky. Rather wait the 7 days to unlock it.
