I recently picked up a Pantech Burst phone from At&t, and upgraded to ICS. I then proceeded to root the phone using the prestoroot.img method and it worked. Everything was running dandy until I got the VM Heap tool app and(stupidly) set the vm heap to 52m and attempted to reboot... It failed and all I got was a loop of boot up animations. I tried several times to reboot, and then tried to boot to recovery mode and factory reset. That worked, but it STILL didnt reboot..! I dont have a backup, and whenever i try to " Install update from external storage", it just fails over and over again. I found thestock firmware and downloaded it to my external sd card and install(still to no success). Im only 13 and cant afford a new phone! PLEASE SOMEONE HEEEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bricked my phone few days back doing restore from CWM 6 downloeded online from ROM manager,
I wiped cache dalvik etc & rebooted, I could see the Tap the android screen then suddenly blank now it wont start
I get QHSUSB_dload in PC device manager any way out
I tried this method but I dont get the download button to click it remains greyed out.
Is there any driver for QHSUSB_dload?
Or do I have no hope at the moment or in near future?
just don`t use ROM manager for installing recovery . usually the result is bricked phone
Yah, i remember a fastboot brick i got from rom manager (LG Optimud ME)
Sent from a 2.8 inch screen
I also just bricked my Pantech Burst the same way...using ROM Manager. Is there a way to fix this or am I out of luck? I did try the method posted at the top of this thread. It just gets locked in the S/W Upgrading screen. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I'm too in same situation.....i tried it updating via Pantech OS Upgrade tool......it updates successfully but doesnot bootup....
and now it shows some S/W Upgrading with red colour background
plz help me out:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Mine did not upgrade successfully, but I have the exact same problem. On day three of waiting for a callback from Pantech on the issue. They are supposedly talking to the techs in Korea about it.
Maybe solved!

Don't know if this is going to help, but I had the problem (as I described) red S/W Upgrading and couldn't do anything. Well, after about two weeks of sitting with the battery out, I decided to redownload and rerun the Pantech update app, and lo and behold, it fixed my phone. It also installed a more up to date version of Android 4.0, I went from 4.01 to 4.04.
This is after running the updater a good 30 or so times the past two weeks hoping for anything to work, now today, bam, it works fine.
I would recommend anyone in this situation give the most recent updater a try, it may solve your problem.

Bricked Pantech Burst Stuck in S/W Downloading Mode and completely wiped ...
Ok I am having a similar issue guys. Last night I had to wipe my phone because it was overly full and I switched providers and the phone had become unusable. I tried using clockworkmod to do this and it wiped everything ( including clockworkmod. ) Now I only get a S/W Upgrading screen with a red box. I tried using the pantech download tool and the PANTECH_PRESTO_BIN_JUUS03122012.pdl file. It did appear that it was installing it but then it became stuck at the very very very end of things. I basically had to take the battery out to do anything at all as I had left the phone on all night to download the pdl file but without any luck.
When I reboot the phone it had the S/W Upgrading mode with the red screen. I've tried all of the different key combinations on the pantech burst etc volume up + volume down and power, volume down + power, volume up + power. None of these things will reboot the phone.
I am hoping I can use the pantech download tool to install a different pdl instead and possibly get it working that way. I know that when the phone is off if I plug it into usb then the screen lights up on it with the S/W Upgrading screen and the red box. If I press the power button or any other combinations of buttons + the power button it also does this. It literally will not do anything else.
I cannot use pantech pc suite because the phone originally was so unusable I could not put the android apk file on the phone even though I have it on my laptop.
I tried using adb and fastboot and it will not even find my device through ANY usb port on the laptop. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the drivers over and over. The only thing I know to do is reboot afterward and hopefully it will find my phone on usb with adb. If I can just get to a bootloader or flash functional firmware onto this phone I think I could get it working but I do not know enough about the pantech burst to try physically jumping anything on it in order to hard reset it.
So my only options right now look like maybe get a different pdl, possibly reboot and the drivers may find my phone, or JTAG this thing.
I can't put it in usb debugging mode because it won't boot. Since adb does not even find the device as being attached it seems as if this phone should be operating in a different port mode or something to make it visible. I could be wrong but I am hoping that rebooting fixes the driver issue and makes the phone visible.
I tried PDAnet also and once again it does not work because it cannot find the device. This could be a usb cable issue I suppose but I only have this particular cable I am pretty sure
I might try another cable as well...
Any other ideas ? Am I going to have to JTAG this thing or should it be fixable using the download tool and a different pdl ? Or do I need to find another way to completely wipe the phone first and THEN use the download tool with the pdl file ?
It does get a bit confusing with so many mods, roms, and methods to recover android phones. If I can get the phone to boot then I can reload my backups and all should be well. I do need this phone for business purposes also. Any ideas guys ?
PS> I am also pretty decent with linux distros like arch or ubuntu so I would like to also know if it would just be better to do this in linux and possibly use linux to manually switch the phone to a different device mode to make it visible in the instance of there being nothing wrong with the drivers.
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions ...
UPDATE - progress ???

OK quick update, I found the pantech burst upgrade tool and the burst-hack.cmd script
I managed to successfully find my phone with the upgrade tool and it completely ran its course and I am guessing it installed Ice Cream Sandwich.
My new problem is that the phone goes to the pantech logo boot screen if I plug the phone into usb but that is all it will do. If I unplug the phone and try to get into S/W Upgrade mode again or power it on it will not do anything at all. Basically the display only comes on when plugged in at this point so I am wondering if the battery is even charged or if it will charge. I read somewhere ( in the gizmolord forum ) that a guy had the same issue as me and he ran this tool for his pantech burst and then left the battery out for 2 weeks and tried to power it back on and it worked for him.
Is it possible that I just need to power the device down completely and let it completely discharge before it will reboot or is this thing bricked ?
I am thinking that either the battery needs to charge, or the phone needs to discharge and power down completely, or the phone could be bricked. I have a feeling it is not bricked because the update tool said everything was successful and no errors or anything.
I will try leaving the battery out for awhile and letting the phone discharge on its own and see what kind of results I get. I would think that 16 - 24 hours would be sufficient. Any ideas ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so I did a bit more digging and research and found out that the culprit is most likely the poorly designed charging circuit in the pantech phones. I found a tech blog called Mikes Techblog where he shows how to solve this on a pantech jest phone with the same issue. The problem is that the battery is 3.7v and is currently reading 2.8v on the volt meter. The phone will not even attempt to charge until 3.7v is available on the battery because of how the charge circuit is designed. I am going to try the usb cable trick and usb adapter and see if I can monitor its progress with the voltmeter and get it back up to 3.7 volts. After this it should allow me to charge it normally and should boot just fine. It is showing the pantech logo which tells me that the firmware is there and isn't buzzing or doing anything else weird so more than likely this is related to the battery and not having enough of a charge when running the official upgrade tool. This problem probably had already existed prior running the update tool and is why the S/W Upgrading screen only would come up AFTER being plugged into a power source and would disappear immediately. If the battery had any charge whatsoever and if the phone could see it then I would see a screen that tells me to plug my phone in and charge it. I am thinking this is solved but will only know after I charge the battery. From what I've been reading in comments from others the battery issue is prevalent on many different pantech phones including the burst model. Other people with the pantech burst have said in comments on Mike's blog that this made their phone boot right up and said that this was EXACTLY the issue. Perhaps the best way to use these pantech phones is to never ever let them fully discharge the battery.
Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my 7 pro (1911). This is my 1st Oneplus as I used a Mi 5 before, the flash procedure was much easier without this A/B mess.
So I somehow messed up a new install of pixel experience with blu_spark kernel and twrp and found myself with the qualcomm crash error. Trying to get back into fastboot with the button combination (was able to save it once in it) the phone restarts and got stuck in edl mode. I noticed it's recognized as 9008 in the PC so I said okey this is nothing I'll just use the MSMTool to get it back on again.
Went through the xda Mega thead procedure, had no problem getting the phone to connect to the tool, however, first unexpected thing I encounter is the fact it stops with a SHA256 doesn't match error, and fails to send op2.img. I verified the ops file to make sure it has no errors and it was good. I then checked "disable sha256" box and it goes normally with the flash this time. Except in the end instead of restarting into the system it restarts into edl mode again and if the cable is still attached starts flashing again. This loop keeps going on forever.
I checked everywhere the only other thing I found that hints at a possible solution was doing an SMT download (based on this thread from OP6). Having an EFS backup already in one of my TWRP backups I went ahead with the procedure. Everything goes normally with the sha256 box disabled. it takes longer than upgrade mode (it flashes also to b slot), it finishes fine till the end. I disconnect the phone to boot it but it's still stuck in EDL mode!!! pressing any combination of button only keeps restarting the phone in EDL; when connected to the pc you see it going off then on in device manager.
The only idea I have left is waiting for battery to die, which could take forever and I have no idea if that'll work
Things I tried/used :
Qualcomm drivers are the latest from microsoft server v2.1.2.2. Tried some other ones but no change.
Pressing any combination of buttons (up + down + power, up + power, down + power) for multiple minutes doesn't change anything (it only hurts your fingers lol)
Before the issue the phone was at around 40%, I don't think the problem was battery charge, but I still tried connecting to official charger for some time but no boot.
I tried using multiple cables, ports (usb 3 and 2 from front of pc), tried on a laptop with both usb 2 and 3, all give me the same results, sha256 fails, without the check it flashes but no boot or response.
I redownloaded the MSMTool multiple times from both the Mega thread and newer one with oos 10 images, even the chinese image, all of them give the exact same issue. The only one that didn't work was the TMobile image, saying it's the wrong image (tried it just to be sure my phone wasn't originally a TMO converted, as it's 2nd hand).
Tried starting a normal flash in MSMTool and leaving it on that loop (flash, finish, restart again in EDL, flash...) all night but still found it flashing in the morning, never booted to system.
I found some people in the forums having the same symptomes (but quite rare compared to others), only 2 said they found a solution:
OP7P (this guy fixed the issue by charging his phone) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80329855&postcount=83
OP6T (this guy discharged his phone completely then connected it and it booted) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79079192&postcount=5

OP6 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79445923&postcount=203
I'm making this thread maybe someone who had the same issue can show me how he solved it, or if not and my last resort works (complete battery discharge) hopefully stays as a helpful history to someone else.
Thanks.
Hi again,
Updating my thread with what I could do lately:
I opened the phone up, anxious to try disconnecting the battery and seeing if it makes any difference. To my surprise that also did no change at all.
After some time working with NerdgOd56 from the Reddit Discord we tried many things, among them reading back the memory using MSM Tool. There was also a python script that enabled reading a provision xml file that's used by the tool to flash everything. This file mentions where in the OPS file each image is. So after some fiddeling with the OPS using a hex editor, I found that there are quite some differences with the images I read from the phone, this hints at a possible flash memory corruption. Though this needs to be confirmed by someone who has a clean phone, whether the images are supposed to be exactly the same or probably they're encrypted when transfered to the phone.
So right now I'm starting a search for a motherboard locally, hoping to find something.
Thanks to all the guys from discord who gave their time to my cause NerdgOd56, DarkPhoenix and the others on the OP7 channel.

Did you say you was able to get to fastboot mode if so jus boot twrp image then flash twrp image.zip from the xda. Then do a full wipe then download download a ota zip from xda and flash it. That's how I got out of edl mode.
ANY NEWS>?
i also have an OP6T
used MsmDownloadTool V4.0_factory_mcl_op1_patched
with
rev_OverSeas_181226_1920_release_disable_OTA-BLOCK_Signed_fp1812260627_cve2018-12-01_ufs_9.0.11
and
fajita_41_O.18_181226.ops
phone was stock.
Proceeded to flash custom rom etc.
Now since then i decided i wanted stock again to try new custom rom etc. and,
i booted twrp and just wiped everything like a mad man.
i have had this happen before.
Currently, it will and can boot into any mode such as fastboot recovery(TWRP) edl and device state/secureboot are both unlocked/enabled
TRY TO LET IT DIE AND PUT RUBBERBANDS OLONG THE PHONE SO THE VOLUME AND POWER BUTTONS ARE HELD DOWN GOOD AND LET IT SIT FOR A DAY TO DIE.
After you do that let it sit for a bit and its dead. take off the bands and let it sit for another half a day and redo the bands to make sure its been reset and is indeed complete dead. repeat, whatever.
when its surely dead and been reset, THE ONLY thing you can try is
plug it in and almost at the same time (not simultaneously, but sequentially)
YOU NEED TO HOLD VOLUME UP+DOWN at the same time RIGHT AFTER YOU PLUG IT IN LITTERALLY. And, it should display the 1plus logo briefly and boot into fastboot mode.(i had to do this after wiping rom etc via twrp an became stuck in edl mode)
from there i booted twrp
(was my reccovery still)
mind that i wiped everything like a mad man and i lost my ADB AND FASTBOOT AND AS WELL AS MY EDL MODE PRIVILEGES(2 PCs, a couple cables tried and the phone is still not being recognized in any of the mentioned modes ), and after doing what i mention if you can get into fastboot mode you may be in luck, however if you can get back into any other mode.(Or fastboot flash a stock rom, adb sideload etc)
im still here waiting my usb otg type c because the usb wont recognize with the adapter to micro usb. Now ive never had a usb otg type c adapter before, but i know i could never get the micro usb (universal) to adapt my otg with a, "type C" type adapter and see the storage device(usb) being recognized by android. So i will reply when it arrives and i can attempt to flash stock again via otg twrp with oos zip. (THIS HAS TO BE AN A10 ISSUE WITH TWRP BEING FAIRLY RECENT IN RELEASES AND CAUSING IT TO NOT BE RECOGNIZED AFTER PERFORMING A, "FULL WIPE")
hopefully the otg for usb c is going to be recognized by twrp still.
if all else fails and your still under contract warranty, just light the **** on fire and run it over and pay the $40 deductable and take it as a $40 lesson and have them send you a new one(or upgrade depending on eligibility etc.)

I don't know if you saw my last comment but I had even opened the phone up to disconnect the battery ribbon, hoping that would get it out of EDL but it didn't. However I didn't do the trick with the buttons when connecting it, I'll try this after disconnecting the battery. Also if that didn't work I'll leave it on rubber bands like you said, nothing to lose anyway. Thanks for the tips. I'll let you know what's up.
How did you know when the phone was dead while on rubber bands, do you verify if it still gets detected on the PC ?
Yeah i had did the rubberbands for a lil more than couple days and like i said i let it sit for about a day without the bands on after i had a good 20+ hours with em on then reapplied bands for about 20 hours.my phone was completely discharged during that process( OP6T).
Upon doing this i lost access to my recovery img.
Phone only boots fastboot (even if i choose recovery, it was previously working)
So now i still cant recognize in fastboot or edl.
GOT my OTG type c and put oos on usb, but as i said now my twrp isnt booting, so i shouldnt have depleted the battery as now i have no possible recovery access modes . Aside from that, im trying to figure out more info on the device and will reply in a day with what i may come to find out.
My phone did get detected because it started up as soon as i plugged into pc.
battery seems un-accessible but may have to take this apart.
I am figuring this out and i will get back to you. I need more tech assistance from a friend in the repair industry to disassemble without destroying it tomorrow or sometime friday.
This is going to have to be some sort of an intricate process to diagnose this supposed "HARD BRICK"
:Have to correct myself
talked to my brody at tmobile to see wassup with the warrenty etc.
basically its not covered under warrenty when you mess with software, blah blah i figured anyway, and he basically advises (OR more so "i didnt tell you anything like that!"- laughing) to literally run it over with your car or just smash the screen, and file the claim without issue...
BUT THE ISSUE IS ITS GONN COST YOU $99 to get a new OP6T via Assurant
your device might be the same, or even more costly,
i would prefer to avoid all costs, spending more money, not trying to..

Yeah so sad, probably the internal memory has a slight % chance it gets corrupted or something...
Since my story in the OP I bought a used 1913 that's a bit cheaper coz of external scratches and took its motherboard for my cleaner original phone. It's been working like a charm since.
hi everyone last night i plug my phone for charging after a while i came back and see crash dump mode i switch off the and try to unbrick via msm tool 1st attempt everything fine auto reboot after progress complete it stuck in oneplus logo after that i tried to redo all thing now i faced this error on MSM TOOL PLEASE HELP ME I CHANGED THE CABLE USB PORTS DRIVER REINSTALL BUT STUCK AT THIS POINT. when i uncheck sha256 downloading start but it does not stop again and phone did not auto reboot help please
its not the usual reboot loop, it gets not even that far, its stuck to the "this phone is jailbroken,hit power to pause" after that it just reboots,while empty.
i tried to switch it off, to ensure loading, but keeping the powerbutton 10sec pressed,is impossible,there is not enough time.
i tried to switch into the bootloader, and say switch off, well it goes back into the loop 2sec later,since it got a bit power, it tries its nonsense.
i tried differend loading methods, pc usb, usb pure (2.1mAh), and the oneplus speedloader adapter with the red cable.
what happend before, well it got empty, and switched off,the apps and such didnt change for about a year, it worked, and thats it.
the accu cell got changed about a year ago, by my insurance company, the old one balooned. so they changed it,meaning its not even a old cell.
trying fastload in bootloader,didnt help getting it charged,anything else just relooped.
iam open for suggestions.
thanks and regards

I think ur phone might be soft bricked or idk. But I'm pretty sure the problems didn't caused by the new battery.
Seems the phone didn't recognize the /system/ or something on twrp that says "There's no system installed" coz i've faced that (no system installed) before.
If u can manage boot into bootloader, try to fastboot a twrp.img and flash a stock firmware.
If u can't, or let's just say you really feel ur phone in fked up state, try to reflash everything with MSM Download Tool.
Here's some threads I found :
Soft Bricked?
I apologize as I've been out of flashing ROMs for over 4 years now. I unlocked my OP6 bootloader, added TWRP, the flashed Lineage 11. One of my apps wont play nice with root so I tried to go back to stock. I tried to use TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 to...

It is much better to state the status of your device briefly. Like are you on OOS or custom ROM, unlocked bootloader, with custom recovery installed, magisk installed, etc. Then tell the story on what you did or what happen before your phone got the issue you stated. Then maybe someone can help you in more specific way.
Like Azhar_Fahry recommended, I also recommend using MSM tool and revert back to original state like you first bought your device.
My op 6 recently just decided to die? I was using it normally and locked then turned it back one and it crashed going into "Qualcomm Crashdump Mode" with no error message.
I tried re-flashing stock, lineageOS and then found the "Qualcomm MSM tool" which was supposed to fix everything... but it didn't.
So now my op6 is bricked? and has a locked bootloader
Can anyone help? Maybe lol?

It's hardware issue and cannot be fixed by software. Motherboard replacement might fix the issue. Anyway here is the message from some telegram channels like Evolution X:
"If your phone has gotten the qualcomm crashdump mode screen, please follow these steps:
1. DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE
2. Put your phone in the freezer for 15~20 minutes or until it feels like an ice cube (yes, I'm serious)
3. If you are rooted, reboot your phone ONLY ONCE back to the rom. If you are not rooted then reboot your phone ONLY ONCE to recovery.
4. Using TWRP or a root file manager such as Fx, navigate to /sys/fs/pstore and copy all files to /sdcard/. REBOOTING MORE THAN ONCE WILL DELETE THESE FILES.
Send console-ramoops and/or pmsg-ramoops log files to us."
I personally do not recommend this because I didn't test it yet because my phone does not experience crashdump. It's for you to decide. Here is the message link for your reference.

Thanks for the reply, I will try this as a last resort, but I've already rebooted my phone many times and I can't boot into OOS..

Good God, please don't do this.
Putting your phone in the freezer and thawing it out will create a ton of condensation in the mainboard that's extremely difficult to get rid of & dry (it may take several weeks to months). Powering on the device while it's still wet like this can and most probably will short the circuits on the board, making the problem even worse.
OP, if the problem is software, it should be solvable with the MSM Tool.
Else if it's hardware, then the safest solution would be taking it to a certified service center and get the board replaced entirely.

The same thing happened to me about a year ago. After completing the msm tool procedure my phone got stuck in a permanent bootloop w/ the bootloader locked of course. I suggest using the msm tool sparingly as this happened to me after about the tenth time I used it.
First of all thanks to the contributors here for pulling together the user guides for unbricking the phone. I am in a rather weird situation. While trying to flash my hard-bricked onePlus 6 - I think the battery was low, and the download did not complete fully. Since then, I have recharged the phone but the download gets stuck on this error: Firehose GetUSInfo Failed
I think my phone does not power-off fully somehow. I keep holding the powerbutton for over a minute, but the minute I connect the phone to my PC, it gets recognized immediately with the correct Qualcomm 9008 port. So the drivers are correct, and the PC recognizes the phone correctly.
Any idea how to switch off the phone fully, and then how to get past the 'Firehose GetUSInfo Failed' error?
Thanks in advance!
bro izi fix, i get this before and oneplus agen in jordan cant fix it so i fix it by myself, now im going to sleep pls send me a msg on telegram ( @NotReal0 ) i will learn you how to fix it but pls tomorrow u go to any pro dev shot ask them to get you the imei partation EFC that file have imei number and mac address you will need it for real

Hello all. Firstly, i wish to apologise if this isnt the right place. But its been a while since ive been here, and couldnt find a ULEFone section.
Ill try to be as descriptive as i can.
Ive got my hands on a ULEFone Armor X7 that was running Android 10. It came to me with the problem of when you boot it up, it complained about corrupted firmware. And i had to press the power key to continue. They tell me it happened when they clicked on a link from a message and it took them to some website ending in RU. The phone rebooted and then displayed that every time.
So i went to their support page, and downloaded all the files needed to restore the firmware to stock. Using the SP_MDT programm they provided, Followed all the instructions to the letter. And everything responded as expected.
Looking around with other users who use mediatek/ULEFone devices this seems to be the norm.
-Plugged into the phone while holding volume down. Started a Port scan using the software
-Then using the software i start a firmware upgrade on the 1 port my device was connected to
-Let that finish, and i should unplug and reboot the phone
Except when it came time to reboot the phone. It just doesnt power on now. And now when plugging into the PC it comes up with "USB Device unrecognised/damaged"
If i leave it unplugged for say 30 mins and try again. The computer recognises it this time. But when i try to do a port scan with the tool again, it just fails.
Tried various PC's and differeing windows versions. All with the same results.
Is this phone now basically a goner? Or is there a chance i can recover it?
And what would have went wrong?
Thanks in advance

I suspect you're going about it the wrong way.
You shouldn't be holding any button when you connect for flashing

This was what was mentioned in the manufactures documents for reflashing the firmware. As holding down volume down while plugging in puts the phone into bootloader mode.
Pressing nothing when plugging in doesnt give me anything.

Why don't you try SP flash tool. I'm not sure if this model has secure boot but I'm guessing its DA file is contained in the zip you downloaded if it does

I will give this one a go (As soon as im able) and let you know what happens. Thanks
So this one gave the the same problems.
The DA Download bar goes to 100%. Sits there for a while then bails out.
However i did get a nice error message pop up that will hopefully help.
Hope this helps
I have not managed to get much further than thia. My guess is the phone is hard bricked. No amount of different software/drivers etc seems to have any effect.
It gets to the DA Download phase at 100%. But then just sits there. And then failes out with the above message. From what ive read about this does indead mean its done for.
Thanks for the help all the same
did you manage to fix it ?
