Hard Bricked OPO (Msm8974DownloadTool loops on getting 8974_msimage.mbn) - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
Sorry for posting another hard bricked opo thread but I'm out of hopes and my last hope is you guys.
I hard bricked my OnePlus one a few days ago.
I tried to unbrick it a lot of times with Msm8974DownloadTool.exe with no luck.
My drivers seems to work fine and the Msm8974DownloadTool.exe doesn't run till the end. It always loops on installing 8974_msimage.mbn.
Please help, you are my last chance on reviving my dead phone
Im running Windows 10
Thanks a lot!

If you still need help, just send me a PM. I'll try to help you with a Teamviewer session.

This one helped me,and rescued my phone! Try it

When you say hard bricked do you mean Literally nothing when holding power (no lights, backlight and vibrations or screen) or you do get any of those.
I got my s2 stuck once and I thought it was off but what actually happened was the backlight was on showing nothing and you could only see the backlight with my rooms lights off

Lenovo S856 China Unbricking tutorial

Problem: You have purchased a China Lenovo S856 smartphone and tried to flash ROW ('Rest of World') firmware to it for whatever reason. You now have a softbricked phone that won't boot past the Lenovo screen.
Solution: Download the following files, which are a little tutorial with pictures, as well as the correct China firmware for your s856 and the Flashing tool to use....https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzQTMtaXFXZEFNbHc https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzRTk4ZTB3c1VDdzA https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzWVA2UENuY1NYTkk
All the solutions I have seen so far were sketchy at best and very difficult to comprehend, let alone use to unbrick your phone. This is what worked for me, and my attempt to help anyone else with the above problem.
That is all, and good day to you.
Thanks for your help, but my problem looks very difficult now, because the system cannot recognize the phone and the phone refuse to boot on. What do you advice?

Hello...
My system did not recognize my phone, either. Nor would it boot up... it was bricked. This tutorial is for people who are exactly in your situation. I would suggest downloading the files I have uploaded, and reading the tutorial.

Finally got the process started,...but after 7s I got and error message Reached the end of the file.(0x80070026: Receiving hello packet)
Could it be my PC (win 10 32 bit) problem or what do you think?
This happened to me as well, the first and second time I tried the flash. There is a trick which worked for me... I pulled the battery out and put it back in and while holding the volume 'up' button, I plugged my phone into my computer usb port and let windows install the driver. It took a few seconds and then I clicked 'refresh' on the Miflash window, which I had left on. At this point the 'flash' button became available and I clicked on it. This time the flash was successful. Try it.

[Completed] Hard Bricked in a peculiar manner

Hi xda,
So I had a soft bricked Micromax Canvas a290 which boot looped and couldnt access recovery. I flashed it with a stock ROM. Now the phone is hard bricked, and I'm thinking probably because the rom I downloaded had issues. I looked up another stock rom from xdafirmware, and am trying to follow a tutorial on youtube on flashing a hard bricked device.
The issue I have here is this:
The tutorial says the phone is supposed to connect and disconnect every 7-8 seconds (evident by the sound windows makes when usb device is connected and disconnected).
The thing is, when I connect my device windows makes the connected sound, but the device doesnt disonnect. SP flash tool cant flash my phone. I have tried any and every button combination, but they dont seem to help.
I am an tech enthusiast myself, and I have flashed a lot of mtk soft bricked devices before, but I am totally stumped here.
Can anyone help?? Any ideas whats happening? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Greetings and welcome to assist. I can find very little information for your device apart from this thread which may help, can you connect to the device just using fastboot ?

HARD Bricked Moto G Stylus XT2043-4 / Blankflash, raw file, scatter, emmc or emmc_prog_firehose request

I have no idea what happened beside the battery completely drained and I was left hard bricked. I only have the blinking led. No mode beside EDL. Was rooted, stock rom android 11 and stock recovery. Phone had been stolen and possibly had someone trying to get in it. Appeared fine and in working order before it died though.
I have tried 3 different version blankflash files. I have been using sofiap. A few times (tried about 50x) they went all the way through to "fastboot reboot", but fastboot NEVER opens. Just same situation as before. May be an issue with singleimage.bin? Since blankflash doesn't seem to be effective, can I use another program (Qualcomm programs, Flash tools or other)? I have tried finding a solution, searched endlessly and have the same brick I had.
Please advise and help with the exact files, links, etc. The easiest way would be awesome. I would greatly appreciate any/all assistance.

If it's a warranty return it shouldn't matter
