I'm guessing @bitdomo He hasn't posted on XDA since December 1st. Hoping he's just busy because I'd really like to see if he can fix the qhusb brick without a riff box.

i flash it with a riff box , and the flash was succesful , but the phone won't boot up

He didn't say he could fix it.... He wanted a bricked device to test on. ?
And tis the season to be busy with real life.... He'll be back. ?

Just messaged him. Just thought i should post here to let others know.
"Hi i have a water damaged nexus 5 which can boot (but dead lcd and digitizer) and is fully functioning when normally turned on. (Can hear notifications, and is detected normally). However, when its at the bootloader its detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. (twrp was installed, but cant get into it).
I want to sell it for parts but I have no way of doing a factory reset to remove my data from it. How do i know my data is still on there? Because i was able to get into the storage and get my photos, music, etc from it when it booted normally (before digitizer died, after lcd died).
If i am of any help, just reply. If not, then im sorry."
Hopefully my "bricked?" nexus can help the community and myself cause currently its a brick.

Water damaged is different.. That's physical damage. Can't reverse that with software

So.. my data is trapped on that nexus... and its of no use...
Just was wondering cause it had the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 issue.
Would you say it safe to sell that phone for parts even though it has personal contacts and my debit card on it? I think i had a pattern lock on it (but lets just say i didnt), would you think they would be able to access that data?

It depends how determined they are. Plus i doubt its worth anything due to the damage. I'd scrap it info were you.

I have something working. I can read and write partitions when phone is in qdloader 9008 mode, but before publishing I want to test it on some real hard bricked nexus to make it sure it works.
Edit: Tested. I bricked and unbricked my device a few times. I am making a thread about it in the General forum.

BRICKED 6045Y -QDLoader 9008 - any sugestion welcome

Hello,
since 5 years i am playing with google android OS and about 15 devices it looks like i have first fully bricked device.
What happened?
I made a custom marsmallow firmware from the update.zip.
The bad thing was (i think) that i deleted the aboot and also sbl1 partition from the update and also the script for flashing recovery. The second bad thing was (maybe) that i included busybox and root to the update.zip right from the begining without testing the firmware without it.
Then i made complete wipe of cache, dalvik cache, data and system (anothe rmistek i think). Flashed the firmware with no problem, no errors. Then i made wipe cache and dalvik cache again (as i used to, when going to higher OS version).
Afte rthat i hit reboot and my device is dead since then.
It cant be powered on normaly, neither recovery, neither bootloader, neither qualcomm loader.
Only thing that happens is when i connect the device to PC, the LED turns on. I have to tweak the ALCATEL USB drivers to be compatible with my WIN10PRO (yes i hate the win 10 because of the drivers,but had no other option than upgrade to win10).
Now i managed to see the device as "Android HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (yes 9008 not 9006 also bad thing).
When i try to connect to the device with panasonic eluga SUGAR_QCT_SP tool or with mobile upgrade Q or with SUGAR_QCT_SP tool i always get error when the tool downloads the MPRG. It cant download it from the device so it gives me error and thats it.
Since I dont have the proper rawprogram0.xml, patch.xml and other mbn files to pus them trough QPST i think i am in the dead end.
So if anybody has any suggestion i wil appreciate it.
If not, i will send it to warranty repair on friday and get finger crossed that they will repair it (while the service in chzech republic who is Alcatel aproved is a bunch of loosers, who do anything to do not have make it as warranty repair).

have tried with 3 PCs with win7 and with 3 usb cables. Still error when downloading MPRG.
I cannot understand where it went wrong. The aboot and sbl1 parition shouldnt affect the device to boot to recovery or to bootloader, because when the sbl1 chechk for aboot it should be fine whle they are the same version.

thats the probelm. I also dont know why is there a probelm to download the MPRG to comunicate with the device.
The removable battery was a good thing, because you can power off the device. Now i can just guess if the device is powered off or not when i connect to the PC.
And of course this f**ing windows 10.

maybe when the 6.0.1 will be released i can connect with propper mbn. but i cant wait. I will send it to repair on friday or buy another device (zenfone 3 or moto g4plus).
Now i am still trying to bring it to life.

if they cant boot the device they will probably replace the mainboard so they will not get known if the device was unlocked or rooted.
If i will open it and replace the battery i will break the stamps on the battery so they will know i was inside the device and they will refuse to make it as warranty repair.
SO if there is no software option i will send it to warranty repair. If they will refuse to repair it as warranty repair. then i will consider to open it and do whatever it takes to get it to life

Help with unbricking a hardbricked H631

Long story short, a kdz flash may have been interrupted. Now I am unable to boot my stylo at all. I can however see it under device manager, where it is labeled "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I bricked mine and used LG Bridge to get to Lollipop and then I took the OTA to Marshmallow
Also, LG UP method can be used as well.

I kinda am stuck in this position too. Does LG bridge pick it up in this mode? Did you have that problem? I've been trying and it seems the only thing I can find is QPST using QFIL but then I can't seem to transfer the data and get an error about Sahara not being able to transfer the data over.

I have the MetroPCS version and totally screwed up messing around with something. I had no recovery. I had to use one of the methods to get it back up and running.
If you have the Tmobile or Metro version, you should be fine.

Did you have the same QDLoader 9008 issue?

LG Bridge doesn't appear to be working for me as it's not even detected.

Try LG Flash tool. That can get you back to Lollipop.
http://androidcreations.weebly.com/lg-g-stylo-update.html
Or LG UP method should work.
http://www.mylgphones.com/t-mobile-lg-g-stylo-h631-how-to-unrick-restore-back-to-stock.html (This is for the Tmobile version)

I can't actually access download mode, meaning neither of those options can detect my phone.

Use a different USB cable. That's what happened to me. I had to try every single USB cable in my house, even from other phones.

AFAIK, in order to fix a hard bricked (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) lg stylo we need make something like this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...nbrick-g-stylo-ls770-qualcomm-hs-usb-t3368269) but for the H631/MS631 variant.

Can some of you look at THIS method used on LG V10 TMO variant for unbricking Qualcomm 9008?
I posted a thread HERE with the instructions from the user that created the backup and method to unbrick.

Hi, have the same qualcomm 9008 issue aftet kdz, so is there any solution?

So the brick is so bricked you can't even get to download mode.

Lg h631 hardbricked
Please any solution yet on this thread? I have had the same issue for a year now.

LGMS631 (MetroPCS LG G Stylo) Root/Unbrick/Recovery
So, I think I've managed to salvage my bricked Stylo, I somehow also managed to root my Fiance's LG G Stylo that's on the 6.0 update...
Since I can't find any ways to fix this problem on the internet I'll post what I did here so hopefully I can get some other people out of deep water with their phone.
Here is the thread I made I don't think it will work for a hardbrick, but it might be worth a shot..
LGMS631 MetroPCS LG G Stylo Backup (Unbrick/Root) Android 6.0

That won't work because your phone still works. You can boot past the 9008 mode.

So basically the phone is useless and can't be brought back to life at this point

I'm in the same position, flashed a lollipop kdz on a marshmallow and it effectively trashed the emmc. Without an insider leaking signed programmer and flasher mbns, flashing via sahara is not possible. For the moment, you need one of those expensive 20pin JTAG boxes and documentation for the ISP points(I can't find this info, it's paywalled). Under the shield facing the back of the phone is a header that may be for JTAG, but I haven't bothered probing as I don't think it's practical for unbricking.

Strangest "Bricked" Oneplus One: No recovery, locked OS, can't unlock bootloader

Strangest "Bricked" Oneplus One: No recovery, locked OS, can't unlock bootloader
Hi there, I've come in to the possession of the most stubbornly bricked phone that I've ever seen . Bought a OPO off Craigslist, someone cracked the screen and sold it for cheap instead of fixing it. It had been remote wiped but still has some strange difficult software. Posted this problem to the Oneplus Forum but have had no response, thought XDA would be more qualified!
From what I can tell it's a Oneplus One that was sold through a re-seller that replaced all the software on the phone with a high-security version of Android. It's called EncroChat and from their website (encrochat.network or encrochatsure.com) it looks like it removes the recovery from the phone and replaces it with an EncroChat OS (some kind of Cyanogen) that you can boot to in addition to the Android OS.
Well I assume during the remote wipe something went wrong with the software and the phone no longer really functions. It boots up fine but can't connect to Wifi, cellular, not detected when connected to my PC, and has no real apps to speak of. I think most of the device's drivers are missing. Trying to boot to recovery instead boots to their EncroChat OS which is locked behind a password that neither I nor the person I bought it from knows.
I can get to fastboot and my PC will detect the phone then but running the bootloader unlock command doesn't work, the phone just reboots into the locked EncroChat OS. My idea now is to try and hardbrick the phone and then re-do everything on the phone over again, but I can't figure out how to do that. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Contacting EncroChat
Tried contacting EncroChat via email form, twitter, and reddit. No luck! Still stuck with this. I want to try this unbrick guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732 for hardbricks but I can't get my phone to show as QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Any idea how I can do that? This guy seems to have done it:

Had one GOOD soft brick in the past, I've used coloros rom(from the Chinese OnePlus One) and fix my phone ...it deleted all media of course but manage to unbrick the phone. Don't ask me how to, it's been a while, google it
It would fix even the most stubborn soft bricks you'll see. Before that I tried everything that was available at the time, no boot as well only fastboot(not even recovery)

For your phone to be recognized in your PC as QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, you need to install proper drivers. follow this guide

Hello dude,
While it was quite some time when I did this unbrick, it was successful ...expect ALL data to be deleted from phone. Google is your friend and I did get all the files from somewhere
You use a special software from the phone, it's coloros software and with provided files it recognise the phone and flash it(2-3 seperate flashes through the software if I remember correctly) - don't worry as long as the phone turns on(mine was turning on but did nothing ...blank, only way to turn it off was to hold power button and hold it(forced turn off))
P.S. The phone wasn't recognised by the OS ...only from this app(cool? ..weird if you ask me - I'm a computer repair tech guy and find this hard to believe if it didn't happen and see it with my own eyes - on the other hand it could be somewhere hidden in the system and recognised like something else so I won't put my hand in fire to verify this )

Thanks!

I figured it out, thanks ! Now I'm stuck with a more minor problem of only having 16gb visible on my 64gb phone. Can't write the userdata_64G image to my phone. Still trying some stuff out and I'll probably just make a new post if I can't get it to work. Thanks again!

I read just the other day that someone needs the 64gb image instead of the 16gb image. You did so well so far, I'm sure you'll figure this one out. Congrats! "Encrochat Beware!"
The mention of the 64gb vs 16gb image is here:

I figured it out, thanks ! Now I'm stuck with a more minor problem of only having 16gb visible on my 64gb phone. Can't write the userdata_64G image to my phone. Still trying some stuff out and I'll probably just make a new post if I can't get it to work. Thanks again!

Hi there, sorry in advance this might not be very helpful in your situation. I ended up using the ColorOS repair tool for Oneplus One that I mentioned earlier in the post. It turned out I just didn't have the correct drivers so once I sorted those out the tool was able to bypass all the software and replace everything on the phone so that I could then install my own OS.
I guess the trick would be to find a version of this tool for OneplusX. I'm not sure if there is one available, I haven't looked. Maybe make a separate post about that? The ColorOS tool I'm talking about is from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55024864&postcount=136 and it just looks directly for the Qualcomm chip and writes to that. I'm not sure where that tool came from, if it made its way out of Oneplus directly or if someone created it afterwards...

Hi my name is Miguel and im new to xda and i have a serious problem so i bought my phone and i was using it a mp3 and stuff since i live over seas i tried to region unlock it and in the process bam phone restarted and nothing but a black screen i plug in my phone to my charger nothing happens i plug it in to my pc something happens but not on the phone but on the pc it started downloading drivers i can tell you what the bubble said because i came to europe for vacation and im staying here for a while but a friend of mine said your phone lost his boot-up and it wont do anything unless you buy a medusabox and get all the files im buying the medusabox or whatever but where can i get the files from he told me you need 4 files with ones are they any ideas?

What were you doing to region unlock it?
If you hold down the bixby, power, and volume down buttons, can you get into download mode?

I too am in a similar situation. Not trying to highjack the thread at all however I believe it's what they call EDL (Emergency Download Mode). Mine is in Qdloader 9008 but cannot use QFIL to flash it so stuck with this brick for now. The files, I have some XMLs and supposedly the programer but they haven't worked for me at all.
Good luck, please advise if you ever fix it cause I have faith and hope its just a matter of time i can unbrick mine.

Im trying to use medusabox which is what people use to recognize qualcomm mode i just need the file to install the bootloader to get it into download mode any ideas if i can get them from another s8+

The file that ur looking for isn't apart of the stock firmware? BL,AP,CP,CSC, and PIT. I think the one ur looking for is BL for bootloader. You shouldn't need a box to recognize 9008, this is something ur phone should do automatically when u plug it in while hard bricked thought that all of the boxes were made to be able to flash ur device while in EDL mode?

This is very old but no all bricks dont leave in edl the devices also have groind points. All of us that tested the edl repair use qfil or the recovery script which i use on mine. You need a bit more than just the bootloader for repair. A whole barrage of sperate partitions as well as the programmer xml
