Hello everyone. I own a Lenovo Vibe K6 (k33a48) and was just about to sell it since I bought another phone. However, I had changed my Vibe K6 Boot Logo for a custom one. All I tried was to put a original one. I tried to do that with fastboot, but it wouldn't recognize my phone when turned off (except if I was inside TWRP, but it wouldn't flash the original logo there). So I found a website which apparentely explained how to do that in a simpler way. The website is this one: techspirate .blogspot. com.br/ 2015/10/ change-boot-logo-of-your-android. html
(Put some spaces so it won't be blocked here)
(Just a remark: the phone is a less than a month old.)
I did the restore option explained there. I uploaded the logo.bin to my sdcard folder and downloaded Terminal Emulator (already had the other apps). There I typed: "dd if=/sdcard/logo.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11". However, I did not type it correctly: I thought there was a space between "logo.bin" and "of=/dev" (I looked too fast), but the correct one should be "dd if=/sdcard/logo.binof=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11", according to the website. Anyway, things seemed fine and then I switched off my phone to check if it had worked. Now it simply won't turn on (it does not even vibrate). If I connect the charger, the white led turns on. If I press Power+VolumeUp or Power+VolumeDown, it vibrates but to no avail, as nothing appears on screen.
My last attempt was to flash a stock ROM trough Qualcomm-QPST-QFIL. It did recognize my phone and the port, however I got this error: "Switch To EDL. Download Fail: Switch to EDL Fail. Failed to switch to Emergency Download Mode."
The stock rom I used was this one: "K33_S150_161114_ROW\K33_S150_161114_ROW_QPST". I do have a backup made in TWRP from my original rom, but obviously I can't get there to do anything (the screen won't turn on).
PLEASE, ANYONE, ANY IDEAS?
I'm back to QFIL, this time with Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. It actually starts working and uploading some files, but unfortunately I end up getting these errors:
ERROR: function: is_ack_successfull: 943 SAHARA_NAK_INVALID_IMAGE_TYPE
ERROR: function: sahara_start:825 exiting abruptly
ERROR: function: sahara_main:854 sahara protocol error
ERROR: function: main:265 uploading image using sahara protocol failed
Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.
hello sir I have a very similar problem I have odin flash files but I cant flash theem,plz help. where do I get mbn file
Hello! Odin is for Samsung, right? This MBN I have is quite widespread over the web (links on youtube, other forums, etc). It's a russian MBN for the Lenovo k33a48. Unfortunately, I don't know where to get other MBNs specifically.
Did I understand your question correctly? If you want this MBN I have, I can post the URLs here.
HI thx for helping out but I needd mbn files for galaxy centura. This ghost of a forum won't even answer our questions. What's the point of this forum if nobody's helping?

May you could help, i have redmi 5 plus stuck in logo and restart continously with locked condition and should be use testpoint flash. ive been use 2 methods, miflash and qfill. miflash shows error code 'couldnt receive hello package' ive been checked qualcomm driver, were in test mode, detected in device manager. second methods is using qfill to install firmware engineering but have some error with code 'Sahara FailValue Cannot be Null', 'Download Fail:FireHose Fail:FHLoader Fail:The system cannot find the file specified' and 'Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail'. Ive been Checked all and seems to be right but still couldnt solve the problem. A guy from other forum said that it has a possibility its emmc damaged. Thanks guys

Edit: I am keeping the information below intact, just incase someone goes through the same issues that I had gone through.
My recommendation is follow through with Johnny886 video on his installation guide and just skip any steps that aren't applicable to your set up. I recommend using his 0-update_image_edl.bat and not using Qfil or xiaomi. His video ends up showing most of the steps required to accomplish the repair, with exception of showing the phone and when you have to bring your phone into bootloader mode and what not.
I can personally attest to the fact this does bring a hard bricked phone from the grave. When I mean hard bricked, I mean black screen and in edl mode (shows up as a usb devices or port on your PC).
I am not a regular on these forums so I probably won't be here for long. I'll help if I see your posts, if I can help.

Hello,
I am having issues installing johnny 886 ROG 5s firmware install via any method (Qfil, xiaomi flash, and update image edl windows batch file).
It says that the program speaks firehose and the device speaks sahara protocol on a text file on my computer.
I tried using xiaomi flash, but it makes a device disconnect sound and fails to ping target via firehose. (I am guessing because device is speaking sahara protocol).
I tried using Qfil flat build, and running firehose_ddr.elf and rawprogram and patch files 0-6 and it starts running the firehose_ddr.elf but it also runs into an error. (sahara_rx_data:276 Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes. ( I think this also relates to the program speaks Firehose / device speaks Sahara protocol issue.)
Anyone have a way forward with dealing with this firehose/sahara issue?
I am also in windows 10 test mode.
EDIT, Fix found:
So I found out what was wrong. It shows "program speaks firehose protocol while your target is speaking sahara" because I was using the ddr.elf file.
If you pay attention to it, which I didn't at first, it says this:
"
This can mean
1. You forgot to send DeviceProgrammer first (i.e. QSaharaServer.exe -s 13: prog_firehose_lite.elf)
2. OR, you did send DeviceProgrammer, but it has crashed and/or is not correct for this target"
I found out you are suppose to use the prog_firehose_lite.elf file (or whatever file it say is the device programmer first).
When using the QFIL program, I was using the prog_firehose_ddr.elf and this caused the error to appear.
I will post an image showing how it is suppose to look like when configured correctly.
NOTE: (I ended up bricking my phone to the point of not having an accessible bootloader/recovery when ONLY using raw program 0 and patch 0 files). This made it so you can only turn on the phone using the - volume and power button and it gets stuck on the "republic of gamers" splash screen. I have a solution for that issue further down in the thread.

I did, but no one seems to be answering. Also, I am not sure if the error itself is related to the firmware, such as a setting in qfil or xiaomi needs to be changed somewhere. Other people seem to have similar issues on other phones but it didn't look like anyone actually replied to their question.

You need to install the correct Qualcomm driver, and then your folder cannot have spaces or some unsupported characters.
After prompting the error, the phone needs to re-enter the edl mode, and then operate again.

So my phone attempted to install the firmware but now it does not have a bootloader, it does not connect to the PC and it can only get up to the point of showing the republic of gamers logo and letters.
I am guessing the only way forward is opening this thing up or buying a new phone. Unless you have a way out of this?
1. It is no able to go into edl via computer through adb.
2. It does not appear on device manager nor disk management.
3. It does not have a recovery option appearing and pressing +volume and power button does nothing.
4. You can only press the - volume and power button, the regular power button does nothing and when using the - volume button and power button, it just gets stuck on the republic of gamers screen.
5. It does not go into edl mode when connected to either the bottom or the side port on the phone.
6. It does not connect to the computer even if you delete the device, the drivers, reinstall the drivers and device. reset the computer and device and all forms of these things in different orders.
If the only way forward is possibly removing the battery and maybe shorting two pins together, do you have an idea which pins these are?
EDIT, Fix found:
So I found out that if you connect the ROG 5s phones side port to the computer while it is frozen in the republic of gamers logo for about 20 minutes, it resets and the android recovery screen pops up with only the options of "try again" and "factory data reset" and appears as an asus I005D in universal serial bus devices on my device manager. Now that I have it connected to the PC, I have a way forward.
It appears as in recovery mode in adb. you can not do anything other than enter "adb devices" and "adb reboot edl"
forcing the phone into edl using the adb cmd of "adb reboot edl" makes the device appear as a port device. This will allow me to reinstall the firmware again using the QFIL program.
I seem to keep falling through the same loop of errors. I wonder if there is a firmware error somewhere or if my phone is somehow rejecting the firmware.
I will update if I get anywhere.
NOTE:
If for some reason you can not get your phone to turn on or it turns off as you press the recovery option.
You need to connect the usb port to provide power via the bottom port and NOT the side port.
I am not sure why it is required, maybe the bottom port energizes more things than the side port does and it causes this fault. If you have both ports connected, it disconnects the bottom port and automatically uses the side port.

There is no error in the firmware, and it is only released after it has been tested and there is no problem.

I'll attempt to figure out why my phone isn't working properly. It may take awhile. Maybe it has to do with multiple attempts of installing the same firmware, or it could be that some of my phones components are already dying and it is just a coincidence.
NOTE: My phone kept failing to properly download johnny886 firmware because my phone (in particular) kept requiring me to switch between the side and bottom ports to keep my phone alive. I am unsure why I this was the case but I was able to finally install the firmware on my phone and my phone is now up and running properly.
I have to give thanks to johnny886 for his files, his video and his efforts. If not for him, my phone would still be a brick.
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've been trying for hours to restore my OnePlus 8T with the global MSM tool and I keep getting the Sahara communication failed error over and over again. My drivers are successfully installed and I've tried 5 different USB ports and 3 different types of cables and nothing works. I've tried rebooting my PC multiple times, and 2 out of the 3 cables I've used are official OnePlus cables.

MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.
