the owner of the device said he had active usb debugging, unlocked bootloader he thinks he has. The cell phone does not connect, only the sound when I connect to the computer, would not have blankflash files for it?

Same problem with me after update

Like us, several others gave the same problem, and still no solution

If you have locked bootloader then it's probably an RMA.
For unlocked bootloader check this:

Return to repair / warranty.

My phone is also bricked after the update. Phone was stock.
Had a few instances when the screen would become garbled then phone would reboot, sometimes bootloop a few times.
Last time it did it and never came back on.
Had 70% charge, was on FB messenger and phone won't respond to anything now. Tried a few chargers, etc. Will try to start diagnosing tomorrow if I have a chance.

Sounds like there is no fix for this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/help/help-pixel-xl-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-mode-t3574278
Tools not available to public for repair of this. Guess I will see if I can find a new motherboard for mine, or new phone. :crying:

Xperia L Bricked, EMMC DL TOOL HELP

I was upgrading my Xperia TO 5.1 and was flashing recovery. TWRP was flashed but I was not able to flash any zip through it.
I tried unlocking bootloader but nothing happened. I tried this 3-4 times and suddenly my Phone gone blank.
Now the condition is neither LED or any kind of vibration is working. Phone is detected as Qualcomm Qloader 9008. I tried figuring out and found that bootloader is corrupt. Many person having Snapdragon Chipset have same problem. I found EMMC DL Tool which can repair this but in version 5.2.0.r I am getting invalid user error.
Then I tried Tool studio EMMC tool from ZTE but I am getting error while downloading the Hex file. Phone is detected but unfortunately I am not able to fix it.
Please go through screenshot.
Someone please help me to fix. Either using this emmc tool or anyother.
P.S. Went to SC they said to replace MB which will cost around 6500-7500. But I don't think to spend such money for repairing when I can but much better phone in that price segment.
I am not able to post image. Help me. I don't have 10 post count yet.

So, you cannot get into flashmode or fastboot? Power off your phone, hold volume up and plug it into your pc without hitting the power button. Do you get any blue led or quick led flash at all? I'm not sure about your device's condition but I can surely try getting you files from my phone.
Try installing flashtool and see if flashtool recognizes your phone at all.

Only red LED glows while I plug it in PC. Flashtool can not recognize. EMMC tool recognize but can't find/download the files.
I am pretty sure once I get the tool running it will bring back my phone alive.

Hmm, can QPST find your phone? I'm trying to get a QPST/QCN backup which could be helpful. However, fastboot, flashmode, recovery or device running, I get ports empty. Can anyone help me out here? I can try draining my battery so I have the little phase of the dull red led where the device won't power on until it's a little charged.

I guess yes, but I don't remember exactly. Switch off your phone and connect may be it should detect.

Tried that but it ends up turning on and goes to the charging animation. (Which is after the Sony Logo.) Waiting for my phone to drain

I unlocked it but the ROM zip was not flashing through TWRP. After 2-3 tries my phone went full dead. If you can help it will be great.

Does fastboot devices find anything?
I don't think so. I tried adb devices, find nothing.
confirmed with a local engineer. the so called storage chip on the mainboard was broken. will try to find someone to replace it, then come here to update.
Damn google.

Bricked / trying to flash in huawei usb com 1.0 mode

So title says it all - bricked while updating... Does anyone have a clue how to flash cust.img, kernel.img, recovery.img and system.img in "testpoint" mode ? Btw. my bootloader is locked, so testpoint is the only way I can fix this phone. Does anyone have free software/ firmware files ? I'd contact huawei directly, but they would *hit on my head....

Try to install service software from androidhost.ru using OTG, if that fails you will need to find board software for your phone (Its paid) to access fastboot using testpoint . If you have any questions just dm me

Only black screen, no display output, but it's accessible via fastboot (locked BL and turned off OEM unlock, so no possibility to unlock BL either)

Nope and thanks, got myself a MI9, because I got tired of Huawei locking down everything and also the other things going with Google. Now I have free BL unlock, root and custom ROMs and mainly GCAM + AMOLED display, SD 855, 6 gigs of RAM, etc. Thanks for your time BTW. Never buying Huawei phone again, because being locked in your own phone forever s*cks...

Question EDL mode

Hi, I'm having a brick issue with my moto g100, OEM is locked so I can't flash/boot anything. My only hope of getting it back is booting into EDL and blankflashing the device... problem is, I can't find a way to do so. Does anybody here know how to enter EDL mode with this phone? I've tried several button combinations, EDL cable, but nothing works. The only thing I've left to try is shortening the mobo pins, but I don't know which ones, let alone if the board even has them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a super easy solution. Go to the Google app store. And download the premium bugjaeger app on a different Android device so basically you're using another Android device to run fastboot commands just remember with Android 11 make sure you give both devices debugging access

If you can access fastboot.. try "fastboot reboot emergency"
I know this is prob too late for a suggestion, however have you tried chimera tool to bypass the edl lock? You don't have to pay for that part of the tool
