nubia x fastboot loop - ZTE Nubia X Questions & Answers

hi community
i hope someone is still active in this nubia x section, because i hope for some help.
i flashed twrp to my nubia x with using Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
with twrp i flashed the new rom 3.21.
as i tried also to flash gaps i got in the "your device is corrupt. it can't be trusted and will not boot g.com/abh" error.
but because i still was able to flash files with Minimal ADB and Fastboot i flashed all the *.img files i found in the NX616J-update.zip to the phone.
so i was able to boot the recovery mode and flashed the original rom 3.21 with otg from usb stick.
then the nubia x booted normal to the original rom, but because the playstore wasn't working, i flashed again twrp with Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
in twrp i used all swipe and format functions because i thinked i want clean what i can to start from the beginning.
sorry i dont remeber exactly all the steps i did.
and now my problem is the phone only boot to the fastboot menu.
Minimal ADB and Fastboot seems to still work normal, i can unlock the device and flash twrp.
but after reboot i am still in the fastboot menu.
only boot do edload don't boot to fastboot, and if i boot edload i can connect the phone to my pc and with the qfil-tool i see connect:
"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)
But to use qfil to flash i think i need a "MetaBuild Configuration (contents.xml)", and i can't find this file for nubia x.
i hope someone has an idea how i get my phone out of this fastboot-loop and share it here.
thanks and kind regards
hoitschau

i found the solution, thanks to rcsj.

[Completed] Help with Bricked Blu LIFE PURE XL 16GB Snapdragon, tried everything...

Hello everyone.
I'm having problem in flashing a ROM into my Blu Life Pure XL 16GB with Snapdragon (Equivalent to Redmi Note 3).
My smartphone is in the following situation: >>>It only boot into fastboot mode.<<<
I cant get into recovery mode, or EDL or anything else. Debug mode is enable and bootloader is unlocked. Tried every "button combination" and no sucess.
My PC recognize ADB interface driver, i can see my device in "fastboot devices", but if i try to type "fastboot continue" my device just get stuck on BLU logo and i must restart it. (In cant ever turn off the device)
I tried to flash a ROM through MI Flashtool, the software recognize COM port everything seems to be ok, but if i try to flash a ROM then tooks forever. The green bar gets full, more then 3 hours waiting and nothing.
I also try to enter in EDL mode to try flashing a ROM through QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader), since i can only get fastboot mode i just downloaded "fastboot EDL" that i found here on XDA however its not worked, its just get stuck in "Waiting for device...". I can list my device normally using Minimal ADB and Fastboot version 1.4.2 but no sucess with Fastboot EDL V1 and V2.
All drivers are installed and working.
Anyone else have another method?
There is another FASTBOOT EDL that works on my device?
Thanks guys.
Hi there and welcome to assist,
Unfortunately there is nothing about your question/device on XDA forum. Try a Google search first or contact the manufacturer for stock firmware and flashing instructions.
Also you can try this [GUIDE]How to reboot to EDL from fastboot
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
Good luck

I realize this is a very old post, but in hopes that the information will be helpful to any current device owners, I'll address the question:
The AT&T Alcatel IDEAL (4060a) ships with a fully.unlocked bootloader. As such, installing TWRP custom recovery is simple to do once root of the stock OS is attained. NOTE: fastboot mode has been disabled on the 4060a by Alcatel (TCL). Trying to boot to bootloader mode from recovery or using the command
adb reboot recovery
from a terminal or command prompt will only reboot the device. Without fastboot mode, recovering a bricked device is very problematic unless the device will boot into TWRP recovery mode. From TWRP, a stock Android 5.1.1 ROM can be installed which will recover your device to its stock factory state. In the unfortunate event your device is hard bricked (unable to boot into either the OS or TWRP recovery mode), your only option is to push stock firmware to the device using a firehose programmer via Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader (9008 mode), also known as Emergency Download Mode (EDL).
Please !!!, where do I find the "firehose programmer file" for the AT & T ALCATEL 406

Cannot boot my OnePlus 6! Please help!

Hey guys!
So, my OnePlus 6 won't boot! My problems started when I tried to flash MIUI 10 port. Idk what I did, and appeared to me "your device is corrupted". But ok, i could boot normally.
Then, I tried to downgrade, as there is a tutorial here in XDA, I was in OOS 9.0.4, then rollback to 5.1.1 (i guess) with appropriate file. Installed it, and rebooted it. But it was taking longer than I expected, and I rebooted it into fastboot mode to flash stock image into fastboot (as there is a tutorial here too). And after this, the ROM install, in my computer everything seems to be ok, but as soon as the CMD reboots it, the message "unlocked bootloader" appears, and then, goes black. Only that. Oh, the notification LED also lights up white!
I connected it into my pc, and i can hear the sound that "something is plugged in", but I can do nothing. I can access fastboot mode normally though.
Tried the tutorial in msm download tool, but had some problems... I mean, it doesn't recognize my phone, but if I put in PowerShell, and type "fastboot devices", it recognizes it.
Could you please help me?

Did you installed fastboot adb drivers and oneplus drivers?
Or maybe try to wipe everything in fastboot and then install fastboot stock rom...
Follow the guide of msmdownloadtool, it's the best way to recover your phone, it's a pain the part of install the qualcom driver, but persist
only way to recover stock receovery and back to normal is to install msmdownload tool you can see the videos available on you tube

I tried this method before, and find this method to be simpler. If the PC is not recognizing your phone, try powering completely off, then press Volume Up button for at least 5 secs before plugging into the PC and going into the MSM flashing tool. You don't need OnePlus drivers preinstalled for the PC to recognize your phone in this state. From there, just click "Start" on the MSM flashing tool, and wait for your phone to boot back to life. Take note any data inside will be completely wiped clean, like it was flashed from the factory. This YouTube guide here will help you better understand this.

If you are able to use fastboot, can you download the latest compatibly TWRP for your device from the official website (twrp.me) get the IMG & ZIP files ( you can use just the image for both, but to keep it simple get both).
Boot into TWRP using the image you just downloaded by running
Code:
fastboot boot <img file name>
Your device should reboot into TWRP.
With your device in TWRPyou should be able to push the file to the phone using ADB push.
Code:
adb push <twrp zip file.zip> /sdcard/
From within TWRP install this zip image. * Now you should have a permanent TWRP recovery, until another OS/recovery flash.
To get the OS on the phone now -
Download the most recent official release for Stable OOS.
Code:
adb push <full os image.zip> /sdcard/
*That should put the file in the root of the SD card folder.
Again use TWRP to install this zip file on to the phone. * This will wipe the TWRP image we had just installed.
To get TWRP again, just flash TWRP after the OS image flash.
I would also suggest, reboot back into TWRP and install the OS & TWRP again as above.
Flashing the OS twice will flash the same version on both Partition A & B. This is essential.
If you find these steps confusing then the simple solution would be to use the MSM downlad tool it does everything for you with a few clicks.

Your bootloader needs to be unlocked to use a fastboot ROM.
Is it unlocked?

Yes it’s unlocked , any help
Search on the fast boot rom thread for the fast boot rom version you were last on, i have used this many times and it worked.
One thing to note, after it flashed everything , I ended up in crash dump error. I went into stock recovery and wiped/formatted my device and it boot up great.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/msm-tool-guac-for-all.3934691/ - just follow this guide
One thing that worked for me is when your phone is plugged into your pc open a command prompt and type fastboot boot twrp-*.img (make sure it is the .img not .zip), and from there download the twrp installer .zip and flash that, reboot to recovery, and install the OTA for your device (OTAs can be found at this thread).
If it fails to boot and gives you an error, try fastboot getvar all to see which slot is currently active then do fastboot --set-active=*inactive slot letter* then fastboot --set-active=*original active slot letter* then try to boot to the twrp .img from fastboot again. If fastboot doesn't detect your device at all, try seeing if adb devices outputs anything, and if it does type adb reboot bootloader

IN2017/TMO flashing Global failure, stuck with CrashDump & Fastboot, no EDL/MSM, etc.

Hi guys,
I think I've tried it all at this point so I'm in need of some help.
I've got the T-Mobile IN2017 version of the OP8. I wanted to get rid of the T-Mobile junk and get access to the "regular" updates.
I started with this guide: [Guide] Convert to Global [WIP]
I got my unlock token today and gave 11.0.0-GLOBAL-OnePlus8Oxygen_15.O.30_OTA_0300_all_2010031624_c5e68b42b3325-FASTBOOT a shot. When it booted into Rescue Mode I assumed something had gone wrong so I told it to wipe everything and I figured I'd start over. I realized this was probably a good thing because I had neglected to backup anything.
I used instantnoodlet_15_O.16_201001 to reset. I couldn't get the volume up + volume down combination to work at all so used adb to reboot in edl. All went well.
I then re-unlocked the bootloader, flash booted into twrp-3.3.1-test10-instantnoodle-unified-mauronofrio.img and made some backups.
I installed the latest Magisk (changing .apk to .zip) within TWRP, and used adb shell to make a backup of my persist.img
I went back to 11.0.0-GLOBAL-OnePlus8Oxygen_15.O.30_OTA_0300_all_2010031624_c5e68b42b3325-FASTBOOT and ran the flash-all.bat but this time it failed and I've found myself bricked: CrashDump Mode.
I've only been able to switch betwen CrashDump Mode, off, and Fastboot. When I'm in Fastboot if I try to start or boot in recovery it just ends up back at CrashDump. If I do a hard power off and try holding volume up + down to get into edl I end up at Fastboot again as soon as I plug the usb in. The commands fastboot reboot edl, fastboot oem edl, and fastboot reboot-edl all give me errors. I can no longer flash boot into TWRP. I've tried flashing the 11.0.0 Global again but I get "Flashing is not allowed for critical partitions" and "partition not found" errors before I end up back at the CrashDump screen.
When in CrashDump it shows up in my device manager as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (COM13). When I'm in fastboot it appears as OnePlus Android Bootloader Interace. I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled the drivers (OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup, QDLoader HS-USB Driver_64Bit, androidwinusb). I'm using the latest Platform Tools. I am in test mode and I have turned off driver signature.
I only have two USB 3.0 ports and I don't have access to another Windows PC. I have used three different USB cables, including the OnePlus original, in both ports. I have taken off my phone case to make sure nothing is interfering with me pushing volume up + down. My thumb hurts from pressing it so much. I've done this dozens of times now. No EDL.
I'm at a loss. Someone please help me!
Edit: I've tried using the All-In-One-Tool but it says reboot to EDL doesn't work because I'm in fastboot and trying to boot into the latest twrp still just sends me back to CrashDump.
Solved!
I came across this twrp guide: [TWRP][3.6.0-11-b7][instantnoodle]TWRP for OnePlus 8/8Pro ][OFFICIAL][BETA] and unlike the other I had used, this one didn't warn against flashing and only booting. I flashed the img for twrp-op8-3.6.0_11-infected-b4 to recovery_a and recovery_b and booted into recovery. At first it just said I was in fastboot, it didn't give me all the usual twrp options, and the only buttons were to reboot and to switch between fastboot and adb (which did nothing, it stayed in fastboot). I tried to reboot to edl and ended up back at the fastboot screen. From here I tried again to boot into recovery and this time I got all the usual twrp options. I rebooted into edl and was able to successfully unbrick with the 10.5.7 MSM. Flashed the global 10.5.7 MSM and I'm set. Updated to A11 and everything is groovy!
