Pixel Bricked & replaced - old phone returned - can i revive it somehow?

Hi all,
My Pixel bricked a few months back & was still under warranty. It was replaced & I've just today received the original bricked phone back to my surprise.
When plugged in via USB it shows as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
QFIL detects it but I can't find any .xml, .mbn, .hex files to flash it with.
Can i copy anything of the working phone (exact same model), to my laptop to then revive the bricked phone?
Thanks in advance for your advice...

Any luck with this? My girlfriend's Pixel is stuck in this mode as well. I can't find these files anywhere on the net. She's starting to get a little cranky.....please help!

Unfortunately the files you are looking for are not available. The have not been released

Thanks for the reply. How and when do these files usually get released? Do you advise I keep the device in hopes that I will be able to revive it in the near future?
Thanks!

I wouldn't advise keeping it. They honestly will probably never be released, sadly.

Your right, IF you have a working bootloader. The op does not.

I was having this same issue. Currently running crDroid and selected the Reboot Recovery option from the advanced Power Menu. It turned off but didn't come back on. Tried booting into the bootloader but got nothing. Plugged it into my PC and saw the same device description then realized I probably had a hard brick. I was about to give up when I decided to just hold the power button alone and after about 20 seconds it booted normally. Looks like I dodged a bullet.

Oneplus6 Stuck on rolling dot

Hi all,
My stock ROM Oneplus 6 (3 weeks out of warranty :crying: ) became unresponsive today and crashed.
It failed to boot back in to the OS so I cleared cache - no better, then system settings - no better, then data - no better - but this time I got the Qualcomm crash dump mode.
I've used MSMDownloadtool to flash first - enchilada_22_O.09_180517, then after that did not boot i tried - enchilada_22_O.30_190403.
MSMDownloadtool 'worked' as far as I can tell, as all messages were positives (no errors) and the phone restarted
But unfortunately both have the same result, the phone is stuck on the android spinning dots - no Qualcomm crash dump anymore - small blessings.
I can get into both recovery and fastboot, but I'm at a loss as to what to try next.
I thought the MSMDownload tool was the nuclear option and would work - but no.
Would anyone have any suggestions ?
Thank you!
Dan

Try to flash a stock rom with fastboot, you can find a stock one in the forum and will find a batch file that will flash all the partitions for you, good luck

Thank you Chinaroad,
I'm sorry for the stupid question, but I thought the MSMDownloader tool was a stock ROM installed through fastboot - this is all new to me - do I need to follow a different method ?
Thanks again
Dan

The msm is a tool that flashes the stock rom at another level than fastboot, and yes as you said it's the ultimate solution and it's strange that it doesnt work for you, so since you can access to fastboot, try to flash it that way without using msm

I'm trying the flash-all.bat method, but the guide I'm using (and the program output) tells me the bootloader must be unlocked - of course it isn't.
I've tried Tool All in one to unlock the bootloader - but I get the error message Failed (remote: 'Flashing unlock is not allowed')
What step am I missing...
Sorry, and thanks again
Dan

it says flashing unlock is not allowed cuz i think it needs to be activated in dev menu of the phone, but since you can't power it up ..... . So lets comeback to MSM, are you sure all the files are there and you get no output error?

I've weakened and gone for an RMA - in some vain hope that they'll offer a warranty repair :fingers-crossed:
I've followed the guides for MSM to the letter, and it gave only positive feedbacks - but then just wouldn't complete the boot.
From reading these forums - anyone at the stage / with the symptoms I found myself with seems to have been resolved with an RMA
I guess if I'm an idiot and it was software, then the charge won't be huge, I'll suck it up - if I'm not and the issue was hardware then I'll make a descision when I know.
Thanks for your time, and I'll be sure to feedback !
Dan

Goodluck hope you fix it for free or at least not too much

One plus honoured my (technically expired) warranty and replaced the main board.
Great news, if a little late, I did already buy a OnePlus 7 Pro...

OnePlus 7 stuck in "Your device is corrupt it can't be trusted" after locking the boo

OnePlus 7 stuck in "Your device is corrupt it can't be trusted" after locking the boo
Help. I've made a big mistake. I can only access the Bootloader. Recovery mode is not accessible.
As with the 7 Pro, I didn't like the standard 7 and decided to return it. Thought it would be a good idea to lock the bootloader before doing so.
OnePlus support won't help me and they are telling me that I can't return the device anymore. "Repair is the only option now" even though I'm in the 30 days return window.

If thats not working because of locked bootloader, you can try the MSMTool.

I've looked through it but couldn't find anything. Sorry, I am extremely stressed out as tomorrow I am supposed to return this phone and I want to make sure that it passes inspection.
So, I did the following:
- Used the unbrick tool which lead me to HydrogenOS
- Installed the latest OxygenOS version on top of it
- Did a factory reset, and so far everything looks to be in working order.
Am I missing anything here? Are there any possible changes done to the device so that it won't pass inspection?
Sorry again for being so annoying...

So if OxygenOS works and you also did a factory reset, your device should be fine. Check bootloader status. But it should be locked.

Pixel 5 Bricked

Hello all,
I did a big mistake, I wanted to go back from DP 3 to Android 11 and once I was going to do the CMD steps, I downloaded the wrong Firmware for the Pixel 5
I didnt see that mistake until I started the steps and the phone turned off and did not turn on anymore.
I know I made a big mistake, but can I do to revert this? I try to restart the phone but nothing, not via power button for 10 or 20 or 30 sec.
Please help

So you used a firmware that was older or one that was for a different device?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
What exactly did you download?
Does the phone charge?

Mine bricked about a month ago and Google suggested uBreakiFix. They tried to do a force flash on it but it didn't work. They ended up replacing the motherboard which fixed it, but now my proximity sensor is always on. I don't know if they can fix that or if it will require another motherboard.

I have same problem, but i can go to bootloader. The problem my phone is locked bootloader and i don't have recovery mode. And when i try to flash it because of locked bootloader i can't do anything. Is there any solution for unbrick locked bootloader?

how did you end up with it like that with bootloader locked? what caused it?

I have the same issue like p_a_r_s_a7 with my Pixel 5.
Only fastboot mode: can't find valid operating system
After flashing the 'right' OTA image for Android 12 DP3 the device cannot be restored anymore.
The image was successfully flashed by 'adb sideload' as recommended.
Seems that a locked bootloader is not 100% save from 'flashed to death'
600 EURO paperwight.

I had this same issue on my 4a 5g and after many hours I managed to fix it. I don't recall exactly but I went through every option of flashing stock via fastboot and android flash tool it eventually worked this was 2 months ago

Android flash tool immediately detect the locked bootloader and stopped without flashing.
I've tried to check/uncheck every option but no luck. I've used Windows 10.
Did you used the common USB driver requested by Android flash tool ?
Anything else that could be special, eg Linux environment ( what distro, version .. )
Any detail could help..

Hello,
My phone is crapped coz I flashed a wrong boot.img on it after messing up the update (forgot to flash magisk and lost root). I can access Fastboot still but that's about it. IF anyone can provide the right boot.img for that device that would be grately appreciated.
I'll use it to see if I can restore my phone and then patch it correctly this time.
Thanks for any help
