Hi, please I need your help. I tried to flash stock ROM but I hard bricked my phone. When I connect phone with computer I'm holding volume up button. In device manager it shows "MediaTek USB Port (COM4)" but after three seconds it disconnect. This is why I can't flash ROM. It's everytime disconnect after three seconds.. Please help me.

Maybe you can try to follow this step :http://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
If didnt work,maybe there is a problem in your hardware,try to service your phone to service center.

It didn't work.. Is there a way how to solve hardware problem?

Or trt another ways in this website

What tool are you using to flash the stock firmware .and it will be helpful if you say how exactly you bricked it

I'm using SP Flash Tool for flashing.. I tried to flash stock ROM into my Lenovo A536, when it was done I unplugged phone from computer and tried to power on but there was a problem.. Phone was hard bricked

So your saying the flashtool bricked your phone ?
Where did you get the firmware for your phone cuz flash tool can only brick your device if you used firmware not for your phone. Also does your phone shows any sign of life ie vibrate turn on for a sec, bootloop etc...

I don't remember where did I find it.. There is only one sign of phone life. When I connect it with computer, phone connect but only for a while, after a three seconds disconnect.

I know two guys who had this problems.
1) guy took it to service ,they fixed it.
2) installed phone drivers again and tried again and it worked.
If you're confident you have the right firmware load scatter click download and connect your powered off phone without pressing any buttons ,and see if it works.
Anyway I'm narrowing down the cause of the problem to either an incorrect firmware or a sp flash tool version (some version are ****)

Didn't work

Pull out the battery then leave it for 10 min reinsert and see if it boots (give it some time ) .if it doesn't
Or connect your phone to PC(without battery) ,load scatter click download on sp flash tool ,then put in the battery .

First method - didn't work
Second method - device automatically disconnect after three seconds, so SP flash tool says error

What error code?
I bricked my device same as you so I could help you further but my device connected in meta mode and flashed its firmware fine ,so try another USB cord
Ps I've pretty much mentioned all I know about unbricking in this thread so I can't be of further help.https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...ggeMAA&usg=AFQjCNGkwgZbNQCJFWtm90DM-Mksnzk0dA look this up specifically #9

It didn't work.. Error is: BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)

Brom error is mostly related to see improper firmware which also explains why you're phone got bricked in the first place .
Try downloading another stock firmware

Man? I love you!!! I tried about four ROMs and the fourth is working!! .. There was a one more problem with flashing again with drivers, idk why but they dissapear, so I installed them again and then tried flash ROM.. Thank you very much! You saved my money!

oneplus one hardbrick doesnt show as QHSUSB_BULK,unable to install qualcom2012 driver

I bricked my Oneplus One while flashing CM11 via fastboot using manual commands on cmd.
After giving all the commands for fastboot flash, during reboot the phone did not reboot and it just got bricked.
The big issue with the brick is that the phone is not being recognized as QHSUSB_BULK but it is showing as Unrecognised Device ... i am not able to update the drivers to qualcom 2012 the windows is giving an error as "Windows was unable to install your unknown device".
I've turned on the Testing Mode to install unsigned drivers and the gpedit policy to stop windows automatically installing drivers is also enabled. Also i've changed the setting in control panel Devices and printers -> Device Installation Settings to "Let me choose what to do "and "never install driver software from windows update".
Still the problem persists Please HELP Me.

Okay,calm down!
Which windows are you using? Are you sure you're not able to boot to fastboot mode?

I'm using windows 8.1 64bit version.

That's why I was asking him about which windows he use.Windows XP is hassle free for this driver's issue.

Yes qualcomm 2012 drivers will work just fine.
Make sure you launch the tool with administrator rights.It may take a few refresh and try before flashing starts but it works.
You don't need adb drivers here because this tool uses usb debugging port instead of fastboot/adb.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

You should download One Plus USB drivers.
If you prefer you should use One Plus Toolkit.

Tip1: Use correct usb cable.
I thought the error was is usb drivers but it seems that the error was in usb cable. I lost my oneplus usb cable quite a while ago and was using third party usb cable for data transfer and charging. Tried to connect the bricked OPO with that cable only.
Just ought to try connected with different cable here used Amazon Basics micro usb cable and VOILA!!! The drivers were automatically installed by windows this time.It worked on current windows 8.1. Dont know it was luck or really dumb choice of USB cable.
But thank you very much for helping me out.

Pc can't detect my OnePlus 6

As I mentioned I my pc can't seem to detect my phone at all..it just goes into charging mode as soon as I connect..no adb no MTP or anything.
But my other phone connects just fine.
Things I've tried but failed,
Turning on adb debugging
Setting default usb configuration to MTP
Installing OnePlus drivers in pc
Adb and fastboot drivers along with qfil and miflash tool installed.
Pls guys help me figure this out.
I'm using latest oxygen os 11.1.1.1

Try this:
Fastboot Not Recognized
I am not able to get Fastboot to reconginze my One Plus 6T. I have reinstalled the drivers numerous times to no avail. I have changed ports to no avail. I have change USB cables to no avail. Is anyone else having a similar problem and if so...
forum.xda-developers.com
And maybe another computer just in case.

Thanks bro..but somehow I managed to get it to work with another usb cable..even that wasn't recognised at first,had to try and install various drivers and update them manually.
Do u think my one plus cable is broken now

Could be but keep in mind it has several pins so even if the data is broken or iffy you could always use it as a charging cable.
Either way use it as backup since it's less reliable

Very hard brick OnePlus 8t

I unbricked my OP8t following this guide and decided that just a working phone is not enough for me (yes i so... stubborn)
I flash rom via twrp and got errors: "can't find system_root partition" and "can't find vendor partition".
i flash new twrp via sideload and reboot phone(DON'T DO IT!)
Now my pc can't see phone, but phone can charging.
I don't think anyone can help me... but it's worth a try

Hi, i can't start Qualcomm EDL mode, device does not connect to pc
so it doesn't work for me

Hi,
disconnect and turn off the phone. Start the msm tool and begin the process. Then Push VOL+and VOL- while you connect the phone to the PC. The upload process must be started. (I needed to use USB2 interface to work)
best regards,

I use cable from OP nord 2, usb 2.0 port
I dont know, but it was charging for about ten hours on original 65wt charge

I've found that at times getting MSM to work can be difficult. But I've always been able to, somehow, get it working.
There have also been occasions when I've had to reinstall the Qualcomm driver.
I don't have any specific suggestions for your, but I just wanted to share the notes I've made/collected regarding the tool (attached). They might give you some ideas of things to try.
Note: my PC is running Windows 11 and I'm using the original OP cable.

Bricked My phone, cant get into FastbootD to fix it

So i recently wanted to root my OOS 12 oneplus nord, and i bricked it..
i cant get into fastbootD, Recovery, or anything at all except fastboot, the device is detected as Android bootloader interface in device manager, i have tried using: msm tool, flashing normal rom (error: partition not found and Flashing is not allowed for critical partition)

As a last resort, this worked for me : [OPNORD][OOS AC01AA/BA/DA] Unbrick tool to restore your device to OxygenOS

Ok, I’ll try that and give you an update, Ty!

worth trying another USB port too, even if they are supposed to be the exact same. Same thing happened with my laptop, tried another (presumably identical) USB port and it works first time, every time

1st, u really should find the exact drivers. But also very important to remember booting your PC into Test Mode with Driver Signature Enforcement OFF - BEFORE installing the EDL 9008 Drivers for your device.
Besides, after you press and hold both Vol buttons, u should plug the device in IMMEDIATELY, not waiting for 40 seconds, since each time the device boots into EDL mode, if there's no connection is established in 5 seconds , the device will automatically out of EDL mode.

Hey, so after some time (I got a new phone by now) I managed to fix it, turns out that i had to instantly put in the cable, just like how LinhBT Said
