You can hard brick a lenovo K920 phone, if you (me) are too lame and flash anything you can find, so there's even no lights, not recovery/factory reset/bootloader anymore, here's how to recover:

Yes, in my curiosity of trying to flash various new ROMs and Kernals, I have bricked my mobile twice after which it was completely dead and this did work. When I plugged out the battery connector, there was a little spark which appears to be a static current (???!!!) preventing my battery from charging or powering on my device.

If u are able to get to bootloader, flash firmware with QFIL. You will get everything back.

There's no need to get to bootloader. He needs Qualcomm HS-USB drivers for 9006 and 9008 mods. Get the proper ROM with prog_emmc_firehose; flash(something).xml, rawprogram0.xml and patch.xml, and you're ready to flash!

Hi All,
I waited to drain the battery fully. And out of curiosity just connected it to my laptop. I saw red light blinking and then finally connected to original charger. And I got my device back to life. Then installed S288_ROW using OFIL.

i am having the same problem since this morning.
Phone is bootlooping again and again. Cant enter recovery/download mode.
but some how just now managed to get into download mode, flashed stock kdz, it installed completely (100%), but again when it rebooted after the flash, same boot loops have started and am not able to get through.
this problem is really weird.
Any clue on how to check if i have a Qualcom port or LG port?
You have to force it into the qualcom port with the pin shorting guide

LG G4 H815 - Stuck on Bootloader State

Hi to all,
yesterday I attempted to install LineageOS on my LG G4 h815.
I followed this tutorial -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003
Everything went fine. I was able to boot under LineageOS reinstall my apps etc, etc.
This morning when I woke up everything seemed normal too. But, few minutes ago, I sent an SMS via Google Messages the phone froze and then black screen.
When it froze I had 97% battery.
Ï tried to reboot it with power button -> Nothing.
I tried to remove the battery put it back on and pressed the power button -> One tiny vibration but nothing
I tried several times the same last process and finally I managed to get the screen with "Bootloader state : Unlocked !", but I cannot go further.
If I connect the phone with a USB cable, wether he's "turned on" or turned off no led is blinking.
Does someone have a clue to fix this or has ever encountered this issue ?
Tanks in advance and do not hesitate to refer to an old post. I wil check (but found no same case).

Just to perfectly understand.
Are you advising me to flash my recovery with an older version via my laptop (I imagine via adb/fastboot) despite I can't even get my LG be recognized by my laptop ?
Will the adb/fastboot command be functional as the LG seems not to be recognized on the PC?

The best way to get your laptop I recognize your phone is to get LG up running then with the usb plugged n drop the battery out then put battery back in then close off LG up.
Then start it again and when it go's into download mode the pull usb and close off LG up Then plug it back in with dos prompt open............

LG UP had no effect on the phone.
However, now the phone seems to have 0% battery and when I try to boot it I get the graphics to plug the phone on a source of energy. Once I do that the front led is blinking in orange (I guess because I had less than 1 or 2% o battery) and now the front led is still lit on in orange. Is this a good news or I'm hoping for nothing.
Anyway tomorrow I will try to get it back to my retailer.
Does anyone succedeed to get it replaced by LG even if the bootloader is unlocked ?
Thanks.
After a little journey to the repair shop of my retailer everything seems to work correctly, for the moment, with LineageOS !
Thanks everyone for your help !

Zuk Z2 Plus stuck at EDL - 9008 port & Not booting [SOLVED]

PROBLEM : Lenovo Zuk Z2 is stuck at EDL mode and cannot boot back into system.
DON'T PANIC...
A bit more about it
Zuk Z2 Plus is kind of bricked at Edl mode i.e it is at 9008 , aye.
A bit wierd issue but yes, it suddenly went to EDL and after a dozen tries like Vol & Power button holding and stuff i am not able to get out of edl mode.
There is no LED blinking, no vibration, display won't turn on, no nothing - just dead and is at EDL mode.
I've flashed 1.9 ROM & 2.0 ZUI ROM via QFIL ( as my Zuk is bricked or stuck at EDL mode i can easily flash ) but these don't boot too, or flashed ZUI via MI Flash Tool, but same.
It stays at EDL MODE.
Just for the record, I have bricked z2 a couple of times and after some hard work to get that to 9008 from 900e was able to unbrick it after I was able to get it to EDL mode and do deep flash ... but now in this case I am stuck at EDL. OMG
Device automatically switched to edl..
After searching on the internet!
After searching a lot, i found that same issue has happened in other devices also, possible fix is let the battery drain (will take a long time ) and after that plug in charger as it will turn off edl or disassemble it and disconnect battery ( harmful way)
How I fixed it? / SOLUTION
I let the battery drain to 0% and after that I plugged in the charger and pressed power button for 5 seconds and Viola it booted.
Now, the question is I was able to drain the battery just in a day, what I did is 2 things:
1. Used OTG cable and connected it to another device for 4-5 hours[ - to charge that another device in hope to drain my Z2 Plus's battery.
2. I used a thread or a rubber elastic band and tied that to the phone with a small paper roll pressing the power button and kept it like that for about 5 hours ( at this stage phone keeps on rebooting into edl so drains battery but you will not get to know it as no response will be shown by it - expect the sound it comes if you have it connected with the PC.)
------ Other Methods which seen to work ------
Or another method is Service Center, you can easily lock bootloader by flashing QPST STOCK ROM as you are at EDL - 9008 port.
Or removing the battery and connect it, it will switch off EDL - for this go to Local Shop I don't recommend doing this at home
THANKS - HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU
EDIT : FIXED!!

Hard bricked and Solved.

First things first, NEVER RESTORE A TWRP BACKUP YOU CREATED IN ONE VERSION IN ANOTHER VERSION.
Now coming to my situation, I installed the Deodexed Stable Zui Oreo ROM but as usual got bored with the zui and wanted to go back to my fav Pixel experience Rom so I clean flashed it from the unofficial hendibudi recovery but I couldn't use my internal storage and I once earlier read in another thread that installing 3.0.3 decrypts it so I installed that recovery and clean flashed AEX5.2 Rom this time and same internal storage problem continued so my lazy ass thought I'll restore the TWRP backup I created when I unlocked the bootloader instead of flashing through qfil and that was my mistake.
I created the backup on 3.1.0 but now I was on 3.0.3 so as soon as I restored the backup and rebooted, my phone didn't turn on, no zuk logo or led or anything, if I long press the power button it just vibrates and the led flashes for a sec, that's all.
Edit: feels like this thread belongs to the News/Discussions section than here but meh
Edit2: Solution in Post #4
It seems like qfil, mi flash method is last as your bootloader is also corrupted, and this happens because there are many critical hidden partition on our device so it mess up, when you install first twrp releases, you will notice there are 7 8 partition and in latest one they all are hidden.

well if it's that easy I wouldn't be worried at all but unfortunately my situation is a bit different, I can't flash anything as my phone is recognized as 900E, to flash anything the phone should be recognized in 9008(edl) mode and for that I have to strip the cable and short circuit with it and all that, which is really a hit or miss kinda situation so kinda worried!
But seems like I have no other choice so let's see what happens, I tried stripping the stock usb cable and it got split into half lmao
now I'll buy another cable and will try the copper wire method instead of splitting it
Edit: yeah ik that different versions of TWRP are different but I wanted to restore only the data partition and my data was already encrypted so I thought I have nothing to lose, I was like if it doesn't work I'll flash the full firmware again but didn't expect it to fully brick the phone
Okay the primary reason for me creating this thread was to let y'all know how I bricked my device so that y'all won't repeat my mistake but I saw some people here and there recently asking how to resurrect their device so thought I'll share how I got mine working wishing it'll help such people.
My phone was completely dead, the hardware buttons weren't doing anything, the phone doesn't power off but all I could see was a black screen, so I had to follow THIS GUIDE.
But the above situation is a rarity, I guess most of you ppl could get to the zuk logo or your led keeps flashing and you can use your hardware buttons, in such situations, follow THIS GUIDE.
The above links are for you to get your phone to 9008 mode to be able to flash the stock firmware, but if you don't know how to flash,
refer THIS GUIDE.

Only one solution is there.. after u get sahara error.. disconnect your phone and cable, then again turn your phone on. And then turn it off... After that press volume up+ power button simultaneously while connecting to the usb port, if you are successful, within 2-3 seconds you have to press the download button on QFIL.. then it should work... You can try 2-3 times... For demo, but thia is the only way out of this hard brick
.. i suffered in the sahara error for 3 days since i flashed OOS on my z2 , till today i finally got the solution

The main thing is you have to immediately press the download button(within 2-3 seconds) after reconnecting into 9008 mode

Unfortunately learnt this after unbricking my device
I had installed RR mix rom in my Zuk Z2 plus. while trying to enter fastboot mode, it went off. Now it is completely dead. not being recoganized in my PC.In device manager it is not shown. Tried to deep flash through Qfil, but didn't recoganize port.If i plug in charger also no LED indication, If I disconnect battery & plug in for charging, white LED slowly blinks, in the same mode if I connect charger blinking white LED continues. But once I remove charge & reconnect it shows nothing. again if I remove battery & reconnect, again white LED starts blinking. Apart from this nothing is shown, phone completely dead. Can anybody help please. I tried through Qfil, tried by shorting black & green cable, all types of key combinations.

Redmi Note 5 Pro dead, no fastboot, no recovery, no led

Hi all,
after waiting 15 days, I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, firmware and rom, then rebooted.
the phone is dead ever since.
I can see it in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM10)", but I am not able to flash a rom through miflash.
any help is welcome
*additional informations*
here are the steps i followed:
1) unlocked bootloader succesfully
2) flashed official twrp
3) wiped EVERYTHING except sd ext
4) flashed this firmware
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xiaomi-firmware-updater/files/Developer/
5) flashed this rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ment/ota-resurrection-remix-os-6-0-0-t3777375
6) rebooted, dead
I noticed now that if i try to turn on the phone, the led blinks a few times
PROBLEM SOLVED:
the phone is alive again. Here is what I have done-
1) I opened the phone and tried the test point method, but I noticed that nothing changed in the way the phone was detected by my laptop. So, it's not crucial have "COM 7" in device manager.
Then I basically followed the steps suggested by @Destrangis in post #3
2- In MiFlash Choose CLEAN ALL and install this rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.7.0.NE...179eb04f38.tgz
3- Installed TWRP, WIPES and flash https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528041092 and Magisk
4- Come back TWRP, WIPES and install your favorite rom.

EDL booting and flashing is your solution.
Now, only debatable is will you use EDL booting procedure which requires opening of the phone to short two contacts to be able to boot in EDL or You will use altered ADB which gives possibility to boot in EDL without case opening. This second option is somehow questionable but first, i think, if second option to enter EDL without opening is way to go!

Hi all,
after waiting 15 days, I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, firmware and rom, then rebooted.
the phone is dead ever since.
I can see it in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM10)", but I am not able to flash a rom through miflash.
any help is welcome

Hard brick. I went through it. Follow these steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfkRHAW2iXI .
1- You have to activate the EDL mode.
2- In MiFlash Choose CLEAN ALL and install this rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.7.0.N...EK_20180406.0000.00_7.1_global_179eb04f38.tgz
3- Installed TWRP, WIPES and flash https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528041092 and Magisk
4- Come back TWRP, WIPES and install your favorite rom. :good:
PD: If you see "COM7" in MIFLASH, go directly to step 2.

EDL booting and flashing is your solution.
Now, only debatable is will you use EDL booting procedure which requires opening of the phone to short two contacts to be able to boot in EDL or You will use altered ADB which gives possibility to boot in EDL without case opening. This second option is somehow questionable but first, i think, if second option to enter EDL without opening is way to go!

I tried to test point to give flash in the rom by Miflash, the pc recognizes my device in the COM port, when initiating the process it gives an error message: CAN NOT READ HELLO PACKET. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? my device is simply dead because of that anti-rollback that Xiaomi implemented.

Try to use usb 2.0 ports.
Maybe edl mode has timed out. Press the power button for 20-30 seconds to power cycle the phone.
Or open it up and remove battery pin for a minute. Reconnect and try again.

I already tried on usb ports 2 and 3, and it did not work. Holding the buttons for a long time did not solve either. I opened it to test point, removed the battery, but none of it makes the phone work. The problem is that at the time of fash in Miflash it gives the following error: CAN NOT READ HELLO POCKET. I do not know what this error is or what it is about?

Did you recognize what caused the hard brick to your phone?
I think you followed the right steps, yet your phone got hard bricked, is it a firmware issue or RR rom issue?!

By following his link to the firmware file on sourceforge you will see that he flashed a note4x firmware on his note5... So guess where the issue was...
