Hello everybody, so I noticed a lot of people struggling with marshmallow + autorec hard bricks (symptoms: no download mode, no recovery, black screen)
Just to make sure: I'm not responsible for any damages done. This worked for me perfectly, should work for you too. Use it only if you bricked D855 30B!!! (Marshmallow)
Here's what you have to do to fix that:
First follow this amazing guide by senior member l33tlinuxh4x0r, big thanks to him. ---> LINK TO GUIDE
Important stuff: You need to install qualcomm drivers (windows 8, 10 users need to disable driver signature enforcement), you need to short the circuit of your phone, like it's shown in that guide, by shorting it correctly and plugging it in you immediately get connection (keep note of that, there's no need to wait for something, no sound - redo.)
Instead of extracting tot, like it's shown there, use attached files (target Dir). Then again, flash them like it's shown in the tutorial. You should be good to go.

Select the attached download folder as "Target DIR" in the application, it will load the files and let you flash them like it's shown in the tutorial

I've the same problem as you describe here.After I upgraded g3 to marshmallow I applied autorec and my device became hard brick.now my phone under com ports as Qualcomm 9008.
from this point I'm confused that which way to go the first your description 'Instead of extracting tot, like it's shown there, use attached files (target Dir)', Then again, flash them like it's shown in the tutorial'',the second tot file of the rom that we were running. (not older not newer same version).The first way I did not understand attached files where are they ?
if I follow the second way how can I find tot of my rom D855 30B!!! (Marshmallow)?
thank you waiting your help
Instead of tot you use the files from the download link in my post since you don't need to extract tot now, just mark that folder in "target dir" and follow the second guilde, as you call it. Good luck!

Hey guys,
It seems more and more people are receiving the new version of the P8000:
- Stock Android 6
- New fingerprint scanner that is moved slightly higher and is able to unlock phone from screen-off (I confirm this is working)
- Sim 2 is combined with the micro-sd (I haven't tried whether you can have them both in at the same time)
- Somethings new about the display, since people are reporting errors with it after flashing older roms.
Warning: do NOT flash other roms. We have no way to unbrick the soft bricks yet!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/general/p8000-version-announced-t3346848
---
For development:
- The phone does not come pre-rooted. We have no way to flash custom recovery yet. Any tips for getting root? I've tried such tools as Kingo and vRoot, they don't work.
- We need the blocks file (scatter file) for SP Flash Tools. MTKDroidTools reports "unknown rom structure". Any help? Would love to start working on this.
Looking forward to hearing from others who have this version/who can help me with these questions.
Thanks!

Sure thing. On a rooted device, go into adb shell.
Then use "mount" command to check which partitions are mounted. One should be "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system" or similar. Use "dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img bs=1M" to dump the system to the internal sdcard to the file "system.img". If adb complains that bs=1M is an invalid option, try again without that one. A system dump can take some time where you will not get any feedback, so be patient there
Do the same for boot. So "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/boot" should be the way to go for the path. I cannot tell the definite pathes on Android 6.0 but I am rather sure they are more or less like this.
If you run into troubles, just ask

Thank you for your great instructions! The problem is that we've yet to achieve root on this device. We don't have a custom recovery for this version of the P8000 yet and other 'standard' methods of rooting don't work for me.
(I'm pretty solid in shell, so I'll do this afterwards, but I guess root is actually the first step).
// Edit to say: it does not come pre-rooted
Since the elephone support on facebook didn't realize there are two different versions of the P8000 available, I still need a ROM to unbrick my phone.

Anyone willing to ask for a ROM for the new P8000 on the forum there?
ROM Dump
@BlueFlame4
I can provide ROM dump in two versions:
1) a dump from adress 0000 0000 to 9d80 0000 (apr. 2.5 GB in one file)
2) a readback generated with the scatter.txt of the 'old' 5.1 stock ROM (apr. 2.8 GB seperated in 23 files)

Maybe a stupid question
where shall I upload the files - any preferred webspace?

Are you sure we're talking about the same version of the P8000? Cause as far as I know there isn't 5.1 available for this version... Right?
Just checking thank you for your help in any case!! Really looking forward to it.

No, there is only one Firmware available - the mysterious P8000_6.0_20160516.
Btw, this Phone contains a new mainboard model "K06TS-L-V2.0.3" - the 'old' mainboard is moder "K05T...."

No, it doesn't work resp. the phone boots with this firmware, but the LCD-driver is the wrong one - the display only shows coloured lines and blurry spots. And there are probabely some more bugs ....

But if the phone boots with the firmware, doesnt that mean that the scatter file of the regular P8000 works? Since it flashes the firmware correctly.
The problem is that I was not able to flash the 'readback files' to the faulty phone.
When selecting 'Only Download' at SP-Flashtool I got the error "PMT... must be download"
When selecting 'Firmware Upgrade" I got some BROM error code
In both cases I used the same scatter,txt which I used to 'readback' the firmware from the working phone
Actually I have to correct my statement in post #15:
I flashed the faulty phone with the last 5.1 stock ROM (160711) - with this stock ROM the phone boots up but LCD (and probably more things) is not working.
I have actually gotten alot further
You have the use the scatter.txt from Android 6.0, which works perfectly fine. I have been able to extract boot.img, system.img and recovery.img that way (using Readback in SP Flash Tools)
Which ones do you need?
They probably flash fine (only thing I've flashed so far are custom recoveries, and although my ported PhilZ starts, I havent gotten it to mount anything.)
A little warning: don't use anything that has anything to do with Android 5.1. Those scatter files don't work
These are great news!
"Which ones do you need?"
Probably all of them
Ok this contains the scatter file, preloader, system.img, boot.img and stock recovery.img
https://ehaffmans.stackstorage.com/index.php/s/uKGKCir0BociydU
You need SP Flash Tools v5, select the scatter file first, then deselect everything, and only select these 4 and manually select the correct files.
Btw, the name of the preloader file is wrong, don't worry. It came from this phone
I am of course not responsible for anything!
Can you guys please confirm this doesn't contain anything personal? Like personal files or IMEI or something. Thanks!
Already extracted mmcblk0 can be found on the following thread here
Can someone with a rooted stock rom please pull the following partition and upload it here
Requirements
Rooted moto g5
TWRP recovery
Blank micro sd card (at least 32gb)
make sure adb debugging in enabled in dev options
enter TWRP recovery
Follow instructions from here but amend the extract command with the values given below
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76795590&postcount=1
If you have a 32gb varient use
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/<STORAGE-ID>/mmcblk0.img bs=1048576 count=29820
and if you have a 16gb varient use
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/<STORAGE-ID>/mmcblk0.img bs=1048576 count=14910
Please note this partition will be very large so compress it in a zip file as best you can and you will obviously need good internet connection and file storage to upload it
Please also enclude what varient the mmcblk0 was taken from with your upload
How to here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76795590&postcount=1

Try using the instructions here
With my method you probably have to mount the partition & I can't remember the commands
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76795590&postcount=1
If you don't have Linux/Ubuntu I presume you can use the terminal window in twrp - as long as it can get root access but better using Linux/Ubuntu either as stand alone or a virtual machine

Can anyone create a link for me to download this mmcdlk0 for the bike g5 xt 1672? because I need to put in a micro, so I recover my defective device in the bootloader. Thank you!
I'm still waiting for someone to provide the mmcblk0 partition
If you have a working rooted moto g5 see the first post
what's new, nobody could get the mmcblk0 file or esque do not want to help, this is the last straw.
just because I do not have another motorcycle g5 but towards the attempt, but good.
but it will be necessary to take it with a technician to the end that already came out a method to revive it through a box precisely Medussa pro, but we see light in that help us in this I think it will be the only alternative so far, or wait for the blank to come out flash that as I see it will take time.

Hi, I'm trying to make the mmcblk0.img but with the bs and count that says in the g5 forum, it only weighs 4GB.
can you give me the data
I think it has to do with the ram, the G5S is 3.

It's because of the file system. Fat32 can only handle files up to 4GB. Best way to get around this, is to first format the sdcard in exFAT or ext4 on your computer (sdcard reader).
Here is a mmcblk0 image someone sent me
Unzip it
Use an sd card boot image tool to create a bootable sdcard with the image (one that can handle a dd image)
You may need to format the sd card to ext4
If it works it may take a long time before it does boot from sd card
mmcblk0.zip
See below for how to write image
https://www.embeddedarm.com/blog/how-to-write-an-sd-card-image-linux-windows-mac-osx/
my mmcblk0 weighs 27.9 Gb (30,000,000,000)
Is it the right size?
Happiness777 said:
Friend and created the mmcblk0 but I am in doubt if the size is accurate

Either that link doesn't work or it's not accessible to me
Make sure the sd card is formatted to ext4 when you create the image
The image I posted is 15gb (once unzipped) but since I don't have this device I can't check it
Bricked my razer a while back reinstalling the stock firmware. The cable unplugged from the phone and corrupted the storage. Cant enter recovery or bootloader. But according to some resources that i came across while doing some research, im able to interface with the device using the qualcomm hs-usb protocol. With that im able to directly access the devices storage. If anyone is willing to help, what id need is for you to wipe your device clean, and run these commands
Adb shell
Su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/backup.img bs=512 count=30535646
From there id be able to delete the partition table, and copy the devices storage config from the backup. Once thats established id be able to access bootloader recovery and system.
If anyone is able to help, id really appreciate it

Nope nothing yet, we need either emmc development files for the phone, no likely to find. And with the qualcomm tools the corrupted storage can be re partitioned and again be written to.
However if someone with a working razer was to wipe the device clean, and dump partition info. Then the images can be written to the device, over writing the damaged partitions.

Your razer is in a state known as EDL. I5s the qualcomm Emergency Download mode. Used to program your emmc storage. That is exactly what the few of us are experiencing, however with no owners of the device willing to share a default wiped image of their emmc, there is no way for us to remap the partitions appropriately in order to once again flash and access the bootloader.
If you could let me know how one would do it I might be able to help you before I sell my razer phone
Thank you, if you restore your phone back to factory settings, connect to pc via adb and run the command in the initial post. That command should (from what i read elsewhere) create a full backup of the partitions on your device. If you are successfull and are able to share through some cloud storage such as dropbox or something of the like, i should be able to restore my razer.

im guessing i will need root to run those commands, atm i am performing a full nandroid backup of everything before i do the reset, my phone is rooted and has twrp installed on both a and b partions
extracted the files, the img is 13GB so gonna compress it before i upload it, hopefully it should work but will have to be tomorrow now
uploading the file now
ok done, heres the link
http://www.mediafire.com/file/j3j6pp3ym161t0q/backup.7z/file
you will need 7zip to extract it which you can get from here for free www.7zip.org

file.do you know how to use this to restore/repair our phones?.
Excellent, i will take a look and see if i can push it to the device in edl mode. The thread has been dead for a while, so it may take a while for me to review all the previous resources that led me to the point where i had posted this thread.
Thank you so very much!
This is the article I was using to attempt salvaging my phone.
https://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/
Unfortunately I am in the EDL mode where my device storage is not recognized, so I am unable to tamper with it until the razer phones flash programmer or firehose files have been leaked.
Hopefully someone else may have success resurrecting their device using dtronic's backup and or with the information provided in the link.
Thank you any and all of you who have contributed or followed the thread. But my trail ends here unless the flash programmer files are somehow made available.
Unfortunately sadly I too couldn't work out a way to flash or recover razer phone with the upload from dtronics.thank you to all involved,but I think it's time to chuck the old razer in the bin.this is my first ever failure or perm bricked device since I started rooting etc with the HTC wildfire.
?
Tried Klinik handphone medan (google search). They have firehose for msm 8998 but I removed the usb cable when it was flashing (didn't look like it was flashing anything) now the computer don't even recognize the phone....
getting this message "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)".

I wouldnt know for sure. But my understanding is the programmer files (firehose or sahara files) arent stored on the device. They are used by programmer interface to identify the processor as well as the storage media, possibly all harware for the device. If this were a more mainstream device the programmer files may have been available to us through a leak. Only way to fix it at this point would be to bring it to a shop, they should have access to the files one way or another.
I don't know, I don't have my razer phone any more, went and got myself a OnePlus 6t, the emmc file is still available to download from my post and still looking for people to mirror the file
EDIT: THE DEVDB PROJECT HAS RISEN UP!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/project-real-unbrick-hard-bricked-moto-t3927107
This is so easy to do, and can be sooo helpful if one day You will end with hard-brick.
If you have any questions send me a private message. :good:
Hey! My name is Jacob and I must tell you that there is one common problem with Moto Z Play - OTA after downgroading results in hardbrick :silly:
I have also bricked my device some days ago, since then I have gathered interesting info, probably all old and not so old blankflash files (these were used in the past to unbrick, but don't work now) and two tools, that allowed me to make proper rawprogram0, patch0 and gpt_main0.bin needed for making files, that will allow everyone to unbrick.
But this can be worth nothing without your help. Problem with unbricking, is that last OTA, updated chip security making unable to flash older chip firmware rendering all flashfiles useless. To make new one, I must get some files that are not present in the internet, but are present in ALL working phones. All I need is full mmcblk0 backup. If you want to help follow these easy-peasy instructions:
INFO: Procedure bellow excludes EFS, MODEMST1, MODEMST2, FSG, BACKUP partitions from backup. These are your phone specific partitions, that contain sensitive information like IMEI, serial numbers etc, but this guide shows how to avoid them while backing up so you don't have to worry about it
Prerequisites:
1. Your phone might be rooted (but doesn't have to be), definitelly should be working and not messed up too much.
2. You must have at least 32 GB micro sd card
3. Any ROM, even custom will be good, but if you have stock, you get +1 point
Steps:
1. If you have TWRP recovery, boot into it and go to step 2.
If you don't have, here is official one https://eu.dl.twrp.me/addison/ - rename it to "twrp.img" and boot to it with
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
2. Backup your /data partition and keep it in safe place
3. Format sdcard in ext4 (it is more robust and failsafe) or FAT32/exFAT (if you are on windows).[/URL]
4. Wipe /data on your phone and insert sdcard. Under "Mount" tab in TWRP, check box next to SD-CARD.
5. Open TWRP terminal emulator (It is in advamced tab), type "su" and run these command:
If you trust me that I won't do bad things with your IMEI:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/[U][I]"Ext sd location here"[/I][/U]/Loader.img bs=4096
This just makes full-backup of your all partitions from Qualcomm chip.
OR
If you don't trust me:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B][COLOR="Red"]X[/COLOR][/B] of=/[B][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]Y[/COLOR][/B]/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]X[/COLOR] bs=4096
Where X is number of partition from 1 to 54 BUT NOT: 27 (modemst1), 28 (modemst2), 29 (fsg)
and Y is location of your SD-CARD. This will only back up partitions without IMEI, and other phone-specific info.
6 Generated files will be HUGE (~27GB). Copy them to pc and upload to cloud. Maby https://mega.nz/ - probably only they have enough space for that file for free.
7 Post link here or send it to me via Private Message.
8 That's all! If you managed to get here, all comunity is grateful, :highfive: you will be included as biggest contribuor to the new thread I will make in near future!
If I find the time I will throw my old Z Play back to stock and try this. But can take a while before I have that time. Especially uploading that amount of data which would take me at least 12 hours. So if I do that, I will most likely get it into a split archive
Unfortunately I don't have a 32Gb sdcard. If there's another way to do this, I'm willing to help

The only other way I know would be a USB C OTG adapter and a USB stick...

Thank you very much guys! You don't even know how much did you motivated me to continue research when I got your responses. If you will have any problem, ask me for advice - I will try to help. :highfive:
In case of Artim_96, you probably know this one, but to split dd image, you can use (obviously) "skip" parameter, for example:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0_1.img bs=4096 count=10GB
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0_2.img bs=4096 skip=10GB count=10GB
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0_3.img bs=4096 skip=20GB count=10GB
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0_4.img bs=4096 skip=30GB
In case of Camarda: ...
Code:
adb -d shell su -c busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=4096 > D:\mmc.bin
... should do the job, where "D:\mmc.bin" can be any other valid location on your pc.
To make this work, you must have root and busybox installed.

that would be a solution, but I guess it's way easier to create one image, zip it and let it get split to about 5 GB chunks, and probably creating a check sum for each before upload
---------- Post added at 17:02 ---------- Previous post was at 16:56 ----------
but what I don't get: I should make a backup of /data, for what? And then I should connect the phone to my PC, but the following commands look very much like linux commands, so the connection to PC seems unneccessary. Plus, for what reason does the SD Card need to be ext4? the commands should work with exFAT too plus no windows system can read ext4. And there is no program to read it for Windows that's slow as hell

Sorry, I was in a bit hurry when I was writing tutorial. I have just corected misteakes in it. :silly:
That part with backing up /data and wiping it is just for Your comfort - You probably don't want to include all you photos, videos contacts etc, in the backup, I am wrong?
EDIT: You are right, solution with splitting archive is clearly better, becouse of smaller size and auto merging archives

Would it help you to get /data too? It's my old phone, screen is quite damaged so there is nothing worth looking for on it. Plus it was completely wiped twice by flashing the firmware with flashfile and unlocking the bootloader again since flashing the firmware locked it.
Data partition is absolutely not needed, but thanks for asking!
zip compressing was totally worth it. It went from 29.1 GB to just 2.58 GB?

@Camarda - You are from Brasil, so you probably have different version of software, so if you will upload it, phones outside of Europe can be safed too. Do you still want to help?

I just sent you the file, tell me if everything is ok
Thank you! Artim's backup is not working on my phone, and I suddenly realised that my exam ending my school are in less than month (!), so I didn't have time neither to write a thread, nor to reverse engineer the file, but I will try to find time and test your backup!
Ps. Don't worry about me beeing temporiarly inactive, this thread is my current target and I won't give up!

Bobernator, I'm just posting to let you know that I am very thankful for your efforts and to take as long as you need. I have a LATAM XT1635-02 that got bricked by an automatic update quite a few months ago. It's in fastboot state. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.
I now own a XT1710-06, so if you think the files from it could be useful, let me know.
Welcome again! My exams have just ended (I hope they went well) I am temporally at my uncle's house so I don't have access to files and info I've gathered, but I will return to home at friday and even Easter will not stop me, becouse I have decided to start DevXDA project!
Stay with me guys

I think I you can easly fix your phone, since fastboot works. You will need factory update zip, it is pinned somewhere in this forum, but if you feel unsure (you can brick phone even harder with this method if it goes wrong), I can assist you during the weekend and share a link with correct zip.
And thanks for support!
Device which you have is Moto Z2 Play (albus) that have next version of the chip in Moto Z Play (addison). My plan is to fix addison by combining some of the firmware from it and albus, but these files are available freely and you don't need to send them.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, i've been quite busy with exams as well.
It's been a while since the phone is bricked, and i think fastboot was the wrong word. When it is plugged in it appears as a qualcomm device and the LED blinks, but other than that the phone does absolutely nothing. I remember being unable to unbrick it because of needing a `programmer.pem` file specific to the version of android that was installed.
The phone had an unlocked bootloader, twrp and supersu. It got stuck during an OEM update from 7.1.1 (i think) to 8.0.0. It was stuck for over four hours, I turned it off by force and then it never turned on again .
With regards to the Moto Z2 files, that's fantastic to hear. If there's anything else I can do to help, please say so. I've configured email alerts now so i'll get notified when you reply .
Thanks for the effort!
