it depends on how you got into this situation, just because your phone is qhsusb_dload mode, does not mean it can be recovered.
A) phone shutdown by itself all of a sudden / in the morning it didn't turn on -> most likely a hardware problem
B) you were flashing something -> maybe recoverable
in case A, it could show up as a Modem device in Ubuntu,
in case B, it should show up as a Direct Access device

You posted this in the HTC one section. You have an HTC one max.. Your partitions are different so what unbrick project did you follow because following the wrong one will lead to a brick?

I did something silly and now my phone is in Qualcom dowoad mode.
I believe this is called a hard brick.
I believe I can flash firmware using the QPST tool ... does anybody have any images in hex that can be used in the tool?
Thanks
Carl.
No. You need JTAG ..

Do you know this for a FACT (experience) or are you speaking with read knowledge from the forum?
I don't mean to offend you BUT it has to be possible to rip the images required from the phone itself.
Qualcomm is used in lot of newer Samsung HTC and other devices. Look up any other device to find your answer.

I did look around the other forums, it seems to me that it can be done. It hasn't yet been done, that doesn't mean it can't.
I posted here to see if somebody had the images.

Are you s-off? I don't think qpst will help if s-on, although I see an SB3.0 tab in latest qpst which may be of interest.
Here is latest QPST (2.7.402) I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020275
I would like to figure this out as well. I suspect it must be possible, since I don't think HTC would have planned to open the One for JTAG.
Here is some info on the xml formatting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208289

These are just morsels of information I have collected but in theory: If you can get a working Hboot (or ENG Hboot?) on an sdcard and get the phone to read it your phone should boot back up. Assuming your device was S-OFF before any of this happened.
Let me know if any of this makes sense..

Do you have the latest drivers installed? I guess the installer still needs the right drivers for fastboot commands.
You could also unlock the bootloader manually. It's really not that hard. If you need help just ask
Hey everyone, I'm new to these forums but was recommended by a friend. He said that if anyone knew how to do what I need to do, this would be the place so I appreciate any help given.
I am looking to wipe out my Nokia Lumia Icon which has the Windows Phone 8.1 Dev kit on it and put on Android. I tried Windows Phone out but there is still a few kinks that need to be worked out before I fully commit. I would normally just go get an Android Phone but finances don't currently permit and the hardware on this phone is nice.
Thanks

Hi,
If I understand correctly, you want to install Android on this phone? If this is so, then you can not.
By cons, I do not quite understand "Windows Phone 8.1 Dev kit" You mean the Preview for Developers?

Yes, I was looking to wipe off Windows Phone 8.1 and install android. Any reason behind why you can't do it? Just software/hardware compatibility or what?

... you're awfully new to this smartphone thing, aren't you? With *very* few counterexamples, what you're asking for is almost never possible. Without going into the technical details:
1) Most smartphones have locked bootloaders. WP8 devices won't load any OS without a MS signature; good luck getting one of those for your Android image.
2) There's no "installer" for Android (or for WP) the way there is for Windows 7 or Ubuntu or something. You have to customize an Android image with device-specific firmware, then flash the whole thing. There currently doesn't exist any Android-compatible firmware for the Icon.
3) Most important of all: SEARCH BEFORE POSTING! It is literally the number one rule on this forum. Lots of noobs have asked this question; it's annoying answering them over and over again.
If you want to install Android on Lumia Icon, why don't you just buy an Android phone ?
HI, I bricked my N950u after rooting with the SamV2 method for snapdragon. I rooted it fine, then tried flashing stock firmware and supersu zip. I know snapdragon is bl locked but I thought I could possibly do something besides hard brick lol. Anyway, does a rooted n950u that they could share a partial or full sys dump with me so I can make a debrick img. Also if anyone knows how to un/debrick please let me know and share. Thanks in advance!!!!
P.s. I know it was stupid to do lol
p.p.s. if your not going to contribute to the solution and or insult my foolish decision please keep your comments to yourself, thanks
You cannot debrick. What does your phone do?
EDIT: you probably are not bricked anyway. Actually you might be bricked if you flashed stock rev1 firmware instead. That would brick you...

I definitely am bricked because my pc picks the phone up as "HS-USB QDLOADER 9008" i.g. hard brick. Doesnt boot into odin, no display on the phone but vibration feedback when trying odin button combo

Yup. Thats 100% a hardbrick. Unfortunatly the debrick img method doesnt work on this phone. Only way to fix at this moment is a carrier swap. Thats how I got mine fixed.

Long shot but... qfil / firehose msm8998 is the way to go with this. Can be done, the hard part is getting the firehose programmer (and maybe rawprogram0 / patch0 xmls too)
Isnt it supported by Z3x / Sigma / Infinity / Octoplus?
Doesnt that "aryk" site have a load of programmer files that could work with your device?
Failing that, JTAG / EMMC flash (pinouts should be around somewhere)
Sorry can`t be more help. I`m working on a similar issue with a Moto Z2 play atm
EDIT: I`m sure the 835 (what you have) supports booting from the SD card.
You need to ask someone with a rooted Snapdragon N8 to make a copy of the first 167(ish) MB of mmcblk0
Like this... (Brief idea... whoever does this needs to do it obviously from shell, on the device itself wether thats from TWRP shell or ADB in *nix / Win thats up to you)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960
Once some kind soul has done this for you and you have downloaded it, write the resulting image to decent SD card using Win32diskimager, place in device and try booting. See if the bootloader runs enough to get you into ODIN.
YMMV but it is a recovery method for Snapdragons. Weather you overwrite EFS / Lose IMEI I don`t know. Only just getting back into Sammy scene.
It is kind of like a failsafe incase of EMMC corruption I think.
I can`t help with this sadly as I`m Exy

Last tax season was supposed to buy 1, but car issues. I know they're expensive. But if they can fix phones with ease. Then well worth it.

Hello everyone,
I have my tablet SM-T713 which finds itself completely blocked following a dumpling on my part:
I had activated a software which prevented the installation of software etc on the tab and wanting to simply reset, I had the ingenious idea of making a Wipe data and attempted an installation of a full firmware via Odin above .
Fatal error ! Unable to write on it (MDM) and I find myself in bootloop without the possibility of writing on it or anything.
I tried the TWRP flash without success, I cannot try in ADB or SD : refused.
Is there a tiny hope or can I use it freezbie?
Thank you really much by advance.
Jonathan

Well I don't know how to build it (yet?) but as I'm interested to know as well, I've asked for how-to on that specific page.
Downloaded a stock T713 ROM and unpacked it.
It contains .mbn files but no .edf I can't identify all what the .mbn are for, if these would be sufficient or more/others are needed.
And of course don't know if the found ones could usefully be flashed with the QPST.
Hope the guy from that page will give positive answers.

The guy wrote an answer but not helpful at all:
<Hi. In case of Samsung devices, the only thing that will work is the Odin program. It’s hard to see a Samsung device getting hard bricked, just because Samsung has all those critical partitions blocked from being flashed. If you ever come across a soft-brick, you can just use Frija to download the latest Odin-flashable firmware and push it through Odin.>
