Hardbrick Lenovo K920 - K910 ROM in K920 smartphone with QFIL - Can't boot now - Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

I was just reinstalling the stock android ROM of my Lenovo K920 but accidentaly I downloaded a K910 ROM and installed it by QFIL. Now my smartphone won't boot at all, all shortcuts like VOLUME+/VOLUME- won't do anything to the smartphone and therefore I can't now enter QFIL mode (if i click on VOLUME UP and insert USB, QFIL never recognizes my smartphone).
I would like to know if there is a way to flash a ROM without pressing any button combinations? Or is there any other solution for this massive problem?
UPDATE: tried to disconnect battery but no success.
I really didn't want to lose my smartphone.
I need urgent help!
Thanks in advance.

Fortunately I could get there on my own. You have to put a metal material at the Test Point in the back of the Lenovo K920 connecting the two test point dots.
Then QFIL will recognize your smartphone in EDL mode and everything went as expected.
Hope this helps people with the same problem in the future.

I know it's been a long while since you had this problem, but as I have to face it myself without any clue how to solve it I thought it was a good idea to recover this thread.
First of all, let me say it happened to me with a Xiaomi mi5s. I had already installed adb & fastboot, as well as Xiaomi drivers from the Xiaomi Unlock Tool.
The problem arose when I made a partial firmware upgrade through fastboot in order to install LOS 14.1 via TWRP. I could not geet into fastboot mode, the screen went completely black and no charging LED. Curiously my laptop (Win10) made a tiny nose everytime I pluged or unplugged it (the same one it does everytime you plug a new device) and saw that it recognised it as a 'Qualcomm HS-USB qloader 9008'. More curiously, Xiaomi Flash Tool (BTW, it was the beta version although I guess the latest version would have worked as well) recognised the device although everytime I tried to flash an official firmware I got a message error: 'cannot receive hello packet'.
Well, after some research I was scared because I didn't want to open the phone to unplug the battery or anything. But I read somewhere that someone had the same problem as me and that he tried Xiaomi Flash Tool until it worked.
That was it, that was the clue. Xiaomi Flash Tool ready, having initially recognised my mi5s, the phone connected to the laptop, I made the combination to get into fastboot (holding volume - & power button) until my laptop made a tiny nose (the same one I explained at the beginning). As soon as I heard it I left the phone and clicked on the flash button on Xiaomi Flash Tool. Yes, it worked out. I installed latest development chinese MIUI rom. From there, I got into fastboot, flashed a new recovery... Well that's another history, the fact is that the mi5s is working again and I must say I feel really relived.
If anyone encounters the same problem I had I hope this post is of any help to him/her.

Doogee x5 softly-bricked, not detected by pc

I'm new to this forum, just throwing that out, so if I don't specify something, please let me know.
So, I have a Doogee x5 (not my main phone, recently bought a new one, so this one is just for stuff) that I softly-bricked via the kingroot app, since I was trying out this app before using it on my main phone. Now, why would I do that? My main phone is doogee shoot 2 which has a very annoying bloatware that opens the browser randomly. I did a little bit of searching, and turns out it was a system app. So naturally, I searched how to get rid of it, and saw that there was only a single answer: rooting the device. Now, I'm not an expert with this, so I searched for basic and simple solutions. I decided to try the method on my side-phone first, and thank god I did that.
Now, the Doogee X5 is stuck in a boot-loop, it does boot in recovery mode, it won't update or flash new ROMs (via "install updates from SD card") since for some reason, the installation is always aborted, and I don't know what to do next....
Would be glad for any help!
Thanks in advance, Raph/

Nobody is aware of any solution?
Have you tried flashing Official ROM via SP FLASH TOOL
perhaps that should be successful
That requires (if you already know this then skip it):
- doogee X5 preloader drivers (and by that I mean MediaTek MT6580 preloader drivers, or something like MediaTek MT65xx preloader drivers)
- SP Flash tool
- PC with Windows, and USB cable to connect it
- Official Doogee X5 ROM
And also, you should have some instructions how to connect it when flashing. On my doogee device (not X5) was something like, Click download in SP Flash Tool + Power + Volume Up + connect it to pc

I've tried it, but the phone isn't detected by the PC, and I'm pretty sure I installed the preloader driver correctly...

This happened to me once (same device) , try flashing a stock rom in SPFLASHTOOL (that you're sure that works) while pressing volume up button (usually it takes more than 15 secs of pressing for device to get detected), don't stop pressing it, then it will enter to META mode, a MTK brick-fixing mode integrated in DOOGEE X5, just while you press that volume up button, device should come to life for long enough to flash a stock working rom to it, don't stop pressing while rom is fully flashed
sorry bad english
hope it helps

How can a broken port ( or do u say all ports?) recognize the phone with 9008, but is unable to flash?
They apparently work, but the copy of the files don't finish 100% in qfil app, I had Sahara error, but when I tried in the computer of my cousin, everything worked ok and I could make the installation of the stock room by qfil normally.

Huawei P10 Hard Brick

Hello,
So I happen to somehow hard brick my huawei p10 via HiSuite while downgrading from EMUI 9.1.0.262 to 9.0.1.180 and to 8.0.0 (dont know which version). After phone finished downgrading to 8.0 its suddenly turned off and it wont turn back again. When I plug it to the charger the phone gets warm, while on computer (connected via usb) its recognized as fastboot device. I tried shorting testpoint but I couldnt get SERAIL recognition.
Please help me, I wanna save this bease I know it still has potential.. Huawei is so damn dumb when it comes to software support and firmware updates via PC unlike Xiaomi, Samsung whom have Odin and MiFlash.
its sad, big minus for huawei

Tip for getting the testpoints to work:
* Disconnect the battery. You'll have to remove the plate over the battery connector.
* Plug in your USB cable to the phone - leave it disconnected from the computer.
* Short the testpoint.
* Plug the cable into the computer while keeping the testpoint shorted.
It should now come up in serial mode. You can, at your own risk, reconnect the battery now - I've never had a problem doing this, but the socket is now live so...

On Windows, you'll have to dig up some very specific drivers for the port.
On Linux, you need to make sure things like ModemManager aren't installed, as Linux directly recognizes the serial port exposed by the device, and if you have a package installed that tries autodetecting modems, it screws with the serial mode of the device - it's not terribly tolerant of protocol data that it doesn't understand.

Now I'm getting this in device manager (see picture)
So I've got this how in the heck do I get it working again? Is there any software that allows me to get it running? Plz don't recommend DC phoenix I've paid them and I didn't have so much luck with them..

From there, you need to load the IDT mode fastboot, and then in theory you can reflash everything else.
Check elsewhere, I've seen a package floating around for restoring from a brick situation here. Otherwise, your choices are pretty much DC Phoenix or to go tracking down internal Huawei tools, as those are the only other pieces of software I know of for flashing the device back from such a brick situation.

Could you please post the necessary FW for P10 VTR-L29 9.0.1.185(C432E1R1P9)?
As I understand it would be the firmware with XML so i can use the Image download tool to flash it?

bricked X Performance

Hi Guys,
I got given a bricked X Performance (dalvik and internal archive have been deleted) and the only feedback from the phone is when I press On+VolUp, after 3 vibrations the phone boots but it freezes on the white start SONY screen. I tried different combination of starting buttons but that's the only reaction I get back from the phone.
Sony xperia companion from the PC is not detecting any device.
I was wondering if I can try to connect using any software (which one?) trying to fastboot or enter flashmode and maybe fix somehow, can you suggest me where/which software and drivers to install in my PC?
Also, I red on the net that an extreme fix could be a hardbrick reset using testpoints, but again, I couldn't find any info in internet where are the contacts inside the phone to be used as testpoints, any clue/suggestion please?
Thanks a lot
Giulia
See if you can connect to Flash tool and reset/reinstall it: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/
