Need help figuring out how to get the right firmware type (.mbn. .hex, .elf, firehose) for samsung galaxy s3 mini G730V - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a hard bricked (i tried to flash it once because it was stuck in bootloop and i did it wrong) galaxy s 3 mini that shows up as a Qualcomm HS USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5) when i plug it into my computer, after some looking around i figured out this meant i could do emergency download mode on it through the Qualcomm product support tool (technically the QFIL portion). The issue is the firmware i get isnt in the format the program takes and im not sure how im supposed to do it because of this. It wants me to do things concerning firehose programmer, .elf, .mbn, and .hex but the firmware file i have is MD5. If theres somewhere in specific im meant to get the stock firmware from so its the correct format please let me know, i originally got mine from sfirmware.

Hello guys.
So many sorry about my English.
I tried everything.

On my hands LG L90 D415, stuck on Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
It was rooted with CWM.
Mistakenly was installed wrong firmware (probably from D410)
Now phone with black screen and only responds in device manager like Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008(no recovery, no download mode).
LG Flash tools do not responds.
All drivers ok.
B2bSupport do not helps.
Options on B2bSupport: - Shipset W7 G2MDS, -port like in device manager, -target DIR C:\, -test AP and EMMC
AP check finished with "no response from the device. Check PMIC first and if still boot problem, replace AP" and "Failed to conect to the flash programer".
And i dont know what to do next. If someone has file "loader D415.img" and *.tot files, i will be very grateful.
Please help me!

Hi guys,
I have the same problem, the phone's chowing Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in device manager. Please help on how to repair boot
Maybe this helps
Well, I see nothing as of yet. I have been through almost all situations with this phone. I have had this happen to my phone before. Only problem, I don't remember exact fix. I will recommend this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830 It is for the G2, but I've used several of their threads for my phone. Read post first, but its the best solution I can offer. The only other thing you could try is searching and learning about Qualcomm's QPST program. Hope this helps.... Good luck

WF Swift is hardbricked. Help me unbrick please!!!

Hey guys
Please may your help me. I recently bought a Wileyfox Swift and decided to install CyanogenMod 12.1 for my phone. I installed CM12.1 successfully and used it for a week. 2 days ago I tried to restore stock by fastbooting the ROM found on NeedROM. After it installed my Swift just turned off and couldn't turn back on. My PC sees it as Relink HS-USB QDLoader 9008. May someone please provide me with a way to unbrick this device?
Thanks

Or google "Unbrick All Qualcomm Snapdragon’s from Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (if you have the right kind of rom)"
And use that method.

Hi @FindYanot , are you able to upload WileyfoxTool1.0 exe on your website and also MEGA? I can't register at 4pda.ru as I always fail the CAPTCHA, even when I use the Russian Keyboard Viewer on Mac.
I have obtained the Android One (General Mobile 4G LUZ17E Retail build) prog_emmc_firehose_8916.mbn , emmc_appsboot.mbn , patch0.xml , rawprogram_upgrade.xml , system.img , NON-HLOS.bin etc. files from Longcheer but I can't get into Emergency Download Mode from my hardbricked Swift, even when pressing Volume Up or Volume Down + Power when inserting USB cable. 'fastboot devices' doesn't list the phone when connected via USB cable, and QFIL 2.0.0.3 within QPST 2.7.429 Qualcomm 9008 2.1.0.5 on Windows 10 x86 gives me a Sahara error and RELINK / Woowellstrong Electronic co., ltd 9008 2.0.0.0 on Windows 8.1 x64 gives me an EDL error.

Need help unbricking G2 D295F Lite

LG G2 Lite D295F
CHIPSET: MSM8812
I tried using BoardDiag and the phone passed all 3 tests. Then someone told me it didnt work for my chipset.
I tried to use a Loader.img to go to download mode. However it didnt work for me. My phone show 0% battery and do not start from SD at all. I'm afraid i used the wrong .img but i can't find the right one. The one I tried was from 4Pda LG L Fino page.
The brick was caused by a bad ROM installation. It shows as QLoader 9008, no partitions detected (still it passes the eMMC test from BoardDiag. ) When the bootable SD card is inside it. it shows as LGE Androidnet.
I would really appreciate any help with this problem. I don't think the phone has any hardware problem, because a friend of mine installed the same ROM and is with the same problem..
Help me!

I have a LG G2 Lite D295F and it only stays in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 (COM4).
I was able to flash him through QFIL successfully, but he does not care the same way.
In BoardDiag the same thing, he can flash in the rom, passes all tests (AP, EMMC, SDRAM) but does not turn on. Sometimes it comes back as QS-USB BULK, but it does not get even 20 seconds and it goes back to HS-USB QDLOADER 9008.
If I write the loader of it in img on an SD card, it appears that it is loading but not for a second it already disconnects and stays in it the whole time. Sometimes it mounts as removable (Qualcomm MMC Storage).
The battery is charged, but not the life signal. I can flash without the battery, however, without result.
can anybody help me?

Hard Bricked 4x

Hi,
I have a following problem with my Redmi 4X. I tried to flash new rom and reboot my phone on twrp. When the phone shut down nothing happens anymore just black screen. No fastboot or recovery mode. When I contact the phone to Windows pc it shows in device manager: Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (COM20). I have tried to flash new rom with QFIL and Miflash (tried to change the driver to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008).
With QFIL the error is: Download Fail: Switch to EDL FailFailed to switch to Emergency Download mode.
With Miflash the error is: Cannot receive hello packet. MiFlash is trying to reset status!
Any suggestions?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxrhJkSZc6E
Already tried that. Doesn't seem to change a thing.
Shouldn't it turn the driver to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" after test point method?
This is what shows in command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32>adb reboot edl
error: device '(null)' not found
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
List of devices attached
C:\Windows\system32>

After the test point method you will see a new "9008" device in the Device Manager.
Then all of the above commands will be completely irrelevant and useless.
In the 9008 mode use MiFlash, not QFIL/QPST, to reflash your phone.
Cheers!
The test points seems to change nothing. I think that after the " adb devices" command I should see my device listed but that is not the case and therefore impossible to flash rom. Somehow I should be able to change the "900E mode" to "9008 mode" without changing the driver manually and I think the test point method should do just that.
Here is video of what I have tried to do. If someone could point out what to do differently to get the flash work I would be very grateful.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aOkb3FCBzanMUW3WSdyuxyQO-33rdsBv
Windows 10 will not accept the 9008 driver because the driversignature ist not signed from Microsoft.
If you will unbrick it with Windows 10 64bit look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d8KEruHWPg
and here: https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-unsigned-drivers-windows10/

Is the Qualcomm 9008 driver now installed?
Did you start the mi-flash tool with administrator privileges?
I installed the Qualcomm drivers but device manager still shows 900E driver unless I manually change it to 9008.
edit:
I finally succeeded with test point method. Now flashing. Im so grateful to you ConradB.

Thank you buddy .. Your 4 years old post help me to turn on my hard brick redmi 4x.
I don't know the actual reason of hard brick but The situation was my phone was in condition like
1. Possible to go in fastboot mode
2. When turning on there is only mi logo for fraction of second.
I tried test point method as described . It turned on in one attempt..I just want to add something. I face some issues after test point flashing . So I just flash miui again . Then It's working perfectly fine. After Test point flash check your battery. Maybe fully drained. Just charge it and turn it on..
I am posting this just for Information..

Back to stocn

Hello everyone,
I recently stopped using my Nokia 8 in favor of my new iPhone 11. However, I wanted to keep it just so I have an emergency Android phone. I found an article that says that there is a possible way to update Nokia 8 via TWRP. Of course, I didn’t trust it, so I backed up my phone via TWRP. Here are the steps I took after back up:
- I deleted everything from the device including the OS, excluding SD
- I tried installing the image but it failed
- I then restored my backup
However, phone won’t boot even after I restored my backup. I followed these instructions (forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/how-to/guide-restore-nokia-to-stock-t3867646/) to flash the stock firmware, but the OST LA program keeps giving me 0xc3b9 something like tool func not ready. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!
- I have my bootloader unlocked, if anyone’s wondering.
EDIT: I have followed the steps with more care, and I managed to advance to the flashing process, but it gets a new error; 0xc6DA
EDIT 2: I realized I don't have critical unlocked. I can't access my unlock.key since download link expired long ago. Is there any way I can unlock the critical at this moment?

It's a good new if your computer recognize 9008 mode. Your phone's main is alive. Sahara failed because your phone is in EDL mode too long time. I don't know exactly how to fix it. The last hint: let take out your battery and insert again. Or Press and hold vol - + power 15-20s. Good luck

Update on the whole situation:
I managed to get to the download mode, and flash OREO NOVEMBER boot image on it. It successfully booted into Pie that I previously had installed. When I tried to follow the instructions given in the quoted post, I install November OTA successfully, but when I try to install December update, it says that I should use the 488K package. After I do that, it aborts the installation because there is no driver directory found. I think “Okay, November is fine” but when I try to reboot it goes into EDL. I again managed to flash the OREO boot image, and boot again into PIE (how is this possible?)
Also sidenote: WiFi doesn’t work. It didn’t work even after the first time I flashed Oreo boot. Can anyone perhaps provide me with a stock Pie boot image? Or does anyone know any other solution?
Back to stock - the aftermath
Hi all,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=4081895
(please read first and last post)
In short: I found some sketchy Android 10 update for Nokia 8, tried it out, did not work. Tried to restore my TWRP backup, did not work. Tried to bring back stock firmware via OST LA, did not work. I then flashed stock Oreo November 2018 boot image, and got into my Pie, but WiFi wasn't working. I then flashed pre-Magisk-rooted pre-TWRP-installed boot image, and WiFi works. However...
When my phone boots, it boots with Android logo instead of Nokia's
My phone is detected as Dual SIM, even tho it is not.
When I try to flash OTAs via TWRP, it doesn't work
I am looking for a solution on how to remove the Dual SIM problem and how to make my phone again boot with a classic Nokia logo. Any help? Thanks in advance!
