sahara protocol fail in QFIL

so i havent had any luck posting in other thread and since so many people are asking about this error i thought having its own thread may get some help. I bricked my letv x800 when the rooted phone failed to install a custom rom, stop half way through with corrupted file msg then went dead. I used w w w droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/ and followed the steps there but for the life i me i cannot get past this step of dl using qfil. I am hoping someone on the boards can give me some idea i spent a week trying to find a way to get past this step and all i find is others stuck on same step with no solution.
Here is the log file of the process. Using Win 7 pro. I got the latest drivers for qfil installed and it finds the phone and asigns the port ok. I just cant download the protocol

I had the same issue when i first bricked my x800 and the problem was that the bootloader was locked somehow. I unlocked then everything went smooth. I don't know if this is the issue here with you.

how do i unlock the bootloader?

from what i can find to unlock bootloaded you need to install stuff onto the phone, atm i cant do that.

You do it trough adb and fastboot. You don't have to install anything onto the phone. Just put the phone in fastboot mode, then connect to adb and write : fastboot oem unlock

i did it ! yeah
install the drivers that come with that program
go to the folder that has the rom, click on its properties- permissions and select full acess
while with qfil open, hold the volume down on the smarthphone and connect it to the pc.only release the volume- when you hear 3 windows sounds(one sound when you connect and two after 15 seconds) . start download and then you are set.
after this process your phone will be alive, but will have only 10gb so you have to follow the process in page 3 of topic "hard brick fix"
hope it helps
have a good day

Same problem with Leeco x820

Hi guys, I've got the same problem when I try to unbrick my Motorola moto e4, help me please!

[GUIDE] Unbrick X82x Le Max 2, Factory Restore, Reset, Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

Hi all,
After reading on letv.re that some people managed to brick their devices and were looking for a fix, I started to check more and more about the issue. What happened to some was that the phone would switch itself off and enter into Qualcomm Recovery Mode and would be seen when connected to a computer as “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008”. For others, by flashing wrong files the phone would end up in the same state. Luckily a fix had been found, and it was shared by ParasiTe_RemiX.
DISCLAIMER
Given that maybe nothing will happen to your warranty and this is an unbricking tool, there are small chances that your device might get bricked for good, and I feel the need to say that I am not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions. Any modification that you do to your phone you're doing at your OWN RISK.
Keep in mind that if your phone goes by itself in the QDLoader mode, it’s better to try some combinations below before flashing it using this method:
1) Keep the power button pressed for about 2 minutes, or
2) Keep the power button + Vol up pressed for about 2 minutes, or
3) Keep the power button while connecting the phone to a wall charger, or
4) Bring the phone into a bright light and press the power button (or power button + Vol up) for about 2 minutes, or
5) Keep the phone charging for more than 24 hours and repeat all the steps above.
If nothing works and you are willing to fix it and you’ll give up all your files, then this fix is for you. Or if you have flashed some wrong files and there is no Fastboot, nor Recovery, this is to be followed. Or if you want to reset your phone to a “factory state”, this is the way to go, and by that I mean if you want to check that your fingerprint sensor is working, or you have some other issues, it’s good to revert it this way.
What you will need:
a) A Windows computer
b) FlashOne program - the flashing program for the software
c) QFIL files for X820 (looks like some dev software dating April,2016)
IMPORTANT – YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR FILES ON THE PHONE, PHOTOS, MUSIC, APP DATA, INTERNAL STORAGE WILL BE WIPED.
So if your phone is in this Qualcomm Recovery mode, you can just connect it to the computer, and jump to step 3, if not, and you simply want to flash it, start from step 1.
1) To enter Qualcomm Recovery mode, first turn off the phone and go to step 2
2) Keep pressed Vol Up (+) and Vol Down (-) together and connect the phone by USB cable to the computer.
3) You will see that the computer will install drivers for "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
4) Unzip FlashOne and start "main.exe". Once you've opened the flashtool you'll see "Flash Type". Here select "Qualcomm - flash dead phone".
5) Select your phone - "COM ..." from "Select device" - here should be the same COM ... as it shown in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT) > "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM ...)"
6) Select File "LeMax2QFIL.zip" from the folder where it is saved
7) Press "Flash" in the lower part of the window
8) Once completed, disconnect the phone and power it up
9) Go to Settings – Storage format the internal storage.
To exit the Qualcomm Recovery mode, keep the Power Button pressed for about 1 minute or until the phone will vibrate and restart into system.
That's it. More info you will find in FlashOne program, actually it's almost like I've described it here.
You will be reverted to a "dev" version of the phone, somewhere with April build date. Keep in mind that it's EUI 5.6 and the kernel is different than EUI 5.8. Update it to latest EUI with stock recovery and then install the custom recovery of your choice.
Most of the guys install a recovery for 5.6 on EUI 5.8 or vice versa and then they get the blue LED. That's why you should read the instructions for each recovery and make sure you know which one you're flashing.

Thanks
Hi
First of all I want to thank you for posting this solution. Yesterday I managed to solve it too but it took me a while to find all this info.
Now I have ran into annother problem, I am not able to flash any rom from the stock recovery, it says "file corrupted" every time.
Any solution to this?

Honestly, I did this restoration of the phone about a month ago. I encountered some issues with the stock recovery but I can't remember what I did to fix it. I think I installed 017s at that time, directly from the dev software. Restarting the phone to recovery I think didn't work. I believe you should turn it off and then start it to recovery directly. I remember I wanted to download 015s, 016s, and even I gave up and wanted to install TWRP for 5.6 EUI but the stock recovery at some point worked. Try to turn off the phone (not restart) and then switch on in recovery. And check erase data as well.

Hello, I'm on Windows 7, I enter #3 point above but I can see only QUSB_BULK device under devices manager but Windows 7 does not have any drivers for it. I tried to dwonload some but withous success. Has anybody runover rhis instruction? Uder which Windows version?
OK. Under Windows 10 it works means it installs the phone as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and its visible in FlashOne program.
Great appreciation to valy_cta!

I don't think that you can flash a X910 with X820 files, although I never tried and never heard someone to do so, the results might not be too good.
That error was due to the fact that he was not pressing the buttons properly before connecting to computer. Keep Vol up and Vol down and connect the phone. It should be switched off before.
Good luck!

Thanks very much
How would I switch off a hard bricked device? Every time I connect the device, the device manager shows that it's been connected "Qualcomm ------ 90008" so how would I turn it off , especially if the battery is embedded?

Can you press the power button for at least 1 minute?
If you have it connected and it shows in computer as Qualcomm... 9008, it's ok. Maybe the files are detected as not being for your phone.
If you suddenly found the phone in such way and you didn't flash something that broke it, try to restart it as shown in the op. If not, try to discharge the battery fully that to flash something that it doesn't belong.

[Hard Brick] Nexus 6P 7.1.2 Beta 2 [Solved]

Hey guys I just installed the full image of 7.1.2 beta 2 over top of beta 1 using Flashfire without the bootloader and modem selected and all went fine until I decided to use Flashfire to upgrade the bootloader and modem forgetting that we must use Fastboot as I am new to Flashfire and I was reading all through the beta thread before I did it and didn't understand we still must use Fastboot so anyways I am stuck in a hard brick now with the phone not powering on at all and can't do anything to restore it as my Windows 10 now detects the phone as unknown device (device descriptor request failed) is there anything I can do at this point as I just bought this phone used.
The error that I got in Flashfire was that the device storage is full when updating the bootloader as the modem went fine.

@rmorris003
You said the phone won't even power on. You mean no Google? Hold the power button down for a couple of minutes and see if it will reboot. If not put it on a charger, and after fully charging try the long press power button again. If you can get it to start, try to put it in fastboot mode. (ie. power+vol dn). If you can get to bootloader you can send fastboot commands and fix it. If you can get to this point, there are instructions here.

Hello... Well if your device is recognized as unknown, you could try to give this a shot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/howtos-debrick-nexus-6p-stuck-edl-9008-t3552838
Try to install Qualcomm driver first check the device manager. If you see your phone recognized as:
HS-USB QDLOADER 9008
You may be lucky!
Good luck...

You disabled driver signature and rebooted your computer? Then installed Qualcomm drivers from the thread I linked you to? I think you have to reboot your computer once more...
Good luck...

I held the power and vol down and now it shows up under com ports so this is a good sign.

Ok got bootloader back and now put twrp on, I had to use qfil with nexus6p_fix_bricked but it got stuck at writing system.img but atleast the phone is on now.
Flashed the 7.1.2 beta 2 full image using the fastboot method included and all is back to normal.
Thanks so much for the help.

Wow glad it worked for you... You might push the thanks button in the OP of the thread where you found the debrick tools and thanks @tenfar since he offered the solution. He already saved a few N6P devices. I only linked you to his thread which you could have found yourself anyway...

Wow glad it worked for you... You might push the thanks button in the OP of the thread where you found the debrick tools and thanks @tenfar since he offered the solution. He already saved a few N6P devices. I only linked you to his thread which you could have found yourself anyway...

I'm pretty sure I was reading it before but I had to do some extensive reading on how to get the driver to read properly. I work night shift so I was kinda tired yesterday.

Hi there, I'm extremely new to Forums and the whole android scene please could you help?
I have the same issue with my Nexus 6P Hard bricked, only detected as a 9008 Port, no vibrations no power nothing!
I've tried to follow so many guides for the past three days however I've managed nothing. I've tried to do as you mentioned in the first posts, used the nexus6p_unbrick in Qfil but Sahara download fails.
Please Please Help, No Warranty just a Brick!

Hey,
Google qpst 2.7.453
It's easy to find. Scan the files on virustotal.com though.
Maybe the older versions are incompatible...
Good luck...

Oops, you bricked your device. You cannot flash another region if that was your intention... You can either go to customer support or try to make a USB flash cable to force the files onto your device (pls use original firmware for your device). I know that this was mentioned in the forum before but I cannot remember where exactly and I don't know if it is actually working. If it fails, your device is pretty much ******...

Hi there. I'm a new user so i don't have enought privileges to make a tread about my issues. So i will try to be the most clear possible.
I got a Nokia 6 TA-1039 so i tryed to root it and that's why I'm here.
First of all the phone is now on Qualcomm HS-USB Qloader singed on 04/01/2013 and it's 2.1.0.5 version, by Xiaomi Technology Inc., then when i connect to the PC it recognizes it in that port. In the other hand, the device doesn't make any noise or dispolay anything on the screen, but in the pc it appears when i connect it.
I have downloaded following the treads the firmware Nokia_TA-1025_MSM8937_25082017_7.1.1.zip and extracted it. I was trying to use it with QFIL version 2.0.0.5 and using as configuration the next steps:
-Download protocol: 0-Sahara
-Device type: UFS
Validation mode: 0-No validation
[
then when i run it i found the next errors:
Error function: Sahara _rx_data: 194 unable to read packet header Only read 0 bytes
Error function: Sahara_main: 854 sahara protocol error
Error function: Sahara_main: 265 Uploading image using sahara protocol failed
Download fail: Sahara fail: QSaharaServer fail: Process fail
Then i tryed to flash it using Xiaomi MiFlash.exe and the errors are:
Cant found programmer file
Cannot recive Hello packet
cannot read hello packet
adittional to this I have a cable that i think that it's a EDL cable by GPGIndustries like this
http://shop.gpgindustries.com/produc...ml?pb=108&pc=2
I'm very desesperated about this. If someone can call me or help me in any way i really appreciate it.

Hardbricked to Qualcomm USB 9008

Really hoping someone can help me out here. I have a Nexus 6P, Non-BLOD. Yesterday, after clean flashing the latest version of EvoX, while setting some things up, device randomly crashed. No Shut down animation or anything. Just black screen. Tried turning it on via Power Button and then Power And Volume Buttons but nothing works. Connected it to PC and see it's Detected as Qualcomm USB Bulk (9008) in Coms and Ports. Did some research and found out I have to flash via QFIL. And this is where I am stuck. I tried several versions, but it doesn't flash/gives Shara error. I tried reinstalling driver. I also read a guide here. But the Firmware link is dead and it says to flash via MiFlash, something I can't even try since the Link in the OP is dead. I tried some different versions of QFIL but all of them give a Sahara Communication error. Now I'm pretty much at a loss on what to do. I'd really like to fix my 6P. And I would appreciate anyone taking the time to point me in the right direction, or help me fix it. Thanks in Advance.

Same thing happened to me in the same ROM (Weird) .. but i managed to flash the qfil successfully .. but still phone doesnt boot up .. here's what you should do ... try to hard reset the phone until you hear the disconnecting sound from pc . Ready all the necessary flash in the qfil and as soon as u hear the device connected hit the download button .. it will flash without the sahara protocol error . Be quick ! tell me if that fixed ur problem . Peace

Thanks. Can you share the files you used please? I can't for the life of me, find the correct download files. There was a Nexus6P_Unbrick by TenFar but all the links are down.

I used another qfil firmware
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PixuumVVzxBKUsQ88X3AJ21Hsi2mV3Zq/view
Here is the link .. you can find the firehose and all files in the firmare folder . Best of Luck

I have a similar situation where I am unable to power on the phone in any way, and I am only able to communicate with the qualcom USB 9008 driver.
I am following your instructions using the firmware files you provided (thank you!) and I can see an attempt is being made to download the files before sahara error occurs.
I don't think I enabled developer options when my Nexus 6P was working and wondered if sahara error is due to that.
I was wondering if you had previously enabled developer options by tapping on the build number several times, once the operating system booted and if that is a critical step in being able to recover the Nexus 6p from this hard bricked state where I am stuck in EDL 9008 mode, and unable to access bootloader, and volume+power keys do not do anything...I feel like I'm screwed (and already moved on) but using time these days to learn about android devices!
thanks!
