Zenfone max (Z010D).Flashed wrong rom. Device bricked. Not even starting - Asus Zenfone Max Questions & Answers

So, I side loaded build no. 13.8.26.76 to my phone, not knowing that it was meant only for the snapdragon 410 counterpart (mine is 615 one). It installed successfully until I rebooted and phone stayed dead. I think I hard bricked it
No logo, no charging, can't enter recovery or fastboot. No nothing... Connected device to PC, and windows doesn't recognize it.
Please help me....

Hello, I had a very little progress. I gave up about my asus zenfone max a year ago but glad that now looks like there's a hope in reviving my phone. I was able to download the right files to flash with QFIL. Most people here say that their PC detected QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 but mine detect it as QUALCOMM HS-USB DIAGNOSTICS 9006. Due to excitement, I flashed it anyway and it created some memory partition on my hard drive whenever I plug the phone but QFIL gave me an error of :
** Download Fail: Switch To EDL Fail Failed to switch to Emergency Download Mode
I tried to google this error, some encountered it and was able to get a resolution by just removing the battery before plugging it in but our zenfone is with non removable battery. I have no luck yet. Anyone got suggestions ?

Check my post for detailed instructions. And yes, I did face that issue and fixed it by reinserting the battery. It's a bit risky, but worth a try. Try watching some YouTube teardown videos

If you're having trouble with QFIL, best thing to do is uninstall Qualcomm drivers, reboot, reinstall, try again. Repeat until you can flash without problem.
I had to uninstall many times. Don't lose hope. It takes a lot of effort

hey Sree. I noticed that it is being detected as Qualcomm HS-USB diagnostics 9006. So what I did is I forced driver to install Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I'm now having a Sahara error. I'll try reinstalling drivers but I have a quastion. Does QFIL version matter ?

I don't know. I used the latest one. Try the version linked in my original post. Also, of you're getting sahara fail, it's ok. You're on right track. Uninstall driver, reboot and reinstall. It'll take hell a lot of tries, but will work eventually

How reestablished bootloader
nobody knows how to help me?
It appears that you have a corrupt boot loader and unfortunately we do not have any of the files available to us that would be needed to fix your phone.
They would be the proprietary binaries and low level boot images from Qualcomm for flashing to a new board at the factory.
We have such repair kits for some earlier OMAP based devices but I have not heard of or seen any such files for the Qualcomm S4 devices, sorry.
If you wish to make a clean install without bothering about backup and so and so then I can guide you through that.

Good evening,
I bricked the Innos D9 because I installed 2 new roms .........
I first stalled the DNS and it was a very nice rom but I was not 100% happy ...........than I installed the Cloudfone rom and this was very bad..........than I wanted to go back to the DNS rom and I got the same problem as yours.
I searched for a solution and I found a video on YouTube ..." Restore Acronis Backup on CloudFone Thrill 430X (Innos D9) " and after this experiment my Innos D9 is totally dead.....it isn't recognized by the computer ....not even by clicking or holding any button ..........when I connect the USB to my laptop I can only hear the sound that something has been connected to the laptop ........but nothing is visible.
any help to unbrick my phone?
One thing you could try is sending a message over to Josh at mobiletechvideos.com and see if he can help. It looks like they offer JTAG repairs for hard bricks(link).
Note: I don't work for mobiletechvideos or anything. I just had my Samsung Focus power button repaired by them a couple weeks ago and they did a pretty nice job.
I've got same problem with Asus Padfone A66.
I installed the qualcomm drivers, and QPST program is see my phone, but i have no idea howto use this program, or howto convert image files to (proper) .hex format, or howto build needed files. My cpu is MSM8260 and QPST see my phone as Q/QCP-XX (Download). And maybe I need for a proper MPRG8260.hex and aml, mbm files for flashing. so QPST sjust throwing error, ahnd happen nothing.

[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!

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...

That is the offline charging bug caused by the hardware's reverse charging feature. No solution to date so be careful to not let the battery go below 20% without charging.
Reboot into Fastboot / CSC mode ( vol up + power) and plug the charger. Let it charge for 10-15 mins then reboot.

Where do you get the right files? Could you post them?
Hi guys, I'm in really trouble.
I've got an Asus z010d and I think is hardbricked.
Screen is totally black, no vibrations, no recovery mode, nothing.
The only thing that I've done is to see it via QFIL like the image attached.
I've read some guides around the internet, for restore the device via QFIL with a stock rom, but I not able to get a single rom that has rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml files that the program need...
I state that I am not a big expert.
Iif anyone knows how to help me, I can also pay him for the right assistance.
Thanks in advance.

Due to excitement, I flashed it anyway and it created some memory partition on my hard drive whenever I plug the phone but QFIL gave me an error of :
** Download Fail: Switch To EDL Fail Failed to switch to Emergency Download Mode
I tried to google this error, some encountered it and was able to get a resolution by just removing the battery before plugging it in but our zenfone is with non removable battery. I have no luck yet. Anyone got suggestions ?

Force EDL MODE 9008 On Essential PH-1

Hi,
Does anyone know how to force EDL 9008 mode on the essential ph-1. Through fastboot the command reboot-edl does not put it into edl. Also attaching D+ and Gnd during power on of the USB cable also does not work. Was hoping someone knows the secret to forcing the phone into this mode.
Thanks

As I said in my post, I tried fastboot reboot-edl commands and it just reboots into normal mode. I also built the special usb type C cable that has a switch to gnd D+ on bootup to try and force the mode. I was looking for alternatives.
Thanks

I have since tried to do
reboot-emergency
reboot-recovery
reboot-EDL
All these commands simple make the phone reset like normal. There has to be a way to force emergency download mode on this essential phone.
Hello
As I said in your previous publication, follow these steps:
Before you connect the phone to the cable, enter fastboot mode
Plug the phone into the cable Connect the black and green wire with some and do not separate them
In the phone scroll to the reboot bootloader and press the power button
The phone will turn off and switch to EDL mode
Then connect the phone to the normal cable means without shorts
If the phone is running in bootloader mode, try again
I hope you succeed in the process
I also will not give up and will try to fix the phone in eBay mode

Your phone must be different. I can do the exact same thing and my phone never goes to edl, it goes back to powered by android.
In edl mode
OK, I put my ph-1 essential in EDL mode by shorting the black and green wire just like in the youtube; Device Manager shows "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9003 (COM3)" under "Ports (COM & LPT)"
Am I really in EDL mode and if the answer is yes - now what I do?
why do you want to do in the 9008 mode? do you mean you can flash rome rom in 9008 mode?

Yes, the phone is softbricked in bootloop and unless there is a way to force flashing in fastboot this seems like the way to go.
I Successfully entered edl. Thanks.
What do I do next?

The only way to flash anything in 9008 mode is to have the PH-1 programmer files, which have not been released or leaked.
If your phone is under warranty, Essential might help you (they seem to be helping people who got bricked while updating Q beta).
help me!!!

Funny enough, there's an EDL target in adb
adb reboot edl
Some advice, please?

Any chance you could provide me with some sort of instructions or direction? I've tried several different versions of QPST to no avail now. On the advice of a redditor, I was directed to try the CLI version of emmcdl but I can't even find a windows compatible build of this.
I have nothing against exploring/reading/learning but it sucks not being able to even start. I'd love to know if I'm even just on the right track.
Further Advise Needed!

My Essential Phone is a hard brick now with no response at all (no logo, no light..). And when I connect it with my computer, it is recognized as 9008 immediately, I downloaded your file and fill them in the QFIL, but every time I click the "Download" button, the sound of USB devices unplugged appears, and it fails all the time with an information that goes
ERROR: function: rx_data:247 Error occurred while reading from COM port
ERROR: function: sahara_main:983 Sahara protocol error
ERROR: function: main:320 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed
Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail
I have no idea why these arise, since I am confident the driver was installed correctly. I even suspect that is it even the real 9008 mode? I'd appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to flash this ROM, tks!
