[Q] Hard brick - ZTE Kis 3 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. Recently I have made a very stupid mistake trying to load a custom ROM to my ZTE Kis 3, which resulted in a hard brick. The phone doesn't turn on, even into recovery mode, ani in Windows Device Manager is seen as "QHSUSB_BULK". Is there any way to unbrick it? I have the stock ROM, but I see no way to flash it into the phone... Can someone help?

Are you able boot into bootloader?

---

No, it doesn't boot any way.

---

If you have Linux installed on your computer this should work.

No, because the phone doesn't even go into fastboot mode... Nevermind, I got a new one, it was kinda cheap.

Maybe the Open C Upgrade Tool would have worked, too.

Hi xerxes931, QHSUSB_BULK suggests it is TPT mode, which is a mode ZTE uses to recover devices using a windows flasher, apologies for replying to an old post but it is still recoverable if you still own it.

Than you very much, it's a great clue. However, I can't find files or any instructions on unbricking this phone, all I find is for ZTE Blade or ZTE Open...
Edit: I found this program - is it it? Can I just simply plug in the phone, find a stock ZTE Kis 3 rom, select it's directory and click "start all"?

The upgrade tool doesn't recognize the phone, it's saying "searching devices, please wait"... I guess I have to do it on a PC with a COM port? If yes, what cable to use?
