Hi folks,
unfortunately I somehow bricked my ZTE Open. I flashed cwm (worked fine) but after flashing both system AND userdata via flash_image, the phone won't boot and what is much worse it won't boot into cwm anymore as it hangs there with just showing the logo and the cwm version. The menus are missing, it does not react buttons and does not show up in adb. FTM mode is also non-functional, holding volup gets you also into broken recovery.
For earlier ZTE devices like the ZTE Blade it seems to be possible to low level flash them in diagnostics mode. Diagnostics mode is working fine on the ZTE Open (it shows up with the diagnostics port on USB. Luckily I also have all the 20 partitions backed up, but I don't know how to flash them in this diagnostics mode. I tried putting the files into the root of the SD card and including sha1/256/512 plus md5sum files, but it was not impressed by that. Not sure if this only works in FTM mode, though.
Any help would be highly appreciated! I highly assume that the procedure is the same as for the ZTE Blade.
This may help. http://pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/
At least there is more going on for Firefox Open over there.
Thanks but as you might have noticed I posted several comments there already, but I thought XDA would be the right place for unbricking devices.

Sorry! Eyes tight shut!
Are there any updates on this one?
I have bricked Open too, I'm attaching the PCB picture, if it is any help to maybe find UART or JTAG pins?
Can someone be really nice and please dump the bootloader from working ZTE Open in send it to me?
I've found some guy, who maybe can help me write bootloder with JTAG.
I think this should work, but no promises: https://sites.google.com/site/zteopenfirmware/download-mode

Thanks for your time to help, but this does not work for me. I get an error, when I press flash button (printscreen under attachments).
I've tried to probe the pins with the multi-meter and found GND and V+ (picture under attachment)
Now it would be nice to have something like this -> http://www.grandideastudio.com/portfolio/jtagulator/

tpt files for the zte open
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rnj3rja7gd54s98/_twgXEkMFH/P752D04_DEV_EU_20131212_v1.2.7z
Thank you for the link. But what tool is supposed to be used to flash the files? And is there a way I can use my backup as well? In this case: how can I transform it to TPT files?
Update: I tried flashing it by following the instructions of the link posted by psywolf, but unfortunately I am getting the same error as aversario. I tried also flashing just recovery, but it seems like no single partition is flashed successfully.
So, I've ordered jtagulator and it showed the pins. Now I need jtag programmer, which one do you guys recommend?
And I am still looking for some great guy to share with me his bootloader of a functional zte open.

Well, I don't know the partition names by heart, but as I remember the bootloader is one of the small partitions (so definitely not system or boot or userdata or recovery).
The way to get that small partitions would be installing CWM recovery first -> http://pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/
then enter adb shell on computer
su # to get root privileges
then it should be something like explained here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3GOzUURSgM&feature=player_detailpage#t=153
And thank you very much for your time
If i figure out how to do that without CWM i'll upload it for you. Cannot install CWM because i need to be on stock recovery for development of update packages, sorry

OK, I get that. I'm sure there exists a way to do it without changing recovery also. I just can't figure it out because that's the only Firefox OS phone I've had.
try to reinstall
Hi, I bricked my ZTE Open (EU version) too. Had bought it from a German Ebay seller and tried to flash FirefoxOS 2.0 on my device. I don't have the CWM recovery installed, only the "Firefox OS System Recovery" Big mistake, I know . When I switch on the device, the Firefox OS logo appears, then disappeas after a few seconds, and so on, the perfect bootloop
I can't access the device via ADB or fastboot.
When I ty to install any downloaded zip (even from ZTE's homepage) from the SD card, I get following messages:
Code:
--Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
So there is no valid signature.
Can you help me please? Thank you!
Heinz
Found a solution by myself!:victory:
I downloaded the update.zip file from firefox.ztems.com (Update package of Android GB for OPEN device) and installed it.
After that I could flash the CWM recovery. It seems to work...
Hi guys, i really hope you can help me, i m so deseperate...
After OTA Update my CATERPILLAR S30 bricked into bootloop, i can access to the stock recovery (wipe data/factory not fix it) and bootloader show me ; "DC CHECK"
I read that it could be my bootloader (emmc) wich it's corrupted...
The chipset is a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8909, of course USB debugging is disabled and i can't find any stock rom, backup for this phone....
Please HELP ME...i work hight in the mountain and if i cant communicate it will become....quite dangerous for me...
If someone has a backup (EU AREA), a stock rom or any solution for me ill be gratefull

Hello there and thanks helping me...
I'm AnY-One but i can't log in with; i dont know why...
I dont know what is my software version i only can say to you that the last update i tried to install came about 10-12/01 (EU France) and i bought this phone the 24/12 and i already did a first update.
So my phone stuck in bootloop (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 recognized) when i tried to install the 2nd update 10-12/01 so...
I have all qualcomm developpers tools with qualcomm flash utility and i can access to stock recovery...perhaps just a boot.img should work...
Pleassse help guys...
"and...as you can read; SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH"
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------
an update.zip that i can flash from recovery should be welcome
---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------
Got it, i think software version (viewing in recovery mode) is LTE_D0201121.0_S30_0.017.01

You can access recovery?
Usually when you see "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" it is because the phone can't load the bootloader (bios), so I am a bit confused about the state of your phone.
You likely need more files than the OTA has.

That's a good question ; yes i can access to QDloader HS-USB 9008 with qualcomm drivers ; I CAN ONLY acces to
recovery holding VOL+ then plugin in USB. Phone off then : POWER + VOL+ doesnt boot recovery.
Wipe Data/factory seems to work, adb sideload; device is regognized in adb shell but most of commands answer are: "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" when i choose reboot in bootloader it's the boot screen with 'DC CHECK MODE' left corner..
Is there someone reading me who has the same phone?
Is there someone able to upload me .img (system, boot ...) that i can flash with QPST Tools? Stock Firmware? Nandroid Backup?
Is there someone who can guide me to repair that phone stuck in bootscreen? I think the problem come from my stupidity fogetting to unroot (Kingoroot apk replaced by SuperSU) before OTA update.
How extract my proper firmware
Hello
How extract the om from the device
Help Me
Same problem...
I have the same problem too... Please help
sharing my experience in a similar quest
Hello ! You probably must have resolved the issue by now. Like you, I too had a similar issue ( Reliance Jio Lyf Wind4 - Haier L51)
In my nooby quest for a solution have made some progress. The learning is:
One needs : Mprg8909.hex, 8909_msimage.mbn, rawprogram0.xml, patch0,xml to recover.
If you can get hold of a phone similar to yours, you can dump all the partitions. That can then be used to get the required information to make your unique rawprogram0.xml. The process of dumping becomes very easy if the phone is root and you are running an insecure boot. Using basing Linux commands like fdisk,gparted,proc you can get and idea of your partition details. The dd command will help you dump the partitions.
Yes the tools to use is from the QPST suite or look for the stand alone emmcdl.exe
As your phone is showing the QUSB 9008 mode you need to be able to switch the phone to Emergency Download Mode after which you can use MIflash or similar tool to flash the ROm from the dumped images. Thats where the rawprogram0.xml comes in. It details partition information required to revive the phone.
Havent succeeded yet, but am feeling encouraged. Probably need to resolve syntax errors creating the rawprogram0.xml and figure out if just this much is enough to switch the phone to EDL.
After lurking here for months, this is my first post, therefore I request indulgence in case I have inadvertently erred

Hi
I have a similar issue with a different phone (Reliance LYF LS 5014 - a.k.a. Haier HL-L51) Service centres will claim that the motherboard needs to be changed (and charge you an arm and a leg ;p) Even if you get the firmware image it wont help. Thats becuase if you are bricked and in the QLoader 9008 , you first have to get the phone in EDL (emergency download mode) only then can you use MI Flash et al to flash your ROM.
The route I am taking is as follows: got hold of a similar phone and dumped all the partitions using the dd command. Then getting hold of all partition information using gdisk/parted/df et al This is so that I can create a partition.xml. From this I could run a Python script ( PartitionTool.py) to get rawprogram0.xml, patch0.xml. Using emmcldl and partiton.xml I can create the 8909_msimage.mbn . Hopefully, armed with these and QPST /Miflash I should be able to revive my phone. I have read that one needs the mprg8909.hex to kick the phone into EDL but am not convinced that without it I will remain stuck. That file seems to be guarded like a state secret by phone manufacturers.
ALl this I have learnt the hard way over almost a fortnight. I confess that I do fall into the "noob" category and cant program/develop to save my life. Therefore it should be easy for anyone with the right amount of enthu

on continuing my quest for a solution
Havent given up yet.
Discovered two really useful utilities: emmcdl and fh_loader both work from the DOS command prompt and are useful to download images and partitions to the phone.
Managed to create a rawpartition0.xml which I think is for my phone ( LYF Wind 4 a.k.a Haier HL L51 and LS5014) For this I used a similar phone and after rooting it managed to extract start sector and size in kilobytes info for each of the partitions.
Also used EFS Professional to get a backup of emcc firmware.
Have successfully downloaded all the partitions but am failing at the bootloader (emmc firmware) part. Continuing my quest for a solution and will share whatever I figure.

1. Why can't you go to the Rjio service center and get it flashed? Just tell them it got screwed after an update.
2. How did you manage to root the phone? Mine is Flame1 which has same MSM8909 chipset.
I am very not happy with the stock ROM but I don't think anyone has come up with a custom ROM for this cheap chipset.
I have bricked my CAT S30 too. Is there someone who have a solution? Or can somehow make a ROM copy so I can somehow flash it to the phone? I made a lot of searching and can not figure out how to make the phone work again.
hello I need firmware for S30 because I lightened too much after the root and I deleted something I should not, is now locked in the home screen CAT, but I can get into fastboot and bootloader.
thank you guys
file for CAT S30
Hello
I purchased another CAT S30 which has just lit downloaded a system update and I extracted from the cache, now the load so you can work on it.
if you need other things tell me how can I copy them from working phone.
my I crashed after I canceled the DownloadProviderUi.apk files and perhaps I put not compatible. now I can only access the fastboot or DC CHECK mode.
I tried to flash the .zip program but by mistake, I tried to flash the update and installs it by error although it says it has been installed, and still does not start, remains in the white screen CAT

Hi.. i have a CAT S30 stuck in logo, how i can use your file? thanks
Hi got this same phone only two weeks ago, and broke it trying to root it, got stuck on Bootscreen, however I found an unofficial rom for the device, loaded into an SD card and applied via recovery and boom, its a working phone again.
If you still need help, let me know so I send you a link to the ROM.
Hey guys,
I have searched all over internet but could not find a complete guide for unbricking my phone type, so I came here asking experts about this
My Phone is OPPO Mirror 5 (MSM8916)+16GB, and I want to be sure that i can unbrick my phone if needed. Since I don't have a factory rom for my phone, I think the only way to unbrick it, is to have a raw copy from my eMMC to restore my phone health, am I right? And to apply this scenario I need to make my phone to enter "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9006" mode using 8916_msimage.mbn, MPRG8916.mbn, rawprogram0.xml, and patch0.xml.
1- Can I use "8916_msimage.mbn, MPRG8916.mbn, rawprogram0.xml, and patch0.xml" from other MSM8916 + 16GB phones? Or are these files phone specific?
2- Can I generate or extract "8916_msimage.mbn, MPRG8916.mbn, rawprogram0.xml, and patch0.xml" from my phone using some tool? Or not?
Thanks in advance...
Any help will be appreciated.

Nothing new good news??
First of all, sorry for my bad english. My problem started when i deleted accidentally one partition of the tablet, trying to make an working twrp for it. Now I have no adb commands, no recovery, no fastboot,no logo,no display light. Nothing works. Just an expensive brick. PC only see something like "diagnosis 900E, instead of USB QDLoader 9008,so QFIL can do nothing to fix.I have changed driver,now can be seen QDLoader but QFIL gave me errors. I just bought another tablet, same model, for my son. I will try to pull out system, recovery, boot etc. But after that...? Any chance to make an bootable microSD card with those files? Any advice please?

So use ZTE tool studio emmc tool to unbrick your android.
Follow guide of Androidbrick.com.
The tool posted on these site is actually a ZTE tool studio tool by name of Androidbrick tool.
Just Google and download it from torforum.org

These tool unbrick your android when no fastboot, no recovery, not booting by anyways. Just detects in 9008 port. I am sure it's better than Qfil.
That`s the problem with port detection
How does this happened ?
Hello Costi979,
Sorry for your tablet, I hope you will find a solution

Sorry if u have issues to. My problem started when i erased via adb one partition . Twrp works fine
Hello guys,
I have an ASUS ZB501KL which is hard-bricked and, when I plug it on PC, it shows up ONLY as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, no eMMC storage or something like that, just the COM Port. Nothing weird (I guess), right? The weird fact is: EVERY-SINGLE-TIME the device is plugged in, my PC hangs and after minutes (generally 5-10) crashes.
I've tried to change USB Port: nothing
I've tried to disable the driver signed verification: nothing
I've tried to run in Safe Mode: NOTHING - device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting
I've tried to install drivers which have a digital signature: NoThInG
I've tried to use other PCs and other Operating Systems: the same problem
I don't know what else I could try to make my device recognized and possibly my PC hangs/crashes-immune, so if you guys have any suggestions I would really appreciate them.
P.S.: in Device Manager, when I click on driver properties, it shows the event "Device configured (null)"
First, It might be the PC itself that is causing the crash.
And you are lucky that got that COM port.

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it.
I've downloaded the BoardDiag tool and it says: "partition.txt does not exist. Please extract the file from the total binary image."
Apparently I need a .tot firmware, which is LG specific, and I don't know if there are ASUS ones. I have a QFIL compatible firmware and another one called singleimage.bin, but they don't contain the file partition.txt.
By the way, my chip is a Qualcomm MSM8x26 and, regarding my PC, it seems that there are problems with my Generic USB Hub because I have too many devices attached for only 500mA of power.
Now, I don't know how to remove them, because when I uninstall their respective drivers, once I restarted the machine, they magically reappear as USB Composite Device (500mA) and Generic Bluetooth Adapter (100mA).
Also, BSOD Crash Dumps have to do with the file ACPI.sys and the error is: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
Yeah, I know that this will probably become an Android ft. Windows troubleshooting topic, but we are here now.
Thanks for your patience.
For me, Xiaomi devices can flash by that com port (aka EDL mode).
If you are lucky enough you'll figure it out!
btw did you got device firmware?

I think there is a misunderstanding, because you are talking about Xiaomi devices.
I have an ASUS ZB501KL and it is in a sort of "infinite EDL mode". Let me explain: my device goes automatically in EDL mode, even if I unplug and replug the battery, so I do not need any combination of buttons.
I'm starting to think that there may be some eMMC-related problems, because I've probably messed up the block 0 in some way.
Anyway... the biggest problem is still the BSODs I get when I connect my phone in the USB port, and if I boot my machine with the phone plugged it freezes and doesn't even load the BIOS.
nono, it's just an example
Oh, ok. So, is there any eMMC diagnostic tool which is compatible with MSM8x26 devices?
I'll take a look for ya.
Hi maybe you can try something similar to my post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/asus-fonpad-7-fe170cg-bricked-stuck-t3740819
Download Official firmware first but look for old version for your Region:
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-Live-ZB501KL/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Look if there is archive ipsw or something like that inside stock firmware which you need for xFSTK Downloader or download latest one .
rest you have in my post use then Raw firmware with Asus Flash tool .

If that doesn't help you try to flash boot.img , recovery.img and system.img with ADB & Fastboot command line (those files you can find inside your stock firmware , also try on another PC. Good Luck : )

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, all of your possible solutions do not work in my case because, apparently, I wiped out the entire eMMC and there are no more partitions. I also installed usbdeview to see what is going on with my usb drivers, and I noticed that the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" device doesn't turn on (in order to understand each other: it has the red light), even if I disable the driver signature verification.
Reading some other topic I saw that is possible to boot a Qualcomm device directly from SD Card, is that true? Because, if it is, I could try to flash, I don't know, the bootloader I guess?
Let me know if it is possible and, why not, share some other solution which can help me to revive my dead phone.
Thanks for your patience.
Hi , I know that is possible to create cdc boot files inside sd card to boot your device but I'm not professional for that .
What you can try is to reconect your battery but you need to dissasembly your device.
Instruction How to do that.

If that doesn't work maybe your battery is dead or hardware issue like emmc chip .
Good luck
Well... I tried the "boot from SD Card" method and it didn't work.
I don't think that the battery is dead, because when it is about to discharge a red LED light blinks for five seconds. Anyway... I'm still getting BSODs when I plug my device in the PCs' usb port(S), except Ubuntu which recognizes it as Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode) instead of Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I don't know if that is the right driver and, if it is, how to work with it on a Linux distribution because as far as I know there is not a QFIL version for this OS.
If that could be helpful to find a solution: I've erased the entire eMMC using fdisk -d /dev/block/mmcblk0 in TWRP, maybe that's why PCs aren't able to read any data from it... and there is no way to recreate a partition table, apparently.
