Bricked Samsung S III SGH-I747 (AT&T - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all.
I found my old Samsung S III SGH-I747 (AT&T) that I had hard bricked many years ago. The phone won't turn on at all. Can't get into recovery mode or download mode. Just a black screen and the charging light will turn on. I plugged it into my PC to see if I could fix it and too my surprise it came up as Qualcomm device (Qualcomm HS-US QDLoader 9008) in device manager. I found a program called QFIL that also detects it as a Qualcomm device.
Does anyone have or know where to get the proper files to to fix this issue? This QFIL program needs a .mbn file and a .xml file.
If anyone has any other ways that could possibly fix this issue please let me know.

In all honesty I think its buggered and stuck in the state before the factory flashes the os. How you get out of it.. I dont know.

I have no fastboot, no download mode, it does not switch ON.
I found several guides on the internet , but none of them seems to work.

Lg v10 h960a
Hi, I have the same problem, could you fix it? Thank you
I'm fighting with my fiends phone for over 3 days now, same as yours 960A. What i did is, try to heat the CPU up, rly rly high, and then try to turn on/fastboot it. If its not working, put it into freezer, and try to boot it inside a freezer. After 2 days i managed to get to fastboot few times, flashed stock firmware and right now im stuck on bootloop, but that is fixable. Just play around with heat, this phone is bricked anyways so dont be scared to take of heat sink and just blow your hair dryer straight to CPU.

Help with Hardbricked LG K7 phone

I have a LG K7 MS330 whose software was not working properly. Looking for a solution, I found that there were several firmware updates of this terminal (I had the version 10e compilation), which basically consisted of more recent versions of compilation distributed in kdz files. I proposed to download the latest update available ensuring I download the file corresponding to the smartphone region (MTP in my case).
So, I downloaded the file MS33010k_00_0405.kdz, the tool LGUP 1.14.3 and the file LGUP_MS330.dll version 0.1.2.7. I connected the phone to the PC and started the process.
At 99% the installation failed. However, I could still enter in download mode. So, I download an older version, the MS33010h_00_1021.kdz and repeated the process. This time I got no error.
However, when I finished, my phone went into hardbrick mode. Check the battery and no problem, even charging perfect inside the phone. I do not think the device has any problem with hardware as it worked before. The only life signal I have now from the device is connecting it via USB to PC and press the VOL +, VOL- and POWER buttons simultaneously. In this way, Windows recognizes it as "unknown usb device".
I would be grateful to anyone who can help me with this problem. Regards
I have the same problem!! Please!!
WOoh, I can't believe it. I have the same HEAD-BRICK, because my head has really bricked with this. I came here looking for answers and I just found that someone have the same problem than me, and with no answer. I did similars procediments before I get the hardbrick mode. Please, someone help me, I will really apreciate your help!!!! I really need to fix this!!! Please Please Please :crying: :crying:

I have the exact same problem
I have the exact same problem that you have. I flashed an older rom by accident and now the screen is black and it is detected as qdloader9008. If anyone has found the firehose and the rest of the QFIL files then please help us.

V30 stuck in UEFI crash / QC download mode

EDIT: Fixed with unbricking service. No other way AFAIK. The error is caused by flashing to US998 20d from V300L 21k. Another user ran into the same error flashing from V300 21 to H930 20. So I guess the takeaway is to be careful when downgrading.
So I think I messed up and now my phone is stuck in UEFI crash (text screen with "LGE crash handler: UEFI crash"). It keeps bootlooping and I can't even turn it off.
QPST says it's in download mode when I plug it in.
Any chance I might be able to fix this?
Picture of the error screen attached
I think you need QFIL to find the emmc prog file, I also experienced the same problem.

I've been messing with QPST but of course there isn't much I can do as-is.
I can use QPST by Port Qualcomm HS USB QDLoader 9008, but I do not have a .mbn file if you have a share file thanks

it's a hard brick there is no solution for now (lg g5 .g6.v20.v30 ....) jus twait
im in the same situation on my v300s.:crying:
Read some other threads, there was a mention of a built in fastboot in the PBL but that seems to be untrue.
Maybe this isn't the PBL considering screen is working and there's LG branding.
I've also heard of a recent exploit for SD chipsets, something about the PBL's signature verification. If this works for the firehose, then maybe someone can modify an existing firehose to adapt for the V30, this way a leak won't be necessary. Though if anyone will bother is another matter.

edit:
my device solved with jtag in repair shop.
Sent from my LGM-V300S using XDA Labs
So I still haven't managed to fix this, but did some reading. The phone isn't even in 9008 mode so remote repair probably isn't possible. It shows up as a LG AndroidNet device or something. It might be in 9006 mode except with LG's USB ID (1004:6340) and without an interface to the internal storage.
I tried using a tool to communicate in sahara mode but it's outdated so it can only connect to the device and not much else, the commands are mostly invalid. Interestingly when I tried to switch to download mode it requests a 1KB "AMSS" image.
Anyway I'll need a way to enter 9008 mode if I'm to get it repaired. If anyone know of a way I'd appreciate it if you share.

Not sure if it is actually possible for me. Still no solution. I was waiting for a more complete reply ...

hard-weird-bricked phone

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 .
https://www.beritahuaja.com/2018/01/download-firmware-asus-zenfone-live-zb501kl.html
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avf25E4p0qU
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.

sm-j510mn hard brick HELPPPPP

I have a sm-j510mn and it is completely bricked, when I put it without a battery on my computer it recognizes it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and when I connect it to my computer with a battery it just keeps the screen all black showing a lightning loading and does not recognize anything on my computer I saw on a forum that I need another sm-j510mn to get the file and to recover it someone could help me please I am desperate
sorry for my english i'm from brazil and i can't speak english well i'm having to use google translator
Hi, bro. Please tell me if you can access download mode on your device. If so, you would only have to download the stock ROM from your phone (e.g. from SamMobile) and Odin, and install it using the latter (I mean Odin). If you can't access download mode, I really don't know how to help you xd. Ultimately you could choose to replace your phone board, but that comes at a price and a certain risk. I hope I've been of help.
Follow this guide. Link
It uses galaxy s7 as an example but it should work on j5 aswell. All you have to do is download the sm-j510mn stock rom instead of the galaxy s7 one from sammobile. If you can help it, try to find a similar site to it because that site has really slow speeds.
Good luck
