A10 Stock -> A11 Stock OTA Brick - Moto G Power Questions & Answers

Long story short, friend picked up a used Moto G Power 2020 from eBay, then OTA updated from stock A10 to stock A11. Upon reboot the screen shut off, it won't charge (doesn't pull any power), and the screen is totally off (no backlight). I tried long power press, power+vol down, and power+vol up, but no dice. Then I noticed it shows up in Windows as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). Research shows at this point a blankflash is required, which I did (and said was successful), but the phone didn't restart into fastboot as suggested (and the screen is still totally black (not on at all).
Kinda lost where to go from here.

Redmi 3 (Snapdragon) Bricked no EDL, no SYSTEM, only FASTBOOT (locked)

Hello, I made some huge mistake, I tried to flash with MiFlash a modded rom with TWRP recovery.
The flashing succeeded but now my Redmi 3 vibrates twice, shows the mi logo and turns off. In some weird way (press power button and volume+ and when the logo shows up immediately press volume-) I can reach the fastboot, but it's the only thing I can reach.
If I try to reach the EDL my phone vibrates twice and turns off
Unfortunately the fastboot is still locked (i made the request on miui, but still no answer).
Even when is turned off my Pc detects the phone as Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008
Is there any way I can trick the lock in the fastboot and flash something which will repair at least the EDL so I can go back to stock firmware without disassembling my phone (I already read the guide, but I'm scared of doing it)?
if i remember well you have to power on while pressing both volume + and - so u'll get to black screen that is download mode. then flash a miui rom with miflash. i bricked mine severals time xD
Check if MiFlash recognizes it in that QLoader mode.
Thank you guys, I figured it out by myself last night, vol+ vol- + power opens the download mode. I flashed a china developer rom waiting for miui to unlock the bootloader.
Thanks anyway

Can someone help me made a debrick/unbrick.img? My phone is SM-G7108V(grand2 LTE)

Samsung offcial software kies3 made my phone bricked. Can someone help me made a debrick/unbrick.img? My phone is SM-G7108V(a G7102 LTE version).
When I connected my phone to kies3, it reminded me to update. After a short while, a notice said successful update and my device rebooted automatically. Then, my phone was totally bricked. I can't turn on my phone, and I can't enter downloading mode as well.
1) Press and hold the three buttons Power + Home + Volume down together failed
2) Volume up + Power failed
All I get was black screen, just like running of out battery.
I tried win32imager to write G7102's debrick.img to sd to boot my phone, but it didn't work.(My phone android version is 4.3)
Now, I connect my phone to computer, it shows "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"

Question How to save a black brick

I tried to root my phone by magisk.
After flashing a patched boot.img, it's failed to boot into system and I got a message that "the device need factory reset". I clicked yes and everything seems ok,I can boot into system. Then I tried to flash img again. So I boot into bootloader. Unfortunately, this time I got a black screen. The phone doesn't response me anymore.
I tried the software repair in xperia companion but It cannot dected my phone when I hold on volume down and plugged in it. I also tried hold on volume up + power but nothing happened. Hold on power key also no response. The led light always black, only become red when I connect it to my pc.
What should I so now and what's my phone's status? I searched something about 9008 mode and edl but I don't know how to check whether my phone is really turn into that status, my pc cannot dect my phone.
Have the same problem, only with the 5 iii instead. Still looking for a fix.
Try to switch the phone off; then just plug it into your PC without holding the Vol- key. It has happenned a couple of times with me that the phone does not want to boot up, with attempts to get it into FLASH mode by holding the key down throwing more confusion into the mix.
I think there is a low battery protection. Make sure the phone is charged up. Keeps the device from death during a flash.
Red led mean a very low battery. Keep it plugged (not to PC but to power adapter) for 2-3 hours and then try again a force reset.
Never, never try flash or other stuff under 50% battery
Also force restart is keep pressed vol+ and power button (or vol- and power button) till you fell a vibration.
Try this after a good charge

It might require experimenting with service modes and different chargers. I had an early Xperia 1 III that bootlooped while charging after setting up the fingerprint reader. It seems that charging is disabled during booting. It has to finish or enter a service/fault mode.
my phone is having this after doing fastboot --slot=b reboot recovery (which actually I had to do fastboot --set-slot=b and then fastboot reboot recovery). the notification light blinks red. have tried vol up + power, vol down + power, and vol up + down + power for like 30 seconds and nothing

I feel sorry for you brother...such a nice device...OK let's talk what happened, the state now your device is in is called hardbrick and it had a corrupted bootloader or no boot loader, but your device is still alive, in your PC in device manager it lists as Qs USB mode with some number after it like qsusb9008...now this device can only be brought to life with the help of a blankflash file which can flash your boot loader in snapdragon service mode...actually no snapdragon can be hardbricked permanently now you need appropriate blankflash file for your device.. Please don't open the device if some repairmen suggests to do JTAG nothing is necessary all you need is blankflash file which is shared to only Sony testers groups.... Who tests ROMs before release and they hardbrick so they share those files to them.... Please don't loose hope....it takes time but certainly it can be bought back to life... And dont try any flashing utility as there is no functional boot loader on it now and nothing will work...Sony won't provide that for sure and they will say then can only solve by mother board replacement ,don't believe therm your device is perfect it only needs blankflash file as it entered into final safe mode... I ain't regular on XDA if you need any info contact me via my mail [email protected] g ma I'll .com
Have any of you tried this - https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/
ok in my case it was the charging IC

Question After an unsuccessful update to Samsung A52 5G became a brick

After an unsuccessful update, the phone was bricked. It cannot be turned on, but when is connected to the PC, the Qualcomm Port 9008 port become active.
Is it possible to unbrick the phone via Qualcomm EDL mode or any other way?
What? What do you mean it cannot be turned on? Even when breaking a samsung phone's firmware, "download mode" should still be active and working. In that case, you have to reflash a whole firmware again. Unfortunately, there's a chance that you will have to give up on your data.

I actually found a solution. I left the battery on the phone to be completely discharged. Then I pressed 3 buttons (volume (+), volume (-) , and power) and connect the computer via USB cable with the phone. The phone went into an emergency recovery mode. I tried to use Odin, but didn't work out. After pressing the power button (for 5 sec.) The phone restarts and the update started over.
Nevertheless, thank you.

Try entering download mode.
Power off your device.
Press and hold volume up and down buttons at the same time, then connect it to your PC while you still hold them. It will automatically enter download mode.
Flash firmware.

Corrupted Fastboot (Realme C2)

Recently, I updated my Realme C2 from Colour OS to Realme UI. After the update, I am unable to access Fastboot. Powering on the phone with the volume down button freezes the phone while it shows "=> FASTBOOT MODE" at the bottom. The only way to reboot the phone is to hold power+volume up. Let me be clear, the phone does boot into Realme UI when powering on normally.
Anyone?
Never mind. It mysteriously started working
