Honor 8X JSN-L21 totally bricked - Honor 8X Questions & Answers

Hello,
recently I started to play with my Honor 8X JSN-L21 Europe version and I wanted to install a custom ROM from MOS. The instructions said to downgrade my phone to EMUI9.0. I had EMUI10 installed, used HiSuite to downgrade, but it could only go down to EMUI9.1. So, after a little googling, I tried to flash official ROM using the update.app method. After many attempts which ended at 0% the phone finally started to "verify the image," only to stop at 3% and fail. After this i restarted my phone and it is totally bricked. No LED flashing, nothing on the screen, no fastboot/update mode.
The only thing that works now (my computer can see) is putting the phone in COM mode using test point.
I found on the internet some HiSilicon flashing tool that could help, but it doesn't detect my phone when I plug it in (Device Manager says Huawei COM1 - clearly it's connected). The only other option is to buy DX Phoenix and try it out.
Before buying the software, do you guys think it could help? I don't want to spend some $$$ on a software that might (not) work.
Thanks everyone!

Oukitel K6000 Pro HELP wont load after flash

Right peeps, Having a bit of trouble here. I bought the Oukitel K6000 Pro and it came installed with a trojan virus, which i believe is pretty normal for a lot of chinese phones these days anyway. I contacted the company I bought it from and they gave me full instructions to flash the phone.
I have flashed the phone using Sp Flash tools (on both Linux and windows 7) but the phone will now not work! I have installed all the drivers needed (which is so much handier in Linux). After flashing it said download ok. I tried to turn the phone on but only the screen lights up but does nothing at all and also booting to recovery shows nothing either.
It can still be recognised by the computer and sp flash tools but nothing seems to work! Your Help would be much appreciated if there is anyway to fix it! I have sp flash tools V5.1520.00 on Linux and the ROM I am using to flash is Oukitel K6000pro V8.0_20160607 6.0 Marshmallow from needrom. Sorry if this is in the wrong section or not allowed Also Hello as I am new here
Hi! Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen.../oukitel-battery-beasts-k6000-k10000-t3279075
Tried to flash the phone, but firmware was wrong, so now it's dead
Hi,
I am enthousiastic about the Oukitel k6000 pro. It works wonderful and is pretty rugged and very cheap. Paid €165. It is my first android, so need a lot of catching up to do...
There is a security system in place by Oukitel by which you can remotely wipe the data or send your forgotten password by sending a text message #mime# for example. But, when my wife changed her simcard, without unlocking the security, the phone went in lock mode. So fare so good. So now we send it a SMS. But, the SMS never gets to the phone. It cannot be delivered. So the phone was well locked. :crying:
Then we thought, by information of GeekBuying, that you can flash the phone. Well, that did not work so well either. It got flashed alright. After I found out you need to get in the reception mode first. Now the computer recognized the phone. But then the error firmware is wrong came up and now the phone is dead. A perfect hardly used phone is dead.
Is there somewhere software to flash it again and get it going? I have a windows XP, X or mac computer.
At least it is a relatively cheap phone to learn everything. Who knows what we will be doing with in a few years. With less computerpower they went to the moon.
Kind regards,
Frank

Need help with Qualcomm based device MSM 8625 [double-bricked] + total noob!

Dear nice guys of xdadevs,
This is the first time I'm posting and I'd like to request some help from any experts with qualcomm devices.
So the story's like this:
1. I purchased a crappy cheap knock-off local android called Zyrex Onescribe ZA957 (made in Indonesia), it shares similarities with ZTE models like the Zte Blade.
The reason why it was crappy is because it's super slow and it had Android 4.0 ICS installed. Also, whenever I try to shutdown or restart the phone, it would say "Shutting down TABLET". So I immediately knew that it came with a Tablet ROM! This was before I rooted it.
2. It only had like 456mb ram, so I installed Kingroot and successfully got it rooted
3. I then deleted the bloatware with the system uninstaller app downloaded from playstore
4. After a while, the phone just became slower and slower like it was always running out of ram. The boot loading process also took longer and longer as the days progressed, until one time, it just got stuck on the boot logo (bootloop?)
5. So I couldn't figure out what was going on and eventually the phone just decided to stop booting at all, except for making vibrations but no lights or anything else and I couldn't even get to recovery mode by pressing power/vol+ etc.
6. Then I followed instructions to reflash a stock rom and the phone was detected as MSM 9008 or 9006 or something like that. I forgot what program I used to reflash it, but I think I followed the instructions from a website in Indonesian for "tutorial unbrick andromax u".
I also installed the stock rom for that CDMA based phone because it had very similar specs to mine GSM/CDMA dual sim, qualcomm MSM8625 etc.
I knew I had "soft bricked" it at first, but the second time, bang! I've double bricked it and now it's truely bricked! Darnit!
If I try to connect to PC via usb, it's a constant game of cat and mouse where sometimes the PC would detect the phone as "Qualcomm MSM CMDA Technologies" for about 2 seconds, then it disconnects/disappears. Sometimes (after a whole lot of pluggin' & unpluggin', it would stay on the Qualcomm MSM CDMA Technologies as detected in device manager, but listed as "Unknown".
I've installed the drivers for qualcomm BEFORE I attempted to reflash so I know it worked in the past. I've removed the drivers and have reinstalled them, but I still can't get my phone into the 9008/6 mode anymore.
Basically, I want to try reflashing again but I don't know where to go and what to do from here, so any expert help would be strongly appreciated!
Many thanks to the good folks here!
Cheers.

Help Please! need to unbrick a Blu Vivo 5 Mini!!

Hello guys!
I've been trying and reading as much as possible and I haven't been able to bring my Viyo 5 Mini back to life, using SP FLASH TOOL, I have installed the drivers many times and in many different ways but nothing.
After a while looking up I found somwhere somebody said to deactivate the antivirus, I did it and it worked out but my phone ended up without IMEI and with the NVRAM error, so as it worked ONCE I tried to install a recovery to root it and fix these problems, but I got it bricked again, I tought I could rescue it again but after this it doesnn't work, the pc does the sound when I plug the phone but the SP Flash Tool does not start.
I install the drivers and they appear on Device Manager but they have the code 10 error saying the devices cant't start, only ONE works, the one that says Preload.
please someone help me I'm going crazy, I'm not very good at this but I used to handle it very well, it's this phone that is giving me trouble.
my pc it's on 64 bit and win 8, in case that info matters a lot, I have also tried running the SP Flash tool on XP (SP3) commpability
I have been switching the driver of the only device that seems to work to the others to see but still nothing.
thanks in advance for any help
the phone version again is Blu Vivo 5 Mini V050Q

[Help] Bricked Pocophone F1, MiFlash not working

Hello everyone!
So i've been recently playing with custom roms and I messed up my device shutting it down during a TWRP install (I know how dumb it is and I swore I wouldn't do it again).
My device got bootlooped on the pocophone logo and I could only press the volume down and power button to access a weird black screen (no fastboot, no recovery and not detected by the computer). My last chance was to open it and test points to enter EDL mode (it was almost impossible for me to access it with tweezers). My computer now detects it and I was so happy, MiFlash Tool said my account was bound to my PC so I thought it would work, but I got the message:
Sorry, couldn't flash the device before turning off "Find my Device", and I couldn't find a lot of documentation about that error on the internet.
But how am I supposed to do this considering that I can't even boot my phone ? Or is it just that my account is not authorized, and I need to pay some weird ukrainian guy to posess my computer and work his magic to fix my phone? and how can I contact this kind of guy then?
I have tried doing the same method with Qualcomm Flashing tool QFIL but got the Sahara error. maybe I didn't use the software correctly, I don't really know.
Any help would be very much appreciated, I've been through every website google told me about to fix it, but did not manage to do so.
Thank y'all!
Sorry I didn't read your whole post but I saw you have issues with miflash
Miflash tool has a lot of issues on windows 10
I recommend using vmware with windows 7
Or a computer with windows 7(don't forget to have vcredist 86 and 64 installed)

Flashing through EDL mode requires Authorized Xiaomi account. So if you know a person who can perform flashing in your physical presence, approach him or take the phone to the service center.

Bricked Mi A3 after failed downgrade (apparently)

I´m pretty sure I hardbricked my smartphone. I tried to downgrade from A11 since it messed up my touchscreen, but the process of flashing the older ROM (V11.0.10.0.QFQEUXM) stopped and my phone wont start since then. I know its not completly dead since its recognized on Windows as QDLoader 9008, but I cant flash the ROM I mentioned through MiFlash (using 2020-03-14, also tried 2018-05-28 and 2018-11-15 without success) since it always gives the error "cannot recieve hello packet" (sometimes "cannot read from COM" before that).
It´s worth to mention that I have the EU version, not global, I haven´t opened the back of the phone and I´d rather not to do it, the notification LED is always off and I have ADB, fastboot and the Qualcomm drivers installed. Any idea of what can I do next?
Exactly problem I faced to the T. Same error and everything. The only solution is to go to the device centre and lie android 11 update did it. That's what I did.
Me too, broken touchscreen after update to A11, try to downgrade and my a3 was bricked. I believe that process triggered Android verified boot (anti rollback) and make our a3 bricked. You should bring your phone to service center because you cannot flash through EDL mode without xiaomi authorized account. I'm in Vietnam, service center fixed my A3 for free, even bootloader unlocked
sorry but you can flash stock a11 by qfile and your phone will back to life again
