So I've been playing around with the Nexus Q, trying to build custom ROMs for it, but ran into a bit of a snag last night when I flashed a new kernel and somehow lost xloader and uboot. Luckily for us Google was kind enough to leave a flag on in the hardware that boots up the device into diagnostic mode for 2 seconds prior to loading xloader (if it can). When you plug the device into your computer and then power it on you'll always see a new device pop up called "OMAP4440" very briefly. This is the serial console that the CPU sets up to allow flashing when the flasher (fastboot) is broken.
In order to use this emergency recovery mode you'll need to download the OMAPFlash application that can be found here: http://goo.gl/iRvRk
That package contains drivers for the OMAP4440 device (the driver is labeled OMAP 4460 when you install it) and installing it can be a bit tricky. Since you only have 2 seconds to install the driver you'll have to have the Device Manager open and ready to double click on the OMAP4440 device as soon as it pops up. From there you can click Update Driver and install it from the usb_drv_windows folder. The device will go offline while you're in the process but when you plug it back in again Windows should find the driver you just installed. NOTE: I had some problems with Windows trying to search Windows Update even after installing the driver and had to click on the cancel link in the driver installation dialog.
Now that you've got the driver installed we can use OMAPFlash to get the Q back into a working state. The package I linked to above contains definitions for the Galaxy Nexus (tuna) but just so happen to work on the Nexus Q. In a Command Prompt run the following command in the directory you extracted the files:
Code:
omapflash -v -t 60 -2 -p OMAP4460_TUNA_8G_HS_ENG fastboot
An explanation of the flags:
-v = Verbose
-t 60 = Timeout: 60 seconds
-2 = Upload and execute the 2nd boot ROM
-p OMAP4460_TUNA_8G_HS_ENG = Device configuration (8G = 1GB of RAM)
fastboot = Boot the device into fastboot mode
Run the command then plug in the device. OMAPFlash will see the device come online and send the 2nd boot ROM to boot it into fastboot mode. If everything goes well your Q will turn completely red and you'll now have a fastboot device plugged in to your system.
From here "fastboot flash" all the partitions to restore your device to its former glory (using the img files from the factory ZIP):
Code:
fastboot flash xloader xloader-phantasm-ian67k.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-phantasm-steelheadb4h0j.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
My lesson learned: don't flash the "boot" partition until you've tested it first with "fastboot boot boot.img"
Great work! Does this work with the gnex too?

The instructions and OMAPFlash package were actually taken from a GNEX thread (the GNEX is nick-named "tuna" )
OP updated to include a working download URL.
Great to know, maybe it could be useful for Glass

Hi everybody , today I will share very easy way to unbrick your Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90a40 device .
In my case this device was bricked while instaling custom twrp recovery and custom android 7 OS I got device in that state so the problem was that you are unable to flash your device in diagnostic 9006 mode with to many read only partitions , which I was unable to format or delete in read only state , but actually the problems was not it those partition at all, is about to get
HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode so you can flash stock firmware on it .
Preparing Steps to do before we start :
1. Disable or remove your Antivirus (because sometimes antivirus can block instaling drivers , ports or running flash tool)
2. Uninstall all the previous drivers you used for flashing or unbrick use free tool called USBDeview
for 32 bit users:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip
for 64 bit users:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
3. Put your windows in Test mode
To put your Windows in test mode just Run As Administrator Command Prompt and insert one of the following command:
bcdedit -set testsigning on ( to enable test mode)
bcdedit -set testsigning off ( to disable test mode)
Or Disable driver signature
for Windows 7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gYhHD622AA
for Windows 10 users:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71YAIw7_-kg
After that reboot your PC .
4. Uninstall all flash program from your pc like MiFlash , QPST , Qloader ...
Use Revo Uninstaller for advanced uninstaling that clean leftover files and registry which is stored inside your Windows registry.
https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
After that reboot your PC .
5. Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4 download from here: (if you already have instaled skip this)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851
6. Install first right Qualcomn driver download from here :

7. Install Lenovo USB driver download from here :
https://lenovousbdriver.com/tutorial/install-lenovo-usb-driver
8. Install Qpst (Qfil flash tool) download from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Sms71Oe6FIVTRwbWpSdEZfM2c/view
9. Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot 1.4.2 command tool download from here
(while you start installing tool check to be in desktop is easy )
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
in order to install run ADB & Fastboot 1.4.2.exe with Administrator and just write y and hit enter for all .
10. Download twrp recovery for fastboot flashing and extract to Desktop, download from here :
http://lenovo-forums.ru/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=56391
11. Download stock firmware for QPST Flashing ( inside is drivers and tools also but don't use that one's ) download from here :
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HCn4/auVy8DVo1
Also extract stock recovery for later one inside adb folder
12. Very important is to use Original usb cable ! otherwise your device won't be recognized property!
13. Make sure your battery is charged if you are not sure put in charger for about 2 hours in charger on in pc!
If your device immediately show up Lenovo logo just hold Vol - and power button together release power button once is rebooting put keep holding Vol - it should be black screen now with white indicator while is charging if not , repeat this proces without charger. This is secure because if you let your phone to be charged with Lenovo logo device will be hot and probably the lcd will hot burning effect !!!
So Let's start
1. Make sure your device is OFF first !
2. Hold Vol + and Vol - buttons together in order to enter into FastBoot mode and hold it like that plug usb and see if windows is detecting your device then release buttons.
3. Now once the drivers are successfully installed run Minimal ADB & Fastboot tool .
4. Write command :
fastboot device and press Enter
(you should see your device available )
5. Now write :
fastboot flash recovery (drag inside command tool with mouse "recovery.img" extracted from stock recovery from preparing steps on 11.) and press Enter
6. Next write each command one by one :
fastboot erase cache and press Enter
fastboot erase system and press Enter
7. Now unplug your device from PC.
8. Enter to Lenovo stock recovery by holding 3 buttons :
Vol + & Vol - & Power button at the same time , release just power button once your device vibrate .
Once you see Lenovo MAIN MENU screen press on ''wipeuser data" and wipe each one ,
one by one :
fuse wipe data ( press on YES )
fuse format data ( press on YES )
wipe cache ( press on YES )
Now there is two method for fix :
#First method - Flashing ota firmware from stock recovery
This method is from forum.lenovo.com which doesn't work for me is fail at 49% probably because S208 is old version which is maybe not allowed because I flashed recovery from S363 firmware I don't know but you can try .
1. You need 4 gb or more micro SD card , also make sure is formatted with Fat 32 .
2. Download Z90a40_USR_S208_1507141216_Q2020131.4_ROW_OTAFull.zip, rename it to "update.zip"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CarqWdS9gZZmJmVGp6NkFWRlk/view
3. Copy it to micro SD card again 4 GB or more !
4. Go into recovery menu:
- turn off the phone
- hold both vol+ and vol- buttons
- power on phone, keep both vol+ and vol- keys pressed until it enters recovery
5. From recovery menu choose install update package
After that go back and press on "poweroff"
#Second method - Flashing stock firmware with Qfil
1. Hold Vol + & Vol - buttons and plug usb cable to enter into fastboot mode and open Minimal ADB & Fastboot to again .
2. Now to put your device in EDL mode and open HS-USB QDLoader 9008 for flashing write this command:
fastboot reboot edl and press Enter
Now you should see that your device is detected like "HS-USB QDLoader 9008" so wait for instalation of that driver.
If you are unable to reboot into EDL mode , flash twrp.img from "twrp/img" folder .
In order to flash twrp recovery probably you need to unlock bootloader , but try first without unlocking if is not flashing then unlock bootloader , if is flashing without unlocked bootloader skip this!
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/unlock-bootloader-android-phone-using-fastboot/
To do that just write :
fastboot flash recovery (drag inside command tool with mouse "twrp.img" from " twrp/img" folder ) and press Enter
3. Once is installed go to QPST directory in my case "C:\QPST\bin" and Run as Administrator "QFIL.exe."
.
Rest you have here here explained ...
https://www.gsmhelpful.com/2017/07/how-to-flash-lenovo-vibe-shot-z90a40-with-qfil-flash-tool.html
If for some reasons flashing is fail , plug usb in another usb port USB 2.0 (recommended) and repeat process.
DOWNGRADE from Marshmallow 6.0.1 to Lolipop 5.1
For those one's who want to downgrade device back to Lolipop try this at your own risk !!!

Can anybody assist with this issue? Thanks....
This is an guide for when you bricked your ZTE Blade V9, or you destroyed OS without being able to flash with recovery mode(go to step 9).
There are some hacked webservers with articles and shady downloadlinks about this topic, use brain.
I think it can work with an locked oem, because i locked it at some piont earlier.
If your phone isnt showing up as device, give it 1-2 minutes.
Your Phone works even when its showing a black screen.
You do that on your own risk, Iam no ZTE developer.
1. Read the guide, know what you are doing.
2. Download "ZTE Terminal Software", "adb,fastboot,emmc", "ZTE drivers", Stock Rom (update.zip).
Also some "aboot" chinese-factory-testing-firmware which at least gets the phone booting (emmc_appsboot.mbn) from unofficialtwrp at page zte-blade-v9-twrp-3-2-root.
3. Prepare you stock system.img file from the stock rom to flash later. Get an dat to img converter (I used sdat2img.py [email protected]) and extract the img. Rename it to system.img.
4. Boot phone in download mode, the display may be dark but its there ... depends on your damage. Power + Vol- (If it wont work, try starting it normally)
5. Run PortManager from Terminal Software.
6. See COM4(DIAG) -> if anything other adjust drivers in Device Manager. "ZTE 3G Phone AT" should be the right one. There are also some Qualcomm usb drivers which work.
7. Select Port from PortManager as LINE1 USB in "ZTE Terminal Software".
You should now see COM3(DIAG) in ZTE Terminal Software.
8. Use emmcdl on COM3 to flash. Exclude recovery if you have a working/modded one.
I used the original recovery from the stock rom. (emmcdl -p COM3 -f prog_emmc_firehose_SDM450.mbn -b aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn & emmcdl -p COM3 -f prog_emmc_firehose_SDM450.mbn -b recovery recovery-orig.img)
9. Boot phone in recovery mode. Power + Vol+
10. Select "Reboot to bootloader".
11. Find your phone in ">\ fastboot devices".
12. Get the flashscript from file "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" in the stock firmware "update.zip".
Get all extract commands like "package_extract_file("lksecapp.mbn", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/lksecapp");" ;
13. Transfer them into fastboot flash commands and reflash all partitions. (exclude recovery if you have a working/modded one)
Flash your system.img file (step 3) to "system" .
If needed do the same with "vendor".
14. unlock oem.
15. Try restarting your Phone.
16. ???
17. Success !
18. Disable any updates from ZTE, update 1.4 will go good but 1.5 bricks the phone.
18.2 I updated to 1.5 and bricked the phone, because its a "mayor update".
18.3 Follow steps 4 to 8 and only flash the emmc_appsboot.mbn from the STOCK ROM .
19. Do a backup.
Known bugs:
- Wifi cant start -> try reflash (flash system first or including "vendor") or use simcard and hope that ZTE Android update will fix it.
- oem seems locked and unlocked at the same time - ?
