That's the stock recovery prescreen, you have to do a button combination to bring up the stock recovery menu: http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/fix-device-with-no-recovery/

For whatever reason, factory resetting in custom recovery doesn't fix the known post-flash storage display issue. Only stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] Quentincc:
My bad xD, when i try to take a video with my old and unbrickable optimus 2X to show my problem I arrived to open the recovery.

After the factory reset I have been 32Gb, very big thanks bitdomo for help to save my nexus 5 32Gb motheboard.

I had already tried to fix it earlier this year but I had not managed to fix it because I did not have the partition file/image
[Nexus 5 General] nirmal212:
Where do I get partition.txt?
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
It is in the 16GB or the 32GB rar file. Follow the guide step by step it is really easy. I have no idea how you could miss that.

I apologize for my English , and especially for the inexperienced , with regard to the world Android .

I think I have my brick nexus 5. Suddenly it was off and what I tried to put the phone on charge , the LED flashing red ( but I could not access the phone or to enter into fastboot mode) . trying to attach my phone to your PC , the latter I recognized the driver qhsusb_bulk ( but I have not done anything , because I was ignorant of this discussion ) . Now the phone shows no signs of life , the LED will not light and the phone seems to be dead , and if the connection to the PC does not recognize me more drivers . According to you it is to throw or I can recover it? thanks
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Blinking red led means the battery is empty. Take out the battery and connect your phone to your PC. If qhsusb_bulk does not come up in the device manager then try to press power key (even if the battery is taken out), try different usb port, usb cable or other PC. If you tried everything and still nothing then it could mean 2 things. Your phone is totaly dead or it is somehow magicaly recovered from the qhusb_bulk thing (there were examples for that) and because of that you will not see qhusb_bulk and then your only problem will be a dead battery.

If the qhusb_bulk device comes up follow my guide. Everything is there you need to know. Just a notice, you have to turn off driver signature enforcement even if you are using windows 7.

Finally my Nexus 5 Resurrected!

Bricked my Nexus 5 4 months ago and tried a lot of methods just won't work and some even said the emmc was fried.

Saw this updated thread yesterday and give it one more try and it works! Finally can try the M Preview!

Thanks!!!

I am also getting the "device was not found in dload trying flash programmer" error. QDLoader 9008 mode shows up in device manager. Qcomm drivers have been loaded. Driver signature disabled. BoardDiag v2.99a ran in admin mode. Tried multiple USB's. Battery pulls. Nothing works. Advice?
[Nexus 5 General] bl0kx048:
Did you try to ground eMMC clk pin?
[Nexus 5 General] lbingham:
Bravo!

Fixed my brick. :highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] MKVFTW:
That is about the only thing i haven't tried. Instructions perhaps?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] bl0kx048:
I ll try today, if it will work I ll post how to do this, if no, it s mean i think that we have dead emmc.
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Close all apps like sony companion, moby engine and etc, because they start to sending commands to the qualcomm qdloader device which will cause boarddiag not to work unless you restart the phone.

Connect the usb cable.

Open device manager.

Watch the qualcomm qdloader 9008 device.

Press and hold BOTH volume keys and power key until you see qualcomm qdloader 9008 device disappearing and reappearing.

i did all the procedure, everything fine but now the phone is stuck at google logo and at most i can get where i see an android with red triangle... but that's it, also my pc does not recognize the phone anymore so every tools looks like it's not working, what can I do?
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
You have to reflash the stock rom with fastboot method or lg flash tool method or you flash a custom recovery and flash your favourite rom.

[Nexus 5 General] Masaker514:
Maybe someone can chime in and help me here, my son was playing on his phone (nexus 5) it just shut down and never turned back on. I figured i would try to maybe get it in download mode, instead i got the forge thingy come up, so i googled it which brought me to this thread. So i did what was posted in the op except i'm getting this pop up. No response from the device, check pmic first and if still boot problem replace AP. Anyone got around this? I'm doing what it says and nothing comes up thanks.

Forge HS-USB QDloader 9008 but i also have another board that i was able to flash only problem is after it says complete, the phone never turns on after.
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Never heard about forge hs-usb qdloader 9008. It must be qualcomm qdloader 9008 and boarddiag only works with qualcomm qhusb qdloaded 9008 device. Maybe bad driver?

As for the otherboard it could be anything why it does not turns on (hardware failure, empty battery...) or it appears not turning on (broken screen, something is fried on the board, broken screen connector...)

Weird the second board has the same name pop up in device manager, I guess it's off to buy him a new phone. Thanks for the quick answers.
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
I guess you have some sort of driver problems then. Connect phone which fails on boarddiag to your PC. Press and hold power+volume_up+volume_down keys until you see the device disconnecting and reconnecting in the device manager and try boarddiag again.

With the first board I tried when I hold all 3 buttons nothing happens, the second one disappears from device manager and reappears with the button combination as the same name with forge
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Something is not right with the first board :/

Have you tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it? This is the last thing I can think of as a solution.
[Nexus 5 General] Masaker514:
Yup I've tried all that. I think it just died, no clue how but it did. I'll try and find one around town for cheap. Thanks again for the quick responses.

Bricked

Hi guys,

First time poster, with an issue, to avoid this being long winded I will try to put my problem in point form

- Nexus 5 32GB Unlocked Boot Loader

- Working fine, no drops or spill or single scratch

- Rebooted phone after Pandora was stopping after every song (Common Occurrence)

- Phone doesn't come on

- Found this guide after noticing QHUSB_Bulk

- Installed Drivers

- Got Qualcomm to show

- Ran the BoardDiag

- Stopped at EMMC (failed to open partition from EMMC)

- Retried (device not found in dload trying flash programmer)

- Restarted and retried again (Serial port opened: Failed)

- QualComm still in device manager however now with an exclamation mark next to it

Any ideas on how to proceed? I find it very odd that the mother board would fail so randomly on a phone in good working order, also I was doing no flashing or anything to the phone at the time. Any help is appreciated, I tried my best reading several forums but no luck

Hope someone can help

Thank you :good:

Edit: Exclamation Mark gone but still getting the following error

device not found in dload trying flash programmer
[Nexus 5 General] g.amarnani:
Any help :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC and press volume_up+volume_down+power keys for 15-20 seconds until you see the qualcomm/forge qdloader 9008 mode reconnecting.

Try again with boarddiag. If you get the same error then press the three keys again just like you did before and in boarddiag select emmc test then change the read/write option to erase and then select sdram test too. Leave the restore boot images unchecked.

If still the same error happens your phone cannot be repaired.

If it turns on then please contact me with email: toth.dominik92@gmail.com to fix your efs partition, becasue this method could lead to changing the imei number which is againat the rules of xda

[MENTION=4325732]bitdomo[/MENTION] Thanks for this tutorial. My N5 went dead after I was riding in my buggy a year or more ago. I decided to try and fix it today and came across your thread and googling, QHUSB__BULK.

No matter what I do I get the same error in BoardDiag, "Failed to open partition from EMMC".

I guess this means the phone is completely fried?

It appears to be dead, when plugging in a charger or trying to turn it on. But does respond to the cable when plugging in into the PC.

TIA

Hey folks!

My Nexus 5 suddenly stopped launching. When I connected it to PC, under Device Manager it was listed as QHSUSB_BULK. After installing proper drivers it changed to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Serial Port (COM11). Then I launched BoardDiag v2.99a and tried to restore device. AP test passed, but EMMC test failed with message 'failed to open partition from EMMC'. When I tried to check it again, I receved a message 'device not found in dload trying flash programmer'. Then I tried to force device to reconnect by holding vol+, vol- and power buttons. Again, AP test passed, but EMMC failed.

Is there any hope for my Nexus, or is this 100% bricked?

Thanks in advance!

Bad Emmc Question

I tried this method and it appeared to work, at least according to the results screen but still I was never able to flash the stock rom or even a new bootloader. So I went back and using the tool tested the emmc and it failed. So my question is why did the procedure appear to work when the emmc is bad?

[Nexus 5 General] RusherDude:
Anyone in this situation, can't you just turn off the phone (hard to tell when its off if its on Qualcomm HS mode, if you hold it too long it will reboot, just have to press it few secs only), and try to enter in the

secondary bootloader

?

for this, hold both volume buttons and power for seconds when the phone is off (like to enter original bootloader, but instead of only volume down, press both volumes and power)

If your phone is OK and you're in QHS mode is because you ****ed up the bootloader, but the secondary bootloader too??? you shouldn't had to do that, unless you literally ****ed up every partition on the original bootloader, specially edi, which doesn't have a backup (this is rareee). Most of the times people just ****ed over aboot or sbl1 and that should be fixable from fastboot on the secondary bootloader (just flash a new primary bootloader with "

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

" (use last one and done....)

If you're on that qualcomm HS mode because the EMMC or whatever is broken, it's new phone time :(. But most of the people should never ever have the backup bootloader partitions touched even by accident on the original ones o.O

Hello, i need help with a Nexus 5 bricked, i followed the guide but the program says "PrimaryGPT partition write FAIL.. sector 0x0".

"PrimaryGPT partition read done..

PrimaryGPT partition write FAIL.. sector 0x0"

Before i tried with Nexus Root Toolkit, the bootloader is locked, i can unlock it but when i restart the device it is locked again, i tried to unlock the bootloader and Flash the Stock Rom without restart it, but the program say "flash write failure", so the phone restart and the bootloader is locked again.

For both of you, it means your phones beyond repair. Better to look after for a new phone. You can try to sell the phone in parts like the screen, back cover, sim tray, antena cables to minimze your costs.
[Nexus 5 General] superguy19:
It can be fixed...

Still have great chances to save...

Need emmc box to make connection directly with emmc...and make soft flashing of partition...

Board diag is limited to hex file execution...

Sometimes partition table get dustyrbed so that it could not retrive it even emmc is not dead.

bitdomo, I wonder where you did find the image files? I need one for my Nexus 5X (H791, 32 GB) since it doesn't boot or start into bootloader anymore.
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
Darkweb. I dont see any update for the this tool supporting nexus 5x sorry. Maybe in a year or so I can get it for 5x too. It took 1 year and a month to find it for nexus 5. Be patient.
[Nexus 5 General] RusherDude:
Just wondering Bitdomo, if as you say, those images come from the "darkweb" and take a lot, how can we know they're clean and they're not tampered versions of the bootloader chain with bad stfuff that can even bypass qualcomm secureboot and such? I know that getting a device to turn on again is great, but if that device is now totally compromised, would it be worth it? I don't know if on a N5 you can infect the firmware and such to make it reject flashings over it, but if you could..

Just making a movie :laugh::laugh: .

PS: One serious question. When you did dd over the sbl1 partition, and "your phone didn't boot no matter what", did you try to boot into the secondary bootloader? It has his own sbl1b partition and his entire backup chain (except edi) and should of have worked, or not?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
It did not work. Phone always do the the tz-rpm-sbl1-aboot chain. I dont know the order for that but the last is aboot. If aboot cannot be booted you boot abootb with pressing both volume keys. You cannot do the tzb-rpmb-sbl1b chain sadly.
[Nexus 5 General] RusherDude:
I don't understand.. then why are the rest of the backup partitions there?? if abootb needs the originals rpm, tz, etc. to boot...... it doesn't make any sense :eek:

PS: How do you know the boot order? I always thought that rpm was first and that tz was called by sbl1 just before aboot :confused:, where do you guys get all this bootloader info?

EDIT: Ah you said you don't know the previous order but that aboot it last, it makes sense with what I've readed before then too. I sometimes hate bootloader opened phones: no investigations on bootloader whatsoever :(. It would be fun if we could just trash into the Nexus bootloaders and disable secure boot and such, to be able to flash unsigned partitions at total control (unlike new fastboot flashing unlock_critical, which by what I've read will only permit flashing custom bootloaders and radios but not params, spl or any other partition :( ). We could for example overcome the N6/N9 fiasco with the bootloader locked + OEM unlock bit disabled dead combo. Right now we are at the mercy of Google and that honestly sucks.

I wish I had Ida Pro and the required time to waste and completely overcome the bootloader haha

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] bitdomo:
these might be interesting for you

If I am right qualcomm calls aboot as appsbl and calls the modem/radio/baseband firmware as HLOS

Edit: Or HLOS means the android kernel, but I have no idea. What I know is that in older LG stock roms the radio/modem/baseband image is called HLOS.img or HLOS.mbn
[Nexus 5 General] RusherDude:
Wasn't that order from previous generation processors? I remember reading that new ones started on Radio processor instead of App processor.

By that diagram, it seems that HLOS is the kernel executed by the APP processor.. why would the APP processor execute code for the Baseband Processor? The Modem (processor) is there executing his code later, called by HLOS.. or I interpreate that. But I also remmeber reading that HLOS was some low level OS for baseband processors, so this is a mess.

Unless the diagram tells that the App processor starts the show, calls the baseband processor and passes control to it, for our horror spionage story.

Also found that image and more interesting info about MSM8K on http://www.aiuxian.com/article/p-1414261.html , is MSM8K from sd 800 or it was previous generations?

EDIT: The link says MSM8974 (800 and 801), MSM8916 (400) and MSM8994 (810).

I though that all newer ones started on Radio instead of Apps, when did that change?

Kinda confusing all this. Thanks!
