Those tools will not work to debrick ur device now i do no if u hold vol up plus down and plug in usb cable u get qualcome hsusb 9008 mode and if u have partition backup of phone there could be a possible way to debrick with img/mbn hex files i did come across a mbn file in firmware folder posibly might be a bootloader program file not sure yet pc is down till tomorrow but again those mtk tools will not work to debrick this device none mtk chipset anyway can someone upload build and system prop files so i can check them out mine is down at this time

After looking in the build.prop I see system properties. Does this mean the system prop is written in build.

Well it looks like we have to wait for twrp without source kernel but lets fix some of these bricked phones if u guys are down and want to try and fix then reply and will see what i can come up with AND DONT FACTORY RESET U WILL LOOSE ADB worst mistake u can make

Well I softbricked as you know, but I will buy a new one next month. Still, I will continue to do my best to unbrick. I did factory reset unfortunately. I can reach my phone with adb sideload, but whatever update.zip I try it ends up with bad footer and signature issues. I've googled qualcomm hsusb 9008 and I've tried to install that driver with no success? I know that what ****ed everything up this time was my editing of vendor/layers. I'm prepared to work hard for this, but if it doesn't work, I'll keep it for spare parts. I know we've been asking already, but is the flashify backup of the kernel of any use for you?

I want to debloat this phone. Is there a list of apps that are safe to remove (TitaniumBackup)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
Well, all MetroPCS and Google apk's which you probably know already :)

Anything else, use common sense, freeze first and see what happens, research the app you're wondering about first though, it helps. The system partition is so big so you don't need to delete for space reason. I wouldn't recommend deleting any system files/apps (except for metro & Google apk's) before we have a custom recovery. Have in mind that this phone will NOT factory reset what you deleted or edited in the system,it will reset the system as you left it and erase data. I know, I tried and softbricked twice.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
I wish it was that simple :(

This bootloader/fastboot seams to be hidden... And if we ever find it, then possibly, we can attempt to unlock the bootloader.

I settled with this phone rooted, and it's workin great. Try different launchers and freeze the system apps you don't want, but be careful. I am in love with htc sense, so that's my choice. My alcatel is snappy and perfect, so I'm happy :)

You can find all the recommendations if you read through this thread :)

Thanks for you effort, unfortunately we've already tried this :(

You're approach is the right one. You'll find a lot of tried out options throughout this thread. But sadly enough, more and more they seam to make it harder and harder to touch the bootloader and to flash anything unsigned by both the carriers and the brands themselves. The most recent fallback is Samsung S7 who have disappointed the whole world of developers by hitting this new wall of secure flash verification and Qualcomm secureboot :(

Don't have a working PC to try this right now but I notice you still get in*Qloader hsusb 9008*mode while it is plugged into a wall socket I have USB to mini that plug into a piece u plug into a wall socket for charging but has anyone try boot in*Qloader hsusb 9008*mode while plugged in wall then switch over to PC right quick without power off to see if it might change from download mode to something else
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
Same answer again :)

Yes, we've tried it but so far no use unless we have a valid rescue ROM or the correct files which I believe are based on source.

And again, if you want to save yourself some time, it's all documented in here :)

But on the other hand, we learn a lot more when doing it ourselves, so nothing wrong in proceeding your research. And even if we've tried it "all" and failed, you might be lucky, who knows :)

And I've tried qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 also without battery. It recognized the phone but again, useless without correct files :(

The problem is, it may be the jacket in your phone. Or if anything. Your headphones.

I have no problem. I hear loud and clear.....

Your ears? Hehe. Jk. :)

Anyway, I wouldn't give up on this phone just because of the sound. I'm sure one day, source code will be released. And we will uncode from scratch to build boot loader.

Dreams are dreams. *sigh*

For you, its your call. Just saying its better than any other phone out there over 100$.

Are we not able to get into fastboot? Has anyone tried one of the factory USB cords? I had a bricked Kindle Fire and the only way to get it into fastboot was with that specific type of cord.

Hmm, that sounds like a good idea, but unfortunately we we may not have a fastboot on this device.

But hey if you could figure out which cord will work for a fastboot, then by all means let us know :)

Is the xposed22 zip at the root of your internal not external SD card?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imakul8:
Yes, it is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernsmonke:
When I downloaded this zip https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xfs1v0mt6gkrbvg/AABLXcY14IdQ_Bn6ohtPN87sa?dl=0 , installer.bin did not have to be renamed from a text file.

Extract the zip, then open the extracted folder (I am using an app from the PlayStore called Root Explorer for file management and extraction).

Make sure that busybox is already installed. If not, install it from the zip, yes to sbin, install button, reboot.

I also installed the terminal emulator app and xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk from the zip.

I then copied the xposed22 sdk from here http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm/xposed-v82-sdk22-arm.zip to the root of my internal sdcard along with installer.bin.

Run terminal emulator

Type su, it will then ask for root permissions which you should grant terminal emulator (I am using SuperSU as my root app)

then type

sh installer.bin (I think this is where we are getting stuck. No need for the SDCARD directory, you should already be at the root of your device)

You may have to run that command 2 or 3 times before it will work, but it did on mine.

Hope this helps!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imakul8:
I got it working. I think that guy got his files mixed up when he redid his links. The installer file being a txt was the clue. I just downloaded another bin file and its all good. Thanks for all the replies. I'll upload all the files I used to take out the guess work.☺

If you've never had a Rooted device or are inexperienced when it comes to root, I highly advise not rooting this phone. Since there is no recovery there is very little room for mistakes, people think titanium backup will save them, it won't. From my experience with tb starting at lollipop restoring system apps would often cause crashes, but it will restore data apps just fine. The only way I've been able to restore system apps after lollipop is by using es file explorer and manually copying the app folders from the system
