Hi all,

After reading on letv.re that some people managed to brick their devices and were looking for a fix, I started to check more and more about the issue. What happened to some was that the phone would switch itself off and enter into Qualcomm Recovery Mode and would be seen when connected to a computer as “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008”. For others, by flashing wrong files the phone would end up in the same state. Luckily a fix had been found, and it was shared by ParasiTe_RemiX.

DISCLAIMER

Given that maybe nothing will happen to your warranty and this is an unbricking tool, there are small chances that your device might get bricked for good, and I feel the need to say that I am not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions. Any modification that you do to your phone you're doing at your OWN RISK.

Keep in mind that if your phone goes by itself in the QDLoader mode, it’s better to try some combinations below before flashing it using this method:

1) Keep the power button pressed for about 2 minutes, or

2) Keep the power button + Vol up pressed for about 2 minutes, or

3) Keep the power button while connecting the phone to a wall charger, or

4) Bring the phone into a bright light and press the power button (or power button + Vol up) for about 2 minutes, or

5) Keep the phone charging for more than 24 hours and repeat all the steps above.

If nothing works and you are willing to fix it and you’ll give up all your files, then this fix is for you. Or if you have flashed some wrong files and there is no Fastboot, nor Recovery, this is to be followed. Or if you want to reset your phone to a “factory state”, this is the way to go, and by that I mean if you want to check that your fingerprint sensor is working, or you have some other issues, it’s good to revert it this way.

What you will need:

a) A Windows computer

b) FlashOne program - the flashing program for the software

c) QFIL files for X820 (looks like some dev software dating April,2016)

IMPORTANT – YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR FILES ON THE PHONE, PHOTOS, MUSIC, APP DATA, INTERNAL STORAGE WILL BE WIPED.

So if your phone is in this Qualcomm Recovery mode, you can just connect it to the computer, and jump to step 3, if not, and you simply want to flash it, start from step 1.

1) To enter Qualcomm Recovery mode, first turn off the phone and go to step 2

2) Keep pressed Vol Up (+) and Vol Down (-) together and connect the phone by USB cable to the computer.

3) You will see that the computer will install drivers for "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".

4) Unzip FlashOne and start "main.exe". Once you've opened the flashtool you'll see "Flash Type". Here select "Qualcomm - flash dead phone".

5) Select your phone - "COM ..." from "Select device" - here should be the same COM ... as it shown in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT) > "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM ...)"

6) Select File "LeMax2QFIL.zip" from the folder where it is saved

7) Press "Flash" in the lower part of the window

8) Once completed, disconnect the phone and power it up

9) Go to Settings – Storage format the internal storage.

To exit the Qualcomm Recovery mode, keep the Power Button pressed for about 1 minute or until the phone will vibrate and restart into system.

That's it. More info you will find in FlashOne program, actually it's almost like I've described it here.

You will be reverted to a "dev" version of the phone, somewhere with April build date. Keep in mind that it's EUI 5.6 and the kernel is different than EUI 5.8. Update it to latest EUI with stock recovery and then install the custom recovery of your choice.

Most of the guys install a recovery for 5.6 on EUI 5.8 or vice versa and then they get the blue LED. That's why you should read the instructions for each recovery and make sure you know which one you're flashing.
