All we need is the correct blankflash file with the apprpopriate firehose file as well. Then our bricks will work suddenly. Unfortunately, this info is "classified" only for jtag dongles developers. Steel waiting though...

I 've found today this video [YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDzoPy_2qtU[/YOUTUBE] that the medusa pro box can repair bricked 9008 mode qualcomm devices because it can deal with correct msm8992 chipset. Does anyone have or can find a patched version of this medusa pro box without smart card need? I don't want to sell it, i just need to try repairing our bricked nexus 5x. TIA
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0SEFN0BL3:
It seems I only find patches for medusa box (for sony and htc)

are there other boxes that flash nexus 5x so we can look for a version without a box?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ektwr:
I 've found many programs but none managed to write in nexus 5x chip msm8992 memory. Lets hope someone can have access to the appropriate firehose to unbrick our mobiles.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0SEFN0BL3:

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ektwr:
It's the same name MSM8992.mbn or similar.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0SEFN0BL3:

We are missing the MPRG8992.mbn file which is the key to unlock the programmer ability for emmc to accept programming. If we manage to find this, we have a chance to revive our bricks. I get a prommise from Aryk though and i 'm steel waiting him. Let's hope for the best.

for some reason, all the software I have tried so far won't even read the partition table to start with.

Any idea why?

Looks like we are the only people who interesting about this thread or what?

Any way, i can tell you that i ve already test all the files who mention before and even more. I 've already dnld many patched boxes as well.

None is the correct .hex file we need. Only if someone guru in LG can build such this file.

The file we are looking for must have a name MPRG8992.mbn or a .HEX extension. I 'm glad who you are interesting about this thread.

My bricked is a friends nexus 5x H791 16GB version.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0SEFN0BL3:
Hi there

thank you for reaching out to help.

We are need of the programmer file for the Nexux 5x (32gb and 16gb)

We have looked in so many places over the internet and have not found the correct file.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJHawaii:
Ok and so I am going to make two then one for the 16GB and one for the 32GB. Then after I am done with that I may do a test flash on my end and post your guide here, you can make a new OP later, I will get this done NLT one week.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0SEFN0BL3:

I really appreciate your help, man. It was a surprise that a senior member would reach out this late into the thread!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJHawaii:
No problem I will post everything here.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJHawaii:
I almost forgot does anyone have a 16G backup or can create one, I can convert it. I just need you to install twrp take a flash drive put it in the phone format it to exfat and 16GB, once you have TWRP Installed go to storage and note the directory name of the flash drive I think it is usbdisk but if its different then usbdisk then go to advanced connect with adb open a command prompt and type these commands

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/usbdisk/backup.img bs=512 count=30535646

The backup is 16GB then zip it up into a rar file and upload it and send me the download link I will do the rest, lets do 16GB First for the H790 and then we will do 32GB and then the H791.

Hello i just found my old Nexus which is in 9008. Did anyone manage to do something with it? Or can i just throw it out?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pah2602:
Alright everybody. My friend gave me his Nexus 5X (H790) 32GB a whil back to try and retrieve his photos. Phone was completely dead, no life whatsoever.

When plugged in I had the Quallcomm QDLoader 9008 in my device manager on COM4. This was also the case when the battery was disconnected. So after searching the entire internet looking for the proper firehose file or other method to get the phone going I was ready to give up. Then I looked at a video on youtube where the EMMC chip is heated in an attempt to reball the chip and this worked for the guy. I had seen threads over the years about various devices being brought back to life by either putting them in the freezer or the oven. Nothing to lose at this stage I stripped the device down (ifixit have a detailed guide) and took the motherboard aside. I wrapped it in foil loosely and put it in my oven at 190 Celsius for about 7 minutes. Left it cool for a few minutes and reassembled.

As soon as i plugged in the USB cable I got some life. The red power LED on the bottom came on and the battery charging screen white on black came up. I tried to power on got as far as the google logo and it would reboot. Progress. I managed to get the phone into download mode and fastboot mode with the key combos and after about 10 minutes of going through different boots & loops the device came on!!!!!

I went straight to developer options for debugging and I used adb pull /sdcard/ toget everything off. SUCCESS My friend doesnt care about the phone itself just the data. Most accounts of this method online go on to say the device dies again after a few days so this is not a permanaent fix but if you just want your data it's worth a shot.

Edit - I'll see what I can do about trying to get the firehose file from this device.

I'm in the exact same situation right now! Screen is black, no bootloader, no recovery, no download mode, just this Qualcomm entry in device manager. So did I understand correctly that there are several ways to unbrick the device but only if can enter fastboot or download mode? With our "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" we can only use Qualcomm tools like QFIL which is good for 99% of devices using the cpu but only for the 5x there are no configuration files so it is impossible to recover the phone? :(
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qb74:
Correct, you just need to have the tools to access the phone and send some cmd's (adb and/or fastboot) or some mode (recovery and/or download mode) to be able to bring your phone back to life.

Now we're waiting for the files to flash with QFIL now, hopefully our fellow 5X friend will provide us with the juice we need! :D
