Thank you so much!!!!!!

Out of curiosity once this is complete....I should be able to get into download mode so I can flash with Odin?

Right now I can't do dload mode or anything I just try this and get the device not ready error
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
in my case it flashe stock boot i think as im rooted i have to boot to download mode and reflash the combo bootloader to boot but yes

once complete you have to force reset device and it shout at leats have intial boot screen recovery and dl mode
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] IMDONE:
Do you just need the qualcom drivers or is adb needed as well I'm thinking it's a driver issue
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
i had adb but i never setup qualcom im on win 10 it auto setup for me
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] IMDONE:
ah ok did win 10 ever make a disconnection sound during the process i get one as soon as i clisk the recovery.bat but it still says my device is connected
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
After every failed attempt you need to reboot edl just like dl mode same combo. You will hear it dissconect and reconnect
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] IMDONE:
Just to make sure.......My phone is currently blank when its on edl mode does it usually display anything on the screen in that mode....... the only way i know its on edl mode is it when it takes the up the a com port... thanks again for your help ill try different things to see if anything resolves it....it must be something im doing seems like a relativity easy fix

Update: after much trouble shooting I release I get the same error when I try set the recovery to com1 (the motherboards com port) so I think when I launch it and I hear that disconnect it causes the device to not send a response back (glad I moved to my desktop).... I'm going to look into some different cables and see if that's the issue
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] IMDONE:
After a bunch of troubleshooting i tried two different oem cables and still get the the disconnection problem... i tried reinstalling windows on my laptop and i still get the disconnection....maybe my steps are wrong for EDL MODE.....

1. plug the phone in and press any button(i have also tried the bigsby power and volume down combos) until my computer says qualcoom hs usb qloader (this is what i believe is EDL) (nothing shows on the screen)

2. then click recovery.bat

is there a missing step ?

Any chance I can get the v5 bootloader files maybe even 6 not for sure?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
I would download jrkruses rev 6 safe strap method that should suffice to fix rev 6
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] GXDA3:
What can I do if it's just not flashing in edl mode anymore? Its recognizing my device on com port 2008 but when I try to flash it just stalls it wont go to bootloader or download mode anymore it's just stuck in edl... no lights no vibration no nothin. Please anyone any suggestions? Should I let I die completely? Or take it apart and remove the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Did it stall or it complete and not reboot. If the latter force reboot. If the first. Try force rebooting like if your going to download mode. While connected to PC. You an hear it disconnect and reconnect. Every failed flash in edl must be rebooted just like failed flashes in download mode
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] GXDA3:
Thanks man I finally got it to flash... I think draining the battery all the way helped as it did die while flashing so I think I zeroed out the bootloader letting it die must've reset it? Idk but it worked I just flashed the rooted nougat system image... it is taking forever to boot up the first time though... samsung logo is still flashing so I'm gonna let it sit for awhile... if this dont work then I guess I'm just gonna have to go back to the pie rom with safe strap and not have root... really hoping for root so I can overclock it to get dolphin to run better...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
You cant over clock on a 950u locked bootloader.

I had a lot of issues with rev 6 and root. Gave up and got a h830 lgg5 tmobile
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] GXDA3:
Oh dam... I got the plus model but still. I can still run lspeed and that should help it run better for gaming right?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
We've had a bunch stuck here. All I can suggest is to other USB ports cables. Or pc.

As well Reboot your device same button combination as download mode while plugged into pc. You'll hear it disconnect and reconnect. Everytime the script fails you need to reboot edl. One user even had success after letting his device die and then retrying
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dallas Johnson:
Okay I will try and let it die and try again. For some reason my phone won't reboot in edl mode. Tried every button combination for 30 seconds plus and it won't reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Leave it plugged into PC. Press and hold all the buttons. Up down bixby and power. Listen to your PC. It will sound a USB disconnect and reconnect sound. The device itself will still do no signs of life

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Every failed flash in edl must be rebooted it next will failed kinda like a failed flash in Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dallas Johnson:
Yes I have tried this many times. Phone will not disconnect and reconnect so i am going to let it die or disconnect the battery
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dallas Johnson:
Hey guys I'm still stuck on this one. If anyone can PM me and help me out with this I can donate to you

I have a Samsung s8 that just stopped responding while charging one night. I'm only really interested in the photos and such that are on the phone.

I haven't found an app yet that seems to work for me. I've been searching through the forums trying to find a solution.

Thanks in Advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:

Not sure where to go from here. I've read about the EDL reboot having to be done with letting the phone die. In the S8 SafeStrap thread, there's a file in the SafeStrap download called 'Reboot_EDL.bat'. I ran it as admin, it flashed a CMD screen quickly, but I'm not sure what it did. 'Qualcomm 9008' did not disappear and reappear, nor did Windows make the disconnect sound. Maybe someone with more knowledge can look into that. What files do I need to fix the EDL problem if I'm on Android 9 Pie on the latest T-Mobile update? I have the SM-G950U

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Run the recovery.bat. Not the emmcdl.

Some people have problems with it. Maybe try a different PC. I've got 3 different PC's running but edl 9008 only works on one of them. Edl recovery bats seem really touchy.

Some guys have supposedly had sucsess using qfil for repair as well. The reboot edl is for combination rom. It bassicly adbs a edl reboot. It won't reboot edl once in edl.

Samething with my wifes

Hi all.

im guessing from what im finding here my wifes phone is hardbricked. she was just texting a friend when it just froze. it would not reboot or anything. i did a force reboot and all i get is a black screen. not even a charge LED.

when i plug it into the computer i get hs-usb qdloader 9008. Now both of our phones are stock.

what do i need to get the phone back.

its a S8+ from verizon.

do i just need the files from the first post or is there other stuff. all im going to want to do is put stock back if i have to.

of course i would like to have everything let alone, but im guessing no luck in that with this problem

thanks for any pointers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
This is for a regular s8 not plus and you need to know what firmware it was on before. This is older I believe so your looking for proably a bit 6 repais in the plus threads.

Have you ever actually tried the SD card method and had success? I certainly haven't, and my opinion is that its only for older model Samsungs. I have used files similar to what OP posted with a firehose programmer with success, however.

A few guys I've seen claim they have. But since I got edl working I know wheres s8s test points are. I'm gold. No worries in my end

Btw nice name ?????
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] joeminati:
Hello all,

Can anyone provide me with the files for the S8 or the Telegram chat name>?

I tried running the 950U Recovery bat and errors after Sahara
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
What bit number are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] joeminati:
Not sure what you mean by bit.

Sorry as I stay away from Samsung phone since the announcement of Knox years ago. I have been flashing phones since HD2.

I know it's a 950U1 and didn't even see the phone personally as I am trying to help a relative. All I know is that it has the 9008 issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
I need to know what firmware it was on before the brick. If it is in the latest from the last few months it's on bit 7 and we don't have the edl files for bit 7. So no fix for that

Bit number it the boot loader incrementation. 5th digit from far end of firmware. Is your bit number But if your edl you probably don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] joeminati:
Ohhhh so that explains why the that unbricker doesn't work?

Any reason why this happened?

Seems like a lot of these Samsung phones have these issues.

The one with the Rocovery.bat and issues with it being finicky with certain cables, PCs.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Their really not. I've never had any issues. I've had a bunch of hard bricks. And between my PC and cables been awesome for me. So I don't know.

There have been guys have issues with the recovery bat. But it always stemmed down to a pc issue or wrong bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Nomi242495:
Hey man. I've been working on this phone for over 3 months on and off. It's not been going so well. I believe it was the wrong bootloader and my reason for this is before it bricked I got it upgraded to Android Oreo. If you know anything that could possibly help that would be so fantastic. Thank you so much for your time and effort spent helping other people too.

EDIT: I'm sorry. I should mention it is a SM-G950U
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
You would need bit 6 edl recovery files. I don't have any of them. I have 1 2 and 5 in my gdrive hosted but I would recommend bit 6 in your case

Some one around May still have them. I don't even have a s8 any more
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] adx88:
My G950U firmware is G950USQS7DTB3. When i rooted it, It became brick. it cannot enter download mode. Do U have the edl file to unbrick it in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Files don't exist for bit 7 devices your out of luck. Id like to know how you hard bricked with bit 7 root method?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] adx88:
on this website:

ww____w.thecustom____droid.com/root-galaxy-s8-plus-snapdragon-samfail/

I Flashed Combination Firmware and then brick
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
That's kinda hard to believe unless you unplugged your device while flashing it your PC shut down. Simply flashing a combination file will not hard bricked your device. You shouldn't have used some 3rd party back woods website for root. Then come here when it don't work and seek answers. In a way that kinda what you get for following non approved method. That they are trying to steal pretty much.

But as I said the files do not exist. So your out of luck. Til they do find you another device in the mean time
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
So the edl rev 7 files do exist but the guy that has them wants 100 bucks for em. Not worth it in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] adx88:
Thank you a lot

I quite agree with you

I'd rather to buy a new one
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Yea i gave 175 bucks for my s9+ snapdragon unlocked bootloader So for an extra 75 bucks on that you can get a newer device and not pay some software rapist. I understand the time that goes into making these files But this guy acted like he is the only one with them and then you think of how many peoples paid him 100 for them. Its robbery at its finest
