I got in touch with UBreakIFix which is Google's Support partner.

They have the phone and think they can fix it.

I give them a 50/50 shot.

They'll let me know in the next 24 to 48 hours.

It's free for them to look at it.

They'll only charge if they fix anything.

Google is still not answering the Support line.

I wanted to let you know so you weren't pushing to finish working on it just for me.

I looked at the other thread.

I don't know how to do what he did.

"It seems that he used a HTC image and boot my Pixel into 9008 mode from bootloader"

Do you think this will work on an og pixel (not xl?) I have one in the same state as the OP. I'd love to try to use these files to recover my mostly dead phone if I could.

Hi,

Has there been any update in this? my OG pIxel XL 128 GB just got hard bricked.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dmc123:
Can you tell me how to extract the files to save the black brick？
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tcnewman:
kurtcocaine,

My Pixel XL was past warranty but I was very calm but persistent with Google Support.

I never got angry with them but kept insisting that all I wanted was to get my phone back to factory after their update bricked it.

Be warned if you go this route.

They listen to the recordings of the previous calls so don't be rude.

Be polite but firm.

Even though my phone had passed the warranty they replaced the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] petiolarissean:
Sorry dude!Was using note 8 for bit but back on og pixel,My pixel works after I somehow screwed it up.I lost all files when pc crashed!But let me figure out how exactly extracted files.Proof.My pixel working again!Believe it or not you might be able to get emmc file from verizon.I know this because when authorities want to to see history of phone request emmc files to investigate person.It happen to me.Sean

Can you please please help

Hi ;

You mentioned you were able to get it fixed, did you have to delete your data , was it still there ?

Can you please help me with unbricking my pixel phone X: 128 GB , I already have another one working but I am not sure how to get files to SD card as pixel does not have external storage only internal memory?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] haleem254:
Same here, hoping to know the method you used to fix your pixel . I am trying to unbrick a pixel 2 with the same problem
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Elixir_:
Hi guys,

I'm having the same problem with my Pixel XL 128GB since last month (it happened after the December security update).

I am a Pixel XL owner since early 2017 (you can check my posts on XDA to confirm it and I can even give the pictures of the box and the invoice ).

If anyone was able to resolve the problem I would really appreciate if they can share the procedure/files with me. It's really frustrating especially since I didn't to anything wrong it just happened by itself and in addition to that my phone is out of warranty and it's not even supported in my country.

Any kind of help is welcomed :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] koivth:
The output of the dd command would actually reside on your internal storage. You'd have to pull the files via adb to get them on your computer.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mike163:
My Pixel XL hard bricked itself 2 days ago. The only response is when connected to PC, it shows as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"

If anyone can provide the file(s) to flash, or instructions to extract from a working Pixel, I would greatly appreciate it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] titijuli:
Same here, i just put my pixel XL 128GB charging during the night and in the morning it was off. I did switch it on and just the bootloader screen apeared. can't go to any other screen but off.

Did try to do every thing i read in XDA but was unsuccefull..

I've seen a lot of users with this similar issue.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Poebat:
i had this issue too, and ubreakifix replaced the motherboard for me.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Death I:
This is a softbrick, you need to download the factory image files from Google and flash the boot.img file through fastboot, that should fix it
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
That's correct.... Unless his bootloader is locked.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Death I:
Ah... right... the bootloader lock.

Did anybody ever acquire the eMMC image? They seem to die by hardbricking themselves occasionally.

Pixel hard brick

I purchased this Pixel on ebay. The seller said that it was his personal phone but it got stuck in a boot loop. So I bought it, managed to get it back to the recovery and reset the phone. It booted up, and I actually saw the screen that I think said " Hi Welcome..." and then it saw a black screen. Since that one time no response. I only see "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Tried to figure out how to get firehose files but so far no luck. I'm willing to purchase another phone to download the needed files or another way to recover this phone, I'd be really grateful.

Qualcomm 9008 bricked Pixel

OK, I really need help. Have a Qualcomm 9008 bricked Pixel. Could you help me create the firehouse and XML files? I'm fairly sure I have the necessary .IMG files.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] karelias:
No one is answering. I just want to know if it is repairable. Otherwise I'll look for a new phone which is really upsetting me. I actually still have a warranty but I'm not in the US. So If anyone has solution, please share with us. I'll be grateful.

Any update on the situation?

I have a bricked pixel XL 128GB and UbreakIfix can't help me, They charge almost 300$ to replace the motherboard
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] -sPhoeniX-:
Hi there! I got bricked tomorrow too. Just used my phone as always and got reboot with black screen after. PC detects as a Qulcomm 9008 loader.

So I need loader image too. As I can see there are no images for Pixel XL.

My friend has a Pixel XL, mabe he will help me with image then I share it for you all.

P.S. My GF has a junior Pixel (not XL) may it be this image will be compatible who knows? (Specs of these devices are the same)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saiknaram:
Did you manage to get the image? Another hard-bricked Google Pixel here. :(
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Tcwatson 1:
Hi, does anyone here have the files needed to recover the Pixel XL? Mine is bricked as well after not turning it on for several months. When I tried to turn it on it briefly said something about a secure boot or image or something, was only on for a second and I can't remember everything it said. Shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 when I plug it into my PC.

Thanks!

Pixel hard brick

I've been trying to find the ELF and both XML files (rawprogram0 and patch) for a Qualcomm 9008 hard brick so I could use qfil to reload my Pixel. As everyone has found, they don't exist in the wild. But I have found a set of files for a HTC S1 and M1. I believe that these may be the original file from the manufacturer, S1 for the sailfish and M1 for the marlin. They are a .hex and a lot of .zip files. Does anyone know if I could use QPST to load or is there a better program to use?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ethicaldesign:
I would be willing to pay someone for these files. I have just got stuck in this QDLoader mode as well on my OG Verizon Pixel XL. Can anyone help who has a rooted Pixel XL? Maybe we should buy a used one on ebay and try to extract it ourselves?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] crysisaverted:
I bought the file. It is not a signed programmer, just a flash dump that requires opening the phone and removing the flash chip to program it directly. It's a very difficult repair and probably not worth it for a phone this old. Also, please don't spam.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] boy2121:
can you send me please?

sthe2154@gmail.com
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] crysisaverted:
Do you have a UFS programmer (typically costs over $150 USD) and the tools and skill to remove a flash chip, reball it, and re-attach it to a board?

If not, this file will be useless to you.

[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] RaDi004:
Rooted..?

As far as i know rooted phones will not get OTA. You have to manually flash update.zip and root again, because rooting needs bootloader unlock and will not recognise the device in update server. I guess you have to wait for manual update zip...? ;)

Now you can directly install and update from there.

[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
You will get OTA on rooted phone but it wont install. Even just replacing the recovery wont help as your stock boot is modified while root. you need to flash the stock boot as well before you will be able to update via OTA.

Never rooted

Never changed recovery

Never unlocked bootloader

Ota is broke or non-existent

Support sucks.

Great phone if you never want updates

Bug fixes or new features.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] amine4ever:
Hey guys, i had trouble unlocking my phone following different guides and now that i've done it, i thought i would share the steps i did so it may help other users.

Let's do this:

1. First turn off any VPN both on your pc and phone.

2. Download the mi unlock tool.

3. On your phone disconnect your main mi account. (we will create a new mi account that we gonna only use for the unlocking process)

4. On Pc create a new mi account with email only. (you won't use any phone number in the whole process.)

5. On Pc go to your email box and click on the link to activate your mi account.

6. On your phone add your new mi account account (it will ask you phone number just choose "other ways to sign in" and put your new mi account "email and pass")

7. On your phone go to Additional settings > developper options. and check the OEM unlocking.

8. On Pc go to i.mi.com they will ask you to upgrade your account. don't do it. instead click on the find device purple bouton. (it doesn't matter if it locate your phone or not).

9. On your pc let that window open and minimize it. Open Mi unlock tool.

10. Turn off your phone and boot on fast boot "volume down + turn on" connect your phone to your pc and press "Unlock".

Your phone should get unlocked instantly when reaching 100%. Press reboot phone.

PS: If you still having trouble you can create as many mi accounts as you want and try the different steps again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] luminouche:
Hi

Not working, created new account, added it to my new Redmi Note 5 for unlock, all step done, but had the 360 hours to wait message at the end.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] NetDwarf:
Unlock process gets to 99% and then "Current account is not bound to this device" message. If I do that I have to enter my phone number.

Does it matter if I have a SIM inserted?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] NetDwarf:
Ok, after chasing the magic unicorn and 8 accounts later I can say that I have my doubts that it is possible with any of these methods.

You really have to wait 15 days to unlock. This really lowers the value of this phone a lot.

PS.: You need the (official) Dev ROM (global/chinese doesn't matter I guess) so that you can maybe unlock it in 15 days. Otherwise you get the "Current account is not bound to this device" no matter what you do.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] amine4ever:
No it supposed to work instantly, make another mi account and try again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] amine4ever:
I know the pain that's why i shared my experience. Lol

For your previous question it doesn't matter to have the sim card or not.

Other than that my friend got a new vince phone and unlocked it with those steps after 3 attempts with 3 different accounts. The third account made him meet the magic unicorn. :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] AkashAlien:
voila its working with first attempt,thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] NetDwarf:
What was the message in the other two attempts? [MENTION=1698040]amine4ever[/MENTION]
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] amine4ever:
Do you have some tip we can add to the steps?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] amine4ever:
The error was that it has to wait some days before he can unlock it. And he bypassed it with new account.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] NetDwarf:
Hmm, I always get the "Current account is not bound to this device" message if I dont bind it.

PS.: Is it possible that you need an old main/first account?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] AkashAlien:
no i just used my old account,it came up with error:wait 360 days,created a new acc,bind device, tried unlock,worked

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

try flashing developer rom ,
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] NetDwarf:
I already use the dev ROM otherwise I wouldn't even be able to bind the account.

I guess the problem is that you need an old account for this method.

PS.: Btw the method described here is without binding if I understand it correctly, but I tried it with and without.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] AkashAlien:
without binding it doesnt work, u need to bind it and locate device in mi site
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] NetDwarf:
Yeah ok, that is what I did because I had to. I just can't get over the 360h cap and it gets reset every time I change account.

How old is the first/main account you are using, [MENTION=4859596]AkashAlien[/MENTION]?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Crom4rtie:
having the same problem, if i try it with a secondary account it says not bound, tried everything in this post
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] NetDwarf:
To get to the 360h wait you need to bind your account. If you get the 86006 error you probably need to use one of the dev ROMs (Global or Chinese).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Crom4rtie:
Thanks, i fixed it by using a older version of mi unlock and with a second account
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] HRSE:
Care to share your Mi Unlock app?

EDIT: IT WORKS!

I used the old version miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10 (link https://www.xiaomigeek.com/download-mi-flash-unlock-tool.html) instead of the latest 3.3.525.23.

Other than that, just follow the steps from OP.

No need binding.

Old ver of mi unlock doesn't check for binding (although it still asks to login - use the new account to login to mi unlock)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] AkashAlien:
i used the old version as well, it works guys, no need to wait 15 days, i tried with my old acc, got error:need to wait 360h, then created a new acc, binded it, unlock, done

Sorry to sound a div, but what is the purpose of unlocking it?? (when i boot up my device it says unlocked and it has a padlock open symbol) it is a redmi 5 plus (but the chinese version with a global ROM) it says 'vince' (when i check via LTE discovery) i receive updates OTA etc, but can't check if i can use band 20? any tips? sorry if this is all over the place..oh and it's MEE7 (not MET7 or MEG7) will i be hampered in getting MIUI 10?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] HRSE:
For me, I unlock to use TWRP and Magisk. If you don't need them then just ignore this topic.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] seedaripper:
Ah, so you unlock it for TWRP and for installation of ROM apks? (i thought that was done via just rooting?)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] HRSE:
I follow this method to root https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76512717&postcount=18

If you know any other root method that doesn't require unlocking bootloader, please share.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Mubasher96:
In older phones there were methods to achieve root without unlocking boot loader. But in this device the only method for root is by unlocking bootloader. So achieve even root you do need unlocked bootloader. Plus you can flash custom ROMs as well.
