Hi,

Does anyone know how to force EDL 9008 mode on the essential ph-1. Through fastboot the command reboot-edl does not put it into edl. Also attaching D+ and Gnd during power on of the USB cable also does not work. Was hoping someone knows the secret to forcing the phone into this mode.

Thanks

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hellgod12:
As I said in my post, I tried fastboot reboot-edl commands and it just reboots into normal mode. I also built the special usb type C cable that has a switch to gnd D+ on bootup to try and force the mode. I was looking for alternatives.

Thanks

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hellgod12:
I have since tried to do

reboot-emergency

reboot-recovery

reboot-EDL

All these commands simple make the phone reset like normal. There has to be a way to force emergency download mode on this essential phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mouraj2:
Hello

As I said in your previous publication, follow these steps:

Before you connect the phone to the cable, enter fastboot mode

Plug the phone into the cable Connect the black and green wire with some and do not separate them

In the phone scroll to the reboot bootloader and press the power button

The phone will turn off and switch to EDL mode

Then connect the phone to the normal cable means without shorts

If the phone is running in bootloader mode, try again

I hope you succeed in the process

I also will not give up and will try to fix the phone in eBay mode

Your phone must be different. I can do the exact same thing and my phone never goes to edl, it goes back to powered by android.

In edl mode

OK, I put my ph-1 essential in EDL mode by shorting the black and green wire just like in the youtube; Device Manager shows "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9003 (COM3)" under "Ports (COM & LPT)"

Am I really in EDL mode and if the answer is yes - now what I do?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dmc123:
why do you want to do in the 9008 mode? do you mean you can flash rome rom in 9008 mode?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ant9n:
Yes, the phone is softbricked in bootloop and unless there is a way to force flashing in fastboot this seems like the way to go.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] WiseLance:
I Successfully entered edl. Thanks.

What do I do next?

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] vipseifer:
Do you guys have 9008 rom to flash via EDL?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lesterf:
The only way to flash anything in 9008 mode is to have the PH-1 programmer files, which have not been released or leaked.

If your phone is under warranty, Essential might help you (they seem to be helping people who got bricked while updating Q beta).

Some advice, please?

Any chance you could provide me with some sort of instructions or direction? I've tried several different versions of QPST to no avail now. On the advice of a redditor, I was directed to try the CLI version of emmcdl but I can't even find a windows compatible build of this.

I have nothing against exploring/reading/learning but it sucks not being able to even start. I'd love to know if I'm even just on the right track.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lth0320:
Further Advise Needed!

My Essential Phone is a hard brick now with no response at all (no logo, no light..). And when I connect it with my computer, it is recognized as 9008 immediately, I downloaded your file and fill them in the QFIL, but every time I click the "Download" button, the sound of USB devices unplugged appears, and it fails all the time with an information that goes

ERROR: function: rx_data:247 Error occurred while reading from COM port

ERROR: function: sahara_main:983 Sahara protocol error

ERROR: function: main:320 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed

Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Fail:Process fail

I have no idea why these arise, since I am confident the driver was installed correctly. I even suspect that is it even the real 9008 mode? I'd appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to flash this ROM, tks!

umm, time for a new phone? less aggravation anyway
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aleph23:
So, This is a bit late, but I believe I'm the reddidiot in question. And the CLI prog I recommended was fh_loader.exe -- preceded by a few QFIL fails so that you have some logs to read, plus every additional bit documentation you can find. And note: logs are stored in two locations (programData and AppData).

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
....fastboot --set active=a or b...depending on what your current active slot is.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zyf0330:
You can try another way if it doesn't work.

Flash script inside factory image use `fastboot update` to flash, but it is not complete. Some imgs are not flashed and you will boot into red code screen after flash some version images. You need flash all img manually except userdata. This is a shell script from other people, it does same thing.

#!/usr/bin/zsh

set -euo pipefail

./flash-base.sh

function flashAll() {
slot=$1
fastboot set_active $slot
for img in *.img; do
if [[ $img = bootloader*.img || $img = radio*.img || $img = userdata* ]]; then
echo not flashing $img!!!
elif [[ $img = system_other.img ]]; then
fastboot flash --slot other system $img
else
fastboot flash ${img%*.img} $img
fi
done
}

flashAll a
flashAll b

Hello all.

Im sorry if this topic has already been adressed on forums.

I always found my stock N950F -ZTO significant slower than my XZ premium on LTE speeds on Vivo network (XZ always got double the speed on download/upload), until june that I decided to flash the TPA rom (I think it was the first Oreo to be released) and to my surprise the LTE speeds were on par (or even better) with the Sony.. humm, who cares I tought on the time. Last month Ive had to send the Note8 back to Samsung for a screen replacement, and It came back with the latest ZTO Brazilian Oreo version, and voilà, LTE speeds down to the hole.. hummm something is not right.

Why not try the latest XSG XEF? And my suspects were comfirmed - On both versions, a clean install, without fully changing to ZTO (XEF/XEF/ZTO), gives me the full LTE speeds, on the other hand, changing the CSC to Brazil, speed is reduced by half (I think carrier aggregation is disabled).

Why Samsung would do it ot its actual flagship (note 9 was note releasead here yet) ?

Has anyone experienced something like that?

Regards!:)

I just flashed using ur link and i'm still getting all the Verizon bloatware and loading screen after the phone reset. Did I do something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cloudraker:
I dont know if im the best person to offer a possible solution, but i do have a thought. I remember back on the Nexus 6, it didnt come with any carrier bloat, BUT, if when you powered it on the first time, if your SIM was in the phone, it automatically installed all the carrier bloat. Obviously, that was a different phone and manufacturer, but it might be worth a shot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perseus83:
I took the sim out before I even turned the phone on. I bought it in full thru Verizon but since the phone I unlocked i'm using it with cricket. I just wanna get rid of all the Verizon stuff. The loading screen that comes on when u turn ur phone on and off and all the other bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badger101:
Did you use home csc or CSC. CSC will wipe to factory, home will preserve the data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perseus83:
I used CSC since it said it would wipe it. After my phone reset and I got the green pass in Odin, everything was still there the only difference was a US Celluar app but everything Verizon was still there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badger101:
And you had the BL ap CP and the CSC (Not home_CSC) all there? I just did it on my phone and it was reset to completely factory no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perseus83:
Yep!!! Everything was put in correctly. I even got the green pass in Odin. The bloatware is just still there. That's what I wanna get rid of. After the reset I even had to go thru setting up the phone again but everything Verizon was still there. I'm using cricket so that sim card is in the phone. Is it because my phone is Sm-N960U and not SM-N960U1?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badger101:
Did you by chance try it without the sim card installed? I took the other person's advice and took the sim card out. I setup the phone and then put the sim card back in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perseus83:
Yep. The first time I flashed the firmware I had no sim card in it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] badger101:
And you used the same files posted to this thread and the odin that was posted as well? Otherwise I don't know why it didn't flash it correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perseus83:
I used everything as it was intended to be used. Does the Sm-n960u and Sm-n96u1 make a difference? mines is Sm-n960u
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Obviously it DID NOT flash the FW properly. You would not have any bloatware if it did. Try it again.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] redsky0:
I've got a rooted v30 that I soft bricked by installing an app that hides the navigation bar - now my system UI crashes on startup.

I can't even swipe / fingerprint to unlock. adb detects phone when I boot up into my soft bricked mode but it says device unauthorized presumably because I haven't passed security on my phone.

I'm trying to get into TWRP so I can reflash an image but can't seem to do so. I can get into fastboot or download mode but adb doesn't see the device.

EDIT - I can run fastboot reboot bootloader from console when in fastboot mode but just reboots it into fastboot.

Any ideas? Thanks.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Well no need to lock bootloader back. You can still have TWRP and root.

Rooting isn't just about about ROMs. It's a philosophy about OWNING your property, in this case your phone. So, all you've done now is give control back to the OEM/carrier.

why not just use wm5storage, with the softick card export drivers. it allows you to use ur device as a usb mass storage device
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] blue_94_trooper:
For all practical purposes TransFlash and MicroSD are the same. However, with the free shipping that 1GB card from Supermediastore makes much more sense. (I've bought a bunch of stuff from them, they're very reliable.)

edit: I see now that you're only looking for the adapter. The CC one should work fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] VooDoo1:
An SD adapter will work. You can just go get it and try it out and if for some reason it doesnt work..take it back to CC.

Softick Card Export

I use Softick Card Export and it works great. It basically makes your phone a microSD card reader and shows up as a removable device in windows. It's not free but $15 isn't bad.

http://softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/

Beware of this card!:( I have the 2GB version and it is SLOW (in the phone and with the adapter). It is a class 2 = minimum 2mb/s transfers.

Go with something like this or this that is much faster. We're talking ~9-12mb/s

I've tried it on my Note 9 snapdragon version and it works for the front and back camera, but portrait mode doesn't work on either front or back (freezes up). It does seem quicker than the Gcam mod I had on my S8+, but that could be the snapdragon processor and 8gb or RAM I have...
