Hello everyone, my asus zenfone 6 bricked yesterday. It is completely black. When i connect it to pc, it is showing in pc as qdloader 9008. It is not charging. And always remain in EDL mode. I tried button combos but nothing happened it just blink screen for a nano second. I tried to flash update_update _edl.bat script. It flashes everytime but I can't go into bootload.

Is there any QFIL rom which i can flash on it. I can see `prog_firehose_ddr.elf` file but not a .mbn file. Kindly help if anyone know..Thank you

I'm having the exact same error, has anyone found a solution to this?

I've tried using test mode and a bunch of other solutions online but nothing seems to work. It's driving me crazy, any help would be much appreciated.

did u enable debug mode yourself? im not seeing buffers in hex as u

uninstall any edl driver related software you might have installed

try uninstalling the driver from "manage devices", also tick "delete software related to this driver"

nect the device, run windows update and see if an additional driver update is available

log says it can't initiate a connection to device

i would try to

- try last time with another pc with windows 10 (im saying windows 10 because windows update might detect which edl mode your phone is into and then install the proper edl driver; your phone might not be in 9008 mode but in some other broken edl service mode)

-testpoint method (see attachment) u need to disconnect battery, bridge two points with a conductor and then connect to pc. phone might be in some broken edl service mode

- send it to repair

Hi, thanks for suggesting but my bad I did not mention details properly, after android 11 update I got 2 options one was android 11 did not install correctly and second was do it later I chooses do it later felt can take the backup of phone and after connecting to pc and copying some files it went to dead mode with nothing working no power keys no volume no bootloader nothing so after reading about it I did a test points method but did not remove battery to bring the phone back in Qualcomm 9008 mode and then tried flash edl methods.

Will try on another system again.

Namaste!

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] bythelaw:
install the tool, locate the edl extracted folder in the tool's browser, refresh to see if your device is detected. if yes, flash, get accurate errors which is easy to fix if you read the error. if not detected, then try rebooting while connected and hit refresh every second till the phone reaches fastboot/stuck screen. if still not detected, try using edl reboot commands in fastboot, try connecting to a laptop and reboot the laptop, swiftly connect from laptop to main flashing pc, might get detected(what worked for me). drivers are most important, com3 and 9008 and stuff much important

Hey guys,

Can this method be done for Realme 3 pro too? please help me.

i can’t access anything. i am just stuck in loop where it shows “The current boot/recovery is destroyed and the device cannot boot”. I was able to access the fastboot mode earlier but somehow i ended up at some xda thread where somebody told to try locking the bootloader and i did so. i messed up real bad and now my device doesn’t respond to anything. i went to the realme service center and even they were not able to do anything. When my device was soft bricked, i tried flashing .ofp file via the Realme flash tool but it didn’t work. So, will it work now? i dont know when you will reply to this but i am f*cked up real bad. please help me

Hi, just wanted to ask if this will work on any qualcomm 9008 device? I have a Vivo y51l. Flashing its firmware via qfil gives error that write to sector 32768 failed . I suspect my emmc partitions are messed up.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] HTC_FUZE:
Finally I unbricked my phone by using edl cable. For some reason my phone is stuck at 900E diagnostic mode instead of 9008 emergency download mode. I made an edl cable myself, plug in phone to the computer by shorting data+ to GND for 10-15s and then unshort the wires. Immediately computer change the port to 9008 mode com4. Then I run the script update_image_edl successfully. Phone rebooted to fastboot mode automatically. After that, I run script install_aft.cmd, ola, my phone is back to life!
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] YouNasty:
What if you get this?

My phone does not show any output on the LCD. But when you hold down the power and volume down it seems to restart.

When plugged in it shows this.

I downloaded and installed the latest Qualcomm EDL software but my pc shows it as this.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
When you initially upgraded to 3.35, did you let the Sprint customizations run by accident?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sandy Korda:
Negative. I pushed my stylus into the reset port prior to the Custom Install 3-2-1- count down.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
We are aware of the DMU public key issue. It usually gets wiped when people who are not Sprint users have updated their PRI to Sprint's 2.03 PRI (part of customizations). When you flashed back to stock, RadioRefurbish.sa.cab was installed as part of Verizon's customizations reverting you back to the Verizon PRI, though it clears the DMU public key in EPST. The DMU public key, located in EPST under M.IP Default Profile, is a public key which authenticates to Verizon's AAA server upon connecting to #777, and writes the AAA Shared Secret and HA Shared Secret private encrypted keys in EPST also under M.IP Default Profile.

Go into EPST by dialing ##778, choose Edit, enter SPC 000000, and then select M.IP Default Profile. There should be encrypted values in those 3 fields. Are they blank? If so, the DMU reset did not work. Also check the HDR AN AUTH Password field under the Security tab in EPST. That too should have an encrypted value. If it's blank too, the DMU public key still hasn't been reset.

You can manually reset the DMU public key, but can't through EPST. QPST must be used with the phone in DMR to write the key to the proper directory.

This is incorrect. The Verizon carrier cab does not write EPST values, nor does it reset the DMU public key.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ebb:
Since its worked for me over a dozen times, I guess you are correct and know more than anyone else. Give it a rest!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sandy Korda:
Perhaps... but, we were having the Data Connection Error along with the repeated missing Password issue even AFTER we upgraded (and before we went back to the OEM settings).

Since going back to the original format, we even attempted to connect after adding a new modem connection... with no luck.

I ##778'ed and made the changes to the settings, saved, reset and STILL - the problems persisted.

I'll share your comments with the service tech.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
maybe you guys mean 2 different things. the verizon cab sets up ##PST(send) shortcut to launch EPST.

it does not write any values accessed via EPST, it does not run radiorefurbish, it does not load PRI, and it does not touch DMU key, HA, AAA, etc.

well, obviously your problem lies within non volatile provisioning as it carries over between flashes.

i think your answer lies in gcincotta's previous post. the dmu reset maybe did not really take.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sandy Korda:
Actually, as I posted my comment from work... and had to attend to some other matters, I had no idea anyone had replied as quickly to my posting! I was late in responding in a rapid fashion to Gcincotta's missive. (Someone beat me to it.) My comment was NOT meant as a slighted response to Ebb's observant perspective... regardless of how it may read. Out of context, it presents as such, yet - I never intended my utterances to ever have been disrespectful.

My sincere apologies if they were.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
its all good i just want you to try what he posted :)

there are further steps that will restore your service if we know this is the problem..

__________________

Have done the above... and noticed that - according to your observations - the DMU must not be catching, as the HDR AN AUTH Password - under the Security option is STILL missing... as are TWO (not Three) fields under the M.I.P. Default Profile: HA Shared Secret and AAA Shared Secret... both of same are still blank.

According the Ian, the switch was reset yesterday - and the Network issue was believed to have been corrected - since we were then able to receive the MMS messages, when previously - we were not able to.

The same problem existed with the two previous devices - obtained from the same location... and could possibly be from the same production lot. If there were a production error, it is more than likely that it would/could have ended up in this group. The replacement device due in tomorrow is coming from a totally different location. If it is problem-free, it might suggest that this section of Vermont received a bad "batch".

Thusly, we're hoping the new unit may prove this theory out. If the new device should hold not only the password, but also be able to access thee internet and email via a network connection, as well as via WiFi, then we have a clean device to re-load the upgrade as you suggest.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I'm sorry, I was at work when I first posted and didn't realize my error. The DMU public key shouldn't be blank, it should be set to 10, whether it was reset or not, it never goes away. However, you know you have a bad public key when it is not writing the HA Shared Secret, AAA Shared Secret, and HDR AN AUTH Password, as you've stated these are blank.

There is a way (through service programming) to manually reset your DMU public key. I see you're expecting a new device so hopefully that will fix your issue, as the DMU public key on it should be valid. Just for future reference though, WiFi is unaffected by DMU. I think you said in your original post that WiFi works but EVDO doesn't. That makes sense as the DMU public key is only needed to create a 3g connection via EVDO. WiFi doesn't connect via #777 and therefore needs no authentication.

Best of luck with the new device though, and keep us posted.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sandy Korda:
The DMU public key (PKOID) IS set to "10" - as you just mentioned. The only items blank are the HA and AAA Shared Secrets. And, that of the HDR AN AUTH and PPP Passwords (under Security).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Yup...dmu key isn't doing its job. It writes the PPP password as well, but I didn't bother including it in the post as that's only used for the older dial up data connection.

If your dmu key is properly reset on that device (or is healthy on your new device), those 4 fields should be filled with encrypted data.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MstaCDLite:
I am having similar issues with my phone. I checked the settings mentioned and my phone does have encrypted values in the fields. is there a resolution if the phone does have the encrypted passwords? My phone is running the same radio and rom.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
If your DMU key is writing the encrypted values, then it is not a DMU key issue.

My advice to you would be for you to *228 option 1, then try and connect. If it says check username and password, go into Connections and Manage Existing Connections, and manually put in your10digitphonenumber@vzw3g.com for username and vzw for password, leave domain blank, set it to save password, and try to connect again.

If this fails, it also could be an issue on their end. Sometimes Verizon's computers go funky and they need to remove the data package from your account and re-add it. So if the above 2 steps fail, call them and have them do that.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sandy Korda:
As I mentioned in my original musing, a chap in the Tech Support department at Verizon's "Midnight Tech Crew" was MOST helpful when I first opened this forum. Ian Chamberlain (at Extension #2837) has been my "go to guy" of choice, as his old school commitment to customer service (satisfaction) is not only refreshing, but personally helpful as well...! That said, he not only assisted me in setting up my NEW (not refurbed) device, but also discovered (after doing some deep level research) that although another tech had made the usual switch flips, key punches and button pushes... something just wasn't Kosher... and took it upon himself to do it all over, once again. Wouldn't you know it - it made the difference! We even back tracked... and reactivated my original device - just to see if the settings were the actual culprit... and wouldn't you know it - it too was working good as new!

I'm sending the new unit back, as it wasn't needed, after all.

Talk about a Tech guy willing to stay with a customer until he (or she) is completely satisfied...!! When I offered to keep working WOW! I know Verizon is proactive to their customer's needs, but - this guy goes well beyond the usual call of duty. He even offered to stay with me while I upgraded my Radio, and installed the newest ROM... just to make sure everything was working to my satisfaction! Now, if ALL of Verizon's crew was like that... it in and of itself is enough of a reason to stay with the company!

Oh yeah, the service is right up there, too!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Yeah Sandy, the dmu key was probably not being reset correctly by the other rep. When Ian properly reset it, it worked fine.

I'm glad you got a rep that was willing to help so much...so far I haven't come in contact with anyone from VZW support like that.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sandy Korda:
Ian and I were speculating that perhaps I was continually being given devices that were out of a "bad batch" and had some software issue in them... so he arranged to have a NEW device sent from another location (Texas)... for a NextDay/Saturday delivery! Serious bite of change to ensure customer satisfaction!

I know you're with "the Other company"... but, in all fairness, you too - have been equally as helpful - to many of us, as we attempt to not brick our devices in our valiant desires to upgrade and flash anew! Such levels of end-user dedication is not often seen nor experienced in the world of today's "Instant Gratification Generation".

Clearly, two cool breezes in the hot sweltering days of Summer!

Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Lol, what do you mean "the Other company?"
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sandy Korda:
No offense. I just thought you were with... uhm, er, I mean, like... "Sprint". You know, "The Other Guys".
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MstaCDLite:
those steps didnt work for me... In addition to the problems that I have been having with the connection, my signal strength most of the time shows 0-2 bars of strength. I'm in a good location that has great service, but the phone hangs around 0 or 1 bars. I did not have any connectivity issues until I first upgraded the Radio to version 3.27. I didnt realize there was a newer one so I went to 3.35. before the Radio upgrade my connections were fine.

Are there any steps that you had to take with this verizon tech that helped? I have done countless resets, removing the battery, reconnect attempts, PST tweaks, etc. and still no luck... and then once in a while it will connect and then stay connected to the data for a few hours until it randomly disconnects again and cant log on.

help has been greatly appreciated...

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
What rom are you using?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MstaCDLite:
I am using n2c 5067 ROM...

I resolved the issue myself! This is what I did...

Lucky for me I had my old 6700, I went into MyAccount online and activated that one, took the battery out of the 6800, Went back to MyAccount and reactivated the 6800, put the battery in, did *228, took the battery out again, booted it back up, set up a new dial-up networking profile (called it My Connection, used #777, username 7digitnumber@vzw3g.com, password vzw, set it as the default connection) and zing! I’m back in action. My data connection is on, strong and GPS works... What a PITA!

Hope others can use this method if they cant figure it out like me...

And honestly I dont know what made me do those steps, but I was shocked it worked. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] worthingtonmedic38:
Just thought I'd add my current experience in here. I have been using DCD's 3.2.1 with my XV6800. My camera developed an issue (Plus sign in the picture as if a camera pixel was bad or something) so i decided to go back to the stock Verizon ROM before talking to tech support. Flashed back, talked with tech support about the camera, they are shipping me a new one.

After flashing the stock radio i had the typical authentication error, called in and got it taken care of, but my data hasn't worked since flashing stock. I'm getting the error code 11 / PPP error. I updated to 2 different radios and 3 different DCD ROMs which had worked great for me in the past, still no data.

I finally settled with radio 3.42.30 and DCD 3.2.2, still no data and now my wifi is kicking me off as well. I tried installing Verizon's WirelessSync just for kicks but no change.

I checked the espt settings noted above and i also have blanks in all the wrong spots.

I will try the above ideas today or tomorrow and report back.

You guys amaze me and crack me up all at the same time, I glance through the titan forum about every night. Thanks for helping us normal tech challenged folk out!
