sahara protocol fail in QFIL

[Sharkattackp]

so i havent had any luck posting in other thread and since so many people are asking about this error i thought having its own thread may get some help. I bricked my letv x800 when the rooted phone failed to install a custom rom, stop half way through with corrupted file msg then went dead. I used w w w droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/ and followed the steps there but for the life i me i cannot get past this step of dl using qfil. I am hoping someone on the boards can give me some idea i spent a week trying to find a way to get past this step and all i find is others stuck on same step with no solution.

Here is the log file of the process. Using Win 7 pro. I got the latest drivers for qfil installed and it finds the phone and asigns the port ok. I just cant download the protocol

I had the same issue when i first bricked my x800 and the problem was that the bootloader was locked somehow. I unlocked then everything went smooth. I don't know if this is the issue here with you.

 

[Sharkattackp]

how do i unlock the bootloader?

 

[Sharkattackp]

from what i can find to unlock bootloaded you need to install stuff onto the phone, atm i cant do that.

You do it trough adb and fastboot. You don't have to install anything onto the phone. Just put the phone in fastboot mode, then connect to adb and write : fastboot oem unlock

when the phone is bricked there is no such thing as fastboot..

the program didn't fuction but managed to install drivers that enabled to qfil to go further in the process but still failed..

[Sharkattackp]

[twd123]

in the link that i send you it shows the process to change to english.

 

[twd123]

i did it ! yeah
install the drivers that come with that program
go to the folder that has the rom, click on its properties- permissions and select full acess
while with qfil open, hold the volume down on the smarthphone and connect it to the pc.only release the volume- when you hear 3 windows sounds(one sound when you connect and two after 15 seconds) . start download and then you are set.
after this process your phone will be alive, but will have only 10gb so you have to follow the process in page 3 of topic "hard brick fix"
hope it helps
have a good day
