Finally... unbrick your Lumia device QHSUSB_DLOAD without JTAG

And THE WAIT IS OVER ... after almost two months without telephone, as this has happened to me in February, with the help of you... have achieved UNBRICK LUMIA DEVICES WITHOUT JTAG ONLY WITH USB. Thank you, thank infinitely.

Warning: use this tutorial at your own risk, I do not responsible of anything. To me it worked.

05/25/2015
Simple method:

Yesterday update to WPRT 2.10 was released, which is able to fix DLOAD scenarios for lumias.
Here is the link.

--------------------------------------
If this does not work, try the advanced method:

Let's to the steps:
Attachment files in the same thread.

1) Install Thor2 (incluiding on WPRT): http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=525569
2) Download your firmware lumia with NaviFirm
3) Install Drivers
4) Go to the folder where it is thor 2 from cmd (run administrator)
cd C:...

Use this command line to extract gtp0.bin from ffu image

Code:

thor2 -mode ffureader -ffufile "C:\rm-914\XXX.ffu" -dump_gpt -filedir C:\dump

this command will create gpt0.bin and rename it as msimage.mbn

mine was F771E62AF89994064F77CD3BC16829503BDF9A3D506D3FACECAEF3F808C868FD so my hex file in binary format was F771E62AF89994064F77CD3BC16829503BDF9A3D.bin

convert this binary file to hex using bin2hex.exe

Code:

bin2hex F771E62AF89994064F77CD3BC16829503BDF9A3D.bin HEX.hex

open .hex file in notepad
insert :020000042A00D0 in first line
and :040000052A000000CD before the last line

or
Hex files already created starting in the bin, use RESPONSIBLY depending on your Lumia device

https://mega.co.nz/#!A4903TYT!YeAiCZSrRVrKhOp8CAOF5z0ULtcfyvxuXqhZA1SA5iQ

Now you have HEX.hex and msimage.mbn

the use this command line

Code:

thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile HEX.hex -mbnfile msimage.mbn -orig_gpt

Ready, disconnect the battery and reconnect. Now connect your phone to the PC
Yeah, his phone started life with red screen!
Charge the battery

5) Flash rom: Now, in the case of Lumia 520/521

Code:

thor2.exe -mode vpl -maxtransfersizekb 1 -vplfile C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-915\XXX.vpl

.VPL remember it is not ffu. After the process 100%, your device turn with green screen, and:

Code:

thor2 -mode rnd -bootnormalmode

:highfive:

Some versions of Lumia, especially Lumia 820, 920, 920T, 925, 1020 (several models) have different .HEX, attached in the correct thread files ''CorrectedHexFiles.zip''

there is mbn file in the ffu

issw_ape_MSM_v1.mbn

but I don't know if it is the same

you have extracted ffu using 7-Zip ? is that right ?

either with thor2 or with imgmount

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

from thor2 manual I see that it can flash the bin or mbn files
I tried that once, but later today I will try it again and post here

as for the mbn file i mentioned, I think it is too small to be the one.

I can see that also, but the hope to find something is still present :fingers-crossed:

but, I notice that when thor2 is started in emergency mode, and I provide any mbn file, the error is

Code:

QUATTRO EMERGENCY FLASH START
Quattro Emergency Programmer version 2014.11.25.001
ED download selected
Failed to load XML configuration file
Quattro emergency flash exited with error code 85000
QUATTRO EMERGENCY FLASH END
Emergency messaging closed successfully
Operation took about 6.00 seconds.

THOR2_EMERGENCYFLASHV1_ERROR_XML_PARSING_FAILED

THOR2 1.8.2.15 exited with error code 85000 (0x14C08)

also from the WMI file I see buld info:

Code:

collins_engine_8227/PRx_engine_integration

which indicates to me that emergency programming should be done with

Code:

 -protocol streaming

but I always get error THOR2_ERROR_NO_SAHARA_HANDSHAKE
how to change the emergency protocol?

did you read it?

Please do try to recover and share your results.

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

comparing
8960_msimage.mbn
to
GPT.bin
(extracted with thor2 -mode ffureader -ffufile "...ffu" -dump_partitions -filedir c:\temp)

they seem similar in contents

is this the mbn file? I still can't find hex file

WojtasXda · Apr 18, 2015

Nokia uses own Sahara implementation, called "FireHose" , which will NOT work with QPST. And not open mass storage mode. And MSM image is also not usable for repair. Funny, isn't it?

and is that mean we can run MStorage mode on samsung and HTC ?

UEFI loader can run phone in MassStorage mode, engineering ROMs have unlocked this option

PD: I updated the theard to current information, thanks.

I don't know if it's me, but the fact that the phone seems to be in download mode indicates that we should be able to flash any kind of thing on it, surpassing the signature checks. Am I right?

if your phone is locked on the red screen yes it's download mode .
but if you mean you can bypass sign check in this mode ? I think no.
It's nothing else than one NOKIA Care Suite loads .
If you try to flash your phone using NCS you see this screen but it starts flashing phone in a little while .

No. I mean the black screen. It looks like it's some Qualcomm's (very low level) flashing mode. I would say it will swallow everything you feed it.

Everything you need is a Qualcomm MSM device ?
OK lets hold vol up key and turn your phone on and don't release vol up while you see a gear + a thunder .

I'm telling you the phone is completely and absolutely dead. All I see is a QHSUSB_DLOAD device when I plug it into a computer. But the screen never shows anything.

ah I really forget it , sorry .
QHSUSB_DLOAD is different . I don't know about that .

Finally... unbrick your Lumia device QHSUSB_DLOAD without JTAG
