Theoretical it is possible to recover a bricked Qualcomm Phone, just like ZUK Z2 Pro via this method. If you do this for the first time you'll need to download some tools.

With downloading and installing the tools this procedure will take about 10-30 minutes (differs depending on how powerful your computer is)

Without downloading and installing the tools this procedure will take about 5 minutes.

does it work with an unlocked rooted zuk z2 pro with rom RRO 6.1.0 ?

Old thread, but I´ll try anyway.... my phone isn´t bricked, but I cannot get into it since my son forgot his screen password... When I turn off the phone, hold vol- and connect the phone, the phone powers into bootloader menu and it is not recognized by QFIL. Any ideas how to solve?

Use this to get your phone into EDL if phone is bricked

My phone was bricked. To get it to connect via the correct port i followed this video tutorial using aluminum foil - and it worked! using ZUK Z2_plus - but it may also work with PRO.

I couldn't get any of the key combos to work - and due to the brick state also couldn't use any of the ADB or fastboot commands.

Connect your phone to your PC in EDL mode:
