Hello,

I recently purchased a new Razer Phone 1, Model: RZ35-0215. I was having some issues getting my sim card to work after updating to android 9.0, so I decided to download the factory image from the razer website and flash it back to 7.1.1 when my sim card worked fine. Unfortunately, while flashing it, my usb cable got pulled out of my computer on accident. Since that happened, the phone was unresponsive so I decided to do a hard restart, boot back into download mode or bootloader mode and reflash the firmware. After it shut down it never “restarted”, the screen just stayed completely black. My computer recognized it in device manager as qusb_hub or something rather. After looking up the hardware ID numbers and downloading/installing the correct drivers it now reads as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 also known as EDL mode. After doing some extensive research I found out that when the cable was removed during the flashing process, it somehow corrupted the internal partition table and now I need to flash over a firehose/configuration file to fix the partition tables using Qualcomm's QFIL/QPST application. I was hoping that maybe someone here might be able to help? I created a ticket with razer support but figured asking here couldn't hurt.

Anyone else run into this issue and get it fixed?

I’ve been a PC tech for 10 years so I’m quite tech savvy, so anything needed on my end I would be happy to provide.

Thanks

Unfortunately this is a hard brick and there is no publicly available files in which to recover it. (Sometimes even internally it can't be fixed)

I'm afraid repair is the only option here.
Damn I'm sad to hear that, the phones less than a month old even, what a shame. Thank You for the info
