Hi guys sadly I completely softbricked my motorola X40 phone i'm a idiot.
I flashed to a wrong firmware file (edge 30 pro) and re-locked bootloader then found it phone doesn't properly boot anymore.
I can boot it in fastboot mode but flashing in normal fastboot mode doesn't work with locked bootloader and lenovo rescue tool can't help me either.
Edit: Weirdly I managed to boot it up and it shows as a "motorola edge 30 pro" and I can control my screen with a USB mouse.
But when I try to enable "OEM unlocking" in developer options the settings app just crashes.
But my problem stays the same, i'm still stuck with a locked bootloader
Is there any chance to trick this phone into EDL mode or any working blankflash?
Any suggestions? i'd appreciate it

It doesn't matter if the oem lock is on to flash the stock firmware.
You can directly flash the right firmware via fastboot. Lenovo rescue tool may not flash...

Hi thanks for the response, how to flash directly stock firmware? which method should I use? This is what I get when I try to flash anything through adb (phone in fastboot mode) I added a screenshot from adb in windows and took a picture from my phone to show in which fastboot mode it shows.
Tried several things flashing directly from adb but it always says permission denied because of the bootloader lock, maybe i'm doing something wrong.
It's not adb, it's fastboot mode.
Where you are is right.
It will be in the mode in the screenshot of the device, that's right.
Use the one in the file i gave you.
Here are the guidelines.
01. Download the latest Firmware from lolinet
02. We extract the firmware.zip, open servicefile.xml and copy the contents into this website
03. Download the mfastboot.rar ADB i gave and put it in the rom folder you extracted.
04. We put the flashfile.bat we created (Step 02. Extract, open servicefile.xml and copy the content to this site) into the rom folder you extracted.
05. Reboot your phone into fastboot (adb reboot fastboot or press and hold Power + Volume Down)
06. Everything is ready, click on the ''flashfile.bat'' file.
07. Don't disconnect the phone until the update has finished.

Hi thanks for helping me, I downloaded the right firmware, uploaded the servicefile.xml to the site you gave me and created the flashfile.bat. Pasted the flashfile.bat into the samen folder as the rom and also extracted the mfastboot.rar into the same rom folder.
Then clicked on the flashfile.bat but sadly I get the same error's (Permission Denied)
My phone is still in fastboot mode (right screenshot)
Any idea's?

Very interesting, it shouldn't give such an error. You are flashing Motorola signed images, you don't need the bootloader unlocked for this Sorry i can't be of more help, i hope you can recover your device...

Yea indeed well thanks anyway, my only hope left is a third party recovery tool that supports this phone in future.
I'll put the X40 in my closet until then and buy another new phone in the meanwhile don't have much of a choice lol.

Hello!
Did you try RSDLite tool to flash firmware?
Click to expand...

I tried but the issue is there that it doesn't detect the port / device on the RSDlite tool.
Meanwhile I can see in devicemanager in windows the phone is detected in ADB/fastboot mode but RSDlite tool needs some portmode to succeed, the tool says it doesn't detect my device. I can't seem to connect it with that port RSDlite tool needs, also tried general ADB drivers but didn't help either. I also saw in one topic to make it work with RSD tool you need to install the qualcomm drivers, but these drivers don't work with this phone in normal fastboot mode. In other words I can't seem to RSD tool recognise my phone on the needed port. I think this tool only works in EDL mode (+qualcomm driver) but my moto X40 doesn't yet support EDL mode I think.
https://androidmtk.com/use-rsd-lite-tool
=> I followwed this tutorial but @ Step nr.8 there isn't any port or device detected even when my phone is correctly in fastboot mode
I tried Generic ADB drivers and the official motorola USB drivers, both detected in devicemanager in windows but RSDtool lite didn't detect my phone.

I have the same problem, because I did the same thing hahaha, I tried these methods and nothing was successful, I tried to use Lenovo's RSA, but it only installs the correct firmware and Fastboot, but when it comes to rescuing it just has a "Warning" message.

Guess we are in the same boat loll xp having indeed the exact same message. I think the RSA tool detects the right device but it checks for some sort of keys/verification and sees it isn't the right firmware so it stops flashing.
I have found out you can also enter recovery mode by selecting "recovery" in fastboot mode with the key buttons.
Then you need to press power button + down key for 3 seconds, then short the volume up key.
Youll get a other menu with also fastboot mode and adb sideload etc...
but again sadly neither fastboot or adb sideload did work for me
When I tried to flash the original firmware in sideload mode trough ADB it gives a"verification error"
In fastboot mode it says that it can't flash with locked device
I hope this info will be any useful for people stumble upon this topic in the future and maybe help to unbrick this phone.

Hey man thanks for your response, sadly i'm on a 64bit windows 11 version. Would it be any different than the 64bit driver vs 32bit you think? Because have tried this several times can't get RSD lite detect my phone . In device manager it's detected first as "fastboot rtwo s" and when the moto 64bit driver is installed it's detected as "motorola ADB interface" so it's correctly detect by the system.
My phone is also in fastboot mode never the less RSD lite tool doesn't detect anything
Guess I could try to install windows 10 32bit i'll keep this updated

I also have 64 bit Win11 machine with RSD Lite installed and it can't detect phone.
But when I connect it to my old laptop(Win10-32 bit,RSD Lite) phone is detected instantly.
Try to find someone who has machine with 32 bit Windows and try to rescue your phone.

Just tried on my older 32bit computer with windows 10 and installed the 32bit driver for motorola. Sadly the issue is the same, RSD lite doesn't detect the moto x40. Where did you download the driver?
Motorola USB Driver for Windows 32-Bit/64-Bit - Driver Market
Download now the latest and official Motorola USB Driver for Windows. We shared the latest Motorola USB Driver for Windows.
www.drivermarket.net
Reinstall driver and restart PC(mandatory),it should work then.

Tried that too several times but thanks for the suggestion anyways.
Took my time also this evening to reinstall a clean windows 32bit version, installed 32bit moto driver again from your link.
Reboot, nope
Same issue, RSD lite doesn't detect anything while the driver and device is recognized in device manager whatever I tried last 2 weeks.
I also opened the phone and searched on the motherboard for EDL test points, no avail too.
I think the RSD tool lite or the usb driver needs a update for this device or someone needs to find out how to get this phone into EDL mode. This can take months maybe years who knows lol
I just gave up and bought myself a new phone (xiaomi 13)

Hi!
First off let me say thanks to R_a_z_v_a_n for redirecting me and hope that I'll find my answer here ^^
So I Have this device called HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA (not with Slate just HP 7 Voicetab), wanting to have a custom recovery then I tried to flash a CWM Custom Recovery for HP Slate 7 VoiceTab because I thought it was the same and ends up bricking my phone. It ends up in a bootloop which only shows HP sign for a few seconds and dead. But I managed to find out that I can access the recovery menu (or so I thought it is), but the options was choosing between Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and VART Mode.
I tried to enter Fastboot Mode before and tried to access it via PC but somehow I can't find the device by entering adb devices and fastboot devices. Anyways, I have downloaded a stock update.zip for it but not the original KitKat one which I get from the first time I bought it but rather the JB ones. I think by flashing this would help me recover the device but the only problem is I don't know which method should I use to Flash it. Since I don't have the Stock Recovery or ANY kind of recovery at all, I guess I'm stuck. And it won't start to the home page so I can't set the USB debugging options. Please guide me through this >.<
Thanks a lot!
Been fighting with it for 2 days now and still no result came.
So here's the update so far....
I tried on my other device in order to understand how my PC reads ADB and now I kinda gets it. But the problem is now can't get the device to enable USB Debugging because I can't access options at all.
Secondly, since I left it on for the night because charging seems to trigger the bootloop too, now I can't access the fastboot mode like I was last night. And it constantly repeating this sequence: [battery scene with the "charging battery" symbol] > [HP Powered by Android screen] repeated for 2-3 times > [low battery need charging screen] > repeat. And once I tried to connect to the PC, it goes to the same sequence too. When I tried to access the boot options (the screen which displays Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and UART Mode which I mention in Thread Starting post), it shows the low battery need charging scene and then repeating the same sequence as mentioned above.
I seem to figure out how to fix this but I still can't manage to access the fastboot mode yet. Will give update once I can try to.
Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks a lot!
Update!
Somehow with a little tweaking and stripping the device, I managed to solve the charging problems. Will update on this once my problem finished.
Jump out from the frying pan and into the fire so they say, I ran into another problem. Finally managed to get into fastboot mode, the devices manager reads it as an Android Device>ROMaster ADB device like the other device I tried to connect while in ADB mode and fastboot mode, but somehow CMD cannot read the device as an ADB device or a Fastboot device like the other device did. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and still nothing happens. I tried to find the usb_driver on the internet and it directs me to the update.zip instead. Trying to update the driver via Computer Management but it says the driver is up to date. Now thinking about making an emulator device based on the HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA but I really have no idea how to make one. Any one have any idea of what should I do next or can guide me through this? At least until the CMD can read the fastboot.
Thanks a lot!
I found my self in a deadlock!
PLEASE HELP :crying:
Could you unbrick yours
What service centre says about that problem i also ran in this problrm but i m trying to go to service centre for that

WARNING, THIS GUIDE WILL WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR DEVICE.
!!! Whatever you do, it is at your own risk !!!
This procedure will unbrick any Axon 7, returning it to stock. It fixes any kind of brick as long as your hardware is not damaged. You can't damage your hardware using software so if you have a healthy unit, you can recover it from any flashing "accident".
1. GET THE SOFTWARE
You need a Windows PC, Windows 10 is highly recommended. Do this:
01. Install MiFlash in your PC. It includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC drivers, nonetheless you can always install the latest drivers.
02. Download the EDL flashable stock firmware package for your model:
A2017 (China): B14_MIFAVOR5 Android: 7.1.1
A2017G (Europe): B10_NOUGAT Android: 7.1.1
A2017U (Americas): B35_NOUGAT Android: 7.1.1
03. Unzip the firmware ZIP file to a folder in your hard drive.
2. ENTER EDL MODE
Option A: USING THE REBOOT COMMAND
If you still have access to your system but not to recovery or fastboot, then you just need to install any terminal app, open it and at the app's command prompt enter:
Code:
reboot edl
. You device will reboot into EDL mode. Now you can safely plug your Device to your computer. In your computer right click in the Windows Start Menu icon and select Device Manager. Under Ports (COM & LPT) your device should appear as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 using a virtual COM port. If you can see it, then you can continue to the flash section, step 14. Otherwise, if you do not see anything or a DFU device, then you'll need to explore the next option.
Option B: USING THE BUTTON COMBO
04. Press the VolUp and VolDn buttons in your device and keep them pressed.
05. Now press the power button until the red LED flashes, it does it really quick. Then release the buttons, starting by the power button.
06. Plug the device to your computer.
In your computer right click in the Windows Start Menu icon and select Device Manager. Under Ports (COM & LPT) your device should appear as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 using a virtual COM port. If you can see it, then you can continue to the flash section, step 14. Otherwise, if you do not see anything or a DFU device, then you need an EDL cable.
OPTION C: USING THE EDL CABLE
So, you need to get a Qualcomm EDL cable. With it you can recover from any situation. I use this one, DrakenFX uses this other model. There are cables out there not working properly so do not try to save 4 or 5 bucks and get yours from a reliable source. Alternatively you can solder your own by following this guide. If you are in an emergency (or your patience threshold is very low) and have a thin wire around you, then you can follow this DIY hack video.
Do you already have the EDL cable? then follow these steps:
07. Connect your bricked Axon 7 to your PC using the EDL cable.
08. Press the EDL cable button and keep it pressed.
09. Press the Power button of your bricked unit and keep it pressed too.
10. Wait 20 seconds.
11. Release the power button.
12. Wait 10 seconds.
13. Release the button of the EDL cable.
Voilà, your device is now in EDL mode. The device manager in your PC, under the ports category, should detect it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. Now you can proceed to the flash section. If this procedure doesn't work, then your unit could have a hardware problem. Your only hope is to dissemble it by following this last resort guide.
3. FLASH FIRMWARE
14. Open MiFlash in your computer.
15. Click Browse button and select the folder you created in step 03 with the stock firmware files.
16. Click Refresh button and your device will appear listed as virtual COM port.
17. Click Flash button and wait for a few minutes until it finishes. Note that the bottom options are not applicable.
18. Now you have a stock Axon 7. Your data partition will still have garbage data, so you should enter recovery by pressing VolUp while rebooting your device with the power button. Release VolUp only when you reach Recovery. Using Recovery do a Factory Reset of your device.
That was the last step. Hopefully now you have a fully functional stock Axon 7.
By the way, this guide can also be used to return to stock any working device for selling or service!!!!
Cheers!!!!
Nice! I just disassembled mine and did it that way the other day.

I don't know what you mean about converting an A2017 into an A2017U. They are the same device except for the radio, that that's a hardware difference. You should always use the right modem firmware for your radio hardware so you should use the A2017 modem firmware. After unbricking your unit, you can unlock it again and flash any universal firmware the same way you did before. It is a long but safe process.
yes, i meant to say that i flashed U radio over my A2017
so China version is for me.

If you flashed the A2017U radio in a A2017 hardware and worked fine for you, then you can use the A2017U B35 stock firmware.

It should be locked. But in case you end up with an unlocked phone, then locking it is very easy. You only need to connect your phone, enter into fastboot mode, download the adb/fastboot tools and execute the command fastboot oem lock from your computer.

I can't get into EDL mode. I hold down volume buttons, then power. When the red led lights up, I unpress power, then the volume buttons, connect the USB cable and nothing happens on my phone (black display) red led still on. On my computer I see ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) (COM3).
Edit: I managed to get into EDL mode thanks to Axon 7 EDL Tool but I got a "File analysis: error" "not important files found" so I went back to MiFlash and also got an error about the files. Will update the post when I get it to work.

Glad to see you solved your issue. I misunderstood your problem. I thought you had access to the system and not to recovery or fastboot. Anyway, this guide is for unbrick or return to stock. I'll investigate the relock problem. Usually clearing devinfo partition should be enough to relock any bootloader.

In order to get access to fastboot I had to use the tool Axon7Toolkit, select "unlock bootloader" option, make sure you have an old version of MiFlash installed (20161212) and then you can select "lock bootloader" on Axon7Toolkit.
Thanks for everything.

Well, I am considering to link the older Marshmallow ROMs since the Nougat ROMs have some issues with fastboot. Anyway. It is going to take some time to test the alternatives. Thanks for letting us know!
Some of the most recent firmware for Axon 7 (@NFound's B12 bootstack, I think) doesn't support the EDL button combo. But if you have TWRP installed, you can boot to recovery, then reboot to EDL from there.
I kept getting the device registering in device manager in DFU mode. But I noticed that it briefly registers as QUSB_BULK before reverting to DFU. So I installed zadig winUSB driver and now it registers as QUSB_BULK when I turn on the device pressing all 3 buttons.
How can I proceed now?
Hi there
Thanks for this guide. I have a 2017U, so I got A2017U_B35_NOUGAT_FULL_EDL.zip file. After unzipping and connecting the phone to the computer it gets properly recognized and i can start the process from the MiFlash program. After reaching somewhere between 30-40% of the flashing process, it goes suddenly to 100% and it says that is finished. When I reboot the phone, it appears as if I was still under an unlocked bootloader (warning message + TUX penguin image) and the phone starts but during the initial setup process, i chose to start as a new phone but it says that "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device" and obviously this is not what I am interested for.
How can I get rid of this message and get a full clean install, with bootloader relocked and all that??
Thank you for any help you can provide!

There ate several ways to remove that. One involves TWRP 3.2.1-7 and the other Axon 7 EDL tool, if you dont have TWRP then use the second . Jusy go to the unlock menu and apply the google unlock.
A third way would be to setup the phone with your old google account and do afactory reset from within Android, not from the bootloader. That would remove also the owner safety.
Thank you so much for your guide and software bundle.
I even had to make a EDL cable to restore my device.
After flashing, I do not see vendor as a partition but looks like it is a folder. Is it OK for future ROMs ?
Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.

In China, this Phone is called Nubia Play, and the Global version is called Redmagic 5G Lite,
but the mobile phone model is NX651J. Generally speaking, the two are only the difference in ROM.
This is the edl firmware of Nubia Play,CN version.which can repair your phone in edl mode.
All the files are from the official package without any modification!
How to do?
1.Open XiaoMiFlash.exe in the MiFlash folder
2.Click the select button to select the images in this firmware
3.The phone enters edl mode and connects to the computer with a usb cable
（If your phone is in edl mode (9008 mode) for a long time, you must long press the
power button volume + and volume-keys to force the phone to power off, and then re-enter edl mode）
4.Click Loading and see the COMxx that appears, indicating that your phone is connected. Then click Flash
5.Then just wait, prompting flash done！sucess! It means that the flashing has been completed,
long press the power button to restart the phone!
When you see the green notification light next to the front camera light up,
you can release the power button.
Good luck！Enjoy it！！！

Its Not Global Rom , Only Chinese Firmware !
Why do I use scarlet letter when I use flash
The brick tool has worked on a few occasions ,thank you for that but now I need more help or suggestions, when playing between the Spain ROM and China version I lost the baseband and IMEI.Then I thought,locking the bootloader back would help obviously it did not work. Now even though I flashed the unbrick tool though miflasher edl mode I am stuck with a blank screen after the Nubia logo and port Qualcomm 900e in Windows device manager.
Tried already via recovery to flash an update China version or Spain version they flashed fine however still same scenario after Nubia logo.
Not sure what my options are.
Does this work for updating or just brick?

@johnny886
Thank you for the tool.Just wondering if there is a version for Android 11 as i updated to 3.16 android 11 firmware via the usb and now I get your device is corrupt.
Obviously my problem dates back to unlocking and then relocking the bootloader which somehow bricked the phone. Even though before relocking the tool worked once the bootloader was locked the phone wasn't able to boot into system but I was not getting the device is corrupt.
I am hoping for a way to unlock the bootloader or to be able to get back into the system to tick the option in the developer settings hence I am keeping my hope for an updated unbrick tool.
I donwload the file and uncompress it, when select the folder with XiaoMiFlash is shows "could't find flash script".
There are no flash_all.bat file on folder
any help, where is that file?
(mega interrupt the download process)
@ecatombe1234
In my case said the same with regards the script but had flashed fine once started.
Just be careful if you have the bootloader unlocked do not lock it again with the fastboot flash lock.
Thanks for you, really soon, response.
Yes, I try, put phone in edl mode, refresh, flash, and recive [... COM8]:ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE 0
@ecatombe1234
Usually this is down to the drivers used for Qualcomm Edl mode. Have you installed them ?
Is the EDL mode phone recognized in the device manager as Qualcomm??
Yes, I have correct drivers, I restored the phone last year, but not now.
Xiaomi tool detects phone in bootloader and in edl mode.
Windows detect phone in edl mode as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM8).
I tried with QFiL too, but I am not sure the config to work qith this, because it detect mobile in edl mode.
Any way, Xiaomi tool has very few config options, I can's understand the "could't find flash script", can any one give us ligth about this error?
It was xiaomi flash tool version, I tried a lot, finally this one works, it is the only one that works with corrupted android 11 version.
Download Xiaomi Flash Tool- v20210226

That will work to my dead boot nubia paly 5g?
@ecatombe1234
Thank you for the version even though this version got me a bit further in a Chinese testing menu still couldn't boot into system .
Must be something to do with the relocking of the bootloader.
Helo guys.. How can I downgrade from android 11 back to android 10 on this device? I recently updated my software but It is not stable yet. Certain apps for example PUBG mobile keep crashing whenever I try to launch it.

I've been following your discussion on this thread and had the same problem after ota update to 3.16.
I also had initially difficulty flashing with MiFlash but finally it worked.
I immediately pressed the flash after entering EDL mode
My phone flashed and entered the Chinese mode. I then went to bootloader by hard pressing the power button and Vol down key.
In bootloader I entered recovery which allowed me to update using OTG. I used a flash with USB C and loaded the phone with NX651J v 22 and my phone is back to the previous settings.
Good Morning,
I know it is very difficult or impossible to do anything in these smartphones, as you have told me, but I still "investigate" on the web.
I have found two items that talk about how flashing Nokia phones.
I guess it will not serve for ours.
I have also found one with all the Windows PC drivers, includes our devices
In case they work, here are:
The links:
Download Nokia Flash Tool Latest Version for Windows (2021)
Download Nokia OST Tool to Flash Nokia Firmware (All Versions)
Download Nokia USB Driver for Windows PC (2021)
Regards
Fastboot driver would be a gem.

Why do you need drivers?
I just used vol down + power to boot into bootloader
then fastboot files "fastboot reboot recovery" command to get to recovery

not on things like the Nokia X10 though, they locked every single command related to adb and fastboot for things like the bootloader and recovery menu
The TL;DR is, I bricked my phone (TMo Nord N200 5G, SIM unlocked, Bootloader unlocked). I'm trying to use the MSM to recover it. I can't boot to EDL (hold down volume up and volume down at the same time, while pressing power or plugging a USB cable into my PC). It just boots to Fastboot when I follow that procedure. I can't get to a place where I can use ADB commands (ADB shows device "unauthorized").
Longer version, my stock phone was upgraded to the June patch level, I think.
I did the SIM unlock, unlocked the bootloader, and installed the drivers.
I successfully flashed the latest PHH squeak FOSS by following this guide but it had some quirks that I wasn't completely satisfied with.
I flashed a SparkOS GSI linked from somewhere else, but it constantly beeped at me after I disabled Google Play Services, so I decided to move on.
I think the next OS I tried was CRdroid from the same place, but I also replaced the boot.img with a stock one that was patched for Magisk. I can't remember why I thought this was a good idea. There was also a thread that said Magisk doesn't like having nothing in system_a so flash this blank partition using these commands. It always errored out, but I tried it before rebooting.
At this point, my phone would either boot to Qualcomm CrashDump on its own, or Fastboot if I held volume down.
Using the latest Fastboot Enhance I was able to get into fastbootd by switching to "A" active, then rebooting to fastbootd. Have to remember to switch back to "B" active to get anything else to work.
I've tried flashing a few different things since I can get to fastbootd now. I'm no longer booting into the Qualcomm CrashDump, it reliably boots to fastboot as long as I'm "B" active. I just can't get anything resembling a working OS.
I've tried flashing the OTA TMo with Fastboot Enhance a few different times, and a few different GSIs through fastboot, and I really want to get back to stock now so I can start all over.
I've also tried a couple different MSM tool versions, but since my phone is never in EDL, it's never recognized.
Thank you for any assistance.
Holding the Vol +/- & power WILL force boot the N200 to EDL mode regardless of the software corruption as this is at the hardware level.
The thing you need to be concerned with is that you have the latest Qualcomm ADB tools installed so msmtool will recognise the phone while in this mode.
Install the latest adb driver and go into that folder when typing the command as you might have older adb installed already at another location (and in the system path) that is running instead.

Then you need to have msmtool running and ready to begin and the mouse button hovering over the start button. As soon as the first logo screen comes up, it will only go into EDL mode for about 3-4 seconds and then move on to booting and dump you into fastboot if the rom is corrupt/missing. You need to watch msmtool on the first line and the second it shows up, click start and it will flash.
If you are still missing it and in fastboot I think the the N200 supports the force phone to edl mode by fastboot command:
fastboot oem edl

Thank you for responding!
The command fastboot oem edl is returning either:
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
I'm running fastboot version 33.0.2-8557947, it's not in my system path.
From a full power off, holding the buttons and plugging in the USB cable, it's about 5 seconds until I see the OnePlus logo, then 2 more seconds before I drop into Fastboot. I'm not sure what I'm looking for, to confirm EDL mode. I'm not seeing my Device Manager update in that time, and the MSM tool isn't displaying anything, either.
try insert cable then volume + and - and power. keep it holding for 10-15 seconds or till you see qualcomm device in device manager
qualcomm drivers
Qualcomm_Drivers_Setup.exe
drive.google.com
try holding both volume buttons (make sure its off!) then plugging your phone in to the computer with msm tool open (you can pre-press the start button) (make sure you have all the drivers installed)
How can I verify that I have all of the required Qualcomm drivers installed?
I've run pretty much every driver install in this thread, or that I could find by searching, and it still seems like my laptop isn't recognizing the phone.

Open up Device Manager in windows. and then attempt to connect it to the computer while in EDL mode. In EDL mode it will still look like it's off btw, that confused me a lot.
You're looking for a device to show up in Device Manager when you connect it. If you're in EDL mode and have the driver's installed correctly it'll say qualcomm-something-something. If you see unknown device, you don't have the drivers installed. If no new device is detected either you're not in EDL mode or you should try a different cable.
Same issue as OP, won't boot into edl
edit: use USB 2.0
You can try enumusb.exe here: http://www.temblast.com/windows.htm
Code:
C:\>enumusb.exe /l /v05c6 /p9008
It will list the first time that a QUSB_BULK was plugged into a port, even if there was no driver found/loaded.
If you want, you can clear past connections by (needs to be admin command line):
This does no harm. I clear everything out occasionally, it just means that next boot will take 5 seconds longer while it discovers "new" devices and installs the same drivers.
Code:
C:\>enumusb.exe /d /v05c6 /p9008
Or, if you don't like that, just plug your device into a different port and see if another port is listed in enumusb.exe /l
On that same page you can find usblog.exe
You just run it and it will show you what pops up and down.
But, this only shows devices that Windows has loaded drivers for.

THANK YOU!
I didn't know there was a mode where it was powered on and the screen stayed off.
I finally got there by this path: Fastboot -> Recovery (I think?) -> List of languages, I chose English -> Power off -> Yes, really -> Hold down VOL+ and VOL- until I noticed the Qualcomm device in Device Manager
So I'm in EDL mode now! But my MSM tool crashes immediately on launch. So new problem, at least.

Try my native Windows EDL client. It uses the same Firehose loader as your stock tool does.
At the very least this will give you a second opinion.
