Hard bricked Pixel 3
Hi there, is there any way to put Pixel 3 in emergency download mode?
For now I have: 1 hard-bricked out-of-warranty Pixel 3 in disassembly state, locked bootloader and not working (really, not working) recovery. RMA is not an option (not based in any Google Store or support) countries, only hardcore.
For now I've tried to put phone in EDL via cable (D+ on GND, D- on GND), but it seems not an option. On PCB there are no marks, so, are here any people, who were successful in putting Pixel 3 in 9008 or so?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad english.

all a locked bootloader does is open the authentication for cooked ROMs. you can install a regular factory image to restore your phonethat doesn't matter. is it just a boot loop then? that's an easy fix

I can't do it, any downloaded for blueline from here: https: //devel opers.google. com/android/images
Causes:
Code:
Sending 'bootloader_b' (8521 KB) OKAY [ 0.340s]

Also I've tried to reach 9008 Emergency download by this instruction: https ://forum .gsmdevelopers. com/hardware-cable-modification-tricks/10684-guides-qualcomm-edl-cable-9008-com-9008-xiaomi-lg-etc.html
But it looks like not an option for this phone, or maybe there is different combo.
Also I've found D+ and D- USB-C testpoints on motherboard under screen connector (photo of mb: https: //i. im gur. com/NGEKO54.png), but shorting on GND looks like not working. 5 testpoints cluster on top-left corner looks like modem, but I don't sure.
RMA is not an option: https: //i. im gur. com/2XKUwC9.png
Mail-in starting from 411$ + mail out of RU around 100$, new phone available in ~250$. So, any suggestions?

He said recovery is not working. Device is toast sadly.
Did you get the UFS chip corrupted somehow? Seems like your only way is to do blow the UFS chip off and reimage it somehow, or get a working chip to replace it... Good luck

Nice
Hi !
I think I know what happened to you because something very similar happened to me ( bootlooping for nothing while I was in android 10 , and I had like a 1/4 chance to not get bootlooped in FASTBOOT mode )
Try this video :
https://youtu.be/zQmK5KwN5dk
Yea it's pixel 2 but it works the same as pixel 3 , just do this with your files step by step and maybe it can work, use the 2nd method of the video ( which is the harder one but it worked for me ) , good luck mate!

I don't think it's corrupted, but it needs to be reflashed in boot partition. Currently trying to find any programmator(flasher, hw flash tool, something about, I'm not very good in english) and util for it. Maybe I will have luck with this option.Did you get the UFS chip corrupted somehow?

Sorry, but one more time: bootloader is locked, so I need to go deeper. Please, re-read entry condition for this thread.Hi !

Tool all in one. download. flash factory image.
Err... What?
Btw, looks like it is first recovery thread for Pixel 3 in out-of-warranty state, currently I'm trying to find some options to get emergency download, or something else. Looking forward for any other suggestions, and, of course, if I will kinda lucky, will post own solution
