What happened (DON'T!):
- Flashed recovery.img using Terminal Emulator in custom recovery like this:
- Pressed "Reboot to Recovery" to be welcomed by a dead phone, no LEDs nothing.
- Phone port was being read by QFIL but couldn't flash ROM: "Download Fail: Switch to EDL FailFirehose Fail". It wouldn't start up no matter what I tried.
What worked:
- Flashed ROM all over again with [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register] (Browsed to "version" folder of ROM, Down Arrow > Advanced -> Linked each one: {Boot Image: 8936_msimage.mbn, Raw XML File: rawprogram_unsparse.xml, Patch XML File: patch0.xml}, "OK" and "Flash").
- Still dead, kinda.
- Held "Vol Down" and "Power" out of curiosity and connected the phone to PC. It then booted into recovery. Rebooted from there and started OK.
