Android Central Question

Well I did it. Tried flashing a different carrier's rom and lights out. The only thing I can get the Blade X Max to do is light up the home key. It seems to blink at different intervals with different hard button combos and durations. It stays solid when I enter Qdloader mode. Hold both volumes and plug in. I have the driver for qdloader installed and the pc is recognizing it under Ports in device manager. I just can't seem to communicate with it. Ive tried firehose for 8936, 8937, and 8940 to no avail. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jared

If all else fails, find a JTAG service on eBay that can handle the Blade and pay them to force-feed it its firmware. But considering the price of the phone, it's usually not worth JTAGing - the service is more than the price of the phone new.
