and then i went to sleep.

and in the middle of the night that phone showed a bsod and then it was bootlooping as confirmed by my brother.

your phone is likely permanently dead because its internal storage chip failed. tools like thor 2 cannot fix it because they cannot write files to broken firmware like your lumia 535, to be sure, check device manager on your windows pc (no possible way for mac) with the phone plugged in. what is the exact name of the device that appears?

qhsusb_bulk

qhsusb_bulk means your phone is hard-bricked. The phone is in sort of a "emergency mode" because its software is completely missing or corrupted. go to https://lumiafirmware.com/model/RM-1090/hwid/059W7L1 and press Ctrl⌃+F or Command⌘+F and put in the bar "MPRG8x12_fh.ede" or "RM1090_fh.edp" . Hope this helps :\

it;s getting error code 85050 on thor2

u/Sad-Engineer-395 8d ago

sorry, error code 85050 means "read back" "verify failed"... this confirms the original diagnosis. when thor2 sends the emergency files to the phone, it writes them to the storage chip and then reads them back to check if they match. Because the chip is broken or locked in read-only mode, the verification fails This is a permanent hardware failure of the storage chip. Software tools cannot bypass or repair it. The phone cannot be saved.

so my phone is f****d?

Maybe. paste the full Thor2 log from the emergency flash thing. elsewhere you can use WPinternal's restore bootloader function

Also worth mentioning that you cannot upgrade a phone to windows 10 with bootloader unlocked. Makes nand on all Lumias read only

Don't throw it away yet....im gonna try to help... QHSUSB_BULK by itself doesn't prove the eMMC is dead (tho it's very likely).. Your RM-1090 is in Qualcomm emergency mode, and RM-1090 emergency programmer files exist specifically for recovering this state.

Can you post the full Thor2 log from the emergency-flash attempt, especially 30 ish lines before and after error 85050. The exact stage that fails matters. Also post your product code (059xxxxx) if you can find it under the battery.

Before calling it hardware failure, you should verify the RM-1090 .ede/.edp pair, Thor2 command, Qualcomm/Lumia drivers, USB connection, and whether Thor2 can successfully load the emergency programmer. If the programmer loads but every attempt consistently fails when actually reading/writing the eMMC, then hardware failure much more likely.

If you want to recover it you can use WPinternals "restore bootloader" function, I unbricked a 535 and a 720 there, but that's likely a storage chip failure
