Hi everybody..
I'm in desperate need of help. After attempting to root my g4 somehow something went wrong and the phone is completely dead with no sign of life . I know there isn't a way yet to unbrick the g4 but I'm hoping somebody out there is working on it and maybe can help me out.. I'm willing to donate for the help Thank you !
What exactly are your symptoms? Does it not even turn on? Have you tried getting into download mode? How exactly did you try to root it? What were your steps and are you able to identify where you went wrong exactly?

I was trying to gain root access following this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765. everything seemed to go well but after it was complete the phone wouldn't start and it booted only to a message on the LG LOGO with something failed. At that point I was still able to get to download mood so I tried to restore it to stock doing this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848. again the process went like it should but at the end the phone went dead with no signs of life, No led light, No vibration, can't turn on to anything and only gets detected on the computer as " qhsusb bulk ". My guess is I used the wrong KDZ files
I would appreciate it if you can help.
It indeed sounds like you have a hard brick, in which case the device can't be brought back to life.
However for chance, and for future reference. Which kdz did you try to flash? Assuming your device is the ATT model, then did you download the Puerto Rico kdz?
Because there is not a KDZ or TOT for the ATT H810 model the Puerto Rico KDZ from Claro will recover an ATT soft brick. These are labeled H810PR.

Maybe you downloaded the wrong img file from the first post? It has to not only match your phone, but ALSO match the version of the firmware you're currently running. That's why this method here is better:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
Because you just make a backup img of your system partition and then inject root into that and you have a new rooted system partition img file along with your original system partition image file so you can go back to stock if you want some time later. I'm guessing you tried flashing the wrong version of your firmware. Do you know what version you were on? Looks like the only one listed on that thread is version g. I'm on version b, so if I were to have tried that, I would also have had an error when trying to boot. Had you made a backup of your original system partition as mentioned here you should have simply been able to dd it back and you'd be up and running. However now it looks like you've "hard bricked" your phone indeed. Out of curiosity, which KDZ file did you use? What's the file name that downloaded?
It looks like there are some utilities created that can UNBRICK some phones when they get into this state, but it looks like they have had custom scripts written for the partitions of those phones, for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERZvlJIC9dE
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/solution-recover-from-hard-bricked-oneplus-one.104943/
Maybe someone familiar with how those apps run could modify that app for unbricking the G4s? Currently however, there doesn't seem to be anything you can currently do to immediately fix your phone. So ... can you get it exchanged or replaced????

Honestly, bring the phone to ATT and tell them it said an update was available, and upon accepting it...the phone ended up in this state. They will most likely exchange it for you.

Any chance they can give you the original receipt and that way you could possibly send it in for warranty work.

did it worked for h810?
its work on lg h810 At&t
first thing is that you need a backup.img of mmcblk partition from running h81020n firmware (Because DOwngrade baeband not support)
you just follow the step to create backup.img

Hi guys,
So here is my question, I got a LG G Flex 2 F510L from south Korea. And I wanted to know if it would be possible to switch the ROM for the H955 (which is the version currently sell in France) (because yeah I'm french ) since they got basically the same hardware...
And I don't want to test it myself because there is no custom recovery yet if I make a mistake etc... So, what do you guys think of my idea ?
It would work flashing it onto your phone, it would perform just like any other android smart phone, presuming they have the same specs. For example, if you flashed one of the h955's that only have 16gb's of memory, it would show in your storage that you only have 8 gb's or so remaining due to the system taking up 23 (in actuality it only uses 9, but it thinks it only has 16.) HOWEVER, even though it would perform just like an android smart phone, it would act like one, but without being capable of using your sim card, until you went back to stock. From what I understand, unless the phone, like the rom you flash, is unlocked, then your phone carrier won't be able to be used on that rom, as it's french, and not south korean. I would say try it, after you get the stock rom to re-flash yours if anything occurs. Don't be stuck like me, waiting for the h950 rom to appear, so I can fix my phone from being incapable of making calls. :crying::crying::crying:
Good luck!
So from what I understand, you tried it but your phone wasn't unlocked ?
Mine is free SIM so it should works... Unfortunately I couldn't find stock ROM for the F510L :crying:
I'm under the impression that even if it's unlocked prior to the flash, it would require another. I can't confirm nor deny this, but I would just wait until your specified stock is released on here.
Alright, I've found this but not sure if this is the entire ROM since it's named "system" and that's not a .kdz or even a .tot
I'll try to unzip it to see what it is exactly, and if it's my ROM, then I'll test the H955 ROM and let you know
So obviously it was just the "system" partition extracted and not the file dump that I need
Well, good effort at least. Eventually, you'll get your hands on it! Good luck.
Thx you sir, hope you'll find yours too
that's a good idea

My brick was revived when I up firmware H959 of Taiwan :laugh::victory:
Bravo !
From the original F510L rom, can you see any differences ? Improvements ?
I'm just wondering if it's worth it since my phone isn't bricked at all but still a little laggy sometimes

Thanks. I was able to update to the H959 10D
However I now get the message 'CURRENT VERSION IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR USER' every time I boot. Doesn't seem to affect anything though. Does anyone have any idea what this means?
Surprisingly though even though this rom has no bloatware to me it's slower than the Rom I had previously (I had an f510S branded to SK TELECOM)
With my previous rom It would only disable cores 4, 7 when things heat up.. but with this firmware it also disables 5+6 as well.
If someone uploads a KDZ for the Korean model i'd probably go back... It seems that LG releases updates for the Korean model first as I was on 10i and could have updated to 15B while everyone else is on 10D and 10e.

Thx for sharing your experience with us !
Mine is a F510L branded to U+ but I'm stuck on 10e since I rooted my phone because the update is forbidden for rooted users even if I unroot my phone with SuperSU.
There is no F510S KDZ so far from what I know sorry
The H955 rom does not work at all on the f510s. I am not sure why
The flashing process goes perfectly, but for some reason there is no cellular service whatsoever.

I guess H955 and H959 don't have the same radio so no cellular service.
Some users got the 5.1.1 update for both F510S and F510L.. Hopefully they'll find a way dor sharing a .kdz with us
Hi. I'm lost. I've bricked my freshly purchased H950 because of being in haste to update the firmware to 5.1.1. I've accidentally installed a H955 KDZ over my stock 5.0.1 AT&T H950 firmware. As expected, the device is bricked (everything works except the cell network). I've tried everything, spent about 8 hours with no result. Can't root it as well.
The IMEI and Baseband status is "Unknown" (lost EFS partitions).
Please, if it;s possible, give me an advice how to restore it to its original ATT firmware. I know that ATT hasn't published the TOT file of their firmware. Maybe I could restore it using someone's backed up files?
I'm outside of the US for the next 7 months so I won't be able to return it
Please help me, this is urgent.

Well the good new is that your cell phone works so it is not brick. Cell network probably doesnt work because H955 use different bands than H950. I dont think you will be able to go back to ATT rom because like you mentioned there is no kdz for it. But on the bright side you can try to use the H950PR KDZ to flash your cell. this is totally compatible with the H950 from ATT. You can always wait for the someone more knowledgeable to answer but I am almost sure that it should work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/kdz-compatible-att-h950-t3180847
I've installed the h950pr and there the cell network is still not working
In case if i find a person who has a similar device with Att firmware, how can i make a backup of it in order to flash my device?
I've managed to root my semi-bricked H950. But the imei and baseband version are still unknown. What should I do?

Does anybody know how to write IMEI on the H950 without octopus box? Can't do it in QPST, DFS, EFS pro because it sn't recognized as a phone / doesn't answer.

As the name suggests, I being a very smart person decided to flash a KDZ for the T-Mobile version at 25% battery. It either died during the flashing or wasn't going to work in the first place, about 80% through the flashing the screen went black and I was left with QHSUSB_BULK. The screen does not turn on, also while charging the LED doesn't turn on. Can anyone help me
P.S, I am with Wind
Did you tried entering the recovery mode?
,,
first of all, can you get back into download mode, or boot into safe mode at all? If so then it's definitely not a hard brick, which means that you might have some hope. So long as you can get it back into download mode, and if you're able to find an appropriate KDZ for your specific model (H636), it might be possible to undo the damage and get your device working again.
But from the sound of it, with the fact that your display doesn't come on, nor does your LED light, it sounds like it's a hard brick. Which means that you're now the proud owner of an LG branded paperweight. If you tried flashing the KDZ from the unbricking guide on the forums, it will only work if your device is already a US T-Mobile or MetroPCS model (H631 or MS631, respectively). Any other model (like the US Boost/Virgin/Cricket models, or non-US variants) will just result in failure, and ultimately a hard brick.
Mines also brick
Hello my lg g stylo also went hard bricked but mine's is a us how can i fix it do i have hope.
Hi I have a canadian LG G stylo (H636) with fido mobile. I want to install a custom ROM as I am sick of the stock ROM. I am pretty new to this area but very excited to learn. Could you provide me the steps and links to the files which I need for this. I appreciate your answers. THanks,
@nicegamer7 There is no known KDZ for the H636 -- you do have a hard bricked device.
@Mike238601 If you have a model that is in the unbrick thread, that has a KDZ available, you can save your device. If there isn't a KDZ available, then you probably have a brick.
Maybe this is useful

Hi guys, I bought this phone and I'm really enjoying it, but had a problem last week. I soft bricked the phone and couldn't find any TOT firmware files for flashing, only KDZ and had that known problem being stuck at 9% when flashing the KDZ.
I've searched everywhere, but couldn't find a TOT firmware files. Arent there any firmware version for the European H955 in TOT file format?
I've sent my phone to the local LG service, and they've flashed it and brought the phone back to life. But still I'm feeling kind of insecure having no way to bring the phone back from dead when I'm trying or testing things.
So, question for you guys - did you came across a TOT file for the H955 of GF2?

Hi,
were you able to unbrick your LG G4? I flashed with the wrong ROM, and the phone is not turning on, just making pop on and pop off sounds when i plug it to the PC, and is on QHSUSB_BULK in the device manager.
I have found lot of tutorials online to unbrick, but they are different version like lg g2 and g3, it seems there is no fix for LG G4 models. If you unbricked the LG G4 can you share all the steps you followed? Thanks
Hi, did some one try this method with our 810 dump file(flash via sdcard)? is that become alive?
