Hi every1, i had bricked my LS996 while trying to flash it without knowing that there still isnt any tool available to Unbrick this model. i was probably on ZV5 and tried to flash the only available file that is ZV5 tot, after first the minios came to front, then after reading on forum, i selected boardDL instead of upgrade option in flash tool, and since then I have a brick in my hand, just on Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode. Have been searching all over but couldnt find anything to solve my problem yet, Any kind of help would be much appreciated, Already tried local repair centers but no use, there arent any official lg repair centers in my country.
If Devs can be kind enough to make a tool, or modify already available G3 unbrick tool, or add MSM8994 support to Boarddiag tool, we (others with same issue) will be the happiest ppl here!
Hope that some1 could do this for us.

Yeah thats the best one can do in this situation but i cant do that, as i previously stated, lg or sprint does not have any repair centers in my country. so i guess my only option for now is to wait for a tool like "MSM8994 download tool" made for OP2 which have same chipset/SoC.

The community is working hard, but remember its not their obligation to release any tool to unbrick devices for you must have read that if you did something to your device it was under your own risk. QUALCOMM9008 is not an easy state to recover from, I guess if we could contact an LG Dev that could provide us with something worth trying that could be awesome but as you know thats very difficult!
Is there flashtool as of now? Thanks in advance.
Head over to my thread. I have the same problem as you and I have been able to Compile the MPGR8994.hex programmer but my phone seems to not even respond to the flash programmer as I use QPST tools which is old version. And that might be the problem but If someone can create me the msimage for 8994 using some files from their phone it would be good.http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/help/ergent-h959-complete-device-emmc-dump-t3303353

How's that? What's the procedure?
If you desolder the emmc chip, and find the pinouts on pcb with multimeter
Maybe one more solution, ATF emmc testpoint finder (box)
If we know the pinouts, we can reflash the emmc without any special hardware (probably usb sd card reader is probably enough, with the right voltages and correct connections)
yeah, but i dont have ATF Probling Box
may be someone have and share then its easy to dump write to specific partitions
Any update or new info? I was thinking about setting up a Bounty thread so more people can get involved.

Well, I have an h950, I flashed the tot, then tryto go back to stock with stock rootedsystem of 11z.
I noticed that the tot is for 11x, so I hardbrick the phone. (QDloader 9008)
I try to write the partitions from linux, but I cannot see it, so I try to reflash the tot as LG g2 hardbricked.
so, I load the tot and dll of att in lgflash tool, and thats the message.
So I try to edit the dll with no succes, try the g2 dll and the same.
So, if we can avoid this crossflash message, we can reflash the tot or dz file with the correct dll

A while Back i tried to update my LG g4 H815T to marshjmallow using the LGUP method. I followd the thread on XDA.
When I was finished with it my phone got soft bricked. ( It booted up bu tgot stucj on the LG logo and blue LED flashed continiously.)
I tried using the same method but this time LGUP was not even recognizing my phone. Then I started searching for other methods i.e LGFlashTool but that didn't work either so I gave up on the phone.
The other day I was just sitting and realized thatthe issue may be that I flashed the wrong KDZ. Since the link that was provided to all the LG KDZ didn't have a file named just H815T.
Now I searched the internet but couldn't find out what KDZ to use. Any help would be really appreciated. Also, If someone thinks there could be another fix please do share as I'm not a 100% sure that i'll unbrick my phone even if I do find the correct KDZ.
here are the links i reffered to
the tutorial I used:

Only issue with that is I think the device would need to be rooted.. which it's not rootable. Which would explain most likely why there's not one already uploaded for the tons of users who attempted to downgrade.

Sadly it'll be very unlikely that root will be coming anytime soon for the H810 if at all at this moment.

Secure booting error after sd card unbrick method
I bought used h811, but it has issue of restarting every time I tired to uninstall any app or tried to go to security setting. So I decided to downgrade it (I have no idea about ARB at that time), the device show h811-21y, So I download h811-10n firmware & use lgup to downgrade after it complete 100% it get bricked, and show qualcomm 9008 on the PC. I then open the device and found out it is h810 written on the motherboard.
I tried almost every qfil mbn files present on the internet but failed.
Then I tired this firmware
LGH810AT-01-V21y-310-410-JUN-20-2016-ARB03+0.rar
and use this youtube method to create raw programme & patch
watch?v=RhG02kmSelk
Then I use sd card method as this youtube method suggest
watch?v=kX2Fm1zEx5E
my device show sign of life but stuck in "secure booting error 1009"
At that point I am totally stuck since I does not get any help with this error on the internet
Kindly understand the scenario 1st.
Your Board is VS990 but It Comes With a ROM of H900 Lollipop. NO OTA Update.
And LGUP or LG Flash Tool wont let you flash a VS990 KDZ/TOT over H900.
02 Things Needed here. 1st Is LG Generic Custom LGUP_8974.dll and
2nd you have to Edit the file in hex editor.
Open VS990 TOT File and search for LG-VS990
Change
LG-VS990 = LG-H900 (Conversion) (Becuase Current Rom is H900, We will Deceive LG Check Thats a H900 file is being flashed which is actually a VS990 File)
Direct Overwrite no deleting.
You have to Direct Overwrite the file.
Although its the procedure OF Cross File Flashing.
But AS LAF (Download Mode) Recovery and other files are Of H900 so After Flashing VS990 The Mobile can be Hard Bricked to Qualcomm 9008 Which have no Solution Yet.
I dont Recomend IT. On devices higher then G2 and G3 (D851 Also Not supported in LG Board Diagnostics)

You have to over write the model no. In hex editor. Adding or deleting will change hex value. So file wont be flashed.
Successful flash can also lead to hard brick. LG Board diagnostic cant de-brick models higher then G3.

Okay, i saw also that people commented that they got hard brick. Is there anything i can do with the 20w rom to get my fingerprint scanner back? or just buy a new phone and call an end to it? If so i was thinking about the V20. Should be good for root and such right?
Hello Murshad007 and others,
it seems that you have a risky solution about the MM H900/VS990 - VPN -Fingerprint-foced-close issue with h90021w.
I also have the bugs after flashing "web_h90021w_00_0921.kdz" on my AT&T H900 with VS990 Mainboard (I have checked like in the Video).
1.) Where exactly can I Identify more "Frankenstein" parts?
2.) Which part configuration did you try successfull without hard brick?
3) If you had a hard brick, how did you recover exactly?? Would I need a programmer device like Medusa or a JTAG or is it possible to make the Frankenstein alive without spending 150$? Because that is the Phone's price ?
4) Could you maybe make a Tutorial or link any recover after brick solutions/possibilities please??
Now the phone is absolutly useless, so if I brick it, there won't be a big difference.
I would be verry happy to get some help fixing my new 30th birthday present
Thanks in advance

i have been scouring all over the forums to no avail, and i think the ansswer maybe really simple, some members have found the correct way but are just beating the bush cause they want money, and that too, way more than the price of the motherboard, which is less than 50$ u.s now,
I was successful in bringing it from the dead (H901 to h900} but the lack of security and fingerprint is really proving troublesome not to say the lack of Sim connectivity,

Open your Phone. Check its Board and Flash Accordingly.
Use Board Diagnostics for Full Flashing. All Functions will return.

I`m trying to do this on an lg g6 but as you know lg dev is no more so no more bootloader unlock for me kindly help,as it1s very intriguing for me
Hello friends, new user and noob here.
I came to this forum thanks to a thread of user @Warlockguitarman who explains how to root/unlock LG phones in general.
My problem is that I tried to downgrade this phone to unlock the GSM carrier (original MetroPCS) using LGUP and an old firmware of the carrier, and the downgrade worked, but the unlocker tool didn't work with that firmware, so I tried again with the oldest firmware I could find (10F) and well, the phone became a nice little brick since then.
Working with different solutions, and thanks to the tutorial by @Warlockguitarman I somewhat make some progress, and now the device is recognized as Mediatek without the connect/disconnect status and I can use SP Flash Tool.
The thing is I don't have anything to work with. I found a scatter file alledgly for K51, but it didn't work.
Maybe some user here have scatter from a backup to try to revive this thing?
Thanks all for your time and responses! I appreciate any help I could get.

Unbricking isn't so difficult.
Since the device now gets detected in BROM Mode (Mediatek USB Port), the next thing is to build a scatter file from your extracted kdz then go the SP flash tool + MTK Bypass route or just use MTK Client
Building a scatter is a little beyond my experience.
Is there any guide or tutorial to learn how to do it?
Many thanks for your answer!
