Followed instructions and bricked device - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

I followed the instructions from another form for rooting LG G5 H8320:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/root-h830-t3384526
but did it without 1) enabling debugging mode or 2) doing the OEM unlock.
Seeing as I'm a complete noob, I didn't know to do this, and found out about this after reading a few other forums.
Device only boots to "Firmware update" screen now. Should I throw the device away? Or are one of you the second coming of our lord and savior and able to resurrect this thing from the dead?

Just to be clear, the instructions did not include these two steps as it was assumed noobs weren't reading I imagine?

Download LG program on your computer, and put the phone to download mode to restore it.
A brick means that it does not turn on at all due to software program.

bro if your device starts up and shows software update mode (download mode) you can flash official or tut using LGUP tool connecting it to PC...
have you tried flashing it with kdz files??

Doesnt work

Tried LGUP I get error:
error: Error Code = 0x2BC, Invalid command response code = 0x80000121
Tried unlocking the bootloader, using adb and that doesnt work either since I didn't enable oem unlock:crying:

[GUIDE] [P720/725/720H] Resurrection Guide (Let´s get those brick´s fixed)

Hello Guys, i have to show you, how you can recover your LG P720/725 and 720H. It´s very simple. Since i have my LG P720 i have reflashed my phone so often by this step´s
there give´s 3 methodes to bring your Smarthphone back to orginal
First what do you need.
First off all you need the KDZ from your Phone and the *.cp and *.ap also the binarys
----------- S/W MODE --------------
Plugged your Batterie out of the Phone. Wait 3 seconds.
Bring it back and insert your USB Cable to the Phone. Then Hold the Volume+ Button for 6 seconds. Your S/W Mode will start.
Now Connect your Phone to the PC, maybe you must install the Driver. (There are in the LG Flash Tool Package included)
If you didn´t flashed your Phone and it´s bricked automaticly , you can use the First Methode
--------First Methode ------
Connect Your Phone via USB to the PC and bring your Phone in the S/W Mode.
Start your LGMobile Support Tool and start the Emergency Mode, it will download the KDZ and flash it new to the Phone.
You have flashed a wrong Bin or KDZ to your Phone? Or Your Bootloader is bricked, also Bootloop ? Use this Methode
---------- Second Methode-----------------
You need the "LG Flash Tool Package" and the full working "LPG720 DLL" you can get the FlashPack here p92x.acidhazardrom.com/ccount/click.php?id=15 . This Includes all relevant Drivers, install it.
Here in the Post you find the LG Flash Tool 1.2 without Drivers
and the DLL are from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937519&stc=1&d=1367761284
The SmartFlash Tool http://hotfile.com/dl/143853325/ed430ad/SFT.rar.html Password [email protected]
--If You have a Behavior Blocker on your PC, disable it ---
Install all Drivers from the LG FlashPack.
Bring your Phone to the S/W Mode, install the Drivers.
So after you installed it, go to your Device Manager on the PC and change the Comport under connections > LG Modem ..... to COM41. Disconnect your Phone.
Install the FlashTool, then Start the LGFlashTool.exe from the LG Flash Tool 1.2. Then Select Manual Mode, choose the DLL and add your AP.bin and CP.fls. Press OK. Goto the COMConnector Button and Choose the Port 1. OK. Click on the Arrowbutton , the Program will be ready. Connect your Phone in S/W Mode now to the PC. It start´s automaticly and flash´s your device new.
After your Phone is ready, check your Mobile Network, if its false,"No conenction" you have to reflash the Baseband.
Use the Smartflash Tool, bring your Phone Back to S/W, start Smartflash and connect your phone. Goto the Register Rom Copy D/L under CP Bin use the *.fls binary. Click the Button "Start" now the Smartflash flash´s the Baseband new.
Now Your Phone is NEW.
---------------------------------------------------------------
My Smartphone is Permantently Bricked, bootloop, flashtool can´t flash anything(but i have used it correctly), Kernel Error or anything else
----------- The Third Methode-------------
So Guys, this is complicated for noobs.
You need the OAMP TOOL, download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937574&stc=1&d=1367763391
Now unplug your Batterie from the Phone, and connect it via USB to the PC. Now he will install the Driver, make it manual and choose the Driver from the folder usb_drv_windows, includes in the Package your downloaded.
So now if you have installed the Driver, start the "start_fastboot.bat". Choose your Phone and press the Button on your keyboard, the Tool will bring your Device to the Fastboot mode, if its write to start the mode "Pls wait 5 secondes " is now in the Screen read. Plug your batterie back to your phone.
then choose "install orginal bootloader" and follow the Steps. After you have to all, bring it back to the S/W Mode and follow Second Methode.
------------------------My S/W Mode is Gone-------------------
Follow Third Methode, but hold your vol up button permanetly , this will bring your Phone to the S/W Mode.
----------------------- Nothing goes, i think my Device is Bricked permantenly, fastboot can find any partitions or any thing else--------------------------
After i had this Problem, i fixxed it. So start Omap, choose your device. Hold permanently your Vol up button, plugg the Cable to usb and insert the Batterie. Omap brings your phone back to S/W.
Now flash your Stock Image with FlashTool, maybe 3 Times.
It works for me
----------- Other Mode KDZ_FW_UPD ---------------
i have forgot to tell you this mode. For this you need the KDZ File.
Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1949514&stc=1&d=1368135582
Its the same methode with the LG Mobile Support Tool, but offline.
Bring your Phone to S/W Mode and connect it to the PC.
First you have to edit your hosts file. Open it and insert this 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
then start kdz server, start windows enabler. See at the Tryicon click on it and make it ON.
Then open UpTestEX_mod2_marwin
On the rigth side, click on select kdz file. Choose your KDZ.
On the Bottom start "normal web upgrade test"
Then Upgrade Start.
The Mobile Support Tool opens and flashs the KDZ
This was a short Guide to bring your Phone back. If You have questions so ask pls =). Btw sry for my bad English, but i hope you can understand it
Added CWM for P720 maybe P920

Hi,
How do I get the binary files?
Also, the SFT.rar file is asking for a password.
If I have the KDZ, .bin and .fls files, i can use this method to upgrade to later version of software as well ( I am on V10C on P725, I can use this method to upgrade to V10F as well)
please help.
schubeir
ok if you read the Guide you find
The SmartFlash Tool http://hotfile.com/dl/143853325/ed430ad/SFT.rar.html Password [email protected] <<<<<< Passwort
the Binary files are from the KDZ, you musst extract them with LG Extract Tool
you can Use SFT or LG Faslhtool to flash you binarys.
If You have only the KDZ Use KDZ_UP......
Good Job !!!
Dear MasterTobi, hello!
I am trying all these methods, but I can't unbrick my phone! I can enter 2 different screens for S/W Upgrade, one by normal mode, another by OMAP boot mode, bu tin anyone my phone goes live... Do I have to select the port 41 in LG Modem in Device Manager, and after this, port 1 in the LG Flahs Tool? Is it correct? When I try to do this, I got the message "Downlaod Fail" each 20 seconds in the port 1 field at the LG Flash Tool.
I tried the methods in this post and another ones, but anyone works for me. Do you have any idea?
Thank you very much!

Sorry, but if I use your DLl, I got the message "Model Name is different! Chel phone or DLL!".
Also, I tried the smartflash tool, selecting the ap and cp. At the ending, appears a mesage "Magic number doesn't concide".
And finally, I tried the "Normal web upgrade test". This one looked as my phone would return to life, but not...
In any of methods I could turn on the phone. I don't know what I can do know. I am very, very afraid...

My guide is similar to the Resurrection guide which supports 3D MAX, the difference is that I've added some different steps and a slightly different method.
My phone is a 3D MAX, a P725.

oh guys...............
so you have a magic number ........ strange, there is only the error if you have a wrong version
you have to download the LGP720AT-00-V10e-EUR-XXX-JUL-17-2012+0_AP this is for the P720/P725 alias 3D MAX
Success!
Hey people! I got success! After many days trying, I unbricked my phone! I will tell you what I did.
- My phone is a P725. I don’t know exactly where is it from. This information (P725) was very important for me in the unbricking process.
- I used the LG Flash Tool 1.3.77.21 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=984864&d=1333650043).
- Now, the two cheats that helped me to unbrick my phone:
1st: I didn’t use the .dll from the first page of this post, and I didn’t use the .dll, .bin and .fls extracted from the KDZ gotten from the IMEI of the phone. They didn’t work for me. I googled for these files for P725AT, which was the model that LG Flash Tool was telling me that is my phone. I found the following files:
http://freakshare.com/files/e6xssy95/BIN_LGP725AT-00-V10b-ARB-XXX-MAY-08-2012-0.zip.html
http://uploaded.net/file/v6orqts2
2nd: At the flashing process, there is a pause at 80% telling that the phone will reset. In some cases, the reset really occurs, but in my case, the reset didn’t occur. A lot of errors appeared (see the image), but no problem. I just turned on my phone, and BINGO! It was working again.
It’s important to tell that I had to put my phone in download mode using the OMAP TOOL, that can be found in the first page of this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937574&stc=1&d=1367763391). Don’t forget to change the LG USB COM Port to 41.
That is my history! I hope that this help someone. I would like to thank everybody who wrote about the brick of this phone (MasterTobi, Karim Kahale, Eklovya Dutta [I'm not certain of how to link for them, sorry!] and anybody else), I believe that is one of the worsts bricks in smartphones…
Good luck for all!
EDIT:
I forgot to tell: all the process was made in a Windows 8 64 bit. It gave me some difficults to install all the drivers, but it is possible, Google it and found how to.

Help - Bricked (accidentally locked bootloader with TWRP installed)

It was late and I was cleaning up my old OP5T, getting it ready to sell. I thought I had plugged in my OP5T, but I still had my OP6 plugged in when I ran "fastboot oem lock". Now it won't boot and I can't unlock it (I'm assuming because I can't get into the OS and "enable OEM unlocking" anymore).
Is there anything I can do?
try using search next time because its already been talked abput here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/relock-bootloader-t3798135
Actually, I DID read that. I didn't just roll off the cabbage truck. If you have time to post snippy replies (I also searched YOUR post history), then maybe you can point out where in that thread the answer to my question is. I could see if there was a thread where this specifically happened, or if it had been talked about over and over, but I couldn't find one. You do know this is a fairly new device, right? TBH, you're just being rude. To count on someone to hit the right search terms for a single thread where the info exists is just asinine.
1) I have not seen anyone with this situation on the OP6 yet
2) The OP5T had an unbrick tool
3) Most phones have a way to restore the OS to factory
If it can't be restored without calling OnePlus, then why not just say so? I'll answer for you, it's because you actually enjoy replying in such a manner. Grow up.
Have you tried the mega unbrick guide?

I don't think relocking your bootloader will disable the "enable OEM unlock" toggle in the OS. You may just be able to unlock your bootloader as normal again. You should be able to use the fastboot recovery method to restore your OS.

I tried several times. It throws the following error, which when searched for, always seemed to be someone forgetting to enable OEM unlocking in settings:
Code:
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
Success! I was able to get it to work with the drivers from this post. No other drivers worked. I also forced the COM port to the first available (in my case, COM1) vs the one it popped up on. Until I did that, I would just get a huge list of ports that had no device attached. Once I had it on COM1, it was the only device that showed up in the list. The first time after that, I got a "Sahara Communication Failed" error, but it went away after rebooting the phone back into EDL mode again.
Thanks for the help!

Check if your drivers are properly installed or not by using the following command:
fastboot devices
this should give you a list of devices attached to the PC (recognized by the OS/ adb)

Question I accidentally installed the DSU GSI+GMS package on my oneplus 9 and now it wont start

I tried following the "Global/US OnePlus 9 Unbricking Guide" but I get stuck at the drivers part and while I can see that my phone is connected as a device to my PC I cant seem to install the drivers or get access to root folders (which I assume is connected). Ive tried using software to download the drivers for me and I've tried following the notes that came with the qualcom drivers file. The only thing I can do is boot my phone into fast boot but every option from there just leads to "phone corrupt... cant boot" error message

LG W41 (LM-K610IM) dead bricked by my stupidity. Could it be somehow revived?

Greetings everyone. I didn’t find a thread for this specific phone model. So I am putting it up here. Few days back I decided to unlock the bootloader of my LG W41 (LM-K610IM) and upgrade to a custom ROM. So, I used fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader and up until now everything went like a dream. Problems started when I couldn't get a TWRP recovery for my specific model. I downloaded a generic one and first tried to push it to my recovery partition. That's when I learned my phone doesn't have a recovery partition. I don't know what came to me then I used fastboot flash command to flash the TWRP image to my boot partition. It was successful but my phone won't start after that. It was a softbrick. Only the LG logo started bootlooping. But the worse was still not over. In an attempt to restore my device I searched everywhere for the stock ROM as the official website is down, but couldn't find any. At last, I zeroed in on a similar device by the same manufacturer LG K52. It had the ditto hardware like LG W41. Even the model number was similar. So, I downloaded the KDZ file. Extracted the dz from the kdz and the boot.img from the dz using LG KDZ extractor . Made a scatter file using a Hovatek instruction and using WWR MTK tool and formatted my device using SP flash tool and flashed everything. Till now my device was detected by the Windows 11 PC as a LGE device. Anyways the SP tool successfully flashed everything but after that my won't turn on any more. It's total dead. It won't power on, pc won't recognize it. I have tried connecting using USB and all possible hardware key combinations. It is dead bricked I think. All because of my stupidity. Now my question is, does it have any hope left or should I throw it away and buy a new device? I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope to find a superhero
Edit 1: SP Flash tool doesn't see my device any more. I have all the specific drivers installed. From LG and from Mediatek.
Try LG Bridge or check lg-firmwares.com
or
buy/borrow second device and 1:1 clone with mtkclient
Thanks for the quick response, but I have already tried LG Bridge, LGUP . After soft brick LGUP was seeing device as "unknown at COM Port 9". After hard brick it doesn't see it any more. Actually my PC won't see the device anymore
The firmware is not available at LG-firmwares.com but I have requested for it there. Keeping fingers

To put your device in BRom mode you may need a different key combination or a test point, find out on the internet how to put the device in BRom mode or ask various devs of that device

Okay let me ask and I will follow up. Thank you for the amazing guidance. Let's see if the poor device could be saved
you should poll lsusb in linux while trying to connect usb with both vol keys pressed. disconnect battery from pcb if possible to ensure phone is off.
