Hardbricked Mi4C, no fastboot or recovery + trouble with QFIL

Hardbricked Mi4C, no fastboot or recovery + trouble with QFIL - Xiaomi Mi 4C

I've managed to accidentally brick my MI4C while flashing recovery. There is no way to boot now, no fastboot either.
Phone doesn't respond to charging cable, but I'm able to connect it to the PC in the EDL mode (shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008).
I've downloaded the QPST package and used the QFIL emergency flashing utility following a guide from xiaomifirmware.com.
QFIL always finishes without any error (tried waiting for >45 mins), however the ROM doesn't seem to be installed - and the phone is still completely dead.
Is there any hope left? Here is the output log from QFIL:

With Xiaomi we generally use MiFlash rather than QPST/QFIL. I suppose you had tried the latest version of MiFlash but this device is old and an old version of MiFlash/MiPhone has to be used. Please get this 2015 version, it works for sure. Also for soft-brick recovery we use this old ROM "libra_images_6.1.7_20151221.0000.11_5.1_cn_b09dac70a0.tgz" and then flash new stuff.
So, enter the EDL/9008 mode again and flash the old ROM with the old MiFlash.
Relax, it will be fixed :highfive:

Thank you, this version of MiFlash worked! :good:
I flashed the old 5.1 ROM with MiFlash, then the older TWRP version, then flashed the official 7.0 ROM, then unlocked bootloader, then the new TWRP, then my desired ROM and now I'm good to go again.
QFIL is such a finicky tool, I don't want to ever see that again haha

I got into a similar situation.
The device is bootlooping and does not have recovery or atleast it is not accessible. I can boot in fastboot mode. The bootloader is locked and it does not let me flash recovery or rom.
I have requested and got permision to unlock the phone but the unlocking fails at the second step (don't remember the mesaage right now, I'll try to update this response later).
I have tried flashing what is stated in this post but it did not work. If anyone could list the specific details required for each step I could give it a second try.
Anyone willing to help? Thanks

This is the output for the following commands:
$ fastboot getvar product:

$ fastboot oem unlock

finished. total time: -0.000s
$ fastboot oem edl

...
OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.000s
The last command took some time to return even though it says 0.000.
I do see a 9008 in the devices admin.

My problem was that MiFlash2015 did not let me communicate with the phone under edl mode. It simply refused to connect.
I have managed to recover it by attempting the recover method described above after disabling "Driver Signature Verification".
To disable it under windows 10, the easiest way I have found is to restart with driver signature verification turned off.
To do so: Configuration > Updates and Security > Recover > Reset now
Once the blue menu appears: Solve problems > Advanced options > Configure start > Reset
Then you will be prompted to select an option. It is probably to "F7" to disable signature verification.
Big thanks to @k23m for helping me recover the phone.

unbrick 9008 mode H810 100% working method

I bricked my AT&T lg g4 h810 a few moth ago, and i find the solution.
If u have 9008 mode
1) Put your H810 into right 9008 mode !(it necessary)! by connecting two points on motherboard then put usb cable at the same time (while u connected the points on motherboard)
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
( http://imgur.com/IrNMT2N )
2) Then open up Device Manger on your PC and u will see connected 9008mode phone
3) Download qpst files ( https://mega.nz/#!vptnUSiB!lUrOx0V9prbK5H6ZIZ-dkP402-_0G990SKp4YCkqrWI )
download the latest QPST, and open QFIL.exe
4) Choose flat build, in programmer path choose "prog_emmc_firehose_8992_lite.mbn", then load xml, rawprogram and path, and click download.
5) it should be done, after that charge your battery and go into download mode (volume up + usb cable)
now u can flash your H810 with lg up

For what I was investigating. It seems that my problem is because this is blocked by the boot loader. That's why I get qfil error.

'did u ever figure this out? i have same issue got the g4 tot work now this one im having difficulties as well

did you people who sent the files give instructions on which test points your supposed to connect to the emmc? If not, they're supposed to have also sent an blk0 emmc backup that's meant to make your sd card bootable. if you do have that flash on a class 10 card at least 16gb or higher.

i swear i justr replied to this ... https://drive.google.com/open?id=1sNjdCseu9QeoIx8mYY6Q4LjpJnj3D0ls

[HOW TO] Back up partitions and flash, abl too( except T-Mo) WITHOUT ROOT(Windows)

Edit updated guide:https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/howto-updated-guide-to-unlock-t4168771
I am.no longer updating this guide anymore. Thabks to @Emanuel00000
For making an updated guide!!
Welp thanks for the firehouse leak we can now access flash any partition we want.
NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ASNYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE. THIS IS DONE BY YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS OR NOT.
ILL MAKE A VIDEO LATER THIS WEEK TO MAKE IT EASIER
It's possible to flash. Modified partition/image file without a bootloader unlock but I'm not 100% positive. .
FAQ"
1,) I keep getting shara failed, the firehose is in the right folder and the xml files as well. Everything is in the same folder.
A. There are two reasons why it may fail.
1 Make sure you install the drivers correctly.!! Windows 10 has driver signature enforcment enabled on default so you need to disable that and install the 9008 drivers. To check if your drivers are installed correctly open up Device manager via searching it in the windows bar then go into ports and make sure theres no question mark or an yellow exclamation (!) sign next to it. If there is you have you disable signature enforcement and install the drivers manually. To do that you can google it cause theres a bunch of ways to do it.
2. if the drivers are installed correctly then you should try two things. One run it as admin and check if you can open up parition manager or load the files. and two is to reboot into edl mode by holding down Vol - and then power then once it turns off and on again at the lg logo, hold it down and reboot into edl mode again.
Requirements:
qfil
firehose sdm845_lge
(optional)v35 abl bootloader to unlock
Link to download these files thanks to @Xsavi https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/development/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207
Steps:
Install qfil
Make sure you go to configuration then firehose settings and change from emmc to ufs
Turn off your phone and boot into edl mode (when phone is off connect usb or leave usb connected and immediately hold vol down and power buttons and keep rapidly pressing the vol up)
It should on a black screen but if it turns on try again, then check device manager and make sure its shows qhubulk or something like that. i(f you don't see it check in ports and should say that or Qualcomm 9008(com#) #= whatever port which means its installed and you can skip the next step)
Install the Qualcomm drivers by right clicking on the qbulkhub thing and click properties then the driver tab click update then search automatically.
start up qfil then load the firehose file in programmer path
don't worry about the XML path and stuff just go on the top click tools and partition manager
(NOTE: if there's no port open or the partition manager won't open, try rebooting into edl mode again)
Window should pop up with a list of partitions, right click on the ones you want to backup and then check on the bottom log window of qfil, it should say where its being kept and maybe percentages too if its a big partition let it finish.
Should be back to C:/appdata/roaming/Qualcomm/com#
Your partitions backed up and should be bin files note what is on the qfil log window should say the saved to somethinf. Bin
To flash:
do steps 1-5
except backing up use the load image option and load your .img file or the .bin file
For abl: back up the abl_a partition then load the image for v35 and reboot then do fastboot OEM unlock them. Then reflash the abl bootloader that you backed up by entering edl or using fasfboot flash.

If someone can backup their g710n Android 10 beta device that would be nice. Just the system, boot and vendor

Put phone in download mode search for the cross flashing thread and cross flash your kdz. Phone will be back to stock.

1,) I keep getting shara failed, the firehose is in the right folder and the xml files as well. Everything is in the same folder.
A. There are two reasons why it may fail.
1 Make sure you install the drivers correctly.!! Windows 10 has driver signature enforcment enabled on default so you need to disable that and install the 9008 drivers. To check if your drivers are installed correctly open up Device manager via searching it in the windows bar then go into ports and make sure theres no question mark or an yellow exclamation (!) sign next to it.

2. if the drivers are installed correctly then you should try two things. One run it as admin and check if you can open up parition manager or load the files. and two is to reboot into edl mode by holding down Vol - and then power then once it turns off and on again at the lg logo, hold it down and reboot into edl mode again.
Requirements:
qfil
firehose sdm845_lge
(optional)v35 abl bootloader to unlock
Link to download these files thanks to @Xsavi https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/development/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207
Steps:
Install qfil
Make sure you go to configuration then firehose settings and change from emmc to ufs
Turn off your phone and boot into edl mode (when phone is off connect usb or leave usb connected and immediately hold vol down and power buttons and keep rapidly pressing the vol up)

Should be back to C:/appdata/roaming/Qualcomm/com#
Your partitions backed up and should be bin files note what is on the qfil log window should say the saved to somethinf. Bin
To flash:
do steps 1-5
except backing up use the load image option and load your .img file or the .bin file
For abl: back up the abl_a partition then load the image for v35 and reboot then do fastboot OEM unlock them. Then reflash the abl bootloader that you backed up by entering edl or using fasfboot flash.

I'm not sure if it's the same issue I had but the airplane mode trick on windows 10 worked for me otherwise I'd get a communion error, also I have win10 on test mode. Fyi
I'm currently stuck on 9008 mode hope i can fix it

If you get sahara error, you should make sure you installed the 9008 mode drivers right or reboot your pc, reboot your phone from edl mode by holding volume - and power button for 10-30 seconds, then getting back to edl mode (step 6);
12. Search the partition called "abl_a" right click on it and press "Manage Partition Data" then press on "Read Data" (this will backup your current partition) then press on "Load image" and load the V35abl.img from UnlockG7 folder;
13. Press win + R and run %appdata% , navigate to Qualcomm --> Qfil --> COM_X (the port that your phone was connected to in the step 7). In this directory you will find a .bin file called readata... rename it to Abl_abackup.bin;
14. Redo step 12 & step 13 but instead of abl_a do it with abl_b;
STEP 15 & 16 ARE NOT NEEDED IF YOU HAVE LG G7 EM/EMW/EAW.
15. Search laf_a partition right click on it and press "Manage Paritition Data" then press on "Read Data" (to backup it), follow (step 13) again but name the file called readata... to laf_abackup.bin then you press on erase. (NOT "ERARSE ENTIRE FLASH");
16. Follow (step 15) but instead laf_a repeat the process with laf_b;
17. After you are done press on save partition file then close;
18. Force reboot the phone (Hold volume - and power button for 8s) and immediately hold only volume + (For EM, EMW & EAW its volume -), it should get you in fastboot mode. (If it didn't work try again);
19. Download & extract "fastboot driver.zip" and follow the instructions inside the README.txt;
20. Download & extract "FixFastboot.zip" and follow the instructions inside the README.txt;
21. Download & extract "fastboot-tools.zip";
22. Open the CMD inside the extracted fastboot-tools.zip and type: fastboot flash frp (drag and drop over the cmd the frp.img), it should say OKAY;
23. Press volume + until you see on your phone's screen "reboot to bootloader" then press power button and wait for it to reboot back in fastboot (bootloader);
24. Type in the CMD: fastboot oem unlock . It should say "erasing userdata...." and wait until its done;
25. Move the backups you have done in steps 12,13,14,15 (For EM,EMW & EAW models only from step 12 and 13) on desktop;
26. Go back in EDL(9008) mode, open qfil -----> press on "tools" -----> press on partition manager ----> search abl_a ----> right click on it ---> load the abl_abackup.bin located on desktop. Repeat the process with abl_b(abl_bBackup.bin), laf_a(laf_abackup.bin), laf_b(laf_bBackup.bin). (EM, EMW & EAW models have to restore only abl_a & abl_b). After you are done press on save partition file then close;
27. Get back in fastboot (redo step 18), unplug the phone and press volume up until you see "power off" on your screen and then press power button, your phone should be off;
28. Hold volume + and plug the phone back to the computer, you should enter in download mode;
29. Download & extract "How to flash KDZ Firmware.zip" and follow the instructions in README.txt.
Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked the bootloader of your device.

Guide for unlocking the bootloader for every LG G7 ThinQ model (for TM model won't work) :
IMPORTANT: NEVER ERASE THE ENTIRE FLASH (IT WILL PROBABLY DELETE YOUR IMEI ALSO IT WILL MAKE YOUR DEVICE A BRICK (CAN STILL BE RECOVERED) );
IMPORTANT: FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS IN ORDER TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER SUCCSSEFULLY. ;
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKS! YOU ARE FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE AND ITS YOUR CHOICE TO DO IT OR NOT TO DO IT AND YOURE THE ONE DOING IT. I JUST WANT TO HELP OTHERS OUT.;
Requirments:
- Windows PC/Laptop;
- USB Cable to connect your phone of course;
- V35 ABL;
- The LG FIrehose file;
- QPST/QFIL;
- 9008 drivers;
- ADB PLATFORM or any other fastboot/adb tools;
STEPS:
1. Install 9008 drivers , eventually reboot your pc;
2. Go to Settings ---> About phone ---> Software info ---> Press on "Build number" 5 times to unlock developer options, now go back 2 times and press on Developer options scroll down and enable "USB debugging";
3. Download Qfil, FireHose, v35 abl and install Qfil.
4. Boot in edl mode , firstly you have to connect your phone to your PC then you hold volume +, volume - and power button until the screen is off and immediatly you start holding only volume - and power button while spamming volume + button;
5. Go into device manager ---> Ports and it should say Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM x) or "QUSB_BULK_CID: xxxx_SN: xxxxxxxx"
6. Run QFIL with administrator rights (click right on it ---> open with administrator) Select Build Type: Flat Build, Programmer path: press on browse and go where you extracted Unlock G7.zip and select prog_ufs_firehose_Sdm845_lge.elf;
7. Press on "Configuration" and then press on "FireHose Configuration" , go to Device Type: select UFS and press OK;
8. After step 5 QFIL should recognize the port of your phone, if not press on "SelectPort..." and select your phone's port;
9. Press on "Tools" and then press on "Partition Manager";
10. A new window should show on your screen with every partition on your phone. If you get sahara error, you should make sure you installed the 9008 mode drivers right or reboot your pc, reboot your phone from edl mode by holding volume - and power button for 15-30 seconds, then getting back to edl mode (step 4);
11. Search the partition called "abl_a" right click on it and press "Manage Partition Data" then press on "Read Data" (this will backup your current partition) then press on "Load image" and load the abl_a.img file that you downloaded (step 3);
12. Open run.exe and type %appdata% then press enter, go to Qualcomm --> Qfil --> COM_X (X --> the port that your phone was connected at) and you have a file named readata...... .bin rename it to Abl_a backup.bin;
****(THESE 2 STEPS ARE FOR THE PEOPLE WITH OTHER MODELS THAN EM/EMW)**** 13. Search laf_a partition right click on it and press "Manage Paritition Data" then press on "Read Data" (to backup it), follow (step 12) again but name the file called readata... to laf_a backup.bin then you press on erase. (NOT "ERARSE ENTIRE FLASH") ;
**************************************************************************************** 14. Follow (step 13) but instead laf_a you do the same with laf_b;
15. Open the folder where your adb tools are, then hold Shift + Right Click in the folder (in empty space) and open powershell. Type and enter CMD ;
16. Unplug the phone then reboot by holding volume - and power button for 15-30 seconds, as soon as the screen goes black hold only volume + or volume - (if you used step 13. & 14 its vol +) and plug your phone. It should get you in fastboot mode, if not unplug and reboot again (hold volume - and power button for 15-30s) and try it again with volume - or volume + until you get in fastboot;
17. Type in the CMD " fastboot oem unlock " , if it says "unknown command" try using USB 2.0. Once that's done, do not close the cmd window yet;
18. Go where you backuped the partitions (step 12), and type in cmd fastboot flash abl_a (and drag the abl_a backup.bin file over the cmd window ) and press enter, it should say OKAY, then you do the same for laf partition fastboot flash laf_a (drag the file laf_a backup.bin over the cmd window ) respectively fastboot flash laf_b (drag the file laf_b backup.bin over the cmd window);
19. Now you can reboot your phone by selecting with volume buttons the reboot option and pressing power button;
20 .Congratulation! You succsefully unlocked your device.

Keep QFIL open, press vol- and power and keep tapping vol+ as phone starts. Stop as soon as '.....9008' message is seen in QFIL.

Rename the file removing any 'space' from it and try.
I am not familiar with this step 18. Maybe cause I have EMW.
You can also load back the partition you want using qfil.

G710AWM-10 30b
Good Day, XDA Community!
Before I post a request for help, prior to contributing anything, I would like to say thank you for this platform and the information contained within. It has been immensely helpful, the progress made to this point is truly because of this community.
I hope this an appropriate place for this post. I debated putting it in the Q&A section...rest assured, I learn quickly! Here is what I am currently faced with:
End Goal: Running Lineage OS (or other, i.e. UT) in its most stable form on the LG G7 ThinQ.
Current hardware: G710AWM Android 10, 30b. Windows 10 Pro Ver. 2004
Questions to try to keep this on point for you experienced and busy people:
1. Is the problem here Android 10? I have seen forum posts saying I need Android 9 to unlock bootloader. I have seen forum posts saying the version number does not matter. Downgrading the OS is not something I have acted upon yet.
2. Is an ADB response REQUIRED while in EDL mode? ADB reports the serial number of the G7 when in photo transfer USB mode. When in EDL, ADB does not report a serial number. ".\adb commands" from power shell.
Symptom:
1. QFIL - boot phone into EDL while QFIL open; QFIL detects 9008 port. Select firehose elf file, confirm UFS. Partition Manager reports Download failed / cannot find the file specified.
Reboot G7 into EDL mode while QFIL is open; Partition Manager reports Sahara error.
This is a result I can repeat and replicate over and over again.
I have been reading, researching, searching, and reading more to try to solve this with the information that is in this forum. It seems I'm missing something SUPER simple (like A10vsA9?). For the better part of the past 36 hours, I have rebooted the phone and computer, purchased and used new USB-C cables, installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, re-downloaded USB Drivers, firehose, G7 Unlock, G7 Unbrick.....
Not sure if the qfil log file will help:

Try files from the verizon unlock guide in guides section. I have a g7 emw and i unlocked using those files. Btw you have not mention what model yours is.
If that doesnt work, try from a different PC.
After you get qfil to work, take complete backup of all your partitions.
After that you need to be on android 8 to follow that guide.

Thank you, lefttobleed. I will eagerly jump into the Verizon unlock guide as suggested. I will make 6 backup copies of my partitions once qfil gets going!!
The model number I am working with is: LM-G710AWM // Android 10 Software Version: G710AWM30b
Thank you, again!

Thank you again, lefttobleed. Following the Verizon unlock guide, I was able to access partition manager through QFIL. I believe, either the re-downloaded QPST (version?) or the SIMPLE overlooked item was within the reinstallation of QPST... I care not to admit what the potential root cause of this might be
Last night was spent backing up the partitions of the G710AWM. While perhaps overkill, I captured the long list from partition manager in order to correlate the backup *.bin files. I sincerely hope there is in fact 93 partitions...and that I did not miss one in my exhaustion.
While there is no panic yet; I do suspect I am again confusing myself while going back and forth between guides (NOT a complaint in any form, I rather enjoy everything I have learned and completed thus far). On the note of the various guides, thank you to: Emanel000000, Awesomeslayerg, netookska05 and lefttobleed. I cannot possibly thank everyone......
Edit - I missed a few key points: I think from the AS guide, only the abl_a.bin is replaced; when I did this and rebooted, I could not access fastboot after approximately 20 - 30 attempts; the phone booted up normally (loading from b partition?). Booted back into EDL and replaced the abl_b.bin as per this (Eman00) guide. Backed up laf_a and laf_b to be safe. Rebooted phone to red triangle, and eventually fastboot loaded. Tried fastboot oem unlock and received "failed: device unlocked!". Fastboot continued to report this "fail device unlocked" message.
My G7 now boots to red triangle, and eventually to fastboot. No problem communicating via command line. Rebooting in various ways results in: EDL, download mode, firmware update mode and fastboot (after red-tri). I am about to use QFIL to flash V35 again to A/B, then erase the LAF.BIN files. I believe I deviated somewhere between this guide and Awesomeslayerg's guide.
Happy Oct. 31, for those that do something today!
Thank you, again!

Welcome... Very good progress. Even i sat and backed up my complete partitions tediously.
Anyways, Doesnt that error mean your phone is already unlocked? Check in developer options if it is unlocked.
If not unlocked, make sure you are making changes after cross flashing to an android 8 rom. Refer images in v40 guide linked inside verizon guide, to see how the bootloader should look if successfully flashed.
