Please help me - Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers

If you find anyway to fix a G7 Power hard brick please someone let me know my model is XT1955-5 (ocean) Amazon
I just bought the phone but now I can't use it anymore I have no access to the bootloader or recovery mode.
The phone plugged into the computer shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB Loader (9008)
I along with other users with the phone on XDA have tried using a mmcblk0.img but sadly it never worked if you find some other method please let someone know on this thread or make a post about it.
Thank you have a good day.

@sd_shadow
Do you think you could try this please and then upload the file?
I believe we have the same phone model the file shouldn't be very big someone uploaded one for the G7 and it was 165MB.

The instructions you posted pull a 16gb file.
The G7 Power is a 32gb device.
I've pulled an mmcblk0.img 3 times, using the twrp method.
Not sure what happened the 1st time, the 2nd and 3rd md5 checksums matched.
I couldn't get the sd card method to work, tried several times.

I would pull it using Linux (not a virtual machine) directly to your hard drive as apposed to using twrp to pull it to an sd card

edit:
some details
if you use
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960
file is saved to internal staorage
command needs to to changed
I used
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/16F4-E1F2/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960
but this will be different on every device.
I just used the stock files app to see the details of a file on the external storage to check location.
/storage/16F4-E1F2/

@sd_shadow
Thank you for doing that for me man appreciate it I think I'm just going to throw the phone in the garbage it didn't work.

If you're already have an image, you can try open it with this
Download it and try open the image, its for extracting the image file..
if success than maybe your method of rooting is the problem..
make sure to activate the ports 1st by double click ports windows batch file..
than copy and paste this code
Code:
1. Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4
2. id
3. dd if=/data/media/0/system.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=579584 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 ([B]i'm setting my image as system, system.img[/B])
4. LEAVE
those command after #
I re downloaded the image and checked it with ext2explore.
well this time around it worked great now have root.
thank you much.
I have been rooting and twrp / cmw for years and this is the only phone I have ever had any problems with.

DEBRICK IMAGES - Hardbrick recovery plan

With all the random qhsusb_bulk hardbricks coming around, I've decided to create a thread to share debrick.img files just in case. You do not need to create this, but if you ever need it, you'll be glad you did.
EXPLANATION:
If you ever HARDBRICK your phone, which can be caused by flashing an incompatible ROM, bad bootloader flash, or anything, your processor will fallback into a mode called USB_BULK mode. In this mode, it will await an SD card with a special image flashed to it, called debrick.img, and boot to that. Once booted from the SDcard, it will await a firmware flash from a computer (download mode.)
However, this image needs to be specific to the bootloader version the phone was running before the hardbrick occured. That's why I've created this thread: people on different bootloaders can share their debrick images.
HOW TO MAKE ONE:
Flash this in TWRP/FlashFire/SafeStrap
Your debrick.img (may be named something else, look for the .img at the end) will be in your external SD card and share it here please for others who may need it
BACK THIS UP EVERYWHERE. Google drive, dropbox, mediafire, everywhere. DO NOT loose this.
HOW TO USE ONE:
If you ever have the unfortunate luck of needing to use a debrick image, here's what to do:
-Download Win32DiskImager
-Put your microsd into your PC (yes you will need an adapter in some cases)
-Use Win32DiskImager to write the debrick.img to the SD card
-Take battery out of phone
-Put the SDcard into the phone and put the battery back in
-Do Vol Dn+Power+Home
-Your device should boot into Download Mode, and you should see "SDCARD MODE" at the top right
-Flash stock firmware using Odin
Downloads will be added to the 2nd post

PB1 BOOTLOADER DEBRICK
PD1 BOOTLOADER DEBRICK (thanks @klabit87)
PLEASE SHARE YOUR OWN DEBRICK IMAGES! I WILL ADD THEM HERE
Great thread to start!! Question, if i'm running PB1 firmware/kernel but I haven't taken any OTA's passed OC4. Would my debrick img be of the OC4 bootloader? Or do I need to flash the OC4 firmware/kernel to where everything is of OC4? This question may help people who are unsure of what's what.

It is completely based on bootloader version. You can use "Phone Info - Samsung" to confirm before creating an image.
This is great would be nice if you could create Bod5 img for us who are still able to downgrade

When I get a chance I'll make one for the OC4. Just want to be sure to do it correctly. Since I'm on UL OC4 Bootloader, PB1 firmware

Just for clarification, your script doesn't create a file ending in .img:
Code:
#Unbrick-Creator.zip\tools\Unbrick.sh: Line 5
mv /external_sd/Unbrick_Files/200MB.img.gz /external_sd/Unbrick_Files/Unbrick_IMG.gz;

yes but if you use an archiving program like winrar to open it there is a file called 200mb.img inside and that is the debrick image
I really appreciate ur efforts, but I have a question does it work on all devices ? I will be amuse to know.
Also how space does it requires? 2gb microsd ?

The file inside the archive just takes the name of the archive and excludes the ".gz". Since your script renames the file from "200mb.img.gz" to "Unbrick_IMG.gz", the file within the archive is simply named "Unbrick_IMG" and does not have an extension.
I can change the name of the archive to "Unbrick_IMG.img.gz", then extracting it results in a ".img" as expected. However, with the script you posted, users will have to do this last step manually. You could either not change the name in the script, or have the script include the ".img" to save users this last step.

People shouldn't be looking for a file ending in ".img", and they will also need to extract then rename "Unbrick_IMG.gz". Ideally, whoever created the Unbrick-Creator.zip should just fix the script inside and update the link. I'm not sure why the zipped file gets renamed at all, nor why the original image is called "200mb.img" instead of the expected "debrick.img".
The script could just look like this:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
mkdir -p /external_sd/Unbrick_Files/;
# Changing name of image from 200MB.img to debrick.img
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/external_sd/Unbrick_Files/200MB.img bs=4096 count=50000; # Original
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/external_sd/Unbrick_Files/debrick.img bs=4096 count=50000; # Modified
busybox gzip /external_sd/Unbrick_Files/*;
# Removing the rename command
# mv /external_sd/Unbrick_Files/200MB.img.gz /external_sd/Unbrick_Files/Unbrick_IMG.gz;
chmod -R 777 /external_sd/Unbrick_Files
Then, to get the image file, the user simply needs to connect their phone, navigate to the "Unbrick_Files" folder, copy "debrick.img.gz" to their computer, and unzip the archive.

Lol nope. Usually I like to have it all in the updater-script so I wouldn't have had a seperate script
Could someone who has updated to the PD1 bootloader post an unbrick.img for that please?
I attempted to update; flashed the PD1 stock ROM and bootloader in muniz_ri's updated thread and ended up in a soft brick, so I decided to try a full stock PB1 reset, but something went horribly wrong and I'm currently in a hard brick state.
Since something must've gone wrong halfway through, I suspect I'm still holding onto the PD1 bootloader. I've tried the process with the PB1 unbrick.img provided earlier in this thread, but sadly it didn't do anything. Thanks for all the hard work!

First of all, thank you heaps LameMonster82, you are an absolute champion!!. I was searching for hours to find a kdz file for G710EM10p and your posting was the only one I found. For some reason the "thaks" buttob isn't visible to me.. maybe because I'm a new member.
I thought I could be helpful by listing the different KDZ files which are in your google drive folder so other people can find them while searching through google like I was.
In the above link from LameMonster82 there are following KDZ files for the LM-G710EM (European) variant of the LG G7 :
G710EM10b
G710EM10f
G710EM10k
G710EM10p
For the LG V40:
V405UA10c
V405UA10l
To install the KDZ file follow the guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-stock-firmware-lock-t3820888
Thanks again

Download manages to get to 1 GB and then it drastically slows down and eventually fails. Via a download manager the farthest I got was 1,5 GB: although the download manager continued to download (it downloaded ~5 GB of data), the file was only 1,5 GB.

Doesn't seem to be something from me. Maybe Google's server are acting up or youre using your phone to download it. If you're using a phone it will sometimes do that. Try downloading another file and if not find a 10p version here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710em-firmwares/#tab=firmwares
I managed to download it! It went fine this time, I did not change anything on my side.

It's the system partition but it's empty because when you install an update the system copies there. A/B support

So I just got the Aristo 3 and wanted to root it. after an extensive search I have come up empty. Does anyone know if there is a method available to use yet or maybe something is in the works? I've unlocked flashing but I cant seem to boot recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same ive spent about 6 hours researching this ive never built my own root before however i just dont have the time to do whats needed. From what i researched get the original boot rom from lg bridge and perform a restore to download the factory boot image then use magisk to rebuild the image

Hmm I'll give it a try. The phone is still new enough that I don't have much saved to it and if I brick it can take it back
should be able to just get the boot image may be the aristo 2 dev would pick this up since he's familiar with it I see you have a few posts in that forum maybe you can send that dev a message see if they would pick it up.
I eagerly await any progress in this run! My girlfriend cracked her screen on her Aristo 2 and decided that it was time to upgrade. I've never been disappointed in the idea of upgrading my phone...until it meant giving up my Aristoboy Mk.2(which was/is quite formidable)and rooted status along with it. If there is anything I might read about the process online, I would at very least consider the task myself. I am learning, but I have some decent skills and experience behind me. Please let me know if I can assist in any way. If not, I hope to see the first strides towards tackling this latest addition to the Aristo line!
My thanks to all my fellow devs here! You each make up a piece of the whole collection that make this, hands down the best forum/online community available the world over! Keep it up! We are making a difference in so many lives!
Your friend,

So I've been busy as **** lately, but I found that the issue seems to be with the os more than the phone itself. I'm not that proficient with downgrading the os to a earlier version since this phone came stock with Oreo. I will try and talk to some of the devs who did the aristo 2 x210ma. Hopefully they have a solution. I've been using my 2 instead. I never realized how much you can't do with a stock phone and os.
OK here's something you can try...
first get dev-patched LGup {GooGle It}
then use the Dump function of Lgup to dump All partitions from your fone...
look for boot_COM{some#here} and rename it to boot.img
put that file on your fones sdcard and install magisk manager app.
use magisk manager app to patch that boot.img file.
find the new file patched_boot.img whereever magisk put it on your sdcard...
move it to your desktop or a folder etc. on P.C
now try to flash it to your fone...
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
if that works your bootloader is now unlocked you'll have to reboot the fone once as it'll erase cache and data...
after that
again do
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
now try
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
if that works....
Code:
fastboot reboot
and you'll have root by magisk.
if fastboot's not working other option is to rename "patched_boot.img" to "boot.img"
and then use Partitions DL option in lgup to flash the "patched"boot.img to the phone...
if that works you'll have root by magisk...
If this helped you feel free to hit thanks and come back to post the results plz.
Thanks

My bootloader is already unlocked I've just not been able to flash anything with fastboot. So I have LGup, is there a difference with the dev patched one? I also have magisk on my phone, but it really doesn't give me any options besides to install a new version. I'm gonna go try your suggestion soon though...it sounds promising...and may open up other options if this doesn't succeed. Thanks I'll keep you posted.

PLease let us know how it go's...
I'm trying to port and compile Multi-rom for LG-aristo Lg-m210 at the moment...

in answer to that YES quite a difference...
devpatched lgup gives you extra options such as Dump and Partitions-DL and Chiperase among others...
you'll NEED that dump and partitions-DL option....

So I can't get passed the dump. I keep getting a timed out error. I even tried to format the user data using fastboot and it failed. And I am curious about the boot_COM. I didn't see any file in the partition list matching that. I did see the boot partition and many others that I didn't recognize. So kinda feeling that we are back to

No the file wont say that in lgup, it'll be named that after you create a new folder on desktop call it "Dump" then use the dev-patched lgup and Dump option, select the folder Dump on the desktop and select the little checkbox for all on partitions list and click start...
also you may be haveing issues because of the .dll your useing... will lgup flash a stock .kdz to the device?
if yes, I'd think the dump option would work fine...
for firmware look here : https://www.mylgphones.com/metropcs-lg-aristo-3-lmx220ma-x220ma-firmware.html
for direct download use this link

So yes it would load a stock formware but no it wouldn't allow me to dump even one partion. And the strange thing was that my list of options would chanhe sometimes. Like it would give me more options i.e. phonesettings. I even tried different cables and ports. It doesnt matter though i somehow hard bricked it so bad that it won't even. Boot to download mode and somehow fried my sim card to the point it wont work in any other phone. Im just waiting for metro to open so i can try again

OH WOW what a mess...
I would say it's the .dll in the LGUP causing pain here...
something you can try when you're ready to try again....
remove/uninstall devpatched LGUP and install regular store version
use the Common .dll
and add this file{ UI_Config.lgl } to your Common folder in the lgup install location ...
to make it easier I'll just zip up My common folder for you to replace yours
to do this
right click on lgup, select open file location...
navigate to the model subfolder you'll see things like
{ AllinOne } {Common} and {LGUP_LGNPST} folders...
at that point just right click and rename {Common} folder to {Commonbak},
then take my zip file I'm attaching and unzip it and inside will be Common folder...
just Copy / Paste that new Common folder to where the old one is..
set permissions of folder { read-only} and open the folder find file called { UI_Config.lgl }
and set it's permissions to READ ONLY . otherwise it'll be erased once you start LGUP.
and see If that changes anything with being able to Dump...
It's let me dump every LG i've plugged into it...
so I should think it should work for you too...

Oh also i did a dump on another phone (aristo 2) and had no issuses. And i saw what ypu meant with the boot_COM##. Thanks for the help.

it may work,
when lgup is being a pain it's worth a try.
I say go for it. but to be certain I'd try flashing the extracted boot.img with partitions DL option in lgup once to make sure it flashes it b4 trying to patch it and flash it again...
Just my 2 cents.

Aristo3 FW: X220MA10B "10b" came on the system stock
LGUP V1.14 - patched
DLL v1.0.28.17
The above dll is the only one I have found that will recognize the phone and load LGUP, I have also attempted to use uppercut: Error DLL for X220M10b is invalid install a valid dll
https://imgur.com/1Ptrv3n
however, once i attempt to dump phone reboots into download mode i get: Error: 0x2000, please use latest Dll LAF protocol version is not match dll=0 device 162512928
https://imgur.com/5I7GfOa
I attempted to use the LGUPC DLL from the kdz V 10E firmware and that did not recognize the device i also attempted to use your zipped commons.
any feedback on this?
I feel that i should use LG tool update to 0F then use the 0F kdz to attempt all this?
DOWNGRADE Don't UPGRADE

If at all posible find the OLDEST firmware possible in kdz and do a full flash of that .
and try your dll mod with that by extracting the dll from said kdz and renaming to what ever the one in Common folder is and keep the UI_Config.lgl in there to keep the extra options if possible...
It's all trial and error with this stuff, so keep at it.
DO NOT flash a firmware.kdz from a different model of the device as it'll flash aboot sbl etc and you'll end with a brick that can't be fixed.
and I've always liked { in my experiments} to use the partitions DL option even when downgrading etc to be able to NOT CHOOSE the boot-stack partitions...
but give it a shot and tell us how it go's.
we may be able to split a root-bounty if we come up with something working across users
