Unbrick all lg model no download,no recovery,no fastboot,no sign of life

HI FRIENDS TODAY I AM GOING TO GIVE FULL AND EXPLAINED TUTORIAL TO UNBRICK ANY LG MODEL ( NOT SUPPORTED BY JTAG,OCTOPUS BOX)
PROBLEM INTRODUCTION
NO DOWNLOAD MODE
NO RECOVERY MODE
NO FASTBOOT MODE
FASTBOOT MODE
LG LOGO STUCK
PC DETECT AS QHSUSB BULK
PARTITION POP UP WHEN CONNECTED TO PC
SECURITY ERROR
KERNEL CRASH
NO SIGN OF LIFE
WHY MY PHONE BRICKED????????​JUST FLASHING WRONG ROM ( MOST IN CASE OF REFURBISHED PHONE PURCHASED FROM THIRD PARTY SELLER)
FLASHING WRONG RECOVERY
FLASHING KERNEL
FLASHING KERNEL
DURING UPDATES ( FAILED OR INTERRUPTED)
AND MANY OTHER CAUSES​
TOOLS REQUIREMENT ​LG FLASH TOOL FOR KDZ AND TOT FILE( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476​(CREDIT GOES TO HYELTON)​TOT OR KDZ FILE ( DEPENDING ON SITUATION) >>>>>>>>>>( KEEPING BOTH FILES RECOMMENDED)​LG FIRMWARE EXTRACTOR ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575) >>>>>>>>>>>> ( DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION)​
ANDROID SDK SLIM mod edit - malicious link removed) >>>>>>>>>>>> ( USEFULL TO UNBRICK PHONE IN FASTBOOT MODE)​
QUALCOMM DRIVER ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/pba9wajnehr9qwg/Qualcomm+USB+Drivers.rar )>>>>>>>> ( for qhsusb bulk mode)​
PDANET FOR ADB DRIVER ( http://pdanet.co/a/)
IF YOU FLASHED WRONG RECOVERY OR MODIFY PARTITION THEN YOU WILL STUCK IN FASTBOOT
SOLUTION FOR FASTBOOT
EXTRACT ANDROIDSDKSLIM.ZIP FILE ON DESKTOP ( ANY WHERE)
INSTALL PDANET AND CHOOSE LG COMPLETE INSTALLATION
DOWNLOAD PARTITION FILE FOR YOUR MODEL ( IF D802 THEN USE ONLY PARTITION FILE FOR D802) >>>>>>>>>> ( http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2)
NOTE : 1) YOU CAN EXTRACT PARTITION FILE FROM KDZ OR TOT FILE USING LGFIRMWARE EXTRACTOR TOOL
FOLLOW THIS VIDEO TO KNOW HOW TO EXTRACT PARTITION FILE
2) PARTITION FILE MUST BE IN .img FORMAT ( WHEN WE EXTRACT PARTITION FILE FROM KDZ OR TOT THEN IT IS IN .bin FORMAT SO SIMPLY RENAME FROM .bin to .img )
3) YOU NEED TO EXTRACT 10 FILES FROM TOT ( aboot, boot, sbl1, dbi, laf, recovery, modem, misc, rpm, tz ) and 9 FILES FROM KDZ ( misc file is not present in kdz so dont worry it is not important)
AFTER EXTRACTING PARTITION FILE AND RENAMING THEM YOU WILL GET 10 OR 9 FILE ( aboo.img, boot.img, laf.img, recovery.img, sbl1.img, dbi.img, rpm.img, tz.img, misc.img) and REMOVE ANY NUMBER FROM THE NAME OF FILES ( SUPPOSE YOU GET aboot_21345.bin THEN RENAME TO aboot.img)
NOW COPY THESE PARTITION FILE IN THE LAST FOLDER (PLATFORM-TOOLS) OF ANDROIDSDKSLIM FOLDER.
NOW CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO PC IN FASTBOOT MODE ( OPEN DEVICE MANAGER AND SEE ON THE TOP THERE WILL ANDROID ADB INTERFACE UNDER ANDROID PHONE. IF NOT THEN CHECK ADB DRIVER INSTALLED PROPERLY OR NOT.
NOW GO TO THE THE FOLDER PLATFORM -TOOL INSIDE ANDROIDSDKSLIM FOLDER.
NOW PRESS AND HOLD SHIFT BUTTON ON KEYBOARD AND RIGHT CLICK IN THAT FOLDER AND YOU WILL GET AN OPTION OPEN COMMAND PROMPT OR WINDOW HERE. CLICK ON IT AND YOU WILL GET CMD WINDOW.
NOW TYPE fastboot devices ( IT WILL SHOW YOUR DEVICES )
NOW TYPE THESE COMMAND
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot reboot
exit​NOW REMOVE USB CABLE AND SWITCH OFF YOUR PHONE BT LONG PRESSING POWER BUTTON
NOW PRESS AND HOLD VOL UP AND CONNECT TO PC AND YOU WILL GET DOWNLOAD MODE FIXED
HURREYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
GO AND FLASH STOCK ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476)
IF YOU STILL STUCK IN FASTBOOT MODE THEN TYPE THESE COMMAND ( erase all 10 or 9 file and flash them one by one as shown)
fastboot erase aboot ( this command will erase aboot.img from phone)
fastboot flash aboot aboot.img ( this command will flash aboot to phone )
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot erase rpm

NOW PRESS AND HOLD VOL UP AND CONNECT TO PC AND YOU WILL GET DOWNLOAD MODE FIXED
HURREYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
GO AND FLASH STOCK ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476)
SOLUTION FOR ALL THE PROBLEM WITH NO DOWNLOAD MODE​YOU NEED TO FORCE PHONE INTO QHSUSB BULK MODE BY SHORTING TEST POINT
WHEN YOU GET QHSUSB BULK MODE IN DEVICE MANAGER THEN INSTALL QUALCOMM DRIVER ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/pba9wajnehr9qwg/Qualcomm+USB+Drivers.rar)
NOTE : THERE ARE TWO MODE IN QHSUSB BULK
1) QUALCOMM HS-USB 9006
THIS MODE IS VERY EASY TO FIX. YOU NEED THE PARTITION FILE THAT WE GET IN THE STARTING TO SOLVE FASTBOOT MODE)
TO SOLVE 9006 FOLLOW THIS METHOD ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 )
UBUNTU METHOD IS UNIVERSAL IT CAN BE USED FOR ANY PHONE IN 9006 ( UNBRICK VERY PARTITION METHOD ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/unbrick-lg-g2-qhsusbbulkqualcomm-9006-t2939627) BY TUNG KICK IS ONLY FOR G2 HOWEVER IT CAN BE USED FOR GPRO2 AND G FLEX BUT I M NOT SURE IT MAY NOT WORK OR BRICKED MORE)
WHEN YOUR PHONE GET STUCK IN 9006 THEN LOTS OFF DRIVE POP UP WHEN CONNECTED TO PC ( MOST IMPORTANT IDENTIFICATION)
2 ) QUALCOMM HS-USB 9008
IF YOU STUCK IN 9008 THEN THIS IS THE SUPER HARD BRICK MODE.
CONTACT aftabalam8c2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4554553 ) this guy not only can unbrick lg g2 , g3 but g pro 2, g flex, vu3, vu2, nexus4 , nexus 5, lg g , lg gpro, and around MORE THAN 30 ( I DONT KNOW BUT HE TOLD ME ALL HE CAN UNBRICK MORE THAN 50 ) devices of lg which not supported by JTAG OR OCTOPUS BOX.​
ACCORDING TO HIM MOST USER DAMAGED DURING SHORTING OF TEST POINT ( SO BETTER TO ASK HIM BEFOR SHORT)
I NEVER SHORTED SO DONT ASK ME. HE ALSO MADE A SERIES OF TEST POINT ON YOU TUBE FOR MANY DEVICES BUT THESE VIDEO ARE NOT PUBLIC NOW. MAY BE HE MAKE ALL VIDEOS PRIVATE AFTER SOME GUY CHEATED HIM ON XDA ( CONCLUDED FROM HIS COMMENTS)
AND THE ACCOUNT OF THIS GUY DISABLED BY XDA FOR 1 WEEK ( I ASKED HIM PERSONALY ON WHATS APP)
SO IF YOU WANT THE TEST POINT FOR ANY PHONE ASK HIM​.
THIS GUY UNBRICKED MY LG G FLEX IN 20 MINUTES IN FRONT OF ME ( WE ARE FROM SAME STATE SO I WENT HIS HOME)
FO THE FULL STORY OF LG G FLEX UNBRICKING SEE THIS ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...nload-mode-t3059257/post59555140#post59555140)
SO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO SHORT THE TEST POINT CORRECTLY WITHOUT DAMAGING EMMC ( I WOULD ADVICE ALL OF YOU PLEASE ASK HIM BEFOR SHORTING MAY HE SHARE THOSE VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE )
FOR COLLECTION OF TEST POINT SEE THIS ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/collection-test-phone-t3048736 )
SOLUTION FOR ERROR DURING FLASHING​FOLLOW THIS GUIDE ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-cross-dll-device-model-fota-laf-t3003717 )
THERE ARE MANY GUYS WHO CLAIM TO FIX YOUR BRICKED LG PHONE BUT I DONT KNOW THE AUTHENTICITY OF THESE GUYS
TUNGKICK WHICH IS ALSO WHO UNBRICK HAS VERY BAD RECORD, I SEEN THE POST MANY GUYS CLAIM THAT HE STEAL PASSWORD AND DATA FROM THEIR PC AND TOOL HE USED INSTALL KEYLOGGER TO YOUR PC ( I AM JUST TELLING THE COMMENTS ON GUYS AND THEY ALSO UPLOADED SOME PIC FOR THE PROOF)​

Hi Guys, pls help me.
This is not the first time i tried to update firmware using KDZUpdater [KDZ_FW_UPD.exe] .
But this is the first time my device has been bricked.
During updating my firmware, i was in "Emergency Mode" and i received some error on KDZUpdater GUI Console.
As i was unable to move from "Emergeny Mode", i tried again to update firmware, but again i got some error.
I thought removing the battery will do some good, but i was wrong.
Now my mobile is as good as "BLACK BRICK".
It even doesn't detect in "Device Manager".
Note:
Before using "KDZUpdater", i had disabled "LG modems" from device manager.
Pls help me on this.

You have only one option.
You need to force your phone into qhsusb bulk mode by shorting test point.

What does that mean??
Will this be done through software or I need some special hardware or should I sent to LG service centre.
Pls guide

got the solution but can't find the apropriate files, i am showing the method, if you find the files let me know.
1. with willcracker board diag,
in that case you need chipset file for apq8084 (snapdragon 805), i have searched to many but cant find. in that case you need original (latest on your phone) firmware in .tot file and convert it in .mbn file. this you can do in willcracker. only the problem is apq8084 chipset files and latest firmware in tot file. you can find it in .kdz but cant get it in .tot file.
2. with qpst programme. (qfil programe)
in this method you need programmer file, rawprogram.xml & patch.xml of the same version phone (f460s) and yes original firmware.
you can find both program on google or xda.
if you got the appropriate files let me know and share with me.
thanks in advance.

Have you tried checking on the 'Device Manager' what mode is the phone in 'Ports' section when connected to pc?
After that there are instructions in the first page for every mode. My phone doesn't show up and I needed it to force into
qhsusb bulk mode in order to proceed...

Fastboot not working

Got a G3 with no download mode.
If you Google it, it's a common issue, and the fix seems easy.
But fastboot won't communicate with the phone at all. Device shows as ? in fastboot instead of normal device ID. And can't fastboot flash, fastboot erase, or fastboot boot any imgs - get a FAIL every time.
Anyone seen this before...?

I have been through this situation (and worse). Unfortunately, I do not see a simpler way for you to get back the partitions you have messed up. If it's only the download mode you've lost and you can boot up to put the phone in adb mode, and have the root access, problem can be solved by flashing a dump of appropriate partition(s). If not, then pushing a bootloader through octopus box is the only solution for d850 as other diagnostic tools to repair the bootloader do not have appropriate files for this model. Have a look at this thread, and see if you can make any sense out of it. I am here if you need further help in this matter.

No it was completely hosed - wouldn't boot and was attempting to flash laf in order to get Download Mode back. You're referring to the JTAG service via Octopus, correct?

Yes, that's how I got my phone fixed. Could not find any other way, and even with this one, it was not so straight forward. Especially when working with partitions dump. I overwrote EFS partitions as well, so lost my IMEI. But if you choose to go with this method, I can guide how to just stop at recovery partition and not overwrite modemst1 & modemst2 partitions. First task though would be to find someone with Octopus Box.

Can't access DL mode to flash stock 10D due to failed root attempt

I tried to root my phone and install TWRP via the tungkick method, but I forgot to do the ADB fastboot oem unlock before I flashed the modified TOT file, so when I tried to boot into TWRP it got stuck in a bootloop.
Ive downloaded the stock 10D files, but am having issues getting the phone into DL mode so I can reflash the stock files via LGUP. Ive looked though many XDA threads, and have seen a few people post the same issue, but I have yet to find a solution to my issue. Can anyone offer up some assistance?

To get to download mode try removing battery for a couple seconds, putting it back in and then press and hold volume up while plugging in the USB cable to the computer. Also, you may want to download the 20A kdz and use the recowvery method instead of using the 10D tot file (unless you're wanting to stay on MM for some reason).

Remove battery, insert again. Hold Volume- and connect phone to PC via cable. It will take you to fastboot mode. Write command (make sure drivers & minimal fastboot and adb is installed)
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
phone will boot to system if everything is fine.

The end goal for the root process is to install TWRP and then CM or a variant of CM. I hate stock software.

Follow this guide to flash 20a firmware then
Follow this guide for rooting+twrp and you are good to flash any custom rom built for this

If you're wanting something customizable, fast and stable, I'd check out Resurrection Remix after following those guides listed to get 20A, root and TWRP. You may also want to check the dual boot thread and use that to try multiple ROMs at a time and see what you like the best

[HOWTO]Unlock bootloader/root for most G7's except T-Mo via EDL Mode (EASIER METHOD)

Hi everyone!!
IMPORTANT:NEVER SELECT ERASE OR FORMAT PARTITIONS IN LGUP. IT WILL MESS WITH YOUR IMEI
Im making a new guide to unlock your bootloader/root your device. Its easier to do a little bit risker but if you do it slowly you wont mess up your phone and in the event you do you can always recover it. Remember to FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS or you may end up messing up your phone, The best thing is, you dont need to downgrade to even unlock the bootloader!!
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.
If you cant for some reason access fastboot even flashing the v35 file, use this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/verizon-lg-g710vm20f-t4057031 it says verizon but i think most of the models of the g7 cant acess fastboot so you can try this.
Requirments:
-A PC
-USB Cable to connect your phone of course
- V35 ABL
--The LG FIrehose file
- QPST/QFIL
-9008 drivers FOLLOW THIS GUIDE!! To install drivers properly IF WINDOWS DOESNT INSTALL THEM AUTOMATICALLY!!
-ADB PLATFORM or someway to access fastboot via cmd
-PATIENCE!!
Steps.
Download the V35 abl,LG Fire house file, download and install qppst and install the 9008 drivers (WUNDOWS 10 should automatically do it for you) If not, download it and install them.
Boot into edl mode via connecting your phone to the pc then turning it off. Hold Vo- and power and keep pushing the vol+ button multiple times when it turns off.
Go into device manager and check if its detected. to check open up device manager and check Ports and it should say Some port 9009 Qualcomm or something like that (IF theres a question mark, exclamation mark or it says qhusb bulk even after you install the drivers, make sure you disable driver signature enforcment on windows and install the drivers again. Theres multiple ways to do it just google on how to disable driver signature enforcment windows 10. Same with windows 7/8,)
Run as administrator qfil and select flat build,.
--Programmer Type: Load the firehose file
-- On the top go to configuration and where it says Device type, make sure you change it to ufs.
-- Click ok to save and exit
At this point qfil should be detecting your port . If not there should be a select port button next to it on top.
Go to Tools then Partition Manager
A window should pop up with all the partitions. If you get a shara failed error, make sure your drivers are installed correctly and try rebooting into edl again once more. To do that just hold vol - and power until the lg logo comes up and then keep holding vol - and power again and once it turns off again just do the edl combination again.
Search for abl_a and right click on it. First do Read Data, it should take only a couple of seconds Then Load Image and load the v35 image. It should say GPT Finished or something like that at the log with no errors.
Reboot holding volume - and power for like 20-30 seconds until the lg logo comes up Then hold the down button to boot into fastboot or it will automatically boot into fastboot depending on what version of android you are on.
Open the folder where your adb tools are, then hold shift +Right Click in the folder and open powershell. Type and enter CMD
Enter: Fastboot oem unlock it should output with OKAY, If it gives you unknown command, try a USB 2.0 port and then turn off your phone and while its booting up enter the command before you boot into fastboot. Once thats done dont close the window yet!!
Once thats done you can now restore your other abl so you can boot back into android. To do that run %appdata% in the search bar or in the run window by holding the windows button and pressing the R button. Then you should be in C:\Users\{YOUR USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming
Open up the Qualcomm folder --> QFIL --> COMPORT#
There should be a ReadData Blah blah.bin in there. Drag and drop that in the folder where your adb tools are
then go back to the window i told you not to close (The powershell/cmd window) then do fastboot flash abl_a (The file name with ReadData) without the ( ).
Now you can turn off the phone vial holding volume - and power and then reboot into android!! You should get a bootloader unlocked or a cannot be checked for courrption message! Congrats your bootloader is unlocked!!
To root: Just back up your boot image via and then find it in %Appdata% put it in your phone then use magisk manager to patch the boot file and then take that boot file and then flash it to boot_a via edl.
I tried my best to write this guide and sorry for my grammatical mistakes. Ill be helping people unlock/root their bootloaders for free during this covid time as well. If you want to donate you can always tell me but its not necessary.
Ill try making a video as soon as i can.

Yes and no. Yes it will unlock the bootloader but the problem with verizon there is no fastboot unless you erase the laf imgs.
Which is why in my guide I use the crossflashed ULM11g it has fastboot and the oem unlock enable button which makes it easier to issue the "fastboot oem unlock" command.
Give it a try and if your not good at doing this with qfil will brick your device. If you run into issues try my guide.

Fixed it. Make sure whenever you close qfil or everythime you get that error just reboot into edl mode again.

****.. Unlocked bootloader. Lost Widewine L1. Relocked bootloader again. but Widewine L3 is available. Anyway to get it back to L1. I remember My pixel and Op6 could get back Widewine L1 after relocking bootloader again.

From ecperince just keep doing that. Nut before entering fastboot put the command in and press enter then reboot directly into fastboot. Kerp doing it unt you see the orsnge unlocked bootloader on your g7 screen

Hey op or whomever can help point me in the right direction: when looking at used/refurbished g7's which models should I ask sellers about or steer away from like the LMG710R (I know the LMG710TM is a no go, what about the Sprint unlocked for GSM and what's there code if I want to avoid them?)?
Thanks.

Would this work on LG710N (korean) ??

Once the bootloader is unlocked with this method DRM is lost forever. Even relocking the bootloader will not bring Widewine certification to L1. I am back to stock with locked bootloader. Widewine is at L3.

Question Noob who bricked phone trying to root here. Need help.

I didn't know what I was doing and now I'm paying the price (tbf the guides I found weren't very beginner friendly).
I tried installing Magisk on my device. The guides online told me to use a .img file patched by the app and flash it. I did that and now I'm stuck in fastboot mode.
Sorry if I need stuff explained. A lot of this goes over my head and evidence shows that I'm dumb, so bare with me.

You don't flash the boot image or you risk a brick, use fastboot boot boot.img instead. When it boots, open Magisk and do the direct install.
To fix it you'll need to get a stock copy of your boot image and try flashing that or just use the MSM Tool for your device.

Index of /list/Unbrick_Tools
You can also find the variant for your particular device and MSM the device back to stock. Easy to do. This is how a OnePlus tech remotely fixes a device without being sent in.

I have the MSM downloader but it says I need a username and password?
EDIT: Nevermind I figured it out.

What does EDL mode look like btw? Is it just a black screen or does it tell you?

It's a black screen.

Power off device. Hold vol +/- while inserting usb cable. Should be in EDL mode. PC will make a sound or MSM will say "connected".

First off you could always extract the ROM that you're using by downloading ROM and payload.bin dumper, extract pay load takes a long time please wait till the window closes by itself. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked.
reflash the boot.img over your device through fastboot mode with the extracted boot.img.
Make sure you open command prompt inside the folder that contains the fastboot files and adb files to run fastboot in command prompt. Connect your phone in fastboot mode.
/Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Boot.img has to be located within your fastboot files that you have downloaded. Or if you internally installed with platform-tools then use that specified folder and insert your boot.img there. If you do not command prompt won't be able to locate the file and will fail.
If it does not boot after successfully flashing stock boot.img you will have to follow a tutorial to use MSMtool for OnePlus 9. Depending on what firmware you need download appropriate files,. Make a space on your computer for your files because there will be a lot. Or you could also format data and see if that was the problem before considering MSM tool
You need the correct drivers for EDL mode to function correctly, you also may want to install OnePlus drivers from there website.,
For EDL mode to be detected with OnePlus 9 you must download a driver called
Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008
Anymore questions feel free to PM me I may be able to help and same with some of the other guys on here that have also commented above.
