No Boot - No Recovery - No Download Mode Unbrick Guide
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 or Secure booting error (No Boot - No Recovery - No Download Mode) or "QHSUSB_BULK"
Hi team, if you have come here I'm sorry you are having this problem! But my friend and I have been to hell and back trying to fix this problem and we wanted to share our method of success for any poor soul who is experiencing the same thing! For our situation the USB was unplugged half way through flashing a KDZ or going back to stock firmware and created the No Boot - No Recovery - No Download Mode problem.
This has only been tested on the D855.. Just so you know.
First off, here are some links which you may need to have a look at if you have not done so already. Most of the bricking problems have already been extensively talked about by people here on XDA. For the method that works, we had to pull information from everywhere and spent a long time looking for the solution.
How to go back to stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
Link for TOTs and KDZ's from the above thread - http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
The Main Fix for the problem - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g3-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933853
The G2 version of the fix (for reference if you still have problems 55+ pages) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830
This is your last stop shop if everything is broken and nothing works, involves hardware fix - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359
The problem we encountered several times with all of the described methods above, is that many do not describe important things. While the main fix thread for the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode, which is shown in device manager, is very well written and detailed, the programs which are linked in this thread are questionable and haven't worked for many users with some offering to fix for money. We searched the internet and located a working version of the program which worked without giving a "Device was not found in dload trying to flash programmer" like the one provided on the XDA page. Use the links below for a working version from this thread http://androidforums.com/threads/lg-g2-not-turning-on-help.916865/
My first point is if you are having problems with any of the things, CHANGE YOUR USB CABLE or use the stock cable (I know most experienced users know this). The reason for this problem has something to do with different USB cables being made for different purposes and are of different qualities. Having an error on the USB ports gave us only qhsusb_bulk on windows device manager, without Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 as well.
If you are still having problems, check your USB ports. It is really important to make sure this isn't the problem or you will be trying to fix this problem endlessly.
First attach the USB cable to the computer. When you plug your phone in, make sure you attempt to enter download mode by holding the volume up button when you plug the USB into your phone. Even though the phone will not enter "Download Mode" It will allow the phone to be detected by your computer (at which point you can release the buttons, it should then show "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" under ports. If this is not displayed you have a problem with the USB cable or port, or your phone is hard bricked and you need to head to the above guide for the hardware fix. If you have followed so far and are wondering what to do from here, once the "Main Fix" guide ends, head over to the "How to go back to Stock" thread above. Your phone should be showing "firmware upgrade" and you can proceed to flash a new updated KDZ on your device then everything will work and your nightmare should be over!

For all people with Windows 10 an problems with drivers (device is detected by Windows but app is not connecting). Decompress de correct cab for your Windows version, and update the driver "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" with the path you used to extract. Now this driver isn't advertising that isn't signed anymore, and all apps will connect with your LG G3

Hi, I have the same problem, except that when I connect the usb, it shows up as "LGE AndroidNetUSB Serial Port". I'm not sure if I should try the Qualcomm route?

I just fixed my Lg g3 with this method. Not sure if it will work with AndroidNetUSB
Would like to help for any difficulties. (e.g. Not able to find TOT file) etc.
Thanks to @Orcam & @kryptonite
This did not work. Here's what I tried:
1. Without battery
2. Changed drivers as @shawe_ewahs says
3. With battery
4. Admin and non-admin
5. Changing COM ports
But, every time, I get:
"Device was not found in dload trying flash programmer
TEST Aborted!!"
My LG G3 D851 is in Qualcomm HS_USB QDLoader 9008 (COM 41) so I know it is in the correct mode! Agh, it is very frustrating. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! <3 I finally was able to fix my device *O*

No problem. Hope it didn't take you as long as it took us to find all the right stuff
I'm having this problem, but when I plug in without a battery all that shows up in device manager is "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". I tried to do the hardware fix and was able to force the device to reboot by touching the pins. But all that happens is it disconnects and reconnects from USB without being detected properly.
I should note that when I turn the phone on right now, it stays stuck in the initial LG G3 splash screen. When I plug in without a battery, it shows an empty battery icon with a wire and a triangle question mark.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I think if I can just figure out how to get my machine to detect my phone as the qdloader hs usb 9008 I can figure out the rest.
The boarddiag v3.99 version 1 and 2 dont work, they dont even get ejecuted, not eve trying to execute as administrator.
Just wanted to reply since I resolved my issue. It turned out that, despite the apparent inability to boot into download mode, I discovered that if I booted up the phone with a battery in it and plugged into a windows 7 laptop, and held the button down to enter download mode, it eventually let me into download mode. I really can't explain why this worked, but just wanted to put it out there. It was at least a few minutes before I noticed that the laptop chirped and it was showing the install screen in download mode.
Hope this helps someone out.

Sounds like it may be a problem with windows from what you two have said. Perhaps compatibility mode is the way to go. They did release a pretty major windows 10 update since I posted this guide.
Hi
My device is LG G2 T-Mobile D801 Kitkat 4.4.2 v20g
I was playing a online game and my device screen turned off. I tried to turn the device on but no response
after 5 hours I pushed the power button and saw LG logo and the phone hanged.
So I decided to browse xda and other websites to collect some solutions to fix my problem
and now
My device is in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Mode and Board Diag 2.99a by willcracker shows AP Chip pass and EMMC fail
some times I can take my device to USB Bulk 9006 but this mode remain just for a few seconds.
is there any hope that I can fix my device without replacing main board or EMMC?
lg g2 bricked

Hi guys! Has anyone been able to connect Nova Plus (MLA-L03) with Qualcomm's QPST?
I have tried everything, including going to Project Menu and enabling Manufacture Mode but I have been unable to get HS-USB driver to show up in device manager. I think its either because incorrect drivers or the port is not enabled on the phone.. Anyone has any experience with with this?
I'm doing this to fix IMEI on my phone. Perhaps there is another way? This phone has been my "lab rat" so I can share what doest work
greetings, do you have the msm_8953_hua.mbn file for to make an firmware flashable via qfil, and i have the testpoint for to enable the edl mode 9008
My Lg Leon can no longer turn on or get to download mode. I was using the LG Flash tools to flash a kdz file and then when it was completed it would not turn on. Doing some further research, I am seeing that the device may be Hard bricked but the device does pick up when I connect it by usb but what comes up is Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I need all the help I can get to get the device up and running without having to bring it back to the manufacturer because I could just purchase another phone.
Any takers??????
Hi,
I know that there are already several threads where this is being discussed on this forum, just wanted to add this one so that people could share how they overcame it, As some let their battery die and then Vol down+Power into EDL, whereas some dismantle the phone and short the testing point, whereas some even got lucky with the Deep Flash Cable.. therefore it would be of benefit to all if all such solutions are shared under once single thread so that anyone suffering from it can look into one single list of options that he or she has!
As someone who is still figuring out how to escape this death trap, this would be great!
It's not a death trap for me ?? I can't even get it to that point. It's an amazing phone and I want to keep using it. I can't tell you how many different combinations I've tried in the last 24 hours and I have yet to get miflash to see my phone. All while adb and Qualcomm things are working exactly how they're supposed to. It's so frustrating that I can't even get my device into a state that needs recovering, especially with soooo many amazing ROMs for it!!

@ CASEY_K Have you tried different USB ports or a different computer?

I have tried both ports on this laptop multiple times. That's my next guess. Only downfall is I only have this one and don't know many other people that have one.
I'm getting the error, "parameter length can't be less than zero"
Had to disassemble the phone and follow the 4th category brick guide for me. I tried everything else, but that's the one that actually worked.

Supposedly fiddle enough with the buttons until it works, for example: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ax...estigation-t3511191/post74092981#post74092981
Some drain the battery first.
My ZTE is put into FTM mode by holding volume + and plugging in a USB cable that is connected to a computer. On some phones FTM mode will have ADB enabled. From ADB the command "adb reboot edl" will put the phone into edl mode without a deep flash cable.
If the phone contains a Qualcomm chip and you have Qualcomm drivers installed EDL mode will cause the phone to register in the device manager as a com port labeled Qualcomm 9008. Miflash recognizes the Qualcomm 9008 mode.

Don't bump completely dead threads, please??
Also you would be right if this didn't pertain to DFU. FTM almost never works when your phone is DFU bricked
