how do i do that ?

please tell me you enabled adb debugging and oem unlock (in developer settings)
and why? why did you power down during the update?

I am not sure if I debugged anything ....all I did was unlock the system Ui or something like that by tapping on something 7 times to unlock some hidden features !
I was paying attention to the phone and had the buttons held down while holding

On the screen when I try to recover in the bottom left it says device is locked along with a bunch of stuff and then the last line says connect USB CABLE .

if you didn't alter anything within those "hidden features" you're almost certainly out of luck.
you need to have enabled "adb debugging" to likely get yourself out of this jam... plus you didnt unlock your device
try some of the things listed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/mess-locked-bootloader-os-t3316463
if they dont work, im sorry to day, you pooched your device. will need repairs.

There's probably nothing you can do. Your bootloader is locked so you can't use fastboot to flash anything. If the stock recovery supports adb sideload you could try that, otherwise you're fresh out of luck and need it to be repaired.

WOW ...i cant believe this .....what should i say when i return it ?

You could say it powered off during the update.

turn off the device and remove the battery and sim card, wait 10 minutes then reinstall the batteries alone. after that make sure the device is in bootloader mode and flash again
I hope this helps
I've tried them all but nothing not help!
I read all the forums and did not find the answers.
A lot of people have this problem but nobody gives a solution, the phone is not responding-not to enter the bootloader!does not help one key combination, I think that somehow got into a phone via USB cable and using computers but do not know how?

LG Flash Tool crashed while flashing, phone bricked

Hi,
I was about flashing stock rom (following this thread and using CSE Flashing mode), when suddenly LG Flash Tool crashed on windows (I hate windows). Flashing progress stuck at 16%, so I press and hold power button to power phone off. but when I tried to enter to Download Mode, phone start too boot, and after LG logo, screen keeps going on and off (showing black screen)
I tried to enter to recover or factory hard reset, but it going to Factory data reset, even if I confirm reseting data it would try to boot same as when I tried to get Download Mode.
adb does not work
I followed this thread, but /dev/sdb1..36 just available for a few second and then disappear, after a while they are available and then disappear, and this will going on, (I think this is related to that screen on and off thing)
Would someone help me?
Sorry for my bad english, I'm a little nervous right now
Ok, finally I could see sdb1...36 and do what have been said here, and now I stuck at LG logo at boot.
still cannot get the download mode
factory hard reset is back but it'll stuck at "Factory reset processing..."
I have really lost my respect to flashtool after this kind of errors. If someone solve that issue it would be great for our community
please help
IM SORRY
we have the same scenario before, identically as yours.. and im sorry to tell you that you bricked your G2 so bad. i need to take mine to service center and they said that it needs the board to be replace, luckily im still on warranty. hope you still have yours as well

Somewhere in the forum i saw that you can detect your phone as a adb device on ubuntu or etc. Have you tried that? Im really feeling sorry about hearing that issue. As advice use old flashtool method that is harder but safer

Ubuntu is running in a VM, so I would need Windows to find the phone first.
Unfortunately, Windows never sees the phone.
It's weird though. TWRP got successfully flashed during the QHSUSB_BULK guide method, but I cannot boot into it.

If you see the lg logo maybe you will have a change. A guy who had the same results like you brings his phone plugged for 10-15 minutes than he have find his phone in download mode. Of course he plug the cable while holding the down button. I hope you will get your phone back with its functions

Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 nexus 6P (HELP!)

Hi there, I've been browsing through the threads related to unbricking of the Nexus 6P stuck in qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode, really desperate to get my device working again if even possible however I've tried for about four days now different ways and files and I've had no luck.
My bootloader is locked and no ADB etc managed to get my device showing as the 9008 port so I think it's stuck in EDL.
Following guides, this is the furthest I've yet to get (In screenshot)
Could anyone shed some light and some assistance please? what am I doing wrong!?

Use a hairdryer to warm up the back of the phone.
Are you pulling my leg? Warm it up then reflash?
nah im not trying to make you destroy your phone, being rather serious with this method. i use it on a daily basis to solve phones that fail during restoring factory images. i wouldn't know how long to give it with a hair dryer as i have access to a heat gun/heat mats .
just think of it as a cheap mans re balling method

thank you so much that worked, it has said flash successful, first time I got a google logo but now nothing, what would be my next step please?
if the bootloader is unlocked then you can directly flash the firmware. but if its not google "nexus ota" and then on your phone jump into the recovery and check the firmware model number and download the same ota and adb sideload it.
im not 100% sure on the next step as I've never had a nexus 6p with a dead bootloader. but thats what id do.
---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------
but from my personal experience with having to heat a phone up to restore factory images, it kinda means the phone is nearing the end of its life and id start thinking about buying your next phone before it sh*ts the bed.

Thank you for the reply and continuing to help, after seeing the google logo just once I'm getting nothing again - I'm even more determined now though as It's been dead for 2 months so this is the furthest I've gotten - the application of heat is what did it for me and fixed the error I was getting, can't get into recovery now though holding power + down etc

yeah can you access the bootloader at all ? does it say that the bootloader is locked ? from trying to restore LG's it sometimes has to be re heated a few times, but yeah if you need to re heat it to get further into the phone then its pretty much a lost cause. the only reason i do it is to remove the data so we can resell the device.

Thank you for your continuous help, only way i can get it into bootloader is by heating it up so does that mean for the device to ever work It'll need heat every time? looking like a spares and repairs listing on ebay

Hello....
How did you manage to get in to EDL mode..? I'm really curious. With stock bootloader? Since you can't access recovery
Also what is exactly displayed in Windows device manager?
You are using an outdated QFil version... It is from 2014 àr 2015.
Do a google search with: QPST_2.7.453.0 . This version seem to be from 2016.
Use the first link from the result. I analysed the files with virustotal, those seem clean or malware...
Also when plugging your usb cord to your PC, does your phone vibrate? Or does the LED blink in red?
You may have to press power button when plugging the usb cord or press power button for a certain amount of time before you plug the usb cord. I'm not completly sure, but your phone may not be in the "proper" EDL state to accept the QFil flash.
Good luck... :good:
Is it possible to send me the guide you used? Thanks.

Hey there sorry for slow replies, will be back on my desktop in an hour I'll send you links for what I followed and such, I think the only reason my device was in EDL mode was due to a hardware fault? As my device is faulty indefinitely as I had to use a hairdryer to warm it up while flashing this then allowed it to enter firehose state which a lot of people seem to error with - after all my attempts and research I'm to velieve there's a fault with the phone itself the only way I could get it to even power up was applying heat to it after removing the back panel
As blackcell said deballing or something? Worked a treat!
Furthest I've managed to get now is into my boot loader however everything is locked - when I press enter recovery my handset just freezes ?

Did you try zadig to to get the right drivers working ?
What do see in device manager ?
Can you boot to stock recovery?
Did you tried to start from scratch with the guide, not the toolkit ?

Zadig works for axon7tool only, MiFlash uses COM while axon7tool uses usb protocol
- The edl is dont working because phone go blank after use command and computer dosent see it.
- i try zading and try another driver effect is the same.

First of all, understand what you just did. If you don't explain it in an understandable way, we won't get any of it...
So:
-You unlocked the bootloader.
-axon7toolkit failed somewhere, and you didn't tell us exactly where
-you didn't try to use any guide to retake from where it ended up failing
-you didn't try to enter any mode
So just try to get to recovery or fastboot, using the 5 sec screen. After that we'll see

If you go to edl, by adb command or by pressing both volume buttons while connecting usb the screen goes blank, that's ok, it has to be this way.
Why you want to turn on allow oem, you are already unlocked.
Your issue seems to be the driver, I guess.
Edit: try this maybe, from the toolkit FAQ
The toolkit says my device is connected through ADB but adb commands don't work?
Your device may be unauthorized. Unlock your device, open a cmd window, type in "adb devices" and then accept the "Allow USB debugging" prompt on your phone. Make sure to check the "Always allow from this computer" box as well. If you don't get the prompt, try retoggling USB debugging, replugging your device in, and revoking all USB debugging authorizations in developer options.

Impossible to root tab a SM-T290?

I have read through no less than six different instructional threads I've probably watched 10 videos I've installed more software on my PC and my tablet that I know what to do with and I cannot get this tablet to root.
I'm not exaggerating when I say I probably have 20 hours into this project so far and just it will not work.
I am desperate for any help at all.
Does this mean anything to anybody?
This thing will NOT!! unlock the oem lock. I have toggled in developer options a hundred times restarted a hundred more times... USB debugging toggled off and on restart restart restart
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a command you have to run in fastboot after you toggle oem unlock, I'm guessing something similar to others, but I'm not very familiar yet as I just got this tablet
If you figure out the command, can you please let me know. I can't root this POS tablet.
it ended up fully bricked

to unlock the OEM you unlock the developer option by clicking seven times on the build number, then you must connect the device to wifi, then OEM will appear if the bootloader is unlocked, for this: Turn off the device, hold volume + and volume - together and connect the usb. press volume + for a long period and then unlock the bootloader.
I had trouble with this too. The trick ended up being plugging in the USB cable while holding down the buttons.
I just payed OneClickRoot like $40 to root it for me and saved the chat and all the commands he ran in the CMD Prompt and i still have all the files he had me download if anyone needs them. I had Android 11 on mine.

SURE DO!!
I actually ran into a more unusual problem.
I have twrp flashes in Recovery and lineage in system. But I think I wiped the boot by accident. Because its only going to recovery. If anyone can tell me where I can find the boot.img or any other suggestions to fix the boot, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
(I did try to use Odin to flash BL and all but it is giving "SW Rev fail" and some binary error.)
If anyone wants the files I saved just let me know and I'll send a link to them saved in my Google Drive.
Thanks. I was able to flash stock firmware. If anyone needs help. You can message me.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NZPeRrqnPSgtC8dULNs0Q4LoK_XpPa2X is my link to all the files and saved CMD texts

You also needed to hold all the buttons at startup to boot into the real bootloader and then unlock it and then go into download mode. I have a SM-T290 fully rooted and working. You need some knowledge to have a good chance for it to work. Also root checker says i used the "hard" method.

It depends on of you want to take the risk yourself. I did, and it actually ended up working well.
