i also have an e617g on 4.1.2 bell network id like to root and unlock the bootloader so i can install cwm and finally swap roms, this is a nice phone but it barely exists on the web any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
Never mind figured it out myself. I may post a guide here soon. Seeing as any help I ask for is ignored. I'd rather help than hold back
Turn your lG-e617g into an LG-e610 then root it and install cyanogenmod.

this is my first tutorial so message me if something on here isnt clear.
step 1: download things, this is crucial, you need to download this stuff, it took me a while to find everything that ACTUALLY WORKED so i have it all in a nice little package to download.
step 2: make sure your phone is NOT plugged in the computer, install drivers if you do not have them. i have the drivers that worked for me in the package via direct download links. if they dont work for you somethings screwy with your computer and youll have to scour the internet to find drivers that'll work, google is your friend.
step 3: make sure your phone is recognised with your lappytop or computer. thats right i said lappytop, so sue me.
step 4nce all the drivers are installed and your phone is connected to the computer youll want to open up the folder labled: "LG FlashTool and Accessories" inside youll find "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" open that right up.
step 5: next youll see a modded lg tool made by some guy on the internet, im not sure who but he/she did a good job thanks man/wo-man!!
ok youll want to leave all settings to default dont touch any thing, its good to go as is.
step 6: make sure phone is plugged in and usb debugging is enabled, use the kdz updater to browse for this file (download it via links in the package) "V10D_downgrade.kdz" then click on "Launch software update" this takes a while go make a coffee.
step 7: when its done its magic, your phone will boot up and youll see the LG logo for about 10 minutes any longer and your in a boot loop remove battery put it back in and hold both volume buttons down and power at the same time. time it carefully the lights on the soft keys will come on and a split second later the phone will slightly vibrate, the second you feel that press the home and hold it for about 10 seconds and the phone will do a hard reset, the phone will turn on now and initiate the first time use wizard, its in russian at first so just change your language to whatever, assuming english here. the phones software is now rooted just no su/superuser installed download from play store and update binary in settings of su app.
step 8: Unlocking bootloader time! after you flashed the software using kdz updater your phones ID is now technically an e610 now instead of an e617g, so unlocking the bootloader is now possible, connect your phone to computer, turn usb debugging on and drag and drop "emmc_appsboot.bin" into the root of your INTERNAL SD, also kill 2 birds with one stone here by also copying the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img you downloaded via links in the txt document to the same place just rename it "recovery.img to make it easier also make sure you place the cm rom in the external sd. we need the bootloader unlocked to allow for cwm installation and good ol' rom swapping, open the folder "ADB" hold shift right click any where in the folder and select open "command window here",
type in the cmd window obviously without quotations: "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" enter again then type "dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" your bootloader is now unlocked, now type in "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" this just installed clockwork mod. to boot into recovery and install cyanogen (the one im using. btw its a powerhouse compared to stock!!!) type in "reboot recovery"
step 9: factory reset, clear partition, wipe dalvik cache, install cyanogen, reboot, ENJOY.
seems i cant upload the programs needed so all i can do is this:

I had already tried that but i keep getting the bloody error in KDZ

That happens when the kdz file is corrupted. Redownload the firmware and try again
its more than likely a bad connection causing a bad download also are you starting off with an e617g or e610?
Will all app data, contacts, etc. be lost using this method? Thanks in advance!

Does this method actually unlock the network too? Can I use fido sim card? would it work?
Okay, this is must be my first thread since I join this lovely forum.
So here is the deal, this is my previous phone that I gave to my sister not so long ago, she has this not-so-bright wise *ss who try to fix her G2.
Sadly, he flashed the wrong rom, this is LG F320L and I think he flashed with F320K (based on error message that I got from the LG Flash Tool when I try to fix it)
This is the story so far :
1. the first time i got it on my hand (after get wrong-flashed that is ) :
- the phone is cannot boot, it stucked on black screen with fastboot command, try to go to recovery but not working, keep going to fastboot screen
- but i can still go to download mode (if I press vol UP while connect it to my PC) but somehow my PC will not recognize it
2. So I browse so many tutorial here and I end up erase and then reflash the stock recovery via cmd fastboot command, I'm 100% sure that I flashed the correct stock recovery file
- the process kinda work, the phone is able to go to recovery screen now although still cannot boot to system
- i still can go to download mode but the PC still didn't recognize it
- however, now the phone is being recognize by my PC if i plug the phone (without pressing anything on the phone), but gave me error code on the MTP driver
3. So next step I try to flash it via kdz method, didn't work of course, since my download mode won't be recognize, and then i also try to flash it via TOT method, also fail (again)
Note : on TOT method I try to flash it while NOT on download mode, since it will not recognized, it gave me error message that i try to cross flash or something. It says that I try to flash F320K to F320L (hence I assume that my sister's boyfriend flashed the wrong rom and got bricked)
also please note that while i'm did this i already make sure that i change the port setting to port 41
So now i stucked here, without the working download mode that can be recognized by my PC i think i'm start to running out of option to fix this phone
Please point me to the right direction good people of xda, please, thank you in advance

Okay, so at this moment does the device try to mount quite a lot of partitions? Also does it give any errors on the screen if you power on without trying to boot to download mode or recovery? Ideally we want to see something along the lines of security error.

thanks for your reply, i really appreciate it
well, you're right, it does give me errors when i power on (without trying to go to download mode or recovery mode)
so when i power it on, it shows LG logo then the image goes like corrupt, at first it kinda like shaking then it went blur and last it disappearing, leave the screen into just blank screen.
but my PC recognize it on this moment, just the MTP driver that wasn't
about your first question i'm afraid i can't catch what that means

Hmmm. okay, so what does the pc recognize it as exactly in device manager? Also if you connect the device do you get several pop ups stating that the mounted device needs to be fixed? It's just that if the partitions are being mounted we can reflash them manually using DD commands with ubuntu.

Right, you need to follow this guide i think. Ensure your read it fully before you attempt anything. Now, the lollipop update apparently changed some partitions so I would flash the bumped twrp from the development section instead of the 2.6.3.2 version recommended. Then once you can boot into recovery flash the rom recommended in this post

it's just like the pict that i attached
about the pop ups, no.. i don't think i got those, the only pop ups that appear was the small notification on the bottom right panel that the drivers is being installed, and keep failing on the MTP driver, maybe that's why my PC can't recognizes it under the download mode

if you open disk management what does it say about the g2? also did you install the universal adb driver at any point? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51265001&postcount=30 here it states that installing the universial driver will show your device as a samsung.

Additional! this rom flash assumes you are on a d802 so if your not on a d802 the dont flash it!

okay, i just checked on disk management and it appear that my PC doesn't recognized the G2, what makes it weird, at the same time it recognizes the G2 on device manager on ports (COM & LPT) on port 41, about the adb yes, i do believe i did that long time ago, though i forgot what was my intention of doing so

Hmmm. im stumped. I think its a bit of a catch 22 here. What i think has happened is that the rom flash that was done has changed some of the partition layout, but the methods of fixing that issue is either with DD commands from a custom recovery (which you dont have and cannot flash) or with DD commands using ubuntu when the device is auto-mounting all of your partitions. Its worth a look if you have an ubuntu disk around, if not download here, burn to disk or mount it to a bootable usb and see if ubuntu has any luck with it. Either that or try installing any drivers you can on the pc to get download mode working.
there is also this as a last resort but i've never had to do this so i cannot vouch for it :-/ Good luck pal.
Yeah, i do these.
I used these tool >> https://doc-04-5c-docs.googleuserco...27034/0B_Hol5T47S-benVFYWIxcGlQU0k?e=download
and install bumped recovery 2.8.5.1, then next with otg cabble flash these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59079665&postcount=536.

*EVERY ACTION YOU PERFORM FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK*
That to be said, let's start: i am currently running the latest official nightly build on my d855 and it took me a while to get there. I couldn't find any (real) step-by-step-guide, where i would not have to google any errors or anything else.
Everything you find here is NOT my own knowledge, it is just compilation of sources, that i found on the internet.
Note:
Android 6.0: if you are on 6.0 and you always updated so you're on the latest security-patch-level the one-click-root-method won't work. I recommend downgrading your phone, which will be explained in the following.
Android 5.0: if you're on 5.0 you need to upgrade to 6.0 anyways, bc you need a different baseband-version to install LineageOS. This will also be explained in the following.
1. Make a backup of your phone
this is recommended, although i didn't do this, this is why i am not gonna explain it one here. I just saved my pics and contacts and did a factory reset, restarted my phone, did all the "first time turned on stuff" and connected to my wifi.
Note: Make sure your phone is charged to 60% at least
2. Download the following
a. Download LG G3 Drivers 4.0.4 and install them (i believe there are more recent ones, but this worked for me)
b. Download LG UP
- Download: LG UP Ver. 1.14: LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.msi and LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5.MSI
- Make sure to install the DLL first and then the other .msi
SOURCE: Thanks to hyelton
c. Download the proper KDZ for you phone.
Note: I got this infos from a german site.
This is the 30C KDZ for the 32gb AND 16gb version: Download here
SOURCE: Thanks to mr bo
3. Downgrade/Upgrade your android-version
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Run LG UP (the tool you just installed) and press okay when you see the error message, that no phone is connected.
3. Press "Volume Up" on your phone and HOLD it, connect your phone to you computer via USB 2.0 PORT! This is important, bc connecting via 3.0 won't let LG UP recognize your phone.
4. Your phone is now in download-mode and LG UP should have recognized your phone.
5. Press SELECT, click on UPGRADE, then click on FILE PATH, choose you prefered .KDZ.
6. i recommend refurbishing your phone (This will wipe your entire system and make a clean install).
CLOSE LG UP and start it back up. The .KDZ should still be there. Now select REFURBISH and click on START. Wait until 100% completed and you phone has booted up completely.
Source and further information: Hail hyelton!
Also here is a youtube video: Thanks to kiaTech
4. Root your phone
1. Download the latest kingroot.apk from here.
2. Connect your phone (turned on, after all the "first time turned on stuff") and move the .apk to your Download-folder.
3. Open the (stock) filemanager on your phone and navigate to Downloads.
4. Install the kingroot.apk (enable third party .apk, when asked)
5. Open the app and root your phone (it's simple, believe me).
6. Your phone is now rooted (leave it turned on, DON'T restart)
5. Install TWRP and update to the latest version
1. Download this pack and unzip it.
2. Move the AutoRecMMD855.apk to your phone and install it just like kingroot.apk before.
3. Open the app and follow the instructions.
4. You now got TWRP on your phone.
SOURCE for #4 and #5 till here: Thanks to tute123456
5. Boot into recovery mode (either with the app itself i think or manually. If you have to do it manually. Turn of your phone. Press POWER and VOLUME DOWN at the same time until the screen shows soemthing. Release and immideatly press again. Your phne will ask you if you want to FACTORY RESET. Press YES and YES. If everything is working properly, TWRP should start up).
6. Connect your phone and download the latest TWRP.img you. In example here's the european one Latest LG G3 TWRP EUROPE
7. I assume you never disconnected your phone since moving kingroot.apk to it. So now you just move the TWRP.img to your Download folder.
8. Choose INSTALL on your phone and search for the TWRP.img. Select RECOVERY and flash it.
9. Choose REBOOT and then RECOVERY.
10. Your phone will boot into TWRP again. It should be updated to the latest version 3.0.2-0.
SOURCE: Thanks to everyone who contributed
6. Flash LineageOS and install GApps
1. Download the latest version of LineageOS (nightly) from here
Optional: make a backup of your phone using TWRP and safe it on your pc or internal SD Card, bc in the next step you will wipe your entire system, to get a clean installation.
2. Press WIPE in TWRP and select ADVANCED WIPE. Select everything but "Micro SD Card" and perform the wipe. This will wipe your entire system!
3. Move the .zip file to the Download folder on your phone and press INSTALL in TWRP. Search for the .zip and flash it.
Note: you'll see two red error messages. This is normal!
4. Wipe cache and dalvik as recommended.
5. Download your desired Open GApps package from here. Use "ARM" and "7.1", i recommend the "mini"-package.
6. Move the downloaded file to your Download folder on your phone and flash it just like you did the LineageOS file.
7. Wipe cache and dalvik.
8. In the main menu of TWRP choose REBOOT and then SYSTEM.
9. It will take a while to boot up, don't worry, just leave it there.
10. You succesfully installed the latest LineageOS build on your phone - you can now unplug your phone from your PC also :good:

Hi pheb92,
Big Thank You, If I had to do it bymyself it would have take me hours!!
-3. Downgrade/Upgrade your android-version -- I had trouble finding the right DLL on my Windows 10 system, onetime I managed to use LG - Up. At that moment the DLL loaded was 4.2.0.0. date 23-8-2016 device name "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM6)"
- 6. Flash LineageOS and install GApps -- I flashed straight from a uSD card inserted in the LG G3.
Thank you for the great Setp-by-Step!

as far as i know LineageOS doesn't have an inbuilt root access (so far) like cyanogenmod did. you can only enable root access via adb in the developer options.
i did not root lineageOS myself so far, but you can try the following:
- Download superSU.zip from their official website and flash it via TWRP.
i would appreciate it, if you would share the outcome

LineageOS does have built in root management, but it doesn't ship rooted by default.
This change was made so SafetyNet doesn't get triggered by root and you can use Android Pay on your device.
Just download the su zip from LineageOS download page and flash.

I am stuck on this step. My d855 gets into download mode and LG UP recognizes the phone, but I'm getting the "You have to select a known model, please" error in LG UP. I have uninstalled and reinstalled LG UP and the DLL multiple times, same problem. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, and I tried other drivers, same problem. I tried the tip in another thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089) to change the port to COM41 in device manager, but it didn't help. Btw I also unrooted my d855 (it has 4.4.2 currently) in case that's why the tool couldn't recognize it. Please help!!
Also @hyelton if you can help...
@engmia since you were helping me earlier...

hi supperbowl,
are you sure you're using a USB 2.0 port and the original LG-USB-Cable, that came with the phone?
as far as i experienced it, 4.4.2 should not be an issue.

Have you tried it with the phone booted into the OS? With USB debugging on? Also if running 4.4.2 why not just use the old method?

No I've only tried it with download mode. I have USB debugging enabled in the OS. I am now trying the old method with LG flash tool, so far I'm getting stuck with the LG mobile support tool which keeps saying "upgrade stopped due to an error".
Edit: LG UP doesn't recognize the handset at all with it booted into the OS.

If it's at least detecting unknown device while in download mode it most definitely should show up in lgup when boot up.
Choose MTP mode? And it's not just in "charging mode" or try vice versa?

what also worked for me once was just retrying the process --> turn off, go into LG UP, go into download-mode. if LG UP does not recognize the phone: put the battery out of your phone, close LG UP and start the process again (also with different USB ports and other USB-Cables).

Any way to make the att v35 work on verizon? It should have the hardware is it a firmware update ? I'm a bit noon level at all this custom Rom stuff. I need some directions if I am able to do something please
From my understanding, even flashing an AT&T model to USA unlocked firmware does NOT carrier unlock the phone. You have to get the carrier unlock code from AT&T.

Flashing to NAO carrier unlocked should give it CDMA bands, if V35 can be Frankenstein'ed like V30.

It's probably carrier unlocked, but hasn't been flashed to NAO carrier unlocked firmware so it still has the AT&T V35 bands.

You need to use Dev Patched LGUP to cross flash to NAO carrier unlocked firmware.
You do NOT need to root. We do not have any custom ROMs for V35.
You just need the Dev Patched LGUP from one of the other threads and cross flash to NAO (North American Open Market) firmware over your AT&T V35 model.

Flash in Refurbish mode. Then Master Reset for good measure:
Master Reset -- using buttons:
1. Unplug phone and turn it OFF.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons.
3. When the LG logo appears, quickly release the Power button only -- then immediately press Power button again, while STILL pressing the Volume down button until you see the screen to select Yes to erase and reset everything.
4. Release both buttons so you can make your choices.
With your device powered off, press and hold the Power button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while keep holding the Volume Down button.
Let go of the buttons when the onscreen menu appears.
When you see the option to Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings message prompt, press the Volume Down button to highlight Yes.
Then press the Power button to reset the device.
Wait until the reset is complete then reboot your device. If it’s able to boot up successfully, proceed with the initial setup.

(Or use attached file from bottom of this post. Thanks to @tecknight! Please go here and click the THANK BUTTON!)
2. Extract LGUP_DualMode.zip to a folder on your PC.
3. Browse into the folder and launch LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi.
Follow the prompts to complete the install.
4. Then in that same folder, right click and select "Run as Administrator" on "SetDev.bat" to set LGUP to developer mode. READ THAT AGAIN.
5. Now, launch LGUP using the desktop shortcut created, NOT the folder icon!
As mentioned before, use REFURBISH or PARTITION DL modes. Refurbish is probably better.

It's all fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:
* Make sure you in download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP file.
This is at the top of the list as some people forget to do that. The remainder are in no particular order. If that doesn't work,
* Try different USB port,
* Try different USB cable,
* Try different computer.
* Reinstall LG mobile drivers on your PC.
* Reinstall dev patched LGUP again.
* Reboot the computer.

For future updates, you'll flash future NAO KDZ releases via this same Dev Patched LGUP -- but next time you can use "Upgrade" mode instead of "Refurbish". It's like a manual OTA and will save your data.

That's what I love about DEV patched LGUP--It let's you bend the rules and do some things that would normally require root access, specifically:
--DUMPing of any partition, allowing for data backup and recovery, even on encrypted partitions, since you can also dump the encrypt partition.
--Cross flashing .kdz's from other variants utilizing the same hardware
and
--Flashing only specific partitions from a given .kdz
and I definitely agree that CHIPERASE and BOARD DL are to be avoided--
The most useful options besides REFURBISH and UPGRADE are DUMP and possibly PARTITION DL
Sorry for inserting my two cents into your thread.

Hi.All.I have cross flashed LG v40 Hong Kong version Rom Android 9 with the Korean Android 10 using lgup.
THE Rom was installed but I lost radio.no signal. So then on the advice of a friend I flashed partition dl modem a and modem b from a European version 9.and when the phone rebooted it shows security warnings and says all slots are unbeatable. Any way to put oh in fastboot mode so that lgup can identify.Any easy way out.thx

First of all, these are LG V35 forums but that's fine I guess since the V35 and V40 are same exact when it comes to how to unbrick. You can't mix Android 9 and 10 like that, no wonder you got bricked. At this point, even if somehow you get into LG UP, make sure you don't use any options in LG UP or any other tool that you don't know about. Lot of people tend to use options like 'chiperase' thinking it will fix the phone but they make matters worse and permanently loose their IMEI and EFS partition info.
For LG UP you need download mode, not fastboot mode. Are you able to get to download mode by holding volume up button while the phone is turned off and by plugging in the USB cable that is connected to the computer? I think you should still be able to get into download mode even if phone can't boot but If you can't get into download mode this way and can't boot into android, the next option will be using QFIL/QPST by putting phone into EDL mode. Since the process of unbricking will be same for both V35 and V40 phones, I will briefly guide you here for others with V35 to see this info but if you need further help, it would be best to post in LG V40 forums. The QFIL/QPST folder and V35 engineering bootloader from link below work for both V35 and V40 but rest of files such as firehose and actual partition files are different between the two models.
First go to the LG V40 unlock guide post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207
and download QPST, firehose and v35eng bootloader files attached to the above post and thank the OP. You can just follow that guide as if you want to unlock bootloader but basically you are going to put phone in EDL mode using that guide so you can run QFIL and access partition table using partition manager and flash the files necessary for download mode. All you need is bootloader and and laf partitions to get into download mode which are abl_a or abl_b (based on which slot you are booting from, slot a or b), and laf_a or laf_b. Important to note that laf_a and laf_b are same exact files actually, same is true for abl_a and abl_b. I am uploading the files for V40 on Mega as these were too large for XDA but if anyone needs them for V35 just post here and me or someone else can upload them:
https://mega.nz/folder/o2xEnCSb#W5icT64hASwKk67G9IngEQ
MD5s: abl_a: 3a9e506523e92b6a242af2e1cb5987fd, abl_b: 3a9e506523e92b6a242af2e1cb5987fd, laf_a: cf9edf4748f768cfa3c88ca362ff36b3, laf_b: cf9edf4748f768cfa3c88ca362ff36b3
After you download attached files, flash abl_a file to abl_a partition, then abl_b file to abl_b partition, flash laf_a file to laf_a partition and laf_b file to laf_b partition. You can use Xsavi's guide to put the phone in EDL mode, start partition manager, then use the option load image and flash the files to their respective partitions. I don't remember if these are from Oreo or Pie as I don't own V40 anymore but I think for unbricking purposes it shouldn't matter as you are going to flash a whole KDZ on top of these anyways. Once done, turn phone off, start LG UP on your PC, hold volume up button while you attach the USB cable to the phone and it should put the phone in download mode. Use partition DL and flash full KDZ either Oreo or Pie first before you try going to Android 10, best would be flashing Oreo first as some people have had problems going straight to Pie or Android 10.

You don't need to hold power button. Phone needs to be turned off. Hold volume up and plug in usb cable. Since you are in bootloop, keep holding volume up button (don't hold power button) and plug usb cable in. Once the bootloop cycle restarts it should go in download mode, just don't let go of volume up button until in download mode. If you still can't enter download mode, you are pretty much out of options and have to use EDL mode as i explained above to unbrick your phone.

Thanks a lot. Yes i am holdingvolume up button and inserting usb c but it doesnt go into dowmload mode. But edl mode also requires to boot phone or can it work in a bootloop
---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------
Anothet thing i want to add is that the ph is going in factory reset and even erases all user data.ive even done that. So that means that the ph isnt bricked? But even after that it doesnt go in DL mode

Yeah if you can't enter download mode then in my opinion using QFil and EDL mode is probably the only way to go. You need to read the unlock guide by Xsavi, that i linked earlier: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207
You are not required to boot the phone in order to enter EDL mode but it does require lot of patience as you have to hold volume down and power button until phone screen turns off suddenly to reboot, rapidly start pressing volume up key while still holding the volume down and power button. While you do this phone needs to be plugged in with usb cable and you have to have QFIL window open. Once the phone enters EDL mode, the screen will be dark and blank, but it is detected in QFIL window, you know that you are in EDL 9008 mode.
Unbricking your phone will require a lot of reading, patience, and making sure you understand what you are doing. It seems complicated and overwhelming but trust me when you have all the files setup and are ready to go, the whole process takes like 5 minutes and is not so hard. Again, the key is reading the guides and steps multiple times before you proceed so you know exactly what you are doing.

Thanks im doing reading will getur expert advice soon
Also, factory reset will not help at this point because part of your rom is android 9 and other part is android 10. Erasing userdata and cache (factory reset) in itself will not fix that. What i don't understand though is that just flashing modem_a and modem_b from Android 9 should still allow you to enter download mode since you didn't alter bootloader or the laf partitions. In my opinion the phone should still be able to enter download mode even if it is bootlooping unless more changes were made to phone where bootloader and/or laf partitions were also altered. In any case, it doesn't matter anymore I guess.
Edit: Great, good luck, hope you get it unbricked!

Yes i didnt alter anything apart from the modem partitions thats it and dl mode unavailable.thats the issue.so does this necessarily mean that booting into qfil is the ultimate solution
Can you please tell me that i dont want bootloader unlocked just want dl mode..so for this do i have to follow the whole guide or just part of it to enter edl mode...pls enlighten
Hi sir. I have bootlted into qualcom 9008 mode used qfil and flashed the required partitions which were successfully done. But the phone still cannot boot into download mode . after i flashed i simply exit the qfil and. Piwer down he phone but it still does the same as before and cant get into download mode
.did i miss something

Hi everyone, similar to the previous threads for
OP3, OP3T, OP5, OP5T, OP6, OP6T, OP7, OP7PRO, regular OP7T, T-Mobile OP7T, regular OP7TPRO, T-Mobile OP7TPro 5G, regular OP8 and OP8Pro here is the EDL package (also known as MSM tool or unbrick tool) that can revive a bricked OnePlus 8 bought from T-Mobile.
It will only work with T-Mobile variant IN2017
You should also be able to rollback your phone to a previous release of OOS with them if for some reason you want to go back to an older firmware
You can download the following versions:
ANDROID 10:
OOS 10.5.7
OOS 10.5.20: Gdrive - AFH (credits to @rzracer2 )
OOS 10.5.21 (credits @LLStarks for finding it)
OOS 10.5.22 (credits @LLStarks for finding it)
ANDROID 11:
OOS 11.0.5.7
Mirror for first and last MSMs: https://onepluscommunityserver.com/
Instructions:
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
On the login prompt select "Other" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.
Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.
Click on Target button and select TMO.
Press Start button so that it waits for your device to be connected
Power off your device
Maintain volume up and down buttons to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Plug your device to your computer.
Should you not manage to do that and have adb access, you can use adb reboot edl instead
Wait ~300 seconds.
Enjoy your brand new device.
FAQ:
Does this work on Mac or on Linux?
Unfortunately no, tool is Windows only. You should need at least Windows 7.
Why is my antivirus freaking out when unzipping the archive or running the tool?
In an effort to protect reverse engineering from being done (and by extension prevent conversion process like it was done on 6T and 7Pro), OnePlus now use VM Protect V3 in their MSM tools. As this tries to detect debug environment, this is seen as malicious behaviour by some antivirus.
My device isn't detected
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
If you can't get into EDL mode by hardware keys, you may use adb reboot edl (will require your phone to still have ADB access)
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked above.
MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.
How can I fix "SMT config not found" error?

@sameog this sounds to be an issue with AFH as otherwise it wouldn't have given a link.
Please try the alternative mirror I linked to in OP (password for it is at its bottom)
Additionnaly, even if executable is named MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe its version is 5.1.32 if you go to file properties->details.
Patching executables is way beyond my knowledge, so I cannot assist with that.

Download works fine for me (I'm in Europe and mirror is in Europe as well), there may be an issue with your ISP in regards to peering agreements to Europe.
Unfortunately I cannot do anything for it. As odd as it seems, you may neeed to VPN to Europe to prevent that issue from happening.

I used the volume up and down buttons to get into the edl and it works every time. Make sure you have the right drivers installed and use the original USB cable. Good luck :good:

Yes, it's the T-Mobile version.
These are files I have in my system to "unbrick:" my device:
1. OnePlus 8 T-Mobile 10.5.7 -- unzipped the file before you proceed (you all knew that)
2. QUD.WIN.1.1+Installer-10037.3+Setup -- this is required. If need this, copy and paste this in google. These drivers were hard to find at first. Unzip the download.
3. OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup -- I thought these drivers were unnecessary but they are VERY necessary. (caps for emphasis)
4. When you have unzipped the QUD.WIN.1.1+Installer-10037.3+Setup file and the OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup, go through the setup wizard. NOTE: Oneplus will ask you for something like "Wincom" for something of that nature, click next. It threw me as well. When the drivers have all been setup up and installed, perform a reboot to refresh Windows (it's good practice especially when dealing with drivers.
Guys who are having trouble: This is what I did. I powered off the phone completely. Launch the msm download 4.0. When the dialog box comes up, get your phone ready. When the phone is completely off, press and keep the volume up and down button pressed. Plug the small part of usb into the phone. While holding the volume up and down buttons and phone steady, I plugged in the fat end into the other usb port on your computer since we're dealing with unbricking our phone. You will know when connection is made when you hear the windows "attached" sound and you will see a "connected" text in the field on the top in the msm download tool launch box. Click on the connected to highlight this and click start. Do not play with your phone during this time. Let the program do its thing and your phone will automatically reboot when done.
I hope this helps guys. Wordy yes but it beats being confused as hell....

Guys who are having trouble: This is what I did. I powered off the phone completely. Launch the msm download 4.0. When the dialog box comes up, get your phone ready. When the phone is completely off, press and keep the volume up and down button pressed. Plug the small part of usb into the phone. While holding the volume up and down buttons and phone steady, I plugged in the fat end into the other usb port on your computer since we're dealing with unbricking our phone. You will know when connection is made when you hear the windows "attached" sound and you will see a "connected" text in the field on the top in the msm download tool launch box. Click on the connected to highlight this and click start. Do not play with your phone during this time. Let the program do its thing and your phone will automatically reboot when done.
I hope this helps guys. Wordy yes but it beats being confused as hell....

This tool only restores your phone if it's bricked. No international conversion method yet.
