Hard bricked v20 - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Hi, folks,
My lg v20 has been hard bricked. No recovery mode can be done, nor download mode. no response at all on power button, volume up and down.
Only thing I can notice is when I connect the phone to pc 'qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008'.
Anybody has a solution for this?
Many thanks in advance.

Depending on your carrier mine ATT has a one year warranty replacement program

At this point you probably have an unrecoverable hard brick when you see the 'qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008'. To save the next person, please list what you were attempting when this occurred.
*Not a fan of claiming warranty with carrier due to something you flashed, a large part of why the carriers are as strict with locking bootloaders as they are.

The N9005 is an Exynos SOC chip. The VZW Note3 (SM-N900V) uses a completely different SOC - a Qualcomm 8974.
What you did got a similar result as to what you might expect if you flashed the firmware from a digital camera - or a vacuum cleaner - on to your phone. 100% certainty of disaster.
Take it in to a Verizon store and see if they can do anything. Don't explain anything at all about what you did; just say "I don't know what happened - it won't boot up, but something still happens when I connect it to a PC". Try to be very nice. Maybe even so nice that you (carefully) offer a bribe if you manage to talk to a tech.
Do this even if you are not a Verizon customer. The worst they can do is tell you "No, GTFO".
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and you are in a desperate situation.
PS: please report back as to what the outcome is.

Chinese Axon 7 is not seen in ADB or MiFlash..Bricked??

After installing twrp on my chinese axon 7 latest B16 I rebooted accidentally and now my phone gets stuck on the the ZTE logo.
I cant enter recovery as when I press volume up + power, it reboots a couple of times with the zte logo and nothing else.
Also when entering EDL mode the only thing my PC is showing in device manager is "Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) (COM6)". Before it was showing as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" but no more, even after multiple reboots and installing the qualcomm drivers again.
Before when running "adb devices" in the CLI I would see my device but now nothing. and running adb reboot edl shows error: no devices/emulators found.
Also tried MiFlash but when I hit refresh I dont even see COM in the list, its just blank.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
as I tried the below guide but get stuck as my device is never picked up by ADB or MiFlash

Yeah, DFU brick. You basically need to follow the 4th category brick repair guide. Good luck

wow damn..I found this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/a2017-4th-category-brick-repair-manual-t3585898
But I see it involves me opening the device which I am trying to avoid as a last resort.
I just sent the seller from Ali-express to see if they will replace it.
Never actually told them that I was tinkering with it.
Fingers crossed on the reply, will update the thread once I receive a reply.

well that's the other way lol
I had to follow the guide, and it fixed my phone, so be assured that you can fix it if they send it back
It seems I got really luck as putting my phone in Factory test mode made device manager finally show "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" which I was then led MiFlash in detecting it.
I was then able to flash Stock B13 and from there unlock the bootloader, flash twrp and root.

Usually you can't enter Factory Test Mode when on a DFU brick. The known procedure to do that is to discharge the phone, then put it into FTM somehow and then using ADB to get to EDL. It's really weird that you've been able to pull that off that way
Could you tell us how you got into FTM? Just by vol down and power? It would be a nice addition to the brick guide, before attempting to take the phone apart
Yeah, it was just by power + volume down.

You guys can still unbrick by putting the phone in 9008 mode and using the QFil method mentioned here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/lg-g6-unbrick-method-t3935924
(Thank the OP in the thread.)
OP above does warn that the method will not work for T-Mobile version of g6, H872.
Do make sure that phone is detected in 9008 mode when you connect to Windows PC. If it is not detected, you might have to put phone in 9008 mode by grounding the connection point on motherboard. You will need to remove the back glass, some screws and and connect the connection point located below flash for camera to the ground plate in phone as shown here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/lg-g6-testpoints-edl-mode-9008-t3916962
(Thank the OP in the thread.)
Let's hope your phones are already detected in 9008 mode on PC so you don't have to open the back of phone. This is a bit complicated process and not many will be able to help you if you get stuck with anything, so best would be to read through the posts and making sure you understand all the steps before proceeding and asking OP in those threads if you get stuck. I have only used this method once and it worked for me. There is no visible indication when phone enters EDL mode by short circuiting the board. Have a device manager window open and phone connected to the PC via USB when you attempt short circuit so you know once it enters 9008 mode. Good Luck.

Phone stuck on EDL mode and Error firehosecheckrsp failed errno 258

hi, everyone , i m tring to revive my hard bricked oneplus 8 pro but without any luck i m getting "firehosecheckrsp failed errno 258" error , i tried every possible solution a did find (Drivers, Cable, USB 2 , other pc) , i m convinsed tha i shoud start search for a motherboard replacements (even that i coudnt find on the internet)
so please if anyone could help me (Phone stuck on EDL mode - recognised by pc but buttons combination doesn't work )
If you're in edl mode, have you attempted to MSM back to stock?
That's about as low level as you can get, so from a recovery perspective if that doesn't work then nothing will.
Also have you tried holding all the buttons for a long time? Say 30 seconds?
Bare in mind that EDL mode will not remain on for very long, you have to have the MSM tool open and ready for the connection, then with the phone off. Connect it to pc and hold volume up and down, you'll hear the windows ding and it'll say connected on the MSM tool, then and only then click start, flashing should commence and it'll remain locked in EDL until complete.
Lastly you're in warranty so you shouldn't need to buy or replace anything.

Did you make sure you changed the target device?
Also, what model 8 pro? Are you using correct msm for that model? And it almost sounds like you aren't using correct drivers. Qualcomm USB drivers are needed

Hey, I think you reached out to me on YouTube. Do you know for sure which model of OnePlus 7T you have? There are two common versions in North America HD1907 (T-Mobile) and HD1905 (international unlocked)

Hey Nick, thanks for responding. It was bought unlocked North America version but then ATT customer support went into the phone while trying to fix something and I think they locked it right before it crashed.

Looking around, the North America version should be running international firmware (HD1905):
OnePlus 7T hardware variants
I was curious about the different hardware variants of the 7T and decided to ask support once EU launch went over and they kindly answered. HD1900: China HD1901: India HD1903: Europe HD1905: North America HD1907: T-Mobile USA

I presume that you're using this MSM tool - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.3994835/
Did you try all of the steps suggested by OP, yet?
Install drivers
Change to factory cable
Different USB port
Different Windows computer?
The only thread I could find where this problem was solved was on the OnePlus forum. The user completely removed and reinstalled the Qualcomm drivers (a different PC should handle that) - https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/solved-closed-trying-to-unbrick-op5t.956810/

LG G6 UK H870 unlock bootloader in 2023

The official way to unlock the bootloader has been unavailable for just over a year, since LG ended their developer program as of 01/01/2022 and you now can't apply for an unlock file anymore.
Searching for a work-around I found this: https://drfone.wondershare.com/unlock/lg-bootloader-unlock-how-to.html
I have tried as best I can to follow these instructions and fail because I can't get my device to enter Qualcomm EDL 9008 mode by any keypress combination, or ADB or fastboot command from OS (Windows and Linux tested). I suspect my edition of the phone doesn't have EDL, or the method of accessing it is not correct in all instructions I've seen. I can get in to fastboot, and LG download mode (which shows in device manager as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port), but not Qualcomm ADL 9008 mode which should show in device manager as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
I'd rather not brick my device, but it is a spare, and I thought I'd try and soup it up with a newer AOSP-Extended before maybe gifting to my partner.
AND!! I'm suspicious of the instructions in the first place! At the bottom, it advertises a piece of software to something related. As a Windows technician in my day job, I see this too often, can't solve bluescreen error 0x123abc45 just download this trialware to fix your PC!!
Try "adb reboot edl" from adb, anyway yes that site is not good
Hey, thanks for coming back to me.
I have tried that, but have just repeated right now to remind myself the outcome, which is, phone reboots as normal. Does not enter EDL mode. Windows and Linux.
Cheers

Isn't the method to access EDL on the G6 through shorting two pins on the mobo?
LG G6 TestPoints for EDL Mode (9008)
Simple af. Just short them. For incase that doesn't work;
forum.xda-developers.com
Also, that guide is just a re-worded one for the LG G7 One, not the G6, which use different processors. An engineering bootloader for the LG G6 has not leaked yet, and likely will not leak since it's been 6 years.
LG G7 One Bootloader Unlock [How-to]
Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk, blah blah blah. Brick your phone its on you.. Just a quick tutorial on bootloader unlocking the G7 One. Lots of the info in here can be found in other areas of XDA. *****Read full post before...
forum.xda-developers.com
Hey thanks for the input!
I'm reluctant to go in since the glass is splintered on the back of the unit, that's the main reason I changed my phone nearly 2 years ago.
There are enough varying instructions of there to suggest that EDL on that phone can be accessed by I think five methods.Two methods involve commands from PC, one method is button press combinations whilst connected to PC, another is a special EDL cable and then lastly, the test points.
The guides I've seen explaining the keypress routine says it works for a range of LG phones with qualcomm chips, including the G6 but I have they're wrong. Example:
Dont bother with dr phone. I previously used it to backup my phone. It wanted me to pay to restore but all it did was create a zip of my internal storage.
I think it is highly unlikely that they have a secret way of unlocking one of the hardest to unlock bootloaders on a phone.
