Use LGUP and UPPERCUT to flash the stock KDZ files. Google how to get into download mode and a guide. Easy to fix.

laf is gone (the partition that runs download mode) in this state I need some way of communication to the device in edl mode. I know what you're saying to do but there is no download mode to get into ive tried... multiple times.
It 100% works. I've fixed handful phones with this exact issue.

Im not arguing the validity of this technique in most cases this would be proper procedure but my failure happened partway through writing partitions.
the partition map is corrupt and laf is empty there is no download mode to communicate with anymore. very specific to MY device download mode has been in the easiest sense of the situation deleted

Sounds like you got 2 warranty issues now. If the bootloader is locked, LG should honour the repair.
There's a program called QFIL (qualcomm flash) and you can use it to flash a kdz. I believe all it does is flashes download mode as once it succeeds and your phone is in download mode you would then reinstall stock kdz. I noticed there's a mention of 'firehose' though and I'm unsure yet of what that is.
Just curious: how did you manage to remove write protected partition while your bootloader is locked?

I had a rooted LG G2 D802 on EE with KK update that was working fine until today...
I tried to flash a nice custom rom to it and well, to cut a long story short something went wrong and the next thing i know i have a phone which only shows up as about 10 hdd's in windows, and as QHSUSB_BULK in device manager.
I couldn't get it to go into download mode or anything, so i followed the Unbricking guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Unfortunately this appeared to do nothing for the phone, so i used the Tung Lee guide and this also did nothing.
After i did the above guide the phone was no longer recognised in windows or Linux, but thanks to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
I was able to at least get it back to the state it was in in the first place.
After following all these guides i am now at a loss as to how to sort my phone out,and i'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction for a fix..
When the phone was working, i put the imei into the firmware engine and it found me the D80220H firmware, i have tried using the bin files from the first guide and from D80220B as well with no luck, so i was wondering if one of the above guides do indeed work, how can i get the .img files i need from a D80220H KDZ?
Its been a long night and i'm now currently without my phone, i'm hoping someone can help and i can get my beloved G2 back to a working state before the weekend.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post.

Have you simply tried the LG Flash Tool? When it happened to me once, i simply reg
Flashed kdz using this tool and voila!!! Try and report
@Shadowhunta Are you using the twrp IMG from that first guide? That might explain why this isnt working. Extract the kdz using this tool
Flash the aboot, boot and laf then try download mode.

I was using the TWRP from that post, but then i downloaded the latest one and that didn't make any difference, I haven't tried that tool properly yet to get the .img files needed from the KDZ i have for D80220H, but i have flashed the aboot, boot and laf of D80220B and that didn't help either, i couldn't get it into recovery mode, download mode or anything! With the first tutorial i managed to get it into Hard reset mode, but it just hung on processing.
Thanks for the suggestions, i will try them during lunch and get back to you both, thank you so far!
Anyone else had the same problem as me, keep the suggestions coming, all are helpful and appreciated

Hi guys
Well after messing with my phone trying to get root I finally bricked it big time. No power at all. Totally dead. Except it does show 9008 mode when connected to the computer.
I had gotten TWRP installed in the DirtySanta rooting process then flashed a stock ROM and then flashed Super SU. I flashed super su immediately following the flashing of the ROM. Not sure if I was supposed to reboot THEN flash super su. But I read in a thread that I didnt need to reboot between ROM and super su.
It was totally my fault...looking for a possible fix..as small a chance of that maybe.
Tha ks in advance!

You can't flash KDZ when the phone is in 9008 mode. There are no options currently. Your phone is as good as dead.
But, we are looking into a de-BRICK method, involving SD-Card boot. May or may not work.

If not fix, they probably will replace the motherboard for you, if you're under warranty.

Ok thx!
Will the LG service center know that I tried to root or tried to modify my phone?
I will go in person to my local LG service center tomorrow
Probably will not if they simply replace the motherboard.
That is what they seem to do, but I can't be sure. Might depend on the service center.
When I bricked mine the first time they just did a MB swap, but I specifically told them I flashed the wrong file. I didn't mention root though. I let them imply that I used LG UP and it failed somehow
Do you guys think the reason it bricked is because of the wrong ROM or because I didnt reboot after installing the ROM and flashed SUPER SU directly after and then I rebooted?? I did it through TWRP

9008 is usually due to flashing the wrong kdz or erasing your bootloader. a rom will not cause 9008
Phone: T-mobile SM-G950U
Hello. After receiving root the phone was flashed using flashfire on stock firmware g9500 ( Select in ""firmware flash package" AP, BL, CP, CSC from g9500 firmware, tap on all available check mark)
Now phone is not turn ON (black screen). In device Manager, is defined as qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008. QPST, QFIL show "Phone in dowmnload mode", "Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download)
For QPST files you need mprg8998.hex and many other files... How i can unbrick phone?
Update:
Unbrick files for s8 and s8+
1) Connect in EDL mode (9008 port in device manager)
2) start G95XU2_Recovery.bat
3) go Bootloader and flash with patched Odin firmwire
I'm in the same boat as you, we're you ever able to resolve your issue? And if so how?
Lol sm-g9500 is a different phone, I hope your didn't flash bl it can brick the device
Yea you're phone is not recoverable via flashing normal firmware. You flashed the wrong firmware. You will need to bring it to someone who has the ability to do an edl (emergency download mode) repair which is very difficult to do so it's likely better to try and get it replaced.
There is a way to do it by creating sdc files using Atf box, an SD card, a jig and a micro to type c converter. I just ordered a box, I'll share the rescue file if it works.
Partcyborg I do believe that if I have that img file I can fix it, although
I think he can just reflash with odin the true rom is happen to me too no problem
In this mode you cannot even put your phone into download mode or even recovery. It's because the bootloader is messed up, you must have a service rom to fix it, or there are ways to put your phone into download mode using a sdc. It's a hard brick.
The problem is that you cannot access download mode or recovery mode, the phone is unresponsive.

I live in India And I imported phone from USA it's a T Mobile Unit. What are the options? Anything can be done at hardware level ? Without changing the entire motherboard?
No. Order an H918 with a cracked screen and clean IMEI off of eBay (actually it doesn't even have to have a clean IMEI, you can use the one from your current phone), and replace the board.

The above is still true, if this didnt happen immedately after/during rooting/flashing something or using a dd command (while also rooted) your board is dying and you need a new one.

I looked around and found related issues but they could boot recovery. I can't. I always get rpm crash after lg logo. Like I said though, I cant boot recovery manually, does the yellow screen rpm crash again. I do still have the your device is corrupt at beginning before lg logo, the black, then crash. Ls997. Please help and thank you.
So I can fastboot flash, meaning I have unlocked bootloader still right?
Fastboot flashed boot.img, recovery.img and same issue. Yellow rpm crash screen after lg logo. I dont know what else I can do.

If you can get into fastboot... I would try to get into download mode and KDZ it back tonstock and then mod from square one... Probably would loose everything on internal SD though. Not sure what RPM does or is for.

To be safe, I'd take the same VS995 KDZ you took when first going through the Dirty Santa process. For most of us LS997 users, that would have been VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz which you can get here:

Sorry to see this. So fastboot mode is the only one that works without crashing?
Maybe it's worth reaching out to one of the experts out there. The guy who did the newer rooting procedure for the H918 and wrote the LS997-specific rooting guide, Brian, did reply to someone with a similar problem before in this thread that you may have already come across:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/help/yellow-screen-death-rpm-crash-boot-t3637772
Though no solution was posted, he might have some ideas. Don't know how much he's around nowadays since he went with a V30 a while back, but it's worth a shot contacting him. I'd hate to see another rare rootable LS997 get lost.
