Dead, Unbrick, Debrick F460. Dead/boot security error/boot loop kitkat,lollipop version bootloaders, 9006, 9008 modes
FIRST install lg united mobile drivers, connect mobile with battery to pc, check in device manager com ports if 9006 or 9008 mode.
if you can go into custom recovery mode twrp/cwm, then it easy to fix... u need to flash zip.but your self have to make it right now of same version. here the link tutorial.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 OR try adb or terminal command or u need to make zip file. i lost that link. better try ubuntu method also.
CASE1:
if 9006 or 9008 mode, ROOTED,on lollipop/kitkat/marshmallow before phone dead but rooted, first try debrick sdcard which is simpler, then use ubuntu method. this works only if rooted before phone dead. only root access allows to rewrite files on partition here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
CASE2:
only 9008 mode, phone dead on lollipop/kitkat/marshmallow, not rooted, then try debrick image and Ubuntu methods. sucess rate is very low.
Guys!
the sdcard debrick may success. then these files can debrick it.
OUr devices can be fixed. After lot of research i found it. kindly go through the link given below for tutorial and do debrick. You need to try from 140 to 220. hope YOU THANK ME HERE is the Link http://m.blog.naver.com/kangmincraft/220675995736

Read this post who unbricked his dead mobile http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66264994&postcount=14
just poweron the device after inserting the sdcard. check few times. try to go download mode.
use google translator if needed.
TIPS
sdcard miniumum 4GB, use old sdcards first. then latest memory cards, try sdcard memory higher than phone memory is advantage. try these 3 types.
debrick140 worked for most of them. try this first if you are on lollipop.
Lollipop bricked roms have higher luck.
after successful unbrick, use poweriso/ultraiso to format sdcard. i used poweriso>tools>cleanusb. then format in your pc.
ATTENTION MARSHMALLOW: IF YOU NO ROOT, NO CUSTOM TWRP, NO DOWNLOAD MODE. THEN THERE IS NO DEBRICK IMAGE YET. NOTHING WORKS. GIVE TO REPAIR RIFF,OCTOPUS BOX.

hi manowar.
you can solve the problem with using debrick.img files.
go to the link and solve the problem!
Hello Vega and Kathik, I have not done the process yet, I will do it tonight, and then I will inform the results.
I also wanted to thank you for the hard work you are doing in publishing this tutorial and translate it into English, I know you're still working on it, but so far it is understandable and looks promising.
I have some questions to you, to clarify the process that will perform tonight, please, answer me this:
I just have a 32 GB microSD Class 10, does this serve? Or it is too large in capacity? (By the way, my Lg G3 F460K is 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM, it has Android Lollipop 5.0.1 with HOANG LAM CAT6 1.6 ROM and it was rooted)
When I will do the format to the microSD card, before passing by the win32Disk, what format I give it? ¿FAT32 or NTFS? Or the Win32 software do it for me when it will formated the microSD?
After inserting the microSD prepared, simply press the button on/off on the phone? Or I must do any combination of on/off + vol + or any other?
It is rare to found any solution for this korean model, there are only solutions for the international models, but it seems there is nothing for the Korean model (F460L,S,K). I hope that this work will help many people in this situation and prevent all those who are paying for solving this problem.
Please brothers, answer my questions and I will do the rest. Many thanks!!!

How I bring back my G3 F460 from Death
Hello, I'll explain you all how I recovered my LG G3 F460K from death, I must first thank @Kathik and @Vega_Kangmin for their guidance, tutorials and files, without them I would not have been able to recover my phone, the steps are basically as they are explained in Vega_Kangmin´s tutorial:
http://m.blog.naver.com/kangmincraft/220675995736
However, I found some differences that stopped me so I had to read and research in Google to make decisions and to continue with the process.
These are the steps that I follow:
1. Download all programs and files suggested in Vega_Kangmin´s tutorial.
2. I extracted the files from the original KDZ Lollipop (F460K20C_00.kdz) and put it in the folder that I call “ADB”. (My G3 had the Lam Hoang 1.6 Android 5.0.1 Rom and was rooted with debugging enabled).
3. With the Win32Disk Imager I make the first boot image to use in the phone with a microSD card, first I try with the debrick image called “debrick140.img” and the screen did nothing, unanswered. Then with the win32Disk Imager I created the image boot with 160MB and bingo!! It works!!, the screen showed the LG logo and immediately fell in Fastboot mode. Here I tell you my first warning: the only microSD card that I have was a 32GB Class 10, so I used it, then the win32Disk Imager program created in it a new partition table and reduced the 32Gb capacity only to 85MB, so after I had saved my phone, I have to save my microSD card, for that, I used Ubuntu, and one program called “Gparted” I uses it to redefine the partition table. So, beware!!!
4. I opened a CMD´s window in the folder "ADB" (shift + right click, click on "open a command window here"), plugged my phone in the PC (Windows installed the drivers of ADB interface and immediately it recognized) and I wrote my first command to verify that everything was in order:
fastboot devices
If all goes well it should show up this:
List of Devices attached
LGF460XXXXXXX device
Then I proceeded with the ADB commands, but in the tutorial I found some errors in the syntax of the commands and the order they should be done, the correct syntax is:
To remove files the syntax is ok, example: fastboot erase aboot
This is the syntax to flash new files is: fastboot flash aboot aboot.bin
(Don´t forget to change names of the extracted kdz files)
And the order for all the process in the ADB pront is this:
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot flash aboot aboot.bin
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.bin
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.bin
fastboot erase rpm
fastboot flash rpm rpm.bin
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.bin
fastboot erase modem
fastboot flash modem modem.bin
fastboot erase SBL1
fastboot flash SBL1 sbl1.bin
fastboot erase tz
fastboot flash tz tz.bin
fastboot erase sbi
fastboot flash sbi sbi.bin
fastboot reboot
exit
Note: none of these files should be used BackupGPT.bin, PrimaryGPT.bin (if you use it the ADB will return an error saying that these tables do not exist, the file misc.bin neither will use because we do not have it and it isn´t important to revive the G3, this information I got it from here:
"YOU NEED TO EXTRACT 10 FILES FROM TOT (if you use a tot file) (aboot, boot, SBL1, dbi, laf, recovery, modem, misc, rpm, tz) and 9 FILES FROM KDZ (this is our case for the Lg G3) (misc file is not present in KDZ so dont worry it is not important) "
That out of here, please read it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/unbrick-lg-model-download-recovery-t3060184 -----> Thanks to @hacklockx
5. After restarting the phone it show up the LG logo (this is a good news), so flash an official ROM with the LG Flash Tool as you already know and enjoy our super phone again.
By the way, in my case, after the process restart with the ADB commands, my phone start normally with all my stuff installed, I lost nothing, as if nothing had ever happened, however, I noticed slow and the camera didn´t work so I flash it with the official rom F460K20C_00.kdz and it was like new. Then I rooted it, installed the TPWR and flash again the Lam Hoang 1.6 ROM with Android 5.0.1, then installed the Xposed and that´s all!!
I hope you serve!!

Try these options:
1. Change your battery, try another one, in my case I have two battery, one cause endless bootloop on my G3.
2. Use the "LG Mobile Support Tool", install the program, open it, connect your G3 and see the magic happens :good:
Good luck bro

As per the title, I foolishly deleted the boot and aboot. I did this because my phone malfunctioned a few days back suddenly giving a yellow screen after booting. I searched for many solutions but there were none. So I came across with a tutorial which teaches me to delete those file and reinstall via fastboot. I did the delete part but suddenly phone got disconnected and I wasn't able to reinstall the boot images. Now when I plug the USB and tries to switch on, I can feel the vibration but the screen is not coming up. Can someone please help me with a way to restore the phone. Ill make a 40$ donation to the person who will give a solution to recover the phone again .
Only LG has a prayer of fixing it. Without aboot, you can't boot into anything, and it's responsible for fastboot too. Basically never ever touch aboot, and if for some reason you absolutely must, don't delete, just flash a new one over it... Though since chances are you don't have a US996 unlocked through LG you would have at least soft bricked since an engineering aboot is what's responsible for keeping the bootloader unlocked on everything else but the h918
does that include laf too?
Have you tried holing the volume up key and plugging in the usb cable to see if it can boot up directly to laf and then use lg bridge recovery or lg update to flash the kdz for your phone?

Includes laf too. Aboot boots EVERYTHING. He is d o n e bricked and in 9008 mode. For a detailed description of the boot process, see @runningnak3d 's post on how not to brick. He's recently said it's not entirely accurate, but it still gives a good enough overview of the booting process, most relevant:
This time the XBL verifies ABOOT with its own RSA key. If ABOOT is OK, then it loads. At this point, you will have download mode, and at least you can recover (if you have a KDZ). No matter what -- NEVER mess with XBL or ABOOT unless you absolutely want a brick. If ABOOT is corrupt or invalid in some way, then the CPU goes into QD_LOADER (9008) mode.
So now we have ABOOT loaded. ABOOT does a lot of things. Directly, it provides fastboot mode, indirectly, it provides download mode by booting laf. In order to have download, you have to have a working laf. LAF is just a kernel with an initrd that runs lafd (more on that later). ABOOT also allows you to boot recovery. Again, recovery is just a kernel with an initrd.

No. In fact aboot provides fastboot as explained in the bit of Runningnak3d's post I quoted above, and that's also why doing dirty Santa which installs an engineering aboot enables fastboot mode, where as the stock aboot for the v20 (except for the h918 and us996) has fastboot disabled.
Do we even know what variant he has?
It doesn't matter what model he has. If you null out xbl or aboot you don't even get QDLOADER (9008) mode. They can be corrupt, or have the wrong RSA sig, or ...... and you will get 9008. If the PBL tries to load them and they don't exist at all it goes into an infinite loop and the only way to fix it is to replace the NAND.

You cannot unlock bootloader anymore. So try flashing normally. If your hardware is not damaged then you might me able to make it work.

Since it is booting into fastboot mode i dont think its damaged.But the problem is its my first time for flashing so i dont know very much about it.
What i know is that , i installed adb in my system ,and then through command prompt i tried to detect my device But its not getting detected.So if you can please provide me a brief guide for flashing phone.

K.. install adb(https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566 ). If you had installed moto assistant then you'll have the drivers. If not then google motorola drivers and install them(http://www.motorola.com/getmdmwin ).
Once it's done. Open the folder where adb is installed.
Hold shift and right click>open command promt here.
At this point boot into the bootloader on your phone (fastboot mode).
On cmd type fastboot devices.
If your device is detected then it will show on screen.
If you get to this part.
Start flashing thru fastboot.
Get the files from google( or https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL)
Instructions to flash are in xda.
If you get failed to flash: security version downgrade then you're probably flashing an older firmware. Download the latest.
If you get failed to flash: preflash validation failed then there's not much you can do. Or atleast i don't know a solution to that.
its not detecting my device
Actually the problem is that it is not detecting my device when i give this command, although i have installed device drivers and adb also....This is is the problem

Here's a guide to flash stock firmware.
Try the linked Mini ADB & Fastboot, if your device isn't recognised try to connect it to another usb port or use another usb cable.
Are you sure that you're in fastboot mode when you type the commands?
Read the guide carefully.
You need:
Latest signed stock firmware:
Europe (RETEU):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/13WuhoogtAdoincAyTwCLvRj0d-Z9kL0P/view?usp=sharing
India (RETIN):
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
US (RETUS):
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
flashallO.bat:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfh67uzfle9hsco/flashallO.bat?dl=0
Motorola drivers:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0WGdtNWubBJYnlDcWRBZXltanc/view?usp=sharing
Mini ADB & Fastboot
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lLYfimKN1U5CJ9cfpTCkhtMiuG8EfXBZ/view?usp=sharing
1) Download the 8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2 Indian firmware (it's the last one for the Moto G5+ (potter).
2) Install Mini ADB & Fastboot (best place is the root directory of C:/ or how the partition/hard drive is named where your OS resists), not in program files or another folder.
3) Extract the firmware to that ADB & Fastboot folder.
4) Download my "flashallO.bat" and move it to that folder too.It removes the need for you to manually flash all partitions, just double-click it and it'll run all the commands for you.
5) Download and install Motorola device drivers.The program is called "Motorola Device Manager".
6) Reboot your phone to the bootloader. To do this, turn it off, then hold down the power and volume down buttons until you see a bugdroid undergoing open-heart surgery.
7) Connect the phone to your PC with your USB cable. Type
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if your device is connected. A serial number should be shown.
8) Run the flashallO.bat script. (Caution: This will wipe your device completely!) It will take some time to flash, just be patient and don't worry.
NOTE: If the command window appears for a brief moment then disappears, device drivers may not be installed. Ask again then.
9) Once the command window closes, it should have completed the flashing process and you are safe to press the power key on the phone to start Android. Just make sure that the text near the buttons reads "START".

You're always talking about ADB commands, it's Fastboot that you have to use, it's described above how you get there.
What image do you mean when you say it's not flashing?
The guide is complete, read it carefully.
You have to download a zip file, in your case the Indian (RETIN) variant:
XT1686_POTTER_RETIN_8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Unpack it to fastboot folder, use the flashallO.bat to flash the firmware.
Please clarify what image you're talking about and if you do the fastboot flash like described above please provide the recovery.log , you can do that in TWRP->advanced->copy log, if TWRP is installed.
Try to flash the firmware and immediately after that grab a log and attach it here.

Sry it's fastboot not adb .But the image i am trying to use is indian(retin) as you provided.And i followed all steps as they were given.
But i dont know how to get log files.
Also i would like to mention that this is my first time trying flashing a phone and as per my knowledge we have to install twrp recovery which i haven't done.its a normal phone with locked oem.

You don't need logs. Your phone is locked so you cannot flash twrp. Only thing you can do is flash using fastboot commands. Just download the firmware.. extract. Put all of those files in the adb folder and run the flashall.bat or individual commands like fastboot flash recovery recovery.img which ever you feel is easier for you.

That´s what I´ve said. If you would have TWRP you would be able to send a recovery.log but all you want to do is to flash a signed fastboot firmware. That´s possible without TWRP or unlocked bootloader, just by fastboot. Unzip the indian firmware
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
into your Mini ADB & Fastboot folder, place the flashallO.bat there too and double-click it, everything in fastboot mode as described before.
What happens when you do that? Are the commands executed in the command window of your Windows PC?
Can you make a screenshot of it? The guide I posted has everything you need in it, you have to tell me what happens when you try to flash the unzipped firmware.
Just to be clear, the firmware and everything has to be on your PC, not your moble device!
i tried to take screen shot of it but was unable to do it but was successful in copying the complete commands log in text file so here it is

Ok, that doesn't look to good.
The whole process is failing right at the start when the device is trying to build the partition table.
Have you tried different USB cables and ports?
Imo there are only two possible solutions:
Your device isn't working with fastboot correctly or its a hardware failure, the eMMC (the internal SD) may be corrupted. As your device is locked and hasn't been modded in any way this is the most plausible scenario also because it crashed out of the blue.
The only thing you can try yet is to use a different ADB and Fastboot tool, this one for example:
Minimal ADB & Fastboot:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10NEzpxKpYWfq-HdK42ctwoEnCg-BfsRQ/view?usp=drivesdk
If all that changing of ports, cables and tools doesn't help you have to bring your device to a service center, they will most probably change the motherboard which isn't a cheap repair so if your device isn't under guarantee anymore you have to consider it it's worth the money.
Good luck!

So i tried with different fastboot software which you provided but i get the same errors .On phone when these commands run i get these messages failed to validate bootloader image and some thing called piv is also not able to be validated.
So i think its the end of my testing journey. Now can you please tell me how much chances are there for software issue. And is there any thing else i could.Any way i got to learn so many things through this but if is there anything left. Or should i go to service center

I think you've done everything that's possible.
The device wasn't rooted,modded,unlocked or something.
It showed the failure out of the blue.
You tried different fastboot tools, cables, ports and the correct firmware.
I asked someone with more knowledge about your log and the whole case and he is thinking the same as I do.
So the chance for a software problem is really small. I told you everything I know, maybe a service center has more options for software checks but as far as I know they use the good old Lenovo Motorola Software Assistant.
So I would recommend to go there and ask (before they do anything) what you have to pay if your eMMC is broken. Here in Germany they always change the whole motherboard, the costs are about the half of the price you paid for the device here.
If your still under guarantee it's a different story.
I'm sorry, I told you everything I know and I flashed my Moto G5+ several times.
My opinion is that the device has a hardware failure and visiting the service center is the only thing you could do now.
I really would like to give you better news.

Read this thread. You can flash signed Motorola firmware like discribed. If you don't want to lose your data you can try to omit the "erase user data" command. Just delete it out of the flashallO.bat.
