Hi,
Does anybody have any of these files:
patch0.xml
rawprogram0.xml
I have the prog_emmc_firehose_8996_ddr.mbn but only need these 2 xml files.
Problem that is.... I flashed the phone selecting the wrong firmware with LG Tools downgrading the phone to 10j and got stuck in qualcomm mode 9008
Anybody?

Just a word of caution using a firehouse will most likely leave your phone in an undesirable state.

You're SOL, one of our devs tried several months ago with someone else who was bricked and still had no luck. Plus whatever firehose you found almost certainly won't work on an H918, you need one explicitly for the H918, and not any random other msm8996 phone.

@menmunirith If you want to try the debug firehose, I will be glad to send it to you. However, generating the XML files is something you will have to do (sorry, that is not effort that I am willing to expend).
I created the XML file to root by bricking and then flashing TWRP and the engineering aboot, but I have not created the XML files needed to completely reflash a phone (which is what you will need to do).
Let me know if you want to give it a try, and I will send you a link.

Yes please... I tried to generate XML files with Qualcomm Premium Pool but always run into errors with the PrimaryGPT_0 file saying there's no gpt in it....

Like Phoenix591 said; even with the xml files, what are you going to do? Can't do anything in 9008 mode without the signed firehose loader for H918.
In this post you can find some examples of these files generated for various LG G5 variants.
The firehose included in the rar-file is the same one mentioned by runningnak3d (but it won't work for H918). Just remove the Chinese characters from the link.
So it's a dead end eh.... Why are they making things so hard for the consumers..... SMH!
I know right... Had the same "shock" myself a while back. I'd been dabbling a little with phones before I purchased an el'cheapo H918 on ebay to play with, but those where of a different breed, as I never expected there would be no way to recover from a brick.
I have lots of experience with computers and arm devices like tv-boxes. Been playing with firmware, bios modding etc... Now suddenly LG and Qualcomm tells me I can't even load the original firmware back onto the device.
Just to give an example of what talking about:
I have a fanless mini-pc I bought from Aliexpress 3-4 years ago. Recently it's been acting up with the later Win10 updates, I logically concluded I needed to update the bios, but... good luck finding a bios update for a no-name aliexpress pc.
So what I did was; I used some Intel specific tools to dump the bios and then modify it, updating vga rom, gop rom and cpu microcode. And now I can actually continue to use it. Previously I could not, as it was randomly restarting. Most ppl would have thrown it away at that point.
Now imagine if it was not possible to dump and/or flash a new bios to the motherboard, how ridiculous would that be.
I will not stop harassing anyone I can until I can write my OWN RSA key into the CPU so I can have verified boot AND run my own firmware.
On PCs we can install our own SecureBoot keys -- that is EXACTLY what this is, SecureBoot for phones. We should have the exact same rights. The modem being the ONLY exception.
I understand the need to not have people messing with the modem firmware, since you could crank up transmission power, and do other nasty things.
Simple solution -- keep a separate RSA key just for modem firmware verification.

Ok.... I forgot to mention that I made a TOT backup of this device. (LGH918AT-01-V10t-310-260-MAR-06-2018-ARB01+0.tot) What are my chances of recovering from this TOT?
No. You haven't been able to flash TOT files since MM.

How about extracting the files and compile to make xml files out of this TOT?

The firehose you have is almost certainly not the correctly signed by LG firehose for the H918 (which is even different from the LG firehose for the other V20s), and even when a correct firehose was used (the firehose for the v20s except the H918 which IS a different key and was attempted in the post I quoted) it still wasn't able to unbrick a different model V20 (presumably judging by their public silence after the attempt).
You have spare parts unless you want to send to LG to give them a chance to fix it.

Can I ask how did you make this TOT, qualcomm premium tool, or something?
Probably it contains the needed files, yes.
If you hang onto it, and the phone, then perhaps eventually you'll be able to unbrick. But you don't really need a dump of *your* phone to accomplish that, unless you erased some important unique partitions.
Would be cool if we'd have a leak of LG factory tools/firehose soon

I used Z3x LG to create TOT file.... the file is still the same..... haven't changed anything. I tried to extract this TOT but it's telling me the PrimaryGPT is around 40Gigs when extracted... I don't have that much space available in my laptop
I'm sorry, it seems you have trouble absorbing the info that's been handed to you.
My last post was not to indicate that the TOT could help you in some way, simply that it contains the bootloader (just like any KDZ).
Read Phoenix591's post just above mine. He explains it well.
And here's my supplement: You told us you have this: "prog_emmc_firehose_8996_ddr.mbn"
That file will not work on any LG phone. That can be determined from the name itself - *emmc* and *mbn*. Those are wrong, the right ones are: *ufs* and *elf*.
Second, there exist no known firehose, publicly, that will work on a LG H918.
Your only hope is that eventually one will leak, or that the Z3x, Infinity, Octoplus etc... Team will be able flash in 9008 mode on H918.
Or send it to LG for repair.
Can someone send me the firehose? I won't use it on my phone, i'm just curious how this all works.

Guys, I really need to find the LG DLL file database for flashing .TOT files.
The DLL file I need is for the LG G2 D80510B_00 or LG G2 D80510A_00 TOT file firmwares, to be used on 1.6 LGFlashTool, for Brazil unbranded variant of the phone. I believe it will work for all D805 models.
The .TOT file I intend to use is LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G+0.tot
I have scoured the internet for over a week and found none other than in a chinese LG G2 forum, the link -- http://bbs.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=662769&extra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=2381 -- and the file was no longer available for download. I registered on their forum, but the file was showing an error even after proper registration.
I have not found this DLL anywhere, is there a database for it? How did people come up with the AT&T and Vzn DLL versions? I haven't been able to extract it from the KDZ files either, and the DLLs generated from the KDZ during UpdateTool does not work.
I had bricked the phone originally by trying to use Scott's Clean Rom on it, and it bricked into fastboot mode. I flashed something wrong on fastboot, I can't even remeber what, and rebooted, and fastboot was no longer accessible...
I can get into download mode, and factory reset from stock recovery, no custom recovery available, it is gone. I try to flash KDZ files, many versions besides my D805 one, just for the sake of trying, but all of them get stuck on the 49% point. I have set up port 41, disabled modem, reset phone before trying, selected many different language combinations besides my own Portuguese one. Nothing works.
On LGFlashTool 1.6 it seems like it can work, but it errors at 1%, when I use the DLLs for D800 or D802. I need the DLL for D805. I even managed to find the proper TOT file.
I have also searched for about two days on how to reenter fastboot mode from where I currently am stuck.I even did a DIY Factory Cable on an micro USB I had lying around, soldered it all right, but it did not work, and the cable got very hot. I think these cables will not get G2 into fastboot mode, like it seems to do on Kindle fire and Motorola devices. Maybe my DIY was not that good, but I think it should have worked, I made sure the soldure was set and good.
I am downloading Android SDK to try to get back into fastbood mode from there, if there is a way, as it seems to be. I would try to reflash boot and other partitions in an attempt to fix my phone... Is there a way, or another faster path back into Fastboot?
Download mode does not show the version of the firmware on the phone in the box that displays information in the bottom while fdlashng KDZ files. It leaves a blank line where it should be. I believe it is part of my problem, that LGFlashTool does not see a version on the phone at some point, and fails. Or the phone rejects the PC pushes.
I am almost going to the tech support guy with a flash box downtown, but that would be my last resot, and then official LG support, if all else fails. I don't want to go to LG yet because download mode shows ROOTED in red, and they would see it probably, and my warranty become void.
Thanks for any ideas, guidance or help... Cheers guys.
Read this carefully may help you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
Yeah, that was the guide I used when I landed on fastboot after a bad flash from CleanROM... I flashed some boot.img and recovery.img that didnt work out well.
After I flashed these I rebooted and fastboot mode was no longer loading, instead, I am now on bootloop of the LG logo, with no animation, just the first logo that shows on boot, and I can access stock recovery to factory wipe and also access download mode. My download mode shows rooted warning, and while I am flashing a KDZ, does not show the firmware version I currently have in the middle of the box - before I flashed those .IMGs, it did show the version.
I now a, after a .DLL for D805 10A .TOT file, and I cannot find it. I think the flash method from LGFlashTools 1.6 will work, with .DLL and .TOT files, where the LGFlashTools 1.0.5 did not work for me, with .KDZ.
Or if anyone knows of a way to get into the fastboot mode for G2, pelase let me know. Then I could reflash some .IMG files and hopefully get my phone back online...
Try to flash other version even this is 802 or internetional version. At least you can proof your phone completly brick or not.
I only have all TOT file link of F320 and D802 if you need to try.

It had to download, so I did it at a friend's who had 50Mbps internet house, to fix this.
I am sorry that I could not manage to do it offline. I even had the KDZ file to flash, but it was only possible through this option in LG Support Tool...
Best of luck to all in any similar problem, I know I was kinda without hope at some points. I spent 2 weeks trying to fix the phone.

I already installed this ROM and Worked all fine, but when I'm trying to install some Magisk Modules and rebooted my device it get stuck at LG logo... I can access Download mode but not my TWRp recovery.
Any solution to my problem? Just a little help...
Thank you so much anyway!

Thanks to all that tried to help me! I appreciate it a lot! Thank you so much!
My only solution was to try short the capacitors following this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
Thanks God I don't need to mess with the board!
My problem was that I tried this ROM LineageOS 17.1 with latest version of TWRP Blastgator. Everything was running fine until I flashed Magisk and installed some Mods, then the device rebooted and I get stuck at logo!
No System and no Recovery access, only Download mode! :crying:
Then I followed this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I used to install some custom ROMs like Cloudy G2, LineageOS, Resurretion Remix and AOSPX Pie and tried to this new one. I never had any problems!
This time I realized that my device was forever bricked, my last hope was to short the capacitors but I tried all ways to back to Stock because in Downlaod Mode my device was recognized by Windows.
I tried this in Windows 10 x64 but no success, then I formatted an old HD with Windows 7 x64 to try again!
Old Flash Tool get me stuck at 2% or 4%... no success in both system with all LG drivers available... NO SUCCESS!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53313255&postcount=5400
LGUp only gives Unknow Device and never start but it's seens the device on port 41 - that I changed following the tutorial.
My last hope was New Flash Tool but I needed TOT file for my Device - D805 not D802 and the correct DLL. initially I didn't find anywhere... Like this guy:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583851
I give a lot of tries... a lot of different files, DLLs, tried .KDZ and .DZ, only errors and errors... a lot of "Failed to Load()"...
I'm getting frustrated until I see this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
And found this mine of gold of Downloads:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/
And again, thanks to all, there is a hope in the D805 folder!
I get the TOT File: BIN_LGD805AT-00-V10a-724-05-AUG-23-2013-16G.zip and tried the LG Firmware Extractor (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575) to get a new DLL (LGUP8974.dll).
And voilà, like a charm that WORKED!!!!!!!!! :fingers-crossed::highfive:
It installed Jelly Bean the with the Official LG Updater I installed Kitkat and finally Lollipop.
Later I'll try this LineageOS Rom again!
I hope I can help someone in need like me!!
I thank this forum a lot!!
And please excuse my English!
Thank you so much!

Do you need a dll with a KDZ? I thought the DLL was only needed for the .TOT files?

ah, Yeah I think KDZ's you use the LGUP tool which is descriped in another thread They don't appear to need a dll for the kdz. So I believe the dll is TOT only. I could be wrong as i'm not an expert on it, but I believe that's that process.
Has anyone successfully reflash there VS995 with this KDz yet?
Im not even trying to Root my 2nd Unit until I have all GOOD
Well I managed to Get LGUP running & it picked up my phone im still Stock no Root & it fail'd at 9% for tho those's who need to know, Maybe try flashing it more then once. I also ran into a problem with LGUP not finding my device so i had to copy & paste the common folder elsewhere
Yeah I ran into the same problem. 0x2000 error. CEFS:Initalize(). Terrible!
*edit*
Ran the uppercut method (link)and was able to flash the kdz on a stock non-rooted vs995! Just with a grain of salt, uppercut is recognized as a virus by some AV, but I took the risk and checked it out and it looks like it's just a false positive because it modify's another programs files in memory... so use at your own risk!
Thanks a million everyone, I finally fixed my Lg v20 vs995! I kept having failure trying it with Uppercut, but I finally saw that I needed to install 3 files to get it to work correctly, 1st you need the kdz file: VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, next you need to install 2 driver files, LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3_3.msi and LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe, and of course have UPPERCUT.exe. Finally after installing all of the correct drivers, and loading UPPERCUT, using the VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz, I finally got it to work and you have to choose "UPGRADE" in UPPERCUT, but I completely restored my phone to factory!!! What a frickn blessling, I am so happy, because I was trying for days to fix this..... and I actually threw this phone in the trash, hehehehehe, but something made be take it out of the trash an hour later, THANK GOD!
Link to the KDZ for vs995?
can anyone please direct me to the KDZ for VS995?

Tell me how and I'll do it.
Download the patched LG UP from this thread and install it.
When you run it, you will have some extra options, one of them will be DUMP. Click that radio button and click start. You will be prompted for the partitions you want to dump. Select all, and then uncheck userdata.
Once that is done, you will have a bunch of files named like laf_COMX aboot_COMX etc. where X is the COM port number that LG UP is using. For now, I just need laf, so zip / rar / 7zip / etc the laf_COMX file and post / PM me the link.

Watching with all fingers and toes crossed. I had a rooted ls997 that was awesome. The charge port literally went up in smoke. Melted the plastic and all. Had to send it in to lg for repair. Got it back with a new mainboard and the same melted plastic around the charge port. No root stinks. ??

I can't see anything significantly different between the LS997 lafd and the H910 lafd. I even went so far as to flash it, and it works as expected. I am not sure why @Swordknight27 is getting the "Hello this is LAF" message.
Until I can get his phone to respond to a simple partition listing, opcodes like ERSE won't work since they need to know the offset.

I soft bricked the phone and now can only get into download mode. The phone only has two partitions and I was hoping that flashing a KDZ would fix this.
I'm running Linux Mint on my machine and using SALT an LG type open source program in order to flash.
Question: I heard that I should flash something before the Dec 2017 security patch. I can't find any KDZ files unfortunately and was hoping someone here would have a server I could pull it from.

Question: I heard that I should flash something before the Dec 2017 security patch. I can't find any KDZ files unfortunately and was hoping someone here would have a server I could pull it from.

Oh goodness I'm so terribly sorry I seem to have over looked it.
It's an LGV20 H910
What happened is that I used a ROM that was for another model and it kept crashing. After some time I started tinkering with some other software before I realized that even though I bought the device as a 996 I got the 910 version from the eBay seller.
In any case I remember someone mentioning that if I'm going to flash a stock kernel I should stick to something that was before the DEC 2017 security patch so that I can keep the exploit that enables ROM flashing.
Not sure if that's referring to the bootloader that I'll have to flash or the stock ROM itself.
Oh and lastly I remember someone mentioning that the KDZ for my variant of V20 doesn't have any stock images so I'll have to take one from another model flash it to boot then root it and flash a custom bootloader and then re-flash a custom ROM.
That's probably not how it's suppose to work but it's roughly what I remember.

dear what is the condition of your mobile now? does lg up detect the mobile? if so than use LG UP patched version and try to flash your stock kdz.

Sorry darling that it took so long to reply!
My phone is detected by SALT (the open source program developed by steadfasterX) BUT it is doesn't want to work with LGup on a windows system because I don't have the proper .dll to work with my model type.
The LGup log file says
"LGUP can't load the model."
funny enough though the log file shows the model type right after a hex key string.
It says "LG-US996.. US99610d..."
I can get the phone into download mode but the phone doesn't have any partitions right now. So for now it's a paper weight.

every kdz has dll file, even lg up has dll file. you can extract kdz and get dll for your specific model.
use lg up patched version, search on xda, it will solve your problem.
i can not help on linux and SALT, as i dont have these. if you have access to windows machine, than i can try to sort problem for you.
My LG G6 is hard bricked, it's originally g600s, i accidentally flashed h872 firmware on it.. The phone isn't booting anymore, and i accidentally clicked "erase entire flash", and now flashing partition manually using qfil isn't working anymore... Anyone has "Rawprogramm.xml" file for lg g6? I would really appreciate if someone could share me their rawprogram file.
Unlike Samsung phones, which sport a Download Mode which is really Fastboot, the G6 should have a special D/L mode in addition to Fastboot.
I never used it on the G6, could be by holding the switched off phone's vol up or down button during attaching the phone to usb.
If not even the D/L mode screen appears, which is the most basic fallback option, the phone is a real brick, serviceable, but not w/o special equipment.

The unbrick guide here provides the xml files you will need to recover, make sure to thank the dev there:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/lg-g6-unbrick-method-t3935924
While the guide is for US non-T-Mobile devices specifically and your modem partition may not be functional afterwards but I am hopeful that it will at least restore the download mode and from there you can flash a kdz. You may have lost your IMEI info/efs partition but if you remember your IMEI number or if it is etched on the back of the phone, there are ways to fix that partition and IMEI. Be mindful of the legality of these fixes where you live. Google for the IMEI fix information because I am not sure if it is allowed on XDA.

Thanks but i couldn't find raw_program file on that thread, there's only patch.xml files and also i think i destroyed the partition table, is there any way to recover my partition table back?

you can make the rawprogram0.xml (and the other other ones) yourself using your device's KDZ per the post up there. Was tested in Linux on Ubuntu and python 3.
