lg g6 - Stuck on firmware update with no OS - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have a problem with my G6, i tried to install a custom rom this morning. At first i could get into twrp (melina one) and then wipe internal, system, cache etc. All went fine, then i tried to flash the custom rom, I got the cannot mount /system error. I've got that before so I went to the wipe menu, clicked format system and formatted it as something else to then format it back to ext4. But twrp got stuck on formatting it was looping, i then decided after 10 minutes to reboot the phone with a hard reset and then get back into twrp, but now i wouldnt get into twrp because it was just hanging on the splash screen of twrp. Ok no panic, i was in the twrp looping stage now, i then decided to format erase partition recovery and reflash recovery from melina again. That was successfull so i tried entering twrp: same thing happening the splash image hanging. I decided to flash the stock rom again and downloaded the correct KDZ file: H87020c_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0817.kdz i extracted this one from the lg bridge updater. The LG bridge software update failed 2 times after eachother because it could not "upgrade my phone". Ok so now i tried doing the LG Flash Tool:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
didn't work after numerous tries.
and then the almighty flashtool which i got this error, no matter what .dll file:
So I can't reach fastboot anymoreI can access fastboot now( ive formatted system partition when i still got the chance so that should be ok now) and no recovery, but the computer detects the phone as the com port and firmare update screen.
When i plugin my cable to the wall it goes directly to the firmware update screen, when i power the phone off with the firmware hidden menu update and holding volume down or up while booting goes directly to firmware update screen. I dont know what to do at this point.

Ok so i got it further by downgrading lg flashtool. But it errors out everytime at system, i guess something is wrong with that partition?
And I can access fastboot mode now luckely.

Yo dude.
Don't panic....help is here.
Download this version of LGUP
Pick the Oreo .KDZ of your choice.
Attach your phone
In LGUP tool, select your .kdz that you want to flash
Then select "PARTITION DL" "Upgrade" NOT "Refurbish"
Then click "select all"
Then click start and the magic will happen

I don't have a .msi dll package for the LGH870

Ok got the lgup working but i still get error 0x2BC with your version.
View attachment 4623053
maybe i need the right DLL from you.
And i got the LG LOGO back after erasing and flashing system.img manually. But I cant get to recovery, when i answer yes to both questions i just get the firmware update screen.
I really don't get why such a simple procedure should go so bad and wrong...

Nobody can help? I need the phone urgent.

i can only use download mode and fastboot, i tried flash roms with fastboot but when phone restart there nothing even LG logo... and with kdz updater there stop in line 215.
first try to install a recovery via fastboot:

If this was ok and you reboot into recovery (home + power) install a new ROM , wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache .

no i did not change, and when i flashed recovery then did not run in recovery mode, only lg logo , what can i do? :?
hmmm recovery not running even after flashing it? im guessing that you are pressing the buttons wrongly. my method is first power down the phone next press the power button till you feel the beep next let go of the power button and hold on to only the home button for as hard as you can... should work...
i think you don't have set-up fastboot correctly ..
type fastboot devices and tell me whats showing up in your cmd
recovery mode is not working, and this is my cmd picture

When you tried the EUUS did you follow the flowchart in the second post of this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560
I just ran a EUUS fine following the flowchart - But had a result similar to yours when I didn't unzip the EXE and fill in the CPUID.txt file.
I'm in the same situation, no way to get the v8 UNL BL, stops at stage 2 (BT's apxflashtool) and "3/4 recovery" with AfterOTA TOOL.
I shall try the EUUS flashing (will delete your internal memory), but now I'm very busy so I renounced..
The EUSS file flashing should help

Couple of ideas to try...
Make sure that when that screen comes up there is not a second window it spawned hiding behind it... For me when it got to that screen I saw another window pop, and it was hidden behind the main, the popup window walks you thru the next steps of setting APX mode, plug in cable, hit ok......
Another thing to try is Right click the PBJ20upgrade.exe and choose "Run as Administrator"
Finally download a new copy... when you unzip it you should end up with Several files and then two folders /Image and /usbpcdriver. The /Image folder has all the img files it needs to install. In the root there is a file called version.cfg that when I view inside it seems to have the info that the program uses to tell what version it is going to install... Hazzard a guess that if that file is missing it might not know what its going to install.

[Q] Bricked - after TWRP restore - unsuccessful

It is the same problem as written here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...awei-p8-lite-2017-pra-lx1-brick-trwp-t3660664
I've followed every steps, but my phone is still bricked.
My build version is (I guess?) PRA-LX1C432B100
I tried several firmware builds to restore on, but when I try to install it (by pushing POWER / VOL - / VOL +) :
- PRA-LX1C530B130 : firmware versions mismatch
- PRA-LX1C33xxxx : can't install, I don't remember error message but surely the same as the above one.
- PRA-LX1C432B128 : "Installing update" at 5% then "Software install failed" with sub message "Get help from http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload?mod=restore"
I followed the rooting method from a french website that was for build PRA-LX1C432B100 but I can't find this firmware anywhere.
Can someone have the link ? Tried with Firmware Finder.. Now i'm downloading from needrom but still don't know if it's for the good build version...
When the phone boots, it displays :
- HW Logo
- Warning about the BL
- HW logo
- blank
- HW logo
- Warning about the BL
- erestore
When trying to download and reboot from erestore, it says "Getting package info failed" and thus, can't download.

TWRP
I also tried to flash PRA-LX1C530B130 update.zip, but I get the exact same thing as here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4008385&d=1484772172

Any way to unbrick this d*mn thing ?
I need help, thank you.
Your phone is locked. Try the unlocking by huawei unlockcode.
Thank you for this fast answer,
though, where do I enter the code(s) ?
I went to https://tools.texby.com/unlock-codes/huawei/ to obtain my code, is that correct ?
I entered fastboot, no devices found with "huawei code writer"
Same with recovery mode and eRecovery :

Do this command in fastbootmode by adb:
fastboot oem unlock 1234567...... (your unlock code from Huawei.
Oh okay, but i'm already unlocked.
...

finished. total time: 0.004s

Ok., then flash the stock recovery again and make a factoryreset.
I can't find the stock recovery on internet nor on Firmware Finder. Do you know where I can find PRA-LX1C432B100 ?
I flashed many times on differents build versions those files :
recovery.img
boot.img
system.img
cust.img
Do I need to only flash the stock recovery (if I can find it..) to make everything else work ?
if I have no stock system nor stock boot, will it boot ?
And by "stock" I mean "stock for my device" because I've tried many stock images that end up in erecovery, even after a factory reset in the stock recovery.
-- EDIT --
With the mobile app, it says that the PRA-LX1C432B100 has been removed from the server.

P10 black screen bricked!!

I tried to flash a custom rom (MorfuZ) and after installation is complete, the phone reboot and stucked on black screen. I can't get to fastbook or recovery screen. The MultiTool software recognises the device. I tried flashing trough the ''Unbrick'' method and it seems the process is completed, but the phone won't boot. I tried to turn it up but even the screen is not turned on. I have no red or green led as the others threads says (yes I've read a lot of them). The only sign of life is that my PC detects it as "Fastboot2.0" and it's supposed that I flash cust, boot, system and recovery imgs but nothing happens at all. It sounds it's rebooting and the cmd also says that but there is no change. My phone is LATAM version (WAS-LX3). Already bootloader unlocked, installed TWRP and rooted (magisk). My laptop recognises the device the (prompts sounds when connected.)
I tried flashing boot, recovery, system from this .zip file Warsaw-L23_C605B172_Firmware_Panama_Bolivia_Peru_Chile_Colombia_Guatemala_El Salvador_Nicaragua_Honduras_Nonspecific_Android7.0_EMUI5.1_0501 but I couldn't find the CUST file to flash with Multitool software.

If You still have TWRP and if you are on Emui 8 use HWOTA8 method, otherwise if you are on Emui 5 use HWOTA7 to flash your build. As you have already unlocked bootloader the first step in script will be automatically skipped.
Its very easy just follow my video tutorial. Instruction for HWOTA7 is on Serbian but you have instruction on English and some things are logical just view video.

Thanksfor the reply. My phone won't boot to recovery nor fastboot mode. I can't turn it on or off, the screen does not display anything, it just sounds when I plug it to the pc. No led light or boot logo

Yes I understand u must use DC phoenix and test point method after that Hcu client to restore Imei, seriall. Dc phoenix and Hcu client are about 20 usd credit for 3 days. But for test point u must open the cover and on board find test point, conect it, plug usb and run Dc phoenix to restore all partitions. Its not so easy but phone could be fixed.

Bricked Zenfone 3 ZE552KL - This package is for "WW_Phone" device. This is a ""

Bricked Zenfone 3 ZE552KL - This package is for "WW_Phone" device. This is a ""
I'm handling a bricked Zenfone 3 ZE552KL WW model, but I am unable to flash the stock rom back into the device.
For context, this device has never been unlocked, rooted, and always worked under its original factory Android. As told by the owner, he received an OTA update notification last week and confirmed all prompts to initiate the update. As instructed, he plugged the device to its original charger, left the update running and went by with his day doing other stuff. When he returned, the device was completely OFF with 0% battery. We figured the charging cable disconnected due to a bad connector endpoint, and the phone ran out of juice while the update was running!
The result is a bricked Zenfone unable to boot beyond the ASUS logo. It keeps crashing and gets into a boot loop.
I have tried most of the basic tech support I can give him.
I have downloaded a fresh copy of the official ZE522KL firmware from the ASUS website.
I can boot the phone into recovery, which is still the original ASUS recovery. But as I try to flash the firmware, I get this lovely error message:
{

ERROR: This package is for "WW_Phone" device. This is a "".
I know for a fact this is a WW_Phone device because when I try to flash the JP firmware, the error message is different.
ERROR: This package is for "JP_Phone" device. This is a "WW_Phone".
Already tried "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition" from the recovery menu, but that didn't help.
Already tried pushing the firmware via "adb sideload" and placing it in a SD card. Those didn't help either.
I am also willing to flash a community ROM, like LineageOS or Mokee, but I first need to unlock the bootloader. I'm running adb and fastboot from Linux, and I can't find a descent tool to unlock using Linux is proving to be a real pain. Every tool seems to be made for Windows only.
So, I'm resorting to anyone here, hoping anyone could give me a light before we send this phone directly to ASUS tech support, not available in our region (we'll need to ship it to another city).
Anything I can try before that? I'm running out of ideas.
Best regards and thanks in advance for any help.

Flash the latest stock recovery thru fastboot and then flash the latest raw firmware.
Otherwise try launching, not flashing, twrp thru fastboot and then flash any raw firmware with the updater script edited.

Hey juliohm,
Just follow these steps & your device will operate normally
1) Download and install ASUS Flash Tool :
2) Download Latest Oreo RAW
ZE520KL:
ZE552KL:
3) Enter Fastboot Mode (Power + Volume Up)
4) Open ASUS Flash Tool
5) Select device & select firmware (select YES on wipe data tab too)
6) Connect phone to PC
7) Hit Start and wait 10-15 minutes (ignore the error 5 [FRP])
MOD EDIT: PAY-PER-CLICK LINKS REMOVED
Thank you, Saktis_STi. But these are Windows tools and I'm running Ubuntu on my local system. No Linux tools available for this task?

Check PM
Try unlocking your bootloader using the unofficial way located in the Zenfone 3 forum. It should be doable because you only have to boot into your bootloader. You can then flash a custom recovery, such as TWRP, and go in and wipe data, cache + dalvik, and then install a custom ROM. In your case, it looks like the stock recovery can't detect the device model (WW_Phone), so it's most likely that something is wrong with the system partition.

No need. Flash RAW firmware is enough.
Just a quick follow up.
The owner decided to take it a local assist shop. I don't know what method they used, but they managed to reflash the stock firmware back into the device, and it's working fine again.
Thank you all for the tips. If this was my own device, I would be tinkering a lot more. But the owner decided to play safe and pay for repair in some authorized assistence shop.
Best regards all!
