unbrick LG G2 Force Flash with Send_command.exe

Use it if you cannot flash with any flash tool (no root needed)
Note: Use this at your own risk! Use it as a last resort!
I'm not responsable for anything, this may not work with yours
Sorry for my poor english. I tested this method with MY bricked LG F320L, no root, no boot, no many partition pop up, partial
downloadMode (just download mode and can't see the USB logo nor S/W update) then can't flash with KDZ/TOT file,with adb mode
recovery when holding pwr and vol+ ( lucky ), with stock recovery but I have to write adb reboot recovery to get it
what you need (sorry, I'm too lazy to put a direct link, I found all of them in xda):
- Install driver for your device
- .kdz file of your model
- WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.5.0-Release
- Send_Command.exe and ports.bat (ports.bat is optional if you know the port where your device is plunged can be in LG_root.zip)
This methode needs that you can access to downloadmode or partial downloadmode like me (vol+ and plug USB cable)
1- Run WindowsLGFirmwareExtract
. browse your .kdz file with "Open" button
. click to "Extract KDZ" button and wait until finish
. browse the .dz file abd extract it with the appropriat button
. click to "Extract DZ" button and wait until finish
. select all system files and clic Merge system-bin (you will get system.img in another folder and you don't need all system****.bin)
. copy all files in same folder
2- change extension of all files .bin to .img and remove any numbers
example: aboot156.bin => aboot.img / 1-aboot.bin =>aboot.img
3- Push or copy all files to your device. You have to find also the laf.img of your device, sometime it's not in the KDZ file.
Maybe it's optional, but I'm not sure.
Remember the path, for this tuto I'm using adb and push all files to /data/local/tmp/
You can also copy all files with another method
4- Run Ports.bat
Double click ports.bat (This will give us the COM port in which our device is connected we are looking for the Diag port)
keep in mind the COM of \Device\LG*******DIAG*
5- Go to downloadMode
6- Run send_command.exe in command prompt
type: Send_Command.exe \\.\COM3 if COM3 is the port where your device is pluged
wait for #
flash all .img like this, replace NAME by the name of the file ex: aboot.img replace NAME by aboot
dd if=/data/local/tmp/{NAME}.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/{NAME}
ex: dd if=/data/local/tmp/aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Except for backupGPT.img, I don't know what is it. Maybe in this partition:
dd if=/data/local/tmp/backupGPT.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/gpt
personally , I have not flashed this one
If you have finished type: LEAVE
Flash completed

Thank you guy, your tuto saved my device

@santatralalaina
I'm in a similar situation like you. No download, fastboot or recovery and phone is not detected by Windows. As u said PARTIAL Download mode only. I'm not very good with adb also. Could you please guide me about force pushing of the .img files please! Where can I get send command.exe and ports.bat? Could you please attach some screen shot of Step:6. Renaming the file and command is bit confusing for me.

Hi, Don't panic! Take a deep breath.
Firstly: What is your phone model?
Secondly: What happen when you plug your phone to your PC?
Finaly: What you have did to try unbricking you phone?

Hi..thanks for the reply....My phone is G2 F320L..Korean version with removable battery and SD card....I tried to install a non compatible ROM..got bricked with only fastboot...Then I try to flash aboot.bin..boot.bin..laf.bin..etc files (which I have extracted from the kdz) through fastboot...during flashing my phone was disconnecting and connecting back again...thats where all the problem started I guess. Now I dont have fastboot also. If i connect my phone to PC.. LG logo comes on the phone screen...on PC it try to detect as LGE android MTP devices and try to install the driver of the same. But the driver installation fails eventually.... At windows device manager it show as LGE Android MTP devices with error code 10...and showing connected to port:COM3....If I try to get in to the download mode..it get stuck at the (.............) download page...it is not going to the page with big USB picture...
My thinking is...Since the device manager is showing that it is connected at COM3.....Can I force flash the boot.img, aboot.img, laf.img etc files with "Send command.exe?
At least I can try to force flash right? If it is possible..may be I will be able to enter in to the download mode:fingers-crossed: Right? Where can I get this "Send command.exe" and how it works?

Hello,
It was easy to unbrick the fastboot but now... ok, you are stuck in LG LOGO but after no black screen? can you charge you battery? And if you try to go to RecoveryMode, what's happen? do you have multiple partitions and QHSUSB_DLOAD trying to be instaled? It's also easy to unbrick the QHSUSB and if it is the case, don't use send_command to flash manualy your device.
Maybe, you can force flash. You have to find a solution to push all .img files to your device. If you cannot use ADB, try to put the img files to sdcard.
you can found send_command.exe and ports.bat in this zip file, it's an utilities for having root on LG G2 :
LG_Root.zip
you can use all root command with it!

Hi!
As I known, LG G2 is unbrickable
This method is for last resort because I havn't complete documentation about this!
I've tested it with my own LG F320L only
Try to flash with TOT files or LGUP
Try to repair the download mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706590
Try to force the QHS_USB to appear then use the appropriate tools http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/file-unbrick-qualcomm-9006-qhsusb-t3056800
Try send_commande before shorting testpoint (it's less dangerous IN MY OPINION)

i have flashed wrong firmware ..now my phone have same symptoms like urs with partial download mode and no recovery....but i m unable to push files via adb bcz adb debugging is not active and i m getting error that phone not found.....now what can i dooo...plz plz plzzzz help me

I just wrote and shared my experiences. Forcing the qshusb by shorting the right pins in the motherboard is the only solution if you cannot push the img files to your phone with adb, by sdcard, by MTP or something else

[Guide] Comprehensive Method To Unbrick, Unroot And Lock Your Device

Hi all! After sarchin' on the net (and haven't found anything good), I'll make a guide on How to unroot, unbrick 'n' lock your device.
BEFORE ALL
There is one problem: The rollbacks don't exist for all models, so this guide isn't for everything models. I don't recommend to use it for India, China, Middle East regions' versions.
You can find everything needed for you
HERE for the FRD-L09
HERE for the FRD-L04 (thanks to @matt914)
TESTED DEVICES
FRD-L09 (By me)
FRD-L04 (By @matt914 again)
Code:
/*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this GUIDE
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
WHAT YOU NEED
1. Your device (that guide is only for Honor 8)
2. Your rollback and MM packages WATCH HERE
3. A MicroSD card and its MicroSD/SD or MicroSD/USB reader
4. Your PC (I've tested it with linux, but You can use Windows too).
5. Your USB cable
HOW TO
1. Download the rollback and the MM firmware from hihonor
2. Extract the zip packages, you'll find a dload folder and some pdfs (you can delete these pdfs)
FOR LINUX
3. Before all install the android-tools (google is your friend on that)
4. With THAT you'll be able to extract files from MM UPDATE.APP (thanks to @marco.minetti), you'll find lots of .img files, but we need BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img
5a. reboot your phone to fastboot (Vol-/Power while plug it to your PC)
5b. Open a terminal on the folder where you have the previous 2 files and type:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
sudo fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
sudo fastboot reboot
6a. Your device now is semi-bricked (it can reboot to erecovery and to fastboot but it can't boot)
6b. Shut down your device (long press Power, it will reboot. Press vol+ while asked and boot to erecovery, than shutdown)
7a. Put your rollback's dload folder on the root of the MicroSD (NOT THE INTERNAL MEMORY!)(Use a MicroSD reader)
7b. Insert the MicroSD on your Honor
8. Press Vol+/Vol-/Power and it will start flashing the rollback
9. Your device still in a semi-bricked condition
10. Make passage 7 and 8 again with the MM firmware
11. Now it will boot up without any problem and with MM installed
FOR WINDOWS
3. Before all install the minimal android tool (google is your friend on that)
4. With Huawei Extractor tool, you'll find lots of .img files, but we need BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img (FROM THE MM UPDATE.APP)
5a. reboot your phone to fastboot (Vol-/Power while plug it to your PC)
5b. Open a CMD (with administrator access) on the folder where you have the previous 2 files and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot reboot
6a. Your device now is semi-bricked (it can reboot to erecovery and to fastboot but it can't boot)
6b. Shut down your device (long press Power, it will reboot. Press vol+ while asked and boot to erecovery, than shutdown)
7a. Put your rollback's dload folder on the root of the MicroSD (NOT THE INTERNAL MEMORY!)(Use a MicroSD reader)
7b. Insert the MicroSD on your Honor
8. Press Vol+/Vol-/Power and it will start flashing the rollback
9. Your device still in a semi-bricked condition
10. Make passage 7 and 8 again with the MM firmware
11. Now it will boot up without any problem and with MM installed
AT THE END
If you have followed the instructions correctly you'll with a device with MM firmware. It will download b380 and than b389 (for the FRD-L09 version).
Flashing the MM package will lock your device (not relock) so you don't need the fastboot oem lock [key]

The rollback package definitely doesn't contain a file named BOOT.img. This file is only available in the firmware package.

For step 7 in the Windows guide, how exactly are we supposed to put the rollback dload folder onto the SD card when it wont mount the SD card? twrp? or do I have to take out the SD card and use it in a card reader?
edit: Thought I should add that when I go into Windows Device Manager, right click Honor 8, and choose browse files -> ( H: ), it says "Please insert a disc into CD Drive H: "

2. Unzip and put the SDK Platform-Tools for Windows anywhere you like.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
On the Mi Community forum link below you'll download the Oreo ROM;
Click the link below: Fastboot ROM | 1407M |8ea503201bb0b594e02e5ed2bf6dea09

You need an Archive Tool like 7-Zip to extract the rom. Make sure in the 7-Zip options you have tar and tgz checked, so you can extract it.
https://www.7-zip.org/
.tgz is a tar archive with gzip compression added to it. When you click to extract it the first time, you'll now end up with a .tar archive, click to extract it again, and you'll finally have the contents of your rom, in two directories called;
tissot_images_8.1.10_20180110.0000.00_8.0_8ea503201b
tissot_images_8.1.10_8.0
Copy the contents of tissot_images_8.1.10_8.0 to your C: drive. Make sure you copy the contents, not the directory itself to C:
On MIUI forum read the Steps 1, 3, 4, 5 SKIP STEP 2! Be sure to download the Mi Flash Tool, Step 1.
http://en.miui.com/thread-807252-1-1.html
Step 3 on the MIUI forum, place the phone in Fastboot Mode.
Next go to the directory you extracted the Android SDK Platform-Tools, in that window hold down the Shift-key and Right-Click, when the menu pops up, click on Open command window here. Now you have a command prompt open.
1. Type in the command prompt - fastboot.exe devices
If successful you'll see a number displayed in the prompt for your phone.
2. Next you need to unlock the bootloader so type - fastboot.exe oem unlock
Now you're ready to flash it.
Open the Mi Flash Tool, make sure to the right of where it says select you put the path, which is C:\
Now click refresh and it should show the device like the screen shot on the MIUI forum, and then make sure clean all and lock is checked on the bottom right of the Mi Flash Tool.
Now click flash and wait...
Enjoy

[guide]working downgrade method (emui 8 to emui 5.1) for honor 8 pro

Hi,
So many of us are not happy with the oreo rom of Honor 8 Pro (C675). Those who looking forward to downgrade from Oreo to nougat just follow the steps. (This method is tested and is working. I just finished downgrading and is working perfectly fine. I just want to share this method with you guys. Also this i my first post in the forum. Some steps have been copied from a previous post by xfact)
Things you might need :-
>>A computer
>>At least 8GB memory card.
>>An unlocked bootloader. (you can relock it later)
>>Download the necessary files here :- [The Dload file was previously shared in this forum by xfact, but the link is not working now. Fortunately, I downloaded the file while it was available and I am providing the link to the google drive backup.]
REMOVE THE *** IN BETWEEN THE URL'S
(a) Dload File --- https***://***drive.google.com/open?id=1ZpOoPZ3dEn86lEh0PwlZP0W2LShM-BnT
(b) Recovery File --- https***://***drive.google.com/file/d/1qiP4k5HtJ3VR5l9ac8FnpxrwryIxu-pV/view?usp=sharing
(c) ADB platform tools --- https***://***drive.google.com/open?id=1vu-awRNjH3B9os5MuHGSlu-ca6zNv10V
>>Unzip the above-mentioned Dload file, then go to the folder, then software>dload folder and unzip the 'SDupdate_Package.tar.gz' with 7-Zip. It will extract another archived file called 'SDupdate_Package.tar'. Now unzip that too with 7-Zip and you will get a folder called 'dload' again.
>>Now take an SD card with at least 8 Gb of space, format it to exFAT. Paste the last 'dload' folder and all its contents at the root directory of that SD card. Put it into your phone.
>>To unlock the bootloader, just log into---- https***://***bit.ly/2uEEvdj
This is their chinese website, use translator in chrome to read in english.
Fill up the necessary details and you will get an unlock code for your device.
>>Follow the necessary steps to unlock your bootloader from here :- https***://***bit.ly/2uEM1F8
>>After unlocking the bootloader, your phone will be factory reset. When the phone boots up again, go to settings and enable USB Debugging from devoloper options.
>>Unzip the platform tools zip file and copy the Recovery file into that folder.( you have to unzip the platform tools file while unlocking the bootloader. Just copy the recovery image to that folder)
>>Holding the SHIFT key, right click any empty spaces in the folder and from the menu that appears, select "Open command window here"
>>Connect your handset. Ensure USB debugging prompt appeared as seen in the bootloader unlocking tutorial.
>>In the command window type the following commands :-
1. adb devices
(this is to make sure your device is connected properly)
2.adb reboot bootloader
(to put your device into fastboot mode)
3.fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk DUK-RECOVERY_RAMDISK_NoCheck.img
(to flash the recovery image)
4. fastboot reboot
>>When the device boots up, go to the dialer, type *#*#2846579#*#*
->Click on Software Upgrade -> SDcard upgrade->confirm.
Your phone will recognise the memory card with dload file in it. It will flash the rom. It will get stuck at 99% and shows error. Dont worry, just select reboot system option that appears on the screen.
You will be on the Nougat Rom
To relock the bootloader--
>>Again you have to enable USB debugging from devoloper options>>open command window from the platform tools folder>> execute the commands 1 and 2.
Then type the following command :-
fastboot oem relock *unlock key*
(replace *unlock key* with your unlock key used for bootloader unlock)
YOUR DEVICE WILL BE ON NOUGAT ROM WITH LOCKED BOOTLOADER
As this is my first post, kindly ignore the errors. Sorry if this lengthy post made any confusion. Hope this is helpful to all of you.

can I get recovery image file please

/thread

{Moderator Announcement: Thread closed!}​
Obsolete
Refer to this guide for root. It's free.
(ROOT) ZTE Blade Z Max Z982 Free Non-UAT 2/21/19

My phone is B25 Not B20. Do you got one for my specific firmware?

The patched boot and recovery are from b20. They are working fine on my b25 system image.

Any ideas how to get the UAT for free?

Here is the MetroPCS B25 full partition update.zip designed to be flashed via recovery
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603910728
Here is some early production firmware use at your own risk
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603910729
Pulled these from a paid site to update my device, and maybe get a firehose for you guys in the process but no luck.

After you flash your phone will try to boot. It probably will probably boot loop. The reason being, your current system in encrypted. So here is a list of what you have to do next.
1. Disconnect your phone from the computer.
2. Press and hold Vol+ and power until the phone restarts and vibrates. Then release power while continuing to hold vol+.
3. You will boot into TWRP. Swipe to allow modifications.
4. Select Wipe
5. Select Format Data
6. Type yes and then blue checkmark.
7. Back out and select reboot then system.
Mission Accomplished
The phone will do a the intial setup and you will have to open magisk manger which will then prompt you to install it.

It seems from what I could find online the file we need from uni is called 8936_020.ufl
I'm not 100% certain though

I think we have to make one.
https://cellphonetrackers.org/wp-content/uploads/8x60_msimage.mbn_.txt
How to generate the 8660_msimage.mbn
8660_msimage.mbn is released in SW by default, actually, it includes the all the boot images and partition table there. MPRG8660.hex will download this image and reset to mass-storage mode. If customers have different HW settings, such as GPIO/DDR, the default 8660_msimage.mbn may not work for them, so customers need build their own 8660_msimage.mbn by themselves with following ways.
1. Have the QPST 2.7.366 or higher version installed.
2. Make a local folder, copy sbl1/sbl2/sbl3/rpm/tz images to this folder.
3. copy the emmcswdownload.exe from C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin to this folder.
4. Prepare the partition_boot.xml as below and copy the partition_boot.xml to the same folder as above.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<image>
<physical_partition number="0">
<primary order="1" type="4d" bootable="true" label="SBL1" size="1000" readonly="false">
<file name="sbl1.mbn" offset="0"/>
</primary>
<primary order="2" type="51" bootable="false" label="SBL2" size="3000" readonly="false">
<file name="sbl2.mbn" offset="0"/>
</primary>
<primary order="3" type="45" bootable="false" label="SBL3" size="1500" readonly="false">
<file name="sbl3.mbn" offset="0"/>
</primary>
<primary order="4" type="5" bootable="false" label="EXT" size="1000000">
<extended order="1" type="47" label="RPM" size="1000" readonly="false">
<file name="rpm.mbn" offset="0"/>
</extended>
<extended order="2" type="46" label="TZ" size="1000" readonly="false">
<file name="tz.mbn" offset="0"/>
</extended>
</primary>
</physical_partition>
</image>
5. Run the emmcswdownload.exe tool to create OEM boot image with a command below.
emmcswdownload.exe -f 8660_msimage.mbn -x partition_boot.xml -s 1G -g 4M
6. The 8660_msimage.mbn will be generated in the folder.

Additionally, I dumped the usb packets going from uni to my phone while flashing splash.img. It has the loader and the splash.img in it. But it needs to be pulled out. If anyone is capable, try it. uni_usb_dump_z982.7z

The firmware you provided only have Sbl1, it doesn't have sbl2 or sbl3. Can you help me? And one more thing do you have root on your Z982 because I think I found where the firmware is in the phone and we can copy it and keep it. I can't do it because it gives me access denied of course I don't have root but I think a person with root can do it.

The Z982 has 1 sbl. "SBL1"

Did you already root your phone?

Yep

Can you try something for me real quick? Plz

I have just about as much an idea on how to do it as you do.
