Hi all, I posted several questions in the Nexus 4 Q&A thread but the situation has gone from bad to worse so decided it would be easier to just create my own thread...
This started off with being unable to boot the phone into the OS, Fastboot and Recovery mode were both accessible although wiping the cache failed to do anything it just returned unable to mount cache errors.
I then attempted to unlock the bootloader so I could load a custom recovery and try repairing, however upon selecting "yes" to unlock the phone the screen flashed the fastboot screen up then went blank and has stayed blank since, all I get now is a qualcomm usb device detected when I plug it in.
Installed Qualcomm drivers and the phone is recognised as being in download mode in QPST but from what i've read on this site so far it seems no one has been able to unbrick a Nexus 4 using QPST?
I read the unbrick guide using LGNPST, the software recognises a device being connected but it keeps prompting that the phone is off or unplugged even though windows is still detecting it as plugged in (qualcomm device detected, no noise for device unplugged etc).
Finally if I hold down vol-/+&power when connecting the USB lead the red LED comes on (solid) for about 3 seconds.
Do I have any option other than RMA?
I own an LG G2, i recently got this phone yesterday from a person on craiglist. Don't worry i didn't pay him i gave him my older phone i dont use anymore. SO This phone is practically stuck in Firmware Update (As i read that post) , i spent about a day and half figuring it out and what happens is that.
I CAN get into recovery its TWRP v2.7.0.0 by Turning off the phone first and then Holding Vol UP, Power, Vol Down at the same time until the LG Logo comes up and then i am still holding them down, and it says Recovery Mode please wait and bam TWRP.
But heres the problem i can't mount my OTG and i can't ADB Sideload. So what do i do from here?? this guy rooted this phone and soft bricked it i think? and he wiped the phone but i also did when i had the chance and wiped it completly via recovery.
The only way i got into "Download Mode" / "Firmware Update" was to take the back cover off and unscrew a few screws on the side and unclip the battery for a few seconds and then plugged it back in and then I held the VOl UP button and plugged my USB into the phone and the other end is in my PC. My phone says "Download Mode please wait" and then prompted with the Firmware Update screen. BUT my pc doesnt detect the phone whatso ever and i've already installed drivers and etc from this forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ) its the 2015 method that i downloaded.
so what do i have to do, i havent tried using different usb cables, the port seems fine to be plugged in since in TWRP it says 84+ so i meant its charging right? help me out guys idk what else to do or flash or anything.

I think the methods leave out that you need to change your phone to com port 41 on device manager > ports in order to be detected. Then you need to unplug it and reconnect to computer when the program shows waiting for device, with the phone in download mode already.
Also, to get to recovery you hold vol down and power, when the LG logo comes up release power and hold it again until the reset screen comes up.
To get to download mode you turn the phone off then hold up while plugging the USB cord in with it connected to pc... This launches download mode.

Well you see man , I cant change anything in Device Manager since my phone isn't being detected. It didn't install drivers fully fully since my phone isnt recognized. Even in TWRP or "Download Mode/ Firmware Update" Nothing happens no drivers installing or anything even but it does boot it up to that point....and its just normal boot up i see the LG logo and my led goes from green to blueish in a smooth transition and it doesnt stop until i turn it off. The method i got into recovery is holding all those buttons down its not a problem for me to get into it. I also have another problem it doesn't seem to want to mount my usb otg by samsung.
what do i do
So i tried the otg route but I can't mount it. I have everything connected and once I go into recovery to mount usb-otg, nothing happens.
I just need some way to get a ROM.zip in my phone
Computer does not recognize my phone.
Stuck at LG logo unless I enter recovery.
Sideload doesnt work.
OTG doesnt work.
I've tried at least 4 different guides with no luck.
Why don't you manually install drivers from online?
ive tried

ive tried that already and it doesnt list anything from the LG folder.
I realized the phone will say start the adb sideload feature. so, when i put the "abd sideload file.zip" command on my pc i just wait a few minutes and it says daemon not running on port 5037 and then start successfuly and then error :device not found.
it can seem to reognize my device wether its in recovery, or download mode or fastboot mode.
Try again in other pc that has never been conected to an LG Phone before. It can perfectly be a conflict with drivers installed in the OS.
I've tried man
AFter i cleaned the usb port in one of the chats or forums, i waited a day ovbiously without turning on the phone and cleaned the usb port with alchohal and a q tip and i plugged my phone into my computer and my PC detected something but it only says "Unknown Device" everytime no matter what pc i use it says that. nothing else. but before that none of my pcs would detect theirs a phone plugged in at all.

No there is no problem with your USB cord or port. You need to do following steps.

hi!
So i've messed up my phone. I was formatting my data and as twrp was stuck for 15 minutes at done i forced rebooted my phone. after that i can only boot into twrp (not even edl mode) no matter which button combos i use. But the thing is, twrp is stuck at the loading screen. the phone is recognized in adb but it is recognized in recovery and trying to use the command "adb reboot edl" doesn't work, nothing happens.
What can i do? I was thinking about using some commands where the phone is recognized in adb as in recovery but i have no idea what to do.

Hi! When I held both volume buttons and the power I dunno in what mode I was in but while my phone was on this mode and plugged in to my PC it was recognized in device manager as ADB something (I don't remember). I was shocked when I saw that my PC would recognize the phone because no LEDs was lit (not even the red LED you get in edl mode) and also my phone would start instantly with pressing the power button, (in edl it takes about 10 to restart the phone). Anyway so I tried zadig, Qualcomm drivers and even a different pc but it would still connect as ADB something. Lastly I disabled automatic driver updates in windows and installed the qualcomm axon 7 firmware driver (Google it). After that I rebooted and my phone was now recognized as "qualcomm hs loader" something and so I could use Miflash to flash a stock firmware. Miflash would work right away though but after maybe 15 tries and lots of reboots it then worked for some reason I don't know. After that I had a stock recovery back and it was all going smooth again from there.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, after 30 more attempts, I get the xiaomi miflash flashed my device, the last thing I tried was to disconnect the phone, keep the power button for 10 seconds and then connect it. The device was recognized as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" download this rom https://build.nethunter.com/misc/axon7/A2017U_B15-NEW_FULL_EDL.zip unzip it and select the folder with miflash and flash it. Miflash did not send me the "can not get hello package" message anymore. I really appreciate it a lot, without your message I would probably have kept my phone in a box and forget it. I hope all people can read this comment and solve this problem. THANK YOU

Really glad I could help
Three days ago, my phone went off by itself and I had a hard time starting again, it was just loading the bootanimation, I tried to reinstall the ROM, but it did not go into TWRP, although the message Recovery appears on the screen, I insisted and after several attempts, I got into the recovery, formatted everything and I installed the AICP ROM again, and I had to restart,my phone freezes in the LeEco bootloader, then again I insisted until the ROM finally started, but soon realized that it was taking too long to start (30 minutes waiting and nothing).
So I rebooted again, and from then on, I can not go into any mode anymore, trying to access the TWRP, the phone only stays on the Recovery screen until reboot after 2 minutes, when letting the phone try to start the ROM, it only stays on the LeEco screen and restart after 2 minutes, when entering Fastboot, it enters the screen in Fastboot mode, but is not recognized by the computer, not even as unknown device, the same for Download mode.
Is there anything I can try?
Doesn't seem like a a fried motherboard. In my experience, If you fried the CPU, you would still be able to access Fastboot, if you fried the GPU part of the chip, or if the LCD has failed you would feel vibrations..
Do you thin it is possible that you accidentally put the phone into EDL mode? It can sometimes be hard to get out of, and it will give you similar issues.
To leave EDL press and hold volume down and power for 1 minute or longer.
Try this
Install the All in One tool and use it to update your android and fastboot drivers. Afterwards see if the computer recognises the phone port connection by going to Control Panel>System> Device Manager* ( Even though, you may not see the drive, you will maybe still see unknown device or te port)
Maybe a Brick?
If it does not see the phone or show a unknown USB device with port 9008
Try placing the phone into EDL mode by pressing and holding the Vol Up (+) and Vol Down (-) together while simultaneously connecting the phone by USB cable to the computer. Do you see the port or phone now? If you see port 9008 you possibly are bricked, follow the steps on my unbricking thread., if you can not get back to TWRP, or fastboot,and the phone keeps a charge. Then I would think that you are definitely bricked.
Other possible issues
The issue could be the battery. Have you tried using other USB C Cables? If you can use a different usb cable let it charge for a couple of hours then see if you can get into TWRP again . If you can enter fastboot mode try reflashing TWRP, you can use the All in One tool for this.

Thanks for answering. I've tried everything.
But I can not see the smartphone when connected. USB drivers are properly installed (I used to recover other LeEco x651, x526 and x520 devices)
I left it restarting for more than hours holding the power button and volume down, no results.
The device does not appear in the Windows device manager in any way, not even as Unknown or 9008 port.
I tried several usb cables.
There is no communication with TWRP or ROM installed and neither with the computer, even though I enter into fastboot / 9008 mode. Only LeEco / recovery logo and Fastboot screen.
I think my main memory is damaged or something.

Well that sucks, if you feel like sending to the phone to China for repair, you can find several shops that are offering to repair any damaged Leeco for $10 and an average cost of $30 for resoldering. On the TaoBao website, use Chrome for translation. Some of their ads mention overseas repair
If it's memory it would be an easy fix for them.
If you don't want to fix it, I highly recommend the Mi8 if it's within your budget, its a perfect phone and you can find them for close to $300. My brother has a Redmi note 6 Pro which is also really nice. He paid $190.
Good Luck.

Check out this possible do it yourself fix : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79302729&postcount=71
So I wanted to flash evolution X, which flashed ok but would only boot into fastboot mode. I then went to flash stock 11 rom using the fastboot rom. It flashed ok but when it came to rebooting, the screen just went black. I cannot enter fastboot, recovery or EDL mode. Regardless of the method to get into EDL mode, the computer wont recognise the phone. Device manager doesnt show anything being plugged in and MSMdownload tool doesnt recognise it either. I have the drivers already installed so the computer should recognise it.
What i did one time was:
Start MSM Tool and press start.
Connected the phone with a third party cable and to a usb hub.
Held vol up, vol down and power button for like a minute or longer.

You likely just haven't installed the proper drivers. You need those Qualcomm ones so your PC recognizes the phone. Also try different USB cables.
