[LG G Flex 2] sikander3786:
When you people insert the SD in your phone, does the PC still recognise it as QHSUSB?

[MENTION=1004818]Alex_XV6700[/MENTION] This method should make your phone successfully boot the S/W from secondary source i.e, SD slot. With newer processors, if there is nothing on the EMMC, or if SBL1 on the EMMC fails signature check (may be due to wrong model firmware flash or downgrade etc.) the Processor searches for SBL1 on the SD and boots it. But SBL1 on the SD should also pass the signature check. If the phone died on ZV8, it will be live again after same version SBL1 successfully found and booted from secondary source.

I am not sure if the 4 GB dump contains full system image or not. If it does, then the phone might even be able to boot to the home screen. But that too only until the SD is kept inserted. For making it work without SD, you will need to flash correct firmware.

Even if it doesn't contain full system, phone should be able to show charging sign, LG logo and also be able to boot in to download mode and be resurrected from there by flashing correct firmware.

Our aim is to get the phone to respond, no matter how much it does then we can proceed from there.

At least, inserting the SD card should get rid of QHSUSB in device manager. Please confirm this behaviour.

[MENTION=1004818]Alex_XV6700[/MENTION] The dumps you uploaded, you took those in download mode, right? If yes, for helping everyone out here, I will encourage you to please take a new dump and re-upload it. I know we have already taken a lot of your bandwidth but we've got no other choice.

If the phone is in download mode, I think it will skip dumping a few partitions that are being used e.g, LAF.

For dumping it again, boot in to rooted Android and run:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/ls996.img bs=1024 count=4194304

The only reason that it isn't working for anyone here might be because the dump was taken in download mode. Please upload when you have got some free time.
[LG G Flex 2] gnanava:
[MENTION=1004818]Alex_XV6700[/MENTION]

please upload dumo from zv8 (((

boot in to rooted Android and run: adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/ls996.img bs=1024 count=4194304
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
[MENTION=4506699]sikander3786[/MENTION] [MENTION=4854720]gnanava[/MENTION] the dumps were made from my phone on working on normal mode. I didnt make them from download, cause adb shell doesnt work there. Just the sendcommand program. So my full dumps must be ok as they are.

Any chance of doing something else?

Cause I actually made 2 dumps of each version and compared them using OSFMount to check that it had various partitions. And all of them were made with my phone on and in normal mode.
[LG G Flex 2] sikander3786:
Then maybe we should try with bigger dump. There is a command mentioned in the first post of this thread. Can you upload using that one?
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
The command exposed in the first post is even less than the ones I dumped its 1,048,576 and the dumps I made are 4,194,304 <- I separated them with "," just to see which was larger number. [MENTION=4506699]sikander3786[/MENTION] [MENTION=4854720]gnanava[/MENTION]
[LG G Flex 2] Sunnyartwani:
Another thing I noted is that the image we burned in micro sd has a folder named Image & all other files inside it , I think after burning all the files should be in the root folder of the micro sd , can it make any difference ?
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
That could be the main problem why the phone is not booting correctly. Did yours [MENTION=4506699]sikander3786[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4854720]gnanava[/MENTION] show the same as [MENTION=5977929]Sunnyartwani[/MENTION] ? Or maybe [MENTION=4654107]Sj12345[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1339904]randrew87[/MENTION] can help us with this?

Thanks in advance to all of you taking part on this I can only upload and hope for the best, luckily I havent bricked my GF2
[LG G Flex 2] sikander3786:
No. It is a game of dumping/cloning EMMC partitions to the sdcard so they both should look/behave the same. You can only explore the first partition of external drives under Windows. The folder that you are seeing named "image" doesn't need tampering as it is an exact automated copy of stuff on the EMMC.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

Let me test some stuff and let's see if I can find some info on how and how much data needs to be dumped from the EMMC for reviving LS996.
[LG G Flex 2] gnanava:
[MENTION=4506699]sikander3786[/MENTION]

i hope you will find a way to unbrick ls996 hs usb qdloader 9008.

i'm ready to test all new things and test ways....
[LG G Flex 2] Sunnyartwani:
whenever you have a new idea , please let us know here , I am ready to give a try to anything as we have nothing to lose now & is there any way we can write the dump file directly to emmc physically as i saw someone on youtube who claims he can do that?

I have another question , if somehow phone boots through dump file in sd card ,by taking ota it will write the new upgrade to emmc ? btw I bricked on my zv7
[LG G Flex 2] sikander3786:
So, just tested and the dump files are indeed perfect. My phone which actually was US995, is back to life after writing LS996 dump directly to EMMC using Z3X box.

It is a sad news for people out here as it seems that for now there is no other option for reviving this phone other that programming the EMMC directly.

So, even after programming the EMMC, I can't do anything else except watching the LG logo or download mode as I couldn't find any ZV7/ZV8 Tot or KDZ. If anyone has any idea, please share.

This proves another thing that US995 can be cross flashed to LS996 as it came to life after writing LS996 dump.
[LG G Flex 2] Sunnyartwani:
So with sd card we can't get it even work it out atleast till lg logo & download mode like you got ? another thing is you flashed ls996 dump file in us995 device it might be the reason your are getting boot loop on lg logo & can get into download mode only.
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Actually [MENTION=4506699]sikander3786[/MENTION] bootlocked lgs can be crossflashed with almost any other models kdz or tot. With my ls995 (Flex1) I crossdlld to D950, D958, F340K even D959tmob. And just had to flash boot and modem to get it to work. Although some things like videocam and NFC werent working. But data, calls, etc worked.
[LG G Flex 2] sikander3786:
Yes, I have lost faith in sd card unbrick method for this phone, sadly.

No, it is stuck on LG logo because full software isn't there on the EMMC. I only flashed 2 GB dump whereas full software will be occupying at least 6-8 GB on the EMMC. So, either need to find the flash file or need to read full dump from another phone and write it on this one's EMMC.

Yes I have noticed the same behaviour with Optimus G series phone's lately. But now the question is to find any ZV7 or later firmware for LS996 or US995.

[LG G Flex 2] Sunnyartwani:
I bricked by downgrading when selecting board_dl in lg flash tool
[LG G Flex 2] sikander3786:
I've never seen that error with Z3X. Please post complete logs.

[MENTION=7014845]fryderykhuang[/MENTION]:

LG Support Tool can't download and flash this phone. No hope with that one.

Regarding Board Diag, you need signed loaders and hex files for MSM8994. I couldn't find them anywhere. Maybe some one can leak those and help us. :)
[LG G Flex 2] fryderykhuang:
And I found another tool SmartBootDiag, seems like it is built solely for brick problems, but unfortunately there's no ap_chip file for ls996. Have to wait ...:( hope not too long.
[LG G Flex 2] ysabxe:
"You must take apart your g flex 2. There is no testpoint so that you must remove emmc out mainboard and write a full dump file into emmc by easy jtag"

Here what I was told to do...
[LG G Flex 2] fryderykhuang:
No test point, aha... another possibility removed, although there are jtag equipments at my work place, I think it's too risky to do soldering, better off waiting for someone leaking new version of those b2b tools.
[LG G Flex 2] ysabxe:
may be someone try EMMC RAW TOOL
[LG G Flex 2] Sunnyartwani:
I can try that , can you please let me know how to use it ?
[LG G Flex 2] ysabxe:
Install QPST and Qualcomm Drivers

Run QPST Configuration -> Chose "Add new port" -> in window chose "COM69 - USB/QC Diagnostic", tap ОК -> Return and see "COM69 Enabled COM69 SURF8960...". number and name of virtual port can be different

Dont close that window!

Run eMMC software download. Hit button "Switch device to DLOAD" -> in window chose "Select phone", hit "ОК" -> will connect disk in few seconds

Dont close that window!

Install EMMC RAW Tool (need Net. Framework 4.0)

Run EMMC RAW Tool. In right corner there must recognize our disk. Hit "Read partition structure" -> In left side there must be our partitions . We need to write them!
[LG G Flex 2] ysabxe:
May be try TURBO-UNBRICK or understand how its makes run Moto Turbo in fastboot mode...
[LG G Flex 2] fryderykhuang:
I think we need sahara configuration xml file and the partition definition file(which should be the same rawprogram0.xml as in boarddiagtool ) [MENTION=3330181]ysabxe[/MENTION]

I think the partition definition is essential. After I loaded the 8974 xml file from boarddiag, the download button is available to click.

Hello Sikander.

[LG G Flex 2] sikander3786:
Easy jtag. You will need to remove the EMMC.
[LG G Flex 2] honest1212:
Has anyone tried this option ? Mine phone is stuck on Authentication Fail error on ZV7, which tot/kdz from other carrier would you recommend Alex to make it work.

Also the the phone does not charge because of Authentication Fail loop, any way I charge it before trying to flash?

Thanks.
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Power it off completely by pressing power and vol + then connect it to charger and dont power it on. If you're on zv7 well i suggest you mount the emmc backup i uploaded to a sdcard and try to power it on to see if it boots. I dont suggest crossflashing Flex2 because sprint and att have antirollback on the boot. So you could brick completely (qualcomm9008) your phone.
[LG G Flex 2] honest1212:
Thanks for the reply, Tried ZV7 EMMC backup from 2 different SD card, didnt help, It tries to boot but get the Authentication Fail message after LG Logo on boot :(:(

Has anyone tried the GS5 method (stated above this post) of using a SAMSUNG 32GB EVO sd card to mount the EMMC backup and unbrick?
[LG G Flex 2] honest1212:
Saw the method and not sure how will it help the OP, even if he`s able to boot the phone in download mode, his phone is already on ZV7, he wont be able to use the TOT of ZV5.

Hate what LG has done with this phone.
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
That really dont matter because if you make your phone boot you could use dd commands to get the phone to fastboot and flash through fastboot.

Its just an alternative, anyone could use the method to at least get their devices to download.

Im trying to see if I can get a system dump flashed from sdcard on ZV9.

Hi guys, i ve found this information about our little Xperias E3 and E4. Its about updates.

Theres a bad new: we are not going to get lollipop (5.0 or 5.1)

But theres a better new: we are going to make the jump directly to android 6.0 Marshmallow (this means at least one long year waiting)

Also Xperia E1 is out of the update roadmap. I think this is related to low hardware inside E1

Here is a leaked photo of a facebook group called "Ajuda Xperia" in portuguese showing the next roadmap schedule of updates for some xperias (the guys have deleted the photo but i take a screenshot). You can see theres none dates detailed but we have some models "confirmed" including E3 and E4

[IMG="E3 and E4 marshmallow"]http://i.imgur.com/ahJwlyJ.jpg[/IMG]

Left column means Lollipop 5.0, Middle column means 5.1 and Right column is 6.0

So, guys please dont make false expectations until sony confirms this information oficially
