EDIT: Yes, I know this is for G6, but G5 files and firehose do not appear to be available.

Can this be adapted for LG G5 (TMobile H830)? The firehose files are not available for LG G5 H830 variant and I have searched google for days. There is a .mbn firehose 8396, but I think LG G5 is ufs and needs also .elf firehose file along with xmls.

hello there. how exactly do i install QDLoader drivers? since my phone is bricked, when i start it, it hangs up in the booting logo screen and when trying to access fastboot/download mode, its not going in. so my brick caused: 1. no booting and 2. no access to download mode.

how can i try to unbrick it, since i cant even really install the QDLoader driver without EDL? (i get the rror that EDL couldnt be accessed. i tried it wth the COM Port. QD Port isnt shown because i couldnt install it and neither can i enter download mode in my device anymore)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GiaiPhapAndroid:
try enter EDL mode via button
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluntossa:
unfortunately i cant. when i hard shut down my phone (by holding power button and volume down) it instantly restarts since its stuck on a forced-start loop. cant take out the battery either since its not take-out-able. that all happened when i tried to flash another firmwire on it (before, i had lineagOS, but i wanted to test another one. it didnt install it, there was an error and flashing other stuff didnt work either, so i used original LG software to flash the original firmware. that worked but when it needed to restart and manage everything - its in the first boot when it takes about 5 min - it got stuck there and when turning off my phone results in an instant reboot again so it wont stay in any mode)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] draekko:
Anyone know if the G6 has test points like the V20 to force it into QDL mode?

I've searched for it but couldn't find anything online, so i opened it up and tried a few combinations for some pad points on the board that were visible but nothing that worked. I have one at my desk that only vibrates now when holding power button but no other signs of life (this after two bad flashes and i don't the person unlocked it prior to the first one, and i tried to restore the backup but *shrugs* here we are lol).
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dupsatou:
If I have a hard bricked H872 can I do any part of this? I saw the note at the top of the first post about not flashing to H872 but wondered if I might be able to follow this up to the part where it will reboot in to fastboot and then modify the instructions to use an H872 firmware from there?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Opemilekan:
Is there a method for the H872 yet?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] NighthawkXL:
Not one publicly AFAIK, this dude on GSM Hosting thread claims he managed to get a hold of "lg_G6_prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf" but hasn't shared it, nor have they answered any PM's or e-mails.

His screenshots show him using UFI Android Toolbox (which would require a UFI Box), using the "prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf" loader oddly enough.

He linked to a YouTube video that inadvertently shows the information we'd need to create a rawprogram.xml file for 20g, however. Which is half the battle.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jthein1989:
If you get 9008 in the device manager on your computer when you plug it in. Then this will work. If you don't get 9008, be sure the battery has sufficient charge (plug it into a charger (not your computer) for a couple of hours) then try to boot it. IF, AND ONLY IF IT DOESN'T BOOT! As a last resort, you are going to have to remove the back glass and short the EDL pads below the flash LEDs.

Still no word on any leaks regarding the H872 programmer from the looks of it. Was really hoping that someone overseas would come to our rescue, but alas that doesn't seem to be in the cards.

Look's like its the end of my LG journey, upgraded to the OnePlus 7 Pro and will be sending my 9008 G6 to LG to be fixed out-of-warranty to give to my little brother as a hand-me-down.

H873 test points

I found the test points on the H873 i have on hand and can now throw it back to 9008/edl mode after a second bad flash.

Including image. Tests are two pads right under the flash. Disconnect usb, short two pins and reconnect usb, and was greeted with the device listed as being in 9008 mode. Time for more testing to see if i can revive this dinosaur.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] draekko:
Now that i have a way to recover the H873 i have on hand from a bad flash in 9008 mode, and since i failed at creating the proper xml files (was using a backup created with LGUP originally) to reprogram it do you have any suggestions on properly creating those files for the H873 (original carrier was Videotron)?

Sir will it work on Lg G600S? Does anyone have the needed files for unbricking LG G600S? Thanks everyone :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
I just tried to root my H872 and bricked it (because the instructions for rooting it are

not detailed enough!!

(I really wish people would use English correctly when posting critical instructions) I have rooted many phones and know what I'm doing. Now it just won't turn on at all.

Anyway, I know this thread is not for the H872 but I do get 9008 in the device manager when I plug it in. Does that mean that it may actually work? or will it absolutely not work because it's an H872?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ivan_67:
Good day! Please tell me, are there any people here who have an octopus box? Phone LG G600KR after trying to update to Android 9 is no longer turned on, QFIL does not see the partition table. Can anyone help?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] NighthawkXL:
That is a no-go. It doesn't matter that the device goes into 9008 mode (they all do) the H872 model simply cannot use the UFS programmer for its sister devices. I haven't the faintest idea why LG had T-Mobile's variant uses a differently signed programmer on identical hardware. Unfortunately, nobody has leaked the H872 programmer, at least publicly. As it stands currently your options are...

A. Send the phone to LG for out-of-warranty repair.

B. Send the phone to a handful of people in Vietnam who will replace your eMMC and essentially convert your phone to a H870.

C. Buy a new phone. Pixel 4 and OnePlus 7T (or Pro) are looking good.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdabushrang3r:
Thank you sir! Yes, I have bought and am waiting for a new H870 to arrive, but I think I will get the H872 repaired too. Thanks for the options you listed! :good:

There is maybe a protection under windows 10 that block this type of hardware installations?

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sybreeder:
Personally I've managed to recover mine G6 completely. I had issues when i erased all data before thinking and probably this wiped IMEI and so on. and sim card was not working. But after try and error QFIL finally installed android - it switched to US AS993 i think. And i had to do crossflash to mine EU version. Then i did factory reset.

But it went ok - i flashed to 20j and went to hidden menu to tinker with IMEI - i succesfully reenter IMEI from back of glass. After all of that on 20J sim started to working fine. Then on LG Bridge i've updated to 30B Pie. And worked.

QFIL is very problematic. I finally succesfully flashed on my laptop. When there was issue with sahara best method is to restart PC.

After all of that i've replaced battery and basically this is fully functional phone.

All files are in OP google drive.

I was getting this same error. After some digging I found that is was because QFIL was looking for "fh_loader.exe".

Not Detecting with PC...!

Hello G6 inner circle!

Man, I think I've killed my G6. Want senzu beans to revive it.

So I had unlocked the bootloader of my G6 H870. I installed TWRP as well. Next thing I did was flashing SU v2.82. Turned on my device to find out that device isn't rooted.

So I went again and flashed and earlier version of SuperSU. This time, the device refused to boot anymore even in any condition(Download Mode or Recovery Mode). Now Everytime I turn it on, connect it to PC or charging brick, the device stays put on Boot Screen, & even not detecting with PC/Laptop.

My curiosity to root the device brought me here, but now I want my old device back (although inner me is dying to use a rooted G6).

That's the epic tale guys, now provide a solution please,

Have you tried entering download mode again after the failed try? You might have inadvertently at least fixed download mode already.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

I did some of what you did in your process however was unsuccessful. More than likely due to the XML's and GPT being incorrect. Here is what i did.

1) used uni android tools

2) used qualcomm module, selected g6 model, loaded g6 .elf loader, and hit flash (didnt work)

3) unticked auto for loader ... ^

4) didn't need to rename from .elf to .mbn however i DID try this on another program.

5) I couldn't get any of the xml's to work. I too just loaded the 1st files and tried but no dice..

6) Tried multiple other programs and ways of getting to EDL. Phone is bricked and auto goes to EDL however it could be its not the real EDL mode and shorting could be my answer here but still i should need the GPT.

I am going to give your files a try. Hopefully I am successful.

I have lgup and understand how to generally use it but not how to get gpt. I figured you were going to want to get it from terminal commands. Is it in a menu in lgup or something. I think it's been 2 years since I used lgup. I did find it easy to use, but why fumble, when you can get guided.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] noidodroid:
Yeah it is available if you do a partition dump etc. I can walk you through it using the modded DEV version of LGUP which i can supply if needed. Also youll want to run some commands in adb to find out the size of the GPT so i can create XML's / modify my existing ones to reflect. Currently i dont know so it has been why my EDL flashing wont work just right. I will msg you and if cool we can do this some time we both have a minute free.

I ended up getting another g6 this time the H872 so i swapped out boards and rebuilt the US997 with the H872 logic board. I then put the other board back in the chasis of the H872 i bought. All is well but i still need to get it unbricked (i like EDL and COM port stuff... interests me). If we have no luck its cool I am better off with the H872 for modifying / custom work.
