hello, i need some help! i've tried a lot of guids and can't bring back my phone to live!

the problem starts when i've got the brilliant idea to put the android 10 kdz from tmobile on my emw phone. i didn't thought it would mess my phone this bad, but now all i got is a black screen, no led blinking and, only the sound when i connect or disconnect my phone from pc. In the device manager, appears: Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (com10), there's nothing on the disk manager about the partitions of the phone, just my ssds drivers. i've tried to follow this and some others tutorials, but at first i got a error with sahara, now i got the following error: " Download fail: FireHose Fail: Fhloader fail: can't find the especified file."

i'm sorry, i don't know how to proper share the files here, but here's the links, it's the qfil error print and the log file from it.

this is my only phone, if anyone can help me with this, it would save my day!

thanks in advance!

Edit: i've used the cmd method to install the t-mobile kdz on my phone, forgot to mention it.

Install qpst

Found that qpst has dependencys and it makes the process work I was getting the same errors

Also quick Tim if you get a com port 100 can't open restart the device by holding power vol - and taping vol+ you will know it's off when the qd 8002 devices disappears if you have a red light blink do the same thing to get it back to the 8002 mode

Hello, i have the gpst installed, ver. QPST.2.7.430, got the same error in every version i've tested.

i don't understand what you say about the qd 8002 mode. And about the phone key combinations, all combinations leads me to the same status, screen always completely black, nothing written on the screen and no led blinking at all... after the end of the t-mobile android 10 kdz flash on my phone, the screen didn't turned on again, just the sound when i connect it on the pc, and the "qualcomm 9008" name on the device manager, nothing else.... :(
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] qwe282:
Sorry about that meant to say qualcomm 9008 not 8002 are you using the qfil program that comes installed with the QPST it's under your program list under the QPST file or you could find it in program files

I'm trying to use the commands to enter edl mode, but doesn't matter the combinations of buttons i use, got the same state from the phone, no led, the all black screen and the 9008 in the device manager.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] qwe282:
The olny way I have found to reset to edl mode is while connected to the PC hold power and vol-(down) while taping vol+(up) the phone should do nothing but if it's successful 9008 should disappear from device manager and pushing the power button should put it back to edl mode and make 9008 reappear in device manager I also found that if you plug the phone in and get a red blinking led this might work at least it worked on the on(sprint variant)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmurilo:
I am not able to make the qfil work, I am giving up ... luckily my device is still under warranty. I'll send it to lg and see what happens.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] lefttobleed:
It is a bit difficult to understand your issue. Getting 9008 in device manager means you are in edl. Nothing shows on phone screen in edl mode.

Also in an earlier post you say you opened disk manager and only found your ssd drives. This sounds like you opened disk manager in your PC instead of partition manager in qfil.

So it is quite difficult to understand your issue. Please see YouTube if it has any video tutorials on qfil or unbricking your phone. Or as you said just give it for warranty repairs.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmurilo:
Hi, that's right, in some videos, i've seen that in 9008 mode, they can access the internal memory with one mini app and at least wipe the damaged partition besides qfil, but in qfil i can't do that as well gives me error, i can't see the internal memory or flash anything, i said disk manager cause they say that you can see the partitions for that way as well... but i'm sending to warranty and hope for the best. thanks!

i've taken that "partition thing" from this site below.

That guide says it does not work on lg g series.

You need to take files from here https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/how-to/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207

Also it is a good guide to refer.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmurilo:
Year, i've take the files from here, i've read that didn't work with LG... but in qfil, aways give error, the one that i've posted in print before. thats why i'm sending to warranty! looks like i'm not gonna solve that for myself!

i'm going to take one last shoot later and see what happens. i'm going to download everything againg and try once more! i will be back!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmurilo:
Dude, you won't believe hahahaha, i did it! i was making one mistake, but this last time, i've seen what was missing for me to make it work! it was the "search path"... it changes by himself when you chose the "programmer path" and there's no button to change that path, so i was not putting the right path there for the files, and because of that, the qfil was saiyng that "the system cannot find the file specified"! but now that a put the correct path, it works like charm, my phone is back again! i will just crossflash the android 9 emw that is the stock for my phone and it's new again! the print below ilustrate the paths that work here!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FA70-bfRod_cIU9KAJ3AJkUUihwpn4OB/view?usp=sharing

Let it be as a lesson for others with this problem, you must put everything in their path correctly and be aware of this "particularity" with "the search path", you can copy the path for the "bin files" and past it there and it will work!

and dude, thanks for make me think to try once more, was the chance i needed!!!!! thank you so much! everything was already ready to send it to LG hahahaha
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmurilo:
One more thing, my "serial number" is gone and "imei sv is 00", i have both in print screens i've taken before mess up everything. Can i put it back or write it Back? The Phone got everything working (Wi-Fi, data, Bluetooth), its only missing this numbers.

I've read that flashing back The original oreo may fix, is that True? Or refurbish through LG up maybe?

Oh.. Don't know much about imei. But backup all your partitions using qfil. There is a guide for that in guides section. Do this it will help you if u brick again.

And ask people for help in imei thread in ROMs section. Maybe there will be some experts there.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmurilo:
Hello, it's only my serial number i need to recover because it's blank, my imei it's right! the only part of imei that change was the two digits "imei sv" that went from 42 to 00, but i think that's not a problem, the sim card it's still working normal.

the real problem it's just my serial number that's all blank now. do i need to root the phone? cause i'm trying and i'm not being sucessfull to unlock bootloader. Can't pass trough the "fastboot oem unlock" part, getting error from fastboot "command failed".

i'm gonna undo this mess and boot the phone and call you there!

I think I set the right path, all other system_a files are there except the system_a_888582.bin it's not in the dzextracted folder. (Maybe the encryption didn't work) but I've already tried it with a different android Version and I tried it multiple times always with that outcome.

I'm back, now to share how i've solved my problem about the serial number, but i must say that this didn't solve my fastboot, adb and other little problems that appears because of my dumb idea to flash the t-mobile rom and brick my phone. I must say that qfil is a awesome tool, really!!!

So, what i did? i've used qfil to pull out the ftm bin file, opened it on hex edit, searched for the line 00012000 and typed down my original serial number. then i've saved the file and send it back to the phone, and when i boot up and checked, my serial number was there again!

i've used the 4pda guide that our friend [MENTION=5407452]muzammil457[/MENTION] suggested me and for that, i thank him!

it was very easy, much more than I thought... i thought that it would only work with the file in ".img", but no, the bin file extracted by qfil works normally.

down below, the hex edit image shared on 4pda forum to illustrate the line that need to be changed. and that's it.

Hope you are extracting an Oreo kdz only.

Or just use the extracted files in OP, and if you get to download mode, you can flash any kdz u want.

Remember you are doing everything at your own risk.

Stuck on LG G7 logo

Hi, I need a lot of help please ;).

I managed to root my phone (LGG710EM) using this guide https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/how-to/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207, which was recommended for the LGG7 how to unlock bootloader.

I had to use the FRP file as well as I forgot to OEM unlock :(, but everything worked well and the bootloader is unlocked.

I can install a custom ROM using Treble GSI process and the phone boots and everything seems to be working however every time the phone reboots it does a "factory reset" i.e. the erasing circle comes up and wipes all my data/settings etc.

This is the process I used https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/development/rom-how-to-install-pie-stock-treble-aosp-t3914079

I then tried to flash back stock ROM via LGUP_CMD using the same process https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/development/rom-how-to-install-pie-stock-treble-aosp-t3914079. It install successfully reboots, erases, reboots BUT gets stuck at the LG G7ThinQ logo. I tried different stock ROM's 20c, 20k and Oreo 10b, they all load successfully but get stuck at the logo.

The phone is not "bricked" as I can get into fastboot, download and QFIL (Qualcom mode).

Can anyone please point me in the right direction please,

Can someone please share the drm.bin with me? i think that before when i've flashed the t-mobile rom and bricked my phone, it changed something in my drm and now i can't use adb on "mtp" mode (the others modes "ptp", "midi" and even "just charge" mode answers to the "adb devices" comand for example) and fastboot its not working too. im trying to unlock my bootloader but any commands in fastbooot mode it's not working, not even "fastboot oem device-id", it just gives me erros and asks for reboot. i've tried to flashing oreo, pie, 10 and doesn't seens to be a partition problem, the only thing that comes to my mind at this moment its the drm (or something inside drm that its different on t-mobile and because of the flash, maybe changed mine).

don't worry to share, there is no SN or Imei inside it, just the key to authorise things to work, like adb, fastboot etc... (someone correct me if 'im wrong).
