[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] bizkit0728:
Only EDL mode available

Hey guys so I'm trying to flash my G7 which when I plug into the charger the boot screen flashes and just shuts back off and so does the red light to the top, the phone belonged to my sister who had it put down for some months because the network had to unlock, I found it and she gave it to me. In discovering this thread I installed the full QPST and tried using the instructions here. I've been trying over and over for two days now and all I get is the Sahara Error. I will attach my log file for anyone who can assist. I do not have access to download mode or fastboot, adb do not see it either, I can only get into EDLmode and see the Qualcomm etc etc device pop up in device manager. I have also tried to see if I can back up partitions using this link as a guide https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-partitions-flash-abl-t-mo-t4051249 but when I select the firehose and select partition manager it gives me same sahara comm port error which I'll leave in the log, I've tried different ports and usb cords and another pc with usb 3.0 looking for some different result. Any help guys will be appreciated, any more info you guys need me to send just let me know.
