Hello everyone, please I need your help. I am from Peru (LM-G710EM) V10A, I have the same problem as @kyon007 , how could I rewrite the partitions?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
from stock KDZ firmware using KDZ extractor.

Hi everyone. I am not able to run the second prompt command. when i write C:\WINDOWS\system32>bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON the answer is "Error while setting item data" and below "The value is protected by Secure Boot Policy and cannot be changed or deleted." What do i have to do?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

this will work alone, just try further steps.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] danman17:
Thank you. I solved it by disabling in the bios security boot, and now it works, but I have another problem: in step 7 I don't find tz_z and hyp_z file, I just have tz_a and b, hyp_a and b. Then, when I'm done with QFIL and run fastboot devices, the answer is "???????????? fastboot" and the device exits fastboot mode and starts a boot loop.What should I have?

Thanks for any suggestions.

My lg g8x inv is hard bricked, can I get your telegram @sourabh7625
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
glad to know you fixed your device.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] mayconz91:
Hi, im having the same problem as you, im my list i dont have tz_z, i only have tz_a and tz_b, the same goes for the hyp_z, only have a and b

i also dont have the "xbl_config.ebl_902" in the folder, in my case in only have the "xbl_config.elf_902"

my model is g710emw

im waiting for answers lol.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
you ned to use only "tz_a" on both "a" and "b" slots , same goes for hyp_a for both a and b slots.

and for xbl use xbl_config.elf_902

if you have an altered filename then just look out for same number at end of filename.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] mayconz91:
Ok

now, in this step

fastboot flash boot boot_a.img

when i execute the command it shows : fastboot: error: boot partition is smaller than boot image

the boot_a.img is 64mb is this the right size?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
on Lg G7 series model as far I know each one has 64MB sized boot partition.

we already flashed these partions in EDL mode and flashing in fastboot confirms that partitions do not get overwritten.

if it gives you an error then just perform whole step7 again but this time instead of using V35abl.img use abl_a.img you got from OneKeyExtraction.bat :

- find select and right click on "abl_a" then manage partition data and select load then select "abl_a.img"

- find select and right click on "abl_b" then manage partition data and select load then select "abl_a.img"

after finishing step7(QFIl should not have an error in log console, check for it )

close partition manager and let it restart device into EDL again.

to boot into fastboot now press Power and Volume down button and ready to leave Power as soon as phone restart while holding Volume down and let your device as it is in fastboot.

proceed to step9

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] mayconz91:
i did the entire step 7 again and now, when i execute fastboot erase boot it shows: fastboot: error: Failed to identify current slot

one more thing, when i execute fastboot devices for the first time, it shows my device, no problem here

but if i execute fastboot devices again it shows on prompt: "???????????? fastboot" and my cellphone leaves fastboot mode and i need to press any button to restart, is this normal?

when i execute fastboot erase boot, usually appears "unknown command", but after some tries (usually 4 or 5) it works (but right now fastboot erase boot is not working it only shows Failed to identify current slot or unknown command ),

the problem is, if i execute it too many times without success my cellphone turns off and then i need to execute the step 7 again, is this normal too?

i even reinstalled the lg driver and restarted my pc but, for example, i tried again fastboot erase boot

it only gives me 2 answers "fastboot: error: Failed to identify current slot" or

Erasing 'boot' FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

fastboot: error: Command failed

after 30 times trying to erase boot without success the cellphone leaves the fasboot mode and i need to press the power button to restart and make it make to fastboot mode.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Unlocked3:
I have followed the instructions and cannot boot past lg logo. I am lost because I have tried multiple .kdz files and they all failed to get back to android. I assume it's because I tried to flash ULM firmware instead of PM. I had to use ULM because there are no lg g710PMxx.kdz files as far as I can tell (because Sprint doesn't support FOTA updates, I guess). The .kdz files weren't corrupted because I had no failures extracting the .dz files.

I have backups of the original abl and laf partitions but nothing else.

I am talking to a seller on Ebay about getting an up-to-date lg g710PM backup sent to me but I have no clue what program to use, what needs to be sent, and if it will work in the first place.

Could someone tell me if it's possible to make a Sprint .kdz file I could flash with Qfil or some other utility? Or would I be able to do something with the current firmware and sprinkle in Sprint partition backups? I just need to boot to android and reenable oem unlock to get the phone rooted and continue with my previous goal.

Thank you and good luck to everyone in our lg issue boat!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] mayconz91:
Thanks, it worked !!!

i redid the step 7 again, skipped 8 and did the 9, it works fine now.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
okay , so your device can boot up(not having any bootloader problem) but can't get past LG logo to system. right ?

will you confirm that your device can boot into LG download mode ??

* switch off device then connect it to PC while holding VOL+ button, now it must shows a USB sign.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Unlocked3:
It shows the download mode screen, but even with LG UP open and searching, the device will just reboot.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
have you installed LG official mobile driver?

which firmware you are using to get boot into system?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Unlocked3:
I am using G710ULM20e_00_NAO_US_OP_1010.kdz as my kdz file. Other kdz files I have downloaded have been corrupted.

I have the lg Mobile drivers installed from the guide. Are there others?

EDL and fastboot work but I can only get into fastboot once. Then I get the red case. EDL is pretty reliable to get into.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:

I used Edl mode the same as the guide and watched QFIL for any errors and I didn't see any. Is there more I can do with EDL mode?

I have followed this guide and it lead to the same result. I have quite a few more ideas I will try and I will let you know if any work. I am bringing a fresh computer into the mix and I will try and redo this guide and yours as well.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
one more thing, you also want to root your G7? okay then, we'll do things differently.

*always select all files in DZ and even in KDZ extraction.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Unlocked3:
I tried a few different methods and always end up with the phone booting up to the lg logo with blue led on and never getting into android. I can get into LG up now because I left it open on the flashing menu.

Is LG up just flashing specific partitions, or does it do every partition? I'm thinking I messed up something simple and I can't think of what that was.

The two things I think I did was flash my original abl_a file after flashing another firmware and it told me there was a data overflow. Was that it? If so, how would I solve it? Other than that, I attempted rooting on pie and didn't know you needed to be on Oreo.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
yeah you've done mistake by flashing original abl_a file after flashing another firmware and attempted rooting on pie on a sprint to ULM model.

so, your current status is phone is stucked at LG logo.

have you tried my procedure? because I experienced this before bricking my device, that's why I made this much easy guide.

just download any of kdz from the links I shared and folow my guide.

Hello good day. I have accidentally erased all partitions while trying to unlock the bootloader with QFIL. The phone only turns on in EDL mode. Is there a way to get it back? (I'm a newbie) I await your response thank you very much
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] phamngoctan.vn:
Hi, i follow this guide to fix my bricked V405EBW (suddenly go to edl mode while using LGUP upgrade fw).

And now, i'm stuck on step 9, it show download mode's logo (animation), then turn off.

I try using extracted older fw (20a) and upgraded fw (30b - it's not compelete), but nothing changes, dont know where i went wrong :( Please help me out!

Thanks
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
you'll need to flash rawfirmware and patch xml through EDL mode.

and FYI your phone has already lost IMEI and serial number.

it takes time and efforts to develop required files for flashing on an erased phone because every model is different.

and actually I am on a bit busy schedule.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
have you completed step 8 ?

if yes, close everything then first connect your phone in fastboot and open LGUP click OK(in no device connected popup). a window will open containing empty list.

now restart phone through fastboot menu and press Vol+.

*opening LGup first forces phone to keep in download mode.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] phamngoctan.vn:
Yes, i completed all previous steps. I try holding LGUP Model list window opened, but nothing change.

My device's status is bootloop (sometimes and go off); download mode fail (pause on download mode icon appear, then turn off); fastboot fail on stock abl but success on v35abl.

ps: on v35abl, go to download mode is error red case.

Edit: I just saw a message on my screen after waiting bootloop (in my attach file)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
did your device had a unlocked bootloader ?

what is your device model ?

and once more perform step 8 and 9 again as follow :

in step 8 do this one also in addition to all others.

-find select and right click on "persist" then manage partition data and select load then select "persist(_something)"

in step 9 do this one also in addition to all others.

fastboot erase xbl

fastboot erase xbl_a

fastboot erase xbl_b

-------

fastboot flash xbl xbl_a.img

fastboot flash xbl_b xbl_a.img

fastboot flash xbl_a xbl_a.img

* boot into fastboot using V35abl. and all the images be flashed in fastboot must come from stock firmware kdz.

both of these step will ensure your device has a complete and secure qualcomm boot sequence.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] phamngoctan.vn:
I couldn't boot it into download mode, so i was curious to did unlocked bootloader (in fastboot on your step 8).

My device model is V405EBW (LG V40 Dual sim).

I tried to do all your addition commands, but nothing changes.

Thanks for your enthusiasm, maybe I'll have to take it to nearby mobile repair services :(
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Unlocked3:
Thank you for your help. I finally was able to get into android by using the images from the oneclick extractor instead of lg firmware extractor.

I'm new to LG phone. And have minimal knowledge on EDL mode.

Is this EDL mode a.k.a Engineering mode?

If yes, does this mean I can use this mode to use EFS Tool to enable voLTE since my country is not supported by LG Wing (the phone I'm using and having concern with)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] halojack:
I can't do step 8 , please ! help me !
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
EDL means emergency download mode by Qualcomm.

LG wing is capable of volte so there might be a chance that your carrier does not.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
as I can see from error, powershell is not supporting fastboot command.

try using CMD.

and make sure adb folder contains a file named as fastboot.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] fuadhdmini:
my carrier does support voLTE, because I've had it with other phone. Only that LG Wing is not supported for my country, thus lack the local bands supported in my LG Wing.

That's why I mentioned about using EFS tool to enable voLTE support for non supported countries like mine.

Some phone requires root to use the EFS tool method but some like OnePlus phone doesnt, because OnePlus phone has this so called Engineering mode, so I wonder if LG phone also has Engineering mode or not
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] sourabh7625:
I think this can be done through flashing a voLTE supporting rom* on your LG wing.

*(if korean version support volte then flash korean kdz else another region's rom)

Hello, have you managed to fix the problem? I hard bricked my V50 the same way...
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Conkel:
Well yes, sorta. You see, a file is required for reportioning the device. Since Lg isn't open source and I had a warranty on my device I chose to not worry about it as the bootloader was locked when I did this. However I will explain what I learned to my knowledge. Partitons.xml needs to be compiled. You would need an exact replica of the device you have especially to create things like the IMEI and others to make your phone well a phone. Without those unique number strings Android might work but that's about it. So even if you somehow managed to repartition it'd still need a way to restore those. Goodluck and let me know if I can provide something more

If I attempt to get into download mode using Vol+ and then plug in usb cable then I see the download image on screen just for a split second and then I get this other screen (second photo)

I thought that perhaps I may have made an error so I repeated the procedure once more but still the same. Phone was working fine before this except I could not lock the bootloader or root. I thought that this would cure

Also getting this:

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

Result: fastboot error. boot partition is smaller than boot image
