thanks a lot man,you save my life .Next time,before another experiment maybe do backup myself).

Also,a small information for all: never use USB 3.0 port via fastboot,it isn't work,and can kill your phone.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Surgemanxx:
Yes,it's always suggested 2.0 or lower.I brick it,I'll fix it...lol...
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.arest:
Could one of the LG v50s users take a look at these fl_loader.exe usage?

I kindly ask you to check 2-3 values from the middle.

I'm not sure I'm using the correct start_sector values.

If everything is correct it would be helpful for other LG v50s users.

I don't have a v50 variant,but comparing what you have with my G8x partition list it looks real close for sector points you have listed.The V50 sector sizes are slightly larger in portions,but the list should work fine.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Surgemanxx:
By the way,did you find the proper kdz file for your V50s variant?If not,here's a complete list of firmwares for the V50s.To download any of these,you'll need the kdz downloader which I'm attaching as well.

Unfortunately smartphone bricked after flashing these partitions - the phone does not respond to any actions. Looks like I have to use Test Point again. Perhaps you know what the problem is?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Annotator:
Hello. When trying to restore partitions, it gives the following error ("fh_loader.exe" is not internal or external

command, executable program, or batch file.)

Spoiler content hidden.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Annotator:
Does the cmd program need to be in the bin folder or does it need to be run in Windows? through win + r and through the search with administrator rights cmd gives the error above
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Surgemanxx:
Let's make this easy.Extract this to a folder.Place the LUNS files of choice in the same folder with the fh loader and CMD.Right click CMD,and run as Admin.Past the command line for each LUNS file you want to write.Problem solved!
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Annotator:
Gives me these errors

Copy and paste the command lines.

Copy and paste the command lines exactly like I have them.You have a space in between the dashes.Also,make sure the file names are correct and all LUNS files are in the folder with FH Loader and CMD
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Surgemanxx:
Like this as an example.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Annotator:
Everything worked))) It was necessary to change the names of the moons, because in your new code there were already others and, in theory, it was necessary to sew each line separately.

The script offered me 4 firmwares:

1: V510N10X_00

2: V510N20U_00

3: V510N30G_00

4: V510N40F_00

As far as I understand, they are based on different versions of Android (9, 10, 11, 12).

It seems that there was an Android 10 version, but I'm not entirely sure. How can I check it?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Surgemanxx:
You're correct with the version numbers.10x is A9,20U is A10 etc...
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.arest:
AFAIK I selected correct version (A10, firmware 20U). But why doesn't the phone show any signs of life? Even if I plug in the charger, the phone doesn't show charging even though it was displaying charging normally before.

Is it possible that this is a hardware error (e.g. flash memory?)

But I have also a few question about your backup (backup_lg-v50s.rar):

First of all, are .bin files the same as .img files and could they be interchangeable?

Then please take a look to the following scenario:

I replace in your backup LUN5 partitions (fsc.bin, fsg.bin, modemst1.bin, modemst2.bin) by my saved copies. Then I restore this backup. This should unbrick the phone.

Am I right, and most importantly, is there any way to restore this backup without booting into normal mode?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ardian1899:
interchangeable? based on my exp, yes.

You can try your idea. After restoring these LUs, you dont have to restart and you can replace them on the partition manager.

I just bricked my v50s by flashing the files from the v50 thread (I think you might know which tutorial in talking about), and now my phone can't even ever EDL mode, I would have to short pin out the motherboard as far as I've been told. I was looking for the QFIL files for this model since I don't have any backups but it seems your file was taken down, could you please share it again? Or could you tell me how to get the files from a KDZ archive?

You're literally my savior. I just gave a question, the ROM is Android 9, if I flash the partitions to recover the Download Mode, will I be able to update it later to Android 12? Or the boot partitions doesn't matter?. Thank you so much for this tool BTW.

Ok got it, thanks. And by this method do you know if once updated to Android 12, the fingerprint sensor works again?. Happens that the bootloader is already unlocked and the sensor isn't working but a saw a tutorial to get it working when you downgrade to Android 9.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeremeexd7:
the proximity sensor doesn't work for me

Maybe firmware problem
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeremeexd7:

[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iMarzateD:
Well, already tried to recover the phone from the brick state without any success yet. I'm still trying to make the LGUP program detects the device, since at this moment it just says "Unknown Model" and I can't flag the ROM. But in the past, neither the fingerprint sensor or the proximity sensor were working. Even on the LG Smart Doctor app appeared as not working.

I have a LMG20um Canadian version. I had never rooted nor done anything to mess it up. One day after a full discharge(0% charge)and charging, it started to bootloop(just 'powered by android' screen). For the first few times it displayed the lg logo but crashed and stopped doing so. I tried to enter download mode . And 'download mode'(small rectangle with blue dots ) was displayed but it doesn't enter 'update firmware' screen(it did but just once).I followed this tutorial(Ba) without any errors but still no change on how the phone manners. I am able to charge it but it is rapidly discharging at the same time. Could it be a hardware problem?

could someone help me?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeremeexd7:

[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fire Ant:
Are you saying so because I said about rapid discharging? What I meant was that as the phone is constantly trying to boot (which require more battery than usual) , it is discharging faster compared to normal usage. I guess this info was irrelevent for my solution. The issue I face is the broken download mode. should i flash something in edl or something

Is there any chance of Imei and Network info still remain intact after hard brick ( phone wasnt even booting, after battery drained completely pc recognized it as qusb_bulk....)

As It was my first time bricking v50 , I followed each and steps accordingly.

Phone booted , flashed kdz , IMEI, sim, network ecerything was fine. And I didn't know that it was impossible !!

Though the phone recovered ,it was tough work so I was looking for easy solution! someone uploaded their lun0-6 full backup in a zip file.

I downloaded it and waited for the Hard Brick patiently...And after three days the moment came. I used Qfil helper tool to flash back his whole back up after flashing the GPT file...

voila... Perm lock!!!

I then erased the gpt several times and flashed many different files, nothing changed!

How did I got saved the first time? Any clue?

[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netmsm:
Here you'll find all files.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Luwak:
Thank you, I found this before but I wasn't 100% sure I could use these files. I turned on the phone, reset modemst1, modemst2, fsg, fsc and it works fine. I have one more problem that I started to play with system swapping, when I use the preferred lte / 4g mode, my phone does not receive incoming calls, when I manually switch to 3g, the calls are fine. I tried systems from different versions and the problem still remains, originally it is a Korean version, bought in Taiwan, currently used in Poland :). Is dual sim option available for every phone after software change or does it depend on harware? My old LG v20 dualsim version had a different main board than the regular version, I suppose it is similar here. There is an unlocked version with the VoLTE option as standard, if my service provider does not officially support this model, will I see a button to change VoLTE settings?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netmsm:
Good =)

The new approach for dual sim is different from the old one on V20. It seems all variants have the same HW and somehow software manages it. I have a Korean V30 that is singular sim but when I crossflash it to a H930D, which is dual sim, software shows the options of dual sim and also HW detects sim on both slots but notwork doesn't work!

For VOLTE please check this guide.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Luwak:
I tried this guide before but couldn't find the file with European service providers.

I did crossflash with g810 (g8s) which is officially supported in my country and took modem files from it. Curiosity, I changed the modem files from the original g820 software because on the g810 software I did not have access to the network and the phone could normally connect to the network. In the menu * # * # 4636 # * # * it showed WIFI Calling and VoLTE access, but I still didn't receive LTE calls, when I tried to call with LTE turned on, the application was crashing (maybe it's a hardware problem). I went back to the g820 software and added carriers from the modems file from g810, unfortunately nothing has changed, still can't receive calls in 4GLTE mode.

Currently, I have run out of ideas.

Generally my post is a bit off the main thread so you can delete it.

Thanks fo help!
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netmsm:
If I can help I'd be obliged to do so even if the subject isn't directly related to the topic.

Unfortunately, in VoLTE and generally band related issues I feel I'm out of my depth maybe because here we do not have 4G calling service at all. However, I've seen something related to VoLTE in the hidden menu under field test > universal enabler. (y)

So, after waving my arms wildly (like a car lot blow-up doll), I hard bricked my G8x.

No qualcom interface, no screen, no hope.

Be careful if you need your phone - experiment at your peril.

Looking into possible JTAG port recovery now, which requires disassembly with a hot iron or hair dryer.

So much fun, so little time.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] netmsm:
Now, that's just great ^_^

Reckon it is caused by wrong xbl/abl. No need to worry, it'll get into EDL.

Try this, connect usb cable, hold power and vol- then hitting vol+ too many times; repeat it until you find that not working.

If not, hold power and vol- for 30 seconds.

If not, let it rest for an hour and then repeat.

If not, open the back cover, find the EDL connectors and connect them together then put usb cable in.
