as i said above beyond that start menu i get nothing the phone just instantly reboots and loops back to the menu, its like that recovery mode has been wiped, if that is the case is there anyway to put that back?

Have to request paid service from someone, or utilize EDL.

Did you use the button combination (power & vol down) with phone attached to computer via USB?
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] Jayzteroid:
I tried to flash the phone line by line (8b) also. After every command line the prompt says OKAY, but still no luck.

Super.img writing takes 0.000s for most parts, which sounds odd to me.

After the line by line round phone seems to be even more stuck.

When I try to execute command lines again, I get:"remote: `Flashing is not allowed in Lock State'"

Has anyone had any experience using EDL on this particular device?

After following this procedure the problem was fixed. Now I can't install the June 2023 security patch. It gives me an installation error. Someone else happens?
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] hikari_calyx:
Try to search update and reinstall. You were probably seeing older May 2023 security patch update.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] hikari_calyx:
If you used older version of unbrick package and failed to install firmware image and caused the phone stay at Fastboot mode:

1. Download and extract the n83_protoabl_bootloader.zip attached below.

2. Copy the abl_proto.elf from the unbrick package to where you extracted n83_protoabl_bootloader package, and rename it into "BGT-abl.elf".

3. Disassemble the phone, disconnect the battery and short the test point according to this post. Then connect to PC.

4. If you're using Windows, make sure the phone is showing as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in device manager. If it's not HS-USB QDLoader 9008, update the driver and change it into QDLoader 9008, disconnect the phone and enter EDL mode again.

5. Use QFIL to load rawprogram4.xml and prog_firehose_ddr.elf attached below - remember to change the memory type into "UFS" before you proceed.

6. Click Download to flash prototype ABL image. Once it's done, disconnect the phone and reattach the battery.

7. You should be able to reuse newer version of unbrick package to unbrick the phone.

8. If the phone still stays at Fastboot mode, try "fastboot continue" command.

I followed the guide fully, everything seemed fine. Only thing that seemed even the slightest bit odd was that after the Paypal Donation notice nothing happened so I just closed the CMD window. Now I'm stuck in infinite Fastboot mode. Not sure if I did anything wrong there by just closing the CMD window maybe?

Used the V4 package, on Windows 10, with platform-tools_r34.0.4-windows.

Tried all options in fastboot mode, no matter what I choose it just quickly reboots back into fastboot mode.

EDIT: Did press Power+VolUp and the screen went black. Installed Qualcomm drivers. Device shows up in QFIL and device manager, but as 900E, not 9008. Does that mean I would have to disassemble the device and use the test points?

EDIT2: Device is a Swedish TA-1243.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] hikari_calyx:
1. Make sure the location you have extracted does not contain spaces / brackets.

2. Do not run open_me_to_install with administrator previleges.

3. Have you imported RegistryFix.reg to prevent potential issues?

And yes, you'll have to disassemble the device and access to test point at this point.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] glenn9k:
1. Oh ok, that would have been good to know haha. Was at "D:\Nokia 8.3". Everything seemed to flash fine though.

2. Did not open with admin priv.

3. Yes, I did everything as instructed in Post #1.

But ok, will open the backside and see what I can do. In QFIL (once I have 9008), I should "just" select the abl_proto.elf, go to Partition manager, and flash that file to both abl_a and abl_b? Then reboot phone and hope that recovery mode works? Sorry if noob questions, I have never done any EDL stuff before.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] hikari_calyx:
one you have both abl_a and abl_b flashed you can now rerun open_me_to_install .
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] glenn9k:
Ok, so managed to flash abl_proto.elf into both abl_a and abl_b.

Then ran the CMD file again. All seemed fine (as long as the "writing" after each send is supposed to be 0.000s).

Rebooted phone afterwards. Got an angry message about the phone not having a valid operating system and wont boot. Then it went back into fastboot mode and I still can't get into recovery or get it to boot.

What would be the next thing to try? I would like to do the whole sideload thing again but can't (?) since I can't get into recovery/adb sideload menu.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] cmtn:
Hi All,

Regarding the comment "IF JUNE 2023 OR NEWER UPDATE RELEASES IN FUTURE", do not use this method, what does this mean actually? If an 8.3 5G is bricked already after the May security update, this procedure from Hicari remains the only recovery method (unless you want to void warranty and unlock bootldr). Just thinking ahead to using this recovery method and if there are consequence afterwards. Any insight would be appreciated.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] hikari_calyx:
Your phone cannot be unbricked if your phone got June 2023 update installed, unless you unlock the bootloader.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] glenn9k:
Ok, tried a re-running the CMD file a couple of times now. Can not get out of fastboot mode.

Also tried flashing each line manually, same result. Also tried shortening down the folder name in case that would cause any issues.

Also, after doing either the .cmd file or the manual flashing, upon first boot, I get the message in the photo attached below.

I'm beginning to think that something did go wrong in the initial sideload.

What can I do to get back the recovery mode and try sideloading the OTA package again? If that could even be the issue.

EDL is fine if needed, I've gotten the hang of it now.

Please help :)

When your phone was bricked when you attempt to perform the firmware installation procedure?

In this case you may have no options other than unlocking the bootloader.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] glenn9k:
Wow, finally got the phone working again.

After unlocking the bootloader and running the flash script yet again, it finally allowed me back into Recovery mode where I chose Factory Reset, and then, FINALLY it booted up again.

Thanks a lot. Will donate after next payday.

One final question: Is it possible to re-lock the bootloader?
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] allineedis:
my turn came so the phone bricked in the" try again - android one logo - try again or wipe everything "state with the error for android . full message is Cant load android system . Your data may be ... etc

managed to get to recovery mode with volupe up and turn off buttoms but I have no knowledge for bootloaders etc never done anything similar so :

1) i dont know which security patch i had , i live in Greece

2) opening the bootloader will erase everything I have inside the phone? (and i got lost in the guide is it for 2023 versions as well ? i thought it was for older while reading) where excalty should i start?

3) Factory data reset may solve the problem instead of opening the bootloader (as last resort) or it would not help ?

4) would it be a wise choise to remove sd card before doing anything else ?
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] glenn9k:
1. ?

2. I think it will, yes. At least that's what the warning from HMD Global (that showed up when I was about to unlock my bootloader) said.

3. After following this guide and doing all the things (AND unlocking the bootloader), it still wouldn't boot for me until I finally did a Factory Data Reset. So it could be worth trying that first, yes.

4. Yes, remove it if you have any data worth saving on it.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] hikari_calyx:
Relocking the bootloader is pretty complicated and absolutely not worth doing.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenny_1291:
I am in the same situation you were in before, stuck in fastboot and cannot get into recovery mode anymore. How did you manage to unlock the bootloader? When I run

fastboot flash BGT-abl.elf

I get the following error: "Writing 'abl_b' FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed in Lock State')"

Any tips on how to proceed is appreciated.
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Guides, News, & Discussion] glenn9k:
Sadly, I had to follow the links scattered around in this thread and on this forum to learn how to get into EDL mode, and then flash some stuff (the a l proto files into two separate partitions) that way. After that I could follow the guide to unlock bootloader etc. Sorry if this doesn't help much, I have already forgotten much of it. Read through this whole thread a few times though, I found many clues in here.

[Touch HD General] hussain143:
Should I get this lovely device now or wait for a while? my concern is the price!!!
[Touch HD General] Nighthawk2050:
yes as it is a good device.
[Touch HD General] miki1971:
wait to see new roms, now Diamond is better...or iphone
[Touch HD General] Alkali:
Well, waiting will bring the price low and also new ROM will be available but by that time newer devices will be available and you will impress no one.
[Touch HD General] StaticPlaya:
I just ordered my from expansys. I was in the same position but I have read all of the reviews and played with it in the shop and I was really impressed. When I left the shop I wanted the phone more. Buy it either sim free or on contract which is what I did.
[Touch HD General] mallman:
I second every word of this :D
[Touch HD General] MistaRip:
of course u should get it now.

i got mine last week and i ****in love it. there is no phone better

lol at the guy saying the iphone and the diamond are better. especially the iphone. haha

i got mine for $790 with free shipping on ebay from a guy in miami, fl

i paid $710 cuz i had a 10% discount
[Touch HD General] Prerna:
I think the price is basically quite low, so I wouldn't expect it to get much lower before long.

What makes me wait a bit is I got so disappointed buying the Touch Pro when it hits the stalls, that I prefer now to wait and see more comments and ROM' improvements before going for the Touch HD.
[Touch HD General] Cheeze[iT]:
who cares if it doesn't turn heads... as long as it turns your head it will be fine. read around on what the phone can actually do and see if it still excites you. remember you get what you pay for... i love the phone so far. great screen and the fact that I can customize every little detail to my personal liking is a plus.
[Touch HD General] hussain143:
thank you everyone i will proceed with my order now
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] iMarzateD:
Hi everyone, I bought this phone working from second hand but the seller told me he tried to unlock the bootloader without success and the phone still loose the fingerprint sensor, so I decided to unlock the bootloader successfully following THIS thread and made a downgrade to Android 9 according to THIS other tutorial hopping to get it work again but I wasn't able to do it, so I decided to just use LGUP to install the same Android 12 that I had but the problem started at this point because once the KDZ was installed successfully, the deviced got a bootloop but I still was able to get into EDL, Fastboot and Download Mode, so I tried the steps from THIS other thread to unbrick it but it got even worse at this point, I flashed all the abl, xbl, etc. partitions and the "rawprograme files" via QFIL and then the phone won't even gave any life signals. I contacted someone that some months ago had the same problem and he told me that I could get into EDL by short pining the test point on the motherboard, which actually worked, so I extracted the KDZ Android 9 rom that I flashed in the first place to get the original abl, xbl, etc. partitions that I crossflashed from a v50 (Which I downloaded from the corresponding thread for unbrick), in other words I flashed the same partitions with the correct v50s files instead other model ones. So now this is where I'm right now, the phone don't turns on at all but when I connect it to the PC it gets recognized as LGE Android Platform USB Serial Port (COM11) and the buttons combinations don't work at all, so still can't get into Download mode by any method or even turn off the device, but I still can disconnect the battery and short pin the Qualcomm 9008 mode to use QFIL.

Would someone please be so kind of telling me how could I recover the Download Mode to use the COM4 and COM5 ports to flash the phone via LGUP?. According to THIS other thread, I could get the correct XML "rawprograme files" for my device (which I crossflashed with the v50) from a KDZ using some tools and Python, but I have to be honest: I DON'T KNOW HOW, even with the step by step tutorial.

At this point I think this would be the right step, to flash all the original files for my model and get the Download Mode back to be able to flash the KDZ rom via LGUP and update via OTA to Android 12 again to avoid the bootloop problem.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] darrelama:
try to reflash(QFIL method) modified abl should get the download mode back
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] iMarzateD:
Thanks for replying, but I have some questions:

1. The abl file you mean is the engineering one? And...

2. Would you be so kind of telling me how to flash via QFIL? I've seen that it's possible but as far as I know, I need a specific type of rom files to do it, and I don't know how to convert a KDZ or where to download a QFIL ROM.

Thanks!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] darrelama:
yes, engineering one mentioned here （THIS）

QFIL>Tools > Partition Manager

read abl_a and abl_b to backup then load abl engineering file to both

basically the same steps up to the following:

"Go back to Partition Manager and right click on abl_a again then select Manage Partition Data, then Select Load and choose the abl engineering file.

Do the same for abl_b."

then try download mode
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] iMarzateD:
Hello again, already tried flashing the engineering abl but I still can't get into download mode. The phone keeps off the whole time and by plugging in the USB cable, no matter what button combination, the PC always recognizes it as the same LGE Android Patform USB Serial Port (COM11), the only other state of the device is the Qualcomm 9008 by pinning the motherboard. This specific COM11 state never was able to flash anything by PC, I don't know what actual mode is, but when I was able to set the devide in Download Mode the PC always showed 2 devices in the Device Manager, the COM5 and the COM4, that way I knew I was able to use the LGUP to flash. I'm thinking that I'm not setting the phone on the correct state to flash by any method, but since the buttons seems not to work, I don't know how could I do it.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] ardian1899:
While on this mode "LGE Android Patform USB Serial Port (COM11)", try to hold both power and vol- for some seconds until the "LGE Android Patform USB Serial Port (COM11)" disappear from your PC device manager and immediately release both and now hold vol+ button to get into download mode.

You can do it while on the 9008 mode too though.

Maybe that can help.

I have LUNs backup for v50s but I can't upload it due to my internet plan quota limit.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] iMarzateD:
Thanks, I'll try that for sure to see if I can get into the Download Mode or something. I would appreciate so much if you could share your backup, since I think I could restore the whole firmware with it, but I don't have any experience on the "LUNs" tho. I'm any case, I don't have too much time every week to give it a try, so I hope tomorrow I could test the combo you say.

I thought I could use the links like above, but exchange the name of the application to the file-path? This seems to work for my installed applications, e.g. Xperia Tweak can be started by with:

But my own application can not be started with:
