Are you able to enter download mode ?
If yes then you can simply flash stock ROM via PC Odin to unbrick your device

If his phone is dead and showing the QHSUSB driver, then he's past the help of Odin.
OP: Not sure if there is an image available. Nothing I could find in the forums here or via quick Google search. You might need a JTAG service. I recommend these guys:
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/
They don't have your phone listed, but they might be working on the method for it...
Edit: Sorry, realized you were trying to make your own. You might check out the method for another phone and see if you can reverse engineer it with the files you need for yours...

Here is the list of original firmware files for your phone as well:

I believe you would need one that also includes the PIT file, if any.

Good job on the fix!
For uploading large files, I like Mega or you can use something like dev host.

The following guide will get you back to where you should be able to odin everything back to stock.
What you need:
16GB or 32GB microSD card (all data will be erased from this sdcard)
microSD card reader
Linux Live Disc, Windows can be used, instructions below.
One of the following images based on your software
4.4 NG4 SM-G7102 https://mega.co.nz/#!RJoH2Iga!xs1M6721DeFZY_bDWEmAacf2ai_KKpl_EUwkgeuIBPY
How to get it done:
Linux Instructions
Boot your Linux OS
Download the debrick image listed in the Item's needed list
Open terminal on your Linux OS
Insert your microSD card into the reader
Plug your microSD card reader into your computer
Run
Code:
dmesg | tail
you should see something that mentions where it is mounted via /sdX
*
Code:
dd if=/path_to_debrick.img of=/dev/sdX
again where X is the microSD card ignoring the partition numbers as they should be overwritten
I had to do this a couple times for the image to actually take
*
Code:
parted /dev/sdX print
If you will see Error about the GPT table being corrupt you can type "OK" and then you will be given an option to Fix/Ignore; type "Ignore"
should show approximately 23 partitions (IIRC)
Windows Instructions
Download win32diskimager
Download your debrick image
Unzip both items and run win32diskimager
Run win32diskimager
browse for your extracted debrick image
Select your microSD in the dropdown box
Click write
Instructions required for both
remove the microSD card from the reader
remove the battery, sim and external microSD card from your device
insert your debrick microSD into your phone
insert the battery and down your power button (at this point your phone might actually boot completely and you can recovery any software/data you want)
reboot into Download mode either via adb or Volume Down + Home + Power
Once the device is booted into bootloader remove the microSD card.
follow the directions in the ODIN thread and make sure you UNCHECK partition!
* requires su privileges
Once you have your device booting with the SDcard, youll need to flash the stock odin firmware which you can get from samfirmware.com. make sure you flash teh version or a newer one than what you had, you cannot downgrade.

i can help you. first you need a micro sd card that is the size of your tablet. for example, if you have a 16gb tablet, you need a 16gb sd card. if you have a 8gb tablet, you need a 8gb sd card. ok now that you got the sd card (this process will delete everything on the sd card, make sure to back it up!), download this ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ ) this puts the .img onto the sd card. Put the sd card into a slot on the computer (you need an adaptor in order to put it in your regular sd slot, or you need one that plugs into your usb drive) open the program, select the drive letter the sd card is assigned to (you can find this out in My Computer). then select the .img file. click start. it will put it on the sd card. after its done, put the sd card in your tablet, and attempt to turn it on. hopefully it works.

The image provided is for G530AZ but the howto will be for all models.
I recently hard bricked my prime trying to unlock the bootloader, overwrote aboot and sbl1. The phone was dead. no power, no sound, no nothing.
Luckily for me I had access to an identical phone and was able to create a sd card that loads all the 'hidden' partitions (aboot, sbl1, recovery, boot and whatnot)...and after a day of heartache i was able to recovered my phone.
Unzip the debrick.img
Write the image to a blank sd card with win32 diskimager
Put in the card and power on with -Vol+Home+Power, download mode will run from your sd and you can flash the full firmware with odin
Img creation method 1:
Su and busybox are required.
In your favorite terminal emulator
Type
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Allow su permission
busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/debrick.img bs=1M count=128
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will create a raw image of the first 128mb of your phone in the root of your phones internal memory.
Connect to your pc with usb and copy the img to your pc.
Then write your image to a blank sd with win32 diskimager
Img creation method 2:
Place your phone in downloader mode by powering the phone with on with -Vol+Home+Power pressed.
Extract the pit file from your full firmware tarball. Flash the pit and tar with odin like normal, except this time tick tflash.
It will more than likely fail writing the system partition, if it made it that far your sd should still work, as all the important partitions come before system.
Once you're thru and would like to use your sd again format with something like this free formatter
enjoy

Nice guide.
I installed TWRP and my GRAND PRIME sm-g530bt does not turn on. It does not go into fast boot mode. Only a blue and vibrating light is blinking.

Did You Put debrick img in Your Sd Card and Chose this in Win32diskimager to Write? Or You Chose The One Which Was Downloaded at Your PC?
I used the one that you have on here it says it's corrupted, put your file on my computer extracted it then I put a new sd card in reader pluged it into my phone, then I found the file I extracted sent it to my sd card, opened wins 32 disk imager selected write it said successfull, put it into the phone powered it up nothing, I know I must be doing somthing wrong, it says it is a blank image, is it maybe that I copyed it directly from your link on xxda? Can you tell me where I can directly download the link? What am I doing wrong? I have three of these phones, can I use the good one to fix the bad one?

Use The Debrick Image Which You Got Downloaded to Your PC to Write in The Win32DiskImager, and Before That Format Your Sd Card in FAT32 File System.
Yes, I did what you said, but nothing, but I put the sd card in my other phone which is the same as my as my broken one, and it just stays on the logo, I wish I could put all my information off my good phone on to my sd card and put the sd card into the bad one to boot it up, if that would work, ?? I apologize for nagging you, I just wish I could get it to work,

hi .. can someone help me here and share debricked img to my G530w. or can i use the above G530AZ debricked img file into my G530W ?link to my thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/g530w-hardbricked-power-download-mode-t3747309
This is my very first thread and I'm super new here, my LG G4 LS991 got bricked for downgrading firmware. I tried QFIL but it failed saying ''Device is not in Firehose mode'' I had shorted TP as well but didn't work at all. Eventually, I've given up flashing this using USB. I've found that many people entered into download mode using an SD Card but most of them are H811 variant where mine is LS991.

Yes i have solution, i make my unbrick file for LS991ZVI ARB4 by sdcard repair. If your version is same i can give you the file. Or if your version is lower then me you also can use this but you can't downgrade lower version. You have to flash the same ARB version of firmware (ZVD,ZVF,ZVG,ZVI etc).

Here is the SD Card unbrick dump file For LG LS991 Device http://bit.ly/ls991arb4 . This file made from the original version of ZVI firmware.
=> Use SD Card minimum 32GB if not work with this size then use another one like 64GB and 128GB.
=> When your SD Card is ready insert it on bricked device and go to download mode.
=> When your device is run in to download mode just remove the SD Card and start flash with LGUP tools.
=> That's all.
Note: It's ARB4, only support all version of firmware that contain arb4 and up (lg release up to arb4 on this model of device).

I unzipped the file and got a lot of other files. How do I write to sd card and what program to use? Also, I am greatly appreciative of this work you have done. Thank you very much!

Your English is alright as I am not a strong english person myself hahaha. Anyways, the method you provided worked indeed. However, the device is now able to access download mode but LGUP is seeing it as "unknown" I have tried several tutorials but to no avail.
Previously I have a Huawei Nova3i phone and unfortunately for some reason the phone has been physically damage so im in my new phone now (Xiaomi Redmi note 9s).
I decided to use my Old micro SD card (Sandisk 64gb) that i was using before from my previous phone in order for me to retrieve my Old files that was saved from the card.
The moment i inserted the card I realized all my file( pictures, video, music, documents etc.) was inaccessible. All files were still there but cannot be opened. For instance when i tried to open either 1 picture or video i just say " File format is not supported or file is corrupted."
FYI also tried to access the files thru pc but it seems files were really corrupted.
Been searching for too long to fix this issue, also tried to delete all nomedia files from the card but still doesnt fix the problem.
Appreciate it much if somebody can help me fix this. Thanks in advanve.

If the SD-card mentioned was formatted as Adoptable Storage, then it got encrypted, means it isn't readable by any card-readers. It's only readable within phone where it was used at first.
