Hi everyone!
I recently bought a LG V10 h961n from eBay. I had no interest in root, so I updated it to marshmallow. However, I encountered huge wi-fi connectivity problems: the phone would connect to WiFi, but only really close to the router, and the latency was unexplainable high. The only workaround I have have found was a guide posted here in XDA which required root.
So, I started digging and I found a tot file of lollipop already rooted. I downloaded the kdz for lollipop hoping to downgrade using lgup and/or flash tool. All the flashing end with a 0x2000 error code in lgup and a "contact your system administrator" error on flash tool.
Now,the phone is stuck into download mode whatever button I press: power to boot normally, power+volume down or up.
The only combination working differently is volume up+down+power that bring me to the IMEI.
In the end, i was hoping that someone was able to find a solution. I really love this phone, and I would really feel bad if I had to throw it away and buy another one.
Thank you in advance.

It is, but it keeps rebooting over and over until I unplug it...
Solved, just kept trying to connect to lg bridge. In the end it detected my phone and installed the os by clicking on "update error recovery". Hope you'll solve too!
I have a LG K7 MS330 whose software was not working properly. Looking for a solution, I found that there were several firmware updates of this terminal (I had the version 10e compilation), which basically consisted of more recent versions of compilation distributed in kdz files. I proposed to download the latest update available ensuring I download the file corresponding to the smartphone region (MTP in my case).
So, I downloaded the file MS33010k_00_0405.kdz, the tool LGUP 1.14.3 and the file LGUP_MS330.dll version 0.1.2.7. I connected the phone to the PC and started the process.
At 99% the installation failed. However, I could still enter in download mode. So, I download an older version, the MS33010h_00_1021.kdz and repeated the process. This time I got no error.
However, when I finished, my phone went into hardbrick mode. Check the battery and no problem, even charging perfect inside the phone. I do not think the device has any problem with hardware as it worked before. The only life signal I have now from the device is connecting it via USB to PC and press the VOL +, VOL- and POWER buttons simultaneously. In this way, Windows recognizes it as "unknown usb device".
I would be grateful to anyone who can help me with this problem. Regards
I have the same problem!! Please!!
WOoh, I can't believe it. I have the same HEAD-BRICK, because my head has really bricked with this. I came here looking for answers and I just found that someone have the same problem than me, and with no answer. I did similars procediments before I get the hardbrick mode. Please, someone help me, I will really apreciate your help!!!! I really need to fix this!!! Please Please Please :crying: :crying:
i have the same problem too can some one help... no download mode.. no
emergency mode...please
Same.. Did anyone find out how to fix it?
Same issue... stuck in Qualcomm mode.
Any fix yet?
Need an mbn file for this K7. Looks like the only
Hope is finding the qfil file and firehose? Firehouse?. I forget. Xml file. If anyone has leads to where to start or links. It
Would be appreciated. Thank.
I have the exact same problem
I have the exact same problem that you have. I flashed an older rom by accident and now the screen is black and it is detected as qdloader9008. If anyone has found the firehose and the rest of the QFIL files then please help us.
Hello everyone! I am in dire need of help.
So I recently decided to acquire a regular Motorola G7 because I had heard its battery is fantastic. This far, I have been loving it.
But silly me decided I wanted to explore OEM boot unlocking to eventually root the device. After successfully completing theses tasks, I installed the TWRP recovery. Sadly, something (must have) went wrong because when I tried to reboot, the phone went into hard brick. Completely unresponsive, holding both power and vol. down button for 2+ minutes did nothing. I basically have exhausted every Internet recommendations thus far and nothing has been fruitful.
I have been able to get the Qualcomm Port 9008 (COM3) to show up in device manager when I hold power and vol. down. Also, the program QPST also recognizes a phone in Sahara download mode (although I have no idea what it means nor what to do with that, if anything).
So here I am, asking for your help. I have read somewhere that a blankflash zip file could allow me to restore my phone but alas, I wasn't able to find any nor would I know what to do with it.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Regards,
Afireblood.
Edit: I have managed to find a way to potentially salvage my bricked phone, using QIFL tool to flash a stock rom. However, to do so I need some files (which are proper to the Moto G7 - any other would not do). They are:
programmer (firehose?).mbn
rawprogram.xml
patch.xml
If anyone has any clue where I could find that (except everywhere on Google - it hasn't been helpful), I would very much appreciate it!

Update: Now in search of the Moto G7 specific blankflash.zip
If anyone knows where I can find that I would really appreciate it!!
I am not familiar with the g7. (I own a G5+). I believe the G7 code name is "river". You can look at https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/ and they show a blank flash - but let me say something - a blank flash must be exact for your phone. Its basically the main disk partition with other partitions inside. My phone has 64GB/4GB, and 32GB/3GB-2GB models - so you see a problem. But if all the G7s are the same, then this blank flash should be OK.
Also you can download the phones original firmware at https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/RETUS/ , if its a US model. If its not, back up 1 directory and you can find it by either carrier or country. You can fastboot the firmware - which I would do before a blankflash,
Hope that helps.
Hello,
I've been working on rooting an LG K20 M255 (ATT) for a few days with little luck. It refuses to get in to the bootloader using the manual button press method or adb. I can get it in to SAFE mode, but that's it. When I try to get in to the bootloader it just reboots normally.
My google-fu has led me to believe that this phone is not ideal for rooting, but it's what I've got and I wanted to exhaust all my options before I started looking to replace it.
If anyone has helpful information on how to unlock and root this thing, it'd be appreciated. My goal is to root it, image it with a linux build and attach a wifi dongle via OTG cable.
Assuming that I decide I've banged my head on the wall enough with this phone, are there recommendations for an inexpensive android device that would be a better fit for what I'm trying to accomplish? I've got a few in mind, but I'd really appreciate input from those with more experience than I.
Thanks!
I'm might be in wrong place but im Looking for any info on g8 power lite variant of g8 power. UK unlocked regards retail. Looking like It is a oddball as I cannot find anything. I don't think there will be much support but if anybody knows if this similar enough to any other variant ?? Android pie out the box no update. Not even Moto app to enable one button navbar. Any help thanks
Hello
I just got the LATAM version of that same phone, and i can tell you that it's gonna take some time to get information, but it will appear in some time.
Indeed, this is the right place, but it seems to be that similar models have variants around the globe, and the Moto G8 Power Lite it's not a priority right now.
I'm waiting the same for my version (XT2055-2), but it's just a matter of patience.
Keep looking on the forum and eventually it will appear some information

Yea I thought as much, motorola seems to be putting out lots of versions of every device. This is by far the worst device I have had in recent memory, seems be missing quite a bit of the usual options available on other recent moto devices. I would have a go at bits myself but it also seems my version of this device has a Chinese bootloader installed, I don't think I will still have this device by the time any work is done I need to change phones quite often for work. Good luck.

The chinese bootloader is something common on Motorola, even i have the same thing. But i guess they gonna come up with something. As per today, the Brazil version of this smartphone started getting Android 10 (with some bugs tho) so i guess Motorola gonna start moving things in the coming weeks

Go to Settings > About Phone > Model & hardware
and it will show you the Model, Serial number and Model(SKU) of the device. Ithing what you are after is the SKU.
Tip: Under the title "Model & Hardware" you should see "Model: moto g8 power lite" in a gray(er) font.
{This may vary between models and versions}
Hope this helps.

It's not possible to unlock the bootloader on the G8 power lite, only the G8/G8 power.
It cannot be done using fastboot but it is certainly possible using the Realtek VCOM USB protocol
Rooting Moto G8 Power Lite
Does anyone know where I can find a decent guide to rooting the G8 Power Lite (if one exists - I know it's only been out a few months)? I've had a Google around and looked on this forum and on reddit but I can't find anything. I haven't done...
forum.xda-developers.com
This video sums it up well
Essentially you need to:
1. download MTKCLIENT from github, works best on Linux IMHO but Windows works too - on Windows you need additional USB drivers and MTK Drivers, which i attached. Use PIP to install the requirements by going into the MTKCLIENT directory and typing into CMD/Terminal: python3 pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Copy the G8 power Lite specific script to the root folder of the MTKCLIENT
3. Open up the phone, remove the plastic covering the cameras and motherboard. Unplug the battery. Short these two pins either by soldering them together or just using something metal - this is only necessary during the flash and then should be removed.
View attachment 5889467
4. Plug in usb cable to the phone but dont connect it to the pc yet. Start the program either by CD-ing to the MTKCLIENT directory and running it via CLI (on Linux: python3 mtk w proinfo,seccfg proinfo.bin,seccfg.bin, If it wont unlock using the custom G8 script, just run this generic command: python mtk da seccfg unlock) or doubleclicking the desbloq_bootloader.bat on Windows. Then short the two pins, keep them shorted and connect the USB cable to the PC. You should see a bunch of code scroling, it will automatically close/end.
5. Unplug USB, remove short circuit from two pins, plug in battery, turn on phone, you should see lines of text during the boot like this:

Bootloader unlocked. Now the only use is ROOT, no custom ROMs or Recoveries available as its vastly different from normal G8 power, which has a Snapdragon CPU and totally different screen. You'll also get a big "CARRIER INVALID" message on the home screen, so after you ROOT make sure to relock the bootloader using the same method but the command is python3 mtk da seccfg lock
I'm almost sure that what I got it's a - Moto g8 Power lite - XT2055-1
So I got the phone long ago and it's been mostly at home and used as a backup by some of my friends.. I can't even remember which person had it last time.
Thing is that I completely forgot about the Motorola protection and after factory reset it keeps on asking for the last used google account which I got no clue which one would be. To make things worst I have no way to find out the IMEI's so that I can use Motorola RSA.
It looks like to me that I can't enter BootRom mode and I can only access preloader mode even tho, I got access to recovery mode and meta mode. I have tried all the key combos I can imagine by now.
I have also tried sp flash tools but I'm getting an error when the process is starting.
I'll drop some more details soon.. thank you.

I did before as far as I recall but I gave up on it I think 'cus I ran into some issues as well.. I'm a bit rusty when it comes to this kind of stuff.. now that I'm reading all again about the tools etc I'm gonna give mtkclient a go and keep you all posted. Thank you again.
First off some questions please.. and I'm running win 11 pro.
What am I suppose to see on the screen when on Brom mode ? or how do I know that I'm on that mode.. obviously that if I'm not the operations just fail.
cant run mtk_gui atm for some reason trying to clear that out.. 'C:\Users\Q\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\shiboken6\libshiboken does not exist'
Also tried bypass_utility_v1.4.2 using dif. key combos always returns 'device in preloader mode, trying to crash..'
mtkclient handshake returns failed 'Preloader - [LIB]: status: handshake failed, retrying..'
I'll keep on trying to understand all this just need my time.. all help appreciated.

for brom/preloader mode you will need to use the shorting method shown in the previously mentioned youtube video, not sure why you're trying mtk_gui and bypass_utility_v1.4.2 , what are you trying to achieve by using them?
Well reading from github where you get the mtkclient I thought that I could unlock the bootloader using the bypass_utility_v1.4.2 just like that.. guess ain't that easy and tbh after reading your previous words also thought that I could try using the mtkclient regardless being via the gui or the terminal.
I have seen some posts about the Brasilian fella and more shorting method but thought that by now wouldn't be needed anymore.. I did have my phone open before 'cause of that.. guess I'll have to have a look again.. my bad.
Thanks again.

you might be able to get into brom/preloader mode by holding volume down button while it is booting but shorting also brings the same result

I still can't believe what is that I ran into.. so was about to disassemble the motherboard/cameras cover that doesn't look that straight forward but went on checking again some bits on the vid.. meanwhile made a search for moto g8 power lite disassembling when got the suggestion moto g8 power lite frp bypass.. the first vid solved my issue.. I just died 'cus I have been wondering about an hack like this for ages now.
I'll come back for some further assistance on some other devices when I get the... brains.
Thanks for the support @aryanhington

care to share what you did so we can know?
I do care.. I also care the way some people talk to others behind screens.
Now if you read what I have just said on my previous post and the first post so to get what you/I'm dealing with you will realize that I was stuck on welcome screen, after soft reset, 'cus of FRP, once the last google account used was still active and I had no clue. Just use the search string on youtube that I have mentioned and on the first vid follow the 20k steps to be able to bypass google/android FRP.
Farewell.
Would someone please point me out their fav XT2055-1 roms ?
Thank you.
