Bricked V10 - T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bricked my v10. I was running Eliminator74 Full V20j and (I guess) I chose the wrong rom (my guess is that I accidentally chose V20E instead) I wasnt trying to downgrade, I was just switching from the full V20J to the custom V20J. Now it doesn't even go into download mode (I tried by hard keys, volume up + power, volume up + connect usb and nothing) no recovery/fastboot mode either. I tried the steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/debrick-phone-h901-qualcomm-9008-t3440359 to debrick but if I can't even go into download mode is no use. My computer recognizes when I plug the phone, in computer management it shows like: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) and thats it.
Help? I'm on a windows phone until I can buy a new phone or (hopefully) find a way to fix this one.

I just saw your post & immediately afterwards I went to the ROMs section and saw what your basically describing. Here's the link to the fix for it http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/debrick-phone-h901-qualcomm-9008-t3440359

I don't think you actually read the post. The same link is in it, if the phone does not go into download mode I cannot do anything.

I'm so sorry. I did not see you had posted the link in your question. I think I misunderstood what you were asking (either that or I misunderstood the other post that we both linked to). Sorry for bothering you with something you had already tried =/

I am having the same issue. Just boots to the LG, tries to go to stock recovery and then restarts. When I put it into download mode, the blue icon comes up saying Download Mode, then it restarts and bootloops with the LG and green android. It's a joke now. I hate how there's like literally a small group of people developing on this phone.

[Q] I think my TAB is DEAD!

I rooted and then flashed the Bonsai ROM(v0.1.5) with the Kernal (v2.6.36.4) Monday. I played around with the tab for about 5 hours, went to sleep, woke up, noticed that the battery was low so I decided to put it on the charger. And as soon as I plugged it in the charger, my tab froze and the screen turned off! What happened? This tab has been on the charger for about 28 hours now and it still will not come back on! What's wrong? I've tried every combination known to man (I think) trying to power this thing back on... and nothing happens. Am I bricked or is this the sleep of death? I have search threads for hours trying to find a solution and I can't find anything.
Any help from anyone with getting this thing back on
will be rewarded with a couple of beers, soda, sandwiches or whatever
floats your boat. I don't want to have to send it in to Samsung. Only GOD knows how long it will take for them to send it back.
I'm in the exact same situation, buttons are all not responding :/
Do you think it is the SOD (sleep on death) issue? several posts have been talking about it.
Please use the new Galaxy Q&A Forum for Questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'll take it if you don't want it bc its dead

Try booting into recovery (Vol down + power).
Also try charging again with a different outlet/cable. It still sounds like it's dead.

I can't get it into any state. It simply won't turn on.
Isn't this the time where he has to use external means, like Odin or one of those programs that can kick it out? Anyone care to give more info on those?

When asking for help on forums, never say you have tried "everything".
Specifically list what you have tried, because you may not have tried "everything".
If you truly have tried everything, your tab is dead, why did you bother posting here? If anyone can help you, then you clearly have NOT tried everything.

How am I able to do this if my computer will not recognize my tablet? Excuse me if I sound "noobish".
Your computer detects your tab right, hence tab not dead! Trying Apx mode with the combo shall work, it wouldn't display anything on the tab but will be recognized as apx device, manually direct to the nvflash folder for driver installation! Please spare some moment and read the second post of first link.

Well, again - either your tab is dead as a doornail, or you have missed something and not tried everything. Since you haven't specifically listed what you have tried, we can't help you other than shotgunning suggestions which you may or may not have already tried.

How do you know that you didn't miss a thread or a post buried within a thread?
If you want help, list each button combo you have tried. As I have said before, there are two possibilities:
1) You have truly tried everything, your tab is dead, why did you post here? If you really, truly have tried everything you have no hope.
2) You missed something in your research, haven't actually tried everything despite thinking you have, and someone might be able to help you if you specifically list everything you have tried in detail and the results of each try.

Firstly, NEVER, ever, ever, ever use titles like "please help" and nothing else. Its extremely annoying for many people so you have less chance of getting a accurate answer. Use proper titles that describe the topic, titles are supposed to be descriptive, not simply somebody saying "help", that doesn't describe your topic to people browsing sections in any way other then its a n00b panicking about something.
Second, which model/variant do you have?
Which rom did you try and install?
Which guide did you use?
What EXACTLY did you do?
You need to provide more info if you expect answers/help.
At this moment people can only tell you to enter download mode and flash back to stock via odin.
If you don't know what download mode or odin is then you simply should not have been flashing your device as you obviously haven't read anything properly.
ok I am sorry and you are right... well i downloaded an ics from a site (can't remember) and i tryed to install ... first 2-3 times i got some fails in odin... then i closed and restarted it and it worked... at last for some mins... it blocked at ''setup conection'' step. after a while i closed the phone and odin and when i tryed to open the phone appeared a phone,a computer and a dot line with an ''!'' mark on it. now if i try to put it into download mode ( vol.down + home+power ) gives me same thing with that image and also with vol.up+home+power so this means i cant do anything with my phone...can't open,can't put it into download mode,and also cant restore to factory settings

This is what you get when you read and use instructions from some random crappy/sites or blogs or you dont read instructions properly, flash wrong files to your phone etc etc.
Remove battery for 10-15 mins and then replace, see if you can get into download or recovery.
If not buy or make a USB Jig and use that to see if you can get into download.
If not you will need to do/get a JTAG repair or send to Samsung and play dumb about what you have done, Just say you was using Kies and it failed or somthing, Hopefully they will repair.

shame really s2 a really good phone lol
You still haven't said which model you have. It's on the label under the battery.
And the pc - ! - phone screen is a forced download mode. You should be able to flash from there as long as your computer detects the phone from Odin.

Work on reading instructions (and in general, really... You PMed me despite my signature requesting no tech support PMs) more thoroughly. You were asked multiple times what model phone you have, and never answered. If you had provided that information, someone could have directed you to that guide faster.
And if you successfully used that guide (which implies you have an i9100g, and NOT an i9100), then stick to i9100g firmwares and kernels. If you DO indeed have an i9100g, and flash i9100 firmwares or kernels, you'll end up back in the same boat.

Phone bricked without download mode

Long story short....in my efforts to flash the 10B TOT file, the flash tool got to 94% and started the phone reboot step, but the phone never rebooted thus the flash was a failure. When I tried to re-do the steps to flash the 10B TOT, I found out that I was no longer able to get into download mode. In my computer's device settings, when the phone is connected with a USB it now shows up as Qualcomm HS-USBQloader 9008. I looked up the threads about this problem and started the process of getting this fixed using the BoardDiag tool, but that process fails at the part where I attempt to run the AP and EMMC tests (gives me a message saying "Device was not found in DLOAD trying to install flasher). I have not found any practical fix for this error.
Am I completely screwed now, or is there a step somewhere I'm missing? I've been at this for 5 hours.

Just to make sure I was doing everything right, I installed the Qualcomm drivers with the test mode on for driver signing. My phone, when plugged into the computer, still shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. So it's my understanding that I don't need to do the steps which detail how I would need to break into my phone and use wires and solder. Based on everything I've read, I should be able to use the BoardDiag tool, but it keeps telling me in one fashion or another that it can't connect to the phone. Sometimes it will tell me "Check PMIC first and if still boot problem, replace AP", other times it will give me the same message I was getting originally saying "Device was not found in DLOAD trying to flash programmer".

I've attached a screenshot of what my BoardDiag screen looks like. I extracted the TOT files that the tool created to my bare C: drive because any time I tried to change the directory for the location of those files it would cause the program to crash.

Ok so when you plug in your phone to the computer does it say installing the qualcomm driver or does it just show up as the qualcomm in device manager. I had that when I bricked my phone and had to redo the wire trick. Once I did it the installing qualcomm drivers notice came up and I was able to run the boarddiag with not problem. If all else fails give the wire trick a try. Here's another similar guide that will help too. I turned off driver signing on computer bootup just for reference. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359

The first time I plugged it in after installing the Qualcomm drivers the window popped up to show that the device drivers were being installed and it completed successfully.
I'm trying to reach out to tungkick since I've seen in other threads that he has helped people who have run into the same issues I'm having. I'm hoping he can fix it without me having to crack open my phone.

So the long story is that I was originally running 47A stock with root and TWRP recovery. I was having TERRIBLE battery life and it got to the point where I couldn't take it any more so I decided to flash a CM13 nightly. I was going to test the waters to see if I could use a systemless SuperSU version with CM13 so when I flashed CM13 I also flashed SuperSU 2.68 at the same time. It turns out that's a big no-no. So when I tried to reboot, I got the error message that the secure boot failed, or something to that effect. So after looking at posts on XDA I intended on doing the "revert to 10B from 47A" method with a TOT file and the flash tool. Everything with that was working great...it got to 94% complete and got the point in the process where the phone reboots, but when the phone left download mode it never came back and the flash tool never made a re-connection with the phone to complete the end of the process. From that point on, I could not even load into download mode, thus here I am.

Ok so I used the androidbrick tool in that link you sent me and the process seems to have gone through correctly. After re-installing my battery the phone booted to the LG screen, then showed the little android guy with a progress bar, but that screen didn''t last long before the phone rebooted again and this time after the LG screen I got a screen that said "miniOS" and following that came a blue screen with the words "Factory Reset Status" and a big red number 2. So that's where I'm at now and I'm going to look up info on that to see what I do next. If you have any experience with this step please let me know.

Ok, this is where I was earlier today and when it got to about 94% complete and commanded the phone to reboot, the phone never came back to a state that allowed the flash tool to complete. I've seen some sites talk about having to hold the up volume button at a certain juncture around the time that it failed for me last time. Is there some trick to this?

It did it again! Phone got to 100% on the flash and the tool got to the restart command, but the phone never came back on after leaving the download mode from the reboot command. I even was holding the volume up like another website said when the reboot occurred. I also changed the setting from "Upload DL" to "Board DL" as suggested by others in various threads. The error I'm getting after the tool says it failed is "USB port open FAIL!"

Ok, we are back up and running! I went through all the steps again going all the way back to the androidbrick tool. This time when the phone boot into miniOS mode and was still on that animation, I hit the power button (something I saw on another post) and it took me to the AAT screen. I had seen a thread about this somewhere and followed those steps to have the phone reboot into the setup wizard and we are all good now! WHEW! The only thing that sucks is throughout this whole process I've lost well over 100 photos of my son . Oh well....I saved myself a few hundred bucks. Thanks for all of your help!!

This time when the phone boot into miniOS mode and was still on that animation, I hit the power button (something I saw on another post) and it took me to the AAT screen. I had seen a thread about this somewhere and followed those steps to have the phone reboot into the setup wizard and we are all good now! WHEW! The only thing that sucks is throughout this whole process I've lost well over 100 photos of my son . Oh well....I saved myself a few hundred bucks. Thanks for all of your help!!

I also wanted to add, I use the Mega cloud service app with 50 GB free. I have it configured to automatically back up my pictures and videos whenever I'm connected to WiFi. I save photos and videos to internal storage because it's faster and more reliable than Micro SD cards are.

Bricked Tmobile lg-k7

Hello Everyone,
I have a questions and hopefully some one can help me out here. My son has bricked my phone and I believe it is a soft brick... could be wrong. However, I need to find away too unbrick it.
I can get into hard reset with out issues. however with everything I do, I can't get into recovery what's so ever. The phone just hangs at the loading screen. I have talked to my son in order to find out what he did and this is exactly what he told me
He installed king root and attempted to replace-kinguser-with-supersu. However when he installed the application, it asked to reboot the phone. Well he rebooted the phone and now it is stuck at the loading screen and wont go any further than that. He also told me that he did not remove kingroot prior too the reboot. Please help! as I need my phone for work.
I am out of options on what too do. I would post the guide he used but I am limited due too the spamming regulations of the board.
Any one have an idea on how to unsoft brick this phone? I am all out of options as the only two options I have are hard boot and download mode.

According to the good people here on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/qa-metro-pcs-lg-k7-lgms330-t3331678 there is only a paid solution at the moment.
http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download...330-dll-for-lg-up-unbrick-lg-k330-with-lg-up/
if it is a lg k7 k330 (tmo) i followed this guide http://www.repairshopusa.com/phone/lg-k7-k330-unbrick-method/
Thank you for the information. However the lgup application does not recognize my phone. Indicates that the model is "Unknown"
Guess i am out of luck lol
Not uncommon. Sometimes you need to unplug and replug the device back in or close and reopen the program.
Thank you for the information. Does the USB debugging option need to be enabled because if it does, I don't think it is as the my computer does not recognize my device at all. Under computer, it shows as k7. However when I got into the device manager it indicated "LGE Android MTP device".
No. USB Debugging only works while booted into the system or recovery. You must be in Download Mode for the LG Up tool.
At this time, I am really frustrated as nothing is currently working at this time. Possibly because the phone just went under a hard reset. I have changed the port too 41 and ran the flash tool and that was not able too pick up my phone either. Also, I can't seem to get the lgup to work correctly as it's still not working correctly.
I have uninstalled the applications belonging too lg, rebooted and then reinstalled them and I still get the same thing. I have attached screen shots below. lgup does indicate the firmware I need, however I can't get too it lol
Message me I can fix your phone

If I remember right, you have to make it search for *.kdz otherwise it's looking for .tot files, which is why it's probably not seeing the firmware you need.

Yes you are correct. However the file that I have downloaded from the link below doesn't actually provide you with a kdz file. The file provided you the files that have been extracted from the kdz file, which are the (LGK330.dz) file
Ah, weird. Never worked on an LG that didn't use .tot, .kdz, or .bin files. I guess just search for *.dz and it should load according to the link the other guy put up.

If you lock the bootloader if you have custom recovery (twrp) and superuser you will not be able to boot

Not sure about TMI, use TMO North America
I figured I'd post this here to, because I am thinking about getting this phone. It's $99 at metro pcs right now, that's really hard to pass up.
In a twrp+root thread there are some that cannot get root, with the last LG firmware update, so I'm guessing this is a soft brick as apposed to a hard brick.
So, had a question.
If in the case of the like 10% of the people that do this root, the phone won't root or bricks, if I get this phone and and that happens, is it possible to flash the phone via the LG program, with a KDZ file and go back to stock like in this thread? If so I will probably buy this phone tomorrow (crosses fingers the kdz trick will work)
From looking at the videos, it looks as if the LG program is similar to the Samsung Odin program as far as flashing goes, am I correct in this?

I know this thread has not been active for a while. However I have a Metro LG K20 Plus phone and want to change the firmware to T-Mobile. I have not been successful doing this as I always get invalid firmware, because LG UP recognizes the phone as a metro phone. Is there a way to succeed in getting the T-Mobile firmware on the phone?
thanks in advance.

Did you find any answers to this? I have one that is bricked. It will not show up when connected to a computer at all
Virus warning from Avira in Uppercut
lg k20 plus soft bricked?
So I've searched high and low and have tried suggestion after suggestion with no avail. To start things off, I have a soft bricked LG k20 plus. Everything was working fine until the other day when I went to flash a kernel, and when the phone restarted, the screen was a dark grey/black color. I rooted the devices using massis method, removed SU and then rooted using Magisk. Like I said everything was working fine and for whatever reason I decided to try a different kernel. That's when it all went downhill. So now when I turn the phone on, the screen is still blank but it vibrates. When I've connected it to a computer, on my Mac it doesn't show up with ADB or FASTBOOT but in my device tree it comes up as LGE Android device. I borrowed my friends laptop since it runs windows, and my Mac is a dinosaur. ADB doesn't pick it up either, but in a USB hub it says the same thing, LGE Android device and lower down it comes up as TP-LINK. Now tryin to use LG Flash tools doesn't work, LGUP doesn't see my device, and when I tried to extract the KZD file, when I go to select it from the list there is no file to choose. Since I can't see anything on my screen, I can't tell if I'm in download mode, bootloader, etc, but in my device tree sometimes my phone will pop up an bootloader interface and I can use fastboot commands. When I was last able to see my screen, yes, USB debugging was on, I had a recovery, but since I can't see anything on my screen I can't seem to boot into recovery. If I could I would wipe cache and all. I think I may have read too many article and suggestions as to what to do because nothing seems to be working, and don't seem to find anything else related closely enough to my issue. Anyone have a clue as to where I should start? I'll have to give my friend back her laptop soon, and since my mac is so old, and the whole PC vs Mac feud, my computer won't be of much help. Any advice my hair strands would greatly appreciate before they rest are pulled out lol
