i don't know what to do can someone help me pleasss i want it back like the beginning without the root pleas (((((
Sorry @Teamsvg,
but with this description no one can help you.
Please explain what you did.
How did you root?
What did you do to make it G3 like?
Did you flash anything?
I can not believe it bricked because of pulling the battery while in recovery, because I did the same when my phone was all stock and nothing wrong happened.

autoirec is onyl for g2.. not mini. becouse we have locked bootloaders custom recoverys doesnt work. something similiar happened to my phone. i can tell you by confedens that first of all it doesnt sound that you are familiar with custom recoverys and stuff and that you have hard bricked your phone. i had to send mine in after 2 days of trying to make it start again. it is broken. and if you take it to service i wouldnt tell them what you did or that you rooted it.
Try this. If you phone is detected under sdb or sdc you have a chance to unbrick your phone.
I attached the files needed to unbrick G2 mini:
sbl1.img
aboot.img
rpm.img
tz.img
recovery.img - download from here.
Be very careful. The order of partitions for our phone is different from the LG G2. So then you use "gdisk -l /dev/sdb" command, find the partitions numbers of each file attached, and use that number in dd command.
I do not know why on tutorial for G2 there is a warning not to flash original recovery.img on recovery partition. So my advice is to flash all partition except recovery.img and see if your phone enter download mode. If not, flash recovery.img, you have nothing to lose.
If the phone enter download mode flash kdz.

i bricked my device and so i got into download mode and connected to lg tools and installed 4.4 kitkat again here is link if you need download tools

If he really erased LAF from his phone he can not get into download mode any more, because LAF is the download mode.
If he was in the situation where he could erase LAF he could have easily rescued his phone by flashing stock images.
Now it will be hard to rescue but there is nothing to loose any more.
You can try to get into fastboot by:
hold vol + button and connect usb cable.
As soon as you see the fastboot screen release all buttons.
Try to connect your phone via fastboot.
Try to flash original aboot + original LAF
Maybe flash original boot + system
or
Go to Download mode and flash original KDZ in emergency mode (CSE).

Thank u zaaap! Unfortunately even when i release all buttons the telephone get into the download mode (that dont exist anymore) and reboot... Im a fool that forget to push the laf stock. Anyway i bought a new motherboard... I think that replacing will solve my problem..
If you connect the phone to USB with a PC, does the PC show anything in explorer or device manager?
If yes, there is still a chance to recover it.
I'm referring to THIS task.
I have not done it before but it could work and you have nothing to loose.
Make sure you get the correct KDZ for your phone from HERE.
Extract the original images with WindowsLGFirmwareExtract
You can find the partition list HERE

Nope man, i only hear the usb plug in/plug out sound of Win7 but nothing in explorer or the lg app on the pc. Its obvious that i have the drivers stock and the others of Android SDK platforms (i used adb and fastboot very uasually when the telephone was funtional).
Anyway thank u all for the help, i had the telephone bricked for the unlocking of the bootloader and i thought that my phone was over, the argument is very difficult to afford on this site and on this device, i sent the telephone at the LG Custom Care and they only told me that the motherboard was over and replace it costs 130€ (im Italian) so i reclined their offer (i have also a Oneplus X) but after some deep research on XDA i made big steps forward and maybe if didnt make the stupid thing of forgot to flash the laf stock, maybe i could be able to rescue my phone. So a big big big Thank to the community of XDA and a infinite f**k to LG Custom Care that they would stole me 130€.
Ps. I bought an LG D620 with the display destroyed for 30€ and ill replace the Motherboard.
Pps. Sorry for my bad English.

OK, sounds good. And what does the devicemanager show?
Is there something like QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB Qloader ?

Wrong thread.
But, if you have a stock ROM, use LG's drivers. If you have a custom ROM, use Google's drivers.
During a flash, the connection to my V30 was interrupted for some reason, probably a worn out USB cable getting knocked into and shifting around in the USB C port. Ever since then, the phone refuses to get past the bootloader or recovery if I hold down the proper keys.
I have used a modded version of LGUP that I originally downloaded to help frankenstein this phone to refurbish, upgrade, even chip erase (this does get rid of the IMEI and other important numbers but since this phone is no longer my daily it's fine if it has no IMEI to me, I'll be honest I'm not sure if chip erase gets rid of any other stuff that should absolutely never be touched). The phone still boots straight to the bootloader. I have also tried flashing custom recoveries (such as TWRP, this has been successful) and installing .zip format roms to the device through the recovery (not successful, still boots straight to bootloader without fail).
So uh... did I manage to brick my V30? Or does it sound like there's at least a bit of hope? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really wanted to use this thing as a sort of glorified iPod because of that magical dac.

You've tried going into download mode manually, use Dev Patched LGUP in Refurbish mode to reinstall US998 20h KDZ?

I've entered DL mode manually and I'm using the dev patched version of LGUP. I haven't tried that particular KDZ though, I could give it a shot for the hell of it. Anyways thanks.
Also, would using Qualcomm download mode work? I'm fine with opening up the phone to trigger the contacts, I just don't know if I'll be able to do any good once in that mode.

What happens when you use ADB/fastboot commands to get to bootloader? It never finishes booting?

First, you don't need to open the phone to enter QDLoader / EDL / 9008 mode:
With the phone connected to a PC (you don't need any special software loaded, just the USB connection), and with the phone powered on and unlocked, hold vol +, vol -, and power to shutdown the phone. Keep holding them till you get a countdown on the screen. The second the countdown completes, and the screen shuts off, let go of power, keep holding vol -, and start tapping the crap out of vol +.
If you have problems getting into recovery using the key combo, this is at least 5x as hard to get it right. When you do, the screen will be blank and the phone will show up in your OS as 9008. Example in Linux:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 015: ID 05c6:[B]9008[/B] Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem ([B]QDL mode[/B])
To exit 9008 if you decide not to flash anything, just press and hold vol - and power until the phone reboots.
Now, with that said, you still need the firehose. I haven't looked for it yet because I haven't needed it, but there is a V30 (all models except the H932) firehose out there somewhere. Also, of course, you need QFIL.
Now will this help -- as long as there isn't a hardware problem with your phone, you can do anything you want in QDL mode with the understanding that signatures are still checked, so you can only flash V30 (non-H932) firmware. If flashing a KDZ doesn't fix your problem, you must have a problem with a partition that doesn't get flashed from a KDZ. Unfortunately, if you don't know which one, it will be trial and error and you will need a complete dump of a V30 minus EFS.

Pretty much. Fastboot behaves normally and it does reboot with the fastboot reboot command but it just ends up right back at the bootloader unless I use the key combos required to get into LGUP DL mode/recovery.
That's great info Brian. Always thought opening phone, disconnecting battery ribbon, and shorting test points are only way to force qdl 9008 mode. Thanks for this info :good:
I don't know if anyone else has posted anything similar, if they have, please point me in the direction of their thread and I will piggyback off of it. I have a LG G Vista VS880 that I rooted with Kingroot. My next step was to nuke the LAF, go into fast boot and use fastboot oem unllock to unlock the bootloader so I could install custom recovery. I got as far as nuking the LAF when I had to stop and fix dinner for the kids. When I got back to the computer I forgot that I hadn't unlocked the bootloader yet and flashed the custom recovery and a magisk patched boot.img using flashify. Now it will not boot into system or recovery. I can get it to boot into fastboot mode by holding the volume up button while plugging it in but all my fastboot commands are locked. I have searched the forums and have found nothing except some info on getting into QHUSB mode by shorting out the test point but that post was for the G3 and when I took off the back plate the configuration was different and I didnt want to mees my phone up any worse than I already had. I just want to get back to stock and start over. Can someone please help or at least point me in the right direction?!?!?!? I would welcome any assistance!
I was trying to flash lg-k350n with LineageOs and make a whole bunch of idiotic deeds, so currently I'm felling like dying is the best option for me.
1. I've used this tutorial: .getdroidtips.com/install-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery. It clearly says that this ROM is for Android 8.0 Oreo, while mine is Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Nevertheless I've downloaded ROM lineage-15.0-20170913-Unofficial-MT6735-64-bit.zip. For some reason TWRP mentioned here getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-15-lg-k8-8-0-oreo/ did not wok for me but I've googled a bit and found something called TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img which worked (not by fastboot flash TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img since this TWRP appeared to be to big but simply by fastboot boot TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img).
So I just did:i
turn on debugger
turn off oem lock
adb boot bootloader
fastboot boot TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img
Feeling happy that TWRP loaded nicely I had not done any backjup and just wiped system as suggested here: lineageos.org/devices/h990/install. Then I've tried to installl the Android 8..0. ROM with obviously did not work. And I've got left with a TWRP working and then I've put the last needle in my coffin - I've rebooted hoping that some hard reset or recovery will fix things for me.
So now I have a phone which I'm able to put to recovery, but it does not recover anything. The phone just go dead after such a recovery.
I cannot put it into fastboot mode, if I could, I would just run 'fastboot boot TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img' and at least had a chance to google a bit for maybe a vanilla ROM or anything working, which I could've later installer.
I've seen that there is a way to put the phone into download mode when it will download stuff from S/W "LG Bridge", bu I don't have Windows and haven't yet tried in virtualbox.
Is there any way to unbrick the device? Please help an idiot!
Sorry, you have to find a Windows box I'm afraid, LG is only offering Windows software for flashing. But chances are quite good that you are able to revive the telephone that way. I have bricked my phone as well but was able to unbrick it this way:
Go to www.lg.com, choose your language, select download, software and firmware.
Select smartphone, Android smartphones, K-series and your model number. This is only to come to the download site of LG Bridge, I guess it's not really important to choose the precise model!
Download LG Bridge, install and start it.
Let it update itself and the USB drivers and keep the software running.
Switch off the phone, press Volume up and keep holding that button.
Connect the phone with via USB with the PC while still pressing Volume Up. The phone should be recognized by the PC (install USB driver) and by LG Bridge (watch the status line to the left, it should show the phone type and USB)
The phone should automatically switch on and show a download screen (yippee!)
Select the second tab "software update" and then click on "correct update error" in the lower right. It should automatically download the correct firmware from the internet, so this is rather fool proof!
Click through it and this should start the flashing process, at the end the phone will automatically reboot, ask for the PIN, etc.
Unbricked!!!
Above instruction worked for me on a completely demolished phone. Lineage OS, changed FS, root attempted, I almost though that's it, but no, it recovered, thumbs up.
I haven't tried in Virtual Box, so I cannot tell if this is working. But you've got nothing to loose, right, so why not try it?

your phone cannot be trusted loooooop, cannot goto download and fastboot mode...
If you don't manage to enter download mode you have probably indeed bricked the phone. If what I've written above doesn't work for you I know of no other way to resurrect it, sorry.
This is because you cannot burn TWRP to the Flash plus there's no tool available to bootstrap an LG phone with a completely naked or corrupted Flash. There must be something like that, because a freshly manufactured phone has by definition a naked Flash.
With Samsung phones you have Odin and with it it is possible to burn a software to a completely dead phone. So it is almost impossible to hard brick it. With LG unfortunately it is different. Plus this phone is somehow crippled, it has only a very, very limited amount of Flash. So I would recommend to not care for this phone anymore, it's not worth it, and instead get a current one with a decent amount of memory.
