It's been hardbricked for almost a month now. I've looked everywhere on how to unbrick this specific model on XDA but didn't find anything.
I know it's been done for models like the V10, G3, etc.. so I thought there might be some hope from bringing my phone back to life.
I goofed up accidentally installing the wrong ROM for the phone. It had TWRP and all but the phone won't turn on at all.
Does anybody have system dump files for the RS988?

Hello!
When you say that the phone won't turn on at all, do you mean that the LG logo does not appear when you attempt to turn it on? In any case, your phone seems to be recognized by your computer, so download LGUP (with UPPERCUT) and see if they can communicate. You can flash the stock firmware using the .kdz files linked by @autoprime in his All-in-One G5 thread. I believe the firmware made for the RS988 Brightpoint (BPT) variant doesn't have anti-rollback protection, so you'll have the most luck flashing it. Make sure, though, if you go that route, to flash the non-carrier firmware afterwards.

The Logo doesn't appear, after being plugged in to my PC, it just gets a little warm.
As for the LGUP with uppercut, I ran the program and it gives me a message of it saying "no handset connected". It is currently on COM3 in device manager named "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".

Interesting. This reminds me of APX mode from the NVIDIA Tegra devices.
I think there's a Qualcomm-developed firmware flashing tool that can detect the device via the COM3 port. I cannot recall the name, but if you find it, you should give it a try.
I also have same issue flashed wrong Rom showing qualcomm 9008,complete black screen not even showing charging also,no recovery mode no download mode.is there any solution for it.

I don't know if they exist. You need qfil and whatever firmware parts and edl recovery files. Your fire hose programmer for your chipset.
I've read some guys claim sd card method. But I've never done it on this device
Where you ever able to unbrick the phone?
I am currently experiencing the same issue, the best method that would seem to work so far is through QFIL but I can't find the firehose file.
same problem, any help?

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

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.

How's it going man, I need your help I have a ms330 stuck in 9008 mode with an unlocked bootloader. Everything I've tried has failed and I'm stuck. I only owned this phone for 6hrs before I screwed it up any help will be appreciated!!
I tried updating to Marshmallow using the flash tool, but have run into problems. The flash didn't work and my phone won't boot normally or into download mode. I am able to get into recovery mode and have initiated a factory reset. The phone had been on the Verizon screen with the status light flashing green and blue for an hour now.
My question is how long does this process normally take? How long should I let it keep running? The phone is getting pretty hot to the touch.
Shouldn't take more than a minute if that, but not having Download mode I suspect you have a more serious problem than what a factory reset would help with.
What does your phone show up as in Windows' Device Manager in the Port section? LGE... or something else?
After the Boot Mode fails, if I press up on the phone, it is detected as:
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)
If it is hanging on the Verizon boot screen, it shows up as:
LGE Mobile for VZW USB Serial Port (COM4)
Google QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode. You'll find the special instructions to recover, including a different Windows program called BoardDiag and a special driver. You'll need the 10B TOT.
Having trouble doing any of this. I'm not able to find a 10B TOT file that doesn't give me an error when I unzip it, also not passing md5 checks.
My phone is still under warranty, perhaps I should send it in while it still is stuck on the Verizon boot screen? I've never rooted it.

Are you trying to unzip my 10B TOT 7z with a regular zip program or are you using the free 7-Zip, which is different from just regular zip? 7-zip.org is what you need.
Up to you. LG warranty service is awesome, seriously. Just FYI you might get a newer "K" variant VS985 that is impossible to downgrade and root and harder to recover from problems like these on your own than the older variants.
I'm using 7-zip. Figured out my problems and was able to get my phone working with boot mode and eventually loaded the latest KDZ successfully!
The first main clue was that I was getting corrupted zip files from multiple sources. What I originally assumed was a problem with my phone and update methods appears to have actually been a problem with either my ISP or my computer that was causing large (1.5 gigs and up) to be corrupt. I was able to download the files using a different computer on a different connection, bring them over to my main computer, and unzip them without error. They also passed md5 checks.
I believe that what happened was the original KDZ that I downloaded from LG was itself corrupt, which caused all of my issues. I was able to get my phone back into Boot Mode with the 10B TOT files and the willcracker
BoardDiag. After that, I flashed the latest KDZ using the exact same steps that originally soft-bricked my phone, but this time with a KDZ downloaded from your source and verified with a md5 check (which I wasn't able to do when downloading from LG directly).
Everything is working well now and I am very happy with the Marshmallow update.
This just goes to show the importance of md5 checks with this kind of operation. So, download files from sources that provide a md5 checksum value!

Hello everyone, so the other day I put my sim on my v10 just for a change. This v10 is rooted with elimators kernel with twrp.3.0.2. Anyway I had no radio at all. The bars showed but no activity there. I went to about phone and found that all information about the phone identity was gone , imei, service, baseband unknown, etc. I wiped to system and started fresh with lgups and tot. Files re-rooted the phone and to no avail. It still had none of the information avalable . so it thought maybe I was missingoing the baseband so I foolishly flashed one though twrp after it flashed it was light out,, power button nothing, the phone literally went cold, colder then I've ever felt. it. It felt dead for reals.........I did have it show up in device manager with Husb....bla bla... the it went to quamcom..... bla..bla... and now the computer don't see it any longer. Unless it just got sick and tired of me shoving the USB cord in and out of the socket and deactivated the USB port.... I know there is a lot of stuff out there as far as mega bricks, if anyone out there can get me out of this ,it would be awesome... my last brick with this phone was there was no root yet and I almost got though a combination of software .etc... that took me three months to Un brick it.. this brick is even worst because of No sign of life. So I'm open to use this phone as a Guinny pig for some new stuff If anyone out there's got a solution to try...... thanks

Sorry for your brick and if you can get into that Qualcomm USB mode again you may be OK, see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...brick-phone-h901-qualcomm-9008-t3440359/page7
The issue may be due to the anti roll back 'feature' lg gave us, if it finds firmware from a lower version you can brick or could just be a mismatch between radio and bootloader
Neither are good but you may be in luck with tungkick's method
so here is an update date, I am back to my device manger seeing the phone under Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, i have been able to install qualcomm drivers and qualcomm's QPST config program does see the phone on COM port 5, I guess now my hold up is i need the manufactures firmware which im not sure i can get, so again im stuck i guess unless there someone out there with those files

Steps:
1. Turn Off Any Virus Protection Software
2. Download MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash Your Phone Back To Stock
3. Install LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe
4. Next Install LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi
5. Make Sure That You Have Your Phone Connected (Take Battery Out Then Put It Back In Hold Volume Up And Connect With Micro USB) So LGUP Can Be Able To Recognize It
6. Then Double Click UPPERCUT.exe to open up LGUP Now But Only Thing Is That Uppercut will try to verify just ignore and if it doesn't open up just open lgup from desktop and its going to view phone as unknown
7. Unplug Phone But Keep LG Download Mode On And Exit LGUP
8. Open LGUP First And Then Connect Phone Which Should Recognize Phone As MP260
9. Click Upgrade, Make Sure That Bin Is Checked And Select File MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash And Click Start
10. Your Done! Video Coming Soon

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
So, I downloaded the OFFICAL kdz file from the OFFICAL LG website and when the program on my pc reached 100% the bar on my phone was at 99% I waited a minute before unplugging the device, after that It still didn't change screens on my phone so I removed the battery and put it back to find that I can't do anything. If I plug it into my pc it shows "Qualcomm hs-USB qdloader 9008". Any help will be appreciated.
Found out that it wasn't stock it was from MyLG(not related to the official LG)
Nevermind, just forget it. By the time someone reads the thread and posts the phone will be gone. what a damn waste of time.
