I tried updating my LGv30+ US998 following the instructions from this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/v30-us998-wont-update-to-oreo-t3831951
I put my phone in download mode and opened LGUP on my PC with my phone connected, but LGUP says it cant load the model. My phone is stuck in 0% and I can't abort. It says to do not unplug until the process is complete.
What do I do, since the phone can't update?
You can unplug the phone, because it's not actually updating anything yet.
When using LGUP, you need to follow the directions - the software must be installed in the Program Files location where the drivers are located - that's where it gets the model info from. On my machine I had to install the LGUP files into the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP (that's where my LG drivers were installed... you need to install those first.
Not sure if you also have to be in developer mode or not when using LGUP.

You don't... you're in "download mode" which precludes all OS settings. Basically, you're reinstalling the software from scratch, regardless of what's there already.
If I remember correctly, mine would give me the same error if I used "Upgrade" instead of "DL Partition" when installing. Once I used "DL Partition" and selected all files on the next screen, it worked.

Good recovery was putting a optimus Lg one of the traditional way to copy some files to the SD and then open the mobile terminal and enter some commands, when he was on the last line error I came out there was not enough memory and I gave restart, well and stay there every time I get the following message I turn
fastboot mode started
udc_start ()
hopefully could guide me in resolving this problem
pardon my English but it is google translator
Ok, well, I don't know much about this, but once I figured out that in the SDK folder, together with ADB there is a tool called fastboot
So, open cmd.exe and type cd <path to your fastboot.exe folder>
Now on, if you type fastboot you will get a list of available commands.
The fact that your phone starts with that message should mean that your recovery (and boot aswell) cannot start. So, you should install a boot from fastboot tool (I GUESS, as I never had the chance to try it).
Another chance (which is lot easier) should be to use KDZ Update. So, search on XDA or Google for the KDZ tool and a .kdz update file for froyo 2.2.x
Then, connect your phone to the USB and disable LG modem from your control panel.
Open KDZ and select "3GQCT" as Type and "DIAG" as phonemode. Then select your .kdz file and start. The program will detect your phone and install the system + boot. It should work. If it doesn't, do it again with EMERGENCY as phonemode.
Just one recommendation, if the update fails, DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE AND DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR BATTERY or there will be a real chance to brick the phone.
Hope this helps, the second way worked for me, even if after a day i bricked my phone lol
EDIT: ciaox just made a VERY useful guide that you should follow to fix your phone. Click on this LINK
KDZ and off using the modem option LG: I
Computer> Manage> Device Manager> Disable modem lg
then start the KDZ in the two options you listed and I get the
following message:
12:54:10: Launching SW update
12:54:10: Unpacking KDZ
12:54:22: KDZ extracellular file
12:54:29: Files Were extracted.
12:54:29: LGMobileDL Load.
12:54:29: Port = -1
12:54:29: Connecting to phone
12:54:30: PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
12:54:32: FINISHED === ===
I forgot to tell you that you must install msxml.msi (it comes together with KDZ updater).. if it still does not work, try to shake the phone, sometimes it helps.
Though, it would be better if you follow the guide provided!
Hey folks,
its bricked due to FOTA (I think it stands for: firmware over the air) update. This means the phone downloads a firmware update without computer connection or further PC-Software. Alas it didn't work.
Situation:
Phone starts, displays LG Logo and after that an 'updating firmware' screen for about 1 sec before rebooting and doing it all over again.
What I tried to solve this:
set up a new Win 7 32 bit machine to try to unbrick it. (drivers didn't work correctly on 64 bit) at least the MCCI driver update didn't)
connected the phone with the PC in Emergency Mode (holding VOL_UP + VOL_DOWN + PWR while USB is connected)
downloaded B2CApp (LGSupport Tool) and installed the device drivers for Emergency mode.
disabled the Android(Modem) dirver
downloaded V10D_00.kdz from LG home page
using the phones IMEI and this link:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI_NUMBER_GOES_HERE
This gave me this link
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGE720/ADEUBK/V10d_00/V10D_00.kdz
I'm German so this seems all right, but I'm no expert
installed msxml
ran KDZ_FW_UPD_EN and tried CDMA in CS_EMERGENCY Mode
A bunch of magic happend until the phone restarts during the process and is right back where we started, if I put it back to Emergency Mode while KDZ_FW_UPD_EN is still running the process finishes, but to no avail.
The log of this try is attached.
Where I am stuck now:
phone:
runs in Emergency Mode
is recognized by KDZ_FW_UPD_EN as well es LG Support Tool
Flashing via KDZ_FW_UPD_EN finishes
Flashing yields no result.
What else did I try
download V10C_00.kdz, as well as V10A_00.kdz from LG site and tried those with same result as with V10D_00.kdz
tried 3GQCT Type instead of CDMA
Wild guesses by me:
I need a different KDZ_FW_UPD_EN version, maybe different dll. I got it from here somewhre in a LG P500 related topic.
I messed up the driver install or need a different driver
LG hates me personally and planted this whole brick specifically to get to me.
The device really is permanently bricked, so I did all I could and there is nothing more to do? That would be sad, I hope I'm wrong here.
Additional Info:
The phone is not rooted and has never before been flashed. It ran with the same stock firmware since it was unwrapped.
The phone was not interrupted by power-loss during FOTA update.
The [read phone information] tool from KDZ_FW_UDP_EN crashes every time, maybe this tells somebody where things go wrong
Any help is appreciated. Ask for more info, if you need it.
Update - What else did I try:
I got the LG Support Tool to flash the Emergency Recovery all by itself runs till 99% --> reboots --> still stuck in same ol' bootloop
reentering Emergency Mode from the bootloop makes the Emergency Recovery finish with 100%, no error, but still bricked.
Regards

I'd appreciate any help.
I tried downgrading the android version from 20a to 10a, and it failed. Afterwards, whenever I try to turn on the phone, it goes straight to the firmware update screen. Code on the bottom is 633a b50.
When I try to reflash a kdz (either 20a or 20c) in LG Flash Tool, it fails after 4%, saying "0x2000, h83020a00.dz file does NOT support."
LG Up says the kdz is invalid.
LG Bridge doesn't recognize the phone.
Uppercut doesn't work on the computer (is it because it's Windows 10?).
Is there anything I can do? I've tried searching but can't find a solution that's working for me.
(edit: it's the h830 model from tmobile)
Thanks
What model of the lg g5 do you have?
Sorry about that, I thought i put it in. H830
First of all you have to make sure your installing LGUP correctly including the dll file, but make sure to install the dll file before lgup. UPPERCUT is detected by my computer as a virus, so you may have to disable your antivirus and make sure your phone is connected in download mode to your computer when you launch uppercut. Click upgrade and selected the appropriate kdz file.
*enter download mode by plugging in your phone while its off with the volume up bottom held.*/and the usb is in your computer
Thanks. I just tried all that - uninstalled the dll and LGUP then reinstalled them, connected my phone in download mode (though it still went straight to that firmware update screen with the same code) - but I still got the "this app can't run on your PC" alert when I tried Uppercut :/

First of all what PC do you have and what operating system is it on. Also can u boot into fastboot? If so flash twrp and try to flash a nougat kdz from twrp. If you can't boot into twrp, try flashing the kdz of the update you was trying to remove or alternatively try this method posted by this guy on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg5/comments/4xrg4w/lgg5_is_stuck_in_firmware_update_purgatory/
It's a Dell. The OS is Windows 10 Pro.
I can boot into fastboot, but when I tried to unlock the bootloader, the computer said waiting for device. I tried uninstalling/deleting the drivers from the registry, rebooting, then reinstalling them, but that didn't help. So I was never able to root the phone and flash twrp.
I tried to reset the phone. I managed to get to the reset screen after a few tries, but after agreeing to the reset, it goes back to the firmware update screen.
I tried the trick from reddit a few times, but that didn't work. Took me to the firmware update screen

I think you can fix waiting for device by flashing the unlock.bin file again by fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin or try fastboot unlock oem
The minimal adb and fastboot isn't recognizing anything. On the phone it looks like I'm in fastboot when I pressed volume down after plugging it into my comp, but it's not being recognized. So I guess I can't enter fastboot after all
Hi all
I wanted to follow up that I fixed the issue.
I discovered that the exe file for Uppercut was 0 bytes.
I re-downloaded the Uppercut zip file and unzipped it again, then realized that Avast kept putting the exe in the virus chest, which is why the file was missing. It had like 5 copies of the Uppercut.exe in the chest, so it isolated the file every time I unzipped the folder.
I disabled Avast, unzipped Uppercut again, and saw the exe had the boxing glove icon and is 4.07 mb.
I plugged in the phone, booted up Uppercut, and LG UP started. I added the kdz.
I forget if I did "update" or "refurbish" in LG UP (I used the second one from the left, since the furthest option didn't work), then it loaded and restarted the phone.
Thanks for everyone's help. I appreciate all the effort put into giving advice and developing the software.
I followed the lafsploit to a tee and everything went great until using LGUP to flash H932 10d KDZ. As the instructions indicate i selected all partitions etc laf. It went through without seeming to have any issue at all. When however it went to reboot it was a hard brick. Nothing. The only life i can tell is that when i plug in the phone to the computer i can here the chirp of it finding the device. I've tried every combination of keyholds to and some cause the noise of it rebooting and recoming on line. But nothing on the screen.
This is literally the first day i've had this and the first thing i did....i'm almost in tears.
You were supposed to flash the entire 10d kdz when down grading, correct?
And the reason you are asking for help here, versus the actual lafsploit thread is because....?

I was following these steps word by word by Brian to root and put twrp
"Make sure you are on version 10d. Again, check in Software Info / Software Version if you are unsure.
Boot to download mode
In LG UP, choose partition DL.
Pick the H933 10h KDZ
Click start
You will be given a list of partitions to flash, ONLY check laf
Click start
You will get a warning about additional modified partitions (cache, OP, userdata) -- ignore it, and click OK.
Click OK and it will start flashing.
Once the flash completes, your phone will reboot into the OS. Just power off, and go back into download mode.
Choose partition DL again, and this time pick the H932 10d KDZ.
Select all partitions except laf. If you forget to uncheck laf, you will have to do this all over again."
When it completes, it will reboot your phone.
it did reboot but in black screen
adb doesnt find any device listed either I have LG V30 H932 for tmobile
When I press and hold power and volume up or volume down after 20 to 30 sec it make sound like its connected to PC, I never had LG before this is the first LG I owned and its already bricked
I restarted the PC it came under device manager Com372 Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

Put Verizon, Sprint MB in it, since it's much easier to fix/root those. Internally, they are the same.
Hi everyone, I bought this phone working from second hand but the seller told me he tried to unlock the bootloader without success and the phone still loose the fingerprint sensor, so I decided to unlock the bootloader successfully following THIS thread and made a downgrade to Android 9 according to THIS other tutorial hopping to get it work again but I wasn't able to do it, so I decided to just use LGUP to install the same Android 12 that I had but the problem started at this point because once the KDZ was installed successfully, the deviced got a bootloop but I still was able to get into EDL, Fastboot and Download Mode, so I tried the steps from THIS other thread to unbrick it but it got even worse at this point, I flashed all the abl, xbl, etc. partitions and the "rawprograme files" via QFIL and then the phone won't even gave any life signals. I contacted someone that some months ago had the same problem and he told me that I could get into EDL by short pining the test point on the motherboard, which actually worked, so I extracted the KDZ Android 9 rom that I flashed in the first place to get the original abl, xbl, etc. partitions that I crossflashed from a v50 (Which I downloaded from the corresponding thread for unbrick), in other words I flashed the same partitions with the correct v50s files instead other model ones. So now this is where I'm right now, the phone don't turns on at all but when I connect it to the PC it gets recognized as LGE Android Platform USB Serial Port (COM11) and the buttons combinations don't work at all, so still can't get into Download mode by any method or even turn off the device, but I still can disconnect the battery and short pin the Qualcomm 9008 mode to use QFIL.
Would someone please be so kind of telling me how could I recover the Download Mode to use the COM4 and COM5 ports to flash the phone via LGUP?. According to THIS other thread, I could get the correct XML "rawprograme files" for my device (which I crossflashed with the v50) from a KDZ using some tools and Python, but I have to be honest: I DON'T KNOW HOW, even with the step by step tutorial.
At this point I think this would be the right step, to flash all the original files for my model and get the Download Mode back to be able to flash the KDZ rom via LGUP and update via OTA to Android 12 again to avoid the bootloop problem.

Thanks for replying, but I have some questions:
1. The abl file you mean is the engineering one? And...
2. Would you be so kind of telling me how to flash via QFIL? I've seen that it's possible but as far as I know, I need a specific type of rom files to do it, and I don't know how to convert a KDZ or where to download a QFIL ROM.
Thanks!

yes, engineering one mentioned here （THIS）
QFIL>Tools > Partition Manager
read abl_a and abl_b to backup then load abl engineering file to both
basically the same steps up to the following:
"Go back to Partition Manager and right click on abl_a again then select Manage Partition Data, then Select Load and choose the abl engineering file.
Do the same for abl_b."
then try download mode

Hello again, already tried flashing the engineering abl but I still can't get into download mode. The phone keeps off the whole time and by plugging in the USB cable, no matter what button combination, the PC always recognizes it as the same LGE Android Patform USB Serial Port (COM11), the only other state of the device is the Qualcomm 9008 by pinning the motherboard. This specific COM11 state never was able to flash anything by PC, I don't know what actual mode is, but when I was able to set the devide in Download Mode the PC always showed 2 devices in the Device Manager, the COM5 and the COM4, that way I knew I was able to use the LGUP to flash. I'm thinking that I'm not setting the phone on the correct state to flash by any method, but since the buttons seems not to work, I don't know how could I do it.
While on this mode "LGE Android Patform USB Serial Port (COM11)", try to hold both power and vol- for some seconds until the "LGE Android Patform USB Serial Port (COM11)" disappear from your PC device manager and immediately release both and now hold vol+ button to get into download mode.
You can do it while on the 9008 mode too though.
Maybe that can help.
I have LUNs backup for v50s but I can't upload it due to my internet plan quota limit.

Thanks, I'll try that for sure to see if I can get into the Download Mode or something. I would appreciate so much if you could share your backup, since I think I could restore the whole firmware with it, but I don't have any experience on the "LUNs" tho. I'm any case, I don't have too much time every week to give it a try, so I hope tomorrow I could test the combo you say.
