How to fix bricked phone? No download mode, only 9008 mode - LG V30 Questions & Answers

The only thing my H933 will do is connect via USB in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 mode..... totally black screen.
Is there anything I can realistically do from here?

This is what I ended up doing. He flashed my phone over to a 998 with his octobox because he didnt have 933 file or something. So now I'm running AS998 firmware on March security update (blah)

I have that posted. He probably got it from me. That's the last AS998 KDZ I can find. The regional carriers must not publicly release KDZ.
You can always Frankenstein to US998 and get more recent updates...

Well what he did was octobox flash it to 998 from Qualcomm mode with a blank chip (that I ****ed up and erased lol) then used LGUP to put AS998 (from a V30+?) so yeah I think I would be safe to just lgup the regular 998 firmware and from there it would be easy to root and put whatever I want. So in the end it worked out pretty well.

Unbrand lg g5

Greetings, I am asking whether there's a way to remove my lg g5 brand (eventually flashing an official rom) without unlocking my bootlocker, since I've read it would irreversibly remove my warranty. Thanks everyone for your eventual answers.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Basically what you need to do is download open Eu v10d kdz (H850) then go to LGUP software, click the bin file and choose the kdz you downloaded. Click the refurbish option and make Sure that the phone plugged in with download mode. To enter download mode, turn off the phone, then hold the volume up button and at the meantime plug in the USB. Once you done that click start and let it do its thing. hope it helped!

Oreo just dropped in Canada. Thoughts?

Hey there guys, so I did as I'm sure many of you do out of habit and checked for an update this morning. Low and behold with zero announcement Oreo is here!!! I couldn't be happier, but am I the only one who noticed it's dated for April 24th?? What're your guys thoughts on that? Did lg hold out on us, or maybe the carrier?
So this is Christmas...

If you have PC access you can go ahead and grab the kdz and flash it with lgup. So long as you're sure your phone is an h873

It shouldn't but backup just in case
It's always better to do a factory reset after a change in Android version, eg. 7.0 to 8.0, so would recommend back up now.. When you change to Oreo, reset afterwards., then restore.

The KDZ will work regardless of your carrier, so long as your device is an H873.
I flashed it on my Koodo H873 last night and it works perfectly. Just be sure to check off upgrade in LGUP so you don't lose any of your data. Open LGUP using Uppercut.
As long as you don't unplug your phone during the upgrade, you will not brick.

Of course!
Assuming you've downloaded the KDZ, the only other steps are getting LGUP and Uppercut. Just google them, you should be able to find them.
Install LGUP (Make sure it is version 1.14) and run Uppercut. It may trigger a virus warning, so you should disable your antivirus temporarily. It is not a virus.
Plug your USB cable into your computer WITHOUT the phone plugged in.
Shut off your device and plug it in while holding the volume up button. It will enter download mode.
Finally, in the LGUP interface, it should show your device model on Standby. Check off "Upgrade" if you do not want to lose your data, or "Refurbish" if you want to factory reset it. In the list at the bottom, select "BIN" and click on the three dot button. It will prompt you to choose your KDZ.
Assuming you did everything right, click on Start. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE WHILE IT IS UPDATING. When the progress bar in LGUP reaches 100% and your phone enters the "Android is Upgrading" screen, you may unplug your device and wait for it to boot.
Voila, you have Oreo! Please PM me if anything goes wrong.
In the future, please look for an existing thread for flashing instructions. I will make an exception here because you are new to flashing, and I know it is confusing.

Problem solved

Nothing to see here. *jedi wave* Move along.

Well i attempted to downgrade from 20k to 10c and well it wouldn't complete the process and crash at about 90%. Lgup gave me a error 0x81000 or something like that. I rebooted my phone but now i have no model info but i still do have download mode. Well thats the only mode i have now. LGup doesnt even detect model. Any suggestions?

Help - Cant Enter Recovery - Bricked?

I think I screwed up and bricked my phone... I had recently updated to 20g and was having some issues with some things (I didnt wipe some data when I did the update). So I then tried to wipe some data (from twrp/recovery) and probably ended up wiping more than I should have. My phone now seems to not want to startup. It just sits with the LG V30ThinQ logo on the screen (I had unlocked my US998 phone and have the latest - 20g .kdz on it). I can get into fastboot mode, but if I run adb devices it will give me a blank list of devices. Though it will act like its connected (computer gives a tone like a device is plugged in). lgup doesnt indicate anything is ever connected either. It seems to let me flash something to recovery, so I tried - Fastboot flash recovery with the latest twrp image and it seemed to work.
Trying the button dance on multiple occasions I cant seem to get into recovery. It will send me to factory data reset. And I have said yes a few times, but it still wont fully boot... and trying to get into recovery doesnt seem to do anything.
I tried reflashing (through fastboot) some of the images (first time system, 2nd time boot) directly out of the 20g kdz file and they seemed to flash even though it never shows any devices... I tried entering recovery and just got back to being able to do a factory data reset (tired again). And it still doesnt get past the LG V30ThinQ logo screen (waited like 10 minutes).
Help?
If you're able to get into Download mode, reflash KDZ.

Thanks for the quick response Chazz. I havent done this before. So I am guessing I use uppercut to flash? Am I good to flash 20G since my bootloader is already unlocked or should I go back to an older version? I can get into download mode and uppercut recognizes the device etc...

Uppercut doesn't work once you're on Oreo. Uninstall it, you'll never use it again.
Use the Dev Patched LGUP attached to post #1 of the US998 KDZ thread.

If you were on US998 20G, and your bootloader is already unlocked, then you do want Oreo.

lg g8x model number has changed after android 11 update

My lg g8x lmg850emw that had android 10 has now tuned into a model lmg850um when the device updated to android 11
i then re installed the android 10 firmware and it goes back to correct model
And even when updating through lg bridge, the model is always wrong when on android 11.
would be amazing if someone can help or knows anything about this issue.
Maybe ill just send the phone back.
Or does something like this not happen naturally haha?
Yes - I have the same issue, flashed to android 11 kdz from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg850emw-firmwares/ now my phone model is UM.
Where did you buy the phone from? I bought it from aliexpress refurbished, the seller must have done something to these phones.
One thing I did notice is that if I flash a different abl file onto it, then it reads correctly as EMW.

I got the ABL from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nlock-and-magisk-root-using-firehose.4221793/
The thing is not to worry even if you F it up - you can always flash the ABL from the KDZ file.
What I'd recommend you do is remember which KDZ you flashed and keep a copy of it.
My frustation was I couldn't get into fastboot mode at all. When I flashed this abl - suddenly flashboot worked (wtf!!!) the next issue was I couldn't get the oem device-id that LG tells you to get - just wasn't working.
In the end I thought what the hell lets just run the unlock bootloader command and voila, bootloader unlocked as simple as that! Rooting it easy once you have fastboot or EDL mode as you dump the ABL file and use magisk to patch it and then reflash back to the phone (both boot_a and boot_b)

I think the only way to do that is to flash a different ABL file into it - however does it really matter? Mine says G850UM but functions fine (dual sim etc).
I'm having a similar issue but I have the US Unlocked variant (G850QM). I can't update the device because it's saying I can't change the model from T-MOBILE. Tried both LG Bridge and LGUP. OTA portion of the phone says no update.
It shows everywhere that it's the QM model. No idea what to do. I purchased it second hand and it was already on Android 11.
Edit: Fixed it, see this thread, I hyperlinked to the start of my post: [Tutorial] Crossflash, Bypass OPID Mismatched Error
