But he needs to be on pre-July 2018 Oreo firmware to unlock bootloader. Just fastboot alone won't help.
Can I flash pre-july 2019 firmware using just fastboot?

Try doing a Master Reset. It's different from factory reset.
Master Reset -- using buttons:
1. Unplug phone and turn it OFF.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons.
3. When the LG logo appears, quickly release the Power button only -- then immediately press Power button again, while STILL pressing the Volume down button until you see the screen to select Yes to erase and reset everything.
4. Release both buttons so you can make your choices.

I've never done it, nor tried.
I`ve done the master reset and it`s the same : 5 blue dots and after that reset.
If I start the phone in normal boot, it shows the LG logo v30+ and then restart
If I push for a long time volume up and insert cable, the blue dots appear on the screen for a while and then restart.
Is v30+ supported by any jtag interfaces?

Hi guys! Yesterday I decided to unlock the bootloader, flash recovery (twrp 2.8.6) and the cyanogen 11 nightly. Everything went good until I tried to install the gapps, I noticed that the physical shortcut to enter in recovery (after the turning off, of course) didn't worked: the phone restarted or boot up the rom, but I was able to enter in recovery from the advanced restart menu from the rom. Going into the info of the phone where it says kernel there was written "unknown" and no way to overclock. So I decided to reinstall the kernel (the cyanogen11extended) from twrp, everything went good except that I couldn't restart into recovery, it stuck on rebooting until shutdown. So I tought let's use fastboot to erase ad flash the recovery partition and the kernel, but it didn't do anything even if on the cmd said okey and finished in something about a second, but when i tried to enter in recovery I always get stucked on rebooting. So I tought"well if I have the system image I could flash it with fastboot and restore the stock kernel", so I erased the system partition and tried to flash the system.img and I get the message that it is too big for the destination device. Now I don't have a system installed tye hotkeys don't work and I'm stuck on LG screen logo.
There is a solution or do you suggest to send the device in warranty, instead?
Pull the battery and try to enter download mode.
Hi vagelis! You mean without the battery? The hotkey is vol up+power, right?
Edit: i tried without the battery pressing the vol up + power (also tried with vol down + power) and it doesn't work, on the screen I have an image which says to put the battery in, and holding the keys has as only result to reboot the phone showing the image... I guess there's no hope right?
Edit2: I entered download mode using the g2 method, now I have to downoad the kdz rom and the lg flash tool to unbrick, right? But where I can download it since the lg site for the firmware is apparently down?

Ok guys, I was able to unbrick entering in emergency mode e doing the flash tool stuff. The strange thing is that when I start the flash tool putting the file kdz and going forward in the next window, when I click on read phone info the program stops working, if I click directly on stuff then the lg mobile support tool is opened. Now when it starts to write on the phone, the tool says that an error occurred (something like "the server is offline) but on the phone it says the port com and start to download the rom. If I say ok to the error of the lg mobile support tool it stops the firmware update and stops the program, if I don't click ok the firmware update end is work unbricking the phone.
Now I noticed that with the stock rom from the version v10h until the last one towelroot is not working, so I downloaded the v10g germany version (since the italy version was offline) and flashed with the same procedure as I have done with the unbrick, so I could run towelroot and flash the twrp and the cyanogenmod11. Thank you so much for your time!!
The topic is quite old, but I've just solved that problem. You should just do it:
1) hold power and vol down till you see LG logo -- immediately release these buttons and
2) immediately hold power and vol up button to enter into factory reset menu.
Then click "yes" and next "yes", too.
That's all.
I've found a way to boot directly into bootloader/fastboot mode.
Press simultaniously the Vol+ and the power button until the red light lit up. Then instantly leave the two buttons and press the Vol- button until you see the fastboot menu. You're done!!

I see you don't get it. Up to now the only way to get into fastboot was via "adb reboot bootloader". Or from a successfully installed TWRP.
The "for years" known combinations will get you only into Recovery (Power + Vol up), FTM (Power + Vol down), or into EDL respective the useless DFU mode (Power + Vol up + Vol down). In case you've killed your recovery and your bootimg you now have a additional option to come back to a functional system. Especially for the A2017g with the useless DFU mode.
Can anyone with bricked A2017G confirm?

Confirmed NOT WORKING .
It doesn't matter if it's working or not. Thanks for the info anyway.
Neither stock recovery nor fastboot will help if you're stuck in DFU mode for G model. You can't do anything to recover the device in neither mode. All what helps is previously had enabled "allow BL unlock" in developer options. This gives you the possibilty to flash a stock ROM from external SD card. It still needs to be aproved from a bricked "DFU" user!

Would you kindly tell us what is not working? Don't you see the menu? Or don't you know what to do with fastboot?
In case you managed it to get into fastboot the next step would be to get into edl by using this trick. -->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and.../guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292
@tron1, all this does not work. I tried cause I had a bricked (DFU) device. I needed to send it in for repair. And gues: they changed the motherboard.
Even the fastboot_edl results in "remote unknown command". Nearly all commands in fastboot for Axon 7 are disabled bei ZTE.
I will try if it's possible to reboot to edl with the fastboot from the unlock procedure from drakenfx.
forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165
ZTE crippled the loader in a bad ass way. But they left the flash command inside. So it should be possible to flash at least a working recovery to the system if you manage it to get into bootloader. As long as my phone is working I won't try it on it. So volunteers!!
Hint -->
fastboot flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
fastboot erase <partition> erase a flash partition
I there a way recover such a bricked device?
I could only boot into bootloader. If i choose boot recovery the phone only shows a red light.
If i choose start its the same red light.
Or should i contact ZTE for a new phone?

I have bricked my Axon 7 several times this weekend, but new Qualcomm chipsets are unbrickable!!!!
1. There is a way to enter directly to EDL on most Qualcomm devices and works also in the Axon 7. Just ensure your phone is off, then press the three buttons at the same time. The red light will blink once, after that blink release the three buttons (you must be very quick releasing the buttons, otherwise the phone will turn on.
2. Plug your phone to your computer. Windows 10 should detect a new USB device QUSB_BULK without any warning message. Then you can use axon7tool to flash the original boot and recovery (stock or tenfar's signed TWRP).
After that, you will be able to enter into recovery, do a factory reset and then you will be able to restore de initial image from an SD formatted as FAT32 (no, exFAT is not supported by stock recovery) in case of stock recovery. Sideload will not work, always stop before finishing the transmission.
Oki, this is fine for you because you have the US version of the Axon the rest of the axon World is f..ed up with an useless so called DFU mode. Happy Birthday for your Axon.

That did the trick. Thanks
Any idea on why when i tried to enter bootloader mode on my Axon 7 (that i received 1 week ago), it stays on ZTE logo and nothing else happens... What is weirder is that there's a red light and my computer detect it when i do "fastboot devices" but i can't unlock the bootloader...
I tried to downgrade on B02 firmware and nothing... i'm beyond going insane right now.... :-/ It's like ZTE blocked on purpose the access to the bootloader mode...
Hello dear all,
I have managed to brick my LG G5 like an Old Mill Brick.
My LG G5 (lg g5 h850 titan) does not boot. It comes with an error message as follows: Your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and will not boot.
What I already did to Unbrick:
Tried to unlock the OEM. No way from USB Debugging as I cannot go into OS.
Tried unlock the OEM from fastboot (remote: oem unlock is not allowed).
Tried to flash some things like (boot.img, system.img) even adb sideload stuff. Nothing works. I cannot flash anything because (flashing not allowed) because OEM is not unlocked, but cannot unlock the OEM because it is not allowed. WHAT in the brick do I have to do now?
Cause of the brick of the bricks:
The LG G5 was on LineageOS, all stable and solid. When a prompt appeared telling me that I have to update the OS. So I was like yeah ok whatever. BUT, it did from OTA. I also had a specific LineageOS APP for updating the OS. After some minutes (updating) I immediately panic and started worrying. BECAUSE, I knew what time it was (my device is dead). I wanted to turn my phone off but it was already in Recovery (TWRP). So I just hit cancel. BUT after booting up the LG G5 that corrupt device error appeared and I cannot manage to get rid of it.
Please I need your help! I also watched and tried (2+ hours) to manage to solve this via Google and different links and Unbrick guides but nothing happens. I cannot unlock the OEM because it is not allowed. I cannot flash anystuff because the OEM is not unlocked.
Update: So, there is no Recovery System present. No stock Recovery, No TWRP. And I think no OS either. So only thing that is present is the bootloader screen smh.
Can you still get to TWRP?

No If I hold the volume down button and Power and when the LG Logo appears I release the power off and press again nothing happens. It goes again into that error. I can go in bootloader but can't do anything with adb or fastboot.
I think TWRP is gone too :/
You should be able to get into download mode. Hold the volume up button with phone fully powered down. While you hold the volume up button insert the usb cable. Then you can flash the full system kdz with LGUP

What do you mean "stuck in boot". You can hard reset the phone (I don't know the combination for your phone, but mine is hold power button + volume up + volume down, then release and press power button again. Google it up for your phone), and go to TWRP by some other combination of buttons. (TWRP is in FOTA kernel, so make sure you google that correctly and get the right combination of buttons).

My friend was following the WTF V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock and Root and Frankenstein posts. He started using the Magstik to uninstall bloatware then tried applying a OTA update that showed up on the phone it restarted but never went past the Verizon load screen. The phone now no longer boots to where you can use the phone nor stays in download mode to use adb. On one computer sees the device as LGE Android MTP Device on another computer it shows it as that but the device needs troubleshooting. Anyone have any advice to get it back to where I might be able to get it functional again?
Thank you again in advance!

Why would he apply an OTA update when he no longer has full stock firmware? He had TWRP custom recovery!
Yeah, he messed up the phone.
Just to be clear WTF instructions -- that had nothing to do with his actions.
By this point he had successfully completed all those instructions and had flashed back to VS996 firmware.
The WTF Instructions tell you how to update your phone correctly once TWRP custom recovery is installed.
____
Try Master Reset from Frankenstein instructions.
Then if you can get back into Download mode, flash back to Nougat US998 via Partition DL, all partitions.
Master Reset again.
Then Refurbish to US998 Oreo 20h.
Your bootloader will still be unlocked.
Go through WTF INSTRUCTIONS SECTION 6 and re-install TWRP and the three root files again.

Thanks ChazzMatt, however I've tried the Master Reset and it doesn't seem to be doing anything to the phone. It presents the message about Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings. I select "Yes" screen goes black for about 2 to 3 seconds then I get the same message, Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings with Yes already selected. I've selected that or left it alone and the results are the same. Screen flashes LG V30 ThinQ up for a sec then the screen goes black for about 3 seconds then shows the LG V30 ThinQ again before going back to the Verizon logo screen.
Just to confirm: holding vol+ with USB plugged in during a reboot doesn't go to download mode for using LGUP. Also holding vol- with USB plugged in during a reboot doesn't go to fastboot mode for using ADB since you... Sorry, your friend, was running VS996 firmware, correct?
Correct, if I hold Vol+ and plug usb in I get download mode for maybe 2 secs but LGUP and computer doesn't recognize the phone then it begins to boot up the phone. I have the LG Mobile USB drivers installed as well. Vol- doesn't do anything. Yeah I don't know what my friend did but it doesn't seem to be good. I'm not even sure what ROM or version of ROM it has on it because he doesn't remember. All it does currently if I power it on is it sets at the Verizon traveling dots screen.

Find someone with an octoplus box and use 9008 mode to flash a kdz. I think thats your only option unless your friend can return it or warranty it through Verizon.
Then, dont ever ever take an OTA on a modded phone again.
