Hi
I just got a third LMX210 today to add to my collection. Lol really im just trying to solve a problem. I bought a ulma to replace cm and i came across a ulm model and decided to just replace my cm today. The problem is that all three of these phone which normally have easily unlockable bootloaders will not boot into fastboot. The fortune 2 will not even boot into recovery. They all will boot into a blank screen with the android robot and will boot into download mode.
The natural solution would be to install an older or even plain stock firmware. But say you dont have a windows 10 or Mac computer. I havent found a way to flash lg firmware using a linux distribution yet.
On the other phones i tried removing the laff partition to force the phone into fastboot by plugging into pc while holding the volume up button. This did nothing but repeat the logo until the button released.
Yes usb debugging was enabled and adb was used to try these procedures. The drones at lg know nothing and ask to send the phones in for repair.
Short of re-installing the stock firmware there has to be way to get past this. And to tell you the truth i dont have a way to flash the stock firmware so i dont even know if that will work.
Ok guys got any ideas?
Update.
Ok spent 4 hours on a windows pc today trying to flash firmware and install qcom drivers thinking the download errors were due to the drivers. Then at the last moments went to Tecknights page and downloaded and installed the lgup dual mode program.
So the bastitches of higher android office decided to screw everyone out of bootloader unlocking. The ARB numbers have recently (like in the past 3 months) been changed to 003. Meaning you cannot flash firmware with an ARB number lower than 003.
But that doesnt stop us completely. Two ideas initially popped into my head. Hex edit the .kdz so that the ARB number matches the phone. Or lol split the .kdz into its seperate partition images then wipe the partitions and use qdl or lgup to repair the now bricked phone. No device data no ARB no problem.
Im hoping the former works over the latter but ill keep you informed.
But really guys thats extreme and i cant see too many folks going through the wipe process to enable fastboot. So we have to find an easier way.
Is there any way to know what partition the ARB protection resides in? If those parts could be wiped im thinking it might fool the flashtool into thinking that there isnt any protection.
one of your devices is MTK isn't it? can't you use SP Flash Tool like for other Mediatek devices? you should be able to flash images to emmc_user with locked bootloader, for example boot, recovery, system, ... all you need is a correct scatter file (which you could create with WwR MTK)
So your saying finish porting my recovery and use sp flash tools to install it. See i have been curious about that procedure and how not having an unlocked bootloader would effect flAshing from recovery. I was thinking brick. But its worth a try if it wont brick and i get full Root with magisk. Ty
Btw when i was porting my recovery i ran into a rather large well too large problem. When i went repack using abdroid image studio which i have used in the past with out problem, it would not shrink the image back down even though i was only trading a few files. How do i fix that
start with readback boot / recovery. then try to unpack, so you will know the scatter is right (at least, for this partitions) or compare files with your already existing backup files
no problems here with unpacking/ repacking with AIK
IDEA:::: ok so for the Qcom boards i have a solution possibly. I know that the older software versions have working fastboot and recovery going and can be boot loader unlocked. That tells me that a fota uodate is screwing things up.
PROBLEM:::: ARB my fortune 2 will not let me install at all anything before ARB3.
ARB_location:::: bootloader
Solution:::: download and extract the stock .kdz for device with working features. Wipe parts bootloader and laf using qpst and reinstall. Solves two problems in one go. Allows fastboot and and bootloader unlock and future re-install of stock firmware
may work but remember your bootloader is locked and you need to by-pass this via testpoint (or at least previously enabled oem unlocking and don't lost these setting) otherwise sahara will fail
well it was an idea. I just did some fact checking and also looked at the files dumped from the .dz dump of the fortune 2 stock rom. PBL or primary bootloader cannot be removed or flashed according to a thread it is a pernanent installation.
But upon more reading i can flash my recovery and boot.img using qfil in qpst along witn every thing else. But i need to know wether qfil reads ARB info and if so where i can find it in the firmware so i dont flash that img but instead pull it from phone as is.
i would really like to know what the twitterpating deal is with these LMX210 phones. ok when i firsr got my fortune 2 i bought it for two reasons the rootability of the device and the fact that tje msm8937 board came pre-installed with otg software by default which in my eyes meant no more freaking computer to use adb.
Well it is all there the drivers the software. but guess what. it doesnt work. i have no idea whats stopping it all from working but even lsusb doesnt bring a twitch or hint of reading any thing over the usb.
does any one know how to fix this
Yo. There is definitely ways to flash on linux using virtual machines, wine etc to run windows apps but you got ahold of a windows box to use. IF it is in EDL mode (Qualcomm mode with a driver saying 9008 in it..) then there is still faith you can revive it. You will need the firmware dumped from someone then youll need to run a program creating XML files for the phones firmware parition files. Youll next need a firehose which is what they call the programmers for EDL that send through the commands and firmware in a low low level that these programs like LGUP just do not do yet (don't know why..... Im waiting for someone to program the LGUP dev version with an EDL mode using emmcdl along with a way to create XML files too. Who knows maybe it will happen if we bring it up enough. The hardest problem youll have is getting a proper emmc programmer for the phone. I can source a lot so if teknight doesnt have something to help with EDL just get ahold of me and ill see what I have and send you some stuff.
Man i have been trying to unbrick the LMX-210 CV1 devices since last year. Tek has nothing but supports the work in hope of finding a solution. I have a ton of fire hoses and saharas all of which have cost me nothing but frustration. I have almost every qpst made and have tried them all with my firehose and saharas. Thr only thing i havent done is pull the mbns off my phones and try them. Trust me system dumps are crap.
The only sign of life i came by was flashing an sd card with the gpt and then flashing each partition manually using ubuntu. In return i got the battery logo but thats it.
Would love to figure it out though
By the way I have been compiling kernels. I call it the jokerfish kernel. Its packed full of drivers and debugging features plus gpu idlers boosters and all those crazy fishy thIngs. Its got governors and wire guard. Otg support. Io schedulars and overclocks. Cpu hotplugging and fast charge.
Now i cant figure out how to get fast charge to work but its set up for msm-otg phy-msm-otg qpnp-smbcharger and smb135x.
All that and not a single panic to reboot in over a week and 1/2 which is how long its been compiled. I used tweaks from the dragonheart kernel source and ported them over and did a lil c++ magic.
It has kcal too but n0 app supports it. All kinds of media and sound codecs as well. You think it would be slow but my compiling and coding skills are as mad as me. Hahahaha.'
But dont Take my word for as the gentle over there on your couch. See that smile? Hes as happy as fish in a pond.
Just remember Duhjoker is in no way responsible for bricked devices so try it at the risk to yourself.
This particular fishy thingy works for msm8917 cv1 devices like aristo 2 and k8+ which have been tested by the madman himself.
If you like you could thank me but the permanent smiles on your faces will be just as loved.
lol so fast_charge is working on the kernel but you have to add a custom tunable to a kernel app to get it going. Just add the path
/sys/class/power_supply/usb/uevent
Then you will get a choice of values to manipulate

Hi guys,
Wondering if anyone here has the know how to help.
Im fiddling with some new Kobo arcs, the 7HD and the 10HD and im having some bother with installing a custom recovery img.
For simplicity sake im going to refer to them as the same device as they are both behaving the same way
The device is rooted, and I am able to flash a custom recovery made by Jenkins builder but its not functional, when you boot to the recovery OS it just goes black and the back light flashes on an off (screen remains black it just lightens up)
At this point I can reboot as normal and adb to it and flash the original recovery img and all is well.
As far as I can tell its bootloader is unlocked but there might be a second bootloader im not able to interact with yet, possible called uboot?
From adb I am able to reboot the device in to bootloader and fastboot and both function as id expect, but the problem im having is booting directly to fastboot in case I bugger something up which would allow me to fix it.
I can boot the device in to a "mode" that tries to install an APX device, ive tried using various adb, fastboot, and composite drivers and nothing seems to work, ive downloaded some old NVidia APX tegra 2 drivers ive found but these fail to work with the NVFlash utility that comes with it, it says unknown device found, which would make sense given the utility is at least 3 years old
So firstly,
Does anyone know what might course the customer recovery rom to fail and yet flash like it is doing, if so any suggestions where to start to look for a solution?
Secondly,
Does anyone know much about this APX mode and how to actually put it to good use the driver appears to work and communicate but im needing something desktop wise to talk to it...?
hope you guys can help
edit
ive answered some of question 2 myself, it appears its a pain in the arse by all accounts and not as user friendly as I was hoping, I can send commands to it but it appears that commands may need to be "signed" of sorts as I don't get any response other than acknowledgment of the command sent, ill monitor the USB traffic and see if that sheds some light, it also appears that NVflash (not to be confused with its cousin in the GPU arena) is also hopelessly out of date and once again Linux is needed to get something more updated, if there is ANY help at all id appreciate some input

I know this is old, but how did you flash the original recovery? I think I need to do this so that I can install the update ZIP for the Kobo 10. CWM is failing to install the file.
This post was closed and i was told to ask it here. I posted it in the wrong area and im sorry about that.
I really need some serious help and advice. Could anybody who is experienced it this filed please help me, or even put me in the right direction.
I am stuck in the qualcomm download mode with my device as QHSUSB_Dloader9008.
Yes it is a hard brick and 99% of the google searches have just confused me.
So here is the story.
I was developing for the Lg Vista D631, and trying to port a rom from the v10lte tablet due to the exact same architecture. The only main difference was the screen size.
Anyhow i was using fastboot to mess arount with the LG Security Error but nothing worked.
I didnt find out that much. So i just flashed back stock and then restored from cwm.
Well i went back to fastboot to try some more and i typed fastboot erase aboot, all went well. Then as i was in the middle of typing fastboot flash aboot my dang phone battery fell out my phone. And this is what i recieved... It Took it off my cmd prompt screen, i now have a nice crack in the screen, and a wonderful bricked phone....
It read up as Android Net USB, and it also came up as a removable disk with 64mb free on it. so i looked and i looked for something just to flash the aboot partiton back to the phone. But nothing came up. I even tried win32 imager.
I googled jtag and read that there are test points which would i could short to reset the devices bootloader to the wualcomm safe bootloader to flash the emmc chip and partition table back to stock. Which would thus repair the partition and open up recovery and or download mode.
I attempted to trace the circut to find out what point to short' and yea i even tried a few which only reset the phone. So i said screw it and formatted the removable disk....... And bam my pc detected a new device and installed the qhsusb dload9008 driver.
So now im in qpst fail safe download mode, i have it set to com41, and qpst detects it too.
And now th issue and question at hand.. I need the files to flash an msm8296. As the mbn, hex, and what nots are all not working with me. Do
When i try to use eMMC downloader I just kept getting the same response from qpst 4.0.2.
"Download failed could not communicate with flash programmer"
then in software download i keep recieving that the hex file is invalid, and could not detect the hex scrambling method. The file is invalid.
I have the lg d631 and have many unofficial kdz files i compiled. I could use the vs88010b for any other ones needed too. As i found out which ones are compatible through my testing phase.
When thia gets fixed though, the development for this phone will skyrocket, as anything will be possible.
So i am stuck. I messed up. And need to fix my mistake.
These tablets were sold with certain Vizio TVs in mid-2016 into 2017, primarily used for Smartcast to the TV.
They are now obsolete since Vizio released firmware for their TVs turning them into normal Smart TVs, requiring the owners of these TVs to get new remotes and the tablets stopped being useful for this function.
Here in 2019, one can buy these tablets, at the low price end, in working condition, for $25 (for the M series) to $40 (for the P series) shipped.
The specs are as follows:
XR6M10:
Snapdragon 410 1.2GHz quadcore APQ8016
2GB RAM
8GB Storage
1280x720 IPS display
802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0
2740mAh battery
MicroUSB for charging, Qi Charging built-in for bundled charge pad or any compatible charging solution
XR6P10:
Snapdragon 615 1.45GHz octocore APQ8039
2GB RAM
16GB Storage
1920x1080 IPS display
802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0
2740mAh battery
MicroUSB for charging, Qi Charging built-in for bundled charge pad or any compatible charging solution
Both tablets feature side-firing stereo speakers, a headphone jack, and NO cameras. The size of the tablet is comparable to the size of a Galaxy Note 9, give or take.
Both tablets came with Android 5.1.1, and OTA updates upgraded them to 6.0.1. There are ZERO available stock ROM files available for the tablets. I've tried sniffing the updater and they seem to go to a dead website.
The stock ROM is fairly clean, and only has the Vizio Smartcast app which needs disabling upon setting up. Aside from this, there is no other bloatware on the tablet to speak of after running a fine-tooth comb through the system apps. You get a clean and snappy tablet.
The problem:
There's no stock ROM file available, neither for Android 5.1.1 or for 6.0.1. Vizio does not have any sort of download for either on their site, nor did in the past. The updater checked a third-party website affiliated with Vizio to manage the tablet's updates, as it does with their TVs. Since the website is inert, it can be safely said that Vizio is no longer interested in their existence at all, especially since the warranty on every single one of these tablets is now up.
The tablet seems it can have the bootloader unlocked, the developer options has the toggle for that, but there's no way to get into fastboot. Holding VOL UP+DOWN+POWER at boot or sending the "adb reboot bootloader" command sends it into a "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" mode under USB. This, from what I understand, is behavior persistent with the locked bootloader, but I have no idea of how to get it out of this and just into fastboot. Stock recovery does not have a fastboot option either.
The desires list:
Have someone that knows the intricacies of the MSM8916 platform and the APQ8016/APQ8039 get their hands on these tablets
Get a ROM dump of both tablets in stock form so people with bricked tablets can flash them with it
Get Root (Patch level on the 6.0.1 stock ROM is from October 2016, shouldn't be hard)
Get the bootloader unlocked, somehow, and if not, figure a way to get something like Safestrap running on it if the out-of-the-box kernel allows for it
Custom ROMs? LineageOS would be sweet, especially with some of the tablet-specific fixes that have dropped in the past couple months overall.
so I ask: is there any interest in the freeing of these super cheap tablets? The price to spec ratio is not bad (once again, I got my 6M10 for $25 shipped, and the seller has like 7 more as of the time of this writing), and it doesn't seem like it would be all too hard to unlock the bootloader and get it rooted (at least, from my perspective, that of a novice in this specific hardware field). There are plenty of these in the wild in the hands of people that bought the TVs and plenty in the hands that bought them from ebay when the tablets became obsolete.
This link contains screenshots of CPU-Z and the About Tablet settings section from the tablet, uploaded to imgur. If anyone needs more information on this tablet that needs an app or adb command, I can make this happen.

Update: I have temp root.
I have temp root!-the latest kingroot (NOT Kingoroot) APK seemed to have done the trick. I was able to fire up adaway and get the hosts file set up with adblocks to keep the thing safer.
The root is still temporary so it goes away after a reboot. The rooting process involves it doing the root process once, then rebooting, then failing, then you reboot once more, and then retry rooting from the app. From here, 80% of the time, it works and you're able to get temporary root for that boot session.
Once you're done with anything you need root for, you should reboot and then uninstall Kingroot, which you then need to deactivate the device administrator priveleges for, before it will allow you to cleanly uninstall it.
I also made a huge discovery that may turn out better for anyone that can help getting this thing properly rooted and the bootloader unlocked... it seems the file manager included in the stock ROM is v3.0.0 from Cyanogenmod 12.1.
This makes me think that the ROM creator either used that since it was opensource and readily available than come up with their own solution, or that this ROM has some cyanogenmod roots.
I also found this post from another Q&A thread in this section:
TheDrive said:
This device have made by Chinese/Indian company Borqs. The code name Bennu-M. Platform is Qualcomm APQ8016 (MSM8916 w/o modem). There should work standard method to bring EDL mode. Hold Vol+ and Vol- at power on (press power). Then connect to the PC. Thus device will stay look dead, however should be detected as Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 on the PC side. This is the factory described method.
You can flash factory firmware from this mode using external bootloader (programmer) for MSM8916 firehose protocol. This procedure is described in the thousands of manuals around the net. Qualcomm tools like QPST or QFIL can be used as good as many 3rd party utils to flash and manage any another available way. Many professional 'box' tools should support this device too but only as 'generic' msm8916 (if applicable).
However I can't find the firmware package for this device anywhere. You should ask and require the manufacturer/distributor to publish firmware, the source code and all the corresponding matherials to be able to flash and rebuild firmware from sources in any manner you want without any limitations as required by GNU/GPL free open source software licenses this firmware is obligated to.
Everyone who have the device working or software dead, can try to dump the current firmware and data, stored on the internal eMMC memory module in part(s) or in whole image using free QTools project utilities and suitable external bootloader with ability to dump eMMC, not only to flash as many factory supplied programmers do. There are programmer(s) for MSM8916 available in the project repo. Read and understand manuals carefully before trying anything!
There is definitely another ways to root, dump, flash, manage the device in any manner YOU WANT, not only the way you are "allowed" to use your own device by manufacturer/distributor. FTA!
You can root the device then dump all the multiple partition images manually (dd if=/dev/block/mmbblk0...... of=/sdcard/......) or using built custom recovery like CWM/TWRP for your device. Please note, kernel sources are important but not mandatory to build e.g. CWM. You can build one using CWM image from the similar device and the kernel (boot/recovery) image binaries from your device. There are good manuals and image repacking utils available around like e.g. AndImgTool.
There are the way to produce factory image from the eMMC/partitions dump(s). Use utils like R-Studio to dump particular partition images from the eMMC dump (it's like whole HDD or UFD image with all the sectors raw, one by one, w/o any modifications/compression/etc) Manuals / utils are avavailable to make e.g. sparse and xml scripts set which is flashable by the programmer in the EDL mode (i.e. from any damaged state, because EDL is built in to the PBL and masked to the internal CPU ROM, thus can not be damaged in any manner, except firing the CPU up).
You can also flash partition images from the more common Fastboot mode, unless eMMC GPT and bootloaders (SBL/RPM/TZ/ABoot) stay intact (logo showed). You can't dump from fastboot, which is common due to the (foolish) 'safety' requirements. It's security by obscurity and is definitely not for your favor, but for the corps control over you and force to send valuable private data to foreign clouds.
Please share eMMC full and/or partitions dumps using reliable 'neverending' file cloud/hosting since there is no factory firmware available yet (ever). I do not own this device and never seen being overseas, so I can't share.

This gives a little bit more information but seems to be more waffle than helpful. Still need someone, or some individuals, that can get one of these devices into their hands and work on a way to get the bootloader unlocked, the eMMC dumped, and ROMs going.
Update file?
I THINK I have the update file for 6.0.1. I did a packet sniff on a 5.1.1 tablet using a mitm packet sniffer and I ran the system updater, and was able to get this URL:
http://updatev.vo.llnwd.net/v1/idownload/64821.bin
The filesize is 570MB or so, and it looks like it might be the real deal. since it's a .bin file and 7zip can't read it, I won't be able to see what it really is without going over to the box that has a copy of universal extractor installed.
I'll be doing this momentarily and editing this post once I figure out what the contents are or if it's even readable to that extent. Knowing vizio, it could very well be encrypted and need decrypting by the updater application.
Update: it seems to be encrypted. oh joy.
Update 2: I got together with a friend on discord and we successfully decompiled the updater app to a point.
This MEGA link contains all the files thus far and a copy of the tablet's /system/framework folder for decompiling purposes.
However, it doesn't seem we're getting anywhere. the file is still encrypted and I still can't figure out what's needed to decrypt it. Hopefully someone with more knowledge on this can lend a hand.

Just out of curiosity, with the temp root, have you tried using dd to get the recovery image off? If we can do that, we might be able to work on getting a custom recovery built.

It's not possible to get a proper recovery image from within the system files so far as I know, but my take so far has been that there is no proper way to get that at this time without decrypting that file grabbed from the update server. I'd do it on a 5.x ROM since that will get me permaroot, but the issue is getting and keeping root on a 6.x ROM.
Although encrypted (so far as I can tell) the image linked above is the real deal, and I've given all I can to get it decrypted. A proper exploit to take care of this tablet's vulnerabilities and get temp root (on 6.x) that isn't kingo is what is really needed at this point so to not hinder going around the system with crudware and shady background apps, shouldn't be hard since the security patch level for the 6.x ROM is 2016-10-01.
Even if the ROM is extracted or a recovery image found, custom recovery won't be possible until the bootloader is unlocked, and this isn't doable until someone figures out how the qualcomm qdloader9008 stuff works with this specific tablet. Fastboot is unreachable and I'm almost sure I'm doing something wrong.
I'll get temp root and see about dd'ing stuff later on. What exactly would be needed for me to dd off? Whole disk and then go through it elsewhere? I could definitely see if rsync exists and dd over rsync to another box.

I found this today: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514
The miflash tool seems promising (it works with nearly any device)
For the dd stuff, you can usually figure out the partitions easily with the fstab file in /. However, getting a raw dump is always useful.
Really, the big 3 would be the recovery.img, the boot.img, and the system.img. We can work from there

this is the M. the P was out of my price range ($40 shipped over $25 shipped) when I was looking at them, but now the Ms are going for around 25 bucks but 15 shipping from another seller, bringing the price up to 40 bucks where the P was. ended up buying the other Ms from the one seller and gave them out to family members because I was so impressed... but I really should have set some money aside for one of the Ps as well and didn't.

Okay. You said miflash doesn't do anything, does the device show up in the application and not function? Or does it not show up at all?

just doesn't show up at all. and yet installing the qualcomm qdloader drivers says it's connected in device manager, so something's up. tried on two different boxes, different cables, no dice.

Hmmm. That's unusual. Are you running it in win 7 compatibility mode?
It would be nice to see community roms for these devices. I have the XR6P. If you need any info from this device, just tell me what to do.
I'm very interested in this as I have one of these tablets that I would like to use in my vehicle as a display for my piggyback ECU tuner. It doesn't currently support USB OTG, but I read that if I can gain root access I can add the file to give it USB Host functionality. Can anyone confirm this? I have tried several apps to get it rooted including Kingroot as you were able to get a temp root with that. Unfortunately Kingroot, as all the others I have tried, won't even install on the tablet. Again, I'm only looking to get this thing to be OTG capable. If anyone here has any suggestions, I would be very grateful! Thanks all!
I just bought an M remote to replace my broken P remote. My P remote had Android 6. My M remote has Android 5, and the OTA updater says there's no update. Any way to get Android 6 on this?
I have factory firmware for Bennu P and Bennu M , but take some time to upload the file.

hi
the other day i tried to dd in a bootloader to add fastboot to my K8+ (2018) LMX210ULMA and wiped my preloader. The device uses an mt6750 chipset and i had made a back up so i have the approriate software to restore it, i even have the scatter file.
The problem is that there is no da_pl.bin file for lg phones to use sp flashtool, i have no download mode and no fastboot.
i have two pc`s one running ubuntu the other windows 7.
i would appreciate any help
any help at all
ok so ive found some versions of sp flash tool that are supposed to get around the authorization stuff and i have an auth file but i keep getting brom errors. the same one in fact. on linux ifs 0x00. ive been looking at and following the tutorials ivs made android rules and all kinds of things but i cant get it to flash. it started to befote i added the stuff in the tutorials. The red line would go acrross the bottom but now i just get the brom errots.
Thumb up for boldness... :good:
Now you have some interesting project there.
Keep us update if you manage to find out any solution.
No idea how to help but Good luck!

https://ifindhub.com/download-mtk-secure-boot-da-loader-files-mtk-devices.html
ill get there eventually. I have been looking at all the config and ini files and i hate to say it but security might be essier than you think to overcome. just have to erase a few lines here and there and teplace some as needed. idk ty. Dont worry ill keep you guys posted
i really think sometime we over think and see past the easiest solutions. but what do i know im trying to flash an mtk preloader on an lg phone.
im actually trying to unbrick a few phones. two qc `s and the mtk. I kinda bricked one of my lmx210`s on purpose not thinking it would brick. well jokes on me.
Im have a couple questions maybe somebody can help with. In the past couple months on my journey through madness i have tried a few hindred different ways and more flashtools than you could imagine. So far nothing has worked but ive learned alot of theory.
so far though i know that the mtk board is in bootrom mode. We will get back to that as i have an idea....
ok on the qc boards we have the dreaded 9008 mode. I made some progress today. i wanted to see if the LMX210 could boot from SD card instead of the internal. I believe it can but im having trouble with what to do next. p
i used dd to flash the gpt on my sdcard then formatted the partitions to the proper filesystem. when i plugged it in to the usb it lit up but did not boot. But it lit up for the first time since bricking.
But it only lights up with usb plugged in. Add the batrery and it goes dead. It also doesnt show 9008 mode any more.
i went back and changed the boot and recovery images to reflect using the mmcblk system and now windows device manager can see it. But no boot. im wondering first if i might need a special boot loader to boit from sd and two if i might be able to use the same trick to get the mtk running
Some LG firmwares include some files for SPFT, like LGX240ARAT and LGX230HAT.
but do they work with MT6750? In LGX240ARAT there is a dll that mentions MT6755,
but not MT6750. Newer versions probably needed. Or maybe you could hack it. ??...
part of my problem is not knowing what scatter file to use. these phones have thier info all twaktup. the mtk gives several different board/chip types. like we have 6722, 6755, 6750, 6736 and so on. im pretty sure though its a 6750 board with 6755 chipset but do i use the scatter for the board or the chipset.
Ok idea!!
I can pick the phone up as bootrom mode on port in my ubuntu as /dev/ttyACM0.
That means i can write to it. How can i dd the preloader.bin to the right place on there

As I don't know much about but have played a bit with these.
https://gitlab.com/zeroepoch/aftv2-tools
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd...fire-hd-8-2018-downgrade-unlock-root-t3894256
And there is tools like eMMC Pro, etc. that might work too... ?
I think the m250 did answer to some handshake but there was some problems
because I didn't continue testing those py scripts...
I would try what I could read from it first. From those scatter files I guess that
preloader is on its own partition. The other one should start with partition table, pgpt .. ??

Hi,
If you can reach bootROM mode by pressing any of the volume keys while you connect the phone (Mediatek Inc. MT6627) you should be able write and read the EMMC with amonet.
The tool needs some modifications in order to make it work to MT6750. You can probably try with the mt6753 version which may work for MT6750:
https://github.com/Dinolek/amonet
For reference, use this commit:
https://github.com/R0rt1z2/amonet/commit/6b57d0a99f42739d3b3b2ce962b32ecb8fefd950
Contains all the stuff that needs to be edited in order to make it work for that phone
Regards!
Thank you i can give it a try. Its already in bootrom mode though and accepts the handshake. The problem is that the py command that flashes the preloader and stuff on it also wants to flash other stuff as well that i dont have or does not work with the board.
The py command needs to be modified to only flash the preloader, lk.bin, laf and twrp. If those items only could be flashed i could bring the rest of the device up using lgup
I have tried to modify the commands myself to include just those items but it errors. I dont know enough about the python language to be able to do it on my own.

PM me if you need help editing the python script
Regards.
I really appreciate your offer for help. I was looking at the reference for porting and now that i can see the things that would need changing why not go ahead and unlock the bootloader while we are at it. We could save a ton of devices and at the same time give them th3 extra value of being able to twrp and root them.
I have been looking for some way to unLock the bootloader on these phones for days and though it will be some work being able to reflash the preloader AND unlock the bootloader which was my main intent when i bricked it would be worth the extra effort.

I couldnt post the main.py script in the pm but i can attach it here. Thank you so much.
Here is the raw preloader extracted using salt on my pc.
Ok so i went through your source code for the meizu m2 amonet to match it with source code for the mt6750 and i only had to change a couple things. Its pretty much identical to the commit you pointed me too.
As far as i can see your amonet should work just fine with the sp200/lm-x210ulma boards. I did add my .img files to the bin folder though.
Any way i keep getting errors.

[EXPLOIT] [BOOTLOADER] Mediatek based LG K10 2017 M250 bootloader secure boot bypass. by @OficerX
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/exploit-mediatek-based-lg-k10-2017-m250-t4183545
MT6755 and MT6750 are essentially the same, MT6750 is cheaper and slower version of MT6755, these are compatible, you can use tools for 6755 on 6750.
Here (https://github.com/arturkow2000/lgk10exploit) you have tools that can help you flash preloader (write_boot0.py), these should work on your device.
Open config.py set BR_DEV_PATH to /dev/ttyACM0
then write: python write_boot0.py --brom path_to_your_preloader_bin
This is slow process, may take few minutes (you will see progress while flashing).
The Issue:
The phone is constantly booting looping (flashes the Oneplus logo).I am unable to go to fastboot through either adb or through the on-phone buttons.
When plugged into a charger, it immediately begins to bootloop once enough power is supplied.
The only way to turn it off is by letting it get to 0%.
What caused the issue:
My phone got soft bricked all of a sudden, so I followed some tutorials that I found online showing me how to flash firmware using adb in fastboot and by unlocking my bootloader. This temporarily fixed the issue, but it told me that after doing everything I should relock it through ADB. Foolishly, I did so and am now stuck in this situation.
What I've tried:
I am able to get into EDL mode by holding both volume buttons, even while in the boot loop state.
I have downloaded the latest version of QPST and this firmware file (https://firmwarefile.com/oneplus-10t-5g-cph2415).
Quick note: I'm not sure if that's how it's meant to be, but QPST always detects my phone as "Download" (ESN: Download, Phone Number: Download, Banner: Download).
I am not quite sure how to use QPST and have tried following the guide, which told me to select some.hex files from the firmware I downloaded, but I was unable to find any.hex files at all and therefore could not proceed.
I also tried QFIL by selecting prog_firehose_ddr.elf from the IMAGES folder and tried multiple times in both UFS and emmc mode, selecting all of the rawprogram 1-5.xml files with their corresponding patch1-5.xml files from the IMAGES folder, but I always got the same error:
ERROR: function: sahara_rx_data:276 Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes
ERROR: function: sahara_main:982 Sahara protocol error
ERROR: function: main:320 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed
Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Fail process fail
Finish Download
I have tried the leaked EDL flasher from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/edl-flash-tool-leak.4494211/. However, I have been unsuccessful in doing so, though I may have been doing it wrong, and it would be greatly appreciated if someone could explain or tell me how to do it. As you can see in the attached image, I tried to flash it by using the images folder located in the firmware that I have downloaded. But it just gets stuck at 3%
indefinitely as the time goes up forever.
Thanks for reading looking forward to any replies/info
uh do not flash it by qfil it will just not work because oneplus actually blocked qfil and qpst so the only way is their edl tool and you cannot flash it on the edl tool unless you have an (actual) account and (not) bypassed

the Merge was a mistake, its laughable that OnePlus went from being with the opensource community to being completely against it.. What annoys me the most is, instead of just locking their bootloader, they post the source code for their phone, probably as they have to, yet they give no way to utilize that code without developers running the risk of bricking their device.. Developers are willing to dedicate their time and money, to build for a device, all they ask, is for the ability to be able to unbrick, that is humble, Devs ask for donations, they do not force it.. Oppo do not even allow their bootloader to be unlocked, which prevents users from bricking their device.. OnePlus allow users to unlock their bootloader, knowing full well that Developers will understandably not be willing to develop for a device without a potential 60-80% brick chance.. The code could very well build for said rom, but once flashed it has the potential to turn the dev's device into a paper weight, meaning something they do to provide, turns into something that ultimately takes..

Well said to be honest that clears my suspicion about oppo they are greedy and dirty and maybe it is oppo who is making oneplus act like this in the first place oneplus should really consider all of this and give the people what they want instead of being a monopoly like oppo i never even liked oppo from the beginning actually i trusted oneplus with my 7t because i knew if i were to brick it the msm tool will always be there it has been months since the release of the 10t and ace pro and yet still no msm tool for it or a way to even get it back yet but there are many msm tools for the rest of the oneplus devices so maybe i am wrong they can tell us but i still think it is wrong that th 10 pro has to have an actual account.
I'm stuck with a Hard Brick and my device screen is black, only entering EDL for a few seconds.

Yes Probably what happened but now i'm totally stuck on the bootloop until no baterry left.
Cant access fastboot because the phone boot and 2 seconds later reboot ... I can only access edl mode with Oneplus Flasher (bypassed by Hexa change) but after that, like op described the time keep increasing ,and circle progress stays at 3%, nothing seems change on phone
You have no option but to use the official flashing revovery via Oneplus / oppo whoever does it which means paying them to reflash the phone correctly
Ok thank you, so ive to send back the phone or i can do it on my own ?

no need to send the phone to oneplus just contact them directly and arrange for one of their techs to reflash your phone over the internet

So anyone who still watching this thread I made progress on this whole problem I took the 11r firmware file and it has script.sh commands in there and I ran them and it extracted all of the firmware files and made a bin folder that has only two folders inside of it and it took all the files to make it it puts it in your recovery section of your computer but it compiled all the empty files so they actually have things on them if you want to know how I did it and what I used just private message me cuz I will not be posting public because Oppo
