Hello community members,
TL;DR no adb, no fastboot, no flashmode, no QDloader (or similar) ... how to unbrick it?
I was trying to force Android to allow lower lcd backlight brightness levels by patching framework-res.apk and I had the edited zip file ready to flash. Then I realized that my Android 7 Ressurection remix ROM (thread) flashed Cyanogenmod recovery, which I don't like. So I decided to reflash TWRP 3.0.2 (link) ( edit: using "fastboot flash boot twrp.img", which was almost fatal mistake) and it has gone almost well. The phone started to boot into recovery mode everytime (and took a long time doing so). So I googled a bit and found this thread which lead me to this thread. I was looking forward to seeing my display brightness at lower than default values, so I probably skipped some security checks and texts with red color, so I flashed the zip with the boot.img replaced. After flashing I chose reboot and nothing happened since.
The problem is I flashed something that was not for my device (extracted boot.img to wrong mmcblk). The command that bricked my phone is (from META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script):
Code:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6");
After that it doesn't boot, doesn't light up LED (even when charging), doesn't get detected by PC in any state.
So I have no adb, no fastboot and no flashmode and not even a QDloader or similar mode.
Is there a way to unbrick it?
EDIT: How to unbrick it using JTAG interface? If I find somebody that has the required equipment, what data do I need to give them?
Hey there! Did you manage to solve the issue, because I just got into the same situation after the zip didn't save the corrected partitions but the initial ones... So i ended up without any signs of life in my phone

Nope, I found no solution ... even some kind of Qualcomm flashing mode via COM (serial port over USB) does not show up nowhere. I gave up and bought a used S5 mini, which is full of features I appreciate.
I'm gonna keep this Xperia M for some time if some solution comes up.
hi , can you boot into recovery ? ..if yes, i can maybe help

No, as I said, the phone does not react on anything. I would be able to put it back together if this was possible.

can you still access fastboot mode? anyway you need to know first what is exactly partition that you overwrite with boot.img :/
. That was really critical -_-

Nice looking tutorial, but I cannot find any download link for that One Click Unbrick Tool in that article. I doubt it would work, they are not explaining what it does.

No, as I said. The partition that got overwritten was /dev/block/mmcblk0p6. It was overwritten by boot.img from LG OPTIMUS 3D that I link to in the main post.

Do you know how to use Flashtool?
If so, did you already attempt flashing a ftf via Flashmode (Hold VolDown)?

I know what Flashtool is. I know what ftf is. I used it once I think.
But the phone does not boot into flashmode as I mention in the main post.

Hello all, I've made a bit of a balls up and appear to have deleted the bootloader on my G3 (D855) when I tried to install TWRP. Every time I start the phone or try to get in to the bootloader I end up on the TWRP screen. I have ADB access but I have no idea where to start to recover from this. I think I may installed twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img instead over the bootloader. Is that even possible?
Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter
I do the Same things first time i flash twrp.
Reflash à kdz with flashtool save me.

Actually, its not what I thought. I've managed to get in to the original bootloader. So the question is why is it taking me to TWRP screen all the time?

I've been trying the the last 2 days to sort this out but have come against a stone wall. I've tried on 3 PCs and I cannot get the phone connected via USB (other than with ADB or MTP). To clarify my situation (as my initial post is probably incorrect)....I have manged to "replaced" the Android OS with a TWRP. Every time I start the phone I end up on the TWRP screen. I can boot in to the stock recovery. I have the correct KDZ file and Flash Tool but can't connect to the phone to re-flash.
Please, any help will be greatly appreciated.
What does it say on the PC when you plug it in?
Is it picked up in Device Manager?
Can you get in download mode?
Yep, its picked up as "G3" but with no drivers. I've downloaded and installed the LG unified drivers without any luck. From other pots I think I should be seeing it as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port"?
Download mode? Not sure what you mean.

Hi all, I come to you as my last resort.
I have spent hours on google trying to find a solution to my problem.
This is what happened.
I store my ROMS on an external SD and sometimes i get the error that it is being removed unexpectedly...sometimes..anyway.
I booted into my TWRP and went to flash DarkKnights ROM..this ROM was something like 1.7 GB i think and after completely wiping the device (System, data and cache) i proceeded to flash the new rom..However it flashed very very quickly which i found strange but proceeded to restarting my device.
After that my phone has been completely dead!
What i think happened is that the EXTERNAL SD malfunctioned during the installation and im left with absolutely nothing on my phone.
I cannot enter recovery or download mode!
The only sign of life is when i plug it into my computer and it installs a driver that is the androidnet driver not the qualcom driver that some people have had and fixed.
I am open to any suggestions as you truly are my last resort.
Haven't really got much to say in the way of helping you mate, sounds like you're in a real Pickle :/
I'm sure someone here has a solution, there'd surely be SOME way to resolve it, we've got some pretty talented devs that do some amazing stuff so someone should be able to help ya somewhere.

Try LG mobile support tool (old version) : http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
Even if you have not download mode, you can try. Install the tool
Try to boot on download mode, you have error message
run LG mobile support tool
choose Additional functions then Upgrade of the recovery after error
At one moment the tool will say that there is not of g3 connected, reattempts starting in download mode or presses on the button to power. Try several times both.
If it work, the software is going to download the last one kdz available for your device and him(it) to fall in love by following
You can always try this solution, with a little luck ...
I have tried all your suggestions but i still have no luck..i tried the tot method as well and it comes up with an error message of 'download fails'..there must be some way to fix this!!im left with the driver AndroidNet being installed on the computer and a phone that cannot enter recovery or download mode. however i can hear the phone working on the inside if i listen closely..if you have any other suggestions please share!

Thank you very much for the thread you posted..i tried it but the thing is..my phone has literally nothing on it so when i put each file manually into the phone i dont know which sdb to put it through to..as the thread says it should give a lost of all the system partition files but since my one doesnt have anything on the phone it does not find them...
However, i did manage to establish a connection between the phone and the terminal in linux so im thinking maybe i have to flash each file manually that i can get from a system dump of a g3 and maybe thay will work..what do you think??

Hello,
I had been using a H815T, locked bootloader, running Seven HD rom v6.1 for more than 2 months flawlessly. Suddenly yesterday my phone was in charge and it restarted and went into bootloop. Since I tried many things and I went to some local technicians as well as one LG engineer, but all failed to gimme any solution. And I don't have any warrenty, I couldn't ask for a replacement for anyone.
So here's what I tried:
1. Flashing international KDZ
2. Flashing default KDZ
3. Formatting from recovery mode
4. Changing battery
Here's what works:
1. Download mode
2. Recovery mode
So I am ready to pay if anyone gimme a solution out of this. Any help will be appreciated as I am in real trouble coz I cannot afford a new phone now.
With thanks

To me it used to happen sometimes while charging. I had to manually switch off the screen and when i switched on the screen, it became normal for a while. I thought it was due to heavy xposed customizations.

Try this:
copy all zip files you need to reflash (10D or similar) to a memcard
Also download latest twrp and copy it to the directory where you have adb.exe
Open a Command prompt on your PC (where adb is located) and powerup the phone,
open up the Device Manager on your PC to see when the adb device is there,
in the moment where you see the adb device fire up the comand:
adb reboot bootloader
if that works enter the comand:
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img
this will boot directly into Twrp without flashing twrp and you can try things from twrp
I hope this will help here, helped me with the phone from a friend of me who had a similar problem.

Hello guys,
After an update to android 7.0 my cell phone started to show difficulties to load. When I connect it on it gives the following message: Caution: High temperature of the device.
This happened after I updated the firmware to the latest version. I wonder if it is to restore the system and go back to version 6.0 of android?
Thank you all,
Best regards
Lando
I have a feeling you'd need to unlock the bootloader. Even so it may not allow you to install MMon it...
Usually the newer firmware replaces the bootloader that rejects older versions of the OS to be flashed.

Yes, actually I already unlocked but it did not work. When I try to flash the ROM it says that the version is impractical with the CPU. And nothing truth is not because I've tried more than 5 old roms.
Please if anyone knows how I do this downgrade help me, because I have to have to try several times to load the phone with it turned off.
Many thanks to any help!

Boot latest twrp
wipe everything on phone in twrp (tick all boxes)
Flash the correct (2.4ghz or 2.15ghz) android 6.0 rom from the asus website. You will need to transfer the zip file to your phone from computer while in recovery. Sometimes you have to reboot twrp after wiping to see the storage on your computer.
Be careful as wiping you phone will remove the os and will result in soft brick if u don't flash the android 6.0 rom.
I have reverted to android 6.0 twice on the sd821 variant but still only do this if you are confident.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone

Unfortunately at the time of doing the procedure by an oversight on my part I forgot to do the full wipe. I circled the correct ROM for my phone, but did not do the wipe.
The phone rebooted, hung up and did not call anymore. I can not believe it looks like it gave soft brick due to this my carelessness.
It does not go into fasboot or recovery mode. It gets totally off and when I connect to the pc it recognizes as Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008.
I'm desperate, have I lost my phone? Is there any way to fix this friend? Please ask if anyone knows any procedure to correct it.
Thank you from the heart.

Ok restoring your phone with the Qualcomm loader is a very lengthy and complicated process. When the phone is completely off. Hold down the volume up button and power button for a while until the Asus logo appears on the screen. Then open cmd in your android-sdk folder and type "fastboot devices." Let me know if it detects the phone

Ok well unfortunately my phone is s821. You need someone here that has a s820 to factory reset then backup their phone. Then you can use the Qualcomm loader to restore your phone.

Like I said as this is such an uncommon phone it probably doesn't exist. You need someone willing to upload a backup of their phone 2.15ghz for u to restore.

Ok Man, but can you send me the step by step of how you managed to solve your problem, regardless of whether rom is different? I know you have nothing to do with it, but I have spent all my savings on this device and need to work out a way to recover it.
Thanks Huffy :good:

Hello guys,
After an update to android 7.0 my cell phone started to show difficulties to load. When I connect it on it gives the following message: Caution: High temperature of the device.
This happened after I updated the firmware to the latest version. I wonder if it is to restore the system and go back to version 6.0 of android?
Thank you all,
Best regards
Lando

Yes, The bootloader was already unlocked before the problem happened on my phone. I dont think you really understood my problem. What I need is to recover the bootloader from my device.
You said: wonder if it is to restore the system and go back to version 6.0 of android?
So I give you the way to downgrade~It’s not difficult.
I don't know that you had brick your phone......

Will QuickCharge 3.0 work again if you return to Android 6 (given that it was removed in Android 7)?

It was never removed it works fine on Android 7.0. Sometimes you have to factory reset your phone to get it working after an upgrade.
You do have to use the supplied ASUS charger though which is really annoying to get qc3.0 speeds. Other qc certified quick charge 3.0 will only charge at normal speeds. Something Asus have blocked themselves.
im super worried right now, this is my only phone and really need it these days, thing is i tried to flash a kdz to my phone with lg up 1.14 and worked, everything was fine, but it had a may 2019 security patch and didnt want to update via OTA, so i downloaded a more recent kdz and did the same, but now with LG UP 1.15, thing is, this time, when it was supposed to reboot and show a circle that says "erasing" it stayed off.
now it doesnt react to anything, not even the volume down+power or the volume up and conecting to acces download mode it stays at a blank screen with no reaction, not even a vibration.
however, when changing ports, it stared installing a divice, however it said this:
qusb_bulk_cid:0402 _sn:c9aaeafb is set up and ready to go
i sherched and this appears to be a qualcomm brick, please tell me i can recover my phone.
someone help me quick please
ok, i installed qualcomm drivers and now my phone is detected as hs usb qdloader 9008 (COM9), which indeed is a qualcomm brick.
does anyone knows what to do next?
I think you can flash with qfil but I don't have much knowledge about that, sorry ... I hope someone who knows about it will help you soon

yeah, i read that, got the files, even the firehose and did it. but now i have a new problem, im still brick but now my phone cant be recognice, every time it is conected the only thing it happens is the led blinking red, which i read it is the worst possible outcome. (im sure i did the qfile process correctly, i did it very carfully and only after reading like 6 posts so that i could be well informed.... it got quite techy)
why!! :crying::crying:
i read that mostly happens to the t mobile version of the phone, but mine is the cannadian one, i dont get it.
can someone now help me with this red blinking led?? i read a lot but the only thing i found is that ill need to open my phone and use the test points to access qualcomm mode, but it doesnt say more, i dont know where to begin:crying:
did u flash on lgup via cmd or via GUI? if gui, u picked refurbish or other command? Some guys erase their imei mac etc picking other commands in the gui (dl partition is safe), making their smartphone become a thing made of hardware with no identity.

mmmm... i used the lgup version 1.13 via GUI, for my first time, i used refurbish since it was the default, it worked fine.
when i downloaded a more recent kdf for my second install, i also downloaded the version 1.14 for the lgup, i tried to acces the gui like normal but didnt work since it asked me to log in, so i read i could also do it via CMD, so i used CMD for my second test.
Thats when my phone began intalling like normal, but in the reboot section of the install, it turned off to never turn on again

I hope u could resolve it. try other lgup versions. If u cant go download mode, hold vol- and power with plugged usb to pc and when the phone restarts u have to release too fast the buttons and hold vol+ until u get into download mode.
Hi, so my phone boots to lg g7 thinq splash screen and gets stuck there. I have a PM flashed to 11g. I can access download mode, edl, fastboot, and I can access all partitions in qfil. Can anyone send a copy of their mpt partition? I think I overwrote it on accident. Thanks.

I'm currently trying that out now. Can you backup your mpt partition in qfil so I can download it? Thank you.
I was actually successful in using qfil to flash but sadly it still isn't enough to fix my problem. It still stays stuck at "lg g7 thinq" splash screen. Also lost access to fastboot.

I flashed them one by one this time and still it won't boot completely. If anyone can share their mpt partition from qfil it'd be much appreciated.

This is the only option i did it in 4 days repeat and repeat thats it r u usung same ezdextrat file attached in thread ir your own extracted files ? Doenload from here and repeat 0123456 untill monile turn on you will loss imei
I know I'm doing it correctly, as you can see in my screenshot above. The extracted files are not what I need. I need mpt partition, which isn't part of the kdz.
In other words, I messed up a partition the kdz won't fix.
I fixed my issue. Turns out my mpt partition WAS the issue. What I did was wipe mpt in Qfil then reflash everything and it finally booted.
Just an FYI for anyone flashing blindly like me: double check which partition is highlighted in blue before flashing! Lol
Congrats your imei is still there ?
