This thread is a tip for Googlers who don't know what to do to fix their Note 5 AT&T phone with the following message:
"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software"
<This screen is Odin Download Mode>
The above error screen is secretly "Download Mode", you do not have to get into Odin Download Mode in order to flash your firmware. If you can't get smart switch to work and you don't know your base band version, like me, then trying all the firmwares until one succeeds might be a solution for you.
Where? <I added links to available firmwares and backups I made>
YOU CAN'T DOWNGRADE FIRMWARE Upgrading reduces the chances you will be able to get rid of AT&T apps + Samsung bloatware someday
Root is not available and the locked bootloader is still locked from release so I wouldn't hold my breath
Warning warning warning you should ask for help from your carrier not me!! Proceed foolishly at your own risk
Edit: Feb 11th, 2017
All of these firmwares are available from XDA Members. PLEASE THANK THEM FOR MAKING THEM!
Samsung/AT&T do not provide these to use!!! NOTICE: I made backup copies for these firmwares but you should get them directly and thank the person who provided them!
(DON'T UPGRADE UNLESS YOU MEAN IT!!!! There's no downgrading from Android 6.01 PHA or higher that I'm aware of, and I'm fairly aware.

If you need to retry to flash your firmware with Odin after an error you must reboot. VOLUME DOWN BUTTON + POWER BUTTON + HOME BUTTON. keep holding them, you don't have to unplug it will reboot shortly

N920AUCS3CPJ1 firmware (BL file is not Odin flashable if anyone needs me to repack it I might take the time to do that.)
Here's the UP file (found from this forum somewhere this is not my work)

How to flash unpacked boot.img, recovery.img, sboot.bin and etc:
Unpacked .img, .bin files can be flashed directly using "heimdall flash tool for Linux": https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall
-- To flash sboon.bin, boot.img, recovery.img and other unpacked firmware files use --> Ubuntu 16.10 with heimdall flash tool for Linux from github. Google how to install dependencies
-- Issues these commands before heimdall. sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get install build-essential (then read appendix for heimdall readme)
-- Use the frontend for heimdall flash tool for Linux --> sudo apt-get install heimdall-frontend
-- Uncheck auto-reboot, don't boot until all files flashed. I'm uncertain what can happen mixing firmware versions in all cases. download mode is fairly safe, recovery mode sounds risky for data
****** I am collecting all firmware for the AT&T Note 5 up to baseband N920AUCS4CPK1. If you have firmware or update files please list them or I can host send me a pm. ******
I need firmware to create removal tools for customers planning to switch carriers on varying versions. My collection so far is efficient but when I find a way to beat the bootloader I would like my tool to be one step regardless of baseband. While I am still trying to find a competent way to forcibly remove the locked bootloader I am confident I will get there especially with the availability of twrp for almost every other variant along with many great kernels for Android 6.01.
Note: I have no idea how to remove the bootloader without access to dirtycow and I haven't confirmed my fix on baseband beyond N920AUCS4CPK1. I would need help from someone very confident with android to test scope beyond baseband N920AUCS4CPK1
I never considered someone could reach this screen without knowing what Odin is and I really meant this post to help those learning Odin. I am sorry that I have no idea what options are available from AT&T / Samsung, using smartswitch or kies. Generally if you see this screen you achieved doing so using a flashing tool such as, but certainly not limited to, Odin for Windows or Heimdal for Linux/Mac.
It is my opinion you shouldn't flash firmware to your phone unless you know what you're doing. Odin has great protections against corrupt files but you need to obtain legitimate copies of the correct firmware. If you flash a rooting firmware especially from the wrong phone it is a real fight to get back into download mode and then you probably shouldn't screw up twice.
Thanks for your collecting.Now I have PL1 package, I will upload it soon. In fact I have a way to download all Frimware end to the latest QB2.......But it is not for free, each package cost about 2.5USD and only get security path.Now I'm waiting the Nougat firmware, I will upload them when it was released....

You're not the first person I've help who couldn't connect smart switch, or the other program they have, and it wasn't a problem with the device.. Before we start you should know that AT&T official store can repair your device in a few minutes at their official store. You will be updated to the latest version but there is even some chance they can save your data!!! If you want to do this yourself for one of the many obvious reasons, such as you don't have AT&T store. Don't worry it's not a huge problem because that error screen is Odin Download mode.
1. First thing you should know is that if you upgrade you can't downgrade. If you don't know which version you were on, and that's important to you, then you should download the lowest firmware version first then try the next versions one by one. (SW REV. CHECK FAIL) <--- that means you tried to downgrade
subnote: if you don't care which version and you don't care about root? download the latest firmware PK1 and save yourself the headache.
2. Next you should understand the buttons fully.
POWER + VOL. DOWN for 8 seconds == REBOOT
when screen goes blank release and then press these to enter download mode: POWER + VOL. DOWN + HOME
3. But again I want to remind you that you DON'T need to enter Odin Download Mode, that error screen IS download mode. But you have to reboot before trying. So press Power + Vol. Down and then just let it reboot to that error screen.
4. Download the lowest version firmware linked here. Uncompress the firmware file until it is 4 files.
BL "" "" "" .tar.mdg
AP "" "" "" .tar.mdg
CP "" "" "" .tar.mdg
CSC "" "" "" .tar.mdg
5. You have a NEWER device so you load all 4 slots with those files ( the slots are labeled)
6. If you get SW REV. CHECK FAIL then download the next version of firmware and try again. If you get to the latest one I linked above but you still have that sw rev check fail message then reply back here to let me know and I will look for a later one for you.
Note: You can flash these and get your phone to turn off if you get tired and want a break
You can flash ANY boot.img and recovery.img to your phone and eliminate that error message almost 100% of the time.. This isn't a repair method unless by some crazy chance you have PJ1 firmware and your boot.img was the problem, I think your system.img is the problem tho.
1. Download these files.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-fnF5v-xg6OR1VWRTItWFVOTVE
2. Flash them with Odin as I described above.. (don't forget to reboot to that error screen again, sounds stupid but it's necessary to reboot to the error screen fresh)
3. Reboot your phone POWER + Vol. Down for 8 seconds or so.. When the screen goes blank quickly release then hold Vol. UP + Power + Home
4. If it didn't show a little green android then enter recovery mode you missed.. repeat step 2..
5. Select power off (don't wipe, that would nuts) but power off is safe even using the wrong firmware version
Here's Odin if anyone needs it. For Note 5 I recommend versions 3.10.7 or 3.12.3
https://mega.nz/#F!5NckmKyL!bUwBEFnadbVcrYeKdm76Tg
--stay clear of 3.12.5 it is possible it changes imei related things, i had to reset mine through at&t website

Is Indonesian listed as a language in settings? check
SETTINGS | SYSTEM | Language and Input <--- if not here I don't know how to solve, i will keep my eyes open for a solution for her.
That version that you're on is within scope of my current work to allow custom roms, but currently I'm still developing the method. (this bootloader is locked I will get around it eventually).. If you upgrade beyond that version I don't know if I can get root again. Best thing to do is give me a couple months to see if I can conquer the bootloader, I think I will win. Don't pass that firmware version that you are on PK1
thank you,hope soon i will win it.
---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------
there is no indonesian language in the list
after flash my note5 n920a hotspot cant be active,
is there any way can solve it
My first guess is that a package it needs is disabled or damaged. But also you should know that sometimes I have to flash twice in a row with Samsung devices after a crashed out install to get it right again. Also... Did you check logcat to see what the problem is? There is a lot of information coming through logcat and while a couple errors isn't uncommon we always want to watch it after a customization to see what fails.
I am just getting back after several days away if you're still not able to solve this in the next couple days I will test it on mine, to check dependencies and etc.
cool tools:
adb logcat
Android Studio has a tool called 'monitor' search how to open it for Windows/Linux
adb shell pm list packages -e <---- list enabled packages only
adb shell pm list packages -d <---- list disabled packages only

Hello, I can not post on the developer forums yet, so I will post what I can here.
I was able to get root access to my Samsung ATT Note 8 (SGH-i467). See attached image.
Thank you;

SkipKelley: for starting me off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2385265
The XDA Forums: for being available.
chainfire: for obvious reasons. http://www.chainfire.eu/
I will try to put together a complete how to when I can. For now I will link to the image files I created.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DEVICE NOT WORKING.
Here we go.
1. Download the i467 firmware from http://www.sammobile.com
1a. Extract the main zip file you downloaded. Leave the .tar.md5 files intact. They are the files you select with Odin in steps six (6) and nine (9).
2. Download Odin 3.07 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1738841
2a. Extract and launch Odin.
3. Download the pre-rooted I467UCAMF1 images from SAMSUNG-SGH-I467I467UCAMF1-ROOT.tar
3a. Do not extract or modify this file.
4. Do a factory reset of the device either in system settings or using recovery (volume up). Yes, I have found you must do this.
5. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Step 6 is only required if you accepted the OTA "CAMF2".
6. Use Odin to flash all four files downloaded in step 1. BOOTLOADER, CODE, MODEM and CSC files.
6a. Let the device finish install and boot.
6b. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
This is the fun part.
7. Select PDA in Odin and select the file downloaded in step 3. Make sure all other files are not checked. Flash... Odin will say it failed. Yes, don't worry, recovery is still there.
8. Reboot into download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power)
9. Using Odin only flash the BOOTLOADER, MODEM, and CSC from step 1. Do not flash the CODE file or the modified image. In other words, leave PDA unchecked in Odin.
10. Let the device install and reboot.
You should now be able to run SuperSU.
If you want to update to OTA CAMF2 then follow these steps BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE;
Thanks to DanMc85 and others for testing. Also, usernamenotfound wrote instructions in the next post, thank you.
1. Start SuperSU and in the settings enable Survival mode.
2. Connect to a Wifi network. (Thanks aTt)
3. Go to system Settings and select About Device at the bottom of the list.
4. Select Software update on the right.
5. Go through the update process and the device will reboot. You should be at version CAMF2.
[EDIT]
Bootloader = BOOTLOADER...tar.md5
PDA = CODE...tar.md5 - Don't select this in step nine (9). Leave blank.
PHONE = MODEM...tar.md5
CSC = CSC...tar.md5
Thank you ZeroxCorbin, this method works flawlessly!
Thanks to DanMc85, crazymikey, & Danno5150 for the following:
If you are looking to update to MF2 after you root, make sure that you enable Survival Mode within SuperSU Pro and then perform the update BEFORE you remove any bloatware or make any changes to the file system, as changes in the system will cause the update to fail.
Remember to do a backup of any apks before removal as this will allow you to put them back in place in preparation for future updates. (MF3?)
Hope this helps mitigate some of the questions.
Thanks again guys!

Thank you very much
Everything went well and I was able to root after 2 months. Took a while, but thank yery much. I've missed Titanium Backup so much.
Instructions were very clear and concise. Was able to root in about 15 minutes with reboots and pushes. Worked perfectly following the instructions to upgrade to MF2
Skip
Thank you this worked perfectly; note I can use the device the way I want to.
Thanks I was worried I was gonna have to take this back! But it worked on secound tty and using Titanium Backup Pro I can fully integrate Root apps and updates into the stock system rom with no trouble! How do you install a TWRP Recovery for this model?

What will happen if my fone is an unlocked ATT
I am a little worried because I have it unlocked for international 3g sim. If I root it, will i have to unlock again?
Sorry about my dumb question

We can't flash any custom recoveries until the bootloader is unlocked
At least we have root.

I think that he's talking about SIM unlock maybe? If that's the case, I'm assuming that the way that this root was setup, you will probably need to re-unlock the SIM, but I'm not 100% sure.
So glad we finally have root! Won't do this until a bootloader is figured out though. But this is the first step! I wish I knew more on how to crack bootloaders to help out :/
So I know, does this method work with the OTA Update that AT&T put out in August?

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DEVICE NOT WORKING.
Here we go.
1. Download the i467 firmware from http://www.sammobile.com
1a. Extract the main zip file you downloaded. Leave the .tar.md5 files intact. They are the files you select with Odin in steps six (6) and nine (9).
2. Download Odin 3.07 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1738841
2a. Extract and launch Odin.
3. Download the pre-rooted I467UCAMF1 images from SAMSUNG-SGH-I467I467UCAMF1-ROOT.tar
3a. Do not extract or modify this file.
4. Do a factory reset of the device either in system settings or using recovery (volume up). Yes, I have found you must do this.
5. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Step 6 is only required if you accepted the OTA "CAMF2".
6. Use Odin to flash all four files downloaded in step 1. BOOTLOADER, CODE, MODEM and CSC files.
6a. Let the device finish install and boot.
6b. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
This is the fun part.
7. Select PDA in Odin and select the file downloaded in step 3. Make sure all other files are not checked. Flash... Odin will say it failed. Yes, don't worry, recovery is still there.
8. Reboot into download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power)
9. Using Odin only flash the BOOTLOADER, MODEM, and CSC from step 1. Do not flash the CODE file or the modified image. In other words, leave PDA unchecked in Odin.
10. Let the device install and reboot.
You should now be able to run SuperSU.
If you want to update to OTA CAMF2 then follow these steps BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE;
Thanks to DanMc85 and others for testing. Also, usernamenotfound wrote instructions in the next post, thank you.
1. Start SuperSU and in the settings enable Survival mode.
2. Connect to a Wifi network. (Thanks aTt)
3. Go to system Settings and select About Device at the bottom of the list.
4. Select Software update on the right.
5. Go through the update process and the device will reboot. You should be at version CAMF2.
[EDIT]
Bootloader = BOOTLOADER...tar.md5
PDA = CODE...tar.md5 - Don't select this in step nine (9). Leave blank.

Step six is just for you.
Only issue I had was forgot how picky Odin is about cables. Used a monoprice one and it Odin wouldn't see it. Used the stock cable and all was good.
Tablet is rooted and am in the process of debloating it.
Thanks very much for this. We all appreciate it.
Happy Note 8
Thanks thanks thanks. It worked like a charm!!! :good: I did have to find a shorter cable - wonder why my 10ft cable didn't work :laugh:
I am unclear on the use of odin
I am unclear on these two parts:

I have not used Odin, how do you "flash" these files? It looks like you have to do them one at a time. I am just unclear how to flash the files.
Also, It looks like you are doing them twice if you have the CAMF2 update, which I do, is that the case?

I downloaded the factory firmware from sammobile (took over 2 hours)
but I think the csc file is corrupt. odin gives an error when I try to select it, and windows shows that the last modified date for the file is year 3247
I downloaded the zip again from sammobile and it's still the same.
Could anyone upload the csc file somewhere like dropbox??
Thanks
EDIT: When I tried to select the csc file I was getting the error "parameter is incorrect". Googling the error shows people saying to remove the ".md5" extension and retry.
When I did, it accepted it (although I didn't flash it yet). But I just wanted to make sure that I am not bypassing the checksum and flashing a corrupt file. Is that what you guys had to do as well, assuming it is still the same factory firmware on sammobile?
Thanks
Can i use that to repair my bricked Note ?
The Odin said tz.img nand write failure!
I still can use the n5110, but without the bootloader, can I use the new rom?
No. TZ stands for "Trust Zone". Explain to us the steps you took to flash. Also, which bootloader package are you trying to flash?

I am having the same problem. The steps are
1) I download everything from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759863
2) then I put my note on download mode.
3) In PDA or AP I put bootloader file
4) then I press start, re-partition disable, but I failed and cannot flash bootloader
I tried all Odin, 3.0.4, 3.0.7, 3.0.9 and all giving the same error. And when I try to flash UK kitkat stock firmware, it fails giving NAND start up and then fail, I tried several times but I don't know what to do. I am running civz 4.2.2 rom right now and I want to update to kitkat
Try this: As always, do at your own risk.
Download: n5110_xxdne1-firmware.tar.md5
Download: odin304.zip
Start ODIN as administrator (right click, Run As Administrator) *recommended
Reboot into download mode and plug in the note 8
Make sure Re-Partition is NOT CHECKED, select PDA and select the n5110_xxdne1-firmware.tar.md5
Press start and wait a few moments. It's pretty quick. Afterwards, your device will automatically reboot.

This threads is to large i got lost and i didn't know from where i have to start.
NOTE that even if you follow my guide you can still end up with a bricked phone
Also it would have been best if you looked through General/Q&A for more data on this if you run into trouble
ok. here is kinda how:
from this:
(method is very similar to this website so you can use its images as reference)
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...axy-s-gt-i9000-to-android-2-2-froyo-download/
page you will need:
512 PIT
Odin3
Samsung USB Drivers
Get a desired ROM release here:
http://www.editandroid.com/stock-firmwares-roms-for-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000/
After acquiring these things you will need to install Drivers.
Open Odin3 after installation is done and boot your phone down.
When phone has turned off press: Power + Home + Volume DOWN button combo
Your phone should boot into download mode (it will show a yellow triangle with android with a shovel on it)
Now connect your phone to your PC via USB Cable and check for reaction from Odin3 software
Then browse for .pit file and ROM components you have downloaded earlier.
Be sure that you have located correct files into correct fields: pit, pda, phone, csc.
Click the start button and wait for output, if process halts/stops/freezes when setting PIT file try the process without pit file
After successive flash you must do it for second time and be sure to use PIT file and all other things again.
Boot the phone and go through all procedures of first boot.
Go to settings/storage
And wipe/format all storage devices available
Flash the ROM again.
If successful, you should have a device that is completely empty of your personal data

Thanks, your guide help me flash my phone and everything works except for sending text messages (and since smsc isn't working my voicemail doesn't either). Did you have this issue as well? My smsc is in the messaging app but it doesn't work. Receiving texts, Sending/receiving MMS, calls, 4g data all work.

Double check your apn settings. Sometimes they get muddled. Also, my experience with this is that you have to make a call to get texts to work. I jest updated to oreo using jkruse post and it works much better than nougat. My apn was wrong and just changing the name to TRACFONE.VZWENTP fixed everything

So my friend tried rooting his phone (VL model) and it's bricked. It has a boot loop with the installing system firmware screen. But I can boot into Odin download mode. I tried using this method and picking both CSC and home CSC. On the CSC one it will fail at emmc_appsboot.mbn.lz4 after the "single download" line.
The Home CSC, it will reboot after the RQT_CLOSE and RES OK and says pass for for set partitions, but when it reboots it goes to the installing system firmware bootloop
Any suggestions? He can't afford a new phone. And I'd love to help him fix it!
I have a copy of the SM-G930VL firmware.

I think i bricked my SM-G930VL from straight talk, it boots up but it immediately reboots after not even 10 seconds of being booted up. i think it was because i rooted and google apps mostly did not load, they had a loading circle but it never loaded so i decided i would try and go into recovery mode and clear/wipe the cache partition. im not quite sure if thats why i cant fully boot past the lockscreen, i tried a factory reset after attempting to boot into safe mode several times but it continues to reboot after the starting android screen, wont even let me setup the phone now.. its very frustrating and if the stock firmware will work, do you still have it? or would i need to try something else?
This method bricked my Straight Talk S7 by leaving it in a recovery loop. I was able to get it into download mode, then installing SM-G930VL Tracfone firmware with Android 6.0 using Odin PrinceComsy (no PIT file). Then, once it was working, I did official software updates through system update to get it up to Android 7.0. I originally had Android 8.0 before brick, but it is still doing updates after every install, so I'll check in if I was able to get it back to how it was before. I suspect that the PIT file used in this guide may be what is causing the recovery loop. I will try the SM-G930V conversion without it to see what happens. My ultimate goal here is to get my Straight Talk S7 rooted.
can you get me the link to SM-G930VL Tracfone firmware you used please
LG V30 Recovery UnBrick Zips
So as some of you are aware, I released a h932 rom that soft bricked a few devices. well in the process of that I (with @runningnak3d help) figured out a way to unbrick those devices. As long as you have TWRP or download mode with ADB then you can unbrick. These zips here are NOT meant to be flashed to just flash. These zips are for those people that have a non 9008 brick only! DO NOT FLASH THESE ZIPS OR RUN THESE COMMANDS FOR ANY REASON EXCEPT FOR A NON 9008 BRICK! DO NOT FLASH OR RUN THIS COMMANDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BOOTLOOP! ONLY FOLLOW THIS THREAD FOR NON 9008 BRICKS! PLEASE BE SMART!
Now on to the good stuff.......
Only download and flash the zip made for your original device model. Do NOT flash whatever your converted too. for example i have a ls998 converted to us998. I would flash the ls998 THEN convert to us998 later on...
NOTE: After flashing the unbrick zip for your model youll need to have a rom zip on your sdcard or internal storage. You'll need to flash that rom zip (aosp or stock) in order to boot
Recovery Zips
H932_Dump.zip [Download]
See Post 2 [Post 2] for what to do if you do NOT have TWRP
See Post 3 [Post 3] if you want to contribute to this thread and backup your device models EMMC for others to be able to recover. ( NO PERSONAL DATA WILL BE USED )
Don´t forget to hit the thanks-button if you like this zip! :good:
You want to help me with a [donation?] Not asking for it, I have fun doing this for you, but feel free...
#RESERVED1
For those of you that dont have TWRP but have download mode and ADB, you have a second option of just manually running the commands to unbrick.
Step 1 - Make sure you have ADB installed on your computer
Step 2 - Download the zip for your orginal device model
Step 3 - Extract the zip and place all the files into a folder called dump
Step 4 - ADB push the folder to your device ( adb push <file path to dump> /sdcard/ )
Step 5 - Open the update-binary file inside the extracted zip inside META-INF/com/google/android
Step 6 - Run all the make_ext4fs commands in adb shell (adb shell make_ext4fs <partition name>
Step 7 - Run all the write_raw_image commands in adb shell ( NOTE : remove $INSTALLER in your commands and replace write_raw_image with dd ) ( EXAMPLE : adb shell dd if=/sdcard/<partition name> of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/<partition name> )
Step 8 - Once this is done you'll need to reboot and profit.
If any questions about this guide please feel free to tag me and ask and i will help you
thank you
#RESERVED2
Make sure you have enough space on internal storage before flashing the backup zip. You'll likely need 10GB+. this new zip now checks free storage on internal and aborts if not enough. it also now creates a flashable restore zip so now youll have the restore zip internal storage/dump/backup.zip and you can flash this zip when you get a non 9008 brick
Dumps can be done with aosp or custom roms but please try to backup only stock roms if possible. Thanks Everyone!
EDIT: NEW ZIP HAS BEEN ATTACHED.
#RESERVED3
#RESERVED4
I'll be releasing the flashable zip to dump your partitions later today!
Added a flashable backup zip. please flash in twrp and then upload Backup.zip from internal storage Dump folder somewhere and send link here. ill make a restore zip so we can make the v30 almost unbrickable :good:
LG V30 bricked
Hi!
I need your help please, if there is any help... (I hope this is the right thread for my topic)
I got my LG V30 a few days ago (on 8.April 2019, EU version, H930). I schwitched it on and made the initial setup (wifi, region, ...). And the "normal" system update. (I think, it was sec.update from 1.1.2019).
After 2 days I wanted to root the phone. My mistake ....
The steps in short:
1. adb and fastboot installed (on my laptop with Windows 10). I copied SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip into the root of the phone (no sd card in the phone).
2. with adb and fastboot (and LG develpoer account + imiei & co) I managed to unlock with my unlock.bin
3. phone restarted. Since then I see an additional start screen "Lock the bootloader." for 1-2 sec at every start/restart. After this the boot process continues with the standard screen : LG V30 ThinQ powered by Andriod
4. restarting the phone with volume up + power buttons did not funtcion (I gave 4-5 times a try). It never ever succeed for me on this phone. Maybe this is an important point...
5. restarting into the new feature of the phone worked out only with adb reboot bootloader
6. I flashed TWRP in Win10's cmd with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (I renamed TWRP-3.2.3-7-DataIMG.img to recovery.img)
7. restarting the phone with volume up + power buttons still did not funtcion (I gave it a try 4-5 times)
8. I found this hint : fastboot boot recovery.img. It did the job, TWRP was started (Version 3.2.3-7 DataIMG).
9. I made a backup in TWRP, copied the BACKUP directrory to my laptop. (maybe the only smart thing of me...)
10. TWRP started with fastboot boot recovery.img again
11. in TWRP -> intsall -> SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip selected and the 'restart' option checked.
12. I have seen, that SuRoot....zip was succesful installed (without any errors) and the phone rebooted automatically (it was connected via USB cable to the laptop, but it should not be the problem)
13. since then nothing happens, but the boot screen: for short time the screen with bootlocker text, then only the black screen with LG v30 ThinQ powered by Andriod
I can not boot in to TWRP with volume up + power buttons. This never worked for me. I tried it 20-30 times... :crying:
With volume up + power buttons I can restart, but only the screen with bootlocker text, then only the black screen with LG v30 ThinQ powered by Andriod appiers.
My laptop does not recognise the phone on USB.
Before I destroy the phone with a hammer, any hints?

Hi!
I need your help please, if there is any help... (I hope this is the right thread for my topic)
I got my LG V30 a few days ago (on 8.April 2019, EU version, H930). I schwitched it on and made the initial setup (wifi, region, ...). And the "normal" system update. (I think, it was sec.update from 1.1.2019).
After 2 days I wanted to root the phone. My mistake ....
The steps in short:
1. adb and fastboot installed (on my laptop with Windows 10). I copied SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip into the root of the phone (no sd card in the phone).
2. with adb and fastboot (and LG develpoer account + imiei & co) I managed to unlock with my unlock.bin
3. phone restarted. Since then I see an additional start screen "Lock the bootloader." for 1-2 sec at every start/restart. After this the boot process continues with the standard screen : LG V30 ThinQ powered by Andriod
4. restarting the phone with volume up + power buttons did not funtcion (I gave 4-5 times a try). It never ever succeed for me on this phone. Maybe this is an important point...
5. restarting into the new feature of the phone worked out only with adb reboot bootloader
6. I flashed TWRP in Win10's cmd with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (I renamed TWRP-3.2.3-7-DataIMG.img to recovery.img)
7. restarting the phone with volume up + power buttons still did not funtcion (I gave it a try 4-5 times)
8. I found this hint : fastboot boot recovery.img. It did the job, TWRP was started (Version 3.2.3-7 DataIMG).
9. I made a backup in TWRP, copied the BACKUP directrory to my laptop. (maybe the only smart thing of me...)
10. TWRP started with fastboot boot recovery.img again
11. in TWRP -> intsall -> SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip selected and the 'restart' option checked.
12. I have seen, that SuRoot....zip was succesful installed (without any errors) and the phone rebooted automatically (it was connected via USB cable to the laptop, but it should not be the problem)
13. since then nothing happens, but the boot screen: for short time the screen with bootlocker text, then only the black screen with LG v30 ThinQ powered by Andriod

Your mistake was not following any of the rooting Instructions in this V30 forum. If you did, you know we don't use SuperSu, we use Magisk. That's probably what messed up your phone.
I understand you obtained an "official" bootloader unlock code from LG for your H930 -- which is not necessary now for almost a year with the WTF exploit -- but you still need to follow the rooting instructions guide.
The unlocked bootloader warning screen is normal. Ignore it, it's just a harmless annoyance. You would have learned that if you read the instructions.
Try manually going into Download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable) -- if you can, then reflashing most recent full stock H930 KDZ via Dev Patched LGUP in "Refurbish" mode. Dev Patched LGUP is attached to post #1 of that thread.
If/when you recover, your bootloader should still be unlocked, but you'll have install TWRP again and this time use Magisk. Read the WTF instructions, but you can skip the bootloader part, as you've already done that. You can start with Section 6. Read those instructions on a web browser, not an app.

Thank you for your quick reply!
I'm learning this forum threads, intstuctions and flashing... And I am now preparing for the unbricking.
After installing LGUP, what dev zip files do I need?
LGUP+V30DLL_PATCHED.zip
LGUP_common_DLL_V30_ALLVARIANTS.zip
LGUP_common_OREO.zip
I can take this kdz: H93021w_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0121.kdz, right?

Are you able to get into Download mode?
You want the "patched" version, but be sure to read the installation instructions.
Yes, you can use that KDZ.
If for some reason your bootloader is not still unlocked, you can run your code again.

Glad to help.
Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
So just uploaded a new zip in post 3. this new zip now checks for free space and will abort if theres not enough to create the backup and flashable restore zip. need at least 10GB in Internal Storage. the zip will now create automatically a flashable restore zip :good: i designed this around the v30 but in theory it should be able to work on all qualcomm devices and maybe even some other SoCs as well. but this has not been tested on other devices. ive fully tested this on my ls998 and everything works great! Enjoy!
john, did i ever tell you, that i like your work and efforts? good man! :good:
Lg v30 h932 brick
Hello, I need your help.
My LG V30 H932 phone is left as a BRICK after installing an erroneous kdz, it does not enter download mode or emergency mode, is there any way to revive it?

For those of you that dont have TWRP but have download mode and ADB, you have a second option of just manually running the commands to unbrick.
Step 1 - Make sure you have ADB installed on your computer
Step 2 - Download the zip for your orginal device model
Step 3 - Extract the zip and place all the files into a folder called dump
Step 4 - ADB push the folder to your device ( adb push <file path to dump> /sdcard/ )
Step 5 - Open the update-binary file inside the extracted zip inside META-INF/com/google/android
Step 6 - Run all the make_ext4fs commands in adb shell (adb shell make_ext4fs <partition name>
Step 7 - Run all the write_raw_image commands in adb shell ( NOTE : remove $INSTALLER in your commands and replace write_raw_image with dd ) ( EXAMPLE : adb shell dd if=/sdcard/<partition name> of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/<partition name> )
Step 8 - Once this is done you'll need to reboot and profit.
If any questions about this guide please feel free to tag me and ask and i will help you
thank you

LG V30 Recovery UnBrick Zips
So as some of you are aware, I released a h932 rom that soft bricked a few devices. well in the process of that I (with @runningnak3d help) figured out a way to unbrick those devices. As long as you have TWRP or download mode with ADB then you can unbrick. These zips here are NOT meant to be flashed to just flash. These zips are for those people that have a non 9008 brick only! DO NOT FLASH THESE ZIPS OR RUN THESE COMMANDS FOR ANY REASON EXCEPT FOR A NON 9008 BRICK! DO NOT FLASH OR RUN THIS COMMANDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BOOTLOOP! ONLY FOLLOW THIS THREAD FOR NON 9008 BRICKS! PLEASE BE SMART!
Now on to the good stuff.......
Only download and flash the zip made for your original device model. Do NOT flash whatever your converted too. for example i have a ls998 converted to us998. I would flash the ls998 THEN convert to us998 later on...
NOTE: After flashing the unbrick zip for your model youll need to have a rom zip on your sdcard or internal storage. You'll need to flash that rom zip (aosp or stock) in order to boot
Recovery Zips
H932_Dump.zip [Download]
See Post 2 [Post 2] for what to do if you do NOT have TWRP
See Post 3 [Post 3] if you want to contribute to this thread and backup your device models EMMC for others to be able to recover. ( NO PERSONAL DATA WILL BE USED )
Don´t forget to hit the thanks-button if you like this zip! :good:
You want to help me with a [donation?] Not asking for it, I have fun doing this for you, but feel free...

You tried to cross flashed another variant stock KDZ over your T-Mobile H932? Not sure why you would do that, but normally that results in 9008 brick which needs remote viewer Octoplus help to recover.

From what I know, there is no fire hose for the H932.

I don't think think there is any guide that says to do this. If there was, @ChazzMatt would have gotten it shut down.

The T-Mobile root guide does say flash the LAF partition of the H933. But only the LAF partition. Some people do not pay attention and flash the entire H933 kdz over the T-Mobile H932 and brick their phone.
Just had a guy in the Frankenstein thread who said he followed instructions. I didn't believe, told him so, and asked him to tell me step-by-step what he did... Turns out rather than flash US998 Nougat, then Master Reset, then Oreo of choice -- he flashed 20f (Oreo), Master Reset, 20g Oreo.
I asked him why he did that. He said US998 20f was Nougat. That's like saying a banana is an apple. "10" is Nougat, "20" is Oreo. Plus, in my instructions I have specific download links to all requisite firmware, which he ignored.
He said he downloaded KDZ from LG-Firmwares website who told him US998 20f was Nougat -- which they didn't. But even if they did, who cares? You're following MY instructions, so use my download links. Once he downloaded actual Nougat from my download link -- hey that worked!
Also use the Dev Patched LGUP which I recommend. Some guy over the telegram thread said he was following my instructions, but used Uppercut. Of course that's going to fail. None of my instruction mention Uppercut and never will because it doesn't work on Oreo or later and conflicts with Dev Patched LGUP. I always include the specific version of Dev Patched LGUP you should be using. (The Dev for Uppercut is amazing, but it just doesn't work on our phones past Nougat. If it's NOT in the Instructions, don't use it.)
This isn't a recipe where you can substitute your own ingredients.
You need to read carefully and pay attention.
I'm happy to help -- but while some people's problems are quite preventable, once occurred may not be fixable.
