LG G3 Shows Up As LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port

So, long story short - I hard bricked my phone by trying to flash .bin files when they should have been .img files (rookie mistake). Anyways, once i flashed those the screen went black and the phone would not respond to anything. When i plugged the phone in it showed up as Qualcomm 9008 blah blah blah so i followed this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g3-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933853. I was able to flash some of my partitions but then suddenly the screen changed to this:
http://i.imgur.com/G0n16LP.jpg
I believe it was after flashing tz. Regardless, I could not flash any more partitions.
So i plugged in my battery and reconnected it to my computer and it shows up as this: http://i.imgur.com/zRKaNZC.jpg. For those who can't see it it shows up as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port. It also shows up as LGE AndroidNet USB Modem. Any idea on how to fix my phone from this? I've installed the Qualcomm Drivers as well as the ADB universal drivers and the LG Drivers for my phone. Using LG Mobile Support Tool the flashing goes until it says it can't connect to the phone. QPST can't see it, LG Flash Tool gives me "Model Information Check Fail" and any KDZ Flashing tool can not flash it.
I heard talk about shorting capacitors to put it into 9006 mode in order to see the partitions. Does anyone know which capacitors?
Any help would be great considering there is not a whole lot of (free) information out there on this.

So I fixed my phone. For everyone wondering how to do it follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091.
If you're stuck in the serial mode you have to short the pins on your emmc. Short then pins as described in the above thread and then plug your usb in. Then follow the steps in the thread and flash.

Man I'm in the same boat as you. I couldn't get the Qualcomm tool to work though.
Nothing seems to be working at the moment and neither flashtool or anything else seem to be finding my device.
I'd like to avoid sending it to LG if I can as I need this phone.
Have you had any luck at all?

Look's like your phone diag port. May need your msl/spc to get qualcomm tool to work.

How to Get your MSL/SPC
**NOTE** This will only work if your phone is able to turn on
Make sure you have the LG Drivers Installed on your computer (link is in 1st post for that)
Open up your dialer and enter ##DIAG#
Enable DIAG Mode
Connect your phone to your computer
On your phone change the USB Connection type to Charge Only (pull down your statusbar and click on USB Connected)
Download CdmaDevTerm on your computer(I prefer this version)
Extract the CdmaDevTermZip
Inside the extracted folder double click on the cdmaTerm file to start the application
On the right hand side of the CdmaDevTerm screen select "Scan ports"
Next select the LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port from the drop down menu (mine was COM6) then click Connect
In the SPC/Lock Options change NV to LG from the drop down menu
Now click Read SPC
Success!

This looks like your phone is charging, that might mean your boot or aboot partitions are ok. Or maybe recovery, i'm not sure which one is used for phone off charging.

I connected to it (I think) and got the spc number but it doesn't show up in the qualcomm tool/ i don't know what to do with the number haha.

Qualcomm tool, do you mean qpst?
if so you need to add port to server configuration tool. Or maybe try CDMAworkshop.
Have you tried volume + and USB insert?
maybe download or fastboot mode will start

Ya the qpst. I looked and the port doesn't show up as a phone. It just shows up as the serial port and won't allow me to connect. I'll look for the cdmaworkshop tool though. I'm probably going to just try to short the capactitors to get it into 9006 mode and reflash the partitions. Does anyone know where the specific capacitors are? There was a youtube video of it but the owner flipped out and made it private.... so much for advancing the community.
I tried the volume up and insert but nothing shows up. I'm curious if this were to go in for warranty if the company to fix it would be able to tell if its rooted or if they would be in the same position i am where nothing shows up.

Does it show comm7 , i know there is a box that is checked, in the add port screen, that keeps it from seeing the port. When i get home i'll take a screen shot

I too am having this exact issue.

I'm on the same boat. I don't even know how it happened since I wasn't even trying to flash a ROM. One person told me to look at tablets hard brick but I've had no luck yet. Phone was stuck in a recovery bootloop so I tried to wipe/restore backup which didn't work. Popped the battery, went to download mode, started flashing TOT, got an error (yes I had the right files), popped battery again hoping it was a bad connection but nope. I got it the other week :/ as a replacement because my G2 had hardware issues. There's gotta be a way somewhere. In the mean time, I had my gf call my service provider claiming she got a popup about an upgrade, clicked yes and came back to a black screen. They said to bring it in because it's within 14 days of the refurbished. I'm going to take it in but I'm hoping there's a way to get the phone to not load anything at all (led or the boot error during LG), or do sales reps not know enough and/or don't care enough?
I got it working!!! Somehow I got TWRP'd to boot then restored my backup of 4.4.2 stock. AT&T connecting/dropping and Baseband: "Unknown" before it randomly rebooted into download mode which I'm at now. I tried flashing TOT through COM41 but it wasn't successful. Not sure what to do now.
I had some paragraph typed and it must've not gone through. I got it back to the home screen and AT&T logo once "firmware upgrade" was an option again. I still don't know how I switched it from Qualcomm to LGE Mobile, maybe some files I deleted thinking an app backdoor'd it and injected files. After a fun and exciting 12+ hours straight with errors, bootloops, reading forums, videos, downloading/un-install. I managed a way that worked and booted back into a fresh device.

I appreciate you going through this, but I don't think that you were bricked to the point that we are.
-No Download Mode
-No Recovery
-Black Screen & nothing on it.
-When plugged in via USB it shows up on the pc as: LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port
-LG Flash Tools will not work.
-When plugged in with no battery, the screen lights up with a symbol with a battery and an exclamation point.

That's how I was. Secure info boot < red and blue led with black screen, no factory restore. I don't know how I got TWRP to boot. I started messing around with the device manager, deleting any files stored on the computer related to any LG device (AndroidNet, QualComm, MTP, etc) along with popping the battery in with the charge screen and reading a logs.
I hope you guys can get it fixed.

Not even getting a secure info boot here. Black screen no leds

Same here
After rooting it and installing TRWP, I was getting an Error when rebooting into recovery "Secure Boot error". I found a solution at this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/help-secure-boot-error-trying-to-boot-t3054977 and I was trying to replicate. At the Terminal command step "su" worked, the second line didn't, the third line worked and the final one didn't. I know that the third line bricked my phone.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot (writes “zeroes” to the partition to “wipe” it out)
Since then the phone is almost dead. No way to wake it up, I've tried every combination of buttons and USB plugin. The only signs that is alive are that when I connect it without the battery to USB it shows the with the phone connected and the yellow triangle with a question mark and that is detected as LGE Androidnet USB and modem in the Device Manager. I tried the TOT method and the KDZ method, nothing worked. In Qpst it is detected as Phone in Download Mode and in QPST Configuration as Sahara Memory Dump (Connected Phone: Q/QCP-XXX).
LGNPST detects it as UNKNOWN, only Emergency active, and doesn't do anything when trying to upload the bin file, gives Error: Could not switch to download mode.
Getting crazy here.

What DLL did you use to get LGNPST to give you that error?

Ah okay that makes sense. We will need a DLL specific to the model of G3 that we have. It is basically telling the program how to interact with the phone in emergency mode. I have tried the DLL's used to flash TOTs, but they will not register in Windows.

Wouldn't it be the one that came with your firmware file?

I would think that was the case, but they will not show up in LGNPST. I can get the ones to work that others have provided specifically for LGNPST, but not the ones used to flash a TOT with LG Flash Tool.

Ah man. I managed to get my device recognised as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port but there's still another driver that won't install and I don't know which one it would need to be.
Device just won't boot in to any mode, no LEDs, nothing. Obvious tools don't work like flashtool, b2bsupport. I'm considering swapping out the main board as they don't seem too expensive but I'm trying to see if I can solve this first.
I refuse to accept that this is 100% bricked.

MOTO G5 CEDRIC XT1676 Only the led lights up, HELP PLEASE

solved
TheFixItMan said:
This guide is for hard bricked Moto G5 Cedric
Hard bricked means a device which can not enter bootloader mode normally
This method has now been confirmed working
XT1672 32gb version (also works with XT1670 XT1671 and XT1676)
Download mmcblk0 image from here
Thanks to @jcbotelho for providing image
Requirements
Freshly formatted microSD card of at least 32gb
7zip
Linux mint live usb/dvd
USB card reader
Method
The BEST method to flash the sdcard with mmcbk0.img file is to use LINUX!
Windows user have no need to install Linux in pc, you can run Linux from a bootable usb-stick or pendrive that is at least 8gb
0) Put the Moto g5 on mains charge until you have finished flashing the sdcard so it's fully charged ready for the boot test!
1) Run linux, preferable cinnamon or mate versions of linux Mint
2) Insert the sdcard in pc or card reader and open "Disks" app
3) In "Disks" app select sdcard and you will see the sdcard partitions
4) Press "-" to delete the partition (delete all partitions if there is more than one)
5) Press "+" to create a new one and name it mmcblk0, set FAT(FAT32) file format and press "CREATE"
6) Press "Play" button to mount the sdcard, look to see what path the sdcard has (/dev/sd??) and then close the "Disks" app
7) Go to Desktop, open "Computer" and navigate to the location when the img file is extracted (mmcblk0.img)
8) Open the window where img file is with root (right click on window and select "open as root")
9) In root window open the Terminal (right click on window and select "open terminal")
no need to type "su" in terminal, it has root already (see notes if using Linux live usb/dvd)
10) Type in terminal the comand written below and dont forget to eliminate that "1" from the sdcard path,
that "1" can make the differnce betwen phone boot or not!!!!!
Things to note
Linux Live dvd doesn't have open as root so just open in terminal and add sudo to the start of the commands
I've included this in the commands below
If you get a status error just remove status=progress from the terminal command below
Terminal comands
- if your sdcard is seen like " /dev/sdb1"
in terminal aply that comand:
sudo dd bs=4M if=mmcblk0.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync
-if your sdcard is seen like " /dev/mmcblk0p1"
in terminal aply that comand:
sudo dd bs=4M if=mmcblk0.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 status=progress oflag=sync
and the flashing process should start
when it finishes, test the sdcard in the phone and it should boot!
If you get a size error of the sdcard in terminal you have to change the sdcard and try again!
Thanks to vaserbanix for the guide
Re-flash Stock Firmware
Once the phone is in bootloader mode you can flash stock firmware via fastboot
Note that in order to flash gpt the firmware MUST be the same or newer than the version currently on your phone
Once you have firmware that is the same or newer than your current version you can remove the sd card and run these commands (assuming you have fastboot all setup on your pc)
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize (ignore any error)
fastboot erase clogo (ignore any error)
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Imei fix
If your imei is 0 then follow instructions from here
You should be able to restore stock after & keep imei

It will never be released officially - Motorola don't release these files - they are either leaked or someone modifies existing files
You can try
www.kriztekblog.com/2016/10/how-to-flash-qualcomm-mbn-firmware-qpst-tool.html/amp
The firehose file I'll put in the attachment below - Unzip it
Make sure you install everything & put all files in root of c: keep paths short with no spaces eg c:/flashtool
Iv no idea what else maybe required as I don't have this device anymore & even if I did I'd only test it if my device needed reimaging
Your only other option is a motherboard replacement or a repair shop with the equipment to reimage devices eg via a j-tag

more files are missing

You will either have to find one that works or develop your own if the ones that come with the program don't work
Like I said - I no longer have this phone & Iv tested nothing - I can provide ideas it's up to you to research alot of searching & come up with the solution

I have tried all the possible ways that I have found here and on the net ... and nothing. Still the same. Hopefully it will be soon the release of blankflash. I look forward to it. ?

work for me

just follow the sequence:
1 - blankflash
2 - bootloader gpt
then you can write de ROM with RSD or ADB

I did with battery fully charged!
The bootloader of my XT1676 was locked
used the .bat file in:
1 - blankflash (the phone will restart on fastbot mode)
then the .bat file on 2 - bootloader gpt
again in fastboot mode, you can flash the early rom using ADB or RSD Lite.
my OS = Windows 7 (test mode active)
and the driver i've downloaded from anywere here at xda....
on windows the phone is show qualcomm 9008 (something like that)
oh yeah! uninstall all motorola drivers and just keep the qualcomm!!!
if u don't find those drivers, i can upload

Hi. What I do not understand is because it does not work and it gives error being my terminal is the same model as yours, xt1676.
Use w7x64, unlocked bootloader, test mode, compilation 7601 and the correct qualcomm drivers.
Something I have or have overlooked.

Return LG Nexus 5X to original Google ROM

Hello,
I have an LG Nexus 5X (Bullhead?) running PA 7.3.1-RELEASE (Android 7.1.2). It had PA installed on it when I purchased it from ebay some six months ago.
I really would like to go back to the original Google ROM but am struggling to do this.
I've downloaded SuperSU but when I run it I get "SuperSU SU Binary is occupied" and a "HOW TO SOLVE" button.
Clicking "HOW TO SOLVE" takes me to www supersu dot com faq subinaryoccupied which reassures me that: "Only needs a coffee's time to make it happen" and a Community link and Message Us link. Community Link returns a 502 Bad Gateway response (not very reassuring!), the Message Us link goes to a facebook group (SuperSUofficial). Is this route even worth entertaining? I feel I'm only at the tip of the iceberg in getting my phone returned to factory/OEM status.
Any advise would be most appreciated. (Sorry ,not allowed to post links as I'm under the 10 posts requirement)
Thanks, BloodBaz

Follow #10 in this guide, or #11 if you want to retain the contents of the phone's internal storage. You don't need SuperSU for anything.

Thanks Jacquestrapp. I'm struggling at the very first step.
Here's where I'm at:
Step 10 (How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock)) has the prerequsite that I have to unlock bootloader (section 1).
Gone to section 1
Enabled Developer mode (was already enabled)
Enabled OEM unlocking
Enabled USB debugging
Powered off phone
Booted into Bootloader (Power+Volume Down)
Connected phone to PC via USB cable
Opened command prompt, gone to platform tools but as you can see, I'm not connecting here:
Code:
C:\android\platform-tools>fastboot devices
C:\android\platform-tools>fastboot devices
C:\android\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
00cad250a0599972 device
C:\android\platform-tools>fastboot reboot
< waiting for any device >
My PC is the latest Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).
I have an LG Nexus 5X (Model LGH791).
And I'm guessing I've not got the right drivers installed but I'm struggling to find where to get them (I'm in the UK)
Here's where I've tried:
Attempt 1:
Followed the same guide to "Google USB Driver Install": https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html
which takes me to: "Click here to download the Google USB Driver ZIP file (ZIP)" (latest_usb_driver_winodws.zip 8.3MB).
Downloaded, unzipped.
Gone to Device Manager but my phone doesn't appear under "Portable Devices" or anywhere else in device manager.
Attempt 2:
Gone to LG's website, entered model which lead to this page:
https://www.lg.com/uk/support/softw...00008356&subCateId=CT00008358&modelNum=LGH791
(but alas, no software!)
Can anyone advise on how to get the phone and PC to communicate?
Thanks
Chris

You mentioned that your phone has a custom ROM on it (Paranoid Android), which means it almost certainly has an unlocked bootloader. If you reboot the phone, the first thing you see when it reboots should be a message to this effect, advising you to lock the bootloader.

Thanks, yes it does! Sorry, I not good at this. So the pre-req for section 10 is already done.
(I'm assuming I will still need to get adb / fastboot working at some point though).
I'll start looking into section 10 now. Thanks.

Are you connecting the phone to the PC through a USB hub? If so, try connecting directly to one of the PC's built-in USB ports. It's been a while since I first set up my PC for adb/fastboot so I'm not sure what to do about the fact that fastboot doesn't show the phone. I think I used the Android SDK manager, and not the ZIP file, to install the USB drivers.

No, directly onto USB port on top of PC. Tried both ports on top and a USB 3 port in the back. Still no sign of the phone in Device Manager.
I've got a laptop - I will try that next.
After that I will install the Android SDK manager (although I was hoping to avoid this for a one off job).
Thanks.

Okay, so I *think* my laptop is recognising the phone, however I still don't see the phone under Device Manager > Portable Devices or Device Manager > Other Devices (in fact, neither folder exists on my Laptop in Device Manager). However I have got "Nexus 5X" listed under Device Manager > USB Devices.
I'm now following instructions in section 10 of the guide you have given me:
"Download the latest build via the appropriate factory images for your model (Nexus 5X/Bullhead) here (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en)".
For me this is 8.1.0 (OPM7.181005.003, Oct 2018) under "bullhead" (https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/bullhead-opm7.181005.003-factory-e23fac1c.zip)
I've done the appropriate unzips and copies and I have the following folder set up:

The next instruction is to "Boot into the bootloader and connect your phone to your PC via usb cable."
So I shut down my phone then booted it back up again using POWER +VOLUME DOWN buttons to get the screen with the big fat green START option and FASTBOOT mode showing
Connect USB cable to laptop and phone
BUT... now the device isn't showing anymore in Device Manager and running adb devices -l just says "List of devices attached" and nothing underneath!! Grrrrr!
Q1) Should the laptop still be able to communicate with the phone when the phone is booted into the bootloader?
Q2) Could there be something fundamentally wrong with the phone that is causing it not to be recognised?
Booting up the phone and disconnecting and connecting the phone a couple of times re-established the device. This time I was able to run adb reboot bootloader but as soon as the phone starts to shut down for the reboot, the connection to the laptop is lost and the laptop shows an error popup (temporarily) (wish I knew how to keep the popup visible but it was something about an error with the USB device).
Q3) Should I select RECOVERY MODE before I can expect the USB connection to reconnect? Documentation just says to go into bootloader (with the menu)
Any more advice is appreciated. Thanks, Chris

That last command should be fastboot devices, not adb devices.

Yes, but using fastboot commands, not adb commands. With the phone in bootloader mode (the green screen with the big Start sign), you should see it listed after the fastboot devices command. Here's what I see:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot devices

The phone's type-C port can collect lint, and plugging the connector into the phone compacts the lint. Over time, the lint layer can build up to the point where the connector no longer makes full contact with the port. I don't think that's your problem though.

@Jacquestrapp, thank you for your replies. You've been a life line.
After a couple of hours I think I've now managed to do it. I've tried two laptops, multiple USB ports and two USB cables. Whatever is happening, the PC/Phone connection seems very tempremental and I have to unplug and replug in the USB cable after each reboot. However, as you say, the fastboot commands did work after I figured this out, and from the fastboot screen. Also, whenever the phone rebooted or I disconnected the USB cable, the error message was as per attached screenshot.
So, I ran the following commands:
Code:

The pre-google animation too ages and eventually talked about corruption on the filesystem. This is presumably because it had Paranoid Android installed on it previously. So I took the option to wipe everything (I don't have anything precious on the phone that isn't already backed up) and I've got myself back to stock Google and I'm very happy!
Thanks again for your support @Jacquestrapp.
The only thing I haven't done yet is relock the bootloader.
The guide states this warning:
"Important: do not relock your bootloader unless your phone is fully stock. You must flash the factory images first in order to remove root and custom recovery (if you have them), if this precaution isn't taken you may end up with a brick. Please see section 10 of this guide for full instructions on how to return to stock"
Now that I am booting up fine in standard Google Android 8.1, is it okay for me to issue the fastboot oem lock command? I'm not going to kill my phone am I? If it's a "yes", then I'll probably leave it a few days before I actually do it.
Thanks

You're welcome. I *think* you are OK to re-lock the bootloader, but I've never done it, so I can't say with 100% certainty. Both of the 5Xs in my house have been running custom ROMs since I bought them. Also, if the USB connection is as temperamental as you say, take a toothpick (or something else thin and non-conductive) and poke around gently in the USB port to see if lint is the problem. It probably isn't, but it's easy enough to fix if it is: just dig all the lint out.

Unable to restore baseband (No IMEI/No WiFi/Blankflash Fails)

I have been unable to restore the baseband to one of my TMO Z2 Force. The device was running OCXS27.1.5 since its release and was also rooted with Magisk 19.3. A few days ago I started having random shutdowns that would occur when I would attempt to take a picture or send a message. The first shutdown occured at 30% battery, then 58% battery and then at other random battery percentages.
I decided to return to stock and take the OTA to 27.1.7. I ran the flash-all to return to stock 27.1.5 and it was flawless as usual. After the flash-all was complete I setup my device and let it perform the OTA. The OTA went off without a hitch. Completely stock and running except with some mobile network drops. WiFi was stable but I was losing my LTE connection. Once the network drops started happening I decided to return to 27.1.5 with the same flash-all I had used several times before.
I ran the 27.1.5 flash-all to revert back and when everything was complete I was without a baseband. I have read every single thread and post about this issue. I have had this problem before with another Z2 Force and was able to get the baseband back without much of a hassle. With this current device I have tried every single thing I have found posted in the forums and nothing has worked.
When I put my device in EDL mode to run the blankflash it fails like this...
**** Log buffer [000001] 2019-08-24_12:41:40 ****

Can someone provide any input as to why the blankflash log shows this? I am not well versed on the details of what is occuring during the blankflash. Thanks for any help. I have attached a copy of the qboot log.txt

Update #1
Okay. So, after flashing this thing with blankflash after blankflash in EDL mode with no results and after flashing so many flash-alls with different firmwares I have finally got my baseband back. I have my IMEI back and I can connect to WiFi and mobile networks. It took me some time to get it all figured out but I have prevailed. Here is what I did.
I opened a command prompt and booted TWRP. In TWRP I wiped every single partition I could on
Slot-A and then wiped everything on Slot-B.
Next, I booted to the bootloader and then back to TWRP. Once in TWRP I selected to boot to EDL to attempt another blankflash. The Oreo blankflash failed once again as expected. For those who don't know how to get out of EDL mode and back to the bootloader, press and hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER and then run the blankflash while holding the buttons. It may take a few tries but it will return to the bootloader. Once I was in the bootloader I took Uzephi's flash-all utilities and the 27.1.5 flash-all, combined them and flashed my device. Once it was complete I attempted to boot normally and set up my device. Once booted into the OS I still did not have a baseband.
Next, I went back to the bootloader and put the latest update from mirrors.lollinet.com into Uzephi's flash-all utilities which is 27.1.7 and ran the flash-all. Everything ran smooth during the flash.
I booted to the OS and found that I had my baseband back. I put my SIM Card into my Z2 Force and was finally connected to a mobile network and my WiFi was back as well.
What I'm thinking here is that once the OTA to 27.1.7 was completed I could not revert back to 27.1.5 like I did. Reverting back lost my baseband.
I have this backup Z2 Force back up and running on 27.1.7 with Magisk 19.3 installed. So far so good

For those who don't know how to get out of EDL mode and back to the bootloader, press and hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER and then run the blankflash while holding the buttons. It may take a few tries but it will return to the bootloader. Once I was in the bootloader I took Uzephi's flash-all utilities and the 27.1.5 flash-all, combined them and flashed my device. Once it was complete I attempted to boot normally and set up my device. Once booted into the OS I still did not have a baseband.
Next, I went back to the bootloader and put the latest update from mirrors.lollinet.com into Uzephi's flash-all utilities which is 27.1.7 and ran the flash-all. Everything ran smooth during the flash.
I booted to the OS and found that I had my baseband back. I put my SIM Card into my Z2 Force and was finally connected to a mobile network and my WiFi was back as well.
What I'm thinking here is that once the OTA to 27.1.7 was completed I could not revert back to 27.1.5 like I did. Reverting back lost my baseband.
I have this backup Z2 Force back up and running on 27.1.7 with Magisk 19.3 installed. So far so good

EDL mode and test point of the Moto G 5G Plus?

Hello I have a hardbrick that so far I cannot solve, because I want to close the bootloader, the fastboot rejects any command that I enter (including the "fastboot oem unlock") and when turning on motorola it generates the error 0xC2224571 "No valid operating system could be found. The device will not boot ". I thought about doing a "Blankflash", but I don't know what the Motorola "test point" is. Does anyone know how to do it and get to EDL mode?

seems a/b partition problem.

Could you describe what moves at last time which causes this situation?

Hey, can I ask you how did you manage to unbrick it? My phone doesn't get recognized via fastboot. It seems dead but when I connect it to the pc, it gets recognized as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
What can I do next?

Try a blank flash for your phone.

Hello,
I am in a similar situation and also interested in the test point for EDL mode, so rather than opening a new thread I figured I'd reply here.
As it stands, my phone has the /e/ project ROM and recovery flashed on it, the "Allow OEM unlock" option is disabled, and the bootloader is locked. Meaning, the OS doesn't get recognized and doesn't boot, flashing is disallowed across the board, fastboot oem unlock <UNLOCK_KEY> is rejected, and fastboot boot <any recovery stock or otherwise>.img fails.
fastboot oem blankflash returns "Command Restricted" and well, subsequently tells me it failed.
So my own ignorance left myself with a rather expensive paperweight and the last resort I believe is to flash a stock ROM in EDL mode. I have found a teardown video of the device and seen a few test points there (including 3 under the large heatsinking graphite film), and I'm ready to remove the back cover on mine. It seems that the EDL test point isn't documented... If need be, I could try to find the test points myself. I just need more info to not short and break anything.
Edit: so I've gone and done it. Stabbed all visible test points, one of them scores at 1.8v, one at 1.5v, the rest at 0v. [EDIT] Some actually show something below 0.5v.
The 1.8v test point is connected to a trace going to the connector's pin. Another pad goes just beside that pin. It is very enticing right now to try and bridge them, however I'm not confident those are the EDL test points and I may short something I don't want to. I'm gonna get resistors.
The missing connector tells me it's a connector that's important for Motorola, and clearly not for the end-user. This is a cost-saving measure, don't need to run extensive tests when the device is finalized, you only need the test points to... enable EDL? Ahah. The fact the connector pads are still there is because designing the rerouting to remove them also costs money.
The 1.5v test point is between the screen and bottom daughterboard flexible flat cables connectors. Without certainty, I believe it may be a voltage for one of those or both.
Attached is the photo of the test points around the missing connector, if that helps at all.
Edit2: I found this post about trying for test points. I'm lacking resistors right now to further test. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/phone-doesnt-boot-even-in-edl-mode.4411915/#post-87260675
Edit3: welp, bridging the points linked to the missing connector pads did nothing. What I tried is keep the phone off, bridge the points, plug the USB, but it keeps sending me to "OS not found" error or fastboot, depending on if fb_mode_set or fb_mode_clear have been used.

Hey @Awilen please keep us posted. I too want to play with this phone, but am frustrated by lack of easy access to EDL mode (to unbrick). (I want to try to roll my own GSI/AOSP build + Moto proprietary drivers, which will likely not boot the first thirty or so times I try it.)
FWIW, I tried this method and a pre-bought cable that allegedly does the same thing- no dice either.
The fact that there ARE EDL IMAGES out there gives me hope.

This repository has some other tricks to try, if you are brave enough:
Use a edl cable (Short D+ with GND) and force reboot the phone (either vol up + power pressing for more than 20 seconds or disconnect battery), works with emmc + ufs flash (this will only work if XBL/SBL isn't broken)
If emmc flash is used, remove battery, short DAT0 with gnd, connect battery, then remove short.
If a ufs flash is used, things are very much more complicated. You will need to open the ufs die and short the clk line on boot, some boards have special test points for that.
Some devices have boot config resistors, if you find the right ones you may enforce booting to sdcard instead of flash.
(I've tried #1)

FWIW, I've never had any success with any "EDL cable" on any device, but that could be entirely due to timing/incompetence on my part.
A few devices I've been able to find EDL test points.
On some non-Qualcomm devices I have gotten to ROM bootloader by using a 100 ohm resistor (for safety, instead of a dead short) from some random test point near eMMC to ground.

Hey @Renate the cable works on my OnePlus (which, also, has a key sequence to do it, making the cable superfluous), so I know that isn't the issue here. I just don't want to unglue the phone and risk breaking something just to play. Once the battery becomes useless and that's inevitable, then I'll probably become a MB-shortin'-mo-fo.

Hey! I was waiting on my EDL cable. I just tried it... no dice. No dice at all. I believe I've exhausted all non-intrusive tricks in the book, the next step is cleanly desoldering the EM shield over the processor and flash/RAM combo ICs.
Since the device is out of warranty anyway, I'll try for a repair shop to desolder it, as the only powerful-enough heat source I have is a large heat gun blowing 150°C, 450°C or 600°C air. Other than that I have a 60W soldering iron, I doubt that'll be enough.
The only problem with the desoldering is that the EM shield is part of the cooling solution for the processor/RAM/Flash ICs. It will need to be reapplied.
Edit: I made a thread on the e.foundation forums listing everything I tried: https://community.e.foundation/t/bo...and-wont-boot-am-i-out-of-luck/43362?u=awilen

TIL “fastboot oem qcom-on” and “fastboot oem qcom-off” are a thing.

For my part, to this day I cannot find a way to access this mode, I still have my theories, since on one page I found "official" diagrams of this motorola and the phrase "EDL" is indicated at various points, but I don't really know how to interpret them on the motherboard, I'll leave the link in case someone wants to review it, it's from a Brazilian page:
Motorola_Moto_G_5G XT2075 - LEMCELL.COM.BR.zip
drive.google.com
In that one there are several files, with more technical specifications, in case someone wants to review it and see what they find useful out there, to see if it is possible to reach EDL mode on this model.

The missing connector I shot in my photos is a JTAG connector. Make of that what you will.
I have desoldered the EMI shield above the SoC/eMCP area and there's no dice there either. The traces are hidden, the parts are BGAs, there's no "pin" to short there. The schematics may or may not have confirmed my suspicion the physical trace for the clock signal to the eMCP is unreachable, making reaching EDL mode through "PBL panic from not being able to access the flash" impossible.
The SMDs around the eMCP may or may not seem to all be related to power delivery smoothing, and shorting those is blue smoke waiting to happen. I'll resolder the shield later, I don't think there's any point in desoldering it in the future for the purpose of reaching EDL mode.
There are official blankflash utilities freely available. I have no doubt EDL mode is accessible. This connector must be just how.

BREAKTHROUGH TIME! I GOT INTO QCOM 9008 MODE!
In the attached photo are the EDL pads. Happy flashing!
Edit: now I'm getting some progress, but nothing is working. Here's the two logs I get, the first just after connecting, the second after having tried once already:

Somehow it worked, I got to flash another phone's blankflash (a "Racer" codenamed phone apparently) on it and the ABL (the thing that tells me it won't boot because it didn't find a valid system) changed visually. Now I'll try to unlock the bootloader, or flash a system on it.
Edit 3: Mmh. After clearing that EDL mode flashing worked, the system is still flashing-locked, secured, and fastboot oem unlock <unique_key> isn't working.

so you activated the qcom, but it is not responding to the blankflash? at least it's an advance, maybe it's a blankflash problem or do you think it's some kind of board protection?
Later I will try on my own on my board

Congrats on your quest. Were you literally shorting them, or did you use a resistor? You had to touch all three together?
I guess I still am confused how there is a blankflash out there for this phone, but no way to trigger EDL without a hardware kit. I just ran through all the key combinations (V+,V-, PWR) and USB in/out just to make sure I didn't miss something... no dice to EDL.

I am confident EDL mode flashing worked. I used a different phone's blankflash that had the same SoC and it worked, giving me a visually different "No OS found" error screen. I posted the log of the blanking process. The "Allow OEM Unlock" bit is still set to "disabled" after blanking, such that I still can't use "fastboot oem unlock" successfully.
There's this line that makes me think the system is still intact: "Skipping UFS provsioning as target is secure", meaning the UFS filesystem might have not been actually blanked. Since singleimage.bin is a signed binary, there's no way to force UFS provisioning or modify it in any other way. I think the only way in will be with a firehose and QFIL... Except I haven't found one for this SoC. The programmer.elf is the firehose, but again that needs to be signed to be useful after getting extracted.

I marked two pads of the missing connector with a green rectangle (I reused the photo I posted earlier on which I had already marked the test points' voltages, disregard the test points). I shorted them with only one voltmeter probe.
The idea is that the EDL pads I marked in green are connected to a 1.8V supply and a pin on the SoC with "infinite resistance", so there's no need for an additional resistor. You are not at risk of shorting anything and cause a major disaster on pins on the row of the green rectangle. The connector is very small, so stab confidently in the middle of the row of pads!
The (V+, PWR) combination may be available in development units, and be disabled in production units at the hardware level (missing components).
(Keep in mind I'm talking in hypotheticals at times to keep up plausible deniability regarding the files posted earlier by supermafari2.0... Those are surely under copyright.)
Layers of security upon layers of security just to get a stock firmware on an empty filesystem on my own device... This is getting old...
Edit: I have, out of boredom, decomposed the singleimage.bin into its various files. Here is the file format:
Code:
* SINGLE_N_LONELY Header [256 bytes]
* FILE:
Header:
* file name: 248 bytes (name + "\0" padding)
* file size: 8 bytes, little-endian
Data:
* data: file size in bytes
* 0xA0 padding if (file size % 4096) != 0 : file size + 4096 - (file size % 4096) bytes
[* FILE...]
* LONELY_N_SINGLE Footer [256 bytes]
Do note the 4096 magic number is the flash sector size, thus is device-dependant. In singleimage.bin, there was gpt.bin which also follows the same format. Among the files is programmer.elf, a strong candidate to be a firehose, I'll try to use with QFIL tomorrow. I do take note of Motorola's attempt at psychological warfare.

So I tried the programmer I found in the singleimage.bin file, it's indeed capable of programming through QFIL! (Do note I needed to get QFIL through QPST to get it to work.) However now I'm faced with this as I'm trying to flash recovery.img to get to recovery and get recovery to reinstall a working system:
Code:
INFO: TARGET SAID: 'ERROR: range restricted: lun=5, start_sector=142688, num_sectors=25600'
I guess the programmer checks for the flash being in a locked state, so it's time to try to patch the programmer to force the flash, if at all possible...
Edit: guessed right. The programmer has a routine that does various checks. It isn't encrypted, but I found data that could indicate the file is signed. I didn't see either the PEEK or POKE strings in there, meaning these primitives weren't included in the programmer, so there's no way to manually poke any image by hand, or just enable that blasted "Allow OEM unlock" bit (the fact I don't know where it is not withstanding.)
I think that's the end of the line for my device. At this point the only way it will ever work again will be either getting a patched and signed firehose (unlikely), or getting Motorola to reflash a stock image internally (even more unlikely) or just changing the motherboard (which defeats the purpose of searching how to get the device back in working order after messing up!)
