Point in the right direction after fixing LG G4 hard brick (details inside) - Verizon LG G4

Background Information
So my G4 was hardbricked (won't turn on, no download mode, QUALCOMM 9008 when plugged into PC) because I was trying to return to stock after I had flashed a modified stock ROM on xda using the LG Flash Tool with the 13b(?) KDZ (this was around 2016) but I was recently able to fix it following the guide from gsm developers
However, upon turning on the phone there are some odd things that I've noticed:
It's really really slow, to the point where the only way to turn on/off the screen is to double tap it. Using the power button will make the phone hang resulting in having to pull out the battery to get it to turn on again.
The camera does not work
Upon booting the phone, on the top left side of the screen there is: "secure booting error! error code: 1006 OFFICIAL". From what I've read the other people's devices gets stuck here but for me it does not.
Unable to use LG Flash Tool or LG UP to flash 13b. (LG Flash doesn't detect phone neither does LG UP)
So all in all:
Where do I go from here?
What firmware is the most ideal if I want to root/unlock bootloader etc. (13b?)
Which flash tool do I use? (LG Flash Tool or LG UP)
Why is it running slow?
I really don't want to Hardbrick it again

I was able to figure it out. If anyone is going through the same thing, make sure that whenever you install new drivers, restart your computer, I plugged everything back in and LG UP was able to detect it and I was able to return to stock. The G4 is now unlocked running Lineage OS 15.1 with root. Just make sure to carefully follow instructions.

[Q] i need help to unbrick my lg g2 ls980, it´s dead

Hi,
i having a big issue with my lg g2, i killed my phone , this is what i did :
i have a lg g2 vs980 and another one ls980, so i put on the vs980 the cloudy g3 to get the phone like the lgg3, so i rooted and installed recovery using autorec, and everything it´s perfect in the vs980, but i made the mistake and used the same files to do the same in ls980 after restart phone was stuck at : flashboot mode started udc_start(), then reading some forums i got what i though was a solutions using adb tried to flash a new rom and what i get was everything was deleted from the phone now when i connected to the computer a lot of disk images pop ups, asking to format them, and the phone now it doesnt show even the lg logo. when i press and hold the power key the red light blink but thats all.
can somebody help me please???????:crying::crying::crying:
Go look up the instructions on how to get it into download mode and use the .tot file to restore it to stock.
You will lose absoutely everything on the phone though.

[Q] Help needed with my LG v410

Good day fellow XDA users!
I've been playing with my Lg v410 and as you could have guessed - bricked it (while trying to install a rom
The problem: The phone is not booting further the LG logo and the android install
I've tried:
1. Doing a hard-reset, didn't work. After getting to the hard-reset screen - I double-confirm the reset and then nothing happens (waited for about an hour and a half).
2. Entering download-mode, didn't work. It shows the "download mode" logo but nothing happens.
3. Connecting to PC, fast-boot, adb of LG Tool can't "see" the device.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
There is no .kdz released for the V410 (thanks AT&T) so download mode is kind of useless. People have tried the LG mobile support tool with the tablet in download mode, some report it is detected. However, the support tool just says you have the most recent firmware and won't restore the tablet; it is worth a try but unlikely to help.
The only way I've heard of anyone recovering from breaking the V410 to the point where all you have working is download mode is by sending the tablet to LG and having them reflash it.
You can't blame LG for this, they've released firmware for the V400 and by all accounts support it fairly well. It is some kind of AT&T thing; same with some other AT&T branded devices I have. They won't let OEMs release the firmware for devices they peddle.
Your best bet to support this tablet yourself is to nuke the laf partition and enable fastboot (since download mode is useless). At least that way you have a shot at flashing a new recovery or other stuff if something goes wrong.
Good luck. Sorry I don't have any better ideas. At one point I researched a method to create a .kdz from images of a working tablet to deliver with the LG tools, but if it is possible at all, it is beyond my developer skills.
Om it's way to LG for a reflash.

Lg g4 bricked/softbricked

hey guys my G4 apparently bootlooped itself for some reason so i factory reset it which didnt help. This lead me to use lgup to flash the same MM that the phone was running from a .kdz file. Now after the flash it just stays on the LG bootimg screen and wasn't booting up. I removed the battery and put it on again and this time the phone shut off. I also have no recovery mode and when i attempt to boot into download mode it just stays at the icon and doesn't go to the firmware update screen so ive been doing some research and it says the bootloader is most likely the problem. My computer also recognizes it as the 'qhsusb_bulk' error but i came across no solution.
Can anyone give me some advice on what to do here...thanks in advance

[URGENT] Needs help restoring back my LG F400L

I don't know where to start. So I changed the resolution of my LG G3 F400L to 1080p via terminal. then I reboot it. The LG boot logo appear, after waiting for a while the logo won't go anywhere. the boot sound can be heard also when I touch the screen I can hear unlocking sound and touch feedback which means my device is working properly JUST the LG bootlogo covers up everything just like a curtain.
Another thing is, I tried to boot it to recovery to restore my firmware but it just won't work. My device has TWRP flashed by AutoRec. I used every button combination and tried like 100 times each that I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/f400l-recovery-t2960352 but the device won't boot to recovery. It just boots normally and stuck on LG bootlogo as I mentioned above.
Running to a dead end. I put my device to download mode (which the only mode that I'm able to do) to flash my device back to stock ROM using LG Flash Tool. After a few processes it stucks at S\W Upgrade part saying "Upgrade stopped due to an error". Just so you know I have the latest driver installed.
The stress and frustration really makes me want to bump my head to death. Any help and solution IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Please Help me.

Lg G4 H815 hard-bricked with different qualcomm soft?

Hello, (complete n00b here)
Several days ago I've tried to flash a 6.0 MM (from 5.1) to my LG G4 H815 phone. There was no option to do it automatically so I proceded to do it manually via flashboot.
I hard-bricked it to oblivion as in black screen, no response whatsoever.
While investigating @ the internet I've managed to understand I could get it fixed via quadcomm drivers (mode 9008).
Tried various "fixes" for H815 but was getting safari download errors. For some reason I tried a LS991 fix and it worked. When I started the phone it showed no logo but just a secure booting error 1006.
Still, could enter firmware download so I began to flash a lot of KDZ firmwares with no success.
LGUP shows my model : H81510H.
While in fastboot mode there is a note below (wasn't there the first time) with codes : 633 B46 or something like that.
While flashing anything it ALWAYS STOPS at 9% with a tot anti-rollback error. While flashing the code changes briefly where one can read smth like : LGLS991ZVA ver. 6.0
Managed to download some KDZ for that exact model, SAME ERROR. Tried to find / flash LS991ZVA with no success in finding a TOT file.
Also, managed to get ADB drivers up and it shows unauthorized in listing (LS991). Fastboot does not detect my device even in fastboot mode @ phone.
Please HELP!

H81510h is os version it is still at 5.1 I think....what may help is plug your phone in with lgup and drop the battery out of it then closes of LG up put battery back in and start LG up and find kdz that matchs your phone and make sure that it doesn't have anti rollback.....

Hello and thx for reply. I tried to do what u've said. It did something (I was looking for a while back). When I plug the cable back in, my windows 7 immediately installs quadcomm hs-usb driver (9008) and my phone acts as if it was dead. LGUP cannot find it in that state. I've been trying to QFIL the "proper" soft but it continues to pop different errors (using different QFIL versions). Either saharafail or some sort of download fail.
LGUP still presents an error (if I decide to "fastboot" it) @ 9% 0x2000, TOT antirollback version is smaller than device version.
How can I make sure I've got the proper KDZ without ANTI-ROLLBACK?

Thx again. Uppercut shows H81510H as LGUP did. Is it possible that it's somehow write-protected?
It confuses me, since during the firmware update on my phone, I get this small box below the picture showing wierd codes : 633A Bxx and when I'm trying to flash my phone, the code gets longer with LS991ZVA v6.0 and more other. It then stops.
Funny thing is, when I got the phone I couldn't even connect to the LG bridge to update it at all. I've managed to do it bugging the MTP protocol but THAT on the other hand prevented me from copying stuff / FLASH my phone to MM 6.0. Had to factory reset it back then and all went back to "normal" = LG couldnt detect my device but I could copy photos or stuff from it.
NOW, when my phone is bricked, LGbridge DETECTS my phone (in fastboot), downloads the newest KDZ update BUT cannot install it (same thing as in LGUP). Hence my question : is it somehow write-protected?

Have you tried to eset it by pushing power and volume own then when you see bootsplash then release power button and hen quickly push the power button again....
But in your case push power and volume down within the count or 20 then release power then push power button again and see what happens and then try the same thing on volume up......
Thanks for the reply.
I did what u've said. Despite no logo I tried to release power button for a second just after the screen's brightness goes up (I also get a small vibration @ start). Everytime I get secure booting error 1006 after a few seconds.
On the other hand when I did that with volume UP button there was no error but there was nothing aswell until I release power button in which case I got the secure booting error. All of the above tries were done with no USB connection with anything.

Do try with usb s well it may do something r do nothing......
Can't tell atm since I gave it to professionals. I'll wait and see how it'll turn up. Thx for all the effort tho, was nice to tinker with a lil help
@Longbranch did you solve this problem ? I'm in the same state but my phone model is H810, everything else is the same as yours.
Nope, not really. I gave it back to the reseller and my money got returned luckily.
The professionals I refer to above did install a specific firmware for the ls991 type. Firmware ZVB I think. The only one appliable apparently. Anyways, as I suspected the ls991 type is for the US and therefore it didn't work in my country in EU. My sim card wouldnt work with it. Besides, without the sim card, the phone decided to freeze and die after several minutes every time I turn it on. Swapped for LG G5 and it's working flawlessly up until this day.
good for you, what i don't understand is that it's a h810 model but now identify as ls991 does that mean you can convert it just by a Qfil flash? I may try another model flash if can't find a suitable Rom for it

Yes! That's what I and neutrondev telling everyone :
do not use qfil without the knowledge about the result!
The only working firehose file available out there is for the ls991 and that means if you use it it will turn your device into a ls991 without any way to get back to your previous device model!!

@steadfasterX since I have done it already is there any way to get it working even as an LS991 ?
here is what i did till now
the reason for using Qfill is that it went dead after flashing an H810 rom .
after that when it's in download mode it doesn't allow me to flash the ls911ZV5 ls911ZV6 ls911ZV6_12 roms that i found ( it says LS991ZVA )
so i went in fastboot and flashed boot/aboot/recovery....img extracted from the ls911ZV6 rom then it accepted the rom in download mode
but it is stuck in a hard bootloop ( reboots when it is getting in recovery but still has download mode yet no fastboot as before)
any thoughts ?

Yes it's possible. You can boot a h811 H815 or any other rom you like. Even LOS!!
Great right? BUT you are bounded to the ls991 modem and so you need to be in a sprint network to use telephony. That means the phone is now useless outside the US .
And you wrote you tried ls911 ROMs? I hope you meant ls991
I work on a fully working experience on every network though. Checkout my proof of concept for unlocking the bootloader thread
I can go into details on IRC if you like.

@steadfasterX thank you for keeping up with me ! ( btw what room on IRC ?)
for now I have used Qfill again and got fastboot working again and flashed TWRP ( not sure where ! ) so when the phone is off and i plug the usb it boots to twrp ( but it doesn't in recovery )
normal boot will show "secure boot error 1002"
then i flashed twrp img to recovery partition using twrp but it didn't work in recovery ( still reboots after showing Recovery Mode loading screen )
also tried to load some roms on the device to try them but I got error "file too large for filesystem " when copying them .
atm I don't know the state I'm in and what should be next ?
btw here are the recovery log and dmesg

Np we can bring you back to life but as already said without cell service. That's the price for the firehose and unlocked feeling you have now.
Did you found and read my thread here?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/bl-unlock-unlock-bootloader-proof-t3648288
There you will find some more info and also the IRC details how you can find me. I'm online from Monday to Friday mainly.
It's much easier to talk in chat then here. once all the details are known I will provide a full guide.
