Today I though let's get cm9 on my nice nitro.
What did I do:
Rooted and installed cwm bytes version
installed custom 0.3 of kernelpanic
Today I installed cmw from the market and installed the new version.
Then I installed the cm9 but it stated that the sd card was not mounted (sdcard pointer wasn't right or something).
I tried all kind of things, but cmw would not work.
So I tried to install cwm bytes version again
[HOW TO]Install ClockworkMod Recovery The easy way
and did: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096 and dd if=/sdcard/_ExternalSD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
Then I did a restart
Nothing happened, nothing at all
No screen no download mode
When I connected it to the pc, it has some usb drivers:
qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008
Now what?
I am from holland, so getting it back to the US is not a good option, I also don't have an email address from the seller (ebay). I already send him an ebay message, but I don't know if he is still member or something (2 months ago I bought it).
Does someone has a solution?
The name of the windows driver is Qualcomm HS-USB Qdloader 9008
Oh ****, it looks like you flashed CWM to the wrong partition. Um, I think you're going to have to try to unbrick using a .kdz, possibly the SU640 one. My unbricking guide is out of date (my fault, but real life has kept me busy), but all the information you will need is in this thread somewhere. Please read all the posts, particularly ones toward the end of the thread that will tell you how to edit your hosts file and set up a server so that the kdz update tool will let you flash the .kdz file.
Edit, I forgot to mention this will only work if you are able to get into Download Mode. Please confirm if this is the case.

I doubt it. p6 is the SBL (secondary bootloader), I think emergency mode depends on it.
I cannot get into download mode, I only see ethe qualcomm driver in windows, nothing else. No screen, no nothing.
Your situation is not good. Your best bet at this point is probably getting it repaired by LG/AT&T unless aremcee or someone more knowledgeable than myself can help you rescue it somehow. Whoever's post you followed that told you to flash to p6 was horribly, horribly misguided. Unfortunately, as you know now, flashing roms the manual way can be really dangerous if you overwrite the incorrect partition. I'm sorry it ended the way it did for you...
Yeah I think I screwed up... I just wanted to get ICS on the phone, anyway.
How can I repair it? My seller does not respond, is there a possibility that someone else can get it to at&t for repairs? or wouldn't that be possible?
maybe ask someone to pull (dd if=) their sbl p6 and you could try to overwrite whatever is on yours now.
worth a shot, I know on samsung phones if this happens you need a .pit files, which will help repartition. I dont know if LG has a similar option.
what software do I have to use to get the new p6 on the phone, for samsung there is ODIN, but for lg?
See, that's the thing, the closest thing we have to Odin is the KDZ update tool and as far as I know they both kind of have a caveat of needing the emergency/download mode intact. I really don't know if there is any way to rescue your device without physically getting in it and reflashing, which most people are not equipped to do.
adb probably is no go as well huh? or you would see android/LG driver...
if this was another device I may have more ideas, but I have no exp. with LG.
{tell them you just hooked it up to Itunes to sync your playlist....an it went all weird.. hahahah}
Not sure how releveant this is but I think one of the Qualcomm Phone tools may have an option for raw memory read & raw memory write.
For example READ_MEM from address 0x0200000 to 0x0250000 (from a device with a working sbl of course) and dump it to a file.
Then WRITE_MEM and cross your fingers. Very dangerous and would take some research to find the sbl memory address.
A long shot more geared towards the technically inclined.
Is there someone who can make my phone work again? I can pay you for it, otherwise I will sell the phone, broken as it is.
My seller won't respond, so I have nowhere to go. If someone want to help me, you are welcome.
search an try a jtag solution

You know, you could always ship it off to LG. I sent them mine after having the EXACT same problem, and they fixed it and it's on its way home right now!
Did you have to pay for this? Do you have the contact info? Thanks.

Don't have to pay, they can't turn it on, so how would they know ? Just go to their website and fill out a warranty support form.

i have the same issue with my lg connect ms 840.
would you mind to share how to unbrick it.
i only have riff box here
tyvm
For the jtags you first need to check if the cpu is supported. If it is, all you have to do is disassemble the device, locate the pins solder up and go for it. Some other model may have same pinout. Just make sure it is same layout, and check if vref and gnd are in the same place. If successful connection is achieve, you just need converted files from box support. Send them full stock rom for your model. If cpu is not supported, it will take longer and will be harder. Get into the forum support of either, medusa and riff. For the OP, see if you can send it to LG but if you can't, someone at forum that lives nearby you could help you. Only solution afaik is jtag.

Folks, I believe I am close to unbricking my S3.
I was able to have it in download mode and the QPST tool allows me to upload .mbn files into it.
I got the .mbn files from TMobile stock image.
Problem is, I am using version 2.7b378, which does not have M8960 in the list of supported devices, so any image I try to load I am getting "Could Not Open Flash Programming File".
I believe if I have the latest version of QSPT tool I could unbrick my device.
Can you please comment on my experience and eventually give me pointers to the latest QPST tool?
Thank you in advance.

Hardbrick means that you can't get into download mode. Soft bricked is what it is, and .mbn? what type files are those? I used .tar and and used odin to flash stock rom back to my softbricked phone months ago. Worked like a champ, its the only method I know of. If I happen to see someone else talking about .mbn files, I will let you know.
If you are in download mode, does Odin recognize it? If so, go to stock.
Hi, answering you both: download mode I am referring to is the one using QPST tool. I will post some screen shots later. Point is: QPSTt is a qualcomm tool that allows lower level maintenance. .mbn are the files to reflash the device.
I am not referring to Odin/ android download mode, but qualcomm hw reflash download.
More specifically, .mbn files are the ones installed to your other partitions. If you extract the otas or fw, you will see these:
aboot.mbn - appsboot
rpm.mbn - not sure?
sbl2/3.mbn - secondary bootloaders
tz.mbn - (ARM?) trusted zone
These are why some of us are always saying that when you update, if you only do so by flashing a custom rom you will miss out on some of the updates to other partitions. Only using Odin or Kies will update these. (I dont think even Mobile Odin does them all)
Hope that makes sense.

For QPST you might want to check with peoplearmy. I think hes done some work with it in the IMEI backup thread.

DocHoliday77 - Thanks for the explanation. In this case do you know how to unbrick the device w these files - which happens to be the same as yours? Would you have a .hex of you boot to share w me? I will try contacting peoplearmy. Thanks!
No unfortunately I do not have it. I can try to get it for you once I get home later tonight though.
That is unless anyone else has one they can post beforehand?

Man, if you could send me a copy of nv files and stuff like this would be of great help. I am in Brazil, w a phone I brought from USA, if I dont get it sorted out like this, I will have to send the bricked devoce to USA and have Samsung fix it there - will basically cost me a new device. No one here has a similar device, thus I have no one to rely on here on this situation. Thanks in advance.
Ill do what I can to help. In the meantime, if you haven't already try to get in contact with peoplearmy and the guys in the IMEI threads (in development section). I think theyve already done a lot with qpst and nv backups while working on the imei problem. You may get what you need there before I ever even get a chance to start!

Not to try and rain on your parade but I promise this won't work. I've bricked twice which literally gave me days to attempt exactly this. It won't do it. Would love to see this happen but hate to see you waste the time. Assuming you're still gonna go for it tho, good luck

I'm basically right where you are. I have the one .bin and several .mbn from my stock AT&T image. I just get an error that I need to switch to streaming download mode for flashing the .bin and NAK: invalid address when flashing the .mbn files. I think what we are looking for more than these are the hex files. The files we have now seem to be trivial from what I have read. How we acquire a hex is beyond me though. I've got a thread over here.

I hard bricked my phone.
Can anyone put the bootloader on their SD card, then send me the files so I can transfer them to my microSD and send them to my phone?
Would that work? I only see the i9300 files around. No one has the T999 files anywhere to send to the phone or am I missing something?
I feel comfortable shorting the certain resistor and getting to d/L mode just the getting files to my microSD seems the hard part.

If you at are hard bricked you will need to send it somewhere for a jtag repair. Never heard of anyone recovering any other way.

there have been different phones that have recovered from a hardbrick that way we just need the right files for our phones.
Sammy really seemed to surprise some people with the S3. A lot of things people were used to on previous devices, were new and different on the S3. IMEI backups and nvdata were included in that category. It apparently used to be MUCH easier to backup and restore nvdata and related items. I'd wager this may be in the same boat, and I haven't seen anyone trying to figure it out, save for those in this thread.
Not saying its not possible, just improbable. (Wheres that Improbability Drive when you need it!)
Also, a fully functional and compatible version of QPST has never been found that I'm aware of.

Same situation, only I have not tinkered with my phone. Completely stock, not rooted. I pulled my battery when it froze & it's been unresponsive since. Tried everything. I think it may have been trying to restart when I pulled the battery and it borked the firmware. Previously it had been acting strangely, freezing & randomly rebooting. I am familiar with rooting & reflashing as I have done that before, just never with this particular phone since the bootloader is locked. Please, anyone, I am very desperate. Thank you!
Hello,
I have a LG G3 (D855P - Made and sold in Brazil) that I bricked while trying to root it with LGUP (actually to downgrade it first). It won't boot normally neither enter download mode anymore. When I plug it on windows it says "Quectel QDLoader 9008". Yes, Quectel, I assume it's supposed to be QUalcomm. Software version is V30A. So yeah, I'm trying to find the .tot for it because I could only find the .kdz file here:
*I can't post it because I'm new* Remove " dot " and add ".". And don't forget to add the http thing in the beginning.
pkg02 dot cdn dot gdms dot lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FWDCCTI972GMA1Y8685CZCL/D855P30a_00_0118.kdz
Question is: Does anybody have the .tot file for it?
Can I use random D855P .tot file or some variant? If so, which? Like 10A, 20A, or 30A. OR, 30B, C...? Since mine is 30A.
thanks and HELP!
Edit: managed to get Qualcomm thing. But no TOT for it Also, If it try another random tot for D855 I get "No AP... try pmic first".
I believe this tool will extract a TOT from a KDZ
