By Pressing "THANKS" You Will Help Me .

hi thankyou for replying. basically all im able to do is get into apx mode (nvflash), stupidly i decided to test the thing that i found where the phones with the unlockable bootloaders(23400) could use the chinese kdz v20a and id stumbled across that we could apparently unlock the bootloader. although we had the it saying it was unlocked we had the problem of the system acting otherwise, so i dumbingly thought right if its not actually unlocked i shouldnt be able to remove the bootloader and done the command fastboot erase bootloader and now am stuck in this position
i have backups of of the main partitions( APP and SOS LNX) ect but not sure if useful) and the problem is currently im getting usb write failed with nvflash
i cannot boot into s/w mode or recovery although sometimes i can connect to my pc and it says that a usb composite device cannot start
thankyou for replying i deeply appreciate it

There are at least two ways to get into SW, with or without battery. Did you tried both? Pressing vol+ instead of vol- gives you another mode, you tried? Try them all after re-install the drivers and with LGFlash Tool. Select all ports and see if you have communication.

hmm... as I know you full-bricked your device ...
you need to enter download mode by an external action (from PC) using ''usbboot.exe'' to load two files that will turn on your phone into download mode by the command :-
Code:
usbboot <2ndstage> <image>
for example (for LG-P920 (LG Optimus 3D)) :-
Code:
usbboot p920-aboot.2nd p920-u-boot_fastboot.bin
then flash the bootloaders :-
Code:
fastboot flash x-loader x-loader.img
fastboot flash u-boot u-boot.img
this will force the phone into download mode or fastboot . by fastboot flash bootloader and by download mode flash *.DZ system .
but the problem is ...
we don't have these two files (*.2nd & *.bim or *.img) those are nessesery for this process .
I don't have the skill to port/make/compile them ..
Try contact a good Tegra 3 Developer so every CPU family has its own files to boot .
If your device was from OMAP44xx family I could help you because the files are exist , but Tegra 3 ... it's a little new .
Good Luck

there is some u-boot.img and x-loader.img for the p880 here in the forums.i have my normal boot.img ect and even the contents of sys and the dev folder alll backed up also back nandroid backups if any of them would be useful.
thankyou OS_HACKING you have at least give me something that i can look into and a glimmer of hope. if i manage to fix it i need to learn to not meddle with the phone and leave any hacking to the pro's. really gutted as my phone is like my right arm,its with me 24/7 and im usually always on it.. ive had to use my old acer a500 of my daughter for now and its such a big change
@RuedasLocas
yeah mate ive tried both methods, the only thing apart from apx mode is occassionally it says there is a device that cannot start when connected to pc,.thankyou also mate i appreciate help from you both

In mine (V20A), APX doesn't work.
It was already hard to do something in V10x, in V20A the device is not even recognized...
Probably the best change will be using (or try it) LGFlash Tool or Official B2CApp to flash a V10x version, and probably the best
will be a V10A.
Don't forget to check if you're using the correct .dll.
Check if you have the latest drivers:
http://www.4shared.com/file/rPpP2btT/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN3.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/ZSMf2x6n/LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_WHQL_Ver_.html7
Goog luck on that. :fingers-crossed:

my pc finds it in apx and installs the drivers , also i can get it too recognise there is a device there for nvflash, i think that i would have to use Wheelie along with nvflash. when ive tried one way to revive my phone with nvflash it stated that the partition couldnt be found. which i guess is because im using the flash.bct and flash.cfg from ICS Bootloader which was extracted a while ago, il need to get them from the jb bootloader
ive got the u-boot.img and x-loader from our phones if they are needed
if not i guess il just have to save money to buy another 4x hd.i cannot see myself loving a phone as much as i like the 4x
thankyou

ive done some more looking around and trying different things, and it seems to even have the chance to get anywhere il need the following extracted from jb, the flash.cfg and the BCT and bootloader.bin. i found an nvflash that didnt give me the unknown device error but it stopped at it couldnt find the partitions mentioned the current partition table i was using(it was from ICS which i think some partitions was named different

And how can I extract that?
You tried ADB? Maybe (if it works of course) pushing those unsecure img to unlock the EUR-XXX can bring it to life somehow...
I'm really out of ideas.
I tried APX with several drivers but the only thing I got was a bluescreen and a computer crash... device remains unknown

I think that nvflash for our phone needs some encryption keys (SBK keys) and AFAIK nobody has founded what they are so far. They may be Imei or sn dependant. So I think you can't use nvflash and maybe its better to send device to LG service if you can.

thats what wheelie is for, also id have thought that if the bootloader could be erased from within fastboot wihtout an sbk and, which isnt as low level as nvflash wouldnt it be different,
remember i dont have a bootloader thats signed with an sbk or communicates to the fuse, i know that on the transformer (tegra 3) they had the work around of something to do with wheelie

from what ive read when you fully unlock your bootloader like yours its possible that theyve blocked nvflash, mine was done with the chinese kdz and i had it saying unlocked in fastboot getvar all but it wasnt saying unlock in S/W or within android its self
i think skydev managed to extract the bct ect from the bootloader so il ask him if he still has them or if not then how to extract them
ive managed to get the bootloader.bin. i think i should able to progress when i have the others, adb doesnt also work mate, as the bootloader is at the very beguinning of all processes except nvflash
could you look and see what your odm files say, they are in sys/firmware/fuse/ i think, thankyou
another thing that il look into is someone mentioned about enabling jtag or write access by bridging two points inside the phone, this would obviously be the last thing when all else fails i just need to look in the lg service pdf for the schematics

I made a copy of my "fuse" folder, forget about "secure_boot_key" cause is always "empty"...

I think that Nvidia have some specific android toolkits but to download them, you need to register, etc... I gave up in the midle of all that but, you can try it.

thankyou mate, as i said from when i first come to the lg 4x part of xda forums, your a good bloke, always helping people as much possible
after some more thinking,im struggling to understand why if the bootloader was unlocked could we not use unsecured boot and dexters cwm on the chinese kdz, and why was it saying unlocked in fastboot getvar all but saying locking in android and no unlocked text in S/W mode
what else apart from the bootloader can give the error of boot image signature error, and if the bootloader wasnt unlocked would it be possible to physically delete it, or could it have told whatever was saying it was unlocked that its erased while its actually not been but all link to it erased

i mananged to find my sys folder which i copied to my pc and noticed a difference in our odm_reserved files, which i think is to do with bootloaders
yours is
0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000040000000c0

not sure exactly what that means but strange
------------ does anyone known of what the load address and entry address is about,
bct file: flash.bct
booloader file: bootloader.bin
load addr 0x300d8106

Probably will be enough the correct driver for APX mode on v20a, than with nvflash try to rollback whatever you made.

[Q] razr i problems - fastboot menu

Hi guys, I am having an issue i cant seem to resolve on my razr i. apologies if this has already been covered in another thread (or 10, which is usually the way with these things because nobody reads the other threads) I have been through a load of other threads but cannot seem to resolve my issue so i started my own.
Right, I have switched from iphone to razr and am not stupid when it comes to jailbreaking etc so thought rooting the razr wouldnt be a problem. when trying to root it it failed and i am stuck at the fastboot menu, however, everything on the menu is disabled so i cant use it. i get the usual message:
fastboot reason: flash failure
fastboot max download size: 100mb
usb connected
if i try to use anything on the menu i get the following message:
fastboot menu disabled.
my phone is not unlocked and not rooted. i have barely done anything to it other than install a couple of free apps. i am unable to progress past this screen. the phone is GB and is on 4.0.4
any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. again, apologies if this has already been covered, none of the solutions i found were able to resolve my issue. as i said, i had no problems jailbreaking my old iphone, i am a bit of a n00b when it comes to droids...

Had the same problem, I used the recommendation in this thread, 5th post and it worked, but afterwards need to re-download apps from PlayStore:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36612151
Follow the instructions exactly - you need the drivers and RSD lite on Windows PC, then connect the phone via usb cable that came with it; and you'll need a full unzip program (cost) so you can move the unzipped files into RSD lite. Get the right flash file though - there's a list in the linked post if you don't want GB retail which I used. Important: this only works for ICS 4.0.4 and don't try to downgrade to an earlier version than what's currently on your phone e.g. v.39 to v.31, for example.
Good luck.

AW: [Q] razr i problems - fastboot menu
If the solution from mervluk does not work (It didn't work for me either) , you should try if you are able to use the fast boot commands .
To do that simply connect your phone to the PC. Then download fast boot , if you do not already have that. It is in the .zip from the RAZR I root thread.
The go to the downloaded folder. There hold shift and perform a right mouse click. Then choose" start a command prompt here "or something similar (don't know how the option is called in English).
Then type in
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboots you might be able to unlock your phone and flash the software.
BUT BE AWARE! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WARRANTY!!
So you better try the other solution first. This should be your last option.
If you don't know how to unlock the bootloader look in the RAZR I forum or pn me .

Glad about that. This phone can be a bit of a so-and-so. ics is being updated ota to Jelly Bean 4.1.2, which I've avoided so far to keep fm (although not activated on the supplied software). I did succeed with unlocking the bootloader (loose warranty - important) following the whole complicated procedure on Moto's website - but couldn't myself use the shortcuts on here. (Then had to set up again and re-download everything from the PlayStore). It required the Moto-supplied key. I then rooted, though I think the JB ota download unroots again? You can't use RSD lite with JB.
With JB the procedures are different, and a modified JB European (not for use with GB) firmware is now available on another thread which is impressing some posters. But I think just be a bit cautious as there does not appear to be any fix for the "service code corrupt" bootloader error yet. Looks like the options are very restricted whilst no-one understand the interaction between Google Android and the intel atom chipset.
I have a network unlock key from one of the commercial suppliers (cellunlocker.net), but haven't needed to try and use it yet!

Stuck on Setup after TOT Restore for the Sprint LG G4
I ran into a problem after I followed the steps to restore my LG G4. Now I cant get through the setup process without it returning me to "Set Internet Connection screen". I have a video of this happening but I'm unable to post the link because I'm a new user.
It still returned me to the same screen after I connected to my home wifi and entered my google account info that I last used on there. I also have a video of this.

Ive tried restoring again and got the same result. Also, when I first ran the flash tool I got a "DBMS" window with four options. After doing some research I found out that this shouldn't be happening. So I made sure that the new MegaLock.ddll was being replaced but i still got the same window.

You need to download a hex editor and change the header of the tot file from the LS991 to the US991 version. When flashing use the board DL mode, not upgrade mode. Hope this helps.
Search for 991 and look for VLGLS991 and LS991ZV5_05, change it to your US991 file name. In the picture i modified it for the verizon rom I flashed. Yours will be different since you flashed the US991 version. Good Luck

"Trying to flash" , what exactly did you flash ?
How do you flash it ?
Why dont you flash TWRP followed by ROM of any choice ?
NV normally contained in EFS partition, which can be backed up and flash from TWRP and QPST.
But again, your description is far from clear for us to help you.

When you flash using TWRP, did you actually managed to boot into system ? Or it stuck in recovery ?
Where did the nv corrupted notification appear when u were using TWRP ?
Prior to facing this issue, what you actually did ? I mean, did this phone work before ? Before you start getting this error, what you did, what you install, what you flash, what you delete ? Or did it just suddenly happen with nothing modified ?

You gonna need to ask someone to backup their QCN, take out the imei info, give it to you, and flash it using QPST.

I can't use qpst, because I can't activate usbdebug and the diag port.
Is it possible to give me a hand?

This is absolutely not a issue, that requires using Qpst
You simply need to wipe data and follow the on screen prompts. (You will lose all data on your phone.) However the phone will work again.

I flashed an altered rom, without success I got a brick I'm without recovery and without fastboot I just have a black screen and it's only recognized by the PC in 9008 mode, you have any idea how I can solve it?

Sorry that you are having these issues, But my comment was based on the photo that was posted on the OP. Typically formatting is the resolution. If you no longer have that screen available, you should contact an authorised repair center to fix it for you.
Otherwise If the phone is bound to your account, you could try what is listed here: https://www.mobilerdx.com/2019/02/xiaomi-mi-8-test-point-boot-xiaomi-mi-8-into-edl-9008-mode.html
Scams or Actual Fixes?
I have recently read about supposed hacks that according to a couple of Chinese BBS sites, has worked for some that require buying a specialised Jtag programming tool which cost about $60, that you use along with altered versions of following files: prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn.elf, mi8 persist image, rawprogram0, frp and a patch file. All of which that can all be obtained from here: https://romprovider.com/2019/09/mi-account-remove-xiaomi/ ( UMT Download)
Supposedly Chimera is another option: https://chimeratool.com/en/docs Again I have not used any of these tools with the mi8, I am merely sharing what I read about recently.
By the time you have spent the money acquiring the tools, it seems that you are better off just mailing the phone off to be repaired by an official repair center. Here is a web page that provides a list of official repair centers : https://www.pinoytechnoguide.com/2014/06/xiaomi-service-centers.html
Good Luck and try anything mentioned above at your own risk.
Edit: Have you tried the Flashall.bat method?
That should work since you are seeing the com port.

Hello, thank you for your answer, the mother is not linked to my account I disconnected to do the experiments. in my country i don't have a xiaomi assistance center, i get the error missmatching image and device.
There is no other way to unbrick without buying these tools so expensive that you mentioned

root cause of your issue is that you play with wrong qcn and messed up the nv,
wince you cant plugged to qpst, you need someone to make EFS backup for you torestore from twrp

You can restore phones imei if your bootloader is unlocked but only 2nd sim slot will work

How can I do this? Can you help me please?

You need backup EFS and Modem via TWRP first(better with OrangeFox). After you need Magisk first and some manipulation with QCN file via QPST. I will write it later

Maui Meta is for MTK cpu phones. You need QPST

Note 8 Pro is MTK Device

Redmi Note 9 - How do I restore my IMEI? I don't have a backup of my nvram/nvdata but I have the numbers.

How do I write IMEI along with baseband version back to my phone? I really don't want to risk bricking it again, that's enough stress for me in the past two days
I heard that I can only flash IMEI 2 back to it, and if I want flashing IMEI 1 as well I'd need to install a custom rom on the phone. So if that's a solution I'd love if someone could help me with it. MIUI 13 is slow and laggy af (which is the reason I bricked the phone in the first place, to install a better ROM).
But here's something, when I flash the phone's firmware through fastboot, issues start to rise (as per my experience with it so far), but through SP Flash Tool, it's alright. So I'd love to know if installing custom ROMs using the tool would be alright, if not then if recovery is required or if fastboot is fit for the job. If that's an issue I'd love if someone could give me advice when it comes to it.
Old post 1: (not my current situation)
"Long story short, I bricked the phone and after months, I've finally been able to repair it (downgraded from MIUI 13 to MIUI 11), but I lost my IMEI. I have the phone's two IMEI numbers, but I could not find any tool to help me write it to the phone. Either that, or I don't know whether the phone should be turned on or off, or if there's any special mode that's required for that matter.
Help would really be appreciated."
Old post 2:
"It happened after manually installing engineering ROM on it, now I can only doubt it's BROM mode that's working and nothing else, but I'm not sure. SP Flash Tool doesn't want to work with the phone since I want to flash the stock rom back. I really need help please."

The reason why my phone broke in the first place was due to flashing a misc.bin file after following a YouTube tutorial. It was part of a process to download twrp on the phone unofficially. Since then I started looking for ways to fix it until I finally found a post that had to do with fixing nvdata corruption (which was the error I had prior to fixing the phone) which helped.
So yeah, I don't think I can trust flashing ROMs on my phone as much as before, but I'll still try the engineering ROM thing.

So um...it bricked. This time worse than before. It doesn't turn on at all no matter how long I press the power button. It was after I manually flashed eng rom.

Yep, it doesn't show up as it's name or "Android", it shows up as MediaTek USB Port (COM3), that's why I doubted it to be in BROM mode.

Hold on, it worked now for some reason when I disconnected the battery, but it keeps connecting and disconnecting so that's an issue.
I'll try to reconnect the battery and see.

I always recommend a NV Backup before messing up with your own device, that's all I know.
Download the file attached here but remember you can fix only second IMEI using this method. Please don't try to fix both IMEI or NV Data will be corrupted again.

The guy in the video is using MIUI 12, I have MIUI 13. I don't know if that's an issue but someone in the comments said something about MIUI or so. I'm not a professional but many times when I see tutorials they're very specific with the MIUI version.
Also, I'm not sure how to back up nv data, do I use mtkclient or is it somewhere in the attachment you sent me?
And one more thing, my phone's baseband version is unknown, could that affect the process?

You don't need the backup anymore and you can follow the tutorial in the video irrespective of the MIUI version you have.
I have also attached the files that are used in the video.

The phone keeps rebooting when connecting it to Maui META. Like it shows META MODE at the bottom of the screen but then it turns off. Now it's bootlooping. I guess I'll have to flash MIUI on it again. At least I still have access to fastboot and recovery.
Update: NV Data corrupted after flashing MIUI, but I got a solution that hopefully works.
Update 2: After flashing MIUI 11 (along with some other nvdata and nvram files, i think they're just empty), it works now and the error is gone. But as I said IMEI issue's still there. Maybe I would need engineering ROM for this one? Although it bricked my phone before.
Also, the phone started bootlooping before attempting the Maui META thing, so maybe it's either the manual formatting of partitions or the files I flashed on it.
