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/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.

Unbrick lg optimus d415 from hardbrick

[UPDATE]
Does't work, It is late for me right now, will post fix later. Problem is program wont use .bin files, only .mbn files, so I need to figure that out, and find a way to get the partition table from a working d415, if not possible to get from the kdz. sorry fro the false sense of hope.

cant wait

Any hope...?

Alright, I started work on a C++ Project that i will see if I can reprogram the phone with. Hopefully, I can use the interface to access the "READ ONLY" part of the phone, erase it, then write to it the KDZ file. And honestly, if this works it could probably be modified for any phone that is hard to unbrick. Though I will tell you now it will probably take a while but I will maybe figure something out. No gaurentees. Though I will try.

Lg l90 d415 hardunbrick project

Hello guys if you have a hard bricked lg l90 d415 this could be your last fix... If you dont have hardbricked lg l90 d415 i would like you to send me txt partition file (of lg l90d415)if possible cmon we can fo this together

I wish I could help but I don't have a D415. How does one get the partition txt file to send to you? Did you try to extract if from kdz?

This was my idea all along. My friend and I might work on a program to extract the partition file and work it into a .txt format to use. Will give more info later.

yeah i know but i made this thread so people can help us and provide us some stuff if we cant get them (what i mean is that this thread is something like cm13 discussion is you know what i mean)the problem is that we will have to make a tool to unbrick our lg l90 d415 because the already made one will not work with our phone its not compatible. i contacted the developer that made the tool for lg g3 because the boarddiag was not compatible with the device....

LG G4 LS991 Possible unbrick for 9008 Qualcomm

Hello everyone!
I have a bricked qhs dload 9008 LG G4 ls991 and I've been searching in the past five months a method to unbrick this phone via usb.
I found a post in a forum that it seem that they unbrick one of this phone, the only problem "the forum it's totally in russian". I use google translate and think I got the idea. I let you the link if someone has the same problem and want to try the solution

i was under the understanding to this day that a octoplus box with jtag was the only way to fix this device
i havnt had a g4 in a few months so things may have changed but last i heard that was the only way

Hi and a very pleasant day. I know this thread may be dated but it's still relevant due to the fact that a lot of users like my self is still facing this problem in 2018. I have an LG G4 LS991 that I have mistakenly downgraded *not knowing the file flashed would be lower version* anyways, I was able to read full flash and have the firmware extracted and saved. The firmware version is "ZVI" which is the latest.
Moreover, I have read in forums where you can do a direct emmc boot repair via sd card. Only thing you wil need is the systemImage.bin file. If you know how to get this or can provide me with some information on how I can etract it for use, then I would happily oblige. email me [email protected]

N950U hardbrick...help

HI, I bricked my N950u after rooting with the SamV2 method for snapdragon. I rooted it fine, then tried flashing stock firmware and supersu zip. I know snapdragon is bl locked but I thought I could possibly do something besides hard brick lol. Anyway, does a rooted n950u that they could share a partial or full sys dump with me so I can make a debrick img. Also if anyone knows how to un/debrick please let me know and share. Thanks in advance!!!!
P.s. I know it was stupid to do lol
p.p.s. if your not going to contribute to the solution and or insult my foolish decision please keep your comments to yourself, thanks

You cannot debrick. What does your phone do?
EDIT: you probably are not bricked anyway. Actually you might be bricked if you flashed stock rev1 firmware instead. That would brick you...

Yup. Thats 100% a hardbrick. Unfortunatly the debrick img method doesnt work on this phone. Only way to fix at this moment is a carrier swap. Thats how I got mine fixed.

Long shot but... qfil / firehose msm8998 is the way to go with this. Can be done, the hard part is getting the firehose programmer (and maybe rawprogram0 / patch0 xmls too)
Isnt it supported by Z3x / Sigma / Infinity / Octoplus?
Doesnt that "aryk" site have a load of programmer files that could work with your device?
Failing that, JTAG / EMMC flash (pinouts should be around somewhere)
Sorry can`t be more help. I`m working on a similar issue with a Moto Z2 play atm
EDIT: I`m sure the 835 (what you have) supports booting from the SD card.
You need to ask someone with a rooted Snapdragon N8 to make a copy of the first 167(ish) MB of mmcblk0
Like this... (Brief idea... whoever does this needs to do it obviously from shell, on the device itself wether thats from TWRP shell or ADB in *nix / Win thats up to you)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Loader.img bs=1024 count=168960
Once some kind soul has done this for you and you have downloaded it, write the resulting image to decent SD card using Win32diskimager, place in device and try booting. See if the bootloader runs enough to get you into ODIN.
YMMV but it is a recovery method for Snapdragons. Weather you overwrite EFS / Lose IMEI I don`t know. Only just getting back into Sammy scene.
It is kind of like a failsafe incase of EMMC corruption I think.
I can`t help with this sadly as I`m Exy

Sorry maybe u already tried it but here in UK there is a **** ton of mobile repair shop and in some of them are some heavy dutie geeks.
Maybe look around your area and see if you can find someone with big passion for problem solving.

Just got my Note 8. But I remember hard bricked phones in the past brought back to life with jtag devices. Anyone try Jtag device or gotten Jtag service done to hard bricked Note 8?
Last tax season was supposed to buy 1, but car issues. I know they're expensive. But if they can fix phones with ease. Then well worth it.
