credits to those who found this out in other units
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i have found a solution for this problem
by reading other units solutions (even if it's posted everywhere, i just want to share this)
this thing will solve the:
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
and others
unbricking steps:
- remove sim card, and sdcard
- remove battery for even less than 30-20 seconds
- hold volume down, home key and power button simultaneously and put the battery, it will go directly to Download Menu
- open ODIN and DO NOT USE ONE PACKAGE, set the files, i used XXKPI with the 4 files, CSC, APBOOT, MODEM and CODE. dont use the ONE PACKAGE in this kind of flashing. i tested it but nothing happen so i used the other option.
- flash it, wait and done! back to normal.
i thought i should bring this up to the samsung center for the warranty
though i tried other options and experimenting
whew
thanks be to GOD.
Maybe post all the 4 files for all of us?
Luckily, I don't have my device bricked... yet.
yes, u should post a few of screens

One packages contains all the needed files at a single tar or md5 file while using separate packages you use different tar for PHONE, PDA, CSC, BOOT in Odin... There is not much difference these file are also included in the one package zip file.
Bull **** ! This doesnt work ...this tutorial only for soft brick

I tried every single thing after bricking my phone with ROM manager. Ended up giving my phone to the service center....Even they couldnt fix it. Now they r replacing the mother board...9 days over and I havent received my phone back...
same thing happened to mate, luckily the Samsung guys replaced under warranty, checkout my posts they might be of some use.

what the meaning by IMO?
if i take it to service..how much money?(around)
IMO (in my opinion)
not sure for the price
but u can try SEUS first
or flash to stock rom (i mean go back to stock rom instead custom rom)
for me I tried, but still "please insert sim card"
so I have no choice..

hi. i need help about my phone. i installed the "update-cm-9.0.0-Latest-X8-KANG.zip" custom rom(a rom about android 4.0) on my x8. but now i cant open my phone. my phone is working, and "sony ericcson" logo comes, and "xperia" script appears but then nothing happens. just waiting... what should i do. i have tried several roms before they all worked fine but this times this thing happend. and the Xrecovery is not working. i need help please. and sorry about my english.
ok mate, did you read first page carefully, i think not! MiniCM9 require custom kernel witch is build specially for this rom! so, thing is.. you must read about unlocking bootloader and do some stuff before you can flash this rom, ok!?
Read this
peace
well according to that you have soft brick
and you can repair your phone with PCC/SEUS
(pc companion/sony ericsson update service)
than try again
---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------
if you want to unlock bootloader read some bootloader thread( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225&highlight=unlocking+bootloader )
and i have made a video how to unlock it here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg8Q...DvjVQa1PpcFOPs10JNu7iAn_OrehKr32c59ptMliA-9w=
SAFEST WAY TO UNLOCK IT IS WITH FLASHTOOL

thanks. seus worked fine. and my phone is working. next time i gonna read everything about a custom rom
I possibly found that the lg g4 can connect a serial console when in fast-boot and android with limited access, and that the boot-loader is based on little kernel
codeaurora.org/blogs/little-kernel-based-android-bootloader
It may be possible to connect uart via serial and map out how the bootrom loads the sbl and (aboot (bootloader))and possibly find a way to unlock the boot-loader
newandroidbook.com/Articles/aboot.html
so far acessing fastboot with a nuked laf partition only specific fastboot commands work. can not get oem-id or reboot/continue via fastboot
console=
/dev/tty
/dev/ttyHS0
/dev/ttyHSL0
/dev/ttyHSL1

Try posting this in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/unlock-technical-steps-to-make-unlocked-t3165391
Or even the general G4 forum; the audience appears bigger and you'll probably be able to get more brains taking a look at this!
It's quite interesting.
Dude, I was literally coming here to see if anyone had tried anything like USB serial console the way you'd do with like a raspberry pi or a more recent thin client and found this thread with the search feature.
I'm glad to see that it does, in fact, work. I was about to pitch the theory, but it seems you've not only arrived at the same theory, but have tried it yourself. +thanks for posting the results dude. Much appreciated. Hopefully this will lead to some kind of progress otherwise I'm just going to use an upgrade to get something else and sell my G4. I'm really getting tired of the total lack of ROMs. This isn't 2008 where only a couple carriers have Android phones and the developer base is tiny. What company thinks it's SMART to create only one model that can have the bootloader unlocked and then NOT make that model available on all carriers at the off-contract price?!
I'm guessing there is no way to edit the LK, and implement these changes to re enable fastboot commands without it throwing some type of error due to the fact of it not being signed? -
To selectively enable any fastbootcommand on user/production build, add the command as shown below:
File: bootable/bootloader/lk/app/aboot/aboot.c
Function: void aboot_fastboot_register_commands(void)
structfastboot_cmd_desccmd_list[] = {
/* By default the enabled list is empty. */
{““, NULL},
/* move commands enclosed within the below ifndefto here
* if they need to be enabled in user build.
*/
#ifndefDISABLE_FASTBOOT_CMDS
/* Register the following commands only for non-user builds */
{“flash:”, cmd_flash},
{“erase:”, cmd_erase},
{“boot”, cmd_boot},
{“continue”, cmd_continue},
{“reboot”, cmd_reboot},
{“reboot-bootloader”, cmd_reboot_bootloader},
{“oemunlock”, cmd_oem_unlock},
{“oemlock”, cmd_oem_lock},
{“oemverified”, cmd_oem_verified},
{“oemdevice-info”, cmd_oem_devinfo},
{“oemenable-charger-screen”, cmd_oem_enable_charger_screen},
{“oemdisable-charger-screen”, cmd_oem_disable_charger_screen},
{“oem-select-display-panel”, cmd_oem_select_display_panel},
#endif
};

only prob is still oh never mind i do have a twrp lol i forgot kernals wouldnt be same we would need i thing the debug bootloader for ls991 which i actally read the other day on something trying to find us one.
in theory a debug or engineering bl should overite a qfuse in a way kinda thing device model specific but firmware versions usually dont matter or at least the few ive messed with on samsungs.
im in no way a dev but if someone could possibly mod one of the debug bls for us then yes may be possible because if im not mistaken the v20s are locked as tight as ours arent they`

Can this work via lg flash tool to convert say a ls991 to h811? Is there any special ools needed like octopus box?
I dont think we can cross flash to811. Ive tried askin that one may be possible with box but doibtfull
And sprint wont unlock bl. Only lg can. They would have to basicly give u the signature to sign ure own images. Unless they offer unlock when nougats released
