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.

Good for you!!hahaha

Lot of us root our 4.2.2 and flashed a freedom recovery and were very happy until we come to know the fact that we cannot update to Kitkat any more.
some successfully flashed the KDZ in a normal flash way but others were the victims of CDC serial driver.
that was the HISTORY
Lets catch the ear from the other way round.
this is a TOT flash method which says bye bye to cdc driver
i'm going to share the link of the guy who did all the hard work i'm only the contributing some of my efforts here.
the link
http://www.lgbbs.net/thread-3-1-1.html
this link will give a detail tutorial. if you allready flashed all the drivers, do not do it again.
you can download the TOT file from here
https://mega.co.nz/#!7wBnkCKR!zT19XISIhlrP3-ZN24TF5RFeFVOt1vOlOHdPl-lYE4o
DLL file is attached in the post.
LG Flashtool 2014 sometimes becomes headache to find on the net. good news! file attached follow the installing instructions
https://www.dropbox.com/s/da13ysxmhikxpdc/LGFlashTool_1.8.1.1023.zip?dl=0
those unfortunate you can't get into download mode, somehow have to fix that first. no download mode, no flash.
Happy flashing guys of D958 varient.
ENJOY KITKAT
other varients who are struggling with 4.2.2 JB, try and get your TOT file
it should be something like this. cut past the file link in google and see if you can find your download
http://www.vungoc-mobile.com/index.php/section-blog/53-use
PS: copy both dll and tot file in
c:/lg/flashtool folder
Where to put that dll?

[/COLOR]Can someone send here a pic of good download mode please[/QUOTE]
there is no good download mode or bad download mode. simply download mode
switch off the mobile, keep volume up pressed and put the usb cable untill download mode appears.
Thank you for tutorial
Why couldn't you take updates? Is it just the D958?
please re share tot file
Hi, I am happy to see that discussions about Flex are not dead! I am one of the unfortunate guys who have got no more download, no more recovery. I understood that the only way to fix it is to force the phone into an almost-bricked state by shorting some pins, then to deal directly within the internal sdcard. Is there anybody who can teach me WHAT to short? A photo with be great.

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

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

Wow nice. Now to test this on T-Mobile!! Let the flashing commence
Don't think this is a good idea; from what has been communicated the Modem for T-Mobile is different or has a different signature; you might end up with a brick. We we obviously won't find out unless we try. The problem is... you don't have an image to re-flash the T-Mobile version, so you might have to send it in.
im tempted to run this today on the tmobile model. how high is the risk of hard brick? will it leave me without fastboot if it doesnt work?

apparently the flash to 9.0.5 in the other thread overwrites the modem anyway. its the criticals that dont overwrite. worst case im within my 14 days still, can alwasy return

It's not how this tool works. A raw dump doesn't equal a flashable fastboot dump doesn't equal a msmdownloadtool ops file.
Edit: apparently you can't use the not equals symbol. I wrote a lengthy reply and it's gone. I'll write a shorter version.
My assumption is there is no version for the T-Mobile, but this will work for a full conversion. OP support will most likely not use this on the T-Mobile version and it's why we had to void our warranty when we unlocked the bootloader. They probably defer you to T-Mobile if you brick your phone. Now that being said, I bet this tool works just fine on the T-Mobile version and will turn it into a full international device capable of OTA updates and everything.

One of three things will happen.
One, it will recognize it as the wrong device and won't flash at all.
Two, it will flash and you'll have a hard brick.
Three, it will flash and you'll have a fully converted International version.
If you have to return it to TMobile, you shouldn't have any issues returning it. A dead device is a dead device, the reps don't care. Also getting your new one unlocked should be no issue as all since you already had your first device unlocked. Just tell support that. Your device was unlocked and you had to RMA it. They will SIM unlock no problem. You will still have to wait 7 days for the unlock bin.

it fails, they do have a signature difference after all, I'm thinking we have to flash criticals/persist before this would work...maybe.

This tool can be used to revive a bricked OP6T and remove the 'Device is corrupt' error message on boot.
Contains the latest MsmDownloadTool v4.0.58 and OOS v9.0.5 and is compatible with the non T-mobile international models (T-mobile compatibility currently unknown).
Make sure that your phone is switched off.
Open device manager on your Windows PC.
Press and hold the Volume Up & Volume Down buttons then connect to your PC using your data cable.
Once the device is connected to your Windows PC, check if the phone is being recognized (Other > QUSB_BULK or Ports > Qualcomm).
If showing as Other > QUSB_BULK either wait for Windows to install the Qualcomm driver or download the driver below and install.
Run MsmDownloadTool V4.0_factory.exe and click Start.
NOTE: This will completely wipe your device and relock your bootloader.

Sad days... Appreciate the risks you've taken tho!!
I'm new to all of this so I tried to follow a tutorial I just found online. The tutorial was on the androidexplained website.
I followed everything and at the end the phone turned on and I was going through the set up. But it got stuck on the looking for updates part. I tried restarting the phone and now it won't even turn on. It only shows a message that says "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed.
I can access download mode by holding down the vol. down and bixby buttons and plugging the usb cable into a pc, but I can't do anything after that. I tried redoing the thing with odin again, but it shows "Fail".
Please help.

If it's not hard, could you give me a few links and clear cut steps to do this? Or can I just google official rom and get it? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
go and download the firmware on the sammobile website....

you should search on xda instead of on random sites.
1- learn to differentiate the different note 9 models
2- once you have learned this skill, apply the appropriate fix:
2.a-either flash back stock if you are on a north americian model
2.b-continue rooting process accordingly by following the Dr. ketan root oem fix in the guides section of this forum if you are on an international variant.
2.c-if you have a Chinese or south American version, head on over to the snapdragon rom development section.
how to achieve the above is all documented. just search and read the available info on xda.
Thanks for the help everyone, I downloaded the official ROM and flashed it with odin and my phone's working perfectly fine!
