bricked LG V10

Since you are in that mode just follow the steps from the OP
Edit: Download the file needed from here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B983IxyvSENeTWVldWM4ZzU0TXc
thanks, ill try this but do you have a link to that stock firmware ? the strange thing is that sometimes it goes in download mode like when i put it in the freezer for 2 or so minutes and i downloaded the 20e firmware but it wont flash via LGUP, keeps saying something like "Antiroll back version is less than device version etc".....whenever the phone goes back to normal temperature and connects to the pc holding the volume up, it doesnt go download mode, only connects as QHSUSB_BULK.....any explanation on all this ? possible hardware issue ? or currupt partitions thats causing it?

The original firmware to it is at this link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B983IxyvSENeYkZmbjNpM0VwbzA plus I think that might be a hardware issue

thanks for the reply, I wasnt actually flashing something to the phone whist its bricked, i was updating and i guess it got interrupted, but it doesnt boot to recovery any at all.....sometimes i power on it comes to LG logo then turn off back,it doesnt continue looping like the previous V10 i had from verizon...im really confuse plus i cant really send back the phone to t-mobile as im not entirely the original owner and im in another country (Jamaica)...

Just turn phone completely off then hold volume up as soon as you plug the charger in to go to download mode and flash the stock KDZ. Or follow the steps in the OP since that method is said to work if you are in the "new" 9008 mode which you are

Sorry for off topic, somewhere I read that models starting with 501K are generally starting to be f....up . Se guess LG has got on us this time. My V10 is completely dead. Tungkick tried to help me , but hardware issue in 99% . Thank you Tungkick.
Forever who may try to get out of that's mode. Wish you good luck.
Signing out from LG .......

Dunno, you've given no detail about the sort of "halp" you desire. I'm certainly not qualified to give mental help.


Note, these instructions are using experimental tools that have unverified reliability. They should work, but I don't have sample hardware in front of me to test. I'm also making theories based upon what I've observed of various tools and these theories may very well be wrong.

On the presumption you've got a H960A in 9008 mode, I may be able to provide some suggestions. Two resources are needed. First, get the appropriate KDZ file for your device (URLs for most devices are here). Since you've mentioned a H960A that would be this file.

Second, get a copy of my KDZ tools from here (this file). This will need Python installed.

Run these commands (adjust paths as appropriate for where you've downloaded things to):
Code:
> unkdz -f H960A20b_00_0817.kdz -s 0
> undz -f kdzextracted/H960A20b_00.dz -i
While the file "dzextracted/image.img" will be rather larger than the one tungkick provided for the H901, that is due to it being rather more complete. Only the first 1GB or so needs to be loaded onto a SD card, plug that into your phone and that should be sufficient to get your phone into download mode.


I'm left with a bunch of speculation based upon what has been described. Pretty clearly it appears Qualcomm's firmware is capable of booting from either an internal eMMC chip, or an external SD card (they're basically the same thing). I'm left wondering if it can be caused to boot from external SD even if the internal eMMC is valid. This could be extremely helpful for development since you could load your beta image onto a SD card and boot from there and not have to risk the internal memory.

I had thought the images produced might work, but seems I have to admit failure on this. :( My one suggestion is, make sure you're using a KDZ which matches the firmware version of your phone. Could be that must match exactly. Otherwise my theories have failed. :(

I wonder if anyone can help me with this issue I am having. I used the SD card with the image written on it to finally boot my phone. I attempted to flash a new rom to fix the boot problem but that did not help - the phone still needs the SD card to boot. I tried flashing stock boot.img and system.img in case those partitions were the ones messed up and that did not help. I assume that its partition related because the SD card basically just has all of the relevant Android partitions on it and the phone uses those to boot instead of its own damaged ones but that doesn't explain why flashing new ones doesn't fix it. My computer temporarily doesn't have access to LGUP or LG Bridge and such I can't flash a kdz. I might be able to borrow someone else's comp to attempt that. Any other suggestions on what the issue is?

Edit: I managed to borrow someone else's computer and flash the kdz for 20L and it managed to boot up just fine after that without the SD card with the image. I still want to know what the issue was for the future.

As mentioned 2 posts above your post, almost certainly not. I'm speculating it might be possible if you had a very fast SD-card, but so far there are no reports of this trick working with a SD-card of less than 32GB.
a friend try this method with a sd card 16gb and he can mode download in your lg v10 h901.

Worked with my 128 pny SD card

I tried several other cards ( I work in cell phone repair) since I have plenty, but the were all less than 32gb. I had no success. I saw some posts that stated to try with 32gb or bigger. I did so with my PNY 128gb which im sure is a knock off and to my surprise it worked!
