[HOW TO] Recover from any hardbrick or red case in 9008 mode without ANY BOXEs
- Thread starter Awesomeslayerg
- Start date
I got a hard brick....think it may be unfixable. It says "press any key to shutdown" on top left in the tiniest text.
Tried going 9008 to no success. It does blink red when I turn it off. I tried the tweezer method but it just goes on and off repeatedly.
If post still alive, any idea how I can get into 9008 or at least maybe add it in?
**edit: I spoke too soon. I kept holding power, vol-, and clicking vol+ for a good two minutes. And it somehow got into 9008 mode. Follow instructions. It somewhat worked. Can actually see the "LG G7 ThinQ" white text screen. Though it just freezes there, but its a huge improvement.

Sorry for late reply.
Follow this bro https://xdaforums.com/t/unbrick-all...-not-turning-on-and-no-download-mode.4363717/
And use rawfile...xml with qfil
Wow this worked perfectly.
I had issues with step 9 due to having multiple versions of python on my system.
this was the command that solved it and ran the script without issue: python.exe -m undz -f G71011g_01.dz -c
Hope that can help someone.

Outstanding. I BARELY had the programming skills to pull this off. I've never worked with Python before and I only had VS 2020 installed to do a few simple things back in the day. I was able to search for everything I didn't understand and how to address a few errors that came up. In the end, it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for this detailed guide.

24Well guys, its finally here!! You can finally unbrick your device without any jtag,medusa, octopus box!!

FAQ"
1.,)My phone blinks red and i cant boot into 9008 mode at all. What can i do?
A. From what ive expreniced, you need to take out the back and touch two test points on the g7 while connected to the pc with a tweezer.
from another thread :
2,) I keep getting shara failed, the firehose is in the right folder and the xml files as well. Everything is in the same folder.
A. There are two reasons why it may fail.
1 Make sure you install the drivers correctly.!! Windows 10 has driver signature enforcment enabled on default so you need to disable that and install the 9008 drivers. To check if your drivers are installed correctly open up Device manager via searching it in the windows bar then go into ports and make sure theres no question mark or an yellow exclamation (!) sign next to it. If there is you have you disable signature enforcement and install the drivers manually. To do that you can google it cause theres a bunch of ways to do it.
2. if the drivers are installed correctly then you should try two things. One run it as admin and check if you can open up parition manager or load the files. and two is to reboot into edl mode by holding down Vol - and then power then once it turns off and on again at the lg logo, hold it down and reboot into edl mode again.
3.Red case:
You may have the red case cause you locked your bootloader by accident or you never unlocked it or something happened. Just use this guide to flash the abl file https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-partitions-flash-abl-t-mo-t4051249 then do fastboot oem unlock then flash back the abl for your android verison.
Requirments:
-A computer of course
-USB cable to connect your phone to the pc
-This oreo firmware https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/17341/G710ULM11g_01_NAO_US_OP_1112.kdz

Steps:
AA. You can download this, extract them and skip steps 1, and 5-9

BB. You can do it your self too ill leave them in the steps
1. Download and install python
PYTHON INSTALL STEPS:
a. Download and install python 2.7
b.Download and install C++ Compiler for python2.7: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266
c. Download and install thus redistruble
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
D. After everything is done installing open C:/Python2.7/Scripts folder and right click and open powershell
E. Type CMD then enter and then putF. After thats done continue with the next steps. And you can close that windowCode:pip install zstandard
2, Download all the files above and extract them into one folder. Make sure to extract everything INSIDE the kdztools folder.
3. Run the qpst file you extracted and install it
4. A.If your phone is already in 9008 mode and stuck there make sure to hold down and power for at least 10-20 seconds while connected to your pc and should reboot back to it.
B. If it doesnt boot into download mode or android at all but theres a picture or bootlooping or at fastboot mode etc... or at the white lg logo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__MY0qB1G8c use this tutorial to boot into 9008 mode. Plug your device into the computer, then hold power then down the turn it off and then quicky let go of power and press and hold power then rapidly press the vol+ button and you should be at a black screen and should be in 9008 mode. To check: Open up device manager and check ports and should say qualcomm 9008 mode. If it says something like qhubulk usb an theres an exclamation on it make sure to right click update drivers and search automatically on the internet. Otherwise youre gonna have to find the drivers your self online which isnt hard.
5. Once you confirm that you are there right click in the folder where you extracted everything open up Powershell or if you have it to set to command prompt open that.
6. In powershell type cmd and press enter.
7. Type:then press enterCode:unkdz.py -f G710ULM11g_01_NAO_US_OP_1112.kdz -x
8. Wait a while and ignore the warning about offsets and stuff like that and dont close it yet.
9. After its done open up the kdz extracted folder and move the .dz file it generated back into where you extracted everything and then run this command in that same command prompt:10. Wait while this also finishes, again ignore the warnings.Code:undz.py -f G71011g_01.dz -c
11. Place the rawprogramfiles0-6.xml's into the dzextracted folder it created this time
12. Now its time to flash, so open up qfil, you can just search it in the search bar on windows 10.
13. In the qfil window, select click configuration on top then firehouse configuration then make sure you change device type to UFS then click ok
14. Select Flat Build then in the programmer path select the prog_ufs_firehose_Sdm845_lge.elf file.
15. In the search path put the location of the dzextracted where all the files are extracted should be where theres a bunch of different bins
16. In the Rawprogram and Patch place click load xml then navigate to where the rawprogramfiles are (should be where dzextracted ) if you dont see it. If you do see it then shift then click Rawprogramfile0 then Rawprogramfile6 and it should select all of them. Then it should say select patch file. just click cancel on the patch file.
17. Click download and it should start flashing the files and wait till it done.
18 Hold power and down for 10-20s it should reboot and it should be able to boot android. It may restart once so it erases user data.
19. You should be able to boot into android now
If it doesnt boot:
You should be able to enter download mode now to flash fw with lgup
Lets Thank:
@Xsavi For finding the firehose file for sdm devices
@quickwshell for the rawprogram generator.3heres another link for the kdz if the lge link is slow
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=43498263122617284823
So your device is bricked? I can share the kdz and dz files. Let me get things together and I will provide a link.2For all who are receiving sahara error.
It happens that kdztools in windows extracts files badly (it happened to me)
Finally I extracted them in Linux and it worked perfect.
I leave my work folder that works 100%, so you don't have to install linux
