LG G7 ThinQ T mobile hard brick

[Pocketjam347]

Hi guys!

I tried to put the android 10 korean beta on my LG G7 ThinQ g710TM T-Mobile, and now it doesn't turn on, the laptop recognizes it as QUALCOMM 9008 MODE I just need to know if its trash already or there's a way that can unbrick the phone (really stupid I know)

Thank you in advance!

If the phone wasn't a T-Mobile:
May be able to flash v35.eng img onto the phone's abl_a partition (make sure this is backed up), then use fastboot commands to copy over the laf_a/_b files of the stock img. Then use download mode to revert back to Android 8/oreo.

May need to use, fastboot boot laf.img, to get onto download mode, as suggested here.

I tried this method 2 days ago but for some reason when I try STEP 7: It says "Extracting kdz to ..." so I tried to wait a WHILE but after 4 hours of wait nothing happened so I was unable to do the next steps
Does it matter if the Phyton says that it was the end of its life?
Thank you so much for your post tho I believe you helped other people

Don't throw it away, I think there's a fix with QFIL.

I'm having a similar problem, but in my case I managed to accidentally erase laf_b from QFIL and this has corrupted my GPT. Now the QFIL partitioner can't see my partitions. Can you help? I may need a flat pack or something? I'm stuck in 9008 mode. The bootloader was unlocked but I couldn't get into fastboot to install TWRP and Lineage OS, so I ended up trying to erase laf_a and laf_b like it says to do in the V40 Qfil guide. Big mistake. Qfil and windows both recognize it as a 9008 device on Com3, but can't access the partitions.

I got the phone from a friend and i'm in the same position. The method from Awesomeslayerg just gives me sahara error

See the FAQ in that guide.
Restart edl when connected to qfil or try different USB port or different PC.

I don't have another PC to try it on. I been trying other ports and nothing. As I use my tweezers to put the phone in EDL I press download and still the error.
I don't know if this phone is T-Mobile or not. The IMEI shows T-Mobile but inside the phone shows numbers for Verizon

Not sure what's wrong with your phone...
Once I got out of this error by quickly pressing download when phone enters edl. Need to be fast.
Try that.

To be honest I think it could be me just having the files in the wrong place or something else I'm doing wrong. All I get is Sahara error
