Well first, you're posting in the wrong forum for help of this sort. This is for roms, kernels etc, for problems like this it should be in questions and answers.

Anyway, you don't say what firmware you're running? AT&T? Sprint? T-mo? When u say u replaced the abl_a instead of laf_a, do u mean u erased the abl_a instead of laf_a?

Assuming that's what u meant, just mention which version firmware you're running and I'd bet someone has an abl_a for it.

cheers

Oh thanks, i dont know how to send the post overthere, but i will do it, lineageOs 17.1. on a At&t lg variant, and nope, i send laf.img to Abl_a, and it was v35eng.img the one i need to send, i get distracted and after that, phone enter in that status, they tell me about Box service, looks like is the only method

I don't think you need any 'service'. It sounds like your situation isn't that dire. You could just send the v35eng to abl_a now. You may think you're stuck because the phone won't boot, so from the directions, to get to edl, the phone should be booted...

but that's not true. You can get to edl mode (qfil) from any screen. Try this: hold down all 3 buttons for about 5 secs or so. Wait until the screen changes (from whatever it was prior), then keep the pwr and vol - held, but press on off on off on off the vol+ key. Make sure the usb cable is plugged in pc when doing this.

You should hear the windows 'chime' sound indicating a edl connection. Then use qfil to flash the v35eng.

cheers
