Hi. Earlier today, I tried to root my phone using a program called LG OneClick Root. I was going to post a link to the article where I read about it here, but I can't since I have less than 10 posts. I clicked the start button after installing and launching the program and it started trying to root my phone. After a while, I got a message saying that rooting failed. Ever since then, my phone has been unresponsive. It doesn't even vibrate when I press the power button. I'm blind, so I'm not sure what the screen is showing. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Did the program I used somehow brick my phone? Please help as soon as you can.

Uninstall the app and see if it is still unresponsive. If not, follow this tutorial here on how to root your device. I would not follow those articles that tell you to install an one click root tool. The thread I have linked involves installing a custom recovery since the bootloader can be unlocked.
On the unresponsive part, if you have uninstalled the app and it is still unresponsive, try factory resetting the phone. This method involves turning off the phone, holding down the Volume Down button, while holding down the vol down button press and hold the power button until one second after the phone has turned on. While holding down the vol down button, press the power button a couple more times until the factory reset screen comes up. Use Vol up and down to scroll and power button to select.
I am bad at explaining things, so sorry if you do not understand.
Hope this helps!

Thanks. I'll try that link. I didn't install anything on my phone, just on the computer. The app I had did everything through ADB. I don't know how I would even uninstall things from my phone with it being unresponsive. I haven't heard a sound or vibration out of it since before I posted this thread.
I don't think doing what that link says will even work. ADV can't seem to detect my phone when I plug it in. My computer makes a sound like there was a device plugged in, but I can't do anything with it. I'm glad I have insurance on this phone. Hopefully getting a replacement won't be too hard.
Lg up and uppercut with the firmware/kdz of the aristo 2 may fix it. Never use one click roots unless its off XDA and even then be careful with links. Also that link xsavi posted should work just make sure to follow the steps.
I just wanted to let everyone know that my phone is working again. I didn't have to do anything to it. I had someone else look at it, and it turns out it was completely dead for some reason, even though it had been on the charger for hours and there's nothing wrong with the charger. For some reason, it wouldn't respond at all for me, even after those hours, but when someone else plugged it in and messed with it, it came right on.

my aristo 2 super hard bricked ...only shows up QDL 9008 in device manager and won't boot..completely unresponsive. Is there any fix? I've tried extsd card method to no avail. Please help.

LG Aristo 2 qualcomm 9008 unbrick
don't know if you were talking to me but if so then yes I still have it but it's completely dead and only shows qsb 9008 in device manager.
In device manager? You mean on window?
I didn't realize you had a bricked device to. I am here to help. I have been updating the threads as much as possible.
Does it allow you to boot into recovery or download mode?
Recovery Mode: Power+Volume, Release Power after buzz and Press again quickly.
Download Mode: Plug in Device while holding Volume Up button.

yea I've tried both modes but think bootloader is corrupt ..wont go in recovery or download mode. And yes it shows qsb9008 in device manager in Windows and in linux it shows qualcomm device. Probably gonna need unbrick image but phone is still relatively new so unable to find anything on how to unbrick it while it's in qualcomm 9008 or QDL mode.
It's not new bro. I've already developed a lot for it. If it shows up as that you can unbrick it using the .kdz

It could be fixed if you have the encryption used by the vendor.

I've tried lg bridge, lg mobile support tool, lg up but they won't recognize the phone..i even tried emmc dongle and it flashes the partitions but never comes out of QDL mode. I also extracted partitions from the kdz and tried fastboot but it won't go in fastboot mode or recovery or download mode.. I also tried boarddiag tool but msm8917_32 programmer isn't available. So at this point it's just a paperweight..lol. I'm gonna retry lg flash tool but if I could maybe find some way out of qualcomm 9008 mode I could probably unbrick it. Every time I plug it up to pc it shows as QDL9008 and every now and then it'll show up as unrecognized in device manager. I'm a newb to this stuff but I know that I flashed wrong rom and after that it never powered on again.

Again..thank you for all the time and help you've offered. I know one day I'll eventually fix it. Probably have to send it in but hoping I can do it myself with QFIL. Any idea of test points on LG Aristo 2..?

Well QDL9008 stands for Qualcomm Download Mode 9008. I think. I'll try to get some research in and let u know what I find. Maybe the bootloader is the only thing that's bricked because the bootloader is Qualcomm based and what not.

you are absolutely right. Can anyone do an adb dump of their aristo2..? maybe I can flash that onto extsd card and boot from there..?
I wish I could help you there but all I have is 1.8 GB Chromebook. Very crappy. I'll PM some people to see if I can get an ADB dump for you:fingers-crossed:.

Hello, I have also bricked my Aristo 2. I have been looking all over online about what to do. The QPST, QFIL shows up a lot. I've parsed my GPT file, all that good stuff. But I can't find a way to make a proper emmc firehose.mbn. I've tried many other methods to no avail. Bootable SD, Chimera, CS tool, etc. Do I am very interested as well. My device shows in the Windows device manager as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. But, it shows up. I even have a dump I made before this happened through LGUP Dev mode, but I can't get it back on there.
Help me. I kinda like that phone

You need an emmc dump? Like the emmc that TWRP generates from a backup? Let me know because I think I can help you with that.
Yes, I believe so, I sure will try it. I didn't get one off the dump from LGUP
