Had someone I know have this happen. 9008 is an emergency mode. They weren't able to fix or get any information in or out of it. Some information found was to jump an IC connection on the board, but this is not recommended, will void your warranty, and the diagrams for this device cost more than it's worth to get it replaced.

What firmware where u on. If zva u cant downgrade. And from what i see there is no zva tot or kdz available. So u may be outa luck.
no, the problem is that i flashed a wrong firmware on my mobile and it ends with a black screen and no power either :(


I couldn't find a program such (boarddiag) can deal or recognize MSM8996 LG RS988 processor.

If u plug it to pc. Does it show qusb 9008. If so its hard bricked. I dont believe there is a method for repairing that either
yes its showing qusb 9008 :(

hope someone can find solution for this as my phone is still new :(

but u know, i noticed that some people they fixed this exact problem on other models, that's why im still having a hope that maybe someone in the future will fix it !!

Eventually. Some one will. U will need the orig firmware it was on so if it was on zv8 u need zv8 tot lg firmeware extractor and diagtool. To extract zv8 or which ever u were on orig only. To make a debrick image. Then we need a firehose.bin for qfil in qpst. If that method will even work for g5. It was touchy on g4. But worked on all but sprint i think just because we had a outdated firehose.bin file. I made a few debrick .imgs for g4 but again were basicly useless withouth the firehose bin. If u could find that there is a chance. Now if u were on zv9 or zva as of rite now ure outa luck. Thank sprint for that not releasing those .tots yet

You might have more luck in the LG G5 forum than the Sprint LG G5 forum. As you have the American unlocked model you might have more luck finding a solution there.
