You can use this tot file to get your phone back to stock KK:
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/AT&T+D850/
OK thank you for the file. However call me a n00b, but the file I downloaded was a tot file and the instructions say I should have a kdz file. Should I rename the file to kdz? The tool is looking for a kdz file.

So I had the same issue with my phone. I made a nandroid backup of my lollipop 5.0.1 and installed a MM rom. when I did it didn't work so I re formatted the phone and restored my back up, and I had no imei number, the phone said no service and I had an x at the signal bar. I tried everything, and couldn't get it to work, so after reading different topics, and random side topics, I found a soulution. after I re installed the lollipop version, I found the right modem.zip file for my phone. I used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041. download the modem.zip and put it on your sd card. re boot to recovery and flash the zip with TWRP. Than bam, you have your imei and signal back. Hope this helps.
Hello,
Can anyone upload the APDB & BULGInfo file, I need that file to fix the IMEI issue?
Thanks in advance
It's already in the stock ROM.
Under diagnose folder you find modemdb and apdb files.
No one is gonna give those files. They are unique to each device. Send it back.
IMEI is written on the box.. I remember there was a tool for writing the same to a Karbonn phone ROM (Considering both are MediaTek).. Not sure if that will work...
Can't remember the tool name, was really a bad tool but did the job well..
i have lost my imei number and i fixed mine

Just a heads up. Altering the imei outside of restoring is not allowed.
Editing the imei is illegal in many countries and as such any tools or talks about it are banned from this site.

1. Went to this known guide on youtube (can not post links) with the title "LG G4 - ILAPO (Infinite Loop Auto Power Off) FIX", downloaded the zip "lg G4 tool new" in descriptions with all the necessary files.
2. Run the LGUP and LGUP dll installer + install LGBridge.
3. Install UPPERCUT (though not needed probably) and update the LGUP8994.dll to version of 21/07/2017 in the lgup/model/8994 folder.
4. Connect LG G4 in download mode, run LGUP it shows port: CO version: H81520p progress: standby
5. mark upgrade and choose bin file LGH815AT-00-V20a-GLOBAL-COM-NOV-02-2015+00_RECOVERY_6.0.tot from the folder H815 Marshmallow
6. click start, in Step LGUP shows progress -> connection to usb then check dll then at 9% LGUP gives error: 0x2000, Secure device, But Unsecure image. Phone switches from download mode to bootloop.
Did not find any solution after checking many threads Read something about a guy trying to extract dll from the .kdz for my marshmallow version but dont know how to do and if it is known to solve the error.

A how-to guide of restoring a completely bricked Redmi Note 9
Hi, In this guide, I will teach you how to fix a hard-bricked Redmi Note 9 (merlin) and bring it back to its original state.
How does a hard-bricked Redmi Note 9 look like? it's stuck in an infinite boot loop showing only the Redmi logo,
Can't access recovery with power+vol down, can't enter fastboot, can't connect it to a computer either.
If this is your phone here's how you can solve it without the need for service.
Following this guide keep in mind that everything would be erased from your phone including custom Recovery or ROM obviously. Also the bootloader would get locked again.
(I mean at this point you either have a useless brick or a working phone, you are choosing).
This is tested by me, and it works as long as you follow the steps carefully and you don't skip anything.
(I did this on Windows 10 btw)
You gonna need to download, Python and the official Xiaomi fastboot image for Redmi Note 9. Also the zip file I'm attaching bellow. the zip file contains the MTK Drivers, SP Flash Tool, and some additional scripts like MI auth bypass etc,
Get thefastboot image from here select your version (I picked the latest global) click download scroll down where it says "type:fastboot" and click "download: full Rom" the file name should look like this "merlin_images....tgz" or "merlin_global_images....tgz", etc, NOT miui_Merlin.zip,
Get python from the official website site, I tested it with 3.9.7 but the latest version should work fine. Now, you have all the necessary files to start.
Let the phone's battery die so the boot looping completely ends. (else you'll get error STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION (0xC0050005) when using SP Flash Tool). ( I also tried it with a full battery and still worked so idk for sure how necessary this step is).
Install Python select the "add to PATH" option, you can test if it was installed correctly by opening cmd and writing "python" or "py" it should output the python version.
Extract the attached zip file and the fastboot image each into their folders.
Enter the MTK Driver folder Install the MTK Driver for MTK SP flash tool.MTK_Driver_Auto_Installer_SP_Drivers_20160804.exe, Reboot your computer.
Enter the python folder, run the "install pyusb pyserial json5.bat" when it's done close the terminal.
Enter the driver folder, this folder contains a USB to COM driver for MTK Devices, right-click the "cdc-acm.inf" click install.
Enter the libusb folder, run the libusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.6.0.exe file, click next,next...install, when it's done it would prompt you to launch "filter installer wizard" click finish, when the wizard shows up, select "Install a device filter" it would show you your connected USB devices,
Get your phone and a USB cable, connect the USB cable to your computer,while holding the volume up button on your phone connect your phone to the computer (Based on community feedback you might need to hold both up and down volume buttons AND power button!) once your phone turns on you would see your phone listed as "MediaTek USB Port" at the libusb filter installer before your phone reboots click at the "MediaTek USB Port" and then click install if you don't do it on time, your phone will get disconnected because of rebooting, try again re-plugging your phone. once you click install, You should get a pop-up message saying "...device filter successfully installed for MediaTek USB port..." click ok and exit, then remove your phone from the computer.
Enter the bypass folder (This folder contains scripts to bypasses the Mi auth) double click the "1ST RUN THIS.bat" when it says "waiting for device" hold volume up and plug your phone into the computer (btw: You can let the button when it's recognized by the script). now most likely it would say "RuntimeError: unexpected output, expected 0xfd got 0xfe", if it does close the script and disconnect your phone, Try the "2ND RUN THIS.bat" when it shows "Waiting for device" hold volume up and connect your phone to the computer, wait till the console recognizes your phone, (At this part it might take few tries to make it work, try reconnecting your phone without holding any buttons or try holding volume down while reconnecting your phone) Once it gets recognized it would output "Found port = COM3" and Protection disabled. At this part your phone has stopped boot looping which is good but, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE, DO NOT DISCONNECT IT FROM THE COMPUTER, set your phone aside, and continue with the guide.
Enter the SP Flash Tool folder run the flash_tool.exe at the Download-Agent click choose and select the DA_6765_6785_6768_6873_6885_6853.bin file which is included in the SP flash tool folder.
At the Authentication File, click choose and select the auth_sv5.auth included in the SP flash tool folder.
At the Scatter-loading File, click choose, go to the fastboot image extraction folder (Step 4) then enter the images folder and select the MT6768_Android_scatter.txt file (Fastbootimage/images/MT6768_Android_scatter.txt)
On the drop-downbox below the "Authentication File" label change the option from Download Only to Firmware Upgrade.
At the toolbar above click Options -> Option... go to Connection check the UART option and set the Baud rate to 921600, make sure the com port option is set to com 3, then close the window.
Click Download with the green arrow, now wait till it finished flashing your phone this would take quite of time, at this part DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING LET IT FINISH TO AVOID ANY CURROPTION ON YOUR PHONE. (If you get "Error : STATUS_STOR_LIFE_EXHAUST" go to options-> general and uncheck Storage life cycle check).
When it's done it would show you a pop-up window "Download Ok" with a green background and a checkmark, click the X to close, and now you can also close the SP Flash tool app.
Disconnect your device from your computer and press the power buttonto start your phone, connect it to a charger or back to the computer since there was no charge so it won't die suddenly now.
Your phone now should boot normally showing the MIUI logo, because its first boot it would take few minutes for the phone to boot, wait patiently and you would see the "first setup" screen.
That's it! You successfully brought back to life a hard-bricked Redmi Note 9 (merlin). A huge weight now has lifted from you hf.

If you did step 9 it should recognize it, try to reboot your computer if you didn't already. Also your phone would be visible only for a second before it gets disconnected so you have to act fast.

Your window is 32 or 64 bit, I use windows 10 64 bit and did all step, one by one but no effect.
Finally, done it. I found this:
- Hold both vol up and down when plug in so the device recognize.
- You must choose right fastboot image (origin stock rom), if not devices can't boot in to miui rom cause bootloader locked after sp flash
And at last, thank you very much, you saved my day.

There's no qualcomm version of Redmi Note 9
i made a mistake,when i clicked to download the fastboot at the xiaomi site,i clicked the fastboot link to download,but i didnt see that it brings you to a page where it has all the downloads again,so i stopped the operation and restarted it with the correct scatter this time.
Now im waiting to see what will happen,how long does it usually take for the spflash to finish?
Also at the bottom of spflash where it says 0b/s,emmc etc. should it stay at 0 when you start the download?
edit:
managed to make it work,one important thing for me was at the option/option,had to select com port com 3

Thanks i updated the guide including this
i'm having an ERROR notification : STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION (0xC0050005) help me
Looking for some info/help if possible: apologies i'm not trying to derail your thread.
I had bricked my RN9 but managed to unbrick and have it working ok now however I am wanting to restore it/lock the bootloader to allow for using banking apps. But I am encountering an issue. I had tried using MiFlash Tool but during the flash, I get a mismatch error and it doesn't succeed in flashing the Fastboot rom.
If i was to follow your guide from step 13, would this work for me? Or which steps do I need to skip in your list?
Thank you for any advice/help

Hi, In this guide, I will teach you how to fix a hard-bricked Redmi Note 9 (merlin) and bring it back to its original state.
How does a hard-bricked Redmi Note 9 look like? it's stuck in an infinite boot loop showing only the Redmi logo,
Can't access recovery with power+vol down, can't enter fastboot, can't connect it to a computer either.
If this is your phone here's how you can solve it without the need for service.
Following this guide keep in mind that everything would be erased from your phone including custom Recovery or ROM obviously. Also the bootloader would get locked again.
(I mean at this point you either have a unless brick or a working phone, you are choosing).
This is tested by me, and it works as long as you follow the steps carefully and you don't skip anything.
(I did this on Windows 10 btw)
You gonna need to download, Python and the official Xiaomi fastboot image for Redmi Note 9. Also the zip file I'm attaching bellow. the zip file contains the MTK Drivers, SP Flash Tool, and some additional scripts like MI auth bypass etc,
Get the fastboot image from here select your version (I picked the latest global) click download scroll down where it says "type:fastboot" and click "download: full Rom" the file name should look like this "merlin_images....tgz" or "merlin_global_images....tgz", etc, NOT miui_Merlin.zip,
Get python from the official website site, I tested it with 3.9.7 but the latest version should work fine. Now, you have all the necessary files to start.
Let the phone's battery die so the boot looping completely ends. (I'm not sure if this is completely necessary but that's how I did it).
Install Python select the "add to PATH" option, you can test if it was installed correctly by opening cmd and writing "python" or "py" it should output the python version.
Extract the attached zip file and the fastboot image each into their folders.
Enter the MTK Driver folder Install the MTK Driver for MTK SP flash tool. MTK_Driver_Auto_Installer_SP_Drivers_20160804.exe, Reboot your computer.
Enter the python folder, run the "install pyusb pyserial json5.bat" when it's done close the terminal.
Enter the driver folder, this folder contains a USB to COM driver for MTK Devices, right-click the "cdc-acm.inf" click install.
Enter the libusb folder, run the libusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.6.0.exe file, click next,next...install, when it's done it would prompt you to launch "filter installer wizard" click finish, when the wizard shows up, select "Install a device filter" it would show you your connected USB devices,
Get your phone and a USB cable, connect the USB cable to your computer, while holding the volume up button on your phone connect your phone to the computer (Based on community feedback you might need to hold both up and down volume buttons) once your phone turns on you would see your phone listed as "MediaTek USB Port" at the libusb filter installer before your phone reboots click at the "MediaTek USB Port" and then click install if you don't do it on time, your phone will get disconnected because of rebooting, try again re-plugging your phone. once you click install, You should get a pop-up message saying "...device filter successfully installed for MediaTek USB port..." click ok and exit, then remove your phone from the computer.
Enter the bypass folder (This folder contains scripts to bypasses the Mi auth) double click the "1ST RUN THIS.bat" when it says "waiting for device" hold volume up and plug your phone into the computer (btw: You can let the button when it's recognized by the script). now most likely it would say "RuntimeError: unexpected output, expected 0xfd got 0xfe", if it does close the script and disconnect your phone, Try the "2ND RUN THIS.bat" when it shows "Waiting for device" hold volume up and connect your phone to the computer, wait till the console recognizes your phone, (At this part it might take few tries to make it work, try reconnecting your phone without holding any buttons or try holding volume down while reconnecting your phone) Once it gets recognized it would output "Found port = COM3" and Protection disabled. At this part your phone has stopped boot looping which is good but, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE, DO NOT DISCONNECT IT FROM THE COMPUTER, set your phone aside, and continue with the guide.
Enter the SP Flash Tool folder run the flash_tool.exe at the Download-Agent click choose and select the DA_6765_6785_6768_6873_6885_6853.bin file which is included in the SP flash tool folder.
At the Authentication File, click choose and select the auth_sv5.auth included in the SP flash tool folder.
At the Scatter-loading File, click choose, go to the fastboot image extraction folder (Step 4) then enter the images folder and select the MT6768_Android_scatter.txt file (Fastbootimage/images/MT6768_Android_scatter.txt)
On the drop-down box below the "Authentication File" label change the option from Download Only to Firmware Upgrade.
At the toolbar above click Options -> Option... go to Connection check the UART option and set the Baud rate to 921600, make sure the com port option is set to com 3, then close the window.
Click Download with the green arrow, now wait till it finished flashing your phone this would take quite of time, at this part DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING LET IT FINISH TO AVOID ANY CURROPTION ON YOUR PHONE.
When it's done it would show you a pop-up window "Download Ok" with a green background and a checkmark, click the X to close, and now you can also close the SP Flash tool app.
Disconnect your device from your computer and press the power button to start your phone, connect it to a charger or back to the computer since there was no charge so it won't die suddenly now.
Your phone now should boot normally showing the MIUI logo, because its first boot it would take few minutes for the phone to boot, wait patiently and you would see the "first setup" screen.
That's it! You successfully brought back to life a hard-bricked Redmi Note 9 (merlin). A huge weight now has lifted from you hf.

Hi thanks a lot for your help. I accidentally flashed a redmi 10x miui 11, wanted to downgrade my Redmi 9 from 12.5, bad perfomance, resulting in your hard-bricked version. Flashing last fastboot version doesn't help, do i have a chance to fix it?

Hi and thanks for this detailed guide.
I bricked my merlin trying to root it (long history trying to get TWRP to stick)
I am now in the redmi logo loop and i am trying to follow this with great care.
however in the step above, no matter what I choose in "Yshasalger" page, i end up with a Recovery ROM and the file name contains the miui prefix as opposed to what you clearly state.
see image:
I am asking because i am scared of making more mistakes.
So i guess my question is if someone can check it happens to them (maybe the page changed since the writting of this guide)
If i should try with that ROM zip file or if there is another place i can get the proper one
I want to if possible to flash an older MIUI / Android than the latest 12 xxx / Android 11 as i find the phone to be really slow since the last OTA update.

That's because you are choosing recovery and not fastboot, choose fastboot as type scroll down it has two links for recovery and for fastboot image. Check the file name

i promise i am choosing fastboot but it ends up in the recovery i have tried several different versions in case it was a file wrongly indexed.
TL|DR
Python errors, step 8 and 12 on Windows 10
Go to -> "start" and type "Manage App Execution Aliases". Go to it and turn off "Python"
=========================
Now read....
Just in case someone has trouble with step: 8
Escenario: the BAT file calls `python` and in some windows 10 this will result in a message about the windows store (Even if the path is added)
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings
but `py` works, so just edit the BAT file and replace the call for `python` with `py` it will install all the python modules with no errors.
EDIT:
This also affects step: 12
Found a solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...arguments-to-install-from-the-microsoft-store
Go to -> "start" and type "Manage App Execution Aliases". Go to it and turn off "Python"
The error:
After editing the BAT file replacing `python` with `py`
