Hard Bricked G3 - no fastboot no recovery pc cant see my phone - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, today i installed android 6.0 on my g3 d855 then rooted it and i tried to flash recovery with AutoRec from google play, but unfortunately it was only for 5.0 so i rebooted phone and it.. just didn't wake up. Now my phone is showing lg logo sometimes. I can't get into download mode and my pc can't even see my g3. When i plug my phone with battery in it pc doesn't see phone but when i take out the baterry in devices manager i see " unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed) " . What the heck am i supposed to do? Searching for the solution for 8hrs and still nothing.
HELP ME PLEASE...
PS. sorry for my bad english

There are any pins at GND that i need to connect with or is just an pin? ( I did not opened the phone for now, im considering to send it to warranty, since phone have 1 year and 9 months of warranty... i mean, i bought it in november, you think they will repair it? Or will send it back as it is? if i open it i lose the warranty so..
And one more thing, where can i get the tot of marshmallow? Or which one you used? In the main post it says ´´ The tot file of the rom that you were running. (not older not newer same version) ´´

a. yes, this exact blue points
b. just those 2 pins! connect between them, and while they are connected, connect the USB. (you'll probably need a 2nd person help to that, unless you are very skilled with your hands)
c. i don't think any repair store will get to that level, but i don't know the level of support at your country... also, the process is pretty simple, took me about 2 hours of work to get my phone from really hard brick to fully functional rooted CM device
d. i don't know about MM tots... i would suggest using this guide: http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/ it worked for me and many others for sure! it provides you all the files you need. just make sure you have efs backup or at least know your IMEI number (which suppose to be on a sticker under your battery)

Also try another cable, 2 months ago I tried it, was sure I did everything correct but nothing...changed cable and boom

I have the IMEI on the phone box, i don t have any EFS backup, but i don´t think i can do it.
Wait, found something in my SDCard, i remember i did it time ago, this is the backup?

yep. this suppose to be the backup i was talking about!
but if you have your IMEI number so everything is good anyway,
you can go ahead with this guide: http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
i'm sure you can do it, just read it carefully before you begin and do exactly as it sais

I actually grounded at a common ground point the main pin is the upper pin if im not mistaken but i did ground to the frame makes it a hell of a lot easier and i used anlong piece of small gauge speaker wire frayed back with about 4 or 5 strands of copper and if i. Not mistaken u must use firmware tot that u were on before brick

I´ve soldered an "connector" to fix a side at ground and the other side a needle to exactly point the pin. "Connector"
And here´s the pin which must be pinned: Here is the Pin
And if you are opening your G3, just a few screws more and you can fix your temparatures: Tutorial with Video

I also reccomend the thermal mod i record at least 10 to 15 degree cooler temps your rite there any ways

Hi there, I'm in a similar situation: I shorted that pin with GND and tried to flash through BoardDiag (I followed this guide). That's a problem. Before I had this issue, I had a fully working stock KitKat (I flashed the tot with LG Flash Tool) but I made some mistakes and tried to wipe through TWRP and to install other ROM (here's my thread). My phone died. I just think that the problem is with the TOT I am trying to flash with BoardDiag.
My D855 is currently with black screen and no led blinking (only QDLoader 9008 mode).
Any help? Thanks and happy New Year.

while i connect the usb cable i can hear a sound like connecting to computer
thanks a lot
We would need some more information to know if your phone is truly bricked.
does your device show up via ADB?
does it show up with B2CAppSetup program?
have you followed the unbricking solution?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488
an important part of getting the phone into download mode is unplugging the usb at the right time during a hard reboot with the volume up held.
hope any of this helps but hopefully we will hear back with more info.

first of all thanks for response
no, it doesn't show up in adb (use command adb devices)
i can hear only the sound from computer (exactly like you connect true usb cable) but nothing on screen
yes, i tried the steps but ask to connect the phone, no usb connecting
@Maverick.Marq,
No, we don't really need more info to know his phone is hosed. Basically he has flashed a supposed CWM image on top of one of the bootloader partitions instead of the recovery partition. Everyone should contact these guys and tell them their guide is horribly, horribly wrong. They never responded to my email...but maybe if more people contact them about it, they'll remove their stupid guide.

LOL, I have no idea why you're trying to use Nero, but yes you are correct -- recovery images should be 16MB (16777216 bytes).
That's not the issue though. The issue is that you flashed something to the mmcblk0p6 partition, which is bad.

Hi
Hi Nickmatine,
Could you please confirm if your phone (LG P930) got unbricked?

@allians2002,
Unless he sent it in to be hardware-flashed, it's probably pretty much hosed.
I think I have the same problem

the battery was at 2% when i did that. since then the screen wont light up.
i am trying to see if i can charge the battery with an external charger and then put back to phone and try if it boots.. i am pretty sad about it ..

Nexus 5X hard bricked, stuck in QHSUSB_BULK

Last night, whilst trying to flash all the phones in our house with their respective Nexus factory images, I inadvertently ended up running the flash-all.bat for a Nexus 5 (hammerhead) onto a Nexus 5X (bullhead) by mistake. It got as far as flashing the radio and bootloader, and rebooted the phone.
And now the phone won't turn on at all.
Can't get into fastboot mode with key combination (I'm assuming because the bootloader for the Nexus 5 was flashed mistakenly).
When plugged into a computer, it shows up in Windows Device Manager as QHSUSB_BULK.
ADB and FASTBOOT won't see the phone at all.
Can anyone help? I've tried looking online for this but the only hits I'm getting are specifically for other phones, not the Nexus 5X. A lot of the steps to resolve seem to be extremely specific to those phones (i.e. - there's a thread here about the Nexus 5 but the restore file is only for the Nexus 5).

Well, that happens when you flashed the wrong bootloader image.
I remember reading about there being multiple modes with QHSUSB_BULK? Some seems to require images signed with keys from Qualcomm...
Can you take a screenshot in Windows device manager? Also try getting the USB VID and PID if possible?

Yeah, this is likely going to be an expensive lesson in making sure I don't have multiple factory image folders sitting on my drive, ready for flashing onto the various Nexus phones I have to 'administer' for my family and friends!
From what I've been able to gather, I had already come to the conclusion that it may be salvageable, providing I can get access to the appropriate partition image files from Qualcomm and the appropriate tool to flash it, and instructions! I've seen as much for the Nexus 5, but nothing for the Nexus 5X.
I can try and get some screenshots later tonight, and even boot up a Linux box to get some more info.
Perhaps there is an easier way...
There should be a "backup" bootloader partition (in fact, I just checked my 5X and there is one).
Perhaps try holding all buttons to get it to use the backup bootloader? But first you need to get out of the QHSUSB_BULK mode.
Reference thread for N5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/bootloader-bootloader-nexus-5-t2746343
And then if you managed to boot the backup bootloader you should be able to just use fastboot to flash the bootloader again.
Edit: Now that I think about it, it may be bricked on even earlier boot stages since I think the bootloader image contains them as well. Probably still worth a try but I guess your chances are pretty low...

Thanks for that extra info, I didn't know there was a backup bootloader (shall have to check my Nexus 6P as well!).
Unfortunately I can't get the phone out of QHUSB_BULK mode at all, so hopes are incredibly thin.

What if you hold the power button for a few seconds? Like more than 10 seconds? I think it should reboot the phone.

If it reboots the phone, I'm not getting any feedback from the device whatsoever of that happening. Nothing appears on the screen, no vibration, no sound. Even if I do that while it's plugged into the computer, I don't get the Windows 'disconnect / reconnect' USB device sound (if you get what I mean?) to denote that a device has been unplugged/replugged back in - which is what I would expect to happen if I power cycled the phone whilst it's connected to the computer.
Hi,
I am dealing with the EXACT same situation. Did you find any solution to this? I wanted to sell my 5X in order to purchase 6P and when the buyer came I wanted to un-root the phone and write back the original recovery image. Anyway, I ended writing the bootloader also, but from my wife's Nexus 5 (hammerhead) and not from 5X
Same problem. Tried a lot of qualcomm tools and the lg flash tool with tot file. Doesnt work.
bricked
Hey brother, I am sorry to say you are screwed. I just did the same thing to my phone two weeks ago. It seems without the bootloader the phone will not react at all and yes the flash-all script flashs bootloader first then restarts but once the nexus 5 bootlader is flashed the phone cant start the bootloader.
here is my thread i started with some responses but its all bad news
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/hard-bricked-phone-t3278033
There is a plus side for you that is not for me. I have called google and was 100% honest with them as to what happend. They told me they would not warranty me out a new phone since its my fault. However they did say because it is a software issue LG should be able to fix the issue. I already started the RMA process and my phone should be arrivng at LG on monday (two days from now) so hopefully they cover it under warranty or charge me something small to just flash the proper bootloader.
I will report back to my orignal thread and this one for others as I am betting as time passes a lot of original nexus 5 owners who upgrade and are used to flashing a lot will also make the same careless mistake.
Great news!! LG has repaired my phone and said they sent it back to me today. I have not confirmed it to be working as its in the mail but was told the phone has been repaired. So all you guys that do this while still under factory warranty can have your phone repaired by LG direct. Don't bother with google they can't repair it.
That's great news! I wonder if the repairing was done by changing the motherboard or they've been able to re-write the eMMC chip. Anyway, take good care of it
P.S. Did you told them that you wrongfully wrote the firmware from another phone or they didn't asked? I wonder if this could be considered that you void your warranty or not.

the bulk mode is the qhusb 9008 mode. With the right files a unbrick is possible. Unbricked my G3 also from 9008 last week.
But the prob is to get the right files.
I get the files for the flex2. So iam try if i could rewrite those files.

the bulk mode is the qhusb 9008 mode. With the right files a unbrick is possible. Unbricked my G3 also from 9008 last week.
But the prob is to get the right files.

Hy Apayah,
Yes i did. I tried many things, but i get the effect with otg. Found an older thread in which the people write to boot a smartphone over sdcard to recovery. I made my own sdcard. The card in a usb sd adapter and with otg to smartphone.
Then flashed with the lg tool, i thin it was lg tool.
The imei i restored with a dfu cdma software.
But i dont have this nexus anymore because i go with the old.nexus 5 again and sell the 5x.
regards

Hi I have this issue on my H791. I do have a USB C OTG cable. Are you saying you were able to point the LG Tool to the file on the SD card through the OTG cable/PC, then flash? Can you elaborate or point me to the thread in reference? I backed up my EFS partition before all this happened, so my IMEI is still intact on a backup. Thanks.

Thanks for that extra info, I didn't know there was a backup bootloader (shall have to check my Nexus 6P as well!).
Unfortunately I can't get the phone out of QHUSB_BULK mode at all, so hopes are incredibly thin.
I appreciate your extra info on this!

I found a way off QHSUSB_BULK that worked for me--with rubber bands. To invoke either boot loader when stuck like this I needed to drain the battery completely, and I figured that would take a very long time without the screen even turning on.
I noticed that if I held in any of the volume keys + power while connected to my PC that the phone was in reality rebooting every 30 seconds--it would come and go from Device Manager. So I grabbed three rubber bands and wrapped them around the phone at each of the 3 buttons and pressed them in.
After a few hours the phone was completely dead and I could power it back on with a brief charge. Into the bootloader it went and I'm back in business.

something between soft brick and hard brick

It's probably not lost, but you'll need to get to work & it is a mild pain in the a** to do so...

Dont mind the sprint variant, just use the proper files for your phone this time around
I brought a phone up last week via this method. The hardest part is getting the phone to show up as qualcomm 9008 & to communicate with it(need the proper drivers and need a good cable). It can be a little tricky, but once you figure that part out the flashing part is easy.
*The method I linked above should be considered a last resort.*
But I thought you posted you can get into download mode earlier, so make sure your computer isn't the issue. Uninstall all lg drivers & reinstall them. If you have download mode/firmware update displayed on your phone screen and it shows up as lge serial port(or something like that) in device manager you should just be able to TOT or KDZ your stock firmware. I believe there are instructions for that in the link as well; if not - google is your friend.
Gd luck:good:

I am in big mess! Please help!!

I was doing some experiment with DriveDroid and now I am in big mess.
I think I messed up with drivedroid settings and I was not able to see my phone (oneplus 3 rooted LOS 15.1 ) on my computers.
I have tried different computers but all cant detect my phone.
I have tried drivedroid wizard, different usb systems, different usb settings and no luck.
I have tried uninstalling the drivedroid and still no luck.
The phone was going in charging mode only. Its was not going to MTP mode so I can see the phone internal storage in computer
I have tried to do factory reset also but no luck.
Now I mistakenly wiped data partition also and now the phone is with
No OS
No USB detection on phone while in TWRP
No OTG detection
No any ROM.zip file in phone memory.
When I am on TWRP and connect my phone in computer I am seeing same error message and cant see my phone interenal storage.
Now what to do? Any way to flash ROM ?
I am in big mess, and I dont want to spend money on new phone as of now
I hope someone will be my angle and suggest me something to recover and save me from this mess...
Crying out loud now...

Phone is not recognized in computer while in twrp mode so it is not able to connct to adb via USB.
Just get os flashed at OnePlus service center.
I did something same in my previous Samsung phone. I took it to service center and told em that it's not booting up and I don't know the reason. They flashed the firmware from scratch, charged me 250 INR and my phone was back to being normal.

I am not able to follow this as phone is not even coming in USB mode. So its actually soft bricked because can go to twrp and fastboot mode and booting up without OS but USB is not able to detect on my computer.
now the service center guys saying I need to change the motherboard which I dont think is the issue, mother board is not going gone for sure as I can boot up in twrp and fastboot mode. its just may be the usb host controller gone.
Cant decide if I should go ahead with mother board replacement at cost of 10k INR ( phone cost was 28K INR) .

If you use the Method 2 of the Unbrick Guide, you don't need normal adb/usb mode recognition. Follow that guide scrupulously and step by step. Don't skip any and don't rush.

I even tried that but somehow it is not even recognized as QHUSB_BULK device.
believe me I have tried all things to revive the phone but its not hard brick in my opinion, it can boot into twrp but the when I connect the phone in computer it shows the error message I shown as attachment in my first post.
yes, I have tried 2 different computers and few usb cables.

Your phone need not be hardbricked to use the Guide. It will work even on a normal perfectly working phone. If your phone is not recognised while following the Guide, it only means one of two things: either it is a hardware fault or you are not following the Guide properly.

tried to follow the unbrick guide on windows 10 but phone is not seen as QSBULK device in device manager.
I am going to try on windows 7 as few post said that windows 7 would be better for unbricking than windows 10.
finger crossed, right now flashing windows 7 live iso on USB.
so finally I am declaring my op3 as hardware failure as one of my other phone (yureka) easily identified as 9008 mode in my computer but my op3 is not. so all drivers are installed correctly but somehow my op3's usb hub is failed.
i guess time to move on..
thank you everyone for spending time to help me. it really is supportive and encouraging...

Couldnt find other phone competative in the price range.
Time to change the xda signature...
Although I bought 6T now and am kind of happy with that, but I am still missing my oneplus 3 and want to experiment on getting it revived.
By any chance someone can help me answering my doubts.. I would be greatful..
1. Is it ok to replace oneplus3's motherboard with oneplus 3t motherboard ? If by any chance i get any resell op3 or op3t in dirt cheap price I want to know if its ok to use 3T's motherboard.
2. Is there any way I can turn on the wifi from within TWRP and so I can connect to phone via adb over wifi/tcpip ??
Thank you all in advance.
