Hy nexus friends,
I need help from someone with a 791F 32GB. I dont know if a 790 or a 16gb version is identical.
It would be great if someone with a rooted device can make a backup for me of the bootloader bin files.
aboot, sbl1, rpm, tz, sdi, sbl1b, tzb, rpmb, abootb, misc, laf, persist.
I flashed the hammerhead bootloader and stuck at 9008 mode.
It will be ver great if someone could help me.
Some partition apps could make a backup or with the dd command.
If i fet a solution, i would post it here. At the moment i had the device and the tools that i flashed for test a nexus 5 sbl. So write is possible.
Thanks for help guys
Where can I see if my phone is 791F?
i have the US Nexus 5X 32GB. Tell me what to do and I'll get you what you need.

Model number on the phone box and I believe in the bootloader screen: turn off phone then hold volume down and power.

Ok. Just rebooted into bootloader and under "Variant" it says LGH791 but no F, sorry
Thx for your help.
You can backup the partitions with some partition backup apps or with dd.
If you look with a file explorer in /dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/XXXXX , XXXX there are the partiton names.
If you want to copy with adb, make adb shell, su, and then:
dd if= /dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/cmnlib of=sdcard/cmnlib.img
Around 36 partitons are in the MM build. System, cache, userdata are not needed..

Have you found a solution to get booting again? Been searching and tried multiple methods to repair my boot image on the H791 I own.
I have worked with another XDAer who extracted and now have the bootimage files from several stock H791 files available. They include the GPT from the stock image MDA89E and the boot image files from bootloader-bullhead-bhz10i.img bootloader-bullhead-bhz10k.img and bootloader-bullhead-bhz10m.img. Let me know if you still need these. I see 11 files in the boot image. During some testing I flashed over the sbl1 on my device and lost the ability do anything but go into QUSB DL mode 9008 as well.
As I am writing this I am now wondering if there is a separate set of SBL etc. files for the International variant? We may need to extract from the 791 tot file available the needed files if we do not have another method of obtaining them. Let me know if you have found a workable way to flash the needed boot images in place. Thanks.

I'm on the same boat , hope you have something to boot it up
It's been more than 3 weeks, my 5X just brick itself . And LG doesn't support 5X in my country . I'm very very hoping you will find solution.

I think the only way from my perspective so far is to manually flash the needed QComm/boot image/boot loader files with something that can interface with the phone. I am pretty sure I know a method to manually do this but need the flash programmer that works with this device to accomplish. Or if there is a way to add MSM8992 support to the BoardDiag tool, that would work...I have not given up, just have not had a whole lot of time to work on this the past 2 days.

I see boardiag for n5 , please don't give up ?.
And i see blank flash file for N6
Try to connect the usb cable with the pressed vol up button. Normaly the lg download screen should pop up.
Its possible then to flash a tot file with the lg up tool.
But i found only one tot file around the i net.
It will be flashed but hang in the bootscreen.
A org. tot or kdz file were great or a solution to create such a file.

Yes. The FW download screen is not an option here. Seems those of us currently needing a solution or method is do to the phone being in QC emergency mode only. I can see my phone in device manager only as with the QC HUSB 9008 drivers.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but i'm having trouble finding a straight answer.
How does one create a KDZ file?
My G4 won't boot. I would like to send it in for repair as it hasn't been rooted or unlocked but i have flashed a MM KDZ file on it. So I'd like to attempt to get the original software back on but the KDZ file for my brand (815K) is not available anywhere i can see. I have another G4 here with the correct software on it and i would like to extract that software to a KDZ file and install it on another phone with LGUP.
Is that possible? is there another way to accomplish what i want to do? Do you think it would be a problem seeing as it hasn't been rooted or anything :/
Kind regards
You could always take a system image of the secondary phone and push it accross to your original. Providing you can still access download mode. Have you tried factory reset first?
Yes! That's exactly what I want to do, but how do I take and transfer the system image though?
I have tired a few factory resets. At this point it will only boot into download mode.
Use this root tutorial and just skip the root injection parts.

Ok, cheers mate i will look into doing that tonight
Crap, hit a snag. It says i have to place my system.img file on the phones internal storage.. but its not booting
In download mode you should be able to see your device in the computer file systems. Like when you plug a usb into it. Copy the file over that way. Thats the way i put my sys image on. I was uaing imac tho.
Hi guys,
for the last months I was using LineageOs, but since they dropped development for our device I wanted to get rid of it.
I tried to get AOSP running but failed. Next I flashed a stock kdz file in Download Mode using LGUP and it worked,
I was back to stock. I tried to install AOSP through TWRP but failed again and eventually ended up doing a hard reset.
This temporarily bricked the device because now the stock android booted and Android Device Protection (FRP) was
active and didn't let me log in. Desperate to find a solution I flashed random kdz/tot files for the device that I found on
the Internet until one finally worked (LGH815 EU Nougat 7.0 BySezerSimsek), the FRP thing was gone. Then I tried to at
least get back to stock again, but when I tried to flash the stock kdz file LGUP aborts at 25% with Error Code 0x2000.
Every time I start the phone now, it goes directly in this firmware update/download mode.
The device shows up as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port" In Windows Device Manager
In Download mode it says "633A B92 Official" on the display
I already tried:
Different dll files for LGUP
Using LG Flash Tool 2014 instead
Putting dump file on SD card
Should I put it in 9008 mode and work with QFIL or what am I supposed to do now?
Thank you.
I'm still able to get into fastboot mode btw. But I'm going to wait for replies here
before I make things worse. If that's even possible at this point. :silly:

My phone is alive again, thanks Jason:laugh:
Just a short recap what I've done now in case it helps someone with the same problem, the full instructions
are in Jasons link.
I used the KDZ and TOT Extractor to extract the LGUP8994.dll file out of a stock Marshmallow v20p KDZ.
I renamed the dll to LGUP_8994.dll and moved it to C:\..\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8994, overriding the
existing file. Now LGUP was able to flash the v20p KDZ without the 0x2000 Error.
Hello together,
after many tries to get my nokia 3.2 rooted, i end up now with a black screen.
Only the Qulacomm mode is working.
Get anyone managed to flash the stock firmware with QFIL provided from the rooting thread?
I always end up with "sahara fails".
Every help is welcome!
Thanks!!!!
After many tries I have finally put my phone back to life.
My instructions how to do it will come soon!

please do, i encountered a similar problem.
HowTo Flash STOCK 00WW
1. Trigger nokia 3.2 to edl-mode (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/guide-how-to-trigger-nokia-3-2-to-edl-t3962841)
2. Flash the given image from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206)
- This was the main problem. I never managed it to flash the image with the Windows Programmer QFIL. After more research in Internet, i found finally a Linux application called QDL that work directly without any problems. This application can be found here https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/guides/qdl.md.html .
- Flashing the software ends up into a bootloop. Also i got a message on startup that the bootloader could not be trusted anymore. After a software-update, this message disappears.
3. Flash all the user images again manually with fastboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
flastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Whyever you have to flash this partitions only to the active partitions without the suffix _a or _b.
Then the bootloop is finished.
The phone boots normally to Android ONE.
The next problem which occurs on my phone is now that it is not able to connect to GSM network. I guess this happens because i deleted all the necessary partitions for the modem (modemst1, modemst2, fsg).
I get it managed to restore the imei, but still no service available.
In original my phone had the software 00EEA. Perhaps they use different drivers. My luck is that i got a cheap damaged phone from ebay with that firmware.
My next step is to modify the code from QDL that it can read the partitions from the damaged phone and save the software to computer.
Then i will flash this software to my phone and look if this software will run on my phone!

Thank you for your reply, it seems that your problem is more complicated than mine.
I have a global variant with 00WW software and i attempt to root the phone. I successfully flash the patched boot.img and had root access. However wi-fi didn't work after that.
Since before flashing the patched boot.img my phone was running on a different firmware from the one that boot.img was extracted from, so i think that was the problem.
I attempted to use QFIL to flash my phone back to 00WW_15 and it failed half way, bricked my phone.
Normally you can use the EDL Mode every time.
My phone only showed black screen and it was always possible to connect in EDL Mode and flash again.
Did you try to flash again? What happens then?

What did you mean by Flash the given image ? Was it flash the firmware package with QFIL ?
My main problem is flashing, it always failed half-way and the error log reported that needed files were missing from the package.
Okay. I used the linux program QDL for flashing.
But i saw, that in the xml file rawprogram0.xml a few files are missing.
The linux programm jump over these files but perhaps QFIL do not.
For example is there a picture.img listed which is not available..
Try to remove them manually from the rawfile and test again.

Also the files "demoapp.img", "dp_AP_signed.mbn" and "dp_MSA_signed.mbn" are missing.
Remove them from the XML file and try again!

Okay QFIL still failed half-way but i manually flash the user images and my phone boots normally now
Hello,
my nokia 3.2 europe variant wont boot up its stuck in fastboot mode. What can i do to bring it back?
I get this: FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)
P.S. if i do a fastboot reboot it boots back into bootloader
I also had this problems for many many times and don't know what went wrong when this happens.
The only thing that helped was flashing the complete firmware again in EDL-mode.
You can try first to flash only the 5 user-images with fastboot, which i mentioned before in this thread.
I uploaded this files for you, because you don't will find the europe files in internet yet.
Here is the link:
https://transfernow.net/81iti7q21s0s
Good luck!
Hi,
Thank you very much. Is this the complete Firmware? (All Images from Device) Another question: I couldnt Access the recovery System. Did you have the same Problem when your Nokia didnt boot up and was stuck in Bootloader? So is this normal that the recovery is unaccessible?
Yes, that also happens sometimes with my phone.
No, that are not all firmware files, which you need to do a full EDL-Flash.
But with this files you can first try a fastboot flash!
If it does not work, you can take all the other files from the Global-Stock-Firmware, given in the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206.
Delete the 5 files with the same names, flash the Global-Stock-Firmware in EDL-Mode, with QFIL or QDL, (without the 5 files) and in the following flash the 5 europe-image files with fastboot.
Thanks, ive sent it in and got Friday a 00WW Variant of the device back. I will upload those User images for 00EEA to my Google drive so that anyone who needs those files can download them
hello

Hello to ervery one
how you flashed your phone. can you please guide?
i am also stucked in fastboot mode after rooting.
damn... I've been finding on how to restore the wifi and sound because I uninstalled magisk and it failed. I don't think I can thank you enough for this post.
Hey guys,
I'm currently stuck in a fastboot loop after trying to install Magisk after flashing the Arrow ROM. I believe I messed up when choosing between boot_a and boot_b and flashing the patched img via QFIL. I initally patched boot_a, but when that didn't work I rebooted and patched boot_b. I did this because when I installed Arrow the instructions asked me to select the device slot that was inactive. I thought this meant it was swapping my device slot from A to B, but I probably got that very wrong. I did go into EDL mode and flash my original boot_a and boot_b in hopes it would reverse my mistake, but that did not work.
When I attempt booting the TWRP zip from the lineage guide archive I get this error "failed to load/authenticate boot image". I'm assuming this is because it wants an .img file and not a zip. If I try flashing the same zip file I get this error "Cannot flash this partition in unlocked state".
I did make a backup of all partitions via TWRP before this, but I'm unsure how I'd go about restoring everything. I do have access to EDL mode.
Any help is appreciated. This isn't a primary device though, so if it's bricked I'm not going to be that upset over it. Just something I wanted to try for fun. Haven't rooted a device in years. The G8 was a bit more difficult than I recall, so I'm sure I made a mistake somewhere.
Update 1
I flashed the ABL enginnering file and have some progress. Now fastboot shows my Active A/B Slot. It is set to B now, it was A originally, which I guess confirms that the Arrow OS instructions did switch from A to B. Maybe patching both through Magisk broke the boot image? If I'm understanding this correctly.
Update 2
While in fastboot (Phone was still looping) I entered the following command to change from Active Slot B to A, "fastboot --set-active=a". I've read this could potentially brick your device, but since my device was originally set to A and it was a brick at the moment already I took the risk. Booted into the recovery mode and selected factory reset. It took about five minutes, but I'm now back to the setup screen in the OS. Glad to be back to this point. Now I just need to figure out how to get Magisk Root working without repeating this process.
Update 3
Almost forgot to boot back into EDL, load up QFIL and push the original abl_a and abl_b files back to your phone. Otherwise you won't have any touch input.
Update 4
I seemed to have messed it up again. I tried locking the bootloader back, so I'd stop getting the error message upon bootup. I've decided there is no benefit to unlocking the bootloader and rooting for my purposes. Just wanted to try it out. After doing so I started getting an error stating the device failed security checks, so I pushed the abl engineering file back to the device to unlock it. After I went to push the stock abl_a and b files and decided to go ahead and push the stock boot_a and boot_b to make sure everything was back to normal. Which I didn't think was a big deal, but now I can't boot into the phone without using the abl engineering file.
At the moment I'm unsure what to do. If I push the abl_a and b stock files the phone goes into a fastboot bootloop again. Can't run any commands that way either. I have to boot the abl enginnering file to do so, which in turn allows me to get into the OS but disables touch input. So at the moment I think it's bricked.
If I could find a TWRP image file to flash with the abl enginnering file I could possibly perform a restore from the original backups I made, but I'm unsure where to find one since TWRP doesn't really exist for the G8. I just have a zip file.
Overall not too much of a loss, but the G8 was a great DAP. Hate to lose it. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.
Absolutely the same issue. I wrote about it in arrowOS thread . But I did not try to flash engineering abl. I'm begging you, if your will find solution, please write here about it. I am also notice you here, if resolve this issue.

It's a little confusing to try to determine where you are with this, but I can tell you that for the G8, to get twrp 'injected' into the boot partition, you use magisk and flash the zip, you don't 'boot' it.
So to accomplish that, you need **your specific variant** boot partition with magisk injected into it. You can do that yourself by using the magisk manager, or by simply asking if anyone has that available.
But, you'd then have twrp, and you could flash backups, but, from what you say, it's hard to determine if that's going to help.
If you have one of the variants that has the kdz available, I'd suggest simply use LGUP and flash your kdz, and start from scratch.
Lastly, re locking the bootloader. Numerous people make this mistake, but you can't re-lock it unless you're on pure stock (no modifications at all). If you try to re-lock it and yer not on a freshly flashed stock kdz, you can end with 'edl mode only' device.
cheers

As of right now I have a kdz for my phone, I have a Verizon model. Where I'm having trouble with now is I can't get the phone into Download mode. When I do it says my device failed a routine safety check and then boots to fastboot mode.
I also have a couple patched magisk boot partitions from the initial install. I loaded them via QFIL and I can now get to the Verizon bootup screen, but it gets stuck in a loop.
Update:
I got into Download mode by going into the system recovery and doing a factory reset. Now I need to figure out LG UP.
Last Update (Hopefully) Lol:
I installed the kdz using LGUP and it seems to have worked! I'm back in the stock OS and touch input is working. I'm relieved. I hate leaving things like this in a broken state if it's possible to fix it.
Thank you @AsItLies for responding and helping out!

What I did was put the phone back into EDL mode and open QFIL. I loaded my original magisk patched .img file. This got me out of the Fastboot loop. Then after holding volume down and power to reset the phone out of EDL mode I pressed volume down and power again to boot into the modified system recovery. This took a few attempts as it's really finicky.
Once I was in the modified system recovery I performed a factory reset. This seems to have resolved my "Failed routine security check" error when trying to access Download mode. Now that I was no longer getting that error I booted backup into the modified system recovery and hit power down. Make sure your phone is not plugged into your PC at this time or else it will just boot back up.
Once your phone is off and unplugged, hold volume up and then plug the phone back into the PC. Hold volume up until download mode starts. Now you can go go about installing the kdz of your phone.
Now I'm not sure what model your phone is, but since mine was Verizon I found a Verizon KDZ. Then downloaded LGUP. There are a lot of different variations of LGUP, but for my G8 I needed at least 1.16. So I download the Lab version (Probably not right. It scaled very small, but hey, it worked).
You also need to download the DLL for your phone and place it in your Program FIles (x86)/LG Electronics/LG UP/Model/Common folder. I did have to create the Common folder for some reason, but after I did everything worked fine. Make sure to rename the DLL "lgup_common" (without quotes).
You'll also need the LG Drivers for your phone as well, if you haven't installed them already.
I'll post a couple links for you below of where I got this information or files from. I hope this all helps. If you have any questions just let me know. I'm no expert, but I'll do my best to help.

If you have ATT or Sprint I do not believe there are KDZs available.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I need to clarify anything.
Woo, thats great, that you resolve your problem! I will try to do all like in your manual.
imei.guru said, that for my imei i have :
Model: LGABCD
Region: ABC
LG LMG820N
With such region i did not find kdz at lg-firmwares.com
When my smartphone boot up (when it was worked) i see LG U+ when booting.

Can you share the LGUP 1.16 that worked for you. The link you provided has LGUP 1.16 [Orignal from LG] – No patched – Lab Version and that does not work or not even opening after installation. Thanks.

I just tried installing it from scratch and other than it asking for the LG driver it launched on my end. Are you going into your start menu and opening LGUP?

I find out that Windows 11 is the problem. Something to do with stupid driver signature. Used Windows 10 and that worked. Thanks.
