Hello Guys
My friend ask me for get a Lineage OS to his H815 with Nougat. I agreed as I made few successful changes from stock to Lineage OS with Samsungs and older LGs (like L3 E400). But G4 is really more complicated, more than I expected . Firstly I wanted to unlock this phone with FWUL, so I download a VirtualBox emulated image with FWUL and after it boots I opened SALT program and it detects the phone. I made a basic backup and then I choosed Unlock G4 (UsU). After that some windows pop up. Last window was a pre-checking, when the bar gets to the end window closed and nothing more was happening. So after almost hour of waiting I just turned off the phone - I thought its all. After that while phone is booting I have those messages in the left top corner:
[820]-----------------------
[870]
[920] Secure boot error!
[970] Error code : 1009
[1020[ OFFICIAL !!
[1070]
[1120]-----------------------
Its booting, but only sometimes its normal boot, most starts are with bootloop, sometimes its start after 10 restarts, sometimes after 2nd restart, sometimes after plug in/plug out USB cable it starts boot normally (connecting cable only to phone, not to PC), sometimes only thing that helps is to take out the battery. I made full wipe to be sure that its not a software problem, but only thing I achived with that is fact that phone has a Nougat and now it have a Marshmallow. It is (was?) H815, but now model name is LGLS991 (?), it gets very long until it shows software version (V20g), IMEI is unknow, even when I type *#06# I get the null response.
I can get into recovery, can put phone into download mode. But i'm not able to do anything to get LOS or a least Nougat.
I've read many, many tutorials how to get G4 working properly after unsuccessful unlock, but nothing helps. What I've tried:
1. Flashing stock Nougat for H815 with LGUP, installed USB drivers, proper DLL, set com to 41, but when I trying to flash, after a 4% i get error: KDZ file is invalid. Downloaded few KDZ firmwares, dont belive that every single one is invalid, there is something wrong with LGUP or with settings, but I cant find what
2. Flashing with LG Flash Tool 2014: tried both normal flash and cse flash and always stoping in the same moment, with "Connection to server failed. Try again in a moment". Read many tutorials about this error, none was helpful in my case.
3. Flashing with LG Flash Tool v1.8.1.1023 and a TOT file, but after select of dll and tot file and press the yellow arrow I get an error: "Failed PreviousLoad()"
Tried all this methods on second computer but without a luck.
What else can I try to get this G4 working properly? Maybe try to install some rom from stock recovery? But which rom will be ok and dont get things worst?
If you need more info dont hesitate to ask. Would be very greatful for any advices .
you definitely didn't read enough... go to read again the UsU thread and as you've read the whole tutorial, you can also read the whole FAQ and the OP, because 90% of what you pointed out in your publication (which incidentally is in the wrong section) is explained there.
A quick advice: Don't try to flash any KDZ/TOT again.

It has taken me many days to find a tool to flash KDZ AND TOT since many people show an error at 4% of FlashTool and there is no solution so this is your Post.

When I run LGUP it says Model is Unknown, then gives an error telling me I have to choose a known Model. Drivers are installed, USB debugging is enabled, not sure what else there is missing. Please help.

sorry you had problems
the error is one of the drivers lg
you should plug it into one of the main USB ports on your PC.
or rather entering device manager and re-assign drivers to ports.
Have you downloaded the lgup for lg g3 and g2?
Drivers are installed, USB debugging is enabled, LG PC Suite OK.not sure what else there is missing.
Download : lgup-g2-g3.zip
Solve it FIX
good after I found the problem LGUP
roms apparently change the model of the device as it changes cm11 to build Cyanogenmod 11 xx
AOSP - to AOSP rom 2 etc.
the solution would be to install a stock rom clean no matter if v10 v30 etc. The important thing is not having changed the model number and manufacturer.
I hope I have helped and sorry
that includes cloudy fa's roms

Hi !
How do I do all the above ?
My PC recognize the phone without problem, but LGUp won't start unless I "select a known model"... (LGUp window shows : Model = Unknown ; COM Ports = [COM5, CloudyG3] )
Problem is that my phone is softbricked after installing a new ROM, and I can only enter download mode (not even recovery). I just want to downgrade it and reflash a LG's stock ROM (or whatever ROM that would make my phone actually work !!! )
Can you help me do that ?

LGUP "UNKNOWN" and FlashTool failure with LG G3 (and possibly others)
When I downloaded and installed LGUP with the DLL installer stated to be for the LG G3, the program did not recognise the phone, reporting it as "UNKNOWN". The LG FlashTool also failed, reporting the IMEI and PID as NULL. After spending a lot of time on this, I twigged that the DLL file in the LGUP model directory was for the 8994 processor; but the G3 has an 8974, quite different and incompatible. I located the DLL installer MSI file for 9874 devices, uninstalled LGUP and the DLLs from Windows add/remove programs, ran the 9874 DLL installer and reinstalled the LGUP program, and everything worked.
The file is, amongst other places, on https://uptoandroid.com/download-lg-up-tool-for-lg-smartphone-latest/. Do not download DLL files for LG G4, LG V10, LG G3, LG Stylo, filename LGUP_Common_DLL_Ver_1_0_28_5 .msi, but instead For LG phones based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 SoC, filename LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5.msi:.

23 Aug 19: I find that I've rediscovered the wheel. Exactly what I said was posted in 2016 - if I'd found it, it would have saved me a lot of time!
Hi, I decided to write here, I hope you can help me out.
So today I tried to root my phone with the instructions found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68696079&postcount=114
I checked that my build no. is S288, so with rooting there would be no data loss for me (I still backed up everything important of course)
First problem I came across was that I had to found how to download QFIL, I downloaded and installed version 1.0.0.2 I think.
Second was that I couldn't get the Qualcomm Com port to show in QFIL neither in Device Manager. I figured out that as well, by doing loads of research (googling)
I also installed ADB to help me get into the state where I see the Qualcomm port, because normally if I just power it off, and connect it to my PC, it powers on in the "charging interface"
So everything was working, I downloaded the P1a42_S288_160721_ROW_RAW_QFIL file, extracted it, filled in everything in the QFIL program and hit Download while holding the + & - buttons to enter TWRP mode or whatever it is called. It returned with this:
Code:
PROGRAM: Send raw data fail
Failed to write I:\Telefon Ment�sek\Lenovo Vibe P1\Root (2017,03,11)\P1a42_S288_160721_ROW_RAW_QFIL\recovery_twrp.img to the device
Download Fail:System.Exception: Failed to upload the emmc images to the phone using Firehose
...
Download Fail: FireHose Fail FireHose Fail
Finish Download
Sorry, I can't write down everything bc I already closed the program, so I'm writing these off of screenshots
I already tried other USB cables, other USB ports, other drivers, even other ROMS, but everytime I try, I get this message:
Code:
Download Fail:System.Exception: Unable to download Flash Programmer using Sahara Protocol
at QC.QMSLPhone.Phone.QPHONEMS_SaharaArmPrgDownload(String sFileName)
at QC.SwDownloadDLL.SwDownload.QPHONEMSSaharaDownloadArmPrg(UInt64& version, String armPrgPath)
Download Fail:Sahara FailSahara Fail
Finish Download
So currently I can't power on the device in any way, tried holding + and -, + and power, - and power, home and power, home power and +, home power and -, home power + -
Please help me, I would be really glad Cheers!
Also, sorry if my English is a bit poor, I'm a 15 year old boy who's native speaking lang is not English
P.S. I also don't know if I broke my warranty with this or not, because I technically have not rooted the phone, just did something else. And also, what if someone would've stolen it and I would've got it back and I wouldn't be able to turn it on because the thieves have broken it? (That is not the case right now, just asking).
PS 2: I have an alarm at 0:00 today, but I doubt that the phone is just gonna magically turn itself on for the alarm, we'll see. I may also try to leave the phone to completely discharge (I remember now why I didn't want to buy a phone with a built-in battery)
EDIT: I didn't mention, that the first time I tried to flash, I was using files from a Directory that's path contains both spaces and unknown (?) characters (é) (only unknown by the software) as seen above in the first box.

Dear Pls follow this link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/how-to/lenovo-vibe-p1-a42-c72-root-ready-t3533693
You can see the qualcomm driver only when you switch off phone and hold Volume+/- plus power button.
I can't bc my phone won't turn on currently,
So I probably shouldn't have used ADB to get into fastboot or whatever, my phone may be broken because I tried to do the flash while in that state.
Did you read my whole post though?
The next thing I'll try then is uninstalling all the drivers and programs related to my phone, and then following the guide you suggested, because I still see the Qualcomm port, I just can't do anything with my phone.
OMG, I have waited a few hours, and just randomly thought why not try again flashing the rom (I don't think this is the right word for the QFIL Download procedure), and it worked! So I'm actually really happy I don't need to send it in to repair or try other things. I got the system I started the procedure with, so I didn't actually lost any of my files neither did I root my phone. Now to decide if I want to try again rooting it with the detailed instructions you sent or just leave it like this so I avoid getting into all this again. I think I will try again to root it lol why not
Will report back here if it was successful
I have successfully rooted my phone, and installed the Xposed Framework on my phone, so I'm really happy.
I can't really seem to find where to lock this thread so please someone lock this thread (I am not familiar with this forum, so I don't know if it is needed or not)
hi..i have hard bricked my asus zenfone 551ml 4gb/32gb.lost bootloader,recovery everything.set was just vibrating and black.then used xSTFS loader and now regained bootloader..but when i try to flash raw image via asus flash tool it shows FAILED(wrong image format).i tried several times but same.it shows my serial no 123456789ABC..now i m really puzzled what to do.as most who bricked their set were succeded by this method here..so what should i do now? i dont have any asus centre here.plz help.thanx
serial number 123456789ABC is normal if you have ever used xFSTK program to reload the entire boot chain.
I gathered from the internet that Asus Flash tool will hang after it reloads the correct serial number. It thinks it is communicating with a phone that has SN 123456789ABC but then at some point the phone switches SN and Asus Flash Tool hangs.
You can get around this hang using several methods
1) restart computer after asus flash tool hangs
2) use second computer to load RAW image after asus flash tool hangs
3) Going into Windows Device Manager and disabling the Android bootloader device then re-enabling it (after asus flash tool hangs)
You can tell Asus flash tool is hanging when you run "fastboot devices" command and you see a device that is not serial number 123456789ABC
RAW image (to my knowledge) is only for xFSTK program.

can you tell us what u have done to fix it??
i am facing something like you, cannot flash using AFT because after i click start on AFT, it always show "Flash image failure (FAILED (wrong image format))"
tried download raw file few time, in case corrupted, different version and different AFT version, run as administrator but still no luck still showing the same error
in fastboot mode, my serial number is looks normal but "bootloader version - unknown"...
i wonder if the phone bootloader have been unlock, so it cannot be flash using AFT.

you refer to the step "Flashing Firmware Without AFT", right??
because the phone which i wanna flash is not bricked yet, it still can turn ON normally. i just cannot hearing call in and out (not hardware problem since i still can hear and speak if calling using apps like Whatsapp, BBM, IMO or other chat apps). and also the IMEI of SIM 2 is unknown/Null...but the SIM 1 still can be used and the IMEI is there...tried update to latest OTA didnt solved it, so i think maybe need to be flashed using AFT.
so i did not do the steps before it...i wonder if it still OK??...

it was ok for me..my set was hard bricked..even no bootloader..mine is 551ml. i spent 2days searching and found fastboot method other than aft.
Hello there!
I just bought a Razer Phone from a guy who said that it has a bad motherboard...I bought it pretty cheap and tried to revive it, because why not, i ve done this to other phones.
The phone was somehow reset, it boots until the setup wizard, where i can set the language , emergy call or maginification without problems...
The problem is that if i press " Get Started ", it popps a message like "setup wizard keeps stopping" and so on...i cant pass that screen, the message appears everytime i press "get started" button.
So, i tried flashing... The phone boots like is an unlocked one, but no fastboot/adb ?!
So, the only chance was adb sideload. I pushed different roms / factory images... Nothing.
Hardly, i found an OTA.ZIP file, and tried to sideload it. It worked till 47% ... Then, it said that "PACKAGE IS FOR CHERYL BUT EXPECTED CHERYL-CKH"... not a single rom/factory image worked like this... It loads near 50%, when the other stop right after start.
Later, i discovered i have the US carrier version cheryl-CKH ... And i cant find it's OTA...if one of you can provide me, i ll be very grateful, even buy you a beer or smth.
Thank you ! And please help me...
Edit: i also tried with EDL mode, with Qualcomm Flash Image Loader , but i dont have/know the Programmer Path & Search Path.
I'd advise to unlock the bootloader following the instructions here; make sure to unlock the critical partition as well.
https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/general-instructions/
Then flash the stock factory image of your choice from here;
https://developer.razer.com/razer-phone-dev-tools/factory-images/
When you unzip these factory images, there is a flash_all.bat file to double click and it should do it all for you.
The phone should be good to go after this. I did this recently on my razer after spending some time flashing some of the 9.0 pie GSI images and it worked great.
I have a Sprint LGG710PM that was flashed to LG710ulm (Android 8)
I am trying to flash a newer .kdz on it (G710ULM20f_00_NAO_US_OP_0218.kdz)
I have tried all the guides in this site step by step. (The 1st guide is a little ambiguous since it tells instructions about programs that exist in multiple folders, but doesn't clarify which folder you should executing in) I've even tried using uppercut from older guides as well.
My phone always shows up as unknown in LG UP.
I really wanna update and retain this phone but am running short on my 30 day return window. Never flashed phones but have hacked consoles and this appears easier 'cept i do'nt know whats wrong here.
Please help.
