Hi all,
after waiting 15 days, I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, firmware and rom, then rebooted.
the phone is dead ever since.
I can see it in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM10)", but I am not able to flash a rom through miflash.
any help is welcome
*additional informations*
here are the steps i followed:
1) unlocked bootloader succesfully
2) flashed official twrp
3) wiped EVERYTHING except sd ext
4) flashed this firmware
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xiaomi-firmware-updater/files/Developer/
5) flashed this rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ment/ota-resurrection-remix-os-6-0-0-t3777375
6) rebooted, dead
I noticed now that if i try to turn on the phone, the led blinks a few times
PROBLEM SOLVED:
the phone is alive again. Here is what I have done-
1) I opened the phone and tried the test point method, but I noticed that nothing changed in the way the phone was detected by my laptop. So, it's not crucial have "COM 7" in device manager.
Then I basically followed the steps suggested by @Destrangis in post #3
2- In MiFlash Choose CLEAN ALL and install this rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.7.0.NE...179eb04f38.tgz
3- Installed TWRP, WIPES and flash https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528041092 and Magisk
4- Come back TWRP, WIPES and install your favorite rom.

EDL booting and flashing is your solution.
Now, only debatable is will you use EDL booting procedure which requires opening of the phone to short two contacts to be able to boot in EDL or You will use altered ADB which gives possibility to boot in EDL without case opening. This second option is somehow questionable but first, i think, if second option to enter EDL without opening is way to go!

Hard brick. I went through it. Follow these steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfkRHAW2iXI .
1- You have to activate the EDL mode.
2- In MiFlash Choose CLEAN ALL and install this rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.7.0.N...EK_20180406.0000.00_7.1_global_179eb04f38.tgz

4- Come back TWRP, WIPES and install your favorite rom. :good:
PD: If you see "COM7" in MIFLASH, go directly to step 2.

I tried to test point to give flash in the rom by Miflash, the pc recognizes my device in the COM port, when initiating the process it gives an error message: CAN NOT READ HELLO PACKET. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? my device is simply dead because of that anti-rollback that Xiaomi implemented.

Try to use usb 2.0 ports.
Maybe edl mode has timed out. Press the power button for 20-30 seconds to power cycle the phone.
Or open it up and remove battery pin for a minute. Reconnect and try again.

I already tried on usb ports 2 and 3, and it did not work. Holding the buttons for a long time did not solve either. I opened it to test point, removed the battery, but none of it makes the phone work. The problem is that at the time of fash in Miflash it gives the following error: CAN NOT READ HELLO POCKET. I do not know what this error is or what it is about?

Did you recognize what caused the hard brick to your phone?
I think you followed the right steps, yet your phone got hard bricked, is it a firmware issue or RR rom issue?!

By following his link to the firmware file on sourceforge you will see that he flashed a note4x firmware on his note5... So guess where the issue was...

I already changed the port, but how to change to port 41? I tried 3 ports 13, 8 and 6.
If I connect the device to the PC and hold vol+ the error comes and then it should say something like software update.... but for me black screen appears and the led is red and blue. then I´m connected in qdloader 9008 too

So, i unlocked bootloader, tried to install TWRP 3.0.0 by berkantkz but it didn't work, so i used the gottlasz guide, after going to recovery i installed the cm 13 unnofficial rom by pvineeth97, after this the phone just bricked I can enter recovery mode (which is not TWRP) but it doesn't change anything, I can enter download mode, but after entering the usb connects and disconnects, making it impossible to use the LGUP. Is there any hope or I can't recover my phone at all?

did you use the original USB cable of k10? try to use LGbridge instead since LGUP doesnt work perfectly with K10 because it so hard to find its DLL file. If you are using LGUP to flash use it with Uppecut Software to bypass its incompatibility issue search it in google and you will find it xda.

First you don't install twrp you just boot it from fastboot.
Other thing is that if you read any post in that thread you would see that everyone who tried to install that rom got their phone bricked, some of them succeeded to bring phone back to life, and some killed their devices for good..
So if you can't have stable connection via usb then I have bad news for you..

Hi to all,
yesterday I attempted to install LineageOS on my LG G4 h815.
I followed this tutorial -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003
Everything went fine. I was able to boot under LineageOS reinstall my apps etc, etc.
This morning when I woke up everything seemed normal too. But, few minutes ago, I sent an SMS via Google Messages the phone froze and then black screen.
When it froze I had 97% battery.
Ï tried to reboot it with power button -> Nothing.
I tried to remove the battery put it back on and pressed the power button -> One tiny vibration but nothing
I tried several times the same last process and finally I managed to get the screen with "Bootloader state : Unlocked !", but I cannot go further.
If I connect the phone with a USB cable, wether he's "turned on" or turned off no led is blinking.
Does someone have a clue to fix this or has ever encountered this issue ?
Tanks in advance and do not hesitate to refer to an old post. I wil check (but found no same case).
Jérémie.

Just to perfectly understand.
Are you advising me to flash my recovery with an older version via my laptop (I imagine via adb/fastboot) despite I can't even get my LG be recognized by my laptop ?
Will the adb/fastboot command be functional as the LG seems not to be recognized on the PC?

The best way to get your laptop I recognize your phone is to get LG up running then with the usb plugged n drop the battery out then put battery back in then close off LG up.
Then start it again and when it go's into download mode the pull usb and close off LG up Then plug it back in with dos prompt open............

LG UP had no effect on the phone.
However, now the phone seems to have 0% battery and when I try to boot it I get the graphics to plug the phone on a source of energy. Once I do that the front led is blinking in orange (I guess because I had less than 1 or 2% o battery) and now the front led is still lit on in orange. Is this a good news or I'm hoping for nothing.
Anyway tomorrow I will try to get it back to my retailer.
Does anyone succedeed to get it replaced by LG even if the bootloader is unlocked ?
Thanks.
After a little journey to the repair shop of my retailer everything seems to work correctly, for the moment, with LineageOS !
Thanks everyone for your help !
Hi guys,
I know there are plenty of posts about bricked phones and I've read most of them. Just want to do a sanity check here. If my phone has a LOCKED bootloader and USB debugging is NOT enabled, there is nothing I can do in terms of flashing an image right? I can enter bootloader and stock recovery, but when I boot to OS it bootloops.
Just want to confirm my only option is warranty claim with Google and there's no way to enable USB debugging other than from the OS?
Thanks in advance!

Go into the bootloader and on a PC with adb run "fastboot flashing unlock" and see what happens. I don't think you need adb enabled to do it but I could be wrong so just try
---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------
@piotrus22 another option would be to go into recovery and adb sideload the latest ota package from google.
Can you side load with debugging off?
Also have you factory reset from recovery?

Well unfortunately you're out of things to try.
If your phone happens to be a 128gb model this is actually quite common.

I hope your phone is under warranty because Google won't do crap if it isn't. I'm a proud owner of a POS 128GB brick thanks to their junk they sell.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I was trying to update to MIUI 12 on my Note 8.
I installed Orange Fox and did all the correct procedures.
I tried to install the ROM miui_GINKGOGlobal_V12.0.1.0.QCOMIXM_f5da3c2665_10. 0.zip but Orange Fox presented an error message saying that I was trying to install the wrong version and that my phone would need the Willow version.
I downloaded the version miui_WILLOWEEAGlobal_V12.0.1.0.QCXEUXM_87056480ce_ 10.0 and Orange Fox managed to complete the installation.
But that's when my problems started: my phone is no longer on. I turn on the power button and it flashes and turns off.
If I try the power button / volume combination - the Fastboot screen flashes for a second and goes out.
If I connect the USB cable it is flashing, turning on and off.
Is there anything I can do or is my phone a brick?

EDL locked? Why? I do not understand. It is a physical procedure
if you sure your phone is ginkgo then NEVER and EVER try to flash other device rom, you flash willow and because miui rom includes the firmwares as well then this behavior will be expected from flashing wrong driver
there's problem with your recovery, i use twrp and never encounter anything like that

Yes, I followed this tutorial.
My bootloader had been unlocked
The phone is now working perfectly, with all apps and files restored from backup.
