hey all, just got my 1st smartphone here. the LG Venice.
i love it , but always wanted to root it. that was the main point in getting it.
so i went and got this the other day, and unfortunately the guy at the store
went and upgraded it for me from the good version to this new UN-rootable version.
at the time i didn't know this, or i woulda stopped him.
soooo, I've been reading all over and the consensus is to downgrade it to zv5,
then root it, then save the root, then upgrade back to zv8, then restore the root.
ok, no prob, but i cant get the zv5 firmware to take. i;'ve found only 1 place that has a link to a .cab file. and it don't work.
others have had this same problem, but i cant get ahold of anyone....
if i flash 5 on it, it gets stuck at the boost logo screen. only way to fix is to flash 8 back on it.
so if anyone has an idea or a good zv5 image, or a link or something! or a way to root it as is.. please help!!!
thanx

We both have the same problem. We both have partition error and unable to boot the phone and causes the hardware to malfunction. We also don't have IMEI which I used the lgflashtool and stated null. So we have to wait for a really good solution to unbrick this hardbricked phone

HI guys, I need help from some caritative soul please!! I'm desperate.
Some of you might have already read about my case: I rushed, last weekend, to flash one of the beta Lollipop versions that hanged around (v19h); I only flashed bootloader and rom.
Now, my phone does not boot to LAF (download mode), nor recovery (TWRP) anymore, because of those not being signature-compatible with new bootloader.
And, since I am obviously not rooted, I am stuck to this version, unable to get out: I can't flash KDZ, or flashable zip on recovery.
Today, I have tried literally EVERYTHING suggested on XDA.. with no luck....
I am basically stuck with a extremely expensive paperweight... any ideas to help me?
RIght now, my only choice is to return it to insurance/warranty, but... what could I possibly say? .. They might laugh at me when they see the Android 5.0 version screen....
Any kind of ideas will be extremely appreciated... Thanks!
Attempts I already tried without luck:
* Flash new/old KDZ or TOT with Flashtool
* Flash new/old KDZ or TOT with Flashtool 2014
* Any ADB attempt
* Any fastboot attempt
* The dreaded RED 2? ...
*[FIX] Unbrick LG G3 stuck in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode

The best advice I can give to you is that if no solutions become available to you, depending on the warranty, I would water damage the phone so the warranty does not reject your claim. Otherwise you may have to play the waiting game until developers create a solution.

Are G3 phone OEM warrantied for water damage?
Water-damaging the phone is a risky way to go. I was under the impression that water-damage is not covered, especially since most phones even have a moisture-indicator strip on the motherboard for detecting it. Even if it was covered, what if they do reject warranty due to any reason(including software tampering?). You'll actually end up with an expensive brick then. Atleast now you have a working(albeit buggy) phone.
I'll suggest to wait till the devs can find some way to help you. Was going to suggest you try the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode method but it looks like you've already tried that.
Hi, I have the exactly same problem. But after some digging i found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660566 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345860
I think that is a long shot, but if somebody provide "debrick image" - (following istructions from the top of the thread) from their D855 devices with lollipop firmware (19h or 20A) it can be worth a try.
Sorry for my english.

LG would not warrantied the phone if its waterproof. They specifically asked you if you crack your screen or has been water damaged. If you do, you either pay a hefty price ($150) or they can refuse to fix it.

I am an idiot..
Long story short my LG-D852 RGS is showing as an LG-D857 in LG FlashTool and I am unable to flash the correct rom as I keep getting an error message:
"Download fail!! Device model is different"
I somehow flashed my D852 to a D857 while messing around, and now I can not find any way to recover to factory.
Anyone have any solutions that can rescue me from this bricked phone?! PLEASE
If you want some good help to recover your phone go to this thread and ask for help or ask even if it is possible since you flashed the wrong ROM.

I actually fixed it using a modified .DLL file that bypassed the model mismatch so I used it with the stock bell 5.0.1 and LG flash tool and it finally worked

Very glad you got it sorted. Another success story!
I am confident this phone is basically unbrickable, much like other LG devices I've had in the past
I have an ATT ZenFone 2E that I rooted successfully with this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3116531). Due to an error on my part(fat finger) I accidentally started the OTA update. Now when I try to boot the phone all I get is the AT&T logo/splash screen. I can get it to go into recovery mode and it also will connect via ADB. I have tried flashing the UL-ASUS_Z00D-WW-12.16.5.30-user.zip firmware via ADB fastboot but I get an error saying firmware is wrong carrier ATT (WW). Am I using the wrong firmware for AT&T? I have searched all over and cannot find any ZenFone 2 firmware other than WW, TW, and CN. Any help or suggestions much appreciated.

Still no luck. I'm sure if we could find the AT&T firmware we would be able to recover. Unfortunately it appears it is not available on ASUS support and AT&T doesn't even provide firmware. Our only hope may be from a backup of another device that isn't bricked.
Does anybody know if we could possibly use the temporary CWM recovery used in the root method to flash to another ROM that is compatible with this device? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Are there any details I can provide that would be helpful in finding a solution to recover this device? I've seen a few other people are having the same issue as I am and I would like to help them as well if I can get mine fixed. Thanks

Just out of curiosity have you tried running the xoa_unroot.bat while your device is in recovery/fastboot mode? Im not sure if it will help but I've found in other threads that to avoid soft bricking your device you must run the unroot prior to applying the OTA update. I'm sure it's probably too late but maybe worth a shot. I'm going to try it when I get home from work today.

Wait, are you bricked and tried using that as the fix? I cant post links but Check out Asus, They have Firmware, Kernel (havent checked but read it earlier today), and Boot Unlock that you can get right from (assuming you have an account) My Products.
Also... Has anyone used that method recently?
Cathaterfish said:
Sorry I will give credit to DavePmer for his guide in minute, but qouting him for some reason wouldnt let me post, even when I removed the links? anyways I'll edit and give credit I promise
So my phone is stuck on the Asus Logo, I downloaded all of this and followed the instructions all the way up to:
11) now the fun part. open your microsd card and check the folder TWRP\BACKUPS see if it has a folder named
01234567890123456789 if it does great if not, not a problem just copy all the system files from the folder
you extracted TWRP-zf2e-ATT_12.16.10.7 to your microsd card TWRP\BACKUP\01234567890123456789\ whatever folder you have next\ in other words, replace your system.ext4.win000 files with my system.ext4.win000 file.
Replace your system.ext4.win001 with mine, and replace system.ext4.win00.md5 with mine as well as system.ext4.win001.md5 when done safely dismount the microsd card.
It then occurred to me that i should be more careful this time around... This was from October and although I ran across links saying for the most part that this was a good shot for fixing my ZE500CL, Z00D or whatever. But things have changed since then and I was wondering if this is still the best/easiest/safe route. I learned pretty quick that over looking things like OTA/Root or in my case Making assumptions is a fast path to really doing a number on your phone. (Honestly I just started even giving thought to rooting my phone, just considered them back ups I kept in a box). I now have the itch to do this right so hoping to fix this and go about this the right way.
Thanks for any input.
Currently DLing RussaiNBeaR, went and bought a card reader/writer. I was going to Download the firmware, kernel and boot unlock tool but currently staying at a place where im getting 160kbs on my DL's. So if I can get away with davepmer's guide that would be great, or something other or smaller than downloading 4gbs on this Internet Connection.
EDIT: Forgot to add that I haven't completed this step yet because the wording kind of tripped me up. And I want to do this right. When he says "in other words replace your system.ext4.win000 files with my system.ext4.win000 file." and then goes on and 3 more to the list. Does that mean only copy and replace those 4? or does that include all system.(whatever).(extension) files? Im sure it sounds really dumb or noobish but the fact that the next step is using twrp to restore using system only makes me afraid to do this part wrong.
