Hello everyone, I'm new on the forum. Sorry to bother you, I've been reading most of the threads about the G8 thinq. My problem is that I can't extract LG's kdz firmware properly. I already tried with the Lg extract, with the CMD, with Power Shill. None manage to extract the '.DZ' Please share me a rom that is already extracted, thanks in advance.

So a couple of things, the kdz extractor tools are plentiful, some work under windows and some under linux. I've used the linux version and it does work, no issues. The DZ file is basically the KDZ uncompressed. It's a large single file.
The DZ is then further broken down by the utility into various forms due to the command you use, you can get partition images and chunks of images etc etc.
2nd, you ask for a 'rom that is already extracted'? That's a lot of images, about 5 gig worth, what **exactly** are you trying to do? Maybe you only need a few files? Maybe you need files from a specific rom version? Maybe you need a kdz rom that doesn't even exist? Like at&t and sprint?
you might want to fill in some details for anyone to help.

Hello, thanks for answering. I will begin to tell my story. I have an Lg G8 ThinQ Sprint with Android 10. It is network unlocked because I can use it here in Honduras. I did the Crossflash tutorial ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tutorial-crossflash-bypass-opid-mismatched-error.4345963/ )
While using the QFIL I deleted flash from one of the 7 partitions the tutorial says. My phone no longer exits EDL mode ( Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM5)) So I went to this tutorial: (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-g8-stuck-in-qualcomm-hs-usm-qdloader-9008.4050197/).
I followed the steps to load the ¨Lun¨, I did it in PowerShell, because in CMD it didn't work for me. Apparently the ¨Lun¨ were installed well. Now the problem is that I can't install the necessary partitions, because I can't unzip the .DZ ROM
Help, what do I do? My cell phone is only in Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 mode, it does not go to download mode

So honestly I'm confused by where you are or what the situation is. But no matter.
This link is for the Lun4 partitions of sprint a10 backup. It has the rawprogram xml needed to flash it.
My understanding is that should be all you need to get LGUP to work. So flash that with qfil and then go directly to LGUP with the key combo.
Then, in lgup, do whatever you want, crossflash etc. Once you reinstall a kdz with lgup you should be back to the beginning and can start again.
good luck

Thanks for the files and information. I just did the flash in QFIL. look what it tells me.
What could be wrong with my cell phone? It no longer wants to enter power on or enter download mode.
The screenshots from 1 to 5 are those of the QFIL flash process.
Then see how is the partition manager. From screenshot 6 to 13.
Do you find any problem?
I still can access Download mode.
Thank you again for your dedication and availability to help me
Hmmm, wasn't sure if that would work or not. That rawprogram xml was created with bkerler edl utilities, I know it can be used to restore with those utilities but thought it would work with qfil, guess not.
seems your only other option would be to flash ea partition manually with qfil.

how can i use bkerler edl utilities to load the rawprogram xml ?
Hi, I also tried this tutorial:https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tutorial-rescue-from-hard-brick.4351389/.
According to him, since my device is Sprint, I have to flash all partitions. You can successfully do part C. But I haven't been able to do part E yet because I don't have all those partitions.
AsItLiesshare me the full firmware backup so I can restore mine, please

I don't have the full backup, sorry. Pretty sure if you look though someone has posted a link to it.
Keep in mind though, if you have chip erased your device, restoring a backup will not restore your imei, for that it will cost $ to pay someone with an octoplus box to do it.

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.

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.

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.

I appreciate all of your kind helps.
I am having the BRICK problem with LG G Pro e98820c after flashing wrong rom and unplug USB during flashing process.
Now the phone is stuck at Brick qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode. I have some tools such as Smart diagnosis tool, BoardDiag, Androidbrick, Qfil/QPST ....But I have no proper guide how to use them to unbrick qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode.
Have you got a solution for your brick phone.
I got LG optimus G Pro e98820c bricked during flashing a kdz update. I tried to upgrade a lollipop 5.0.2 rom of korean variant F240L model. The phone has long released and used.
This is how things went wrong:
I flashed the rom, but stuck at download with no booting, then unplugged USB, then and there it went bricked.
No battery light
No download mode......Now it is totally DEAD
Luckily, when it is plugged on Windows 8, the device manager shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008(COM15). Is this sign of the phone going back to life? How should I step forward to get back Download Mode?
I tried to test and unbrick it on BoardDiag, but it shows ...
#[ G-pro (APQ8064)]
============= AP CHECK START
Failed during loading flash programmer
TEST aborted!!
Elapsed Time: 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds#
This is the message I got from BroadDiag. but since there is no .TOT firmware for G Pro e988C, I think I can not do image extraction from .KDZ firmware. Is that right way to do image extraction from .KDZ firmware zip? I have a problem with no partition .txt file available from extraction of KDZ zip. How can i get partition .txt ?
There are KDZextractor, Can I use them? Can these image extracted from KDZ be applied in BoardDiag?
All of your answers is highly appreciated.

TOT is only for E980 AT&T variant. E988 uses KDZ. Try with BordDiag then, but I'm not sure it will work. There are some guides here in G Pro forums, but never had to use them because mine never bricked that bad. If nothing works, JTAG/repair.

I am stuck at this stage. But maybe I have no proper way of using BoardDiag.
In the instruction from the forum, the extracted files needed are ( .mbn ) file not ( .bin ) file which are extracted from KDZ.
Can you help me instruct for BoardDiag tool?
Thank a lot in advance.

Never used it - my worst brick was solved by putting device in download mode and doing a full stock reflash. Haven't managed to mess-up bootloader for 3ys I've used G Pro. Try running app as admin, KDZ should work, it's valid image - people are just referencing to tot files because they are all copy/pasting same tutorial around the webs.
In the end, it would be much smarter to just send it to service...

Today something went wrong while flashing weekly LOS build and my LG G4 (H815 with v20P firmware) went into very fast bootloop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gm0dh6bLp4
In this state i wasn't able to enter recovery, nor fastboot, nor download mode. Only IMEI screen (Vol Up + Vol Down I believe) was accessible which was no use.
Here are the steps which got me out of troubles:
A) Verify that you have LGUP installed and have proper 8994.dll version for your device.
Different versions of FW use different libraries which results in errors during flashing.
Steps:
1) Install LGUP with this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
2) Get the right DLL. You can try this one:

...or extract it directly from KDZ file with extractor https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575.
You need to extract it from FW version that your phone is already running, not from the one you are about to flash! (when flashing from v20d to v20p you need v20d version, but when reflashing v20p FW you need the v20p DLL)
3) Navigate to LGUP install folder (default "C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP")
4) Overwrite the old DLL located in "model\8994" folder version with new one in
I don't know the exact compatibility, or how many different DLL versions are out there. Hopefully it doesn't brick the device even more when wrong version is used, it just doesn't work.
B) Write h815 image to sdcard as mentioned here:

Hi guys,
i came up with a temporary to unbrick LG G4 H815 , you just need a 32 GB SD card ( i used Sandisk 10 class) , the dump that i will link , and Win32 disk Imager, the SD card must low level formatted.
1- download this dump

2- put the SD card in the PC and chose the dump file and write ( run as admin ):

It worked for me with just 8GB one. Be aware that the image written to SD have like 20 partitions so windows might go crazy.

4. There you go, it will open the download mode.

D) At this moment my G4 finally entered Download mode
I was able to reflash KDZ using the usual procedure (select UPGRADE, find a KDZ file, restart LGUP, select REFURBRISH and START). Initially I got 0x2000 error at approximately 16% (boot displayed as status) that was caused by old version of 8994.dll library.
E) Back to stock
Now you should have stock H815 again so lets flash LOS back as usual
Kudos to OPs: @bullghost , @shakeyabooti , @leptdre , @jam1445 and other posters on G4 section of XDA!
Hope this helps someone!
Good job. If your using this and you're gonna buy a SDCard on purpose, be aware that this fix might not work on your device. Ehehe

I'm using a 16gb microsd, but however I try to image it (exfat, fat32 filesystems, different win32imager versions) also have tried different cables, but it still doesn't show any sign of life. I bricked it exactly the same way as OP did. Does anyone have anything else I could try to fix this? Also does the battery charge when its on 9008 mode?

No could it be caused by low battery? I remember it being like 30% when I bricked it, and does it charge under 9008 mode?
Sorry to hear that. I'm afraid this is beyond my knowledge if it wont even enter the IMEI screen. I suppose you can leave it bootlooping in charger over night and then try in the morning?

It does not bootloop, straight up dead. Just shows 9008 forever on the pc, I left it for like 2 hours like that yesterday. I'll leave it overnight today and if not I'll hack up a direct 5v 1a charger to charge the battery directly. If both don't work i'll probably flash LS991 files in QFIL and use it as a tablet afterwards.. damn i got this phone not even 2 weeks ago perfect condition and all. Will not buy any more damn LG devices.
Oh, I thought your phone was rapidly bootlooping like mine did. Sounds like the person who sold it to you was aware that the phone is on last legs (probably even baked the phone so it runs for few days more) and screwed you over. My next phone wont be LG either.
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.
I deleted all the partitions on my g8 using qfil, now the phone has nothing but an edl mode. If someone could share a backup of the partitions that would get download mode working, I could flash a kdz I have with lgup.
Help would be appreciated

So when u bring up 'manage partitions' in qfil, what do u see? Nothing? If that's the case u need the backed up partitions and the xml which has offsets etc of where to flash the images, not just the specific partitions.
cheers

there's nothin there in qfil, so I guess i'd need the xml also, anyone have this and could share?
i figure i can put a little work in before i throw in the cards and return the phone to amazon

So I put together something that might help, but you'll probably have to make modifications to the xml to get it to work.
I don't know what the xml should look like for it to work with qfil. This is the xml generated by bkerler edl backup python scripts (with the bkerler scripts, you indicate, on the command line, where the bin files are, so it's not in the xml. But, I think the qfil interface needs that info to be in the xml. I could be wrong about that, you'll have to look at qfil and make changes to the xml if needed).
Also, the xml for luns 1 and 2 files are accurate, but not the xml for lun4. You would also need to edit out all the xml restore in rawprogram4 to only include the files for that lun (to get lgup - boot, abl, laf, and gpt*4).
Lastly, this is from a sprint backup, not sure that matters much except in that there is no kdz for sprint, so not sure how your device will respond in lgup if u use these and then try to lgup a vzw kdz (or any kdz), since there's no totc file to 'ID mismatch' with...
good luck

wow, return the phone 'in the condition it was in when received' is usually a prerequisite right? In other words... not bricked?
good luck with that too.

thanks for your time - i'll give it a try when i get home from work this evening, even though it looks to be over my head maybe i can figure it out.
it's actually a sprint phone, though i know a way to crossflash anyway.
you figure i can't return the phone? i just spent 200 bucks on this phone a few days ago, i hope thats not the case
the thing is - my jobs getting ready to send me out of state for a new position. my present phones old, slow, and the screens cracked, so i thought id start things off by getting myself a decent phone and working on setting it up - at present though ive just got an unresponsive piece of plastic.
ive rooted many phones in my day, but this one got me, what can i say

Hey it's not my place to tell you what to do. But I can tell you, personally, if I screw up, I take responsibility for it.

netmsm, thanks for the reply - if I follow the instructions in the thread you linked, is it true that i'll have no imei and serial number on the phone after the process?
thanks again

That's true. You lose IMEI when you erase all partitions. Except, you have crated a backup of Modemst(1 or 2) or FSG partitions so you can restore them, but after recovering from hard brick. So first recover phone following instructions then restore Modemst 1 and 2 or just the FSG.
If your phone is factory unlocked version and you have no backup maybe we can repair IMEI, maybe! Just recover the phone for now.

I have backups of the following files - would the imei/serial info be contained in any of these?

Nope, sorry to say. FTM keeps identity data as a temp place from which IMEI cannot be restored. However, you can find the original IMEI from FTM. You need a box to repair the IMEI. The only tool that can repair LG SDM855 phones' IMEI is Octopus. So, you know what to do, I guess ^_^
