No Boot - No Recovery - No Download Mode Unbrick Guide
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 or Secure booting error (No Boot - No Recovery - No Download Mode) or "QHSUSB_BULK"
Hi team, if you have come here I'm sorry you are having this problem! But my friend and I have been to hell and back trying to fix this problem and we wanted to share our method of success for any poor soul who is experiencing the same thing! For our situation the USB was unplugged half way through flashing a KDZ or going back to stock firmware and created the No Boot - No Recovery - No Download Mode problem.
This has only been tested on the D855.. Just so you know.
First off, here are some links which you may need to have a look at if you have not done so already. Most of the bricking problems have already been extensively talked about by people here on XDA. For the method that works, we had to pull information from everywhere and spent a long time looking for the solution.
How to go back to stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
Link for TOTs and KDZ's from the above thread - http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
The Main Fix for the problem - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g3-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933853
The G2 version of the fix (for reference if you still have problems 55+ pages) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830
This is your last stop shop if everything is broken and nothing works, involves hardware fix - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359
The problem we encountered several times with all of the described methods above, is that many do not describe important things. While the main fix thread for the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode, which is shown in device manager, is very well written and detailed, the programs which are linked in this thread are questionable and haven't worked for many users with some offering to fix for money. We searched the internet and located a working version of the program which worked without giving a "Device was not found in dload trying to flash programmer" like the one provided on the XDA page. Use the links below for a working version from this thread http://androidforums.com/threads/lg-g2-not-turning-on-help.916865/
My first point is if you are having problems with any of the things, CHANGE YOUR USB CABLE or use the stock cable (I know most experienced users know this). The reason for this problem has something to do with different USB cables being made for different purposes and are of different qualities. Having an error on the USB ports gave us only qhsusb_bulk on windows device manager, without Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 as well.
If you are still having problems, check your USB ports. It is really important to make sure this isn't the problem or you will be trying to fix this problem endlessly.
First attach the USB cable to the computer. When you plug your phone in, make sure you attempt to enter download mode by holding the volume up button when you plug the USB into your phone. Even though the phone will not enter "Download Mode" It will allow the phone to be detected by your computer (at which point you can release the buttons, it should then show "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" under ports. If this is not displayed you have a problem with the USB cable or port, or your phone is hard bricked and you need to head to the above guide for the hardware fix. If you have followed so far and are wondering what to do from here, once the "Main Fix" guide ends, head over to the "How to go back to Stock" thread above. Your phone should be showing "firmware upgrade" and you can proceed to flash a new updated KDZ on your device then everything will work and your nightmare should be over!

For all people with Windows 10 an problems with drivers (device is detected by Windows but app is not connecting). Decompress de correct cab for your Windows version, and update the driver "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" with the path you used to extract. Now this driver isn't advertising that isn't signed anymore, and all apps will connect with your LG G3

Hi, I have the same problem, except that when I connect the usb, it shows up as "LGE AndroidNetUSB Serial Port". I'm not sure if I should try the Qualcomm route?

I just fixed my Lg g3 with this method. Not sure if it will work with AndroidNetUSB
Would like to help for any difficulties. (e.g. Not able to find TOT file) etc.
Thanks to @Orcam & @kryptonite
This did not work. Here's what I tried:
1. Without battery
2. Changed drivers as @shawe_ewahs says
3. With battery
4. Admin and non-admin
5. Changing COM ports
But, every time, I get:
"Device was not found in dload trying flash programmer
TEST Aborted!!"
My LG G3 D851 is in Qualcomm HS_USB QDLoader 9008 (COM 41) so I know it is in the correct mode! Agh, it is very frustrating. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! <3 I finally was able to fix my device *O*

No problem. Hope it didn't take you as long as it took us to find all the right stuff
I'm having this problem, but when I plug in without a battery all that shows up in device manager is "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". I tried to do the hardware fix and was able to force the device to reboot by touching the pins. But all that happens is it disconnects and reconnects from USB without being detected properly.
I should note that when I turn the phone on right now, it stays stuck in the initial LG G3 splash screen. When I plug in without a battery, it shows an empty battery icon with a wire and a triangle question mark.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I think if I can just figure out how to get my machine to detect my phone as the qdloader hs usb 9008 I can figure out the rest.
The boarddiag v3.99 version 1 and 2 dont work, they dont even get ejecuted, not eve trying to execute as administrator.
Just wanted to reply since I resolved my issue. It turned out that, despite the apparent inability to boot into download mode, I discovered that if I booted up the phone with a battery in it and plugged into a windows 7 laptop, and held the button down to enter download mode, it eventually let me into download mode. I really can't explain why this worked, but just wanted to put it out there. It was at least a few minutes before I noticed that the laptop chirped and it was showing the install screen in download mode.
Hope this helps someone out.

Sounds like it may be a problem with windows from what you two have said. Perhaps compatibility mode is the way to go. They did release a pretty major windows 10 update since I posted this guide.
Okay so long story short: I unlocked my bootloader, flashed twrp and things like that and tried to flash lineage. This was all using the Axon 7 tool. I did something wrong and now I can't get into any other mode but EDL mode. The phone shows up in Miflash but I always get some "cant read hello packet error" and it tries to "reset" and end it eventually just stops and gives me an error. Plz help.

I assume you're not on Windows 10 x64? If you aren't, either get a PC with Win10 x64, or do this:
Connect the phone, get into EDL mode. Now go to the Device Manager, and tell me where it appears.
It can appear as:
-"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" under Ports (COM & LPT);
-"ZTE DFU Interface, under Ports too; or
-"QUSB_BULK" under Universal Serial Bus devices or unknown devices.
If it appears as the DFU stuff, you'll have to follow the 4th category brick repair guide. If it appears as QDLoader, right click on it, then Properties, then go to Bits per second and put the number at 115200 or 128000 if it's not there. Then hold the 3 buttons (vol and power) until Windows beeps and the device manager spazzes and the phone flashes the red led, then try MiFlash again.
If it appears as QUSB_BULK, uninstall the driver (tick delete driver software too) and restart edl.

Then do everything I described above or just try another PC. It always happens that one PC can be decided not to let you unbrick your phone for some reason

Is there no other option? is there no other way to at least get fast boot mode back on my phone?

Lol nope, not if EDL is not working for you. You still didn't tell me whether you have a DFU brick or not. If you do have a DFU brick the only surefire way is to disassemble your phone and short a testpad, so don't complain.
Try what I told you above. It may be that it's set at 9600 baud

1. You must use "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" driver (there is another one call zidag but it's not work here)
2. As soos as you enter EDL mode, you must press "Flash" as quick as possible
i'm in a similar situation... i did "fastboot oem lock" and now i'm in a loop trying to boot the phone, after the 3time it enters edl (i see the red light).
My model is de G model (2017G) can i use miFlash just to restore the recovery and fastboot?
i had installed lineageOS, when connecting my phone it says that is the U model (2017U) but i think is only a label tag from the rom...
Thansks for the help!!
A 64 bit computer is not really necessary, however it is adviced.
I used a 32bit laptop running Win 10 to rescue mine.
Drivers seem to be a major problem, having the correct up to date drivers is a must.
Also try using Edl Tool and the Axon7 tool kit to access flashing.
Zadig drivers can help in some instances.
With the error you are receiving, have you tried another Edl package?
I was using an Edl package that would not finish flashing either, try a different package and make sure its correct for your phone.
I hope you get it sorted
The hello read package does occur when the phone is not really EDL mode anymore. You always have to restart the phone and boot manually into EDL mode with + - Power and you have to reboot everytime you did or if the hello error happens.
Look under device manager if it says Qualcomm instead of ZTE Device Handset. If that is the case you can build your own EDL cable.
"First I opened the cable and cut the Black and green open, then I connected all the black and green one together and pressed the power button until the red led was gone and 2 additional seconds.
After that I disconnected the modded cable and connected the Phone to the PC with the orginal cable and it showed up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. "
You can install the qualcomm drivers under the MiFlash tab in the latest version.
i finally solve my issue following the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/a2017-4th-category-brick-repair-manual-t3585898 there is also a resume on https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-dfu-unbrick-guide-disassembly-t3731152
Hello everyone. I'm stuck here on strange bug: when device rebooted to EDL it gives "unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)". Tryed on desktop Win10, worked before but not now. Connected to laptop Win7, never attached device before, gave me same error. So I assume I broked edl some way? Is it possible to recover?
EDIT: Make sure you install them, especially the Qualcomm driver while Driver Signature Mode is disabled.
If you haven't already, try installing the Qualcomm USB Drivers. You can follow the simple guide here:

Afterward, reboot and try again.

QC drivers already installed, and EDL mode worked fine week ago - when I flashed TWRP.
Solved. There was two problems:
1) Zadig WinUSB driver, which prevents phone from normal EDL work
2) When you reboot phone in EDL mode and unplug it, you get 43 error 100% no matter what. All manipulations with device and it's drivers must be made right after reboot to EDL without unplugging
@KwesiJnr: There is no need to disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows. I have flashed with MiFlash quite a bit on Windows 10, never had to disable it.
@SionGrey: Just follow the instructions in the first couple of paragraphs of https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514. You don't need to flash the packages linked there. The version of MiFlash that @jcadduono provides is sufficient for flashing Marshmallow/Nougat EDL packages. In you are flashing an Oreo EDL then I think you will need the version of MiFlash from December 2016 (Google it), I never had any luck with @jcadduono's version when flashing Oreo. The installer is in another language but the program runs in English. Zadig's WinUSB drivers will definitely interfere with MiFlash, uninstall them from Device Management before installing the Qualcomm drivers. I never got a failure at 43%. You can restart EDL mode on the phone without unplugging, just hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power (in that order) until you see a red light blink in the upper left corner of the phone. Then just refresh in MiFlash.
@AnonVendetta
You got wrong idea. There was no any 43% flashing error. I posted above that I solved my problem. It was "unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)" in device manager, and it happened because phone MUST be plugged-in during reboot to EDL mode. No un-plugging and re-plugging when phone is already in EDL

Thanks man, you helped me a lot - appreciate it. I didn't plug in the phone to my computer at the right time. I got it now.
I noticed someone had quoted me recently. But I can't be of any help. It's been over a year since my Axon 7 was stolen. I've moved on to a better device. The A7 was still a pretty good phone though.
Hi everyone.
My OnePlus 6T (A6010 version) froze today and it has been rebooting in loop since that. I tried a factory reset, nothing changed, always freezes on the loading "dots" logo then auto-reboot.
I'm on stock firmware and didn't root the phone. Everything is as it came from the box.
What can i do except send it back to the vendor ?
Flash it back to the stone age with this:

thx
the phone is not recognized by the computer as a COM port with the qualcomm drivers :/
OnePlus Support took control of my computer to update themselves the ROM but as the phone can't get recognized they are not able to do anything.

i cant start the phone except fastboot or recovery. How do i enable usb debugging there ?
PS: if my plug my old oneplus3T it appears with qualcomm COM port drivers.
Go to fastboot.
Try to flash a FASTBBOT rom, by mauronofrio.
So there are a lot of conflicting tutorials regarding Custom Rom installation on a Axon 7 mini Android 7.1/Europe
The Zadig and Tulip route seems to be the way to go?
How do i get Zadig to recognize the phone tho. if i boot into edl via adb, the phone is not recognized (no prompt to install qualcomm drivers, zadig cant find device etc)
i´m using the original cable idirectly connected to usb.
are there other prerequisities? i remember vaguely that i had to boot into some different windows mode with my old nexus 5. is it something like this?
Please help
