LG G2 hard bricked, partition table lost and stuck in QDLoader 9008 mode

LG G2 hard bricked, partition table lost and stuck in QDLoader 9008 mode - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys, I have LG G2 F320S (Korean Variant) and a few days ago it was stuck in fastboot mode while i was trying to upgrade to Lollipop firmware using LG Flash Tool 2014. And Fastboot commands were working fine but the problem was that some of the partitions had become write-protected so I was unable to erase or reflash those partitions. So, I short circuit the capacitor and I successfully entered Qualcomm 9006 mode with a number of partitions. I used SRKtool to restore partitions (I have this experience in the past so it was easy for me) but here I noticed 1 or 2 partitions were not restored (write-protected) but phone restarted to download mode. When I tried to flash stock firmware then it always stuck in the middle or something and later once again I was stuck in fastmode mode where I started.
I don't know how partitions became write-protected?
Once again I disassembled the cellphone and short-circuit the capacitor to enter Qualcomm 9006 mode and this time, I wanted to remove write-protection from these partitions so I opened "Diskpart" in "cmd" selected LG G2 and performed clean command and format it. Diskpart removed all the partitions gave me a 32GB single partition like a USB Flash. :laugh:
I thought may be after shorting the capacitor, I will get back partitions but this time I got QDLoader 9008 mode. Now whenever I connect phone to PC with or without battery then it is detected in Qualcomm QDloader 9008 mode.
I tried Boarddiag v3.99c but unfortunately this tool doesn't extract .kdz file of my LG G2 F320S korean variant. I tried to extract .tot file of LG G2 D802 (intl variant) and it completed successfully, so the problem is in .kdz file of my cellphone(probably not supported by this tool).
I can extract this .kdz using LGFirmware extract tool but unfortunately it doesn't create "partition.txt" file which is required in boarddiag to flash partitions. I used partition.txt file of LG G2 D802 but it gives error : No DLoad mode when trying to reflash programmer".
Any help would be appreciated.

Boarddiag full and working version helped
I have tried a lot of times to flash the partitions using boarddiag but it failed. It was the problem of the software because almost all versions had missing files. At last, I have found a working version of boarddiag which detects my phone and I am able to flash boot partitions to it. Although all 3 tests completed successfully (AP, EMMC, SDRAM) but still I am stucked, even after flashing all the boot images, I am still stuck in QDLoader 9008 mode and whenever I connect it to PC (with or without battery), it is detected in QDLoader 9008 mode.
Here is the link to the full working version of Boarddiag 3.99 for LG G2:

(mega is blocked in many countries so you may have to use proxy/vpn to open this link)

Here is the result of all 3 tests. Please tell me whats the problem. SDRAM result is FAIL but why so?

Now I am able to enter "Download Mode" but unable to flash stock or any other firmware. I tried flashing with 2 softwares:
1. LG UP-G2-G3....This software gives error at 6% (at LAF read) as shown in picture below :
https://ibb.co/zXpDcjt
2. LG Flash tool 2014.... This software gives error at 4% by saying "Unable to Establish Connection" though connection is fine because phone is detected in Device Manager and in Download Mode "It shows signs that communication is successful but it wont flash.

Did you try the TOT flash method already? It worked best for me, when I restored my phone from scratch 2 days ago.

Dear I have tried two methods. I tried LGUP and LG Flash Tools 2014. But both fails. Unfortunately, no TOT file is available for my LG G2 because its Korean variant (F320S) and it has only .kdz firmwares available.

QDLoader 9008 mode
Now, my phone is not entering download mode. It is displayed as QDLoader 9008 mode when connected to PC. Check the screenshot here : https://ibb.co/yk3VSbS
I have the working version of boarddiag but sometimes it passes all 3 tests and sometimes fails EMMC test ad sometimes SDRAM test is not completed successfully.

LG G2 hardbricked no tot files

Hello,
Yesterday I have bricked my phone, he won't turn on and when I plug the usb cable I have a bluescreen. (D802)
So I tried to short the capacitor and it work ! But I have a problem, I'm stuck in HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode, I tried this topic :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830
But i can't find the tot file for my firmware, I think I do this 1 month ago :
Put lollipop v30b (FRANCE OPEN)--> flash kk_baseband --> flash cloudyG2 2.2 but what tot (or bin) file I need to take ?
Other thing I do but I don't remember : 20A kitkat 4.4.2 (SFR FRANCE) --> flash cloudy g2 2.2.
So i don't know what file I need to take... If you can help me, do it thanks !

After a big research I can have 9006 and 9008 mode.
With 9008, I've flashed all partitions. Nothing (no download mode and can't power ON the phone)
With 9006 window pop on Windows (7 64 bits) with "would you like to format......", but I have 500+ popup window.
So it's impossible to use SKR Tool, and when I go in disk utility Windows restart to popup window.
I tried the solution with Linux, but when I do the command ls /dev/sd* I don't have 36 partitions...

I also hard bricked the phone almost in the same circumstances.
1. Have tried many different tools such as BoardDiag, but has no support for MSM8916.
2. Tried MiFlash, but there are no ROMs for this phone yet.
3. Tried with Qfil, this task was more complicated, as needed several files not available in extracted kdz stock firmware
3a. To get Partition data, I parsed PrimaryGPT.bin with gpt_parser.py by n0fate here. A readable partition table is extracted and manually made partition.xml. The file parseGPT.py was not able to do the job.
3b. To get rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml I used ptool.py , thanks to adfree who made available S8600_JTAG_120125.rar here
3c. To get the programming tools, (prog_emmc_firehose_8916.mbn, 8916_msimage.mbn and MPRG8916.mbn) I extracted these files from S60-a_S227_150806_ROW-QPST-QFIL.zip, available here (create a free account first)
4. Once I got all the above, tried to flash the phone in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, but no joy :crying:
Here is a copy of the flash Log:
Code:

According to this article in androidbrick.com, "LG has chosen not to use default options of this platform", therefore the files I got from Lenovo, may not be the same as the ones used by LG.
To get the above programmers for LG MSM8916 chipset, one should have access to LG service Tools, I think...
Would like to know if somebody had success flashing this phone in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

Bump! Anybody ? I can't believe there are 829 views of this thread and NO ONE is getting their feet wet in the above issue.
Here is my 10 cent contribution:
When the phone is Hard bricked, in HSUSB Qload 9008, chances are EMMC is corrupted and the phone is not booting, therefore not able to get to HSUSB 9006 , condition where the phone turns fixable by repartitioning and copying the individual image files to internal storage.
But to get to that point and get the phone booting, we need to reflash the EMMC partition. As this partition is not part of the official kdz file, I'm going to ask everybody if you can send me a copy of the EMMC partition of a working phone, Here is an example using ADB:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/emmc.img
I am working in two bricked Leons, MS345 and H340AR. Your contribution will be appreciated, as I will publish results here.

Bump Again! 890 views. I believe there are some fellows having the same problem, however NOT a single ANSWER! Well, I have an update. I tried ietacid LG flash Tool, found the required DLL and firmware here, but there is no joy. The kdz file fails to load as is using a newer compression algorithm, and there is no TOT file available for the LG Leon ...

Same problems
I am having issues with installing proper arm.zip file for lg leon 5.1.1 using kingroot and kkm marshmallow launcher ive installed many arm files flashed them and after reboot android screen crashes i need help before i end up hard bricking my leon lol thnx in advance

please upload this again S8600_JTAG_120125.rar

Have you solved this problem yet? I really need your help.

Wiko Ridge 4G
Hola,
I also have the same problem, but my cell phone is a Wiko Ridge 4G, do you happen to know how to solve such problems?

@prk231987 Last post was last year... but here it is, if any one need the rawprogram0.xml and all partitions.

Does anyone still have a copy of the files for qfil flashing?

Bricked LG G2, download mode goes on, but not working

Hello
I'm new here, I've been modding my lg a few times, always when bricked, kdz or tot files were saving me.
But now I've got real problem.
I was changing ROM from Cyanogen 13 to Cloudy 3.3. I thought I just need to flash rom via recovery (2.8.7.3 bump blastagator). Flashed fine, without any troubles, but when it came to reboot, phone just got stuck on LGs logo.
I knew i f*ed up.
Recovery isn't working, but Download Mode is turning on normally, at least it seems to.
So i tried to flash KDZ, but LG Flash Tool immedently shuts down giving "lg user...." error (don't remember what exacly it was saying).
Then i tried via tot files. But after installing drivers from tutorials, device isn't showed as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port", but as few positions like MTP device or usb serial port(but not in Com ports) and all are marked as devices without drivers. Flash tool for tot also didn't worked here, because it did't found device.
What can i do now? Please help me.
[Edit]
So now, using different drivers somehow Jelly Bean installed by tot method (device didn't appeared as tutorial said, but it worked) phone is booting normally, but i can't again install lollipop with kdz files.
I was trying 3 different drivers, every giving instant error of flash tool.
What can I do now?
[EDIT2] LGUSERCSTool.exe is crashing. How can I install lollipop now?
Are there tot files for lollipop?

[GUIDE] Revive lg G3 from Brick (secure booting error)

i had a frustating week trying to fix my lg G3 d855 (italian) because of a bad recovery flash (i don't know how it happened)
and i wanted to share how i resolved it to everyone because i spent too much hours in front of my compiuter.
this was the condition of my phone:
1- doesn't boot normally, showing in the top left an errore message "boot certification verify" "secure booting error" then the screen turned off and the led started to blink red and blue.
2- doesn't boot to recovery, doing the same things as i said before.
3- when booting in recovery mode (by pressing volume up) my computer showed "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode", but the display of the phone was totally black.
4- lg flash tool seemed to not work totally saying "model information check fail.
5- boardDiag seemed to not work too saying "device was not found in dload trying flash programmer".
here it is how i resolved it:
i just followed this guide, using his BoardDiag modified by willcracker: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359
at first it seemed to not work :crying:, but after 5-6 times unplugging the phone and rebooting(do not give up!) BoardDiag the program started to work as it should:victory:
i think that it was a crucial step, because i tried boardDiag hundred times before but only this realese worked.
my sw version was "21a 16gb", but i used the "10a 16gb" .tot file that i found here and it worked well: http://downloads.codefi.re/wolfgart/LG_G3/D855
i followed all the steps (except to open the phone, because i was able to go in download mode with no problem) then my phone got stuck in bootloop, but i used lg flash tool 2014 found in this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
to choose the kdz file i insered my imei here : https://imei.guru/ and looked for my "Latest firmware version"
in this page i downloaded the .kdz file with the firmware version i found: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-d855-firmwares/firmwares/
i hope i could be helpful to someone, see you
ps. sorry for my bad english
