[GUIDE]How unbrick your L5 from a softbrick - Optimus L3, L5, L7 General

After my friends ask me so much for me to do this tutorial for the sake of L5, I decide to do.
If you see your L5 does not start the system, it is the LG logo, follow a tutorial below according to your case.
Note that this guide helps only in cases of softbrick. In cases of hardbrick, I recommend you go to a technical assistance.
If your device is in the boot animation forever:
Probably you should have modified the system and is very easy to recover. Just look for the ROM that you were using normally occur before it and reinstall.
If your device is not out of the LG logo and/or not go to recovery:
1 - Download the drivers here and install: http://depositfiles.org/files/8nbpilxsh
2 - Download the stock ROM here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=12
Download according to your device!
3 - Go to the download mode.
If the baseband is V10, remove the battery and insert it again (don’t turn it on!). Press and hold volume up button and volume down buttons and connect the device to your computer while holding the buttons.
If the baseband is V20, remove the battery and insert it again (don’t turn it on!). Press and hold volume down an connect the device to your computer while holding the buttons.
If it was not for the recovery, the stronger hold buttons! Worked with me
4 - Download the KDZ updater here http://www.unclenet.de/files/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z
The file contains msxml.msi. Install it first before running the KDZ updater
5 - Start the program.
Leave the options as follows:
Type: 3GQCT
Phone Mode: DIAG
KDZ file: navigate to the file location. KDZ downloaded in step 2 and select.
6 - Click on "launch software update".
The process will take a while. No way, do not disconnect the device from your computer!!!
7 - If still not start, go to the recovery and format
To go to the recovery, will depend on the installed ROM. Each ROM is different. I do not know how to enter the recovery of all ROMs.
When you go to the stock recovery, will automatically format.
(Special case) If your screen looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do as if you were standing in the logo of LG. However, in this case, will not appear on the screen written this in download mode.
To go in download mode, you will have to have plenty of patience to get out of this situation.
Try:
Hold the volume up and connect the PC;
Hold the volume down and connect the PC;
Hold the volume down and up at the same time and connect to PC.
You should try one of these at a time and wait about 10 seconds. While the screen does not look like this, keep trying and holding the stronger buttons.

Make sure it is connected. Go on the control panel, Hardware and Sound, Devices and Printers. If not appear, uninstall the drivers in the device manager and reinstall it.
After that, you just have to install the ROM on KDZ updater.

Hard brick is when your device won't react to any of your actions.

Yes.
Soft brick; bootloop etc.
Hard brick; phone wont turn on & can not access recovery/download mode.

Therefore, I have nothing to say about hardbrick. In this case, I would recommend just taking the phone into a technical assistance.

Btw... How did this thread ended in XDA Home Page??:silly:

Hardbrick is relatively easy too (just one temporary pull down on eMMC data line, then emergency downloader from SoC is available over usb), though for writing guide/testing software i would need actual genuine hardbrick (mobo of l7 or enough of l5)
But even if i write guide, you will still need to have full eMMC backup, any other way while not impossible, violates xda rules. Otherwise you will have no IMEI (though that state could be still useful)

Unfortunately this sock doesn't support QDL 9008 from what I know. The title is just misleading. There is no hard-brick here.

It does since forever:
MSM7k ARMv7 - over USB
any before - over UART

Guys, I never said that this tutorial is about hardbrick. You probably should have seen it http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-external-link/unbrick-lg-optimus-l5-from-hard-brick/ . I think you should discuss it there, with the guy who spoke that it is a hardbrick guide.

LG E 610 Softbrick tried everything MPT Driver fails to load
hi,
i have an LG Optimus L5 (LG-E610) here, it used to have a Stock Android 4.0.3 of nov 06-2012 on it and i tried to put a custom 4.4.4 ROM on it. i had root, Philz Recovery installed and flashed with it: 20 baseband, ROM, gapps, in that order. after it was finished-> reboot system. but the fon would not boot properly and show my a dizzy screeen. after i installed LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe and tried flashing V10B_00.kdz with the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z tool. ti said "phone not found" no matter in wich way i used it. after this the fon would not be properly recognised by the win7 x64 pc anymore. the "Android Net MTP device" driver fails to install. some mpt driver used to work before.
after this i also worked with the lg mobile tool und the lg 3.8 mobile driver. uninstalled drivers, used other pcs, virtual oss, lg pc suite. i tried every possible combination of push buttons (i believe) and did with and without battery in the fon. the problem remains. MTP device driver fails to install.
WHAT TO DO?

i have an old device, i cant access the download mode or recovery mode just a white screen, this happen after i was trying to flash a custom recovery (twrp). any have an idea? i just need to enter the download mode, and the kdz wont recognize the device

[Guide] How to update/change the ROM

Modified from my instructions posted in the wiki.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Omnia_7#Updating.2FChanging_the_ROM
Updating/Changing the ROM
Before continuing with any of the following processes, you should note that (at present) there is no way to back up your user data. Things such as your contacts and emails can be re-downloaded from your phone since they are stored on remote servers. Multimedia items which have been synced with Zune to your PC can also manually be transferred back to your phone. However, things such as personalisation settings, SMS and MMS are lost. Programs can, of course, be re-downloaded from the Marktetplace - but this, again, is a manual process.
This process may also help your recover a "bricked"device - or rather one which does not successfully boot up into Windows Phone fully.
Hard Reset / Full Format
You may wish to hard reset the phone if you are experiencing software errors which are not fixed after a soft reset (pulling the battery out) or if you wish to clear the phone (i.e. you've just bought the phone second hand or are selling the phone).
To hard Reset your Omnia 7 without booting into Windows Phone 7, you have to:
Turn off the phone.
Turn on the phone, holding the Power + Volume DOWN + Camera buttons
Hit home button (Start) twice to begin.
Update/Change the ROM
Disclaimer:You should note that this process may void your warranty! Neither I nor xda will be held responsible for any damage caused, or refusal of warranty, by following this guide.
Before you can update your ROM you'll need to see if you can access the phone's Download Mode.
Accessing Download Mode
To update your ROM software, you will need to be able to access the phone's download mode.
Turn off the phone
Turn on the phone, holding down the Power + Volume UP + Camera buttons simultaneously.
When the phone turns on, release the power button.
A yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and a "download mode” message should appear.
If you are successful in this then you can continue with the flash. If you are unable to access download mode, then your phone has a faulty(?) bootloader. Follow the instructions in this forum post.
Download your ROM and flash tools
To flash the new ROM you will need:
Your new ROM.
There are currently three ROMs available though the only difference is their locale (which you can change later in the settings). The 8700XXJK1 ## 2010 November CSC_Cetus_Europe_I8700XENJK1 can be found here. The ROM package is compressed in .rar format, the password is samfirmware.com
Edit: A nice sticky thread now exists with loads of ROMs available here
Samsung Mobile USB Drivers v5.2
Can be found here
Samsung WP7 Flash Program
Can be found here
Now we're ready to flash!
Turn off your phone and disconnect it from the PC
Unrar the downloaded ROM package and install the Samsung USB drivers
Boot the phone into download mode (or insert your jig)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now connect the phone to your PC. Windows should recognise your device and install the drivers (it may check Windows Update first, you can either skip this or just let it be).
Open the WP7 flash program. If you are prompted with an md5 error, don't worry! You should see now an Active COM port (green) in the program.
Drag and drop the ROM files (all four) into the program, a small box will pop up and check the files. It will disappear.
Click start and the flash process begins!
DO NOT interrupt this process. Keep the phone and PC connected throughout. After 10-15mins the phone will reboot and you'll have your fresh new ROM.
Some things to note:
Between steps 7 and 8 everything should go automatically.
After the phone reboots for the fist time, a screen with a phone and a computer with an arrow and a red cross over the arrow will appear - this is OK!
There may be some delay between the phone asking for its new configuration settings and the flash program saying the flash is complete (a progress bar states it is still "Rebuilding"). It may be wise to just allow that progress bar to complete before inserting the new settings.
Depending upon what ROM you flash, you will find that your language and locale are probably not correct. You will need to change these in "Settings" for things such as Marketplace to work correctly.
If the Flash program does not recognise your device, try a different USB port. If that still doesn't work, try starting the program first and then plug in your phone.

Very good and very detailed... super job dude!
One quick question if i may... the screenshots show Vista OS i believe? Any idea if this will work on XP at all?
Thanks in advance
Yep, I think it works on Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP3, Vista and 7 - though I've only tested it on Win 7.
Let us know, if it doesn't!
Casey
i cant seem to extract the file. its failing
The updater app didn't seem to recognise the phone at first try, y had to reconnect it several times until everything went fine
Thanks, updated!

Did you enter the password? Somewhere in your rar extractor you'll have to put the password: samfirmware.com

Update successful ^^
Thanks for the guide !
Omnia 7 French locked to ORANGE
Flashing the ROM always seemed quite complicated to me. But after going thorugh the guide and flashing my phone successfully I have to say it actually quite easy.
Thanks for the guide.
Flashing is quick and easy with this guide, very n00b friendly.
I have a problem :S ...

Yeah that's strange but I used to have the same problem when flashing ROMs to my HTC HD2, some of the USB ports worked and some didn't.
Glad you managed to fix it though!

had the same issue...
- first i had to use jig for downloadmode (with the 3 button "trick" i got only the restore thing)
- i plugged the phone to computer...nothing happens (driver was installed before and i have rebooted)
- i unplugged the phone and used another usb port
-> driver where installed, i thought all is fine
- i started "WP7 flash program" but the program didnt see the phone, i checked device manager and all looked fine
- i unplugged the phone and plugged it in at the usb port i used first (when the phone was in restore mode)
- wp7 flash program found my phone
- flashed and all was fine
btw had a t-mobile (de) branded one and didnt get the 7008 update...now i have it in no time
€dith
i think marketplace and zune (on the phone) are now much more stable#
@dith 2:
marketplace ist much much much more stable compared to my original image and i had bad lags, now...no lags.
I dont know if the 7008 update makes this all or just the new firmware
EDIT. It works!
Is it possible to reverse this incase you need to return your phone for repair etc ?

Download Mode
When I try to put my Omnia 7 into download mode using the 3 buttons I get a screen showing a phone to the left with a zig zag arrow to a laptop on the right. Is this an alternative download mode screen or is it the "bad" downloader??

Do you have P990 or SU660? If you are not sure check the sticker under the battery and report me back. Don't worry we can bring back your phone to life
yeah, true. this device is really unbrickable
one of its favours...
What operating system are you using.
are you running each of the flashing programs in Admin mode (for win vista and over)
drivers installed correctly.
using the Back USB ports. (if using a desktop computer)
Using USB 2.0 ports (3.0 ports have been giving others problems with flashing)
use a easy installer rom with NV flash .bat files for easy flashing / brick recovery like topo's ICS rom, or stefan;s GB rom
or try the AIO tool in my sig, to flash your BL / PL and recovery, then flash you rom of choice.
let me know what computer your using, and if your have any 3rd party cables, or usb hubs in use during flash. (these items are not recommended during flash)

can you give me links to those nvflash? i've already tried tons of nvflash posted here in xda with no luck. always end up with "partitioning error" something like that.
EDIT2: here is the link to the image ( h t t p:// s7. postimage. org/qcvncyvkb/wew.jpg ) just remove the space, i cannot post outside links atm sorry
EDIT3: okay, somehow i got it upto this part ( h t t p ://s1.postimage.org/f602rntq7/wewew.jpg ) but as you can see its still stuck! the numbers are not moving at all still no improvement
I made you a little rescue pack. It is for SU660, but works with my P990 as well. Download the rar attached to this post. Unpack it. Plug your phone to the computer. Double klick on flash.bat. After the flashing procedure finished you should be able to put your phone into SW download mode and you can flash stock rom with smart flash. If the flashing fails, I highly recommend to try it again on a different USB port, or on another computer.

Yes froyo is one of the stock roms, but you can flash ginger bread or ICS if you want.
V10 is for froyo
V20 is for gingerbread
V30 is for ics
But DO NOT mix stock SU660 rom with P990 or your phone will be dead again.

install usb drivers manually
if u r on win8 u should know to disable driver signature and etc (all tutorials are available)
then to find solution calm down, and check what did u do exactly step by step
not deleting another rom (i m opinion) cannot cause hard-brick cause almost of custom recoveries wipe everything themselves before start to flash new rom...

i don know what device is for xperia
but sth called Box is for galaxies that can reinstall rom from initial binaries... so it can help to recover almost dead phone
and some special tools again for galaxies, like g-tag or ...
i know them cause i hard-bricked my s3
But i didn't have any access to these tools... so my my s3 pasted away...
for ur situation; search more for these kindda tools and take it asap to pro. service or professional hardware engineer
good luck
:good:
Do you have ADB set up? See if ADB recognizes fastboot mode. Then maybe you can fastboot flash. But as far as I can tell with my limited knowledge the bootloader seems to be corrupted, which is probly irrepairable. Maybe you can get some of the real devs to help you if you ask nicely enough, I'm just a lurker...

qhsusb_dload= qualcomm driver needed(but it wont change any thing). Only boot repair can solve this problem nothing else.
Ask riff box users about help.

[HELP] Phone is stuck at Linux Penguin Logo ( Bootloader, Recovery Not Responding)

Good Morning Guys,
I have Redmi 4X 64GB version. The phone has unlocked bootloader and was running on Havoc OS V2.5 and the phone was rooted.
About a week ago the phone is suddenly got into weird state. And i am unable to figure out what to do.
The phone is gotten into Linux Penguin Logo. I am attaching an image with that problem. And also phone in not responding to any physical power+volume button integration. Any combination just takes me to this Penguin Screen. Here are some thing i have already tried to do but not working at all. Although when i connect this device to computer with this Penguin Logo screen it does get detected as fastboot device but so far that isn't helping.
Some tricks that i have already tried but not working:-
1. I have booted my phone into edl mode and installed fastboot rom via miflash tool, and it is successfully installed but after pressing power+volume button it is the same screen as Penguin Logo. [so Not Working]
2. I have opened the phone disconnect the battery and tried some combinations but still no luck.
3. Used every combination with power button as well as connected to pc and used fastboot commands but not working out.
4. TWRP installation get failed. ( will attach the preview).
So, Please anyone has any clue or anyone has ever face this same problem please reach out to me. Any Honect answer will work.
Sorry i am new at writing thread. So if any mistake i am sorry.
Images:
If you still have custom recovery installed then try flashing latest firmware.
i've found this similar having issue video on youtube of Redmi 3S(Appears to be) and how it got solved, please check it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMZ08qQrqnc
i am not sure if those files are limited to Redmi 3S or can be use on other xiaomi devices but it gives some sort of idea what you should try. and video language i don't understand and maybe you understand maybe not but should be understandable by watching video.
Thanks for replying. But that is the problem i am unable to reach anywhere not bootloader nor recovery. The phone is just showing the linux penguin logo whether you use power and volume combination or you do the same via connecting to pc.
I think he has that download link in description. But that link requires password for opening .rar file. And i do not trust that guy. That file may have some bloatware or virus or something. If you find same file that he has please share that file over here so that i can use it.
Thanks.

Did you solve the problem? I'm stuck in it and after trying all the things (including deciphering that rar file very doubtful, which I did not achieve) I'm empty of ideas
try to put the phone in edl mode...open the phone case and disconnect the battery wire..if u have tweezer then try touching it to testpoints and then plug the usb cable at the same time...a driver will install on ur computer named (qdloader9008)....open miflash tool then try flashing it via the tool...
Time to use Device as Paper Weight

Sorry Bro, Nothing is working at all. I mean i am IT Engineer and i have tried all things but still no luck. So, my thinking is the boot loader is too much damaged so there is nothing that can be written on it, no TWRP or no any data partition, it's all out of option. I have started using the phone as Paper Weight.
I am still hoping that someone can solve this problem and get back to me. Fingers Crossed
Thank You.
Not Working, Already tried:

Sorry Bros, Already tried all things that you have mentioned in the post and its not working at all. If somehow we can change the memory storage chip on the phone that contains the bootloader then the phone can come back to its normal form.
Try to turn fastboot if you turn this on then you are on good situation . Boot TWRP and try installing rom again ( with wiping data, cache,vendor,system,dalvik,and might internal storage)
Your problem solved or still u r stuck?
To answer your question, yeah i got it done. Actually where i live, there is repair shop guy that i know he got it done for just 500rs. I don't know how he do that.
Here is my own tested solution for you !
In my case, when i try to install boot logo on Redmi 5 then this happened.
And yet last . i find the great solution by Miassistant
.1. Download Miassistant on PC
2. Download ADB Driver for your Pc
3. Download (Recovery Rom) not Fastboot Rom
5. press volume up + Power for (Miassistant mode)
6. Flash from Miassistant
Thanks for the solution. My device is already fixed, but i this solution can work. If something like this happens in future we can try this out. But i really wanna know what causes this thing to be happened?

Sorry if this is not the place for post this, but I read a lot of cases that people have their phones stuck in Linux Icon, after a fail installing a ROM, this same case happened to me in a Xiaomi Mi 5 S Plus, one of the devices of Xiaomi, with less support because there were not to much units manufactered.
In mi case, after try to put the device in the fastboot mode, that was impossible I had to put the MI5 s Plus in EDL mode, using the 2 test points pins in the motherboard, and using Miflash for instal a fastboot rom.
I ll explain the steps;
A- Install MiFlash, in your computer, with all the drivers
B-Download a stable Fastboot ROM for your device, you can find it easily in the forums. ( In my case was the "natrium_global_images_V10.2.4.0.OBGMIXM_20190424.0000.00_8.0_global_07f157530a" with MIUI 10 for the Xiaomi MI5 S Plus (natrium) )
C- Put your device in EDL mode
Normally if you are stuck in the linux mode, this is your only solution for put the device in EDL mode, use the 2 test points in the motherboard of the phone.
Check in internet, where are located the test pins in your device, is different for every model. ( I attached a image of the 2 test points in Mi 5 S Plus)

}
For put the device in EDL mode:
1- Disassemble the back cover of your phone
2- Disconect the battery
3- Connect the usb cable to the phone, but not connect yet to the computer
4-Use something metallic, like a clip, wire, or tweezers, and touch the 2 Test points at the same time in the motherboard and while you re touching this 2 points connect the USB to the computer
5-You ll hear the sound in the computer that recognizes a new device conected, after that you can remove the clip or wire from touching the 2 points in the board of the phone
6-Open Miflash and have to appear a device connected like COM...., If don´t appear , you can make the process again (there is no problem if you make the steps with the MIflash open)
7- Select the option Flash all (clean all) in Miflash for install the fastboot rom
8- If some error appears during the installation, check the fastboot rom, I ll try 2 or 3 differents versions before one that was completely installed without error
9- If the installation is correct, your phone will be restart, and take some minutes for the first boot after the installation.
In my case, with this device and other Xiaomi devices, to put the phone in EDL mode, and install a stable official fastboot rom, was the only solution for this kind of software problems, I hope this post help someone

Question [CLOSED] Xiaomi 12 Pro Completely Bricked/Dead

Hello, a friend brought this device complete dead, he bricked the phone after attempting to flash global rom, i can't put the device to edl and the computer doesn't detect the device, on charger is drawing power to charge the battery. Is there something different with these snapdragon 8 gen 1 chips? What i'm missing? Warranty or Xiaomi Service Center isn't an option.
The only info in chinese for 12 Pro is this - http://m.shuajibao.com/course/hongminote5a_gao/24583.html
In english didn't find anything
How to Put a Qualcomm Phone into EDL Mode
Qualcomm into EDL - Utilize EDL in Investigations | Magnet Forensics
Emergency Download (EDL) mode is a Qualcomm feature that can allow you to recover data from a device and perform tasks like unbricking or flashing the device. On supported devices, Magnet AXIOM can use EDL to extract a full image.

Can this help?
Just for the record, I found the testing points of the Xiaomi 12 PRO, the mobile was set in EDL mode and the Global rom was installed with success.

I'm now with the ROM from xiaomi.eu
So, what went wrong the first time? I saw this time that despite doing the same things, after the script finished everything, it took some secs to see the MIUI logo, something that never appeared the first time. Also, because I used help this time to be sure that I wont have the same problems as first time, the technician installed me 2 drivers that where missing and the mobile wasn't recognized correctly. I have windows 11. So I guess check drivers, connect original cable directly on pc and cross your fingers that all will work ok.
Just to let you know guys, when the phone is in EDL mode, there's no indication about it, no logo etc. You just have to turn on your phone and it will automatically enter EDL mode if you had a soft brick. To fix it you need to connect your smartphone to the PC and use an EDL flashing enabled account on Mi Flash, that's all. The problem with the OP was that he probably was missing the right drivers and the phone wasn't getting recognised
