I was trying to downgrade my Tribute 2 to stock firmware by following this guide:
"LG Tribute 2 LS665 Unbrick with Stock ROM"
(you can Google it, sorry I can't post links yet)
The LG flash tool "FAILED" at 99%, and now the phone is in a really bad state. I can tell that it powers on, because it shows up in Windows 10 Device Manager as a Qualcomm 9008 Gobi Modem. However, nothing appears on the screen even if I try to boot into recovery mode. So, we can assume that whatever is on the eMMC is completely hosed.
Is there any way to resurrect this phone?

Hi Gurus,
My wife handed me her phone and said it wasn't working. For a few weeks she's been having issues, i.e. overheating, apps closing, etc. I'm not sure what version she was on or if she even took the marshmallow upgrade or not. I do know that her phone was stock. She wanted to take it in or send it out to be repaired, but I told her I could get it working again. Turns out everything I try keeps failing so I need your help badly.
Symptoms at the moment:
- Can get into download mode for a brief second while connected to the computer. After plugging in the phone to the USB cable it'll go to download mode, then the screen will go to firmware update. In device manager it briefly shows up under Ports as LGE Androidnet USB (or something like that). After about 20 seconds the phone disconnects, reconnects and shows as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
- Am able, only after a battery pull and waiting 5 minutes, to vol down + power and get to recovery screen. If I try to to a factory data reset from there the screen turns off and nothing happens.
Things I've done and tried -
- Updated drivers from LG specific to VS985
- Downloaded all needed files for TOT method (VS98510B_03.tot, LGUP8974.dll, replaced Megalock file)
- Downloaded all needed files and tried to run LG Flash Tool 2014 to do KDZ method. I got it started but as soon as my phone switches from LG to Qualcomm in device manager it stops. Can't run it while the phone shows up as Qualcomm.
- Downloaded BoardDiag3.99 and tried to get the driver to show as LG instead of Qualcomm - Can't get anywhere here either.
Help!!!!

Did you try the QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode recovery method? Just Google it.
The method's the same on all devices, just needs the special driver, you to put windows in a non-signed driver enforcement mode and the 10B TOT.
Boarddiag 2.99c or 3.99 might help you, you have the tot file - it's half of the job already. Look through links in my signature

Ok, I can get the phone to show as LGE Androidnet USB now, but only after entering download mode after it causes a kernel crash upon startup. It's either a green kernel flash screen or a different kernel crash screen. I can get the phone to boot into a screen to recover via adb, sd card, etc as well.
I'm just looking to return the phone back to stock marshmallow. I'd prefer no root, just a total stock phone again for my wife to use.
The more I read the more I get confused on how I should proceed. Any clues?
Thanks

Judy ignore anything having to do with rooting or putting TWRP on, or flashing a custom ROM.
After flashing the 10B TOT, use @annoyingduck 's stickied return to stock thread on the General section to flash the 48A KDZ to be up to date.
Note that I've had the experience lately that I can't flash the 10B TOT until I flash a KDZ first. So if you have to, flash the 48A KDZ, then 10B TOT, then 48A KDZ again.
TOTs fix things that nothing else does, so that's why I recommend it in there somewhere.

Hello, I have a bricked Virgin Mobile LG LS665; here's how it happened
The LG LS665 recently got an OTA update. However, my phone was rooted, so I could not apply the update. The patch was failing because some of the system partition files had been modified. I found out that the original versions of the modified files had been backed up by the tool I used to root my phone, and thinking myself clever, I restored the original files, and applied the patch. Of course, this didn't work, and my phone got stuck at the LG logo whenever it tried to boot.
When I tried to boot it into recovery, it would give the error "Secure Boot Error 1006" and reboot to the LG logo. From what I gather, this boot error comes from the bootloader not recognizing the boot image. Dang. Not one to give up, I searched for unbrick solutions for the LG LS665, and found some. Unfortunately, the only methods I could find were for the Boost Mobile version of the phone. Reckless as I am, I decided to try the Boost Mobile unbrick process, but only managed to brick by phone harder. As a new member, I can't post a link to the unbrick process, but it involved flashing a .tot system image with LGFlashTool. I may be wrong, but my research leads me to believe the process failed because the partition tables for the Boost Mobile version and Virgin Mobile version of the phone are different.
Now my phone will not display any boot screen; I can't get it into normal, recovery, or download mode. When plugged into my computer, Windows device manager lists the phone as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". Googling that device name brings up a few tutorials of how to revive devices in this dire state, but none that seem to work without a correct system image. I believe it is possible to unbrick my poor phone, but I am not knowledgeable enough to figure it out on my own. If anyone with a clue what to do is willing to help me, I would be very grateful.
In summary, what I think I need:
Some sort of system image for the Virgin Mobile version of the LS665. (I think a .tot or .kdz file)
A kind, knowledgeable soul to point me in the right direction
Thank you for hearing my lengthy plea,
Grant Moyer

I have done so much and probably have everything I need downloaded already but I am stuck.
LG - K 7 - Family Mobile (Wal-Mart/T-Mobile) phone
Tried to root it and got stuck into a security loop and was able to get into download mode at that point, I used LGUP and now my phone will not do anything. I can not get my computer to recognize it, it does nothing when plugged into charger. Its like stuck off so I cant get to a download screen flash my phone back to the way it was. Please I need help, ive found all the links to people in similiar situations as me and none of them have unlocked this BLACKOUT BRICKED UNLOCK ABLE MODE!
Different programs from android studios to LGUP to ADB and Fastboot, LG support tool, LG Flash Tool, and all the necessary files like LGUP_Lab_Frame_Ver_1_10, LGUP_K330, LGK330.dz, The K33011e (Walmart Family Mobile) zip file, proper .kdz files and some others.
PLEASE HELP ME.
