LG G5 H850: only download mode, recovery and fastboot available - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
I have a LG 850, bought in Belgium (carrierless), it was running latest LG nougat stock software when I started fiddling. (This was on the 6th of Jan)
TL;DR: What I did: rooted, installed TWRP and custom ROM (on Nougat 7.1). Worked fine. Then wanted to revert back to stock since it didn't solve the issues I had beforehand. Tried to figure out LG UP, LG Bridge, LG Flash Tool, in the end I managed to install a KDZ file through LG UP (using Uppercut), but it must've been the wrong one because the phone always defaults to recovery mode when booting.
How do I solve this? I can access download mode (LG UP sees the phone), I can use fastboot, and managed to reflash TWRP recovery so I have that too.
Long version: I had GPS and screen burn-in issues. I tried sending the phone back for repair , but LG simply put my phone on an earlier software version, no help. I can't really miss my phone for work (takes 2 weeks) so dealt with it. In the end it bugged me a lot, so decided I should try a custom ROM: installing this went fine. I ran Fulmics for a while, but it didn't solve my problems: must be a hardware issue. That's when I decided to revert back to stock and relock the bootloader to be able to send it back again (I'm using a nexus 5X as backup now). I'm not sure if they'll accept the return (since I've unlocked the phone's bootloader by using LG's dev website), but it's worth a try.
The process in the other direction went south really quickly: I think I accidentally erased the wrong partitions, so I ended up with a phone that only had download mode. I managed to install a KDZ file through LG UP (used the upgrade button, not refurbish, as it was the only one that worked). This didn't help, so I used fastboot to reflash recovery with TWRP.
After this, I tried a bunch of different KDZ files, as I'm not sure how to figure out which one is the correct one for my phone... When I begin to install a KDZ file the log in download mode shows me LG H85020a on the third line, is this the value representing my phone? IMEI lookup tells me: Location code: N, Network Code: NLD, Carrier: NLD.

The refurbish button has never worked, I always get the error "Refurbish is not available for this device". Refurbish often ends in "Invalid command response code".
Can anyone point me in the direction of the correct KDZ file, or a way to reset the phone? If not, it's going to be one expense frisbee...
Thanks all!
Greetz from Belgium.

so you successfully flash the KDZ to the phone using LGUP and when it finishes the phone reboots itself, right?
and when it boots.. it boots into stock recovery each time.. which is wiping data? and then it reboots and goes right back into stock recovery?
I'm confused as to what's happening EXACTLY after the KDZ flashes and the phone reboots.
and once you install TWRP... no matter what the phone just reboots back into TWRP and never into Android?
in TWRP try the following:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc
reboot
and see if android boots this time after the reboot.

Okay. Weird stuff happened.
I'd like to thank you for your answer, but I ended up not using it.
I decided, while waiting for an answer, to retry all KDZ files in my possession. I started LG UP through Uppercut, and tried H85020a_00_VDF_COM_OP_1030.kdz which in theory shouldn't work, because it's a lower android version than the one I had before. Refurbish didn't work, but the Update button did the trick! Not sure what happened differently this time...
He reset everything, gave me stock software. He did the same thing as before: erasing phone (round shiny ring), message about unlocked bootloader, show LG logo, then the moving logo with music, and rebooted. But right after the moving logo it showed a white screen with text I couldn't read fast enough before it rebooted again. After a while I figured out it was something about an encrypted phone and a pasword mismatch, and that my device needed to be wiped. It did that (had to be quick to click it), it erased itself, and the thing booted up just like that.
I relocked the bootloader using fastboot and it works fine. Ready to be shipped back to LG
I'm running V20a-EUR-XX it says in the settings, I guess that's fine.
Thank you for the help anyway. I hope this explanation helps other users too...

You can find the KDZ files for most H850s at the following link: http://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/
While I don't see Belgium as one of the many listed regions, you might be running the NEU (Northern Europe) version. Good luck!

thanks for your reply. You can see above i retraced the steps I already tried, and somehow now the phone works.
I ended up using H85020a_00_VDF_COM_OP_1030.kdz which did the trick!

LG D280N does not boot to Android

Hello,
My LG-D280N is bricked... i think... every time it boots it goes on a purple screen called Demigod crash handler, it also does the same thing when i try to factory reset it
So i had no choice but to flash a new room to hopefully fix it, THANKFULLY it does go to download mode without crashes and it does show up on my device manager as "Android bootloader interface" but even so the flashtool says port(USB or Serial) not found, here is what the phone says
{
"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",

}
As i was writing all that, it actually booted to android!!!! but there are infinite " app stopped" messages, it's impossible to go to settings and try to hard reset or rather it's impossible to go anywhere, looks to me like re-flashing a brand new stock rom is the only choice
i should say that i put this phone in my closet two months ago and it was fine! when i tried to use it today it was like that but anyway, is there anything i can do? I really need to fix that phone
Thanks alot, i really appreciate any help
An update... the phone responds to fastboot commands from ADB tools, it doesn't show up on "adb devices" list though
Wonder if there is a way to use to use fastboot commands to flash a kdz file?
More updates... i used a tool to extract everything from the KDZ file and reflashed the following files like this:
fastboot flash boot boot.bin
fastboot flash factory factory_475136.bin
fastboot flash factory recovery.bin
fastboot flash aboot aboot_144384.bin
fastboot flash aboot abootb_150528.bin
Now i could of have done something either right or extremely stupid BUT ever since i did that factory reset mode actually worked! no more demigod crash handlers and i also stopped seeing those small "boot verification errors" in the corner and the phone actually booted and saw the initial welcome screen, so it actually factory reseted! BUT even though it did I STILL saw the sea of "*instert app here* has stopped" which makes it impossible to navigate the phone
But for whatever reason, it's now stuck on the startup logo after a reset, well even if i screwed up badly, download mode still works like before sooo it's not much different, at the very least i got rid of the stupid demigod crash handler
I've been working on that phone for hours now... been researching on google with little to no information about this at all, most solutions involve the flash tool WHICH doesn't work so i had to come up with my own ideas... and to make matters worse nobody here has gave me clues on how to fix it which is why i give these updates, maybe all this information will help you come up with a solution
Another update... i was wondering why it wouldn't be detected by my flashtool... until it hit me... the download mode itself has problems, thankfully fastboot still worked and i was able to reflash it using one of the files i extracted from the KDZ file
After this, my download mode now works correctly, it displays everything right and is now recognized by the flashtool! finally some real freaking progress, working on this thing is such a pain but finally im getting somewhere, but it's not over yet, right now im waiting for the device to reach 40% of charge before i flash the rom, hopefully no errors will occur as it has already been a HUGE pain and time consuming
Final update... i have successfully flashed the stock rom, after a whole day of trial and error i did it, let me summarize
My problem was mostly that the download mode itself needed to be reflashed, for whatever reason it was broken or not properly configured but whatever the case, it needed to be reflashed using fastboot in order to work correctly and be recognized by the LG Flashtool, after i reflashed it, it was fine and the LG Flashtool FINALLY recognized my device, but the LG Flashtool would CRASH whenever i clicked the "Read Phone Information" button, not sure why but i tried 4 times until it finally worked, not sure what happened there but who cares, it worked out, then it finally started flashing until it said "error connecting to the server", took me sometime and research to realize that it's SUPPOSED to do that and that i should ignore the message and NOT close it because if i do the whole flashtool stops, after this i let it sit in the background and do all the flashing, it was fine until 77%, it gave me an error message and said that i should try to reset my device back into download mode, then it retried doing the whole process all over again AND THANKFULLY this time it successfully did it, the phone now boots to Android as normal, the sea of "app stopped" message is also gone thankfully and so that's pretty much it...
My absolute stupid mistakes and problems with this could help other people avoid those same mistakes and problems so i won't delete the post since as i said, it can prove to be useful to others

Boot loop after installing latest update from LineageOS lineage-14.1-20180719-nightly

My fellows and friends,
One of these days, I received an update from LineageOS and when installing it from OTA ( using TWRP ), the first lines ( about 10 to 15 ) from the istallation sequence activities were all red, showing that something went wrong. Immediately I removed the batery to stop the process and installed the first version of the custom rom, using the TWRP. It worked fine and I received some notifications about the new revisions of the rom. I skipped the one that caused problems and accepetd the download the one on the Nov, 17, 2018 of the rom, and had installed. It appeared to me that everything was ok but, one day I turned the phone off during thje night. The next morning, I tryed to boot the phone without success. It started an infinite loop situation..... So, I tryed to repeat the same procedure to install the very first version of the rom using TWRP at the recovery mode. When I was using the TWRP to perform the advanced wipe, the dalvik cache, data and system could not be wiped. The answer about the problem was shown as : failed to mount /efes ( inavlid argument ).
I got the information that, in cases like that, the stock rom should be installed. I downloaded it from www.stockrom.net and had it istalled with the use of Odin. Unfortunately, the boot loop was there again.
What was worse now was that no TWRP was installed and Odin could not recognize the phone, although I had installed the newest set of drivers from Samsung, applicable to any devices from them.
Please I need your help to see if there is a possible solution to solve this case. Phone Model: GT-i9300 SSN -I9300GSMH - in Brazil
The message I got from the phone: E: failed to mount /efes ( inavlid argument )

I thank you in advance any help from you guys,

Flashing a stock ROM will always replace TWRP with the stock recovery.
Are you trying to flash the latest stock ROM?
Do you have a backup of the EFS directory? It's an important directory as that is where a lot of information, including the IMEI is stored.
Hi Audit 13, thnaks for replying.
No I don't have the back up for the folder you mentioned. I was trying to install the last stock rom downloaded from www.stockrom.net, which I suppose was the last one. The worst part is that to computer does not recognize the phone since then.... I do not know what to do. I suppose that there is not a way to back up the folder you mentioned. I think that I have to install something from the very begining, as if the phone was to receive the installation of the very first program, as if it was just coming from the factory, totaly clean. Is that so? Am I right? And, how to do it? I tryed to download the stock rom from Samsung, but I think it was difficult and could not have it accomplished.
Thanks a lot and I'm still waiting instructions of how to solve this problem.
You should try using different USB cables and different USB ports to recognize the phone.
I assume you are using Windows since you mentioned Odin. When you connect the phone, do you see any new devices appear under Device Manager?
What is the phone's model # in download mode?
Is the the ROM you used: https://www.stockrom.net/2015/11/stock-rom-original-de-fabrica-samsung_19.html ?
Did you try using Odin 3.07?
Hi Audit13!
Thanks a lot for your help! I've already got hte files you mentioned and am preparing for trying to do the procedure you taught me.
Thanks again and soon, I hope, to be back to confirm whether it succeded.
Bie....
Hi Audit13,
Unfortunately the computer is not recognizing the SGS device.
I was ready to install the sock rom you suggested, had downloaded the Odin 3.07. I use Windows 10 and the latest drivers have been installed. The phone was in the download mode and tryed all available USB port. I've waited some minutes in each USB port for recognition with no success.
I thank you for your help. Is there any other method we could try? If you could please indicate, I thank you again.
Is there a method available using ADB procedures?
Hope there is.
Thanks, anyway for the help.
Hi Audit13
I think that the situation got a little worse. I tryed to do some recovery on the emergency recovery mode, but none of them succeeded. Now, what I get when tryng to get to the recovery mode is an android robot with an open belly with a red triangle coming out of it.... It gets to thedownload mode, but no recognition from the computer. This happened after trying to ionstall the stock rom obtained from the site you mentioned. The only thing that I could do was through the Universal-Android-Diag-Enabler-V2, what made the qualcomm start. Is there a way to make a comand to the phone that could star the USB debbuging? I tryed the various ODIN versions but with no success.
There is another problem - I'm using Windows 10 and the PowerShell uses different command lines not recognized by adb. I tipped devices and the program indicated that there was an mistake.
Is ther an Instructions Booklet for Odin?
What is your opinion? Do you think that there still exists a solution for my phone's case? If so, what to do?
Please, I ask you to help me on solving this problem.
Thanks in advance...

Can't update rooted N10

I have been trying to update my phone but everytime I try the OTA it says installation failed. I ignored it for a few months now bc I didn't want to lose root after updating. How can I install the OTA? I am on MetroPCS (BE88CF)
I tried disabling AdAway thought it may be blocking the servers but that didn't work.

Pulled this from the OnePlus website
"Ok, looks like the download has failed/corrupted. Open the File Manager app > go to settings in the FM app and enable "Show Hidden Files" > then go to the device storage and look for a folder called ".OTA" - delete it and its contents. Then reboot your phone and try again."
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem. Not even unrooting fixes it. There is no .OTA folder on my phone either.

Flash stock boot.img for your model and firmware. Probably gonna need the original recovery image too if you've got anything besides stock.
Relock bootloader using fastboot.
As long as there's nothing that can be checked back as invalid, you should be able to update your phone proper.

I tried reflashing stock recovery and boot images, but it didn't work. Relocking the bootloader shouldn't be necessary, but if it is I'll just go without updating. I don't feel like having to wipe out my phone to unlock the bootloader again every time there is an update.

Sadly it's a boatload of effort to get the update. Either you go back to 100% stock, or live with it.
I said screw it and just moved everything to my memory card before using the msm reset app

I managed to get the last update installed by reinstalling 11.0.2 through the Oxygen Updater, then 11.0.3 installed fine. I was going to try to repeat this method with 11.0.3 to get to 11.0.4, but Oxygen Updater no longer allows me to download 11.0.3. I tried to sideload it and do a local update, but the phone won't find it. I can't even install it through fastboot commands because the OTA is incremental and the payload dumper won't work on it.
I was able to update by doing what you said and relocking the bootloader after reflashing stock and boot images. Relocking bricked the phone so I had to use the unbrick tool. Definitely a pain to have to do this every time, Then I ran into problems restoring my TWRP backup that I had to figure out lol. I'll probably just update every two or three updates from now on. Plus all this reflashing opens up more opportunities for RCS features to stop working on Google Messages because they are so finicky. Then my texts act up for 3-10 days until RCS starts working again. Luckily they reconnected right away this time.
Thanks for the help.

The V10 was a flagship with known bootloop & heat issues. LG extended it's warranty by 2yrs. Try https://duckduckgo.com/?q=xda unbrick v10
ok thanks let me check it out
It is a really neat phone. Mine still works.
Try clearing Davik, etc, caches.
Try pulling the battery, then holding the power button down for a few.
Try another charger and cord.
If all else fails, it might like to visit the inside of your freezer for a few min.
Anyways, dont worry it to hard. $10-$30 ones can be easily gotten on ebay.

tried the link but could not find any solution, and i cant clear cache even if the phone was on because i had booted in to recovery but there were no cammmands, and it does not boot into fastboot mode.and i am in cameroon so ebay is not an option.this phone is realy giving me a headache and right now i am not in the position to buy a new PHONE NOW.if only i had access to a box that would make things easier .there is also one thing i noticed when i disassembled the phone it written on the board F600L__EAX66751701_1.1_MAIN. I THINK THIS MEANS I ACTUALLY HAVE BUT AN F600L AND NOT F600S.BUT THEN ON LGUP IT SHOWED F600S
Once mine was updated by LG repair(vs990), LG up could not overwrite it or roll it back.
I think all other variants could be rolled back via workarounds which can be all found here within xda.
If I remember correctly it had to be plugged into a pc(?), While power button(+ volume up(?)) was held down to enter certian menus.
There is apps out now which can send it adb commands via wifi ip or bluetooth. Easy Fire Tools is one.
Often their charge ports would go bad due to a weak soder. The batteries often failed from heat. You mentioned heat.
It sounds like you may have used a wrong update file meant for a different board/variant.

Question Soft bricked 10T

Usure how I ended up in this state:
Phone is an Ace Pro 5G, originally with indian rom, that I flashed using Oxygen Updater to CPH2415_11.C.22 (GLO A13).
Everything went fine, installed Magisk started to restore all my apps... I after some reboots, it ended up in boot loop. No idea why.
I can access recovery & fastbootd througt Fastboot enhance, but the weird thing is that I cannot use the touch screen in fastbootd, only volume keys and power button to select options. Quite useless as any operation pops up a dialog, and I cannot click the OK button.
Already tried to flash through Fastboot enhance multiple versions of oxygenos, including stock rom CPH2413 A05, and it always end up in boot loop.
Any idea on what I can flash to recover from this state? My guess would be fastbootd got somehow broken...
you need sent to the after-sales,the 9008 need to authorization

after fastboot enhance flash, trying wiping the data from the recovery
Yeah so it was actually hard bricked, ended up paying thoses 20$ to get it restored though remote desktop by some oneplus employee (google ministryofsolutions)
So I've bricked again like 10 minutes after my previous, trying to restore an app using Titanium Backup. I guess it does not support oxygenos very well...
Anyway, I may have found a way to unbrick without MSM!
I tried to flash stock CPH2415 and other versions though fastboot enhance without any success (black screen, only recovery and fastbootd working every time).
What I noticed, is that my device was incorrectly recognized in fastbootd mode:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
"ossi" is the 10 Pro, not 10T... weirdly enough, it was correctly labeled in the tool before rebooting in fastbootd.
So what I tried was flashing the same playload.bin but without rebooting in fastbootd (when the device name is correctly recognized as "taro"), ignoring the bunch of unrecognized partition and the warning message "you should reboot to fastbootd".
And Tadaaaa, it worked...

You got very lucky. It means that whatever was borked wasn't a partition that needed to be flashed in fastbootd. It could have easily gone the other way as those unrecognized partitions just got skipped. Others have found this out the hard way.
Also, TiBu hasn't been updated in years. Switch to Swift Backup.

No but I did flash the same payload.bin through Fastboot enhance in fastbootd mode, which did not resolve the issue. Probably because of the incorrect detection of the 10T in 10 Pro?
Flashing the same payload.bin through Fastboot enhance in fastboot mode did the trick (and the device name was taro, not ossi)
Good advice for Swift Backup, thanks.
