Hello friends, new user and noob here.
I came to this forum thanks to a thread of user @Warlockguitarman who explains how to root/unlock LG phones in general.
My problem is that I tried to downgrade this phone to unlock the GSM carrier (original MetroPCS) using LGUP and an old firmware of the carrier, and the downgrade worked, but the unlocker tool didn't work with that firmware, so I tried again with the oldest firmware I could find (10F) and well, the phone became a nice little brick since then.
Working with different solutions, and thanks to the tutorial by @Warlockguitarman I somewhat make some progress, and now the device is recognized as Mediatek without the connect/disconnect status and I can use SP Flash Tool.
The thing is I don't have anything to work with. I found a scatter file alledgly for K51, but it didn't work.
Maybe some user here have scatter from a backup to try to revive this thing?
Thanks all for your time and responses! I appreciate any help I could get.

Unbricking isn't so difficult.
Since the device now gets detected in BROM Mode (Mediatek USB Port), the next thing is to build a scatter file from your extracted kdz then go the SP flash tool + MTK Bypass route or just use MTK Client
Building a scatter is a little beyond my experience.
Is there any guide or tutorial to learn how to do it?
Many thanks for your answer!

Check on youtube how to convert lg kdz to scatter file
Hi, I've made a thread on this forum because I have the same issue with a K52, I have a scatter file and partitions, I tried to flash them with SP Flash Tool, but the phone still doesn't start, can anyone help me please ?
Here is what I tried :
Please help !! I bricked my LG K52
Hi everybody, I may need the help of someone very experimented in flashing smartphones with Mediatek chipsets, I wanted to unlock the bootloader of my K52, so I downgraded it to Android 10, then I unlocked it with MTKClient, but it got stuck in a...

Dear all,
I've been chasing on every single website for a XML firmware of Samsung J415G.
Apparently the only way is using QFIL to flash the main boot.
Does anyone have that kind of firmware? The firmware could be "Flat build" or "Meta build" or a ".mbn" file.
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, most manufacturers do not make these files available. If they did, I'd be able to recover my bricked Pixel 2.

Shame on them!
I've tried so many things...
There are many paid """solutions""" out there. I am afraid it would not help either.

And a lot of it is snake oil, honestly. I do think there needs to be a bigger market for de-bricking, but most OEMs and repair centers don't bother attempting low level flashing; they just replace the mainboard, after programming it with the original IMEI.

Exacty. I totally agree with you.
And because of this, tons of smartphones become a garbage. Often not worth repairing. I think is a waste.
I just found a list of firehose files, organised by brand. It might help someone out there:
GitHub - bkerler/Loaders at b39741a9b96160755b963819d52dfe589f7a3a62
EDL Loaders. Contribute to bkerler/Loaders development by creating an account on GitHub.

And another list of Qualcomm Prog eMMC Firehose file:
Collection of All Qualcomm EMMC Programmer file Download
Qualcomm EMMC Prog Firehose files download for all Qualcomm Chipsets Devices.You can Download and Use it for remove Screen lock on Qualcomm Supports Devices
www.gadgetsdr.com
PS: None of those files worked on the device J415G.
Yeah, those lists are barely organized and no information is provided. I would assume you'd need one corresponding to your SoC but I'm not sure.
Hi all,
I need a N976V U7 (USB only) DEAD-BOOT file / DEAD-FIX file / DEBUG EMERGENCY / 9008 / UnBrick / firehose programmer
The SM-N976V is a Verizon variant of the Note 10+ 5G positioned for the US market.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!
Thank you.

you dont need that as far as you can get into EDL mode you can flash with miracle tool box
So the Miracle Tool support SM-N976V SW Rev . bit7 (U7) ? I didn't find it specifically mentioned anywhere. In the EDL mode the Qualcomm sm8150 requires the firehose programmer. For other models this file seems to available so there is hope that for this model it can also be obtained from GSPN USA probably or from a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who passed by a Samsung building once wink wink.

am telling you from experience it happened to my device i bricked it and i used miracle tool crack with just stock rom i did the EDL i just selected scatter file etc and i flashed and that was it
Anyways Good luck unbricking
Which update was it? I think the problem is the bit7 / U7 the firehose for that is another one if it worked for previous versions.

Okay,
I unpacked the firmware got the scatter file put the device in edl mode (with pins) and flashed the device .
But make sure you watch legit tutorials on YouTube how to get miracle tool box crack

I've deleted your other post in this thread for the same reasons I already provided you here:
[RELEASED] TWRP FOR REDMI 12C/Poco C55
So I've started development for device trees, TWRP and custom for Redmi 12C (earth) and by the end of may we should also have a rom and custom recovery for our Redmi 12C. So stay tuned

Which firmware and which scatter file? It won't work with wrong ones. More specifics please.
Did you have a pre-made scatter file, that you have made before bricking/EDL ?
It is important to be precise.

Your stock rom it is in your stock rom just unpack it or use ODIN to unbrick
Odin does not see the phone because the phone is in 9008 EDL mode and the driver for that one is from Qualcomm. Odin wants a mode and driver from Samsung. For the Samsung download - Odin mode to work, the later Boot stages need to load. Those are messed up by wrong etoken bypass for the wrong Update version or wrong BL or tripepd knox erasure of the entire flash or something of that sort.
In the stock ROM I do not know which file you can call a scatterfile? Is it the PIT file which is used for formatting?
This is the 'stock ROM' correct ? https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-N976V/VZW/N976VVRU7HWB2
Well for sure the Miracle Box has a huge collection of loaders in the distribution, as well as XML files. Very interesting.
@Gudaji, it seems, however that with U7 there may be needed a new loader. The update "bit" is somehow set inside the CPU, which, from my understanding, prevents older loaders from working?

First of all do you have miracle tool box?
If so go to the Qualcomm tab and you will se flash tab under and then you select the files from your “extracted” firmware and flash while in EDL mode
The "Miracle Box Update 3.39 to 3.40 only for PS" informs me there is a new version and does not start. Maybe I do not have the right one.

First off how did you brick your device
Spammed the download mode with some wrong files. older etoken bypass, vbmeta disabled, KG disabled , eng. files, modem from other model, boot from other model, twrp recovery not sure which exactly was a successful flash and which were rejected due to checksum mismatch.

Recently i hard bricked my newly released and bought Xiaomi Redmi 12c (earth) and it was a hard brick i mistakenly flashed preloader ( with sp flash-tool) while trying to unbrick it when it was still in a soft brick, so i didn't know what to do i went all over the internet i read forums threads all of that went on telegram some services were asking for 15USDT for xiaomi auth edl verification, so after i tried everythinh nothing worked i almost gave up until i gave mtkclient-main ( https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient ) (check out this youtube guide on how to set it up
) one last chance after i found this thread online on havoctek website ( https://www.hovatek.com/blog/my-experience-unbricking-a-xiaomi-redmi-note-11-pro-5g-china/ ) and i tried all the commands sadly didn't work. But once i ran this command

after i ran this command everything changed the preloaoder that wa bricked came back to normal and i unlocked the device bootloader without using the official app to unlcok again caise it said i cannot unlock twice in a month the tool i used was from technobuzz.net it worked perfectly i could not recommend it enough link of website- https://www.technobuzz.net/unlock-bootloader/ or better still watch their video on youtube on how they did it
the bootloader unlock file and drivers are attached here so you should stress your self in looking for it
and i flashed my STOCK ROM on my device with mi flash since you needed an unlocked bootloader to flash.
so thank you for taking your time in reading if it helped just leave a like and good luck with the unbricking
AND MAKE SURE YOU CHEK YOUR IMEI NUMBER ON https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei AND CONFIRM YOUR ORIGINAL ROM WHETHER INTERNATIONAL(GLOBAL) OR EUROPE OR CHINA INDIA RUSSIA ETC CAUSE IF YOU FLASH WRONG (region) ROM WITH PRELOADER YOUR DEIVCE MIGHT BRICK.
