Problem:
LG L90 stuck at LG Boot Logo;
Cannot enter download mode;
Stuck at factory reset screen (factory reset processing)
and cannot enter recovery;
Cannot enter fastboot mode;
Cannot enter qhsusb mode, or Qualcomm 9008 mode;

Attention: All the unbricking process is made WITHOUT the

battery in the phone.

If your device is recognized in device manager as qhsusb_bulk or Qualcomm HS-USB

QDloader 9008 jump to part 2.

Part 1 – Put the phone in qhsusb mode:

1.1 Disassembly the phone: Vídeo
1.2 Find the Test Point;
Test Point
(Compatible whith the folloing models: D400h, D400hn, D405, D405h, D405n, D405tr, D410, D410h,
D410hn, D415, D415rd)
1.3 Connect the usb cable to the device (don’t connect it to pc yet);

1.4 Prepare the Test Point wires;

(I personally use an usb extension)

1.5 Short the phone resistor;
1.6 Connect the usb cable to pc;
1.7 Wait until Windows to recognize the device;
1.8 Disconnect the Test Point;

Now you should have the phone in qhsusb mode (Device Manager shows “QHSUSB_BULK”
or “Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008”).
If the phone doesn’t get recognized repeat this steps again.

If you see “Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008” in Device Manager jump to the part 2;
If you see “QHSUSB_BULK” in Device Manager follow the next steps:
1.1.1 Download L90_Drivers.zip; (https://3r0xub.s.cld.pt)
1.1.2 Install the DriverL90;
1.1.3 If Windows can’t install it properly, restart the pc and press F8 repeatedly, a boot menu will appear,
select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". Then you need to repeat everything from the beginning
(Step 1.1);
1.1.4 Even if you can’t install it properly, try to install the AlternativeDriver. Then you need to repeat the
whole process from the beginning (Step 1.1);

Part 2 – Restore Phone les:

2.1 Unzip L90_Hardbrick.zip; (https://ntqyw2.s.cld.pt)
2.2 Start boarddiag (b2b.exe);
2.3 Choose “W7 G2MDS (MSM8226)” Chipset;
2.4 Choose Port according to the port you see in the Device Manager;
2.5 Select your “Target Dir”;
2.6 Check “AP check”;
2.7 Check “EMMC”;
2.8 Press “START” button;

2.9 After some time you should see “PASS” in AP and EMMC. Then you just need to check “RESTORE BOOT
IMG” and ash the les in this order:
1- aboot;
2- BackupGPT;
3- boot;
4- laf;
5- PrimaryGPT;
6- recovery;
7- rpm;
8- tz;
9- sbl1;

After ashing all the les remove the usb cable, put the phone back together, and turn it on. Now you
should have the phone working again.

If you get "device was not found in dload trying ash programmer" error, go to Device Manager,
expand the COM ports section, right click on the QDloader 9008 device, select Update Driver
Software, follow the steps and point to the DriverL90. Reboot your PC and try the steps again. (Thanks
@krusli)

If the phone hangs on LG Boot Logo, do a factory reset.

Factory Reset
1. Turn o the device;
2. Press and hold Volume Down key + Power Key;
3. Release Power key when LG logo appear;
4. Press and hold Power key again;
5. Release all keys when Factory Data Reset menu appears;

After that, you have to o ine ash a stock KDZ for your L90 variant

This is probably the last resort for those that cannot get into any mode or
get their phone recognized in PC.

Too bad a complete disassembly is necessary since the test points are in

For me, the easiest way to connect 'this point' to GND is as I show in the
third picture, you can also get a piece of wire and connect the GND to the
resistor, something like this:

Atention, be carefull to not connect the wire anywhere else than those two
points.
To know when you should disconnect the wire, just turn on your computer
speakers, when you hear a sound like when you attach a ash drive, it's
time to disconnect the wire.

Junior Member Thanks it's work now all good i can see qualcomm, but It's not my problem
Thanks Meter: 0 coz when i start phone its still the same problem i mean when LG logo
  dissapear automatically running android update 2/2 part and after several
More  seconds i have error on black screen. I think i need format but i don t know
how to do it, i saw yestarday i can go into s/w mode but lg ash tool don t
help too with installing new android, on computer i have 4.4.2 and lollipop
for lg l90 and i just can see after installing 4.4.2 in s/w mode i have rooted
device but nothing more it s still the same problem with update. I think
error say something about fonts.

Edit:
I install 4.4.2 drivers in lollipop from this hardbrick.zip and that s why
perhaps its not working, i install drivers from lollipop and now i don t see
update but just logo and i can t get into recovery, i try install now original
KDZ

these le to lollipop

I think you used the recovery images from a di erent model to launch

download mode. The hardbrick le is nothing more than the partition tables
and partitions images backups until the laf mmcblk0p15 of an unknown L90
variant (probably D410 dual-SIM without NFC). I believe you are able to x
this by rooting, unlocking the bootloader and ashing the whole bootstack
from you model. When I say whole, I mean all partitions you'll nd inside
the KDZ of your model (except for GPT tables of course). A TWRP ashable
zip can be easily setup for this task. Many people can face this problem but
I think this is the solution, the hardbrick le is a good start so you can
launch download mode and after ash the proper images of your exact
model.

I'm not sure this will solve your problem, but I believe this is the cause.

Whats your variant and what kdz you are trying to ash (kk or ll)? If your
bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed, I can arrange the
ashable zip for you, all you'll have to do it's to drag and drop the les into
the zip.

So... I ash all available partitions KDZ and yet this V20b - OP1 -HQ the only
partition that I found in KDZ was the " MISC " would be the problem ? I take
this partition and ashing by fastboot ? I have unlocked bootloader and
TWRP recovery and fastboot mode too!
I have another D410hn! Maybe i make backup the misc partition and ash
on my device!

Hi @Thi_Memoria sorry , I've been a little busy , and so I've not been able to
watch this thread as much as I wanted.
Now that you have the phone working you have to ash (o ine) the KDZ
suitable for your device.
Here you can see how to ash your kdz: http://forum.xda-
