[HOW TO] Fix your hard-bricked LG G2



DISCLAIMER These methods were not found by me. I am just simply making a noob friendly guide.
Okay guy's I'm back with a guide on how to recover your cellphone from a hard brick. Apologies for the late thread.
This means your phone is the following:
- completely black doesn't turn on
- doesn't display anything on the screen
- qhsusb_bulk mode
- and lastly Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

Notes:
1. You DO NOT need to pry open your cellphone
2. This method is for 9008 mode, I am not sure about 9006 mode.
3. You don't need no VM (virtual machine) or Windows XP machine. I got mine working on Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit
4. Most tutorials/guides don't include the first part of this one and about turning off your phone
5. If after you have completed all the steps and your phone is still not booting into the interface but you do see the LG G2 logo
please follow the steps on my other tutorial/guide that I made here

Prerequisites:
A) Qcomm Drivers (Virus Scan)
B) BoardDiag v2.99a (Virus Scan)
C) Choose your phones correct TOT model here or here
D) Make sure you have Visual C++ Redistributable Packages and or system libraries installed (Only if you can't open BoardDiag program)

1. Install the Qualcomm Driver









After you installed the driver, you should see qhsusb_bulk mode turn into Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008




2. Open up BoardDiag & extract the .TOT file which makes a partition.txt file that you need. Once the extraction is finished you will notice another window open up that says "complete"




Extracted files will look as such




3. Now change the following:



- AP Chipset (PICK the right model for your cellphone)
- Choose the correct port (the port you saw once you installed the driver)
- Change the "Target Dir" (to where ever you extracted your .TOT file)
- AP check (check mark it)
- EMMC TEST (check mark it)
- SDRAM TEST (possibly optional but I had mine checked)





4. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT



BEFORE you click "start" You need to unplug your cellphone and make sure it is off.
now you are probably saying "it is off, because its not displaying anything" that's not true. Make sure its off by pressing the power button for 1 minute.
After you have done that, Hold down the volume + (Volume up) then plug in your phone to the USB. Then click start
OTHERWISE
you will see this error




5. After you have done everything above correctly you will see something like the image below (which is my image after I fixed my hard-bricked phone)







That's it guys & gals after you have done all of these steps you will have a full working cellphone once more! enjoy!
