Updating drivers

Prerequisites

Boot to EDL

  • Open Device Manager on your PC
  • With the phone turned off, hold volume down + power.
  • After the screen turns dark, while still holding volume down + power, start rapidly pressing the volume up button.
  • Keep doing this until you see QDLoader 9008 or QUSB_BULK in the Device Manager on your PC.
  • If the device has a ⚠️ yellow warning triangle, you need to install EDL drivers before you can continue to the next step.

Setting up Qfil

  • Open Qfil.
  • In "Select Build Type", select flat build.
  • In "Select programmer", select the downloaded firehose.
  • In Configuration, make sure the "Device Type" is set to UFS.

Flashing engineering ABL

Make sure you've made abl backups before

  • In Qfil, select Tools > Partition manager, and click Ok.
  • Right click on abl_a > Manage Partition Data and press Load Image.
  • Select and flash the engabl_ab.bin file.
  • Do the same thing for abl_b.

Reboot to fastboot mode

  • Force reboot your phone by holding volume down + power until you see the LG logo.
  • With the device turned off, hold the volume down button, then plug the cable in.
  • If the phone in device manager is called Android and has a ⚠️ yellow warning triangle, you need to install fastboot drivers before you can continue.

Boot to the mass storage mode image

If popups show up telling you to format the disks, ignore or close them
