[Q] My G3 is Softbricked - $20 to the first person that can help me fix it! - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm going crazy here and I need my phone to work!
I have an LG G3 on Verizon.
I rooted it and edited a part of build.prop to change the DPI which got the phone stuck in a boot loop and kept popping up "the process com.android.systemui has stopped.
I tried clearing cache
I tried booting in safe mode
I then did a factory reset
My phone boots up to the Setup Wizard screen but I am STILL getting that systemui error and a com.android.phone and I can't get any further than that screen.
I then tried to use the LG FlashTool to just wipe the entire ROM and replace it with the stock one from Verizon.
This gave me a "Model Information Check FAIL!" error but I DO have the right ROM for my phone. There's only one for the Verizon G3 as far as I can tell
This led me to realizing that there is something in the build.prop that's making LGFlashTool think the proper rom actually isn't right.
I then installed the Android SDK so I can ADB into my phone. but whenever I run "abd devices" nothing shows up in the list.
I was told USB Debugging needs to be turned on in order for this to work, I don't remember if it's turned on or not with my phone and I can't get past the Setup Wizard to edit anything. I wonder if ADB is even running properly on my phone or if these errors are stopping it?
I will gladly paypal someone $20 if they can get this working for me.

Did you tried this?

yes I did, that's where I got the "Model Information Check FAIL!" error

And what about this guide (if you can enter download mode):

8) When the firmware is downloaded, boot your LG G3 into Download Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Up key and then plug the USB cable.

One of my friends saved his phone by this guide

Download mode - LG PC Suite - Restore update error.
1. Remove battery
2. Boot phone into download mode
3. Open LG PC Suite - restore update error
This method have saved me a few times.

Will adb work in one of the recovery modes even if it wasn't enabled in the full boot mode? If so, start there.

Regarding your USB debugging question, you would have had to turn it on in order to root the phone originally, right? If so I imagine it would still be on unless you unchecked it. You have the proper drivers set up? Anytime I've encountered issues with adb devices not returning any results the issue has been drivers.
Good luck.

I believe I have the proper drivers, I installed drivers and the phone is showing up in device manager as Alright.

Try hooking it up to the lg support tool and select uprade recovery.
Download and install support tool
Open tool
Plug in phone with phone on.
Top right select options/upgrade recovery
Let it do its thing.

When you looked for phone in device manager did you change the port to com41? I forgot to do that and got the error in LG Flash Tool

Bro your motherboard is done with take it to service center

Hey everyone...it ended up being a stupid fix, I just tried flashing it on another computer and I didn't get the error? I have no idea why it worked.

Help - Stuck on Download Mode

I rooted and flashed Sphinx. The ROM somehow kept me from hearing the other person on the other line when making calls and they couldn't hear me. So I was trying to unroot by using the Flashroot tool method. And now I'm stuck on download mode.
I have a d855. How do I unroot properly and how do I get out of the download mode.
This is my first time rooting an LG phone :/

I don't have the links to the tread where I got these from but lets just hope I don't get banned.
1) go to download mode
2) install this and download the correct .kdz file for your phone
-Modelnumber is ...
-serial number is your imei number
- wait until the download is done
3) run the lgflashtool2014.exe from this zip
-Select type= cdma
-phone mode= Diag
-reset time=33000
-Should be like this when You run it
-select kdz file= is where you need to find the kdz file you just downloaded(step 1)
-then press cse flash
-in the now pop-up window select start
-select your language
-ignore error (cannot connect to lg server)
-check progress on phone up to 100% then boots in recovery installs and restarts
-wait untill it goes to the welcom screen then you can unplug
-now the most inportant step Like my post
to enter download mode do this:
--You must switch off the device to start the process.
--Then press and hold the “Volume Up” and connect the USB cable from phone to PC.
--Use the original USB cable. Because, other device’s cable may not be detected in the Computer. So, only we recommend it to use the original-- one that you got it when you bought the phone.
--Wait for the driver installation on PC.
--Then you will get the download mode screen in your phone.
--That’s it.
I have the opposite problem, can't get into download mode haha

I can't find the .kdz file. I have the D85010d.
Also, i ran the original lg firmware, I also get an error saying it was unsuccessful or i may have keyed in something incorrect.
When I run perform the TOT method, I get the "device model is different".
So, d85010d was stock and I flashed sphinx d855... where they incompatible? im assuming no because the phone ran fine aside from the issue i stated on the original post.
would like more help.

I was in your position. Once you enter the download mode it is *almost* impossible to get out without removing the battery. I've heard a lot of suggestions like pressing the power button for 10 or 20 seconds or even doing that in combination with other keys, BUT the ultimate truth is that you have to press and keep holding power button for at least 1 minute. I didn't time exact seconds, but it was ridiculously long time. Probably it will take you less time removing the back and re-sit the battery, but personally I hate removing the back without serious reason
About the second question - I was unable to flash anything in LG's download mode. I'm using Ubuntu + virtualbox (Windows 7 inside), but due to issues with drivers and/or virtualbox and/or usb port forwarding I was unable to reliably connect and flash the stock kdz image. Fortunately I've sent the phone back to the LG repair office and they re-flashed the firmware for me.

It is not exactly what you want, BUT at least you can get your latest, official KDZ file from LG.
Open in browser the following URL, but replace the xxxxxxxxx
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=xxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxxx is your IMEI number
As a result you'll get an XML file that will contain the location of your latest KDZ update, which should look something like this:

If you can't get in that, then something very serious happened!
you sure you can't enter it?
Otherwise, it would mean you messed up the bootloader!

i am also having lg g3 F4ooL
installed cloudy g3
soft bricked
boot looping
when i enter into download mode
flashtool says an error that
*cant change to Download mode*
Download fail
what can i do?
Hi guys, i know it's an old post but i get the same issue.
I was following this tutorial https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1058206-lg-g3-lineageos-tutorial/
I was on lollipop.
I initially downgraded to kitkat (V10e) using LG UP and then rooted with purple drake.
In the following reboots, "kernel error" occurred.
So I tried to flash the kitkat stock version again but without success.
I'm stuck in download mode and tried to flash both the kitkat version, the lollipop and the marshmallow, through .tot and .kdz, I tried both with LG UP, LG Flash tools v 1.8 and with LG flash Tools 2014 but in all cases unsuccessful because the phone reboots before it ends.
Now I don't know what to try anymore. Do you have any solution, please?
Thanks in advance.

[q] lg g3 d855 hard bricked no download mode or recovery!

Hi all, I come to you as my last resort.
I have spent hours on google trying to find a solution to my problem.
This is what happened.
I store my ROMS on an external SD and sometimes i get the error that it is being removed unexpectedly...sometimes..anyway.
I booted into my TWRP and went to flash DarkKnights ROM..this ROM was something like 1.7 GB i think and after completely wiping the device (System, data and cache) i proceeded to flash the new rom..However it flashed very very quickly which i found strange but proceeded to restarting my device.
After that my phone has been completely dead!
What i think happened is that the EXTERNAL SD malfunctioned during the installation and im left with absolutely nothing on my phone.
I cannot enter recovery or download mode!
The only sign of life is when i plug it into my computer and it installs a driver that is the androidnet driver not the qualcom driver that some people have had and fixed.
I am open to any suggestions as you truly are my last resort.
Haven't really got much to say in the way of helping you mate, sounds like you're in a real Pickle :/

Thank you very much for the thread you posted..i tried it but the thing is..my phone has literally nothing on it so when i put each file manually into the phone i dont know which sdb to put it through to..as the thread says it should give a lost of all the system partition files but since my one doesnt have anything on the phone it does not find them...
However, i did manage to establish a connection between the phone and the terminal in linux so im thinking maybe i have to flash each file manually that i can get from a system dump of a g3 and maybe thay will work..what do you think??

Bootloop, download mode and TWRP not working

I flashed Fulmic rom for my G3 D855 today. Everything was well when I discovered until I discovered, that camera app is not showing. The fix was to download the fix from Fulmics app and flash it via TWRP. I downloaded the fix and rebooted to install the fix. After reboot I got stuck in bootloop, when I try to access recovery, it goes to TWRP first logo and stays there. Nothing happens. When I try to access download mode, it shows the first download mode logo and stays there. Computer detects the phone in device manager as "LGE Android MTP Device". LGUP shows model as "Unknown". Cant do nothing more. Every help is appreciated.
Are you sure you flashed the fix ? Because it seems like you flashed something else that messed up your device

I downloaded the fix, then tried to install it via twrp. But twrp didn't start. So I ran AutoRec again to reinstall TWRP which seemed to go well. Forgot to mention this on first post. After reinstalling TWRP the problems occurred.

Can't enter twrp, just shows TEAMWIN logo with blue background and stripes. Nothing more happens.
Download mode text shows up, pc makes connection sound but I dont know what to do after that. I tried using LGUP but that showed that model is "Unknown".
Ah, try lg flash tool 2014 or lg flashtool (and a tot file), find a thread by hyelton (lg g3 get back to stock), this will help you

I have tried this method also. Every time at 4% it says, error, remove battery and then reconnect and turn on phone. After that, connection with pc is lost.
Also, when I try to get to Download Mode, it should go then to Firmware update screen to? Am I right about that? If so, then it doesn't go to Firmware update screen.
But I tried it with a kdz I had in my computer and had used before. Downloading .tot file atm.

I didn't had the same issue as you, but had a similiar one (phone didn't get discovered neither by LGUP nor LG Flash Tool). Yesterday I fixed it by following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
In particular the part where you change your device to COM41 in the device manager.
After you get it discovered by LG Flash Tool flash an official KDZ.
Reboot the phone and connect it to your Windows, allow the connection from the phone screen.
It should promt you to install drivers on the computer, do that (they are different from LG Drivers you download from the web mind you)
Now you can change your COM port back to 3 and everything should be fully discoverable by both LGUP and LG Flash Tool.
I think I replied to you on reddit (same photo) Have you tried plugging the phone in while in download mode ? Did you try installing drivers from the internet ? Coz thats how I fixed the same problem you have.

Exactly, here I am running around in circles over this BOOST Stylo 2, just got it with MM 6.0.1 out of the box 2 days ago. I caught the 454.4mb update it has been trying to do! Got that baby downloaded! 1.02gb unzipped and renamed to kdz. Got a script for Terminal that will replace Kingroot's temp root with SuperSU but I am not going to attempt any further until I know LGUP will recognize and flash my .zip the bas****s deem not worth enough to put up for download on LG's site!
I got LGUP to recognize it in download mode, reads out LGLS775 but still says it cannot open it...............
His info on how he got it to work would prolly have solved this dillema..............
oh well
zach
ok had a LG G3 that's done this- as long as you can get download mode it should recover, YOU need to use the LG mobile support tool from LG website ( LG UP sees phone as unknown model ) run LG mobile Support tool and in option choose UPGRADE RECOVERY . follow instructions and allow to start process, it took 57 minutes to repair my phone - it will seem frozen anywhere from 0% to about 22% JUST WAIT IT OUT!! lg up / twrp flashes in 5 to 10 mins -- the LG m.s.t writes block by block and takes 1 hour +
so hints and info took 3 goes to find and start upgrade recovery - error on a couple of attempts. phone seems frozen around 10% and 15% of firmware upload -- go make a coffee drink it, go pee then come back and worry! A watched pot never boils!....

It didn't. It's EVEN MORE broken :'(
I figured out how to get my PC to recognize my D851. Apparently all the LG software didn't like how many COM ports I have. As soon as I unplugged everything else from my PC, the software worked. In this case, it was LG Flash Tool 2014, but I couldn't get any of them to work before.
Try running LGUP as Admin!!! For me it worked!

Hope someone can help me. I flashed a rom for a d855, d855g30 I think, and although I can access download mode all aps for flashing fail saying it's the wrong model number. Even the generic DLL file cant trick it. It still starts booting the rom but boot loops before entering. I no longer have twrp and when I try to do safe mode or factory reset I get a boot validation error or something similar. Just seem to be stuck. Im using a VS985.
One cause of LGUP "UNKNOWN"
While an old thread, it'll be found in searches. For anybody who gets "UNKNOWN" device with LGUP for the LG G3, I found that LGUP for the G3 is often distributed with the wrong DLL file. See the details here, post #11. After installing LGUP, make sure that the "model" subdirectory in the LGUP program directory is the same number as the processor in your phone, in my case c:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8974 (was 8994 with the "LGUP for G3" I downloaded).

Help! LGUP Unkown MODEL LG G4

Hey all, I think I broke my G4 h811 , but not at all because I can access to download mode, the problem is that when I try to open LGUP or LG flash tools, my LG appears as UNKNOW MODEL, and because of that I can´t install the kdz file, I tried to re install all the drives and so on, I am working in a win 10 laptop. Someone that can help me. Thanks!!! I will be waiting for a answer.
Enable usb debugging mod in settings>developer options. And also make sure that you have all the lg drivers installed and working. I am sure you will be fine.

Try using LGBridge and clicking the update error recovery.
You are coming from an international rom right?
change port number. or task manager adb kill

So using the hardware buttons, and clicking yes through the factory reset confirmation does not boot you into recovery mode? Did you format your internal memory?

using hardware buttons and clicking yes the phone just restarted and that´s it. I didn´t format my internal memory. I was trying to fix my phone by using kdz files but the problem is that the programs as lg flash tool and LGUP don´t recognize the model of my lg g4.

What firmware were you on? What message did LGBridge say when you tried error update recovery?
I have the same problem with my H815 and Windows 10. All drivers are set up correctly. In device manager, I can see the device and ADB Device, but LGUP won't recognize my G4. Obviously, LGUP is buggy...
Is there any better tooling to upgrade to a more recent ROM? Otherwise, I really would have to change to CM13 - upgrading is very easy and not any nasty USB stuff what in the end may not work at all...

Download this driver. This will help you.
I am new to this forum so I can not link, but you have to look for LG driver version 3.14.1
