Died during firmware update - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My LG G3 died during the night when a firmware update started and the battery was low.
Now the phone isn't booting. It gets stuck at the LG logo.
I can put the phone into download mode but not much else. It it's recognized by any PC I've plugged it into.
The main issue here is that I need to recover some very important data that hasn't been backed up (ye I know stupid). I've searched and searched but all I get are some iffy maybes mostly regarding some Samsung phones so.

You can try a using a linux os on pc sometime it can still pick up ure drives

Thanks I'll try.
Unfortunately I don't use Linux or know anyone that does outside of work so it will take a while.
In the meantime if anyone else has suggestions I'm all ears!

Now r u rooted with twrp

The phone is 100% stock

Just flash stock kdz in a normal mode not cse flash but you have to select exact firmware you had ....so you dont loose any data...hope it helps

How would I even know what exact firmware I had?
The phone actually booted up when started into download mode and gave the 'firmware update' screen but just stuck at 0%

Ok...try to flash what firmaware version you had before software update....i think ota not installed properly...if it doesn't work try to flash latest firmware for your phone...means which version coming as ota for your phone....also remember for the first time it's should be take some time to start.if both not working you have to do a cse flash ?...but if you sacrifice your data....factory reset is a simple option....you don't have flash anything just search in forum how to hard reset and your problem solve,think so ?

Phone won't start after CSE flashing a KDZ. Won't go nowhere other than Download Mode

Phone is LG G Pro F240L. I had the latest update (Lollipop) installed and let's just say I wasn't satisfied with it.
I flashed Kitkat KDZ like normally but it got stuck on bootloop, then I CSE flashed using the Kitkat KDZ and now it won't do anything other than go to download mode.
I would really appreciate any help to get my phone back to normal and fast. Thanks!
EDIT: I should also add that I've tried the PC suite recovery method but it says my phone's battery is too low when it's not.
UPDATE: I think I've hard bricked my phone. Damn...

Reflash the kdz again.before that check whether you are flashing the correct firmware of the correct model.
Now flash your kdz through lg offline flash tool.you can get that by searching in this xda forums.so even if your battery is below 60% it continues to the next step.But it is recommended to have minimum 60% of battery level.after opening lg offline flash tool you choose the kdz,then after choose cse flash.thats it.because it worked for me.or if your phone goes intlo reccovery mode,simply you can factory reset the data,perform 3 wipes(factory reset,cache and dalvik cache) and reboot.It may work sometimes.update me after u did these steps.if worked hit thanks. (i want to help you.thats why,i said what i know.)

I've Tried, tried through LGUP and it showed me unknown model so I couldn't do it with LGUP. Also tried with lg flash tool and had a disconnection with server and couldn't flash...
When I try to flash the 6.0 kdz it has the same message but after a while I press Retry and it flashes the 6.0 kdz.. after flashing the phone will turn on and work for a few minutes (not 100% ok) and then shut down again, with the ability to turn back on after removing and replacing the battery (and the all shut down process continues).

Thanks for everything, for now it works. I flashed all over again the marshmallow version and this time it didn't even turned off yet.
so after a day of using the phone is shutting down again and won't boot into recovery (since I have stock recovery) and won't boot into the android system - can only get into download mode. what should I do?
Maybe you have a battery problem, try another battery.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn LG-D855 met Tapatalk
that's what I've been through: kernel crash due to connecting the battery when the phone was connected to pc with usb cable. than after many times I tried flashing through download mode with lg flashtool it worked for almost half a day and then suddenly it crashed again (when I tried to install spotify on my phone). all through the process when I tried to flash a stock rom with LGUP it wasn't possible because of unknown model error. right now I re-flashed the marshmallow version (because for some reason that's the only stock rom which I can flash and it would work from time to time), and it crashes all the time after a few seconds of using it and getting back to boot loop. Mods I can enter: Only download mode (no recovery and crashes when try to turn it on)... Any ideas what my next move should be?

LG G3 stopped working after installing recovery

Today I was trying to install a custom rom, but I messed it up and had to reset it to stock rom.
After that I reseted it back to stock rom, I rooted my phone with Kingroot and used this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd855 to install recovery. After that I powered off my phone and now it won't turn on. Already removed battery a plenty of times, when putting in the charger nothing happens, pc won't see it also.
The only moment when my phone lights up is when I remove my battery and put it in the charger, then it basically says that it's charging but with no battery in it. Also when removing the battery and connecting to my pc it only sees it as a unrecognizable device.
Suggestions on what I can do? IF not, poor me, gonna buy a new smartphone then.
Btw, I still have some garanty. Maybe it's worth sending it to the support services.

You used wrong autorec install LP recovery to MM. Download MM version autorec from LG G3 Xda forum. Try flash back to stock or something else. Instructions are in LG G3 Xda forum if you search more. Sorry.

Hmm, I was really sure that I used the right one.
Anyway, how can I flash it again if I can't even get the lg logo to show, neither get him in download mode or that my pc recognises him?
Btw, I still have some garanty. Maybe it's worth sending it to lg.
If you have no access to any recovery mode, Fastboot or download mode.then use the method of Qualcomm 9008.btw your warranty is void because you have rooted device and messed with it.

I also had same issue and I'm also sure that I used the correct Autorec version.
I sent the phone to LG because the warranty is still valid.

i remember after 1 day of having this phone this happened this was likely caused by having the latest boot loader i remember this because i fresh installed the marshmallow kdz after that i installed autorec mm it told me to restart and my phone died there, however after spending 8 hours straight i found a solution the smart boot diagnostics tool can write an older version of the boot loader understand that your phone must be in the qdloader9008 mode, if your PC doesn't detect the phone make sure you install the drivers in the zip from the download install the 32 bit if on 32 bit system or install 64 bit on 64 bit system. Hey if you need assistance on doing this Download team viewer and i'll be more than welcome to help unbrick our d855

Personally i don't really like flashify or any other similar apps.But as you are a beginner at all these follow this simple steps.
Can you boot your phone?
Try using the official App provided by TWRP
Go to Google Play Store and search Official TWRP app,download
Go to the application and select "TWRP Flash" option,after that select your device model and then select the latest TWRP version(3.0.2.0 or 3.0.3.0).
After all these click the bottom Download TWRP.
That's all.

I see that you have messed a lot with your system partitions.
I'll try to find something helpful.
Till then try checking if you can use system upgrade.(To go for example to lollipop while it may save your phone and also be able to flash the correct laf.img)
Question:After you finished the procedure on flashing the laf.img(for d851)(also you can flash the 10d laf.img as the OP said in the guide)did you pull the battery out and Boot to download mode(manually)?
How to get to Download Mode
yes i did try to boot into dl mode manually..

You also did pull the battery after flashing laf.img(10d) for D851 Model?
So... I think that after you tried doing all these and nothing worked, you'll be unable to get Download mode back,but let me check some of the system partitions and check if you can manually insert the laf.img file.
Somehow you can insert the laf file to your phone but it needs extracting (the laf.img) to get the proper file.
I found the location of the laf file.
But if anyone can be found with D851 can send the laf file here for you.
Two other solutions are:
1.Staying without dl mode? Maybe.
2.Buying a new motherboard.
