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

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.

What do you mean recovery modes? You mean like Safe mode? I actually haven't tried that. I'll give it a go.

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

The only way I can boot up this phone now is to use QPST but I have no instructions nor files(.hex, .qcn, or .mbn) to boot up this phone. I need these files to retrieve my imei and my modem so I CAN BOOT THIS DAMN PHONE

If I replace it, I'm going to be afraid that they can access through my stuff because the last thing before the phone turn off was backing up my stuff on nandroid and that passcode can be bypassed :x

Lg makes it damn hard to completely brick a phone. I've seen so many people resurrect their phones from some of the dumbest sh!t you could do. There's a way just have to find it. If the phone's recognized by adb then someone could dump the boot, recovery, downloadmode partions and you could flash them back. You can try all the unbricking guides. There is a way to fix these 99% of the time I promise, just don't give up.

He tried that tool already. Well it was a modified version of uptest that doesn't require all of the extra steps. I was doing some reading and it looks like most lg phones are capable of adb turned off in charging mode so that's a fantastic idea you have about adb. I have the full kdz dump I can upload the second I get home.

If you already installed the drivers before you don't need to install them from the support tool.

[Q] Missing bootloader

Hello all, I've made a bit of a balls up and appear to have deleted the bootloader on my G3 (D855) when I tried to install TWRP. Every time I start the phone or try to get in to the bootloader I end up on the TWRP screen. I have ADB access but I have no idea where to start to recover from this. I think I may installed twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img instead over the bootloader. Is that even possible?
Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter

I do the Same things first time i flash twrp.
Reflash à kdz with flashtool save me.
Tapatalked

Actually, its not what I thought. I've managed to get in to the original bootloader. So the question is why is it taking me to TWRP screen all the time?

I've been trying the the last 2 days to sort this out but have come against a stone wall. I've tried on 3 PCs and I cannot get the phone connected via USB (other than with ADB or MTP). To clarify my situation (as my initial post is probably incorrect)....I have manged to "replaced" the Android OS with a TWRP. Every time I start the phone I end up on the TWRP screen. I can boot in to the stock recovery. I have the correct KDZ file and Flash Tool but can't connect to the phone to re-flash.
Please, any help will be greatly appreciated.

What does it say on the PC when you plug it in?
Is it picked up in Device Manager?
Can you get in download mode?

Yep, its picked up as "G3" but with no drivers. I've downloaded and installed the LG unified drivers without any luck. From other pots I think I should be seeing it as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port"?

Download mode? Not sure what you mean.

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

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 please. Phone is not switching on but is showing blue led light

Hello. I was recently trying to install a custom rom on my Lenovo vibe p1. First I tried to root the device and did is successfully. Then I tried to flash the custom Rom but couldn't do even after several attempts. Then I tried to install my ota update to 6.0 but every time my phone restarted it have an error saying I need to access through fastboot. but then I decided to unroot the device and I also did that successfully. But then an issue happened as my phone turned black. It's not powering on only Blue led light is showing continuously. I've tried pressing the volume keys and power button simultaneously but the phone is not switching on. Then I tried to use qfil tool and whenever I try to connect my phone to the computer it is showing multiple disks (f, g, h, k, j) and it is asking to format it. I'm not able to find my phone in the device manager but all these disks are showing.
Please suggest what can I do. I'll be grateful to you. Thank u

Root your rom then connect your phone to pc via usb, then select phone to diagnostic mode. Then open qfil on pc select tool and qcn backup, select your file then restore it.

Hi bro, I haven't heard from you. So the latest news is that I rooted my phone, then flashed the qcn file but still I'm not able to get the network. I've gotten my old imei back but the SN number is different.
Can you please suggest how can I get the network back and the SN number too. Please note I'm using an Airtel 4g sim
