[Q] LG Optimus G Stuck On LG Screen Need Help.

I was making a TWRP Backup when all of the sudden my phone just randomly turns off. I grabed my phone and it was really hot. Tried turning it on, but nothing happened. Then I connected it to the ac adapter and it turned on, but it would go to the LG logo, the screen turns black then it restarts. This does not stop unless I unplug it. I had previously made two backups before and nothing like this happened, but this time I enabled conpression<-------- This must have been what caused this. All I want to know is if this can be fixed or not. If it could be fixed I would be so happy if somone could tell me how to fix this. THANK YOU. P.S. THIS PHONE IS A BEAST. D

It does not let me go into recovery, the screen goes black then restarts. All I can do is go into fastboot and Download mode.

Likely bricked. Do you have flashing notification and capacitive lights? Have you LGNPST'd? If yes to both of those questions, you're in the same predicament as I was and hopefully you have insurance, because your phone is fried.

Sprint's policy on root is to document it but not do anything about it, so they would swap it. If you're worried, I can help you restore stock firmware.

Because your phone doesn't know if it needs to be in charging mode or booting. Pulling battery will fix it.

I had a similar problem as you. Upon getting the phone I rooted and used the FreeGee app from the Google Play store to unlock the bootloader. Everything seemed fine and dandy, until one day when I let my phone's battery drain completely. Pluggin it in to a wall charger resulted in the failed boot where the LG logo flashes before going to a blank, but backlit screen. Luckily, the first few times this happened, through a combination of quickly plugging and unplugging the usb cord and holding the volume up+power button, I could get it into recovery (TWRP). Then a simple cache & dalvik cache wipe, and the phone would boot up as if nothing ever happened. Very strange.
Well yesterday this happened again, however, this time there was no getting the phone into recovery. My previous methods of button mashing and plugging and unplugging weren't working. So, I decided to bite the bullet and use LGNPST to get back to ZV7. Now, like you mentioned, this failed boot would automatically happen, without pressing the power button to turn it on. So it was difficult to get the phone to stay off. I found that with the phone unplugged, if you continue to press the power button until the blank backlit screen turns off, AND continue to hold the power button for an additional five seconds, the phone would stay off and not auto power on into the failed boot.
Once I was able to get the phone to stay off, I pressed the middle of the volume key to depress both volume up and down, and then plugged a usb cord that was attached to my computer. This powered on the phone into download mode. Following the LGNPST guide I was able to get to around 67% complete before my phone turned off and an error message flashed on the computer screen telling me to power cycle the phone and reconnect. Well, the whole 67%/85% LGNPST failure is apparently common and not indicative of an actual failure; HOWEVER, my phone became completely unresponsive. It wouldn't power on at all. It didn't matter if the usb was unplugged or connected to the computer or wall charger. So, I was forced to unplug the battery. I followed this tutorial and successfully disconnected and reconnected the battery cord, and the phone shot back to life. It even booted up into the factory stock ZV7 rom. I guess that LGNPST was successful. It looked like I was on my way to returning my phone to breezy's deodexed ZV9 stock rom that I was previously running.
I went ahead and re-rooted, ran the FreeGee app again, and rebooted into recovery. Then I made a backup and attempted to flash my new rom. Now, I think this is where I royally screwed up. I was pleasantly surprised to see my screen layout and all of my settings still intact after LGNPST back to ZV7 and thought I could just wipe the caches and ignore the factory reset and system wipe before flashing. Perhaps it was this, but part of me also thinks there might be something wrong with my battery draining extremely fast in recovery.
I proceeded to flash and all seemed good, but rebooting resulted in the LG logo failed boot that we have already discussed. So, I went ahead and repeated the LGNPST-re-root process numerous times (switching to the freegee 0.5 batch file instead of the app). Everytime after the first initial restore, I could never get my phone to enter recovery. As soon as I rebooted after using freegee, the phone would be soft bricked again. Sometimes I would get the LG logo thing, other times I would get the dreaded alternating flashing red notification light and soft keys. A battery pull was usually required in these circumstances before I could get back into download mode to start all over.
I was about ready to give up when I took to the LGOG irc channel. That's when Xboxfanj stepped in and helped me out IMMENSELY. Over the course of several hours, he walked me through flashing some partitions in ADB. At times it seemed like there was no hope and that I should have just returned the phone, but he failed to acquiesce, we pushed forth trying a couple of other bootloader options. The new bootloader appeared to have fixed the phones erratic behavior with powering on and off, but I had no rom to boot into and no recovery. Xboxfanj recommended using fastboot to flash over a recovery. Once in the new bootloader screen my Windows XP machine detected new hardware and wanted some drivers. I attempted to use the [ADB/FB/APX Driver] Universal Naked Driver 0.72, but XP indicated that I was missing 'winusbcoinstaller2.dll'.
I grabbed winusbcoinstaller2.dll from here and all was good. Fastboot recognized the phone, I was able to flash recovery and subsequently boot into recovery. From there I reformatted the system, wiped data/factory restore, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, and flashed breezy's ZV9 deodexed rom.
Fortunately, after around 7 hours, I am happy to say my phone is back to being rooted, unlocked, and running ZV9. It powers on and off properly and can get into recovery without a hitch. I'm still curious what will happen if I let my battery drain completely. Perhaps I'll try it some time this week. I'll be sure to post back here if/when I do that. All in all, it was a harrowing, but educational experience.
Anyway, just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to Xboxfanj! You really are the man :good:. Thanks for your patience and determination.

Hold the power button down for about 10 secs, keep doing it until you don't see the lg screen pop up then you know its off, then enter download mode and flash stock again using the tools in the general section. I done something similar, I have been on stock for over a week and couldn't be happier, I'm not taking any more chances with this brilliant phone!!

Like mark dexter said. You need to hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds until it turns off. From what I've read it's soft bricked 4 or 5 phones already. The exact same thing happened to me. I am back on stock rom and not taking any more changes.

I guess you didnt look the warning on the korean kdz ? Welcome to the land of no more radio.
WARNING: If you don't have a Korean Phone and you flash
these images you might risk bricking your modem / radio meaning if
you flash back to your original stock you wont have working radio.
At least that is from the leaked rom, maybe the official one dont break your radio.
I Guess that reading a bit more was hard. This is some firmware that would have fixed your phone :

Simply turn off your phone by holding the power button for about 10-15sec.
After that, just turn it on again...it should boot normally.

Just put it into download mode then use KDZ updater, since you want to be back in custom rom, but before that, you should download your stock kdz rom. If you want to use a custom rom again, I suggest start from stock, root, unlock then flash. I have a F180K version, flashed E975D through kdz, then rooted it and unlocked through FreeGee. I use CWM for recovery. After that I have flashed 4 different custom roms to try which suits me. But now I got to stock then modded some in it. Hope this helps you.

anyone

[GUIDE] Bypass low battery warning on LG Mobile Tool

This might not work for you as it did not work for me but it is the only way I have been able to pass the low battery message so it might work for some. I get a connection problem after step 3
Step 1.
Download tool and LG drivers (if you don't have them) from here and here and install them normally
Step 2.
Remove battery and note down your device model and serial number. Boot phone in to download mode by switching phone off or pulling battery if soft bricked, then hold down both of the volume keys and plug in the USB data cable
Step 3.
Run LG Mobile Tool and wait for the software to tell you it recognises the handset as either being the latest software or a new update is available. Unplug the handset but keep it in download mode then in LG Mobile Tools click on options then update recovery. It will now prompt you to enter your handset details, fill out the top 2 boxes and click ok. You will soon be prompted by a message asking you to plug your handset in, plug it in then press retry. Wait EXACTLY 5 seconds (count 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi) then unplug the phone as quickly as possible! Very important, it might take a few tries to get it so just alter the speed at which you are saying Mississippi lol!. If you get the same error message about battery too low then you have failed and need to try it again. Once you have succeeded you can do either of the 2 things below:
3a. Plug phone back in immediately and wait for the file to download and flash (recommended) (I am currently trying this and will report back as soon as I can)
3b. If you are soft bricked and scared you have limited battery then don't plug it back in, pull your battery out and let the program run and it will do everything including download the required software for flashing. When the software is almost completely downloaded, boot back in to download mode and let the downloaded software flash to your phone. (might have an error at software installation this method. I couldn't get it to work I think due to the phone being disconnected for so long.)
Step 4.
MAKE SURE YOU DO A FACTORY RESET STRAIGHT AFTER THE SOFTWARE HAS INSTALLED
Step 5. (Optional)
Download the older version of FreeGee from here if you are still a bit unsure if the latest version will soft brick your handset again.
I have managed to use LG Flash Tools now, even after being affected. I would not advise trying this though, as it was an accident for me. I had the back cover off while flashing a custom rom with CWM. After the rom file was installed, I rebooted my phone from CWM. As the phone was rebooting (was on the rom boot animation) the battery fell out. After I put the battery back in the phone would load to the rom boot animation, but it would freeze on this screen and then reboot and do the same thing over and over (bootloop to animation) - I then tried to factory reset and flash the rom again, with the same thing happening again) - I then went in to restore my phone using a backup through CWM. After the restoration, then phone would still hang at boot animation and then bootloop. I retried restoring and flashing multiple roms and re root the phone with a saved zip file on my phone. None of this was working. I decided to try to use LG Flast Tools again, only this time it actually passed the low battery warning. The funny thing is, I have tried thousands of times even at 100% battery level and lower (when there was nothing wrong with my phone at all) and it has never worked. This time it did (even though I had 66% battery) and still works now, as I just tried it again.

I've tried this method but unfortunately, the update stoped..
i passed through step 3a but when installing the software, around 80%, the lg mobile support tool suddenly disappear.
i'm trying it again for the second time, i'll update after my attempt.
thanks.

I might give that a shot.
HONESTLY WHY! I am starting to get so frustrated that nobody can figure this out! Surely there is somebody out there that can someone reverse the damage that FreeGee caused by way of ADB commands? I just wish I knew what the hell I was looking for

OK guys.. After exhausting all known tricks but failure I just walked into LG service centre andgot stock ROM installed. It took just ten minute for them to install.
I just though given an opportunity, I will steal their laptop n take it home..hahhha..
Anyway as I of now I am jut **** scared to o anything with the phone. I just rooted it and playing around with DPI settings using closed framework.

What exactly did they do? Did you see any of the software? It's not that easy for me as this phone was never released in my country.

I could not see what they did. But I am damn sure he didn't do anything like using button combination to get into recovery or download mode etc. I saw him remove the battery n then reinstate then just plugged in the USB cable!

I got in such situation twice... bricked device and getting battery level error (3) even when i had my battery at 100%. Found out after several flash attempts that this problem was solved by flashing the oldest official kdz i could find (v10A). :silly:

I deal with this situation 3 time...last time little scary with only boot to cwm ( fix with flash twrp hack by madmack and install rom )...never get same sollution to by pass low bat warning...
I think we just have to uninstall and reinstall all LG driver..restart..and keep trying with 100% batt..
May be LG decide flash or not when we connect via Lg mobile tool via internet..
Because once i have succed flash with only 20 % battery...last time i get low batt warning with 60% batt...
Once you get low batt warning it keep rejecting flash even with 100% battery..
Lol never give up trying is best sollution

maybe yes ... maybe not ... since my last flash failed 10a and succeeded with 10e firmware...
Maybe different way to flash...
still a mystery

sorry for my noob question.
you just walked into LG service centre? they didn't question you about how your phone got into that situation?
i'm afraid that lg might ignore my phone because i rooted and attempt to disable the scurity through freegee..

They have asked me. I just said I was trying to do factory reset n it got struck. But I am not sure if he completely beloved me. It all boils down to how friendly that guy in the counter is. After all ,for them, its just a 10 main job. No parts or labour involved. Just pushing some files.
So just go ahead n try. My phone is also rooted n flashed freegee. But I got the service.

Hi guys,
I'm facing the same problem here but with a G Pad. Can't pget past the low battery error.
I figured a way to make the mobile tool download the files but when it comes to flashing it I get the same error again.
How did you flash the file after downloading it?
Any help will be really appreciated.

Bam ... i got it! :laugh:
For all with the low battery error, here is my solution (on Win8 machine):
1. Flashed E988 V5 rom with cwm
I think its editional, because i got low battery error error after i tried to flashed stock rom.
2. Flashed stock at&t rom V10g
3. Flashed E980H Panama ROM V10a
And it works, i dont get low battery error, even with ~65% battery... Maybe a try for all with same problem? :fingers-crossed:

Completely stock G4 fails to turn on and bootloops

Hi hope you can help, I'm trying to fix my sisters phone that has developed a software fault. The phone is completely stock, never rooted and I believe its on lollipop but cant switch on to be sure. Her fault happened when on snap chat to a friend and the phone just cut off and kept boot looping to the lg logo.
I have tried booting it into android recovery by holding the power and volume down button together, the re applying this when the logo appears, instead it just shows the battery charging.
Tried opening it through sdk manager in a cmd command of "adb reboot recovery" and still nothing.
When plugged into my pc it tried to install the drivers but stops after 2 mines and reboots.
Is their any way around this issue or to at least boot into recovery? its the LG G4 H815 model.
Thanks

Didn't it just bootloop? XD it's typical issue for 2015 G4s???

Search for boot loop over here there are multiple threads!
If your serial (sticker behind the battery ) starts with 5xx you have the hardware issue hundreds other have. Repairing is the only option to fix.

Thanks for that here is a picture of the sticker under the battery. I think it does is this one of the hardware effected ones?
see attachments for photo
Thanks

Yes you have a 505 and so it seems you have the infamous bootloop.
As long as you have warranty send it to LG for repairing
There are guides here how to backup with the freezer method of you want to.

Thanks you have been a great help, its my sisters phone so the freeze backup would be perfect as she has photos on their she wants to backup. Have you got a link to the best guide to follow? Also final question. If it is under warranty for them to fix she has smashed the phone screen and has been cracked for almost a year (don't ask why she is living with a cracked screen because even I don't know haha). It still displays and responds to touch (prior to bootloop failure) and the intention was to get her phone up and running then replace her screen for her. Even if the damaged screen has nothing to do with the cause of the bootloop screen will LG dismiss this and refuse repair because of a faulty screen? In which case am I best replacing the screen first then shipping the phone off to LG repair that way they cant dismiss the screen as a cause.
Thanks

Cab you just boot into the recovery and clean the cache partition and see if it reboots successfully.

Thanks for the suggestion but sadly tried that with no look. her battery isn't great either doesn't hold much of a charge. Phone is in a mess really and trying to fix it for her rather than a shop or company charging her an arm and a leg. It just goes to the LG logo then the battery logo then nothing.

This can not be solved with deleting cache.
Google is your friend!! Here is the"link". :

Besides that check my signature... the first line. Really.. :silly:
Well to be honest if you can I would replace the screen first just to be sure that this will make no trouble when sending it to LG. Jm5c
