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.
That screen happen when system is overloaded and not responding...
Give us feedback :good:

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

Some links are really not working or as for me, it's forbidden(don't know what it means). Try all links to which works, then flash a KDZ. It will work. :good:

so I have a rooted Nitro, and I just installed CM9 RC2 (previously running RC1)
When I boot up, it gets stuck on the animation, which I know happens a lot
however, I can't get back into recovery to wipe and reflash
when I start my phone while holding Volume Down, it goes to the factory hard reset screen like it should, I press Power twice, but instead of booting into recovery, it restarts and tries to boot CM9
I don't really know what to do since I can't get into recovery
Is your battery low, by any chance? If it is, see if you can get it to boot into the charging mode by plugging in power while it's off.

the battery was at around 90% when I flashed RC2 so it's probably still pretty high

I'm not 100 percent positive it's the ONLY way, but it's definitely A way. And I feel your pain, it took 8 hours of trial and error to unbrick mine. (long, ****y story) you may be able to just flash the Korean kdz, root, install Rom manager to get cwm, and flash from there, skipping moving all the img files and adb stuff, that's what I did. If you do it that way flash honos ics leak first to get your baseband and stuff right though

Same here, try to restore LG ROM now, hope good luck!
looks like your gonna be the 1st to try the new unbricking guide!! :good: let's us know how it goes................................
unbricked on korean firmware
I forgot to rename the .kdz
EDIT- rooted on fourth try
Restore LG ROM Done! After restored, do wipe, now, go back to LG ROM.
just updating my thread
I have RC2 running on it now with no problems
general use feels a lot faster than RC1 so I'm pretty happy with it
quadrant score is also now slightly above the Atrix 4G, which makes me feel a bit better about upgrading from that (it broke)
however, when I'm going to the homescreen or leaving the homescreen, my homescreen with a black background pops up for a fraction of a second before doing whatever (don't know how to better describe it)
it's obviously just a bug and it doesn't really bother me, but I thought I would point it out
nice works, always good to see peeps get it done.
hey, could you link from here to the successful de-bricking guide that worked for you?

a few notes:
I don't think you need any of the image files if you're just flashing CM9 or HO!NO! or something
when you download the .kdz file, you have to rename it to V10F_00.kdz or else it will not work because the name is too long (seriously, I spent hours on this)
when you flash the .kdz file, if it stops at 4%, and within 60 seconds it says something about a connection failure, it didn't work. if it stops at 4% but doesn't say anything, keep waiting and watch your phone's screen
the good ole machzelot debrick always works for me too!
one more question, might as well ask it in here
how do I get my 64gb microSD card working in CM9?
I know the card works and the phone can read it because it works fine when mounted in recovery, but when I put it in my phone, it just says it's damaged, and when I try to format it, it says it's being checked then says it's damaged again

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 :

Hi everbody!
After unlocking my LGOG (E975) a weird issued appeard: When phone is in standby and I try to boot it up as always (before unlocking) by Long pressing standby-button for a few moments, the LG logo comes up, and then only a black blank Screen (after 10 minutes or so this repeats) If I immedeately after disappearing LG-logo I press the standby-button again, the well known animated logo appears and everything is OK.
On the other Hand: when I connect a completely battery-empty LGOG ONLY the black Screen appears, after some reboots with hold standby-button the White battery loading Symbol appears...
Has it something to do with Fast-Boot (how to change any options?) or with unlocking via FreeGee. So far I was unable to find any similar issues like this... It bothers me always to press standby-button twice to boot up. If I missed the correct Timing I have to hold standby to turn off the phone correctly. Please help me!! Thank you guys!!

OK, so getting back to business i can see this is a problem when charging the phone. If i shutdown, then charge then in the morning unplug > phone shuts down again (from charging mode) and i power it up it doesn't boot the ROM.
I tested this situation and i saw that sometimes it doesn't even enter charging mode after a shutdown. I will test later and comeback. Maybe others can relate and give ideas.

No idea mate. I assume you would have to find a full stock rom and just flash that via normal update methods. I don't plan on ever going back to the crap that LG call stock.

Happened again just now.
The problem is when it is at this strange black screen it is not charging!
Just i put my phone to charge left there 1 hours. Just wanted to turn on but didn't. Pluged of the charger and phone is not booting because battery seems to empty. Just i put it back to charge and restarted it 10 times nearly. Now the phone turned on and started to recharging from 0!
I feel like phone going and coming back to life. Some day will not turn on.
Ya.. . Lg phones has this weird behaviour.... Even with charger plugged and empty battery you can't switch on your mobile... I think it always take power from battery even with charger connected....

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.

- It's so frustrating that it gets so close, I am going to try 3a now and see how I go. There must be a way
3a also didn't work for me oh well, back to the drawing board

Unplugging and connecting when asks for retry helps in bypassing the battery error.still.its just a visual gimmick.

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 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 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:

how can i flash v5 with cwm? how can i boot to cwm?
So my mom had an LG G3 D850 from at&t. was totally fine, then she updated whatever she had to 6.0 and it started bootlooping. Tried the LG Flash tool with a tot stock firmware. Went through the whole process got the blue screen with the red 3, it restarted, kept bootlooping. Tried it again but then it got stuck on 5% for like 4 hours, unplugged it and now no matter what i do i cant get into download mode. It shows the LG screen then goes straight to firmware update (even if i dont hold vol up) and it says 910K Bxx QEM (the xx changes) I was able to get into recovery mode, recovered it. same thing. Im losing my mind a little bit here so any advice, or pointing me to a tutorial would be greatly appreciated. Ive looked all over the internet and cant find anything helpful apparently the qualcomm thing where you short the motherboard doesnt work for this phone either?
*flips desk*
If it is under warranty .send your phone to at&t to get it fixed.

Qualcmomm method you are describing is just to bring your phone into download mode. I have done this to my brother's g3. You have to flash using LG flashtool using different settings and then hard reset your phone. If it doesn't solve your problem.try to replace battery and then use custom rom.
tried that

no matter what settings i set LG flash tool to it doesnt recognize the phone. and no matter what i do the phone jumps to the firmware update screen, it skips the download mode screen. I have two batteries and ive repeatedly switched them back and forth :/ even after reseting the phone with factory reset it goes back go the firmware update screen

totally forgot to switch to com41, did everything exactly like that. got to the red 3, restarted it, and it still bootloops. i guess ill try a custom rom cause this stock one isnt working.
apparently cant do custom roms either, I got it to boot the the set up screen for 5seconds befores it crashed so i guess im throwing it away cause im sick of looking at it.

Try LG PC Suite go to option update error recovery it will download the stock rom flash it dont worry it will take some time so be patient also what happened is when ur g3 wasnt fully updated meaning it got stuck or turned off when updating
.hit like if its helps
