[Q] Volume buttons not working anymore? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I have an AT&T LG G3 D850 and the volume buttons have mysteriously stopped working. It's on version 10d.
I originally rooted it with Stump and only have ran xposed. I've reset all the settings in tweakbox thinking that things I've been tinkering with could have caused it but to no avail. I reverted back to 100% stock using the flash tool and still didn't work, although I know the volume button still must be working because I was able to hold the up button and plug the usb in to put it in download mode.
Since then I have rerooted with stump and reinstalled tweakbox to try to turn all the settings on and off but still nothing.
Any ideas?

Just confirmed that this is what I did with no fix. I suppose I'll be sending this off for warranty replacement.

[Q] Optimus G Pro Bricked -- All listed options failed

Have an ATT Optimus G Pro and I am stuck on bootloop at the LG symbol. I have attempted all listed options as I have been reading and searching for 4 hours now. Please help me with this. One issue I think may be the issue is I only have access to a windows 8 machine. I am running a rooted stock rom with CWM installed. Haven't even deleted any bloat yet. Can anyone give me a new idea?

That would be awesome if I could make it into recovery. I can get download mode, but thats the best I can get. I can get to hard reset, but that just puts it in a different loop. Samsung is so much easier.

Update: I was able to get to hard reset (holding down volume and power keys at same time). This took me to cwm recovery and then I reflashed beanstalk rom that I was on (fortunately, it was still on my phone) and then reflashed gapps.

have you tried to enter to download mode??
With the phone powered off, hold volume UP and keep holding while you connect usb . Then it will boot to download mode
now open PC suite and press on Phone menu, select Recover from upgrade errors.
It should download and restore your phone.
If it doesn't work then you need to manually download your firmware from this site (you need to put your imei after "esn=" before Going into the webpage), it is an official LG site for info about your personal phone there you will find an url with the KDZ file specific for your phone .

[Q] help, phone won't turn on after flashing 20b

Hi, I tried to flash 20b through twrp tonight.
I did factory reset, then flashed the bootstack, then flashed the system. But after that, my phone won't power on. I tried to remove the battery, holding power button for a long time, or power+volumn down.
The phone just does not respond at all. Can anybody help? Thanks!

take the battery out and put it back in and try to power it on. Repeat a few times, if that doesn't help we'll try other things.

when I had that problem I figured out that it was the battery that was making the phone act weird. Since LG sent me another battery when they had the promotion I used the other spare and that fixed it for me.
This happens right after I flashed the new system, I doubt it is the batter problem. If I plugged into the computer it still won't power on.
(If I remove the battery and plug into computer, the screen of the phone does show some symbol, probably regarding missing memory).
Let me try to see if I use kdz flash to reinstall the system. Thanks for the help.

No it just shows regular LGE com port and I am not able to flash anything. You are right, it's hard bricked I am not sure what went wrong with my twrp flashing procedure though. Will contact with LG for repair.

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?

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...

Is there anyone who can help me fix my a52? It has null imei after numerous reflashes, wifi work, just cellular is not working. I read about broken EFS unfortunately I dont have it backed up, is there a way to extract it from phone and repartition it to fix the cellular? One chinese person who messaged me offered me help, then asked 150 for the fix when I told him I would think about it he tried something on my device, he then ghosted my messages.
I read somewhere that tools like chimera can help fix this?

There are some tools that can repair the IMEI, one called IMEI repair tool, it doesn't require any fee: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...YQFnoECAgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2-FpI_TTLca34H7AA0RHpQ
I don't know if it works or not because I never had a case where i had to repair my IMEI. Give it a try
