I think I bricked my phone - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just got the LG G3 root it, Installed TWRP recovery and made full wipe to install AndroidNow rom but it is failing.
Before I wiped the device I made a backup but I can't restore it either.
I still got access to TWRP recovery.
What I can do to fix it?
Thanks.

The error I am getting is that it can't restore system. Everything else it can but hangs on the system partition.
Also when I am trying to flash a rom it says it can't open the zip file.
I tried the method which you gave me the link for and it didn't work. I am getting error of usb is disconnected after few minutes every time.
Do you have any other idea?

Try another computer/usb port/usb cable.

I flashed paranoid ROM and gapps but after rebooting gapps failed to flash and now I have no way of getting into twrp to restore my backup. Tried using lg flashtool DLL and tot but get messagage saying lg USB port locked. I'm at a total loss as what to do. I've checked SD card from computer and twrp is still there along with my backed up restore. How can I get to it or how do I fix this issue with no way of getting into google apps? Someone please help!

Did you manually try getting into twrp? Power off the phone, hold vol down + power at the same time until recovery screen pops up, choose factory reset option, select yes, and twrp should appear.
This is how it works on vs985...not sure on your model if it's different or not.
have tried that as well.
I've tried the factory reset and it boots into twrp for a quick second and then reboots back into the paranoid ROM. I've tried hitting the back button to stop the process in twrp so I can restore the backup but it will not let. I found a download for flashify that wasn't on google play and when I installed it I get the message that I do not have root/SuperSU which I'm pretty sure is because I'm a moron and don't have gapps installed. I know all the things I need to restore my phone are on SD card because they show up when plugged into my laptop I just can't get to it! I've also downloaded SDK studio to try opening a cmd recovery reboot but I can't find where in that huge studio where I can open a command prompt to give it a shot. Is there a smaller SDK I can download without having to get the whole studio? Thanks again to everyone who has any advice to give.

of course you can. flashify available on play store. If you are already rooted then you can install flasify app. and reboor to recovery mode. But I recommend a clean flash of stock kdz or tot then root install recovery amd reflash your favourite rom.
I don't have playstore. I have no gapps package
Use ADB Command from your computer.

Bootloop after flashing TWRP, CM13

I'm (or rather, was) on CM13 nightly, today I downloaded TWRP through Flashify and flashed it, previously I was using Philz Touch, now I have a bootloop. I just had a bootloop a few days ago and had to install everything over again, and I really don't feel like doing it again. What can I do?

Can you enter the recovery mode? And if so I would recommend reflashing everything, that usually helps xD

Yes I can, but I reeeeeally don't feel like going back to stock AGAIN, I was thinking maybe flashing CyanogenMod Recovery would help fix the issue since TWRP is apparently not compatible with Marshmallow, the problem is I can't get my PC to recognize my phone in fastboot mode therefore I can't flash the new recovery. Any ideas?

Why didn't you backup your data? Always backup your data! Moreover, put the image to flash on your sd card

Wipe as usual, then in TWRP go to mount and choose external_sd, after that navigate up until you find the folder external_sd and load from there
You don't need to go back to stock. If you can enter recovery, you can wipe system (only) and dirty flash your cm13 over it. It usually works and dont lose your personal files nor installed apps. If it don't, do a full wipe and flash your rom again.

what version of twrp are you running? do you have a nandroid backup that you could restore? sometimes the partitions can get messed up during an update. if nothing helps, just follow this unbrick guide which will revert your phone completely back to stock, with all the storage partitions intact.
3.0.2-1

3.0.2-1

yeah, everyone's got that one, but there are many versions of it usually a number, like 3.0.2-1 (22) for example, and each one build for specific cases. except you got it from the official twrp web, then there shouldn't really be problems with cm14.1
what about nandroid? can you restore one?
do you have any idea how to boot it?

I had the same situation. You get out of this by fastboot flashing cm recovery, booting to it, then flash twrp back in fastboot. I think the ota doesnt fully work with twrp.
Flash the modified twrp from the second post in this forum

Soft Bricked D855

Okay, so a few days ago I had a completely stock LG G3 D855 v30n Marshmallow. Then I decided I wanted to root it and flash fulmics. So I flashed the v30b kdz with lg flash tool and rooted the phone with rootking. Everything worked perfectly until I flashed the ROM. I made a nandroid backup with TWRP and I downloaded the fulmics 6.6 zip of the xda forum and put it onto my external sd card. I tried to flaash it onto my phone but it wouldn't work (it kept reloading into recovery mode every time I tried to flash it). I thought the problem was I was using an old version of TWRP. So I flashed my backup and soft bricked my device. I have access to download mode. Could someone please help me in unbricking my phone and is it even possible to flash a rom in my situation? Thank you very much in advance.

Oh, forgot to mention I fixed it! Reset and was back in stock 4.0. I rooted again and flashed the fulmics rom (properly) and everything is working great! Thanks so much for the help - would be screwed without it!

Hi, did you ever manage to solve this? I have the exact same problem.
You should really freeze updates with twrp.
You now need to fastboot the stock rom or flash a custom rom to get out of this situation.
In twrp mode, attach to pc and backup your internal files first.

Flashing rom again did not help with this, the problem is in the misc partition.
