Hi guys, so my problem is I was installing a new rom on my rooted D855. everything was going along fine but then the process stalled. I left it running for 15 - 20 minutes but it was still on 33%. I tried holding the power button in desperation which shut the thing down. Now when I try to factory reset it goes to the prompt screen, I answer yes, then it asks me to confirm. from there however it goes to LG splash screen and eventually a black screen with Fastboot mode started. -reset- portcharge -reset- portcharge fastboot: processing commands in the top left corner. That's it.. If I try download mode it goes to the download screen and then to the black screen as described above.
Sounds pretty ordinary but if there is an answer out there I am sure one of you guys will know it.
TIA
i had some similar other issue and the only way i got out of it, is by using the lg flashtool 2014 and the KDZ file appropriate to your version
there is a thread with a step by step instructions.
you launch the flashtool, then insert the kdz file (original stock rom) then you put your phone into download mode (making sure in windows/controlpanel/devicemanager/ports - comp port 41 for the device driver)
you press volume up and plug it into the pc, the pc sees the phone and it starts reflashing the custom rom to your cell.
i presume that as soon as your download mode is working by flashing whatever command is corrupt and makes your phone black should be bypassed by then
i hope it helps - look for the thread how to flash the lg
Thanks I'll give it a shot. Not sure device manager is seeing it properly. I'll have a play and see. Thanks again for the reply
O.K here's the thing, my phone is seen in device manager as a Samsung Android Phone. Under the details tab it shows it connected via USB Modem Phone ADB Port. There is no option to change the port to 41. Anybody who can help I would be very grateful......

So it all started out rather stupidly. I was attempting to flash a new ROM to my phone and I was deleting everything and accidentally deleted the OS by accident (mis-touched in recovery mode). I panicked and I attempted to push a file through adb but it was halting between 4MB - 8MB on a 200MB file. I knew this wasn't right. I ran cmd in administrator mode and tried again and got the same results.
I then moved to ODIN to attempt to flash the ROM. I ran ODIN in administrative mode. Bootloader was unlocked. I attempted to flash the new ROM but it stopped at about 1/8th of the progress (as shown in the download mode). This led to my phone having communication issues with my PC (displayed the phone with a hazard sign on the cord to the PC). I assumed it was bricked after googling around.
I then tried to use OMAPFlash as suggested by other people with the same issue. I did this, followed instructions perfectly, installed certificates. It got to the point where it was attempting to download a file. After 2 hours of waiting, I stopped it stupidly because it was making no progress.
Now my phone is completely black. I have no OS and I am not even sure if I have any files on it. Screen is black, phone not responding to button pushes and it isn't being recognised by my PC. I have tried unplugging it, removing battery and then plugging it in and inserting the battery again and that has failed.
I don't know what else to do. OMAP isn't picking up the phone anymore even though I have followed the instructions perfectly again. The one sign that my phone is still alive is the beeping noise from windows as I insert it meaning something must be happening. This however is soon followed by "Your device is unrecognised".
Can anyone help me on the situation as the phone is in perfect condition (physically) and I can't really afford a new decent phone at the moment.
Here is all the information you may need:
[Before incident]:
ROM: CM11
Rooted: Yes
Bootloader Unlocked: Yes
Ask for anything else.
[Attempted to change to]
ROM: XenonHD
Ask for anything else.
first off, why odin?
its a nexus you can flash back to stock from fastboot. I would suggest you download the factory images for the phone from here:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jwr66y-factory-5104ab1d.tgz
then extract the images into a folder - remove the battery from the phone, put it back in the phone, power up while holding down vol + and vol - to get into fastboot
hopefully you have android sdk installed and fastboot working. use the flash-all script to flash every partition of the phone back to 4.3 stock.
good luck.
Well first thing, did you select the right zip file for your Gnex when flashing XenonHD. Bcz in my case few days ago i stupidly selected the wrong zip file (ROM for Nexus 5) to flash, but luckily i was saved by the CWM via "Status 7 Error".
But your case is more complicated i would suggest you to use Gnex toolkit with Google Factory Images, i hope that it will come for your rescue . Also try this method http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/08/how-to-restore-galaxy-nexus-i9250-to.html maybe it will do some miracle for you. Best of luck.
Progress
So after sleeping on it and spending some time deeply reflecting on the derp that I had made, I successfully managed to use omap to restore my device to the Phone-Exclamation mark sign as posted by another XDA user who ended up sending his phone back. If you search galaxy nexus brick in google images, you will see what I am talking about (can't post image).
I guess the best way to explain it is: [] -- /_\ -- [ ]
Basically it is a phone connected to a yellow exclamation mark sign and then that is connected to a computer.
Is there a way to force my phone into download mode from here. I can't seem to do anything. Some good news is that ODIN is now picking up my device. It is however crashing whenever I attempt to flash the stock ROM (either "odin3 communicator has stopped working" or "odin3 downloader has stopped working").
Any help fixing this?
hello geeks,
I really need serious help. First the setup I have is as follows
1. I have LG G3 D855 but its european or Hong Kong or Taiwan version I don't know. I bought it in India. I updated it to android 5.0 Lollipop. Everything is fine till now.
2. Then I rooted my phone. This step was also fine. No problem.
3. Then I tried to download camera mod v2.0 to get some extra camera features like 60fps. In this step I got problems. I downloaded the media_profile.xml and copied it to /system/etc. But I made a mistake that I did not change its permission and rebooted the phone.
I am troubleshooting from a windows 8.1 PC. I downloaded the LG USB driver.
Due to this my phone stop at initial LG,Life is Good Screen. I tried different methods in internet.
1. I tired to access the device file file through adb. But the adb does not list the device.
2. I tried to use fastboot mode, but still fastboot does not list device when in the boot screen.
3. I pressed down pwr + volume down button and release after screen come up and then press again. I was asked to erase user data. I said yes and it erased the data. But still the same symptom when I reboot. Stuck at initial screen.
4. I tried to use LG PC Suite. But it does not even detect phone through the USB and there is no repair button.
5. I tried to enter downloading mode. This one is strange. I pressed down the vol up and then connected USB. But sometimes only it enters downloading mode and sometimes not. May be once in 10 times it enters downloading mode and 9 times it goes to initial boot LG screen.
I am not sure whats going on. Can anybody help me to figure it out ? Please help.
Thats because your not doing it properly
Research a guide on how to enter download mode and after that you can use flashtool to wipe your system and reinstall the original lg firmware
I have just flash the custom 5.0.2 ROM using philz touch 6.48.4.
After I flashed the ROM, I reboot to the philz recovery and flashed back to cwm 6.0.4.8.
However, the device stuck on the LG logo screen.
I have try to enter Download mode/Emergence mode/Hard reset mode/Recovery, but all of them I cannot go into.
Please help! Thank you for your helping!!

Your boot loader is broken. Gonna have to get to the down load mode and reinstall either the or the stock. You can probably flash the recovery with .IMG file with lg flashing tool. Nerdy blond's twrp is one of those files that you can use. You can even try installing it first with the adb shell command, you can get the instructions at the same place where you download.

Thank you for replying.
I cannot do anythings since I cannot enter into download mode.
I pressed volume key + and - and insert the usb cable to computer. There is nothing happened, computer dose not show the devices attached and the phone stay in the LG logo screen.
Also, I cannot use adb commands to force the phone enters into download mode as it shows nothings under "List of devices".
Is there any methods I can go into the download mode???
Thank you!

If your phone shows LG start screen, it should go into Download mode. I had similar problem few days ago while I was testing some kernel patches, it just froze on the LG screen. Solution was to unplug it, remove it's battery, SIM & SD (you don't have to remove SIM & SD, I just work that way) , make sure it's off, return battery back, press Vol + & Vol - at the same time and plug-in the USB cable.
Before that, make sure you have installed LG Unified driver (can be obtained via LG's software from support site), because without that Windows won't recognise your device.
After that, once you make your phone usable with Freegee/whatever you use to install initial recovery, flash official TWRP, because others are too old - that Philz CWM is old but still working with Lollipop but not work good and is tends to lock itself into a bootloop if you use hardware keys to enter; that other one, from GPRO_recovery APK is not supported and not working well (for me since day one), so it should be replaced as soon as possible.
Also, I can suggest you to flash your phone from stock 4.1 (not KitKat), root, flash recovery via freegee and after reboot update to latest official TWRP via Flashify.

Thank you for your detail reply.
I have tried to reinstall the LG driver and try to enter download mode again.
The screen is still stuck on LG logo and I cannot find the device in hardware manager (cannot recognize it).
I cannot do anythings until it can recognize it.
(Is it the bootloader is broken? and can I fix it?)
Thank you very much and waiting for your reply soon.:good:

Which version of Windows are you using? It should be displayed under Serial ports in Device manager (named something like LGE Serial device) and LGFlashTool should recognise it immediately. I can't make you a screenshot/check for real name because I'm running Linux right now and can't reboot.
Also, try with another cable/port, remove all other android drivers you may have (Samsung's, Google's...) and disable antivirus.

OK, it doesn't enter download mode. So, step by step:
- remove battery and leave it for 15-30 seconds, return battery
- press Vol+ and Vol- at the same time and keep them pressed,
- plug USB cable in while keys are pressed
It should immediately put you into download mode, with no LG screen, just black screen with gray box and red text I've described to you.

So, whatever you try to do, phone just shows LG logo, not even a message in an upper left corner?
I'm running out of ideas. I have exact same variant (E988) but only time it didn't want to enter download mode this way was when cable I was using was broken...

I have changed the cable, but it is the same.
Hi guys,
I was running CloudyG3 2.5 on my D855. Today I wanted to go back to stock using LG Flash Tool with D85520h firmware file (lollipop) (in Windows 10). It got stuck at 4%. After waiting for close to an hour, I just unplgged the device. Now when I power it up, I get the secure boot error message and it starts blinking the notification LED (alternating red and blue). Going into download mode also brings up the same blinks, as does attempting to go into recovery mode.
All the threads I have gone to seem to assume that the phone can boot, or enter recovery mode or enter download mode. My phone can do neither.
I desperately need help.
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot mate. I used the willcracker tool attached in the OP of the thread and it worked like a charm. My phone could go into the Qualcomm HS-USB mode but one of the following factors could have been at play:
1. The BoardDiag tool I was used was fake (as mentioned in the thread you referred me to.
2. The PC I was working on has all ports as USB 3.0 (I'm not sure if that was issue or the fact that I had other devices connected-- just a mouse adaptor, but I could see my phone in Device Manager)
So, I went ahead and changed all of the above: used the newly-found BoardDiag (willcracker), on a another PC with a USB 2.0 port and made sure no other devices were connected.
My phone is now back to life!
Hello all,
I've done a lot of googling and searching on these forums and I'm having no luck. Hopefully by asking I can get some headway.
I was attempting to restore to stock rom. At 17% of the process using LGFlashTool 1.8.6 the tool gave me an error 'Unable to Communicate with phone' after about 10 minutes of no progress. I exited the LGFlashTool program and ran it again and now it fails saying 'Cant' change to download mode". If I turn the phone off and then press Vol+ and plug in my cable it just goes to the Firmware Update screen. My phone *IS* detected properly in the device manager as LGE Andriod MTP Device and under ports as LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM41). If I go into recovery (Vol- and power) it asks if I want to do the restore - but it doesn't actually do anything once I say yes twice. Just sits at the firmware update screen at 0%.
I looked at this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091) but it appears to be either for a different phone or different problem (showing in device manager as a bulk device - mine is not doing that). Frankly I don't want to make things worse (if that's possible)
Does anyone have a way that I can restore the download mode for this D852 phone? I'm hoping if I can get download mode to work again I can reflash the stock rom. I don't care about the data on the phone at this point.
I'm willing to send some $$$ via paypal to whomever can get me back up and running! Thanks

What happens when u just power up the phone ?
Thanks for the reply.
If I shut the phone down (by pulling battery) then plug it back in and just power it on, I get the LG logo then it goes to the firmware update screen with 'USER B84" in the box below the progress bar. Progress bar never moves. I get to this screen whether I start it in recovery (which is just the factory recov - looks like during the initial 17% it wiped out my TWRP), attempt to start it in download mode (I do not get the download mode screen with the blue dots anymore), or regularly by just holding the power button.
ok
Dont plug it into the computer and try to power it up what does ot do?
Same thing.

Ok that didn't work for me but I did try the LGFlashTool using Board DL instead of Upgrade DL and it was moving a bit. Finally got to 10% and failed at 574 sec with the error "We can't communicate with Phone". I am using the cable that came with the phone. It isn't damaged or anything.
Here's what is shows in the LG Flashtool window (this is port 1 (com41)

On the phone it shows COM41 under the usb icon on under firmware update and 0% progress. In the box below it says:

S U LG-D852 04.4.2 Hrev_10

That's it. Should I leave the phone connected at this point or unplug it? Device still shown in device manager (have had it up beside the LG Flashtool window the whole time. I do see it refresh from time to time but the contents dont' seem to change at all.
Ok so I left this over night and when I checked the phone this morning it's different but I don't think it's good.
Looks like it proceeded but ended with:
FBOOT Check
FBOOT Complete Time [0s ] 1th try
Factory Reset Flag = 2
Factory Reset Flag Check Fail!!!
And my phone has a blue screen with Factory Reset Status and a big red '2'
Now what do I do?
Some further information.
If I run the LGFlashTool in Board DL action mode, it seems like the process works but I end up with the red 2 on the screen. But I don't get 'can't change to download mode' or 'cannot communicate with phone' errors.
However if I choose Upgrade DL action mode, then I get 'can't change to download mode' or cannot communicate with phone'. ARGH. What gives?
I have tried things like fresh restarts (restarting PC), restarting the LG FlashTool between attempts, not restarting flashtool, etc. I can't seem to find the sweet spot.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/help/fix-bricked-lg-g3-ls990-stuck-fastboot-t3084562 another tutorial to try
Thanks, but no dice.
I don't get fastboot options, and if i download and attempt to use fastboot, it shows no devices.
Also, when following the steps for the BOARD DL option in the lg flashtool, it goes through the process but I get no ATT screen. Nor do I get the option to tap OK or Normal - as soon as my device reboots after the flash, it gives me a MINI OS (iirc) screen with a bunch of vertical bars below it moving up and down then it changes to the Factory Reset screen with the number 2.
