Can you get into download mode? If so and your computer isn't seeing your phone then it is a driver issue with your computer.

When you plug in your phone right click on the "installing drivers" and tell it to stop searching windows update. It will then check your computer for the files you installed and you should be able to get it working. I ran into this myself and it took me a few minutes before i figured it out.

If you have an SD card, put the rom you want to use on it, then flash in twrp
Or you can adb sideload the rom of your choice
I ran into the same problem. Youll need to flash the phone back to untouched stock. Its in the tmobile lg g3 general forum. Just follow the instructions. Then you'll need to root and install custom recovery if you choose so.
Were you able to get G3 back to normal? I accidentally did the same thing this morning. Fortunately I still have my GS3 to hold me off until I get time to fix the LG.

Use lg flash tool back to stock
BAD ASS G3
The Solution Flash To Stock/Unroot
I followed these instructions and worked fine when i was stuck in boot loop.
androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html
Had the same issue previously on a E980 (AT&T G Pro), and unfortunately ran into the same problem on my D851 after attempting to take an OTA. Here's a flashable of the script I found in the int'l forums.

This was a lifesaver, really didn't want to mess around flashing all the way back to stock, then restoring backup. Thanks!
Dude this worked like a charm. Too bad I didn't read about this on my last G3. I'm on my 3rd G3 in the past 6 months. Multirom is the **** but it will get you stuck if you flash the latest OTA on the stock rom.
How do you install the stock recovery. the lg flash tool doesn't work and gives me a failed message every time I try.

Can you please spare a minute to help me. As i flashed the above file but still in twrp revovery.
I am having a serious problem need help or suggestion for anyone.
While i was having proximity calibration issues while calling the sensor was delaying to everything. I tried to run a hardware test from the service menu from fulmics tweaks in fulmics rom for marshmallow. But now my device is again and again booting up in twrp recovery. I wiped everything and installed the rom again but again i think the phone is commanding the system to run a device test and its booting up twrp recovery again. Now please someone tell me what should i do. Should i flash a non stock based rom or should i flash a CM based rom or any other suggestion. Please help.
So I have an LG G Pro F240l
So essentially, because I flashed the wrong recovery (the F240k, as that's what I thought the phone was), this means I have no recovery.
I cannot root my phone, because basically the recovery doesn't exist.
I can use adb.
I can't do anything after booting other than use ADB, because "LG IMS has stopped working" will constantly appear and impede my ability to achieve anything (this occured after flashing the new lolipop update, which while it technically worked, I should have done a factory reset before doing it.
KDZ files are only the roms, I can flash those fine.
I have a 4.4 rom, and the new lolipop build in terms of those files.
I am unable to locate the tot or dll files I need for my F240l
First, removing LG IMS would make life easier, as that should theoretically fix the problem, making the OS at least useable.
Secondly, how would I go about getting myself a recovery that works (even the stock recover), and flashing it without already having a recovery?
Is there a way I can temporarily root the phone without going into recovery at all?
Please help, I'd rather not have a $160 paperweight..
Edit: I've gotten the ROM working, but I still have no way to root or install a recovery.

Make sure you have LG Suite installed and of course all the drivers. Put the phone into download mode and engage Repair Upgrade Errors in LG Suite. You should get back to stock.

I just did this, all it did was re-flashed the same rom I already had (presumeably the .kdz) file. The recovery is still missing and only showing a an android with a compartment open and a red exclamation point.

This is a wild shot in the dark, but try holding vol down, home, power.. then wait for prompt and confirm hard reset with power button. then try the lg suite "repair upgrade" again while in download mode. Hope you can sort it out.
Hello all. I was trying to root my LG G3 d855hkg and I did succeeded in that. But afterwards, when trying to install the TWRP I seem to have messed up with something, because when I try to boot up in recovery mode I only get this single line :
[760] Fastbood mode started
and that's it. I can see that other people have the same issue but non of the things that helped them works with me. Do you have any suggestions what could I do from this point on. My main goal is to install Lollipop 5.1 or a Cyanogenmod 12 (and to remove the current KitKat). Any help will be appreciated.

Reflash the KitKat firmware using LG Flash Tool and after that root and install TWRP using Flashify
Just keep in mind that when your flashing it use Normal Flash and NOT CSE
Hi,
My H815 always suffered from this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/fastboot-download-mode-problem-t3466649 - the only way I could have fastboot was from an adb shell.
Well, that was not a problem until today: CM14's nightly broke (booting just loops at the moving logo) and now I have no way to go back to fastboot. And if I try the recovery mode, I just have a blurry circle saying "erasing" for a few seconds, then a looping CM logo.
Anyone has a way out of this mess ?

When you say you try the recovery mode how do you try to get into it? Btw do you have twrp installed?
Same thing happened to me, tried to install, just got put straight back in to TWRP after boot. Tried installing a stock ROM, CM ROM & using LG Bridge to recover, to no avail. Help appreciated, (i'm assuming LGUP is going to come up a lot)

Sorry, it's nearly the same issue though, CM14.1 broke phones today.
Today's update broke mine as well. Looking for solutions. Will follow your thread and progress.
Same for me. Tried download mode with lgup to flash stock which worked once - but I kind of bricked it again by trying to install cm14.1 again. Then i tried to go back to stock using lgup again, but now lgup it just crashes. The phone now goes automatically to download mode after turning it on, the progress bar stays at 0%, the phone says "633A B100" and lgup crashes after 9% "prepare dlmode" or something similar. any ideas? :/
Some people seem to have fixed this issue by flashing the official Cyanogenmod Recovery.

After flashig the CM Recovery via TWRP, i can't use the recovery anymore. If i boot into CM-Recovery the display shows "Ereasing" and start the system. After that i got a bootloop.
Is it possible to use fastboot??
You guys should also check CM14.1 thread because people there are talking about the same problem. The latest post says the only solution was to flash an official kdz with LGUP.

Did that. Worked once. Then i tried to flash cm again and had the same problems, so i wanted to flash stock again... now lgup crashes at 9% and the phones goes directly to download mode after turning it on.

And the two times you tried to flash CM, that was with the same recovery ?
Can you go into fastboot mode ?

Yes, it was with cm recovery 20161130, if i remember correctly.
Sadly now, i can not go into fastboot. The phone goes directly into download mode. My windows vm detects the phone, and tries to flash a recent kdz, but lgup crashes at 9%. The phone still shows "0%".
Oh that's bad. What about another kdz ?

Already tried like 3-4.... Its always the same. If the tool would at least give me a little bit more information, but it just stops.
I don't know then. Some users seem to have had the same problem (stuck at 9%) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/4233?query=lgup 9%
I had the same issue, tried several things, my final solution was:
- Start in download mode (Volumen up and then plug in cable)
- use "LG Brigde" on Mac to install stock Rom ( Software update tab in APP ) guess should also work with Windows
- Boot original android
- enable usb debug
- Start bootloader via ADB
- fastboot flash recovery to twrp 3.0.2
- Boot in recovery via power and vol down (first factory reset from stock appears but after this twrp is starting)
- install cm nighty of 1 DEC via ADB sideload
- reboot and done
In the meantime i updated to twrp 3.0.2-1., installed gapps etc. everything is now working fine again.
Hope this is also working for you.
Which version of cm14 did u download and install? Can u please post the exact version?
Mmh ... LGUP is the Windows utility right ? How do I do if I only have a Linux machine ?

I'm trying to get to it via power+down, I get to the double "do you want to factory reset ?" question, but then :
- sometimes the CM recovery just says "erasing" for a few seconds and reboots to (non-working) CM
- sometimes it just plainly boots to (non-working) CM
I used to have TWRP installed but it didn't work with CM update, so I let CM install its own recovery.
Hi,
My previous post relates to this one. Due to that problem I got, I had to factory reset my device to get my camera working again. However, instead, my phone rebooted into TWRP and would not boot system normally. When I tried to go to factory mode via fastboot I ended up in endless bootloop. Back in TWRP I tried to restore my backed up ROM from before rooting, but nothing really changed. I am really desperate because I have not find any solutions for my model and I don't want to use other montana models stock ROMs as I suspect them not to be compatible. What shall I do?
Cheers

Ok I was able the Stock rom, but it is Chinese, not the global one wihout Gapps and lots of bloatware. Do you know if there is also a GLOBAL stock ROM I can get? Conversely, is there perhaps a custom ROM like Lineage OS or others that is compatible with this device? Cheers

Sorry this is the stock rom of montana_retcn, to install the playstore by the store that comes in it, and it has the English language.
The rom that you were supposed to be a shop rom of the store that you bought, mine came with one of this but unfortunately I do not know where it has to download ...

Turn off the device, boot into Fastboot Flash Mode using vol down + power, using volume keys scroll and select factory mode and device will turn on. the next time you boot up the device, it won't go into TWRP directly. I have faced this issue many times. Hope this helps.

Not in this case. What Factory Mode did was that it got stuck in loading loop playing the Moto logo endlessly for over 5 minutes. Anyway, the phone is now hard bricked so I am facing even larger issue )

I'm having the same problem with my wifes g5s.
I have found that from twrp>restart>bootloader (phone then enters bootloader) I can the immediately choose "start" to boot the phone.
But that is a hassle I'd prefer my wife not having to go through...

Flash stock ROM via fastboot problem will be solved..
As far as people who need play store can flash gapps via TWRP as a same method we use for custom ROMs.
P.S. i will not suggest to buy XT1799-2 because this SKU is purely made for Chinese Market, if you need any custom ROM go to Weibo.com/diyroms and post a request to build a custom ROM for this device.
And there are some custom ROMs available that you can search via baidu.com ( Chinese Search Engine).
I will try to find any ROM and post for you guys and also post. Request to build for XT1799-2.
CHEERS
so have you find any global custom rom for this device ?
