Bricked LG G3/Factory Reset status 2 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have been trying to unbrick my LG G3 D855 for the past 24h with no success.
First it was stuck on IIRC [710] Fastboot mode started and I was having problems flashing a new KDZ and using the .tot method, but after like 30 tries it suddenly worked just to get stuck in the factory 2 and now every time I try to use the LG Flash Tool I get the same error(Can't change to download mode, basically never goes after 6%). Also tried the Board DL instead of upgrade DL.
Tried with a different computers, different cables, different .tot files, different usb ports, different flash tool versions.
I really have no idea what to do now and I'm getting desperate.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Looks like you did the same thing I did. You hardbricked it. Good luck but I think you need to get a replacement.

Well, I can get into download mode/recovery mode(erasing to factory default does nothing as it still shows the factory reset status 2)
You had this same issue ?

I had the same issue of the "dreaded red #2" and if you can get into download mode you may/should be able to fix it.
Search the forums again for instructions, verify you have all the settings correct and of course the correct files/drivers for you phone model. I believe you are suppossed to have the "BOARD DL" option selected.

[Q] G2 stuck at boot logo no download mode no recovery device manager wont recognize

ok i see lots of threads about G2 stuck at LG logo with no download mode etc but none specific to my situation so figured id start my own.
my phone is stuck at the lg logo when i try to boot, when i try to go to download mode it shows the blue dots but windows, flash tool, nothing will recognize the phone as being plugged in, and not even the little sound windows makes when a usb device is plugged in, its been a little while so i cant remember EXACTLY what the last thing i did that bricked it was, something i did on command line with aboot something, i can try to dig it up if absolutely necessary but it would take some digging...when i try to boot into recovery it freezes at the "loading recovery screen, when i try to go to download mode it sticks at the blue dots and wont respond to anything, when i try to do a factory hard data reset it says "hard reset processing" or something similar then freezes there, ive tried reinstalling the drivers, using different pcs, read through countless threads, but have had no luck, any ideas what i can do to unbrick my brand new g2?? thanks in advance

This is what i would do....looks like your cable works, looks like you know how to get into Download and Recovery Mode. You have to get it to be detected, if it boots into Download mode it should work. Try re-installing the drivers.

with the phone off (completely), hold volume button (up i believe), and plug usb into computer. This should bring up download mode. If volume up doesnt work, try volume down. If you get just to the dots, then your download mode is broken.
was just about to start a new thread but didn't want to get into trouble..anyway I am in need of some assistance please.my ls980 has been bricked for some time now been searching all over the internet for a solution to be stuck back at square one.found this video on youtube which is pretty much exactly what my phone is doing.I have used lg flash tool to revert to stock and still nothing I lost root doing that but last night,I managed to regain root access I have no idea how but it happened when i clicked ioroot batch file i went into download mode and it stated bottom left ROOTED in red so i managed that but that is it still doing what is being shown in the video its on youtube

Read it. You might get Download Fail can not restart to download mode a few times. Keep trying, use different usb ports restart computer, try again, restart phone to download mode. I must have got that message 50 times then all of a sudden it worked. Its a pain but see how it goes. There is another way but it is a pain and involves lots of setup.

[problem] lg g3 d855 unrooting and installing stock ROM from Fulmics 6.9

So I got my lg G3 a while back, and until a couple of weeks ago it worked perfectly fine, rooted, custom recovery and custom ROM's(currently running Fulmics 6.9 on it).
Then, I noticed it started to fade to black(a well known problem, not the subject of this thread), and I want to send it to a care taker, since technically the time period of warranty isn't over.
So, I began to try and unroot it according to multiple internet guides, failing time after time. then, I noticed I don't have download mode, and it goes into safe boot mode instead. On top of that, I can't access my bootloader. I tried several methods, some including LGFlashTool and LGMobile support tool but with no success. So, considering I'm not exactly an expert in this matter(I'm clueless about what to do) I come here with a request for help. Any help is much appreciated and I'd be happy to provide any extra information if needed. Thanks a lot in advance.

Take a look here, if you haven't seen that thread already. Since you are on MM right now, you need to use LGUP tool. The full instructions are in the Post #3 in the thread; just follow them. Note that you don't need to enter the DL mode - just keep your phone turned on, and plug into your PC. As long as you have proper drivers installed, your device will be recognized when you launch LGUP, and you should be good.
I personally haven't tried this going back to stock from Fulmics, but I did successfully use this method several times when I was playing around and trying to root my phone and install TWRP.

so I tried following the instructions in the thread you provided, but LGup doesn't recognize my phone so i cant enter it.
tried looking for a solution but i cant find anything. I'd appreciate it if you could help me.
Thanks.
EDIT: I've figured out the identification problem but lgup does require Download mode, it just enters it by itself.
this brings me to the original problem-I don't have download mode hence I cannot use lgup.

When I try and start download mode it writes fastboot mode and then the screen goes black and the led flashes red and blue. I tried to look for a solution for it but couldn't find anything.

OK, this I don't know how to fix, sorry... I was thinking that you just can't enter the DL mode manually for some reason, so the LGUP tool would do it for you. But from what you are saying, it appears that your phone can't enter the DL mode, period. That's really weird, and I have no idea what can be done in this case...

Please help me buddies!

Hello there pals, I have a problem, I have an Lg H815P (Mexico Version), and i was using it normally for about 15 days, then suddenly the home screen freezed, and then the phone restarted, i thougt it was just a lagging issue, but then, when the phone booted up again, after like 5 secs it freezed up again and restart, a infinte loop, then i said, this Rom must be corrupted (Stock TELCEL Rom v20b Android MM), and decided to do a hardware keys factory reset, then the phone restarted but when it was android upgrading apps, it kept restarting, at last it booted up but the problem persist. So im kinda worried, how a problem cant be fixed at a full hard reset? When im trying to flash a KDZ file From lg flash tool, the program fails because cant find phone, a kinda weird thing because the adb detects it sometimes, others not, i booted the phone in safe mode and the problem persist anyway, what can I do? I already have the drivers, the lg up, and the lg bridge apps, they all said that im running the last software for my mobile device, i´ve tried another battery as well, so im kinda lost, another thing, after the hard reset, the phone was able to stay on like 15 mins, sometimes 5, sometimes just secs, dunno what is happening but i really need some ideas, can you help me to work this out?
Greetings pals!

I have had this problem occur because of the launcher. Try cleaning the cache and data and see whether an updated version is available. You could also try a 3rd party one and see if that helps or simply re-install the LG launcher.
If no luck, you could try flashing another kdz with LGUP-NEW: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
There are a couple of TCL kdz's listed on this site: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h815p-firmwares/
Scroll sown to LG H815P Firmware List.
Back up everything first.

I have the drivers, the pc in download mode and connected to pc, full charged, what else im missing?

Make sure you are using the correct LG Mobile Driver on your PC: LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0
If you are using the drivers your PC installs, you will have issues. Check in Device Manager on your PC.
Use LGUP-NEW to install a kdz.

If the phone is still recognized on your PC, see if you can get into download mode. If you can, try re-installing the KDZ from there. Make double sure it is the same kdz that was installed on your phone when it worked.
The other option is to see if you can get into recovery mode and try a factory reset.
It is possible that the freezing you were experiencing before when it booted up was, as raptordd suggested above in post #4, an early sign of the hardware bootloop issue that has now manifested fully. The only real option then is to send it in to LG for repair and tell them your phone, you believe, has developed the hardware bootloop issue. Even if out of official warranty, they should replace the motherboard in that case, at no cost to you.

Now that u mention that, the phone was recognized by pc, but i installed a lot of kdzs, and none of them made the phone boot, every one of them were for h815p v20a, the one that was installed, but now i connect it to pc and then says download mode but doesnt enter and then the lg logo appears again, even the charge is meesed up now, i think i screwed the download mode and the charge mode, is that possible? but i tried the factory reset when i had the working firmware but the problem persists. Now im thinkin my only option is to use a octoplus box to revive it, but dunno if that will fix the restart problem, about that warranty stuff, i can send it to lg mexico and they should change my motherboard for free? That sound too good to be true.

See if you can enter recovery using the hardware buttons and try executing it again.
LG has been replacing motherboards in a lot of cases where the issue is attributable to their own hardware issue (ILAPO). You don't really want to discuss the things you have done to get it working again with them ... if you get my drift, i.e., play dumb ...

Ok if none of the baove works, ill do that, but no, it has no recovery neither, not even stock, i read about a bootloader way to fix the download mode, im gonna try that but i doubt i can cuz bootloader is factory locked cuz is latin version.
No luck at all, phone is still bricked, is there any way to flash stuff via bootloader or abd without bootloader unlocked or root?

Bricked LG-D852 ''Communication failed with device'' LG Flash Tool

Long story short, I tried flashing an older version of the firmware because I was having constant wifi issues even with a factory reset.
Everything went well, the phone rebooted with the android character on its back with the trunk open and the progress bar loaded until it froze. Now every times I try to boot it there's the droid on its back with the frozen loading bar.
Then when trying again to flash the stock rom using the COM41 LG flash tool, it keeps saying ''communication failed with device''
Here's everything I tried:
-De-installing and re-installing the LG drivers
-Tried the LG Flash tool method with 4 different computers and I still have the communication failed with device error
-The qualcom 9008 method where you need to short the ground with another pin
-Tried using LG's own tool from their websites to try updating or use the update recovery and it still gave the communication error
I can still boot it into download mode so there is still hope right?
Which is very annoying is that I still have 175$ to pay on it and LG's ''one price repair'' costs 150$...
Thanks in advance for your advices

By chance have you tried the stock reocvery or factory reset
Also you can try LG Up to see if it works The G5 threads some where has a modded version with refurb options
I was faced with a mjor hardware issue that would be flashed out stock with flash tool Had to use the refurb option with UP

I've found the LGUP tool on the G5 thread and I've unlocked the hidden features. Except I keep having the communication failed issue.
Both the LGUP and LG Flash tool make the same results it gets up to 6% says: ''LAF with a few numbers LAF 567.878.XXX as example'' then gives the failed to communicate with device

Looks like I'm pretty much in the same situation . I used to have a galaxy S4, every time I thought it was dead I would find a way to bring it back to life. Even my other G3 "D851 model from T-Mobile" which I did about the same manipulations in the same goal and didn't have any issues with it.

Yes! That's the worst thing! I can set it to COM PORT 41. Then when I start the Flashing with LG Flash Tool, the phone displays COM 41 in green and the complete name of the .tot file even appears of the screen of the phone!

If you used LGUP that definitely the reason your phone is in the state it's in. If i buy a cheap g3 off of somewhere and downgrade it I'll never use LGUP. lg flash tool is your best option though I'm getting a g6, cause the g3 is old now i think you should upgrade if an upgrade is your thing the i got some good phones on my list. But if you're gonna stick with the g3 then they sell 'em for pretty cheap and if you're gonna downgrade to 4.4.2 kk then use lg flash tool. If you're gonna downgrade to 5.0 or upgrade (not really) to 6.0 then use the modified lg flash tool 2014. All i gotta say is you're phone is done i learned it the hard way

Yeah :/ it'll teach me to stop wanting to crack every phone that falls in my hands. Just to bad I still owe money on it though. I doubt selling it on auction for parts on eBay would even be worth it.
I got the same problem with my LG G3 D852. I have tried multiple USB cables and USB ports. I can get into download mode easily, factory reset just returns to the same problem with a Droid open hatch and spinning wired shape and a bar on the bottom. I have tried LG flash tool and LGUP, but both fail at 6% with a communication error. I think the problem is my USB cable, but that is just my guess. I have followed the guides on the forms on this site, that is the only conclusion I can come up with.
