Hi all, I come to you as my last resort.
I have spent hours on google trying to find a solution to my problem.
This is what happened.
I store my ROMS on an external SD and sometimes i get the error that it is being removed unexpectedly...sometimes..anyway.
I booted into my TWRP and went to flash DarkKnights ROM..this ROM was something like 1.7 GB i think and after completely wiping the device (System, data and cache) i proceeded to flash the new rom..However it flashed very very quickly which i found strange but proceeded to restarting my device.
After that my phone has been completely dead!
What i think happened is that the EXTERNAL SD malfunctioned during the installation and im left with absolutely nothing on my phone.
I cannot enter recovery or download mode!
The only sign of life is when i plug it into my computer and it installs a driver that is the androidnet driver not the qualcom driver that some people have had and fixed.
I am open to any suggestions as you truly are my last resort.
Haven't really got much to say in the way of helping you mate, sounds like you're in a real Pickle :/
I'm sure someone here has a solution, there'd surely be SOME way to resolve it, we've got some pretty talented devs that do some amazing stuff so someone should be able to help ya somewhere.
All the best man, if you need help we're here

try fastboot mode.
For that install this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979&nocache=1
after you can apply fastboot commands
If you want to find custom recovery, flash kitkat aboot, kitkat laf and twrp recovery
you can have all this files in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/d855-one-click-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767/post59895642#post59895642
Download the script and extract it. In the folder there are all files (aboot, laf and recovery)
But of course , the fastboot command has to work ...
After that you should find recovery and download mode
Fastboot doesnt work for D855...
You can try flashing the TOT file with the old LG Flash Tool but im doubtful it will work
Are you sure you have no recovery access by Power+Vol—

Yes im sure! my phone is completely dead and the only sign of life as i said is when the driver gets installed on the computer when i plug it in.. Thank you for your reply though.
Try LG mobile support tool (old version) : http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
Even if you have not download mode, you can try. Install the tool
Try to boot on download mode, you have error message
run LG mobile support tool
choose Additional functions then Upgrade of the recovery after error
At one moment the tool will say that there is not of g3 connected, reattempts starting in download mode or presses on the button to power. Try several times both.
If it work, the software is going to download the last one kdz available for your device and him(it) to fall in love by following
You can always try this solution, with a little luck ...
I have tried all your suggestions but i still have no luck..i tried the tot method as well and it comes up with an error message of 'download fails'..there must be some way to fix this!!im left with the driver AndroidNet being installed on the computer and a phone that cannot enter recovery or download mode. however i can hear the phone working on the inside if i listen closely..if you have any other suggestions please share!
Update:
I was playing around with the phone and when i plugged it into the computer the screen came on and showed me battery low..also the led light on top started flashing red as it does when the phone's battery is low..I dont know if this will help in finding a fix but im hopeful.. :/

Hello my friend..All i did was plug the wire into the computer and then into my phone..and because my battery was very low the screen turned on and showed me the battery low screen..then the led started flashing..and finally the phone switched off completely..Thankfully i have another battery to continue my testing and trying to fix it..but apart from that that happened with the battery im back to square one where my phone is completely dead again and the only response i get is the AndroidNet USB driver being installed on the computer.

Don't get it with >>>>Open terminal in ubuntu then type: do i open terminal in computer or in the phone. If open in the phone, its impossible because the problem we had right now is when we connect the phone with PC, the only thing show up on computer is LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port. but our phone screen still off even the system is boot in.

Thank you very much for the thread you posted..i tried it but the thing is..my phone has literally nothing on it so when i put each file manually into the phone i dont know which sdb to put it through to..as the thread says it should give a lost of all the system partition files but since my one doesnt have anything on the phone it does not find them...
However, i did manage to establish a connection between the phone and the terminal in linux so im thinking maybe i have to flash each file manually that i can get from a system dump of a g3 and maybe thay will work..what do you think??

Here the same method on Windows : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/choise-unbrick-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9006-t3093844
Yes if you can establish a connection between the phone with the Terminal (linux) or AOMEI Partition Assistant (windows) , you can flash the partitions (aboot, boot, laf) to have after download mode and then apply a kdz

So my G3 16gb version just got bricked..
I had CM13 on it and it just shut down on me, I've had roms since the first day on this smartphone.
So I turned it back on (had to remove the battery), but then I realized that the screen was all black but the smartphone was still on... (weird)
So I took the battery off and waited for it to start and like after 1-2 minutes it just went black but the screen was still on.
Now it doesnt boot into TWRP, or download mode.
If i try to enter download mode, it just shows the LG logo, and after 5-7 minutes the download icon appears then goes to fastboot
If I just turn it on like if it wasnt bricked its stuck at the LG logo..
What can I do? I tried the KDZ flash but since I have no download mode I can't use it..
I also saw this link and didnt help me https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2qe5sr/in_need_of_serious_help_stuck_in_fastbootno/
The only thing that i havent tried was this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...y-download-t3053985/post60106965#post60106965
And the pin shortening one..
Theres nothing on COMs before anyone asks...
Please help me
EDIT: Downloaded files from here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/D855/stock_partitions/10A_16G and tried flashing with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...y-download-t3053985/post60106965#post60106965
No luck, it gave me a bunch of errors writing to the memory : http://pastebin.com/raw/dMRvsnXr
If you did nothing to brick it then it is a hardware failure (eMMC is dead).
Nah.. cm13 and emmc bug = known
Check the cm13 forum. Can be fixed no worries. Basically d855 I unbreakable as I discovered lately.

Might be a bug that is right but trust me if you eMMC breaks and you can't download to it, it is a hardware problem.

Sure. But on the d855 there is a way out. By activating the USB quality 9008 mode. With the wire trick. So it's bricked, but it can be rescued.

No you get it wrong. It's 2 different things. If you brick and your eMMC is fine, yes you can go to 9008. If you eMMC is damaged you can still go to 9008 but it will fail to write on eMMC and fail to recognize it.
I understand. But this error is known to happen with cm13. So nothing broken I would say. Had it all ready 2 time on cm13 never happened with stock based or cm12 for that matter.

I didn't had the same issue as you, but had a similiar one (phone didn't get discovered neither by LGUP nor LG Flash Tool). Yesterday I fixed it by following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
In particular the part where you change your device to COM41 in the device manager.
After you get it discovered by LG Flash Tool flash an official KDZ.
Reboot the phone and connect it to your Windows, allow the connection from the phone screen.
It should promt you to install drivers on the computer, do that (they are different from LG Drivers you download from the web mind you)
Now you can change your COM port back to 3 and everything should be fully discoverable by both LGUP and LG Flash Tool.
I think I replied to you on reddit (same photo) Have you tried plugging the phone in while in download mode ? Did you try installing drivers from the internet ? Coz thats how I fixed the same problem you have.

Exactly, here I am running around in circles over this BOOST Stylo 2, just got it with MM 6.0.1 out of the box 2 days ago. I caught the 454.4mb update it has been trying to do! Got that baby downloaded! 1.02gb unzipped and renamed to kdz. Got a script for Terminal that will replace Kingroot's temp root with SuperSU but I am not going to attempt any further until I know LGUP will recognize and flash my .zip the bas****s deem not worth enough to put up for download on LG's site!
I got LGUP to recognize it in download mode, reads out LGLS775 but still says it cannot open it...............
His info on how he got it to work would prolly have solved this dillema..............
oh well
zach
ok had a LG G3 that's done this- as long as you can get download mode it should recover, YOU need to use the LG mobile support tool from LG website ( LG UP sees phone as unknown model ) run LG mobile Support tool and in option choose UPGRADE RECOVERY . follow instructions and allow to start process, it took 57 minutes to repair my phone - it will seem frozen anywhere from 0% to about 22% JUST WAIT IT OUT!! lg up / twrp flashes in 5 to 10 mins -- the LG m.s.t writes block by block and takes 1 hour +
so hints and info took 3 goes to find and start upgrade recovery - error on a couple of attempts. phone seems frozen around 10% and 15% of firmware upload -- go make a coffee drink it, go pee then come back and worry! A watched pot never boils!....

It didn't. It's EVEN MORE broken :'(
I figured out how to get my PC to recognize my D851. Apparently all the LG software didn't like how many COM ports I have. As soon as I unplugged everything else from my PC, the software worked. In this case, it was LG Flash Tool 2014, but I couldn't get any of them to work before.
Try running LGUP as Admin!!! For me it worked!

Hope someone can help me. I flashed a rom for a d855, d855g30 I think, and although I can access download mode all aps for flashing fail saying it's the wrong model number. Even the generic DLL file cant trick it. It still starts booting the rom but boot loops before entering. I no longer have twrp and when I try to do safe mode or factory reset I get a boot validation error or something similar. Just seem to be stuck. Im using a VS985.
One cause of LGUP "UNKNOWN"
While an old thread, it'll be found in searches. For anybody who gets "UNKNOWN" device with LGUP for the LG G3, I found that LGUP for the G3 is often distributed with the wrong DLL file. See the details here, post #11. After installing LGUP, make sure that the "model" subdirectory in the LGUP program directory is the same number as the processor in your phone, in my case c:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8974 (was 8994 with the "LGUP for G3" I downloaded).

Hi everyone
I having this problem with my lg g3 d855 ... My phone was at 5% then i wanted to remove kingroot because i wanted to flash super su. After uninstalling kingroot (in the app) the app crashed ant after few seconds my phone turned off... i was thinking my phones battery just died, but i was wrong. My phone wont turn on now :/... Only response i get from it then i plug it in the charger without battery (it show no battery error)... then i put battery in, screen goes blank.
And also i installed twrp using app from store (Forgot the name, but for d855 model)
*LG G3 D855 Android 6.0 official* (if needed.)
i tried:
holding power button for 15sec without battery and then charging it... Didn't work :/.
Putting another battery (Galaxy s3... Charged to 30% at least. I don't have another lg battery ), same result.
New battery also doesn't do anything...

I was in the middle of unbrick my g3 from hard brick to soft brick. I flash firmware using lg up at 99% then the phone died as it tried to reboot. It won't boot at all. As you said when remove the battery and connect charger, i can see my motherboard working with exclamation mark. As soon as i put the battery, motherboard out and no sign of life. Is this sign of bad battery or what. I don't have spared battery
I recommend first, to users with similar problems, to try first my guide in following link and after the pins in motherboard-tot files

I have D858HK hard bricked for 2 month and i use v10d to flash every partition. Then it won't boot into recovery. When i use v985 .tot, it successfully boot into recovery. Also on LG Smart Board diagnostic, my model not detected. Even if i manually select, nothing happen when it reboot. Right now, i have no idea whats wrong as i spent countless of hour on google and XDA.

I already follow your guide. The thing is, my device not detected on LG Smart Board Diagnostic. When i manually select my device, everything ok then it boot with blank screen with red and blue led. I can't even enter download mode. I use win 10 64bit with all driver installed and disable integrity checks and everything
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

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:

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.
