The phone is showing black screen after i flashed exitrecovery.zip file since i got stuck into a recovery bootloop and right after when i pressed reboot button in twrp phone died. Have i got the phone hard bricked?? :crying:
What i have tried so far is pressing various keys combination and nothing is happening, tried to get into download mode but right after putting the usb cable connected with pc into phone it gives a notification sound but doesn't shows anything on phone screen :crying:
I also tried to flash the stock rom with lg flash tool 2014 with kdz file but it reaches to a point in the beginning and it gives an error message that the "phone isnt connected pull out the cable and retry" and after pressing retry few times it gets stuck at 60%
Please help, is there a way to get out of this :crying:
When something similar happened to my Galaxy S4, I charged it to 100% first. Then I tried flashing the stock image back to it twice. The first time did not seem as if it completed. Second time was the charm. I know the phones are different but the symptoms are identical.

Problem SOLVED!
Thank you all!
Hi ClarkOwen, would you care to share what happened and how to solve it? My Optimus G won't boot with red flashing led.
What rom are you using?
I tried to boot into safemode by turning on with power button + volume down button and holding it till it boot up then I uninstalled framework and gravity box as i think they are preventing my phone to boot up and then I rebooted my phone and it worked
What exactly did you do with your phone? What caused it not to boot up anymore?
There are senarios where you do get to restoer your phone using kdz but then it still wont boot up with red led blinking which basically means the battery needs to be hardware reset - taken out of the phone which would require you to open up your phone which is difficult. Thats why I need to know first what happened which prevents your phone to boot up.

Thanks for your reply. I run stock ROM and was preparing for flashing with CM11. I installed ROM Manager and updated my clockmodwork recovery. Then I boot to recovery when this disaster began. The phone just wont boot.
I followed the instruction found in this forum to unbrick using kdz updater and LGNPST and yes I needed to disconnect the battery first. Open up the battery cover was difficult but I managed to to it. After numerous attempts I managed to complete the step for both kdz updater and LGNPST but that still wouldn't boot the phone. Not even into recovery. I could get to the download mode though.
The last successful attempt with KDZ updater (successful means completed steps) has caused my phone totally dead. Now it won't respond in anyway. No flashing led, nothing. I suspect the battery could be dead.
Is it true that we can't charge the battery when the phone is (soft)-bricked?
Anyone knows how to charge LG Optimus G battery in the case of emergency? Ie. not through the phone? I read post about charging using stripped-out USB cable but I don't know where is the +/- of the battery.
Recently, when trying to flash a CM rom on my Epic4gTouch, something went wrong and I now have the 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.' error. Knowing how to fix this, I open up Odin and attempt to flash a stock samsung rom for the phone. I hit start and things seem to be going well. Both progress bar on Odin and on the phone started to progress. Then all of a sudden my phone rebooted! I got the 'removed' message in Odin and the flash failed. It rebooted right back to the same screen as before and now every time I plug the phone in it restarts after around 5 seconds. This makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE to fix my problem!
Yes, I have tried removing the battery for hours and trying again, I have tried different USB ports, two different USB cables, restarted my computer, reinstalled Samsung drivers and nothing works!
I appreciate any help at all! Thanks!!!
EDIT: When holding power and volume down, I get in the upper left corner in red letters: Low battery!! Can not download!! (Even after having it plugged into the wall for around an hour)
I flashed the stock firmware onto my phone, and all was going well until it turned itself off. It then rebooted into Download Mode, and got itself stuck on 'Firmware Update'. I pulled the battery, rebooted and it went from the LG logo straight to the Firmware Update screen. I've tried going into recovery (which works, but pressing yes OR no still takes it to Firmware update. Going into download mode doesn't work either.
I tried to re-flash it using the LGFlashTool, but my PC can't find the phone in this state. I bought it off a guy on eBay 4 months ago, and it worked fine until the first sentence of this post happened.
EDIT: it's the international D855. The Firmware Update screen says '910K B0 QEM'

Thats not actually right
Booting into recovery normally should factory reset the phone. Would you be able to post a picture of the firmware update screen

I tried it then. When I do it, I get the normal 'No (Exit)' and 'Yes' and then the same thing to confirm it. It then goes to the LG logo, and boom! Firmware Update!
I don't have a camera (stupid, I know) but, if you boot into download mode, it looks just like the screen there. Except it shows '910K B(0-99) QEM' in the update box thingo.
Hi, i have the exactly same problem, even if i try to power up the device normally or in download more it goes directly in to firmware update. Any way to fix it or install LGE MTP Driver so my PC will see my phone in order to flash it again?

I have run into the same problem like you guys. I recently updated my phone and it started to malfunction with resets, crashing and eventually got it stuck in boot loop. Then it booted into a green screen that said "demigod crash handler/tz crash" thrice. Instead of a hard reset I decided to using the lg mobile support tool to fix it. During the upgrade recovery my phone went into download mode/firmware update. I could see the progress bar moving and then get stuck and my mobile would switch off. Took out the battery, disconnected and reconnected the phone and tried the process all over again but in vain. I repeated this at least 8 times and eventually gave up. Now my phone is basically useless and only boots into firmware update. Hard reset doesn't work either. Can somebody please help me fix this?
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM :crying:
910k b0 qem
I tried to flash TOT file and it kept failing around 10%. I read somewhere that I should select the "Flash Board" option so I did. This also failed and left my phone booting to "Firmware Update" screen with following text in the gray box at the bottom.
910K B0 QEM
Windows no longer recognizes the devices and fails to install drivers.
I believe that what is required here is the "910K resistor flash cable"
Something like this ebay[dot]com/itm/OCTOPUS-Z3X-MICRO-USB-LG-P970-P990-P999-CABLE-56K-130K-910K-VARIABLE-RESISTOR-/131321398015
Can someone confirm or offer a solution?
P.S. This 10 post URL limit has got to go!

It is possible you flashed the wrong KDZ or TOT file
You can also try to hold the power button and wait untill the LG logo appears
anyone have any luck? Im stuck in this mode also
Hello
I am new to working on these phones so I apologize in advance if I don't properly state any processes or terms correctly.
I have a stock non modded Verizon LGG3 VS985 that experienced problems with WiFi and Bluetooth not working and significant battery drain. This happened right after a recent update to marshmallow. I tried cache clearing, safe mode, hard reset and nothing solved the problem. I decided I wanted to take the phone back to factory condition. I started with the LG flash tool that uses the .tot and a .dll. I ran the flash and when the program got to approx. 80%(at checking mini os phase of the flash) the phone began to reboot and only got as far as the LG logo and after about 2 min of the phone trying to reboot the flash program said fail, usb connect or something like that. At this point the phone will only start and go into a loop that includes the vibrate and the LG logo. and that will cycle until I believe the battery would die if allowed. I then found a link here at XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140) that uses the KDZ method, was well written and easy to follow. I ran it on the phone and it was going great. The flash program got to 88% and the phone went into the boot loop with the vib and LG logo . The flash program continued to run until it was complete while the phone was in the boot loop and it got to 100% and said that the software installed. I powered down the phone via battery removal and now when it tries to boot it vibes, shows the lg log and then the green android symbol shows for about 2 seconds and then it does it all over again. I have tried a hard reset and nothing changes. I appreciate any ideas any of you may have on what I can try to get this resolved. Thank you.

Not sure I understand the question completely, but I did place the phone in download mode as per the method you mention prior to both attempting the KDZ method and the TOT method of going back to stock.
Hi everyone,
First to begin, sorry for my frenglish.
My lovely G3 seems to be bricked since few days.
5 days ago, after a reboot, it stucked 30 sec on the moving LG logo screen and turned off. I tried to enter into TWRP, I had the TWRP menu but it suddenly shut off again. My battery was getting old , so I bought a new one ( a Polarcell).
Now I can't even get TWRP. When I switch on, I have sometimes LG logo five sec, sometimes just a black screen.
If I connect on USB, the device is not recognised (error 43).
If I try the download mode, I have the first screen with "download" written in very small and after a few seconds: black screen and device not recognised.
I installed LG drivers, Qualcomm driver... nothing much...
I'm kind of desperate, can't affort to buy a new mobile phone.
If someone has any advice... many thanks
Fred
I entered again into TWRP... but maybe 10 secondes after the screen shut off....

Same thing happened to me, remove your battery wait 5 minutes, try again, it will last longer, also could you try flashing your latest stock rom with LGUP and report back? Mine doesn't bootloop only on latest stock.
Thanks, but the G3 was without battery during 2 hours.... I wonder how I will be able to flash anything :-/

You can try unbricking like this. Try to enter to bootloader mode without dealing with shorting the pins first, if you can make it enter into bootloader mode, you don't need to the short pins.
Thanks for the link, I had already read that but it's not very very clear. By te way, I think I 'll have to do the short pin because my G3 is not recognised as a Qualcomm, and USB keeps connecting disconnecting whend the screen is black.
