Think I finally mucked up my phone

All,
I flashed JellyBelly last night, flash the JB bootloader, then the ROM etc...everything was working fine, restored apps via titanium etc...my phone was up and running in JellyBean. I was playing around with it, then notice some apps wasn't starting, media(music) wasn't being scanned so I attempted to reboot into recovery and fix permissions thinking that will fix my problem. Anyways, I rebooted, and was stuck in the Google screen. I took the battery out, got into recovery and tried to dirty flash the rom, it failed. I tried to restore from nandroid i did, and it also failed.
Now all I can get into is to recovery. Seems like everything I tried whether its nandroid or the jellybelly rom, it would fail. Is my SD corrupt? I did attempt to restore from Liquid 1.5, that went through, but when it tried to reboot, it would fail and reboot again and again.
Is my phone dead? What are my options?
Please help!
Thanks!

you are far from dead, as of now. How long did you let it sit? I've done some ROMs where it sat at the Google splash for 5 minutes before it started to boot. I would get the Kies, go into download mode and start from the beginning. That will put it back to how it was straight from the factory (minus the locked bootloader).

I am not familiar with Kies...can you explain a bit?
I googled a bit and found this link for GNex ToolKit V7.4, could this be an option to unbrick my phone?

This is a Nexus. We don't use Kies or Odin...
OP, fastboot flash the stock images. Don't use toolkits. If you can get into recovery then you will be able to restore back to stock 100%.

Actually, I am very new to the GNex so I am still figuring out where everything is. Since it's a Nexus device, it may not have a Kies, I just automatically think Kies when I think of any Samsung phone. Somebody will come along that is much more familiar with the GNex than I am and point you in the right direction.

Yeah, you beat me to it.

Thanks all!! I FINALLY got my phone back. I used the WUG Nexus Root Toolkit. THANK GOD FOR THAT!! Was painless to bring my phone back to stock.
Now I'm going to reflash JellyBelly Again!!

D852 - stuck in download mode after failed return to stock

FIXED. Just had to try over and over until it went to 100%. Seems like its just random errors that prevent it from finishing so nothing but chance really!

I was on Lollipop 5.0.1, rooted with twrp. I wanted to return back to stock. I tried factory reset but it wouldnt work properly. Someone on xda suggested I use the TOT/KDZ method to return to stock. Both methods failed and I am stuck in DOWNLOAD mode. I tried getting back to TWRP and it goes to DOWNLOAD mode instead.
I did make a back up before this happened but I cant get back to TWRP. I used the guide here on XDA to return to stock. Please, I hope I didnt brick my G3. Im freaking out right now with no cellphone right now working.
Im desperate guys. The person/post that saves my day, I will send you a small paypal donation as a sign of thanks!

Are you sure you did the TOT/KDZ method correctly? Because if you did it should overwrite all partitions and it should go back to normal
Download the D852 KDZ from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-Lg+G3-Tutti-41.html and then flash it with LG Flashtool. Since your having problems its best if you use CSE flash since it will wipe everything and start new

I fixed it finally!

After successful (?) upgrade to MM, can't boot past Verizon screen.

I was on 13B rooted, then flashed the stock system to return to unroot status. Everything worked fine. Plugged into computer and Verizon Upgrade Assistant suggested upgrade to 13C, so I bit. After a 4 hour (!) download of a 2 Gb file, the upgrade install proceeded without incident, and resulted in a successful completion according to the Assistant. Phone started booting and the Upgrade Assistant re-read the phone as being on 13C, but, the phone stalls and refuses to boot past the Verizon red splash screen. I have pulled battery and tried numerous times to boot, with no luck. It just sticks at the same spot.
Any suggestions? I'm nervous about re-flashing 13 B for fear of bricking it, so perhaps flash 13C kdz?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have now tried flashing the 13C kdz unsuccessfully a number of times. I verified the checksum on the downloaded kdz file, and attempted to flash it on three separate computers where I had successfully flashed the G4 in the past. Each time that I tried flashing the 13C it reads: "Required Information cannot be found. Contact the system administrator."
I am still stuck here. Even in the flash tool, the phone is read as having 13C on it, but it still will not boot past the Verizon splash screen. Any thoughts on whether I should dare try flashing 13B, or would I end up with even more of a brick then I have now?
Thanks again.

DO NOT FLASH 13B!
Isn't Android 6 24c?
I got stuck on the Verizon screen, but a wipe fixed it at that point.

Thanks, and you are correct on the number, MM is 24C.
May I ask, how were you able to wipe when stuck on the Verizon splash screen? I would love to do that if possible.
Thanks again.

Hold volume down and power on if I remember correctly to put the phone in recovery mode. From there you can choose to do a wipe/factory reset.
I had issues with way long boot times, the wipe fixed that, but then apps kept FC. I ended up downloading the KDZ file and used the flash tool to reflash 24C. Everything is stellar now.

Thank you so much, mikeewhite! I followed your instructions and they worked perfectly, so I am back up and running. You are the reason that I love this list so much, as there are so many people like you generous with their time and advice.

att g3 stuck in factory restore stage 2 (not sure if this goes here sorry)

I tried restoring back to factory after being stuck in a boot loop, thinking my root was the issue or something idk. I used flash tool to try and flash back to stock and fac reset and it gets to the end where MiniOS tries to do its thing but i get no promts and it just says factory reset status 2. its driving me insane trying to get this thing flashed back to stock. i dunno if im missing anything or something but im foloowing the steps like to the letter and it keeps bricking. any help or advice here that could help me out? and sorry if this doesnt go here and stuff. im new to the forums and all that.

Hi,
I had the same problem yesterday. Even worse after that factory reset status 2 my phone couldn't be detected anymore by flashtool 1.8. So I tried the kdz method. This worked for me and from stock I was able to use one click root and flash twrp with flashify. Then I went straight to android 8.1 with magisk root. Don't forget to flash mr bump after root without any reboot in between.

yeah i ended up getting it out of status 2 and tried to run stock for a bit but ended up having issues where it would just randomly shut itself off. and then boot loops. switched out like 3 different batteries, (1 that came with the phone, a not so great quality 6000mAh, and a new stock lg battery) and still having boot loop issues. so im thinking that the phone is just dead. so with tax season coming up soon i may just wait and get that new sexy razer phone. i need something new anyway and better than this walmart zte placeholder im using. lol

[Q] LG G4 H811 Stuck in Recovery (TWRP) Loop

I was running the latest version of TWRP and a rooted version of the LG G6 port. Everything was stable and worked fine. So I was ready to give it back to its owner who I had modded it for. I went into the settings menu of the phone and did a standard factory reset to remove my account that was logged in so I could test the phone out before giving it to the owner. well when it finished resetting and rebooted, its been stuck in a boot loop ever since.
Tried just clearing both Dalvik Cache and Cache, to no avail. Tried Reflashing the rom and starting over. Still nothing. Tried flashing a different rom. Still nothing.
So what else can I try? and also if its the only thing I can do, rest it all the way back to stock factory everything. How do I do that on this phone. What program do I need and what files. and whats the steps to complete the process.
Thank you in advance for all help that is given

i factory reset in twrp and turned on developers options after first boot then reflashed twrp i always forget backup lol or delete it or use kdz you flashed before anyway i can help i will if you still need

if you have tried to flash the same custom rom or another is still not working, flashes with the program "lg up", you will need a kdz file,and the corresponding drivers. if with that you can not watch this tutorial before doing anything.
if you have a backup made with twrp, it flashes again.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/unbrick-lg-g4-brick-hs-usb-qdloader-t3542785
during this process you will have to disassemble the back of the phone, (plastic) you do not need to remove the motherboard completely from the phone, anyway if you can enter download mode try with lg up tool.
if you need help around here we are.

Well now in the process of trying to fix it. The phone bricked and will no longer turn on at all. Is there anyway to fix this ?

Can you get into download mode?
Also, it's possible you have been hit by the bootloop
