Bricked G3 stuck at "Factory Reset Status" - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When using LG Flash Tool to flash a .tot file, everything went smooth till it boots MiniOS and Shows the blue screen "Factory Reset Status"
Now I can't seem to get beyond this level
I check that it's COM41, using the original cable, plugged to a USB 2.0 port, rebooted PC, etc, but it's stuck at "Waiting For connection when trying again".
Can anyone help me boot successfully?

When you're at the AAT mini OS screen, you need to hold down the power button and select Normal Boot.

another bricked 851

I upgraded to D85120g via the LG Mobile Support Tool but lost root. While trying to restore root access, I bricked my device. Its stuck on the opening splash screen. The power button does not appear to be active. The notification led cycles between green/blue/off.
Typing "adb reboot recovery" in a console window says, "error: device not found".
The LG Mobile Support Tool recognizes the phone and says it has Software Version: D85120G, the latest available. If I click 'Options', then 'Upgrade Recovery', it goes through the steps of verifying windows, downloading 1226.54 MBytes, software extraction, and S/W Upgrade. But it only gets 4% through the upgrade and then says, "Upgrade stopped due to an error."
Powering up the phone while pressing the volume down, releasing when the splash first shows, then holding the power button again brings up the Factory data reset. I tell it yes to erase all user data & restore default settings, then yes to start. It immediately goes to the splash screen, then then android robot appears and says erasing for about 1 second, then the splash screen again. That's the last it does.
The phone shows up as a serial port but the drive letter it was mapped to has a yellow triangle "!" in device manager and says device can't start.
Can I get my phone to work again?
Got it working!
The trick was to manually set the phone into download mode by holding the volume up with the power off, then connecting to the usb cable. Once in download mode, I started LG Mobile Support Tool, clicked Options, then Install Recovery. It went through the complete process. I lost all my data but saved the phone!
Now I need root back.

I hope it's not bricked; Secure booting Error!

I hope I didn't just brick my tablet...
I got it rooted just fine. Then I was trying to install a custom recovery when I got this error:
Code:
-----------------------------------------
Secure booting Error!
Cause : boot certification verify
-----------------------------------------
Every time this error is shown, the tablet freezes and I have to hold the power buttom for about 10 seconds for it to shut off.
If I try a normal boot, I get an LG logo and the error.
If I plug in the USB cable, I get a battery loading icon and the error. Not recognized on PC.
If I hold Vol- and Pwr, it will give me 4 options:
1) Continue reboot
2) Factory data reset
3) Wipe Cache
4) Safe mode boot
Option 1: Shows error.
Option 2: Give me 2 options: No (Exit) returns me to the previous 4 options. Yes produces the error.
Option 3: Shows a screwdriver and wrench icon, and says "ModeBackup & Restore Loading..." and produces the error.
Option 4: Shows error.
If I hold Vol+ and Vol- and plug in the USB cable to try download mode, I get a battery loading icon and the error. Not recognized on PC.
Any ideas what I could do?
I got into download mode. The button combo was Vol+ and Pwr.
Now I'm having problems with the LG Mobile Support Tool. When I try "Upgrade recovery" it gets stuck at "Downloading software..."
It starts downloading fast, but after it gets about 30% or so, the download speed drops to nil. My internet is stable and fast. According to NetBalancer, the LG tool starts downloading at a steady 3mb/s, and then drops to short bursts of 50-150kb/sec. I'm not having any connectivity issues with other programs.
I let it keep going earlier today for almost 4 hours. It got to about 60% and then the tool crashed.
What can I do?

Verizon VK700 10.1

LG Pad Verizon 10.1 VK700
My tablet was stuck in upgrading firmware mode whenever I booted it up. Used LG tool to flash stock firmware, and it would hang at 28%.
Went into recovery mode and clicked wipe cache, and when I rebooted it now says
boot certification verify and the top left with the LG logo and it hangs here.
Can no longer enter download mode to reflash.
Recovery mode still works, but none of the options work
*Wipe cache (top of screen will say boot certification verify and hang)
*Restore factory defaults (will hang at Restoring Factory Settings)
*Safe mode (reboots to boot certification verify and LG logo)
Figured I could try to use SRK tools, but nothing comes up in my Device manager when I plug it in anymore (not even qhsusb_bulk)
When I power it off and on with usb plugged in, windows will occasionally make the new device detected sound, but then make the device disconnected sound about a second later, so nothing will appear in device manager.
Does anybody have any suggestions or any way I can get this thing running again? Or anyway I can get my computer to even recongnize it as qhsusb_bulk so I can use SRK tools?

First remove your battery then insert battery dont power on mobile . holding the volume up, plug in a microUSB cable into your phone.
Make sure the USB side is already plugged into the computer
You should start to see "Download Mode" for a few seconds and then it will show "Firmware Update". You are now in Download Mode!
Open LG Flash Tool and Put your dll and tot files in and use Board DL (Very Important)
after u success
It should boot into MiniOS just hit ok. Push power button plus touch the screen where it says Normal boot+(power)
done
This is not working for me. it says waiting for connection, please help
i am frustrated !!!

Try unplugging and plugging back in and ensure you are on PORT41 for the device driver. After you do that and in Download Mode, then unplug and replug USB.
Also do not use USB 3 and try another port if you still have issues.

I have same issue in my LG G3 D850 I have apply your procedure Thanks It works ... first time the setup screen completes but when i powered off mobile and insert the sim and then powered on its again going to miniOs again i Normal boot+(power) but now boot looping auto ... what can i do now ???
For me who had the same issue, I just rebooted the device back into download mode and the LG flashtool resumed automatically. (I did not close or stop the process from the LG flashtool when I got this message).
Once the process resumed automatically, I still got download fail.
I can see whenever the device reboots, the modem disappears from within device manager after getting to the "Factory Reset 2" screen.
Any advice?
Update: I tried about 7 times to get it flashed. I ended up just restarting the phone in normal mode and strangely voila it works perfectly. Even though the software said the flash failed, it still worked. Thanks anyway!

Bricked my LGG3

Hello everyone,
so here's my problem:
Wednesday morning i took my phone out of my pocket and had a blackscreen. I tried to restart it and took out the batterie but i always got stuck in the LG Logo or a bootloop. Since i had TWRP and lineage OS installed, i tried to go into the twrp menu with the factory mode (power button + volume down) but after the "double yes" i always got a blackscreen.
So i went into the internet to fix it myself. I tried the "LG Flash Tool 2014" with the kdz. reset & the other Flash tool with the tot. reset. Both didnt recognize my phone. At this point, the only thing that worked was the download mode BUT not the recovery mode that usually comes after it. It just showed the download mode for some seconds and then a black screen. Later i noticed that my phone showed as a "qualcomm device" in the device manager, and the internet said that this was bad. So i used "Board diag" and "Smart boot diag" to fix it, but at the point where the device should have restarted, and the download mode should have worked WITH the recovery mode, i always ONLY had the 6 second download mode. After messing a bit with "Board Diag" i even got it to show up as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port in the device manager, which apparently was even more bad and only way to go back to qualcomm was to shorten the pins which i did. And it worked BUT now i was back with the qualcomm stuff.
So as you can see, i've prety much run i circles since wednesday... Iam now at a point where 3 different thingscan happen when I try to put my LG into download mode (volume up + usb cable):
1. Its recognized as a unknown device which is constantly connecting and diconnecting, so iam assuming my phone is bootlooping with a black screen.
2. The download mode icon shows on my phone and disappears after some seconds but my pc fails to recognize it.
3. Nothing happens and the screen stays black
When i only connect the usb cable, it shows a stuck charging icon for some seconds and then goes black. Connecting without a battery shows the "missing battery icon". I tried with 2 pc's, both having the LG mobile driver 4.2 and the qualcomm driver installed AND beeing in testmode. Both don't recognize the device. I also tried 2 batteries on my phone but it changes nothing.
I have a D855. And i know that my situation is pretty f*cked but maybe someone i able to help me anyway. Thanks alot.
