Weird and unusual issue with my lg g3 and I can't seem to find a solution? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
So basically the problems i'm facing is, I turn on the phone and it i'm greeted with the lg logo for a while then it stays on the logo. I notice the led light changing colours but it's still on the lg logo. Few minutes after that it restarts on it's own and goes in the same kind of loop.
What I have tried:
Used the flash tool with tot and the dll file to reflash the phone, but all what ends up happening is it will keep restarting.
Tried entering recovery mode using the volume down and power button but it never goes in, it's as if it has no recovery. The only thing that works is download mode.
So any ideas? the phone to me seems like it's booting and the led notification lights are flashing but it's just stuck on the lg logo.
Thanks.

Are you sure it is download mode? Not fastboot?
If it is fastboot follow the guide in my signature - and welcome to the club

I'm 100% sure it's in download mode as when I enter download mode it literally says "download mode" then the actual download mode screen comes up with the port that I am connected using and so on, so any ideas?

How does your PC recognize your phone if you plug it in?
Maybe you should (re)install latest LG Drivers and try again with flashtool. Which Flashtool do you use?
In my case of brick there was no Download-Mode anymore, just entered it and then after a few seconds a black screen with fastboot mode - so it looked like download mode but it wasnt, but i also didnt have flashing leds.

[Q] HELP! Lost download mode! LG E970

Hello, So i tryed to flash to CM10 rom for LG E970 and my screen went black after reboot. So then I tried t go back to stock with LGNPST and it would get to the logo and stop. So then (lol) I tried using a teenybin instead and now I can't get download mode to show up and all the screen will do it show a gray battery with a lighting bolt and sometimes when trying to power on or get to download mode it'll act like it's about to do something and shows a black screen with google in grey and an unlocked lock at the bottom of the screen. Help is all lost or can i fix this??

Use the KDZ Updater with the latest firmware version of your phone...
First, download and install the latest lg driver. (your phone must be unplugged when installing)
Second, download the LG E970 kdz.
Third, "google" and install the kdz updater.
Fourth, put your phone in "Download mode" by pressing both volume keys and plug into usb port (wait 2-3 seconds, your computer will load the driver)
Fifth, open the kdz updater and select "3GQCT" in type...and "CS_Emergency" in phone mode. Then browse & select the kdz you've just downloaded...and press the Launch button. It should take about 8-10 minutes to complete...your phone will reboot around param.94 then you can unplugged it and let it boot normally.
Finally, make a "factory reset" to erase all previous data and plug your phone to wall charger to gave him some fresh blood.
Give us some feedback & good luck :good:

Try to get in donwload mode pushing together volume+ and volume- and then plug in the usb cable (to your pc) do not release the buttons until you see the download mode logo on the screen. The phone has to be off before doing the procedure if it wont turn off , push the power button for something like 15 sec, should go off that way
Good luck and in the event that you can't go in download mode anymore , take it to assistance. It's the only way.

[Q] [HELP] No OS, No Recovery Mode, No download mode?

So basically I screwed up really badly, and wiped absolutely everything on my S3 while half awake. All I get is stuck on the boot logo. When I try and boot into recovery, it says its trying to boot but just locks on the samsung logo, and when I try and use download mode it flashes the screen with the warning about installing custom OS on it, then gets locked on the samsung logo. Am I totally screwed here? Sorry if this has been asked before, I've been looking through about 30+ tabs on chrome right now for any sort of solution.
When you see the warning message in download mode, do you press the volume up key to get iinto download mode?

EDIT: IT BOOTED! I dont know how i got through it not doing anything, but ODIN worked! thanks for trying to help buddy

Try to take out the battery. After put it back and press the volume up and plug in a the lg micro USB to your phone but before doing that be sure it is plug in to your computer and wait until you see the download mode. I forgot the video link but just search up unbrick,unroot lg g3 on YouTube and search for the video that you see a lg g3 with a blue screen and a number 3 in the middle. After you find the video use it to guide your self to repair your lg g3. Hopes it helps please message me back if you do it and if you what I can help if it doesn't help.

H815 Soft bricked(?) adb shows device offline

Soo.... I messed up and edited the build.prop specificly the ro.build.type property. I tried to enable some debug options without validating if this would be a good idea (hint: it's not).
It seems that this has bricked my phone, the first LG splash screen shows up with the powered by android, and the second animation just keeps loading forever (making the phone very hot). And the LED flashes blue continously.
I did manage to get the device visible in ADB but it tells me that the device is offline so I can't do anything with it.
Tried booting in recovery mode (holding power button + volume down) but it just own't go into recovery mode.
Some extra info of what runs on my phone:
- version H815
- Android 6.0
- bootloader unlocked
- TWRP installed
- Rooted
- XPosed installed
Any idea on what I could try to fix it? (I guess stuck with a brick but oh well).
Thanks!
What do you mean, by it can't go into recovery mode?
Nothing is showing on screen?
Go to downlod mode either use lgup or lg flashtool to reflash the firmware that you are on... Do u remember which firmware you were on ?
Thanks for the replies!

I meant that it just boots 'normally' when I press those buttons, it shows me the first LG logo and the second animation just hangs, whatever I do. I tried all sorts of combinations with the power button + volume down. (Keeping it pressed, briefly letting it go after the lg logo and repressing them).

I don't know exactly which firmware I was on but I can't even get my phone into download mode (same as my other response, pressing volume up doesn't do anything).
The recovery and download mode used to work but I have no idea why it doesn't now...
When booting the phone, hold the power button and volume down button simultaneously, when LG logo appear, push the power button again. You should see the white screen, where you choose "YES" twice. Then the phone should kick you into TWRP or different recovery mode.
But how the hell editing build.prop can mess with recovery and download mode? Sounds incredible

Maybe he has bootloop issue... ILAPO
Yeah I have no idea why the buttons aren't working for me. After a lot of searching I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/soft-bricked-device-t3248144
Which is basicly the same thing I'm experiencing, ADB comes online for just a brief second (kept spamming the reboot recovery command) and got in TWRP and I just flashed another which worked fine.
Odd thing is, even now my phone works I can't start recovery or download with the hardware buttons...... oh well, thankfully adb works as it's supposed to.
Thank you all for your help!

G4 won't go into Firmware Update mode or Factory Reset

Hi, I have an LG G4 that is boot looping, I have changed firmware in the past using LG UP and factory reset G4's before.
But when I hold volume up and plug in the usb cable, it goes to the 'download mode' screen but never reaches the firmware update screen, anyone had this problem before? This happens every time I try.
And when I try to do a factory reset by holding vol down and power and release and re pressing the power button it goes into the factory reset options, but it freezes on the last screen and won't actually start resetting.
So I can't use LG UP or LG flash tool as it won't go into firmware update mode.
Any Ideas?
Thank you.

Open "Device Manager" in windows and see if windows is not changing your device driver automatically...
I have got it to go into firmware update mode, and I used LG UP to install 5.1 firmware and used the big core disable tot, it was up and running fine, then suddenly turned off.
Now it's boot looping again and when i go to go into recovery mode, it's on the download mode screen and just goes black and turns itself off again.
Any ideas?
