I was trying to put TWRP on my G3 (D855) but it failed for some reason but the stock recovery was deleted. So there was no recovery in phone. I gave it to a friend to try putting TWRP in it, he also failed and somehow corrupted the partition. He said the phone is completely bricked now and is not even turning on.
Any suggestions what I should do?
Too few details provided.
Can you enter download mode?

How? Which tools to use?
Its neither turning on, also no LED light when I put in the charging cable with adapter. When I plug it into laptop USB, it shows "LG Android USB Device" in Device Manager - with yellow exclamation mark. Please help.

I noticed one thing. Even though on the cover it says D855, but when I opened the phone, on the mother board I saw D851. What does this mean?
The motherboard should be right, its tmobile. Did you have fm radio on it? If not then tmobile for sure

I am trying to go to download mode with my G3 ( mobile is working fine ) but when I press and hold Volume up and connect USB cable to PC, the phone turns on and boots normally.
I noticed even in normal situation if I turn off my mobile and try charging while it's off, it turns on automatically!
Any comments how I can go to download mode?
I have lost the original USB cable coming with the device. Can it be the reason? Is LG G3 usb cable special?

I use a diferent cable from the original and dont have that problem, can you try a diferent usb 2.0 port?
Is your G3 stock or does it have a custom recovery?

owh sorry I thought he said that he connected the usb and then pressed vol up :/
It's so weird to me. This is my first mobile phone with such a problem. I've tried all possibilities. USB 2.0, different cable, different pc, different OS. All I get is a restart when I hold down the up key and connect the cable! I have bought this D855 from Hong Kong and it's on rooted stock 10b and all I get from my 4G sim is E (EDGE) while I have activated lte in mobile network menu. So, trying another official rom is critical to me.

It's on stock as without download mode, I can't flash any rom or recovery.
It's more weird when even ADB can't send phone to Download mode. When I enter "adb reboot download", mobile is only rebooted.
By the way, I wonder if it's also so for you that when phone is off, if you connect charger, device is turned on! I remember when I had Samsung, when mobile was off and I connected charger, a battery icon showing the charge progress appeared only.

I asked about what recovery you had.. cous I had a similar problem with my samsung s3.. when phone off and conect cable the phone starts up. That depended on some bad recovery. Also on my old Htc desirehd things like that happened. But i dont have any deep knowleage about this..
Have you tried to use Lg's official update tool. Under that app you could update phone after a bad update. (Via the menu in app) It would be my next try.. that resets the whole phone but it could be the cure. Take a backup of the internal sd first.

Are you referring to this tool? http://www.lgtool.net/site/download.html I downloaded this and when I run it, it asks for a missing smartcard!!
If not, please offer me a link to your mentioned tool.

No.. Go to the lg website. Go to support and navigate to lg pc sync app. Dl that app.. About 200 mb.
Install and look for the earlier mentioned option.

So today I tried flashing android 5.0 on my T-mobile LG G3 D851. I put it into download mode, started the flash and waited. My LG flash tool then crashed and closed. My phone was %6 through the installation however and was just left frozen after it crashed. I tried every way possible to restart it and get out of the screen while keeping it plugged in, but I couldn't...so I took out the battery and put it back in. Now nothing is turning on, I can't put it in download mode and the charging LED doesn't light up, etc. It's completely bricked....what do I do? I've already tried taking out the battery and waiting and plugging in the cord and then battery. Please help! I can't afford the insurance or another phone...
EDIT: Also the battery does have charge...although I don't know how long it will last.
EDIT 2: I just realized this flash was for the 855 variant..not 851. Does this mean that I am just screwed?
It means that you got expensive brick.
You cant enter into download mode or recovery?
Probably only help is jtag. Find someone who can do that.
Sounds like someone has learned a very expensive lesson! Have you tried to factory reset it?
Yeah JTAG is all you got if no download mode

The linked solution works only if the device shows some signs of life - atleast a boot logo.
i have a D851 that a friend bricked. She tried upgrading to Lollipop and flashed the AT&T baseband on this TMobile version. The result is a hard bricked device which does not even seem to power on. Shows no signs of life, except when connected to a windows pc. It shows up as 'LG Androidnet USB modem' in the device manager. No boot logo, recovery, or download mode. Fortunately she has IMEI and twrp backups for this phone (boot, efs1, efs2, radio, rpm, tz). I did some research on JTag solutions. Unfortunately, none of the boxes support the D851, yet.
Any ideas on how to recover this device would be greatly appreciated.

I flashed Fulmic rom for my G3 D855 today. Everything was well when I discovered until I discovered, that camera app is not showing. The fix was to download the fix from Fulmics app and flash it via TWRP. I downloaded the fix and rebooted to install the fix. After reboot I got stuck in bootloop, when I try to access recovery, it goes to TWRP first logo and stays there. Nothing happens. When I try to access download mode, it shows the first download mode logo and stays there. Computer detects the phone in device manager as "LGE Android MTP Device". LGUP shows model as "Unknown". Cant do nothing more. Every help is appreciated.
Are you sure you flashed the fix ? Because it seems like you flashed something else that messed up your device

I downloaded the fix, then tried to install it via twrp. But twrp didn't start. So I ran AutoRec again to reinstall TWRP which seemed to go well. Forgot to mention this on first post. After reinstalling TWRP the problems occurred.

Can't enter twrp, just shows TEAMWIN logo with blue background and stripes. Nothing more happens.
Download mode text shows up, pc makes connection sound but I dont know what to do after that. I tried using LGUP but that showed that model is "Unknown".
Ah, try lg flash tool 2014 or lg flashtool (and a tot file), find a thread by hyelton (lg g3 get back to stock), this will help you

I have tried this method also. Every time at 4% it says, error, remove battery and then reconnect and turn on phone. After that, connection with pc is lost.
Also, when I try to get to Download Mode, it should go then to Firmware update screen to? Am I right about that? If so, then it doesn't go to Firmware update screen.
But I tried it with a kdz I had in my computer and had used before. Downloading .tot file atm.

I've got a LG G3 D855 (international)
So I tried putting TWRP on my phone as a recovery but I must have done something wrong.
My phone isn't booting at all. It's not even responding to putting a usb cable in. Only if I connect it to a usb cable without battery it shows the logo that I don't have a battery inserted.
Did I completely destroy my phone?

Hi to all,
yesterday I attempted to install LineageOS on my LG G4 h815.
I followed this tutorial -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003
Everything went fine. I was able to boot under LineageOS reinstall my apps etc, etc.
This morning when I woke up everything seemed normal too. But, few minutes ago, I sent an SMS via Google Messages the phone froze and then black screen.
When it froze I had 97% battery.
Ï tried to reboot it with power button -> Nothing.
I tried to remove the battery put it back on and pressed the power button -> One tiny vibration but nothing
I tried several times the same last process and finally I managed to get the screen with "Bootloader state : Unlocked !", but I cannot go further.
If I connect the phone with a USB cable, wether he's "turned on" or turned off no led is blinking.
Does someone have a clue to fix this or has ever encountered this issue ?
Tanks in advance and do not hesitate to refer to an old post. I wil check (but found no same case).

Just to perfectly understand.
Are you advising me to flash my recovery with an older version via my laptop (I imagine via adb/fastboot) despite I can't even get my LG be recognized by my laptop ?
Will the adb/fastboot command be functional as the LG seems not to be recognized on the PC?

The best way to get your laptop I recognize your phone is to get LG up running then with the usb plugged n drop the battery out then put battery back in then close off LG up.
Then start it again and when it go's into download mode the pull usb and close off LG up Then plug it back in with dos prompt open............

LG UP had no effect on the phone.
However, now the phone seems to have 0% battery and when I try to boot it I get the graphics to plug the phone on a source of energy. Once I do that the front led is blinking in orange (I guess because I had less than 1 or 2% o battery) and now the front led is still lit on in orange. Is this a good news or I'm hoping for nothing.
Anyway tomorrow I will try to get it back to my retailer.
Does anyone succedeed to get it replaced by LG even if the bootloader is unlocked ?
Thanks.
After a little journey to the repair shop of my retailer everything seems to work correctly, for the moment, with LineageOS !
Thanks everyone for your help !
