Please Help - Phone is Unusable - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, my LG G3 had been rebooting a lot but the big issue started on Sunday. After a reboot I couldn't turn it on. After several tries and several different batteries, I connected it to the charger and it turned on. I backed up some stuff and used it for some hours and then again it rebooted and wouldn't turn on. After several hours, it did turn on and it worked for around 48 hs. Then it rebooted and wouldn't turn on. But then something about the kernel showed up. The thing is I found a new KDZ so I tried to flash it with LG Flash Tool 2014. But no matter what it gets to a percentage (maximum 20%) and it turns off. And now when I try to turn it on it goes to Firmware update.
So it's stuck on Firmware update but it doesn't allow me to flash the new firmware. What can I do?
Thanks in advance!

Phone only stays shows Sony Logo for a second and shut off

Hey guys.
I am having a problem with my phone (C6503) is when I boot up my phone, it will show the Sony logo for a second and shut off again. When I plug my phone into the charger, it will do this in a loop.
This all started when I flashed MIUI v5 from here (I have a locked bootloader, and it can't be unlocked): ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520793 ) and I was simply using it one time and it was suddenly shutting off on me. The phone would also would also say the battery was at 85% then shut off on me and when I turned it back on, it said it was 5%. It got worse, when I powered on my phone while the charger was in, it would boot up, and when I unplugged the charger, it would shut off. Now, when I power on the phone, it displays the Sony logo for a second, and then shuts off.
Thankfully, I can still access Flashboot and FastBoot mode on the phone when it's plugged into a computer.
At first, I thought it was my ROM that I flashed earlier, so I tried flashing a stock ROM that I came from earlier. I tried a couple of stock ROMs and it didn't work, I also tried flashing stock kernels to it, too, and no change. I'm starting to think that my phone could possibly be dying on me from a hardware prospective instead of a software prospective, and it may not be the ROM I flashed earlier, since I was able to use it earlier before this started to happen.
Any help will be thanked.
I`m having the exact same problem (it started when I flashed the same rom, btw), did you find a way to solve this?
I have this problem too... my xperia is c6504 and I can't find a stock for it, I tried everything.. need help

D855 Stuck in Bootloop-- Light Sensor and Vibration Still Work

I'm having a weird problem. Yesterday I was using my phone as I normally do-- texting, playing simple puzzle games, etc.-- when I noticed the battery was at about 2%. I wasn't very concerned so I tried to send one last text before it died. Shortly afterward it died with the usual "Powering Down" alert. I thought absolutely nothing of it and once I had access to a charger, I did what I normally do: I turn on my phone, wait for it to get past the LG splash screen, and I plug it in once it gets to the boot animation. I do this so my phone will turn on instead of going into charge only mode. Also, like usual, my phone's screen dimmed seconds after the boot animation began (I assume from my automatic light sensor settings), and I could feel it vibrating a little (also something it typically does upon boot).
However this is as far as it got. I was very confused when about an hour later, the phone still hadn't completed boot. I removed the battery, inserted it again, and tried once more telling myself that I would wait as long as I could instead of just an hour. Booting the second time gave me identical results-- everything is normal (light sensor response and vibration indicating the phone is powering on) yet it gets stuck. The only difference is that this time I got to see the entire bootloop.
After the boot animation screen has run for a while, I get the usual "Android is starting.... Optimizing app ## of ##" (#= actual numbers). Once it finishes, instead of booting my phone, it begins the boot animation again. If left alone it will cycle between the boot animation and the "Android is Starting" screen indefinitely.
TL;DR:
1. ) Caught in bootloop between boot animation screen and "Android is Starting... Optimizing app ## of ##" screen.
2. ) The screen still dims and there are little vibrations that usually tell me the phone is about to turn on.
I have tried:
- a hard reset- this yields only a slightly stronger vibration and it starts the bootloop again.
- Download mode- this does the same as the hard reset
- Removing battery for a while- no results
- Full charge to completely dead to full charge again on charge only mode- no results
I am running CM13 Nightlies from late February (not completely sure which exact date). Which I flashed without issue about a month ago. I do have Xposed and run various modules, but I was using nothing at the time and hadn't for about a month. My computer recognizes my phone as an LG G3 Device, but refuses to access any files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Phone not starting.
First remove phone battery, insert it again, do not start phone. Connect your phone to original charger and charge it, while charging with the charger start your phone. Your phone should start if yes/no report me immediately. Your phone battery is failing to start your phone (Due to Low Voltage in battery). Replace with original battery.

Alright, I removed the battery, reinserted it (without turning the phone on) plugged it into the wall charger (seeing the charge only battery animation), and attempted to turn it on. Whenever I try to turn my phone on after plugging it in, I get the LG splash screen followed by the battery charging animation. It never reaches the boot animation. I'll let it charge for a while and try again.
Thank you for the advice!
Okay, I let the phone charge completely and attempted to turn it on whilst plugged into the wall charger again. Unfortunately I had the same issue. The phone shows the LG splash screen and then the battery charging animation again-- no boot animation.

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid a full reflash/data wipe. Since I haven't messed around with any Xposed modules or root apps, I also haven't backed up anything for quite a while. No abnormal apps were running before the battery died, which leads me to believe this can be solved somehow without a full wipe.
Also, I tried to use my boyfriend's battery to boot up my phone. I thought it might be a bad battery-- as some people on-line have mentioned. Unfortunately, it still refused to boot and it produced the same bootloop.
You see , if and not and this and that dont help . te only way to save files is to get acces by recovery or boot, you cant boot but possible you have recovery so start saving your files you need. when you have or dont have your files . you stil need your system to boot for that to happen, it needs to work. so flashing a default rom with wipe sould work if it doesnt you flash original if that doesnt work its dead

I think I forgot to mention, I cannot access recovery mode. I have the latest TWRP installed, but attempting to boot into recovery gives me the same results-- endless bootanimation/ "Android is Starting" bootloop.
So no acces at all . so what do you do ? Read above! Anyway good luck

Solved
I fixed my problem. It turns out I was being an idiot and got the method of entering recovery mode on the LG G3 confused with my Samsung tablet. I should be able to fix the bootloop on my own now. Thanks everyone for your help! Cheers to idiocy.
Hey, I have the exact same issue right now. Did you solve your problem, and how? I tried removing the battery and charging with original charger to 100%. I connected it to my PC, went into Download mode and clicked "Restore Upgrade Errors" in LG PC Suite. It successfully flashed the firmware update, then it said "Android is starting.... Optimizing app ## of ##". But after that it restarted into bootlop again. Also I noticed that sometimes it vibrates, and my LED (light sensor) doesn't light up anymore.
Any advice? I haven't tried replacing the battery yet.

[Q] Bricked LG G3

Hello guys,
2 days ago my phone randomly bricked itself. It wasn't rooted or anything, everything on it was stock (I've been using it for 2 years).
Before the brick, I had the screen flickering issue, my WiFi stopped working and the sound also (this happened during a period of 2 months) - during this period my battery started draining very fast, I could use the phone for max 2 hours per day (stand-by or use, doesn't matter).
So 2 days ago I ran out of battery and left the phone to charge during the night. When I woke up, I tried to turn the phone on but at first It got stuck at the PIN insertion, and after rebooting it twice it just got stuck in a boot loop.
So what I did was follow the TOT guide and tried to flash a stock rom. All went well until I tried to do a factory reset before initial boot - I got a kernel crash and my phone is unable to enter download mode since this moment (the loading screen shows up, and once it loads the screen goes black and my phone is recognized as qualcomm. etc).
At this moment I found about BoardDiag and used the software in order to try to repair my phone. Everything works well with BoardDiag, but once it finishes it's job reboots, I get kernel crashes yet again and I am still unable to enter download mode (It's like the program didn't do anything and the phone just reverts itself to It's previous state).
So is this a hardware issue or am I doing something wrong?
Anyone?

this is the best method so far.
replace your battery as known to cause corruption boot problems when dying
Also try this..... download LG mobile support tool and install + run, ignore start upgrade > battery out > battery in (dont power on) USB cable in pc not phone > hold volume up plug in usb to phone, you will get download mode in blue in box on phone > now on pc > LG mobile support tool > choose options then UPGRADE RECOVERY. will take 57+ mins to complete (over 1 hour) it might seem stuck frozen at 10% to 22% it's not just wait it out...

As I said in the thread, I've already tried this but when the phone reboots and when I try to enter download mode again the phone is not being recognized again.

Bootlooped LG G3

Hi guys,
So yesterday my phone randomly started turning itself off every now and then. As time went by, it happened more and more until it never turned on. So what I'm left with now is a "LG Lifes good" screen, then black screen, then "LG lifes good" again. So I thought I'd boot to TWRP and restore an old backup. At 1% completion, the phone simply went back into the bootloop. After this, I wiped through TWRP, tried to uninstall xposed, did everything i could to no avail. So I thought I'd wipe it back to factory with my laptop. So yeah yeah got the KDZ, used LG Flash Tool 2014, installed the drivers etc and proceeded to wipe it. It didnt work on my windows 8 laptop so i went to my windows 7 desktop. This completed to 100%. My phone got the the language settings then went back into bootloop. I've tried to wipe again but it never completes. What can I do.
All help is greatly appreciated!!!

Are you absolutely sure?? I let it charge overnight and when i turned it on in the morning (while still plugged in), it worked. After unplugging, it immediately turned off.
I really don't want to buy a battery and then find that it wasn't the problem.
Thanks heaps for your reply!!
update
So I can use my phone normally when it's plugged in. However, even when I power off the phone, I get the flashing LG logo and it won't turn off. What might the problem be?

As i mentioned it's your battery.
Even if you over charge it,empty it while you are on TWRP and recharge it,your battery won't work like it supposed to.
Before two months or so,i got this problem(same as you)
I tried charging it all day,emptying it via TWRP(took me about 3hours+ with full brightness to empty it)and recharged it.After that i booted it (while plugged in) and after it booted,i used it about some seconds without the charger and it started again bootlooping.
So i decided to buy a new battery,bought it,removed the old one and inserted the new one,and it worked better than the factory one.
I Hope that my little story helps.
Greetings.

ok thanks so much!

is my G4 hard bricked ?

Well my G4 (VS986) has been running ok on 13b rooted since december 2015, and today it suddenly died, it was on my desk and when I tried to use it the screen was black and it won't turn on, something like this had happen before but I usually just remove the battery and voila it had it working again. But not this time.
Now It only goes to the LG screen and then it turns off again (but it doesn't bootloop) so I keep trying then I connected the phone to the charger and it tried to boot again and this time it went to a black screen saying Secure Booting Error and it was error code 1007 but it went off again.
Then I tried to access recovery mode and it can access and be there for 40 min and it wont turn off, however I can't put it on download mode alway when is connected to the PC it says "qhsusb_bulk"
Anyone have any idea on what happen and how to fix it.
Thanks.
Nevermind.. Say hello to a new bootlooping LG G4 !!
I put it on the freezer and after 20 minutes the phone boot up normal, but after a few minutes it went the famous boot loop.
Time for a new phone
