Hi mates. I have a weird problem. Just last night I am restoring a Nandroid Backup of VANIR ROM for geehrc, which DONT have a problem with my phone. When suddenly after booting and showing the lockscreen, the phone becomes unresponsive and after a few seconds, turns off. After that, It wont boot, even fastboot or recovery wont show up. Even tried the hard reset combo, but to no avail. Download mode works, but I have not tried to flash KDZ yet. Also when I plug in the charger, LG logo shows up then a blank grayish screen, then a battery icon with charging animation, plus a label that says 0% charging. I leave it for about 4 hours, thinking that the phone might just depleted the battery. But still it wont turn on. When I turn it on while plugged in, the LED blinks in red color. The blinking is continuous. What seems to be the problem? Is it hardware or software issue? Please help me guys! :crying:
Any help mates?
Im really loosing my hope reviving my device. Tried different methods from the web. I just flashed KDZ, but the phone keeps flashing the LG logo when plugged in. When I unplug the charger, and power on the phone, nothing happens! Damn. Can anyone give an insight on what might cause the problem? Thanks in advance!
Sorry to hear about your troubles! Honestly, I have no idea what could have caused this, but if I had the same issue, and nothing worked as you described, I would probably crack the phone open, disconnect the battery and just let it sit for a day or so. Then reconnect it, and try powering up again (might need to charge it first). Who knows whether it helps or not, but it definitely wouldn't hurt, and you don't seem to have a lot of options right now...
It's interesting that the download mode still works. The common wisdom says that you should be good after flashing stock KDZ, but your experience shows otherwise...
i've experienced it before. It happen due to your battery is out of charge. What i do is, i open the case, pullout battery and install back.
After that i charge the phone. And voila...charge is on..and my hp on too. :good:

Thanks for your feedback! It's really weird. I have flashed 3 KDZ's already. From Original F180K to E975. Nothing. Other option I have aside cracking it open is returning it to the seller fro check up. But that's the last resort. I suspect something got "unglued" while I am using it. Since the device got really hot before it happened.

Will definitely try this. Thanks for the advice. How long should I remove the battery?
I just removed for a second and put it back. Most probably due to battery not fit. So i just retighten it.

Should you go ahead with it, and in case you've never opened an OG before, just a little advice... It's not difficult, but you need to watch for a couple of things:
1. Make sure you remove the SIM tray BEFORE removing the back cover.
2. Start opening it from the bottom (after removing two screws), and work your way along the sides to the top. When putting it back together, go in reverse (top to bottom).
3. Be careful around the SIM slot and the buttons when prying the cover open -- it's easy to break a thin "bridge" on the side of the cover. Just don't push on those areas.
4. When putting the cover back on, it might be a bit tricky to hold power and volume buttons in position. The easy trick is to use a piece of scotch tape on the outside, so they don't fall in.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the tip! Actually I already opened it, only problem left is the battery. How can I remove it?

I wouldn't suggest actually removing the battery, unless you absolutely have to. It's mounted by a double-sided adhesive tape, so taking it out is a bit tricky. My idea was just to disconnect it. You need to undo two screws that secure the power connector, right below the camera flash. The screws are under the plastic tape, just peel it off. When you remove those screws, carefully pull the connector up. That's it. Check the contacts for any signs of damage or corrosion, and clean up as needed. When reconnecting it, push firmly to make sure it sits properly.

Nice tip again! Thanks! Now I don't have remove the battery. Only problem left is finding the small philips screw driver. Haha. Hoping that this solve the problem. If not, bye LGOG.
Thanks for all the helm mates! My LGOG is back in action!! Thanks again! :laugh: :good:

Now I am running Mokee's latest build. And will flash again VANIR. Thanks again guys. Thought I have to buy a new phone.
hi, same problem... but i must search at home if i can find a tool to open the screw... i only have - and + in this size and didnt work i miss my phone ((
ok. worked for me fine! Thanks!
now 80% battery instead of 0% very cool
and now i know how it looks into the phone very good working LG...
No more charge stuck on 0% sulation
when I plug in the charger, LG logo shows up then a blank grayish screen, then a battery icon with charging animation, plus a label that says 0% charging. I leave it for about 4 hours, thinking that the phone might just depleted the battery. But still it wont turn on.
SOLUTIONS:
1st take battery out of cell.
Leave in direct sun light for 1 hrs.
Clean battery pin with soft brush.
Charge battry manualy by Desktop charger about 2 to 3 hrs.
Put battery back in phone and start charging.
It will done Insha ALLAH.
Dear community.
A few weeks ago I rooted my LG G3 and installed Fulmics 6.0.
Everything went as planned and worked seemlessly.
Today, while watching YT-videos my device turned off and tried to reeboot. After the first, non-animated LG screen, the blue screen appeared.
Same to say while trying to boot into TWRP recovery. After the blue TeamWin Startscreen, the blue screen shows up again. :crying:
Is there any help left?
Kind regards
Thomas
My friend also happen problem
He asked people to help take
Finally, open the motherboard
Then take heat
That seems to be a common problem LG G3
Welding where welding is not good
PS. I use google translate
hi guys, i had the same problem now for 2 days searching the forums for any sign of hope even ringing lg them selves to for them to tell me the repairs will cost more than the phone
so i new at this point i had nothing to lose.. after playing around for 13 hours with my phone i have got it all up and running at the minute for a full day an not once gone off so i might be the lucky one buts its worth a shot
this is what i did.
disassembled my lg g3 and took out the logic board
took off both heat i/o sheilds from the i/o
with a fine tooth brush and some contact cleaner (ipa 90%) i cleaned the main part of the board and let it dry out half hour
i then applied hot air onto the board both sides and let the contacts reseat them selves and the put phone back together (make sure you out the i/o shields back on)
i then tried resetting my phone with lg flash tools and the correct fireware for my phone
(when you are cleaning your phone there is a little sticker on the chip stating what firmware you phone came with, find this firm where as you know it will work)
anyways it didnt work for some random reason so i tried lg flash tools 2014 (i will link everything below).
so when i found the correctish .kdz file i flash the firmware making sure everything went
and for the first time it went to 100% first time.
played with my phone for a while all seamed ok wasnt the standard firmware what was on when cam out the factory.
so i then tried lg flash tools again with the correct firmware and it worked spot-on and has never played up are missed a beat since....

Just an quick update the phone is still working like a dream. Also upgraded to lasted OS. So this could of been a lucky fix or just a bad section in software.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I actually just got this yesterday, and fixed it. It started blue-screening and rebooting sporadically but quickly got to the point where I'd turn the phone on and it would blue-screen and shut off after two seconds. I could still hold Vol Down and power to get into the STOCK system recovery screen, and by choosing Safe mode (Factory data reset went to blue-screen) it went into TWRP. I tried a whole bunch of different things (and luckily was able to get a backup of the internal storage to my SD card) before doing a full wipe. FULL wipe. I then flashed the stock image via KDZ which is where I sit right now. No blue-screens. I had been on Jasmine 9.1 and Skydragon kernel, I'm thinking maybe a recent update didn't play nicely with either of those, or maybe some other custom firmwares too.
I also got this and somehow i manage to resurrect the phone. I was installing another stock-based ROM (Zoe ROM 3.0 - based on V30N) and after setup my phone got a blue screen. I unplugged the battery, i tried to start it again but only showed LG logo for one second, and after that was dead. I mean, completely dead. No power, no charging, no PC detection, nada!
What I've done:
1. disassembled the phone and pull out the motherboard (G3 is really easy to disassemble, really);
2. open the protective cover near the CPU/Memory (it's a weak metal cover, easy to pull down);
3. i wiped gently with a toothbrush and alcohol all the components (i put a lot of medicinal alcohol);
4. i used a hair drawer (hot) to clean the excess of alcohol and to heat the CPU zone (about 1-2 min);
5. i assembled all back together and i prayed to God (no joke, believe it or not);
6. after that i pressed the power button + vol- (to enter recovery) ... and surprise, it's alive;
7. i restored a anterior software backup, just in case... (now i use Zoe ROM 2.7 based on V30J);
Now it's working for about ~4 hrs and no problem at all... i will edit this if something is happening.
Good look! And pray... sometime it really helps.

I'd suggest flashing an original factory image and re-rooting / re-installing TWRP.
Worked for me also !!! Without praying

This worked for me! Didn't even need to reset the OS. My wife's G3 shut down on her one day. I started trying to fix it, but couldn't get past it showing blue screen, boot looping, and then going dead to the point where it wouldn't even boot to the flash recovery screen. I couldn't even get it to turn on at all until I took the battery out and held the power button down for 20 sec.
Then I read this post, removed the circuit board and shields on both sides, blow dried on hot/low setting for about 7 min each side, and let it cool off for about 10 min, then re-assembled everything. First boot it went right to the PIN lock screen like normal. So far so good it's been running for about 30 min no issues. Thank you!
Glad it's working mate I got my phone to my little one now and still going strong it did have a little TIFF a few weeks ago with not even turning on but left on charge for a day as for some reason the battery drained that much it couldn't even charge so yeah
Yeah just did a drop test and smacked it around a little, so far so good still going...
I have a solution to this problem.
When you disassembly phone and remove protective cover (from processor site) remove little battery from motherboard - near to processor.
Thats all. G3 is back to live (at least mine)
The bsod happened to me as well. After trying everything, flash stock firmware, boot to recovery and wipe data, cache etc and nothing worked. I then disassembled the phone and put the motherboard in the oven at 180degree for 10 minutes. So far so good, it booted up fine and it's working pretty well till now. Flahed v30b version and it's working since 10 hours. Will report back how long it stay alive eheh

Looks like this disassambling things really works cuz i read so many places and heard from friends that it works.
But really strange why it suddenly started this problem on everybody
I solved the problem by putting CPU limit. It is not a good solution while your phone works as half of its potantial but it works. Maybe one day i will bake it too
Here's another proof that the heatgun solution seems to work.
My G3 was randomly crashing from time to time over last month but the bluescreen appeared for the first time today. Since then it didn't make it past the LG logo before it would turn blue and shut itself of. So same problem as described above.
I took it apart and took of the metal "heatspreaders" from the motherboard, then heatgunned it from both sides for like two minutes each (with waving the heatgun around so I wouldn't burn the entire thing ), let it cool down a little and reassembled it.
I then just powered it up normally and it works just fine.
I'll update you in a few days.

Yeah, it works, in most cases. The question is - for how long... You may be lucky, and it could be a permanent fix for you. However, the nature of the issue is a manufacturing defect which can only be fixed for sure by reballing the chip (or by just replacing the whole board). Going a bit deeper into technical details, the chip in question is a BGA type (Ball Grid Array). It means that it doesn't have traditional leads for soldering on the board (the ones that are either sticking out or just located on the sides). Instead, it has soldering pads on the underside, and the soldering is done by putting a pre-arranged set of solder balls (hence the name), and the flux on the pads, and then heating up the assembly until it melts. A flaw in preparation or in the soldering process itself results in a bad contact on some pads which usually manifests itself either after the chip and board heat up under load, or when the board is physically deformed even a tiny bit (hit or dropped), or just after some deterioration/oxidation over time...
Sorry for the nerdy stuff, I am done now... Basically, consider the heatgun trick to be about the same as banging on the side of the old tube TV trying to fix the static on the screen...
Hi and thank you for checking my thread
I have a problem with my G3 as described in the tittle, I did the Paper trick I saw on YouTube but sadly it didn't work
After a while I found out that placing a piece cut from Credit card under the CPU might work and I did , but one week later I had the same problem, likely I can just click sleep button and it returns to normal
After these many problems I decided to give up on it and sell it, but I need a permanent Fix so I don't get involved in Cheating
Also , does replacing motherboard will fix the issue ?
Does G4 Worth it now ? I know about bootloop problem
Probably is a bad motherboard
When my G3 finally died (digitizer went bad), I just replaced it with a used G4 for $150. That was like 6 months ago. The phone has been phenomenal. I know there is many who say that every G4 will bootloop eventually, but I really don't see how thats possible if you just browse google for the issue. Yeah, a lot of people had the problem, but if everyone did you wouldn't see the G4 still being sold at a ton of outlets, and you would see hundreds of links to the issue. I think there was a large batch of them that were bad... and they got past QC, but the vast majority of them are probably fine.

Replacing the Motherboard will fix the issue ?
Yea, i saw "1 month/year after" Reviews on youtube and no one montion the bootloop issue, people ask them in comments and they reply that the phone works normal with no issues
Thank you for replying dude appreciate it
I was skeptical at first, but by baking the motherboard in the oven did the trick for me. It has been a couple of hours now an no flickering, no black screen and no troubles. And i know i'm asking for Murphy to come and bite my as*, but as a little trick, i'd like to suggest before putting the mobo in the oven to try something: i have an old Akasa X4 cpu cooler which has metal fins which are removable. I took one of those things and cut a square a little bit smaller than the power IC to the right of the SoC and then cut another one the exact same size then stacked the two one on top of each other, making sure to not short any capacitor around the IC and then put the metal shield back, making sure to put pressure on the IC. Then preheated the oven at roughly 180 degrees celsius, then put the motherboard SoC face up into the preheated oven on three balls of aluminium foil, one at the bottom near the micro usb, and the others to balance the motherboard, like a BMW Isetta, and put the timer for 10 minutes. After these nervous 10 minutes, I took out the mobo and let it to cool at room temperature for ~30 minutes. And voila, now it works. I do hope that it is going to last, and i will be very careful with this phone, unlike the previous owner. Seriously, how can you put a freaking button (small one, from a shirt) between the SoC and the mid-frame? Crazy. And that's why i got it for ~8000 JPY (about 70 bucks).

I had a similar problem for about two months. I tried the paper thing over the camera sensor and I felt like it helped some but the problem still continued. The screen would just slowly go dark with vertical lines running through it. All apps would still work in the background while this was happening. I could boot to TWRP and this problem never happened while in TWRP which was odd. Seemed like if it was a screen issues or hardware malfunction it would happen all the time. That's when I decided to just flash back to stock. I was thinking about getting the S8 anyways so what the hell. I flashed to stock 10B and took every single OTA. Took all night but I've been running stock for over a day now and the issue has not replicated itself one time since reverting back to stock. I was on RR Nougat and Fulmics when it happened prior. Has to be a root or Rom issue?

Just wondering if your G3 is still functioning without the issue.
It really feels like a hardware issue but as you pointed out it didn't happen in TWRP... but like many, I encounter the issue when the phone gets a bit warm (>35C), so maybe TWRP and your stock android is not as hot as RR Nougat? Then again, I'm on MM when this happened...
Update: Actually the flicker n fade happened to me in TWRP while I was backing up. The temperature read about 60C.
I had bigger problems with my g3 and they started as follows
Problem 1. camera not being detected and crashing. 2. Reboot once a while which got worse over time. 3. Bluetooth sketchy and WiFi not connecting. 4. Sd card being ejected and mounted constantly. 5. Mobile data stopped working.
Solution: baked it in the oven 10min with cpu side up at 185c removed to cool 4 30min. Problems gone for the meantime.
This morning at work my D852 died with the exact same screen fades to black and would only stay on for at most like 10 seconds and would only come on again after the processor cooled enough. I came across this youtube video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF1s4RCZAvc
Since I didn't have any copper foil tape, I substituted with Aluminum foil tape and placed the tape in the same places as detailed in the video. (copper works better than aluminum for heat dispersal)
My phone is now back to normal and hasn't shown any issues with the past 5 hours since I applied the fix.
UPDATE: My phone has worked perfectly for several days now until I turned on the GPS from Cell Tower to High Accuracy and it immediately started to die again. Once it cooled down I was able to get to the settings screen to turn off GPS and it went back to functioning like normal
How to fix
I tried the paper trick and it did not work. No need to replace the motherboard or the phone. The issue is just a bad connection between the motherboard to the LCD display.. Probably due to dirt (in my case, I found that quite a few places in my motherboard had corrosion buildup). Here is the fix...
1. Remove battery cover and Unscrew The back plastic from the base of the phone to get to the motherboard.
2. Disconnect all the connectors from the motherboard.
3. Scan the motherboard for anything unusual. (My motherboard had corrosion on several different places).
5. Clean any dirt or corrosion with lint-free cloth. (I didn't have one so I had to use a Q-tip).
*if needed, Dip the cloth in rubbing alcohol to assist in cleaning. make sure that the cloth is JUST BARELY Damp and not dripping, otherwise you will risk water-damaging the phone. If you use rubbing alcohol, make sure that you dry the spot right after you wipe it.
6. Once you have cleaned the motherboard, check the base of the phone and clean any dirt from here also.
7. Replace the motherboard, re-connect the connections, screw on the back, and put the battery cover back on.
Viola! Mine has been working like new for 4 days so far with no issues...

So a permanent fix is a new motherboard or a new screen?
I have a second hand ONEPLUS 3 that has water damage. It works completely except it won't charge. To charge the battery, I have to remove it and charge it in another ONEPLUS 3. I have replaced the battery and have tried another charging port and daughter board.
When switched on, the phone shows 50% battery regardless of how much charge it has.
I have tried various roms, and it has the latest stock Oreo update atm.
I want to know is there any mod to disable this warning that would allow me to charge it? I understand the risks, but would like to try. I saw a fix for a Samsung S3 by disabling a system app, but do not see the equivalent here. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks

Well, you said it was water damage. Then I replied that you got your answer. Battery Temp to low is there for a reason you can't and shouldn't remove it. See if you can open up the phone perhaps there is some corrosion... Nothing else you can do.

Don't know if you actually read the post properly, but I listed the things I tried and parts I had replaced. I'm looking for a work around to be able to charge it. I wrote that I understand the risks to disable this warning.
I had soaked the board in isopropyl alcohol and scrubbed it a bit. No corrosion.
It sounds like you can't help, but thanks for your input.

If the temp sensor in either the battery or BMS is broken, then you should NOT charge it at all. There's severe risks charging a battery that does not know it's temperature.
Go buy a replacement. Anyone that helps you with this is retarded, as helping you 'fix' something that is broken and can potentially cause damage/explode while charging is dumb.

Thanks for your opinion. Sounds like you don't have a solution either. I want to fix it.

Good to know thanks. I won't do that to your house either :angel:
Hey, did you find a solution? I have got the same problem and could only think of the lower logic board to be damaged. I think that is what you refer to as daughter board. Would be very nice if there is a solution to that problem, even if i have to replace several things. Does anybody know for sure where the battery temperature sensor is in a OP3?
Because on my research I have found that the sensor is in the battery itself in some phones. That would make sense but if you say the battery is charging in another phone that is weird....
Had similar problem a few months ago.
The only thing that appeared on the screen when i turned it on was a warning saying "Device Temperature is too low".
Send it to Oneplus an received it working but on the rma service note they said there was nothing wrong with it.
Funny thing is that it came with OOS 3.2.1 when on that time the last version was Nougat 4.x.x.
Try to flash one of the first versions of OOS and see if it works.
Mine Oneplus 3T won't charge as well, "Device Temperature Is Too Low, Cannot Charge" and battery level is always 50%.
The problem is in malfunctioning on-battery temperature sensor, which doesn't report the data and OS handles that as the minimum possible temperature -40°C. OS won't allow charging if the temperature is less than -3°C, so it won't work.
If you use LineageOS and urgently need to use the phone, you can flash patched kernel with temperature protection disabled and charge it.
WARNING: This kernel is not suitable for every day use, you still should fix malfunctioning hardware. Do not leave unattended device on charger, always control it.
Unpack the image and flash it via recovery in image flash mode.
Hi ValdikSS,
Is there a patch like this for the One Plus 6 as well ?
I've been stuck with this issue for a week now and i replaced the battery tried different chargers and leaving it off for days an try again but nothing worked
Thanks,
Same problem in OnePlus 3t I flashed lot of custom os like pie ROM successfully used perfect ,last time havoc os 2.0 official ROM I flashed, one mistake I do,
I didn't see the battery level that time 13% I flashed ROM so battery sensor shows temperature is too low then I charged then I flashed same ROM is done, but another ROM I again flash, that shows battery 50% stuck an I encrypted again OnePlus 3t oxygen os I flashed same problem, finally I used nitrogen an havoc only charge100% but no longer time battery stand quickly battery used without any useage ,so battery sensor where we find only solve this problem
It would indeed be a lot risky to charge a battery which has a damaged temperature check mechanism. It does not warrant trying unstable kernels and allowing batteries to be charged without temperature checks. It is risky enough to burn a house down and it is advisable to just buy a new battery if the phone seems to have a decent life left in it.
Possible Solutions
There are 3 possible solutions for this issue.
1: replace battery.
2: change the ROM for one that changes the Kernel for a version without this temperature protection.
3: fix or replace the main board.
To fix the main board you need to check 2 things on it.
On the left side of the battery conector (under a double sided glue tape foam), there are some SMD.
The lowest two are related with this problem.
I fix my board resoldering the one on the right (nearest to the conector).
Be aware that the SMD is small and when are desoldered, it gets sticked on the double sided glue tape foam.
I don't know how to insert a image, Sorry.

Please stop this copying and pasting the same thing in all the threads you can find regarding battery not charging. A post in one or two may be alright, not on everyone.

Man, I'm really sorry for that.
I thought that I should give one reply for each question, so the person who requested would receive my answer.
I'm new on Forums and still getting the hang of it.
Hi all,
I have a general hardware problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. Maybe someone here has an idea or tip for me.
I still used the factory software without any rooting or unlocking the bootloader. So everything original and up to date.
A few month ago the tablet began to restart in the middle of using it. At the beginning it happened seldom, but then more and more often. Also during the restart new restarts happened more and more often, so that it took several retries, until it started again. Now it is not usable anymore, because it is not running longer than a few seconds before the next restart if it happens to boot completely at all.
I was able to make a factory reset but this didn’t solve the problem.
My first theory is, that this could be a problem with the battery, that it is slowly dying and had more and more problems to hold the voltage. But the problem also exists when the power supply is connected. So I am not sure if this rules out the possibility, that this could be cause by the battery? Does somebody know how this is internally wired, if a broken battery could still have a negative effect when the power supply is connected?
Do you have other ideas/advices, what could be the problem or would could be helpful to do?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best
The USB power input can't sink enough current to boot it or even run it without the battery acting as a reserve during peak usage spikes.
Replace the battery and go from there.
Thanks, then I will try this.

Hi Vertex, have you tried this already? I have pretty much the same problem and the battery was also my first intuition, but I don't know if buying a new one is worth it. Thanks!
Hi,
unfortunately I didn't had time to do it yet. I want to change the battery myself and for that I will need time and somebody to borrow me a hot air gun, because everything is glued together.
I will report, when I have done it but it will be at least a few weeks.
Alright, so I'll probably try it sooner, I'll update after replacing the battery. Also, if you haven't tried it yet, you might want to try just disconnecting the battery from the motherboard and connecting again after like 20s, I've read that it sometimes resolves this problem, but it didn't work for me. Fortunately removing the back lid of tab s4 is pretty easy, I used hairdryer, so with heatgun it should be even easier.
Thanks for the tips. I am currently on vacation but when I am back I will also try with a hairdryer.
Any additional tips for removing the back lid to somebody doing it the first time beyond what you can see in the youtube videos? How do you glue it back together?
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
I have eventually replaced the battery, and nothing changed unfortunately… I did a factory reset, etc. However I also had an issue that you didn't describe in your original post, which is that USB connection is not working, it only charges the battery, when connected to the PC while booted it's just not visible at all (tried with several cables, two computers, on windows and linux), when in download mode it kind of shows up, but it's not recognized and no drivers or any solution that I've found are working, so I don't know if it's still hardware problem something with the USB related parts or something in the system on lower level. Well, I'll be trying.
About the back lid. Beyond YT videos only thing that comes to my mind is patience. About the glue, you have few options and it depends a bit on how removing the cover goes. 1) glue stays in the more or less same condition as before removing the cover - that's how it went for me - in that case you can just reuse it, just by closing the cover and pressing it down for some time, it's probably not as strong as new but for me it worked just fine, especially if you use a book cover for the tablet there won't be a problem.
But if the glue came off, wrinkled a lot, or just doesn't stick anymore, 2) you can either use a special epoxide glue often with signature like T-7000 or T-800 but if you just look for a glue for smarphones you'll easily find it. Or 3) Buy a special sticker for this exact device which has a specific shape, it's pretty much the same thing as is used by manufacturer.
