Hello XDA!
A few months ago I won an LG Optimus Me P350 and I recently discovered that no recovery mode.
I tried to follow a tutorial offered by this community and unfortunately I failed in fastboot.
I tried something with cmd and I remain "locked" .. I say that is waiting phone.
And with KDZ not know how well I did, but with 3GQCT Emergency Mode and Select Emergency calls me at a time that does not detect the phone, which is strange .. since it detects the computer ...
Probably a very old version and no firewall or KDZ file rather not be too good.
Let's try a little with KDZ, and if you fail I hope to find here a solution posted for you!
I know I can somehow manage to get rid of this problem.
I wanted to install android 7.xx (not sure what version I had) with recovery mode .. but unfortunately went into fastboot.
Thanks in advance!
Which guide did you follow? I compiled the one on XDA Wiki for Optimus Me so I know the ins and outs of flashing this phone. Can you be more specific on what problem did you face?
Hello All,
I made a horrible discovery as I went to set my alarm last night that my G3 has managed to hard brick itself. It wasn't rooted but had a few emulators and stuff on it and at some point it has ruined the phone
It has the dreaded QHSUSB_BULK whenever I try to flash it or use the LG Mobile Support tool after say 2-4%.
I'm hoping (praying) that some kind G3 owner (D855 16GB UK Model) could upload or send me a debrick.img for the SD?
If not I'll have to try and claim the warranty with LG as my return window has passed with amazon unfortunately.
First android and a month later a hard brick lol :/
Thank you!
(I know it's almost certain I'll have to send it away)
Are you trying the TOT flash method or the KDZ flash method?
Whenever i see a firmware flash fail it's almost always caused from a usb issue.
Try not to stress, i bricked my phone the other night and couldn't get it to flash for hours and couldn't figure out why, it turns out the 2014 PC i was trying to use wasn't having nothing to do with flashing my G3, but a 10 year old laptop got the job done without any hesitation.
Here's the guide i used to unbrick my phone, like i said other then the PC i was trying to use this worked perfect.
http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html
Here's a list of things you can try:
1. Try different usb ports on your PC, try using the usb ports on the back of your computer, they are the most reliable.
2. Try a differnt usb cable.
3. Make sure you have the correct driver, You should be using the LGUnitedMobileDriver
4. Try a different computer to flash all together.

If it is completly hard bricked try this => http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
I know there's one on xda too, but in my opinion this one is easier to follow and easier to understand.
If you'd like to check the xda one out too, here it is => http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359
The download is corrupted and other is off
Hey all,
I restarted my phone yesterday and it was stuck in a boot loop for some reason. I tried to factory reset, but doing so still resulted in a boot loop. I then proceeded to attempt to flash stock, but the flash tool crashed while during the process. When I try to boot to download mode now, I get "Secure booting error, Error!: Boot Certifcation Verify". I know this also happens on the G2, and I know the process for fixing it. But when trying to use the same method with the G3, I can't access my filesystem from Linux. Any help? Thanks.

I was rooted before updating to lollipop, then tried to back dowk to KK with TOT and this happened, so I dont think I am rooted any more.
The better question is: do you have TWRP (custom recovery) installed? If you do, your phone can be fixed. If not, you are probably screwed.
Basically it sounds to me like your phone managed to flash the updated Android 5.0 bootloader but didn't update the LAF image (download mode). The old download mode doesn't work on the new bootloader, it gives the error you are experiencing.
Because you still have a LAF partition, and presumably a recovery partition (even if they are not working) you cannot access fastboot mode.
In other words, there may be no way to fix your situation.
As the hardware is fine there must be a method, but it might be something only LG can do.

I'm in the same situation now.
I was bumped with TWRP and CM12 installed. I wanted to unroot and go back to stock. Started a flash with LG flashing tool, but it was taking ages, so I unplugged the USB cable in the middle.
Now whenever I boot via either VolUp+USB or trying to get into a recovery I get secure boot error.
Is there a way to fix this ? Or do I need to send a phone to LG ?
This has happened to me today. Downgrading got stuck at 3%. LG Flash tool said to remove phone and plug back in. Any way to fix
Also, does anyone know if downgrading voids warranty or anything?

I didn't find a way to fix it, so I've just sent it to LG repair shop. They haven't yet looked at it so I don't know how much would it cost.
People just tell the service center that you were upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop when the problem happened
Evidence wise it support your claim since the OTA from KitKat to Lollipop overwrites the aboot, sbl, laf and recovery partitions and service center people ultimately cannot tell between failed OTA and a failed KDZ flash

Did you get an answer on the cost yet? I have the same problem, so I'm probably looking at the same resolution as you.

It was free for me, as it was on warranty.
solution for no download mode
Hi guys.
If you cant enter into download mode then you need to force your g3 in to qhsusb bulk mode by shorting the test point.
When you short battery must be removed.
After short your phone will be detected as qhsusb bulk mode.
Send me msg in pm for further help.
If u dont know the test point then let me know.

Hi! I just recently bricked my LG G3 D852, and I would really appreciate it if you could PM me and help me out here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
Try this. This will revert to factory default, tons of bloatware included ?
Sent from my D855 running CloudyG3 2.3 with Gabriel5 kernel.
Don't forget to smash that thanks button if I, or someone else helps you, guys!
Hey!
I guess i just softbricked my phone, by installing a D855 firmware thing, using LGUP, and don't know how to fix this. To be correct, it turns on to the LG logo, and stays there forever. I can use hard reset, and it does the job, but still bootloop thing. I can also get into download mode, but nowhere further than the LG logo screen if i just turn it on or something. Tried to use LG Flash Tool on multiple computers one after another. I followed guides for help with it, and did everything as they described, but the problem with this, is after i use LG Flash Tool with the correct .TOT file, and .DLL file, it will just say "Model Information Chech FAIL.", so i can't fix it by flashing the correct files. I've been trying everything for 2 days, but no luck. Please, can you guys help me? :'( I'm worried.
Update: My phone is now fixed. I don't know how it got fixed. My brother did it, and he doesn't tell me how he did it. :'D Anyways. It's now fixed, so thank you for everyone who messaged me about this with helps. ^^ After 2 days of trying, its finally fixed.
Hey guys.
Here's my situation:
My phone had some Xtreme rom which was essentially just a debloated stock 6.0 rom.
I was trying to install a very experimental multirom recovery but it essentially failed and was giving me errors whenever I wanted to flash something.
I used the phone like this for a few days because I didn't have time to fix it but eventually it got stuck in a bootloop and all I have access to now is download mode.
Now LGUP is not an option because the makers of Xtreme modified the build.prop and my g4 shows up as unrecognized and Flash Tool doesn't work because I'm on v20i.
I've searched through the forums but there doesn't seem to be any definitive solution to this situation. I would love any advice on the matter...my g4 has been in a coma for about
5 months now and I've been using my galaxy nexus.
Thanks guys.
I had similar situation before, and I managed to get my ass out using file manager from TWRP recovery.
Does your rec come with integrated file manager, or can you flash your rec in current rec?
If it's NO and NO, I guess you're now super hard bricked.
Maybe you can try putting your phone in 9008 and then unbrick it.
