Here's my case:
I've got a LG G3 F400L (Korean LGU Variant), its on Marshmallow(6.0), and for all I know I used the Autorec program for Lollipop, and apparently got my bootloader corrupted; No led flashing, no display. But the Qualcomm 9008 serial port is shown on the device manager and I can use Boardiag to detect it. I know, irony and idiocy made this dilemma.
Diagnostics:
I've used Boardiag 2.99a by willcracker and yes I've checked "AP check" and "EMMC TEST" and both are tagged as "Pass", but when it comes to the "SDRAM TEST" it throws off an error indicating that there is a flash error on partition "boot" along with a 0x3000 and I can't progress beyond that, I've also tried to use the "Restore Device" option to revive it but still the later error still persists.
I've also tried Smart Boot Diagnostics but the problem is that my device's AP Chip doesn't exist on the current version of the tool.
What I would like to press on:
I would want to resolve this on my own and that no amount of suggesting on sending this to the service center would yield fruit. Please do understand, I would also like this to be a thread that can help me and other on resolving their corrupted bootloader units.
Please, can someone help me on my dilemma. Thank you very much. Any amount of help is appreciated.
Try using board diag with the battery unplugged.

Already tried that but still nothing works.
Current situation:
Alas, I've accessed fastboot and had wiped the boot partition, but now the USB is detected as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port."

You need to short with a cable internet connection I do this last night and changes for Qalcomm USB in the same time...After that, you need to open BoarDiag and do the process. If you can´t enter in download mode, you need in BoarDiag pass the USERDATA
I follow this link: http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/

Hello everyone.
I need your help.
My Device: LG G3 D855 32GB
The device does not turn on, the only thing that appears is because when I connect the device to a PC, I see a driver installed:
RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008
I read guides on site here, and I'm trying to order
I downloaded the software BoardDiag 2.9
I downloaded the files to the appropriate TOT
I extracted the files by instructors on site.
I opened the program and I followed the guide and it seems to me an error
Download mode is enabled Mode,
I quickly disconnects from the computer and reconnect the computer and then the moment I am unable to do a test and the results are:
AP CHECK START = PASS
EMMC TEST START
FAILED TO OPEN PARTITION FROM EMMC
TEST ABORTED !!
I tried a lot of tutorials but I can not, it always seems the device is in Download Mode
What can I do more?
Please your help,
Eliran
If you go that way, you will need bunch of other stuff. Here is the link
http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
It is a good thing that your PC recognises phone like that.
But first be sure that You can not enter download mode or recovery or even fastboot.
And please say what did you do to make it like that? Wrong flash?
If you CAN enter download mode than you can flash kdz or tot files from there. Easiest way is to use LGUP but you must be careful if you want to try.
The phone fell

The phone fell into the vehicle.

I did not try to install KDZ.
And I can not open a setup KDZ because the device does not rise and there is no open port.
I only have the port I did above.

I set up the software the guide and I got an error:

I changed the parameter Read / Write »to« Erase
And again I got the error:

Then I try again, click Start, open a window and write in English and Chinese

I click OK, the window closes and then when I press Start again, the window reappears.
Only when I disconnect the USB cable from the computer and the author briefly again then I’m able to do the test, but he failed.
FAIL on the EMMC test
The device always is in Download Mode and appears port:

My component can not be right at all and it always is in Download Mode?
I did not do short the guide, because the computer also detected me.
It has always seemed stuck in a download mode.
There is another option? Short elsewhere as will enable progress?

Hello everyone
Today I tried again to connect the device to your computer, the screen comes on suddenly.
And see the state of battery with a question mark inside a yellow triangle.
I did not realize also saw installed driver
LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port
I tried to re-install.
Now again became a black screen and the next thing happens:
When the device without a battery connected to a computer costing me
RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008
When I'm with a battery, it registers an unknown device.
When the device without a battery test again tried to do this EMMC component fails.
help please

I am exactly in the same situation. Have you found any solution so far???? My phone suddenly stopped working and didn't boot up at all first and then I used the LG Flashtool to install original TOT file and all went well. I forgot to close LG Flashtool and it started flashing again. LG Flash tool restarts the phone at about 80% and then it failed at that point and since then I am having this issue.................
Any solution???????

Hey I have the same problem .
If any of you found the solution please post it here or pm me, I am stuck
Hi guys,
I made a stupid mistake:
I was overwriting aboot.img from terminal to solve "secure boot failed" error. I didn't have backcase installed and battery fell out.
Now, the phone is bricked or at least the screen remains black, no vibrating, no flashing LED.
Is there anything I can do to revive the phone?
Can you enter anything ? Download mode ?
IF nothing you have to force to qualcomm 9008 mode and use boarddiag to fix the phone
Download-mode (Vol-up while plugging in USB) does not work.
Do you think, I can unbrick it by using willcracker's method?
Is there anything I need to keep in mind? Can you give an estimation whether this approach will solve the issue?
Yes, both willcrackers and the link will fix it
If you somehow fail write here
uhm, it seems as if the archive is protected by password? Any adive on how to get hold of it or any alternative solution?
What's also a little strange: the file "androidbrick_G3_fix.7z" is above 100MB while the download of "BoardDiag v2.99a.zip" is around 7MB...
Do I need to dis-assemble the G3 to short the pins stated here?
I did the EXACT SAME THING. I guess we can be idiots together, right?
Unfortunately, boarddiag refuses to flash with some error about the AP and android_g3_fix fails for me (looks like it's working but does nothing).
If you want to try anroidbrick_g3_fix you can email the author for the password.
I'm at a loss as to what to do, I'm already in qualcomm 9008 mode with drivers...
Follow the steps on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/fix-marshmallow-autorec-hard-brick-t3284608
After i killed my G3 with TWRP (Autorec for LP) on MM i bring my G3 back to life.
Tip: Use a thin massive copper caple, 0,5mm, and put the other end on the top of the sim-slot for ground.
It´s easier.

I don't have TWRP though, will it work?
Didn't seem to. I've had horrid luck with BoardDiag though...
I'm not sure if it makes any difference, but my phone is a Verizon 32GB LG G3 w/MSM8975AC that came preflashed with 35b 5.1.1 (thanks, ,verizon) and has never seemed to respond to any of the downgrade methods. Hence me playing with partitions, flashing aboot to an earleir version, and getting into this mess by failing to flash sb1.
I'm willing to pay to get this fixed, but unsure where to go or who is reputable.
I have managed to shortcircuit the pins and get my G3 to be listed as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" and a corresponding COM port.
When I start the "androidbrick_G3_fix" as administrator, the tool shows that "USB Status" is "not ready". In the guide it says:
if your driver is installed you will see your port, if not, youll see “Not ready” in little green window.

EDIT:
I've used BoardDiag 2.99a to flash different partions according to this source extracted from *.tot file.
Now the phone (obviously) does not boot and shows "Security Error".
Trying to enter download mode seems to work though as it shows "Download Mode" followed by "Firmware Update".

You need to do the short and connect the cable with the tool open first. Otherwise for some weird reason it doesn't detect the phone.
It appeared to work for me but did nothing. I hope you have better luck.
---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------
Just saw your edit.
If you can enter download mode, you can now flash a tot using any online guide for such, and in theory unbrick your phone.
As for me, still no luck.
Willing to paypal gift $30.00 to anyone who can help. I've recieved some help invitations but they all insist I install whatsapp, and I can't do that without a phone...
Currently, I am flashing a kitkat kdz (D85510f_00.kdz) to the phone using LG Flash Tool 2014.
It seems to takes ages but is progressing nevertheless. After 30 minutes the tool says 14% whereas the phone says 5% on the screen. I hope the process speeds up a little...
Wish me luck

@ R-T-B:
Are you able to get the phone to 9008 mode? Have you tried using the plain BoardDiag 2.99a to extract from *.tot file and flash those afterwards?

I wish you enough luck for both of us!
But seriously, good luck. Sounds like you are in the home stretch.
EDIT: Yes, I am in 9008. Unfortunately BoardDiag seems to refuse to flash it with AP errors. I think it's an issue with the updated chipset Verizon uses on the 32gb model.
I'm fixing a D855 model which I hardbricked by accident. This is what I tried so far but still unsuccessful:
1. I used the method which involved shorting the pins in order for my PC to detect it as Qualcomm USB QDloader (something). I used the BOARDDIAG v2.99c as it's the only version that could detect my phone connected. Newer versions doesn't seem to work. I flashed all the partitions, even the userdata and system (which the tutorial doesn't recommend as it takes very long; it took me more than 12 hrs+). After flashing the sli, which is supposed to be flashed last, my phone boots to kernel panic mode. From this point, my phone can be seen as LGE androidnet port (COM41) (sorry I'm just typing this from memory)
2. From the kernel panic mode, I used the LG flash tool to flash a D855 TOT and a LG8974.dll. However, it still cannot detect my phone model. IMEI and PID still comes out as null. Back to #1, the reason I also flashed userdata and system partition because flash tool still cannot detect my phone. I was hoping to boot it up using the 1st method but it keeps on throwing it to kernel panic mode.
Any suggestions how to revive my LG G3?
hey, i have the same issue, did you find any sulotion?
I have a LG G3 D855 I've been looking at for about a week now, it wont boot no matter what is flashed onto it. Tried as many guides as I could find but still nothing.
Anyone got any ideas?
Tried Flash tool with KDZ direct from LG, tried installing TWRP but it won't install, tried LG PC suit recovery and nothing. na-da.

Is it recognized in the device manager of your PC? If yes - what does it say?
*When I'm in download mode it shows up as "LGE Mobile USB composite device" under USB controllers.

Actually...it's not what it's showing up as. Under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" it should be listed, but yours is listed as LGE AndroidNet USB serial port(com 41) under "ports". That is looking like a soft brick. I had a similar problem occur when I unplugged a phone while it was flashing/upgrading. You'll need to TOT back to stock since KDZ has failed you. Scroll down to the TOT method... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I see you are on com41 - have you already tried TOT? If yes and it fails, what is the error?
*Also, you may need to uninstall any mobile device drivers and reinstall just the LG drivers for things to work right.

The TOT went on fine but it still won't boot, it's a strange one this phone..
Hello, I need help with my LG, the cell phone ran out of battery while updating firmware, now I cannot enter download mode, nor fastboot, and the recovery does nothing, when I turn on the cell phone it always ends up in a black screen with a text of the type "CMD" putting a number and something of "udc_start" and that's it.
windows 10 makes the normal beep but does not recognize the model, in the device manager "android device" appears with the warning sign that there are no drivers.
LGUP does not recognize the device
The only way I had to "make windows recognize it" was with "QFIL" and touching the two pins on the motherboard, in the program it says:
"qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 (com4)"
I have never flashed a cell phone bios or a bootloader if I misunderstand (I am relatively new to android), I have only flashed "the operating system" in this case a 1gb .kdz
I have no idea how to do this, if I don't misunderstand, I need a .mbn (I think it's the bios), which is compatible with QFIL, which I couldn't find in all of google.
I've come across other .mbn of "similar" g4 models, I wonder if it will work if I at least try them.
They may not work perfectly, but at least turn on.
What do you suggest? I feel lost in an ocean t-t

Seems like a similar problem as I had, that's not gonna work though. The only way to fix it is to use a firehose which you can use a one from a Cyanogen MSM8939 device.
