TWRP starts to flash but can't complete - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My D855 LG G3 won't flash. I rooted and installed cm13 back in January.
Last month it has been playing up and now shut down completely in a bootloop. Tried wiping the rom clean and reinstalling. Except now twrp starts the flashing process before it boots into the LG boot screen where it stops.
I can't begin to flaah recovery because it does the same thing. Boots before it has a chance to start flashing.
So I now have a device with no OS and no way of flashing an OS onto it.
Can someone help. Please because I'm not skilled enough to know how to fix this

LG G3 cyanogenmod 13 update has broken my phone. Stuck on bootloop.

Hello so I flashed cm13 way back in January. Recently the last few nightlies have really messed my phone up. Randomly crashing and got worse before it now bootloops for no reason. I booted up in twrp and read to wipe everything and flash latest nightly again. Did that except now twrp starts the flash before it boots onto the LG screen. It stays like that and I have to remove the battery. Basically it starts to flash before stopping the flash and booting the phone after a few seconds. Phone will only boot into twrp but same thing again. I feel like I have wiped the system so surely flashing the nightly will work. At the moment I have no phone and really not happy. Can someone help? Bit of a noob to this.
Best solution for you is to flash a stock rom using LG Flashtool. You can never go wrong, after that you can root and flash any rom of your choice. Avoid flashing cm nightly, try the stable versions.

This doesnt quite seem like a boot loop... Help?

So my phone has been perfect for over a year. Within the first month of owning it I rooted, installed TWRP, and jumped on CM13. Been updating nightlies all year long once every week or so and enjoying the phone. Its really been perfect. Tonight after work I jump in my car, throw it on my car charger, and drive home. When I get home I notice for some reason I have no cell service (Emergency Call Only) so I reboot. That was the end. The reboot got stuck on the CM boot screen flashing the circle out around the CM face over and over and over. So, I pop the battery, try again, same thing.
Well, being that I have rooted and flashed for years now I figured Id wipe dalvik and cache. Tried that, same thing. Did a full wipe and reinstalled the nightly from my SD card. This time I thought I made progress as it set up all the apps. Then it just hangs on "starting apps" and then it sits there forever. Never boots. Doesnt loop or restart or anything, just says its starting apps.
So, jump on here and find the bootloop issue. My serial is 505x so I was wondering if maybe thats my issue. Decide to download the all in one flash zip from here...

and I flash that. Stock rom works without any issue. Fired it up, logged in, no problems. Huh. Do a restart and even though I flashed that file it still shows bootloader unlocked as the LG logo comes up, and boots into TWRP as normal as well. Figured well I flashed a stock rom, lets give CM13 a try again. I download a fresh nightly through my pc and transfer it over via usb so I know its good. Full wipe, flash, reboot, hangs at "starting apps" again.
Now I am lost. The stock rom sucks and my love for this phone is based around what it is with CM installed. Am I missing something here? I really want to get back to CyanogenMod and away from the clunky slow stock rom.
Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
EDIT: Well went through the Android setup steps after flashing the stock rom so I would have a phone until this was all figured out. Turned out its not working. After setup I am not getting "Process System Isn't Reponding: wait or close" No matter what I do the phone is so slow or laggy I cant use it. Its trying to download my apps and restore my phone from my Google account but it just hangs up. No idea what to do at this point. Is my kernel messed up? Its a totally clean flash. What the heck. 3am, I give up, hopefully someone has insight in the morning. Thank you all.

You really have to investigate by adb. Look into the dmesg output and logcat as well. Maybe your sdcard is corrupt or 100 other issues are possible as well. What device do you own? H811? unlocked?

There are several users reporting that the latest cm version bootloop the best option is to start in download mode and Flash with LGUP Stock ROM.
You could also try to boot into Download Mode and then flash the latest twrp and then Boot into Factory Reset Mode again

random infinite bootloop.

Hello there
After my phone randomly rebooted while watching a video it ran into a bootloop.
I had been running LineageOS for the past couple of months and everything was fine up until yesterday.
I have tried restarting, and everything and only managed to reflash twrp via adb and force it to boot into twrp, but now it's stuck booting into that.
when I try to boot into lineage I only see the boot animation of lineage that never stops, and when I boot into twrp I see the boot screen of that, which never stops.
I've let the phone do its thing for so long that it has run out of power, so it's not something that just takes a long time. I feel like this thing is completely bricked now.
Anyone maybe got a solution? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
Think I might have the same issue, except I didn't flash or modify anything on the phone. I'm running all stock ROM and all the rest.
Stuck in a bootloop in recovery mode. Mini partition does not recognise the phone. Same with QPST. QComDloader does, but only for a few seconds, so whatever I try it's not fast enough before the next reboot...
Whats are the options? I don't want to have to send it back to China

LG D855 stuck in boot loop, even after factory reset

Hello,
I have a LG G3 D855 with unlocked bootloader and TWRP 3.0.2-0 and it had a relatively recent build of the official LineageOS ROM.
Everything was running fine, until suddenly, during a phone call, it shut down, and since then,each time I try to turn on the device, the LG logo appears for 20 seconds, disappears for 2 seconds, and then appears again, over and over again. I can still access the recovery thou.
So I have tried wiping everything, including system, data, and caches, repairing file systems, reinstalling the newest version of lineageOS, (my SD card slot doesn't work so i had to push the ROM file to the data partition using adb and installing it from there). I also tried using a different battery, and the same problem persists.
I am kinda hopeless now so I would appreciate any help I can get.
Many thanks.
I have the exact same problem. It started when I upgraded to latest TWRP. Flashing back to the normal TWRP didn't solve the problem and the boot looping is persistent now and TWRP is inaccessible.
I flashed to stock rom using LG flash tool 2014 and no matter what I try it still loops indefinitely with the new OS installed.

Phone keeps Crashing on Boot animation, No iMEI, Wifi, Bluetooth. Restart loop.

This a bit of a long short story, so please bear with me for a while.
I first unblocked my Lenovo K5 Vibe Plus a6020a46 (India) in 2017 and using TWRP I had flashed the AEX Oreo v5.7 ROM. It was a great change and everything else was working fine for a long time.
Fast forward to 2020, I felt the phone was slowing down so I clean flashed AEX Pie v6.7 using TWRP, the ROM worked slick but after some time weird problems started to rise. Here's the chronology of what happened:
1. While using some apps the phone used to freeze, then shutdown. A restart would solve the problem for a while. But the lag used to remain.
2. The same problem repeated after a while but this time the phone went into bootloop.
3. I wiped cache, tried other solutions but nothing worked out so I reflashed the same ROM after a clean wipe. Phone worked fine for a week but then slowed down and finally crashed (This happened 2 times.)
4. After a week it was different, this time the boot animation would get stuck, then the phone would crash. So I reflashed again but when I booted up the phone there was no SIM service, no iMEi, No Wifi, No IP, Bluetooth.
5. I thought this AEX Pie ROM to be a problem so I flashed Arrow OS, Paranoid OS, AEX Oreo version, AEX 10 version but the problem remained: The phone would boot, boot animation stuck, and the phone would crash. This loop is where I am now.
I followed THIS GUIDE and tried reverting back to Official Stock ROM using QFIL. The flash was successful but the phone wouldn't bootup and went into a restart loop.
Here are some more important details:
1. The recovery mode is working fine. I can flash and wipe but I sometimes get the error of "Unable to mount" on Data, System and Cache partition which is solved with a format.
2. I can also get into Fastboot mode, EDL mode for QFIL flash.
3. I can also view all files and folders from TWRP Filemanager.
TLDR; Phone keeps crashing on boot, reverting to stock ROM also leads to restart loop, the phone shows no SIM, Wifi, iMEi, IP, etc. Tried wipe, clean flash, format which is successful but the problem remains. HELP!
"4. After a week it was different, this time the boot animation would get stuck, then the phone would crash. So I reflashed again but when I booted up the phone there was no SIM service, no iMEi, No Wifi, No IP, Bluetooth."
This is caused by bad ROM flashing ( when your flash wasn't entirely successful). You can fix this by reflashing. This could also happen if you downgraded, so go back to the version uou were on and see if this did it. You can fix IMEI with root if you want, I saw a thread for another phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/fix-persist-resolve-imei0-explanation-t3825147 see if this could help.
"Animation Stuck"
This could be a problem with the ROM and data/cache, try factory resetting. Otherwise, it is also a problem with the ROM
In any case, I would redownload and reflash Stock ROM again and see if it still happens.
