Ok so here's how it all started:
My phone was randomly shutting off and rebooting on its own. At first, I thought it was overheating because the phone was very hot and when it cooled down, the problem was somewhat fixed.
Now, the phone randomly shuts off and reboots 90% of the time and I don't know why. It has a bootloop problem, but for some reason, I can occassional get my phone to load fully if I plug it in to charge, but it goes back into a bootloop after a few minutes or use. I tried a factory reset and it didn't work. In fact, it bricked my phone as it's now in a bootloop.
I tried a normal Flash using LG Flash Tool 2014 but for some reason it always crashes. First, it gives me a "Connection to server failed" error. But for some reason, the LG Tool keeps working as the status bar % goes up during the "upgrading phone" phase. However, when it reaches 99%, the LG Flash tool crashes. I tried both a normal Flash AND a CSE Flash. Both didn't fix the problem. It could be because the Flash Tool crashed, but nowhere on this forum does anyone talk about a fix to the "connection to server failed" error or the LG Tool crashing. Now after the initial flash, however, my phone does turn on and load up, but I get the same issue as before where the phone would crash/reboot after less than a minute of use. Then it bootloops after.
Am I the only one with this problem? If you have a solution, please let me know! My phone's useless at the moment. If I you can figure out why my flash tool crashes, that would be great too because if I can get the tool not to crash, it might flash properly.
Please and Thank you.
I have a LG G3 D855 International (Taiwan Version TW) running Lollipop 5.0
Have you tried the lg flash tool without the 2014 after it? I mean using the dll and tot files?
Usually if one does not work for me the other does. Just depends on how my phone decides to work lol

Sadly, I can't use the TOT method because they don't have my version which is Taiwan TW D855.

hi there. when you turn your phone on does the LG logo just coming in and out slowly? like blinking slowly? if yes, try to buy a new battery. i had that same problem. i cant even use my phone anymore because it just kept on shutting down. i can only use my phone when its plug into a wall charger. when i remove it to the wall charger it shuts down and the LG logo will start to come in and out as if blinking slowly. i tried factory reset a lot of time but didnt solve the problem. so i went to the LG service center and they just put in a new battery and it worked fine after..

I have a G3 D855 taiwan versión, too.
download the latest kdz and flash it. who knows the one you are trying to flash is corrupted.
ignore this message "connection to server failed" .
try to use different usb ports and get a new battery just in case.
Hi...i have the same problem.
Did you find any solutions.
Thanks in advance

Try using a spare battery if you have one, might fix the problem?
Thanks It did solve the problem.

Thats great! Same thing is happening to me, my new battery is on the way. Hopefully it will work
Same symptoms here - started as random reboots under heavy load or using the camera, so tried reflashing from v21a LL KDZ.
Then bootlooping just after the LG logo, occasionally getting as far as fully booted, but then restarting near immediately.
Doesn't happen when connected to power.
Tried a different battery, and no problems.
Tried my battery in another G3 - identical behaviour there.
Note: also happens on Marshmallow.
Solution: New battery!
Thanks to posters above.

you can try rom TOT, you can change ver 10a, or 10b.... then...(if flash success in 10x TOT), kdz again into 20x
Hi Guys I have a problem. I have a rooted LG G3 D855 with v2.8.6.0 TWRP and Blisspop ROM. Now my problem is that I was running SparTaxx ROM on it since yesterday. Today all of sudden it switched off and then I tried to turn on but it wasn't turning on... After removing battery and trying 2-3 times it turned on and then I went to TWRP and quickly flashed Blisspop ROM so that I can get things working and be on the safe side. Now after flashing it successfully the device isn't booting properly and getting switched off. It is not turning on at all. Only when I charge it it turns on then switches off.
There could be 3 cases which I am thinking but I could be wrong
1) Device is R.I.P
2) Battery needs to be changed
3) The device will either get repaired by some repair centre or maybe it wont work...
What do you think guys?
Any guidance or help is appreciated.
I think that is better for you flash a stock firmware with the LG Flash Tools in case of needs of warranty.
Is only an advice.
Hello everybody at the LG G3 part of XDA,
A friend of mine has an LG G3 and his phone broke. So he asked me to fix it. I myself am an Oneplus One user.
So the problem is really simple to explain. The phone doesn't work when there isn't a charger plugged in. When there is a charger plugged in everything is fine and the phone works normally.
So my friend tried to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat ( I don't know what he exactly did ). He doesn't have much knowledge about phones so ofcourse it went wrong.
Here is a video of what happens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP8MUPsANes
I already did a full reset with the LG flash tool and put the stock 4.4.2 Kitkat rom on it.
I have also checked the battery and it has a normal voltage of 3.8v. My friend also told me that he already swapped the battery in a store.
I do not know anything about a stock recovery of an LG G3, but I tried to acces it and I could get in to the hard reset screen but when opted Yes for everything it got stuck in that same "bootloop". When the phone is in the Hard reset menu then it wil stay ON without a charger. In all other cases it wil stay in a "bootloop"
I asked another friend of mine who has a lot of experience with phones. He said that it might have something to do with the a file that keeps the battery in check in the bootloader or the recovery, but he wasn't sure which one.
Update: When I am on the lockscreen and I disconnect the charger the phone stays on until I touch the screen than it shutsdown immediately
Try to flash lastest kdz of your g3 model

Replace your battery. This is what happened to my phone last september, I thought it was a software related issue, but when I tried to insert my friend's G3 battery, it just boot normally. I think this is a common problem of the phone/battery.
P.S. I tried running stock again, tried on CM, AOSP, etc. but can't make my phone to boot without being charged, until I replace my battery...
Hi
First of all, sorry for my english, it's not my native language
So, I have a problem since yesterday. I was on Fulmics 5.0 since one month but now my phone shutdown by himself and won't reboot or bootloop, i must try a lot of time and it reboot
I thought it was due to my ROM so i updated it from 5.0 to 5.1 with a clean installation (full wipe) but the problem is here, again ...
Furthermore, my SIM card isn't detected everytime. Sometimes, I need to reboot my phone because on first boot, it doesn't ask me for my PIN code
What can i do ?
I have a save of an old rom (made in octobre 2015) but it was on 5.0 (and now my phone is on 6.0), can i restore it to try ?
Thanks
Instead of flashing your backup, I would suggest you to flash the official .kdz ( L or MM )
And for bootloops, It can be your battery ( the same was happennig on my old Nexus 5 )
To be sure that's it your battery fault, try to get the phone down to 10%
If it bootloops, try to boot with charge plugged and if it boots, it means it's battery fault
It's not my battery, it's the software
I've just restored my backup (october 2015) and my phone is working well (for the moment)
I will download the .kdz for MM and i'll stay on official i think because i always have some problems with non-stock ROM
Problem is here again i think ...
SIM isn't always detected
But it's not the battery because i have the problem of shutdown/bootloop even when my phone is plugged
EDIT: problem is still here with a backup ... I don't know what to do...
Well maybe the battery is a problem too ... Now the phone bootloop and i need to plug it then it's ok (but sometimes it will boot without being plugged so ...)
But my battery is full ...
The phone is still in warranty, i will use it on tuesday (in france, tomorrow is "holidays" ), I hope they will repair it, if they can't ... I'll go to an other phone, S7 looks great
hi
i have update my lg g3 from lollipop to MM
then the problem start
the phone take about 10 - 12 hours to charge
when i was using lollipop it takes about 2 hours
i try FulmicsROM but no change happen
is this battery problem or i should downgrade to lollipop
thnx
You can try downgrade to LL and check charging. If it's okay it means there is software problem, if problem persists you should first try with another 1.8A+ charger and if problem is still present you should go buy a new geniue battery.
