Hello everyone
So about a week ago I restarted my phone and all of the sudden after the Verizon logo appeared it shut down on me. I didn't know what was wrong so I went into TWRP recovery to erase the internal memory and start from scratch but that didn't work either. After the Verizon logo pops up it'll shut down. I can't restart it without taking out the battery. I tried to go into download mode and install the original software but that didn't work either. It'll go into download mode but then again it shuts off. The phone shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the drivers and not LG. I'm guessing it's soft bricked but since it keeps shutting down after boot I have no idea what to do.
Hey Any solution yet? I've had a crap ton of problems with my G3 and just today, it froze, shut down and won't tun on without removing and re-inserting the battery...but the thing is after it the lg logo pops up for about 8 seconds, it shuts down. I can't even get into recovery mode.

Late reply but I can't connect to either wifi or data. The phone literally gets to the verizon screen then shuts off. I tried to reinstall the firmware but that doesn't even work since the phone can't stay booted for longer than 10 seconds. It won't show up in my computer.
Change the battery buy a new one guys
I have exactly the same problem. I had my LG G3 for over a year, sometimes it shut off after heavy use but yesterday it just started shutting off during boot, it won't pass the LG logo screen.
I tried putting 2 other perfectly working batteries (tested with other phone) and it didn't work.
Now it simply won't turn on completely!
we have to take it to LG about this, I didn't expect to have a high-end phone die just after the warranty expires just like that!
if anyone has a solution or a possible cause to this problem I would highly appreciate it.

My wifes LG G3 got the lollipop update (I presume) but it got stock at 22% at the firmware update screen. After 2 hours my wife apparently got tired of it and took the battery out. The phone now repeats the procedure on boot and instead gets stuck at 23%.
What can be done here? Stock unrooted.
ps: googled for a good 15 minutes before posting but found little information on what to do.
Can you enter in download mode?
Turn off the phone and press Volume Up + power and hold
I get "Hardware key control mode" menu cancel mode on mode off. Seems unrelated to download mode?
Not related.
I believe your only hope is repair shop.
You have waranty?
Yeah she still has warrenty and it hasn't ever been rooted so should be fine. The problem was more of the nature wife needing phone NOW
I GOT DOWNLOAD MODE. Did the UP+connect usb cable instead, how do I use this to unbrick the little sucker?
Flash KDZ manually.
You can find files and tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
In fact download mode only worked once, then it stopped working stopping at the lg logo screen. Guess it's just to go to the repairshop tomorrow
I too am facing the same problem. I connected the phone to my PC on which I have the LG PC Suite installed.
The suite prompted for a firmware update for which I clicked. The download took forever and then the update started but during the process the phone had to restart after the first part and the phone keeps repeating its logo with music.
The suite is downloading another update (possibly the second part), but this will also take forever and I don't know whether the phone battery will hold up with its perpetual logo start-up.
This is real crappy my wife's phone just ended up at the shop. 4 weeks to get it back. Thanks LG.
Hey,
my phone is not turning on,not entering recovery mode, not entering download mode, not entering the hard reset mode, not recognised by the PC and not charging.
2 months ago i reached my phone and he had "black screen". took the battery out,turned the device on and he got black screen again. took the battery out again but it back in and turned on the device again, entered the menu and it got stuck. took the battery out and in,turned the device on and it happened again.
I wanted to reach the settings menu to restore the phone but couldnt get to it because the phone froze. so i decided to perform a hard reset.
I did this, the screen was black for 10 minutes (could see it is turned on), the the android logo was on the screen with a loading bar,and then the screen went off. waited another 15 minutes and tried to turn it on,and it did not respond.
what can i do to make it work?
Did you make any software modifications to it prior to the problem occuring

I had the same problem, with black screen, but mine showed LG logo bootloop, tried everything, without success, I send it to a service, waited almost two months, they said dead mmc and replaced motherboard under warranty. Hope you will resolve this...
Hello
I am new to working on these phones so I apologize in advance if I don't properly state any processes or terms correctly.
I have a stock non modded Verizon LGG3 VS985 that experienced problems with WiFi and Bluetooth not working and significant battery drain. This happened right after a recent update to marshmallow. I tried cache clearing, safe mode, hard reset and nothing solved the problem. I decided I wanted to take the phone back to factory condition. I started with the LG flash tool that uses the .tot and a .dll. I ran the flash and when the program got to approx. 80%(at checking mini os phase of the flash) the phone began to reboot and only got as far as the LG logo and after about 2 min of the phone trying to reboot the flash program said fail, usb connect or something like that. At this point the phone will only start and go into a loop that includes the vibrate and the LG logo. and that will cycle until I believe the battery would die if allowed. I then found a link here at XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140) that uses the KDZ method, was well written and easy to follow. I ran it on the phone and it was going great. The flash program got to 88% and the phone went into the boot loop with the vib and LG logo . The flash program continued to run until it was complete while the phone was in the boot loop and it got to 100% and said that the software installed. I powered down the phone via battery removal and now when it tries to boot it vibes, shows the lg log and then the green android symbol shows for about 2 seconds and then it does it all over again. I have tried a hard reset and nothing changes. I appreciate any ideas any of you may have on what I can try to get this resolved. Thank you.

Not sure I understand the question completely, but I did place the phone in download mode as per the method you mention prior to both attempting the KDZ method and the TOT method of going back to stock.
Well my G4 (VS986) has been running ok on 13b rooted since december 2015, and today it suddenly died, it was on my desk and when I tried to use it the screen was black and it won't turn on, something like this had happen before but I usually just remove the battery and voila it had it working again. But not this time.
Now It only goes to the LG screen and then it turns off again (but it doesn't bootloop) so I keep trying then I connected the phone to the charger and it tried to boot again and this time it went to a black screen saying Secure Booting Error and it was error code 1007 but it went off again.
Then I tried to access recovery mode and it can access and be there for 40 min and it wont turn off, however I can't put it on download mode alway when is connected to the PC it says "qhsusb_bulk"
Anyone have any idea on what happen and how to fix it.
Thanks.
Nevermind.. Say hello to a new bootlooping LG G4 !!
I put it on the freezer and after 20 minutes the phone boot up normal, but after a few minutes it went the famous boot loop.
Time for a new phone
Hi everyone,
First to begin, sorry for my frenglish.
My lovely G3 seems to be bricked since few days.
5 days ago, after a reboot, it stucked 30 sec on the moving LG logo screen and turned off. I tried to enter into TWRP, I had the TWRP menu but it suddenly shut off again. My battery was getting old , so I bought a new one ( a Polarcell).
Now I can't even get TWRP. When I switch on, I have sometimes LG logo five sec, sometimes just a black screen.
If I connect on USB, the device is not recognised (error 43).
If I try the download mode, I have the first screen with "download" written in very small and after a few seconds: black screen and device not recognised.
I installed LG drivers, Qualcomm driver... nothing much...
I'm kind of desperate, can't affort to buy a new mobile phone.
If someone has any advice... many thanks
Fred
I entered again into TWRP... but maybe 10 secondes after the screen shut off....

Same thing happened to me, remove your battery wait 5 minutes, try again, it will last longer, also could you try flashing your latest stock rom with LGUP and report back? Mine doesn't bootloop only on latest stock.
Thanks, but the G3 was without battery during 2 hours.... I wonder how I will be able to flash anything :-/

You can try unbricking like this. Try to enter to bootloader mode without dealing with shorting the pins first, if you can make it enter into bootloader mode, you don't need to the short pins.
Thanks for the link, I had already read that but it's not very very clear. By te way, I think I 'll have to do the short pin because my G3 is not recognised as a Qualcomm, and USB keeps connecting disconnecting whend the screen is black.
