You could try downloading LG Bridge (http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000025-1438110404543-preinstall-apps) and then connect the G4 to it. Then, once LG Bridge detects the phone, try clicking on "Update error recovery", and let me know how that goes.

I was trying out a kitkat kernel which was for our kitkat official but I stupidly used it on an aosp rom and then my phone would only boot into cwm recovery and then I factory reset and it now doesnt even turn on, it shows up on my laptop but im running windows 8 and i havent been able to use the unbrick methods. If anyone can help out it would be appreciated and if i need to send it to LG i know i have breached warranty so what should i say to them?
Thanks!
Can you get into download mode?
Make sure the phone is off. Hold volume up and down at the same time and plug you USB cable into your phone, your phone should go into download mode.
It wont turn on at all, its like all the partitions have been corrupted. I cant get into download mode and when i go into adb it say (fault device) so I think ill need to send it back to LG

Sometimes if you try to charge the phone for a really long time (say 12 to 18 hrs at stretch) - the phone starts to turn on. Try that. and see if you can boot into download mode.
Also, when you give it to LG ... tell them that it is not turning on, thats it...
ok, i tried charging it but nothing happened so ill send it to them and just say that it wont turn on. Thanks!
Once they get it booted up and see the custom kernel and Rom they are most likely going to charge you full price for another phone and of course will not honor any warrantee. As long as you're ok with that go ahead and sent it back for a replacement. with that bein said, it's probably best you tell them the truth so you get accurate info from them ahead of time.

Hi all,
I just tried to flash Android 5.0.1 kdz on my LG optimus G Pro F240L. The flash was unsuccessful, and all I ended up was with a Download mode. Previously It was on stock 4.1.2. I don't have any recovery installed. Please help me recover my phone. I just bought it (used) yesterday I tried different flashing methods but all in vain

It gives if you are connected to internet. You need to dc from internet then run LG flash tool. Once it starts flashing (after 5%), you can connect to internet again.
well, I'm going to sell it now.. I bought it used on olx and yesterday and today I found that it's rear camera is replaced with a third quality camera.... I'll buy Nexus 4 then

I flashed Fulmic rom for my G3 D855 today. Everything was well when I discovered until I discovered, that camera app is not showing. The fix was to download the fix from Fulmics app and flash it via TWRP. I downloaded the fix and rebooted to install the fix. After reboot I got stuck in bootloop, when I try to access recovery, it goes to TWRP first logo and stays there. Nothing happens. When I try to access download mode, it shows the first download mode logo and stays there. Computer detects the phone in device manager as "LGE Android MTP Device". LGUP shows model as "Unknown". Cant do nothing more. Every help is appreciated.
Are you sure you flashed the fix ? Because it seems like you flashed something else that messed up your device

Can't enter twrp, just shows TEAMWIN logo with blue background and stripes. Nothing more happens.
Download mode text shows up, pc makes connection sound but I dont know what to do after that. I tried using LGUP but that showed that model is "Unknown".
Ah, try lg flash tool 2014 or lg flashtool (and a tot file), find a thread by hyelton (lg g3 get back to stock), this will help you

I have tried this method also. Every time at 4% it says, error, remove battery and then reconnect and turn on phone. After that, connection with pc is lost.
Also, when I try to get to Download Mode, it should go then to Firmware update screen to? Am I right about that? If so, then it doesn't go to Firmware update screen.
But I tried it with a kdz I had in my computer and had used before. Downloading .tot file atm.

I didn't had the same issue as you, but had a similiar one (phone didn't get discovered neither by LGUP nor LG Flash Tool). Yesterday I fixed it by following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
In particular the part where you change your device to COM41 in the device manager.
After you get it discovered by LG Flash Tool flash an official KDZ.
Reboot the phone and connect it to your Windows, allow the connection from the phone screen.
It should promt you to install drivers on the computer, do that (they are different from LG Drivers you download from the web mind you)
Now you can change your COM port back to 3 and everything should be fully discoverable by both LGUP and LG Flash Tool.
I think I replied to you on reddit (same photo) Have you tried plugging the phone in while in download mode ? Did you try installing drivers from the internet ? Coz thats how I fixed the same problem you have.

Exactly, here I am running around in circles over this BOOST Stylo 2, just got it with MM 6.0.1 out of the box 2 days ago. I caught the 454.4mb update it has been trying to do! Got that baby downloaded! 1.02gb unzipped and renamed to kdz. Got a script for Terminal that will replace Kingroot's temp root with SuperSU but I am not going to attempt any further until I know LGUP will recognize and flash my .zip the bas****s deem not worth enough to put up for download on LG's site!
I got LGUP to recognize it in download mode, reads out LGLS775 but still says it cannot open it...............
His info on how he got it to work would prolly have solved this dillema..............
oh well
zach
ok had a LG G3 that's done this- as long as you can get download mode it should recover, YOU need to use the LG mobile support tool from LG website ( LG UP sees phone as unknown model ) run LG mobile Support tool and in option choose UPGRADE RECOVERY . follow instructions and allow to start process, it took 57 minutes to repair my phone - it will seem frozen anywhere from 0% to about 22% JUST WAIT IT OUT!! lg up / twrp flashes in 5 to 10 mins -- the LG m.s.t writes block by block and takes 1 hour +
so hints and info took 3 goes to find and start upgrade recovery - error on a couple of attempts. phone seems frozen around 10% and 15% of firmware upload -- go make a coffee drink it, go pee then come back and worry! A watched pot never boils!....

It didn't. It's EVEN MORE broken :'(
I figured out how to get my PC to recognize my D851. Apparently all the LG software didn't like how many COM ports I have. As soon as I unplugged everything else from my PC, the software worked. In this case, it was LG Flash Tool 2014, but I couldn't get any of them to work before.
Try running LGUP as Admin!!! For me it worked!

Hope someone can help me. I flashed a rom for a d855, d855g30 I think, and although I can access download mode all aps for flashing fail saying it's the wrong model number. Even the generic DLL file cant trick it. It still starts booting the rom but boot loops before entering. I no longer have twrp and when I try to do safe mode or factory reset I get a boot validation error or something similar. Just seem to be stuck. Im using a VS985.
One cause of LGUP "UNKNOWN"
While an old thread, it'll be found in searches. For anybody who gets "UNKNOWN" device with LGUP for the LG G3, I found that LGUP for the G3 is often distributed with the wrong DLL file. See the details here, post #11. After installing LGUP, make sure that the "model" subdirectory in the LGUP program directory is the same number as the processor in your phone, in my case c:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8974 (was 8994 with the "LGUP for G3" I downloaded).
HTH
Long story short, I tried flashing an older version of the firmware because I was having constant wifi issues even with a factory reset.
Everything went well, the phone rebooted with the android character on its back with the trunk open and the progress bar loaded until it froze. Now every times I try to boot it there's the droid on its back with the frozen loading bar.
Then when trying again to flash the stock rom using the COM41 LG flash tool, it keeps saying ''communication failed with device''
Here's everything I tried:
-De-installing and re-installing the LG drivers
-Tried the LG Flash tool method with 4 different computers and I still have the communication failed with device error
-The qualcom 9008 method where you need to short the ground with another pin
-Tried using LG's own tool from their websites to try updating or use the update recovery and it still gave the communication error
I can still boot it into download mode so there is still hope right?
Which is very annoying is that I still have 175$ to pay on it and LG's ''one price repair'' costs 150$...
Thanks in advance for your advices

I've found the LGUP tool on the G5 thread and I've unlocked the hidden features. Except I keep having the communication failed issue.
Both the LGUP and LG Flash tool make the same results it gets up to 6% says: ''LAF with a few numbers LAF 567.878.XXX as example'' then gives the failed to communicate with device

Looks like I'm pretty much in the same situation . I used to have a galaxy S4, every time I thought it was dead I would find a way to bring it back to life. Even my other G3 "D851 model from T-Mobile" which I did about the same manipulations in the same goal and didn't have any issues with it.

Yes! That's the worst thing! I can set it to COM PORT 41. Then when I start the Flashing with LG Flash Tool, the phone displays COM 41 in green and the complete name of the .tot file even appears of the screen of the phone!

If you used LGUP that definitely the reason your phone is in the state it's in. If i buy a cheap g3 off of somewhere and downgrade it I'll never use LGUP. lg flash tool is your best option though I'm getting a g6, cause the g3 is old now i think you should upgrade if an upgrade is your thing the i got some good phones on my list. But if you're gonna stick with the g3 then they sell 'em for pretty cheap and if you're gonna downgrade to 4.4.2 kk then use lg flash tool. If you're gonna downgrade to 5.0 or upgrade (not really) to 6.0 then use the modified lg flash tool 2014. All i gotta say is you're phone is done i learned it the hard way

Yeah :/ it'll teach me to stop wanting to crack every phone that falls in my hands. Just to bad I still owe money on it though. I doubt selling it on auction for parts on eBay would even be worth it.
I got the same problem with my LG G3 D852. I have tried multiple USB cables and USB ports. I can get into download mode easily, factory reset just returns to the same problem with a Droid open hatch and spinning wired shape and a bar on the bottom. I have tried LG flash tool and LGUP, but both fail at 6% with a communication error. I think the problem is my USB cable, but that is just my guess. I have followed the guides on the forms on this site, that is the only conclusion I can come up with.
