LS990 Stuck on frozen download screen - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, so I was about to reroot my g3 but my lgflash tool was still opened and it started to install stock (again) on my phone. I made a mindless move and pulled the USB out right as it started. This caused the download screen to hang at 0%. Now I've tried LG pc suite and using lgflashtool as well as button combos but nothing works. I'll pull the battery out but when I power on again it just goes back to a frozen download screen automatically. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Bricked Phone?

Yesterday I was backing up my phone through the third party recover screen when my phone shut off during the recover (I think I may have hit the power button?). Now when I try to start the phone when it's not plugged in I don't get any response from the phone. I can get to the fast boot screen but selecting recover mode just leads to a grey screen that says google on it for a second then the screen shuts off. I tried the LGNPST recovery method but the phone gets stuck in a loop at 67% where it shows the LG logo, the screen shuts off for a moment then back to the LG logo again. I've tried all the methods I can get my hands on, does anyone have any alternatives?
I thought I'd update this so that people that google their symptoms and come here have an answer.
I can't link to the youtube video but its called "Disconnect Battery LG Optimus G Sprint"
Pulling the battery fixed everything after installing the stock rom from LGNPST
Thanks to the folks in the IRC for help!

[Q] LG G3 stuck at firmware update

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.

LG G3 - Boot Loop and problem with download mode

Hi.
My phone stopped responding today so I removed battery and turned it on again. But all I see is LG logo. When I choose hard reset it just goes back to LG logo and nothing happens.
I can go in download mode (download mode title on screen and nothing else, same as here: https://cdn-images.xda-developers.com/direct/2/8/1/4/2/5/7/image2.png) but my PC doesnt see my phone. So I cant try to fix via PC Suite or just flash stock rom again.
Phone is unrooted, stock 20f rom.
Please help me

Still stuck in LG logo bootloop after using LGUP

Hi, I have an LG G3 VS985 on 47a (according to LGUP) and I recently tried installing an OTA update that I have been putting off for a while. During the update I got an error that froze the updating process so I pulled the battery. After pulling the battery I can not get passed the LG logo in the beginning. The logo will show up, turn black for a few seconds, vibrate, then restart again. I tried downgrading using the TOT and KDZ methods but kept getting a no ks version error or some other type of problem. So then I decided to use the newest 48a KDZ file and LGUP to update/overwrite what I have installed right now. The process starts and the phone shows that the installation is working but when LGUP gets to the point where it has to restart the phone (about 80%), it just keeps bootlooping instead of going on with the installation. I tried clearing cache, factory resetting, and everything else I can think of. I read that the bootloader might be corrupted? If that is the case, how would I go about fixing it? Thanks in advance.
Edit: Another strange thing happens when I plug my phone into a charger from the off state. Instead of showing how much battery is charged, it just shows a loading circle on the battery picture then proceeds to restart into the loop (without me touching the power).
Exact same problem I'm having
1 difference my led light does not work . Is there a fix? Need help

Verizon LGG3 VS985 not booting

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.
