I don't know what's going on with this thing, but basically the only mode I can get into is Download Mode, and if I try to flash something using LGFlashTool or LGUP, it stops at 6% and says that communication failed with the phone. I'm not sure what to do next, as I've tried different methods of flashing it, and different flashing programs, and keep getting the same result.
Okay, just to give a bit more info:
When I first got it, I tried to root the phone to install TWMP, but rooting didn't work (not a surprise). For some reason, it DID overwrite my recovery partition, but without the rooting I couldn't even get to it. So the phone itself at this point could only be put into Download mode and regular Android mode. I then tried flashing the stock Bell firmware onto the phone, to try and get it to go back to default. This worked, but it failed at 99% and when I tried to load it, it stuck at the Android Update screen (the one with the green Android robot and the blue bar showing progress), on all modes except Download Mode. Then, when I tried to flash another firmware onto it, flashing failed at 6% saying that it lost connection to the device, and it's been doing that for any attempt to do anything in Download Mode since. No other modes work; they all freeze on the Android Update screen.
I am having the same problem with my lg g3 i can get in twrp mode tho but there is 0mb in all my folders even external sd card wich has stock ROM but it won't read it, always seeing E: unable to mount /data /storage.. lg flash tool gets stuck at 6% like you & when i try adb flash it just stays at waiting for devices..
Yep, just had the same thing happen to me. Can get into TWRP, but can't mount anything, and trying to re-flash the device using Download Mode fails in the same way. Does yours claim it's the old Kitkat install as well?
Update: TWRP is claiming that /system, /data and /cache don't exist at all. The block devices are not listed in /dev (in fact, /dev/block/platform doesn't exist at all). I can't flash the phone; it always freezes at 6% with a communication error. LGUP claims that the current firmware is D85210B, when it was D85220K. I don't know what's going on, and I'm at my wit's end.
Are you using usb 2.0 port and correct dll file.?

Well, it worked the first few times I tried it; I actually tested it out by flashing stock MM, and then flashing stock Lollipop again. It all worked 100%.
Update: I specifically made sure to plug it into one of the motherboard's USB 2.0 ports. Still crashes at 6%. The step in particular is LAF INFO.
As for the DLL file, I'm using LGUP_8974.dll, which as far as I know is the correct one for D852 Bell/Virgin.

Hello, I've spent about the past 5 days trying to figure this out. So, how this started was, a while back when I first got the phone, I wanted 4.4, so I rooted my phone, and tried to flashify a recovery like CWM and TWRP. Both of these failed. I tried many times, and no matter what I tried, flashing always failed. But guess what, my stock recovery was erased in the process. I forgot about it until today, where I found the OTA update to 4.4 was released, and attempted to do it. To my dismay, I forgot I had no recovery mode, and instantly got the "boot certification verify" error screen. Now All I can access is download mode, to my knowledge. So I've been trying to fix this, either by installing stock recovery, or another way to install a custom. All to no avail. When I use the lg flash tool for the stock recovery, it fails at "BIN CRC Check". Every.... Single.... Time. Despite downloading multiple replacement files. I would be perfectly content with installing a customer recovery, but the ways I see require the phone to be on, and use the built in recovery mode. At this point, my phone is bricked, and I am looking for any and all ways to either A) boot back up normally without installing a recovery and fix it later, or B) install a recovery, even if it's the hard way.
Update:
I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
It looked like it was going to work. I am using a Xubuntu virtual machine. I was copying the files over, and every time it finished copying a file, it unmounted and remounted my phone (I don't know if that was suppose to happen, just worth mentioning if it wasn't suppose to). I was super excited to do it. Hard rebooted my phone. And now it's just a blank screen. I have no logo, no error, and no download mode like I had before. Seriously need some help here.
Update#2:
I have the flash tool correctly working. Awesome! But..... I still have no download mode here.... So I can't use the tool....
Lastly, I am aware of the title.... i don't know how that happened. I intended to type "need", but somehow that happened. I do not know how to edit it.
Can you enter recovery?

Ouch bud you are hard bricked pretty much. It sounds to me from what you explained all the partitions are wiped clean. I don't think there is any recovery from that unless you have a nand programmer

Im confused you said you had download mode then didnt? If it works try using the alternate G2 dll named 8974, because the second time I used Flashtool only the alternate dll worked which is weird because just hours earlier I had used the original, the original said wrong model/download failed the second time.

Damn, not even fastboot? Feel sorry for you.
Hey Guys,
First post and i already got a problem because i messed up very much
I used to have Cyanogenmod 11 on my Optimus G, but i got several crashes and i wasnt completely fine with it so i wanted to try something new. So i updated my bootloader from CWM to TWRP and wanted to flash Artmod 5.2 Rom. I was a bit fast with my wiping, so i accidentally wiped the whole phone, so that everything was gone: Cyanogenmod, new Artmod rom i wanted to flash just everything.
I read a bit and thought it shouldnt be a problem then to just sideload the new rom, which i tried to do. I used adb sideload to put Artmod on the phone, everything was fine, flashing went through but i got stuck at the LG boot logo at the start of the phone. I waited like 30 minutes and nothing did change, so i thought something was not right.
I then just wanted to go back to cyanogenmod, tried to flash that through the adb sideload procedure but i got an error which said "error executing updater binary in zip 'tmp/sideload.zip'".
I was kinda thinking something really messed up so i tried to revert the phone to stock rom with the correct KDZ file i searched with the tool linked in the FAQ, everything downloaded but when i tried to flash the KDZ it gave me an error like this:
"12:03:59 Launching SW update
12:03:59 Unpacking KDZ
12:05:10 KDZ file extracted
12:05:11 Extract file error
12:05:13
===FINISH===="
So i searched the forums again and noticed that it should be a problem with the KDZ updater tool because the KDZ file was too big to get flashed properly. I wanted to try the LG Flash Tool 2014 then which is provided here in the forums and should work, it extracted the KDZ file, then opened the LG Mobile Support Tool to flash the file on the phone but there i start to get errors again, it either said that i am already on the correct up to date software version or that i need to disconnect the USB cable, remove the battery, insert it again, restart and try again.
I used several tools for that, i even tried it with an offline method that i found in a german forum, but every method got me the same errors, so i couldn't even go back to stock anymore.
I once tried to flash Cyanogenmod then again when i realized that the error message also told me "This Rom is for a "E975", this is a "GEE"" which i did not completely understand because it should be the total same? I edited the Updater-Script in the Zip file of the rom then and removed the part where it checks for that (1st line actually), then the rom did flash properly, phone started to boot (Cyanogenmod Boot Logo was shown) but when the boot was over i got the message:
"Type Password to Decrypt Storage" with a keyboard to enter the password. (I did never set up any password for that).
Now i am completely confused what i can do the recover my phone, either to stock or just to another rom, every method i tried did not work and i dont have any other ideas.
I can go into Fastboot, Recovery and Downloadmode, but when i tried to wipe again in Recovery it says that it cant mount my data mount point (probably because the storage is encrypted).
Somebody told me to do a hard reset with the keys "Volume down and power" which i tired several times, but everything i get is just the Google boot logo and then happens nothing or i get the Google logo, then the LG logo but after that i get stuck again, I cant seem to go into the "Hard Reset" menu which i should get into with that keys.
Anybody can help me what I could try or got a solution for this? I would be very thankful. I don't wanna loose my phone

Flash Tool 2014 works great for me every time, so try it again. Make sure you disconnect from the Internet before running it (yank out your LAN cable, or disable your WiFi), so it doesn't attempt to connect to LG servers. And don't forget to put your KDZ file in the same directory with the tool. It should go through just fine. That's by far the easiest method to revert back to stock, to get you to a clean starting point.

Umm... No, they are not the same. E975 is "geehrc", and there is no such OEM ID as "gee". There are many different OG variants. For the cross-reference between the models and OEM IDs, you can look here. Generally, you should stick to the ROMs that are designed for your model, unless you know exactly what you are doing, when trying to flash a ROM from a different platform.

Well i tried Flash Tool 2014 again and seem to get the same error that wants me to disconnects as it stops at the same position like it always did, also doesn't matter if I am connected to the internet or not, everytime it doesn't run through. This time I couldn't even read the stuff that was written in the LG Mobile Support tool because it only shows "????".
Heres a Screenshot:
The settings i made should be the right ones I think, the phone does get recognized by the computer when i plug it in because of the sound that windows makes.
I clearly dont't know what I can try anymore...
And according to the roms: well i only used roms for the E975, which is exactly my phone model, thats why i was wondering about that error message i got
Artmod is for E975, the CM11 was for E975, i even tried Mokee rom but i always got same error messages...
Nobody got another idea? I really am confused because if i can enter downloadmode and recovery there should be a way to get my phone back working.
Anybody knows where i can get maybe some older KDZ Files to go to 4.1.2 Stock rom and try to flash these?

I don't know why you are seeing "???", but here is a couple of things regarding the settings, based on your screenshot:
1. Type should be CDMA (yours is 3GQCT).
2. PhoneMode should be DIAG (yours is CS_EMERGENCY).
3. I would suggest using CSE Flash for a full format (you are using Normal Flash).
Remember, this is a hacked tool, so the settings might not make perfect sense, comparing to the original ones. Just try following the instructions in the OP of the Flash Tool 2014 thread. Like I said, works every time for me...

Glad to hear you are back in business. After flashing KDZ, the root is definitely gone, your BL is locked, and the recovery is stock. You will need to do all the necessary steps again: root, unlock the BL and flash custom recovery.
I'd be really grateful for anyone who can help me. I could even pay a small reward if I can get this phone to work.
Factory restore/hard reset doesn't work. I press power to confirm, and it says "confirmed" or whatever the message is and stops there.

No such option in the current LG Mobile Support Tool.
When I start it, it checks for software and says I'm up to date.
It lists "Software version: _" which doesn't seem right.
LGFlashTool:
Fails for me every time.
New USB cord on back ports, have tried different ports.
It gives a PID, correct model and IMEI.
Checks Milky, DLL, bin CRC. I've re-downloaded the bin anyway.
When the phone is reconnected, it shows on COM41 and flashes.
System, tz, boot, rpm, aboot, sbl3/2/1, modem.
Then it says Factory Reset and Reboot sleep time
It then reboots and seems to fail recognizing the phone afterward. It gives error F0000002 and says "Download FAIL!!" at 95 or 99%.
LG Flash Tool 2014:
From what I gathered, there IS NO KDZ for the e980.
It was recommended to me to flash the Central America e980H KDZ to possibly restore the bootloader/recovery.
This gets to about 95% and then the phone reboots to the LG logo and hangs. After several minutes of waiting, it says "Upgrade stopped due to an error" and prompts me to try again after removing the battery. This just happens over and over again.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I've flashed the g, k and p tots. One won't even allow me to enter factory restore. The other two just hang if I do, or hang at the LG logo if I don't.
I've also tried following the instructions to make a restore microSD and tried another pre-built one, but it doesn't seem to boot/restore from the card.
What options do I have left? Can anyone help? Thanks.

Refer hyelton's guide for getting stock rom on our phone. Use the flash tool provided in the thread and probably you will be good to go.

I assume you didn't read the post? Thanks, but that's the first thing I tried, with every compatible .tot and kdz that exists and every LG flashing tool available. I'm not a newb to rooting and unbricking phones. No offense, and I do appreciate that someone finally replied, but if I wanted someone to tell me to RTFM, use the search, or read the stickies I wouldn't have wasted peoples' time with a post and all of the details of what I tried.
I assume at this point that it's pretty well screwed and nothing short of a JTAG will resurrect it, if that even will. I'm leaning toward a hardware fault or something lower level than any firmware/baseband flashing will touch. :/
How did you bricked your phone the first time? Because if you can enter the download mode to use the flash tool, it shouldn't require you to load from the SD card or use jtag to repair the device. Those are the techniques for the device that's completely dead.
Right, but I tried flashing all of the US .tot images as well ask a kdz for central america. I tried flashing using different tools. I have tried literally every possible way that I can find, and it has the same strange problem of hanging at the LG logo and at the "hard reset" factory recovery screen.
It was brought to me as having a "software issue" from a bad update. I wasn't able to determine whether that was factory OTA or flashing a rom, but this thing apparently has some issues that a flash to 100% factory will not resolve. Either it's unable to flash itself through download mode, or it flashes and they all have the same problem afterward. I re-downloaded and re-checked the md5s over and over again. Tried different ports and cables, despite never having had a problem before on this computer with a dozen other devices, several times each.
I'm fairly certain there's a low level firmware or hardware fault so I've ditched the phone. No purpose in continuing the thread unless someone else has the same issue. And in that case, I cannot help without obtaining some kind of adb or fastboot.
Thanks for the replies all the same.
May be the motherboard is the problem?

Stock kdz here
If you ever flashed KDZ to your e980, LGFlashTool will not allow you to flash TOT files by means of Download Mode, because there's a check for device model which doesn't match (that info afaik is based on SBL3 content).
If you have Dowload Mode functioning: (1) flash any KDZ (preferably for the same size of memory, 32GB) and you will have a working phone; (2) root the system; (3) replace boot partitions by those from native e980 installation (all together) by means of dd command; (4) flash native TOT file from Download Mode.
Be very cautious while on p.3. If you do this wrong, you will have a hard brick which will require special tools to fix it.
Hi all long time lurker in the forums made an account today just to make this post so here I go. I was doing the OTA update for lollipop at night and it was taking a really long time so I fell asleep. I woke up in the morning and found my phone to be stuck in a bootloop :crying: looking at various posts I figured a factory reset would be my best option but it didn't work in fact it made my phone worse....It stays on the LG boot up screen for a few minutes then goes to a black screen. I went back to looking at forums again and found a post about how flashing my phone would get it working again but problem is that my computer no longer recognizes my device and fails to connect. Another option I found was to use the system recovery mode and apply update from external sdcard but when I do this I get E: failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument). I've tried 2 sdcards and formatted them both multiple times but I still get the error. I'm not sure what to do and I am willing to try anything.

And do you have any error code or something?

Hi all long time lurker in the forums made an account today just to make this post so here I go. I was doing the OTA update for lollipop at night and it was taking a really long time so I fell asleep. I woke up in the morning and found my phone to be stuck in a bootloop :crying: looking at various posts I figured a factory reset would be my best option but it didn't work in fact it made my phone worse....It stays on the LG boot up screen for a few minutes then goes to a black screen. I went back to looking at forums again and found a post about how flashing my phone would get it working again but problem is that my computer no longer recognizes my device and fails to connect. Another option I found was to use the system recovery mode and apply update from external sdcard but when I do this I get E: failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument). I've tried 2 sdcards and formatted them both multiple times but I still get the error. I'm not sure what to do and I am willing to try anything.

This is what you have to do.
1. Take the battery out
2. Put the battery back in (dont press power button)
3. Press vol up button and connect cable (without pressing power button)
This should lead you to download mode.
If you do get download mode then follow the procedure of LGFLASHTOOL and TOT back to stock
I suggest using ZV6 tot or ZV8 if you were already on LP.
Best of luck!
After flashing the device using the link (finally got it working) it does everything it needs to do but when it reboots on my phone screen is says Factory Reset Status then it has a giant 2 on the screen so I'm not sure where to go from here. In the flash tool at the end it says
Mini OS boot check....
Mini OS status=2
Fail to set mini OS status 3

You did a CSE Flash or a normal flash?
If I was you I would just reflash with the CSE Flash with another kdz, or if you use the TOT, download another one and try again..
If anything change let me know

Tried it with ZV4 and ZV8 so far getting the same thing. About to try it with ZV6 when it finishes downloading the zip.

I'm proud you found it!
Enjoy your device!
Thanks everyone!
Hey guys, I need your help!
I tried to make my long story short, but that didn't work, so here's my complete story:
When everything was fine, I had CM13 running with TWRP 2.8.5.0.
My first intention was to restore a Stock 4.4 Backup and update it to 5.x. After restoring it didn't boot, so I did a factory reset and it worked.
Next I wanted to update to 5.0 via OTA, but that ofc couldn't work because of TWRP.
I knew the only way to update to 5.x was to flash a .kdz an lose all data. I didn't want to do that, so instead I tried to flash the official 30B image from here.
I followed the instructions given in the first post (updated TWRP to 2.8.7.0 too), but after flashing the files and hitting the "reboot system" button in TWRP it booted into TWRP again. I tried flashing again because maybe something went wrong. I even downloaded all the files again to make sure I didn't have a bad download, but no luck. So I restored the previous CM13 6.0.1 rom. At first it didn't succeed because my internal memory was full, but after deleting the 30B files it restored just fine. So when it was ready I hit the reboot button aaaannd it booted into TWRP AGAIN...
I searched the internet and found a "LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery.zip" file, but that didn't help either. (I connected my G3 to my pc using MTP in TWRP to backup all important data, so I don't care if I need to wipe everything.)
Now I knew something went badly wrong and tried using the LG flashtool 2014 for .kdz and another one for .tot files to recover my G3.
Still no luck. When using the 2014 tool and the official 30B kdz it runs till 100% at my phone (at the same time it reaches 80% on my pc at the LG mobile support tool). But then it's only showing the LG logo for some seconds, screen black, lg logo, black, ... an infinite loop.
When using the .tot method I can't get past the "Model Information Check FAIL!" message. It looks like I lost my IMEI because it shows "IMEI: NULL". I got an EFS Backup in a zip file though, so it's not completely lost. I tried both methods on 2 different pc's with win 8.1 and 7 (and win10 for some things), but I always get the same results.
When turning it on using the power button, I see the LG logo followed by a black screen and again the LG logo.
When connecting it to the charger I at first see a charging screen, not the charging animation, but the "loading" battery screen you get before the animation. But after it I get stuck in the above mentioned LG logo.
It's possible to get to the factory reset screen, but I get to the LG logo again after "performing" a factory reset. Note: On the factory reset screen, there is a blue "part" on the top of the screen which looks different compared to when using CM13 and Stock 4.4. The blue color is darker, so I guess, I partly got 30B installed.
I didn't plan to write that much, but I think it's better because I described almost everything I did.
I have no idea what to do now, I tried everything I know and could find on the internet.
So I just hope someone is able to help me getting my G3 working again.
Many thanks!
tl;dr: Only download mode left, but can't succesfully flash any stock rom.
Now... what do u want.... ????
Downgrade from mm to lollipop.... right????
... I can help you... by teamview. Ok

I tried 21A .kdz and 10E or .tot. When using 21A kdz it gives an error. It tells me something like connect my phone again and try again. Only the 30B was kinda flashable.

You mean it's dead, completely? I thought having a download mode and seeing my G3 on my pc with a COM# port is better than seeing some QHBULK_9008 device or similar, where I need to open my G3, connect pins and some sh*t to recover it.

Yes, I already tried the 10E tot. But the problem is that the flash tools gives an error: "Model Information Check FAIL!".

OK.... Now, you flash TOT again with TOT file.... but dont change file DLL you have....
Download... file DLL fix...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0VrTZddvLF7b3Q1b1BlQ2w0clE/view?usp=sharing
Also don't forget: Maybe its because of your OS or even Setup (Hardware/Driver related). Even if it works seemingly at first glance.
That's my experience with all flashing tools that on some machines and setups there will happen some funny stuff and corrupt systems even if its reported to be working initially.
So if you didn't try yet use another PC/Laptop preferably with Windows 7 to 8.0 (only if you disabled driver signatures)
Edit: Also try different USB-Cables.

I already tried 2 PCs, one with 8.1 and another one with 7 (and 10). Both are giving almost the same result. Except the .kdz flash tool crashes on 8.1 at 99%.
I'm using the original USB cable.
