Hi all, I've had some issues with my G3 and have got to the point where I need the advice of wiser heads to try and fix the problem!
The phone seemingly died during an update a few weeks ago, but I was able to fix it using LG's tool and upgrading to Marshmallow. Then a few days ago with no warning the phone froze, and gets stuck in a bootloop at the LG screen, with the flashing LED. If I try to factory reset, I just end up with the Android Droid with a red triangle and I can't get any further. I've tried numerous guides I've found to try and reinstall the stock firmware, all without success. (I haven't tried accessing bootloader as I have download mode available). LG's own tool gets stuck at 4% when I try to recover, and I've tried the LG Flash Tool but get an error at 6% (LAF_READ_GPT_FAILED) using the 8974 dll. I've also tried the LGUP tool but that gets stuck at 6% (Error can't communicate with phone[Kilo Packet]. The phone was not rooted and is a 16GB UK version (model D855). I just seem to be going in circles now trying to find a solution, I suspect somewhere along the line I'm using the wrong combination of programs/TOT/DLL files so I could really do with someone pointing me in the right direction here!

Hi all,
I just bought a Nexus 9 and I am selling my G Pad to a friend. I was running the V18 build and been happy with it ever since it appeared. However, today I tried to factory reset the device and it just boot looped complaining of a secure boot error, presumably as I was rooted. I tried to restore the tablet by using the official LG tool and the "Update Recovery" method yet that fails at 4% each and every time. I then tried to do the method found here (which I remember working, but not sure how I got it to work months ago). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692505
I have the drivers all installed okay, the PC is finding the tablet fine, however when trying to flash the TOT file I get "Download Fail" at the same point every time with an error like "00064" every time. I think this could be due to the low batttery and I have no left it charging in download mode (if this does charge?).
I'm not sure what else I can try now, the tablet is stuck in download mode and I cannot do anything with it, any help is appreciated and I can provide info to be more clear if needed.
Thanks all,
Tom.
Hi, I've had the same problem. For me the only solution was to install Windows XP (English version) and the progress bar magically skipped 4th percent. I think it has something to do with LG TOOL not being compatible with some Windows (languages) versions. You can give it a try, please let us know if it worked.
Hello, I wanted to unroot my phone from SuperSU, using the Fully unroot thingy that it has. After letting it be for awhile i realized it was just only at the bootup screen where the LG logo is and blue light was slowly blinking. Now I've tried LG flash tool to get me back to factory settings and I've tried different .kdz files, none of them seems to work. Furthest I got: I saw the firmware's name on my phone screen for a few seconds and then it dissappeared. Always LG Flash Tool fails after 9% and it says "Upgrade stopped due to an error." I have no idea what to do anymore with my phone. Any help is appreciated! Computer only recognises my phone when it's in firmware update mode.

So, some time ago I finally gave up on LG providing official nougat update for LG G4 so I decided to flash it and I found an official flash v29a, and everything went well.. except for my GPS. The GPS was not locking on and would take more than 100 seconds sometimes to lock on, I did not had this issue before so I decided to flash my device again hoping it would fix it, but it bricked my phone.
Now I can't reinstall or downgrade, since it would get stuck at 16% when flashing again and downgrade wont work at all. I get error 0x2000 "Invalid command Response". I have been trying to fix it for more than 6 hours now, downloading different KDZ's but it just won't work. I really need help here, I cannot afford a new phone right now. I have LG H818p version. And yes, I was using the correct version for upgrade/downgrade. I tried to hard reset it but it is still stuck on Firmware update. Urgent help is needed, since I don't have another phone to use and I really need this phone, been up all night trying to fix it..
Edit: Fixed it, don't know how tho
Hello from Sweden!
I have had an LG G3 for quite a while now just laying around due to issues I ran into with it after unsuccessfully rooting it, those issues specifically was Factory Reset Status 2.
I've been reading around that flashing it with stock firmware can work, and that's something I've tried but haven't seemed to have such success with as I've tried both the KDZ method and TOT method.
With the KDZ method, using the LG Flash Tool 2014 I kept on receiving errors that the tool couldn't communicate with servers and I never seem to run into any success no matter the flash mode I chose (CSE or Normal).
When doing the TOT method, however, I seemed to get a bit further (it felt like at least). When running the LG FlashTool v1.8 I selected manual mode, selected the TOT (LGD855AT-V10e-EUR-16G) and DLL file (LGD855_20140526_LGFLASHv160) I had downloaded for the LG G3 D855, I also made sure that I was using the action mode "UPGRADE DL" and the connection method "USB" in the software.
I click on the yellow arrow to continue and "READY!!" shows up on Port 1 and I then replug the phone and "Waiting for connection" shows up in the box and I wait a few seconds and it begins, but almost instantly ends giving me the error "Model information Check failed!".
Honestly, at this point, I am fully unaware of what to try. I am willing to provide more information if required to get assistance with this, I am willing to try almost anything to get this phone working no matter if I lose all data or not.
I'm thankful for all tips I get provided to attempt to fix this.
Hello, I would like to ask if my LG G3 is softbricked or hardbricked. It has been a long while since it decided to boot loop. I tried to fix it but got no results. I tried to factory reset it, but the next day it didn't turn on anymore and got stuck in the logo. Note : the phone was experiencing some heating issue before it decided to screw itself up. I tried numerous troubleshooting from the net, none worked. I also did try to reinstall the firmware to stock again, it did boot but it can't get to the home screen. I then factory reset it again and tried using another firmware also built for my phone (it's LG G3 D855). It failed again at 33% while it was in the firmware update mode. Now that I have left it for a solid year, I thought that it would be nice to try again. Which I did, but it couldn't charge anymore and it cannot boot to the logo. I tried to go to the download mode but no response. I tried connecting it to my computer, but it only detects my phone as a charge only device, it also detects it on only several random occasion. I hope this is a softbrick and it can be fixed at home so I don't need to go to the store to repair it.
I'm sorry for the long explanation, I had been trying to revive it for months now and had no luck. How do I fix this, at least how do I get to the firmware update download mode again? I really really hope that anyone can help. Thankyou so much in advance.
