My G3 is stuck on the booting screen and nothing works. I can't go to recovery menu. But I can hear my notifications, no calls though.
I tried to root my G3 using kingroot then replacing it with SuperSU. I restarted the phone after just to see if it's ok then this happened. It wouldn't start up. It just shows the "LG: life's good" thing and doesn't do anything else. I can't even go to recovery or download menu.
Now soon I am going to send it for repair. There is important stuff in my phone though such as pictures, text messages, my gmail and other accounts.
Will they be able to see it if they manage to repair my phone? a relative told me that I erased my android operating system..
Hopefully someone will help me here.
I'm no expert regarding phones with LG ROMs, but you might have had a locked bootloader. If i remember correctly, my old G2 needed its bootloader unlocked before doing any fancy stuff. I now have a G3 and i'm terrified to do anything to it. (After some nasty Soft & Hard bricks on my G2)
Can you explain better what you mean by "replacing Kingroot with SuperSU". Did you have both installed at the same time or what? Some people had problems with Kingroot that it would lose root after you reboot it (G3)
You say you can hear notifications, how can you hear them if you're not booting the OS? You said it's stuck at LG logo.

Ok I managed to get to the factory reset screen by holding the power and volume down button. I confirmed it, it said "Factory reset processing" then "erasing.." with the android logo for like 2 seconds, then it disappears and goes back to the boot loop.

I'm in download mode with the USB connected to my PC. it says "Firmware update" and has been sitting at 0% for very long.
Of course. See the guide from hyelton about getting back to stock on lg g2 and g3. Get your kdz gor d722 and flash it via lg flash tool 2014 (or use lg mobile support tool and let it do it automatically)

so i have the sprint lg g2 ms980 with the lastest kit kat update. i was trying to manually install cyangenmod OS but i used the autorec app to access recovery instead of using the hard keys. it is know to cause white lines on the screen and there is a usable fix. i have done and fixed it before. however the most recent time using the app has caused the white lines to become much more severe. i can no longer see anything on my device it will not shutdown only soft reset. that i am aware of, because i cannot see anything, i cannot access download mode or restore mode. also the computer no longer recognizes the device. please help me i am not completely ignorant on these matters but this goes over my head.
If you have custom recovery, just hope power down until screen shuts off. Keep holding down, as lg screen comes up. When it disappears and the screen goes dark. Let go. Phone will be powered down.
Hold volume down and power. Keep them both held down until it says loading recovery.

okay so i fixed it. umm there were alot of steps involved. you must flash each partition individually and extract them from .tot file. then you can change com to 41 and use lg flashtool to restore to stock rom zv7-zvc. i have not seen the zvd.tot file but the zvd update has relesed for sprint. if more detail neccessary repy.
No tot die zvd. Just a little update. Where zvc was a major change.

Bump look up
I'm on T-Mobile, and I upgraded from a G3 to a G4. Ordered the G4 from T-Mobile yesterday, got it a few hours ago. Earlier today, I went through the restore process for the G3 using the LG Flash Tool (essentially following these steps here). That all went fine. Shortly after that, without thinking, and without closing the LG Flash Tool, I plugged my G4 into my computer to charge it. I got confused for a moment when I noticed it restarting. The Flash Tool had picked it up, and was setting up to push the G3 firmware to it. I panicked, and unplugged the phone from the computer, right as the phone went to the "Firmware Update" screen. Now, whenever I turn it on, it just goes straight to "Firmware Update". Won't enter recovery mode, etc, etc... No matter what, just "Firmware Update".
Any help?

You done goofed OP. i dont think g3 method works on G4 from what ive heard. can you try to hard reset the phone? or if not connect to computer and use the terminal or ADB(i think its called) to restart to boot to the recovery menu

Well, it has the same download mode as the G3 (which is unfortunately the only thing it will boot into), so technically I should be able to flash the firmware the same way, only problem with that is, because it's so new, the .dll and .tot files aren't available anywhere.
I tried a hard reset from the phone, didn't work. I couldn't get ADB to pick up the device (since it only boots into download mode), so I couldn't reboot into recovery via ADB
Took it into a T-Mobile store, they couldn't do anything, as expected. Notated my account, and said to call. New phone was ordered and being sent out to me, should have it Monday

well at least your having it replaced. did the replacement cost anything?
sorry theres no fix to this right now. but i think its a little too early to mess with the G4
You have to restore you LG G4 to stock ROM.As your device is bricked you can't Flash via recovery.Download & Install LG Flash tool on your PC.Then download LG Stock Firmware according to your device model number.Then Flash via LG Flash tool.Below i share some helpful links

Actually there was no need to go to the store and get a new phone
You can easily flash G4 KDZs via LGUP, if you're stuck in download mode. Easiest game of your life. Sorry, that you had a lot of trouble, but keep in mind, that there's a way to get out of bootloops and such 99% of the time (well in fact 100% if it's a software problem). For future problems just check this thread. Easy to use, easy to get out of bootloops. Cheers

Thanks. But this was back in May, about 24 hours after it launched in the US. KDZ's weren't available then. Otherwise I would have done exactly what you said

Hi,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I literally just got a G3 D855 and tried to root it using One Click Root. I followed all of the steps and after having to manually boot into download mode, it said that it had completed the process and had rooted successfully and the phone restarted.
I now cannot get past the LG logo. I have tried factory resetting as I can access that menu, and I can only access download mode if I plug the phone into my computer whilst holding volume up.
I don't really know how this happened. If anyone has any advice, please send it my way.
I have tried battery pulls etc.
Thank you.

you could do 2 things.. one download KDZ use LGUP flash it and see if it was software related or something went wrong at flash.. if it keeps doing it then it has the bootloop issue.. and need to be sent back for repair....can you provide your first 3 digits of your serial number...?

yes it is its pretty easy... . file is big though... download kdz for you variant.. what android you are using.? MM or were you on stock LP.?
well i think since your phone is from 2015 august. that bootloop was supposed to be fixed by then. but newer phone are still getting hit by the bootloop.. but be aware unlocking the bootloader voids warranty.. some been lucky that phone were repaired some were denied repair..

Its been unlocked for ages and running the cyanogen rom, this is what is now stuck but was running fine. lg website doesnt have the programme any more, will hunt for it. so this will work even though phone doesnt boot?

Going to give this a whirl now mate, thanks.
So my mom had an LG G3 D850 from at&t. was totally fine, then she updated whatever she had to 6.0 and it started bootlooping. Tried the LG Flash tool with a tot stock firmware. Went through the whole process got the blue screen with the red 3, it restarted, kept bootlooping. Tried it again but then it got stuck on 5% for like 4 hours, unplugged it and now no matter what i do i cant get into download mode. It shows the LG screen then goes straight to firmware update (even if i dont hold vol up) and it says 910K Bxx QEM (the xx changes) I was able to get into recovery mode, recovered it. same thing. Im losing my mind a little bit here so any advice, or pointing me to a tutorial would be greatly appreciated. Ive looked all over the internet and cant find anything helpful apparently the qualcomm thing where you short the motherboard doesnt work for this phone either?
*flips desk*
If it is under warranty .send your phone to at&t to get it fixed.

Qualcmomm method you are describing is just to bring your phone into download mode. I have done this to my brother's g3. You have to flash using LG flashtool using different settings and then hard reset your phone. If it doesn't solve your problem.try to replace battery and then use custom rom.
tried that
