LG G3 with no OS but access to TWRP... - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First, thanks to everyone for this awesome site!
Lets keep it short... D850 AT&T LG G3 without an OS. I have repeatedly tried to flash a new ROM using a flash drive and an OTG cable but TWRP reads the flash drive as empty (which I know is not, but it doesn't show anything but "up a level").
Last time the phone was working was Kit Kat 4.1.1 and it was the automatic update that started this messup.
Any thoughts? Please and thanks.

#Solution# Flashed Wrong Model Rom To D852.

So Long Story,
Monday November 24, I Changed Out Battery Go To Restart Phone, Phone Wont Boot Stuck On LG Screens And Constantly Retrying. Tuesday Night November 25, I ReInstall Factory Firmware For G3 D852 – With Success – Phone Working. Wednesday November 26, I Decide To Root & Install TWRP – With Success – Phone Working No Issues. Friday November 28, This Is Where Sh*t Hits The Fan! I Get Crazy & Attempt To Install ChupaChups Lollipop Rom With TWRP – Seemingly Successful Install But After Reboot Wont Boot Stuck In Fast Boot. So I Attempt To Resolve This Following Other Forum Posts Using FastBootOV – WITHOUT Success – Now When Attempting To Boot Phone LG Screen Comes Up Top Left Corner Says “ERROR Boot Certification Verify” Below That Says “590 Secure Booting ERROR!” Then Black Screen With Flashing Red & Blue LED. I Attempted To ReInstall Factory Firmware For D852 With LG Flashtool Attempt Fails Stating Wrong Model Number – Phone States On Screen Near Bottom Now D855 Ver5.0 Below That D85520A.
Finally Success With Phone December 28, After Countless Hours Trying to Find Some Shred Of Info To Resolve This Including Posting Here For Help Without A Response. I Proceed To Attempt To Reinstall Factory Firmware For D852 - Failed Same Result Wrong Model Number D855. Actual Model D852. I Then Decided F**K It Ill Install D855 Factory 32G Firmware UK Version Why Not? At This Point Phones A Paper Weight In This Time Had To Purchase Another Phone (So I Dont Lose My Mind) - All Available Information Points To Send In For Warranty. So I Do So Again Attempting To Install The D855 UK Firmware Failed To Install Using LG FlashTool, This Time Stating Partition Errors. So I Find After Random Searching & Random Reading Of Everything LG G3. I Find A Generic LG G3 DLL File (LGUP_8974.DLL). Using The Generic LG G3 DLL & Factory Firmware D852 With LG FlashTool - This Time Working Up To 89%, Phone Reboots Shows Large 2, Crossing My Fingers Waiting For The Large 3. What Actually Pops Up Is A Large 0. I Attempt To Reboot Phone Goes To Mini OS, Set Phone To Reboot Normally - AND SUCCESS!!!!!! Factory OS Boots Up, The Usual YADAYADA Setup.
So Thats All, A Long Winded Story BUT Now There Seems To A Cure To Flashing WRONG Model G3 Roms To Your Device.
Hope This Works For Everyone - I Have Devoted Coutless Hours Trying to Avoid Sending My Phone In.
Good Luck!!

Man, this was a long story but I am so glad you have posted this. I always wondered what would happen if I by mistake flash the wrong file (diff model), and now I know. Can you please send me the link to the info and the files, just in case I end up where you were (email: elmspace at gmail dot com), I would appreciate it.
Thanks man. I was just wondering what is going to happen to my LG g3 D856 variant if i flash D855 kdz. Now um not gonna do that. Let's not flash any rom. I successfully rooted and am using D858HK twrp ( yeah D858HK) successfully.
hi hi
hi hi same problem after i want to root the phone my LG G3 D852 my phone stuck on fastboot mode blackscreen ,my pc see it like Android bootloader Interface BUT no other programs see it try lg flash tool or lg repair tool or cmd command nothing they don't see my G3 HELP HELP PLEASE
Sorry for the no response on this problem , got the same problem last year by flashing the d850 rom to a d852 model but this solution is not recommended. It works sometimes (was working with mine but I bring it to LG because the motherboard dies for no reason after one month of use lol) but the installation can go wrong and destroy your motherboard.

Holy hell I ran into the same issue and spent countless hours getting my D852 back to life after flashing the wrong ROM. I found this and sure enough it came back!
plss help

LG G3 Marschmallow update problem, need help

So today I wanted to update my LG G3 (D855) 16 Gb model to 6.0 with the flash tool, bcs my phone was very buggy with the lollipop update. I did everything like it was said on a tutorial and downloaded the .kdz file. After starting to flash it I got a problem, maybe a big one even. The flash tool can't connect to my phone anymore and the process is stuck on 19% on the update firmware screen. I haven't unplugged it yes and I am kinda scared to do it. What should I do? I have red that I should maybe change the USB port from 3.0 to 2.0 but I don't know if I should unplug my phone just like that or turn it of for now?
Please help me!

LG G3 stopped working after installing recovery

Today I was trying to install a custom rom, but I messed it up and had to reset it to stock rom.
After that I reseted it back to stock rom, I rooted my phone with Kingroot and used this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd855 to install recovery. After that I powered off my phone and now it won't turn on. Already removed battery a plenty of times, when putting in the charger nothing happens, pc won't see it also.
The only moment when my phone lights up is when I remove my battery and put it in the charger, then it basically says that it's charging but with no battery in it. Also when removing the battery and connecting to my pc it only sees it as a unrecognizable device.
Suggestions on what I can do? IF not, poor me, gonna buy a new smartphone then.
Btw, I still have some garanty. Maybe it's worth sending it to the support services.

You used wrong autorec install LP recovery to MM. Download MM version autorec from LG G3 Xda forum. Try flash back to stock or something else. Instructions are in LG G3 Xda forum if you search more. Sorry.

Hmm, I was really sure that I used the right one.
Anyway, how can I flash it again if I can't even get the lg logo to show, neither get him in download mode or that my pc recognises him?
Btw, I still have some garanty. Maybe it's worth sending it to lg.
If you have no access to any recovery mode, Fastboot or download mode.then use the method of Qualcomm 9008.btw your warranty is void because you have rooted device and messed with it.

I also had same issue and I'm also sure that I used the correct Autorec version.
I sent the phone to LG because the warranty is still valid.
I know how to fix this

i remember after 1 day of having this phone this happened this was likely caused by having the latest boot loader i remember this because i fresh installed the marshmallow kdz after that i installed autorec mm it told me to restart and my phone died there, however after spending 8 hours straight i found a solution the smart boot diagnostics tool can write an older version of the boot loader understand that your phone must be in the qdloader9008 mode, if your PC doesn't detect the phone make sure you install the drivers in the zip from the download install the 32 bit if on 32 bit system or install 64 bit on 64 bit system. Hey if you need assistance on doing this Download team viewer and i'll be more than welcome to help unbrick our d855

LG Bridge for software reinstall

Hi all,
I was wondering, once I have custom firmware and recovery on my lg g4, will I be able to reinstall the software from LG Bridge. I understand that I could use the kdz downloaded by it in LG UP, but I was wondering, if I put my phone in download mode, could the update error recovery utility in LG Bridge also reinstall it?
Thanks in advance for your help

I tried this recently just to see what it does, but it even didn't recognize the phone. So you probably need to use LGUP (which I used to go back to stock on my G4) or TWRP to flash something else.

I just tried it and interestingly if the phone is in download mode, it does get recognized as an LG device and will initiate an Update Error Recovery

G3 D855 jelly bean - unable to install twrp

Hi ,
I try to install TWRP on my G3 jelly bean model D855
I've tryed via adb, flashify. Nothing works: when it reboots, it goes to flashboot mode. Even pushing vol - et power buttons, leads to flashboot mode. (even pushing, release, and pushing again)
I managed , via shell, to bump! it (well, i think i did, as i could go until the screens where we have to choose to factory reset) but still, only fastboot mode.
I've search on the net and tryed all tutos i've found
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks,
Wish you a nice day
I don't have any clues or pointers but I'm quite curious. When the G3 was introduced it came with 4.4.2 KitKat. The G2 had JellyBean. How did you get JB on the G3?
I can only find one reference to that combo. An article titled " LG G3 D855 MT6572 jellybean firmware free download" but actually offers up a KitKat download.
Anyway, strange.
Have you considered upgrading the firmware (to KK, LP, MM) using a flash tool or LGUP? If you really do have JB on a G3 I can see why trying to get TWRP on it is problematic.
LG G3 D851, Mahdi v2.9 ROM (4.4.4), microG (NoGApps), MultiROM, XDA Legacy
Marcdw,
My mistake: it's actually 4.4.2 so kit kat version, you're right.
I'm trying to upgrade but PC suite is bugging on my PC... will try on another PC tonight....
Thanks for taking time
