Bricked Device! Would appreciate help. - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Model: LG G4 H810-About 2 weeks ago, I was messing with Xposed Framework and some modules. I restarted my phone as one would do after enabling a new module. While rebooting, my phone got stuck on the AT&T splash screen. I waited a few days and still the same thing. I used the LG Flash Tool to try flashing a KDZ, but this sent my device into a bootloop. I tried doing it again, but the phone cord accidentally came unplugged. Now, whenever I power on the device, it goes straight to download mode. I can't boot to safe mode, or to recovery mode. The computer says that the device is corrupted and unrecognizable. Is there any fix?

Still an issue?
Hi there and I hope you have had luck with your phone. If you have not I can help you out with this situation. Please let me know if this is still an issue.

Black Screen, Blinking Red and Blue LED after boot

Hi all,
Before someone says it, yes I did look around for other threads before posting one of my own. I was not able to find the problem that I am having, nor a working solution.
I am currently running CM12.1 on a Sprint G3 (LS990). This morning, I woke up and found that my phone had frozen while charging overnight. No problem, this has happened before, so I unplugged it and pulled the battery out and rebooted. It was working fine, and then I noticed an update for CM. I hit download, and went to go brush my teeth. When I came back, I saw that it had frozen mid-download. Now it wasn't installing anything; the CM built in updater was just downloading the latest nightly. I waited 5 minutes for it to become responsive, but it never happened so I pulled the battery once again.
Now when I held the power button to start my phone, I saw the LG splash screen as normal. After that, the screen went dark and the LED began blinking red and blue. No matter how many times I pulled the battery to reset my phone, this would occur. I attempted to enter Recovery mode, but in this case after the splash screen the LED would briefly light up blue, and then the phone would reboot, and the cycle would repeat. The same would occur when I tried to boot into download mode.
So now that I cannot boot into anything at all, I assume that my phone is bricked. It is still covered under the limited manufacturer warranty, and since I can't boot up at all I assume it doesn't matter that it is rooted, but before I contact LG I would like to see if anyone here has any ideas.
Before sending it back, have you tried to use the KDZ tool to restore it?

That requires the phone to be in Download mode, and it won't enter Download mode, so I have not tried that.
Well, this happened to me after I flashed TWRP from Flashify on my LG G3 D855 in the day before yesterday and I just had to take the battery out and put it back in, and then I had to boot into download mode. Since you can't even boot into download mode, I'm almost sure the phone is bricked

You HAVE to flash your phone if it was rooted or bump'd, otherwise, it won't be under warrenty, even if it don't boot, they're not stupid..
Every post have: "Your warranty is now void." in it for a reason.

LG G4 stuck in a different kind of boot loop.

So I have an, I beleive korean h815, I have been rooted for a couple weeks now, nothing else done to the phone. Today all of the sudden it stays on the LG splash screen. Very occasionally it'll start up and say "android is updating" but then it reboots the splash again. Is there a way I can just wipe everything and start like from factory again? I've tried the factory reset from the power+volume screen, I got to that screen, but it didn't do anything.
correction, it says twn on the box, so i'm guessing it's taiwan.
I found the thread on using LGUP to install kdz's. Went with the 20c kdz. Phone went to restart and it's just sitting on the screen that says LG. No animation or anything. Someone please help.
I had to buy am LG g stylo to get me by. I really want to fix my g4 and return this thing.

Can you tell us your android version? I think i have exactly the same issue which is quite annoying.
Each night i put my phone in the power plug with flight mode ON. In the morning, when i remove the flight mode , the phone restarts and falls into bootloop. Happened 3 times exactly the same way. I went for PCB replacement the previous week and i got a PCB starting with ser. No 601xxx. Today morning when i removed the flight mode i got a bootloop again. I am sure that this is caused by the V20D version that i installed the last days.... LG messed up again...i have a bootloop each week..
Not sure. But this is staying on this screen, it doesn't restart and stay on.

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.

Nexus 5X bootloop

Hello,
I was watching YouTube when my phone froze and wouldn't respond. I detached the battery and reset it but it would freeze on the 'Installing update' screen even though I didn't try to update the phone. I wiped the cache and data but now it just gets stuck on the 'Google' boot screen.
I can get into the fastboot and recovery modes but the phone won't connect to the PC to allow me to try to sideload. In device manager it appears as "Android" with an exclamation mark next to it. I've tried wiping every instance of Google's drivers and tried both Google and LG drivers but neither seem to work.
I can get it to detect the phone in LGUP using download mode but my phone is H798 and I don't want to go flashing H791 TOT files if it's going to brick the phone. I also want to make sure it's a hardware bootloop before trying the hair dryer method.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks.
my nexus5x randomly shut off and now its completely bricked.
cant acces TWRP and have tried installing stock files but it doesn't seem to work.
Have you found a solution yet?
Anyone know any options?

LG G3 bricked stuck in a loop

Hi Forum.
This is my first post and I need your help!
I've looked everywhere but cannot find solution although several people reported similar problems.
My LG G3 D855 suddenly crashed and got stuck in the loop constantly booting or showing black screen.
At some point phone showed me green screen, apparently Kernel crash
My phone took OS update a week ago which potentially may be related.
I also heard it might be due to poor battery. I purchased new one and the same result.
Phone does not indicate charging when connected to power.
When I try to put in in Download mode (Volume up and connecting to laptop) it displays icon of Download mode but then it goes black.
It managed to display screen Firmware Update, but now I cannot even show that.
I've installed LG PC Suite and LG Mobile Support Tool
None of them detects the phone.
I tried to do factory reset (Volume down + Power button). After confirmation phone reboots and situation is still the same.
What would be next step to diagnose and fix the problem?
Thanks a lot
Hi,
Sorry for you.
But it seems that your motherboard is dead.

Thanks for your reply.
I hoped it would be something else since it is going int Download Mode.
I suppose you are right though.
I did not manage to go any further with this.
