So I have this G4 and it is terminal. Now my G3 isn't booting up. It shows the LED green/blue so it does try to boot. After a few seconds LED stops flashing and that's it. I have to pull the battery to do anything else. Today I even got a vibration, but still, that was it.
The battery is fully charged. I could see the red light glow then it quit. Battery is 100%. I have tried everything I have found online and so far no soap. I'm about ready to quit LG. Does anyone have any really great cure for what ails this device?
I would connect the G3 to my (Windows) computer (with the LG driver installed), then see what shows up in the windows device manager related to the g3. And / or try to get the g3 into Download mode (hold volume up while connecting the usb cable while it's connected to the computer). If it goes into that mode, then you may have a good chance of reflashing the phone with its original firmware, to bring it back to life.

I am having troubles booting my phone after the battery depletes and the phone shuts off. My Optimus G is rooted with lifeless Rom v14 and I have TWRP recovery.
So once the phone dies, I plug it in to charge, and the phone screen automaticaly comes on and the LG logo flashes for a second, but nothing happens. The phone doesn't actually charge. If I remove the phone from the charger, the display still stays on until I hard reset it. I cannot access recovery mode or download mode for some reason. Usually when my phone dies, and I plug it in, it will flash the LG logo, keep the display on for a few seconds, and then shut down and restart and show the battery logo charging. I am not getting that this time, and I can't seem to do anything to get it operating again. There also isn't a red LED light to represent charging either. If anyone has had this issue before or knows how to fix it, I'd really appreciate the information right now.
Thanks

That actually just happened to me too
All I did was unplug the phone, hold the power button until the screen turns off, and power up the phone. I do think the phone may need to plugged in for a bit after it does before it will boot. Hope you find a solution.

I had to use LGNPST and teenybin to get anywhere. I got the program all setup and after trial and error, I fixed the problem, only to be found with another problem. Now my phone doesn't seem to want to charge. It will go to the charging screen and everything, but the red pulsing LED isn't on like it used to be, and it doesn't seem like it really is charging. on TWRP, the battery percentage doesn't even show, except until recently it started showing, and then it disapears because it has no power. Any help?!

Hello! I've the LG Beat. It's somehow bricked by latest user. Lg won't turn on but battery is charged (i check it in another phone). When I plug it to charger screen shows battery icon with 0%... Screen off in a while. Sometimes screen turns on by click on a power button but sometimes it's doing nothing . When I plug it to PC it's sometimes showing a 63,9mb (H: ) drive. I tryed to install G3 firmware by two different LG Flash Tools. I've failed all the time. It can't even go into download mode. I've also tried removing battery and plug it again in different sequences. Any suggestions? I will be very grateful for help.
Hello, XDA, Good morning.
So i was using an LG G3 D850 as an access point for a hot spot while my internet was down for a bit, So i connected my PC to my phones WiFi Hot-spot right? K.
Now I had the phone running like this for quite some time, 2-4 hours roughly. During this time I must have used about 4-5 gigs of data on my phone (don't care about the data use :laugh: ) and nearing the end of my abuse on the phones internet use I noticed that the screen doesn't want to turn on, but the phone is still on AND routing the access point still.
Fine fine, so When i decided to wrap it up and shut er' down, i powered the phone off. Attempt to reboot the phone was laggy at best and lucky to actually reboot the phone a couple times in this state. I powered down after failing to boot up a few times pulled the battery then plugged USB in and I Got the normal screen that you would get (can't remember what it looked like) if you plugged into the USB w/o a battery in. Then after the standard battery failed to operate correctly I stupidly tried a different battery, which was 2,600 MAH / 3.8 V Li-ion battery / 9.88 Wh SAMSUNG battery, I know.... stupid.... ( LG battery : 3,000mAh / 3.8v Li-ion battery / 11.4Wh
Now after All this battery sh*t, the phone did boot up once or twice with the above battery, but that was it. Now when I plug USB into phone w/o the battery in I get the triangle with a question mark and a picture of a cell phone and USB cable going into it. Thats the only screen that shows up, except for the green/red/blue blinking notification light at the top left corner! PHONE IS RECOGNIZED in DEVICE MANAGER and ONLY when I power down , cable in PC , hold volume + , insert cable , hold Volume + for about 5-8 seconds til I hear computer sound beep then I let go and I get LGE Android MTP device , LGE Mobile USB Composite Device and LGE Mobile USB Serial Port So i have some connectivity but no screen display unless , plugged in w/o battery. I have tried flashing kdz file for sh*ts and giggles to see if it would do the trick but still the same.
Wheres the veterans at ! Thanks in advance , Cheers!
Forgot to mention , that, Even right now the phone is plugged in blank screen still but being charged and will blink twice every minute or more, green notification light , top left. ***
Actually it blinks automatically or if i press the power button it will blink twice as well. . . What does this mean?!
Is download mode working?

the good news the phone isn't bricked and it can't be unless harware failure, you will need to use the button combo to get into download mode and flash a kdz their are enough threads on how to so I won't write it again

I believe so, There is no display on the phone however, when its plugged into the computer I don't see anything in Device manager except I hear a sound on connection , then when I hit volume + and then insert the USB cable i get MTP driver, Com PORT driver, and CDC driver I believe.

I have flashed a kdz already using LG flash tool 2014 method. But I will try the zip and dll method i guess. If there are other options i would love to know about them.
Refraining from having to short circuit the MOBO and wondering if this problem is as easy as getting a new battery and charger ?
Thanks, Wish i still had my jtag.... zzzzzzzzz
hello, i'm completely newbie/noob here.. so here's the quick explanation..
well my dad just bought an used LG G3, at first the phone is working fine, but the day after, the phone is dead, so he charged it, but after he turned it on, the screen is going blue (blue screen), then it shut off itself,after that cannot turn it on again..
Tried charged it but no LED light is on (means it's not charging) even left it charging for few hours.. so i tried to connect it to computer but it won't detect it..
So the summary is:
- The phone won't turn on , won't charge (no LED on top)
- cannot enter download mode..
- has 2 batteries, tried changed it but still no use..
- tried leaving it overnight without battery ( saw other post ) , the next day, turned on, LG logo, then blue screen.. after that the method is not working anymore.
So, what i want to ask is , is the phone bricked or what? is there any method to restore this phone?
thank you....
Do you have LG drivers installed? If not.install them and connect to pc.
Hey. My phone was little laggy this afternoon and had %50 battery. I replaced my battery around 6 months ago. I power off the G3 then tried to power on but nothing happened. I tried to get into recovery mode by pressing both power and volume down keys but nothing happens. When I try to power on normally, nothing happens too. When I try to charge it no lights come out of that little light on top of the phone too. I mean no LG logo nothing. What should I do?
also when i plugged it into my computer in device manager it shows something like "qhsusb_bulk". i searched google but they are all about bricking.
If the Windows computer sees the phone as "qhsusb_bulk", the phone is bricked: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091
In my case I successfully recovered qhsusb-bulk with this http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick-recover-your-dead-lg-g3-g2-all-variants/
the thing is i never tried to rom/jailbreak etc. i was running official lg os. should i still try this guide?
Give it a try.At least it won't make worse.
