LG G3 not responding ( no boot, no download mode, nothing) - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was hoping someone here could offer me some guidance on what to do.
I've got a LG G3 D855 (international)
So I tried putting TWRP on my phone as a recovery but I must have done something wrong.
My phone isn't booting at all. It's not even responding to putting a usb cable in. Only if I connect it to a usb cable without battery it shows the logo that I don't have a battery inserted.
Did I completely destroy my phone?
edit: My phone is now showing up in the device manager as a Port(COM LPT)

I think you flashed the recovery image as boot image. Get the boot.img from your original Rom and flash it as boot image in recovery.

The phone didn't make a connection to my computer and was not recognized by fastboot, etc.
But I've just received it back from the store and they repaired it.
Thanks for the help!

Flash stock zip kernel from artmod thread.
the problem is. I can't upload any files to mobile phone. if i connect to pc, it turns on, goes to recovery, so I click on mount storage, and other mount option, nothing happens. My computer detects phone as F180L with a exclamation mark.
If i go to download mode, and then try to flash any KDZ file from all the f180 KDzs. It gives me errors.
LG Support Tool on entering serial number and model name says "check out serial number and model"
ADB never detects my phone. So I can't upload anything.
No option to upload files via SD Card.
ok, so I have no clue what happened :crying: phone was in download mode. I did nothing, but only installed LG Support Tool USB driver, while the mobile connected.
Then I installed Microsoft .net framework 4.0. And my phone is now qhs_usbdload. it's officially bricked now. I have no clue what happened. This is all that happened before I restarted and selected "reboot to bootloader" and its dead. So there's nothing left to do but throw it out
WTF OKAY! I have no clue!
But, after seeing that qhs usbdload. (i have seen that before with other phones). I complete lost any hope.
So I for feeling contended, downloaded qpst, and emmc software download, and selected MPRG8064.hex and msimage.bin.
Then like I expected it threw an error "image download failed, cookie if present not received"
so I lost hope disconnected my phone and put it there. After a few minutes thought I should try one last time.
so I connect it my pc and VIOLA it turns ON!?
now I have that same rebooting to recovery problem. I have no explanation for whatever has happened to phone in past 3 hours. I have been with phones for years. This is the weirdest thing to happen ever :angel:
Now someone, please help me?
1. Why is this in Development section?
2. You can't mount internal SD as USB storage. Use adb push or adb sideload instead, that will help you to get the files onto your phone.

Some user got that problem before. I am not sure about how they solve it but I guess that they flash their original KDZ back. If your phone can enter download mode, you should try LG Flash tool 2014 and flash your original kdz to restore incorrect system image.
About adb cannot find your phone, try to remove adb driver from device manager and reinstall LG usb driver.

My phone is acting weird. Sometime it would start. Sometime the red light would blink. Sometimes the red light wouldn't blink at all. Then sometimes, it starts. And then it doesn't.
I have no clue what is going on with it.
But it went to download mode many times again, it would go to fastboot, bootloader, recovery etc. Then sometimes it will not respond to any buttons at all! I know its battery is down, but idk if it's charging or not?
I don't know how to know whether the phone is charging or not. I left it charging for 30 minute, and it didn't even buzz. :crying:

One thing you can do (I've done it in the past a couple of times) is to crack your phone open, disconnect the battery, and charge it with an external charger. That would at least give you a full battery to start with...
Regarding the charging problems, I had that once. I was able to startup the phone by simply using a 2A charger instead of the LG's 1.2A.
When I had this issue it was charging while in recovery. Please look at this post and flash your kdz.

thanks. but after charging it. I couldn't turn the screen off because it goes in recovery. I turned off the phone after good 30 minute charging. Then went to sleep. And in the morning I connected it to pc. by holding volume buttons for download mode. It didn't go to download mode. Only it's red light is blinking. and no display.

Hi, regarding that. I was able to sideload exitrecovery.zip file. It goes to 100% then nothing happens. Nothing happened on phone screen as well.
And can you send me link to that stock zip kitkat? i have a miui.zip and few other roms that I have not tried. thanks
Edit: also what should I do about adb, am i doing correct?
Becuase in adb devices, my device is displayed with deviceID sideload
And i have only pasted adb folder, with a dll and a zip file, there is nothing else, do I need to install SDK?
I tried lg flash tool 2014 again, and it flashed, I swear yesterday I tried to flash it, and after clicking on it, it never showed me country and language selection menu, so it would sit there and do nothing. now I don't know how but it did it :laugh:
thank you so much you'all

[Q] PLEASE HELP! T-Mobile LG G3 Hard Bricked!

So today I tried flashing android 5.0 on my T-mobile LG G3 D851. I put it into download mode, started the flash and waited. My LG flash tool then crashed and closed. My phone was %6 through the installation however and was just left frozen after it crashed. I tried every way possible to restart it and get out of the screen while keeping it plugged in, but I couldn't...so I took out the battery and put it back in. Now nothing is turning on, I can't put it in download mode and the charging LED doesn't light up, etc. It's completely bricked....what do I do? I've already tried taking out the battery and waiting and plugging in the cord and then battery. Please help! I can't afford the insurance or another phone...
EDIT: Also the battery does have charge...although I don't know how long it will last.
EDIT 2: I just realized this flash was for the 855 variant..not 851. Does this mean that I am just screwed?
It means that you got expensive brick.
You cant enter into download mode or recovery?
Probably only help is jtag. Find someone who can do that.
Sounds like someone has learned a very expensive lesson! Have you tried to factory reset it?
Yeah JTAG is all you got if no download mode

The linked solution works only if the device shows some signs of life - atleast a boot logo.
i have a D851 that a friend bricked. She tried upgrading to Lollipop and flashed the AT&T baseband on this TMobile version. The result is a hard bricked device which does not even seem to power on. Shows no signs of life, except when connected to a windows pc. It shows up as 'LG Androidnet USB modem' in the device manager. No boot logo, recovery, or download mode. Fortunately she has IMEI and twrp backups for this phone (boot, efs1, efs2, radio, rpm, tz). I did some research on JTag solutions. Unfortunately, none of the boxes support the D851, yet.
Any ideas on how to recover this device would be greatly appreciated.

Soft Bricked LG G3 D855, Please Help

I am not new to rooting and unlocking Androids. My LG G3's UI would randomly freeze where I had to reboot the device to have it working again. Today I decided to flash the vanilla unicorn rom in recovery. I downloaded the rom and copied it over to the phone but the copy process kept getting stuck at some point, that I always had to cancel it.
So I decided to wipe cache and data to just reinstall the official d855 CM13 rom I had earlier on the device's storage, the wipe got stuck for at least 20 mins. I got impatient and removed the battery trying to reboot into recovery, but I was stunned and stuck on the LG Splash screen logo, I kept trying to reboot into recovery but couldn't get past the LG splash screen.
I then decided to try rebooting into fastboot, I was able to boot into fastboot the normal way without any issues but every attempt at getting TWRP just wasn't yielding anything useful. The closest I've gotten to seeing TWRP since then was with the fastboot command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
which reboots showing the TWRP splash screen image without actually showing TWRP, but I've noticed I can access adb while the screen is stuck on the TWRP splash screen image.
I can't do any sideload of the zips on my computer because TWRP just stays there stuck on the splash screen so I can't enable sideloading. I have spent hours with this and it has taken too much of my time, attempts at
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
just returns with an error in cmd with FAILED (remote: flash write failure).
I can't figure out what to do anymore, I'm left with a phone that can't boot into the rom and recovery, only the fastboot and download mode works. I just need the phone to let me boot into recovery so I can flash the files I need to and have my phone back to its earlier state.
I'll really appreciate everyone's support, thanks!

I have tried using the flash tool, but I can't get into Download mode to use the LG Flash tool to get back to stock. All I get is fastboot.
There was a tutorial about using two wires on the emmc, but I haven't been able to get the Qualcomm HD_USB 9008 to show up in Device manager.

Thanks for that post. I'll give it a try again tonight, I just need the Qualcomm 9008 drivers to come up.
Cause I noticed every time attach the wire to the board, windows recognizes the phone with an error "USB device not recognized" and in device manager a yellow warning mark next to one of the USB device icons.

And Thanks for replay
I was in the middle of unbrick my g3 from hard brick to soft brick. I flash firmware using lg up at 99% then the phone died as it tried to reboot. It won't boot at all. As you said when remove the battery and connect charger, i can see my motherboard working with exclamation mark. As soon as i put the battery, motherboard out and no sign of life. Is this sign of bad battery or what. I don't have spared battery

When you say it asks,do you mean in an other window it shows "Select device model" and it has options down? Right?
I got it sorted out, I guess you have to install the drivers again. The thing is, after it installs and everything... It turns itself off after the cable is unplugged from the phone... I see the battery has swollen up inside and is in precarious condition... I tried doing the procedure again but the phone booted up... After a minute it shut down again and back to the download mode...
Is it the battery or what?
One more thing, after I unplug the phone it doesn't turn on other than if I connect it with the PC

The battery should have a problem...
Try inserting an other battery.(if you have)
When it finishes with flashing don't unplug it from your PC!..
(The guy that had this phone had messed up with System partition files really bad...)
P.S:In lguptool did you select CSE flash?
The LG up I worked with didn't give me that option, it gave me the option to either update, refurbish and another one... I chose update so it allowed me to choose the kdz you linked here for me... It did it's thing then booted up and everything, when I unplugged it, it turned off and won't turn on.. Then I plugged it in again and it only showed the same download mode that I shared the image with you...
Try using one of these tools.
