So yesterday i was browsing facebook on my phone when it suddenly freezes and i couldnt do anything so i took the bactery out. Now my phone wont boot it stuck on logo screen but this time not LED appears i dont see the LG logo moving i use to see a bright color thingy near it and this time no flashing LED i can enter twrp recovery but the internal storage becomes 0 and i cant flash a new rom because it gave me an error. I tried to enter download mode i thought it work it said download mode then for a few secs the screen just turn black and nothing. So this is basically hard bricked im guessing?

It's just the universe's way of telling you to stay off of facebook
You can tell if it is a hardbrick if your G3 shows up as something strange in the device manager of your PC like qualcomm 9006 or 9008 or something else under "ports" and will not be recognized as a phone. So check what your device manager on your computer says under "portable devices" and "ports", when you plug the phone in and you can tell if you're bricked or not.
For reference: when i'm in download mode(firmware update screen)on a healthy G3 my pc sees the phone as LGE Android MTP device under "potable devices", LGE Mobile for VZW USB serial port(com41) under "ports", and "LGE Mobile for VZW USB Composite Device" under USB controllers. (*Don't mind the VZW tags as that denotes it is for a Verizon phone.)
It's good you can get into recovery, but internal storage reading 0 in recovery is strange. What error do yo get when trying to flash something in recovery? Have you tried reflashing the TWRP recovery zip or .img file in your recovery? Have you tried a different/new battery(check the date code on the battery to see how old it is - if it's 2014 it's probably bad)? A bad battery can cause random shutdowns and bootloops, it could cause your phone to reboot while in download mode(which could be why you don't make it to the "firmware update" screen after it says "download mode"), but I doubt it would cause the recovery errors
Also, please include your G3 variant (D855, Vs985, etc.) and the ROM you were running when all of this happened. Someone may have experienced your issue before and it could be ROM/variant specific with an easy fix...if it's fixable and not a catastrophic hardware issue.
Best of luck to you getting it fixed :good:
yup it says qualcom 9008 thingy i might try to reflash an image and see what happens lol im planning to buy a new phone anyway so if it cant be fixed oh well idc XD. battery is from 2014 and its lg d855
Happened to me several times, phone get overheat then just refuse to turn on
In my case, I let it charge to 100% and if still not booting, reflash the ROM

What do you mean by you can't get the driver for Qualcomm 9008 mode?

I have the same problem with my LG. It has red LDI, but I think that's the battery problem. Try to change it.
if you unplug the battery, and put it back in, then hold the up button while plugging in the usb cable, can you get into Qualcom mode? I bricked my phone last week and i was able to get into qualcom mode that way. I then also installed the qualcom drivers and rebooted my pc. I used boarddiag by Willcracker and was able to recover my phone to a boot loop which allowed me to get into Download mode, which I was able to recover the phone back to stock.
Not working for me, still LGE USB Net. When I test point my G3, Windows show notification 'Not recognized'
Hello all,
I've done a lot of googling and searching on these forums and I'm having no luck. Hopefully by asking I can get some headway.
I was attempting to restore to stock rom. At 17% of the process using LGFlashTool 1.8.6 the tool gave me an error 'Unable to Communicate with phone' after about 10 minutes of no progress. I exited the LGFlashTool program and ran it again and now it fails saying 'Cant' change to download mode". If I turn the phone off and then press Vol+ and plug in my cable it just goes to the Firmware Update screen. My phone *IS* detected properly in the device manager as LGE Andriod MTP Device and under ports as LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM41). If I go into recovery (Vol- and power) it asks if I want to do the restore - but it doesn't actually do anything once I say yes twice. Just sits at the firmware update screen at 0%.
I looked at this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091) but it appears to be either for a different phone or different problem (showing in device manager as a bulk device - mine is not doing that). Frankly I don't want to make things worse (if that's possible)
Does anyone have a way that I can restore the download mode for this D852 phone? I'm hoping if I can get download mode to work again I can reflash the stock rom. I don't care about the data on the phone at this point.
I'm willing to send some $$$ via paypal to whomever can get me back up and running! Thanks

What happens when u just power up the phone ?
Thanks for the reply.
If I shut the phone down (by pulling battery) then plug it back in and just power it on, I get the LG logo then it goes to the firmware update screen with 'USER B84" in the box below the progress bar. Progress bar never moves. I get to this screen whether I start it in recovery (which is just the factory recov - looks like during the initial 17% it wiped out my TWRP), attempt to start it in download mode (I do not get the download mode screen with the blue dots anymore), or regularly by just holding the power button.
ok
Dont plug it into the computer and try to power it up what does ot do?
Same thing.

Ok that didn't work for me but I did try the LGFlashTool using Board DL instead of Upgrade DL and it was moving a bit. Finally got to 10% and failed at 574 sec with the error "We can't communicate with Phone". I am using the cable that came with the phone. It isn't damaged or anything.
Here's what is shows in the LG Flashtool window (this is port 1 (com41)
Code:

On the phone it shows COM41 under the usb icon on under firmware update and 0% progress. In the box below it says:
Code:
F USER 50.0 A50.0 B70 UHS
S U LG-D852 04.4.2 Hrev_10

D85210b
That's it. Should I leave the phone connected at this point or unplug it? Device still shown in device manager (have had it up beside the LG Flashtool window the whole time. I do see it refresh from time to time but the contents dont' seem to change at all.
Ok so I left this over night and when I checked the phone this morning it's different but I don't think it's good.
Looks like it proceeded but ended with:
FBOOT Check
FBOOT Complete Time [0s ] 1th try
Factory Reset Flag = 2
Factory Reset Flag Check Fail!!!
And my phone has a blue screen with Factory Reset Status and a big red '2'
Now what do I do?
Some further information.
If I run the LGFlashTool in Board DL action mode, it seems like the process works but I end up with the red 2 on the screen. But I don't get 'can't change to download mode' or 'cannot communicate with phone' errors.
However if I choose Upgrade DL action mode, then I get 'can't change to download mode' or cannot communicate with phone'. ARGH. What gives?
I have tried things like fresh restarts (restarting PC), restarting the LG FlashTool between attempts, not restarting flashtool, etc. I can't seem to find the sweet spot.

Thanks, but no dice.
I don't get fastboot options, and if i download and attempt to use fastboot, it shows no devices.
Also, when following the steps for the BOARD DL option in the lg flashtool, it goes through the process but I get no ATT screen. Nor do I get the option to tap OK or Normal - as soon as my device reboots after the flash, it gives me a MINI OS (iirc) screen with a bunch of vertical bars below it moving up and down then it changes to the Factory Reset screen with the number 2.

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem now, where the phone only boots to the Firmware Update screen. Did you manage to fix it?
Indeed.
I used the KDZ method pacods61 posted last, but I had trouble actually finding kdz firmware. With some help I finally managed to do so from here: http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada

Hello, i have problem with my f460s. i just bought this phone from internet running with kitkat. it has bootloop prob but when i plug in charger it can boot normally. based on this prob, i had a feeling that an upgrade would fix bootloop. i searched on internet how to flash it and the kdz file and i found it. the name of the kdz file is F460S30h_00_0425. its actually my first time doing this kind of thing and it went successful. i made it to home screen and then suddenly a notification appeared. its says google play service need an update blablabla and i just go with it. after its finished the download, my phone restarted and guess what? my phone cant boot anymore. i cant go to download mode, rec mode and cant charge (only shows empty battery and a circle). after 5 hours of browsing i found that this is called "Hardbrick". i got some guide/method for xda to fix this but not sure which one should i choose. i wanted started from this https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/unbrick-lg-model-download-recovery-t3060184 but before doing the instruction i realized that my f460s isnt detected by computer. tried to connecting my phone to my pc with no simcard and micros d(with battery/without battery) and pressing vol up button but sadly i cant see it in windows device manager even after i installed lg universal driver and qdloader hs-usb driver. its almost 1 week and i cant figure out how to fix my phone. i feels so frustated right now. i would appreciate any help or reply. thank you and sorry for grammar.
woke up to this green screen of death, pulled out the battery, and phone is dead since then.
no combination of buttons does anything.
The only picture i get the phone to display is when i plug it into the pc without a battery i see the yellow triangle next to the empty battery.
Whenever i put the battery in its solid black, not even the leds light up.
Anyone know of any way to get it into download mode? or is it dead?

You can try shorting a pin on the motherboard, getting into qualcomm 9008 mode, and then manually loading the proper partitions via the board diag tool listed in the instructions here... https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/how-to-hardbrick-guide-using-test-t3276928
To be honest though...it may be time for a new phone. If it randomly crashed on you and went to the Demigod most likely one of the chips is dead/dying or the solder has opened up(common g3/lg problem). You can test if it is a solder issue by putting light pressure on the board near the SoC, memory, and/or PMIC chips and powering it up; if it shows any signs of life then you have bad solder connection and need a new board.

So there is no way i can make adb work from download mode? The device is recognized but in the list of driver installed does not appers "adb". I have some importants file on it and really need to recover it

What is the device recognized as? If it is listed as a qualcomm device you are probably stuck and need to follow the tutorial I linked previously. If you see androidnet, LGE, or something that looks like your device then you may get lucky and just need the right driver(s) for your PC.
If you can find a way to get download mode working again(shorting the pin and loading the proper partitions should work) you should be able to recover your files by flashing a kdz and choosing the "normal flash"
option with the LG flash tool(CSE option &/or TOT flash will erase everything)... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
*Just try to flash the same version of the software you were running at the time so you can avoid any conflicts; if you can't remember the exact SW version at least flash the correct android version (kit kat, lollipop, marshmallow, nougat).

maybe you give me the solution !!! Yes i can get in the download mode anytime i want ; the device is recognized as Lge driver . O i try to flash the right kdz file and hope it will good
Hello everyone,
so here's my problem:
Wednesday morning i took my phone out of my pocket and had a blackscreen. I tried to restart it and took out the batterie but i always got stuck in the LG Logo or a bootloop. Since i had TWRP and lineage OS installed, i tried to go into the twrp menu with the factory mode (power button + volume down) but after the "double yes" i always got a blackscreen.
So i went into the internet to fix it myself. I tried the "LG Flash Tool 2014" with the kdz. reset & the other Flash tool with the tot. reset. Both didnt recognize my phone. At this point, the only thing that worked was the download mode BUT not the recovery mode that usually comes after it. It just showed the download mode for some seconds and then a black screen. Later i noticed that my phone showed as a "qualcomm device" in the device manager, and the internet said that this was bad. So i used "Board diag" and "Smart boot diag" to fix it, but at the point where the device should have restarted, and the download mode should have worked WITH the recovery mode, i always ONLY had the 6 second download mode. After messing a bit with "Board Diag" i even got it to show up as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port in the device manager, which apparently was even more bad and only way to go back to qualcomm was to shorten the pins which i did. And it worked BUT now i was back with the qualcomm stuff.
So as you can see, i've prety much run i circles since wednesday... Iam now at a point where 3 different thingscan happen when I try to put my LG into download mode (volume up + usb cable):
1. Its recognized as a unknown device which is constantly connecting and diconnecting, so iam assuming my phone is bootlooping with a black screen.
2. The download mode icon shows on my phone and disappears after some seconds but my pc fails to recognize it.
3. Nothing happens and the screen stays black
When i only connect the usb cable, it shows a stuck charging icon for some seconds and then goes black. Connecting without a battery shows the "missing battery icon". I tried with 2 pc's, both having the LG mobile driver 4.2 and the qualcomm driver installed AND beeing in testmode. Both don't recognize the device. I also tried 2 batteries on my phone but it changes nothing.
I have a D855. And i know that my situation is pretty f*cked but maybe someone i able to help me anyway. Thanks alot.
