Lg g3 stuck - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i was using LinageOs rom i don't know exact version and was using with twrp...
i had to give phone to someone so i tried factory reset but it was not resetting so i used something from twrp to reset it i dont remember exactly what..
after that boom
now when i turn on my phone it shows "secure booting error cause boot certification verify"'... and after that screen goes black and led blinks for red and blue.. i tried alot but no download or any other mode..
after that i try volume + button and plug usb so i see that it goes to some mode but still black screen... i tried to install drivers and everything and changed port to com41 also .. when i am using flashtool its not going after ready anywhere.. and in lgup its showing unknown model.. please tell me how can i fix it.. i used flashtool 2014 also but solution not work...

While far too late for the original poster, for anybody who comes here: I had the red/blue flashing problem and error message. After a lot of messing around with TWRP (my USB port was flaky) I had the port resoldered and found, as others have reported, that the only solution - but one that worked very quickly and smoothly - was to use LG FlashTool to flash a stock ROM in KDZ format. A way that somebody found solved the red/blue flashing was reported in another thread; I didn't find it until too late, so don't know if it would have worked.
A problem with LGUP and FlashTool is that it is sometimes distributed with the wrong DLL file. For anybody who gets "UNKNOWN" device with LGUP for the LG G3, I found that LGUP for the G3 is often distributed with the wrong DLL file. See the details here, post #11. After installing LGUP, make sure that the "model" subdirectory in the LGUP program directory is the same number as the processor in your phone, in my case c:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8974 (was 8994 with the "LGUP for G3" I downloaded).

Soft/Hard Unbrick (Build.prop, Stuck Stock Recovery, LG Flash Tool Error)

Sorry folks i havent helped here in a bit however I thought for the last 2 weeks I had bricked my lg g2 by modifing the build.prop without fixing its permissions on a stock recovery and lg flash would not flash tot for the love of god, i did much research of this issue and found a fix that was deep within the xda commuinty that i just happen to come across, as ive tried to look for the OR thread i could not find it again. However for you guys who i have recently noticed you believe you have BRICKED you lg on a stock recovery, and the lg flash tool giving you a check dll or model here you go, instead of using the LGLS980_20130904_LGFLASHv151.dll theres a bypass DLL and its all yours (your welcome) i included ALL THE TOOLS you need to unbrick your poor lg g2 (BTW SPRINT YOU SUCK) seems the newer the device the easier it is to brick, the lg g2 cannot be manually put into fastboota nd theres no way to do so unless you have no recovery or messed up the recovery partition from what ive read.
Me coming from a Motorola Xoom which i can not brick for the last 2 years ive been messing around with.
DOWNLOAD TOOLS FOR THIS
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzDugtIyKzTZdHo3WVg4Ti1CWjg/view?usp=sharing
Anyways, follow the guide below.
Unzip spr_lg_g2_unbrick.zip to C:\LG\ then run the Setup_LGFlasHTool_1.8.1.1023.exe, install and leave as is C:\LG\LGFlashTool\
Place the LGUP_8974.dll in the same folder "C:\LG\LGFlashTool" Copy the MegaLock.dll into C:\LG\LGFlashTool\ and overwrite.
1. Make sure the device is POWERED OFF, press vol up and then plug the usb cord into the phone, device should now boot into Download Mode.
2. If you havent already install the driver provided with the zip.
3. Once installed open control panel>>device manager expand Ports (COM & LPT) Double Click on LGE Androidnet USB Serial Port and change this to port 41.
4. Unplug the Device from the PC, and turn the phone off by holding the power button untill the lg screen flashes once.
5. Have your TOT file in the same folder as the installed directory as LG Flash Tool. link to tot, once downloaded unzip the tot is inside: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2FSprint%2F
6. Check "Select Manual Mode" Choose the LGUP_8974.dll and for S/W is your TOT file then select OK.
7. Then moving on, click the green arrow key. after its done with the checking process, grab your LG G2 press and hold the Vol up and plug in your device, this should start restoring your phone, if not then repeat the power down and download mode startup again, I had to do mine twice, but it worked.
Please let me know if this has saved your a$$ because i will tell you it did mine, lol. This is basically if your in any kinda trouble but still have doenload mode this dll is the key to restore AND REMEMBER IF YOU HAVE A ROM USING THE D801 OR T MOBILE PORT DO NOT ACCCEPT OTA'S i already bricked my frist lg g2 by doing so, i have a bricked g 2 in QHCOMM 9008 mode its not paper weight., Good luck to you all

[HELP] - Soft Bricked G3 D852 (Rogers) - No Download Mode. Stuck at FW Update Screen

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

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.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/help/fix-bricked-lg-g3-ls990-stuck-fastboot-t3084562 another tutorial to try
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.

Thanks - I'm going to give this a try, however I can't finda .kdz file for my phone (canada/rogers D852 LG G3) - the links in that post that link to firmware is for a tot file. Does anyone have a link to the KDZ?
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

Is there any way to unbrick G3 d855 without accessing Download Mode?

Okay, so first I had problems with flashing a new ROM due to an error in opening /data/font/config and other folders in /data. So, I accidentally went on and wiped system without creating a backup, because I thought it was just a problem when creating a backup. Seemingly, this was not the case, as everything BUT Data partition was wiped. After that I tried to flash CM13, but ran into problems with installation, as the same error caused it to fail every time I tried. Solution was nowhere to be found, so I tried to flash the stock ROM using LG FlashTool, but that didn't work (I tried using the old version, maybe that was the problem). Then, i tried to use the updated method found on the same page, but accidentally went on and ran the newer FlashTool and the G3 started Firmware Upgrade. This, of course stopped at 3% because I couldn't access the FlashTool completely as I didn't have all the needed files or the info yet. I unplugged the device and now I can't boot into Download Mode, Recovery or anything since I don't have the recovery or system anymore...
The device will power on, but when powering on by pressing volume up and connecting to my PC via USB I only manage to get the LG screen with "Boot verification fail" and then just blank black screen with no notification LED. Otherwise it has the same blank screen and notification LED blinking red and blue.
Is there any way to fix the phone?
P.S. This was the guide I used when trying to use the FlashTool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
Found a way. It was Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 way of unbricking it. The device works flawlessly now. Here's the guide I used: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f49...ts-fix-qhsusb-bulk-_-qualcomm-9008-a-2029025/

Hard bricked F400L

Hi all
It all happens after the screen was suddenly froze and having to take the battery out.
When turned on, the phone had a red/blue led problem.
It was first solved using the LGFlashTool V1.8.6.527 to flash in the LGF400LAT-00-V10a-LGU-KR-MAY-18-2014-0 tot. The phone was reverted to the original firmware and was functional.
Then I wished to upgrade to the latest stock fw (F400L30c_00_1217) using LG Tool 2014. Unfortunately this buggy program prompted connection to server failed and the text was messed up with ????? in the pop up LGUserCSTool window. It was force closed by the system so the whole process could not be completed. I pulled out the battery again(which I now think that I shouldn't do) and after restarting the download mode was ruined.
I tried to fix it using the short pin method here and if rescued would re-flash the tot using the LGFlashTool.
The problem is LGFlashTool did not allow me to do it this time with Model Information Check Fail just like others in this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/model-information-check-fail-t3163715
Having received the message "Model Information" fail, I thought it was due to the firmware version mismatch so I decided to give the LG Tool 2014 a try, again.
I was learnt to ignore the connection fail message to let it run in the background.
However, this time it ended up at around 65% and now the download mode has gone.
Each time the power+vol up combination ends up being detected as qhsusb_bulk, a.k.a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
Not sure if the pins were physically damage during the shorting.
I have a thought. Is there any tool to convert kdz -> tot?
I know there is one to extract the bin, dz from kdz but I need tot to use in the boarddiag (as I think maybe the v30c firmware information has written into the phone by LG tool causing the LGFlashTool V1.8.6.527 to reject writing in)
What is the boarddiag for? Is it performing the same as adb/fastboot to erase/flash partition?
Or are there any workouts?
Thanks for reading and helping me.
it's so weird...yesterday it was stuck at qhsusb_bulk mode
so after placing for a day, it was detected as ABD interface today
and it was booted into fastboot mode.
I managed to erase partition but not flash..tried fastboot boot twrp.img
it restarted with a black screen and this time was detected as lge AndroidNet USB Serial Port
have tried the lg flashtool but no luck
Followed by that, I had applied the short pin method to restore the partitions again..
afterwards, i could manage to get in qhsusb_bulk only...
lets see if it could be in ABD interface tomorrow
btw, any ways to fix the download mode by the fastboot method given the bootloader was locked?
I was finally able to reflash using the tot file
but after flashing the phone reboots into black screen with flashing blue/red led just like previously(bricked status)
the phone was unable to connect as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port too
therefore, the flash tool could not complete
any idea for a fix?

LG G3 F400L Softbrick. Download mode available.

Hello everyone reading! I've tried many guides here, but none seems to work for me somehow, thats why im writing this post.
Whats my problem?
- I've been having this problem for a year or so now, like most softbricks im stuck on a bootloop while launching the phone, with red and blue led light flashing.
The message displayed in the top left corner of the screen says:
boot certification verify
Secure booting Error!
Cause: boot certification verify
How i have bricked my phone?
- I remember i have tried to unroot my phone after having cm installed, can't remeber the version though. Then the phone just got stuck in the bootloop and wont launch along with recovery.
What have i tried?
- I have tried flashing the phone to stock via lg flash tool (tot and dll) and Lg Flash tool 2014 (kdz) no luck unfortunately.
- While flashing stock F400L rom through tot files im having sometimes Milkyway connection failed error when im launching the program, but i don't think that's the case.
I'm doing everything in right order, drivers and programs installed, going into download mode, changing ports to COM41 or COM1 (neither works), launching lg flash tool 2014,
choosing suitable for F400L stock dll and tot then launching the process, unplugging the phone and after 5 seconds plugging it again.
Nothing happens, im stuck at ready.
- Tying to flash through kdz file seem not to work either, got errors after l start the flash process.
Phone plugged, in download mode, yet i get the message of program not being albe to access it, like it would have problems with connection to the computer.
Im following the instructions that program gives me though it does not help at all. It stops after reaching 4% and asks to connect the phone back after checking connection with the device.
Thanks for any help provided!
