HELP: I think i bricked my phone, won't boot.

Guys,
I used to be very good at rooting by in my HTC days (3 yrs ago). Not so much now a days :crying: I need some help.
I have the ATT LG G3 D850 (i believe) (16gb)
I rooted my phone a few months back. It was an app that did it quite easily for me. I downloaded and used root only apps like titanium back up with no problems.
I didn't download TWRP because at the time i don't believe it was available.
Anyways fast forward a few months and with lollipop out i thought i'd try to install TWRP and a rom that had android 5.0
I downloaded the TWRP app and then installed TWRP recovery through the app. (i listed my phone as D851 because i couldn't find D850 on the list)
Everything seemed to run fine and got a notification that the install was done successfully.
I tried to boot into recovery through the TWRP app and my phone did not boot! I get a message at the upper left corner of my phone that says:
: Boot Certification Verify
______________________________
Secure booting Error!
Cause : Boot Certification Verify
______________________________
and then my phone turns off.
What the hell did i do to my beautiful LG G3? Can someone help me fix this?
I greatly appreciate the help! This forum has always been so awesome!

You will probably have to reflash the KDZ - never choose a phone model unless its your actual device

Can you help Explain how I do this? What is KDZ?

You must check what exactly model you have. Then download a firmware in KDZ format and flash it through LG Flash Tool. Can't give you more details, because I never used that way of flashing new firmware

You flashed TWRP for the T-Mobile variant that ships with an unlocked bootloader, however your variant has a locked boot loader hence the boot Sig error. You need to flash back to stock with kdz and then flash bumped TWRP which works around the locked bootloader and allows you to flash Roms and kernals. You can download "bumped" TWRP here: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/, and here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614

If i flash back to stock, will my phone be functional again? Or do i need to flash "bumped TWRP"
what is "bumped TWRP" ?

Your phone will be functional again if you flash back to stock afterward if you want to flash roms you need to then install bumped TWRP. Bumped TWRP is a special version of TWRP that has been patched to make it possible to use on variants of the g3 with locked bootloaders like yours, by tricking the phone into thinking it is booting stock recovery. This will allow you to flash Roms and kernals that have been "bumped" and apply mods like you would normally be able to with TWRP. Bump is basically a bootloader unlock for your phone that let's you flash roms, kernals, and Recovery's.

You do not need to bumped TWRP unless you want to, you need to use the LG flash tool to reset your phone here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 and check the index linked above to find the .kdz for the tool

You need to download the correct .kdz file for your variant. The .kdz is the complete stock firmware from LG. Also, if you really have an AT&T LG G3 (D850) it is a 32gb not 16gb version. If your phone only has 16gb of storage then you do not have a D850 and you need to go to your software information in the phone to verify what model you have. Do not flash anything for another variant as you see where that leads. Check back and let me know when you find out for sure which variant you have and I will point you to a specific thread for your device with step by step instructions on how to use the .kdz method to return to stock, then flash a Bump'd TWRP recovery so you can make a nandroid backup and save yourself from this mess again. I am also unsure if the .kdz restore method can be done on Mac, but I'm pretty sure it cannot be done considering the program provided is a Windows executable. Best of luck.

I'm unable to get into my phone so I can't see what variant i have, but i do know that i have a 16gb on ATT.
I do have a windows laptop so i will attempt this on my laptop. Thank you so much for your help. I'll await your response.

All US Carriers for the LG G3 are 32gb models.

I cannot point you in the right direction without having an exact model variant number. You obviously don't have a D850, but there are a few 16gb variants out there. I would hate to be the cause of you further bricking your phone. If you can dig through your information from the retailer you bought the phone from and give me an exact model, then I can help you without worrying about screwing you worse than you're already screwed.

The model number is listed on the IMEI sticker that's underneath the battery. My model says VS-985W since I have a white Verizon G3. Yours should say some model that starts with a D. This same number should also be plastered in multiple locations along the inside edge of the phone once the battery cover is removed.

Ok, so the white sticker underneath my battery says LG-D850. There's also some D850 small white markings on the body of the phone.
The sticker on the box that my phone came in says "SW Ver D85010d"

Can you post a screenshot or two of your Storage page? The D850 is the AT&T model but they only come in a 32gb ROM / 3gb Ram storage option. All U.S. variants are of this variety and you should have access to 32gb of internal storage.

That link has everything you need to restore any variant back to stock. From there, you can root and Bump it if you want. Just download the KDZ from the link given in the OP of that thread. Make sure it says its for the D850 and try to find the earliest version possible if there are multiple options (eg. 10b instead of 10d if possible).

Ok so I clicked on the Firmware files link http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=X...+G3/Stock/ in the OP.
I then clicked on the very top folder which is ATT D850 folder. In that file, there's 3 different files. Do i need to download all these files?

Moto Z Play not upgrading to Nougat. Help.

I received the notification to upgrade to 7.0 this morning and as I was downloading I was notified I did not have enough space. After making space on my phone the notification does no show nor do I get the suggestions in the "System Updates". Whenever I try to update it tells me "Your device's software is up to date." even though it is still running 6.0. What do I do, I've tried a hard reset.

i guess your carrier will be late with updates, they mostly are. At least my old one was.
That is why i bought the phone without a carrier to get updates early and i got it 4 days ago. workes pretty good

Problem with upgrading to 6.0

Hi guys
Recently i bought my girlfriend LG G4. Now I think it's from Singapore, and I totally have no idea, how to update it. I have 5.1 now, and of course I wanna 6.0. Using automatic option from smartphone still showing "up to date". LG bridge is finding some firmware, but after downloading, at 1% i got error. LG UP always saying, that's bad kdz file ( I download 4-5 of them). When i'm trying to check version by IMEI on devtester, I get nothing. I have no clue what could i do next .

Go into Settings > About Phone > Software Version - at the bottom of the tab click on 'Software Version'. It should give you a version with 10(?) in it (last few numbers in the string). Find one with the same string with 20(?) for the same carrier.

By carrier, I mean the wireless company that provides the phone/texting services to your phone ... if the phone wasn't bought from the original services company.
If it was, the other option might be to try a factory data reset to see if it allows the update to 6.0 to come through automatically - you will have to back all your data first, otherwise you will lose it.

Well, I bough it from auction so it shouldn't be branded phone, but when i google it, i find information - buyer "EE". Quick look - provider from Great Britain? http://imeipro.info/report.html?token=cae9ce52b6c7405da35d3d01e2cbe86b

Tell him to flash the H815 European firmware... it will not do any damage because the OS has the same signature across all variants, so the bootloader will accept.

Read somewhere that LG flash tool working only with 5.1, not 6.0. About version - except 20b, i have also european so if first will work, i'll next . I know that i can't root phone with 6.0 but first of all - it's for my girlfriend and i think, that she don't care. Second - with quite long history with android, i never rooted any of them. I never saw a reason and also i'm bit scared when we're talking about more complicated actions . Anyway, thanks for advice. We will in next 5 hours if i finally get 6.0 on this phone

I recommend you root the device, then unlock the bootloader.

You're lucky you have the European version.. you have no idea how much hassle I went through to get that version...
So anyways, since your bootloader is unlockable, I recommend you unlock it first, prior to flashing anything mentioned by sdembiske.
I recommend you also root the phone and install TWRP, just incase something goes wrong while flashing, you can easily recover the phone, and not have it completely destroyed.
Once you have rooted, unlocked bootloader, and installed TWRP, you can safely do literally anything on the phone
Flashing the rom can easily make your 700USD device worth 0, within seconds... so Please .... take the precautions.... and install TWRP
Cheers

Even some of the LG G4 variants with locked bootloaders are rootable...... your variant is DEFINITELY rootable

LG Flash Tool has many more bricking issues than LGUP-NEW. If you ever decide you want to roll-back to 5.1, LGUP-NEW will throw up a roll-back version error if one is present - LG Flash Tool will not and will result in a bricked phone. Overall, your best and safest bet is to use LGUP-NEW.
One note: There are fraudulent sellers of supposed H815's out there and as you bought yours through auction there are no guarantees. To be on the safe side I would check with the seller to see if you can ascertain if he was the original owner and ask where the phone was purchased (what country) and who the original carrier was.

Well it didn't work. Anyway in download mode it show mi LG F500k. It's mean sth or it's normal name for g4

G4 F500k is the Korean version, isn't it??
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/korean-g4-f500k-t3150548
Before you do anything, be 100% sure what variant you have. To do so, please enter the following codes in the phone's dial pad:
*#546368#*815#
*#546368#*500#
If the first one works, you have the H815, if the second one works, you have the F500K ...
Report your findings,,,

Power down the phone, pull off the back cover and take out the battery. There should be a white tag under it - make a note of all the letters and numbers there. Provided the tag hasn't been tampered with, it should provide a good idea of what model you have and help narrow down your search for a kdz/tot that will work. I would still check with the seller of the phone and seek some verification. If the auction site is reputable, you may have some recourse if the phone is not as it was sold as.

The physical label is easier to tamper with, than the actual software. Just go by my suggestion.. the MMI codes.

The member providing you with the codes to access the hidden menu seems to have forgotten that not all codes work for the same models (as he himself found out when he tried once before) - there are carrier firmware variations with locks imposed on being able to access some. IMEI's can be changed by 'snakeheads, pimps' ... and fraudulent sellers.
Frankly, you are lucky you haven't bricked your phone completely by flashing different model/carrier variants and if you had used the LG Flash Tool to install the H815 kdz variant he recommended, you most likely would have. The same member has, for a fact, provided misleading, misinformed and potentially very harmful advice to other less informed members.

Hey buddy, let's check whether your bootloader is unlockable before you do anything. Please download ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
Before we do anything, make sure "Enable OEM Unlock" and "USB Debugging" options are enabled.
Once you install ADB, open Command Prompt (Press Windows Key + R , then type 'cmd' and press Enter key)
Issue the following commands:
Code:
cd C:\adb
Code:
adb start-server
Code:
adb devices
At this point, your device should show up under the list of devices. If it doesn't issue the following commands to restart the ADB server:
Code:
adb kill-server
Code:
adb start-server
Then, check again whether the device is being detected
Code:
adb devices
If the device is not showing, please check whether drivers are properly installed
If the device is being shown, you can proceed to the following command:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
If the device just boots back to Android, then the bootloader is locked, and you could have any device aside from the H811 or H815 European version
If it boots into the bootloader, then you have either the H811 or the H815 European version, and you should be able to easily root, install TWRP and flash any variants kdz file.
Now, if you have got this far without booting back to Android, time to unlock bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Once complete, issue:
Code:
fastboot getvar unlock
If you get the message "Unlock: Yes", then you have successfully unlocked bootloader.
Hope this helps

Unknown imei Moto g6 play.

Hello I was rooting my Moto g6 play and made the awful mistake of not backing up efs partition ( I know Dumb). I got it all done and booted up and now unknown imei. I was wondering if there where any tech savvy people on here that would know how to fix this problem. I know the Imei and if I fastboot getvar I can see the iemi. Plzz help thanks.

Just flash stock firmware. thats a pretty big mistake to make lol I'm pretty sure I made it quite clear in my guide to backup at least 2 or 3 times. But just flash stock firmware using the commands at the bottom of my guide. Even if the bootloader is locked the commands will work to reflash it still. The need links for stock firmware is also in the guide. And I will say this. If you took the newest update before rooting then you will have to wait for that firmware to be uploaded because its not uploaded yet.

The newest build is only a few days old so it will be nearly impossible to find online. And it has a different baseband and radio than the previous build. But the October update is OCP27.91-150
As long as the imei isn't zero you should be able to get service back. I had the same issue when I flashed an older firmware like a moron. But when I took the update again, I got service back. I don't recommend it because I may have just been lucky, but no matter what don't flash the gpt, asdspo(?) And bootloader with the older firmware. It'll mess your life up.

Ok i guess ill have to wait it out. Tried to flash stock and still unknown imei and no base band version so guessing it was updated. Thank guys!

Try taking the update again over WiFi if you can. You shouldn't have an issue as long as you're back to stock. But the update is only 3 days old so you may have a chance.

At this point no it's gonna need a full reflash of the firmware. I was having issues with my service and went and flashed the OEM file from the 2nd update through fastboot and did the erase carrier command and got my service fixed. Could try that.

If you have the xt1922-9 then that means you have the att version if I'm not mistaken. If so just go to the links in my guide for stock firmware in the att folder.

Baseband is software. Radio is a piece of hardware. The piece of hardware that gets your carrier's signal. It can't be upgraded without physically altering the phone. Even then it would need to be the same exact radio because the stock drives probably wouldn't work, and the chances of a dev making a version for 1 person with a different hardware would be slim to none.

Another user had issues with fastboot, could get into mode but nothing worked in fastboot. I might suggest letting it die, then using buttons to download mode while connecting to a PC. But either might work. Would love to hear either way.

That led me to https://www.reddit.com/r/LgV35/comments/blt10i/how_to_flash_kdz_firmwares/, I extracted the .dll from the unlocked Pie .kdz (V350ULM20d_00_NAO_US_OP_0612) but now when I try to launch LGUP it says the .dll for v350awm10w is not properly installed.

Thanks for that link Shawn. Unfortunately after about an hour stuck at 91%, the download mode rebooted. Now it autoboots into the bootloader. I can see it through fastboot devices, but the only on-phone options are restart and power off. I tried to extract the laf.img from the Oreo Fi .kdz and fastboot boot laf.img but I got the g.co/abh warning and it rebooted into bootloader again so I'm stuck. Any help you can give would be great.

Anybody figure this out?
Also US unlocked v35 tried upgrdaing from 8.0 to 9.0 , stuck at 91% and now forever in fastboot mode
anyhelp would be appreciated
thanks
