I have bricked LG L40 that is stuck in a loop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
my LG L40 is stuck in kind of a loop. I can't get past the LG Logo. I tried to factory reset it via Vol down + Power button and got into the user menu for the factory reset but when I start the reset it the phone just powers off.
When I first try to charge it, it says the battery is at 74%. But after I tried to factory reset it won't charge at all, it just shows the charging screen for 2 seconds then turns off and boots again into the charging screen. Repeat infinite.
I can't get into download mode either.
After getting the battery out for some time and putting it back in I get a working charging screen, but if I then try to factory reset the phone again it will be stuck in the charging screen loop again.
When the charging screen is working and the phone is connected to the PC it installs drivers for a "battery charging device" or something like that. I couldn't access the phone in any way from my pc, though.
Is there anything I can do?
The last owner of the phone said, it was just working fine and then started behaving like this suddenly. He says it might be a battery problem. I can't test that though. Would've to buy a new battery. Maybe he is lying?
Any help is very appriciated! Thanks in advance!

Try to flash it!

Got to downloadmode and flash stock ROM.

Google is a good way to start, I googled "lg l40 bricked" and got this, maybe you should try it? I recommend a cse flash.

[Q] P500 turning off after severals seconds. Weird image.

I put my phone at charging last night when it was turned off.
This morning, I saw the screen was on, but black.
I tried pressing some buttons, nothing happened, I pulled out the battery and pulled it in again.
Turned the phone on... the LG logo screen appears, after around 3-4 seconds, it's some kind of blink(0.5-1 seconds) and the LG logo appears again. After another 2-3 seconds, some kind of battery appears that is charging on the screen and then the phone turns off. Tried 2-3 times and same thing. (Note: Phone wasn't charging! The charger was removed)
What to do.....? My ROM is AOKP.
Things I tried:
Charging the phone without battery(reboots again and again)
Pulled out the sd card and pulled in again.
Tried to boot into recovery but no success.
When connecting to PC, the phone is detected, but detection dissapears when phone closes(explained above)
> If you already tried all of those, then recover using kdz updater, flash the stock rom, root back, and flash recovery again.. well.. lets wait for more replies might help you out.
what phone mode should I select?
CS_emergency, diag or Emergency?
My phone screen is right now black(it's turned off but screen is black)
Edit 1: betashot.net/50hZELt.png < open in webbrowser , it's an image.
Edit 2: I managed to boot into recovery mode, cleared cache, dalvik cache and battery stats and now it seems it's working...
> thats goOd to hear now.
Sent from my little fingers.. to your face using XDA app
This is one old problem. Whenever it happens.. just boot into recovery and REBOOT from there!!
This is happening to me and I can boot by getting into recovery, however I need to sell my phone and worried it will be classed as faulty,any idea how to fix properly.
Already tried the delete data etc

Lg p760 Dead boot

During normal use the phone just locked up and wouldn't respond so I took out the battery and put it back in expecting for it to just turn back on but it just stayed at the Lg logo and I realized what had happened, (I have had multiple issues with this phone in the past) I just shoved it in my pocket and went on business when I pull it out again and the screen is black I click the power button and it shows (Translated from polish)

Reset phone
I've had this happen once before so I sighed angrily and pressed the button to wipe my phone. Nothing again nothing, again and nothing. The button wouldn't do anything. So I reboot it and this time it just hangs I let it go for 3 days straight on the LG logo. I try various methods to reflash the phone back to a working state none of them work and the last one is what shattered it. This is the link for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748384 I try using that tool and it goes to 27 percent and fails so I try again and it the process won't start so I (apparently not learning my lesson about rebooting phones) take the battery out and try to get into s/w mode again. It won't go so I rush to my only computer with fast boot working and I couldn't get anything to flash onto the phone. The partitions are missing apparently. So how do I reset my partition table so I can reflash my phone. Note I did try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546571 but the LG software kept erroring about 25%.

LG-T385 flash stock/unbrick help

can anyone help with unbricking lg-t385? friend gave me the phone saying it just turned itself off and after that it doesnt work (as always, nobody touched anything :/ )
when turned on it hangs at LG logo, if i remove the battery and connect it to pc the same happens although by the plugged in sound on the pc you can tell that the phone is connected, it even shows up in device manager. if you remove the battery and plug in a wall ac charger the same happens, phone turns on and hangs at the logo. tried pressing all the combination of keys to get to recovery or hard reset. nothing works.
flashing, rooting, unbricking etc is not new to me, but this is my first lg and first non android phone for that matter.
tried flashing with LG Mobile Support Tool without luck cause it doesnt recognize the phone.
can someone please help, or just point me in the right direction as to how to reset it to factory or flash stock?
thanks in advance
nobody?

LG H850 - No boot, No Recovery, PLEASE help

Hi all,
To get right to the point, my phone doesn't switch on, and I cannot get into recovery/download mode.
The story:
After my apps kept on crashing for no reason, I restarted the phone. After the restart, when it asked my pin, the google app kept on crashing and the phone completely froze up.
Here is where I suspect I made a HUGE mistake. I Took out the battery and started up the phone again. It immediately told me that the system is corrupt and "cannot be trusted".
I continue the boot process, only to land in a boot loop. I take out the battery once again and restart the phone.
After displaying the LG logo, it just turned off. And that was the last time I could get it on.
I tried booting into recovery, but the phone won't even switch on to begin with.
Absolutely no response. Screen stays pitch black.
I tried doing it with the USB cable in, same result. Nothing.
I also read up on the different combinations to get into download mode to no avail.
Stock ROM and firmware installed, no mods whatsoever.
Android 8.0
Can anyone please suggest anything I can do to save my device?

Samsung j6 soft brick problem

Hi guys, I have a samsung galaxy j600fn/ds, tryed to flash twrp, something went wrong and now I'm locked on the ''Samsung'' logo screen
I guess it is brick, though I'm totally stuck at the screen, the phone won't even turn off, so I don't know how to acces download mode to install stock firmware.. anyone can be of help?
EDIT: solved.. of course the solution was just to wait for the battery to be completley depleted, I just got scared there not beeing able to do anything
Wait-
So you just let your phone in bootloop all night (?), then you charge it without turning it on,
waited till 30%, and then you put it in download mode and installed the firmwere?
Does it really work? 'cause I tried to do that before, and the bootloop stopped. I tought I ended up into an hard brick.
I pressed powen and tried to put the phone into download mode, but nothing.
I put the usb on my pc, and odin was actually reading it, so I tried again and again to get into the download mode.
Afret 30 minutes, i pressed power again, (and finally) the boorloop restarted.
Well um.. the phone now is probably at 60%.. I hope it wont stop again, and I hope this method will work.
