I remember reading that TWRP doesnt allow the phone to charge when it's off..? is this true?
To test, we turned the one x+ off and plugged it in.. the orange LED came on, but then got dim.. so I unplugged it.. and it never went out.
If I let my one x+ die, will i be able to recover?
Look for, download, then flash the stock recovery. It will now charge when off. Before u flash a new Rom just flash back the twrp recovery. After u flash new Rom, flash back the stock recovery.

wow.
so do you confirm the non-charging status of TWRP when phone is off?
what if the phone dies while i'm out and about, and when i get home... and plug in my phone.. will i have a brick?
whom can i email about this you reckon?

Your phone will not charge when off if your using TWRP.

ONLY on AT&T not the Inter one just dont let it die die
Omg this is nothing short of a deal breaker. If wifey let's her one x+ die while she's at work, it will become a brick?
Is anyone reading this?
Well this is good info to know. Maybe it should be a sticky for anyone who may be on the fence with flashing. I probably would of done it anyway but it definitely is good to know.
Any chance this will be fixed in the future?

Then sit down and build your own recovery. Otherwise flash the stock recovery on her one x+ and never worry about it. You only need TWRP when flashing a new rom.
I mean **** this is a problem.
Where to find stock recovery? We don't flash enough zips in recovery to justify the "gotta rush home phone is about to become a brick"

Please note your question at the top is wrong. The device does charge while off. It has an issue coming on from a dead battery
I will upload stock at&t recovery and edit this post with a link shortly.
**EDIT** Stock Recovery (FOR AT&T ONLY, IF YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO FLASH IT ON THE INTERNATIONAL YOU DESERVE WHAT EVER COMES) can be found here: https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/665115AABBFA49E783795815A6E5666F4

About the question being wrong: that is why it was a question, because I don't know what it will (or won't) do.
So you say.. If she's talking on the phone and it dies, it's a brick? It is still not clear.. And lloir came thru and flamed and didn't even set me straight about what it does and doesn't do.

99.9999% chance. I heard someone else say they got it to charge but it took 30 minutes and luck. There is a large chance they are wrong given the knowledge level of most XDA memebers he probably had an international version.

You have to go to settings-->power and turn fast boot off. Then turn the phone off, then back on while holding power and volume down
Once you actually have a reason to go there, you'll know how to from here.

Smart enough to Post this in the right section, but not smart enough to not flash a ROM for a different phone from a different section of the forum...
YDI?
Take this as a learning experience and learn to READ THE POSTS/FORUM SECTION BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING that could potentially ruin your 500$+ smart phone?
I know they were working on a way to unbrick NA SGS 3's through the Toolkit, but i'm not sure how far they actually got with it.

I feel all of your pain. I'd fall down & cry in the middle street if my phone would come back alive. I just gave $599.99 on June 26th of this year. Mine is graveyard dead too. I have a jig too and it does nothing on my phone after this.
The phone beeps? Can you better describe whats happening and on what machine?
No offense, but I don't understand your logic. The price you paid is irrelevant. You ostensibly bought a working product, which you immediately attempted to modify, and you made a mistake and broke it.
It seems to me that you're trying to assign blame to someone other than yourself.
To the OP, you could try a JTAG. I suggest coming clean to your father outright - accept responsibility and move forward with a solution.
If the JTAG doesn't work, Samsung may or may not be willing to repair it for a price.
Good luck.

No, not at all. The computer tries to connect to it over & over and it wants me to to reformat one drive over & over as long as it connected. It's bricked.
It is completely hard bricked. I had the same exact thing. From flashing the same exact rom. About 2 weeks ago.
The phone shows no sign of power whatsover. When you plug it in to the PC however, it asks if you want to format E... then again.. and again... keeps repeating until you unplug the phone regardless of if you click yes or no, it will keep asking until there are hundreds of windows that all say "Do you want to format E"
Mobiletechvideos did infact fix it with their jtag repair, but this is THE ONLY way to fix. Jig does not work.
Sorry bud but I know your exact feel. Because I seriously did this exact same damn thing 2 weeks ago

JTAG is the way to go.... I installed an international ROM to my rogers note. Total hard brick. It wouldn't do a thing. Sent it to mobile tech videos and they sent it back 100%. Well worth the $50...... good luck.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't touch that with an 80ft pole!!!
First off, it's not for the G3. It's L90
Second, and most important, None of the devs working on it have put it out there yet. I'm sorry, but maybe I'm too sceptical to believe that if this has been out since Aug 8th, Why is it not available here?! Or even rumor of it?
I really hope you didn't just ruin your phone. My guess is this has something to do with the T-mo version of the G3 at best. Not to be used on the Sprint version.

You're a braver person than I.
In that thread you linked, Sammyz has the partition layout. It's no where near what ours is as far as I could tell. There were many differences.
So even if you managed to get it unlocked, I would think your offsets and partition names/sizes would be wrong now.
I may be totally wrong, and I truly hope I am. But this is a risk I wouldn't recommend to anybody yet. And definitely not for me.
But to try to help you if you want to continue, AT YOUR OWN RISK, I guess you could try the recoveries in the LG G3 forums, under general. It's tethered and might be the safest, but it's also not for Sprint
Bare in mind though, Sprint Does Not have a recovery yet.

It's an unlock for a different model lg phone. At best trying it wont work - at worst you are now bricked. People can be a$$hats.....
I looked through the script and its pulling the partitions by name which is good. The thing i see that would worry me is erasing the the boot img to access fastboot, But it does backup the boot and then flashes it again. I think i might give this a go later when i grow a bigger pair...lol

Then it might has something to do with your device since I dont have any issues.

I am happy with the gift I got for christmas, however im sure with root it would make it just a bit better before I can shell out 400 dollars for a new watch that looks better.
I know that there isnt kernel source, and that sucks. But I really am hoping that any other mods can work with it.

Im scared that something goes wrong and that my watch will stay in a bootloop.
Because they dont have fastboot images so I cant fix it.

that is true.
I did find some sources that i may be able to use to get twrp and hopefully flash something to root it
