I have a rooted/unlocked verizon lg g2. The screen just shows snow on it regardless of what i do. Power cycle it and the LG splash screen is just snow. Power it completely off and back on and still snow. Would you guys bother attempting to flash it to factory defaults? I am not sure if i'll even be able to cmplete this without the screen working....

Okay, fairly experienced android user here and i generally figure issues like these out fairly quickly before but anyway Decided to run some test on my sprint LG G3, went to the hidden menu ran the test fine in manual mode but decided to try the device test and that is where **** hits the fan. it said the device will need to restart and it did and it boots into the minios screen with the arrows jumping upwards then blank. touched the screen and a circle with a plus sign in it shows up and the colors change depending on how may fingers am using but now i can't get out of it, removed the battery and insert same thing. I really don't want to do a factory data wipe. saw a thread on here from somebody that had the same issue with the verizon LG G3 and he was able to fix it by just holding down the power and selecting normal boot. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me, am on sprint LG G3, nothing shows up with just holding down the power button. I tried restarting and keep the power button held down and still nothing it boots straight into the minios animation and then blank screen. If anybody have something i can try besides full data wipe i would really appreciate it. Again am not some noob that decided to play doctor with the hidden settings without knowing what i was getting into, funny thing is i ran these test before and it worked out fine not sure what is different this time but then again its android anything can happen. Also i have encryption turned on am not sure if that is a factor. Side info, am stock kit kat, non rooted and all.

If you're not getting the "Touch screen here" or something like that then you're probably gonna need Flashtool. Follow this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54912191&postcount=1
Usually, in Mini OS, if you're not getting the "BIG RED 2", Hold down the power button along with touching the screen. So you do them at the same time.
Other than that, Flashtool is the only way I can think of.
guys I am also in same situation. My LG G3 is encrypted and while doing diagnostics, it went in to MiniOS mode with nothing showing on the screen.
any one can help with way out?
So, my V10 just decided to nuke itself. I was browsing through gmail and it locked up. Completely unresponsive. Pulled the battery, tried to get into download mode and it does, but it also locks up and won't show the green android. It just shows the small download mode icon and the bubble things. I try going into recovery. It goes into modified recovery (with safe mode, etc)... I click on factory reset and it just goes back to the LG boot screen.
My phone literally bricked itself...

This actually happened to me last month. Was reading a pdf and all of a sudden it froze and started bootlooping. Tried pulling out battery, download mode, etc and nothing worked. Even tried reflashing firmware. Ended up having to send it back to LG, they had to replace the flash memory
VZW replaced it under LG's 1 year warranty. Apparently it's a common LG problem affecting the G4, G5, and V10.
I recently had a similar problem with my V10 VS990. I'm on my 3rd phone now. I took the most recent OTA update and my phone started having issues getting a location lock in Navigation(google maps) and also it would show nothing in recent apps when I'd had tons of apps opened. So I finally went to Verizon and they sent me a replacement. When I got the replacement everything seemed normal but then I started having the same problems with the replacement. I believe it was a refurb. Well I called Verizon again and ordered a 2nd replacement. Just after hanging up with the VZ rep, the display of the phone started to become unresponsive. I was puzzled so I rebooted. Still same thing. The display would come on but I could not unlock the phone. I kept messing with it and finally got it to unlock but the display was not reactive to touch. I messed with it until I could get to the security menu and was able to factory data reset it before shutting it off. It was just weird how the display just suddenly became totally unresponsive. It would turn on and looked perfectly fine but would not do anything when tapped or touched.
Me too. Bootloop issue. A well known problem with the LG V10 **grumble** Apparently it is hardware related.
I took mine back to Verizon and had a replacement the next day.
Very strange problem. I have a LG G3 D855 for 1 and a half years now(rooted)
My phone was at a very low percentage, and I heared it go out. Happens to everybody, nothing strange so far.
I connected it to the charger and I turned it on, i heared the startup noise, but nothing happened. No pincode screen or unlock screen. Stuck at LG life is good screen. I actually was able to take a screenshot, i heared that sound when pressing power and volume down key. I know it is just right away from the main screen, but why is my screen freezing at startup logo? Tried to hard reset and clear all data, then I get a secure confirmation (verify) error. then my led starts to flash red and blue. Battery taking out and still no success.
How to fix this? Also screen is recognizing touch at the startup screen (when it fades away i click on it and it turns brighter)
EDIT: I blindly went into whatsapp and i am able to type and answer calls blindly wtf. Now I got a blue screen, everything is operational, the screen is blue now
Edit: I can actually blindly unlock my phone with my knock code, and hear messages coming in. The screen just freezes on life is good. I can hear it is unlocked wtf is this.
Never rooted this phone before, was just trying to reset the phone. I did factory reset through recovery mode and now I get the white tmobile screen and blue led screen and it just hangs and the phone gets super hot.
Is there anyway to recover this phone to factory settings or is it dead now? I don't really get what I did wrong.
At one point i was in download mode and it said it was downloading something but my battery fell out so idk if thats what messed it up but i've tried several resets since and it keeps hanging.
I have an LG G3 VS985 that shuts down immediately after verizon splash screen. I have tried going into the recovery menu and booting in safe mode, and wiping the cache and I still have the same problem. Also with the phone running off of just battery it only shows the lg logo and resets, if it is plugged into the wall then it will show the verizon splash screen and shut down. I have not tried a factory reset because the person wants to recover some stuff from the phone. Anyone have any suggestions? Or am I going to just have to go ahead and resort to trying some stuff that will lose all their data.
