Hello Xdma,
I have a rooted LG G3 D855 (D85520H to be exact). Recently I decided to try and downgrade the firmware from lollipop to Kitkat and failed uberly. For some reason my device had no download mode, and when I tried to put it in this mode, it would go straight to fastboot.
I decided to take matters into my own hands. I found out the only way to get back download mode was to flash the correct laf.img file to my phone. I have all the adb and fastboots installed on my computer. I thought life would also be easier to flash this buy getting a TWRP recovery. I tried using flashify for this. Unfortunately after flashing it I was forced to reflash to the stock recovery because it could never get into recovery mode . Instead the screen would go black and the led light would flash red and blue.
Just as I was losing it I then proceeded to do something utterly stupid. I erased the system img from my phone (as well as the laf but I have a backup copy) through fastboot.
I am now unable to get past the LG logo after turning it on. How would I go about fixing this? Feel free to call me as many names under the sun for the stupidity of my actions.
Btw I am an android nooby so be nice and talk in a language I can understand!
Thank you for any available advice!

Just got a P350 the other day to mess with, rooted it in seconds with Gingerbreak.apk. Installed ROM Manager (P350 & ROM Manager do not mix) and installed wrong custom recovery like a nooby and ended up with 4 flashing lights and stuck on boot screen,
I could still boot into fastboot and into emergency. I could also get the phone to communicate with my laptop through fastboot. (I did have to mess with the driver as far as I can remember) You can check by going into device manager and checking.
I then decided to run:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
,
Well that got rid of being stuck at the boot screen. but it still wouldn't boot up, it was now stuck with a black screen with fastboot and something else underneath on the screen. But it was still reconised by my laptop as an Android ADB device, so fastboot still worked. I could also still get into emergency mode as well, but didn't need to go there.
I then decided to run:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-pecan-2.2.1-GNM-drap.img
the one I should of flashed in the first place.
rebooted and all was fine, with custom recovery working fine aswell. All is good again. I then did a Nandroid back up
I've included a link to 1 of my 4shared folders with the ROM's mentioned, the Custom Recovery, a theme file and KDZ.
http://www.4shared.com/folder/8EQ_Fbzw/LG_Optimus_ME_P350.html
I then flashed Pecamod_V.5.zip then changed to Pecamod_#Metapod.zip, I then wanted a black status bar so I flashed Hmdll_green_shine_3.zip over it. The UI looks great now, but it is awfully slow.
I'm thinking of trying either #Wartortie.zip or me_mod.zip. I'm strugling to find any more Custom ROM's, any sugestions welcome
Has anyone found any other ROM's and if yes what are they like?? If not can anyone suggest any different ROM's to try?
What are you using???
--------------------------------------------------
One more thing, is anyone working on a custom 2.3 Gingerbread ROM ??
Thanks Marc
DOWNLOAD -- ROM's Recovery, KDZ, theme, Gingerbreak_v1.2.apk -- LG Optimus ME P350
Once youve got it sorted download Terminal from the Android Market, and to boot into recovery, open Terminal an run:
su
reboot recovery
Then do a Nandroid back up

Jaypanda, what did you do to enter the fastboot commands?
I just wanted to make a recovery backup with ROM manager, but my P350 restarted while doing that...
Now i've the same problem as you described in your first thread: it stucks on LG logo, flashing lights on the 4 buttons, can't get in recovery mode (HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER), gave up the plug-in and -off trick i've read in some forums after more than 30 tries, my computer doesn't recognize it!
Please help me.
Thanks in regard!

Hello all!
I am back to see if anyone has any more ideas with what I can do to resurrect my LG G3. To recap, I tried to flash android 5.0 and I had forgotten to re flash the stock recovery prior to doing so. Long story short I completely botched the process and I am left with a LG G3 that can only access system recovery selection menu. When ever i try to just boot the phone by holding the power button, it shows the G3 boot image and then an error in the top left reads: "Boot certification verify".
From there, the phones screen turns off and the led flashes amber and blue until I pull the battery.
If I remember right, I need to find a way to re flash download mode but it has been several months since I tried to repair it..
Hope you guys can provide me with some input!
I linked a video I made of what happens when i try booting the phone below:

I had to do a warranty exchange through the insurance. It is not worth
The effort since we don't have fastboot. Got a brand new replacement.
Hope you can do what I did. Told them the truth that the phone
Would not boot up. Nothing else.

Totally would have done that had I not dropped my phone in water:silly:
Just pay the hundred and use the insurance, you can report it lost.
This way you can have spare parts.
You can also replace the motherboard. Sometimes you can get them
For 100.00 but I'm only seeing them for 150.00 on eBay.
Id like to hear that you can unbrick this phone but I doubt it with
No fastboot. Good luck.
Since it will boot cant you just usecthe lg flash tool thingamajiger and flash a .kdz

so, you can access recovery menu, does that mean you are in recovery?
if so, is it stock recovery or twrp?

You need Download mode to restore to stock via KDZ or TOT. He's lost Download mode, apparently.

Can't he flash the download fix from within twrp, assuming that's the recovery he is talking about?
I was trying to flash CyanogenMod to solve my storage problem, because 8 gb wasnt enough for me. Rooted my phone, tried to unlock bootloader. But as it is a rare model, I couldnt find any guides. While searching the forum, I found an unlocked D618 bootloader and flashed it with Terminal(Don't laugh im a samsung guy, we do everything with odin :silly: ). Then, I rebooted the phone and the touchscreen was flipped 180°. I tried to flash old bootloader files with terminal but it didnt work. Flashed aboot.img and abootb.img with Flashify, it made the phone even worse. Flash tool gets stuck at 2% while flashing stock firmware, idk if recovery works, but the phone doesnt boot up.
Summary
-Download mode works but Flash tool gets stuck at 2%
-Phone doesnt boot up
-Recovery is probably dead, i saw watchdog error 2 days ago

Thank you
any ideas? im still waiting with a phone waiting to be repaired
i sold the phone, thanks for your help
Lg g5 dead while ota update installation.
Everything I plug in a charger or press power button, lg logo appears and then a black screen with an error on top left corner.
After 1-2 seconds phone would restart and goes through this never ending loop.
Phnoe does boot into the recovery mode and except that I'm not sure about anything.
Got it checked at multiple locations but still no luck.
Had this phone laying around for over a year now in same condition.
Don't know what can be done.
Please help!
I'm not sure about the model number but in the inside of back door and on the charging port brick it says Ls992.
hmmm... if i were you, i will just go to flash TWRP recovery and then i custom rom OR even stock rom. I mean, your rom seems completely vanished, so just go to the many guides there are out there, to unlock bootloader, and flash TWRP and a rom
You can probably still boot it into fastboot or download mode, you could try flashing TWRP recovery in fastboot, or the stock firmware .KDZ in download mode.
Yes, fortunately you are only soft bricked. You can boot into download mode and reflash with lgup.
I have a LG G Vista VS880 that I rooted with Kingroot. My next step was to nuke the LAF, go into fast boot and use fastboot oem unllock to unlock the bootloader so I could install custom recovery. I got as far as nuking the LAF when I had to stop and fix dinner for the kids. When I got back to the computer I forgot that I hadn't unlocked the bootloader yet and flashed the custom recovery and a magisk patched boot.img using flashify. Now it will not boot into system or recovery. I can get it to boot into fastboot mode by holding the volume up button while plugging it in but all my fastboot commands are locked. I have searched the forums and have found nothing except some info on getting into QHUSB mode by shorting out the test point but that post was for the G3 and when I took off the back plate the configuration was different and I didnt want to mees my phone up any worse than I already had. I just want to get back to stock and start over. Can someone please help or at least point me in the right direction?!?!?!? I would welcome any assistance!
