I got my LG G3 yesterday night and I tried rooting it for hours, I was on Andrioid 5.0.1 and couldn't get it to work after 6 hours of trying so this morning I tried to downgrade back to stock firmware and now everytime I try I get the Factory Reset Status 2 screen and I am told to just remove the battery and it'll boot but nope it just goes back to the same screen. This is becoming a nightmare I have tried multiple PC's Operating Systems, drivers, firmware files, and multiple tutorials and I cannot fix this.
I think the issue is when the phone reboots instead of being a COM port it becomes a MTP device so LG Flash Tool can't find the device.
I really need help, I didn't plan on spending the whole day trying to fix this but it seems I am going to have to.

If anyone can advise me here I will be very grateful. I have spent several days looking online and reading countless threads here but am still not having any joy. Am a bit of a noob so go easy on me please!
I have a rooted LG D618 running Lollipop (recently upgraded itself from Kitkat). Long story short, I was fiddling around with the bootloader trying to install a custom recovery (ahem... ) and I ended up bricking the phone. I have been trying since then to install the original firmware using LG Flash Tool 2014 and it always stops on the 4% mark whilst extracting the kdz. I have tried this about a hundred times and the same thing happens every time. The phone is completely dead, I can not switch it on and I am unable to boot it into Factory Reset mode using the keys either. But it is still being recognized by the PC (win7 x64) and can enter (what I assume is) download mode. However in Windows the phone is recognized as removable disk containing 2 folders - 'image' and 'verinfo'. Not sure if that is normal or not? I am able to start the kdz flashing process and it goes through the first couple of steps verifying connectivity etc and then stops at the aforementioned 4% during the file extraction process, sticks for a while, and then gives me an error message.
I tried a solution which I found on the forum here, which I think was for the same issue, involving the wx.dll file in C/ProgramData/LGMOBILEAX/phone but this has no effect. I thought it might be related to me installing the KitKat kdx (v10c) onto the phone but I have since tried flashing the stock Lollipop variant (v20b) also and the exact same thing happens so am guessing it is not because of the KitKat wx.dll file causing issues. I am pretty clueless here, all of this is unchartered territory for me and I am out of my depth so if any kind soul here can advise me on any possible solution I am willing to try anything before admitting defeat, and taking the phone to LG to fix under warranty and hoping they don't realize that I broke it. :laugh:
I have been at this for about 4 days, and I've spent literally all day today trying to get this to work. I'm having an issue with my phone where the battery is draining really bad, to the point that I have less than 3 hours of screentime on a full charge. I've read about mods and different installments you can use to fix this, but you have to be rooted. I was rooted before via Stump, but since then have unrooted back to the default. I tried to simply use Stump again but it says it's patched. After some research I found that I should flash back to a previous android version ( 10b ) and root it from there using Purple Drake, THEN use TWRP to update back to 5.1.1 lollipop. I'm running into some serious trouble flashing my Andriod. And I think its because it won't go into download mode. I turn it off and hold the volume button up whilst I plug it into the computer, and it goes directly into "Firmware update " 0%. And it has a progress bar, with no progress change I have no idea why it's doing this or what's causing this. I've tried the KDZ method, and it stops during the progress saying " Connection to server failed, please try again in a moment ", which I read was fine and to wait for a Green word on my phone screen and some changes, however the phone does absolutely nothing and sits on that same screen. I've tried the Lg Flash Tool method too, and there was an error saying " Failed Previous Load ()". I'm honestly exhausted and if someone could figure this out you'd be a lifesaver. Speaking of which, I'll buy you a whole bag of the fricking things if you do.
Any help is soooo very appreciated.
Thank you
Howdy,
Are you using the flash method described here?
You don't say which bootstack you're on. If you're trying to flash back from 35b you need a different dll. (LGUP8974.zip)
What Windows OS are you using to run the LG Flash Tools from? (It seems like success / failure can be very OS / USB Device driver related.)
For my phone, I had to get the flash tool ready to go - have the phone in download mode - and then unplug / replug the USB cable briefly on the phone in order for the process to initiate.
If you have some screenshots, that might be helpful too...
Hello
I need some advice and help if someone can.
My LG V10 was rooted and on latest Eliminators room. It was working perfectly and few days ago while ending the phone call it just switched off.
Since then i have been trying to bring it back to life but without any success .
I can boot it to fastboot but no commands are accepted in fastboot mode, no download mode . It only goes to logo and the information that software can not be checked , further from there it goes nowhere . Since i am mac user , i installed VM of Win 7 and only thing it detects is Qualcom 9008......
Please some advice and help what is possible to do.
In fastboot mode i can not do anything.......

This is the exact thing that happened to me last night too. I was wondering if my phone pushed the latest update on accident or something to cause it.
Another thread in the Q & A Section has reports of this happening and maybe being a hardware issue.
I plan on trying to do a full restore back to stock tonight when I get home from work to see if I can bring it back to life. I also read somewhere that you need to have the latest binary for fastboot to work.
The few minutes I messed around with it last night, my fastboot was sending but not writing. I'll keep you posted it I have any success tonight after work.
Side note the thread I mentioned above the S/N for the phones having issues started with 510...
Also, I can get mine to boot into recovery but once I try to erase or install it freezes and boot loops again.
I will play with it from tomorrow again. From yesterday i have gave it to one service center but they have not succeeded to do anything. I have succeeded in one moment to get to download mode which laster only about 2 seconds, not enough even to connect it to lg up, suspecting tht it is maybe something because of VM that doesn't' discover phone complerely. Tomorrow morning i shall pick it up and during next few days i shall try again, if i succeed to find a solution it would be good. I was also planing to do complete factory back up to stock last version. But...

I have the same problem with my v10 do you found a solution ?
No. I bought a new phone and my v10 is now a paperweight. I have not really tried too fix either. Jumped on project fi and got a got a 5x on the cheap. Couldn't be happier.
I've had luck flashing my LG from within a virtual machine, running on top of Linux Mint. I tried both VMware Workstation and VirtualBox. Just make sure to install the guest additions within VMware, or the extension pack within VirtualBox. Also download the LG driver and install that inside the VM too. Each VM software may have settings relating to sharing a real USB port with the VM, make sure you look into that and enable the relevant options. Otherwise the VM may not detect the device.
On the other hand, my v10 isn't hardbricked, I'm just going to hold onto it as long as possible until it goes belly-up. Which it will probably do sooner rather than later, if the issues I've had are any indication. If you're only seeing Qualcomm 9008, fastboot not responding to any commands, and no download mode, this def sounds like a hardbrick. If you're still under warranty I would recommend getting it replaced by LG. If you have insurance then cash it in.
This is the 3rd v10 I've had, so far I've done 2 exchanges if I remember correctly. These phones are definitely susceptible to big issues. Like the now famous LG bootloop scenario.
Hope you get this figured out!
My Lg G5 (Tmobile) keeps on rebooting to recovery mode (TWRP) no matter what rom I flash. I tried using LG Up software but no matter how many times I install the driver phone is not recognized. Firstly I flashed Fulmics ROM then I installed LineageOS (Cyanogenmod) after that phone was working fine for a while till I saw an update and tried updating it to new nightly version. Please help me out if anyone knows how can I fix this issue.
You probably need to put the phone in download mode and then try LG up otherwise try pushing a rom that works through adb

I am sure this method would fix it but I already returned my phone and got new one as I had 1 year warranty. I bought it from T-mobile and I locked the bootloader before turning in the phone so it doesn't look like I was trying anything fishy. Now instead of phone going to twrp each time it goes to boolop saying "device is currupted and won't boot". It won't go to recovery mode no matter what I do and hope I don't get charged from T-mobile saying this and that.
However, I am really grateful to all of you great people who tried their best to help and you sir actually threw me a solution but I was too impatient to wait for it. I know this method will work no matter what as I had been using this tool for my G2 in old days and fixed the worse bricks where I had to openup the whole phone take battery out and stuffs like this. I was looking for this method found everything but LG tool asked me for .dll file which I couldn't find anywhere and decided to give up on it...
Thank you for your help and now I know I am not going to be bricked anymore as I have this method to work with in future issues and am her waiting badly for Xposed to be available for Nougat.

Good to hear that, You are welcome,
And as you mentioned about "device is corrupted and won't boot", that's because you locked bootloader. And as you were using twrp which means modified system partition so phone said that. But you can still go to download mode and use the method to make it live or can try unlocking bootloader to start twrp.
I experienced similar situation. I thought I had to send my phone for repair. As I was able to put the phone to download mode, I used uppercut with downloaded kdz file from LG G5 development thread and restored my phone. I didn't use my phone for four days thinking that I had to take to a phone shop or send to service center. But after careful reading of unbrick tutorials, I brought my phone back to life. Now I can play flashing anything as I am confident that I can easily unbrick my phone.

A few days ago I got my G5 H830 and came with version 6.0.1 h83010i, looking for information on how to install custom rom, I read the post to install the .TOT file to be able to install TWRP and through this the Custom Rom, until there is Everything okay, I did everything right, but then I decided to go back to the Rom stock, on the night of that same day I saw that when I reboot my cell phone it stuck on the LG logo and it had some color pixels damaged (but no screen Damaged, if not because of small brick) then force a restart and continued the same, I did factory reset by stock recovery and then normal start, I went to sleep leaving it in 100% battery, and when I wake up in the morning the cell phone It is off, when I turn it on 5% and I get scared, then I wanted to go back to custom rom to leave those problems behind, but then when I install the TOT again and install the custom ROM it will restart half installed and any rom that installed it would stay Stuck and the LG logo and a bootloop until when it was flash the kdz several times until the cell did not want to ignite more, the pc does not recognize it or anything, I need help with this.
I recently purchased two new VS988 for an elderly friend of mine who loves his current G6 and was worried about LG getting out of the phone business. Trying to get the phones all set up for him I tried running the OTA updates which kept failing. After the OTA update process failed a dozen times or more I decided to try using the Windows VZW update utility. Finally, after a dozen tries the VZW utility finally managed to DL the FW to my computer but when it tried to install the FW it booted the phone into FW Update Mode and then failed to install. I have tried all of the listed methods of button presses to reboot the phone into any other mode but it always comes back to FW update mode. This morning I learned about the LGUP program and have given that a try and it stops at 4% with an error message that says "Error: 0x700A, ManipulateBootPT Failed"
I'm not sure what else to try. I'm using the cable that came in the box and a USB port on the back of my computer.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.
Maybe turn of recovery mode
How am I supposed to do that? No matter what buttons I try pressing when rebooting the phone it always comes back into FW Update Mode. I tried running the recovery process and the Verizon updater program and that had the same problem.

I don't recommend advice from that guy
The problem your having is stuck in download mode.
As long as you're not connected to a PC via USB and actively transferring a firmware file, you should be able to force shutdown by removing the battery and placing it back in (if possible) or pressing and holding Power for about 20 seconds. Then power on again normally.

Hey, did my information help?
Unfortunately nothing has worked I just ended up with two bricked phones. Thankfully they were just supposed to be back up phones for somebody that is unlikely to need them and can afford buying another replacement if something ever actually does happen to his primary. He has a lot of accessibility issues in a really prefers having the the buttons on the back of the phone so he doesn't keep turning it off accidentally.

If your android was stuck in recovery mode (as i know it), you could of just factory reset right?
forgive me it's been a couple of months since I bothered messing around with them but I believe it's not a generic recovery mode you know where you've got those four text options at the top you know and the Android with the exclamation point coming out of its chest but instead it's a firmware update mode. No amount of software tools or button key presses and we'll get the phones to do anything else. Both phones are dead right now cuz I just wanted to confirm what I was telling you whatever they managed to charge up later I will make sure what I'm saying is correct and I will let you know otherwise
If this is the screen you see, then i regret to inform you that your phone might have been bricked the entire time and you couldn't save it (unless you get new firmware for you device and install it). Trust me i had this experience before.
This is what I get. I try running the the Verizon LG update utility on the computer and after it reaches 11% or something like that it fails

Welp, my last geuss at this is that the previous owner got something like a virus to prevent the firmware update to continue. i've only worked with lg phones a few times, but those phones where very old (2008) and did not run android
Thanks for trying. I've given up and my friend didn't even get upset about it. Whatever went wrong happened when I tried to manually update them because the OTA kept failing. If he buys any more backups in the future I'll find him something a little more recent.
