Okay I have the LG G3 running stock ROM, Rooted, TWRP 2.8.7.0 custom recovery, & Xposed 3.0 alpha 4 installed.
Like a lot of people I'm getting the black screen on about 90% of reboots, & it won't reboot into recovery using TWRP, I have to boot into recovery the LG way and select wipe cache for it to boot into TWRP.
But every single time that I restart or Reboot, I get a message saying that Apps are updating / optimizing and I lose some of my settings like ringtone, bluetooth paired settings, and misc. others.
Anyone have any idea whats causing this or how to fix it?
I'm not a total noob, but I haven't played around much with LG phones.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. I searched for similar issues before posting.
The only suggestion I have about fixing it is to flash back to completely stock unrooted using the 10B KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014 in CSE mode, re-root using the Stump app, use TWRP Manager to put TWRP back on, and then start from scratch flashing a stock based ROM and restoring your apps.
You can use the built in LG Backup to back up and restore your apps. Make sure and move anything you want to keep to your MicroSD card since internal storage will be wiped when you flash the 12B KDZ in CSE mode.

Thank you sir, I'm not familiar with CSE mode you mentioned, I'll try to do some reading and get all the details of the modes, files and tools required.

You're welcome! When you run LG Flash Tool 2014 before it flashes the KDZ file you specify, you get a choice between "Normal" and "CSE". "CSE" is what you want to choose there, but it will wipe your internal storage so be aware. The return to stock thread in General should give you most of what you need.

Hi everyone. First time posting on the forums and unfortunately it's because of a major problem . So here's my situation:
A couple days ago I decided i would try to update my phone to 5.0 because the update was pushed OTA for the ls990. It supposedly installed with no error, but when it went to reboot it took me straight into my custom recovery. Now when i try to restore from backup, flash a new rom, or wipe the system it will say it was successful, but nothing will change and each time i reboot it takes me right back into recovery. I've tried booting into system or bootloader, but both of those options take me right back into recovery. If i pull the battery and wait then repower the phone it takes me right back into recovery. I need some help here because my phone is practically bricked, yet i still have access to ONLY recovery mode. During each reboot the LG logo does flash on the screen (not sure if that info is useful though). Here's what i'm running:
Specs:
Rooted and Bumped Sprint LG G3 (ls990)
Stock ROM
TWRP Recovery
Maybe this happened because it was a stock update and i didn't have stock android recovery for it to complete the upgrade? My /boot folder appears to be empty in TWRP, but im not sure if that's just because its not even mounting it or if im actually missing a kernel, bootloader, or something else. ANY help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Your gonna have to restore using this guide. It did happen because you were on custom recovery, anytime you want stock upgrade, you must unroot it and put stock recovery back on 1st. It's not bricked if it comes on, only softbricked, which can be fixed with download mode. That guide is well written.

also it was not the android 5.0 update..
Try this first before using the LG Flash tool

It should hopefully save you from wiping the phone completely.
Thanks

I reverted to stock firmware using the instructions on that thread and now everything is working! Thank you very much.
Now the only problem is that it seems the new sprint update patched the stump root exploit. Guess ill have to do the firmware flash again lol.

I think you need zv4 firmware to avoid this problem.

This will fix the twrp loop issue.
Hi so after updating from the stock zv6 to lollipop update my phone won't install a custom ROM. Every time I try to turn it on it goes straight to TWRP and went I install a ROM or try to load a backup as soon as I hit reboot it goes back to the TWRP page. Amy ideas?
You must flash back, using Flashtool, to zv4, then reroot, then flash newest TWRP. OTA software not included, because they flash every partition of the phone, including the boot loader. Stock roms like zv6 and zv8(lollipop)or AOSP, must be flashed from xda from here on out, because they've been modified to work correctly on zv4 boot loader. TWRP and root access only work correctly with zv4 boot loader.

It sounds like there is no OS installed or it is stuck a reboot-loop. Try pulling the battery out for 10 seconds and if it still goes into twrp you know that it isn't a reboot-loop. When you go to restore a rom and it has the bar that shows the amount of storage does it say "0 MB"? If it does it means that twrp can't mount the storage on the phone thus causing it to not install/reboot. Have you tried side loading a rom via adb? Are you trying to install a rom off of a sdcard? I have seen many issues in the past sdcard related.
If you can please answer the following:
1) What is the message you are getting from twrp (if there is any)?
2) Have you installed a custom kernel and if so witch one?
3) What twrp are you running (the bumped one from xda or from the official twrp site) and what version is it?
4) Have you tried adb and pulling the battery?
If you answer these questions they should be able to tell us all that we need to know in order to help you out.
Hello,
Anyway, I managed to format my phone, how can I restore my phone? I do have CWM installed, but I'm pretty sure that there is nothing we can do now? I can boot into CWM if I want, but there ain't much I can do. Would it work if someone would zip up their entire internal storage in CWM and send it to me, so I could restore my phone? Does it work this way? Anyway, any help is appreciated, otherwise I'll have to order a new phone probably. Oh also, I have stock KDZ file, is there a possible way I could install a stock ROM in CWM mode somehow?
Thanks!
Use this list to find the correct stock kdz for your phone according to the region(Ctrl+F -> type E460 -> search).
Then use the instructions in this thread to flash the stock kdz.
YOU WILL LOSE CWM RECOVERY! But since you want to revert back to stock, this shouldn't be a problem for you.
I was trying to update my phone using CM system update process and I realized that I had lost root access so I tried to root my phone agan using the latest available version of Stomp but when ran the app it reported that the software was not comparable with my phone. I have used stomp to root my G3 in the past without issue. I am using Twap 2.8.8 for my recovery. I tried to update to a newer version and that is how I food out that I had sometime in the last few month had lost root access. I then tried to go manual update and I Couldnt access the download folder in Twarp recovery, I guessing because I did not have root access. Then I think I made a big mistake by having twarp reset permissions, Thinking that might help. I rebooted the phone and now it just sits in the CM boot screen .
Please Help I am a relative noob and I am hoping that this can be fixed
"Stump" root only works on stock LG 10B. If you weren't using CM13's built-in Root capability (probably in the Developer's menu), such as if you were using SuperSU, you probably could've just flashed the latest SuperSU.zip from @Chainfire 's website.
Even on 10B, Stump reports it's not compatible but you have to choose the option to use the brute force method, which works on 10B but with a working custom recovery I wouldn't even try that on CyanogenMod.
Just wiping Cache and Dalvik/ART might solve things. If not, do those first again and dirty flash the latest CM13 ROM and SuperSU.zip if necessary, and anything else you normally flash like Xposed, then you should be fine.
If it still won't boot, you may have to flash the 10B TOT which will wipe everything including internal storage, and re-root with Stump, put TWRP on with TWRP Manager from the Play Store, and reflash CM13 and 35B Bootstack.
Access to download mode - Yes
Ok so someone came to me to have their phone firmware reflashed. The camera (if flash was on) would short the battery to zero and their storage was full.
Since LG is a pain to wipe, and KDZ's were not available, I rooted the phone with the toolkit, then I used the TWRP app to add in a custom TWRP (which I forgot where I got it from). I used an APM app to restart the phone into recovery (since the hard keys never work). Anyway, once in recovery I went ahead and wiped system, data, cache, dalvik cache. Bad idea, as I didn't flash a new system.....I should of put the ROM in there, but I didnt.
The phone was sitting in boot for 45 minutes after telling me no OS was installed.
So as mentioned, there seems to be no .KDZ for this phone. I can get into download mode, but that is it, Since hard keys WILL NOT TAKE IT INTO RECOVERY I cannot flash a system.
I did fine a Zv3.TOT through https://androidforums.com/threads/lg_ls660zv3_00-p33031-tot-for-boosts-tribute.1012893/
Now, that being said I followed the guide (changed port to COM41, set the only port to 1, loaded the DLL and TOT), BUT it stayed on waiting for device even after cycling back into download mode.
ANyone know of a way to fix this? Perhaps I used the LG flash software wrong? ZV6 KDZ where? Please help I need to give this phone back tonight, and want to have it working (else I am buying a new phone). Is there a way to get this into recovery? Too bad it isnt like samsung where download mode can flash recovery.
