I hope someone can help? I have an AT&T LG G3 (D850) that boots up with an error message at the logo screen. It does not go any further than that. I can get the phone in recovery mode only. I have reset to factory several times. No luck. Additionally, my computer does not recognize that the G3 is connected, so can't use Odin to flash recovery.
Is there any way to get the phone to work again? Or, am I looking at a very expensive paper weight. I thank you in advance is you can help me out.

Thanks for your help. The phone was rooted, so I am sure that AT&T will say that I voided the warranty. But, it does not hurt to try.
If it won't boot they can't tell doubt they will check anyway

Thanks for your response. Odin does not highlight a port, when the phone is connected. ADB says no device found. I think I will go to Best Buy and ask their Samsung Expert to update ROM, which might get it out of loop.
While in recovery you should be able to mtp xfer a stock rom to your downloads directory (SD card), and flash it, would be my hope. I believe you did say you can get to recovery.
What happened/changed that left it error booting?

Maybe I am using the wrong term...I can hold the volume button down and power button to get it to a screen where I can wipe the data to factory. Besides that I cannot get to any other screen. I was trying to flash Philz recovery on the device. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Are you on OEM recovery? If on TWRP recovery you can MTP a file to the SD and flash via that. I'm not familiar with OEM recovery other than seeing it once.

First of all, thank you for all your responses. I really appreciate that. I ended up sending the phone to LG to be fixed. I just want the phone fixed and server as my backup now, since I bought the Samsung Note 4 and Gear S. Will update, when I hear back from LG. Thanks again.
Sounds to me that the drivers are not loaded correctly on the PC. If you can get to recovery you should be able to get to DL, I would think.

Hi,
My phone stuck in CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3 blue screen.
I searched alot in this forum and google, every one said to use ODIN to get back to stock,
I tried ODIN recovery to get back to stock, by my PC doesnt recognize my device (because ODIN requires device to be in download mod). So how can I fix this? Please help me.
Thanks in advacne

First... what where you doing to get it on blue cmw in the first place?
Also im not saying you are doing it wrong... and im SURE you have tried like 1000 times but lets check:
1.-pull battery out
2.-connect cable to PC and to phone
3.- while connected to PC and battery OUT press BOTH volume keys at same time
4.-while pressing both volume keys and conected to pc trough micro usb introduce the battery
Thats how you go into DL mode... if it DOESNT.... damn... you messed up your bootloader? at the VERY least you should get a:
"Phone-----!-----Computer"
sign....
Not working still? hmm get an usb jig on ebay/amazing or anyplace you like to FORCE the DL mode... still try the steps i provided before... when entering DL mode only 2 buttons nedded not 3 like on CMW recovery read the steps... then try... try.... and try.
If nothing yet:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...Accessories&hash=item3cbb7b1e8c#ht_2419wt_905
or something similar... yet im 99% sure doing the correct steps should work.
And i repeat... im not saying your doing it wrong... electronic devices may fail anytime still... put the human part to work and read well the instructions and do them as said before we can blame a piece of metal/plastic xD
I really hope you can get it fixed.
Thanks for the detail steps koriotto.. I exchanged at ATT.

My phone wont even connect to Keis Air, i tried connecting my phone while its in download mode and when its stuck in the rethink possible screen. Still wont connect to Keis Air.
They way I was able to fix mine was to first open Kies then select initialize firmware and connect phone to USB port in back of PC. Follow the prompts they will ask for model number and serial number it is located under battery. Select OK. Once firmware is finished Downloading it will prompt you to accept, disconnect phone from PC and then place phone in DL mode by removing battery reinsert battery press volume +- and then volume + to continue once you do that then connect phone to PC via USB and follow screen prompt on PC. It took me about one hour for mine to finally return to stock. I'm going from memory because I'm not sitting in front of computer at this time. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can help. Good luck.

I used the new root tool for Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 running 4.3 and I tried to install Custom Recovery. I went into the Rom Manager App and clicked on 'Reboot into Recovery' and now the phone won't even turn on! Please help!!!!!
You can not flash custom ROMS or recoveries on 4.3. You are required to have an unlocked bootloader to be able to do such modding. Verizon and Samsung have perma-locked our bootloaders. No way around it as of now.
If you can get into ODIN mode (vol. down + power + home) you should be able to flash the stock VRUCML1 back to your phone through ODIN 3.07 unless you've hard bricked.
Search the forums for the stock image. But first just try to get into download mode (ODIN). Without that your stuck...good luck.

In theory, usb jig is for softbrick where you reset download mode and sdcard method is for hard brick where you let the phone boot up from its own bootloader which is located on the sdcard. You can try it won't hurt. Make sure you know what you doing..since usb jig required to play with circuit board stuff...

Sorry for the delay, been busy. Try the instructions? Has nothing to do with recovery working. You need odin on your oc and kies ti install the drivers, if it wil go into download mode it can be flashed.
Agreed. Should still be a way to get into download mode, although you may have to use an alternate route. The most reliable method (without extra hardware) is to (once USB cable connected to PC):
Pull battery.
Reinsert battery.
Hold down both volume buttons and plug in the USB cable.
Voila!

thank you so much for your help.somehow i got it back up and running
Had the same happen to me. It didn't want to go into recovery gave a message it failed. With some patience I manged to get the button combo to work for fastboot then did a flash-all of the factory image. I think the trick was it had to be plugged in to get to download mode and I think you may hit the power button slightly before the volume down. It was a bit tedious. I tried to recover the boot.img and that trashed things up worse, got no google loading logo or something odd. Anyhow flashing the full factory image fixed things!
Glad you got it resolved, maybe this helps someone else in the same spot.
