Go to YouTube and search lg g3 boot loop, scroll down to the video by zedomax (how to unroot/unbrick lg g3!)
This video helped me, I did the exact same thing a few months ago! Hope this helps, I know how frightening it is.

Hey, I got you. I had the exact same problem yesterday... It was infuriating.
So boot to TWRP, plug your phone into your computer, then in TWRP go to advanced and hit enable MTP. This should allow your computer to access the G3's files after you've connected it. If you can't, google for the LG PC drivers for your model (it's easy).
Here's the zip you need to place on your device:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/flash2/LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery.zip
Then just flash it and you're golden!

Then I saw I had a new message on this post. Your fix absolutely worked like a charm and REALLY saved my bacon! I am fairly new to XDA but you saved me $700 for the cost of the new phone and I would really like to thank you! Is there anything I can do to thank you (like donate $20 to you or something)?

@Jaison33056 Which OTA update caused the boot loop,the KitKat 4.4.2 D85010F or the one for Lollipop? If the one for Lollipop you may have inadvertently found a way to have a custom recovery installed with stock Lollipop firmware! Sorry if this is already general knowledge. Just got my D850 LG G3 and trying to learn all there is to have it running a custom recovery with a rooted stock Lollipop ROM ).

The OTA bootloop was caused by the 5.0 Lollipop update. After using the fix from citizen insane it was clear that I was still on 4.4.2 KitKat. The phone quickly attempted to force me to update to lollipop again, so again I was forced to use citizen insane fix again, with the addition of shutting off OTA updates after the fix was completed through the hidden menus in the phone app. Then I quickly flashed Cyanogenmod 12 nightlies to avoid the dreaded OTA update yet again! What a pain in the ass, but on the bright side I absolutely love CM 12! My phone has never performed better. Thanks for everyone's help on XDA!
Hey Jaison does your picture messaging work after flashing CM12? Mine stopped working but texting and phone calls still work.

Same problem, as far as i know, i went to see the geeks and at the end, after several forwards, the last one told me to send the phone on guarantee back to google.
In his own words, that happen to the nexus 5, after flash it, doesn't reconize the usb/sd anymore, so the flash process can't be done, i will try to attach a OTG usb, and see whats happend.

Are either of you able to get into the bootloader on your device and access fastboot mode? If you can still access fastboot mode then you can flash the latest Nexus 5 Factory Image (Which will restore your device to factory out-of-the-box condition) to restore your device. Let me know if you still have any questions about the process or otherwise I'll be happy to help.
try reinstalling the cwm/twpm. wipe the device completely. and put new rom
So I've had my nexus 5 for the past couple months and was recently prompted to download the latest update, 4.4.3. The thing is, when the update is finished downloading and I'm told to reboot my phone to install it, I get an error message- the green android dude is on its back with a red exclamation point above it. I've reset my phone and attempted to reinstall the update, but no luck. Anyone else have this problem? How do I get around it and download the update?

I had the same problem but i was rooted so i thought that rooting messed something up,so i unlocked the bootloader and installed manually.But if you're running full stock then i don't know what causes the problem.
PS:I'm sorry if my english is not perfect,i hope you understand what i'm trying to say.
If you're rooted with a custom recovery, the OTA will not work.

Guess I should've mentioned I rooted my device right out the box- I had a feeling that had something to do with it, which is why I reset my phone.I'll give your suggestion a shot.

Hey everyone, I figured this was the right section to post a question, sorry if I was mistaken.
So I recently rooted my phone and tried to install a custom ROM on it, turns out the ROM I selected was probably for the wrong model or something because my screen was just black. So I booted into recovery to try and restore it on the ROM I backed up and it was gone so now I'm kinda ****ed on a phone for now, before I look into buying a new one I wanna see if there's any way I can resolve this and unbrick it.
When I turn the phone on it just loops the booting screen and when I boot into recovery it just has the droid dude with an exclamation mark on it then turns off and does the boot loop.
I was wondering if maybe there's a file I can put on an external drive and it will automatically restore back to stock like on other devices.
I've done a lot stuff like this to my PS3 just never tried it for my phone so I'm just hoping there's a method out there for me, please provide any feedback or questions about it, I'm just trying to get this resolved and I have no time really to research it because of work and a newborn baby plus you guys would know more about it than me so yeah. Thanks!

am trying this method but when put in the last code its taken a while to do anything,so am wondering is it normal for it to take that long or am i doing something wrong?
When using one click ver 1.3 when it reaches 90% in download mode, wait a couple of mins then pull the usb cable out of phone while in download mode. You should reboot into Android upgrading SU !
Which rooting apps are u using?,is it for d800 variant?
yeah the OneClickRoot works. I was on KK 4.4.2, CloudyFlex 2.8 and decided to update to 5.0.2 just for the bootloader, modem and other stuff. So, I started backing up my "SD Card" to my laptop, using the TOT file method to flash via LG Flashtool to 20c, then rooting with TowelRoot, updating to 20y and finally, upgrading to 30f. But, just for testing, I factory reset my unit.
Then the quest to find a suitable root method began, tried towel, io and stomp but didn't work for me. Then I found this "OneClickRoot" that looked good. I d/l'ed v1.3 but it took forever in Download mode. Then, i decide to try v1.2 (Console version) and it worked PERFECTLY, highly recommended.
I just got this device (D800) with the intention of rooting and installing CM12. It came with the latest version of KK which I knew I had to downgrade to a version of JB with an unlocked boatloader. But my phone upgraded to Lollipop on its own before I had the chance to do anything. I assume the boatloader is still locked with the latest Lollipop firmware. It's nice there is a way to root Lollipop but will I be able to run CM12 and custom kernels somehow?
this is awesome, THANKS!
No go for me..

I'm guessing that you re referring rooting, right? In the console version, it says that you have to unplug the phone, turn it off and plug it again pressing Vol+ (Vol Up) to enter download mode.
After that, it will continue and eventually you'll get to something that says Special Command ENTER something,, then you have to press Ctrl-C to finish.
Hope this helps

Thanks for posting this guapinoy. I recently got a new AT&T G2 that I OTA updated to Lollipop (using an AT&T sim). I followed the picture tutorial linked to that youtube video (http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-lg-g-flex-2-g2-g3-on-lollipop/) and was able to root successfully. Installed TWRP afterwards using the autorec app.
I'm having problems with that recovery that this thing installed, it doesn't work for flashing, just for backups... Tried to install other recovery (philz and the official twrp) or rom (liquidsmooth) and i always get the message "error executing updater binary in zip "zip name" "....
Also installed the kitkat baseband, but the error was still there...
I got a boot loop now, at first the ROM worked without recovery, now the recovery works but the ROM won't boot. I can't flash anything due to the same erro .
Help!!!

First make sure your rooted with twrp.Basically what I did was flashed a already stock rooted AT&T rom in twrp which I knew would brick it.That will turn it back to the correct stock ROM which in this case D800 even though the device is brick.Next get out of recovery and get the device in download mode.Then I flashed stock AT&T Kit Kat rom using tot method and the no check DLL file.May work with AT&T DLL.Didn't test.Flash it,should be successful.I will assume this method will work for others on different devices if flashed wrong rom,didn't make a backup,or however they ended up changing the device because of flashing wrong ROM.
