Hi.
This phone was working perfectly and I left it to go away to another country so it must have discharged it's battery.
When I got back it would not turn on. Even after charging for a day, it will not turn on.
When I have the charging cable connected, it goes to Google Logo Screen and it loops (restarts over and over again)
There is no error message.
Picture is attached so please let me know what to do. It was a gift so no receipt to claim warranty.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Try booting into stock recovery and clearing cache, reboot.
If that doesn't work then you'll have to unlock the bootloader (which wipes data) and try flashing the factory images. A guide for that can be found in the first link of my signature.

Thanks.

I just tested and I am not able to get into recovery more...I am not sure what that mean. Should I connect Nexus to computer and see if it's recognized by computer and try to reload stock ROM?
Phone was never unlocked or flashed...it was in the same state as it was bought.
Can this be hardware problem? I saw some reports of similar thing happening with power button problem or other hardware problems.

did you go into the bootloader, choose recovery, and it went to an android laying on its back?
This is the weirdest things...Spent days and days trying to bring it back to life and it would just reboot after GOOGLE logo. There was no way to get into recovery more.
I was looking around and someone said that tapping hard behind the power button with finger might bring it back and it did...so crazy. No matter what, I am a happy camper.
If you have tried everything, just try it...it behind power button and it might wake up the android that's been sleeping.

Can u explain how did u do that .what do u mean by behind the power button
I have the option to buy this device from a guy who has this problem and i have said to him to try the tips but not working. Computer does not see the device yet and thats logic since it just goes for 2-3 sec in bootloader he told me. Is this the power buttion failure or can it be fixed with nexus toolkit?
Price is €50 because of that and little damaged glass but i doubt if i can let it boot normal again.
I tried to install the new OTA, and it failed. I don't know exactly why, but it did. Now my phone won't boot. Next thing I know, it's completely out of battery, and won't charge up at all, it just loops around a blank screen and the screen that tells you that the phone is charging before it'll power on. This message disappears after three seconds, leaving the blank screen. If I unplug the charger, I can't power on, enter recovery or fastboot, nothing. Is there any way I could force it into fastboot?
I do know a little about using adb stuff in cmd, so that won't phase me, I'm just worried about my phone. Can anyone help?
Just leave the phone on charge for a few hours, don't touch it in that time, and then try turning it on again.

Hi guys. I have an unlocked AT&T LG G3 D850 and I cannot for the life of me figure out why it's stuck in a bootloop. I've tried just about everything but nothing works. I'm able to access both recovery and download mode, but every time I exit it, I just get thrown into another bootloop. Strangely, I didn't do anything to the phone recently, and it was working absolutely fine minutes before I noticed the bootloop.
First thing I tried was wiping everything and reinstalling the ROM. I am rooted and was running a Marshmallow distro of Resurrection Remix, with TWRP 3.0 (I think) running my recovery. I booted into TWRP and cleared everything, reinstalling the ROM. Didn't work. Okay, so maybe the ROM is to blame. Tried some different versions, still nothing.
I then tried flashing stock firmware using download mode, and kept getting errors at the beginning of the LG flash tool utility. After switching USB ports, it started working. However, after about 30 minutes, it would fail, and I would get a message saying it couldn't communicate with the device. I tried this multiple times to no avail.
Eventually, I ended up running the program one last time and left it for a couple hours. When I got back to check it, I was super relieved because the phone had apparently successfully been flashed back to stock firmware. Keep in mind this process usually only takes 4-8 minutes, whereas my phone took hours to get it done.
Finally, I booted the device, full of hope. NOPE. Bootloop again. I tried resetting it using the volume down combo, but it stays in a bootloop every time.
I am running out of options and getting desperate, and I really don't wanna fork out the cash for another phone if I don't have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

When flashing an AT&T choosing that will make the phone boot into mini OS then you'll select reset/restart and it should boot unless there's an hardware issue

It says download failed at 517 seconds. "We can't communicate with phone." Meanwhile, the phone is back at 0%. Should I leave it for a couple hours like I did the one time it actually worked?

Did you freshly put the phone into download mode? And using a usb 2.0 port right?

Yes. However, I'm not sure if I was able to manually boot into download mode or the phone automatically did it. I did pull the battery before connecting the phone, and I did hold volume up. I just don't know if I physically put it into download mode myself.
New issue. Got to about 89% when I get an "fboot fail" error message. My phone is bootlooping again.

Were you able to solve the issue and progress any further???
Recently my screen's digitizer broke, so I ordered a new screen and just got it today.
I replaced it and I tested it, it turned on and that, but when I try to boot it just come with the onplus logo and powered by android stuff in the bottom and that's the only thing it's showing with it just turns off and on basically rebooting
So I tested, can it go into fastboot it could so I tried flashing twrp on but didn't work keeps doing the same cannot even enter recovery just fastboot.
Anyone tried this before or, what can I do to fix it if there is a possible fix for it.
Have you tried flashing official images from fastboot? hopefully not a hardware issues
I'm having the same problem, also since today. My phone just got in a bootloop while powered on and running completely fine. Trying to boot into recovery also gets me a bootloop. Fastboot works, and when i try to flash anything it tells me it succeeds. Then when i try to power on again, still the same bootloop.
I've tried the Oneplus Recovery Tool, same thing. Everything succeeds, but I still end up with a bootloop. The logo on the fastboot page had changed, though, so I'm guessing the flash was successful, but something else is broken.
I'm actually really worried about my phone right now.

Yep, that's the one. Everything seems to work fine, all the bars are loading, and the device turns green. Unplugged the device, booted up, still a bootloop.
I tried the ColorOS guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732) too, same thing. The boot logo did turn red though.

Damn. Well, too bad. I'm going to try to fix my phone for a bit more, not that I think it's still fixable. Thanks!
I also think it is a hardware issue but I don't want it to be :/
It's just funny but I think I found it, its the power button because apparently the button itself got off the wire so maybe I can sort it on again.
Or maybe it could be something else but cannot seem to find it.
I maybe u try to get my friend to sort a new storage chip on if I can get I contact with him wish me luck

Just get your device checked from a local source and then replace the decayed part yourself.
AFAIK,it can be either battery or Motherboard/Logic board.

I am encountering the same problem. Out of nowhere my phone started rebooting. It reboots ok and after a minute it does it again...so it is working alright for a minute. However, my phone is completely stock Cyanogen OS...
I have tried this, but it did not work for me.

If it does work alright for a minute every time, I don't think you have the same problem as I have.
Hello guys,
I apologize if this has been solved before but I wasn't able to find anything on it.
I have a oneplus one phone which I had running Ressurection Rom (I don't have the details as my father was using it for the last 2 years).
He dropped the phone and gave it to a shop for repairing of the screen. They repaired the screen but now they have somehow messed with the software where I am UNABLE TO BOOT TO FASTBOOT OR TRWP. The function of holding POWER + VOLUME DOWN or POWER + VOLUME UP doesn't work. When I attempt those two options, it still continues to boot as it normally would and then start optimizing apps. Does that for about 45 minutes and then just restarts and repeats the process.
I haven't messed around with android stuff for about a year now, so simplified instructions (rather step by step) would be extremely helpful.
Thank you so much for taking the time.

Hello, Thank you for your response.
I have tried the instructions that you provided and I am stuck in a place where the "Samsung" drivers for OPO are installed but the phone isn't detected by the computer when its plugged in. I assume that means the drivers aren't installed correctly. However, when I do open device manager and attempt to update or uninstall the drivers there isn't a device there that is representative of OPO.
How do I get to the point where the drivers can be installed without me having access to the phone. I can't really go into a bricked phone and turn on ADB etc.'
Thank you

Use Xp or win7(must).
Okay so I have attempted this a tiring number of times; initially the phone at least was going on to loading apps, now it just flashes on the Resurrection load screen and doesn't change at all. Also when I try to boot into recovery/fastboot, nothing happens.
I have also tried installing different drivers from like a samsung phone, nexus but to no avail.
Is there anyone who can perhaps TEAMVIEW me and help out or live chat?

I don't think so. If it is a battery issue he could go to fastboot since fastboot only uses a small amount of charge.

Most probably your volume buttons were messed up during the repair. That's the only reason I can think of. There are some videos on YouTube about fixing the volume buttons.
