[Q] LG G3 stuck in boot loop, please help!

I bought an LG G3 a few days ago, and I rooted it with no problems whatsoever. However, a few hours ago I followed a tutorial to increase the max volume which involved editing the mixer_paths_qcwcn.xml or the mixer_paths.xml file (depending on the model), but what that tutorial failed to mention was that I needed to change 644 permissions. So now I have a boot loop (stuck on the LG boot up screen), I've tried holding the volume down and power key down but no luck, help me with what to do please!

Okay, turn off the phone. Then hold the volume up button whilst plugging in the USB cable to enter download mode.

Thanks for the reply, excuse my apparent lack of knowledge, but I don't know where to get the stock ROM from, and neither do I know how to flash it onto the phone. It's a D855 model by the way

Hi, sorry about that but at least were still making progress. Also which part is the error on exactly?
Also try a different USB Port (I know it sounds stupid but you'd be surprised at issues I've had)

Okay, let me have a look

AT&T H810 software H81010g

I have seen root is now available for that H810. My software version is H81010g. Is root possible with my phone yet?

Yea check the root thread in the general lg g4 thread.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app

I need help! LGG4
I have Software Version. H81010I
I was unaware if a root exploit to unlock bootloader and also to root my phone
was available for my phone yet. I also would prefer a different flashing utility than TWRP.
I dont like it when I used it with my Optimus G.
Thanks in advance.

Right now there is no TWRP for the AT&T variant. Also can you pull your system.img of your stock 10I software? To do that do this:
1. Download these drivers
2. Download the root tools (make sure you mouse over the download button and the bottom of your browser says LG_Root.zip)
3. On this page follow steps 1,2,3,6,7,8,and 9 ONLY also make sure you run the ports.bat and are using the port that says DIAG
4. Then run this command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=579584 of=/data/media/0/system.img
5. When the command prompt returns to # type LEAVE to reboot your phone. Has to be in all caps.
6. On you computer navigate to your phones internal storage and you will see a file called system.img. Upload this to google drive.

Status: Root unsuccessful
I ran the script through cmd. I watched everything happening and I was unable to gain img or root. What do I do next?

If you followed my steps exactly as above then you shouldn't have root. there should be a file in your phones internal memory called system.img
If you don't have this try it again. when you issue the command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=579584 of=/data/media/0/system.img
it should take 2-3 minutes to come back to the # sign. if it is instant then it didn't work. keep retrying until you get the system.img file.
When you get that and upload it I can root it for you then you can flash it to your phone.

Thanks.
It was able to create a system img for me. I can root it if you just let me know the steps. Should I not just follow all of the steps 1-10?

No, that is not how you root it. It needs to be rooted in a linux environment. that's why I asked you to upload, because it isn't a simple process to root.

hey guys, I'm running h*1010g rooted software and I just got a message on my phone saying an update is available anyone have an idea what the update is and if there is a rooted image of it? and if I take the update I would asume I will lose root but is the update itself worth it? the texting bugs and lad on the 1010g are worse than the 1010e. thanks for the response.

hey, just a note to let everyone Know, got home from work plugged my phone is and let it charge to 70% then i was about to run a debloater from my pc but as soon as I plugged in the usb cable the phone said shutting down to install updates! I thought oh hell I'm bricked but the screen came on and said my phone is rooted and unable to install the update. no clue what it was or if it would have been worth it. just thought Id let everyone know.

Hi,

Waiting @tungkick to have a way to always go back, but i'm pretty sure if you flash only recovery TOT for example, you don't have any risk of brick nothing

I have a bricked v20 and I have tried flashing this .tot and the other posted in this forum and I keep getting error messages at 9% on all attempts on two windows machines. Any ideas on what this issue could be? I am using LGUP version 1_14_3. Is this the latest build or the build compatible with the V20? Drivers were latest I could find also using the LG common.dll which I needed for LGUP to recognize the V20. This is my only way out of brick I think. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

mate, as of today, i have read that there is no dll file for the v20. i.e there is no updated dll file to recognise the v20 in lgup.
u might want to wait a bit longer before u can unbrick your phone.

Not good news.. it is just the dll? I mean i knew it had to be a missing piece because it was ready to flash. Every file failed at the same time. If anyone hears anything please post here or PM me just for a heads up. Im sure a few other desperate souls out there are anxiously waiting. Any reason the flash tools are incomplete? It doesnt seem like a big deal. Can someone here in the forum make one? Just couious.. i would gladly donate. Thanks for the info.

I don't think the flash tool is meant to be public, so they are probably leaked files.
I have a soft bricked LG V20 and have tried the LGUP DLL for every LG phone model I could find. The most progress I got was with the LG G5 dll and it only went to 10%.

not really sure as i am new to LG.
been reading up on xda relating to flashing and rooting (i came from samdung phones) this baby. i think being patient here is what you can do at the moment.also, not only the dll file is missing, i read twrp is not saving backup properly due to the new security protocols in place android 7.0.
take heart mate,i know it sucks to have a bricked phone.

all im getting is "Unknown Model"

Managed to soft brick my H918 as well, so if anyone working on this needs a tester, I'd love to get my phone back.

I appreciate it, wish I'd seen that the day before. I tried to go back to stock recovery to see if that would fix my boot loop issue, so, without access to TWRP, I'm hosed until we have a method to reflash recovery from Fastboot or Update modem connection..

I am screwed as well, I messed my phone up too, and when I turn my phone on it automatically goes the to the upgrade mode screen, I want to through away this damn phone, hehehe.

Repair firmwares??

So im wondering if anyone has repair firmwares for the USA SM_G955U. i recently installed a U2QK4 update OTAusing ADB from the ATT section and everything went bad from there. I was told i may not be able to downgrade but thats not the problem. I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH MY PHONE NOW! IT HAS NO RECOVERY AT ALL IT JUST FLICKERS THE BLUE SCREEN WITH THE ANDROID AND A TEXT APPEARS OCCASIONALLY ON THE FLICKERING SCREEN WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF FAILS. THERE IS NO UPLOAD MODE AT ALL. I CAN ONLY ACCESS DOWNLOAD MODE WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO FLASH ANYTHING CAUSE NOTHING WORKS. THE ONLY THING THAT IS FLASHABLE ON NON-MODDED AND MODDED ODIN IS CP! I DONT EXACTLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT HAPPENED. EVERYTHING WAS OPERABLE AND THEN THE PHONE ENCRYPTED ITSELF,REBOOTED ANDA BLUE SCREEN WITH A CARD WAS FLASHING AND ALL WENT TO HELL. TRIED REBOOTING AND THATS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN! I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT ON A PHONE BEFORE!
ITS BEEN DAYS SINCE THIS HAPPENED AND I WAS TOLD THE FIRMWARE WAS BEING UPDATED FROM THE OP AND STILL NOTHING! I DONT THINK PEOPLE SHOULD POST THINGS TO FLASH WITH JUST A WARNING ON HERE, THEY SHOULD TEST IT BEFORE POSTING BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE ME GET CURIOUS AND WANT TO FLASH THINGS,BUT, THE POSTER DOESNT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT DOES!NOT HIS FAULT AS I AM TO BLAME,
ILL SAY IT HERE AGAIN SO PEOPLE DONT THINK IM BLAMING ANYONE,
I I AM TO BLAME!!!!
OKAY, BUT, NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $950 PAPERWEIGHT! AND HONESTLY I WANTED TO BRICK IT, BUT, I THOUGHT WARRANTY OR INSURANCE WOULD COVER IT IN WHICH THEY WONT BECAUSE ATT IS GETTING CRAPPY WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE. IT SEEMS I HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE DARK WITH NO CLUES OR HELP.
SORRY FOR CAPITAL LETTERS FORGOT TO TURN IT OFF AND AM NOT ABOUT TO RE-TYPE.
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO FIX THIS PLEASE HELP.
(AND GETTING A NEW PHONE WONT HELP, SO THAT RESPONSE IS SHOT)
LOOKING FOR A FIX. THANKS IN ADVANCE

U2QK4? I don't think that's a model number for a firmware... We certainly haven't seen a U2 g955/0u firmware yet...
And sammobile has it as u1aqk3 for vzw so tmb should be u1qk4.
Can you double check what you flashed?

I'm pretty sure norbarb, the provider of the U2BQK4 firmware knew that it was for the N950(note 8) and posted it in his adb update thread. I bought a new motherboard and will not ever update from that person again because of what has happened. I am not bashing him I just don't want to go through this mess again. and so far I've gotten a bootloader's to flash by using the.elf files from a u2b file from the note 8. Still no recovery and stuck at the bootloader's screen. Can still get into download mode.
The quickest fix I know is for a new motherboard.
Thanks guys

All due respect but aqc9 is ancient and full of bugs that will make your experience with your phone sub par. Just go to updato.com and download the latest version for your carrier and device. By default updato is slow but if you use a download manager it flies. I can get 3MB/s easily

i honestly dont think people read in these forums. But everyone surely knows everything.
I am starting to get annoyed with that. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
1. i have flashed a rom provided by norbarb in the AT&T forums(he took it down) G955USA1US2BQK4,
2. after installing that update, phone went haywire, encrypted and erased everything except download mode,
3. ABSOLUTELY NO RECOVERY AT ALL,
4. nothing will flash over, NOTHING!! phone error: SW REV ablFAILED 1>binary >2 ODIN error. FAIL(AUTH) and FAIL dismatch model in non-modded ODIN and modded odin.
5. i got a bootloader to flash using abl files from a U2b (meaning bootloader 2) from another file U2BQK5 provided from a third party pm.
6. stuck in a bootloop at bootloader screen,
7. STILL NOTHING FLASHES OVER.
8. EDL cable needed per eli, went ahead and ordered another motherboard.
IF ANYONE CARES OR DECIDES TO BADGER ABOUT REPAIR FIRMWARE, PLEASE CHECK OUT GSM FORUMS, THERE ARE OTHER FORUMS WITH USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT REPAIR FIRMWARES.
thank you all for your help. i just went ahead and ordered another motherboard cause i found it easier and less stressful to deal with less people who do not read the OP.

No you're right it is ancient BUT it does have a direct update path straight to last month's security patch. And, maybe most importantly, OP could be using an older ODIN and hasn't tried the new one so I figured an older firmware has best shot at being compatible, he can OTA from there.

No you're right it is ancient BUT it does have a direct update path straight to last month's security patch. And, maybe most importantly, OP could be using an older ODIN and hasn't tried the new one so I figured an older firmware has best shot at being compatible, he can OTA from there.

hey bro, just to clarify with you i have flashed every file that there is from the links provided and from the forums i have about 8 copies of each file haha looks like i wont be running out soon. seems like the reason it crashed is the memory test that the rom i flashed inflated too much. i think it damaged my board which is okay i have another coming.

Say what now? What made you think it was the memory test? What made you think it was the board or an actual hardware issue with the phone? A memory test can't 'inflate' anything much less can it damage your memory or the actual board.
I had a problem with my device from a badly restored backup where my modem would crash the machine to upload mode moments after booting on anything but a stock rom, and even that the radio didn't work and it would rebolt about 30 times to get to a state where it finished booting at all.
Needless to say I fixed it (I'm still here) but I essentially had to implement my own repair procedure and after about 30 hours total of working in it over two days I managed to get it working enough that I could get a rooted os booted and could then do another restore with a good backup.
If you problem sounds similar (iirc it was in the same general area) and it is then I'm afraid you wasted your money, as all you need is a restore of those partitions outside the rom part of your nvram.

I've been messaging with Eli and he said an EDL cable would fix the problem as it needs the deep flash. What would be your suggestion? I have been trying everything and I noticed somewhere saying windows 8 had problems with Odin software so I am currently installing a fresh copy of windows 10. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I thought windoze 10 was the "worst" because of the driver signing gotcha . This was true of me and my alibaba smart watch . For me, I had to resurrect an old h.d. with windoze 7 . . .

Yeah windows 7 is the best but I kinda like the metro theme with 8 and 10, though 8 is bad........

LG H918 Update v10r

New update H91810r
Seems like a security update
kdz:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Gy-lUWvutnA8Rxd3eLMGs1PulxqhyGoO
Donate: paypal.me/HassaanM

It would be nice to have a stock ROM of this like they did on P and Q. With the stock kernel download on the side with KCAL, RCT implemented. ?

But I have this weird feeling we're screwed. There's only a few of us left if you've noticed.

If you mean a flashable zip, I'll be glad to post one.

Yes please I want to keep root

I'm so sick of trying to get my H918 TMobile to root, I'm on H91810q... I might as well just flash this kdz because I can't root, cant unlock bootloader or do anything else to be a android nerd anyways. I should flash this just for the pleasure of a little something to update my precious V20. Thanks for posting link bro

Uh im pretty certain that it's because 10q is NON-rootable. You needed to be rooted before updating to q. I am still on k for instance unsure of when I want to root but will not update to q+ for the root problem.
Oh and don't try to flash/kdz back to some lesser than q ROM, as you will hard brick.

Yea I know bro. I learned the hard way and luckily I didn't successfully revert to an older Rom.... I read a thread here and was like oh chitt I almost wrecked my phone lol. I should prolly wait till maybe q gets rooted but q does not look like its going to get any root at all, by as I read so far, devs are not interested.. So I guess ill go ahead and just flash this kdz

Would you suggest updating? I can't root as it is.

@BROKEN1981 It is still ARB 1 so if by some miracle a kernel exploit is found, you can roll back to 10p if needed.

Hi, there. I just bought a V20 T-Mo for a really good price but the phone issue is that every time I turn it on, it goes straight to the "Firmware Update" screen without pressing any volume keys. It shows in LGUP and all with no problem, the firmware version is LGH918AT-01-V10R-310-260-NOV-17-2017-ARB01+0 as it shows when I try flash other KDZs such as 10R_00 or 10Q. The only way to make it boot normally is to flash the V10i KDZ, it starts to flash and immediately it says "Error Tot Anti rollback version is smaller than device" (Image below), phone reboots and starts normally, but if I turn it off and on again it goes to the "Firmware update" screen again.
Does anybody know how I can fix this and help me here? I've been doing some research but can't get it sorted out. Thanks in advance.

Not the place to ask this. Go to the question section and make a new post after you have used the search button about that issue. Maybe edit this comment and try again.

I'm not bothering to update to 10r i was already there and reflashed back to 10p in hopes of 10p being the first to get root and recovery out of this security mess that LG and T mobile has spread worldwide. Meaning being that the 10p being the 1st stage of security patches they have pushed. Iv'e decided to buy another v20 thats on the old firmware and just do a mobo swap into my mint cond v20 it's the easiest route at this point. I'd think LG was to busy paying off lawsuits and replacing phones to be pushing these exploit crippling updates.

Dear LG V20 H918 users, I am facing ridiculously low battery life on my new device. do you face the same problem? or you solved it somehow? please pardon my off topic post...
