HELP - phone constantly gives camera errors, unable to make phone calls, - T-Mobile LG G4

Hi guys,
few days ago I bought a used T-Mobile LG G4, It was running the O sofware so I upgrade to N and then to P(rooted thru TWRP). Phone was working great for 3 days(including camera and calls), when all of a sudden it started to give me errors regarding the camera, even when I was not even trying to use the camera. "Unfortunately the camera has stopped working" . I tried to do a factory reset first, which did not solve the issue, the camera error already showed up when the phone came back on in the LG setup.
It also does not allow me to make phone calls, it hangs when I try to press the green call button, and after 5 minutes the phone I was trying to call started to ring, but my LG G4 was still frozen. I also noticed the the boot up time is very slow all of a sudden, stuck on the LG G4 screen for a long time.
Also took the phone apart and re-seated the mainboard connector and camera connector. And tried a different battery and removing the SD-card.
I have tried to do a full wipe (including data, dalvik, cache, and internal) and then reflashed the "LG-G4-H811-20p-stock-rooted" software. Still the same issues. The phone is pretty much useless.
Any help would be gladly appreciated, as I really cant afford another phone at the moment.

thanks for your reply, I never used LGUP, only rooted/unlock bootloader thru terminal. Then, copied roms onto SD-card and flash with TWRP.
I dont know what LGUP is or what the difference is between that and doing it thru TWRP. This is my first LG, before this only had Samsung's

And the phone was working fine for 3 days after I updated it.

Stock official lg formware is KDZ so i suggest to download 20p .kdz along with LGUP program to flash stock formware when using the refurbished option it wipes all partitions. Making it a clean install. I think thays the problem when updating thru twrp from20i to 20o it gave camera amd sound bugs..
Seaech for both20p kdz and LGUP.

You have to factory reset it, use R&D Test tool. And please, anyone having issues regarding anything, CM7, V20a, flashing, etc. post on dedicated threads instead making one. 'Cause this was solved earlier on those threads. Unless a new issue arises...

Yes, I did try this method but doesnt help at all.
after 100%, it has a reboot, showing LG logo; then reboot, showing LG logo once again.
then, since the third reboot, however, it turns to a black screen and flashing light of the 4 buttons; and have this loop forever and no LG logo again.
sorry for my poor english.

Try this one. It was also posted there. If you managed to unbrick it by his method, reflash again then with your V10b HK. Don't forget CS_EMERGENCY mode. or with CS_EMERGENCY, Try direct V10b flash. Trial and error.

[Q] Optimus black stuck on firmware update screen

The story so far...
Bought a new Optimus Black and gave it to my girlfriend for her birthday a couple of days ago. After playing with it for about an hour she put it down, I picked it up and decided to have a tinker. I installed Cyanogen mod 3.5.1 after rooting it with Gingerbreak. So far so good but I didn't really like the look of the ROM and the absence of a Market seemed like hassle so I used ClockworkMod to restore the backed up stock ROM.
It's still working fine but now I see there is an official update from inside the phone. I presume it's the upgrade to Android 2.3 so run it and reboot the phone. That's when it all goes wrong. I'm now stuck in the CWM recovery screen. I try all the options, following any online guides I can find that were supposed to have worked for people. I try restoring the backup, restoring cyanogen, clearing the cache, dalvik, everything but nothing happens and I keep booting back into the CWM recovery screen.
Next day I try the LGUnitedMobileDriver and the phone recovery option but despite trying several times I can get no further. A friend tried to use Odin to restore it but got no success. Finally, we tried restoring with a KDZ file with
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN, Windows Enabler and LG B2CTool and now the phone got stuck in yet another loop - a black screen with 'updating firmware'. The LEDs flash for a minute and it reboots and does the same again.
What's more, the phone will now no longer charge or turn on without being connected to the mains.
What are my options here?
Follow the tutorial given below.

Thanks, but I've already tried that and it doesn't work. I'm forever stuck in the firmware update screen.

have you tried the CS_EMERGENCY option in R&D TOOLS? Wait I'll find the link..

The CS_EMERGENCY is the only thing worked, he used a german V10A ROM. If you managed to unbrick it, you can flash it again with your desired KDZ, or use CS_EMERGENCY and flash directly your desired KDZ. TRIAL AND ERROR.
Emergency c-section... nope, I will try that now!
Said that it will get stuck at 4% but it is still flashing. Just wait for the phone to reboot by itself.
It just crashes with a fatal error as soon as it gets to the second tab (downloading) on both PCs I tried it on. I tried several KDZ files with the same result.
Does anyone know if it's possible to physically change the ROM on this phone and if it would be worth trying that before binning the thing?

Does it have warranty? Why not RMA it, I think it has a hardware problem now since you mentioned it doesn't charge anymore. Also, have you tried a different USB cable?
The warranty gets voided as soon as you root or mod a phone and it's probably as expensive to get it fixed outside of warranty as to buy a new one.

Most of the time they change the board right away if it can't boot (as many as I've read) board was changed and none just revived the OS. So they won't know you rooted it. Just specify that they should contact you first before making any changes.

true.. you can just tell them that you received an update and upon getting it the phone wont boot anymore.. just dont tell them that you rooted it or tinkered it in any way.. i'm sure you'll be able to get your warranty that way..

I admire your patience, but are you interested in the end result, or in the process itself? Why not just try SmartFlash method, if you can't get this one to work? Extract BIN and FLS files from the KDZ, and flash them. For me, it works perfectly every time.

These errors are not unusual, an the workarounds have already been posted... Two things you can try, both should work:
1. Flash one file at a time, e.g. FLS (baseband) first, and then the BIN (ROM itself).
2. Swap the files. Meaning, choose AP instead of CP, and vice versa. This way you can flash them both at once.
Cheers thanks a million, took 1 at a time and that worked. Android v. 4.04:good::good::good:
Did you try another cable?
Seems impedance problem as you already mention some progress after change the usb port.
Also try Nflash TG ICS28G it is a good idea, you can flash [ROM] TG P990 ICS V30A - Stable - Rom and Advanced Kernelfrom CWM after all.

Didn´t have 1 that fit, so change 4 times USB port and when i got the first to go to 100% it then worked doing it in 2 steps.
It started fine, but didn´t see my wifi, anyway it looks a bit different from the old GB.
I see, im on TG V30a and very happy AWESOME rom pretty smoth and good battery life.

[Q] 6 Hours later = Brick... Official LG ICS [SOLVED]

Hey everyone.
I have the LG Thrill (P925) from AT&T. I'm used to changing roms and trying new things.
Well today I get a text from AT&T saying ICS is out, so I go and download the LG Mobile Support Tool
like the text says. The first few times don't work. I got stuck at the LG boot logo. (I didn't wipe the phone before.)
So I wait an hour to 1.5 hours. Still nothing. I try again and search the forums while I wait. Someone says to try using XP.
So I try in XP mode under Win 7. Everything is going well up until 90%. It does the whole driver disconnected sound as per normal
but then it happens. My phone starts up and shows the LG logo for 3/4ths of a second and then restarts (Black screen for 2 seconds) and
then repeats the whole process over again. What can I do?
(EDIT: Almost forgot: I was on CM7 when I tried to go to Official ICS)
All from the official LG tool...
SOLVED
After trying a few things I held the Volume up button and the power button to get it recognized by the computer. Then
I found a different copy of the LG Mobile support tool than what was on their site. I used the recovery phone option and it worked!
Hopefully this will help someone. I'll post where I got the tool soon.
Could you please give a link or tell me where you got the other lg mobile support tool. Because everything was going good for me and my phone restarted after it was done updating. But when it restarted it got hung up at the att animation and it just stays there... The way I got the official lg mobile support tool to recognize my phone was to put it into download mode also.
I got the KDZ_Flashing_Software.zip from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191698
Install the msxml from the zip then you can use the B2CAppSetup program.
Hope it helps.

I know it's something I did, probably the custom image I had running, but the LG Support Tool totally borked my phone. My Thrill would only stay on for a split second, and would continuously boot cycle when plugged into USB. The boot cycle was so fast that half the time it wouldn't even get to the LG logo!
Fixed it with fastboot (omap4boot) and SmartFlash Tool. What a nightmare. Only good thing is I was able to flash from BIN file directly to ICS.

Thanks for your help too. Obviously these issues stem from the fact that we used custom roms on the Thrill. It doesn't help that the LG Tools are complete software crap.

Unique Soft Brick??? Any ideas?

I purchased the H811 off ebay last week because I am finally sick of my old Note 5 with no service at home. The G4 did great until I decided to flash it. The phone was on H81120i.
No big deal unlocking bootloader or installing TWRP. I flashed Lineage OS 14.1. About a minute after booting up, the phone got the error Camera stopped working. After checking more stuff on the device, nothing seems to work - i.e. - The accelerometer, speakers, microphone, flashlight, etc are dead. I installed a sensor test app and it doesn't detect any of the sensors.
After that, I downloaded LGUP and the stock KDZ file to flash back to phone hoping to fix it. Unfortunately, LGUP doesn't recognize the phone. It says unknown model but shows the com port, h81120i on the right hand side. I also tried LG FlashTool to see if that would work but it crashes about 26% into the it.
I have searched the forums up and down and have googled the crap out of this. I did find a thread from last month with a very similar issue a moment ago, https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/help/camera-stopped-audio-flashing-lg-g4-t3620516, and perhaps I should post in that thread, but my issue is that LG Bridge gives me an error stating it can't detect the software version.
If I were using Samsung, I don't think I would have this problem because I have unbricked several Samsung devices. The issue here is I am new to LG and have no idea if files are corrupt, if hardware was screwed, or what the situation is. I would hate to think that it was a $100 wasted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased the H811 off ebay last week because I am finally sick of my old Note 5 with no service at home. The G4 did great until I decided to flash it. The phone was on H81120i.
No big deal unlocking bootloader or installing TWRP. I flashed Lineage OS 14.1. About a minute after booting up, the phone got the error Camera stopped working. After checking more stuff on the device, nothing seems to work - i.e. - The accelerometer, speakers, microphone, flashlight, etc are dead. I installed a sensor test app and it doesn't detect any of the sensors.
After that, I downloaded LGUP and the stock KDZ file to flash back to phone hoping to fix it. Unfortunately, LGUP doesn't recognize the phone. It says unknown model but shows the com port, h81120i on the right hand side. I also tried LG FlashTool to see if that would work but it crashes about 26% into the it.

maybe you got a frankenphone .. a supposely H811 and its not .. why not open it and see the actual motherboard and see wich variant you really have .seems like its not a h811 or try uppercut LGUP. see what it finds and downloads.

Uppercut found nothing... I opened the phone and found this though... EAX6658501_H810_MAIN_1.0
Of course, the tag on the inside of battery compartment says H811 with a date of 02/2016. Would it be a refurb or what? Anyway, I may be on the right track now.

maybe yes .. cover h811 and so software easy to edit.. but the only way is that take the motherboard and read the variant.
h810 is att?
I checked out the AT&T forum and found nothing other than stock that, obvious under my current situation, I can't flash because lgup with uppercut nor lg flash tools can flash.
LGUP gives an error code in the log file. PACKET_ERROR code = 1460
The phone internet still works. It has downloaded an update from t-mobile that's 460+MB that I can't install because I'm rooted with TWRP. Is it possible to update the phone with adb and TWRP? If I could find stock recovery, I would flash that and using autoprime's bootloader flash it back, even remove root if the update may revive the device.
After a week, a thought occurred to me and i tried it. I backed up a working h811 ( minus efs partition) with twrp with 20o firmware to an sd card then restored that version to this phone. I immediately wiped and flashed G4 20o with root zip file. It unbricked the phone and I'm currently using it.
Thanks raptorddd for replying and helping me. It seems that somewhere in the flash process something was corrupted and this fixed it.

youre welcomed but then phone is H811? or H810 i know that what ever the motherboard says thats your variant. am glad you have back up and running. :good:
It is crazy because the board said 810 but it had h81120i official when i got it. It worked but i have always used custom roms. Oh well, I'm going to stay stock with root. Just need to debloat now.
