I have an LG G6, international version (H870DS) that has been having bootloop issues for a while now. For the first few months it would come and go -- sometimes it would be a week between issues, sometimes just a few minutes. I tried many things, multiple factory resets, removed the SD card, deleted possible troubles apps, basically anything I could find online to try. But, for a while the phone would work pretty much normally until it decided to restart and loop.
But... about two weeks ago the phone got into its bootloop and never came out -- I can't get past the LG logo screen anymore. If I let the phone go for a while eventually it gets to a green screen talking about a RAM dump. One time I managed to get it to a screen talking about unlocking the bootloader but that part got a bit over my head. Basically, I can let the batter die but as soon as I plug it in, the phone starts lopping again for 15 minutes or so, eventually ending at that green screen.
Over the last few days I have tried downloading a stock KDZ file to try to flash stock ROM back onto the phone. The problem is, I can't get the phone to communicate with my computer no matter what I do. I've downloaded LGUP, installed all the drivers, tried the LG Flash Tool and pretty much anything else I could find -- but I just can't get anything to recognize the phone, even when I get it into download mode. I know the problem isn't with drivers because when I try my wife's identical G6 on my computer it gets recognized right away.
I should mention that I never tried to tweak anything with the phone -- the issue has been occurring since it was basically brand new. I am by no means an idiot when it comes to tech but also far from an expert, but I have done my research and tried everything I could.
So -- basically I am out of options and appealing to anyone who can help. I currently live in Africa and have no access to LG service centers. I have spent upwards of 10 hours trying to figure this out now and I just don't know what else to try. Any tips or advice would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you!
