Okay, fairly experienced android user here and i generally figure issues like these out fairly quickly before but anyway Decided to run some test on my sprint LG G3, went to the hidden menu ran the test fine in manual mode but decided to try the device test and that is where **** hits the fan. it said the device will need to restart and it did and it boots into the minios screen with the arrows jumping upwards then blank. touched the screen and a circle with a plus sign in it shows up and the colors change depending on how may fingers am using but now i can't get out of it, removed the battery and insert same thing. I really don't want to do a factory data wipe. saw a thread on here from somebody that had the same issue with the verizon LG G3 and he was able to fix it by just holding down the power and selecting normal boot. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me, am on sprint LG G3, nothing shows up with just holding down the power button. I tried restarting and keep the power button held down and still nothing it boots straight into the minios animation and then blank screen. If anybody have something i can try besides full data wipe i would really appreciate it. Again am not some noob that decided to play doctor with the hidden settings without knowing what i was getting into, funny thing is i ran these test before and it worked out fine not sure what is different this time but then again its android anything can happen. Also i have encryption turned on am not sure if that is a factor. Side info, am stock kit kat, non rooted and all.

If you're not getting the "Touch screen here" or something like that then you're probably gonna need Flashtool. Follow this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54912191&postcount=1

Usually, in Mini OS, if you're not getting the "BIG RED 2", Hold down the power button along with touching the screen. So you do them at the same time.

Other than that, Flashtool is the only way I can think of. :eek:
