LG G3 bootloop

So, I wanted to add the camera mod which adds 60fps 1080p recording and higher bitrate 4k, the process consisting of simply replacing 1 xml file(media_profiles.xml in /system/etc), and now my device is in a bootloop.I tried Reset to factory but it didn't help.Download and recovery are working.

Currently downloading the stock ROM and waiting to flash it.

 

Any other ideas about what I should do?What could have caused the bootloop?

 

Exact model is LGD855 16GB, running Lollipop(5.0).

i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz (Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo); ASrock Z87 EXTREME4; 8GB Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 RAM @ 2133MHz; Asus DirectCU GTX 560; Super Flower Golden King 550 Platinum PSU;1TB Seagate Barracuda;Corsair 200r case.

it's trying to load the system file and it can't.

the .xml is unrecognizable or not useable.

it's probably trying to initialize the camera and can't, therefore detecting hardware issue and rebooting to resolve. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Also, forgot to mention, it's not exactly a boot loop, as in it boots, something fails, then retries to boot again and again.It's just stuck at the LG logo and nothing happens. I kept it for 5 minutes and nothing happened.
