Last night I plugged it in to charge and this morning it was stuck at Google logo. I tried factory reset but it failed (see attachment). I tried to flash it with Google factory image but I am unable to unlock the bootloader (too many links error). The warranty run out in 08/2014. Any ideas?
Thanks.

You running stock or did you root and install a custom recovery?

It's all stock. Never messed with it. It just stopped working.
Can you do a reset? I am grasping for straws but guess it can't make it worse.

Hey, i flashed CM11 about half a year ago. The last Saturday (20/12), it started to go in an infinite loop. First it could boot in apps, but then it crashes all the time. So What I 've tried:
Reset factory data/davlik/cache
Flashing another rom via Recovery
Bring back to stock via bootloader (cmd+fastboot)
Downloading mode (ODIN)
OmapFlash
Nothing made even a little change to my phone. It boots in the same OS, and it crashes all the time. It's like its in a readonly mode. It's like it has the program for PC Deep Freeze, that restores your phone to its first condition in every simple reboot. Can you help me plz?

Forget about #1 and #2 in your list.
In #3, what happens when you try to flash the images?

Nothing, still the same CyanogenMod OS. Even if I run oem lock, after rebooting to bootloader it will shown as unlocked again.

If the images appear to flash properly in fastboot, but you are still on the same ROM, then I would suspect your NAND is toast.

What is NAND. Is NAND phone's internal memory? And what can I do now? Is it a solution or is it a hardware issue? Thank you for your help btw

Yes, it's your devices internal flash memory. It looks like there is something wrong with it. (Others have had similar issues in the past.) So, yes, it looks like it's a hardware issue and there's nothing you can do yourself to fix it.

Ok mate. thank you so much. have a nice happy new year for you and your beloved ones. Plz reply me to my pm.
I updated my Google Play Services (via APK Mirror) after reading this post on fixing a drain issue. I updated from 9.6.83 to 9.8.77. I downloaded 9.8.77 (440-135396225).
My phone froze and tried to re-start, but now all I ever see is the white Google logo, it hangs there for a bit, and then re-boots three times, never getting to the boot animation.
I seem to be able to get into Fastboot mode and then into recovery. I've tried to "Apply update from ADB" and side-load the 9.6.83 APK, but get a "footer is wrong" error with the install aborted.
Do I have any options?
I think it's common LG bootloop issue, you need to go for a replacement. Have you tried flashing factory image?

Couldn't unlock the bootloader--kept getting "Failed".
Phone kept boot-looping and then eventually died (even though it was plugged in) and fried itself: won't even turn on any more. Contacted Google and got it RMA'd.
Oh that's painful death, what model you have? And build date?
I have h791 ,the same is happening to me. 15.12 21015.

If there's a way for you to get into recovery, I'd recommend you do a factory wipe reset. This problems seems to fry the phone so that might be your last shot before it's fried.
I was using my phone like I usually do, and then it suddenly froze. So I held down the power button, forcing it to restart. Ever since, the screen only shows "Google" for a while, then becomes blank; no booting animation. It would restart itself occasionally.
I tried booting into recovery mode by holding Power+VolDown, and selecting "recovery mode". For the first few tries, it would go back to the Google screen, the turn blank. After giving it a break and trying again, I finally got to the "no command" screen, and I wiped the cache partition. Sadly, I'm still having the same problem.
Is this a bootloop? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This happened to me and Google sent a replacement phone. However the replacement phone is a refurbished phone that suffers from ghost touches Now trying to get a replacement for the replacement.

In pretty positive that it will, make sure u unlock the Bootloader first before you do anything. Do you know how to unlock it?

The bootloader allows the phone to be unlocked to flash custom ROMs on it, without it unlocked you'll brick your phone. Read up about rooting your phone first so you can get the idea of what goes into it before attempting it. Once you get the general idea of unlocking the phone and flashing things on it, it becomes relatively easy. There's even a nexus root toolkit on this forum that you can download on your computer for free as well as "how-to's" for doing it

Wait...what?? So if I choose to factory reset my phone now without unlocking the bootloader, it might become completely useless? Is rooting necessary?

No is not necessary, but in order to re flash the factory image to fix the problem the bootloader must be unlocked. You never have to root your device but having a unlocked bootloader is essential to flashing anything on your device other wise like I said, you'll brick your phone. You can even lock it back to full stock once you've re flashed the image.
Edit: there's another way of flashing the factory image but it requires some searching. You might not be able to do it the way I'm explaining to you Because you would have to give it permission to be unlocked in the developers option while the phone is booted up and operative

When u first bought your phone and it takes you through the set up window, when it asked you to put in your email, that right there backs up all your apps that you previously had in the phone so when you go through the setup again, it's going to ask you if you want to start as a new phone or recover your previous apps. You won't be able to recover all of your data but you should be able to recover all of your apps.

Sorry bro but I wish there was.... There actually is away, but you would have have to have been rooted with a custom recovery on your phone and since you had neither, there's my other way

I'm making some progress now. I allowed the battery to die and then when u plugged in the charger it went into emergency recovery mode. So I tried download & recovery. It didn't work. The download keeps failing.
So I've reverted to DC Phoenix again.
Working my way through that now so hopefully I will have some good news later

Use another version of the tool. Some tools don't work properly. I unlocked my phone in a matter 5 mins
