First off, I'd like to start by saying that my phone is NOT ROOTED, and I did nothing to cause this (that I'm aware of).
I was in the middle of using my phone (browsing Facebook) when it restarted on me, so I turned it back on, and after I sat it down, it shut down. So naturally, I plugged it into the charger, thinking it was just low battery, and after some time, I couldn't power it back on without getting stuck on the LG screen. Most of the time, it doesn't even recognize that the charger is even plugged in, but when the battery screen appears, it jumps from 100% to 45%, to 0%, etc.
I've tried different chargers and outlets, I'm not sure if it's an internal problem or the battery, but I don't really want to invest in a new battery until I'm sure that's the problem.
The furthest I've got with this is past the LG logo and to my lock screen, which immediately shuts the phone down when I try to unlock it. I've tried doing a factory reset, which doesn't do anything either.
Please, tell me there's some way I can fix this myself! This phone is less than a year old and was a present from my husband, who will kill me if he finds out about this...
I've made a video of my problem, please excuse the background noise, but if you listen closely, you can hear a strange squeaky sound a couple of times after the screen goes blank. I'm unsure what that's about, but it's just started doing that.
Please help!

It sounds like you have soft bricked your phone. You can try flashing the original stock Rom. Every things that you need are here in the xda forum for download (look at the topic below yours by madmack, "fix the soft bricks, flashing back to the stock LGflashingtool") The flashing instruction should be with the tools.

I run a M.O.A.R. stock 4.2 rom on my Sprint GS3 SPH-L710 (that is out of warranty). Yesterday, I was scrolling through facebook when my phone spontaneously rebooted. It didn't lag, or slow, or start to not respond. I was scrolling through my feed, and suddenly it was going through the boot screens. Except it wasn't just a reboot, it went into a boot loop.
I let it reboot maybe four or five times before pulling the battery. After a few minutes, I started it up again and it was fine. It operated normally for the next couple of hours until I felt it vibrate in my pocket, and when I pulled it out I found it had went into a boot loop again. Once again, I pulled the battery.
But this time, the phone wouldn't power up. I couldn't get it to power up, go into recovery mode, download, anything. Every button combination I tried produced no response. I tried using a different battery, didn't work. I tried charging my phone for a few hours (even though my phone was >75% when this happened) and even the battery indicator screen didn't show when I pressed the home button.
I searched for possible fixes, but I couldn't find any post or thread that was similar enough to the situation I'm in. I'm 99% sure it's not Sudden Death Syndrome, and that's about all I've found.
Anyway, I need help. What can I do (if anything) to make my phone work again?

Sounds like SDS, HERES a solution, or if your comfortable soldering, HERE

It was my understanding about SDS (and please, by all means correct me if I'm wrong) that a) it only affected phones with firmware below 4.1.2 (and that 4.1.2 and 4.2 had a patch to fix SDS) and b) and it only affected international models, i.e. i9300.
So it's the second time my G3 gets stuck and won't come back to life. 6-7 months ago it was stuck onto the firmware update screen (thou I never messed with rooting and stuff) and I had to send it back to LG Italy since it was still under warranty. They just wiped everything off, replaced something and sent it back to me.
Today's problem: Phone was off this morning and when I tried to turn it on it seemed like battery was dead. Charged it and turned it on after a while, got into home screen and a weird message about whatsapp loading issue because my phone time wasn't correct. On top of that the phone was totally frozen and didn't respond to any imput, so I had to remove the battery and put it back in. From now on, the phone is stuck on logo screen. Tried to put it in download mode, I see the firmware update screen but my computer won't recognize my phone via pc suite. Recovery mode won't even start. Tried to turn it off and just plug it into my wall charger: the empty battery icon with the loading symbol pops up and everything seems to be stuck, even if I unplug it the icon would still be there. I tried with two different batteries getting the same result
Totally clueless about what to do now (the phone is still under warranty by the way).
Hi, so a week ago I had this weird problem with my phone. It would just freeze for like 2 minutes, work again for a minute and so on.
Did a hard reset, same problem.
Flashed that 6.0 KDZ, no success. The phone started but I was basically stuck at the lock screen, touchscreen was unresponsive, power menu kept showing up for no reason... couldn't even turn the phone off.
After that, I decided to stop ****ing around with it and send it to a repair store (no warranty). Today, after about 5 days, I picked it up and was told that they tried a ton of ROMs but they have no idea what's wrong with it.
Got home, ran a hard reset again and now I can't even get to the lock screen, phone is basically in a boot loop. LG logo shows up, the "Android is starting... Optimising apps" screen does its thing, restarts and keeps going like this forever.
Is there anything I can do or should I just throw the phone in the garbage and get another one? Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks!
Hi,
Same issue for 2 days...
My G3 was suddently slow and unresponsive so I removed the battery.
I put it back again, as usual, and start the phone. But it get stuck at the LG logo.
Sometimes the animated LG logo shows up, sometimes not.
Sometimes it displays the PIN screen (unresponsive or not), sometimes not.
Sometimes it boots totaly normaly (1% of time) and become unresponsive/buggy after a couple of minutes.
I tried flashing kdz (normal and CSE) 10 times, factory reset, change battery, without success...
Good luck.
So, unluckily today i find myself here lookin' for help with my phone. I had already took a look on other brick threads, but i can't find an appropriate answer to my problem.
I'm (i was) running lineage-14.1-20170602-nightly, i had ne0zone75's TWRP 3.1.0.0-0, and that's how the brick came in a strange way; i was simply on XDA Labs app browsing the forum, when i received a call. I've answered, and when i shut off the call the phone shut off immediately after. I thought it was a reboot, but keeping pressed the power button didn't switched on the phone anymore. So i've tried to remove the battery and re insert it after some minutes, but the only thing i can get is the screen with the samsung logo that goes all black after 5 seconds. I already had other bricks due some errors of mine in the past, but this time it's really difficult.
1: I can't access recovery mode. Ow, how i wish i could.
2: I can access download mode, but after that i reach the ODIN MODE screen with the details of product binary, KNOX, ecc. the phone shuts off again.
3: If i keep the power button pressed, the phone doesn't starts. It only starts if i replug the battery in, but after some seconds it shuts off again.
4: How could a call as another mess up the whole phone?
5: I didn't installed nothing new from at least a week... yesterday an automatic update of the Play Store took place, but except that nothing has been changed. Nothing of nothing! No settings, no apps...
What could i do? Installing Kies with Samsung drivers could help me flashing a stock rom for example? Because at the moment, there isn't too much that i can do with the phone in this state... I hope this little jewel won't have to become a stone to be thrown away. Any help would be great, and really appreciated. Thanks in advance...
Things has got worse. Now my device doesn't starts at all; no vibrations, no signs of life, nothing. I've tried even to put it for 6 hours in my refrigerator, because i've read that the cold temperature could be helpful to fix some broken contacts on some component, but i'm losing hope 'bout it. I supposed that at this point is something hardware-based and not software, because it's just impossible that a call like an other one could be the cause of this hard brick... The only thing is that if connected to my PC, it is being showed as QHSUSB_LOAD. I'll try some methods that i've seen in other forums, like softwares that tries to fix this, but i think that i'll be forced to buy a new device. Neither an usb-jig could help me to force the download mode if the phone is dead in every aspect... the only thing that i still didn't understood, is if a debrick.img on my SD card (sadly i've read that a microSD class 10 with at least 16 GB is required, and i don't have one) could help somehow on a situation like this one of not. Still no one could advice me with some tip, guys
Edit - feel free to close this thread, I have another phone now
Hi all, I got a serious issue, it's going to be a long post, because I want to provide as much detail as possible, so please read my whole thread!
My LG G4 H815 keeps rebooting whenever my charger isn't connected, effectively making it unusable.
When I unplug my charger, my phone could be OK for like a couple of minutes, but then the screen would suddenly go black, the LG boot logo appears and tries to boot back into my ROM.
Once i'm on the simcard code insertion screen, I would type my code as usual, but upon pressing the check mark, my phone emmidiately shuts off again and reboots again into an endless rebooting cycle like this:
Black screen -> LG Logo -> Custom ROM boot animation -> Simcard code insertion screen -> I press the check mark after typing my code -> REPEAT EVERYTHING.
(Sometimes I'm not even done typing my code and it would still reboot)
I don't have the official charger anymore that comes with the phone and I don't remember what happened to it and where it is (I think it was broken or something), so I've used a very different charger for quite some time now.
I've had bootloop issues before back when I was still on stock LG firmware, unrooted and covered by warranty, I've sent it back for a repair once but now it seems that i'm having a problem again.
My warranty period is long expired, so returning it now would be pointless.
However, maybe the problem could be the battery as well, meaning that it might not be a faulty motherboard after all, but I'm not sure.
I tried shutdowns for cooldowns, a cache wipe, pulling out the battery and putting it back in, charging to 100% while the phone is off but all without luck.
I've had this problem on CypherOS, LineageOS and on AICP (which are all the custom ROMs that I ever tried on my G4)
PLEASE. HELP. I can't take this anymore! I have to constantly use my phone plugged into a charger and it's become impossible to use it without it! :crying:
(EDIT): Nevermind, I solved it by getting a new battery 2 months ago.
