G4 Bootloop...Major Design Flaw???? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, being a sufferer of bootloop and not being able to solve, I have been digging the issue. What I found is
1. A good number of people are having the problem.
2. Provided solution: Changing the motherboard or Replacement of the device
3. Rumour: G4's before September 2015 have major design flaws. Sprint has been pulling in all their devices and giving replacement of the complained devices or offering other devices.
(I have attached screenshots of a community of Sprint users)
If this is real, why we people have to be sufferer? Those who cannot claim warrenty or have unlocked bootloader will do what? In my screenshots, u will find that, some sprint guy saying that it's a known issue. If it's a known issue, why not LG addressing it publicly and helping the buyers?
I have compiled some xda screenshots also to address the severity of the problem.

Ok I will shift it there.

[Q] DEFY MB525 at Technical Support

Well, the question I want to make to the community is that if anyone can identify, and, if the answer is affirmative, tell me how to replace the components identified in the attached image.
All this is because I sent my DEFY to the Technical Support because it wasn't recognized by the PC, in any of the USB ports, on any computer I have at home (all with the drivers installed, a W7 and another WXP), while the RSD Lite recognized it (in XP), but flash a ROM took several attempts.
As this was so weird, I flashed the phone with Vodafone Spain .sbf and sent it to the Technical Support, but recently I was asked to pay € 91 to fix it, saying that the warranty is void because the phone had a hit, when the USB failure was not after any major hit.
The point is that now I don't know what to do when I get it back, because I will not pay that amount, it is noteworthy that apart from that the phone is working perfectly, no irregularities in its functioning.
Sorry for my poor english.
PS: In case anyone needs the information, I sent the phone to Motorola's official Technical Support, SMS in Madrid.
Edit: Thanks to nogoodusername for the advise

Screen defects

I recently purchased a n7 and upon opening the box I noticed the issues with the bevel on the glass. The screen seems to be operating properly so it seems to be mostly aesthetic, but I'm was curious if this defect with the glass was common and I should hold onto this otherwise fine device or if this is fair uncommon and I should take advantage of the return policy.

80+ views and not a single nexus 7 owner can confirm or deny the presence of defects on their personal devices. Thanks for the input guys.

Is this comment necessary? This isn't a very busy forum so sometimes it can take a while for questions to get answered.
That said, my N7 doesn't have this problem. I am the type of guy who will keep exchanging a device until I get one that's flawless. If I were in your situation that's exactly what I would do.
Maybe it's some refurbished model with changed screen or something, but it's definitely uncommon issue.

Possible one click root??

Found this on youtube seems like its possibly fake.
Any ideas if its real seems to support a few devices

You've answered it by yourself. Do your own research for rooting, it's easy if you follow literally steps by steps
Funny that this root method was published 8 months before the phone even came out.

Will people STOP posting/asking/inquiring about a one-click root method? Unless it's released on HERE (which the devs said they aren't going to do) then STOP worrying about it.

OS freezes after adjusting sound, system gets buggy

Hi y'all, i recently ordered a T-mobile version of the G3 online. Opened the package and booted it up. Everything worked out of the box but then i noticed something. No sound! I tried adjusting the volume settings then it froze. Did some glitch that it load parts of the screen and go back to swipe to unlock. After which a factory reset made the Marshmellow OS run stable again. It is likely a hardware issue, perhaps damage to the part of motherboard. Microphone doesn't work and there are no sounds at all. How could i tell where malfunction is on the main board/chip? I would appreciate a suggestion on what could be done about this issue. [emoji20]

Send it to an engineer in hardware because you may broke some importants parts and explain hin the problem. Is the best option.

Your right - an engineer will be able to pin point what kind of damage has been done and where on the chipboard.

How do I remove all the "hi" crap off of this phone?

Only thing I find useful is the hiboard. The rest I'd like gone. Especially any ties to hicloud. I think hicloud, might actually be what's causing my work WiFi log in problem. It comes up in the address for some reason.

Google works best. But. You'll need ADB and knowledge of how to uninstall via adb. Unless your rooted, then it's much easier.
There is a spread sheet to go off, to remove "hi" stuff.
