I have been using a rooted Verizon LG G4 with xPosed installed for a while now with no problems whatsoever. However, today when I was watching a video on Youtube, my phone suddenly turned off and entered into a bootloop. I can't seem to get out of it. I've tried:
- Pulling battery (duh)
- Pulling SD card
- Safe Mode (goes back into bootloop)
- Clear Cache (goes back into bootloop)
- USB Debug mode (bootloop)
and even - Factory Reset (currently bootlooping again)
My computer also doesn't recognize it, but I guess that's understandable because it's in a bootloop. I can hear the "device connected" sound from Windows 10, but I can't find my phone anywhere.
Is there any way to save this phone?
Same here, any luck since?

I ended up using the "Return to Stock with KDZ method" and flashed 11a firmware, but I'm still stuck bootlooping. I emailed LG, but they haven't replied yet. I'm out of options now, but it looks like I might have a new paperweight that can display the LG logo.

I called Verizon and got a replacement. It will be here Tuesday. I think the processor had all it could take. It runs too hot. I told them I tried everything including the FDR like you tried. They asked no other questions. Said it sounded like a major hardware issue.

What options do you think I would have? I bought the phone with a check from my friend who bought it from Best Buy, so I don't have a proof of purchase that LG needs for my G4 to be repaired. Do you think I could call Verizon as well, or do I need to start looking for another phone?

Do you pay the monthly insurance? The worst they can do is tell you that you're out of luck. I would call them first thing in the morning. It took me literally like 20 mins this morning. They never asked if I had rooted or anything. If all else fails PM me and I can tell you a great site to get a used phone on. I don't know how they are with links on here.

Personally I would first delete spotify then reboot see if it fixes it,I personally don't think its the app spotify but worth a try. I would then also backup my data and try a factory reset. If that also does not work consider re flashing a new stock rom.

Nope it may remove the app but not root and service will be able to tell if it's rooted..Best way is to flash a stock kdz to get rid of any traces of it.

Hi, sorry to hijack the thread but my LG G3 d855 is exactly the same. on 29th December i noticed that the wifi wasn't connected to my home network, so did a reboot and still the same. I spent an hour or 2 googling this to find i wasn't the only one. Most had suggested a factory data reset, however said that this doesn't always work. I tried that and still the same so rang my network provider who passed me through to LG UK. It was booked in for a repair and collected on the 5th Jan. I got the phone back on the 26th Jan, and it took me less than 10 minutes to get the same wifi not connecting issue again. On the repair note it states they have changed the ic/pa/filter and updated the software to v20l (although I'm sure i was on later than that anyway). I rang LG again and it was collected the next day. I received the handset on tuesday, and the note this time said software updated, phone tested. I put the battery in, turned the phone on and within a minute found that the wifi would not turn on at all. I also noticed that the build version was V20h, which is a downgrade from the version that was on the phone when i sent it back to them.
I have rang LG again, and was told that they would look at it, but that i might need a new phone. When i questioned the new phone statement and asked why i needed to buyt a new phone, the woman didnt answer me. Anyway, the phone is getting collected today, and i really dont hold out much hope that it will be repaired. I have mailed LG direct to complain about this but i am at the point where i might move away altogether from LG. I am stuck until June waiting for my contract to expire, but am so frustrated with LG and their repair service as they have had my phone over a month now and havent fixed it.
This phone (g3) have bad quality components....my last lg....back to Samsung....I want my S5 again or a new S7 or note 4. Fantastics super amoled displays, great conections, all works. I'm tired of suffering...kkk

Well, update so far is they have "repaired" the handset and its on its way back to me so will get it on monday. I was going to bet a guy at work that it wouldnt be repaired but he wouldnt take the bet. if its still not fixed i think i need to go down the replacement route. I have tried to be polite about this, but the fact that they have ignored 3 emails from me trying to raise a complaint, numerous tweets and facebook messages is making me feel like LG are not a company that can be trusted. I realise that I am a tiny insignificant stone on the bottom of their shoe and am meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but i've never dealt with a company that simply ignores you....
I will update on monday when i turn the phone on
So as a follow up, I got the phone back on Monday and so far it is working fine, WiFi is connecting with no problems. The fix that has been reported is replacing the mainboard. 1 niggle now though is that there is now a hiss in the headphones that comes and goes which wasn't there when i sent the phone in for the million repair attempts. I cant be bothered to go through the hassle of reporting it and sending it off for repair so I'm just going to live with it (its not too bad, just annoying when the music is quiet or paused). I only have a couple of months before I can upgrade, and had thought about a G4 or G5 but after the past 2 months i don't think i'll bother.

so sorry for late reply, didnt know you had asked a question. Mine was done under warranty (apparently LG have a 2 year warranty with Three) so mine was fixed under that. I would guess that it would of been about 100 quid though for the work that they did, if not more. It took them far too many attempts to fix it though, which has left me with a bitter taste towards LG, so not sure whether to get the G5 next, the G4 or move onto a different make altogether

I actually havent got it repaired and im still using it. I called lg and they told me there was a one year warranty on the g3 so im just keeping it until i decide on a new phone to get
my phone is rooted i'm on 13B everything was fine since i got my phone back in august till today i was listening music and was gonna skip to next song that moment is when my phone froze completely after pressing the power button the phone reboot by itself but got stuck on the lg screen i removed the battery after a few attempts it turned on. after 30 minutes or so it rebooted it self again but now even removing the battery it won't pass the lg screen. any ideas? suggestions?
probably the same problem a lot of other people are having. I also had the same symptoms as you, on rooted 13B.
you can try resetting or reflashing your phone but most likely you need a replacement.
theirs a problem with the motherboard going bad, i just had the same problem and lg sent me a replacement under warranty but i wasnt rooted

I put the phone in download mode and flashed 13B KDZ. But unfortunately my phone got back in the bootlop. Good thing I'm gettingmy replacement
It's a hardware issue, not software. A lot of the earlier G4s have "loose contacts" that cause the bootloop to occur. LG has acknolwedged it and are replacing any affected phones without incident. Just call verizon and they'll ship a new one.
Yup, happened to me just his week. VZW shipped another one to arrive the next day. FWIW, I strongly recommend everyone backup their phone to removable SD card using LG's on board Backup utility. If this challenge happens to you, getting back up and running quickly will be much easier if you have this backup ready to go.
...my $.02.
Happened to me as well last night. Took it back to Verizon today and they are sending me another one. I didn't have insurance and no questions were asked. Obviously they recognize the problem. Last LG phone I will own! Unless the G5 is insane. Hehe
Happened to me as well, yesterday. Interesting how this is happening to everyone at almost the same timeframe. I'll take it to Verizon to get a replacement shipped.
I had the same problem, and contacted LG support and they said it will take 9 business days to repair the phone. This seemed like an awful long time to be without a phone, I asked if there was any way to speed the process up and they said no. Thankfully I was able to borrow a phone from work for the duration of the repairs. Considering how this is a major problem with many handsets, I think LG is handling the whole situation pretty badly.
Hello guys,
I have a LG G4 H815 variant which shut off while talking on the phone. I did not install any new apps or anything new but got OTA update from LG 2-3 days before this happened.
I removed the battery and after I kept it back, and sometimes LG logo comes and then phone shuts off. Few times it also rebooted like 3-4 times by itself but did not pass the lg logo screen.
Now comes the most important thing, we recently had a baby (5days ago) and have all the photographs and videos of birth and delivery in this phone. I need that to be recovered, so please help with this first and then may be fix the phone next.
So hard reset of the phone is not an option I suppose. I also tried connecting to windows/Mac and system doesnt recognise the phone
I really appreciate any help from you guys.
sounds like you have the lg bootloop bug people have kept trying and eventually the phone has started

So do you mean to send it to UK..... I called US LG support, they said to contact UK support.... they said, they can only send packages to Uk to send the phone for repairs. What about the data on phone? I need the very important photos of my newborn.
try the freezer method

I brought the phone back to the shop where I bought it, as I had a 2 year warranty with them. They sent it to one of their repair centers and in 8 days it was fixed for free.
I suggest to try the freezer method posted above and hopefully it will boot and you can manage to get your photos off the phone.
In case it won't boot all or just sits on the LG logo, then it is hard to recover as (probably) they have to replace the whole motherboard (like in my case) and it is unlikely they will bother with recovering data. However you may ask them very nicely, but they might just ignore it.
I was regularly using my G4, it was on cyanogenmod 13 nightlys for a good while now and i updated it every week or so. (haven't updated it in at least 10 days this time but it shouldn't be an issue) Suddenly the device turned itself off and went into a bootloop. I found a couple of weird things with this bootloop.
1. it wont boot into the device ever. it just shows the LG logo for a few seconds, goes black for a second then repeat.
2. I cant enter recovery mode, i used the button combination and go to the "factory reset" screen, selected 'yes' twice and i should have been sent to TWRP, which i have installed. But instead it just took a while on the yes/no screen and then blacked out, and rebooted back into the loop.
3. Sometimes it goes a bit further in the loop, and gets a little into the boot animation i have. I found that letting it run a longer time gets me a higher chance to see my little boot animation.
ive heard there was a hardware issue with LG G4's that were bought back in September of 2015 but i bought mine in June last year so i don't think that's the issue.
i didn't backup my phone for a long time so i'd love to get my files back! (otherwise I'm getting a new phone in a couple of days but i still need it until then)
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! thanks!
What is your phone's S/N?

I have the exact same problem, my phone died like this yesterday. The colder the phone is the longer it runs without rebooting so that might be a hint for you, although i have never seen it boot up completely. Maybe you can put it in the freezer or something like that. I was lucky because i just switched to cm13 and make backups of all my data the day before.

no idea. I know it hits some within a specific range but i did check the back of the phone where the battery is and it says there H815 0506 twice H815 0430 once and H815 0508 and H815 0501 both once. Does this mean anything? how can i check the S/N if its in a loop?

I'm sorry but it seems you both have THE bootloop problem not a weird bootloop.. It does affect many more than "bought in September" devices. Actually more of the June devices..

People in the US and some European countries (ie Germany) didn't have a problem getting it fixed under warranty despite unlocked bootloader, root or even custom roms (because it's a known hardware issue unrelated to software).
Others did.
Try, you got nothing lose..
As for a fix, there is a process that involves disabling CPU cores, has worked for some. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=67149552

I bought the phone as an international phone from a phone store. I dont have an LG center here and if i try to ask the store to fix it under warrently i'll probably get turned down because the bootloader is unlocked (you can clearly see that in the LG screen)
I will try talking to them but with ~20 days of warranty remaining i doubt my success chances are high
I brought mine from a phone store unlocked too (Carphone Warehouse in the UK) and it also had an unlocked bootloader running Cm13.
When it started suffering the bootloop problem they repaired it no questions asked. Worth a go.
Mine done that but wouldn't turn on after I took battery out I didn't try asking on here but no luck so I took it to insurance and I ended up with the g5 as they had no g4 repaired and ready to come back to me in 24 hours lol. Carphone warehouse ? big thanks to them now to wait for g5 to get some good stuff ... ?

Woke up last saturday morning, grabbed my phone on the way outside and it was off, dead battery, went and grabbed the spare from the charger popped it in, and hello infinite boot loop death.
Ive tried the freezer trick, but waiting 15 mins for 63 apps to optimize each time is death.
I called LG spent 2 1/2 hours on hold, disconnected 3 times, and when I finally got a supervisor to speak with I had to convince them the boot loop was a known issue and they would call me back on Monday. Never got a call.
Following day went into Best Buy where I purchased the phone and it was 11 months old, 505, they advised me to go to Verizon, Walked over to the verizon store a few doors down and had a great customer service experience, they took everything I said for face value, offered to send me a 'Like New' replacement, got that phone 2 days later, started up, and its a bigger piece of **** than my boot loop brick. Wont stay on for more than 5 mins, sometimes it boot loops, other times it doesn't, locks up harder and faster than a frogs bhole ..
once again went back to Verizon, again amazing customer service, now on my 3rd LG G4 in the mail, 2nd Like New..
I am pretty done with G4 completely.. and I can't just upgrade because I'm on the ULD still.. so I'm going to try and press for my replacement credit if/when this phone fails again and try the BB trick again.
My question to XDA users is what VZW phone are you looking at after your G4? I really need something that can have the hotspot unlocked. the Galaxy S7 looks decent, but looks like boot loader unlock is not coming, and worse camera.
here is a highlight of my conversation with LG Supervisor that has made others laughed:
Me: Based on LG's faulty manufacturing and after this phonecall process bad customer retention, can you give me one reason to ever buy an LG product again... just one?
Supervisor: umm come on *my name* you know why
Me: no please, tell me, you have a poorly constructed phone, and you're arguing with customers over the fix, and now you're telling me there is nothing you can do to make me the customer happy so I purchase another LG product..
Supervisor: I understand, but, but, LG is... well because they're good.
Me: ahh yes good. what is good exactly the products or the customer service?

Supervisor: I understand, but, but, LG is... well because they're good.
Me: ahh yes good. what is good exactly the products or the customer service?

Im worried that by doing that I'll void the warranty and LG won't accept my claim, i've also rooted the phone, and i've read negative feedback on that also.

NO they won't find out I did it all & got my phone replaced they want to keep there customers so they'll do whatever it takes to make the customer happy
My phone is a 510 build. Still rev 1.0. If I were looking right now for a phone on Verizon, it would be the S7 or the wait for the next Note or Nexus. If you were to not use Verizon anymore, which is what I'm contemplating, I would either get a Nexus or OnePlus Three.

access adb with usb debugging on but dev options off
sooooooo.... i have a verizon g4 thats on 13b and rooted . i tried to edit a line in the build.prop file to allow ANY 2 apps to open at the same time and i did something wrong and now im stuck in a boot loop. i would normally just use lg root tool to reflash the rooted system img to my phone to fix this, thats not too big a deal. my real problem is i have usb debugging on but dev options off so usb debugging prob is too so adb will b useless if thats the case sooo i guess i just need to know if usb debug will work if dev options are off?

Are you wanting to get data off of it or just reset it? Or are you wanting to just try to fix the build.prop? How far does your boot get (LG screen or Verizon)? Will it boot into download mode?
EDIT: I just turned on debug and turned off dev mode, and it automatically turns off debug. I couldn't connect to my phone via adb. The way that I escape from bootloops, at least when it makes it to the Verizon screen, is using LGUP in the same way the downgrade is done. I can't post links, but it is at this post: forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/downgrade-mm-to-ll-lgup-t3322616
