From what it seems no g4 is safe. From what ive read even the g5s are suffering from this bootloop to. Several people said that ic power managment is the problem and mother board replacement are the fix. Now i dont know how far all of this goes as i have a suposed safe model and only have had 4 months.
But from a longtime lg user id got with another manafaturer. Such as a nexus.

Suposedly they are. But. Many claims that even the refurbs. Claims that the one that lg repairs. Bassicly. Rumors are no g4 is safe.
Your best bet is to buy a refurbished one which already had a motherboard replaced...just ask the seller whether it is repaired

Hey guys check this video below even V10 H961N model is beginning to have a bootloop issue like the G4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POr1M3C5ijc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT4gTWn4gpM
LG are digging their own graves if this keeps happening no more LG
so what you guys think ?should u buy the V10 or not ?
This thread is only intended as awareness to buy new LG phones rest is your choice
Let me put it this way, Its also like this with the G5. Thankfully there were less reports of it with the V10 and G5, but it is still out there.
buying the v10 is up to the person, if he really wants the phone, and has a way of getting it with a warranty, he should go for it.
Hopefully LG's next line of phones (V10 successor and maybe G6) won't have this issue.
But you can never know with LG.
Unless they actually fix this with next flagships, the G4 will probably be my last LG phone.
Its only begining to start in the V10... G4 that i also sold also had bootloop well atleast i was saved his loss i just hate LG for doing these things i feel sorry for him n feel bad for myself but it aint my fault its LG
im planning to buy a bootloop issue v10 for 70 dollars.do you think i could still make it work?can someone send me a link to fix it

only way to fix is to replace yourself with new motheoard. or if it has warranty send it to LG..

Hello everybody,
I want to buy LG G4 dual sim smartphone. I hear that it has bootloop problem. I want to ask all of you. Should I buy it?
the bootloop problem is only on S/N:505 and 506 motherboards. You should check before buying if its 6XX then you are good to go.

Thanks. Just to make sure, has it been confirmed that 2016 devices don't suffer from this issue?

yes they do but in a lower sacel. so its i would say if you get a 6XX 601 and up maybe a 30% chance.. just make sure it has warranty.

I never had heard about a 6xx having a bootloop. I own 2 h815 with 6xx serial do you have any prove for that?
Tbo there will be no guarantee and as raptorddd said make sure you get the invoice with it. If the device has no guarantee anymore the chances are good (which is bad) that it is a 5xx device.

go to the reddit thread read there, go to the thread here G4 bootloop and youll see. the latest ive read was a 604 from some guy in russia. from pdnet forum. i have read people reporting from 601 to 603 just one 604. i have not seen or read a 605.
tbh I was considering the G4 only because I found a used one for cheap. Seeing the risk there is in buying one, I'll hold on to my SGS II for a little longer and get something like a OP3 later
i had a 506 which bootlooped, now I have 609. I hope this one is not gonna

and carrier iq is a set op apps sometimes that collects info from u and sends it to a unknown source like sprint . which wastes battery
ill link the threads here after while

Got a Green screen wasn't quite Quick enough to see what was on it and it was to small to read anyway........now can't get it to boot it has a unlocked bootloader and was running twrp recovery can't even get it in to recovery either.....no download mode either. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
I didn't get any green screen but my h815 also died. I was browsing instagram when phone just turned off. Since thne when i tried to power on the phone it only vibrates and shows me lg logo and then screen goes off. If i plug in to the cragrer it only shows me battery with loading signe before charging and then sreen also go black. Also found this.http://thedroidguy.com/2016/06/how-to-fix-your-lg-g4-that-wont-turn-on-or-boot-up-1060712
guess i will just go for another phone. Thinking to buy someting for around 200€ and then wait for either new iphone or pixel.

It happened to me EXACTLY the same thing with the same app and everything, the problem is that i sent it to warranty and they didn't fixed it because there was "humidity" on it. 6 months now (and counting) with an old Alcatel OT 991D because i can't afford a new phone. I was thinking about buying a new motherboard for the G4 but it might not be worth it anymore...

Check on Alibaba site. MBs for LG are dirt cheap. You can convert your phone to G5 or V10 simply changing the motherboard. All other components are same as in LG G4.

Are you crazy. Nothing in the 3 phones are really identical. This would never work. So u can hook a g4 lcd to a g5 or 10 mb. But nothing else would work. The volume rockers and diffrent. U need to do some studying. What about the dual cameras. The g4s speker in rear versus g5s on chin. Wtf man dont tell people this crap. Now people will start buying other mbs and asking why they wont fit right.

i tell people i no its not cheap either and i know times are hard but its better to just get a diffrent phone.
the resale valuer of most g4s is crap and cant really recoup the cash into it
