I don't want to risk spending $400 on a likely-to-get-bricked phone. I'd like to buy the H815 version with warranty. If I get the bootloop problem after buying the phone, is it possible to fix it with warranty?
No.

yes,you can fix it with warranty(unless you don't mess with the phone). So far only 603 has been reported for bootloop issue. No idea about others.
602, no problems so far..
.
I don't think any devices are 'safe'.
The problem took between 6 - 9 months to appear for most people.
There's no possible way any 602+ users can say they have been using the phone for 9+ months without this problem.
My H815 serial number start 509 release date 16 Sept 2015 still going strong. Currently running H81520D stock firmware and phone unlocked but not rooted. I have been on several other incl CM13 and no problems so far.

Yeah, I agree. As far as 6xx series goes, not many people have reported but its too early to say its safe. But since this issue has been known by LG so they might fix the issue on all models which are in production. Hoping for the best since I have already ordered it!

Hope you get a recent model. i've had mine 2 months and its a 506.
Has LG figured out the real cause behind this problem? If some of the new phones have actually shown bootloop issues then that should mean LG failed to fix it.
Also, after fixing it from warranty, is there any possibility for the problem to occur again?
How many times will the warranty fix my phone?

goood question, i have heard people sent their devices and cameback then it occured again.. this should have a lifetime warranty on bootloop issue only.

Same here. Got a 603 after I sent in my 506 for repairs. The 506 was running strong and bootlooped out of no where so that fear is still in the back of my head.

I want to buy tomorrow the LG G4 but heard today that the phone have the bootloop problem, there is any way that I can check the phone in the store? and not wait until it die?
the about setting or something , and know if the phone that I'm buying have the problem or not?
It happend suddently without reason ,with all configs (locked/unlocked...root,no-root...custom/stock...mm lp ...)
it seem that all models are concerned,principaly s/n 505 ,but lots of 506 ,507......600,601......have been reported.

Yes, you are wrong. There are reports with 603 bootlooping, that was the replacement for a bootlooped 505

From my experience my defected unit that got bootloop and replaced sometimes when I plug the charger to the port., it detected as charged with usb it show [USB Charging] I forgot what's the precise word.
So my 507 is a ticking bomb. Waiting for it to happen.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
So far there is no way to tell if you have an affected device. The early serial numbers are the reported culprit, possibly due to their age. It seems to be around six/eight months before it hits. Device use may or may not play a factor.

You have to comb through the bootloop thread here and a few others at other sites but there have been a few reported. At least two of the reports do come from devices that were repaired and returned.
Pretty sure 600+ are fixed. Its very rare to see those go bad. Its not worse then any other phone.

Okay, I'm getting a LG G4 tomorrow. I was quite sure that If I get one manufactured in 2016, I won't have to face the bootloop issue. But then I heard people complaining about the issue even with the ones' S/N starting with 6xx. I also heard that it's due to a software issue not hardware like the previous ones.
So I was wondering what LG has to say regarding this new software problem? Should we expect a fix in the next update?Or, will I be safe if I get the phone and downgrade it to Lolipop from Marshmallow?

I am talking about the new ones. The 2015 ones had a "loose connector in the motherboard" which caused the bootloops but LG fixed it in their new phones but another bootloop issue arose but this time it's due to the new Marshmallow version of Optimus UX

are you sure about that they 'fixed' it ? Recently a phone with 603 s/n reported for bootloop failure. I'm not really sure that's a software problem caused by marshamallow because they will have know it (due to their tests on phone before releasing)

I don't about the phone you're talking about but my 509 was repaired with a 603 motherboard that only lasted 3 weeks before getting the bootloop issue itself. During this time the phone was hardly used as I was waiting for Vodaphone to unlock it and I don't flash my phones.
Hi, LG changed the motherboard of my lg g4 in 3 days. I had bootloop problems with my old s/n 505. That's ok, but my new serial number starts now with 610. It's good now? Anyone with new problems s/n 6xx?
Yesterday, my groupmates and I were presenting this VR application to our panelists. Somehow in the middle of the demo, my phone rebooted and it took a while before it actually opened. After it opened though, a few seconds or about a minute later it will reboot again and this happened a few times so I decided to turn it off. Later, when I decided to turn it on again it won't let me past the LG logo and it just keeps on bootlooping so I decided to turn it off by removing the battery and let it stay off for a while. Again when I decided to check on it, the phone won't even turn on even after holding the power button for a few seconds and trying to remove battery and place it back. I decided to check on it later again and it would boot but only until the LG logo again and this time it stays there for a few seconds and then it goes black and this just keeps on happening every time I try opening it. I even tried to do a hard reset (reset to factory settings) but only the same thing happens, the phone freezes at the "Yes" option when doing the factory reset and it goes to black after a few seconds. I even tried flashing a firmware but it won't let me do it because the same thing happens (reboots into LG logo, freezes and then turns black).
What could have happened? Is there anyway to fix this? :/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: My phone (H815) is running MM, not rooted,

Unfortunately you are also in bootloop effected G4 club now. If it is in warranty, claim it as its board will be replaced, it is hardware failure. What is Serial Number of your G4?

Your S/N is on the phone behind the battery. They will also need your IMEI number.
So you, just like hundreds here, and I am pretty sure it's thousands globally have got bootloop issue so there is no need to create new thread as that is not going to fix your issue as you are in the same boat just like all of us with probably your serial number starting with 505xxx.

I'm sure you'll find all the answers going through threads on LG G4 bootloop issue. Seems like the pins on the qualcomm chip get somehow loose or unstuck from the motherboard overtime (usually the 2 big cores) that why the phone is unable to boot when that happens. That's why disabling the big cores helps to boot the phone using only 4 small cores.

U cant claim warranty from lg unless u buy from them directly ...u best bet is to contact the online store n tell them to contact LG otherwise ur screwed lg will never accept warranty n fixing it via technician cost 200US$ cuz they need to replace a motherboard from fixed working g4....isnt lg phones a pain in the *** next time dont buy lg phones...

That is not correct. 12 month warranty is provided by LG for the device so he can go ahead and get in touch with LG. As long as he's got proof of purchase that's all they ask.
Hi, just bought a second hand g4 with serial number starting 509 will the phone possibly bootloop? Also the phone is the Taiwan model and I currently live in the UK, will having the Taiwan model cause any problems? Thanks
It may Bootloop it may not. There is no definite answer. You may have problems with a non EU model in the EU. They may fix it or may not. You have to ask an LG service centre about this.

If you ask if 509 is prone to Bootloop issue I think it is. Most bootloops happened on 505 though but the general consensus is the newer G4 you have the less chances for bootloop. Again there is no definite answer. We do not know the dirty details. We don't know which S/N is safe and if LG fixed the problem and from which S/N and after they did. We purely rely on public reports to draw conclusions. Up until now 6xx seems safe with only 1 or 2 ppl reported a bootloop on Reddit. Just make a backup and keep your data on the SD card. If you get a bootloop contact LG. They seem to be aware of the issue and fixing all broken phones even out of warranty some times.

In US cost of repairs alone is 200US$ cuz of morherboard replacement either that or which u can get a used g4 at the same price so even if ur bootloops there is no point of fixing it....all i can say for u is to wait for atleast an year after the bootloop so the prices fall down for repairs....there is no way u can send it to taiwan also there is no warranty n recepit thats only even if u have a friend there...
Avoiding heat
Hi all am in same boat. Got a EU H815 an 506 hw1.0 and until a week ago had never heard about bootloop issue. I've had unlocked bootloader, rooted with custom ROMs nearly whole ownership and as a result have never had any heat up issues. After reading 100s of pages of the issue my conclusion is that it seems to be heat that affects a soldered component which eventually fails. So based on this theory I'm using Kernel Adiutor to control the throttling when CPU temp gets >55degc. It is only an educated guess but does seem logical. Hope it helps others

Seems like the issue calmed down over the winter in the northern hemisphere. And now that the summer is in full bloom people are looping like crazy. Im hoping between being almost as far north as one gets in usa. So like 85 far. Is blazing here. Plus me doing the thermal mod im keeping my device cool enough to make it as i have no waranty so a mb replacement costs me about 200 dollars american.
I have a s6 and a couple other mid range devices. I wont hesitate to toss my g4 in the trash. I got mine on a trade in from my g3 i only paid like 150 for my g4 so nope not me. Unless i get one cheap.
If this was an automobile this would be a recall i dont understand why these devices arent recalled.
I saw a news cast talking about how they make devices so cheap and breakable "for the economy" why would u buy the newest devices out if your old ones are running quite perfectly they say. So this is for economic reasoning. So go ahead lg keep making s****y devices i will buy a new one but not from you.
Yea i want a g5 but i wont give more that 100 bucks for it in the fear of failure.
Like i said keep it up lg seal your economic fate........

If this was an automobile this would be a recall i dont understand why these devices arent recalled.
I saw a news cast talking about how they make devices so cheap and breakable "for the economy" why would u buy the newest devices out if your old ones are running quite perfectly they say. So this is for economic reasoning. So go ahead lg keep making s****y devices i will buy a new one but not from you.
Yea i want a g5 but i wont give more that 100 bucks for it in the fear of failure.
Like i said keep it up lg seal your economic fate........

They are always better options than LG out there...the credibility rate for lg is always has been the worst thats why there used phones are sold dirt cheap everywhere
Hi, my G4 had bootloop recently, motherboard was changed under the warranty. New motherboard was made in 04/2018. Is it known if newer motherboards still have a bootloop issues?
I cannot found any relevant informations. Maybe because nobody already have this old phone

they are all bad as far as i know. And yes, nobody has this phone as its later revisions bootlooped after warranty and its more expensive to repair this piece of crap than what it is worth even after repairing.
I have my bootlooped G4 in a drawer since 1 year ago.
I have a phone that's never bootlooped
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.

It's not just 505, 506 even 512 died on XDA. Haven't heard anything from 6XX tho. Not, yet.

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
