Many saying 601 602 and 603 boot looping.
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/4c0x9l/newer_versions_of_lg_g4_with_bootloop_600/
I myself am on 602 and worried as I've had the screen behave strangely three times. I wonder if this is why LG won't push any more updates on the G4

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)

only 1 phone? Well
Well how do you know that guy didn't screw up his phone himself? Like when flashing a custom ROM or something!

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?
Hello everyone,
A friend of mine had an issue with his G4, the Cpu pin melting problem, so his phone got stuck in an infinite bootloop and after trying everything to resolve it the only way out was to change the motherboard.
Now my question is, knowing the h815 still got this probelm, we found a cheap h818 MB, will it fit correctelly in a phone designed for the h815? Like will it work and perfom the same?
Thanks in advance for your answers .
I tried to replace the H815 board with H818P board (screen cracked), but the display of the original H815 didn't work (no backlight) ...
Thanks for replying, anyone else can relate?
I am upping this.
Please anyone i really need to know before buying one !
lol ! this is a forum full of developers, not mechanics !!!
also h818 has only a few support, only the single sim g4 has big support.
And who can say for sure YES ?
And if the motherboard has any issues ? Then what ? you are gonna log back in here and spit on us ? haha
Anyway, ask this an experienced mechanic.
Chill dude wtf?
Posting bull**** like this really wont help, stop playing the smarty around the forum, someone may have been trought the same case as me and could have the answer so whats wrong asking? Coming back spitinf if it dosent work? Thats your kind, not me.
I have tried twice swapping LG H810 (single SIM) board with LG H818P (Dual sim). But none of them work, LED just blinking green, screen off. It will charge to full, but with dead screen. Suddenly, the phone ringing and buzzing by itself.
I think they're not compatible.
The problem could be lies in the daughter board I guess, well i havent tried swapping the lower parts of the backside cover where the daughterboard is
The H818 is one of the only LG G4 boards that cannot be bootloader unlocked officially or unofficially (it can be unlocked with steadfasterX's UsU method but the screen touch function is lost, rendering the phone useless except as a fancy paper weight). So if being able to have a custom recovery like TWRP or being able to install a custom rom like LineageOS is important, it's not a good option whatsoever. Recommend you pass on it.
I just got a new G4 from B&H. I'm nervous about keeping the phone due to the issues. The manufacturing date is 9/2016 and the serial number is 609. I cannot believe that LG would knowingly manufacture more potentially bad phones in 9/2016. What do you think? Am I fairly safe in keeping the phone???
There are higher chances than old variants of it not happening, but it can still happen.
A positive example would be my G4 with 605 as its serial number, nearly a year on this thing and still no bootloop (unlike my sisters 509, that after 8 months entered bootloop, but she repaired it)

theres no guarrantee. it may bootloop..
but anything grom 601 up. its good . there a very low chance, your is most likely not to. as it very new.
My refurbished LG G4 H818P going strong and fine from April 2016, till now no bootloop and it's a SN603 from SN506, the motherboard SN506 died only in April itself. I believe LG admitted quietly will replace new motherboards for free! I hope that SN600 and above is free from bootloops.
My G4 s/n 602 has no issues at all. Not even overheating.
Nobody can really vouch for it. I have a 604 and I did not have any issues regarding bootloop. I have been using it with the stock LG Rom for 10 months now since May last year. I would keep it stock with a different launcher if you do not like LG UX 4.
S/N 603 no problems so far..
I own two h815 with 603 serial. Heavy usage. Absolute no probs.
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
Hey guys i got a G4 H815p with SN 507 i use the phone since a year, am i on any risk of sudden death with it? I only use the phone for calls and social media apps and taking pictures of course. Nothing beyond that. The only issue I've had is image retention/screen burn.

it could as supposely 510 were fixed.. most likely yeah. but maybe you have one of the lucky ones.
Ok' i got LG G4 H815
My dad were using this phone suddenly it just stopped working.
When he gave me the phone i tried to boot and it got into the part where it optimizing apps and it just froze and rebooted.
After that it stuck and black screen appears.
Until i pullout the battery and turn on the device it wont respond.
Now im on Download Mode, i dont know what to do. please help me
Send the phone to LG, they should replace the defective motherboard without any charges. Because it is a hardware failure responsible by LG. Only 2015's LG flagships LG G4 and the LG V10 are prone due to their early batches.
