LG G3 Blue Screen

Earlier today I was using my phone I forget what exactly I was doing I think I was using the web browser or opening an app. The phone randomly restarted and after the LG Logo screen appeared I got a blue screen for about 10 to 15 seconds and the screen went off. I pulled the battery to see if that would help but that didn't work. Tried safe mode and even factory reset both times got the blue screen (can get the little menu tho) I then plugged the phone into the computer and initially I could get it into download mode. But after installing the LG drivers, and installing LG Flash Tool I went to flash it back to stock. (My phone has pretty much been stock and unrooted except for the lollipop update. ) When I went to flash the phone screen went blue and the flash tool was unsuccesful at implementing the flash. I also tried the LG Mobile Support Tool. Now intermittently I can get the phone into download mode and get the computer to recognize the phone and LG Flash Tool to the ready stage to flash but after that no luck. Any suggestions? I have not tried fastboot or kdz conversions as I dont think those apply to my problem but I could be wrong

I work on phones for a living. Unfortunately, i think the motherboard is bad. Nothing you can do.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes

I know this sounds ridiculous but I just did it this weekend and IT WORKS. I pre-heated my oven to 350, removed the motherboard (without sim and/or SD card) and placed it in the middle of my oven on a piece of white paper for EXACTLY 10 minutes. Afterwards, I let it cool and re-assembled. My phone is now working perfectly and I didn't lose any data that was on my phone. I was able to back up my data and am still using it, although I am prepared for it to fail again at any point. I know this sounds absurd but it works. I would post the link but I can't until I've placed 10 posts. I thought this was important enough to share with others and that is why I created an account here. If the moderators look at this please add the link. you can just search Google for "lg g3 blue screen fix oven" and it is the first result right now on forums.androidcentral.com. I'm gonna go ahead and use my phone until it dies again, but for the last 48 hours it has been working flawlessly.

Use LG Bridge. Start the program, connect the phone. LG bridge should see your phone and will ask you to fix it's software. So you wait till it is downloaded and reflashed and after 1/2 hours (because of the slow software downloading speed to LG servers) your phone should get fixed ! I bricked my phone too firstly and then fixed it this way. Good luck !

If you're suffering from the boot-loop hardware failure then you may as well send it back to LG while it's still in warranty. I had to send mine back and was without it for a week, but at least it won't happen again... especially as I'm selling it now!

you could do 2 things.. one download KDZ use LGUP flash it and see if it was software related or something went wrong at flash.. if it keeps doing it then it has the bootloop issue.. and need to be sent back for repair....can you provide your first 3 digits of your serial number...?

yes it is its pretty easy... . file is big though... download kdz for you variant.. what android you are using.? MM or were you on stock LP.?
well i think since your phone is from 2015 august. that bootloop was supposed to be fixed by then. but newer phone are still getting hit by the bootloop.. but be aware unlocking the bootloader voids warranty.. some been lucky that phone were repaired some were denied repair..

Its been unlocked for ages and running the cyanogen rom, this is what is now stuck but was running fine. lg website doesnt have the programme any more, will hunt for it. so this will work even though phone doesnt boot?

here are the links but i think you got the BOOTLOOP problem that many been affected..
NO ...... the only way for your phone to boot and gather all data is to flash a moddedKDZ.. but am not sure if it works on your variant..
if you have warranty send it back...but if they find out its unlocked they may deny repair.. you must pay for it...
this will make it boot but it will make it slow. as it disables the main cores...

[H815] Stuck on lg screen, no bootloop, access to download and recovery ok [SOLVED]

Hi,
I've searched over xda and google before but haven't found anything relevant so I've decided to post my own problem.
My G4 freezed unexpectedly while listening to music, I had to remove the battery to put it off.
But it never passed the LG logo again.
So, i've been stucked on this LG logo, looking for an answer and found about this hardware issue but I'm not certain to get the same error.
It's not a bootloop (even if I sometimes got stuck in bootloop while trying everything to revive my phone), I have been able to get to the download mode and TWRP (which I don't have anymore because I went back to stock using LGUP and LG bridge), even though I hardly get to the download mode now (I sometimes manage to do it though). I've also managed to save my data when I've managed to enter TWRP (plug in, remove battery, push volume down + power while putting battery in) which, people with hardware issue haven't, as far as I know.
I've tried everything I could and wouldn't even be able to describe it all.
Do you guys know how I could be sure if it's hardware or software related ?
Last try: update via Lg Bridge, succeed but still stuck on LG screen.
Thanks a lot !

Flash a lollipop kdz via LGUP, then try the ILAPO (works only with lollipop, no marshmellow) metod, there is a thread on xda.
There is a video on youtube too

Thanks, I'm going to try this and let you know !

I gave a look on what you've suggested, but is that going to let me use the phone or only backup ?
From what I understood (and I might be wrong), this only allows to backup because the phone would be worthless...

You'll be abble to use the phone, but it would be slower duo to the fact that with ILAPO you disable the "2 more powerfull" cpu cores... this metod let only 1 core active from the other 4, if you want to use the other two you have to gain root permissions and install an .apk to reactive the other 3. It's a litle triky but better than nothing I guess ��
PS: if you dont want to deal with all this bulls**it send it to LG

Same problem
This morning my Lg G4 also got stuck in boot Lg screen. Did you manage to fix your issue or got the data backup ?

sometimes flashing stock LP firmware fix it.. sometimes you must send it back to LG for repair..

I managed to backup, it's a weird trick and you need to have TWRP installed I guess:
- Remove the battery
- Plug your phone (I used my laptop but I'm guessing it also work directly from the charger)
- Push volume down + power
- Insert battery holding those buttons
I managed to enter TWRP and backup with this.
It didn't work at first, I had to try it several times.
I also read you have to keep holding volume down + power until the phone reboot itself once, and then you get access to TWRP but I tried so many times differently I don't remember which one worked best. Anyway, it worked for me that way.
I didn't fix the issue and I sent it to LG... I'm so frustrated, it's been 10 years I'm into this stuff and I always managed to fix everything

Hi guys,
So my G4 just came back from LG, they replaced the motherboard and that's it... A bit disappointed to not having been able to fix it myself but at least, it worked.
I didn't have to pay anything since it was a hardware defect, LG took care of it.
Thanks for those who tried to help, I hope this post would be useful for some with the same issue.

I'm having this same issue out of the blue. Is your serial number one of the infamous "before 509" ones? I'm on TMo with the H811, so it may not be similar at all....but I'm at my wits end. I've never had a spontaneous boot loop happen to me before now. It was always something I'd done.

Indeed, my serial number was 505 something.
I've been there too, if it's spontaneous, it must be this hardware defect...

Interesting... Especially since mine was a 509 or something. I guess they missed some units. Oh well, I just JUMP'ed early with my TMo plan to the G5. That was my second G4 after a similar issue 13 days into owning the first one back in November. Having your phone spontaneously die is quite a fun way to spend your anniversary -____-. I wasn't about to give that model a 3rd try. Thanks for replying.

[PROBLEM] Not Bootloop - Please help [Intesting post]

Good evening everyone,
I come to you guys with a very particular problem. The LG G4 in question is an H815T (Asian variant). Let me clarify right now, it was not bootlooping. This one was getting STUCK at the LG logo, it didn't restart to it multiple times, it just got stuck there one day after turning off by itself. It did go into the download mode, though.
It went into the first part of the recovery, but when you selected that you wanted to factory reset, it got stuck there. The only way to get it out of the logo or the stuck recovery was taking the battery out. Interestingly enough, the phone DID charge at the stuck logo, albeit not so much due to the screen being constantly on at full brightness.
An even more interesting fact... I managed to fix it! I flashed the KDZ corresponding to the latest LP for the H815T, after the process was done, it did bootloop. I found the YouTube video about flashing a certain file to deactivate most of the cores and said "what the hell have I got to lose?"
Flashed the KDZ and.... VOILA! It showed the Recovery Android doing its job at Format Resetting !
Something even crazier... The phone booted into AndroidLP, I was worried about the cores thing, but the phone seemed to work at full speed... I was surprised to run HWmonitor and notice that all of the cores were active. The phone was fully working!!! Or so I thought... Now I have TWO problems:
I cannot update to MM. If I try to update from the phone itself (because it does say there's a new version available) I go back to being stuck at the LG logo.
When I make a call the screen goes off... nothing I do will turn it on, and if the other person does not hang up, the phone will remain locked. However, if I plug in a headset everything works normally.
Is there anything I can do about these two problems? Please, leave your comments and questions, I think this phone is pretty weird and I found nothing else like it on YouTube or here on XDA.
Take care :good:!

Idk for the call but for the mm you could try using something like lg mobile update tool... Something like that.
Be warned cuz i dont know if it will bootloop.

Got it! The sensors thing was definitely it for the screen problem. I also read this is very common with many screen protectors in 5.1.
Do you have any ideas regarding the issue updating to MM?

All good, Willy! Even is you're stuck at the LG logo, take your battery out, or it back in BUT DON'T TURN IT ON... Instead, try to access DOWNLOAD MODE. If you're able to do it, you can flash any KDZ you want, but be careful.

Yes ur right using a heavy screen protector will block all the sensors so ya try removing it... No issues in MM u can try OTA through wifi

your screen protector had the sensors covered . you need one with the cut out in the speaker and sensors..
