Okay so ever since last night, my phone has been acting weird. I was on a voice call over snapchat and my phone kept turning itself off, unless I kept the voice call screen open. I though this was just something wrong with snapchat, so I went to bed. When I woke up, I couldn't keep my phone on, it would stay on for about a minute and then just either shut down suddenly or shut down showing the LG logo. I have rooted my phone and I am using cloudy G3 custom rom. I am able to get into twrp manually. I've tried taking the battery out, removing the sd card' wiping cache/delvic and nothing's working. I did get one kernel crash error and ever since that it has shown an android is upgrading screen on boot, before going into a boot loop. Any help is appreciated.

So, I flashed yesterdays CM10.2 and had no problems, up until today. I was in class, using twitter, set the phone down, and looked back at it 5 minutes later to find it shut off. I restarted it, figured no big deal, it turned off again. I thought there was a problem with that nightly so I flashed back an older, more stable one(still 10.2). It booted up, and shut off again. Now, though, the phone boots up, shows Samsung, then shows the GS3 and CM logo, then just goes into a loop from there. I went to recovery and tried to wipe, which, oddly, the phone restarted again. Luckily I was able to get in and wipe data before a new reboot, but even that didn't fix it. I rebooted into recovery again, and it said something like "root access available" and asked me if I would like to use root, which I didn't get the chance to fully read because it restarted again. When I am able to successfully boot into recovery though, I get a warning saying "no file_contexts", this could be it?
I've already tried to flash back stock Touchwiz with Odin, but it keeps failing to do so. Any help with this?
EDIT: After successfully booting up a CM10.1 backup, I've begun to believe the power button is broke, because the power menu will randomly popup, followed by a shut down.
It's called SDS sudden death syndrome it's very common on the S3. It's a failure of the power button. It's a defect. If your phone is newer than a year old put it back to stock and take it to sprint.

Hi all,
so i was driving on the road today using google maps and listening to the stock lg music player. I am rooted and have xposed on my phone for around a week or so. Everything is running good but all of the sudden my phone freezes and i tried to hold down the power button to reset but it didnt work. So now i removed the battery, waited a good minute then placed it back in. Started it up... sometimes it stays on the black LG bootup screen while other times it reaches the yellow sprint spark screen then it bootloops back to the black LG screen. I have gotten it to boot to the optimizing apps area once or twice some how but it always bootloops and doesnt finish optimizing the apps.
I just dont understand how having root and xposed running perfectly for a week and then a frozen screen turned into a bootloop. I have not messed with any settings since i got xposed. I have restarted the phone many times after i got xposed running.
Is there a way to factory reset the phone in stock recovery mode? (I was able to get into the stock recovery mode) If someone could please chime in to help, as i have no working phone atm.
TIA,
Steven
Edit----
Miraculously it booted up all the way. But i'm now stuck on the LGsetupwizard. After i press next on the wifi setup screen it says LGsetupwizard has stopped and goes back to the first step on the LGsetupwizard
I can get into the options menu, tried to stop the LGsetupwizard but it restarts the app after 5 seconds. For some reason my pc doesnt show the LG G4 icon in the explorer menu. I opened the debloat tool and it read my LG G4 fine. I blocked the LGsetupwizard but and restarted the phone. It still shows up when i reboot the phone. im out of ideas .
Well ill be honest, im not sure how i got it to work but adb finally was working. then i followed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-recovering-bootloop-twrp-t3167361
finally got it working again.
Question. -- By re-rooting the phone do you have to redo the whole xposed process or is it still intact, i would just have to download the xposed app?
Hello to all of you who's reading, I ask for help from all of the skillful and knowledgeable folk in this wonderful community, I have a LG G4 phone that ran on CM.13, everything was running fine up until two days ago, phone just froze for a minute, nothing was responding, it crashed and LG logo came on, attempting to power on, but 10-15 seconds later it goes blank and lights up LG logo again... Now I've tried getting into TWRP but factory data reset msg comes up, after hitting yes and yes screen lingers frozen for another half a minute until LG logo shows up. I can get into download mode and tried flashing a stock image with LG Flash Tool 2014, it looked like it went through successfully but ends up doing the same thing... loops without ceasing. Do any of you have any idea what is going on and how can I get it fixed? Thanks for reading!!
Well my G4 (VS986) has been running ok on 13b rooted since december 2015, and today it suddenly died, it was on my desk and when I tried to use it the screen was black and it won't turn on, something like this had happen before but I usually just remove the battery and voila it had it working again. But not this time.
Now It only goes to the LG screen and then it turns off again (but it doesn't bootloop) so I keep trying then I connected the phone to the charger and it tried to boot again and this time it went to a black screen saying Secure Booting Error and it was error code 1007 but it went off again.
Then I tried to access recovery mode and it can access and be there for 40 min and it wont turn off, however I can't put it on download mode alway when is connected to the PC it says "qhsusb_bulk"
Anyone have any idea on what happen and how to fix it.
Thanks.
Nevermind.. Say hello to a new bootlooping LG G4 !!
I put it on the freezer and after 20 minutes the phone boot up normal, but after a few minutes it went the famous boot loop.
Time for a new phone
Hiya!
I accidentally spilled a bit of water on the back of my phone and was quick to dry it off, but everything seemed to still work great.
Later on, I plugged it in to charge and it turned off once plugged in; I attempted to turn it back on but was met w/ a black screen (no lights/buzzing, etc). Then, I popped the back cover to find the bottom insides (where the headphones are, nothing above it) were a little wet. I took out the battery, dried everything off, and without thinking (probably my first mistake) I turned it on. It worked! But then it wouldn't go past the LG logo. So, then I tried 2 more times turning it on, same thing: bootloop.
I then tried to go to TWRP, that worked once, it crashed (It was a KERNEL error) then it went back to a bootloop.
"Fine," I thought, "Will just see if download mode works, maybe something became corrupt." Thankfully, I am able to go to Download Mode and flash H81120o_00_0613 successfully (from what LGUP says) , but after flashing, it goes to the little android logo like it is going to optimize apps, reboots, then it just shuts off.
Am I just screwed now and have the dreaded bootloop or is there anything that can be done?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
*edit*
Can't believe I forgot to mention, but it is a H811!
Also, after the flash, I am able to go to factory reset, it goes to the little Android logo guy again like it is configuring something, reboots, I receive a pulsating blue light, then it just turns off.
