Hello guys i am currently using a Samsung S3 Neo and im looking to buy a new phone.So from reviews like Android authority it seemed very good,performance is great and the camera is amazing but i saw this problem with them called the ''bootloop'' so im wondering if I should buy it. Is the bootloop fixable or not existing anymore because i read that it was only in the models produced the first 2-3 months.

I'm still in love with this camera quality and performance overall.
Isn't bootloop related with custom roms?

I have it like for 6 months now and zero problems.
I didn't even thought the problem you mentioned was hardware related hehehe
I really thought was custom Rom related.
To be honest I never was a really LG fan because in my country there's like only a few stores with LG accessories etc.
Like I said, for me phone is about camera quality and performance because I use phone as a work gadget.
So... My next one will LG5 if camera please me.
Good luck in your buy

G4 right know has unbelievable value for money!
It has great performance, amazing display, top-tier camera (especially if you learn how to use manual mode), 3000mAh battery and ample ROM support
Just be sure to get an H815 International model if you plan on rooting and doing custom ROM!

you can root locked bootloader only if on lollipop 5.1 and you can also have xposed....
if phone its on marshmallow you also need to know the antirollback version.. like you cant downgrade marshmallow V3 antiroll to Lolliop V2 itll brick phone..
am you must be aware that some devices have bootloop.. and the best thing is for you to have the closest country that has bootloader unlocked... for example. if you are in europe and have the h811 tmobile from usa.. if bootloop.. the phone must be sent to tmobile or to LG usa. unless the place you buy it gives you warranty.... so its best to have one for your country.. if from usa .. they wont fix it in wurope you must send phone to USA...
here is the list on the ones that can be unlock.

Wtf? That is simply not true, I have unlocked my H815 while on V20D stock MM without any downgrade to Lollipop.
Just use official LG bootloader unlock, then flash twrp, then enjoy custom ROM world

read before posting i said to him to get a bootloader unlockable h815 phone. and i stated that he can only root locked bootloader one if hes on LP. just in case he doesnt get one unlockable one. as he might have to send it back in case of bootloop.

I was considering getting an H815 for use on AT&T instead of the new Moto. It appears that you can easily unlock the bootloader. It currently costs less than $450 on Amazon for a 32G leather version. It has an SD card, replaceable battery, great camera, and a good SOC (that does not have issues like the 810). So, why are there so few roms for it? I won't buy a phone unless it is first well-supported on XDA.

H815 will not work with VZ. You have to buy the VZ variant so no unlocked bootloader but can be rooted.

I also do not understand what this means. Are you saying that only OPEN EUR versions can unlock the bootloader and flash roms, and that so few people own them that no one has bothered to create a custom rom for the phone?

Almost all European h815 can get unlocked. H815 without European imei wont work.

As for ROMs, I have been noticing that for a few years on a lot of phones. If you want ROM's, you really need to stock with Nexus devices these days.
I have bought a G4 and luckily mine could be rooted. But yes, there are very few roms available and as a former Samsung user I must say I'm very disappointed with the help you get on the forums. Most queries aren't answered. If I were you I'd stick to HTC.
@phoneturf the h811 is the most prevalent version. I wouldnt get the 815.

Here it is a month later and the support for none of the G4 variants appears to have changed. There are a couple of stock roms for the T-mobile version, but doing a little reading I cannot even tell if there's a working TWRP or CWM for it. I decided to check back with the G4 since now I am instead considering a V10, although I suppose now I won't really consider that one either - I really wanted a replaceable battery and SD card.. If they sold one with an unlockable bootloader for all carriers, like Nexus, Moto, or OnePlus, I assume there would be much more support.
I bought a used G4 815 on Ebay, before I know that only the EU version could be opened (will see what's arriving in a day or two )
Is there any work being done on an Unofficial bootloader unlock?
I saw that the G3 does have allot of roms, did that phone was in the same situation as the G4 at it's beginning?

The G3 was originally in the same boat as the G4 as well in the beginning. That's why everyone is saying stfu and wait. A lot of folks just look at Nexus and other easy unlocks then expect everything to come into their laps within seconds.
And there is an unofficial bootloader unlock in the works. BUT it appears it only works if you haven't taken an OTA update before. All in good time my friend.

I am looking at the Blackberry Priv over the v10.
Take a look, it may do what you need it to and have some extra features added in as a bonus.
Only problem is I do not know what the dev community will be like for this phone.

Well it came in, it's H81510b-TWN-XX :crying:
In the hidden menu I don't see any "roolback" value, so does this says something?
Does using the "low effort root" / installing 11a or 12a will make the roolback value go to 1/2?

We would need to donate enough to buy him a g4...it was earlier stated that g4 was likely his next move...but he loves his g2...i can't blame him g2 was my favorite device thus far...if we get enough to buy him one or even half it may nuge him in moving to g4...but you are right the g4 needs him

yeah well unlocking for a variant or two is no where near enough. there's a lot of people that are "stuck" with a locked variant (like yours truly) that won't get custom kernel support without a giant hack from the devs here.

Lg isn't the problem...carriers are refusing to carry lg devices that lg offers official unlocks for...T-Mobile being the only branded device with unlock...thats why we need devs to get cm/aosp working on h815 so devs will want the g4 and with more devs moving in it gives more hope to get other variants unlocked
@tsiroto H811 needs a kernel just as much as the 815! They're a ton of people with the h811, the majority.

Verizon will not be (officially)unlockable due to their agreement(silent contract) but afaik lg is still trying to have unlock available on more variants as marshmallow is being released to the g4...will take time but they said they would release more as unlock methods become available...plus like i said unofficial methods will be worked on as more devs come to own g4s

G4 camera is the best bro thats why i want to update.....wait for g5?....hope best for you
I am on AT&T USA and interested in purchasing either a new G4 from them for $383 (after taxes) or a G5 from Craiglist (good source) for $400 and unlocking for $30 more, so about $430 or a $50 difference. I guess the smart answer would be to go with the G5, but I really dislike the looks, reviews have been pretty iffy and really like the G4 looks with the leather covers.
Would you please help me decide one way or the other? I also just learned the U.S. G4's have an unlockable bootloader, so no way to root or install custom ROM's. That's definitely a downfall for me. How about the G5? Did I mention I think it's very ugly? LOL
Thank you in advance.
G5 imo
Pay the extra $50
Depends on following:
• EU Model: Yes / No: If "No", go for Nexus. If "Yes", continue reading.
• I want official & almost stable ROMs: If "Yes", go for G4. If "I can wait": Go for G5.
Taking in consideration the G4 bootloop fiasco I would not go G4. It does not guarantee that G5 does not have any other problems, but at least you do not have the obvious one.

You are probably talking about the eBay deal that came out yesterday. I looked at it, but it's the US991 U.S. Cellular model. I want the EMEA model (read above).

The G4 is a year old now and what does it for me is the 808 chipset. I think the extra 50$ isn't too much for a newer and better phone. If there was a huge price difference then I'd say the G4

How many times is this gonna be asked? No one can tell you if it is fixed with "newer" G4 devices. Anyone who owns this device should have a backup device because you can't trust any G4... and even if its fixed, I still do not recommend this phone. It has many other problems which is in my opinion not worth to deal with. I regret buying this phone.
See my reddit post ---> https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/5glnlt/bad_quality/?ref=share&ref_source=link
If you really want to go with LG, buy the G5, that phone isn't flawless but much more reliable than a ''newer" LG G4.

Well simply no one can tell you for sure, there are some reports of newer versions boot-looping, but that are only a few but still some..
If I was you I wouldn't go for a LG G4. Take the G5 instead if you really wan't a LG phone. That phone has less problems and has better hardware and will be more worth your money in my opinion.

its a risk you are going to take.. but if your want to decide , then yes we cant tell you but, indeed 6XX have low chances of bootlooping but it doesnt mean it wont..
someone said that he opened old opne and when he received the 6XX the internal had better quality and previous had not.

Oh it didn't really bother me, I was more like: Another one wondering if newer versions of the LG G4 are bootloop free...
Well simply no one can tell you for sure, there are some reports of newer versions boot-looping, but that are only a few but still some..
If I was you I wouldn't go for a LG G4. Take the G5 instead if you really wan't a LG phone. That phone has less problems and has better hardware and will be more worth your money in my opinion.

Yes I know, I never said that there aren't G5's with bootloop problems but with that device it is way less common.
And that why I think he should better go for the G5 if he really wants a LG phone.
It's a worry though - if they can bring out a new gen device that still has the flaws it took them a 35000 strong petition to even acknowledge... not a trustworthy company.
I'm sorry to hear ppls had problems with their G4 phones .
What I can say , speaking from a developer perspective , LG g4 is great , at least the one I have , I have a h815 European Unlocked , serial number starts with 6xx.
I just can tell you that i stressed this phone like no other phone before .
I always think how this little piece can take so much stress.
I'm a rom developer and I can say I i flashed and reflashed over 10 -15 times per day different roms.
I build Maru OS for this phone and I runned Debian inside it ,with a lot of app oopened and a lot of multimedia tasks , and tested a lot how apps works on it , even games.
I used it like a pc , using debian and I can tell you I stressed it a loooot .
What I can say is that is a good harware , I do not try to convice anyone to buy one and I do not want ppls to spend money on something that can easly brick . But told you , I was impressed how mine resists to stress. No problems in 4 months.
Have a great day all !
Mine is 602 and it's still going strong. No issues. No overheating. It's works flawlessly.

No overheating? Is it on stock ROM? If so, which version please?
