My G4 wont boot - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
First my phone is a H815, bought on amazon, bootloader unlocked since it was possible, and running on Freedom rom.
Yesterday night it ran out of battery and now it wont boot.
I tried of course to remove the battery and charge it over night.
When power it on, thereis the LGlogo as usual, but then the screen turns off and nothing happens. Sometimes I can see the beginning of the boot animation before the screen turns off.
When the screen turns off, I have to remove the battery before I can boot it again, but it never starts.
I tried to boot on recovery mode (TWRP) by pressing pwr + vol- but after I select "Yes" twice the screen turns off again.
Last thing, when I connect it to my PC in Update mode (vol+ then plug) I see Download Mode, then screen turns off. I managed to get to the S/W screen once but the screen still turns off after a certain amount of time.
This is very weird I don't know what to do

I just saw on another topic that several people had the same issue.. that sucks so much

Its a hardware issue try to have it warantied by lg. Or replace motherboard

Lol several try hundreds. Im not bein a smarta$$ this is a majpr hardware defect. Im sure there are thousands that havnt reported it or not xda members.

mm if it keeps on on bootloop hardware if it just turns off then battery.?

Like raptor said. Could be batt if it just shuts off. G3 were noted for this also. I got on3 in my posesion doing it

My battery might be dead, is that what your are trying to say ? How can I verify this ? Even pluged it doesn't boot.

sometimes the batteries just die give out kick it if all else fails order a cheap battery and try.
if not send to lg for waranty

Ok now even if I remove the battery and put it back, nothing happens when press the power button, nothing as well when I hold vol+ and plug it to the PC.

[Q] Device wont turn on after loosing all the battery

Hello. I am facing a serious problem. The device accidentaly lost all its battery when it was turned on and it turned off. I tried to charge it while it was off but it seems that it is not charging because of the unlocked bootloader (i unlocked it with freege. i think that the bootloader is mako geehrc). The result is that when I press the power button it shows the boot animated logo but then suddenly it shows the shut down animation logo and it turns off. :crying:
Also it turns on only when the charger is connected. Otherways, the power button does nothing. What I am going to do?
Happened for me few times on stock rom. Connected phone to charger and waited for a 10-15 min and it switched on.

Thanks for the response.

Something like that happened to me 2h ago.. the only change it's i can't even go into battery animation or boot animation.. even i can't enter recovery.. no led.. It's like dead.. more than 15m connected to charger.. nothing happened.. uwuU
Edit: I resolved it.. i don't know why.. at 3h trying to charge/boot it shows the LG logo so i could start up the phone as usual.. at 3% battery.. I won't ever let it shut down xwx
Same issue, I'm terrified of letting it drain completely, my fix is to connect the charger for a couple of minutes, remove it and then attempt to boot into bootloader mode, then into recovery and plug it again, once it has charged a couple of % in TWRP I reboot system and hopefully it will load the ROM as usual.
UPDATE:
I found a solution! Have your charger connected and nearby, while holding down; power and volume up connect your charger to your phone, it should enter fastboot, then just release all buttons and press power one time, it should boot normally.

[Q] ATT LG3 Won't Turn On Completely Unresponsive

I have an ATT LG G3 yesterday it the phone suddenly won't turn on. It was on with mostly full battery and now won't turn on and is competley unresponsive. When I plug it in, no charging light comes on. Additionally I tried the hard reset by holding down power and down volume key; this gave me nothing.
Thinking that it might be a battery problem, I left it plugged in all night. But still nothing.
Any ideas?
Had the same problem

I had the same problem and pulling the battery wasn't cutting it. This worked for me:
1. Take out the battery
2. WITH THE BATTERY OUT OF THE PHONE AND NOT PLUGGED IN, press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds.
What this does is it drains all the power stored in the phone and takes the power source away so the phone can fully reboot and refresh the power cycle.
3. Replace he battery and plug in the phone to the OEM LG Charger that came with the phone.
4. Let the phone charge for about 15 minutes then try to turn it on.
This worked for me but some phones are DOA being the phones are still in early production. It takes a few months before they work out all the Kinks.
I figured I'd add my two cents. I had the same issue with my D851 (T-Mobile) version. I was copying a file over my from computer and halfway through the phone shut off. I thought the screen timed out, but it wouldn't turn back on. I pulled the battery, tried holding the power button without the battery for 60 seconds, putting the battery back in, charging without the battery... nothing. The LED would never light, and the phone would never turn on. I contacted LG and it's currently on its way back to them for replacement.
I work for a wireless service provider and not only sell this phone but own one. I also had the problem and unfortunately the battery out power combo did not work for me either and swapping the battery was to no avail. I have seen one other DOA as well. I have noticed the new LG models have had some significant flaws and lemons when they've first come out but I feel the specs and price you get are worth the risk so if this does happen to you I wouldn't throw in the towel on LG quite yet. However the way LG reacts to this will speak volumes to the company's overall success in the industry.

what would happen if I tried returning my phone with root and another rom on it and it won't turn on?
I tried manually going to twrp but went to recovery instead, restarted phone and now it won't turn on. I've tried the suggestions in this thread to no avail.
Won't turn on
My LG G3 D855 first had this problem of restarting on its own when I play with its camera and while restarting, the phone is getting warmer. And now, it wont turn on. I press the power button while it is off, it tried to turn on until the LG logo screen and then it shuts down on its own and restarting non-stop until that LG logo screen and turning off again. When I plugged in a charger, it manages to turn on but only to the pass code part and then it turns off again and the battery charging screen when phone is turn off, is displayed. The battery showed was higher than the battery showed when during the pass code stage. Is it the battery problem? I haven't send the phone to be check yet, I hope its the battery..
Clearing phone
My won't turn on either. I filed an insurance claim and am getting a new one. But I have to send my old phone in. I was wondering how I can get all my info off of the old phone before I turn it in. I don't want some one to get my info that is on that phone. How do I clear it all with it not turning on. Is there a hard drive from the phone I can remove?
yes for i have solution if u want to turn on your phone ...
First put phone on charging and then turn it on after 10sec (dont remove from chargning ) when its completelty on ... then remove from charger ...

The plan: Put the phone into recovery and then push " power on".
The method: To get into recovery, push power and volume down together until you see "system recovery" ( it will take a while- maybe more than a minute) and touch "continue power up" by depressing the power key.

h! i have rooted my G3 and insatll TWRP it works .. but when i press volume down+power button it wont boot to recovery. ? i can easilt boot to recovery using ADB .. but how can i boot to recvery using power and voulme keys ..
http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root-tutorials/how-to-manually-boot-into-cwmtwrp-recovery-on-lg-g3/ Said better than I can. Be sure that you are firmly pressing both on the power and volume down keys, at the same time, don't give up- To be sure I have constant pressure, I take off the case. I do this each time I restart the phone.
Oh awesome. I was browsing the web having the same problem and this totally fixed it for me. Cheers!

Help, my tab won't turn on or charging

Hi guys,
This morning I powered on my tab, then, after reading some news, I closed the cover lid and when I came back after some minutes my tab won't turn on or charging. Battery is full (charged over night).
I tried power + vol + home: nothing.
My tab: 8.4 lte rooted with Odin, Samsung v2 Rom
What a strange coincidence! Mine too!
My Tab S 8.4 LTE turned off after a complete descharge. I've attached it to charger, without turning it on, and charge beguns.
After a couple of hours I've checked the tab but I've found it completely turned off, no charging animation on power button. I've tried to turn it on but without success.
I've a SuperSamsung V2 ROM also.
What's the f..k????
---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------
Thanks God, I've resolved with this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/to-event-soft-brick-disaster-t2838473
1) connect the tab to PC;
2) press Home, Vol Down and Power simultaneously up to a screen appears;
3) press Vol Down to cancel and reboot the tablet.
Now the tablet has rebooted and it works fine!
When I'll be at home I'll try...hope it will work for me also...have you some random reboots while in standby in the past days?
No chance for me...
My Tab S 10.5 Wifi running on stock rom is at reparation center because of the same problem...
Well...After two days...I think the problem is something wrong in battery. My tab was fully charged when this issue happens for the first time. After leaving it alone on the desktop for a day, this morning I connected the tab to my PC for around 30 minutes and the charging battery appears on the screen. I charged for 20 minutes and after I let the tablet discharging. This evening battery was 8% and my tab went to black unresponsive screen. Now I'll try charging to full and after clearing battery stats to see if something change. ..
@kraoc please let me know reparation center diagnosis
Mine has repeated this behaviour several times in the last few days, I've always solved with the procedure in the post #2, but now it keeps irritating. @kraok please let us know diagnosis. @davidebeatrice I don't think so since it has just happened to me while using the tablet with 70% battery.
I was 99% when it happens for the first time...now my tab seems T9 work fine. Let's see when battery will be down down down...?
After two charging-discharging process and finger crossing, I can say that clearing battery stats worked for me.
Hello, I've a similar problem. My rooted Tab S with TWRP doesn't boot anymore, it's stuck at the Samsung logo. However I can get into download mode or shut it down and the loading animation shows. Probably caused by some root stuff I installed because it worked fine before. Any way to fix it via Odin or some other ideas?
Thanks!

If you have access to download... just flash stock rom...
I've had a similar problem:
Screen shows a discharged battery and I can't do anything to it.
No button combination works, plugged or unplugged.
After a while (days) it shut off. I couldn't turn it back on until plugging it, and then the same battery discharged display shows up.
I took it to a service center and they blamed the motherboard, but I had a custom ROM (a version a Cyanogen found here). No fun.
EDIT: FIXED!
I retrieved the tablet before they serviced it, and attempted to repair it myself again with the button combination.
I used the home + vol down + power combo, and then I pugged it in. It went to download mode, then I pressed vol down to restart the tablet.
Method similar to this (but without the need to restore my backup or flash anything):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/to-event-soft-brick-disaster-t2838473
Hope this helps someone else stuck in the same situation.
I had teh same thing happen to my 10" Tab S as well. Took it back to Spring and they immediately replaced it since I had only had it for 7 days tat that point.
Glad you had a new one... And I'm a bit jalous about your issue
Had it for 2 month... Got 2 reply from Samsung: "rooted and can't use warranty" !
But: Flashing your device does not void your statutory warranty - FSFE Legal - http://j.mp/ZIPbWC !!!
Samsung keep to refuse to apply warranty !!!
Hello everybody,
I've sad news from my side...
I've had this problem a few times and I've everytime resolved with the home+vol down+power combo and restarting.
After that I've found evidence on another thread here in XDA that it should be related with battery stats.
After resetting the stats, the problem stopped, up to yesterday night.
I was watching a video on YouTube where the battery goes 0% and the tablet shutdown itself.
So I've attached it to charger and the charge begun (tablet was off, battery charging appears on screen).
This morning I've detached it from charger without checking if it was 100% charged but when I've tried to power it up, I don't get any reaction from the tablet.
The key combo doesn't function anymore. Attach to PC via USB doesn't make it to get recognized. No way out.
Completely dead.
Have you some suggestion/trick I can try before I'll launch it through the window???
Thanks
Antonio

But how can I reach the battery? Has anyone instructions for that?
However I don't think that this is my case. As I've said before, yesterday I've attached the tablet to the charger and it begun to charge.
But I can try your tip, if only I'll found a way to open the tablet.
Thanks!!!
Google how to fix the screen or something of the like..... ifixit usually has a tutorial and the first couple steps will.be removing the batter

Thanks again for your response, blap017
I have good news, however.
Today I've reattached the tablet to the charger and it gets charging.
I've leaved it up to full charge, then I've turned it on and it now it functions well. Thanks God.
But I don't understand why this has happened. Perhaps the SuperSamsung v2 rom messed up battery stats...
Thxs everybody for the support, xda forums are ever a fantastic source of inspiration!!!

Moto Z Play won´t turn on, blinking white led

So after flashing a new 7.0 rom on the phone, I updated it via OTA. When it finished, instead of rebooting the phone, it led to a black screen. I have tried turning it on and opening bootloader/recovery but nothing has worked so far. When I charge the phone the white LED above the screen starts blinking and if I plug the phone to my pc and keep pressing the power button, it connects/disconnects from the PC every 20 seconds, so I know the phone is not completely dead. I don´t know what to do anymore, please help.
Its a hard brick you many of us have done it and for now there is no solution. If you check the other threads someone has claimed they figured out a way to boot in to bootloader to revive the phone I think the website is aryktech or something similar but haven't seen verification. Other than that its a paperweight.

I had that problem on a OnePlus 3t. The battery was so low it would constantly try to boot when you plug it in. I put it on a turbo charger and left it. Eventually the battery got enough where I could get into recovery and boot.

LG G710N Won't Turn On(black screen), unless battery is completely died

Hi Guys, hope you are well.
Recently I just brought a LG G710N with 6g+128g.
It was stuck in the boot loop with LG logo, after the battery completely drained. It boots to the system.
Yes I can go to download mode or recovery, so I tried to install the newest g710n KDZ with LG UP.
It did work, but if I charged the phone with all charger or wireless charger. The phone will go completely black screen once it passed 30% battery. btw once it's blacked, every single button does not work, no matter reboot or download mode, it does not show up, only thing i get is completely black.
Until the battery is drained again, the 0% logo will disappear and then I can charge it. But once it pass 30% the phone will go black screen again.
So right now, Im not sure if its the software problem or some hardware issues.
If it's hardware issues, during the using time (when battery was around 20%) the phone was fine and can open every apps.
If it's software issues, how can i solve this weird problem.
Thanks
Regards.
Press vol-and power Button together unitll it's starts it may take take some time keep pressing both
