ATT rep said my recent warranty claim was the 1st one made?

Certainly that can't be right.
Nevertheless, I have to say my experience getting my bricked phone (my fault entirely) replaced throught the ATT warranty dept went very well.
They even included overnight shipping, didn't require me to ship mine back 1st and included a return shipping label for my crapped out phone. I made the claim Friday and received my new phone Monday 11 am.
Well done ATT.

Congratulations!
What can you advise me to do with my bricked phone? I bought my phone from eBay and I live in Israel. I think that will not be able to replace my phone for a new one. Only if I'll send it directly to LG. But will there be something to do?

Maybe LG but ATT won't do anything for you unless your a customer. And usually warrenty is not outside of the country you got it from.

I think this particular ATT Rep was smoking salmon...I have returned 2 already due to warranty stuff and will probably be selling the next replacement I get...the rep at my local store wasn't overly enthused with the phone and said that was the consensus.
On a lighter note they were very helpful with getting this taken care of and doing so very quickly...

I don't have AT&T so despite living in the USA, I sent my phone directly to LG. (I use an AT&T MVNO, so I don't get support from AT&T) LG repaired it free of charge and mailed it back. So I guess LG does something right.

what's been the issue(s) with your phones?
Generally, I tend to find local store rep's opinions to be, well, less than they should be. After using this phone for 2+ months I'm unsure why a local store rep would not communicate the benefits of this device as opposed to their lack of enthusiasm for it.

I don't think the phone is so bad...I think there are lots of great things about it. I love the screen, it has the potential to be so quick and snappy and really could be an all around awesome phone...I just realized the fact that updates were going to be a little slower towards this phone and it seemed like making any slight mod (firmware/rom wise) would work but had a much higher failure rate than I think anyone was looking for-hence my looking to move on...
The specific issues with my phone were a short or something that just hard bricked the phone without warning and without any mods...at all. It just turned off one day and nothing could ever, every be done to get it back on. Strange.... the second phone has never been quite right after installing a rom and the boot loops and not being able to reboot was kind of a turn off. Plus the speaker in the earpiece has been a bit wonky so I decided to do a warranty return and then move on from there.
And you're right...some of the reps seem to be way off from what's realistic...you can tell they definitely play favorites and seem to be very partial and unsupportive. But at least they were helpful!

I called LG Customer Service and told them the device wouldn't power up. (I had done a battery pull and it totally hardware bricked the device.) They had me send it to Stellar Wireless with the Repair Authorization # they gave me. I got it back within 7 business days.

Exchanging in a store during your 30 day buyers remorse period is different than exchanging through warranty. You might have exchanged it several times in store, but to AT&T's warranty department, this is the first time. They keep track of how many warranty claims you make, once you get to a certain point they usually allow you to try something different.
As for AT&T store reps, many of them base their opinions on phones on popularity, return rate, etc. The Nitro/Optimus LTE is an awesome phone, but it isn't very popular saleswise.

One problem - I live in Israel, and in my country this device is officially not for sale. So I do not know how and where to call and send the device. I have no idea what to do.

AT&T reps were trained to lie to customers. I had to turn in my SGS2 twice for exchange, and both times I was told I was the first to exchange the SGS2.

Cost of out-of-warranty motherboard replacement in the UK?

Does anyone here know how much it costs in the UK to get the motherboard replaced out-of-warranty (to fix the bootloop issue)?
Also, if the phone is a TWN model H815, is there any chance that a new motherboard fitted in the UK will allow me to unlock the bootloader?

I don't know how much but probably too much
I think its cheaper to buy a used one on ebay

You should had searched the internet before buying the g4 make it habit next time when buying any phone dont buy it at the launch wait aleast 6 months forbthe bugs to appear n if its problematic dont buy it without warranty

Er...I bought this 7 months after it was released, at a time when there were no more reports of hardware problems than there had been for other high-end phones. The reason it's not covered by local warranty is that it's not a UK model. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Smart-ass comments not so much.
Anyway does anyone actually have an answer to the question that I originally asked?

You might have old stock. What's the first 4 digits of the serial number?
I would agree with cosmos23, try and get a phone on eBay with a cracked screen because it'll be much much cheaper when you just put your screen on the eBay device or just put the eBay device motherboard into your phone. This depends on which is in better condition or easier to do.
You'll have to get a H815 EU for easy bootloader unlocking. Try and make sure the serial number is 60x.

Try calling LG Resolution Centre 01332527386 tomorrow and tell them that you would need to have motherboard replaced and ask them how much would it cost if it was out of warranty repair. They might divert you to Taiwanese support centre since this is not even EU device.
Alternatively try 01233 619320 which is the actual repair centre (for LG and looks like many other companies) as that is where they send the phones for repair:
SBE Ltd
Beaver Business Park
Ashford, Kent
TN23 7SH
Though in general 2 things to keep in mind: LG haven't been able to get motherboards for over a month now and the service of this company might be one of the worst in the UK so make a decision wisely. Be prepared that it is going to cost time and money (a lot of both). Don't worry about bootloader now as that will be the least of your concerns once you get with any of those people in touch. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

The serial number is 505K*, so I was doomed from the start I guess. Many thanks for the suggestion - that makes alot of sense. I'm struggling to decide on what to do next. Buying a used G4 would cost around £180 and that too may start bootlooping within a month of me buying it (I'm not sure whether even the 6* serial motherboards will prove to be reliable in the long run). I thought about buying a G5, but the USB-C adapter would be a pain in the neck as I have a ton of chargers and cables in various locations which would all require adapters. Plus the G5 doesn't have the multi-window feature, which I use alot in the car. Plus the G5 would be another £100-150. Plus the G5 might develop the some sort of bootlooping issues as the G4 over time - it's still quite new to the market. Plus my G4 accessories would be redundant (LG spare battery kit and a battery/charging case).
A removable battery is a must, so my choices are limited. I've looked at the Galaxy Note 4 but the camera is nowhere near as good in low light, and flash photography is terrible on the Note 4. Decisions, decisions.....

Many thanks for that info. I did call the main LG support number (0344***) on Wednesday. They were too busy to deal with my query so promised me a call back in 24-48 hours. I'm still waiting. I'll certainly give those two other numbers a try though. I might also ask SBE how much they would charge to transplant a screen to a "good" host/motherboard.

I see your point. The cheapest option is to put your working screen on a cracked screen device. These will be bootloop free but may not be bootloader unlockable. I'd get an Axon 7 if buying a phone now. http://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw...313.TR0.TRC0.Xlg+g4+cracked&sqp=lg+g4+cracked

Did you call LG support? My phone is with LG (repair subcontractor). Repair under warranty. They got my phone on Aug. 11th and I was told it shows up in the system as motherboard replaced on 15/8, but I am still to receive it.
Called up LG yesterday, and was told they won't chase it up unless 14 working days pass since they received it.

No I'm not. Got a reply from the contractor, it is BS btw. So as long as I don't even know, I can't even find my rights or what's LG's repair policy, they will just lie and equivocate. Oh and considering what other ppl are telling about call backs etc.
So first I need to find out officially how long does it takes to repair. Or have to be repaired.
Answer from SBE.
Unfortunately we are experiencing technical issues* and this has caused a build up in processing handsets for repair. Please be reassured we are working to resolve this issue.

My phone was delivered back to me from warranty repair exactly on the 14th working day since they received it. Seems OK so far.
I have also received a reply to a Support Request regarding this via the Support Form on their website... they took a month to reply... something along the liens of: Sorry we're so late replying, if you still need help with this please contact us...
Says all about their respect for their customers...

The cost is £110 from the LG repair centre place..... never buying anything with LG on it again or anything made by them both my LGg2 and G4 died doing nothing special not even playing games....

sbe are shocking if you call lg they have there own repair centre too use that

Keep or Replace Refurb LG G4? Original G4 bootlooped last week

Verizon LG G4 purchased right after release in 2015. Bootlooped last Monday 10/10, replacement arrived Saturday through Verizon's service center in Texas. Serial number on replacement starts with 506, which I believe means assembled June 2015. I presume it was refurbished due to motherboard failure associated with bootloop.
I don't have a landline and the lack of a smartphone last week was damaging to my business and personal life. I need to know if the replacement G4 models are reliable or not.
If I get rid of the G4 preferences are either HTC 10 or Google Pixel. Would wait for reviews if the Pixel. Verizon currently offers $300 credit if I trade the G4 in for either of these.

Can't say. There are people who've had problems with refurbs just months after. A better option is if they replace the motherboard with new instead of refurb. serial would start with 6 in that case.
Do you have the option to ask for that instead? ie send it back in again and have them put a new board in. More reliable than a refurb.
Anyone on a refurb want to post if their phone has been good for several months ?

I do not think Verizon would be willing to replace the unit again unless it fails. Since I purchased the unit at its release in June 2015, technically the warranty had expired when the bootloop happened last week. For US customers I believe the policy is for Verizon to replace devices due to the defect even beyond warranty period. Also, I asked and was told the warranty on the replacement device is 12 months. My latest idea is to play lots of demanding games like Riptide GP and Real Racing 3 to stress test it. Perhaps this will reveal if the hardware is faulty. If the replacement device bootloops I plan to ask Verizon for a different device.
Keeping a spare Android phone around is something I had not considered before. Too bad, wife switched to iPhone recently and we sold her old HTC one M8. I should have kept that one.

I'm in the same situation. Although mine hasn't bootlooped yet. It has randomly rebooted at least twice in the past three days since doing a software update where the phone got very hot. I just want it fixed or replaced before it starts bootlooping.
I'm considering calling Verizon and asking them if they can replace the phone with something else with no charge to me. I'm pretty sure that they can give me a refurbished G4. But there's no guarantee that it won't experience the same problem.
If I go through Lg, it could take up to a week and half and I really can't go that long without a phone. LG told me to go to my carrier and ask for a loaner phone while I send this one in to have the main board replaced.
I'm pretty confident that LG will fix it, but Verizon I'm not so sure about.
I also bought this phone on Swappa brand new. I also don't have any insurance on it. These two reason alone don't give me much hope that Verizon is going to help me. And also because I'm paying payments to them and it's not the original phone that I started the payments on.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

So an update.
I called Verizon and they ran diagnostics on my phone over the phone. They said my battery temp seemed slightly high. They gave me instructions on how to diagnose it further.
First they said to reboot into safe mode. Basically you hold down the power button, then long press power off. Then you get a pop up to boot into safe mode. This is so you can rule out any third party apps causing the issues. This limits you to use only the apps that came installed on it. I thought to myself, how in the world am I going to be able to use this phone enough to replicate it rebooting. Sure enough when I went to charge the phone, I opened up chrome to browse around all while listening to music and it rebooted by itself. So that rules out any apps causing it. So the next step is to take it into a Verizon location, not a retail store, and they can give me a warranty replacement. The reason they told me to try it in safe mode was if they replaced it and there wasn't anything wrong with the hardware, they would charge me. This way they can replace it for free.
The guy that I talked to was super helpful and understanding. It was the best service I've ever received from them. I was even behind in my payments, and he didn't even pressure me into making a payment.
I also asked if it would be possible to get my phone replaced with something different. He said if they replace my G4 twice, then they would more than likely be able to get me into a different phone. I told him I totally understood and that I wasn't just trying to get a new phone. I shared with him my apprehension in getting another G4 because it's likely to happen again.
So, once I'm able to make a payment to get my bill current, I'll be heading into a Verizon location and hopefully be walking out with a replacement G4.
And I was worried that they wouldn't even work with me because I didn't buy my phone from them or another big retailer.
Just thought I'd share my experience in case anyone is interested in knowing what the options are.

I can't speak for the replacement G4s but I will say that I sent mine (Verizon version) in to LG about 6 or 7 months ago and they did the motherboard swap (or however they fix the boot loop) and I've had no issues with it since. Getting it fixed was free as well since LG had fully acknowledged there was a hardware problem.

Mine bootlooped two days ago and I went to a Verizon store and they ordered a warranty replacement that I received the very next day. It's working great so far. The phone looks brand new. They just sent me the phone. No battery, back cover or charger. But it seems like performance is quicker and battery life seems to be better and more consistent.

Nexus 5x to LG (Fort Worth) Repair Turnaround Time

If you've shipped your LG Nexus 5x to LG (Fort Worth, TX) for repair, what was your turnaround time?
Was the repair covered under warranty? Or were you charged?
Did you get your original phone back or a replacement unit?
How was the quality of your repair / replacement?
Thank you,
Ed

I gotchu, fam
I got the bootloop issue that many people here have faced. LG said it was the eMMC and they replaced the flash memory. Got the original phone back (confirmed by the IMEI)
I sent in on either 9/30 or 10/3... I can't remember which one I'm sorry.
Date LG received 10/06/2016
LG shipped 10/13/2016, received my phone 10/19/2016
So overall, took about 2 1/2 weeks... They updated the website very slowly from diagnosing the issue, doing the repair, and sending out. Some people have said they didn't do updates about what was going on with their phone at all. While it took a long time, I did not have to pay anything and it was covered under warranty. Oh also they relocked the bootloader lol

I sent my LG G4 there. They received it 9/14. I got it back on 10/4. So it took almost 3 weeks. They said it would be in my hands 9 days after they received it. Lol.
Based on my experience with the G4 and what I've seen here in the 5X forum, I'll never buy another LG.
Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

They should have at-least used UPS air etc and not Fedex Ground

Thank you for your responses. My phone's been there since the 20th and from your responses, it looks like I should expect it back for at least another week.

Sent my 5x back to LG, they are replacing the board under warranty!

My 5x worked since I bought it on the original sale date, somehow it stopped working recently. So after hearing about the class action settlement and the warranty extension, I sent in my phone. Just got notification that they are replacing the board, and returning it to me. I'll follow up if I have other issues.
If you have a faulty 5x, send it back to get it fixed!

Hope
How long have you had it? We've had 3 in the family, all 3 croaked. The other 2 google replaced cause on project fi. My wife's died yesterday. It was bought new off an eBay seller couple years ago. Where did you buy yours? What # did you call also? Thanks

I just set up a warranty repair (USA) for a boot-looping Nexus 5X by calling LG at (800) 793-8896 (6am - midnight CST). I bought it from Google on 9/29/2015, which was the original release date, like the OP. They do ask for proof-of-purchase, so I'm not sure about second hand e-bay purchases. Since the warranty is extended past their normal 1 year, maybe it isn't as important to establish the date.

If I hadn't used my dead one's screen to repair my daughter's phone I'd have a nice working 5x. LG extended the warranty to 30 months on bootloop issues because they did not want to take hundreds or thousands of people to arbitration.
Now I have a k20 plus running nougat. Meh.
