Everything perfect

I have LG G4 s/n 609 and it works really well. Got it 3 weeks ago. In hot summer days it seems to overheat abit. like 75 to 85 degrees celsius max ( temperatures taken from CPU-Z app).

Otherwise all cool and smooth
[G4 General] raptorddd:
Thers no 609... that would mean we are in september or october.. 2016.. could be a 607-606-605.
[G4 General] xX_CHILLAX_Xx:
whoops my bad. Its 603 :P

Sorry
[G4 General] nahsha:
So far so good, mine is 506
[G4 General] Abdl:
So coming from a samsung Note 4,s6,s7...im thinking of trying the lg g4 mainly due to the removable back+good camera,but all these bootloop thingy is scaring me away,however i still cant get my mind off it. Is it worth the risk? Should i go ahead and order?
[G4 General] raptorddd:
only if you can get warranty on it , and try getting newer manufacturer date then you maybe one avoid getting anything below 2016. and still theres a possiblity. but be aware that buying international would require you to send phone to that country.. also not all can be unlocked.... tp flash roms
[G4 General] Abdl:
Ok so i contacted the seller and he said the serial number starts with 507. What are my chances?
[G4 General] raptorddd:
even on any number chances arent that good but. pass on it and look for one qith 601 onwards..
[G4 General] Franzferdinan51:
My serial number begins with 508? Idk what the difference is lol but no problems here
[G4 General] raptorddd:
it means it was manufacture on august 2015... but it takes time to get hit by the bootloop issue.. around 8-9 months to show up.. most cases.
[G4 General] Franzferdinan51:
Damn lol I thought I was exempt
[G4 General] raptorddd:
you could be, but am afraid the possibilities are very high.. lets hope not. your case.
[G4 General] Franzferdinan51:
Thanks for the explanation hopefully it doesn't happen to me
[G4 General] raptorddd:
thing is theres 604 that already bootloop. those were made on april 2016 i think ive seen 2 . yeah :fingers-crossed:
[G4 General] Franzferdinan51:
Jeez you'd have thought they would have fixed it long before then o.o
[G4 General] Phlom:
H815, v20d, SN: 602, EU version - no problems yet
[G4 General] Abdl:
Lets do some maths here. If a serial number is 505k**** it means it was manufactured around May 2015 right? 507k*** in July 2015 and so on? So if lg only acknowledged the issue after January 2016,then chances are that most 2015 batches will come down with the issue yeah? Although the confusing thing is that you stated you saw some 604 with the issue...so im just gonna be very prayerful that my 507k thats about to be shipped doesn't come down with that problem.:fingers-crossed:
[G4 General] raptorddd:
yes . it seems like they noticed the issue and many people said that LG aknowledge the issue and fix it with the 510 october 2015.. right.. but even those are getting boot loops and newers too from 6xx. when i chat with LG they suggested to stay away from any phone below 6xx. but people reporting issues in this serials.. not alot but they have.. and thats becuase it takes time and usage to show up... like you said since they akcnowledge problem why it hasnt been fixed?? mines 601 but it has HW. 1.0 the supposed fix is HW 1.1 ive seen older phone with 1.1 hardware version. you can look it up in hidden menu when you enter code at dialer...

yes you can read the thread on Q&A stuck on bootloop.. read and youll see.

i hope mine too.
[G4 General] Abdl:
The reason why im going for the lg g4 is coz of the good deal i got. $280 brand new. If you know any good device within that range let me know,otherwise i guess i might just take the risk. What do you think?
[G4 General] raptorddd:
if you do.... try to get 6xx + phone... its up to you... i did, i knew this problem thats why i got me a 601. h811 that can be unlocked.. so its not bad.. as long as it has warranty you are okey.. and they tend to show up before warranty in the usa. its 15months.. i dont know othe phones. i like this cause of camera.. and cause i has G2.
[G4 General] coowkeee:
when i voted here, my 505 still is good, but got bootlooped before my warranty ends :D this is the first time ive been happy because of bootloop.. xD
[G4 General] heartagramm:
SN 511 with HW 1.1, so far so good. Had some touch screen issues out of the box after Titanium Backup restore but made LG Backup after that, reseted the phone back to factory settings and then restored the LG backup, has worked fine ever since.
[G4 General] coolmaster121:
Tmobile warranty ended, yesterday. Today I get the boot loop.

Yay for me. Im still making payments on the phone
[G4 General] raptorddd:
LG's are 15 months from manufacturing date .. call them...

your boottloader ???? locked or unlocked.?

if unlocked can you relock it.?
[G4 General] coolmaster121:
Bootloader unlocked

Called LG, they want me to send the phone (pay for shipping) then they will give me an estimate on how much they will charge for repair.

Still have $200 to play off on the tmobile payment plan
[G4 General] raptorddd:
are you out of warranty from LG too as well? did you mentioned about unlocked bootloader.?

are you going to relock it.? i would like someone to make a thread about relocking and sending a bootlooped G4.

that sucks man.. i think you should relock and make thread and video of it.. then try tmobile they know its a hardware defect.. ..

tell us you 3 first digits from serial number..
[G4 General] coolmaster121:
I do have the bootloader unlocked. I dont think its possible to relock the bootloader. the phone cannot be booted to download or fastboot mode holding power and vol down and connecting USB does not do anything

I have a 505 May/2015 manuf. date

The funny thing, I had this issue with my original phone, and it was replaced under warranty. SO this is the second time issue happening.

UPDATE:

I was able to Lock the bootloader.

1. I connected the phone to my PC

2. Powered on the Phone (it took a few tried of pulling the battery and powering on)

3. Check the box for OEM Unlock in Dev. Option

4. Use Minimal ADB and Fastboot and type in

- you should see the phone listed as one of the devices in the command line window

- phone should reboot and you shouold see 3 lines of text on top

- nothing will happen on the phone, but on in the commandline it should say that it is done

Phone reboots and the boot screen does not show the unlocked bootloader message anymore
[G4 General] raptorddd:
i see how did you manage to enter into oem unlock or to boot it.? you got pm..
[G4 General] Dethfull:
They say "old phone" for our xt9-xx

SO I made this topic/poll back in January

Now my g4 h815 died about an hour ago

Was able to restart with the big cores disabled as described here on XDA...but phone is not really very usable in this state

No more buying from LG for me....

Will probably get a oneplus 3

You can root and enable 3 more cores!it will become fast as it used to be(maybe a bit slower).

My girlfriend's 505 serial G4 died a few months ago.

Took about 20 days for LG to replace the mainboard. All good again now.
[G4 General] jinderation:
Did u recently got the bootloop on ur G4 out of warranty or LG giving any excuse not fixing ur device ...

We are working on a potential lawsuit against lg for making defective devices please share ur story with Girard n Gibbs LLP...PLEASE FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW

This just happened to me also both my wife's and mine dies in the same week. I still owe 225 for each phone. What a hip... Sad to say I cannot trust LG anymore since now the V10 is starting to have same issues.
[G4 General] coolmaster121:
Update to the story.

I called Tmobile like 3 times talking with different people. Finally got a person to make a out of warranty exception. They sent a replacement phone to a local tmobile store. I had to pay $5 for this service. But now I have a working G4. Yay Tmobile, or until this replacement bricks...
[G4 General] brossovitch:
I bricked my 604 performing an OTA rollback, which is the most unlikely thing ever. DON'T ROLLBACK YOUR G4!

T-Mobile gave me a refurbished 505. I'm scared now the device will bootloop. But it's been foxed already. I think I should've gotten the repair from LG instead of T-Mobile.

I have h811.
[G4 General] pvaldeben:
Good to hear that. I should have called few times. I ended up sending mine to LG and just today got a email they recived it. Then on my wife's phone tmobile said it still had warranty and sending a replacement but will pay $20 once I pick it up. Must be because her phone was replaced already.
[G4 General] brossovitch:
$20 for warranty, $5 if you've got premium protection.

Just got mine swapped. But since they gave me one with drop damage they're giving me another free of charge. TMO is outstanding with customer service BTW.

I can also see where the SOC overheated and warped the screen on this 505 model! LOL i hope I get another 60x model I moss my 604
[G4 General] Minto107:
Mine is 602 and so far works good. Slight overheating while playing NFS No limits but it's just slight heat, my old s3 was more overheating while accessing settings [emoji14]

Heat is normal. I feel as long as my device stays under 52°C it should be fine.

I'm getting another warranty device since this 505 they replaced my 604 with has obvious drop damage and the screen is wavy where the SOC obviously overheated before ot was supposedly fixed..
[G4 General] Nitro1max1:
So I just bought a used lg g4, works great. But is there any way to check if the phone was already repaired for the bootloop issue? And what serial numbers were affected? Its a H810 AT&T version.

Serial numbers 500 to 510

I want to buy one but the guy doesnt have the box to check serial number and hardware versión.

I want to check if serial number is 600 and hardware version is 1.1

removing battery would show back sticker on the back...

It means it will die, check under battery on the sticker. It'll be called hardware revision or so. If it's 1.2 ur safe if anything below bootloop is coming

[G4 General] WTF?:
There is a great app on Google Play called LG Phone Info - screen shots look like it is in Vietnamese or something, but it is actually in English and is great for finding your motherboard's serial and also great for finding the country code of your phone (listed as "Provider") - the country code will tell you if the phone can be bootloader unlocked (if it is an H815) as shown in this famous post of mine from last December.

An alternative and equivalent app to LG Phone Info is LG Phone From

Speaking of bootloader unlockable LG G4 which are quite hard to find in USA, and work great on AT&T, this ebay seller in UK has 10 unlockable bootloader H815 phones, brand new in sealed LG box, Euro country code ROM (Romania)! - at a very low price of around US$345 shipped, I just ordered one for my GF, as bootloader unlockable ones you cannot find at this price, if you can find them at all. - I expect these will go quickly once word gets around.

Bootloader unlocked has another side benefit from the normal advantages like no advertising with AdAway, rooting in MM, etc. - it also allows you to delete any bloatware or problem files from your phone, and allows you to optimize the phone and get it running crazy cool temps, then you have very long battery life, and best of all, NO BOOTLOOPS - I have been using a "505" H815 model for 16 months this way, and it will never bootloop, it runs so cool you would think it is not even powered on!
[G4 General] lart2150:

All my 505s died, all 3 of them! First one the front glass wasn't bonded right so it fell off. Second one earpiece speaker failure, third one bootloop. 4th one, which is a 602 we'll see...

[G4 General] Minto107:
Yeah I saw your post about unlockable G4s, as far as I remember mine(H815, country code GBR) is unlockable which is good as who knows, I might be interested in unlocking it in a year or so ;)

[G4 General] Asia Dual Sim User:
Definition of insanity

G4 - H818N (asia dual sim variant) currently on sn 604

Originally bought in Nov 2015. Three services, all under warranty.

1) Unresponsive touchscreen, received a brand new replacement in Dec 2015

2) Bootloop- jan 2015

3) Fried Motherboard - jun 2016 - only replaced the motherboard

Eventhough i now have a franken-phone and have wasted countless hours going to the LG service centre, i still have to admit i like it. After receiving the v20f update last week, the battery life has never been better and the overheating issues seem to have disappeared.

Am i nuts to even be considering the LG V20?

[G4 General] heartagramm:
Mine is H815 single sim. Disabled all except 1 core and taking backups all day, will unroot and enable all cores and ship the phone in to service. Then I'll maybe keep using it until I find a good offer on a non-LG phone. I have mostly enjoyed my 9 months with the G4, but still no other phone has had as bad issues as this. I think it was my first and last LG, too bad but what could one expect. These cost a lot of money and one could expect better durability, and at least good and fast response from the manufacturer, I have received none of those so far.

With LG support tools, it shows on the left H818p, and on right sofware version H818N10e. Is it the original problem?

Verizon model 505, purchased launch day. Bootlooped last week and replaced with unit having serial 506. I presume replacement is refurb device. Hope the replacement lasts.
[G4 General] ObiDanKenobi:
This policy of getting a refurbished phone, is way worse than having the motherboard changed. In my view the 506 has more chances of bootlooping than the 60x motherboards. My opinion is based on statistics of the reports.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
Yea I had a 505 that lasted a year then replaced with a 506 that lasted a month and they've sent me a 511. Gave it to my wife to try out yesterday. Might trade in before it dies depending what she likes. I need something reliable as it's my work phone. I think I'm going for a 6p, pixel or 5x that's not from Verizon as I'm tired of the bloat, year long update delays and locked bl crap as well. In fact, I'd take an iPhone before another Verizon phone. At least it's bloat free and reliable although locked down. That's how disgusted I am. Although the reps at Verizon have been very helpful and friendly, Verizon isn't responding fast enough to market demand. They aren't leading, they are chasing, of all carriers, T-Mobile with data plans that don't run out.
[G4 General] heartagramm:
They changed the motherboard of my old 511 to a 610. I already bought a OP3 to replace my old G4. Now, as it came back and it again flies (all cores enabled again) I'm kinda confused because I really liked the G4, and the performance in both of these phones is great. I shipped the phone via mail to the service on tuesday and they shipped it back repaired in thursday, I received the phone back in friday. Quite fast servicing, even though the procedure is really simple and takes only few minutes to swap the mainboard. :P Usually they bounce the phone around for a couple of weeks at the service doing nothing to the phones.

Any info on bootlooping 609...610's?
[G4 General] htcnext:
It is interesting after thinking about it how many things you give up switching away from the G4. Pixel has no sd card slot. HTC 10 has smaller screen. Oneplus 3 lower resolution screen and probably worse camera. G4 is a great phone even today if you are lucky enough to avoid bootloop.

I have a Verizon VS986. It starts with S/N 512, and it was replaced under warranty several months ago after my 505 got hit by the bootloop.

It was working fine for months, until the first time I did a video livestreaming over cell network; then the phone overheated and shut down. A week later, BAM! Bootloop. No drops, no damage, nothing else suspicious. Obviously the overheat was the ultimate cause and it took a week to "kick in."
