cphoneunlocker . com popped up on a search as I was looking to unlock my S5

It's pretty new and I can't really find any info anywhere about it.

It *claims* "The only free Android Phone Unlocker on the web. We support phone freedom which is why our unlocking service will always be free. Enjoy it!"

I figured other people might be looking around for some info as well, so if you tried it or if you think that it's safe/legit, post here about it.

My guess is that it's probably B.S. (things that are too good to be true and all...)
[General Questions and Answers] dsacj:
wanted to know the very same thing but it seems like not alot is known about it
[General Questions and Answers] onetimethrowaway:
It's a scam. You have to complete "offers to prove you're not a robot" At which point they ask for all of your personal information and demand you complete other offers. Even after completing every possible "free" offer in the never ending trail of offers, the bottom of the cphoneunlocker.com web page will sit on a notification that reads "Go back and try a different offer." and below that "Waiting for offer completion.."
[General Questions and Answers] Trafalgar Square:
This site is completly scam.

They only want to earn money. You can see this at the following points:

Fake Google verification logo. I reported it to the Google abuse center now.

Offer.

Site is a big fail and I hope it will be deleted from the Google Index.

Have you unlocked your S5 yet ? If yes then how please help me.
[General Questions and Answers] Lem0ns:
Sorry for the late response.

I paid to unlock it with mobileincanada.com

I think it was $25 which is cheaper than my phone company who wanted $75

I've used that website for 4-5 different phones and they are good and relatively fast. I even had a problem once and they immediately refunded me so I can vouch for them.

I haven't found a free way to unlock the s5, but I stopped looking after paying.

Hello, good news!

LG finally admits the problem. Then it will be easier for us to have our devices repaired/replaced! :highfive:

Some of you already shared links on several topics related to bootloop, I think it's better to create a new topic about it, as I wrote an article too for french customers :D

English: http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-admits-g4-bootloop-problem-hardware-fault-669603/ (official statement)

French: http://www.gamergen.com/actualites/...engage-remplacer-unites-defectueuses-269974-1

EDIT2: Ok guys, I *finally* got my G4 back.

LG PROJECT P1 (H815 - LG G4)

IMEI changed

S/N 505x => 602x

Repair: SWAP motherboard, software update (20D)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan268:
But would we all be subjected to the warranty? Otherwise it's not different from before.

At this point it seems like they just realized what the problem is after wrongly sending back a few units as 'repaired' even though it's still having issues.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
"Customers who purchased their G4 devices from non-carrier retailers should contact an LG Service Center with the understanding that warranty conditions will differ. "

If you purchased your G4 from a third party website/eBay, it's more difficult to get your warranty recognized.. best is buying it via carrier, LG official store and recognized sellers.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
Are they also going to apply the fix during the production of newer LG G4s? because if not, it sounds like all lg g4 will experience the bootloop sooner or later and will only repair it after it has happened
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
Yes, no detailed information about it, but it seems that they already changed the production process weeks ago and they're just late to communicate on the identification of this breakdown.

I just bought the g4 and sadly discovered that my S/N started with 505. Thanks god i did not unlock the bootloader. But I really want to unlock it to install custom rom. I'm thinking of sending my device to LG even if i didn't have the bootloop yet so i'll be sure not to get it after unlocking the bootloader and then having LG not repairing my phone. What do you think ?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
Just use it and stop worrying, your device may not be broken as ours.. and no, you can't leave it to repair if it doesn't have the bootloop thing.

I feel you, bro. I went through all pages of your topic. It's a worldwide issue and it's a shame LG is so late to admit this problem. Well, finally you're right, our posts, our thoughts.. all paid off. Thanks mate.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartsyn333:
Good to see this thread. My phone just died this night and since then is constantly hanging at boot screen. No access to recovery and download mode, no recognition by the computer (only a few seconds, then it restarts and gets disconnected) so no kdz flash via flash tool either. Just sent out a repair request to LG. Now fingers crossed it falls under warranty as I unlocked the bootloader. I purchased it in June and this is clearly of one of the first produced series which has the hardware defect, s/n starts with 505.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
Don't worry, LG must repair this harware issue, no matter if BL is unlocked or not.

If you want to wipe or recover your data, try the freezer method. It works.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan268:
A lot of these 'people' don't really care or look into things until it happens to them.

Then all of a sudden there up in arms being your friend about the issue. It really only took a two second google search to see how widespread this is. On reddit there's a constant stream of bootloop posts if that's not enough proof.

Now? It's just crickets from the ones who were so keen on shooting this off as a small 'problem'. foh

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
Yo don't complain as your phone is working great, just enjoy it and keep in mind to backup your data to microSD/computer. There's a small percentage that it will brake one day.

I remember mine overheated few times, and it may have broke a hardware component.

If there's nothing to report on your device, then you don't have to worry.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerF81:
Well, I have a wifi issue, it connects to wifi but when I want to open the wifi menu it always says, the proram wifi has been stopped. No big problem, I admit, but...I could send my phone to LG under this pretense and could tell LG to look after the bootloop issue by the way? :D :cool:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
Then give details about your conf. BL unlocked, root, Xposed? Stock/custom ROM? Custom recovery?

Usually all problems are gone if you full wipe/reset.. you persist but I say a simple FC of Wi-Fi settings is not enough to send it for reparation. :rolleyes:

I really don't like when people whine for a minor bug while other people's devices are deadly dead.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaorxan:
bel57, you said that 'its no matter if you unlocked ur BL or not, they will repair'. Just contacted with lg service and they said that unlocking bootloader void warranty even if u have problem with motherboard or something inside of phone. I have already unlocked my bootloader and my serial number also starts with 505 :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
Damn. Well, depends if they want to mess with users or not. I left my phone for repair at the carrier shop, and then it's send to a repair center. So.. I don't know if LG is in or not. We'll see.

It's same as having an illegal Windows copy/modified hardware on your PC under warranty and send it for reparation.

Besides, the phone is not hardbricked or something like that. It broke because of the faulty motherboard.

P.S. furthermore, European Union stipulate under directive 1999/44/CE that it allows users to modify the software, root included. This modification *DOES NOT* void minimum warranty of 2 years on hardware supported by the manufacturer.

Voided warranty by "illegal" software modification has been classed as an unfair term and it's fought by U.E.

What else? :cool:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaorxan:
My english not good enaugh. But you mean that if this bootloop happen to me, they will repair my phone for free? I have bought it from third part shop and i have 1 year warranty.(also unlocked bootloader)

OK. I've just read this directive, it doesn't sat anything about rooted or modified devices. I may have misread it as I'm awake after only five and half hours, but I couldn't see anything.

I'm going to email my local trading standard office today and see what they say.

I have two g4s. Both rooted, my partner has one. Very tempted to return the Sims and phones and refuse the contract.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
I'm afraid it's more complex giving the third party market is not officially recognized.

In which country do you live? Which G4 variants? Hope you didn't bought it from asian region but from yours.

If you have the invoice, it should end well.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattnin:
I'm reading that this issue affects s/n from 505-508. Anything 509 built in September and newer is safe? I bought my G4 in December from T-Mobile after using Apple for years and I love it.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartsyn333:
What is your time experience with sending your phone to get it fixed? How long did it take until it came back? Did you get any information that it arrived or such? I sent in my phone last Thursday and didn't hear anything since then. I noticed a day later that I forgot to add a copy of the bill, shouldn't they contact me that they need it?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
Well, they would have contacted you if needed, indeed. So, it means they've found your invoice?

My G4 is still being repaired, it has been one week tho. The salesman told me to wait 10-15 working days.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartsyn333:
So you think they found out that the IMEI is registrated on me through my carrier? I'm just confused I haven't been contacted. I sent the repair request directly on the LG website and got an email with a post sticker for the shipment. Gave it to the post office on Thursday morning and since then I heard nothing, not even that they received it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:
Well some data related to phone, network and IMEI are both gathered by carrier and manufacturer and they surely did the link betweek your phone IMEI+ S/N and the sale reference.. so technically they should know it's you, even more if you registered your device on the LG website. You should give them a shout about the status of your request and ask where's your phone now.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartsyn333:
Just called them and it's on its way back, should arrive within the next few hours! They told me it got repaired and all is fine. Owner check went through IMEI so no problem with forgetting to add the invoice, too. And no problem with unlocked bootloader and root either! I'm a happy girl now. :) I will come back here when it arrived and tell if they just repaired it or if I got a new device.

In Germany LG refuses repair under warranty on bootloader unlocked devices in some reported cases. Said devices clearly suffer the Bootloop issue according to descriptions of users. It seems LG tries to screw us. I'm f*ckin' pissed, too, as I've never seen a statement this vague. I'm yet to be affected, but on Android-Hilfe we already have someone preparing legal action to get an error resolved LG clearly admits to have caused it. This major train-wreck evolves into a major catastrophe.

I'm off to make a Scumbag Steve meme about LG and post it on reddit.

I have the boot loop issue two twice the last two days.

Actually i noticed that when i try to remove the flight mode from my G4, the phone shuts down and goes to an infinite bootloop. I cannot go to safe mode, but i can factory reset. I did a Fac.Reset yesterday and today morning happened exactly the same.

So is this supposed to be a hardware problem or software?

I installed the V20D through LG bridge 6 days ago and i have a concern that this might be software issue...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
No, you need to read again. I said:

The fact that it worked out for you doesn't mean anything for others apparantly, since LG's response to warranty claims is very inconsistent.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartsyn333:
He should recite the European law mentioned before then. And also point out the official admit of LG. I don't know why this shouldn't work except this guys you talk about have their device from third party sellers, which are not fully covered as stated by LG. That would be another case than mine because I have my phone bought from my carrier. But that was not content of your statement, it's an important point though.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
Except the EU guidlines do not cover Unlocked Bootloaders. Only Root and Custom Firmwares. That's why they were even implemented in Europe in the first place. Up until that settlement, warranty terms, even from your retailer, could include that rooting and flashing custom firmwares will void your warranty.

Told this before and still waiting for someone to correct me :confused:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartsyn333:
The statement of LG clearly says that repair will be covered under full warranty. So it doesn't matter if bootloader is unlocked or not. Mine was. Also the European law clearly says that hardware defects must be repaired because the customer has the right to do to his phone whatever he likes. A hardware defect that was not caused by modification has to be covered nevertheless. LG can state whatever they want regarding void warranty if bootloader is unlocked. They can't go against European law. Even if you accept their terms before unlocking that's worth nothing for LG. Law always is above selfmade restrictions.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cozmos23:
Thats not how it works.

Expectation vs. Reality

But regardless of this it would be a shame if someone bricks their phone and is trying to get it covered by warranty.

But a customer trying to lie to save some $?

Impossible I would say.[emoji14]
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
You're missing my point. The EU regulations do not cover devices with unlocked bootloaders, so LG put a clause in their warranty terms and conditions that unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty, thus you have no legal ground within EU law. I'm talking about Garantie. NOT Gewährleistung, which is a whole different story.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartsyn333:
You can forward my experience if you like. LG can't repair one device but not the other. Maybe this will help.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
Aww, thank You. so much! I certainly will if I encounter this bootloop issue. I appreciate it :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bel57:

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartsyn333:
I greatly hope you won't need it but if you do just contact me. I have all documents and could forward them to you as well. Fingers crossed your phone will be fine!

UPDATE:

LG's Customer service are total d*cks. They told me they don't care who caused it, even after including their own statement on Android Authority (highly doubt they read it). Been told that If you've unlocked the bootloader we won't cover the repair under (OEM) warranty no matter what. I don't know what I expected. One last thing to do is to get an answer from my retailer.

I'm not yet affected. But I have a magic hand, capable of getting only and only devices from bad batches. I just want to have certainty if I end up with this issue.
