As We Knw ... The LG V10 might have the same bootloop problem as the G4

However now we are hearing that Alot of the LG V10 users are suffering from the same issues with the bootloop as owners of the LG G4 suffered. Many owners of the handset went onto Twitter and Facebook to vent their frustration.

It is said that the only fix that has been effective to date is to put the handset into the freezer or put it in an oven with the oven on minimal heat. It seems that pulling the battery or doing a factory reset doesn’t help.

Unlike the LG G5 where owners only suffered from boot loops in the earlier batches, this time around it has been said that the problems with the V10 arrived ten months after the release of the device. The only good news is that the handsets are under warranty.

"Lately, many of us experienced bootlooping devices. LG had a similar problem with the G4 and it took months until the acknowledged the problem officially and offered uncomplicated repairs. Talking to LG they said it was not yet publicly released that there was a problem with the V10 too "

see on Reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv10/comments/4yao1s/v10_bootloop_please_report_in_this_sticky_thread/

so if u want sign this Petition : https://www.change.org/p/lg-electro...=des-lg-petitions_share-no_msg&fb_ref=Default

With all the reports of bootloop, it sure seems like more than 5 people would've signed the petition by now!
[LG V10 General] hypermedic:
mine too . hardware failure. sudden death. i tired putting it in the freezer for 24 hours like i read on one thread and it worked. but after few hours went back to its final death ;(
[LG V10 General] Barracuda81:
I'm curious If motherboard was exchanged after Boot Loop is the problem solved or should I be aware of repeating the problem in the near future
[LG V10 General] vrnsr:
Mine just died too after a year. Stuck on LG logo and won't boot.

H960AY model, MB replaced under warranty
[LG V10 General] evo4g63t:
Mine just died yesterday, two months out of warranty. I was a moderate (about twice a month) user of battery waster too (which will get a phone hot).

It happened seemingly out of nowhere too. I had it charging for about an hour unplugged it and launched Monster Legends and the screen went black. I had to unplug the battery to get it turned on and then it started looping. It wasn't even hot, it was warm but no where near what it has been in the past.

I put it in the freezer for 5 minutes and it worked briefly after so I figured it was the dreaded boot loop.

I went to tmobile and they gave me 200 credit (they were aware the phone was broke) and I was able to jump to the v20 for 100.

Seeing as the specs are nearly identical it wouldn't be too far out to say that this phone has enough similarities that the G4 problem jumped to the v10.

My manufacturer date was Nov 2015, LG didn't officially acknowledge the soldering issue of the G4 until Jan 2016 so hopefully those of you with a manufacturer date past Jan 2016 will be safe.

Only reason i picked the v20 is because of the capacity, low amount of junkware and removable battery. If it wasnt for that i would have gone back to Samsung, I might still do that when the note 8 comes out.

What really urks me is that the problem came out of left field without any warning so I wasn't able to backup if I needed to. Fortunately google backs up my media automatically so it wasnt a huge loss for me.
[LG V10 General] Dakotahorse:
So, I've had my V10 since it's release on AT&T. Just went into the death loop, same as my wife's G4, hers was replaced under warranty and got the V20. Mine however was not under insurance do to a military deployment and they never added it back. I got a S7 active, anyway. Still at almost 2 years old LG WILL replace the board inside and return it to working condition, just Google LG repair, leave the purchase date blank, it being a known defect they have to replace it regardless of age. You will loose root, because it will come back with 6.0+ on it.

Good luck to everyone I am not planning on owning another LG after this, back to Samsung for me.
[LG V10 General] Lazarus65:
Were you successful in getting your phone repaired, or is it currently being looked at? I just found the page to send mine in for repair, I just hope it isn't a total waste of time since this has been my favorite phone I have owned.
[LG V10 General] Dakotahorse:
I got it back in less than a week, they had it repaired and shipped back out teh same day it arrived lol
[LG V10 General] evo4g63t:
Interesting I've heard horror stories about people turning their phones in and then having problems getting status updates or having to wait a month (or longer) to get the phone back.

Of course at the same time people are more likely to complain about it than to compliment.

I was going to send my v10 in but I decided to turn it in to mobile broken and get 200 credit so it ended up costing 104 to update to the v20. I just couldn't afford to go without a phone for a week let alone a month.
[LG V10 General] brolaura:
To freeze or bake to revive from bootloop?

Hello everyone, i just received the bootloop of death on my v10 3 days ago & i am seeing where the home remedies worked for many people. I am going to stick a new, fully charged battery in my phone & then try one of these remedies. I need it to stay on long enough to back up my 2,500 photos... does anyone know if putting it in the freezer or oven makes it stay on longer than the other? & also how long did you freeze/bake your phones?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!!
[LG V10 General] evo4g63t:
If the faulty solder connection is really the reason why this happens I would imagine baking it could potentially actually fix the problem by melting the solder to make a solid connection.

A buddy at work fixed his playstation by setting a blow dryer to hot and putting it on the solder I am not sure where the loose connection is so I wouldn't know if this method would work without knowing where to aim it.

The freeze method works but it worked for about 5 minutes for me but I only put it in for 10 minutes so it might work longer if you put it in longer.

I would just be careful with the bake method and make sure you take out the battery! Also wouldn't put it up too high.
[LG V10 General] brolaura:
Thank you i am going to try putting my phone in a ziplock bag & placing it in the freezer. After 15minutes i will insert the battery & try to turn it on while it's plugged into my computer & if it works i'll leave it plugged in while in the freezer to do a backup. If not i plan on putting the motherboard pannel in the oven...
[LG V10 General] VeryBadRobot:
Will be my last LG

I got the bootloop of death late last month. After reading about baking and freezing stories, decided to no bother, stored most things on the SD card anyway. Changed all of my account passwords to be safe. Got it in November of 2015. Verizon was no help. Called LG, said they had extended the V10 warranty by three months from the build date, which means that I missed the cut off by three weeks. Fortunately I have a SquareTrade warranty, got it fixed in less than a week. Also had them replace the screen because of the screen burn/retention issue. Probably my last LG, there's no excuse.
[LG V10 General] DeeFolt:
I've just got mine back. after the warranty the phone just froze and and restarted and then it doesn't go anywhere after boot screen. I've sent it to the service center and it is out of warranty and they said it was the MainBoard that need to be changed and that thing cost a lot, luckily, there's this super cool lady from the Philippines and from that invoice after receiving the faulty device she' said that for you to save i will mention here it is still under warranty and "wallah" got the phone back mainboard replaced and paid nothing.
[LG V10 General] evo4g63t:
Since it seems to be heat related I wonder if qc2 is a contributing factor since qc2 cannot adjust power output instead the extra juice is dissipated as heat.

Both g4 and v10 have quick charge it's interesting these are the two phones affected by the issue the most.
[LG V10 General] neptun2:
It is not true that quick charge 2.0 does not have temperature control. It has such mechanism. I have seen the phone to reduce the charge rate for example during a hot summer day or if i use the phone while charging. Problem here i think can be solved by 2 different things.

1. Too much heat generated by the hot snapdragon 808 chipset (common component between G4 and V10).

2. Component on the motherboard that got screwed after some moths of usage.

It will be very useful if everybody having the problem shares the date of manufacturing of his phone and date when he bought it. It can be seen easily from the "LG phone from" program in google play. This way we can isolate if the problem appears only with certain (early?) batches or is consistent with late too. Mine is manufactured at the middle of january 2016 and i bougt the phone in march. So far i did not have any problem but as i see problems start to appear after 10 to 12 moths of usage so it may appear every moment.
[LG V10 General] Horse20102:
Does anybody suffer bootloop after he/she changed motherboard ?
[LG V10 General] skingg:
Yesterday I came across two LG V10s that had bootlooped. Both were H961N models and doing a quick check by using its IMEI, I found the manufacturing dates of both the phones being October and November of 2015 respectively.

Mine is also the H961N but produced in January of 2016. Fingers crossed.
[LG V10 General] Lazarus65:
I just got mine back today. Looking at the email they sent me about the phone it was a capacitor that failed. Before sending it in I put the phone near a fan with the back cover and battery removed and it booted up for a second before dying. I am also out of warranty by a year and they still took it in for free. Just leave the date blank. So the freezer method does work, but it has to be kept cool or it will shut off again.

it has a zipper so it's more "waterproof" then most armbands - i sometimes run when raining :)

Easier to put it in a coat that has zip up pockets
[Honor 8 Accessories] woook:
after a couple month of using this aliexpress armband i can tell i'm very satisfied, its comfortable and solid - its not waterproof but i ran in rain with no problems.

It's bigger that a phone ( it's supposed to be for 5,5" max so it has to be ) so it can be hard to use when you have thiner arms

I've currently got a pebble steel watch which I can use to locate my phone if I lose it, but only if it's within bluetooth range, which it never is when I lose it.

Can the Gear 2 connected to wifi be used to find it's associated phone if it's on the same wifi network?

Thanks

Yes, just tried it out for you by switching off Bluetooth on my phone and then used the Gear S2 Find my phone feature successfully, while the watch was connected remotely, ie via WiFi.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] t4188pm:
I have an 8525 running the official release of WM6. Ever since I upgraded I am having problems with my radio. This is the secenario:

I enter an area with no signal (the phone correctly shows the (!) symbol

I then go back to an area with strong signal the (!) symbol is still displayed. (even after several minutes).

If I cycle the phone icon in comm manager to restart the radio it starts working.

Why doesn't it go to the (....) mode to try to obtain a signal?

Is there a setting to control the algorithm for the radio retry sequense? I realize there are power / battery considerations but I would like to be able to control this.

Thanks to anyone that can help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
One quick option is to navigate to Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Band (tab) and make sure both items are set to "Auto".

Another option may be to flash a different radio. Radio quality can vary from location to location and I've found the best luck with 1.48.00. However, depending on where you're at, you may have a better go with a different radio.

Last option I'd recommend is hard-resetting or even reflashing your ROM. It may have been just a "kink" during install that would be worked out that way.

Try those in order and see what kind of results you get. Good luck! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] scousemartin:
Try flashing V1.54.07 radio and see if that improves the reception, a lot of people have raised concerns about the signal of their radio after flashing WM6, i personally have never had any problem since i used this radio.

Hi, I need some help with decrypting my device so I can s off it. Im new to rooting and am unsure whether the videos on the unlocked 10 will work for me, and even then S Off brings up what is in my linked image. Should I proceed? What is this partition thing? Please help.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jkhtx:
Upload your screenshot to imgur? www.imgur.com

I just used Sunshine to s-off mine. It was $25 for the license but it worked flawlessly and took no time. It was worth it to me just to remove all the Verizon apps, I haven't even touched any custom roms or kernels yet.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] pixelvisions:
I think the only way to decrypt your device is a full factory reset -- that's what Verizon claims, anyway. http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-204803/

I guess you need to S-OFF a Verizon variant before you can install TWRP? Not sure. Regardless, one way to do this is back up your system using TWRP, apply S-OFF via Sunshine, format data in TWRP, and then restore from your backup. Still, you might be able to backup with TWRP after S-OFF, then format data, then restore the backup.

If you're new to rooting, be extra careful with your phone after you S-OFF, because it becomes really easy to brick the device. I nearly ruined my HTC One M7 by applying the wrong firmware.

No. But if you unlock by this method you can get your warranty by flashing clean marshmallow or lollipop.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:

[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
If you successfully followed these steps then root will persist. Check your steps. I've done this in 3 phones successfully.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Yes, But before that I need to know some things.

1. Your phone can be powered on(meaningless but still want to know.)

2. Can you reach bootloader.? I.e. fastboot mode.

3. Or you cannot see any bootloader while pressing volume + and power, but your phone is only showing asus logo.
[ZenFone 2 General] shaza98:
Is there any way to access TWRP recovery after all is said and done? When ever I try to go into recovery via fastboot, it just takes me back to fastboot again.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Yes but you have to unlock bootloader again using unlock.bat and go to recovery menu flash whatever you want, reboot to bootloader again and run restore.bat.

The SuperSU relies on Magisk so you would have to flash that first, then the SuperSU. You don't need the Xposed if you don't want it.
[ZenFone 2 General] JBolho:
So if i update to stock MM, that's the only way to have root? Does the stock MM also give me the MM bootloader? Sorry for the questions, i'm still trying to figure out this device, i'm used to Snapdragons and etc, in which the process to have TWRP and root and etc is much more straightforward...
[ZenFone 2 General] rasyax:
What other method did you use to install SuperSU?
[ZenFone 2 General] rasyax:
The latest file works.

I did not test the unlock bootloader and twrp part since I already had it installed. But magisk superuser bat file worked.

The xposed bat file also works. I have rebooted a few times, the root did not disappear.
[ZenFone 2 General] frap_gadz:
Thanks Kapil, I can confirm that the new method and files work. I can't vouch for the bootloader unlocker because my bootloader was already unlocked but the others seem to work fine. I am now rooted and xposed is installed on MM .184. Thanks :D:good:
[ZenFone 2 General] kazukishida:
Thank you Kapil, I'm a bit short on time right now, but I'll try and give feedback when I do. It seems frap_gadz got it working, so I'm hopeful I'll be successful too.

I used Giovix92's modder. His bootloader unlocker didn't work for me (bootlooped), so I stumbled upon Kapil's .bat file, which worked. From my attempt last Jan 2, only the SuperSU rooting method on Giovix92's version worked -- Magisk didn't work either, and I had to sideload stock to make my phone usable again.

I'm using ZE551ML Z00AD, WW version.
