LG V10 bootloop how to fix
- Thread starter spyearth
- Start date
Mine did this today after a bad flash. Only way to recovery was to go into recovery mode.
Shut phone off
Power on while holding down the "down" volume button and power button
When lg logo appears, release power button only and press again.
Select recovery option (this will wipe everything so hopefully you made a backup). GL
Had a software update a few days ago, the device got shaky immediately after: constantly losing data, wifi connection, would occasionally freeze. Last night I was doing some reading on wiki, opened a new tab, following by a complete freeze and the device restarting and going into bootloop. Pulled the battery a dozen times to get it to boot, like a G4 would, didn't work. Tried a factory reset a few times: first two times it wouldn't complete and go into bootloop over again, last two times it would just freeze. Have been stuck on this factory reset screen for about 20 min now. Will try sdk when i get home. Seems like the same issue as with G3 and G4. Thoughts?
well, nothing worked. I managed to finally boot it though... in a freezer, just to find all my data was already erased. should've tried that first. shipping it to LG tomorrow.
LG V10 F600S Bootloop
My V10 F600S got bootlooped today, stuck on LG logo. Unfortunately, there is no LG service center in our country. So is there any way to go with my LG v10 or is it a complete toast now?

Happened to me with an LG-V10 H960 (Israeli model, 32GB) - about an hour ago. This is with a plain, non-rooted phone, with stock ROM that only upgraded to Marshmallow a few months ago. Never fiddled with it, nothing at all.
I noticed over the past few months an occasional case when the phone would tell me I need to tap my knock-code and can't use the fingerprint reader, so I started suspecting it may have rebooted spontaneously when I wasn't looking, but I couldn't be sure as it kept saying "after 48 hours of no use - cannot use fingerprints" - it seemed odd, but I didn't read the signs...
About an hour ago, I was holding the phone, and it happened right in front of me. Phone became stuck, unresponsive for a few seconds, then screen blacked-out, and I saw the LG logo, and it was stuck in the bootloop.
I pulled the battery, and replaced it, tried a few times - nothing. Then I pulled the battery again and tried to only charge the phone - it showed me the charging screen, but then rebooted and went back to the bootloop.
I'm on my way to an LG service center, and will update if they tell me anything interesting. In any case I got "lucky" since I ran LG Backup about a month ago, and all of my photos / videos get recorded to the external SD card (which I immediately removed, of course, for safety).

What temp
What temp? Willing to try. Phone is out of warranty. If I can get it working again, I can swap it. Any idea what caused it for you?

I put it in 100 celcius degrees, then I could use the phone so I made a backup and then I reset my phone.
Now, it works.
Now, it works.
Hello, the statement about official bootloop issue is dated 26.10.2016. Does that mean that if the phones manufacture date(can be checked by IMEI) is later than that, then the phones come with fixed motherboards? Also does this apply to V10?
To freeze or bake??
Has anyone else tried putting their LGv10 in the oven & had positive results? I just need mine to come out of bootloop long enough to backup all my photos & i am terrified that i won't be able to get it to come out of bootloop mode! Most say that heating it up keeps it on longer than freezing but has a bigger chance of permanent damage to the phone. I'm not worried about the longevity of the phone, I only want my 2,500 photos. Please help

Hey did you ever try this with your v10? i am desperate to get mine to turn on but if i try something that ruins it my soul will die. If this method worked for more than 1 person i may try it. I read that putting a hair dryer to the back of it till it got really warm worked for some people but can possibly have long term damage. i don't care if it damages the phone as long as it stays on long enough to backup my photos.

I think my phone just f-ed itself into a bootloop again. same "headphone jack freeze" as last time. Just under a year ago had to send it to Texas for repairs. they said they had flash memory replaced and that's it. last time i managed to boot after having it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. unfortunately, I've already wiped it just before that.
I bought a new battery for my phone & i just tried putting it into the freezer inside a ziploc bag without the battery in it for 20 minutes. Took it out, popped battery in, tried to turn it on & it got past the booting screen but did not make it to the main display before going back into bootloop mode.
Put it back in freezer for 15minutes, tried again except with it plugged into computer this time, it showed the battery image on the screen for a moment & then completely turned off. Wouldn't even bootloop so i hope i didn't completely **** it up more

100 degree's Celsius.......wtf....... are you sure? because i don't think so. it gonna fry its tiny lg v10 chips out.
Where did you get the statement about bootloop issue with that particular date?
I've taken my LG V10 apart and baked the motherboard three times now. Each time it has worked for 4 to 5 hours before bootloop again. Long enough to get files off of it.
I'm typing this on the LG V10 right now. Battery started at 100% and now I'm down to 10%. I'm gonna use my weakest charging adaptor (1 amp) because I have a suspiscion that the heavy duty chargers over 2 Amps might be part of the problem. Purely a hunch. I'll keep you updated.

3LG Positive Experience
I'd like to add on this topic with a pretty positive experience I've had with LG. My LG V10 started the "boot loop" problem a few days ago. I tried all the basic soft and hard reset and battery removal tricks I found on the web with no avail. I even took it to an At&T store and they tried to do a factory reset that kept failing. AT&T told me it was toast. I also tried myself to do a factory reset which kept freezing on the 2nd - 3rd step. I even tried LG Bridge repair with a usb connection to attempt to restore/ reset that way (which I later found out from LG isn't possible because the phone has to be booted to do this). I went to LG's website and entered my phones info and the site told me it was out of warranty. (which I knew, the phone is nearly 2 years old)
At this point I kinda thought I was screwed. Quick side note: While I was having this issue with my V10 on vacation AT&T did sell me a little ZTE z831 for about $47 and got me out of the jam of not having a phone while on vacation. Since I had all my google accounts synced up from my V10 as soon as I signed in on the ZTE Maven I got most of my pictures, contacts, and emails back.
My last straw for my V10 was to call LG. The lady I spoke with on the phone was extremely nice and and after I briefly informed her of basically everything I stated in my first paragraph above and that their website said it was out of warranty she basically said "no problem, we can still fix this for you". She said all I needed to do was send it in to them. She told me the only way to fix my boot problem was to replace the motherboard. I'm sending it in to them today and they are supposed to replace the motherboard and have it back out to me free of charge within 2 weeks.
Yes it sucks I had to buy a temp phone, and yes it sucks I lost a little bit of data. But, my props go out to LG. They could have very easily told me the same thing that 99% of other big companies do to us these days "sorry its out of warranty, we wont help you" But they didn't. They are supporting their product. Very glad to see there are still some good companies out there that do stand behind their products and not their lawyers.
Sorry for the long post. People are quick to report negativity on the web. I wanted to take the time and share the details and give credit where its due.2I suggest you guys to "SOUS VIDE" (slow cooking) your phones :

Medium rare :cyclops:2Didn't read all the posts here, but I can definitely say that this logo bootloop issue is NOT hardware related...
My H960A is rooted ( bootloader unlocked of course) , with custom recovery (TWRP) and I got stuck on logo a couple of weeks ago..
Rebooted into recovery, flashed a custom rom and phone started again
After that used a 3rd party tool to flash one of the latest stock firmwares, flashed a wrong firmware, but LG Bridge fixed evrything
Now my phone is like brand new ( just the warning for the unlocked bootloader remains)
So if some service center tells you it's a software( EDIT - I mean, hardware) issue like defective motherboard or something, they are full of it
Just read some tutorials/ threads on how to flash stock firmware with the different tools available ( LGUP , LG Flash tool, Chimera, etc..https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/guide-lg-v10-stock-firmware-to-stock-t3224170) and you will get over the bootloop issue...
And ....if after flashing a stock firmware ( with one of those 3rd party tools), phone will still get stuck on logo , just run LG Bridge run update or fix update error, and LG Bridge will fix everything...
My 2 cents
Cheers
