Hey hey people. Been around this site for years since i had my htc mogul i believe. I searched for some help with the issue im having and came up empty. I have an lg g8 thinq and it took an update late sunday when i was asleep so i dont know when. It immediately was acting funky and by the end of day - up until this moment it has been boootlooping i even fac reset and it isnstill bootlooping-brought to att and their hands are tied talk to lg or assurion (boy they really are jelpful there.....) anyone out there experiencing this because its my primary phone qnd as i sit typing this im on my old s8 qctive that is beat to **** but pulled the sim from my g8 and stuck it in here. Anyway it will get past the lg logo and start bootlooping at the att circle/emblem-every time until the battery dies. Hopefully i didnt break amy rules again i havent been on in awhile but this really is beyond frustrating my whole life in that phone and idk last time i backed it up but its been awhile. THANK YOUA to ANYONE that can help point me in righht direction. Also i forgot to mention non rooted completely stock.
So you've already held power and volume down at the same time with the phone on?
I am too having the same problem. Mine is a T-Mobile LG G8, stock non rooted, got updated last week and then acted funny(some apps crashed), I restarted it won't reststart; Stucked on some LG-G8 screen. I hard reset it (Vol Down-Power/LG Screen, release and then hold power button; and then hard reset), After that: it stuck on boot loop.
What I can try next?

When my update came through on T-Mobile it got stuck at the Tmo splash screen. Pressed the power and volume down until it turned black and let go. It rebooted normally after.

Hi guys, am just a newbie here from Malaysia and a new owner of a 2nd hand LG G8 ThinQ (LM-G820UM); no idea where it's from but got it already with Android 10 update.
'twas working perfectly fine for a few days, but suddenyl got stuck in bootloop after I reboot (Power + Volume Down buttons) the phone when I was trying to change to a different SIM card. It would remain in bootloop until the battery is drained.
I can connect it to my laptop and seems to be detected pretty good and able to switch to Download Mode, but can't re-flash with either Flash Tool or LGUP.
- Have tried to use different Flash Tool versions - in version 2014, the flashing will just stop at server error, in 2016 and 2025 versions it will require LGST login (apparently to connect to some server which require registration).
- same goes true for LGUP, both versions 1.14 and 1.16 (patched version) will just stop at 4% then the apps will close without any error or anything happening in the phone.
Appreciate any help to recover this phone which I paid for a few hundred dollars as I was impressed with the spec and was so delighted to a very good spec phone; then this happened.
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat but with ATT. LM-G820UM I believe. Completely stock software. I just had it sitting on the charging dock for a while and I came back to it and it was stuck in a bootloop. No idea what's caused it, but I can't seem to get it to stop for anything. This is one of the many reasons I find not having a removable battery deeply upsetting :/
okay will try that as soon as i can get this thing to boot normal again it now stuck on the lg g8s screen think i flashed the wrong abl_a and abl_b files
Has there been any progress in getting this fixed?
Other than flashing the entire stock kdz not sure what else can be done...

My wifes LG G3 got the lollipop update (I presume) but it got stock at 22% at the firmware update screen. After 2 hours my wife apparently got tired of it and took the battery out. The phone now repeats the procedure on boot and instead gets stuck at 23%.
What can be done here? Stock unrooted.
ps: googled for a good 15 minutes before posting but found little information on what to do.
Can you enter in download mode?
Turn off the phone and press Volume Up + power and hold
I get "Hardware key control mode" menu cancel mode on mode off. Seems unrelated to download mode?
Not related.
I believe your only hope is repair shop.
You have waranty?
Yeah she still has warrenty and it hasn't ever been rooted so should be fine. The problem was more of the nature wife needing phone NOW
I GOT DOWNLOAD MODE. Did the UP+connect usb cable instead, how do I use this to unbrick the little sucker?
Flash KDZ manually.
You can find files and tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
In fact download mode only worked once, then it stopped working stopping at the lg logo screen. Guess it's just to go to the repairshop tomorrow
I too am facing the same problem. I connected the phone to my PC on which I have the LG PC Suite installed.
The suite prompted for a firmware update for which I clicked. The download took forever and then the update started but during the process the phone had to restart after the first part and the phone keeps repeating its logo with music.
The suite is downloading another update (possibly the second part), but this will also take forever and I don't know whether the phone battery will hold up with its perpetual logo start-up.
This is real crappy my wife's phone just ended up at the shop. 4 weeks to get it back. Thanks LG.
I bought the LG G4 about two weeks ago. It is completely stock and not rooted. Today suddenly it shuted down, i tried to reboot but started a bootloop.

You might want to try and do a .KDZ Flash in order to take your device back to stock.

i have the same issue but it wont let me go into download mode either due to this problem
Bootloop/Error Code 1006
As of this morning, I am getting the exact same error - just started doing it while sitting on the wireless charger. Removed battery for half-hour, removed SD card - nothing helps. All I get is brief flashes of the LG splash screen, then nothing.
If battery removed and USB plugged in, I only get a battery/flashing question mark symbol on the display and phone does not power up.
Phone is maybe two months old, not rooted, so am very disappointed in my first LG phone since enjoying a few HTCs (Hero, Evo 4G).
Let's hope the Sprint store backs up their TEP with a brand new phone today...

I bought mine a week ago too :/
What month was your device manufactured? You can check on the outside sticker on the original box (if you still have it)
Mine was made in May and i'm having this problem. I think there was a bad batch made shortly before release that had defects. Here are some others with the same problem with phones made in May
lol just send em in on warranty.

yup. you're right. i'll be doing this soon
My problem this, please check solution please
my g4, 818P just had boot loop this morning. suddenly it was restarted and when I looked at it I really wish its not a boot loop, i did have a bad feeling and it became true. damn. I guess its the may batch *I cannot find the manufactured date but I pre ordered this, so this is maybe the first batch.
I took the battery out, SD card, sim card, no luck. Then, I let it boot loop for few times. I don't know maybe after tens restarts it show Android is starting and optimizing apps *and its still optimizing 56 of 116*. This is the second time, the first time when it was optimizing 17 apps *and I picked it up* the device suddenly restarted and stuck in boot loop again.
After read the reddit thread its the same symptom. I guess it really need to be replaced with *refurbished like new device* its just like a second-handed device after you had pre-ordered it.
So I have an, I beleive korean h815, I have been rooted for a couple weeks now, nothing else done to the phone. Today all of the sudden it stays on the LG splash screen. Very occasionally it'll start up and say "android is updating" but then it reboots the splash again. Is there a way I can just wipe everything and start like from factory again? I've tried the factory reset from the power+volume screen, I got to that screen, but it didn't do anything.
correction, it says twn on the box, so i'm guessing it's taiwan.
I found the thread on using LGUP to install kdz's. Went with the 20c kdz. Phone went to restart and it's just sitting on the screen that says LG. No animation or anything. Someone please help.
I had to buy am LG g stylo to get me by. I really want to fix my g4 and return this thing.

Can you tell us your android version? I think i have exactly the same issue which is quite annoying.
Each night i put my phone in the power plug with flight mode ON. In the morning, when i remove the flight mode , the phone restarts and falls into bootloop. Happened 3 times exactly the same way. I went for PCB replacement the previous week and i got a PCB starting with ser. No 601xxx. Today morning when i removed the flight mode i got a bootloop again. I am sure that this is caused by the V20D version that i installed the last days.... LG messed up again...i have a bootloop each week..
Not sure. But this is staying on this screen, it doesn't restart and stay on.

Hey! Check the bottom for TLDR.
I have had my G3 since they came out (have the 2GB, 16GB RAM version), and even got the G4, but remained with the G3 since it didn't have any issues with rooting and recoveries...
Anyways, I was talking to my brother on WhatsApp yesterday and ended up checking out my Hangouts messages at the same time. I believe I accidentally hit the camera feature on Hangouts, and then everything froze. I could still talk to my brother, but I could not get to the home screen or even change from looking at Hangouts. I turned off the screen in hopes that I could get back in, but when I turned the screen back on, I could not log into the phone (I do not have a pin or password, it has no lock at all).
After a few more minutes talking to my brother, it suddenly shut off. When I tried to turn it on it went into a bootloop where the front light changes different colors, and the LG logo continues to show that shine going around the logo.
I was able to get into download mode and went ahead and tried to flash a KDZ as per instructions (I have done this in the past). The install would complete and the phone would give the prompt about updating all the apps. Once that was done, it would show the LG logo and again for about ten minutes. Afterwards, it would get stuck in updating all the apps again and performing the same process...
I also tried using the LG PC Suite and trying to "Restore upgrade errors", but every time I would click that option, I would get a Windows error that something happened and close out the program (it never recognized the phone). I then used the LG Mobile Support Tool, which allowed me to perform an update for the firmware. It too completed, but then went back into the process of updating apps, showing the LG logo, then looping.
The final thing I tried was doing a Factory Reset. I was able to get to the area, and when selecting yes, it immediately went to the LG logo and "Life's Good" sign, which it would never get passed. This is also what happens when I try to turn on the phone and wait.
I contacted LG, which was pointless, as I expected. They wanted me to go to a local repair shop, which is of no use to me if they can only perform the same things I have done.
TLDR: My phone can get into download mode and the Factory Reset area, but flashing stock firmware, or performing the Factory Reset, still leads me into one of two bootloop situations. LG PC Suite and LG Mobile Support Tool seem to be of no use.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there anything I can try that I haven't?
Thanks in advance!

Please describe what happened prior to this before you start a whole big riot again.
Hello, I have this problem well. It started 8 hours ago. I was using it normally, no root or anything. And suddenly when I take it out of the pocket, it just keeps restarting.
I'd like to recover all my data before hard reset. Any help please?
Couldn't even turn it off, I had to wait until battery died.
Hello, same problem here. 2 hours ago I received a WhatsApp message and suddenly it restarts again and again.
Me too! But after two factory restarts I found the problem I guess.
For me, it occured twice when I started Airplane mode and after that everything went to...
Now I am affraid to start airplane mode again
What ROM and version are you guys??
V10f-EUR-XX
My version is V10k-EUR-XX.
After 2 factory resets it looks like my SIM card is the problem.
Without card the phone starts... But in my old LG G6 the SIM card works well.
I tried it with and without SIM as well, but it behaved the same. Sometimes I got into the system, but it just got stuck right away and bootlooped again.
But weird, because for me its airplane mode, which disables/enables celular, so SIM again.
I got T-Mobile, you?
I got t-mobile, too.
So lets wait for stormeye25, I wonder if he also has t-mob
Airplane mode is working well. Without a SIM ...
I am working with SIM. Only when I switch airplane on it stucks again. First time it was me turning airplane off, second time turning it on. Always with SIM and working celular
I tried without sim. Same problem. Also sometimes it boots up, but freezes after 2 seconds. I have the Europe version
I have same problem and i dont know what to do. Problem start about 5 hours ago (what i know last working time was 2:00AM CET). Itself reboot in boot screen or immediately on screen lock after start. I did factory reset, it work for few minutes and again. Version G710EM DEC (germany open market) last FW
It's something from lg ?
Update gone wrong maybe
Exact same problem on my G7 Thinq. Started about 8 hours ago. Boot loop, managed to get it in factory reset mode. Did nothing. Managed to reset it again (without the SIM in) then it booted. After reset it does not recognize (any) SIM. Called Tmobile to ask some questions about repair-process, they told me I was the 3th today with this problem. At this point I wish I wrote down my Google's 2FA recover keys :'). Can't access anything at the moment.
Same bootloop here, g7 thinq bought in Hungary Unlocked, but it downloaded the local t-mobile branding.
It was untouched on charger. When I wanted to pick it up it was already bootlooping and hot.
Put it into freezer, it booted, wallpaper lockscreen arrived, but nothing more.. it was stuck and started bootlooping again after like 30 secs.
Any info / resolution you have?
Okay so it happened again for me with not changing airplane mode or anything. Now I will try without SIM card. I will try to get into touch with our corporate t-mobile associate... Can we pinpoint if its t-mob (SIM) or something to do with LG?
Same here, G7 bought through TMobile Netherlands. I had turned it on airplane mode before going to bed, and when I tried to put airplane mode off it got stuck.
I'm waiting for the battery to die so I can try to wipe the cache...
Flash back to V10F did not help. More accurately until I insert sim (T-mobile) it looks like it works, after inserting sim freezes and resumes bootloop
Okay, out of the blue when in my pocket I noticed my phone was very hot and appeared, also without warning, stuck in a boot loop. Also on T-mobile...I had no problems before.
***Edit*** For the record I run a stock phone/firmware that I have never tempered with...
