LG G3 keeps restarting instantly

My 3 month old G3 is restarting. It gets to the point of showing the LG logo then shuts down, and in a minute it restarts again, then shuts down and repeats the cycle. The only way to stop it is to remove the battery. When I put the battery back in and try to start it, the cycle of restarting starts again.
I tried to do hard reset, and I get to the hard reset menu and select yes twice, but it shuts down again, only to start up a minute later.

It happened to me about a month ago, and that time removing the battery helped, but not this time.

I hope I can do something to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

Or, since it's under warranty, you could bring it to the carrier's store and ask them to fix or replace it. (Make sure everything is backed up first, no matter what you do - fix it yourself or bring it in.)

Re: LG G3 keeps restarting instantly

Thank you for your replys.

I followed that link and tried to follow those instructions, but I have a problem. When I enter in to download mode, it shuts down again before my PC recognizes the phone. How can I fix that? I've installed the latest version of the lg mobile driver.

I'm afraid I don't know that. It may be best at this point to consider using the warranty, as Rukbat suggested.

If you prefer to continue trying to fix it yourself, however, you could try posting the question in the LG G3 forum, where someone may be able to advise.

Re: LG G3 keeps restarting instantly

First of all, plug the phone into the power/Charger. (to will assist it to not restart all the time)

Then you go to Menu -
Then go to the " General" -
Then scroll down to "Backup and Restore"
In Back up and Restore "unmark" the option "Automatic Restoration

This should do the trick very nicely. Try this before you get a new battery. It should save you time and efforts.

Gentlemen! i have found the solution to frequent shutting down / restarting of LG G3 D855.
Background:
My LG G3 D855, Middle Eastern Version was shutting down by itself. This behavior was more frequent, just once i dialed any number, or when there was an incoming call. When i connected the headphone and screen went blank, then i could hear "ticktictick" sound in the headphones, which meant that the phone is not 100 percent dead. Then it could not be restarted, unless the remove the battery and press the power button for few seconds then insert the battery and turn it ON. Certain times, it acted like getting restarted by itself. and one day it started this behavior from 8 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. I tried all means, resetting and all, but the problem prevailed. Finally getting frustrated, i decided to throw this into a dustbin.

Fix:
Before going to throw away my LG G3 into dustbin, i wanted to try rooting and Custom Rom stuff.
I tried the "one click rooting method", but the phone could not bee rooted.
Then i tried method [GUIDE][ROOT] Newest Root Method for LG devi… | LG G3

Before doing custom ROM, i wanted to see behavior of rooted phone. Luckily it never restarted or shut down after rooting was done.
i am happy now,and it worked perfectly for me. Only rooting worked.
