Re: LG G4 stuck in a boot loop

I found a freezer free way and oven free way of getting the LG G4 to boot.
I used a hair dryer out of all things.
1. Removed the back cover
2. Removed the battery and plug your phone in to your PC
3. Put the hair dryer on medium speed on full heat
4. I spread the hot air evenly across the back of the phone, the distance of the hair dryer was roughly 15 - 20cm away from the phone.
5. After 35 secs try putting in the battery and testing if the phone boots, keep trying steps 3 - 4 until it boots (let it try boot a couple of times before reheating)
6. Put the phone on its back and Transfer you precious data from the phone to your PC or Laptop - YOU MUST KEEP BLOW DRYING THE PHONE every now and then!!
7. Blow drying the phone after every minute to make sure it's still hot and the faulty contact is making the connection

Hope this works as well as it did for me, I almost lost all my overseas photos and videos - I was absolutely devastated.

Managed to get every single photo and video successfully.
Just don't over cook your phone.

Happy Saving DATA

What side of the motherboard are the loose contacts on the LG G4 on? Front or back of phone?

Re: LG G4 stuck in a boot loop

I was stuck in bootloop, I have the LG model where you cannot take the battery out. since I could not take the battery out, I decided to drain it. I couldn't get past the LG life is good screen. I fashioned a rubber band around the phone first, then add a pencil on each side to hold the volume and on/off buttons down simultaneously until the battery drained. Once I charged it up it came on no problem. Try it, you will thank me later.
