Starting like 2 months ago my x10 began freezing for about 3 seconds, while making a loud humming noise, and after following this 3 second period will shut itself off and restart. It has been getting gradually worse, usually only happens while playing games, installing apps, watching videos etc.... I have flashed multiple different ROMS, have tried reinstalling 2.1 again with SEUS with no avail. I have called SE and if I ship it in won't have my phone for 3 weeks....dont want that. Any suggestions please help!!
Did you get your phone from the carrier? If so, they might be able to replace it for you right there in front of you. They did that for me and I was for ATT. But mine was under warranty.
That's if you want to replace it.

sounds like a hardware problem to me
actually i had the exact problem when i was using Jerpelea's CM7.0.3 J020c K010
and it froze with a humming sound for about 2 seconds then reboot. This has only happened to me once and that was when the battery was very low and i was using it very heavily.
How do you use the phone??
Because i think this is due to too much things running at the same time and the phone not being able to cope with it, in other words the phone OS not responding
Also how many times has it happened to you????
Do you use the phone heavily???
after being on the phone for about 5 minutes, playing a game for about 15-20 or watching videos for 15 minutes the phone will restart almost everytime. It has done it on 2.2 i just installed yesterday, on eminence 2.1 ROM, and on 2.1 Generic, and also the regular firmware updated bu SEUS, so i don't think it is firmware, probably hardware i guess =/

I had to go to the repair center of ATT to get my phone which there are like five in the country, but what makes me wonder is why ATT doesn't have a record of you buying the phone. Did you get it from somewhere else or from a friend?

I had a broken iphone before, we didnt want to sign a new contract so we just bought the phone outright at the store, and I also purchased the insurance incase something like this happened. It kind of irritates me that they don't have record of that either.
hey next time the phone reboots, take the battery out and give it a smell. Does it smell like burning?? If so means the motherboard is burnt

Man, that's a bummer. If you could go bring this issue up to the high end part of customer service and win that would be nice and get a new phone since its still under warranty. Wish I could help you out. I know what a broken phone is like. Mine fried itself and that didn't make my day. I hope someone here can find a solution for you or your phone gets replaced.

Hi, try to set your CPU to min 245, Max 998, using this app called "setcpu". http://db.tt/Q2wY7zR
PS: don't forget to check "set on boot".

This is literally the stock setting of your phone and will not likely help you at all. Does the phone feel hot when this happens? If so its a faulty board and it will need to be replaced. If you purchased insurance and pay for it on your bill they will fix it. I have had AT&T replace a phone I didn't even have insurance for because I had insurance on another of the same phone. They are usually very good with those things and it gets taken care of relatively quickly.

Yeah it feels hot when it restarts. Once in a while I have to take the battery out and let it cool for it to come back on.
It sounds extremely likely that your motherboard is knackered. You can use the phone until a ‘trip’ temperature is reached when the phone will reboot and you can’t use it until it has cooled down. This happened to me. I installed battery monitor widget and set the refresh option to the minimum time to see what temperature mine rebooted at. For me it was 38 degrees C. As I did not have a warranty either I put my phone back to stock and sent it off to a recycling site and got the full value. I also have become extremely disillusioned with SE and will not by another phone from them. Mind you looking at their range it has, imho, been left behind by HTC, Samsung, Moto and even LG.
Same problem here like dnerve.Never flashed my phone or something like that , I only used SEUS.For half a month i think the phone is getting worse and worse.No offence but from my side it's the terrible investment in my life.I answer the phone , talking for 22 seconds bzzzzzzzzzzzz restart.I listen to a song for 30 sec to 1 min bzzzzzzzzzzzzz restart.I make 2-3 pictures bzzzzzzzzzzzzz restart.I put it to charge for 10 min bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz closes(doesn't restart , rarely). From my opinion this phone doesn't make it's money.When i bought it almost a year ago i payed around 544 euro from Wien , Austria. When you pay that amount of money , you have some expectations from it.I can't believe that there so many problems with a phone that is so expensive.
I'm debating on getting a Mini Streak 5 from someone who installed a new screen lcd digitizer and they now it just keeps rebooting... I don't think they ever did a hard reset, everythings working touchscreen and all except it loaded up to the actual os and stayed there for 15 minutes and then started rebooting and cycling through the bootup dell splash screen.
Could installing a new rom from safe mode fix this?
The Streak isn't bricked, just bootlooping. So installing a ROM may fix the bootlooping.
Bad & Good News
Turns out when the guy replaced the screen he fried the mobo... Me and a friend at a small local pc store tried everything from rooting with new rom to factory resets. Always had the same problem.
But the guy at the pc store sells phones also and said he'd give me $100.00 credit to a new factory refirbed, rooted and unlocked dell streak mini if I gave him the one we tried to repair.
That is what happed this morning:
Woke up, whatsapp for a bit, suddenly, reboot itself, stuck in siya logo.
waited for 30mins, no luck, hard turn off (long press power button)..
after that, no more reboot, no download mode, no CWM, try the three button trick no luck, remove battery and three button trick no luck......
Here is what I have done with my phone before, It runs perfectly for like months:
Resurrection Remix Rom 2.2
Siyah Kernal (latest S2 version)
BLN
Overclock (200-1300) but stable with siyah
Apex launcher...
I sincerely beg for all genius developers to give me a hand...........
Try a download jig and see if that makes it respond.

Call wireless provider tell them a crazy story about an accident you had and your phone is crushed and bloody and if they provide upgrade then ask for an early upgrade due to no warranty that is what I did for my $3

If there is jo Jtag shop in Syndey, you can send it overseas for Jtag repair. But I suppose it costs a lot of money.
Alternatively, you can send it to Samsung, play stupid (phone didnt turn on this morning) and keep your fingers crossed.
Wish you luck mate.

Could anyone shed some light on all these bricked phones that were bricked out of the blue - without users fault? I mean, there are so many threads about bricking phones while doing nothing - the phone was just normally used, or even with the screen off, and it just turned off by itself/rebooted itself/froze and there was no way to recover it... Similar thing happened to me month ago - I was on a safe stock 4.0.3 ROM with safe kernel (mmc_cap_erase disabled), I have just started a game that I play regularly, the screen froze, I have waited for some time, then tried to do a hard reboot, got stuck at booot logo, and that was it. Recovery was erased - no way to enter it, download mode was still alive but it was stuck while trying to flash anything - there was an error while trying to write rom, kernel etc. I had to sent it to repair centre...
Thos was just an example, one of many. So, the question is - is this bad Samsung hardware in action, or software bugs that are causing hardware malfunctions or something else? I mean, I had few HTC Android phones before, and I have never saw anything like SGS2 Q&A forum - every second thread is about bricked phone...
Any thoughts?
I think people jump in with both feet without doing much research.I don't blame them,as I just flashed RR3 and I didn't fancy reading 62,000 posts.
Plus its a very popular phone,so maybe its only a tiny %age that are faulty.

Hi all,
I've been a proud streak 5 owner for some years now and have been through quite a few of them. The one i'm on now has developed an issue where its constantly rebooting; it can be immediately after loading the android os or at the dell startup logo. Occassionaly i'm able to get it to stay on but its just a matter of time before it reboots again. Its got to the point where its no longer useable and i havent particularly used it in months due to this issue. I love the phone but i've been through that many of them i promised myself when i got this one it would be my last so i really hope it can be fixed.
I've tried various things myself to fix the issue including:
Factory Reset
Re-Flashed Rom
QDL tool, streak repair, and repairtools (all qdl tools sucesfull but still rebooting)
I've covered pretty much everything there. The only other possible solution i can think of is replacing the internal sd card but i dont have my tools with me as i've just moved house. I also have some spare streaks that dont boot up or have cracked screens so i'll try swapping about some parts when i get hold of my tools again.
In the meantime would anyone have other suggestions that wouldnt require opening up the device ?
Hi, somebody knows what to do in this situations? I am really without hope. I was texting on whatsapp and phone freeze for 5 minutes. I removed battery and try to reboot and It appeared this screen and only this screen. Cant go to recovery but I can go to download mode, I tried to refubrish some firmware with LGUP but the program give me an error. In download mode I see the phone on lg bridge but if I use lg tool flash it don't see it. I hope in some advice. Thanks
Did you try upgrade instead refurbish kdz ? Hope make alive you're mob.
i've tried all... upgrade, refurbish, upgrade fota. Always error. When I put it in the congelator fro 3-5 minutes seem better but it gave me always error, instead after a while out the congelator it wont boot up at all...

did you try lg bridge => update error recovery option. it will redownload the firmware and install freshly.
I tried and succesfull, but on reboot go on bootloop and nothing change (its disappeard green screen at least). Now I think Its a bootloop problem and so its fu**ed up. So frustrating
Well i got the same green screen and the bootloop also just some minutes ago. I can get into download mode, but my pc wont recognize the phone at all. After some time it will continue to bootloop from download mode also. After some cooling the phone boots into android, but after seconds it freezes and starts to bootloop.
Any idea what i could do with the phone to fix it? Im out of warranty, so it would cost too much to send it in to the repair shop.
same problem with me please help
How far out of warranty? LG's been taking care of people 18+ months out in some cases.
I bought my phone some 15 months ago. So i contacted LG and they offered a free check for the phone. If it is bootlooping they will try to repair it for free. If not reparable the store where i bought the phone will compensate me. Hope it all goes well.
I got this yesterday while playing a game. My sense is some thermal-related hardware failure.
My paranoid side is curious about the timing. I once had a VCR that broke THE DAY my warranty ran out. I'll update when I learn how T-Mobile deals with this, but I'm paying for insurance--so I may get a replacement (and another 15 months or so until the replacement "times out"?).
same problem here too :crying:

same here since today!!! wtf never heard about it before
same here today
It's a bootloop guys. LG will most likely give you a repair even if out of warranty, you just need proof of purchase (I bought mine online so I just sent them the confirmation email).
In Youtube there are plenty of videos that claims they have fixed the bootloop issue by applying thermal paste or pads and comments in that videos prove it shurity. I am also interested to purchase lg v10 but after seeing this kind of issues i m little bit scared
same here .yesterday using facebook and then..boom...restart....bootloop....some time starts and freezes at 5 minutes. some times green screen. i enter download mode and reinstall firmaware but same story
Hello everybody !
Anybody have solve this problem?
I have the same green screen demi god handler.:crying:
When he's connect on PC, it is in Qualcomm HS USB mode.
Help us Please.:good:
Same problem here. I think it is bootloop and as much as I know only permanent solution is to replace the motherboard. But I have a problem about it, does anyone have any idea about the models of LG v10, since it has too many models, h960A, H960AY, H960TR etc. And mine is H960A but if i replace motherboard myself, should the new motherboard also be H960A or doesn't it matter?
and here comes one more ...
Written on messenger when it hung. Restarted and displayed the logo to become green.
Luckily, the phone is 11 months old. I miss it already, especially the camera
Same here today...
