Hi. I'm getting LG G5 H860 soon, in fact purchased already, waiting for it to arrive. And I got no warranty. Only after that I've read about the bootloop issues, but it seems like most of them are US and Canada versions. I want to ask if any of you H860 users faced bootloop issues? I'm so scared mine will be faulty.
Till now no problems.... H860 owner
Bootloop issues on the G5? Haven't heard anything about it.

Had my H860N since the 3rd week of April, still no problems. There's a little backlight bleed at the bottom bezel, but HONESTLY, I haven't noticed it ever since I tried to mention it here again.

There is a big anguish of the Lg V10 owners that V10 has the same boot loop problem as G4. There are some events (around net) that make this anguish bigger and bigger. Can we have a general real view for this theme?
I have had this phone since March and I have never noticed any problem. I am with Android – Marshmallow. Let us know if you had boot loop problem with your phone.
Let's hope that they are individual events and V10 will not appears the big boot loop problem as G4 has.
Seems to be an AT&T centric issue, I havent had a boot loop problem and I've owned my phone since Dec 2015. T-Mobile user here.
The boot loop issue seems weird because it would seem people experiencing this issue all at the same time. Like it's a date issue or server issue from AT&T.
I noticed that. How can effect the AT&T or other server my phone and has bootloop;
It seems to be a rumor only, some samsung fans might be posting such things on forums. Now when V20 is about to launch, such rumors are being spread. M using Tmobile H901 (Manufactured Oct 2015) and it is working perfectly fine on MM.
No boot loops here, I am sure it is the competition trying to hurt LG
The only problem I had, was that my V10 that I bought on launch day, microphone became very muffled. I Exchange it about 2 months ago, but no boot loop issue at all. My replacement is working great also!

There is a thread here where some owners post that their V10 had bootloop issues, but I believe that they are few cases according the sales of appliance, maybe I'm wrong. We will see...
I live in Switzerland (my provider is Sunrise, I bought the phone from a swiss online retailer called digitec, so there should be no ties to AT&T) and after doing a lot of research on potential audiophile phones I've decided to buy an LG V10 in May this year, and I dont regret doing it so far, it's a great device.
However about 2 weeks after I bought the phone a colleague of mine broke the screen by accident and I had to send the phone in and pay for it to get repaired. After they returned it to me I had something that appeared to be very similar to what you call a "boot loop" here in this thread. The phone constantly restarted on its own, in different intervals. I tried everything without success, but then after about 2 days (I had removed the battery for the whole night, don't know if this is relevant but I'll mention it anyway) when I was at a point where I was going to call the LG support helpline, I tried doing a hard reset one last time, and don't ask me why but the phone has not been in a boot loop since (that was about 1 or 2 weeks ago). All I did was hard reset the phone and install every software Update available. Just thought I'd mention this here because I am really wondering what caused this and I'm really hoping that I wont be encountering this issue again since I do not really know how I fixed it.

Hmmm mine is 5 Days Years Old .. I read alot of Articles via Internet .. I Hope v10 not as G4 .. But to be Updated check Android Authority's Article .. Read comments .. Also they send a statement to LG and waiting for Respond ..

the ATT model H900
Back in July my VS990 developed the bootloop issue. Sent to Verizon for warranty replacement. the 1st replacement had many issues that led to them sending a 2nd replacement unit. All good so far.
Bootloop
My phone from T-Mopile overheated and would not boot fully. I have long since had it replaced but no issues with the new device so far.
At least it doesnt explode like the Samsung Note 7
Head over to r/lgv10 on Reddit and you'll see dozends of reports in the sticky (including me) with my H901 (tmobile). Now I am on a H960A, but missing the missing 32GB.
I woke up this morning and grabbed my LG V10. Opened an app, then it froze, no response from any soft or hard buttons for about a minute, so I pulled the battery. Now I am the proud owner of a boot looping brick. ATT H900. It should still be under warranty, so I am going to try the ATT store this morning before class.
So I sent my bootlooped V10 H900 to LG and it says they replaced the main board. Hopefully that fixes the problem once and for all.

Try factory reset? It's never a good thing when a phone does this.

Simple, they srew up Updates. It's absolute nonsense that the Providers in the US still provide Devices with own Firmwares.
They stoped doing that Years ago in other Countries since the Device Firmwares get more and more complex.
It does also slow down the whole Update release speed for new Updates from the OEM's. A free Device is always the better choice...
Let's see how long it takes till You get Nougat...

And why are You running 10h in this Case? Nonbranded should be 10c,10d,10e or 10i not 10h...!? Maybe thats the Reason for Your reboots!? Wrong Firmware on Your Device!?
Can someone explain the numbers by v10j (234-20)please I'm seeing this firmware on H860 models of the G5
Hello All!
I am fairly new to the site, and not too tech savvy, but I'm having some problems with my Verizon LG V10 I bought about 3 months ago.
I bought the unit from eBay for 300 dollars in new condition (a steal if you ask me), and it's been working great, but I have been having issues updating my phone.
I am aware that Marshmallow is out for the V10 on Verizon, yet whenever I click on check for updates, it always says no upgrade is available.
As most of you probably know, Verizon phones are unlocked, and I am using an H20 sim card, putting the phone in international mode. My question is that I'm wondering if that is the problem, or is there something else?
Thanks for your help
I thought all the V10's shipped with Marshmallow.

They actually don't.
I bought this one off of ebay, and it came with 5.1.1
I even tried the Verizon Software Updater, and thought I had it, only to find out that nothing changed, I really want to get a hold of the battery life optimization in Marshmallow
You won't get Verizon updates on another network or outside North America.
Download the kdz and upgrade it yourself
please provide kdz file working link, nowhere i can find it.
So I just got the V30 from AT&T. The last new phone I got was a G3 so its been a really long time for me. In those days every phone got unlocked after a short wait. From what I have been reading it looks like the AT&T version may not ever be unlockable. Is this true? If so, I made a big mistake. Can anyone comment on this.

unfortunately theres no way to root H831 as of now due to locked bootloader.
Apparently I have been able to root my H831...
I recently had my 4 month old LG 5 overheat and quit working. I returned it to the Cell phone provider (FreedomvMobile) who sent it to Futuretel in Ontario as the authorized repair centre in Canada.
They have informed me that I have rooted the phone and therefore it is not covered under warranty. I did not know what rooting was until I googled it. I have not rooted the phone. They are refusing to fix the phone. They say that the test of the phone is conclusive and that it was rooted. It was not. Does anyone have any idea if there are other causes that would make the technician at Futuretel think that it was rooted? I need some information before I go even further with this ridiculous response from Futuretel. Help!

The tech is scamming you. Been there done that. Send a message to LG global through Facebook. It will get replaced. They do not want a bad rep.
Petition
Sign the petition and spread the word guys, we are really close! change.org/p/lg-electronics-unlock-lg-g5-bootloader-for-all-varients
I just signed
Any word on Canadian bootloader yet?
Well, I went and signed for all it is worth. I still have a G5 in my collection and I would love to get it onto Lineage and let my son use it.
Really would like to root my phone as well :/
Still no news on rooting h831??
That is a good question. There was finally an update to Android 8.0 for our devices but I wonder if it made it so they can be unlocked and whatnot...
I don't want to be negative, but I guess in the end we will have to sell this device and buy another one, just to have an unlocked bootloader and root

Well, I and my wife upgraded to Galaxy S9s this spring due to a seriously unbeatable deal. Had the G5 supported the AWS bands used by the new carrier we switched to, she would still have been using it but alas, nope.
We still have her LG G5 and my son uses it as an ipod of sorts. I would love to root the thing just so newer OS' can be installed on it as it will never be a phone again so I don't need to worry about things like tap to pay and such. I guess it getting to Android 8 will have to do.
Yeah, I would love to root if possible too but I understand that our device is not popular enough just as H850 is or H830.
Would be trying to sell this device and buy another one then...

Ya, see, there is one general complaint that fits this... I hate that there are so many damned models of each of the main model names... As in there is never really JUST an LG G5 or JUST a Galaxy S9.
If you look HARD enough there is a way to ROOT a H831. You have to use Marshmallow 6.0 and follow a small tutorial that you will find if you look HARD. I am not sure if you can roll back to v6.0 so you can force root but hey all you have to do is LOOK!

Can you provide a link? I've searched for months w/ no success.
You can't downgrade from Oreo to Marshmallow so no root
