Hi, I was using my LG G5 while plugged in, all of a sudden it acts weird, app crashes, lags and a few part of the screen goes black for a short moment. It then shuts down and restart itself, but stuck on some sort of a bootloop (it passes the logo screen but then the LCD goes black and keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly with nothing in it, also the LED light is showing blue)
I took off the battery, put it back in, and turned it on. But it ended up the same. So then I went to the system recovery menu. The recovery menu works just fine. However I've tried using its safe mode, wipe cache, factory data reset, continue power up, and none of them seems to work. It just stuck on that bootloop.
Since I was getting desperate, I left the phone in the bootlooping state for awhile.. at some point it started normally and goes to the choose your language menu (because of the factory reset I guess). I was so relieved, until it restarts itself again.
I've tried replacing the battery with a new one, also doesn't work. There is no LG service center in my city, and I have no warranty whatsoever over this phone because I bought it online. I couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
Here's a video showing you the problem:

Hi,
I need your help.
I was using my phone normally when suddenly some official app crashed, i pressed the report by email button, but nothing happened, the phone freezed. So i just pressed the power button to restart the phone.
Now i can't turn it on ! Everytime it reaches the samsung logo, i get a cycle of 1 vibration followed by 3 vibrations a few seconds later. Those vibrations keep repeating until the phone decide to restart and the problem repeat itself.
tiny good news : I was able to enter TWRP recovery mode, and switch off the phone in order to be able to start it in "Safe mode".
So safe mode is working, but as soon as i try to come back to normal booting : same problem again (stuck at samsung logo + 1+3 vibrations infinite cycle).
Did this happened already to someone ? I was not doing any sensitive manipulation when it started so i'm surprised (the app that crashed it pebble time app, but i think it's just random).
Any way to boot in normal mode without having to hard reset it, please ?????
So i managed to fix the problem.
Here is my solution for others who might encounter this issue:
Being able to enter safe mode but not normal mode told me it was an app that bugged...
Something probably went wrong with the Pebble Time application: i've uninstalled it through the play store (in safe mode), and then.... i managed to reboot in normal mode again ! (and i reinstalled the pebble time app again, no more problem even after rebooting).
All good now.
The watch was working fine, then I just stopped using it for almost 6 months. When I decided to use it again, I put it on the cradle to charge.... The screen showed the LG logo and that's all!... When I tried pushing the reset button at the back it switches off, the screen goes dark and that it!.... What to do?!... I'm not expert with all the stuff I've read here Btw!
Try rebooting into Recovery and clearing the cache.
Hey all
I bricked my ulefone power 3s yesterday. Got bootloop (always reseted after 5 seconds) and could never go into recovery mode. This is "fixed". But now I face some mystical ****..
- Phone in a bootloop. Could not enter any other mode.
- Connection on pc always came and went due to the constant resetting every 5 seconds.
- Used Smartphone flash tool: Auto format flash and format whole flash. Took 3 seconds and Tool said success
- Phone didnt boot at all now. Black screen. No vibration when trying to power on. Nothing. Was able to connect to pc and keep the connection however
- Flashed official rom.
- "Phone finally boots..."
But.. I've never seen something like this
From boot to android menu, the screen is COMPLETLY distorted.
I dont know what to do anymore. What the hell is going on? The screen worked perfectly fine before. Even during boot loop. I didnt crack the screen. Nothing happened to the display physically.. Its literally before and after in terms of time it took.
I can still scroll down and up normally (but laggy) use functions etc. Its just that the screen is completly ****ed up. Im completly out of ideas.. Reflashing doesnt work. Problem persists.
Theres also this weird chinese text and key on the upper right corner. No idea what it means and never had it before.
See pictures...

The phone fell off a treadmill and went haywire.
If I don't do anything it's stuck in bootloop, powers up, showes the loading screen moving lines for ages and eventually restarts.
If I start tapping the phone (unplugged) eventually it boots up, and it like normal, but if I do anything too quickly it will give me an error "process system isn't responding" with options to exit or wait, regardless it will crash. If at any point the screen goes to sleep it will crash, so I have to keep interacting. This one time I managed to get to the point where I plugged in into my pc, unlock the phone, select data transfer and started phone repair using Xperia PC software but it crashed before software finished the download and then gave me an error. Sometimes when I plug it in at that stage it will crash. Then back to the loop unless I tap the screen (only works sometimes, but I haven't seen it boot without me doing it, could be a consistent coincidence tho).
If I hold volume up + power button when the phone is off, nothing happens. If I do it while it's booting it will vibrate 3 times, restart, and then turn off (the only way to exit bootloop basically) but doesn't lead me to a recovery screen or anything I can interact with. Phone is not flashed or anything. When it restarts it will blink the red light a few times. Is there any chance to recover data or even just the phone?
Thanks!
I got an old G3 VS985. At first it seemed broken beyond fixing but then I realized the backlight turns off after the Android logo comes on. It will be on when off and charging as well. Using a flashlight, I managed to navigate the menu and factory reset. The backlight stayed off throughout the reset and I forced it to shutdown when it started setup and asked for the language because I still couldn't see. But when I turned it back on, it was working properly. However, after a while it went to sleep and when I tried to use it again it was back to the issue. I managed to boot I to the recovery menu and cleared the cache. After that, it rebooted and the screen worked again. I pressed the power button to shut the screen off and back on a few times and it still worked. I left it for a few minutes and it's back to no backlight. I was going to try and reset from the recovery menu but I was only able to get into the menu that one time for some reason. Maybe the instructions I've found are wrong but I tried a few things and can't get back to it. I also checked for updates and it said there aren't any. It's just an old phone that someone didn't want that I thought I could give to my kid to play games with, so not activated or anything. I don't know if it's a hardware issue but it doesn't seem like it because it works for a bit after reset. Any ideas? Also, how can I get into recovery mode every time?
