Hey folks, yesterday my father's phone was dead without any reason and it didn't do anything!! it didn't even show the lg logo
so i started searching for solution so i found the freezer trick and i tried to put the phone in the freezer for about 30 minutes then i got it back
after that i pulled out the battery and put it again then tried to get it into download mode and it actually got to it!!!!
So i started to fell excited and i tried to flash the firmware as fast as i can and i flashed it and it was successful !
then the phone opened for a second and shut down again so i tried to put in the freezer again and get it out but it didn't work
so i tried to do something different and this is what i did so i can get off my data and it actually works
i moved the files from my phone to my laptop while it's in the freezer xD
anyway i was about to go out and i got it out of the freezer
when i came back i tried to put it again so i can backup my whatsapp data but now i can't ):
can anyone help me unbrick this phone without having to buy anything or opening its hardware
i heard that you can disable the 2 big cores on the lg g4 but i can't find it for the lg v10
i would be really thankful to anyone who helps me solve it

Ok lets start.
1) Phone wouldn't connect to PC but it would charge - got over that by just using a memory card and always having ROMS on the card
2) went on holiday (gran canaria) at the beach so a bit of sand got on my phone but it was working fine for the rest of the holiday
3) Got on the plane and the phone was working fine i Accidently left it off airplane mode but oh well we lived ad im sure that hasn't affected anything and fell asleep with it in my pocket. now ive got back to the UK but the phone was of even though it was charged before hand. tried to use the wall charger but it wouldn't work when i got home i tried USB but that wouldn't work
4) today ive gone to get a new battery in case the battery has died but no battery worked. i went ot about 3 different shops and now im sure its the phone.
5) ive tried cleaning (blowing the sand out of the phone and it never got wet so now i don't know what to do. i was using the Foxhound rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162715) which was working fine the whole time
What are my options? I dont have insurance but i was considering to get i. so i could them to replace it but not sure if i could get another since im sure the warranty is void since ive rooted my phone and put a new rom on. If that's not an option then i wouldn't mind opening my phone to try and fix it myself if someone could point me in the right direction. Annnnnd if that's not an option how much could i sell it for as it is? ive still got the box and stuff lol
oh yeah when i say i cant turn it on i dont mean bootloop i mean it wont even vibrate when i press the on button tried soft and hard reset ive opened the phone and tried cleaning it out and i cant get into recovery or download obviously because it wont turn on

If you already changed the battery and the phone doesn't boot, neither in download nor in recovery mode, the only thing you can try is to go the the store/service center and ttry to get a warranty replacement.
If the phone is "dead", they won't be able to check if it is rooted or has a custom ROM.
Good luck !

thanks yeah i was planning to do this later today anyway. but i open the pone so will they know?
Ok they phoned me and told me because its rooted id have to pay. plus i need a new motherboard which will cost 163.21 or someting. sould i get it dont or just get the phone back and sell it?
Oddly enough after they said they wont fix it without me paying a lot since its rooted i just went a took my phone back tried to turn it on for the sake of it and it worked dont know what they did but at least im getting my pictures for now. ill see if it breaks again
Last night I was able to root my phone flashed the recovery mod and used the overclocked kernel that was listed in the dev forums for my phone. The phone was running fine until I went to bed, this morning I had woke up and went to look at my phone and it was off. Thinking the battery died while I left it unplugged all night I found meh.. might be the reason. Let the phone charge while I was in the shower for about 15 minutes got out and tried to turn the phone on and unable to get a response. Tried to boot the phone to Odin mode with no luck also tried getting my computer to pick up the device with no luck at all. Few questions, is my phone bricked? If so I've only had the phone for 15 days do you think I would have any luck getting the phone replaced at a store? and is there anyway that they would be able to tell that I had rooted my phone flashed recovery and installed a kernel if I cant even get the phone to respond in any way shape or form? Any advice you have or situations where you where in the same boat would be a great help. Thanks again.

Indeed sir, removed the battery let it sit for a minute or two...
According to your post...You are bricked
Samething happend to me..just few days ago but my phone was out of warranty...so I need to pay for ...a board change (I9100) tht was the solution for me not for uh
Now as you said ...if you are fully bricked and you just bought the phone 15 days ago ...then you have still 99.9% chances that they will replace your main board
....
Last year when I bought my phone S2...after some time when I came hyr on xda rooted my phone ...once I bricked ...so I went to samsung care ...and made a story...and bang they taken my phone got my job sheet ...and after 4 days got my phone they changed my main board...
Main topic...they can't check whtr you are rooted...or not if you are bricked fully...so just visit samsung care...and make a fake story...all set just sit back for few days ...

As I had mentioned this morning I woke up and plugged my phone in for a good 15-20 minutes while I took a shower. There after when I looked at my phone it didn't show as if it was even charging most of the time it will at least show a charging logo. I let the phone sit plugged in for about 45 minutes and tried to soft reboot the phone holding volume and power still nothing came of it. Had taken the battery from the phone and put it back in with the same process to no success. I had removed the SIM Card from the phone replaced it back in the device and as soon as I plugged in the phone it showed the phone was charging. From that point I was able to reboot the phone with no issues.
I was worried due to the fact I had flashed the kernel last night and was toying with the settings given in the stweek that came after I flashed the recovery and kernel using the recovery options on reboot. Really don't have an idea as to why I had the issue that I had. But at the end of the day I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for a replacement.

So you already tried the factory reset?
It is on stock rom?
Than send it in for warranty or bring it back to where you bought it and claim a new one.

If they can't give you the same phone again, they have to repair it or refund you.
With the money you get you can buy what ever you like.

Did you solve your problem? Mine has the same problem.
I broke the digityzer and bought a new one. After i replace the touch screen it started rebooting when the screen time out.
I tried everything i can remember (swap new touch screen with old one / factory settings / disable knock code as suggested on other sites ) with no luck.
Searching the web i found many people with this problem. Any help or info would be appreciated.
Did anybody solve the problem. I have the same issue after digitizer replacement.
Same issue
after many years, is there any update regard on this issue
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...
Hi, I'm new in this but I'm also desperate for help. For starters, I live in Venezuela so it's a bit troublesome to visit a proper tech service and stuff. Well, as I said in the title, the problem with my phone is that it keeps getting stuck in the LG logo. I've already flash it several times, but this solution only seems to work for a few days. I'll explain the problems in a chronological order
1) I dropped my phone in january and the screen broke, so I bought a new one along with a new touch screen. At that time, the only problem that I had was that, even though I had a SIM card in my phone, it didn't have any mobile network signal. I tried many things but gave up on that and the problem's still with me
2) In an attempt to fix that issue, I factory reseted my phone and since that time I got the feeling that something was off with my device but I dind't pay attention to it cos my phone was working appareantly fine
3)After that my device started to get laggy and I tought it was the battery because sometimes it was at 87% and when you turn it off and turn it on again, the battery was at 67% in an instant. It wasn't that bad so I kept using it like that
4) Sometime around last month my phone reboot itself (it was usual that when my device got reaaally laggy it reboots itself). The problem was that it got stuck in the LG logo so I look for solutions and end up flashing it.
5) It worked for a few weeks but the cycle started again. Laggy and then stuck in LG logo. I bought a new battery (wich works fine) thinking that this would solve the problem so I did a factory reset, flash it and then turn it on but the problem still didn't go away.
I'm desperate for help cos I need my phone to work and since I live in Venezuela, I really need the money and obviosuly, I can't afford to buy a new device. Could someone help me?
A little note here. I tried upgrading the software using "LG Mobile Support Tool 2014" but the app shuts down before downloading the upgrade. I don't know if it's due to my laptop being really old (Acer Aspire 5920). I know I have A LOT of troubles but I'm in need of a friendly help!
