Factory reset worked for me, and good thing is that my all data is safe, nothing is deleted. 🙂

Please Help me! when i was using my LG G4 is suddenly hang and make a noise peeep, and its not turn off i remove the battery and plot again but my mobile not give any response
Hi Faiq,
I tried this, but the phone is tuck on factory reset page. what to do?
DO NOT update android os on your G4. Sooner or later it will be stuck to LG logo screen. And there’s nothing u can do, unless go to LG and replace the mainboard.
Do I have to do something to factory restart or just follow the steps and that will factory restart automatically?
MY lg g4 camera is so bad , its not good at all , any one have this problem ?
Try wiping cache before factory reset. Depending on what causes the boot loop sometimes thats all it takes, and no loss of data.
Just heat the crap out of it! Use a hair dryer at close distance. Remove the battery, sim and sd card first. Worked for me.
Thanks for the tip. I followed the instructions in this article, read all the comments and applied all the tip, nothing worked.
I finally used a hair dryer like you mentioned and it worked!
Had to apply several times (maybe 4-5 times of 15-20 seconds each). Then re-did the factory reset process and it worked. Thanks again.
(had nothing to lose anyway since i was out of warranty.
Steps mentioned above is not workin my phone still stuck on lg animation logo. what i should do next to resolve this issue kindly assist ..
thanks
hey you still stuck? i have same problem with you
mine got stuck too.. what i did (this is just a temporary solution) drain your battery first. then when the screen shows it’s in 0%, charge it for 3 minutes (advisable is 3 minutes!) and also you should see a red light blinking on the upper left side of the phone. after that, remove the charger/cord and hold the power button to open.. then check if there’s a light blinking on the upper left side of the phone – w/c is color blue i think.. if there is, just wait for it to load and take you to your homescreen! once you’re in your homescreen immediately charge the fone.. that’s it.. already working. Disclaimer: this is temporary, there’s still a possibility that the phone will bootlooped again.. as per reviews, the solution is to replace the motherboard but it will cost a lot if the phone is no longer in warranty. My phone bootlooped again for the 2nd time (when i was checking my mom’s albums in FB and listening to spotify at the same time) so i think once your fone is working, just use it lightly, use it for just sms. hoe this helps!
PS: don’t let let the battery drain. charge it immediately once the battery is just 15%
I’ve tried but this doesn’t work!! When I tried charging the phone, it turns itself on and goes into bootloop… Then it will heat up and doesn’t respond to anything. Have to remove the battery! What to do??
Anyone, who can’t deal with the problem!

Lg h810
Tried according to your instructions. Got to the reset menu, made the choices, then the phone went black. Waited a couple minutes – nothing. Finally removed the battery again, now I don’t even get the LG Logo screen – just black screen with no indication of anything happening, whether I use the power or the the power +volume down buttons.
It didn’t work.. I tried the sequence many times; finally got through all the steps right to the point the little green man came up for a little bit; the logo came back, then everything died.. The problem came so sudden, right after app update while charging the phone.. I cannot believe the phone just die like that..
Same thing to me, the Green men show up and after few second came back to the start up screen LG and it is looping again 🙁 . I am so sad.
My LG G4 is still turning on and off, It won’t let me go onto the factory reset menu while tring to turn it on. It will only let me see the IMU and MEI codes, Is there any other way? im not willing to pay when i already had to purchase the phone and seeing as how they’ve admitted to it being a defect in the system itself. Please let me know if you know of any other ways.
I’ve tried to reset it but it won’t select yes the 2nd time it a freeze up for a while then go back to the lg logo and that’s coming in and goin away.
My LG G4 stuck in LG logo screen and i’ve been trying to fix with this method but my phone freezes in Factory Reset screen. When i clicked yes it freezes up. What am i going to do?
tHE PROBLEM HAD NOT SOLVED.I HAVE LG-H818P
hello . i try to do the firmware but i dont know how to find the kdz files. pls help
I tried Jodrey’s method and my wife’s phone is now working. It was out of warranty so I had nothing to loose by applying heat. After three tries of applying heat to the logic board, the phone started up properly and seems to be working fine. I just hope none of the internal components are damaged.
How did you heat it up?
yeah how did you heat it up? i took it in to lg and they want me to pay 300 dollars to replace the motherboard, terrible customer care when lg has already admitted its a factory defect! so i guess this is the only option i have left as ive already spent a lot trying to get it to work.
I selected yes to reset its not happening.It’s being on the same screen numb nothing is happening but when i directly select ‘no’ it’s showing logo again
I have done everything you said and it still won’t turn on???
Hi.. May I know the Hardware revision number of your LG G4? Thanks!
I had the same issues. I decided to check online to source for solutions. Some people suggested it was hardware and some said software. I didn’t do hard reset. All I did was to uncouple the phone and applied heat to every part on the panel. At first the phone booted completely and started to restart continuously. I had to apply some more intensive heat. Finally it’s working.
tried this many times but the logo appears and shuts off auto and repeatedly.
Does not work. I get the same results as Danny
thanks this really worked since i only needed the phone to wiped out before sending out and this definitely accomplished it
but i connected the phone to computer before doing this since without that it didnt work.

Get a free new phone instead. You don’t know when it’ll happen again.
Hi Faiq. I have my phone set to charge only when connected to my PC. Is there any way I can change this when stuck in boot loop so that I can back up my photos before hard resetting?
Did not work for me. Gets stuck on the LG screen even after pressing Yes for reset and yes again to confirm. Tried it a couple times with no success.
Reflash the firmware on your phone.
Before I do the factory reset. Hoe can I back up my data’s pls advice
Transfer Pictures ad videos to your PC usin USB Data Cable and for contacts, sms backup, use Super Backup app. Here is the tutorial.
Hi Faiq,
I tried this, but the phone is tuck on factory reset page. what to do?
Just go to download mode, firmware install mode and install firmware again.
Please how because mine get stuck on factory reset
It did not work for me
It still is stuck in LG home screen 🙁
Flash the firmware again.
Can you explain how to do it?
Read the tutorial above. It’s explained in the above steps.
Thanjs Faiq
I dont want to loss the data
If there is any another option instead of resting to the factory setting??!!
Hi Hosam, Unfortunately there is no other way. This is the only way to resolve the bootloop issue.
If I do this will it delete my pictures and other date?
Yes,, your data will be deleted.
I tried this process countless times. Get to the option to reset factory default, select yes and goes back to the LG Logo Screen.
The phone reboots when you factory reset it. Wait for sometime when it goes to LG Logo Screen and after sometime it will show the homescreen. The first boot-up will take some time.
After i factory reset it, it goes back to LG logo screen and after a few secs it just turned off auto.
Recharge your phone battery.
That won’t work. This is an LG-admitted hardware issue with the mainboard. Mainboard replacement is the only solution.
