LG G Flex 2 H950 Random rebooting

Hi guys!
I bought one of those LG G Flex 2 H950 @ US$249 on eBay from Qualitycellz. However, my unit seems to have some issues...
It does not matter what I am doing on my phone, does not matter whether I am using a SIM-card or not (I tried the phone with and without Sim-Card), my phone keeps rebooting on various situations, meaning that there is no pattern or logic on those restarts. Usually I am just casually using my LG G Flex 2 and bang, the phone restarts. I can't find any meaning at all. I have looked it up but I could not find anyone with a similar issue, nor a solution.
What makes it even more crazy is the fact that I have tried numerous factory resets, as well as installing a new ROM! (I have installed the H950PR 5.1.1 ROM over the 5.0.2 AT&T one), however the phone is still not working properly. I could swear the problem was the ROM, but it looks like it is not.
What can I do about it?! I live overseas so returning the phone to get a new one is not an option, and warranty for LG is not international :crying:
Thank you and best regards.

The phone has a hardware defect most likely. I had this problem with my G2 a few months after I purchased it. Regardless of temp or ROM the phone would reboot all the time.

I see. And how did you solve the problem in the end?
If this is really a hardware problem, I am helpless, I guess...since I am not in the United States right now.

It was never resolved, actually got worse ha-ha. Sometime in Aug or July it stopped going into the OS so I started disassembling it out of frustration. Also linked the wrong post.

Exact same issue
I also bought an lg g flex 2 from ebay user qualitycellz. I also do not live in the US. My phone started doing these resets and it got to the point at which it gave up and just wont start... (It tries and tries again until i plug it in or it runs out of charge). There seems to be something dodgy with the seller and I will be emailing him regarding the issue.

Chiming in here, same issue, same ebay seller. Any updates from you guys?

Same issue here. To turn device back on I have to hit the power and the volume down. If I upgrade to marshmallow will it fix the issue?

My phone reboots when i use 4G, i now only use 3G to avoid any problem, but that's annoying

To bump my previous post, I talked to LG, they claimed a motherboard problem and will be replacing it under warranty.

Same problem here

I too had this same problem for past 2 month's.It all started with the mobile restarting randomly ..2 days ago it stopped to boot up at all.:crying:
It just keeps bootlopping on the LG screen .turns off and again LG.
When I try to use it plugged in ,it works a but slower than normal.
I think it is a hardware issue.maybe with the battery?Guess only ?
Anyone here has a solution ?I am currently outside us .:crying:

I have the same issue with my Flex -2 purchased from same seller last year August.
I also bought an lg g flex 2 from ebay user qualitycellz. I also do not live in the US. My phone started doing these resets for last 4 days. It tries and tries again until i plug it in and press power button. If I disconnect from the wall, it stopped working. But since yesterday it got to the point at which it gave up and just wont start. I see only the LG screen flashing. If I press the power buton

You'll have to send it in. It's a hardware bootloop problem. Only LG can fix it unfortunately.

Solved
I have changed battery. No more problem with randomly reboot.

Lg flex 2 restarting problem
I tried a lot of things but now i am sure this is a battery problem ,i noticed that when i charge my phone to 100 percent it started normally so every time i charge it all the way to 100 percent it works and when i dont it just restarts so you have 2 options to replace the battery or charge your phone fully every time
Hope this one helped

My G flex 2 also started doing the same. Seller was also the same qualitycellz from ebay.

My flex2 also started random reboots. Once mainboard was changed because there was bootloop issue, but now its a bit different. Also a bit over one year with a new board.. Maybe the reason of it is battery because its quite old. well, I need to wipe it clean just in case.

Haha... Your story is exactly as mine. The random rebooting got worse for me over the span of a week and now it reboots after a second of staring up. So it's basically bricked.:crying:

LG G4 AT&T gets heated up , crashes and switches off. [EMERGENCY]

My LG G4 AT&T switched itself off yesterday suddenly , after that it turned back on normally. But after some time it happened again and when I try to switch it back on it tries to boot but after LG logo , sometimes at LG logo it gets heated up and gets turned off. It gets heated up near camera area, I reset my phone . Last night I left my phone charging and today it turned back on for some time. When I turned it off to insert sim and memory card , it didn't get turned on. As it is an emergency and currently I cant get my phone to any shop , can anyone suggest me a way to fix this , given my zero experience with hardware and some with software. Sorry if my english is bad . Thanks .

It's either battery or hardware failure. Hate to give bad news but hardware failure with the G4 is extremely common. Only fix is a board replacement. Others have been able to temp revive them by placing them in an oven etc but that's not recommended.

First of all thanks , I was freaking out . So what would have you done if it would have happened to you? Given I can't take this phone to a repair shop , as I fried up my second LG G4 , first one was Verizon ( Leave that part ) and my parents are gonna kill me when they find out . So should I even bother buying another battery and try inserting it into my phone and check ? or it will not be helpful ? What should I do ?
Did I say thanks ?

Your very welcome. You could try another battery. But if you just Google LG G4 bootloop you'll see it's a huge issue LG will warranty it as long as there's no damage.

I bought it off some ebay seller , so I guess there's no warranty for it . I live in India and its an imported version and there's no AT&T service centers here and neither LG Service centers will lay their hands on it . So if its the case with hardware failure , I guess I should buy a board and get it replaced . I think first I am going to try replacing battery , if it works out then great else I guess I will be in huge problem . Appreciate the help.!

S6 Freeze/bootloop out of the blue

So had this phone for a while now and no problems, been running nougat for the past few months, this morning took my phone off charge and placed in pocket. A bit later I checked my phone, it was not responsive a black screen, did a hard reset does the samsung logo then gets stuck either flashing blue or pink. So leave it until I get home, flash latest nougat with odin installs fine, reboots and does same thing freezes at boot samsung flashing blue. Flash it again and now its froze after its said erasing...
I think something has failed hardware wise, any others had this issue?.

Just install "CPU awake" from play store, this will help you keep the device working, this problem is very common in each & every Samsung flagship, starts after 2 year use(won't ever buy a Samsung flagship again), no fix for it, if you don't believe me, check Evey flagship forum q/a section.

That app is useless, in that case completly useless. That app just won't allow CPU's get to deep sleep. But in him case that looks like just next S6 who get hardware broken from unknown reasons

Really? I have a note 4 , exactly same problem, that app gave it new life & not just mine, many note 4 users are using it who are facing the same problem, so, next time instead of just posting nonsense, do some research.

He even cannot turn on the phone, maximum what he can see is SAMSUNG logo so what the **** you are talking about turning on some app on working system?

That's a nand problem, if the device is cooled (I hold mine in front of AC for 5min.), that will help it to turn on & once it's on, install the app & it will work fine but it shouldn't be allowed to shutdown or it has to be cooled down again, it's not a new problem, thousands of Samsung mobiles which ship with faulty nand face the exact same problem, I know it sounds silly, it is what it is & it works(for thousands users)

rifek4 said:
Never before heard bullshits like that. Can you give some link to any information which will confirm that what you told so that a CPU Awake app will fix broken Samsung device? Please about it.
P.S.
I could'nt find anything about it :laugh:

Enough with your bull****, here, take a look...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/note-4-freezing-restarting-t3348821
Read it, on almost every page someone recommended using cpuwake, it's not my problem that you are such a fool who instead of trying to help someone with some advice, would just bash other people who have faced similar issues & maybe know the solution. You can go **** yourself for all I care.

Rishi is correct about cpu awake on the Note 4. It is commonly viewed as a means of extending the life of the Note 4 but eventually the phone will fail.

Starting problem

Hello, after screen replacement, mother board flex replacement, when I start the phone I have nothing on the screen running only a red and green light on the top of the phone. I have disconnected the battery and load again but still the same. I tried power and volume down or up but still the same problem. I try with other screen but the problem is still there. Some people can help me in the diag and solution to resove ?
Many thanks for your help

I maybe have the same problem on my BKL-L09, my phone just show the screen a split second and then it is black screen all the time. I started having these problems after I installed the latest magisk (The old v.17). And also, I can get to TWRP anymore, both official and unofficial TWRP. I'm guessing it's the internal partition problem (funkyhuawei's unbrick service shows all the partitions). I guess we just gonna have to wait for the Honor View 10 SP Flash Tool or something... (BTW, I already know the tool : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...ol-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3776736 but, it is not supported yet.) I hope someone does it fast and for free if possible, because we're community and if someone is having the same problem, we can easily help them. And that is what community does.
