LG USA will give you a full refund if your Nexus 5X is stuck in a boot loop

24 November 2016
If you have an LG Nexus 5X bought from the US, you might be among the unlucky few whose devices have been stuck in a boot loop. This basically renders the handset unusable, since it never successfully completes a boot after entering this state. It's definitely not the first LG handset to have this issue, by the way. But there's some good news for owners of affected Nexus 5X units.

Thousands of G4 bootlooped but LG never acknowledged the problem publicly. No official announcement and recall. Bye LG, I'm happy with my S7 edge and you will never get my money again. At least Samsung is willing to offer global recall for N7.

      mir, 25 Nov 2016So even with stock android, LG phones still manage to go in... moreIt doesnt matter which os it runs, its a hardware flaw, probably motherboard problems. So it would still loop even with lagwiz. Got mine running 7.1 beta, no problems so far.

          LG should fix the shattergate of V20.

          https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/5eltza/my_camera_glass_cracked/

          More and more people have the issue of cracked camera glass of V20. It's a design flaw in V20. They used a single big piece of glass, that's why it is fragile. As you know, the larger the surface area, the more likely it will break. They should have to use small glass pieces for each camera and it would not be fragile. And also maybe there is manufacturing flaw in the glass.

                  d, 25 Nov 2016true but we are not talking about dead N7.Everything with a li-ion battery could potentially blow up. Only Samsung has had a lot of those cases recently. And not limited to the Note 7.

                    But which component is causing the boot loop? The SD808 (also on the G4)? The camera? The LG logo?

                        So even with stock android, LG phones still manage to go into bootloop. Good thing they weren't allowed to make anymore phones for Google.
