How to Fix Your LG G4 that won’t Turn on or Boot Up
LG phones are some of the best products on the market – but no company is immune to technical foibles. But, unfortunately, the consumer level, a phone that will not turn on properly boot up is pretty worthless. You may be experiencing this problem if you’re phone does not turn on, or starts and then shuts off.
Luckily, if you are experiencing this problem with your LG G4 phone, there’s a solution – and you can have your phone up and running again a no time. Always remember that if your phone is damaged or the body of the phone is physically broken, the best option is always to make an appointment at the retail location where you purchased your phone, or a retail location for your carrier that sells LG G4’s.
If your LG G4 won’t turn on
simply follow these steps:
- Connect the charger that came with your LG G4 into your phone and an applicable wall socket. Wait several minutes, and then attempt to turn on your phone.
- If that does not work, inspect your phone to make sure neither the charger or your bad report are damaged. Inspect the back of the phone to check for any overheating issues. Make sure that no dirt for other debris is stuck inside the charting port. Do the same once you remove the battery from the back phone. Dirt and debris may find its way under the battery and cause issues with the phone.
- Next, if your phone will still not turn on by itself, attempt a forced restart. Press and hold the power keeper 30 seconds. Once the phone begins to turn on, you can release the power key. Afterwards, always be sure to verify that your phone is running the most recent software. You can do this by checking for software updates from your settings menu. If not, install any and all updates. These are released to ensure your phone’s maximum efficiency.
- If you still experience trouble, you can perform a hardware factory reset via an LG dealer or a carrier retail location that specializes in LG phones. Beware that a hardware factory reset will erase everything on your phone that did not come pre-installed – and the data will be permanently lost.
- make sure device is off (you can simply remove the battery then put it back in)
- press and hold the volume down button and the power key simultaneously for a couple seconds then release, Android System recovery screen should appear
- scroll down by pressing the volume down key to wipe data/factory reset and press power key to select
- scroll down again by pressing volume down key to yes and press the power button
after data is wiped, press the power key to reboot
- master reboot should initiate and your phone should be back to original factory settings
When in doubt, always make an appointment with an LG dealer or a retail location specializing in LG phones. Today, consumers need their phones more than ever. Make sure that your phone is healthy and functional by following these simple steps.

nope not just g4 my lg v10 died and is doing same thing just stuck on boot screen now and sometimes green screen saying demigod kernel crash but mostly just stuck on boot screen. Useless and cost too much for this to be happening had less than 1 yr
My LG G4 phone just died. The LG / android screen shows but nothing else. Won’t turn on or off. Tried removing the battery and it sort of tried to boot up but only for seconds, then right back to that same screen. I have NEVER had this happen with any phone. If I lose all of my pics and phone #s when I take it into Sprint tomorrow, that will be the last time I ever buy an LG. It’s only about a year old!
My LG G4 power off automatically yesterday.
cannot power on till now.
Many customer face this problem. Bye bye LG.
SO BUTT HURT! I never thought I’d care so much about an electronic device, but when my LG G4 died this morning I was in tears. I’ve tried all of these steps and nothing is working. I watched a YouTube video and the dude suggested to put it in the freezer… so will let you know how that turned out… Honestly I’m glad I’m not the only person this is happening to. Never buying LG again!
WTF this is f***ing bulls**t I save up my money for my 18 yr old daughter a graduation present no one on our house has ever had a NEW phone I just don’t have it like that single mother of 3 girls 19,17, and 15. I can’t afford to send it off what does she use till they send it back. Then we loss that time on her phone which I couldn’t afford to begin with much less just wasting minutes for them to fix there f**k up. Why is none of this on any reviews, …Anywhere. . I’m so F**king p***ed my nose has started bleeding ??????
Mine just died today. Had it since Feb. 2016. It turns on to the LG screen and then shuts back off. Then I have to remove the battery to turn it back on, where it does the same thing all over again. I tried plugging it in, and waiting, and holding the button for 30 seconds…. Nothing is working. My last LG sucked too. I’ll be going back to Apple products after this. this phone will be a nice addition to my trash can.
Mine died yesteday!!! Out of warranty…:(…FY LG.
Question to ppl in this thread: Is it ONLY the G4 that everyone is having issues and trouble with, or any other LG phones? I have a newer LG phone, and two days ago, I woke up in the morning to what I expected to be a fully charged and functioning phone, only to discover it wouldn’t power up. It went to the bootloop “Life is good (oh, the irony) twice, maybe three times, and after that, nothing. No red light when plugged in to charge, won’t go to the boot screen, literally dead! GOOO figure, it’s 2 weeks out of warranty. I’m royally pissed off. It’s the Stylo 2 model, a year and, as per LG customer service, 2 weeks old. Crooks. Consumerism at it’s finest. G just slapped hundreds of (broke) customers in the face, collectively. I’m wondering if anyone outside of the G4 owners had this issue, or if I’m the lone unlucky schmuck?
Today my LG4 died it wont turn on today:((((( WTF I is going on !!!!
Wow! LG received my G4 last Friday and it’s been repaired (free) and already on it’s way back. Should be here on this Friday. That’s pretty fast!
