Chosen Solution
Is there a way to get my photos off my LG v10 once it is stuck in the boot loop? Is there a way I can take out the memory and put it into another device to recover it? Every once in a blue moon the v10 will come on and work but only for a minute. Never long enough to transfer data. Then It freezes and upon restart, we get stuck on the Lg life is good logo. Any suggestions? Mise à jour (26/01/2018) 98% of the time it sits at the LG good life screen. If I haven’t tried to mess with it in a week, it will boot up and but once I get into the photo app or any other app, the phone locks up on that screen and I have to pull the battery out to get it to turn off.
I’ve been down this path with my LG G4 when I had to choose between the phone or the final photos of the cat I can’t replace. The problem is these phones have a serious issue with the motherboard that’s reportedly due to the PMIC, but the issue with fixing them is you are gambling on if it will be reliable. Consider this fix a TEMPORARY DATA RECOVERY solution, NOT A REPAIR. The problem with repairing them is LG has been vague about the exact cause, so we don’t have anything to work with at a professional level to help folks like you save it beyond speculation, making our best solution data recovery and a new phone from another manufacturer. This refusal to repair them is further supported by the fact you can get a phone from any other manufacturer without this many unknowns, and who will try and do more then LG. This isn’t the first time LG has had issues but the G4/V10 and a few others were class action bad for once. My first LG was stolen before I had to take a hairdryer to it like my G4. Generally, a hot air reflow station is better then a hairdryer but the hairdryer is going to be more common. You can read my procedure here to reflow it and recover your data: How do I get the phone working for data recovery? The disassembly of your V10 looks similar to my G4 I used to use, but I’d recommend following the guides for the V10 to avoid missing any steps that are different. The G4 was my 2nd and final LG to this very day, and I now buy my phones outright - I haven’t looked back since because phones are too expensive to ignore the risk of a similar flaw coming back and have stood firm on this since 2017.
it might not be possible due to the way the phones are made. No the memory chip can not be moved to another device for data recovery because it is soldered to the motherboard and without proper soldering skills and tools you are almost out of luck. Does it make any attempt to boot or just sit at the LG life good screen and not boot into android at all?
