  • Update: Samsung K3QF3F30BM-QGCF 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM eMMC chip is the fault. I am investigating if replacing the chip will be a permanent repair. I am looking for anyone willing to let me test this repair their phone.
    LG is offering warranty replacement or refunds, even outside of warranty. The featured procedure is temporary repair to retrieve data from your phone. The fault appears to be in the RAM chip and not the solder underneath. I have repaired several phones with this procedure and they have all lasted between 3 and 14 days.

    So far, so good. Good enough to backup data. Fingers crossed it stays long enough I can get my money's worth out of this phone. I was skeptical buying the 5x because I had 2 Nexus 5s prior to this that both fell into bootloops. I suppose my skepticism was validated...again. Thanks for this post!

    I wonder if this is partly due to the lead free solder being more susceptible to cracking as the CPU & RAM expand and contract as the CPU heats up during use. Could reballing both the RAM and the CPU with old school leaded solder be more of a permanent fix?

    Great video, very informative. I have a bit of a different problem... I can't get my phone to turn on or even take a charge unless one special battery back which is super old and I assume doesn't have some sort of overfeed protection... It happened after a beta update to 8.0...before that the phone was getting very hot and extremely sluggish.
    After watching your video I decided that it's possible that there was a defective solder joint on the main board where the USB type-c port may have been damaged... I inspected everything and didn't see any visible cues... Do you have any other recommendations?

    Hi! I'm having a similar boot loop problem with my Nexus 5. My first idea was that only the power button is failing (a new one is on the way), but i tried to wash it through with contact spray, even with wd-40, since i had nothing to lose. But it had no effect. Do you have any idea, how could i test if the power button is the problem, or something like the one in your video? I'm afraid i have to start looking for a new phone... :/

  • @SimonGjerX
    @SimonGjerX 5 лет назад +1

    Worked for me.
    First we used a flux pen as this was the only flux we had. We applied the flux over all the "faulty" chip and all the components and chips around the "faulty" chip.
    We then heated the motherboard with a common household heatgun and had a thermometer (thermocouple) located just above the chip in question. Note we could not focus the heat to only the faulty chip as our heatgun had a big nossel. We approximately used the following heat profile: 100C for 1min, 150C for 1min, 210C for 50sec, 150C for 1min and finally 100C for 1min. The temperature was adjusted by simply moving the heatgun closer or further away.
    We did not clean the motherboard for residual flux as we forgot to do so - and btw there was also no flux residues to be seen.
    I will update this comment if our fix continue to work or not.
    ...Update: The fix worked for only one day :-(

    Strange that on two occasions mine bootlooped and the first one stopped after Factory Reset. The second incident got fixed by uninstalling Shareit.
    Other vids recommended using a copper plate heatsink.

    Worked for me! Thanks!
    But I did not do everything in this video.
    I extracted the mainboard and removed all plastic parts and rubber parts. After that I protected the rest of the sensitive components with aluminium foil, such as the standby button and and the volume rocker, the sim card tray and the proximity/lux sensor. Than I used a heat gun (approx 180 °C for 90 seconds) to heat up the same chip like in this video. After cooling down I assembled everything and it started successfully for 2 minutes. After that the bootloop started again.
    So I repeated the process with approx 210 °C. But directly after the 90 seconds of heating up I pushed the chip gently towards the mainboard with a wooden stick. After cooling down and assembling, it works permanently for me. Never had a bootloop again.
    I recommend to assemble the phone completely except of the back cover with the NEXUS text on it. But I would assemble the cooling plate and the plastic backplate and also the screws, because they are pressing the heat spreader against the chips. So if it continoues to boot but because of heating issues, this wont help you.
    I did not use any fluid or (ESD-)toothbrush. Just heat.
    I had a heat gun without temperatur adjustment. I measured the temperature before with my weber grill temperatur indicator. So not that accurate, that is why I started a little bit lower.
    So if you tried it and you got only a temporarily fix, just try it again with pushing the chip gently downwards. Maybe this will work for you.

  • @kurtwagner8537
    @kurtwagner8537 4 года назад

    What happens when the SoC gets in direct contact with the heat ?? It had worked the first time then the error came again. I did it again and the device worked again. The device has no root and the bootloader is too. I installed Substratum the next morning and Andromeda from XDA ran the script on the pc. Later, the device did not start anymore and stayed in fastboot mode. Now it does not start anymore. So I ask if it can be that it does not start because the Snapdragon was too hot. because otherwise everything looks good. ??????

    I sent mine into LG for the bootloop, but they apparently found "water damage" and they did not repair it (there was no water damage, and I have since learned they commonly use this excuse). They sent it back (after getting $19.95 for a diagnostic fee), but when I opened it, I realized they left out the L-shaped EMF metal shield. I am going to call them (preparing to be frustrated), but in the meantime, is it okay to use it without that shield?

    Reeeeealy great video, man. Thank you. I will try your method this week. Can you please tell me what was that on the syringe? Can I use a "regular" Heatgun?

    • @ICDTTechnologies
      @ICDTTechnologies  6 лет назад +3

      Thank you so much for the compliment. The syringe is Chip Quick No-clean Flux. It helps transfer heat to the chip and prevents the solder joints around the chip from oxidizing. I also do not recommend a heat gun, because it blasts a heat at a wide area. Also, the air speed on a heat gun is too fast, even on low setting. It may be too fast and you risk blowing components out of place or off the board. Please let me know how it turns out.

    • @dedadoblack
      @dedadoblack 6 лет назад

      I'm in Brazil...the "Chip Quick No-clean Flux" I never heard from and I think it will be hard to find. The machine you used I have never seen it too. =/ Just got cold feet after this informations. hehehehe....Should I isolate the others components from the heat gun blast with Tin Foil?

    • @ICDTTechnologies
      @ICDTTechnologies  6 лет назад +1

      The flux can be found on Amazon.
      smile.amazon.com/ChipQuik-SMD-291-Clean-Syringe-Nozzle/dp/B00CM2A97S/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1500874596&sr=8-5&keywords=no+clean+flux
      The machine is called a hot air rework station. You can use a budget hot air station, but if you only have a heat gun, use a laser thermometer. And if you want to isolate the chip, I would use kapton tape. It has a very high resistance to heat.

    • @ICDTTechnologies
      @ICDTTechnologies  6 лет назад +1

      Thank you for posting. Most hair dryers have a max temp of around 150° - 200° F. They do not get hot enough to reflow the solder. Also, the spray was not water. It was 91% isopropyl alcohol. There are many alternative manufacturers for the flux (I use ChipQuik). I recommend using only the "no-clean" flux. I also recommend using a hot air rework station, so that you can accurately control the temperature and airspeed. If you only have a heat gun, you should use a laser thermometer, to monitor the temperature of the board, and set the heat gun to the lowest airspeed.

    If you cannot afford a hot air station, take the cover off the phone and use a hair dryer on full heat for about 1:30 seconds around the area with the most surface area (processor area) after it's nice and hot, leave the cover off and try turning on your phone, it should boot long enough to retrieve your personal information. I was just given one of these phones and spent hours banging my head, I thought it was a software problem, here it was a hardware problem all along. (pretty common with processors that don't have adequate cooling) Anyway, if you want a decent phone, buy a Motorola, they are built like tanks.

      I am not sure I understand. If you are asking what I am putting on the chip before heating, that is ChipQuick No-clean Flux. If you are asking what the chip is, it is a dual layer chip with the eMMC RAM chip that is mounted on top of the SoC chip.

    What you're heating is the "Samsung K3QF3F30BM-QGCF 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM", not the eMMC

    • @ICDTTechnologies
      @ICDTTechnologies  6 лет назад +2

      You are right. However the RAM is an eMMC, which means that it has a contoller and flash memory in the same chip. I have found that the problem is inside the chip and not the solder. I will be rediting and reposting a new video on this, to include information on warranty replacement and refunding through LG and that this is a temp repair for data recovery.

    • @tonytran2145
      @tonytran2145 6 лет назад

      if it isnt the solder, do you still need flux when you use this heating method? or would just hitting the chip with heat do the same thing no matter what? I was thinking about picking up a cheap rework station (to have better control of temp and air flow rate) and some flux, but if its overkill for no reason, i have a standard heat gun that i can use. what do you think?

    • @nicolaschiodo5716
      @nicolaschiodo5716 6 лет назад +1

      Tony Tran I did it with a heat gun which has an air reductor so that the air comes out in a small area, the speed was too high though so I had to do it carefully. I didn't use flux. After doing it I could use the phone for at least one week, then it died again, I tried heating it again but it didn't worked.

    • @tonytran2145
      @tonytran2145 6 лет назад

      thanks for the reply Nicolas. 2 more questions, does your heat gun have speed settings? mine has a high and low, wondering if it'll still be too strong. next, how long did you apply heat for?

    • @nicolaschiodo5716
      @nicolaschiodo5716 6 лет назад

      Yes, I did it with low speed, it's maybe too much but I did it in an intermittent way, I can also regulate the temp on my heatgun, I don't remember how much time but remember that is a temporary fix, heat it not too much nor too little so you can recover your photos, if you live in USA you should call LG for the replacement/refunding.

    • @ICDTTechnologies
      @ICDTTechnologies  6 лет назад +2

      Thank you for posting. I am sorry that you are having trouble. I would recommend trying again. Maybe increase temp to 390°F - 400°F but no higher than 400°F. While you are heating the chip in a circular pattern, closely observe the small components around the chip for the solder reflowing (the solder will become shiney). At that point remove the heat and allow it to cool.

    @marcoesposito5819 6 лет назад

    i tried as in the video but nothing it started and after few minutes went down so i used another temperature cos 380 °F was not enough so i used for 1 minute 450 F with a peak of 500°F with a square tip for solder hot air. Now is working it s almost passed a day, it seems everything s ok. Anyway i putted a large piece of tape biadhesive in the rear of the chip, so it's more pressed.

    • @vladislavmatveev4655

    • @vladislavmatveev4655
      @vladislavmatveev4655 6 лет назад

Maybe you know?

    • @ICDTTechnologies
      @ICDTTechnologies  5 лет назад

      We recommend that you NEVER freeze your phone, when trying to repair it. This will promote condensation, which can lead to corrosion. We are still offering the data recovery service and LG and Google are still covering warranties on this fault.

      Thank you for your question. I am sorry that you are having trouble with your phone.

I would recommend inspecting the physical components, or trying the heat again. I wish you the best of luck.

  • @ariecopley-radder7018

    What you should do if you have this problem is, if you want to get the data off the phone, do this and get the data off it first, but if you don't care about the data on it you can skip that and follow this guide:forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/tool-bootloop-death-blod-workaround-t3819497
    If you want automatic updates, follow the directions in the second thread on that post. If you are going to do this I recommend also flashing an OmniROM-based ROM for the most seamless installation of updates.
    If you want increased security, you can generate your own signing keys and replace the ones in the zip with them, then transfer the updated zip to your phone.

      Julian Teoh I am sorry you don't have the warranty and support that we have here. There is no way for me to know how this works in other countries. I titled my video the way I did on purpose, as I believe it is truly the only viable option for: fixing the bootloop in a way that does not void the warranty, fixing the problem for free, and fixing the problem in a way which provides a 90 day warranty on the work; all through the manufacturer of the device. I want those who do have the warranty option (but do not know that) to see this option first; before they destroy their phones or have a false sense of security that their phone is fixed, when the problem will just return again. If you want your phone to work, just know that the problem is a bad motherboard. That is what LG replaced in my phone. I hope you can find a reliable repair shop that can replace that part for a reasonable price. I don't know of any other real solution for you.
