So, I was reading online reviews of the LG g4, and a lot of people complained of how their devices became useless after the dreaded bootloop issue. Though LG didn't initially admit to it being a hardware malfunction, but eventually did earlier this year, confirming that it is indeed a motherboard problem, and asked those affected to send in their devices for motherboard change.

Some people have also claimed that the only g4 devices that are vulnerable to the motherboard issue are those manufactured in 2015, typically having serial No.(MSN) starting with 5xxxxxxxx, with HW version 1.0. And that g4 devices manufactured in 2016, having serial No. (MSN) starting with 6xxxxxxxx, with HW version 1.1 don't have the motherboard issue.

For instance, if your serial No.(MSN) starts with 604xxxxx, means that your device was manufactured in April 2016. Your serial No and HW version are written behind the label where battery is placed, so pull the battery to check yours. Let us know what yours says.
