Just updated BRAND NEW LG G5 to Android 7. Now it is stuck in a boot loop. Starting from the "Android is starting" message with a status bar that begins at 28% then reaches 100%. After that it goes to the LG start up logo and is stuck in a loop. then I'm redirected back to the "Android is starting" screen and it reloads to 100%, then back to the LG logo, etc...   Please help!

Try doing a hard reset of the phone, and that may kick it free from the boot loop. I believe it is by holding power and volume down till it reboots. If you get to the factory erase screen. Do not hit yes unless you want to wipe the phone

Tried the hard reset by holding the power and volume down but I can't even turn the phone off unless I pull the battery. Pulled the battery and it brings me back to the boot loop before sending me back to the "Android is starting..." screen

So far that's not working. Tried the hard reset by holding the power and volume down but I can't ...after speaking with an LG rep and Koodo support it looks like I need a new phone. This is after my original LG G3 stopped working last week, they sent me a replacement that was malfunctioning so bad I had to ask for a replacement for the replacement. So I decided to just get a NEW phone, which arrived today. This phone is literally hours old.

Hard reset is invalid? Ok, although I didn't use it. The same problem occurred when my Android phone was physically damaged. Fortunately, I used recovery mode or CWM to fix LG stuck in boot loop problem, but I'm not sure which one is working.
