as of this morning, this randomly happen. every 5 mins or so, it restarts on it's own.
yes i have tried to turn it off and on again.
is there anything i can do beside factory reset?
That's pretty annoying. Is it stock? Any new apps installed recently?
Easy thing is try to clear cache (either the bootloader method which should work on stock, I think) or the settings method listed as the first comment. both here)

stock, no new apps, just some updates last night. i have very few apps on my phone, mostly regular stuff (facebook, twitter, tumblr, maybe 5 games, all roughly legit and on my phone for quite a long time now)

deleted cache, rebooted the phone, still f*cking up. it's already a pain to try to shut it down since it REOPENS ON ITS OWN LIKE A GHOST-POSSESSED MACHINE OF INFAMY FROM HELL

that's it. most of those free games have very minimal thing/restrictions/permission they use/need, if any.
Try rebooting in safe mode (hold down power button to get menu, hold down power off in the menu and choose to reboot in safe mode) and see if it lasts longer. If it does, that tells you it is an app, not a problem with a core android process or whatever (YMMV).
If that fails, e.g. you still get a reboot pretty soon after, I'd try backing up your phone and flashing to stock (or Android 5.0, since you're wiping it anyways and Android 5.0 is pretty slick). A relatively easy backup procedure is available here, which issues the adb commands for you, but you need to have adb setup beforehand (google's guide here).

welp, just did a factory reset. still not finding mobile network, and just rebooted like a piece of shit it is. when i called google cust services, they redirected me to LG since i didnt bought the phone on google store.
If you did a factory reset and it is still rebooting, it's either something wrong with core software (unlikely? but you could try to flash the 5.0 OS I mentioned above) or hardware, which means you need a new phone.

this is most likely what's happening right now. since it's not just the rebooting, it's the "not finding mobile network".
As far as not getting on the mobile network, you could try popping your SIM out and reseating it. I've had that fix mobile issues before on many devices.

believe me i've tried everything. now LG is telling me to go to my carrier to give them the phone so they will send it for repair. so i lost a day of school today stuck on customer services, and now i have to lose another one to drag my ass to the mall to give them my phone, instead of shipping it myself.

I used to have this problem with my Nexus 5. I fixed it by changing my preferred network to 3G and selecting a different carrier access point.
Give it a shot and see if it helps
