I was recently updating to JF's 1.5 update using the JF app. I installed the radio update prior to updating to the 1.5 firmware, and now my phone is stuck on the blue shining "android" logo. I have pulled the battery, and i have also tried two wipes, all with the same outcome...please help.
*update*
With lots of help, the issue was corrected through a system wipe and some coding
**will be psoting very soon what i did** (simply, i believe i just updated in recovery mode to a dev phone.)

Thanks, but my problem is, I can wipe and perform the update and use JF ADP1.5 but once I reboot I go into an endless loop. In the thread I posted above I actually have the output from adb

Hey what did you do because I'm having the same exact issue now. It's just getting stuck in an endless loop on the blue android screen
this happens after u update from rc33 jf w.e u have just take the battery out and do a whipe by hitting home+bak button while u start up and do a whipe and then restart your phone mayb take a min or 2 but it will fix the loop and after u should be able to start up regularly =] hope i helped

I dont know if you fixed your issue, mine turned out to be an issue form the Apps to SD. In the link I gave before from my thread I discussed what the cause was. And NOT wiping turned out to be the solution for me.
I had a similar issue looping on the blue android screen, first time i wipe but it repeated itself, though it was a app2sd problem but it wasn't, it was open home beta. Try that, maybe it will resolve your problem.
I had a similar problem when attempting to install JF 1.5. Im stuck on the G1 screen and can only access recovery and stock SPL..... any ideas? Do i need to re install test_keys.img....? Did wipe 3 times... no luck
These 2 roms are far from finished but this will give you guys a chance to play around a bit and possibily offer any insight on possible fixes
Both of these roms include my 1.51 ghz undervolted kernel
Which I have been getting stellar battery life from
Installation
​
place the rom anwhere on your sdcard (preferably the root)
boot into clockwork recovery turn off phone hold down voldown+power
wipe data and cache
then install the rom
note first boot may take a realllly long time just wait for it

CM didn't work for me. This is my first non-Moment ROM so I'm sure it's me.
I flashed CM from recovery. It said it completed fine. Selected reboot and got the CM boot screen. Got excited. Got less excited when the boot animation restarted on my. It then kept restarting until I pulled the battery.
So booted into recovery and cleared Dalvik. Rebooted. Same thing. Tried reflashing CM and cleared Dalvik then rebooted. Same thing.
Should I do a factory reset first? Can anyone see a step I missed?

I take it you are running a custom recovery? Boot into it and clear your cache and dalvik cache and then fix permissions. Usually force closes are permission issues. If it doesn't fix it maybe a factory reset? If that don't do anything either then just flash the JB rooted image with odin from here

Download that stock rooted JB image I linked to and flash it with odin. If you don't know how to use odin follow step 5 in this guide. Fixing permissions should only take a couple mins tops on a stock rom so something is probably corrupted and causing issues.

Ya i dont know what what that refers too either, you have a windows computer you can run it on then inside a VM?

Something is corrupt on the system is my guess. Im thinking your only option is to flash the os again.

by flashing you mean formatting? why would that do anything when it didnt do much the first time?
About 30 minutes ago my phone was working fine, the last thing I remember doing was sending a text. A few minutes later I look down at my phone and notice it is in recovery. At this point I'm confused wondering how it got there, but figure it's whatever and reboot into system. It reboots back into recovery and at this point I'm kinda freaking out. I do a backup, wipe, and restore from a backup ~2 weeks ago. Again, rebooting just causes my phone to go into recovery.
Earlier today there was a notification on my phone about an update but I just ignored it as I didn't have time to deal with it. I assume that it automatically was applied and that is what caused this problem.
edit: If you have this problem, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508

I turned off OTA from earlier today and also removed the notification using AppOps and now I can't boot to anything but TWRP

Gotta love XDA.. i was getting ready for bed.. saw a bright light, it was my phone. Same thing as mentioned. only rooted and bumped. Have been denying the OTA. Even did the hidden menu trick, but still got notifications for some reason. Flashing the ZIP showed success; trying to restore my back up now.

Once you flash the zip you shouldn't need to restore. I just clicked on reboot system and was back in

I mean I still have Root and TWRP, I might have factory reset in my panic last night before finding the fix above. Probably the cause of losing all my apps and data
ATTT Forced UPDATE
It would appear after cruising the forums this morning that ATT forced an update to all users last night. It happened to me and many others like yourself. even people that had turned off updates in the hidden menu. It is total crap and not to happy about it obviously. good thing it sent me into a boot loop, and @autoprime zip fixed me up, even though i was back up on stock rooted, I took this opportunity to move over to the PoweruserV1 international rom to attempt to keep this from happening again. Luckily our DEVS are getting development moving and soon this will be a thing of the past....
I froze Software Update with TB and did not get auto updated last night and have not gotten any new nags today. I did try to update yesterday and got the stuck in TWRP thing and flashed the fix to get back working.

whats the name of the apk to freeze? Thanks
Just adding to this, that it was 'forced' onto me as well, and also sent me to soft brick loop (TWRP), so I'm having to use the get out of jail thread. THANKS LG!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!! (#[email protected]%&*!!!!) This is the LAST time I trust another corporate BS liar's announcement that they care about the 'community' and are going to try and be nice 'from here on out'.

It is called Software Update in TB. I only have it frozen since last night so hopefully this does the trick...it also removes update option from settings FYI.
Anyone else have this happen again last night? Phone was fine at 5am, woke up at 8:30 to recovery. Flashed the same zip and now it's all fine again.
Freeze software update with titanium backup so your phone doesn't try to install the update agian
wow att and their updates f*** with everything, currently having a locked s4 with old firm of mf3. i plan on upgrading my device but on the fence with all this lock down bs. switching to tmobile seems like a decent option...... so confused and undecided
EDIT: Mounted system as R/W and i'm now restoring my stock unrooted backup of the system. But My "System Image" backup gives me ERROR=2?
So I had the xposed disabler zip on my SD, I had a system image backup from before I rooted, a full normal backup as well.
It wouldn't boot after I flashed the Xposed Zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
I flashed the one for SDK21-arm64.
I was like okay, and flashed the disabler, it said no backup of something made so no way to restore.
I sighed and tried restoring the system image, error, I tried restoring the full normal backup, mounted read only can't restore?
What should I do?
I have TWRP installed so I can boot into bootloader and recovery, not sure how to fix this.
Found out how to mount the system as read/write. Trying to restore again.
"Process ended with ERROR=2"
Mounted system as R/W and i'm now restoring my stock unrooted backup of the system. But My "System Image" backup gives me ERROR=2?
Yep. It doesn't work. Basically I just booted twrp, installed the uninstall zip and wiped cache to fix.
I think there's a version 22 that also didn't work. It gave an error trying to install. Here's the thread if you want to try it.

Xposed Framework for Alcatel Idol 3
Was there any error when installing xposed? Did anyone do an adb logcat on bootup to a text file to catch the error? Did anyone report the issue to the Xposed for Lollipop thread? (not sure why you'd be looking in the xposed for 5.1 thread since we are still on 5.0.2 but I found no sign of the words "alcatel" or "idol" in either thread. They can't fix it if they don't know about it.

As mentioned multiple times by me and others...no one should be going to the unoffical xposed for android 5.1 thread...if it was gonna work it would be the offical "android for lollipop thread (5.0)". Of course if no one reports the errors then it will never get fixed. Oh well...will re-evaluate it in a few months.
Hopefully this will work soon, I miss Xposed. There was a guy that posted a logcat from his Idol in the Xposed 5.0 thread, but I don't seen any responses to him.

Ill give it a shot ill post results later im busy now going to have my coffee now
Edit: i flashed the xposed arm64 version rebooted and i got stuck in the white alcatel logo that says smart move i left it alone for a few minutes and nothing so i flashed the uninstaller and went back to normal not sure if i need to wipe the dalvik after i install the xposed hmmm might retry again
So I flashed xposed-v69-sdk21-arm64.zip, wiped Dalvik & Cache, and it still hung at boot, I did get an adb logcat on boot for it, and I have attached that in the Xposed thread. Hopefully it will help us get this resolved. I was able to revert back with the uninstaller.
