G2x rebooting.

G2x appears to be stuck in a boot cycle. After completely draining its battery, it began to happen. Ive tried charging while its off and it still happens. Its gets to the lock screen and it tuns off again. Stock rom, rooted, nv flash. Help..

When I had this problem on the gb leak I had to unlock as soon as it showed up. I switched to bionix as soon as it was released and it hasn't happened since. Might be an app causing the problem though.

Did you make a backup after you flashed clockworkrecovery? If so than retore it and you should boot fine. If you didnt make a backup then boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

REG, I have clockwordmod and I did a backup of my stock, but I think I did not have sufficient space on my SD card, so when I did the restore it succeeded, but when I rebooted my phone it's stuck on LG logo, do I have to reboot in recovery and do a factory reset?

Things to try
1 Factory reset in cwm
2 Load CWM internal recovery via nvflash (since you seem to have a small microsd)
3 Load another rom or nandroid back to stock again of your internal mem

I don't want to screw it up, would factory reset work for me in cwm?

It'll just wipe all your apps/cache. If that doesn't load correctly, then you got something wonky in either your boot or system.

Okay, so if that doesn't work, how can I get passed the LG reboot?

I already told you what to do. Look at what I wrote for options 2 and 3.
Edit: I actually told the OP what to do, but it goes for you too if you are in the same situation.

This happened to me today while I was out getting my car fixed! I was playing the new free game from amazon when it got a little hot so I let it rest, then next thing you know it was stuck doing the rebooting cycle. I was pretty pissed since I really raved earlier about how good this phone was until it struck me all the sudden.
I was at costco when this was still happening and showed it at the kiosk and asked if I could get a new another model since the G2X was making me pull my hair and basically I just have to bring the box in and they will replace it with the phone of my choice. Hoping they have sensation before the end of the month because this piece of brick is going. In the end I had to press down on the volume and power at the same time to LOSE ALL MY DATA to do a hard reset.
I don't care what people say about this phone and how great it is. I literally in the middle of costco curse the crap out of this phone!

Titanium and nandroid backup is definitely your friend.

[Q] Please Help

Ok first my Inspire has been rooted and running Inspired Ace since early June without a hitch. Well this morning the phone booted up normal, well about an hour later it just showed a black screen and would not respond. I pulled the battery and rebooted, it got to the first htc "white" screen and about 10 seconds later the phone vibrated 7 times then just hung on the first screen. I pulled the battery again, and it was the same thing. OK i then tried to get into recovery (through hboot) and it just hung on the first screen and vibrated. I tried reflashing the rom but again at the first screen it hangs and vibrates 7 times. the longest Ive waited for it to do something has been 2 hours. Im at my wits end. Can someone out there help? Thank You in advance.
EDIT: Well its now a warranty claim.. some sort of hardware failure
Thanks to Tx Redneck and a huge thanks to ATTN1 for trying to help get it fixed

Get back into HBOOT, select recovery, select backup/restore and make a nandroid, select wipe data factory reset, select advanced>wipe dalvik cache, select install zip from sd card and reflash the rom.
Post back up w/ the results.

I tried and after i select recovery the phone just goes to the first HTC screen vibrates about 7 times and hangs. it wont let me get to where the backup/restore option is.

Can you get to HBOOT and do you have a sd card reader on your puter?

yes i can and do

Try this. If it's successful, you'll hafta re-root but at least you'll have a working phone again.

oh i think im not having a good day. I've actually tried both the froyo and gb versions a few times. it always ends with the same result.. hanging on first screen and vibrating 7 times. is the vibrating like an error code of some sort?

Copy the contents of your sd to a folder on your pc then format, re xfer the tool and try again.

ok im trying it now
ok i tried what you said and used a new copy of the froyo version... well now its still hung at the first screen but it didnt have the 7 vibrates this time.

Bud, I'm sorry but that's all I know/could think of to do. My suggestion at this point would be to go here and ask the pro's.
Be sure to give the link to this thread or a FULL description of what's been tried/done.

OK
Well I thank you for the help.

Did yall get it worked out?

[Q] SD Card not being detected

Recently had a issue with this transformer I got from CL, First had aboot looping issue, called asus and they were going to replace it, but I let the battery drain, hooked it up to my laptop and it just started working.
I updated it, downloaded apps, played around with it up to now where I want to use the mircoSD card slot and it's not working, I have 2 and nothing is being detected, Firmware is update, it's pure stock. It gives no indication of trying to read the SD card, I looked for it in Astro and nothing, it cant even try to make the directory.
I've done restarts and such as well
SD Card is formatted to fat32 (both cards)
Any clues?

Bad port or unlucky software flash, I'd say. Try a factory reset, if that doesn't fix you should RMA borked hardware.

Annnnnnd now I am back to being stuck in the boot loop....Godf'n damnit

Alright, so you're totally stock. I'd say you're mostly screwed, can you Cold-Boot android? If so I'd try rooting and putting cwm on there + a rom and kernel to fix issues.
Otherwise, RMA.

It's getting RMA'd regardless but I'm just not sure why the hell it started working last night out of the blue
it's not being detected by adb devices in recovery. I tried cold booting and just stays in boot loop

Yeah, just RMA it at this pt.

Captivate not recognizing either internal or external SD cards

So a couple of weeks ago, I flashed Helly Bean on to my phone. It was a pretty clean flash, and my phone worked fine. I was really enjoying the new OS and everything, but then a few days ago, after sending a text message, I set my phone aside and the phone randomly restarted. But for some reason, it went back to the very old Android boot animation (like 2.1), instead of the regular Helly Bean one. I let the phone sit for a few minutes and it just seemed stuck on that screen. So I did a battery pull and restarted, but the same thing happened again. I did a battery, sim, and sd card pull and left them out for about 5 minutes, and restarted again, and got stuck in a bootloop with the white AT&T screen. So, I did a little research and decided that I should go back to flash because that was the only way to get my phone working again. I re-flashed stock and finally got my phone running again. Since I didn't have a way of doing a backup, my phone deleted everything I had (I still have a back up on my PC from when I flashed Helly Bean, so I didn't make much of it). Then, I tried flashing a different CM10 rom on it, ParanoidAndroid. I followed the instructions, and again, clean flash. Then I set up my Google account and let Google Play restore all my apps, the apps installed without any problems. I mounted my phone onto my PC and realized that only my 4gb external SD was showing up, and that I mistook it for my internal SD when I flashed PA. However, all of my apps were installed on the internal SD card, because the external SD wouldn't have enough space on it to store them all. I figured that I flashed the rom wrong and tried to go back to Gingerbread stock and flash it again. I cleared both caches, did a factory reset, and used one of the Odin OneClicks from xda, just like I did before. About 3/4 of the way through the flash, the phone just restarted and got stuck in another bootloop. But this time, I couldn't get back into download mode using any of the button combos, and the phone got bricked. I decided that getting a USB Jig was my only option and prepared to get one. Then, yesterday, I randomly just decided to try turning on my phone again, and it actually started up. It went all the way back to Eclair. And now this time, it doesn't recognize either of my SD cards. And for some reason, I can't turn the phone on unless my external SD card is in it. Also sometimes I can't make/receive calls and I can't send texts either. I tried doing the OTA firmware update, but it just got stuck at 50% and wouldn't update. So I'm not sure what to do at this point because I don't have access to my internal or external SD cards. Anybody have any ideas as to what may have happened and/or how I can fix it? Should I even bother trying to flash GB/ICS/JB again?
TL;DR: Went from ICS to Helly Bean, was working fine until phone randomly reset itself. Went back to GB, tried flashing ParanoidAndroid, but this time, internal SD card not recognized, but all of my apps were installed on it anyway. Tried going back to GB and got bricked. Phone wouldn't go into download mode, so let it be for a day. The next day, the phone did start up again, but it went back to Eclair 2.1, and now my internal or external SD cards are not recognized by the phone.

Maybe your card is mounted to another mount point now? Have you checked fstab?

I haven't, I'm not sure how to do that.

Have you tried both of the possible button combos for DL mode vol up+power and vol down + power?
I have a cappy and a vibe both running hellybean and one thing I noticed is the cappy recognizes external as internal and vice versa.
If your phone will boot up without ext SD, try and format the ext sd card.
Did you lose root?
its peanut butter jelly(bean) time

Well my phone is working now. I can use it just as I would normally. I'm just a bit cautious to go back into DL mode because I don't want to completely brick the phone, and I don't have a backup phone to use if it does. As far as the external/internal SD being jumbled up, I wasn't aware others might be experiencing the same problem or if that was a bug in Hellybean; I don't recall it being listed in the bugs. I don't think I've lost root, but I'm thinking I might un-root and re-root it and that might solve the problem. Do you think that would be a good idea? Or should I just let it be?

[Q] Is it possible to install rom to external sd card

Hey everyone, I have a droid charge that has been bricked for a while now. Here's how it went. I was just sitting on teh couch one day and I felt my charge getting reallly hot in my pocket, and when i took it out, it was stuck at the samsung screen. Before that, I had been having a few random restarts, but after that point, the phone never booted again. I have treid flashing everything. I have tried different roms, and odin'ed like everything. Every time, it is the same thing. It would just boot to stock. After leaving it on my desk for around 4 months without ever touching it, now the phone boots to the droid eye animation and then just bootloops there. Sometimes it has audio, other times it does not. I have looked at countless threads and the only answer I can find is that my internal emmc is damaged. When I use adb in recovery, there are 3 partitions listed as there should be, but the format of the last partition is blank. When I try to use parted to format it, the only thing I get is an I/O error. Now I have accepted that the internal memory is corrupted. Is there any way that I can map an external sd card to the internal memory so that I can install a rom on the sd card and boot off of there instead? If not, can the unbrickable mod help me in any way?
Thanks
