Ok, was messing around with building a ROM today, tried to install it and installation aborted, no big deal. I rebooted my phone and it was stuck on the bootanimation, again, no big deal. I did a nandroid restore and now my phone won't power up...big deal. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Edit: Forgot to mention this, but pulling the battery has not helped.
Edit#2: Phone is working fine now, not sure what exactly happened but I'm happy it wasn't bricked.

I cooked my rom by using radio 1.64.06.04, and Alex.v5.WM61.HTC.3.03.ROM, it worked fine for a couple of days, but yesterday, I was trying to do a soft reset, the phone freezed when the Windows mobile coming uip, and never got into the Today menu again, My phone is not usable now!!!!!!!/:-(
Then I tried to flash the rom again, but since the phone freezed before getting into windows, the activesnyc kept telling me phone was not connected. Please, please help me.....I have to get my phone back to work.....Thanks.
try a hard reset first, and if you want to reflash, but the device into bootloader and flash
tried a hard rest, but the screen still freeezed before getting into Window....
how can I get into the bootloader, under this condition? thanks alot
Thank you so much!!! After a bunch of reseach, I just realized that I did a wrong hard reset!!! I reset again, and the phone is working now....thank you...you made my day.!~
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.
I just got a replacement G2x and ended up one click rooting it. I installed bloat freezer and started freezing programs that I did before. I accidentally froze "launcher" since I am using launcherpro anyways. It seemed to be ok, but then I froze App Pack and it gave me the constant force close like some of the apps do. I pulled the battery and upon starting it up again, it gives me the LG logo at full brightness. It then dims to half brightness and then goes black. (unresponsive)
I try power + volume down and it brings me to the unpacking android like it should for a factory reset. Shortly after, the screen goes black and just sits there unresponsive but with the notification lights lit up. I had not gotten around to doing an nvflash recovery yet and dont have rom manager or clockwork installed yet. I just want to get back to stock or be able to at least boot up.
Please help.

I believe factory reset on stock recovery is volume up + power. Either way, I'm pretty sure you have to hold them until it starts the restore process.
Nvflash CWM recovery, restore the stock nandroid dump.
This should take roughly 10 mins to complete and will get you back to stock (minus the recovery).

what he said. took the words outta my mouth ahah
Thanks guys, I had done the NVFlash before, I was just worried about bricking my phone if I did it when I wasn't supposed to
Well after doing all that, it still only boots to the LG Logo. I can enter clockwork recovery and even do a factory reset (and the G2X stock nandroid backup) but when I restart the phone it won't bring me past the LG screen.......
Any other suggestions?

Send it back saying they sent you another messed up one, and then again I suggest to you and everyone else to forget about rooting, since there are more negatives that outweigh the benefits to a rooted phone. It's just foolish and it's no wonder that the G2x has a lot of problems, it's because most that do complain of a problem have rooted or tried rooting the phone.
If I send it back and they get it to boot, it will still have superuser which means it was rooted. I don't want them to void any warranty and I am sure they would not have let it out of the warehouse like that.....
Rooting is not the reason the G2X has problems. LG is the problem....
Anyone have anything useful for me to do. I like that I can at least enter recovery and do a factory reset, I just need to get this thing to boot past the LG logo.
Did you do full wipe before restoring. Install a different rom instead of stock....

After you did the reset and it would not boot up - have you tried pulling the battery and booting up again? I have had to do that a number of times.
I have pulled the battery so many times. What will flashing a new rom do that a stock rom won't?
After you restored the stock nandroid, did you wipe data, cache, dalvik again?
Wipe before and after restore. It works, I've done it oodles of times.
In addition to what GideonX posted, make sure you format system, format cache, and format data.
I did just as Gideon stated and it still cannot boot past the LG logo. I wiped everything before, flashed Gunmann's stock nandroid backup, then wiped everything again....
What now?

This same thing happened to me on my second night of fooling around with the phone. I fixed it by reflashing with the nvflasher. Make sure you follow all the steps to the T.
I followed every single step exactly. I ended up just putting the battery in and it booted fully after about 5 hours of sitting there. The battery was at 1% about to die. I don't know what made it boot up near its battery death. Either way, I was able to unroot and the next time I turned the phone off, it wouldn't boot again. It looks like it is an issue with the phone itself
Same problem
Hey, did you fixed the problem??
I'ts happening with my G2x...
Some times, it wont boot up, i leave it alone, and then powers up with 1% or 0% battery.
Today booted up with the right charge. And works flawlessly. But if i power it off i'm shure that the problem will be back.

How do you do that? Pleas tell
Go to the ROM for recovery thread in development section and follow it step by step.

Hello everyone,
I searched the forums for awhile but could not find a satifying answer for my question. So i am hoping you guys will have an answer for me.
First of all i would like to point out that i am not looking for an answer for how to unbrick the phone. There are several guides and hopefully when i get home i will be able to fix the problem. *Fingers crossed*
I did not have my Galaxy S for long. After getting it and installing KIES and updating my firmware the battery life what terrible so I rooted the phone and then installed Gingerbread 2.3.6 JVU. it worked like a charm.
Yesterday when I was playing with the CWM application, I decided that i was going to back up the phone and backed it up using the application. This morning one of my programs was acting weird and I decided to restore the backup I have done yesterday.
Upon going into applications and CWM, I chose the restore option and started the process. Everything was going smoothly, the phone was plugged in to the charger as well.
When the phone rebooted after the initial process I am stuck at logo screen. i can go into download mode (That is why I am hoping that I will be able to unbrick it) however that is as far as the phone goes. When I try to go into CWM Recovery mode, I am once again welcomed by the phone getting stuck at logo screen.
Does anyone have any idea as to why this might have happened? To avoid future problems is there any extra steps I should have taken before using the CWM restore function?
Thanks for the help.

Maybe your backup was corrupted somehow. You could have tried wiping the dalvik cache after restoring your backup (before rebooting), but its too late now. Since you can get into download mode, you can easily fix the problem (your device is just soft bricked - nothing to worry too much about).

The phone rebooted automatically. Did not give me the chance to do anything beforehand.
As you said the phone was soft bricked so when i got home that day i just fixed it. No problem. However I am really really into getting to find out how a 1 day old back up can get corrupted.
Hi guys, my phone is right borked and I hope someone can help me out. I've been searching forums all day and I find bits and pieces of advice that apply to parts of my situation, but haven’t found a fix yet.
I installed CyanogenMod on my Rogers Samsung G3 a couple months back. Everything has been going smoothly until last night when I installed an update.
The phone rebooted and got stuck on the Samsung splash screen with the blue cyanogen dude. I left it for 30 min and when I got back, it was still the same.
I took the battery out, turned it back on and ended up in the same spot. I took the battery out again, turned it on and left it over night. Same thing this morning.
On advice from this forum I put the phone in recovery mode. I thought I had TWRP, but Clockwork Recovery comes up.
I did a factory reset, and cleared the cache. Rebooted and still the same thing.
I tried to flash the ROM, but it doesn't work. The android dude just lies there, dead. Poor guy.
I plugged it into my computer but even though the computer makes the connection ‘cah-ching’ its not recognized. Through the recovery screen I tried unmounting and mounting everything, and mounting as usb and the computer still won’t pick it up. I uninstalled Kies, and the drivers for the phone and re installed everything. The driver pop up says MTP has failed.
Any suggestions?
