Bought a phone in the past few days, the LG Vortex (I'm broke). I rooted the phone with no problems, installed rom manager to boot into recovery mode (bad idea), the phone reboots and now it's stuck at the logo screen. I've tried everything to get this piece of crap to go into recovery, from hard reset button combo to trying to force it in adb. Unfortunately when I connect it to the computer, the computer doesn't even recognize the device. Am I screwd or is there some light at the end of the tunnel i'm missing?
Oh btw tried to take it to verizon to get a factory reset, the tech guy there looked at it for all of 1 minute, said that I rooted it and that my warranty was void. Anything I can do at all at this point?

My sister has a LG Optimus Thrive(P506) that was working great until yesterday. The phone refused to boot up and every time I plug it into my computer to charge it, it keeps showing the LG logo for 3-4 seconds then powering of for 1 sec then starting again. The phone isn't rooted or anything and it's currently locked to AT&T. Any suggestions what to do? It doesn't boot at all unless it's in a power source. Also, we aren't in the US so the phone has been on airplane mode for 5 months now. Another thing is that ADB doesn't seem to see the device even when connected. Please help!
I remember this happening to my phone when it was fairly new and unviolated... just damn forgot what I did to fix it. I knew I did a factory reset using some button-power combination. It's in the manual. I lost mine.
You could also try booting it without the sim card and sdcard inserted.

The factory reset is activated by pressing power+down volume+home. That triggers the factory reset if u are on stock with no custom recovery.
Hi guys,
New to flashing custom ROMS. Good news - flashed CM12, then LiquidSmooth and I'm learning a lot after having soft bricked my phone a few times. Bad news - After trying to get back to Stock I'm not able to get out of this LG Logo bootloop. The LG logo will flash, screen will go black and the whole process starts again. It doesn’t progress past that. I'm unable to get to TWRP recovery or download mode.
My idiotic move:
Iffy stability with camera and mobile data with CM and LiquidSmooth. Decided to go back to Stock.
I flashed my nandroid backup, which I believe led to a bootloop (can’t remember). Was able to boot to TWRP and get back to CM12. Then I had the genius idea of using AutoREC and selecting the “Go Back to Stock” option. Yes, it’s already sounding like a bad, and nonsensical idea as I say it now. Can't remember exactly what I did next - I either flashed my nandroid backup or did a factory reset through CM settings. Threw me into this bootloop.
The details:
Model - D800 - Am sure of this.
Stock software before flashing CM12 was Lollipop 5.0.2 via OTA.
TWRP Recovery 2.8x something or other. Used AutoRec to flash.
I can interrupt the bootloop and access Factory Hard Reset through Power + Volume Down
Had to go to JB Bootloader in order to Flash ROMs. Errors returned otherwise.
Roadblocks:
No download mode. Holding Volume Up & Inserting USB cable doesn't work. Although am able to get bootloop to include a blank screen with red flashing LED through this method from time to time.
Phone boots up, and goes directly into bootloop when plugging USB cable into phone. This happens both when plugging into a wall charger or into a computer. I think this is probably the biggest pain and is holding up things from progressing. Can turn off phone by holding down power for a few seconds, BUT if the phone is plugged in it will continue to boot on its own.
Phone not recognized by computer & ADB However, was at times able to get Device Manager to recognize the phone as an "Unknown Device" after going to the Factory Hard Reset screen. This is no longer working after trying different drivers. I’ve went through LG Mobile Universal Driver as well as the Koush driver.
Going through Factory Hard Reset via hardware buttons only throws phone back into BootLoop
Can’t boot into TWRP
Any insight or help guys? Thanks in advance. I think getting into Download Mode will be a quiet victory. I’d like to try to use Supersports guide once I get there to go back to stock.
I have a t-mobile (snapdragon processor) s7 that this morning when it was charging, it must have reset or something and the logo is all i can see now. I believe it's stuck in a boot loop. When i try to go to recovery mode, it gets stuck in a recovery boot loop as well. The only thing i've really been able to do is put it in download mode, and i've tried several times to flash it, to no avail. I have a crack on the back of the device, so they consider the warranty voided even though it's been like that for a year almost. Is there anything else i should try before i pay off the phone "lease" and upgrade again? Any tricks i don't know about?
Recently had issues with my G7 Power and it seems to be soft-bricked. I was using an app and the app in question usually has the occasional stutter but then things resume to normal a second later. This is what happened yet this time the phone froze and was completely unresponsive. I held the power button down, turned it off and back on and it seemed fine but for whatever reason it got stuck on the Verizon loading screen which never happens. Turned it off and on again and it got stuck on the Moto animation so I held the power button down again. The phone shut off and refused to turn on again.
Eventually I ended up getting into fast boot (initially tried getting into fast boot many times with no success, no idea why it suddenly worked that time) and reset the phone through there and it would still get stuck on the Verizon loading screen. Kept turning the phone off and returning it to fast boot to repeat the process which was probably a stupid mistake on my part as the phone proceeded to shut off like expected but this time I couldn't get into fast boot anymore at all, even when keeping it on the charger that came with the phone.
LMSA was looking like the perfect solution but my PC isn't recognizing the phone as a drive so I don't think any sort of software made for instances like this are going to work unless there's something I'm doing wrong here. I can't get into the phone to enable USB debugging either.
Any recommendations as to what I should do? It's looking like sending it back to get it fixed is my only option here. Never had any issues with the phone until now.
Re-flash Stock ROM.
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <STOCK-ROM-ZIP>

My PC won't recognize the phone at all, would this still work? Would it also completely wipe the device's memory?
Hello guys, I bought a used LG V50 Thinq KT 5 months ago and made it as my daily driver. I shot videos for some projects on the phone and I think the problem was because I had a ton of 4K videos on that phone and forgot to delete some of it and the storage probably got full and couldn't handle the background tasks that were mainly running the phone. It began overheating, then frequent freezing of the phone, couldn't even get past the lockscreen because it would just freeze everytime I opened it up. It then just boot-looped everytime I tried to turn on the phone. I actually did the factory reset where you press the power button and volume down button, It went to this factory reset mode and decided to wipe everything. Unfortunately after a couple of seconds it said "Erasing" then it would just boot loop all over again. I researched some tutorials on youtube on how to unbrick phones and want to try to flash a new stock LG V50 ROM. I've downloaded everything and the correct version of the ROM because I can still access the IMEI on my phone. What my problem is now, is that I can't access the bootloader because I haven't turned on the OEM bootloader option on the developer options. I am completely stuck and want to find a way how to turn on the bootloader on this phone without accessing the developer options so that I am able to flash the new stock ROM via LGUP..
any solutions yet ?
