Hey I have a big problem.... I was loading cwm .8 unto the tablet after a fresh nvflash and powered off to reboot in recovery manually.. Except the tablet never came back on... At all. Its taking a charge since im getting a red charge light. But nothing else. Before that I had nvflashed like 4 times due to some personal data files. Ima let it die out overnight n check back tmrow.

Need a little help here. The other day I turned on our old D2 BC I need aa replacement phone and its given me hell. First boot it went into the Liberty boot animation and wouldn't stop looping. My girl rebooted into recovery and flashed Liberty again and apparently it was working fine which I did not know. When she did this she didn't tell me so I was under the impression I needed to do what she did. I went to recovery, wiped and flashed Liberty, I believe its 2.0. Now I can't get it to even go into recovery. The only thing that happens is sometimes when I plug it in to a power source it will go straight to a liberty screen and just sit there. Not even an animation. Any ideas? I'm fixing my Ubuntu right now so maybe I can access ADB commands from there. It won't detect on Windows.

update: I finally got this phone to do something and idk how? I have tried to let it charge for a few days now and I'm thinking that 'somehow'(???) the battery got f'd up because just now when I plugged it in to finally try to connect through ADB, a black screen popped up. at top it Read: Bootloader > next line > D2.37 then at the bottom two lines that read Battery Low, Unable to Program. ....any thoughts? other than a new battery?
you need to get the battery charged with another phone or an external charger (stay away from homemade chargers as they can mess up stuff). What happened is the battery got too low to either start or finish sbf'ing so it went to bootloader and the phone won't charge without software so until you charge or buy a charged battery you are stuck. It's very fixable but you are stuck.
Soo.. I overclocked my G2x at 1.2 GHZ running Eaglesblood 4.0.1. A few days later I was charging my phone and it got SUPER hot around the mainboard (the top area). Shortly after it was thrown in a pile of clothes and the battery popped out (oops). It won't turn on now. It recognizes the android recovery on the computer (pwr + up/dwn vol buttons) and I can flash recovery on it but it wont boot up. When i hooked it up to a charger (a wii) it displays the LG logo for about 5 seconds then the touch buttons lights up then it resets. Before today it would only display the LG logo for about .2 seconds then turn off (only when plugged into a computer).
What should I do? Could it be the battery, or did it overheat? Now, what should I do? Should I send in it for warranty (It had problems before anyways) and risk them being able to boot it and see that I OCd and rooted it?
Any help appreciated... Thanks

If you don't mind losing your internal sd card data you can try this and then flash the rom again to see if it fixes it.

I tried that (Thanks btw!). It formatted everything and sent the files over but it still does the same exact thing.
If I can't put a rom on it will they know I formatted everything? If so, will that void the warranty?

It seems like you have a stuck vol- button. Can you take a look and try tapping it lightly to see if it would release.
Don't know if they would if you have standard recovery... If you made a nandroid backup I can tell you how to push that... Then they should not be able to tell anything... Otherwise I think cwm is a dead giveaway

Actually most of the time you will be fine if you send in a rooted phone. There was a thread about this.

Yes, I forgot about cwm. I can flash stock t-mo recovery on before I send it in. How would I go about pushing a stock rom onto it?
Also, I don't think I have a stuck vol- button. I've messed with it countless times. I suppose I could take the phone apart and see if it's really stuck. Do you have any other advice? As of now the phone only turns on (it displays the LG screen but after about 5 seconds the logo disappears and the touch buttons at the bottom flash and it repeats. ONLY while plugged into a power source, though)
@zlopp - thanks!

You can use the reference link in the batch cleanup op. That one pushes stock 2.3.3. I don't think it is rooted either.
Does your phone boot loop or does it boot back into recovery?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
bootloop. I can't get it to go into recovery. It won't bootloop, or boot at all, unless plugged into a power source. Does that sound like possibly a failed battery? It was taking forever to charge and whatnot a few weeks prior..
Unplug the phone. Plug it into the wall. Hold the battery in the socket, but dont let it touch the copper conntectors. Turn the phone one. It'll show the lg screen. Before it turns itself off, plug the battery in.
let it charge for $15 mins and redo CWM recovery again.
6 month ago one of my friend g2x fried up the main boardduring charge, I have to paid $100 for broken phone to get the main board replaced

I can't believe it but it worked! However, once I flashed a rom and loaded it started giving problems. The battery indicator said 999% and the mainboard began getting a lot warmer than usual. Then it shut off. I turned it back on and the LG logo came up for 1 second then the screen flashed (A brief flash full of what looks like artifacts if a videocard were to fry) and it repeated the cycle. It looks like im sending this POS back to t-mobile

No problem. I was pulling my hair out when my phone did it too. It took a lot of experimentation to figure it out!
Now, onto the next problem. I suggest you run the g2x nullifier script to clean out anything on the rom. It might be messing with the phone. Then flash something known to be stable!
My phone also did the 999% thing. It was messing up a lot too, but the nullifier fixed it. Try it out

This SAME EXACT thing is happening to me except I had NO issues with the phone before. The battery had died down after a normal day of use, I charged it that night and then I wake up to it not powering on. Then with charger only a continuous bootloop of the white LG logo
If this thread is more appropriate in another section, mods please move.
I'm by no means a lost newbie, having run a rooted & rom'd Epic 4G since release date and flashed it many times, modded, customized, etc, etc.
However, this dang Photon is giving me hell..
Just got the phone yesterday, unlocked the Bootloader, rooted, etc, etc. Tried updating the phone before realizing it doesn't work without stock recovery, so restored the phone back to stock'ish using some TWRP stock dumps someone posted. Flashed stock recovery back, booted, got the phone to download and apply the update, flashed TWRP back, rooted, booted, everything is good. Ok, finally I can get to restoring some data using Titanium. Restored a few things, it was getting late, and I knew it would take a while to restore my SMS/MMS messages so I kicked that off before going to bed. Phone was plugged into the charger all night. Woke up this morning and the phone was only at 50% and the SMS/MMS restore in Titanium seemed to be hung. Phone was still fully responsive, accessed the market, checked emailed, then I shut the phone down via the power menu in order to un-hang that Titanium restore...phone turns off, then shows the unlocked bootloader screen, then shows a backlit black screen and will do nothing else. Won't turn off, no combination of vol up/down and power will get into recover or fastboot. Phone has just been sitting there for about an hour now with a blank/black (but backlit so it is powered on) screen.
Any thoughts or suggestions or am I screwed at this point?
I don't know why I'm having such issues with even mildly modding this phone...
Ok, after about an hour and a half of just sitting there, the phone showed to be fully shut down. Was able to boot in to TWRP, so I then exited and rebooted and it booted all the way into the OS.
Not sure what happened or why, but I hope I'm good now.

When you powered off the device was it still on thee charger? When I power off and mine is on the charger it does the same thing. I just unplug the powr and then use poer button and vol dwn at same time to pwr off. Just threw that out there just in case it happened again.

It was plugged in when I did, but a few moments later after it did what it did I unplugged it, still was unresponsive to any power key / vol key combo, tossed it in my pocket & left for work. Tried it a few more times on the way to work, still nothing, tried it again when I go to work, still nothing, then grabbed the phone to check on it about another 30 mins later and it had fully turned off on it's on.
Who knows...been fine since.
I have a n8000 running stock european firmware 4.1.3 rooted using HOA method, TWRP recovery, has binary count 0.
in the past 4 days it kept shutting down for no apparent reason, so I fixed permissions and factory reset/wipe then rerooted..
still kept shutting down.. I didnt have time to look further into it. but today at 100% battery life, my poor note was sitting in my passenger seat, but when I picked it up I realized that it took a **** and completely died, no boot no recovery no odin, nothing just a black screen, no powaah! plugged it into the wall and nothing, plugged into pc and nothing!
so ok now! I know its F**KED, im gonna send it in. but I would love to know, wtf happened man? I took care of this thing and yeah I never OC'd.
also forgot to mention. I dont consider myself a pro but im not a complete idiot when it comes to android dev.
In the last few weeks my sideckick "reboots" itself, as it don't ask for the pin code.. It just reboots..
But now, he reboots and the first screen that appears that says T-mobile Sidekick 4g Samsung, appears, for about 5 seconds, turns off, and reapers, that on continuous loop!
The first time it happened, I took the battery off, and when I put it back, without me turning the phone on, e started doing the loop by itself..
After a few tries taking the battery off, he came to life..
But yesterday, that happened again, and stayed that way the whole evening.. Until it run out of battery, I went home, tried to recharge and it came to life again.. I was about to going to sleep and he rebooted again, and started the loop again.. It stayed all night that way, and in the morning, it was turned off.. I thought it was the battery again, so I plug it in, and it now is in continuous loop trying to charge the battery but before it starts, it turns off and does the loop again..
I have glourious overdose rom, but never had the problem except in the last few weeks!
Heeelp!
EDIT: It was in continuous loop trying to recharge, but I unplug it, and it turned on! It had 2% battery, and is now charging on.. I rebooted in recovery, and wiped cache and dalvik cache.. Probably it will happen the same all over again during the day..
I am considering changing rom..
It could be a battery issue, but the first thing i would do is dirty flash the same ROM on top of this one (no wipes) and see if it helps. If not do a full wipe then flash a new ROM. If this still dosent fix this then i would go back to stock with hiemdall and choose to repartition at the same time, then reroot and flash a ROM.
Also make sure the contacts to the battery are clean and touching fully, if it is a battery, at least they are cheap!
hope it all works out!
This may be something that happen during root that messed it up
So if demkantor suggestions didn't help odin to kg2 then root an flash a new rom should help if not its a really bad issues with either the battery or other hard ware (like the power button broke an is constantly pushing it)
If you do fix it you want to make sure you make a backup via red/yellow cwm
