Hi. I have a huge problem and I am so stressed because some of the people in these forums are awfully mean and I am already having a bad enough time, Plus I have been searching for 3 days and found no working solution. I love my phone and I fear I may just have to give up all hope, but I am just not quite ready to let go....
Seriously tho, I rooted my Optimus S and I had a hell of a time getting a recovery to work finally thunderc did the trick. then I added thundeRom, and I had it about to weeks when I came across this cool ROM called cyanogen nightly so I just had to have it. Well then my phone wouldn't flash into recovery. I tried installing many recoveries none would work.
After so many failed attempts I kept getting permission denied. I remembered that before I rooted I had the same problem and after I did a factory reset and wiped my phone clean it worked, So I did that again and I pretty sure it bricked, only I have not found any other post where the symptoms were just like mine. My phone will only blink LG nothing else.
I did back up with titanium before this and I had a nandroid backup also. Is there any hope? Does anyone know what may have happened with my recovery before this happened? It was working fine. I have not been this long without a phone in at least 10 years. Please help I would greatly appreciate it. thanks.
yes there is, if you could go into clockwork recovery (reflash it without fully turning on the phone, there probably is a way, google it )
then you could reinstall your previous backup and it would work as new.

My g2x keeps rebooting over and over again! This happened after i mounted it to my pc. it tries to read my sd card then just reboots over and over again. I have nv flash and tried to restore old back up but still does it. can any one help im thinking i need to flash stock.
you need to do a factory reset if your nandroid backup doesn't work. if that doesn't work reflash the rom.
I already did a factory reset and wipe and tried to re install the rom. it just continues to reboot. It starts up and if quick i can get into my lock screen and access things but within seconds it reboots and continues to do that
What rom are you using?

I was on a stock rooted rom when the problem happened. so i then i did a restore. when that didnt work i reflashed the stock rom that was posted on forum. i think it has something to do with my internal memory which i cannot access. this all happened when i was trying to back up my sd card while in usb and it just got an error when i unplugged it enless reboot.

I was hoping it was something simple like undervolting with a custom rom. I wish I could help. It sounds like you tried everything I would recomend. Maybe one of the real Android techie type guys can help you. I am still learning myself.

tried installing contacts.apk manually, still didnt work
im lost
i love my phone especially after rooting it
please help me out
any assistance would be much appreciated

Hmm you might have to factory reset. Did you make a nandroid
yes ive tried resetting several times
didnt work
and, regretfully, no i did not make a nandroid :/
OK, I don't think there is much you can do but flash a ROM, either custom or stock. The problem is TB isn't restoring on ChaCha and I haven't found anyone with a configuration that makes it work.

thanks all!!
Okay let me start off by saying I'm no stranger to rooting or ROMs. I have had my Infuse for a few months now and I have rooted it successfully and tried several different ROMs. Currently the phone is on stock 2.2.1 rooted via superoneclick. I have already tried GTG's Ultimate Unbrick a few times to resolve the issue and it hasn't helped....and, yes, I did a factory reset as well. Right now what is happening is that the phone is booting through to the AT&T screen and then restarting again in a constant loop. What is weird is that if I play with the buttons on the phone at the bottom while on the AT&T screen it will sometimes boot all the way through and be okay and operate normally. If I push power and set it on the table and leave it alone it will just keep looping no matter how long I leave it. Weirdest thing I've run in to. I'm guessing it's a hardware issue. Any ideas anyone?
I should add that I was not doing anything....flashing or otherwise. I had just downloaded TSF Shell from the market. I have used it before on the same ROM without issue. In fact, I hadn't flashed anything new since the last time I used it.

well... if it isnt a bad flash, since you say you hae falshed many times before... maybe your phones flash memory is messed up. It could also be a partion layout error... if you have tried the pit reflash, and still have no luck... do as I did with a Motorola Defy... my friend trued to flash too many times and ended up damaging the memory so i just flashe da stock rom and even though it bootlooped, i turned it into warranty i my friend got a new phone in a matter of days... i dont know how it is where your from but at least here in Puerto Rico it did the job for me.
So, I'm really sorry if there is an easy answer to this....but I swear I have looked....
I was running CM10.0 on a rooted gs3. I tried to update to 10.1 and the phone lost its mind. I booted it into TWRP and tried to do a factory reset, but that didn't help. Originally the phone would start. But gmail, the play store and most apps all crashed. So I kept messing around in recovery trying to undo the update.
Getting frustrated and confused I apparently wiped my system. I can't start the phone at all. I tried to flash another custom ROM which failed.
What is the easiest way to fix this? Would it be to use ODIN and flash a ROM? The only reason I didn't try this yet is I'm confused about the no OS. I start work as a pediatric intern tomorrow and need to have a working phone. I would normally spend more time trying to figure this out on my own but I'm kind of a nervous wreck at the moment, and need to try and get some sleep before the big day tomorrow.
I really don't care if the phone gets unrooted and back to stock, I just want a working phone...

Well likely you somehow corrupted one of the system partitions.
ODIN back to stock and it should fix everything

You will need to go to a Stock Image via Odin.

Thanks guys, I finally got it working!
I thought that was what I needed to do, but I was so confused when it said I erased the OS...
Now to try and get some sleep before the first day on the job!
Oneplus One on 5.1.1 (12.1) on jgcaap's 11/30/2015 build. I used to be really into flashing and modding phones but have since moved and changed jobs. I just haven't been able to enjoy this hobby lately, or several others. Over the last month or so any time I reboot the phone it is missing several apps when it comes back on. This happens whether I manually reboot, or if an error causes it reboot on its own. This morning it rebooted on its own and lost Google Play Services... Now I can't use the market, and many of the apps I have cannot work either.
I want to install a new ROM. I am concerned with the process because I will be coming from such an old build. I am going to start researching ROM's but I need to get it done soon. I hate to be the guy who shows up not having done his research. Since this is the "help" forum I was hoping someone would be willing to give me a little guidance. I just need a reliable ROM, doesn't have to be the fastest or too fancy. I will post up here when I decide which one to try but I am completely open to suggestions.
In the short term I plan to re-install gapps. I found the old tkGapps thread and downloaded the mini modular package. So hopefully doing that will buy me some time.
Thank you for reading, and any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Looks organized! I'll give it a try. I will read about it tonight while it is downloading. I live remote now so sloooow internet. It will give me some time to read.
So, it won't cause any issue going straight from 5.1.1 to this 7.x.x ROM? Years ago on Samsungs it had to be done in steps sometimes.
Thank you so much for the reply.
Installed with no drama! I was so concerned there would be some kind of Samsung-esque step maneuver/install this kernal then flash this rom, then after that install the ROM stuff... So easy!! Thanks!
Questions:
1. do I need Busybox? I run a few root apps. I don't know if we still use this.
2. is Titanium Backup fully functional in this build? I used to back up some of my more important apps then restore them with data. Of course no system apps.
3. Can't remember #3 so #3 is Thank goodness this fixed my phone! Thank you Sir!

Problem still exists with new ROM.
I was out of town yesterday and thought my phone was working correctly. Some of my google contacts were missing but that was easy enough to address. Today I rebooted my phone to install super su using twrp. I haven't had to root this phone in literally 2 years. I read here to install super su in recovery. Here's the problem. When the phone was booted up it is now missing about 40% of the apps I had previously installed. I installed all of them from the play store manually. Now I am starting to think my phone has a hardware problem, which makes me sad. I really love this phone.
I did a quick search trying to find someone with a similar problem but was unsuccessful. I haven't been able to search more thoughouly yet. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Could you tell me which SuperSU you flashed?
Today this is the one I installed. https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip I believe it is version 2.82.
When I installed the ROM it asked me at the end if I wanted to install super su, because twrp didn't detect root. I slid the bar to allow it, but I never got root access. That is why I tried the one I manually downloaded today.
In case it makes a difference I am using an older version of twrp. It was the good one to use back then. I don't know what version it is, and I am afraid to reboot my phone to find out.
Any ideas on this?
I have been unable to get root. So I haven't been able to use any root tools to work on it. Can't backup or restore apps. I wanted to try a trim app to trim the nand.
If I don't come up with a better idea before tonight I plan to reinstall DotOS again with Gapps. Then just try to not ever reboot the phone. I can't afford a new device right now. I may just have to flash it fresh every week or two. I guess that will keep my phone light.
I have installed 2 different ROM's now and this problem persists. If my phone reboots it will delete about half my apps. If it was a Samsung I would "Odin back to stock" and hope for the best. I don't think that is possible on this device.
If I find a solution I will post here about it. Otherwise this problem is a death sentence for this phone. I am only posting this now so if this happens to someone else's device they can see how it went with mine.

I appreciate your help MR. AK. I had seen that thread but didn't realize what it would do. I flashed my phone back to stock using the files and directions in that thread. after i was done I let it run like that for a short time then installed a custom ROM and Gapps. That was Sunday and now on Tuesday I have installed most of my apps and rebooted the phone 3 times. It hasn't lost any apps! *knocks on wood* So far so good! Now I just have to read up on that screen cable issue. The bottom still smears out sometimes.
Thanks again for the help Mr. AK. I used to be into flashing all the time but have hit hard times. I have't been able to keep up with everything like I used to. I have been modifying phones since before the Moto RAZR came out. Used to be a member at motomodders.net which is now defunct. I hope to get back into it soon. XDAdevs is a great community. Happy new year everyone!
