Please help bricked my rooted optimus s with factory reset...

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.

Thunderbolt stuck at "htc" boot screen

I have been rooted for a couple of months now, and I was tired of dealing with the auto-update keep taking control of my phone.
So tonight I decided to instadd das BAMF rom and the MR2 radio... long story short, I could never get the radio to install so through hboot, i selected recovery to recover the stock ROM, I wiped the data and cache prior to recovering, then rebooted.
Now it is stuck at the htc boot screen.
I need help pretty soon guys, if anyone reads this soon, i have to be at work in 5 hours!
Thanks

If you flashed the radio last, it might had wiped the phone, meaning you need ot flash a ROM afterwards, or the phone is bricked, from something you did. I don't know much about the TB, but you should ask in its dedicated sub-forum instead, you'll get much better results there.

thanks, I wish I could but I have less that 10 posts... i dont understand it, i can access h-boot and i can do anything in there like everything is fine, but the phone will not reboot or restart

Then it's not bricked, most call it soft "brick" since it doesn't boot. You should wipe in clockwork, and then flash another ROM.

I have tried to recover my stock rom 4 times, but i just found a stock debloated version of the stock rom, so im going to try and flash it.

Getting dialer problems

I've been trying to fix this problem for 2 days now, I tried installing back to stock, reroot and unlocked. I slapped Cleanrom on and it hasn't fixed the issue. I was hoping if the problem could possibly be fixed, or if its a hardware issue i want to know what steps i can take to deal with it. As of right now i cant make any calls without it foreclosing on me.
Thanks

Weird. Tried clearing cache? Did you have this problem when u first got the phone? When did all start?

It was 2 days ago. I tried almost everything, but still a no go. I have pmed some people who have experienced it in the past, but their on 2.20 now, so i might consider it if its going to fix the issue. I rather not though

I'm getting that same problem too, also i can't properly add phone numbers to my phone or sim. This is getting frustrating, hopefully someone can elaborate on this..

Do you have any accounts syncing? Maybe if you delete all the accounts that sync contacts? Maybe try it without a SIM card in?

If you are using CWM and flashed CleanROM (and maybe other ROMs), then that is why you are having this issue. Its a known issue, and it clearly says in the CleanROM top post to not use CWM, and to use TWRP.
Also, this is a double post. Somebody posted a fix in your other thread. Go look at it. Now see why double posts are confusing and annoying?

solution
It happened to me too and now I have a solution.it happened to me when I installed a rom(don't want to mention the name).ok do this
Root ur phone unlock bootloader and install cwm not twrp.now clear cache,data,system everything and install any rom(even stock)using TARP(dont forget to clear everything in twrp also).
It worked seriously for me and believe me.if I helped u please hit thanks button

I tried this method, installed CWR over TWRP and installed cleanrom 4.5, then my phone would reboot continuously. Did you experience this?

Are u guys doing FULL wipes as stated above?? Do a full wipe, cache, dalvik, system, factory reset/data. Flash a rom and dont restore anything. Just boot it up and see. Im fairly certain it wont mess up after that.

Did you flash KingCobra then started having this issue? I have the same problem as well right now, there is a FC.zip fix he's made that you can flash but I'm getting an error right now. Its a awesome rom tho!

as i mentioned you need to clear data,cache,system.. in cwm then switch to twrp and install a rom.installing cr4.5 or any latest roms in cwm will cause bootloop

T-Mobile LG Mytouch Q

Ok so I'm relatively new at trying to root and hack phones as well as adding custom roms. I searched all over the forums but could barely find anything related to my problem, and if I'm wrong i do apologize for re-posting. Anyways I rooted the phone using superoneclick and it all went fine. So i then decided to try and install a custom called CyanogenMod 9 onto the phone with Rom Manager. I'm guessing I did not do an extremely important step and now i fear my phone is bricked. I put the ROM into the root of the SD card, went into ROM manager, and trid installing the ROM. It all failed and now my phone is stuck on the same screen on the bootup where it keeps restarting itself telling me Failed installation factory reset failed and it restarts factory reset. The phone is from T-mobile and its a Mytouch Q. Any help would be very wonderful!

Hi, Are you able to get into the CWM menu? If so, Do a "Factory reset" clearing all data. Then clear the /cache partition and the davlik cache in the "advanced" menu. Then flash the rom again. If that doesnt work try clearing everything again and installing the default android 2.3.6 LG rom and take off again from there. My end advice? Dont flash this phone, its a peice of absolute crap

Urgent Help BRICK NEXUS 5 !!!

So, I installed a CyanogenMod Nightly and started to get a "System UI has stopped" error message , so I proceeded to do everything possible to fix it like wipe cache and data etc. I tried to side-load and push a newer nightly to TWRP but it would comeback with device not found (or connected) so in a last hurrah I went back into recovery and did a Advance Wipe of everything including System ( I know, I want to punch myself right about now). So after wiping System now I am stuck because I have a NEXUS 5 and no other way to flash a ROM, so did I royally just screwed myself or is there a solution to this? Please I will truly appreciated if anyone could help me with this.
I most clarify that ABD and Fastboot where working fine (before the last update I did). And also I was using Cyanogenmod Nightly CAF.
