you have to flash gaaps for getting market , lol u cant do master reset cuz u flashed a recovery , from recovery use wipe data and it will master reset all apps,

Pls provide more details.
- rom installed
- custom recovery
- did you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
- what do you mean by cannot access "android system"
Wrong Thread title here.
a bricked phone means, you cant boot into android nor to recovery mode - mostly you
have a black screen (realy black, not only dark) or a yellow "Emergency Mode".
In the Yellow mode you can flash a kdz and all is fine, in the black screen the device
is possibly realy bricked if you cant do anything.
if u can boot your phone and go to rom your phone is not bricked, bricking of a phone only happens if u cannot go pass through lg logo or your phone does not boot up, go to general thread here and u will find all your answers and even many more thing u will know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152306

also before posting u should give more details like which rom u flashed, recovery, kernel etc...

Ive been using the thread to Odin back to stock as im getting a replacement phone in a few days. Followed everything correctly, but Ive been getting a boot loop between the green android guy and the white Samsung startup logos. Redid the process in odin and now im getting "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" when I go to download mode. i know I have a saved Nandroid backup on my SDcard, I just cant get to it. I also have mini Kies installed on my computer if there is a way to fix it thru that. I cant figure out how to get into recovery mode either. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Im just trying to get my phone working until my replacement is here.
I did Odin again, but now im stuck in a boot loop between the greenm android guy and the white samsung startup screens.

That's because you had to factory reset and erase all data before flashing to stock. I had the same issue when flashing from dk4 to stock to lf4

This issue only occured when you uncheck Auto reboot in Odin. Try Odin again with Auto reboot checked
If you getting an boot loop, do exactly what I've done in Odin thread

Can't go to stock recovery in this case. This issue only occoured when Odin to stock ROM after using/flashing custom ROM that you forgot to format system or clean data. I've run into this problem before
It looks like after all this, Titanium Backup's backup was erased. I do have a Nandroid saved on my SDcard. Is there a way to pull everything from that? When I go to CWM and try to do a Nandroid, it says there isnt anything there. But When I connect to my computer, I can see the saved backup. I have been able to pull a few backed up apps off the Nandroid backup, but only certain ones or it says batch restore failed. Im wonder how it can see the Nandroids, but CWM cant? They're saved on my SDcard.
Is there another way Titanium Backup saves backups that I could possibly get to them? Im really trying to figure this out before my replacement phone gets here in a few days. I did backup everything, Im just having a difficult time restoring after the numerous problems Ive had thanks to Tmobile's "troubleshooting"
What are you currently running? If you are back to stock titanium won't function correctly as you have to be rooted. But since you mentioned cwm I wasn't sure.

Im just on stock but I am rooted. I just dont know where all my backups went after the bootloop and issues with reverting to stock after Tmobilr screwed up my phone trying to figure out why I kept getting "Call Ended" when trying to dial out.
Where is your nandroid backup currently located?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2
On my external SDcard/clockwork mod/backup/ whatever the date was.
Seems normal. Not sure why it wouldn't be visible. Sorry I can't be more help.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2
In recovery they are visible, but when I go to flash one it says no files found..
I was also stuck in a boot loop after attempting to get my phone back to stock since I got a replacement phone. Followed all of the instructions, but realized although I did a factory reset, I forgot to wipe data. So I simply got CWM through Odin....got into recovery wiped data....rebooted and voila! I'm back to stock no root. It took all of 1 minute to do. Maybe that will work for you too

This is how I get to recovery mode on my Samsung galaxy s blaze.
1.press the vol up + vol down + power button at the same time.
2.as soon as the Samsung logo light up I release power + vol down button but not releasing releasing vol up button but rather press it harder..and there it comes....may be someone might be having the difficulty I had before

I tried to update to the new ROM, but did not do a data wipe. I didnt know if it would wipe all my data, which I needed. I DID do a dalvik cache wipe...
I tried to boot into recovery, but it was no use. I cannot download any software on my computer, so no programs will work.
I need the phone ASAP. It gets stuck on the boot up. It displays the Samsung Galaxy Y screen, plays a different type of music from the original, and gets stuck on the black screen.

If there is any response lights or anything, it is possible to recover it. But you need a computer unfortunately. Don't go around saying cause your 13 is an excuse for not being able to do this. I'm 13. Anyway try as hard as you can and download Odin for your device and I don't know exact details cause your phone is different from mine, but Odin it to stock. Try asking around your device forums and find a guide in the development forum.

No i didn't use CWM or TWRP. When i use command fastboot i can see my device but when i use ADB he can't find it. I will try the clockwork mod recovery, you will hear from me if that works.
<----some time later----->
Okey nice i downloaded a recovery and used the command fastboot flash to get the recovery to it.
now i have a english recovery mode on.
Does anyone has good firmware/software that i can install from my sd so my phone is working good again?

I installed windows 7 on my phone. But the only problem i stays rebooting.
I formatted /boot and /factorysettting and now it is directly going to fastboot menu.
I searched for a boot.img but i couldn't find it. Does anyone has a link to a bootimage so i can fastboot that and that my phone is booting correctly?
Thanks much for help!
I really don't get what you have done, just try reflashing the rom if it goes to recovery, if not just install recovery again. Try to explayne it with a bit more details.
And just a tiny question, what did you installed?
Hey guys, I have a little or rather big problem regarding my LG P920. It only boots into CWM, but here the story:
A few days back I updated my phone to the newest version with the official LG Support tool. After this the performance of my phone went downhill. Scrolling, swiping, typing – all those things lagged and lagged.
So I decied to root my phone using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2366916
Everything worked out fine, I uninstalled some annoying system apps but found that the performance didn’t improve all too much. I went to the next step: custom ROM.
I used this guide: http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...s-custom-roms-fuer-anfaenger.html#post5147071
It’s German, so I’ll try to describe what exactly I did.
First I flashed a ported ICS:
1. I Installed the LG Flash tool 1.2
2. I downloaded this ICS (http://d-h.st/QgU : XBSA404_AP.bin and XBSA404_CP.fls) and also the LGP920_110622.dll
3. I uninstalled the LG drivers and installed the CDMA drivers (version 4.9.4) to make sure the phone is listed as ‘LGE CDMA USB Serial Port’ and changed it to port 41
4. I then flashed that ICS (with .bin and .fls), got to 80% and finished
5. The ICS booted with no problem (only problem: it didn’t seem to recognize my German SIM, but whatever)
Then I installed a new bootloader and CWM:
1. I downloaded Omap4boot v1.25a (forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1641950&d=1358098807)
2. And then installed the OMAP4430 drivers through the device manager
3. I downloaded the non-touch CWM v6.0.1.9
4. And then installed CWM using the ‘start_fastboot.bat’ from the omap4boot folder
After this I decided to flash CM 7.2:
1. I downloaded it from the official CM website and put it onto my SD Card
2. I started my phone into CWM using the button combination and made a backup first
3. I wiped data/factory reset and started to flash the .zip from my SD Card
4. At around 60% the progress bar got stuck at ‘Installung Update’ nothing happened for 30mins so I pulled the battery
5. I tried it again and again – no luck
After this is where it all went wrong (at least I think so)
I noticed that CWM gave me this error quite a few times: Can’t mount internal SD Card
I googled it and read somewhere to do a factory reset from the android menu.
So I restored my backup, rebooted into android, went into the menu and selected factory reset.
The phone went through some progress windows and then powered off and rebooted – into CWM.
From this point on I never got it to NOT boot into CWM.
I tried many things:
1. Restore backup again – no luck
2. Flash ROMS again (CM 7.2, 7 nightly, 10 nightly) – no luck (the installation actually finished, but reboots into CWM)
3. Flash stock ROM using the Flash tool (v21.e) – reboot into CWM
4. All kinds of combinations of wiping/formatting data/cache/dalvik/system/batterystats etc in CWM
5. This guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 and the rebooter tool mentioned at the end
6. Using the official LG Support tool to reset upgrade errors – stuck at 4% of installing
I saw another post which suggested to flash universal_recoveryloop_breaker.zip, but this apparently didn’t work and got the phone stuck at LG logo – should I even try it?
I saw other post with similar problems but always another model –p925 or p720 and not much information given about what they did, that’s why I went into detail and hope to find a cure
I saw drastic00's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819 suggested a lot but wanted to post this first before I try a second guide that might only make things worse.
I spend the last few days in front of my PC and phone but nothing worked – I’m starting to go nuts..
I am willing to try everything, to provide any information you might need to help me figure out how to fix this.
Thank you for any help provided – it is greatly appreciated
If stuck at LG logo try factory hard reset.
Try dreccons recovery loop breaker

It's not stuck at the LG Logo, it boots into CWM and I can go through everything and do everything in CWM.
Would you suggest I try your guide first or try hard reset? If your guide - what exactly should I do, where be cautious? And how do you perform a factory hard reset?

You said you flashed and it sticks at LG logo. If you are flashing the correct files, not a wrong binary, factory reset should fix that.
Can you enter download mode? i.e. hold vol up, connect usb to pc, insert battery. You should see "S/W". If not you might need xbsall's or Karim Kahale's unbrick guide. If you DO have download mode, you can just flash as in my guide. But I can't stress enough that drivers must be installed to pc correctly.
Ported ics is old and from the Korean device. Could be cmod is not compatible, dunno, but that could be the issue. In that case you may have a 'hard brick.' Wrong ROM with wrong firmware.
Wait so did u flash recovery loop breaker or not? I am confused. If not flash it. It will delete your recovery then you got to flash another but worth it

Sorry for the confusion: I didn't try to flash recovery loop breaker. I just saw another thread in which a guy had a similar problem to mine, someone suggested he should try loop breaker, he did and atferwards his phone got stuck at the LG Logo, that's why I hesitated to try this.

I don't know what exactly I have sorry, this is my first time rooting, flashing and all that.
The phone only boots into recovery. I can flash other ROMs, I can restore backups and do everything else in CWM, but when I reboot I get booted into CWM again.
I was hesitant to try the loop breaker, because I saw the other thread, but I will try it this afternoon and tell you how it went.
Just a quick question: what if I end up stuck at the LG Logo afterwards?
Update:
I flashed the recovery loop breaker and flashed CM7.2.
When I now start the phone the LG Logo appears for a few seconds, then a white screen with small dots/pixels comes up and the phone is stuck there..
sooooo.. i think this is not good.. right?
I started to prepare for drastic's guide, downloaded all the files and will do that tomorrow or the day after, or would you suggest something else I should try first?
I have never installed cmod so I don't know.
You can follow my guide if you want. Like I say, drivers must be installed correctly and you must pay attention to details.
Doing random things is not going to help you.
Why do u want cm 7 anyway? if I would want CM I would go for Cm 10 (my current rom lol) and If i would want GB i would one with 3D support

The loop breaker said to flash a new ROM afterwards, CM7 was the only thing I had at hand, so I tried it.
Right now I don't really care which ROM I flash, I just want to use my phone again :crying:
I'll try your guide if you don't have other suggestions so far, let's hope I don't end up in a recovery loop again - this is driving me mad
I will keep you posted on how it goes with your guide or if I have any questions. Thanks so far !

:confused?: So after you flashed loop breaker what exactly did you do? After flashing loop breaker u need new Recovery not ROM if you reboot and try get into recovery which is not there you gonna end up at lg logo. Is that what you did? Anyway if you do follow drastic00's guide you should be able to revive your phone..TWRP Recovery is integrated in xbsa rom (am I right drastic00? not sure) I would recommend you try xbsa v8 first then you can decide if u want different rom
Also drastic don't want to bring my stuff here but you know what I said about weird startup screen ? He probably got the same thing he said he sees white screen with pixels and dots . Still no clue what could be reason?
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
I have not had this particular problem so I don't know what could be the cause.
Flashing xbsall's v28B rooted ICS should recover the device as long as the phone can enter S/W mode. Yes, it has built in TWRP recovery, but it resides in system partition, not recovery partition. Any old TWRP backups you may have are probably not compatible with this method of custom recovery, so keep that in mind.
You will have a recovery loop when you try to factory reset your device using the soft reset like this
Settings>Backup & reset>factory data reset
Dont do this if you have custom recovery
To do a factory reset use cwm/twrp and choose wipe data/restore to factory setting
---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------
And to recover on this thing you have to reflash a stock firmware using kdz update or lg flashtool.

You will have a recovery loop when you try to factory reset your device using the soft reset like this
Settings>Backup & reset>factory data reset
Dont do this if you have custom recovery
To do a factory reset use cwm/twrp and choose wipe data/restore to factory setting

And to recover on this thing you have to reflash a stock firmware using kdz update or lg flashtool.

This is exactly what happened to me. I will try drastic's guide now, it uses stock ROM at one point if I'm not mistaken. I'll keep you posted what happens. Thank you!
It worked! My phone boots normally and everything is fine, yay :victory:
Thanks for all your help, now I just need to explore everything in this custom ROM
Is there a explanation or guide of all the apps in this ROM? I've installed XBSA v8, maybe I'll upgrade to vR3D soon, how much better is it?
Edit: On a second thought...
THIS ROM IS BASED ON CANADIAN ROGERS V30C AND IT HAS NATIVE SUPPORT FOR ENGLISH, FRENCH AND SOME ASIAN LANGUAGES.
IF YOUR LANGUAGE ISN'T ONE OF THEM YOU MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SMS NOT BEING DELIVERED CORRECTLY IF IT'S WRITTEN TO ANY OTHER LANGUAGE.

I think I'll stay with v8 then
Check xbsall's page for ROM details, linked at the top. :thumbup:
