Recently I got my Fuze in the mail and I wanted to try out some of the roms here at xda devs.
I played around with NATF winmo 6.1 rom and it was nice but soon after I wanted to try RRE's version of 6.5 I followed all the directions for flashing the rom to sd card. but after the flashing I noticed that the old boot splash screen from NATF's win mo 6.1 was still there and I wanted to know how do i fix that.
I was not too sure how to word this or search for it in that matter but any help would be greatly appreciated
Might try reflashing, then, when you see the screen "tap to set up your screen" (where you press the + on the screen in the middle & corners), do a HARD RESET. hold down volume down, press the center "ok" key, the one inside the ring of light, press the reset button on the bottom of the phone, release the reset button BUT CONTINUE to hold the volume down, ok button til the screen comes up, follow the directions (tells you to press the volume UP key). Let it load, and see if that fixes it.
Tried that no luck
It's kinda weird you would think that after flashing a rom everything would be gone but thanks for your help
go to natf's 4.7 thread and read the first couple posts... your answer is there. the reason it wasnt removed because RRE's rom doesnt have a splash screen.
you could always add your own splash screen...
Thanks to all for the info I will look at that.
I still find it weird that that would happen but you guys on more on the level than I am with all of this.
Oh yea and is there a way to install a flash screen on a working device or do i have to cook it into the rom and re-flash it.

I think this is the link on installing a splash screen..... if I'm not mistaken, you don't have to reflash or cook it into a ROM but I could be mistaken.... i think you just format your picture then place it into your windows folder somewhere.... read on.

Hey all
Before anyone mentions that i should be searching around more, i would like to say that i've been on multiple threads and they all state the same thing (use NVflash to flash CWM and then boot into CWM but the solution did not work for me past flashing CWM and then trying to access recovery after) and i wasn't able to find one that had a similar problem as mine.
I have CWM flashed through NVflash and was running CM7.1 RC1. I took a screenshot with the 'shootme' app and proceeded to look at the gallery to make sure it came out okay. The gallery crashed and i was sent to the home screen. I swiped to a different homescreen when my phone froze halfway through the transition to the next screen. No combination of buttons/long presses were able to get me out of it so i went ahead and did a battery pull. So my dilemma is that now i'm stuck at the LG boot logo with no blue status bar under it. It freezes there and will not do anything every time i boot up. volume down+power does not give me access to recovery nor does any other button combo get me past the LG boot logo.
Are there any other methods i might be able to use like ADB or what not to get myself out of this situation? or at least into recovery? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i've been searching for hours with little help and my eyes are starting to get strained.
hmmm.. I know it's a simple question, but I gotta ask.. are you holding the pwr and volume down button long enough? you have to keep holding it even after you see the LG screen.. Keep holding until you see the 2nd screen?
If so.. do the nvflash again? Edit: Not sure if I would do this without getting further guidance tho..

This. I remember when I boot looped my phone I had the problem of letting go of the volume key too early, you need to hold down volume and power from a totally powered off phone until recovery actually starts and you see the green "android" logo of CWM.
Try re-flashing CWM, NVFlash CAN fail. There is literally nothing you can do within the OS that will prevent recovery from working. Either you did something wrong somewhere along the recovery process or you discovered an entirely new problem with the phone. I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's the former.
Thanks for the response guys. I wish that it was the case of not holding the buttons long enough. I have tried numerous times with the buttons held down for a long period of time. I even held the combo down for almost 5 minutes a few times.
Every time i try to boot up, it won't go past the LG boot screen so i would pull the battery out and go through flashing CWM through NVflash again. I'm sure I'm not missing anything because everything goes through and gets sent to the phone successfully.
I did happen to run into a thread that was closely similar to mine but his method was to just keep reflashing CWM and the stock recovery back and forth every time it failed until it turned on. I might have to try that if i cannot figure out this problem out soon. Not being able to use this phone is killing me! heh.
I just joined your club. Wow this sucks.
So apparently this is a whole new problem that's been found? Every other help thread seems to point to using NVflash or remaking the partitions due to a bad flash using an O2x based file instead of G2x.
But none of those solutions come close to doing anything. There has been some people with the same problem as me but aren't proactive at all enough to get someone's attention, so i'm guessing this problem is getting pushed to the side with people just going about getting their phones replaces/buying new ones.
I did happen to run into a thread on paulobrien/modaco's forum that had people using NVflash to get out of any sticky situation like this. It just reverts everything back to the stock factory settings but with root. We cannot use this though because he hasn't built it to be compatible with our LGP999's because everything was built for their UK LGP990's. Maybe that's a start to getting this solution fixed?
I hate to say this, bit you might have to call t mobile and get a replacement. Flash back to stock recovery and they won't know you messed with anything.

Don't send back....you'll get same defacement a battery pull go into nvflah and go back stock then flash nv flash fix pArtitions
As I have mentioned before, NVflash does NOT give me access to my recovery let alone solve anything else. NVflash DOES work and does sucessfully send both CWM and the stock recovery but when I try to boot into either of them, let alone just power on normally, it simply DOES NOT go past the LG boot screen. it just hangs there doing nothing at all until I pull the battery out and do the same process over until it just hangs again.
while it is on/stuck at the LG screen, my computer does not recognize it so i cannot even try and run ADB commands. It does however, recognize it when I plug it in using the volume buttons held down when I use NVflash but there's nothing else I can do besides use NVflash obviously.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? Because my phone is doing this...
I attempted to restore my phone back to the wrong backup that was from a galaxy sII (2.3.4 i think); needless to say, the restore failed. I then restarted my phone from CWM and it gets stuck at LG screen.
I have tried to NVflash back to stock; nothing. same thing reflashing back to CWM.
ideas?
have you tried this link out yet?

same problem..... anybody find something to fix this yet?
From what I heard is that you need to remove the battery, then boot into recovery or something.

Use smartflash for the p990 but only use the p999 ap.bin file which will put the rom and kernel back to stock p999.
Rom for recovery always fixes any soft brick back to stock 2.3.3 OTA. It's saved my phone multiple times from stuck on S/W screen to being stuck on lg logo or even the dreaded can't mount sdcard-cache errors in cwm.

I used the following method when Clockworkmod became corrupted and was unable to mount my sd card. I had just wiped everything on my phone intending to install a new rom when the issue happened. I could not even get to the S/W upgrade screen. It saved my phone. Hope it works for you.

Glad for you that it worked.
Kwes1020 pointed me in the right direction last week. Be sure to give a thanks to ILUHA_89 who came up with the fix.
Amazing how people are soo lost without providing them link after link to other threads. They are soo lazy and can't follow simple directions, each time i get a new phone i go to that section on xda and soak up all the information as it usually is already there. It's just funny is all i guess.

It's really not that big a deal. I was brand new to android once and asked all sorts of things.
I, like you, happen to read everything I can get my hands on. Some struggle going through all the info. I was here the day the forum opened, so I kind of remember where everything is.
Some are lazy and others just have no idea what the heck is going on and are intimidated by certain processes. I would rather help someone instead of listening to them ***** about their broken phone.
Hello! I just recently got my infuse, I had serendipity build 3 and I wanted to give MIUI a try (people said it had worked) and my cwm began to install then proceeded to say it was checking something but I can't quite recall what it was. I know it was a noob move but plea don't badger me, help ASAP would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't boot, the samsung logo shows up then "galaxy s" for a split second. When I attempt to connecty charger it goes into an endless bootloop every few seconds. I am not at my computer but will be in a few hours, as I am on vacation. Thank you very much to anyone who helps.

Probly not bricked, did you do a full wipe before flashing?
Try booting into recovery again and wipe data/factory reset
And wipe catch..
Hope it helps..

to flash miui follow these instructions
Flash with cwm, then when it won't reboot pull battery and boot by holding volume up down and power. Flash miui again and then wipe cache factory reset, then reboot
This doesn't belong in Development. Take this to the Q&A forum.
I know that sounds rude, but cluttering this forum with posts from people that can't follow the rules is what makes it harder to find what you are looking for.
Depending on your situation though. You should be able to hold down the volume buttons and then hold down the power button until it reboots, let go of the power button and boot into CWM. Conceivably from there you can flash a compatible ROM and kernel and be good to go.
Be aware though that in the future posts of this nature should be put in the Q&A forum.
Good luck.
Hello all.
Today mine optimus froze at LG logo screen for no reason, and its been like this no matter what i do.
I already updated it with the LG update tool on the emergency/recovery option, it downloaded a 368mb file and flashed into, but when I turn on the phone again it get stuck on the logo anyway.
I can't get into recovery mode either (vol down + 3d+ power), it ALWAYS get stuck on the LG logo.
Then I also tried flashing as mentioned here showthread.php?t=1540163 , it completes all the process but again when I turn the phone on it get stuck.
Anyone hane any idea? I'm about to throw it on th toilet
I had the same problem, deleted the drivers, tried again. Somehow it worked after a few tries.
I'm about to flash with the lg emergency /recovery for the 12th time haha.
I don't see how I will get anything diferent from the other tries.
I have the same problem after installing a Thiaiz rom.
Can you explain step by step how you recover from this issue?
Thank you
Are you sure you are flashing it right? Anyway try this.
Step 1
download
V21a from here:
http://content.wuala.com/contents/caroceiro/optimus 3d/roms/ORIGINALES/V21A_00.kdz?dl=1
or
V21d from here:
http://content.wuala.com/contents/caroceiro/optimus 3d/roms/ORIGINALES/V21D_00.kdz?dl=1
Step 2
download this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=887870&d=1328537753
Step 3
make sure you have installed your lg phone drivers before continuing to the next step
Step 4
unzip LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.zip
you will find a filename Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs
run it
if everything runs ok it will take you to the upgrade tool if not it will probably show you a windows script host error
if that happens try running it manualy from folder
LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
as soon as KDZ_FW_UPD.exe select Type: 3qct and PhoneMode: Emergency
select your downloaded kdz file , now you should take off you battery , press volume up and power on the phone , connect the usb cable and after 5-6 sec release the buttons and put the batery
Press Launch software update
It will take some time to decompress the files but if everything is ok it will start.
You will see the progress with various messages the last message ends with 0
That should do the job..
I will try this again but the links are incomplete!
Did it again, got the 0 on the end but still stuck at lg logo when booting it up again.

One correction: LG has removed v21D from their servers almost 10 days ago.
As I post above, I had the same problem.
The only way to solve it was go to the local LG support.
They verified that the phone (it was been rooted by me and the custom CWM installed) was in the warranty period and, without any questions in 2 days they put the phone in my hands as new with the acual gingerbread firmware. No costs for me.
Good service!

OK i fixed the links although you already found the KDZ files.
Ok try this
remove your usb cable
remove your battery
insert battery again
press and hold volume down button
press power button
(you dont have to press 3d button thats for CWM Recovery)
after 8-10 seconds it will show you LG logo
release the power button and then the volume button
It will take you to the recovery menu
select yes
then again wipe EVERYTHING
ALL 4 OPTIONS
you can move with volume up and down and with menu key you run the commands
Good Luck
Got my fingers hurting after so many times i've tried it already.

I'm starting to think it is a hardware problem of some kind.

Doh, sorry for the noob act hehe.
Just flashed it again without the battery. It wen't all the way through 100%, didn't stop at 6% to put the battery on =/ guess what... Didn't work.
I will try it again to see if I hit the 6% stop. Worth a try.
I'm pretty sure I'm not skipping any step. I do uninstall every single time the LG drivers. Its pretty annoying.
Trying on a diferent computer right now.
Is there any way to install CWM without having a system? I cant Boot and I cant press any button at Android recovery, the what happened is that I reseted it all and then flashed the old recovery mod thinking that the boot would resolve but it just got worse, im desperate can someone help me?
What phone is this on? You should really be posting in the appropriate section and CWM thread...
