[Q] Bricked an LG P505

How do I unbrick an LG P505? I rooted it, deleted a bunch of apps that I never used and when I deleted Nuance something or other it kept giving me an error telling me it had stopped working (apparently it was running on the background) and I couldn't get it to shut up so I shut off the phone. When I turned it back on again it was stuck on the android logo.
I've tried hard reset, but it gave me an error right after the LG setup thing and now whenever I try it again it gets stuck on the android logo screen again.
Any help?

Are you having custom recovery or stock one? And what error did you get when you tried to start recovery

I didn't get to install custom recovery. Right now I managed to get to the fastboot mode screen, but I'm not sure that's gonna help in any way...
How do I start recovery?

To start recovery hold volume down +home+power until it comes if recovery starts means u are not bricked but if you are getting fastboot error means your mobile is bricked to unbrick follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046 and be sure to see every page of the thread for problems that may occur while doing it and their solutions
It works with p500 but I don't know about p509...

p505r stuck at lg screen after fastboot fix wiped everything
my wifi kept saying error so I thought id try flashing my phone to a new rom/kernel and I was stuck in fastboot mode as well, I came upon this fastboot fix using cmd etc and it deleted all files on my p505r, and now I can get it to emergency mode OR it stays stuck at the lg logo... and no I cant get into recovery, it loads the android and box thing a progess bar shows up for 3 seconds then the phone reboots again...
im really running out of ideas, can someone please help??? I would really like to give my mom back her phone asap...
so to cover everything again:
phone can go into EMERGENCY MODE or be stuck at the lg logo... no other option is available...

HELP - stuck in boot (rooted cyanogen mod)

hi i have a samsung captivate i897. i bought it sim free from the states (u'm in uk) rooted running cyanogen mod & miui. i've had it 8months and its been perfect.
i'm no tech guru so i've never done anything else to the phone since i got it.
recently i hada problem with it forcing close on nearly application (see thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936862) but i did a little clean up and uninstalled some apps to free up space and that seemed to help for 13 days.
today i powered it on and browser forced close so i switched if off but when i switched it on again it's now stuck in (i think its called) boot loop - i get the "samsung galaxy s" animation and cyanogen mod then i usually have one that says "xiaomi" and a little music sound play. its this one that keeps looping. so instead of getting the xiaomi animation & music once then it going to the lock/enter pin screen, it just continues to repeat.
i have no idea what to do.
i tried to long press power key but nothing happens.
really hope someone can help. i appreciate any help given but please bear in mind i'm a TOTAL NOOB at this kind of stuff so try to explain things as much as possible for me.
thanks.

Yes, you are stuck in a bootloop. Just boot into recovery and do a clean install.

Download TWRP recovery for your handset. then install using still recovery mode.
TWRP installing using current recovery mode
Installation methord:-
-use Your current recovery.
-update zip file(TWRP Recovery) from sdcard.
-ok
-Reboot your mobile.
-Then install your custom rom using latest recover mode (TWRP Recovery).

A custom recovery is quite likely already installed. Just do the key combination at boot (for your device) to boot into recovery mode. You'd only need that if you want to change the current recovery.

+1. I have a HTC One X that was stuck in bootloop a couple of days ago. I think I flashed some wrong files which caused this issue. I then followed the steps in the Android Revolution HD ROM thread and voila! - had a clean install running smoother than ever! I didn't mind losing all of my data (since everything was already backed up on my PC).
Just do a clean install and your phone will work perfectly fine.

I'd suggest you to start your phone in recovery mode and re-install the software (if you cannot backup your files).

[Q] PLEASE HELP! Completely stuck.

Hello XDA! New member here with a huge problem.
So I recently flashed Helly Bean 4.2.2 onto my Nexus S 4G and it was great, really fast! But for some reason, when my phone died and I powered it back on, it was stuck at the boot animation. I still cannot get passed it. Now I know an issue like this can be solved through the recovery (I use TWRP) but some months ago, my power button messed up. It's as if it's always in the pushed in position even though it isn't, it still clicks like the first day i got it. My phone automatically boots up when i connect my charger or put a charged battery in. I can get into fastboot mode but due to messed up power button, I can't scroll down to the recover option and even if i could, I wouldn't be able to execute it. So that's my problem, I'm stuck at the boot animation, and I'm stuck at the fastboot menu. Is there anyway I can reset factor settings/flash another rom/ or even revert back to stock and unroot from fastboot using some program?? I'd prefer not to lose anything on my SD card though, but if it has to be done then so be it. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

first.. did you eneble Usb debuging when you had a working rom..?? If yes then you should try this while you have the boot loop to get into recovery.. you could then make a factory reset and you should be fine.. I hope this helps you..

I did have USB-debugging on, always do. I've tried booting into recovery using the quick tools but all it says "booting into recovery" and nothing happens. My phone just stays on the boot animation
Thanks anyway though!

I can't boot my tablet into recovery mode

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't boot into recovery mode. I have twrp installed. Once I get to the usb symbol, that's as far as it gets. It's like it freezes. I don't know. I tried for about a half hour. I finally gave up. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please reply. Thanks

Sounds like you are on the old boitloader with 4 icons. The USB icon is for fastboot and won't do anything more once you select it......so that is normal.
Using the down volume control select rck and choose volume up to go to recovery.

Thanks for your help. Where do I find the latest bootloader and instructions on how to install it? I seen it on xda's site, but not sure where. Ok, I found the file and instructions, but how can I flash this in recovery if I can't boot into recovery?

You need to use the fast boot method from a pc.

My tablet freezes just before it reaches recovery mode
I'm playing hell with this tablet. Now it freezes just before it reaches recovery mode. And, I'm not sure how to get into fastboot mode. I've checked these forums, and the internet, but I can't find instructions. I don't use this tablet much except when I go out of town for work. It's rooted with an old rom. So my experiance with this table is slim. If anyone can help me with this problem you would be my hero for the day. Thanks to the people that have taken the time to help my this far.

I need help please
I have a 500.00 paper wate. My tablet will not boot. The screen stays on and I can't shut it off. I have adb installed, but my comp. does not see it. I checked the device manager and it is not there. i'm asuming it can't see it if it won't boot. If the comp. can't see the device you can't use adb. I don't know what to do. Please someone help me.

Does it actually get to the bootloader screen with the icons? If so then it is probably recoverable.
Sounds like you have a combination of wrong drivers on your PC and something got wiped on the device.
Have you seen Buster99's fixes here?

It does not get to the screen with the three icons. I freezes on the screen with the asus logo, and the wording in the up left of the screen. It says that it is booting to recovery. That's as far as it gets

I have tried all of three but each time the just goes blank and dosen't work even when press power button.I have my backup so i dont need roms. Plzzzzzzzzzzz help:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Try Factory Reset and Clear Cache from Stock Recovery.

I've tried that too, but nothing happens ...
Again I clarify the symptoms:
Point 1 - When the phone starts, shows the motorola logo and the message "Error CustomerID Contact Dealer Boot to Suspend / MDCT mode: 0000:00000000:000000 cc.". Then the screen gets black and nothing happens
Point 2-If I turn on the phone by holding down the volume keys (+ / -) and the power button (boot mode selection menu) and select any of the options ... the screen goes black and nothing happens
Point 3 - If I turn on the phone by holding down the volume key (-) and the power button (ap fastboot flash mode) ... I can connect the phone, start and finish the flashing process correctly. When the process ends it happens again point 1 or point 2
It may be a hardware failure?

Last, but not the least, I hope you are using the correct FXZ file for your region?

EDIT
@mithun23
after flashing attempt number six:
I could enter the bp tools mode, the phone boot, and it works.What i can do in this mode?
Why I still can not boot normally?

I installed bmm, but there is a problem ... boot menu manager requires root ...
when I try to root the phone, the process automatically restarts the phone and gets stuck on the motorola logo (since it no longer resets normally) ... then the root process can never be completed :crying:
I will continue doing more tests

when the phone starts normally, something similar to the root process of jelly bean leak happens ...
the method for jelly bean leak was something like this (the swapp method):
1 - the phone began in ap fastboot mode
2 - using a command line, the ics boot.img sends to the phone
3 - then the phone is unplugged from the usb cable and restarted
4 - the phone boots and gets a black screen
5 - plug the phone to the usb cable again and run the root tool for ics
5 - the phone restart 3 times (the root process is done)
6 - restart the phone in ap fast boot again
7 - using a command line, the jelly bean boot.img sends to the phone
8 - restart the phone and all is done
so....what is happening with my atrix 2 is something like step 4, is like boot.img is missing or corrupted

SOLVED : I boot using bp tools, then i found a root method that works , finally i get my phone rooted...so i've installed bmm and booted fine again....thx to those who takes the time to answer in this post

If BMM is not appearing at startup, then FXZ is only option !!
FXZ (with your region)---->>root--->> install BMM---->> flash ROM.
Watch BMM video tutorial available in general section, for proper BMM usage
