I was curious if anybody could help me. I have a g2x from Wind (p-999dw). I am pretty new to rooting and such but wanted to update my phone. I got it rooted successfully and then tried installing the CM7 Rom update. Backed up with cwm first and then continued. Now my phone is pretty f'd. Every time i try to turn it on it just hangs on the LG screen. I tried the flash recovery method with nv flash and was able to get a cwm recovery menu up but when i try loading the previous working setup, it says successful, i restart the phone and now i get the LG logo with the blue status bar below (which wasn't there before I used the flashing tool) it which moves for a few seconds, then freezes. I've tried every option in the menu and i still cant get past the LG logo screen. Can anybody help me? I've spent hours trying and can't seem find a way to fix it. Don't care if i lose all my data and apps just want my phone to work. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I believe you need to remove the battery then try to boot into recovery (hold volume down and power)

Need to pull battery let sit for a couple seconds reinsert battery. Hold volume rocker down and power until you see the second LG screen should have some blue and purple surrounding the LG logo. After that select wipe data factory reset, then go to mounts and storage and select wipe cache/data/system. If you want do each one twice. Then you can go through the process to flash cm7, don't forget to flash gapps (google apps) as well. If you don't flash those you won't be able to sync your phone with Google and retrieve your contacts and such... hope this helps.

If none of the above works, rom for recovery will definetly fix your problem. Check the development thread it's in there.

I recently installed this ROM and I thought it was working fine. I did a restart of the device and now I seem stuck at a android screen that it doesn't see to be going pass. The android word just display as a light goes across the screen and then it seems to cycle again.
I can't seem to boot into recovery either to put restore the back up I made, because when I get to the white fast boot screen the selection won't scroll down to recovery when I hit the down volume button. It just stays there and then tries to install a patch for a radio I believe.
Any thoughts on why this is stuck at the android word screen or how I can get back to my back up and restore that. Thanks

Try removing your sd card and then vol down and power. Then once you're past fastboot white page pop it back in in time for recovery, and do your thing. Try clearing caches first. If not then restore a backup.

Yup I think I seen that in another forum to a similar type problem, I removed the SD card and was able to get back into clockwork recovery. I wipes all data/settings, cache partition and then loaded the rom again.
First thing I did was do a reboot so. So far it didn't get stuck and booted back up. Will do another reboot later tonight to see if it holds. Thanks for the tip
I'd reccomenf going to the dhd forum and getting the latest version (new one coming out soon)

Hi,
So my SGS2 Skyrocket is stuck in a boot loop. I've have the Sky Icecream Sandwich ROM installed for a few months now, and haven't changed anything recently.
What is happening is my phone with vibrate every 2-3 seconds with a blank screen. When I take out the battery/power source, and put it back in, the phone shows the Samsung splash (not the Android splash) for a few seconds, then goes blank and does the vibrating again.
I've tried plugging it into the computer, but the power it gets from USB turns it on and into the boot loop, so I can't get it into any kind of recovery mode. I also tried the Vol+Home+Power key combo, with nothing.
Any idea what could cause this/what the course of action should be? Thanks!
Turn phone on and wait 2 hours. If it wont work do what you use to do when you booting recovery mode. (home screen i guess). But hold it longer.
Good luck
nathan-96, do you have any idea what caused this? Because what's concerning me is that it's not getting past the Samsung icon (before android starts actually booting).
When you say turn it on, do you mean just put in the battery? Because the loop starts right when I put the battery in, it doesn't wait for me to press anything.
No, I meant turning it on. Hold centre button and put battery in. Just hold it for a moment. Hopefully you will reach recovery.

Can you access download mode instead of recovery? If so you could try re flashing something with Odin...
Definitely try getting the battery out for a few minutes and boot the phone while maintaining the combination to enter recovery

AT&T Skyrocket BOOT LOOP Cyanongenmod 10
Hi ,
I´am playing with my Skyrocket to run the Cyanogenmod 10 and always I got stuck at Boot Loop .
This is what I have and did :
- Running AT&T Stock ICS 4.0.4 UCFL6 rooted ( I have a back up of this)
- CWM 6.0.1
- Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly Dec 07 , but I also tried with Cyanogenmod 10 Stable
- Gapps
- Factory Reset / wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik
- Mount/storage format system
- install using CWM Cyanogenmod
- install using CWM gapps
- Mount/ storage format cache
- reboot
I also tried to wipe twice as other threads say.
So I´am still with the boot loop
I returned my backup to the ICS ...
Thanks in advance !!!
Skyrocket Bootloop
Whats happening is the power button acts as if its being pressed. Thats why you have the bootloop and the phone turns on as soon as you put the battery in.
Try repeating pressing the power button or hold the power button without the battery for a few seconds. :fingers-crossed:
So, I successfully rooted my GX2 (p999), and I successfully installed Clockworkmod Recovery, and followed the steps to install EaglesBlood. Everything went ok until I actually tried to turn on my phone.
It WILL turn on, and it will start to boot up Eaglesblood, but then the screen goes black for about 3 seconds, then the Eaglesblood logo shows for about 5 seconds, then it blacks out for 3 seconds, then shows the logo for 5 seconds, etc etc etc, for as long as there's battery to do so.
I tried going into the boot recovery to reinstall, but I think the Eaglesblood installation removed Clockworkmod recovery? It will show the recovery loading bar, then reboot the phone (instead of showing the recovery menu).
Is there a way that I can connect my phone to my PC without being able to boot up? Have I bricked my phone?
I know other phones have a downloading mode. Does the GX2 have that, and if so is there a fix with it?
The G2x is pretty much unbrickable to an extent... When you rooted the phone did you use a one click method or nv flashed cwm?

Edit: I was misusing the term boot loop. Stuck at LG screen / CM boot animation.
Last night I rooted my phone, installed clockworkmodrecovery, and made a backup. I installed CM7 and all was more or less fine at this point from an OS point of view.
The SD card wouldn't mount, the brightness and volume were both way too low even at max, and there were other minor annoyances, so I decided to put things back the way they were while I did some more research and restored the backup I made.
This was apparently a bad idea. It's stuck at the LG logo permanently.
I can still access CWM recovery and have tried wiping everything it lets me wipe, restoring to factory, redoing the restore, reinstalling CM after a restore, and various combinations thereof.
With CM installed the boot animation keeps looping so I assume that's boot looping. I also assume the constant LG logo is a boot loop.
The screen never turns off though. Is it still a bootloop or am I misunderstanding anything? Any suggestions on what I can try?
Thanks.
Bootloop is when the phone won't start completely; it shuts off after a second or two. Stuck at LG should theoretically be cured by factory reset. Try doing that in cwm.
Or, long press power to shut down phone. Then hold volume down and power for several seconds. You should get a black screen with white text. Press power twice to confirm.

Factory reset through CWM still leaves me stuck at LG after restarting.
I assume the second part of your message was how to accomplish the same thing if CWM weren't installed, but Power+VolDn brings me to CWM.
Would the following link be a good start to try fixing it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836
Looks like it to me, but figured I'd run it past somebody else before I just start making things worse.
I'm not totally sure how/if the two are different. The second option is 'factory hard reset.' Try holding vol down and then also press and hold power. It might take a few trys to get it right.
Xbsall's unbrick guide is for if you have a really bad brick from installing a wrong rom, etc. It does not sound like you have that. If the factory hard reset does not work, personally I would instead flash one of xbsall's rooted ICS files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
But that is just my take.
I'll assume you know what you're talking about and I'm just not getting it, but Power+VolDn is how I've been accessing CWM this whole time. If there's an alternate timing of pressing those buttons to get back to the other factory restore method, I'm not seeing how. CWM wipe / factory restore remains ineffective.
I've got the files from your last post downloading and I'll try the ICS route in a bit.
Thanks for your help so far.
Phone is up and running. Thanks a bunch, your tutorial was rather well done.
I wasn't able to use v1.1 of the flash tool as it wouldn't launch, but 1.2 worked just as well.
Super! You seem to be someone that can read and follow instructions
On my phone (xbsall's ICS) I access recovery by pressing volume down when keys flash during boot. FYI If you want to change from twrp to cwm, you can install cwm from the included 'P940 recovery' app included in the .bin.

@Wulf2k Hey, question... I have not set up a permanent Dev-Host account, so I am wondering:
Are the links for 'bag of goodies' and the P920 .dll still good?
I think they go dead if noone downloads for 30 days or something like that.
Every link was still active for me, I didn't have to find alternate download links for anything.
TWRP wasn't something I'd ever used before, but it seemed good enough for my purposes. Think I'll stick with it.
I haven't really looked into online storage of large files for a while, but have you considered Dropbox? I've used it for small stuff in the past and I don't think it disappears after a month.
Hi there everyone, recently signed up on here as xda seems to be the holy grail when it comes to all thing smartphone.
I'm fairly new to these type of phones and recently was given an infuse 4g that was suffering a power button problem.
The power button problem has been resolved with a new one and the phone was working fine for 3 / 4 weeks.
One day the phone shut down by itself and entered the boot loop syndrome. Factory clearing it hasnt seemed to do anything to resolve the problem as it continued to reboot continuosly.
I came across the thread about gtg ultimate unbrick guide in the developers forum and this seemed like a good way to go, get the phone all the way back to stock and then work from there.
Kies installed and all drivers installed fine. downloaded the gtg unbrick pack and followed the instructions line for line. Odin reports everything passed, took about 2:59 to complete.
phone rebooted and continued to do boot loop so went into recovery as stated and wiped data and cache and rebooted again.
phone is still stuck in some sort of boot loop, but it gets to display the 1st of the setup android phone screens, then just as you get a chance to select next to go onto the next screen, the phone reboots.
Any one have any idea what could be going wrong or as im fairly new to this, is there anything im doing or not doing right that is causing this.
The phone is an at&t infuse.
regards
Trevor
sound like an issue with stuck power button. it's a know issue with this model. google "infuse 4g boot loop" there's few youtube videos you can try.

I've already replaced the power button with a new one, but the technician i use did say he will remove the power button completely to see if it does the same, just to rule that out

just redone the gtg flash and it boots into the os (ver2.2.1) and then within about 5 seconds turns off and reboots
can the new on off switch be faulty......im not so sure as in recovery mode, i can leave it on that screen forever and it doesnt attempt to reboot
Tried the one click repair with hemdial or what its called, updating thisnpost via a moto defy mini so excuse any typos.. The hemdiaOl just seemed to meas it up further. So got baxk into downliad mode with odin and reflashed to gtg brick recovery. Not fixed, still booting but at least the screen is now viewable.
To recover one of these phones, is there like a definitive guide as to what to do to first prepare one of these phones for recovery, ie, first, flash to this with cwm and then clear data, cache, dalcik etc. like an idiots fuide, i feel i may need one
Regards
