1st person with totally bricked G2x

SO i think I totally bricked my phone. Any input would be great. MMy phone boots up and is stuck on lg screen. I tried flash CWM and stock recovery but nothing. Any ideas or should i just send back and get a new one
I really mucked this one up

It's not a brick if it turns on! But I'm fairly new to this phone and I'm not familiar with it at all Normally I would suggest to fastboot flash the new OFFICIAL CWM recovery image, but I don't even know where to begin with fastboot on this phone

It would probably be a little helpful (if you want help) if you let everyone know what you were doing when you "bricked" your phone. That way people know where to start in assisting you.

I had a infinite loop problem on mine. I just restored to stock.
Turn phone off (pull battery if needed)
Turn on while holding volume down + power button

What happens when you try to boot into recovery mode?

OK here is what I did to brick my device.
I wanted to do a factory reset and I used clockwork recovery to do so.
Wat I didn't know what that Clockwork recovery was going to format my system.
I can only get into fast boot via vol up+vol+down+power
Cannot get back to stock recovery or CWM. Tried flashing via fastboot method
My phone just goes to LG screen no loading bar
Currently the only function is fastboot

Did you try formatting via Vol-Down + Power?

Yes I did but same result stuck Lg screen no loading bar.
Capacitive touch also are not lit appear to be not working

1) Fastboot flash the official CWM recovery image
2) download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
3) put the NANDROID in the correct folder on your sdcard: /sdcard/_ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup/
4) restore via recovery

I flashed official CWM recovery image numerous times via fastboot and phone just gets stuck at lg screen. Once again vol up+power and vol down+pwer does nothing
Is there another fastboot method or adb method to restore CWM?

did the same thing it bricked my phone does nothing else than start up then freezes. f-ING pissed

The best thing with Nvidia phones and tablets is that its barely impossible to brick your phone. If you think you bricked it - you just need NV flash and either the stock rom or stock recovery and you are back to normal
I have done that with my old G-tablet - it was a piece of cake to fix it.

is there an nv flash for mac?

thought i did the same thing!
if you can get it into format hit the home button. hopefully vol+down+power will get you there. pull your battery and you may just get lucky if done enough times? i would keep trying. good luck

[Q] Question about recovery OG Droid

I cannot get the recovery flash to stick. My phone is rooted and I downloaded ROM Manager and flashed clockworkmod. I pressed boot into recovery and it worked.
I rebooted the phone and then turned it off. I hold power and "x" and it loads the stock recovery with the triangle and exclamation point, I press volume up and camera and it's the stock recovery mode.
I go back into ROM Manager and flash alternate recovery (SPrecovery) and then I turn off phone and boot with "x" and power and it goes into SPRecovery. I then reboot and then turn the phone off and it goes back to stock and I cannot get back into the SPrecovery mode from power off.
Why does it seem like it keeps resetting? Am I doing something wrong? I've tried flashing clockwork about three times and I can only access by pressing the boot into recovery on the app but not from a powered off state.
Why does it do this?
Android 2.2.2 FRG83G stock ROM.

I posted this a week ago and got 0 responses... does no one have any ideas or links you can send my way to help me out?
Should I try and flash an alternative recovery manually and not use Rom Manager? Any tutorials for that?

booting clockworkmod recovery gives me a blank screen

I used ROM manager to flash clockworkmod and when I touched reboot into recovery mode, the screen just goes blank with the buttons still half lit. Nothing happens.
This is a Optimus V that's been rooted. I'm trying to flash a Cyanogenmod rom and this is a step I have to take before doing so.
Anyone know what's going on here? Any general tips?

you have to reflash a recovery

[Q] Rooted, bad recovery, and stuck in bootloop

I scoured the forums, but have not been able to find out what I can do to solve my problem. So here it is.
I rooted my phone (to play around with some settings, what have you) and flashed TWRP recovery onto it. I got an error msg when booting up, so I decided to push an original recovery back onto the phone, because it wouldn't go to TWRP. I followed a guide (which I can't find now) to push back a stock version of recovery and it failed. My phone would boot normally just fine, but when I tried to go to recovery it would loop.
The OTA update came today, and dumbass me pressed continue (not thinking) and now I am stuck in a boot loop, and cannot get out of it.
Cannot get into recovery.
Cannot get into download mode.
Got any ideas?
Thanks

Same Problem
I have pretty much the same problem. Please help!

well without recovery/download mode working or the phone being in fastboot mode there really isn't much that can be done, you can always try to claim on warranty

boot loop
So, let me get this straight. If it failed when you tried to install the stock recovery, then you still have the TWRP recovery right?
I ran into a boot loop problem earlier when I tried upgrading TWRP. I just couldn't access my recovery so here is what I tried:
Code:
Turn your phone off.
Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
Let go of both buttons
Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
Your custom recovery should appear on screen.
Try the steps above and see if you can get into a recovery. Once you do maybe try resetting. Hope that helps.

S6 Stuck on Samsung S6 powered by Android screen

Hi everybody,
I guess i need some help, i got a S6 with a strange problem. It's stuck on the Samsung S6 powered by Android screen.
I tried almost everything. It's not my own phone so it's kinda hard to know exactly what caused the problem.
The story is that it was running perfectly with some custom rom, when using skype it suddenly shut down and got stuck on the logo. Now, i can go into download mode but not into recovery. So, i flashed twrp with odin with no problem, odin says completed. But when i start recovery it only says "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and stays on that combined with the s6 boot logo. After that i tried flashing the stock rom again with odin , also going perfectly but same story , stuck on logo. I also tried 5.1.1 , 6.0.1 , bootloader, kernel, etc etc but all of them same story, stuck on logo....
Now i tried restoring the device with smart switch, and it did that perfectly with no errors, but after it got finished it restarted and u guess it...... stuck on logo!
So... i'm running out of ideas, any of u got some?
Thanx in advance

go into what recovery you have, stock or custom and wipe dalvik and cache and reboot then wait up to 15 mins

If that was possible.... Recovery doesn't boot, i can only go into download mode. I can flash a recovery (or rom, bootloader , modem ,everything) without any problem with odin (no errors) but that's it. When trying to boot into recovery it just gets stuck again.

Keep trying to access twrp via key or button combo

Any update on this?

SM-G920F - NanoRom
If got the same Problem is there any Help ????

Maybe you are doing the enter into recovery button press timing wrong, etc. Its easy to mess up. Keep trying to get into recovery or give the phone to someone else to try enter recovery. The phone needs to be off first.
OR if you reboot via volume down and power which is what you have to on s6 since there is no battery to remove, you need to quickly switch t volume up power and home.

Enter in download mode flash TWRP WITH ODIN. THAN REFLASH A STOCK OR CUSTOM ROM.

In other words:reflash TWRP with ODIN. It will reboot straight into TWRP after flashing

When you get to the download mode don't press volume down to enter. Instead press vol up + home + power to enter recovery. This has worked for me so I'm sure it will work in your situation. Good Luck

And when you are doing the button combination to get into recovery, try not releasing any of the buttons until you see TWRP image
