First of all I'm new to this forum.I've not find any specific ans to my issue so I'm creating this thread.I've installed custom ROM Oxygen,Franco Kernel to my LGp500 through clockwork MOD recovery.It was working perfectly.
Now the prob is that with my over enthusiasm of flashing and testing new things.I've flashed the same ROM thrice and kernel twice(such an idiot I'm).Now My Phone has become unresponsive or bricked(in tech jargon).When I switch on the phone Its showing LG logo but after that it freezes out there,No key is working,nothing is booting,I've tried several time but it ends up same thing.So to end up the process I was removing battery everytime. Though with power+home+vol(-) clockworkmod working fine.
PLz plz help..I've no other phone to use..
Clear your cache, davlik (in advanced) and then try again.

Do you have a nandroid to restore from? If you don't, try wiping everything (data, cache, and dalvik) and just flash the ROM, and reboot.
It sounds like you've soft bricked your phone and i've done it many times myself. Simple fix, just clear all cache, format everything and do a fresh flash of rom.
I don't see that you have answered yet. Did you get it to boot after clearing data as well?

hi all,
Ok, I'm new to this stuff.
1. used the simple root and it worked great.
2. I then flashed CM7 and it worked great except market was not on it.
3. I downloaded and flashed gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip by mistake, not realizing I had to use another gapps.
4. After I flashed it, the cm7 and android setup screens kept cycling between each other.
5. I restored to clockworkmod (sp) and then deleted the gapps and tried to then flash cm7. It didn't cycle between cm7 and android setup, but the cm7 screens kept cycling and never got past that.
6. I thought perhaps it was just cm7 now, so I tried miui and it's doing the same thing. It's cycling between the gingerbread man and MIUI with the status bar and won't do anything else.
Very frustrated. what have I done and how do I fix it?
Thanks folks,
Brett
I believe that those ROMs both require ENG S-OFF. Open simple root on your computer, click Fixes, then apply the fix there. Also, did you make sure you cleared your Dalvik cache before flashing? Always do a factory reset AND clear dalvik cache when changing ROMs.
make sure you have wifi off in your first boot

to clarify what is your exact process for flashing the rom?

Hi. Thanks.
I use rom manager to boot to recovery. Then I install zip from sd card. I go through the process until it says reboot. It's when I reboot that I get stuck in the bootloop. It just cycles from the CM7 circular arrow to blank and then to the arrow thing again. MIUI does the same between the gingerbread guy and the status bar and back.
I then take the battery out, take out the sdcard, down volume & power, reinsert sdcard and do a restore so I can use my phone again in clockworkmod 3.0.0.6.
thanks,
brett

actually, I did that.
it's weird. I restored a few times, did the above you suggested, and still in a loop. The first time I installed CM7 it was great, then the gapps thing seems to have screwed it up.

Probably a silly question but you're doing full reinstalls, right? Not using a nandroid backup? I can't think of any reason that you should be boot looping permanently from flashing the gapps if you're going into clockwork, doing a factory reset, wiping the cache, then wiping the Dalvik cache, then flashing the ROM.

hmm. I'm a little new to this, but I'm using the backup/restore option in recovery mode and am then flashing one of the backups. Could that be the problem?
If it is, how do I do a full reinstall?

Without a full wipe I thought it would just bootloop?

That's your problem right there. If you make a backup of a busted ROM, its still going to be busted when you restore it.
Do the factory reset, then clear the cache again just to make sure, go to advanced and clear Dalvik, then go to the main menu and use the choose install zip from sdcard option, then choose "choose zip from sdcard", find the ROM zip file and select it, then say yes to the flash and reboot when its done. If you are flashing CM7, make sure that you flash the correct gapps package after you flash the ROM or the ROM won't be very useful.

I'll give it a shot and then get back to you.
I do believe, however, that the restore I'm doing is the backup I did right before I did the original cm7 flash. I'll try.
thanks!
If you toggle wifi on after the first boot it goes into a bootloop. This is a know bug not a hunch.

This is a flashable zip that simply returns your kernel and wireless.ko to stock GB 2.3.3 as delivered by LG in the update. This is for people who have played around with custom kernels and wish to go back to stock for whatever reason. Caveat: I have not tried the zip myself but one user has reported he has used it with success. This is a simple flash that simply replaces the boot.img and wireless.ko with the files from stock, so you should have no problems with it.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you brick your phone, void your warranty, or any other pain or suffering you may experience as the result of flashing this kernel.
Note: Always wipe the Dalvik Cache when flashing a new kernel. If you don't unintended consequences (i.e., boot stuck on LG logo or boot loop) may result. The first boot after flashing will take around five minutes or so. Please be patient and don't report your phone is bricked while it is still booting and rebuilding the Dalvik Cache, which takes several minutes depending on how many apps are installed.
Please report back any success or failures here.
Enjoy!

I was wondering if there was away to revert back. Thanks alot. Hey i got a question I am still a noob and I just stsarted changing kernels but Have been flashing for a while. I asked whast needs to be done before I flash and was told to wipe cache but nothing else is needed. I am haveing a problem with the new EB 2.1 and trinity kernels. When I do a hard boot to fix data it reboots twice the second one being a normal boot so I still dont have data. Should I try to wipoe dalvik and cache would that fix it if no do you have any suggestions?

Yes. The Dalvik Cache is the crucial thing you need to clear when you flash any system file, kernel, etc. If you don't a bootloop or stuck boot is a likely result. If you flash a different rom then you should wipe the system also to be safe.
reason is because I've been clearing the Cache partition as well, I'm not sure if I was suppose to do that, lol.

No reason to clear normal cache. In fact, if you use Rom Manager, that will delete the recovery it flashed as that is where it keeps it.
Hello everyone. My EVO lets me download ROMs but when I flash them on my phone it keeps re-doing the loading screen. I've used cyanogen mods 7.2,7.1,and 7.0 (all stable releases),Savaged- Zen, Fresh, OMJ, Myn, Salvage-Mod. I am using SOS(Swagged Out Stock) and I can't download any new ROMs I've restored my phone and it still wouldn't let me. Sometimes I can't even download any applications from the Market and some that I can they don't work. I just wanted to download Cyanogen Mod 7.2. Can someone please help?
Have you tried doing clean installs (format all partitions and factory reset before flashing a new rom)? You could also wipe the dalvik cache after flashing.
Yeah I have whipped dalvik cache and factory reset it and it doesn't work

Hello Pros! First post, semi-noob here.
I tried flashing the newest [JB][CM10Based]Unoffical MIUI 2.9.14 Skyrocket 9/14/12[PORT] today. I followed all instructions; I wiped wiped wiped, factory and Dalvik, and flashed the kernel.
But I am always stuck on the MIUI bootscreen, and can never fully load up the ROM. I've tried wiping and re-flashing several times, to no avail. I have not had any problems flashing roms before this. Any help or ideas of what causes this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Try reflashing. But when u get into recovery go to extras/darkside tool. And click on the super wipe(idr what's its called but there's only two options.) When that's done factory reset format data/system 3x if u want.( Couldn't hurt) then flash ROM! All should be good... if not keep this thread open. Lol and well try something else. But hopefully that works. Good luck!

Really? Damn. Are u on the latest recovery? If not try flashing the newest. Then do the steps again in my last post. Can't believe your having all these troubles!
Oh also u could try fixing permissions. After doing all the wipes and after flashing. Go to dark side tools again and do the cashe wipe! Then go back to advanced and fix permissions again.
Can you boot into recovery or not? If you can, just flash the rom. If you can't, yank the battery, replace it. Then, hold down both volume buttons, the press the power button, release all the buttons, you should be able to get into recovery.

Wow, still stuck on the boot screen even after the darkside cache wipe. I flashed CWMR Touch v6.0.1.3 by sk8erwitskil which is the newest CWM recovery as far as I believe, and the recommended recovery for this ROM. I EVEN flashed TWRP 2.2 just for the heck of it and flashed MIUI with that and still the same result; stuck on bootscreen. So I'm pretty sure it's not the recovery.
I did a darkside superwipe, and a darkside cache wipe, along with factory reset & format data/system 3x. The rom installs in recovery just fine. It's just once i reboot, i get the MIUI splash loading screen indefinitely. I'm not sure what could be causing this since I do all the important wipes (plus the darkside wipes now) each time. I think I have BAD LUCK!
You'll have to use odin, and reroot your phone.
Have you checked the MD5 of the ROM? If it's a bad DL it could flash just enough of it to loop you.

I had the same problem, but while my phone was stuck on the MIUI boot screen i pulled the batter, got into recovery again and simply did a factory data reset just once and then it booted up, but my issue is that i get no data at all no mater what version of MIUI I try to flash.

Ya I agree try downloading it again. Check the md5 and flash that ROM again. If it doesn't work your gonna have to Odin!
There were a lot of complaints of boot loops when flashing, so I pulled the DL link. I actually stopped using miui and moved back to CM or AOKP, depending on which one is most stable at the moment. Every once in a while I give miui a try, but I never stick with it. If you want miui, I suggest you follow Lithium's thread. His version is the officially supported miui rom.
I can confirm heres what i did to fix i had the boot loop.. all i did was run DARKSIDE Superwipe x2 Times. Then i installed MIUI Rom. Then i Factory Reset. Try booting wait a little bit. If still not going threw remove battery and boot to recovery and factory reset one more time then reboot. So once again.
1. DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE x2++ 2. Install MIUI Rom. 3. Factory Reset. 4. Boot. 5. (If still looping) Remove battery Then recovery. and Factory Reset and boot again. Your welcome
Can we move this to q and a?

Hey everyone. I have a rooted HTC One S. I downloader ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. i installed it, but on startup, the CM10 boot animation just keeps going and going. the longest i let it go was close to 20 mins. I'm pretty sure tht this shouldn't be happening, any thoughts or suggestions would be nice.
have you followed all those steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889339&highlight=cyanogenmod

most important thing is to wipe your system partition / dalvik cache.
if coming from another rom (stock or whatsoever) you need to do a factory reset too.
back up your data before, cause it will be gone then.
