Possible Bricked G2x No NV Flash Back Up

I was flashing CM 7 nightly 49 and now my phone is stuck on the LG logo, how do I fix?

After reading all the steps req'd to "Flash a Rom" and "recovery" process, what part isn't working?

After going through the NV flash process and getting to the last step that says
Keep holding them, as soon as you see "ANDROID" in Green with the new boot logo let go of the buttons.
From there it goes into boot recovery. I then choose from one of the roms I have on my SD card, it loads okay but then when I try to reboot it hangs up on the LG logo again
What am I doing wrong

we def need more info then that like what recovery how did u install the rom did u wipe data then cache then dalvik? then install rom and gapps? did u install any kernels previously? and this is probably going to get moved it should be in general

ok when u go into recovery do u wipe data factory reset, then cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik then install rom and gapps and it should boot up fine, did u make a backup of ur stock rom first?

Damn. for one month on XDA you sure do have a lot of posts
On topic: I'm assuming you forgot to fully wipe before flashing the new rom.

If you can get into recovery, it's not bricked.
Read the install directions, you missed a step or got a bad download.. Or a bad build, as they are nightlys...
In recovery, do factory reset, then mounts and storage, select format system. Then install the rom.
Also, get the stock nandroid and put it on your card so you can drop to a known good setup.

I had back it up using rom manager but its on another computer. I took had gotten a SD card with more storage and never transferred it.

You could copy the backup from your computer and make a folder called clockworkmod/backup/ on your new SD and put the backup file in that folder. When you go into recovery, backup and restore. restore - it should be visible. Select it and you should be OK - IF your backup is good.
If not, download a ROM and Gapps with your computer and put them in the root of your SD. Then after a full wipe, flash them.
If you have the latest Recovery, you can mount storage and then cut and past to your device while connected. If not, or if you have any problems moving them, just take it out and do it while it is plugged in your computer.
You have several options - so one of them will work.

Want to thank all you guys. I got it working again.

Moved to proper forum.

Just rooted my phone

Do I have to factory reset in recovery and does factory reset result in Bootloop,
Do I have to Superwipe.
Or do this individually:
Format/wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache in advance(menu)
Format SD ext, system, boot, in mounts and storage.

What do you wan't to do with the phone, factory reset from menu will get you to bootloop for sure, doing it from recovery...... it's 50/50. But why do you want to do this?
If you want to change the rom, then just follow the instructions for it, so please do tell, what is your goal.

I just rooted my phone today this is first time I'm installing a Custom Rom.
There is an Instruction in the Rom I want to install. Do factory reset (While in Recovery I think.)

Just flash superwipe first, after that, the rom and something else if needed, if you are going for sense4, manually wipe everything from recovery, except the sd.
And that's it,......... uuu one more thing, backup your messages with some app, if you have important ones.

Thanks for the info!
Yeah I'm going with sense4.
Last question what is the minimum memory card size in doing the partition, I have a 4GB Micro SD is that enough?

Personally I haven't tried sense 4 (neither of them), but from what I read, you need at least 1GB ext3 or ext4(if I'm wrong somebody to correct me). And that's it. If you don't know how to make a partition check out my signature, there should be tutorial about that.

So what is the Custom Rom your using maybe I'll use that.

I'm on aokp (by legen_dary), but that's irrelevant, if you like sense, give it a try, sense roms are cool, they are just not my cup of beer. And whatever you choose to install, should be something that you like, anyway installation process for 95% of roms(sense or no sense) is pretty much the same, so if sense got your atention, go for it!

Ok thanks man you really made my day!

+1 to whatever shortyoko said upto now.. And one more point to be added iz that use yannou's recovery ( r recovery in jaggy jaggs tutorial) for flashing sense roms as they mount sd ext while flashing properly.. Other recoveries have some issues.. Though I tried with twrp to flash build 6.. And it worked..
I'm on my tab

Thank you for that Red Devil!

Stuck in a bootloop
I searched a lot on the forum tried going back to the stock ROM, but still stuck in bootloop need help

Details buddy, details. Also in my signature are two versions of stock rom, check them out

Kernel Panic

hye everyone. i'm having an issue with the Gtab plus. its actually weird issue. it seems like i can't wipe data/ factory reset. or even flash a rom every time i try to do the above methods it success until i reboot my device everything come back. if i flashed a stock rom to the gtab plus it will be successful and when the device starts its like i didn't flash anything. i'v tried wipe data / caches from Touch CWM since its the only CWM that doesn't require reboot after flashing it using "update from sdcard from the stock recovery mode" and no success when the device restart everything back. i even formatted the Sdcard from the PC but yet if i reboot the device everything will be restored i'm like "OMFG" what is going on with this device. and most of the time its on Kernel PANIC stats. any help/advice ? what i should do ? because i have tried almost everything. and btw its still on stock 3.2

Did you buy this tablet new with 3.2 on it? It's possible you have EMMC memory failed which is a hardware fail that occurs when wiping memory on ICS.

[Q] Soft brick help!

Hey, I use a GT-n8010 tablet, and I wanted to flash the HyperDrive ROM. So I went ahead, and did all the necessary things only to find that AROMA installer froze every single time, trust me when I say I tried over 10 times. So then I tried to mount my internal SD to try out another ROM, only to find that CWM doesn't mount my internal SD to my PC. Then, I tried copying it over to an external SD and then chucking it into my tablet, but CWM is not able to read my external SD card. I had wiped all my data and cache and dalvik cache. But then accidentally, I formatted my internal SD as well, so I don't have the ROM file on it.
Now, I tried to flash TWRP using download mode, but then it says USB debugging has not been enabled. I'm not able to go back to my stock ROM since I wiped all my data, I'm not able to flash back my nandroid since it's in my computer and I can't transfer it over to my tablet. I can't flash a new ROM since none of the SD cards are mountable.
Some help would greatly be appreciated! Please help out a noob here, I don't have any idea as to what I should do next.
Thank you so much

No one? Someone please help me out! I'm completely lost!

I did do that, but for some reason, it's stuck in the Samsung logo. And I tried resetting from stock recovery, but still got the same result.

I think you should flash stock with odin or flash a different recovery. I think it is called high on android.

Rare problem, expert solution needed

Don't ask me how, I installed wrong Rom on my edge 7, as result, no USB connection.
So can't use Oddin to replace ROM and of course can't root.
Also, all rooting app fails, I guess because they recognize it as a different device.
A part of that the device works great, but I can't do any updates and I have a challenge...
Any ideas?

Without a usb connection you're very limited. Have you tried booting to recovery and factory resetting it?

Nor from bootloader

A factory reset will not help. You need to download the correct rom and flash with twrp. A factory reset only clears data and cache, you need to delete system by installing the correct rom.
If you want to be safe, (make sure the rom you download is on external sd card if you have one) before flashing the rom, go to the wipe section and choose advanced wipe... Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and internal storage (Only do internal storage if you put the rom on external sd... DO NOT wipe external, or internal if the rom is in internal)

Don't ask how?! How the heck can you flash a different rom unsoported device is like I flash s8 rom on my S7, that's no make sense,
What variant you have? We don't have Cristal balls to find out, did it get into download mode?
If so, install a rom downloaded from sammobile for your phone variant

D. I can put it in download mode, but it's not being recognized on PC, so can't use ODIN

Man in happened to me twice (note 4 and s7 edge) and i was going mad! The problem is just, unfortunately, that your usb port or controller is broken and you need to replace it. I used my note 4 for months, updating via recovery, not being able to connect to any usb source. If you try, USB OTG won't work too because basically the port is not able to carry any data, just charging or fast charging
