I don't think it's hard bricked. Which recovery are you using? Try clean install.

In ur recovery, go in mounts and storage.. in there, format everything except sd card..
then go back to main menu.. then, go to advanced.. in there, wipe dalvik cache..
then flash the rom.. then go to main menu.. select wipe data/factory reset..
then flash gapps.. then again from main menu, select wipe data/factory reset..
and then, reboot phone.. first boot will take time, so be patient..
and VOILA!! ICS on ur phone!!!

U are messed up, start again, go to bootloader, fastboot and flash stock ruu

boot recovery image boot loop

okay 1.2 branch of Gtablet loaded cwm v3028 and cm7.1 Rc no problems also did the partition and permissions. Then I decided to push it and loaded vegan 7.0 over the top of CM7.1 RC. So I went back into cwm and cleared all the flash and loaded the rom.
now im stuck in a loop where it boots and goes directly into the recovery mode. the recovery mode has all the commands. So here are the things I have tried.
1. wipe data/factory reset
2.wipe cache partition
3. I have repartitioned sd card and wipe dalvik cache
So any ideas?
I have searched the forum but didnt find any answer
Thanks
well from my experience, when this happens i have nvflash back to stock.. if you go to install zip from the SDcard and there are no directories it didnt flash properly... NVflash back to stock then flash the rom... that always worked for me...
same
I have the same prob. Any solutions?

[Q] I am Bricked....i think

Ok, So i rooted my T-mobile G2x 2.3.3 and there were difficulties when i flashed the Cyanogen 7mod. The Rom worked but the only default was i didnt get data. Like i couldnt even get Edge. The only way to use internet and stuff was through wifi. SO then i reflashed it thinking it was a bad flash. But when i reflash through rom manager it gives me the option to downoad with google apps. so i clicked that option. It downloaded fine but on the reboot it stayed stuck on the 2nd LG screen. Am i bricked or if anyone can help id appreciate it alot.
U can't do it via rom manager. U have to flash recovery using nv flash, then u can try to flash custom rom. Remeber to wipe data and format system before flashing any rom.
U r not bricked yet
Check here to nv flash the cwm

Did you flash CWM via NV Flash. If not, do that. Then boot into recovery by holding down the power + volume down keys until you get the second boot logo. Then wipe the dalvik cache and the regular cache. That is usually why a phone refuses to boot.
Also, if your phone turns on it is not bricked. Bricked means when you press the power button nothing happens at all. You can be soft-bricked like you are, but it can be easily fixed. Nothing to panic about.
I did all of that im sorry if i gave you info wrong. Like i cant do anything it turns on but goes to the first LG screen then goes to the new LG screen with the blue streaks and it stays there. Then when i try to go into CWR it shows the LG with a blue and black loading bar below then shows as if its loading something then it just goes back to the blue LG screen and im stuck there.

You have stock recovery on the recovery partition, not CWM. You MUST flash CWM onto the physical recovery partition using NVFlash with the One Click flasher. You used Rom Manager and that doesn't install CWM onto the recovery partition. Once you have CWM properly installed you can enter recovery and revive your phone.

@OP, this is is correct. Use tga gunmann's nvflash tool from the development section. The process is super easy. Just make sure to follow his instructions closely. Just fyi, most people get errors during the nvflash process because they don't install the apx drivers appropriately, so take your time and read the instructions carefully.

Start off by wiping cache and then go to Advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If you still can't boot after that then try a full factory reset.
Just remember the first boot after wiping dalvik cache can take several minutes as android rebuilds the dalvik cache. All subsequent reboots will be MUCH faster.

Did you do as phburks said and go into advanced and wipe the Dalvik Cache. Most issues of not booting are related to the Dalvik Cache not being wiped after flashing a new rom. That is essential to getting your phone to boot again. A factory reset DOES NOT clear the Dalvik Cache.

Boot back into cwm, go to Mounts and Storage, format /system and then reflash your rom.

Could be a bad download. I'd try downloading again. Use your computer to download again and save it to your microsd card. Then reinsert the sdcard, boot back into cwm and try again.

The reason I ask is that with cm7 you have to flash 2 separate zip files. First you flash the actual cm7 zip which installs the rom and then you flash the gapps zip which installs the Google apps (market, gmail, etc). Make sure you have both on your sdcard and then flash the rom first and gapps second.

Im glad you brought that up because when i first flashed Cyanogen i did also flash gapps but after i flashed gapps thats when i wouldnt get data. Do you know the reason for this? or was it could have been another bad flash?

Not sure. I'd just play it safe, re-download both, wipe data, and reflash both. Sometimes its hard to determine which step went wrong and its best and quicker to just start with a clean slate and redo everything.
I wont be able to post for a while so good luck.

Desire S stops at Boot Screen

Hey Guys,
i need your help once again.
So my Desire S showed a lot of errors in the last time. E.g. turned off, couldn't connect to mobile internet. So i decided to factory reset. The phone is rooted and s-off.
I booted into the recovery mode and selected
Wipe Cache
Wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
removed the sd Card
and at last
wipe data/factory reset.
After that i reboot and now the phone stops at bootscreen. I can go into the revolution recovery console again. But don't know what do now..
Would be great, if anyone could help me out.

hey. Your post made me smile. since you have done a full wipe, your phone is nearly empty. there is nothing to boot anymore. You need to install a new ROM.
(do I really need to explain how 2 do?)
Always make sure you know what you're doing, you did wipe your phone without knowing the results

LG Optimus G wont flash

Hey Guys,
Tried installing a custom rom on my LG Optimus G but stucked on LG logo on boot after installation. Now I try flashing the original kdz but when I lunch de flahing process from download mode, my phone turns on into recovery mode on its on. Can somebody help me? Is there another tool to flash kdz??
When you tried flashing the custom rom or kdz did you do a factory reset first and wipe everything except internal sd phone or tablet storage first before you flashed the files ? is the kdz a firmware zip folder ?

No, did that but my problem is solved, My problem is solved. I was able to flash using LG Flash Tool 2014.
Which procedure should I follow exactly not to stuck again. If I factory reset the Rom zip will be whiped. My phone takes no external SD.
Check Ur downloaded ROM MCDev again. That its OK and didn't corrupt..
On which Stock firmware u were before installing MCdev? You should be on 30C
Do you have a custom recovery ?
when flashing roms you need to wipe cache, data, and system before you flash recovery. It doesn't delete internal phone storage, files unless you choose to select it. This is how I do it in a custom recovery .twrp works good for the lg g2
The ROM is OK. I'm on 20G

I don't think you need to factory reset again after you flashed the rom if you did the things before it. Clear the cache and dalvik cache before starting up your device.
is data being wiped during factory reset ? You should
Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm
Select wipe cache partition and confirm
Select advanced - wipe dalvik cache and confirm
Select install zip from SD card
Select from internal SD card or wherever you placed it.
Select the ROM file and confirm.
then start the device. If you have the right android version and everything else you can wipe cache and dalvik cache then try Fix Permissions after flashing rom before you try to start up again.
Does the rom need you to be on a different android version or flash a kernel for it ?

But U have to Format Data and System Partition Also before flashing this ROM.
And U aren't on Stock Kitkat. May be that's the reason. Did U select ur baseband F180K during installation? And did u installed Custom Loki CWM recovery as mentioned in thread?
Everything is alright now. The phone doesnnt stuck on LG logo nomore. The problem was I was not on stock KitKat. I had to upgradde to stock 4.4.2 (30C) before flashing. Thanks to y'all

Is the ROM you are flashing made for your specific model number? Are you using the newest version of TWRP that you can find? Are you factory resetting, wiping cache and dalvik when you flash? Have you tried doing an advanced wipe in TWRP to wipe system partition and data partition and then flashing your ROM then wiping cache and dalvik after you flash?

To be thorough and make sure you miss nothing, I suggest these steps:
1)in TWRP, tap the Wipe button, then it should say at the top of the screen: "factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik". Swipe the slider to do the wipe.
2)after wiping, tap the home button in TWRP, on TWRP home screen, tap the Wipe button again, then tap the advanced wipe option, wipe system and data.
3)tap home button, on home screen, tap install then flash your ROM and Gapps.
4)after flashing ROM and Gapps, wipe cache and dalvik(do not factory reset).
5)reboot.
