HI Guys,
I've seen similar threads, so I'm sorry if I'm adding clutter, but I can't find anything that works yet.
Stats:
LG Phoenix P505
Android 2.0.3
Windows 7
I tried to do an upgrade to CM10 a while back, and I almost bricked it. I found this thread and tried it several times. Not sure if it worked or the phone corrected itself, but it was communicating with my PC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046
Now all I wanted was to do a ROM backup with ROM Manager. That's it. Just thought it would be a good idea to back up the system. I select the operation and the phone reboots (expected). First I get the LG screen (normal), it skips the LG animation screen and goes to the Service providers animation screen, and gets stuck in a loop. I let it go for almost an hour in case it was actually doing the backup, but figured it should have been done by that time.
I reboot several time and ended up at the same place. I then tried to do the above thread again, but at the command prompt it kept saying, "waiting for device". I uninstalled the LG drivers and re-installed with the same results.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

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

I keep getting a message on the LG startup screen, that says,
"secure booting error
cause: boot certification verify"
My phone was rooted using king root almost 6 months ago, and I had no problems with it. Until around a month ago, it started getting real slow and apps would randomly stop. So I decided to format the phone. There weren't many problems after that. but after a while it started getting slow again, but slower than the first time. One day almost every app closed and "LG Home" would close, it would give me some kind of error. I turned it off and tried turning it back on, but that's when I got that error. At first i thought my phone was bricked, i still sort of do, so I tried several methods. I can only turn the phone on in download mode, and my computer recognizes it as an android device
At first I had some problems because i couldn't find my right .KDZ file, I used KDZ Update and I tried using LGFlash tool, but i can't find any of the files (.bin . dll) I need. I've also tried using the 2014 version of the LGFlash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190&highlight=100 Also used the LG Mobile Support tool, and nothing! They all take around 4 to 5 hours to finish!!! It never says there's an error or anything, none of them do! They always finish successfully, but the same thing keeps happening. Every time the phone reboots, it gets stuck on the LG logo and i get the "secure booting Error"!! What else can i try? Any suggestions? Am i missing something? All drivers are installed correctly and I've tried on windows 7, 8 and 10! Is there anybody who can help me? What do you think the problem could be? What causes the "secure booting Error!"??
Hi there,
I've got quite a peculiar problem with my Nexus 5.
Last night, I left my phone on charge. It was working normally and the software was functional etc. However, once I woke up, the phone was constantly restarting itself, and wouldn't load past the boot animation. I tried to load up fastboot to enter the TWRP recovery, however, the phone froze on the load screen. I should also add that my custom boot animation was replaced by the CyanogenMod mascot.
This problem has never occurred before, and I really haven't got a clue how to fix it. I tried to use WugFresh's NRT to flash a factory image of Android 6, however, the command terminal indicated that each process had failed. This did not restore the phone to its original condition.
I should also point out that I have been running a CM 12.1 nightly, which has been very stable and I have been using this nightly, without major problems (bar the infrequent system UI crashes) for a couple of months. It is obviously rooted and I have a Nandroid backup, which I can't access for aforementioned reasons.
Please help me to bring back my phone! This is literally driving me nuts, and I haven't so far found a solution that works! I would be happy to clarify and elaborate upon any point of information.
Thanks,
Sami

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Looks like you made your way to the right spot. Cool!
Hope it helps.
Hello
I am new to working on these phones so I apologize in advance if I don't properly state any processes or terms correctly.
I have a stock non modded Verizon LGG3 VS985 that experienced problems with WiFi and Bluetooth not working and significant battery drain. This happened right after a recent update to marshmallow. I tried cache clearing, safe mode, hard reset and nothing solved the problem. I decided I wanted to take the phone back to factory condition. I started with the LG flash tool that uses the .tot and a .dll. I ran the flash and when the program got to approx. 80%(at checking mini os phase of the flash) the phone began to reboot and only got as far as the LG logo and after about 2 min of the phone trying to reboot the flash program said fail, usb connect or something like that. At this point the phone will only start and go into a loop that includes the vibrate and the LG logo. and that will cycle until I believe the battery would die if allowed. I then found a link here at XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140) that uses the KDZ method, was well written and easy to follow. I ran it on the phone and it was going great. The flash program got to 88% and the phone went into the boot loop with the vib and LG logo . The flash program continued to run until it was complete while the phone was in the boot loop and it got to 100% and said that the software installed. I powered down the phone via battery removal and now when it tries to boot it vibes, shows the lg log and then the green android symbol shows for about 2 seconds and then it does it all over again. I have tried a hard reset and nothing changes. I appreciate any ideas any of you may have on what I can try to get this resolved. Thank you.

Hello.
First of all, i'm sorry if this question have been asked before. Believe me, i've tried searching even through Google's 2nd page but still no luck in finding answer.
I had a OPO 64GB version. It was working fine until i decided to do ROM update. My previous working ROM is "CM13-20160812-somethingsomething-SNAPSHOT.zip". It is rooted with Xposed installed
I tried to update it using TWRP. the update is "CM13-20161216-somethingsomething-SNAPSHOT.zip". It got stuck at "Patching system image unconditianally"(probably wrong spelling there) for more than one hour. So, i decided to force reboot it and it is now stuck at boot logo(not bootanimation)
Thing is, i cant get it into fastboot, nor recovery. it just stuck there and i've tried to Power Cycle but still no result. I tried to plug it into my computer and it does detect it in "Device Manager" under "Portable Devices" with name "A0001".
I wonder if it soft brick or hard brick. I'm asking brilliant mind in here, if there's a way to restore it. I just revived it from broken screen since 2016(talk about bad luck) and i don't want to completely replace as the device is still in good condition.
Also, if there's no other choice then i had no other way than to follow this guide here, which completely unbrick my phone(also losing me 30+ apps)
http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick-oneplus-one-two-3-3t-qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008/
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
Nevermind. i got it to work by installing QPST driver. for some reason it enable adb at boot logo(yes at boot logo). got into recovery and recover my system partition(which is broken).
I ask the mod to delete this thread. Thank you
