[q] Kernel problems?

So I rooted my Tmobile g2x everything was going great until I tried using the Trinity Kernel. Now it won't recognize any Network service so I can't redownload ROM Manager to restore it to my previous ROM. My computer can't find my phone either (I installed my USB Drivers already) What should I do?
HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! PLEASE!

First goto settings> wireless> mobile network> and make sure your apn is correct. Then try reflashing trinity but make sure to wipe cache and dalvik first

Yeah, my apn is correct. How do I reflash it? I have no access to any type of network so I can't download ROM Manager to flash it, it won't read my sd card or my sim card. And my computer won't recognize my phone apparently... I'm soo ****eeedd.... I just got this phone today too.

You are not fudged for good. If you have no absolute access and your computer won't recognized the phone when plugged in, then install the drivers. Fisrt and foremost go to dev thread and root your phone properly through nvflash. Lastly try rebooting the phone holding down the power+vol up until the second LG logo pops up, this has been said and reported to fix weird data issues.

When you ask me to install the drivers. You're talking about the original USB drivers for the phone right? I've already had them installed previously. The phone was recognized before I booted it to the Trinity Kernel. So which drivers should I get?

Try booting in CWM by holding down volume + power til you see the blue lg then let grand from there perform a factory data reset and then try flashing trinity again or a rom with or without trinity

I get to the CWM but I can't select anything. All I could do is move the the highlighter up or down but I can't select?

The magnifying glass search button or the power button can be used for select. You may have also disabled the ability to select which it will tell you near the bottom of the screen. Press both volume buttons a few times to fix that.

You realize that you don't have to use rom manager to install a rom right? And your saying the you can't connection to wifi? Or data? And with the apns mine used to be a correct but I still couldn't connect to data just hit menu and hit reset apn it should work. With nvidia tegra on board its really hard to brick ur phone.. If you really run into and problems let me know and I'll hook you up to a thread for apx drivers iv been there done that

I've finally solved my issue thanks to TGA_Gunnman. Appreciated the help everyone!
Close thread please.

All I did was pull battery out, restarted to stock recovery, wiped data./ factory reset and, rebooted into rom, wiped sd and internal sd.
Now I'm off to flash a new rom, thanks!

I had the same problem. I took the same steps you did and recovered mine.

My phone wont even connect to Keis Air, i tried connecting my phone while its in download mode and when its stuck in the rethink possible screen. Still wont connect to Keis Air.

They way I was able to fix mine was to first open Kies then select initialize firmware and connect phone to USB port in back of PC. Follow the prompts they will ask for model number and serial number it is located under battery. Select OK. Once firmware is finished Downloading it will prompt you to accept, disconnect phone from PC and then place phone in DL mode by removing battery reinsert battery press volume +- and then volume + to continue once you do that then connect phone to PC via USB and follow screen prompt on PC. It took me about one hour for mine to finally return to stock. I'm going from memory because I'm not sitting in front of computer at this time. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can help. Good luck.

Help! Any Suggestions would do. :(

Can someone help me. My phone is on Valhalla final, one morning when it got battery empty and i was supposed to charge it, it just got stuck on the boot screen and wont progress anymore. can i install this rom to my phone? BTW i have a USB jig, i think thats the only way i could restore my phone through odin or heimdall. Thanks in advance!

I am not sure what you are asking since you are aware of Odin and Heimdall. Are you asking if you can still reinstall the Valhalla rom back?
You don't need the USB jig. You can access Odin or Heimdall by putting the phone in download mode. Follow the instructions in the guide.

Reboot recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik. Fix permissions. Reboot. If that doesn't do it you'll have to factory reset.

If all else fails and you want to try one last thing before restoring your phone and losing your data then flash a stock kernel like antonx stock with a twist it should boot your phone back up

thats also my another problem, i cannot access recovery mode neither.

Pull battery with USB unplugged so phone turns off completely. Hold down both volume buttons. Put battery back in. Press the power button for a second. Let go of the power button, but keep holding the volume buttons. You should now be in recovery mode.

HELP! Did I brick my device?

So, I was attempting to flash Omega ROM, but the wifi wasn't working. Long story short I ended up in the wrong thread and the suggestion was to factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache/fix permissions, then format everything but the external SD card. Now all I get is the Galaxy Note 10.1 intro screen, and the "Download" mode when pressing the power and volume down key, which just keeps saying "Downloading, do not turn off target" (Advice I'm guessing I should've paid attention to) Please help me out guys! I really hope I didn't just make a $340 paper-weight :crying::crying::crying:
Update: Was able to get into recovery, should be fine, thanks guys!

You are fine... Just locate the back to stock Odin files... That should fix you up...

Also the device isn't recognized by my computer, and I can't get back into recovery mode. Really freaking out here!

Thought you said you could get into recovery?
Your computer shouldnt "detect" when its plugged in AND in download mode,
Odin SHOULD though - should say "COM 1" or something to that effect

Flash a stock rom on it through ODIN, you formatted everything and have no rom...
ODIN should be able to detect when in download mode, if not then re-install the samsung device drivers.... Don't leave it turned on too long or you won't have sufficient juice in your battery to flash.... I would suggest holding down power button for 10 seconds and shutting off completely, plugging in and waiting til you are certain you have more than 50% power...

[Q] Imp:Phone wont start up.PLS HELP

Hi,
So i decided to install NOVA launcher and kept it as default launcher.
No when i wanted to go back to google launcher the system was getting crashed and some error like : "systemui" is not working was poping up.
Meanwhile i was getting notifications of whatsapp messenger and i could use it but when i was trying to exit the app , again the problem occured.
Thats when i decided to reboot the phone to my bad luck it is not going further after "FOUR CIRCLES(red,green,yellow and blue) which comes after google logo.
I had previously owned S2 and when i used nova launcher and tried to switch back ( aftr uninstalling nova) it automatically use to use google launcher.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
V

I need you to answer a few questions before anyone can help...
Do you have a custom recovery installed? (Eg. TWRP or CM?)
- If not, are you rooted?
- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery?
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty?
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone.
Basically, if you have a custom recovery installed or are not rooted with warranty, don't panic.
In not an advanced user but I know done stuff... And there's always a way!

Gave good 10 + mins
Will try it one more time.I guess it should hardly take about 30 secs or so.

Oh, and also, see if you can fastboot by pressing the power button and volume down whilst booting up. If you can't, then try pressing power button + volume up + volume down whilst booting up.

- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery? NO,I dont mind if my data is lost
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty? YES,but now i stay in different country.so count it as NO
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone. have been using since 2 months

I can do that , it is showing me options over there like recovery,poweroff,bootloader recovery,etc.

If factory reset doesn't work then you option is to flash the factory image. Have you unlocked the bootloader?

This is probably why it crashed. Your phone doesn't have a launcher to boot into. That's the reason it is boot looping. As mentioned earlier, you'll have to flash the factory image.

Yea, i feel the same. I forgot it was google launcher and its a nexus phone.
If it would have been some other trebuche launcher(like in samsung) , this problem would'nt have persisted.

That is the stock recovery. You can press both volume buttons at the same time, to show the recovery options.
Flashing the factory image is very easy. You put your phone in fastboot mode, plug it into your computer, and simple run the Flashall.bat (or .sh depending on your OS.)
Touchwiz Home in Samsung devices does not rely on google search. Our Nexus has a launcher that requires google search to run. Otherwise you can install AOSP launcher.

@vzuwOw if you run into this problem again just fastboot flash the system.img, not the flash-all.bat. it would have kept the rest of your settings and you wouldn't have to redo your while phone.
