[Q] i have a serious issue. bricked? - T-Mobile LG G2x

i recently flashed the stock rom for my phone, which didn't work too well for some reason. SO i went an flashed domination ics.
through futzing around in terminal emulator, i've removed all apps in data/app, and i can't get into recovery to flash a different rom.
i've used superoneclick and done everything, it flashes a recovery, but after holding the buttons until the lg image turns blue.. it just locks.
the soft button lights eventually fade, and touching it turns them back on, but does nothing otherwise.
is this bricked? if so, can someone tell me how to fix it?

Use nvflash to push stock. Search development section. Alternatively you can use the cleanup batch and then flash a ROM.

i did that, didn't work. I also went and did the "how to unbrick your phone with lg" and now nvflash isn't even seeing the phone.

Do you have the drivers installed?

crisis averted. I managed to get the phone to take a backup of the original software someone uploaded ,the v21y one.
It's now getting a copy of all my backed up apps so the person i'm giving it to can install what they want to play with.
secondary question, though.
Is there a way to get root rights, without flashing a whole rom? I'd rather leave it on the stock rom, and just have root for apps that need it (like titanium backup)

Yes you can root the phone without installing a rooted ROM. Install CWM via NvFlash and then flash the root.zip file. Give me a second and ill find you the link to NvFlash and the root.zip file

Having serious problems installing a ROM

I have a samsung infuse on at&t. I want to install CM7. Here's what has happened so far:
- I copied the modified 3e recovery file into /system/bin
- I flashed CWM and rebooted.
- I got a bricked phone.
- I used GTG's unbricker to unbrick, eventually getting it to work.
- I ended up with a different android installation than I had previously. The market is weird, it's locked so I can't install APKs... I rooted and installed rom manager using adb but rom manager force closes immediately.
All I want to do is just install the CM7. I don't care if I keep my data, I don't care if I can recover to my old rom (that's already out the window.) I just want to get rid of this touchwiz garbage and get gingerbread.

Gtg unbrick again. Follow all instructions in infused. I don't feel like typing them out. Flash infused. Then flash cm7. Thank me. Finally get a different launcher. Launcher pro, go launcher. And others. Look at, what's the best launcher in q&a. Done

i see your having a serious problem posting in the correct section lol
What i did before to get it working is...
Unbrick with gtx unbrick / or unbrick to stock with root+ mod e3 recovery with Odin, phone restart into red recovery, flash cm7, reboot into recovery (it should be blue this time), reflash cm7, then Reboot system.
That works out for me in the past. Good luck and always do a nandroid backup.

I flashed the one you linked with odin, and it booted into a blue recovery. Should it have been red?]
EDIT: and rom manager FCs instantly.
Update: I selected "reinstall packages" and CWM popped up!!! I'm doing a factory reset.
And I tried to install the compiled CM7 rom through rom manager, it booted into CWM and CWM did stuff, and then it rebooted to a samsung logo!
This is so much fun! Any thoughts on what I should try?

Starting my phone after 2 months

2 months back, I upgraded my phone to S3, so I kept my infuse aside. Today morning when I tried to switch on the phone, phone doesnt start.
It was perfectly working before I upgraded my phone.
Is it bricked? I am able to open CWM, I wiped cache, dalvik cache and factory rest through CWM. Is there any other way to get back instead of download mode. my last destination is download mode, go back to stock. but just checking, if there is any other way, before trying it.
TIA

yeah if you had adb access there is a chance you could identify the issue but the idea that you'd be able to correct it is iffy. but if you hadn't already done a reset you could potentially use adb to backup your data and apps before a reflash. anyway I think you will like the selection of jelly bean ROMs. the infuse might not be a galaxy s3 but with cm10 its not so bad.

Well if your phone wasn't rooted or didn't have recovery, how did you try flashing ICS, start over using a back to stock, then follow instructions to a t, on root, recovery, boot loaders, and finally go for a jb ROM there are a few very stable ones available.

After flashing boot loaders, I am trying to root the device using super oneclick, then I am stuck on the screenshot shown in my previous post.
If you have clockwork mod recovery you don't need to root. Find an ICS ROM and flash away. BUT FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OP. Not shouting at you just emphasizing the importance of it.

PLEASE HELP. Phone wont boot into CWM or power on

UPDATE: Phone has been resurrected. Thanks to mainly Pain-N-Panic as well as a few other who helped.
Turned out I just had to flash the stock ROM on my phone about 20 billion times before it finally worked.
BUT now, Anytime I make a call, It makes a loud static clicking sound. Any help?
So I flashed Eaglesblood onto my phone using ROM Manager, which bricked my phone.
I immediately began looking up how to unbrick it.
I found the tutorial by TGA Gunnman to flash CWM and followed it verbatim. > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Successfully installed APX drivers, as well as successfully flashed CWM onto my phone.
At first I was getting bootloader errors, which i discovered by putting the battery in while running the flash worked.
My phone is unresponsive to pressing the power button as well as putting it into CWM recovery mode.
> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
also tried doing that one, and my phone booted up to the LG logo screen, then crashed.
If anyone could please help me.
Well the first thing you did wrong was using Rom Manager to try and flash a ROM. You should be using clockworkmod recovery. Do you have CWM installed on the phone? And when I say installed, did you flash it via NvFlash?
---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------
Also, you have update the drivers once you download them. Turn off your phone, hold the VOLUME DOWN AND VOLUME UP button (without holding the power buttong and then plug in your phone while holding them. Once your computer makes a noise or shows a pop up signaling that it recognizes your device you can let go of the buttons. From there you should see an APX icon with an error exclamation mark. Right click it and select install drivers. Select choose file from my PC. Click on "have disc" and select the APX drivers. Install them. Now you should be able to see the files on your phone. I recommend flashing CWM with NvFlash, follow the directions HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847. Did you make a nandroid backup of your original ROM? If you did, after you flash CWM with NvFlash, boot into recovery by holding down the VOLUME DOWN button and the POWER button. I would do a full wipe then choose backup/restore. Go to the restore folder and restore your original ROM.
To be honest im not sure what you mean exactly. I did download an app called clockword recovery mod, and before i installed Eaglesblood, it said "do you want to save your current ROM" or something like that and i checked it. Update, I installed all the proper drivers to where my computer will detect my phone. When i run the flash recovery program on my computer it runs through several steps then says failed.
Re: Help!! Phone hard bricked and wont boot
Are you using NvFlash? I think the problem is that you used rom manager. The app rom manager is not a proper installation of clock work mod recovery. You have to use NvFlash to properly install cwm

When you hold down the power button and the volume down button while the phone is off, does it boot into cwm? If so, select backup/restore and then choose restore. In that folder, if rom manager backed up your rom you should see a file with a bunch of random numbers.....that's your back up. Select it to restore it. I recommend doing a full wipe before u do that though

This. Make sure your battery is out of your phone when installing drivers. However, if your phone has installed eaglesblood, you may need to install the modified ICS ADB drivers. You should be able to find a download link for the adb drivers in the eaglesblood thread.

Sorry, noob here. What do you mean gb rom and how do i go about putting it on my external sd? my external sd is completely blank no files do i have to make a certain file name or path for it to read it?
Gb means gingerbread. Its the stock format for the g2x's rom. Since you can't boot the phone, download gb rom (weapon 2.3.3 is an example or Hellfire but they also make an ICS so make sure you don't download that one) on your PC and move it to the external SD with while viewing the files on your computer. Then proceed to thread that twitch referred you to and carry out the fix then flash the rom from your external SD with CWM on your phone. Hope it works man
After reading the thread that twitch sent you, that should work. Just make sure to follow the directions closely. Any questions just ask

Actually I soft-bricked my phone yesterday, and since I was brand-new I didn't backup anything. And after a hellish ride unbricking my phone I got it to work, but I went back an update.Before I was at 4.1.2 and it went back to 4.0.4

You never unlocked your bootloader.
Well I'm not entirely sure where you went wrong there, did you Odin back to 4.0.4 or was that just an old backup?
That unauthorized software has been detected happened to me before when I took an ota unknowingly and didn't realize it locked my bootloader.
Going back to 4.0.4 was my fault, when looking for a solution to unbrick my phone I found a webpage that explained how and gave me files to download. And the file for the default rom was 4.0.4. I will try again after unlocking my bootloader again.
What did you use to get back to 4.0.4?
I unlocked my bootloader, went to cwm and tried to install a custom rom and got "E:Error in /sdcard/cm- 11 -20131211 - NIGHTLY -d2vzw.zip. (Status 7) Installation aborted".
Is that what it's showing now?

Yes, at first I forgot to wipe data/cache but even after I did that the same thing still comes up. Halp. Should I use Rom Manager? That's the progrom I used originally when I would get the System Software error, and now I get this error when going into CWM manually.

I'm assuming now that the version I have is outdated and incompatible?
Older recoveries don't work with kit Kat (4.4) roms.
If you are using CWM make sure its 6.0.4.3
Where could I find a newer version? Sorry I'm scrub-cakes.
Can flash it with ROM manager
Download the .IMG from here http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Personally I prefer to use the app called flashify and install recovery image.
Alright thank you all I should be good now, if not then I will post some more.
Lol System User thing again I'm so bad at this.
