Im using the Pvlad 2.1 Rom and it works well. I do have an issue booting to recovery TWRP I tried using the app that came in the rom Quick Boot but when I touch Recovery it starts to reboot but goes to a picture of a android laying down with his cover in the front opened LMAo .
a battery pull is the only way to get phone going again. I also tried the 4 button procedure volumes+ -, power,3D but it just boots normal. please advise as how I should procede? Its a shame I could not ask this in the referenced Roms thread
Nice
Forced to pst here and nobody shows up
Flash wparks bootloader again and twrp and it should work.

So i installed latest cm7 nightly 55 and it started normally waited about a minute on the cyanogen mod bootscreen then started looping. any ideas?? i have cwm recovery installed (non nvflash version) if i hold down vol up it goes into a S/W upgrade screen then goes black. holding Vol Up and Down doesn't do anything on a virtual windows 7 pc.
Couple of questions: Which rom were you using before you flashed the nightly? Are you sure it was looping? Sometimes the initial boot after a flash takes a minute or 2.
Needless to say you need to NVflash recovery. Do that for sure whether you're looping or not.

Ditto on the above - plus what did you wipe before you flashed? Alos, you might try pulling the battery and starting up again.
You amy not be able to do anything if that does not work until you flash a real recovery. Follow the one-click method on the dev thread - NVflash and recovery all in one package.
Thanks for the input guys, I tried using nvflash but it doesn't pick up the device when I try to install the apex drivers. I am using a virtual machine so I'll try on a regular one.

You needed to clear the cache and then reinstall the rom. That was my problem.

Hi,
I rooted my phone today and everything worked fine, I then went to CWrecovery to flash the liquidsmooth rom I downloaded. I selected to reboot device after a successful install but now it won't turn on, no screen, led, etc. if I plug into computer I get a contection noise from my computer but thats it. Can't boot into download mode or recovery... What can I do to fix?
thanks
Did you unlock and flash a custom bootloader?
I think so. I rooted/unlocked bootloader.
Did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439&nocache=1
For Both Root and Unlocked Bootloader ***RECOMMENDED*** - Download SuperSU + Unlocked Bootloader to your SD Card
Then tried to flash LiquidSmooth from forum.

Did you wipe data factory reset prior to flashing the rom?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
no i didn't
If you forgot to wipe the phone would still attempt to boot. It just might send you into a bootloop
Anthrax unreleased towchwiz
Yeah except I can't get it to boot at all. No response to turning on, pulled battery, waited 30 minutes, then tried to boot again. nothing. not even the LED. now if I leave the battery out and plug the phone in to the computer the LED turns on but that's it. At the computer end I get the sound for plugging in a USB device, however it doesn't do anything else and there were no drivers for the device: QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Is it hard bricked?
Try getting into recovery by holding volume up+home button +power button at the same time. Hold it for a few seconds and it should vibrate and one the Samsung logo comes on you could let go. At this point I would either try re flashing or restore your most recent backup download another rom and try again.

Tried that, as well at the Vol Down+ home+ power. Neither worked, no vibrate or screen boot.
Take your battery out for at least 5 minutes than put on the charger for awhile (couple hours) than try again. If none of this works hero had a wire up on how to fix your soft brick phone that might help. If your bootloader wasn't unlocked I'm not sure what to do to fix that. I hope you get it going. I'll post that link if I find it.

My friend had this happen (not rooted), she took it in to Verizon and they got it going by holding VOL UP and DOWN, and then POWER.
I'd never heard of this technique, but it worked for her.

Ok guys i have flashed near every rom this phone has ever had and never ran into a bootloop problem. So i had CH 10.2 on my phone for 2 days with no hiccups. Then today after letting my phone die completely "battery death" i pluged it in and now it keeps bootlooping and i cant get it into recovery if i hold down volume down + power it loops at the galaxy s 4g starting screen. If i let it go of the power button at the correct time it just bootloops. anyone have any ideas?

Battery Pull. Hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Power. Whenever The Samsung Galaxy S 4G Splash Screen Comes On, Let Go Of The Power Button And Keep The Volume Buttons Held Down. Should Take You To Recovery

OMG YES!!! I have no idea what i did but i pressed the combo when i plugged it into my computer and it looped the battery screen twice then went straight into CWM recovery did not go through the splash screen like a normal CWM recovery start but whatever i got to remove the rom and flash the new Slim Rom . Anyone have any idea what could have caused this just so i know what to or what not to do in the future ?

To get to CWM recovery on this ROM, simply download 'Quick Boot' application and use it to get to recovery. It works.
Apex launcher crashes as well. I think issue is ROM related. Also, ROM is very heavy, I couldn't find why.
Edit: ROM is snappier after using CM performance features and letting cache do its work.

I got through the splash screen on 1st try.
You should check if you worked according to ROM instructions.
I usually always format system as well as wipe everything twice before flashing any new ROM.
I was referring to :
1. the lack of recovery button on power menu.
2. The inability to use hardware keys to get to recovery after flashing this ROM.
Heimdall One-click (in download mode) and try again.
You're right - I missed that option in developer features - it's called 'advanced reboot options'.
I'd suggest you get to download mode - one click heimdall and reflash this ROM after dowble wiping dalvik, cache, and format system.
I've flashed numerous ROMS to my phone before but have never ran into a problem like this.
-I went back to stock
-flashed CM7, as recommended from the OP
-downloaded and flashed CM10.2 but it gets stuck around 75%
I've been on this thread, and the rom thread as well as waiting a bit, hoping to find a solution or it figures itself out. Nothing! Is it unsafe to pull my battery when its at 'Installing update' (75%) for an extended period of time?
Also, i am on CWM 5.0.2.8
Thanks
I flashed it from ICS (Ultragen) and had no problem.
You can try that as well.
Phone is rooted with latest TWRP, Cataclysm rom, and Franco kernel. It started happening when I flashed r11 Franco kernel and when I reboot the phone, it shuts down instead. I couldn't start the phone holding down the power button and I held it for over 20 seconds. I thought I bricked my phone. After few minutes fussing with the buttons, it finally booted up. However, every time I reboot my phone, it'll do the same and I had to fuss around the buttons keeping them press down for several minutes before it'll boot up to system or boot loader. As far as I can see, it can boot to recovery & system with no issue. I'm wondering if I need to flash to stock and reflash it again. Anyone knows anything about this or had same issue, please help. Thanks.

Listen like the kernel is the problem. So flash another one (easy way) or go back to stock.
If it's working fine then, it was the kernel which made this happens.
Much success

This is what happens: it gets stuck in the rebooting process. It doesn't properly shut down, it just hangs with the screen turned off.
Try flashing the stock kernel. Does it do the same?

Flashed with stock kernel and it's still doing the same thing. I also restore back to stock 4.4 with stock kernel and it's still doing the same. Do I need to unroot and root again then flash rom, kernel, and etc? Don't really want to do that if I don't have to but guess I have no choice? Thanks again.
Yep, do a factory reset and see if it's working fine again... I'm thinking so.

This means, going back on to the stock firmware. This will remove the root for sure.
After that starting with rooting again.

Hi,
I bought a moto g 4g LTE to my wife for her birthday. Everything was ok until she install the 4.4.4 OTA update.
After this, the device was not working as good as before : lots of force close, sim card not detected, can't power off the device by pressing power button, only reboot...
I decided to manually flash the stock 4.4.4. Once more, everything was good.... until yesterday. We wanted to backup some pictures to the computer then everything gone wrong, like the first time... Can't power off, sim not detected, force closes...
I flash again de stock 4.4.4 and after tried to install CWM recovery. Everything seemed to be OK but I couldn't boot to recovery. From bootloader or from Windows. It's the same with TWRP. (fastboot flash recovery *****.img)
Each time there is a black screen with sometimes few white lines through the screen and nothing more....
Any idea to fix this and get a functional recovery?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Thuva06,
Of course I unlocked the bootloader, otherwise I think I couldn't flash any ROM. On each reboot I have the Motorola advertising.
