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.
I restart my phone because it did a lot of time to reset cache. I regered the time I did it but was late.
Now my phone opens but does not have mobile network and cannot access my /sdcard/
From recovery I can see my sdcard. What can I Do?
Are you fully stock? If so, then format /cache partition and then perform a factory reset via stock recovery.
If you aren't fully stock, and use a custom recovery then I would suggest you to perform a factory reset from the custom recovery (it won't wipe internal sd)..
If it still doesn't work then you need to go back to fully stock by flashing the factory images from Google.

Yep, just keep wiping / formatting cache until it fixes or fastboot flash the stock cache.img

Just flash the stock recovery via fastboot and then format cache multiple times until it successfully formats! Your data won't be lost.
Since you rebooted before the cache was formatted, it has ended in a messed up /cache partition.
If you want to backup data, you can use adb pull from recovery...
See above

You can try to restore the backup but I doubt if it will solve the issue. However, there's no harm in trying..
The cache partition is messed up.. It needs to be formatted first. That's why I suggested you to go back to stock recovery and format cache...
I have tried wiping cache on Philz Touch and twrp and it didn't solve my problem. I had to format the cache partition using the stock recovery and voila! Everything was fixed.

Flashing the stock cache.img won't wipe your saved data or backups.. There's no harm in trying.. However, if you're skeptical, adb pull all your important stuff and then do the flashes!
Finally I flashed cache.img and seems that everything is good again. Thank you for your help.
Just flashed "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-falcon_STOCK_KK" in my lollipop.
Then made a nanodroid backup to my otg pendrive.
Then when i reboot i stuck in a bootloop
How to fix it.
Do i have to erase cache after flashing recovery????
I don't know if it is still the case, but I have had to use the following fastboot command before I could access TWRP again in this situation. The command will wipe internal storage entirely.
fastboot erase userdata

I had the same problem but I can't remember how I solved. I do remember that I deleted all the user data. I then tried to do another nandroid and again it ended up with a boot loop so I think it's a recovery bug. I wouldn't do nandroid backups via recovery until the bug is fixed. I think there is an app in the play store that can make backups without the recovery but I haven't tried it.

You need to format data partition not erase.

I just flashed stock lollipop then flashed twrp.[didn't made backup this time,it's not working i think.waiting for update from dev]. Now twrp just works fine[with that screen flickering]

Your suggestion saved my day!
I flashed the entire firmware and it didn't worked for me. How can I fix that? I had to flash CM and then reinstall the backup I made.
Whats the fix for having everything working as before? Cause i'll need to flash stock again to be able to receive OTA updates.
Will "fastboot erase userdata" fix all these problems?

No, Not erease cache, but "erase userdata".
Use the command "fastboot erase userdata" from command prompt, that's all.
After you do this, press power button to switch your Moto G off and press power button again to start it. Your phone should normally boot and will be fresh as arrived from factory
Hope this helps you.

Hey guys,
I have a oneplus 6red rooted with magisk and twrp running oreo 5.1.11, today I decided to enter twrp and reset my phone by whiping dalvic, cache and data.
After reboot, phone screen is totall dark but the light indicator was flashing constantly, entering twrp is no succes, twrp screen is stuck like more then 10 mins. I believe that I cant enter twrp to do something about it. I have downloaded the stock 5.1.11 which is an oreo version
Did I do really something wrong ? if yes or no please let me know how to fix this.

Try bluespark TWRP and flash your OOS zip again and report back. Maybe a magisk flash will help too.

This may be a side effect of A/B partitioning and no longer having a recovery partition. Remember TWRP is a part of the boot partition now

Its the easy answer, say that you wiped system or such.
If you wiped Data with Magisk installed, without flashing the stock kernel, you won't be able to boot, since Magisk stores stuff necessary to boot on Data.
Usually, people is stuck on a infinite bucle on TWRP after this, you couldn't even enter TWRP? that's new. The issue you're telling sounds like you changed slot in TWRP somehow to an unused one or something like that, never heard of that.

Yeah I have wiped data in twrp with no issues. TBH it just sounds like there was no system to boot into. Wiping data is just that and shouldn't make the phone unbootable. Also you fixed the issue by flashing OOS which makes me believe this also. If you want to factory reset your phone the best way is to do it through settings.
