[Q] Strange problems with my LG

Hello to everyone and I hope somebody will help me with my problem. First of all, I bought this nice phone 2 months ago. It was branded and, of course, one by one, I did the followings: unlock, root, install CWM( first 4.0.0.9, after 5.0.1.4 and finally 5.0.2.0). After that, because the software of LG is not so successful, I stepped forward(very fast, after 2-3 days) and installed different custom roms.
Everything was fine with my phone (except those random reboots), but few days ago I got the first force closes of some applications. Directly I applied those 3 resets from recovery and surprise, after booting, the phone was like before, all apps inside, nothing changed. After I tried again factory reset, even with code 3845#*920# and is much worst, the phone is not rebooting now from recovery mode. What is strange, the phone is operational in some way, some apps are still working, but if I stress the phone little more, I get a lot of force closes and I have to switch it off-on. Same, if I try to uninstall or to install apps force closes are coming. I connected the phone to computer, everything seems to be ok, I copied roms for flushing with CWM, but again surprise, those roms are not on sdcard of the phone, in fact I can't copy or delete nothing on sd-card. I tried to install a rom from an external card, nothing, anything I am doing, the phone going to the initial configuration which was when I got problems. I tried even to flash kdz or bin through Win XP or Win 7, nothing, I saw that the phone is stucking when starting installation of the rom itself.
So, I am ready to send the phone to LG, I suspect allready a problem of hardware. But my hope is that somebody of you which doesn't have secrets in Android and LG phones can give me a sollution.Thank you in advance! And scuze please my english.

I finally made it, Soft-Brick in another Way... -.-

Yeah, i finally made it. I bought a TMO-DE One S (With S4 Processor) 5 Days ago, unlocked the Bootloader (HBoot 1.09), rooted and SuperCID´d it, installed CWM Touch and installed TrickDriod V8.0 incl. its Tweak Package. After that i installed another Radio and everything was fine. It could have been SO easy, but i just HAD to do more, and now its soft-bricked.
At all TrickDroid is a really good ROM, but i hated the thingy that it shows G symbol instead of H when getting HSPA speeds. So i decided to dump it and go for a 4.0.4 / Sense 4.1 Stock Rom without branding instead until a JB / Sense Rom comes out. And thats were the trouble started. i flashed the stock rom with CWM, installed the boot.img that came shipped with it and booted it up. I did a full wipe before flashing. It booted up, Sense Stock Background Image came on and it showed "Unfortunately Wiper App is closed" at the "Preparing phone storage" stage. After OK´ing that another Screen came up about some system service wouldnt respond (dont know the exact Text anymore) wich i could close or wait for it. No matter what i do, or if i do nothing, after ~20 seconds the phone crashes and restarts. After the first restart the phone only boots into a black screen but with the Android bar at the top is working with time, battery-charging and a warning smybol. But the Phone wont react to anything i do except for lockscreen button. When its "online" i can push files via adb to the internal SDCard so i thought it wouldnt be a big problem. i pushed ONE MaximuS V2.5 ROM to the SD Card, booted into CWM and installed it. then flashed the boot.img of it via fastboot and booted it up. but nothing happens. still black screen with bar on top and not reacting phone that reboots every 20 seconds. i allready tried full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe and i dont really know what to do now.
A broken SD Partion cant be since i can push files via ADB to it and install them with CWM. But whatever i try to install every ROM boots only in this blackscreen. its clearly not hanging in bootloader, but in android itself. I dont really know what to do, and returning to my dealer is no option since Rooting, SuperCID´ing and flashing another ROM. You maybe have a Idea what to do now?
Peace
TK
PS: Sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand it
Edit: Okey, i got something. i formatted everything i could in CWM, and now (as its now supposed) it hangs in bootloader since no system is there for booting. The good thing is in CWM i get ADB Connection so i can still push files to the SDCard. Im now trying installing a ROM again. So at least i have a starting Point if it fails again
Edit 2: Okey, found it. The "Stock" ROM is broken, not my Phones Fault. and MaximuS just doesnt install right so nothing was changed. Installed TrickDroid again for testing and everything is fine again. Close this one...

[Q] CM 10 stuck at boot image (bootloop?) after half a year

Hey everybody,
Before something like half a year, I installed CM 10 on my nexus - and everything worked fine since than. Two days ago, I looked at my phone and tried to understand while it restarted itself, but I thought that it was restarting because it stuck or something...
So I put the phone back in the pocket and I was doing whatever I did. After about 15 minutes, I looked again at my phone, and it was exactly when the phone finally waked up! That was really weird, but after that it was working great...
Yesterday my phone worked fine, until the moment when it restarted itself again! When it happened, I left it on the table (because somehow I didn't connected it to what happened the day before) and did different stuff. 30 minutes later, when I've done those stuff, my phone was still at the boot image of cyanogen mod! Than I had realized that something really wrong in the phone, and tried to wake it up in some ways, but nothing is working...
Any idea how to make it work again, without a new fresh install? (I don't have a backup of my phone from about 3 months)
BTW, the recovery (cwm) and boot-loader is working, and also I'm using matr1x kernel.

Update your recovery, make a nandroid backup, do a clean install, then restore all data you want (sms, call logs, apps) via Nandroid Manager from playstore - it's free.

[Q] failed restore/flash bricked phone

the short story- my htc inspire is frozen on white htc startup screen and wont go anywhere.
the long story- i got my htc inspire 4g stock (used) beginning of this summer. it was almost perfect except some annoying apps and features. so i successfully rooted it using advanced ace hack kit. it was great. but the battery life sucked and so did the speed. so i decided to flash to new rom so i can overclock and undervolt. i then backed up my rooted stock rom onto my sd card. i then installed android revolution 7.3 and overclocked to 1.5ghz and undervolted -50. it was great now, battery life was way better and phone was faster. it was almost perfect except one issue- every once in a while, it would randomly just shut down and restart, then get stuck in a bootloop displaying htc white screen then the beats audio, then repeating endlessly until i pull the battery. that solves it until it happens again randomly (not that often but still annoying losing my data) i tried different settings in setcpu and daemon tools and same problem.
i then decided its time to revert to stock rom and try a new rom and see the difference and if i like it more, ill keep it. so i loaded recovery from rom manager (because my power button dont work) and i wiped to factory default and did all the steps of clearing the cache and the dalvik cache, etc it said it did it fine. i clicked install from zip and chose dirty unicorns rom that i found on this site for my phone.
it said it installed without any problems. cool, i clear caches again and reboot.
but this is the wack part: when it restarts, it still loaded android revolution... all the data on internal memory was gone from wiping it and my superuser was gone. (rom manager stayed) i thought that was weird. i tried a couple more times and same thing. and then i put the backup i made of my stock rom before i flashed anything onto my sdcard-> rom manager-> backup.
but when i went to rom manager-> backup, my backup wasnt there. i then went to manage backups and restore. it said no backups found. i then thought maybe it has to do with superuser gone? i plugged in my phone and loaded ace. i noticed it had a load stock rom option on it. awesome, i clicked that, chose first one (htc inspire at&t) and it started doing its thing. but it said it had a problem downloading some package or something? it said it connected to th site fine but kept coming up with that error and a prompt saying "do you want to continue[y/n]" and i type y hit enter and same error. i tried another one but same error. oh well. i went back to menu and chose option 1 for rooting it, it did its thing with no errors. rebooted my phone. except now, its on htc start screen and wont go anywhere. its just forever stuck there. i did figure out just now that since my power button dont work, i could load hboot by taking out battery, and holding volume down while sliding battery in. but it wont go up and down on the menu with the volume keys. since my power button dont work i cant select one anyways but i should still be able to go up or down right?
well thats what happened and i feel like a retard.. if anyone might know whats wrong please help

ok i solved the issue after constant reading. i had to reformat my sdcard to fat32 and put stock pre rooted rom since i still had s-off. then it was just load hboot and it loaded files from sd card automaticly (took a moment, i thought it wasnt going to work) but it said found file (only file on the card now) and then accepted install. now im back to stock pre rooted rom. im so happy i didnt completely ruin my phone <3
im sorry for wasting everyones time. i should have read more before posting, as the thread that helped me solve this was on this site.

Stuck in a loop, need help

Hi all
I’m a complete noob at this and it seems like I have got myself into a bit of a pickle. Sorry for the massive description but I thought it would make it easier to get a good answer.
My Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT 19505 LTE
PDA I9505XXUEMK8
CSC I9505BTUEMK5
MODEM I9505XXUEMK8
I successfully rooted my phone using Odin. In Odin I added the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5" file to the PDA field then rebooted the device. Then I added the "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx" file to the PDA field, rebooted the device and the phone automatically opened in TWRP recovery. In recovery mode I wiped the cache, system and dalvik cache. I then went to install, browsed to the "I9505 Official_Google_Edition_4.3_by_Jamal2367_Finaly_v2.0" file on my SD card, rebooted the device and the Google logo came up on the screen for a few minutes and all was good. Got my new ROM, ran a root checker and all was good.
After some research I decided I wanted to use the Pacman ROM as it seemed to a lot more customisable. Using the same method I went to TWRP recovery wiped the cache, system, and dalvik cache. I then went to Install, browsed for the pacman ROM and the Gapps file on my SD card and everything installed ok, the phone restarted and the pacman logo came up everything was fine. Although I did notice on start up that I got this message.(and have had this error message ever since)
kernel is not seandriod enforcing
set warranty bit : kernel
After using the Pacman ROM for a day I noticed a lot of bugs like my apps would disappear, I couldn't use my banking apps and my phone was generally performing very badly. So I decided to remove the ROM and use CyanogenMod ROM under the recommendation of a friend. So again I pressed home+power+vol up to enter recovery mode but this time it didn’t enter the TWRP recovery it entered the stock recovery mode. This was slightly concerning but I proceeded to use the list menu and cleared the cache etc, browsed the SD card and went to the CyanogenMod 10.2 ROM I previously downloaded. It began to install but in red I got the error message stating that I didn’t have the right permission or signature. The phone rebooted back to the Pacman ROM. I tried the above three times and it still continued to boot back into Pacman ROM sometimes I struggled to even get back into recovery mode.
Soooooo I decided to try and go back to the Google Edition 4.3 ROM and play it safe, using the method from my first paragraph. But when it installed through TWRP I got an error message saying cant find MD5 file. The device rebooted and the Google edition logo came up on the screen but it seems to be locked in a loop. The Google logo wont go away and the phone vibrates once then three times quickly every 10 seconds.
I can still enter both TWRP recover and Download Mode. But I don’t want to mess around with it anymore without getting some advice. Any help would be much appreciated as I really need my phone working.
Thanks again
Aiden

Did you create a backup while on your first run with google edition? If so wipe cache, system, and dalvik and restore to your backup. Should put you back to where you began.

I know I should, but I didnt. Is it still fixable ?

*Update*
Couldnt help myself had to have a tinker around. Managed to get Cyanogenmod 10 working with Gapps. Gonna see how I get on with this. Although still would like to know I have been having all these problems.

Sometimes things just dont go as planned: p I have easily soft bricked my phone around 10 times and always able to fix it. You really should have made a stock backup before flashing anything. I recommend doing it now so you at least have a known working configuation backed up for future use. Trust me backups are your friends!
