Hey all. I followed the instructions for root. I ran the root.bat and my phone restarted on its own. I see the custom icon but than when it gets to the white T-mobile screen it just stays there and every so often it will vibrate?? Can anyone help?
Have you tried a factory reset? I had to reset mine because I had some system apps disabled and it was also stuck on the T-Mobile screen.

That is normal you were supposed to create a backup before becasue flashing a modified kernal and rooting could cause this white T-Mobile screen. All you have to do is reset the phone and upon first boot install trickster mod from play store and set CPU governor to interactive and check apply on boot.

Please helppp.Noiw i wish that i had never tried this rooting thing.Back to the tilt2 till i get some help i guess!!
Same problem but im stuck in the bootloader
See the post above "stuck in boot loader" the same solution applies to you.
I Was attempting to install a new build.prop on my samsung admire metropcs phone. I obviously didn't follow instructions correctly and the new build.prop I installed has caused my phone to lock up after initial boot. It will only get to the Hello, Hello ,Hello, Metro Pcs splash screen with the audio but then the screen goes black and the phone starts vibrating and won't go any further. I've tried to see if the hold power, back and lower sound steps would help. They don't I get the screen with the options to reboot, wipe and reload stock start, etc. but none of the options helps. The phone is rooted and has the Admiral Beast theme installed. I was trying to boost speed when I screwed up. Can anyone offer any help? I cannot get the phone to open the drive when using the usb cable to the computer so I could fix the file in system.
My Nexus 5 seems to get stuck at the update screen (the standing green android with the spinning polyhedron) after flashing to stock(+unroot) with softbrick/bootloop checked. The flash completed without error. I've left it at this screen for over an hour and not only does it not progress it doesn't even get to the progress bar at the bottom.
This afternoon my (unrooted, bootlocked, stock) N5 turned itself off 3 times while on the charger. Powered back on and then would find it turned off 20 or so minutes later when I checked it again. After the third time it booted to the "Google" screen and would go no further. I tried a hard reset but it gave an error. So I plugged it into my laptop and fired up Wug's NRT, unlocked the bootloader (at which point it got stuck at the same update screen described above for around an hour). I held power till it went off, booted back into bootloader (which showed as unlocked) and performed the flash to stock(+unroot) with softbrick/bootloop checked and ended up at the update animation again. Any thoughts other than RMA?
****Edit: Finally got the phone to boot after fastboot booting twrp. Was able to to wipe the phone (after multiple attemps blocked by can not mount storage/cache/etc/etc errors). Flashed 4.4 and the phone now boots to android BUT radio is non-functional (no signal despite being in my normal coverage area), any attempt to add an APN causes a hard reboot (had to go through all the setup screens again). Additionally, the phone won't turn off, even hard power downs (holding the button for 30 secs) lead to an immediate reboot. Still RMAing but I was able to relock the bootloader.
You really shouldn't RMA a phone after messing it up yourself by using a toolkit when you didn't know what you were doing.
Flash the factory images manually. That should get your phone up and running again.

Performed a manual flash with the exact same results. There is apparently something wrong with the hardware (which may explain why it was turning itself off and then wouldn't boot past the google logo.

Yep, I would agree.
So, after rooting my Orange Rono (finally), and getting the most of my phone, I decided to change the boot animation.
I changed one time, the phone rebooted ok, but it was pretty low-res, so then I tried an Android L 1080p 60fps boot animation,
after reboot it slowly shutters and then freezes completely, thing from I can go back only by resetting to factory and wiping cache.
Then I reboot the phone and get a bootloop, restart it and it boots fine, then it updates apps and stuff.
If I restart it again, I get the same problem.
The same behavior I saw being described by: The Dark Defender in the thread [SOLVED!] Help with bootanimation resolution at post #5:
Another problem
@metpolds The bootanimation you made is perfect, but for some reason my phone slowly stutters than freezes on almost the last couple of frames. The only way to stop it is to launch fastboot mode and go into recovery and system restore to a backup I luckily did not too long ago. It did this with another bootanimation as well. Hmm definitely phone related. It really stinks because I know it isn't a problem with the animations. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Oh, and also don't know if it'll help but right before it freezes the screen's brightness drastically dims, almost like when it unlocks.
EDIT: Fixed! Turns out my boot logos need to be mp4 format because im using stock ROM. I'll get the hang of things eventually lol.

.
So, my question is, can a boot animation cause this kind of problem?
It probably is a memory overflow/leak.
Managed to root again, installed another boot animation, everything is back to normal.
But, can anyone explain me why it does this?

May be the bootanimation resolution and frames aren't compatible with your phone
Hit thanks if helped

Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to help my friend with his soft-bricked G3. He wasn't rooted and had never even played with flashing anything, it just stopped booting one day and would display the "LG Life's Good" boot screen for a few seconds before going black and then just repeating this endlessly. I was able to get into recovery and download mode so I used the tot method to flash back to stock after a hard reset just produced the same results.
When I flashed the stock firmware, everything appeared to work fine, it went through the MiniOS bootup and everything, said success, gave me the hard reset status screen so when it finished I pulled the battery as instructed and rebooted but the phone still has the same issue. I have tried to run factory reset through recovery now that I flashed the new firmware and it still does the same thing, just hangs at the boot screen for a few seconds before going black and then trying again, endlessly.
Has anyone encountered this before? Is it bricked?
Thanks.

Pretty common prob plug it in to the wall charge see if it boots sometimes it still wont but most of the time it will the battery quality on the g3 is crap they last at most a year with a few exceptions i would first order a battery.
