G2x rebooting.

G2x appears to be stuck in a boot cycle. After completely draining its battery, it began to happen. Ive tried charging while its off and it still happens. Its gets to the lock screen and it tuns off again. Stock rom, rooted, nv flash. Help..

When I had this problem on the gb leak I had to unlock as soon as it showed up. I switched to bionix as soon as it was released and it hasn't happened since. Might be an app causing the problem though.

Did you make a backup after you flashed clockworkrecovery? If so than retore it and you should boot fine. If you didnt make a backup then boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

REG, I have clockwordmod and I did a backup of my stock, but I think I did not have sufficient space on my SD card, so when I did the restore it succeeded, but when I rebooted my phone it's stuck on LG logo, do I have to reboot in recovery and do a factory reset?

Things to try
1 Factory reset in cwm
2 Load CWM internal recovery via nvflash (since you seem to have a small microsd)
3 Load another rom or nandroid back to stock again of your internal mem

I don't want to screw it up, would factory reset work for me in cwm?

It'll just wipe all your apps/cache. If that doesn't load correctly, then you got something wonky in either your boot or system.

Okay, so if that doesn't work, how can I get passed the LG reboot?

I already told you what to do. Look at what I wrote for options 2 and 3.
Edit: I actually told the OP what to do, but it goes for you too if you are in the same situation.

This happened to me today while I was out getting my car fixed! I was playing the new free game from amazon when it got a little hot so I let it rest, then next thing you know it was stuck doing the rebooting cycle. I was pretty pissed since I really raved earlier about how good this phone was until it struck me all the sudden.
I was at costco when this was still happening and showed it at the kiosk and asked if I could get a new another model since the G2X was making me pull my hair and basically I just have to bring the box in and they will replace it with the phone of my choice. Hoping they have sensation before the end of the month because this piece of brick is going. In the end I had to press down on the volume and power at the same time to LOSE ALL MY DATA to do a hard reset.
I don't care what people say about this phone and how great it is. I literally in the middle of costco curse the crap out of this phone!

Titanium and nandroid backup is definitely your friend.

HELP! G2X will not boot up, will not factory reset

I just got a replacement G2x and ended up one click rooting it. I installed bloat freezer and started freezing programs that I did before. I accidentally froze "launcher" since I am using launcherpro anyways. It seemed to be ok, but then I froze App Pack and it gave me the constant force close like some of the apps do. I pulled the battery and upon starting it up again, it gives me the LG logo at full brightness. It then dims to half brightness and then goes black. (unresponsive)
I try power + volume down and it brings me to the unpacking android like it should for a factory reset. Shortly after, the screen goes black and just sits there unresponsive but with the notification lights lit up. I had not gotten around to doing an nvflash recovery yet and dont have rom manager or clockwork installed yet. I just want to get back to stock or be able to at least boot up.
Please help.

I believe factory reset on stock recovery is volume up + power. Either way, I'm pretty sure you have to hold them until it starts the restore process.

Nvflash CWM recovery, restore the stock nandroid dump.
This should take roughly 10 mins to complete and will get you back to stock (minus the recovery).

what he said. took the words outta my mouth ahah

Thanks guys, I had done the NVFlash before, I was just worried about bricking my phone if I did it when I wasn't supposed to

Well after doing all that, it still only boots to the LG Logo. I can enter clockwork recovery and even do a factory reset (and the G2X stock nandroid backup) but when I restart the phone it won't bring me past the LG screen.......
Any other suggestions?

Send it back saying they sent you another messed up one, and then again I suggest to you and everyone else to forget about rooting, since there are more negatives that outweigh the benefits to a rooted phone. It's just foolish and it's no wonder that the G2x has a lot of problems, it's because most that do complain of a problem have rooted or tried rooting the phone.

If I send it back and they get it to boot, it will still have superuser which means it was rooted. I don't want them to void any warranty and I am sure they would not have let it out of the warehouse like that.....
Rooting is not the reason the G2X has problems. LG is the problem....
Anyone have anything useful for me to do. I like that I can at least enter recovery and do a factory reset, I just need to get this thing to boot past the LG logo.

Did you do full wipe before restoring. Install a different rom instead of stock....

After you did the reset and it would not boot up - have you tried pulling the battery and booting up again? I have had to do that a number of times.

I have pulled the battery so many times. What will flashing a new rom do that a stock rom won't?

After you restored the stock nandroid, did you wipe data, cache, dalvik again?
Wipe before and after restore. It works, I've done it oodles of times.

In addition to what GideonX posted, make sure you format system, format cache, and format data.

I did just as Gideon stated and it still cannot boot past the LG logo. I wiped everything before, flashed Gunmann's stock nandroid backup, then wiped everything again....
What now?

This same thing happened to me on my second night of fooling around with the phone. I fixed it by reflashing with the nvflasher. Make sure you follow all the steps to the T.

I followed every single step exactly. I ended up just putting the battery in and it booted fully after about 5 hours of sitting there. The battery was at 1% about to die. I don't know what made it boot up near its battery death. Either way, I was able to unroot and the next time I turned the phone off, it wouldn't boot again. It looks like it is an issue with the phone itself

Same problem
Hey, did you fixed the problem??
I'ts happening with my G2x...
Some times, it wont boot up, i leave it alone, and then powers up with 1% or 0% battery.
Today booted up with the right charge. And works flawlessly. But if i power it off i'm shure that the problem will be back.

[Q] Backup from corrupted device? help!!!

Hey so I rooted my tab 2 a while ago, like back in april I think after I got it. Anyways its been working fine until a couple of weeks ago it started saying "Android is upgrading... starting applications" every time at boot up but after that it was fine. I didn't think anything of it. Well yesterday I left it on the bed and I came back and the battery had run out and died while I was gone. So I plugged it in and booted it up and it said "Android is upgrading... starting applications" then flickered to the homescreen and went back to the "Android is upgrading..." message. It stays in this loop and won't boot. Ive done some searching and havent come up with anything. Any idea what is going on?
I believe that it is still on the original firmware (although rooted) so that would mean 4.01 What I want to do is to back up all my data but I am not sure this is possible if the device is bricked to some extent. Is there any way I can do this? If there is a way to recover the system then that would be great. Otherwise I will just do a factory reset and then upgrade to the latest firmware and what not. Thankyou for your help! - Josh

I think your cache partition is corrupt. Try wiping cache in recovery?

[Q] Restart loop(not bootloop) - really weird

Hey lads,
I got a really weird problem and I've tried nearly everything I can think of. I had EMUI 2.3(b121sp06) and I tried the online OTA update to b307 if I remember right(was automatically suggesting the update) and at the update screen it loaded to about 99% and then stopped. Said not to press power while on this screen but obviously it wasn't going to finish. So I reset the phone and it started the "recovery loop", so basically keep trying to apply the update. I had to flash CWM to break out and flashed the whole system by hand(recovery,system,boot,cache,cust and userdata img files) and it starts up but it keeps resetting and seemingly it's random. Android boots up, I don't touch the phone--> boom reset. Weird thing is it even does it in recovery.
If I really want to explain the problem it's like as if my finger got stuck on the power button(that naturally made me think that the button might be f*cked), but booting into fastboot and not having resets cleared my suspicion. What I also noticed is that every time it boots up it doesn't recognize the sim card and I have no signal or whatsoever.
Tried multi tool unbricking method -> doesn't work
Tried factory reset from stock recovery(had to be fast so it doesn't reset before) ->doesn't work
Tried wiping dalvik cache and factory reset from CWM ->doesn't work
Tried killing battery by letting it keep resetting -> battery drained, reset loop stopped ->put the phone on charger->reset loop started again
I have no f*cking clue how can I get out of this, will keep trying though. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hi
Did you try to remove the Sd Card ? Honor 6 reboot is often due to faulty SD Card.
Which model do you have ? L04 ?
B307 upgrade sure ?
Seb

Yes, that was my first idea, still does it though. I have the L02 and I'm not positive it was b307, but it started with 3, could be b303 if there is one.

I don't know for L02 but for L04 there is a Full ROM that you can flash with the three buttons method. (Vol+,Vol-, power and put the ROM in /dload folder on the SD card).
Maybe there is such thing for L02 ?

There is, but as I said the phone restarts even in recovery. It's like the phone restarts every 30 secs except for fastboot.

if it's not SD card or internal flash problem so, it seems to be hardware related to me (

Would make sense but it occurred only after I tried OTA. Would be really surprised if that killed that hardware :-/

Unfortunately not, I'm out of ideas, trying to negotiate with the seller to sort something out, I think the phone is beyond saving

Same thing happened with me. Don't have any solution. Have you fixed it?

Its might be a battery problem Or power flex cable. Try to turn on the phone during charge

guys im facing the same problem now... waiting for any solutions

I have tried stop & uninstall some app
I've tried as quickly as I can when the phone (nokia x) is on, then I stop> uninstall I consider potentially cause this problem (facebook, whatsapp, uc browser) and then it managed to prevent the continuous restarts. but problems arise even though the application had me uninstall and then I restart the phone. and it is back again, I uninstalled the app that has remained with the error settings and restart repeatedly. who knows what else : '(

In the past my battery lost it's endurance pretty much. Furthermore I've read that a defective battery causes lots of weird behaviours on our Honor 6, which was the same to mine.
In my case a replacement of the battery worked well, to get my Honor 6 back to life:

It's not that difficult and lasts approx. 30-45 mins. Spare Batteries are available for 6 - 10 bucks on ebay or directly from the chinese internet stores.

Stock rom keeps corrupting, advice please.

Sorry if its been asked, i tried a search but couldnt match my problem.
I bought a used samsung s6 for my son, it seemed fine when we checked it.
But its got an odd bug where if it restarts it gets stuck on boot up.
I've used smart switch to reinstall the offical samsung stock rom
The re-install all his apps.
The phone works fine and re-boots fine.
But after a few days, if restarted it wont boot and just gets stuck on the boot loadung screen. None of the special boot options helps, clearing cache or reset.
The only fix is to use smart switch to do a complete wipe and reinstall official software.It has never had Knox tripped, and the guy didnt seem to be the type to run a custom rom.
It getting to be a pain as he cant turn his phone off and if his battery runs down gis ogone will become useless until i re-set it and wipe all his data and settings. Which I have to do on an almost weekly basis
I have a few questions...
Is it a hardware issue? (It the stock rom on a phone thats never been modded afaik)
anybody know whats causing this to bomb in stock firmware?
Any idea how to fix it?
Would a custom rom fix it?

I had this problem with my brand new S6 when I first got it. Yes, random reboots were occurring every now and then, which I could live with. Then one day it just got stuck at the boot logo and didn't boot no matter how many times I re-flashed stock firmware with Odin. Turns out it was an issue with the Main Board inside the phone. Once I got it repaired it's been fine ever since.
