Hi.
So I was flashing a ROM using CWR but it looks like the Zip file was corrupted. So after I selected the zip file, the phone restarted and now is stuck on LG Logo.
Anyway to resurrect the phone from dead?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Try power button+vol down+3d button if you can get the recovery....

Thanks for the reply.
When I hold those three buttons the phone started, shows LG Logo for a few second then turns off.
I tried LG Mobile Update tool as well, after I type my Serial and IMEI, it says "Starts downloading data..." then immidately shows a "There a fatal error with LG Update tool, please contact your adminisitrator"

When you see the logo release only the power button immediatly after 5-6 second the recovery should appear...
If you will not able to get the recovery look here:

I had the same problem and:
1) Start LG Mobile update
2) Power off your phone without USB cable
3) Connect the USB cable and wait for the LG logo and the annimation battery
4) Pressing Vol.up + power 6-7 seconde wait for the LG logo and The screen turns off
5) Again pressing Vol.up + power 6-7 seconde and wait until the drivers are installed (LG Mobile update detects your phone and the screen is always off)
Here I was lucky because lgupdater detected my phone and then said that an update was needed. Applied and then everything went fine.
PS sorry for my english...

I have the stock v10c ROM on a 'Rogers' LG Optimus 3D.
I had been using the Google+ Android client and pushed the power button to put the phone tosleep (with the G+ screen still being displayed). About 15 mins later I pulled the phone out of my pocket and it was dark, but the touch countrols were all lit up.
I know that usually isn't good news.
I pulled the battery and tried to re-boot. It gets to the Rogers bitmap and then boot-loops, with a flash of the Rogers scren each time it restarts a cycle.
I did vol+down+Power and the it booted into a recovery (3e) menu that only offered me the chance to wipe all user data. Ok. I did that. The phone then presented a triangle logo and the green android and sat there.
After about 10 mins I pulled the battery again and did the Vol+down+3D button+Power boot to the REAL recovery menu.
I then did a factory reset. I have assumed the Home button is the enter button (BTW).
Again the triangle and the green android appear. They are still there 10 mins later.
Not sure what to do now...the phone won't boot and the factory reset won't fix it. But it isn't dead. I can still get to recovery, so in theory this is fixable. I just don't have time for it right now.
I was wondering if maybe the phone had updated OTA in my pocket and i didn't realise it and I may have messed up the process. But I have never seen a phone do an OTA update without first notifying the user and seeking confirmation...so I that probably isn't the case.
Very annoying.
I'm posting this here in case anyone else has the same experience.
Hi, I've got a little sceary problem with my desire s.
I installed reaper v 1.2 ROM, configured it, everything was ok. But now phone is not responding. Only black screen. I tried vol up/down and power button configuration - nothing happend.

Don't panic brother. I've been in a similar situation many times. Whatever you do... DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY till the phone is switched off!!
Just disconnect the phone from the laptop or wall socket (remove the usb cable from the phone) and leave the phone. Don't sit and stare at it, and don't try to reason it into rebooting. Also, stop pestering God...he doesn't do phones. (I think) Just relax, and go watch T.V. or something.
One out of two things may happen :
1. It may reboot on it's own. Has happened to me... Sometimes it happes in 5 mins, sometimes in 20, and sometimes, never.
2. The battery will eventually run out of charge and your phone will switch off by itself. Now remove the battery, reinsert after 2 mins and boot up into recovery. From here, you can restore your previous nandroid backup.
P.S. If you do not have a nandroid backup, just reflash the ROM after a full format ("format all partitions, except sdcard" option in recovery). Note that if you have unlocked using HTC site, this will not work until you manually flash boot.img (you can find it in the ROM (Reaper_v1.2.zip) file) from fastboot.
Let me know what happens.
Now I' still waiting, without phone touching. Led is ON (orange colour). Phone is disconected (and me too ). Battery level was 13% before this insydent.
When LED will turn off (I don't know when) I'll reinsert battery and let you know what's up.
I hope, I did't bricked it...

Don't worry. I am virtually a 100% sure you have NOT bricked it.
Just don't panic and let the phone switch off first.
BTW, you didn't say if you unlocked your bootloader with HTC Dev site or Revolutionary?
Do you have a Nandroid backup of your previous ROM ?
How new are you to all this (flashing etc)?
Is this the first custom ROM you have flashed on this device?

My phone was s-off by xtc clip (I did't use revolutionary), boot loader was unlocked on HTC Dev site.
I flashed at first CMW recover, than 4EXT Touch recovery and used it.
I tried a lot of roms, virtuous, endymnion, runny. The best for the beast was CM7.1, nightly. I flashed it month ago and updated succefully. Two days ago I decided to try REAPER. I wiped cache and dalvik's, than flashed reaper v 1.1. Today I updated it to 1.2 version (the same way as always) and I had a problem with dialer, so I wiped everything. Format all ex. sd card was done and I flashed reaper 1.2. I confogured it, just I like (set a new gov reaper, freq 118 (I don't remember) low and 1074 high) and thats it. I tried laucher, sms, phone and thats all.

Well in that case, don't worry your phone is safe. Just wait for it to switch off. Then after booting into recovery, just restore the last working ROM backup that you have. Don't flash the Reaper 1.2 that you downloaded till you have confirmed that the md5 checksum matches the one posted by Lowveld.
Hmm. Strange.
Phone turned off - LED was off, so I pulled battery, wait 2-5 minutes (without battery) and tried to turn it on. I saw a black screen. I press vol up/down power buttons, phone vibrated 3 times (quick) and I saw a green LED. I tried turn it on (with vol down button and without it) - nothing. I waited a while then a Led turned off.
I pluged device to the charger - orange led started blinking, so I tried to on phone - nothing. I restarted it (3 buttons) - it vibrated 3 times quickly and the same story from my first post.
Phone is unplugged, orange led is on (not blinking) and no react.
Any ideas??
Can you still boot to recovery?

Well, the blinking signifies inadequate charge for a bootup. Wait till the orange LED stopsa blinking and turns on constantly... then boot into bootloader (Voulme up and Power button - don't let go of the volume button even after releasing the power button) - I don't want you to restart by using three button combo...otherwise you'll be back to the same problem, trying to boot into a broken OS... Just disconnect again and wait for it to switch off.... then reinsert battery, connect to charger, then wait for the LED blinking to stop. Have a little patience! and DON"T RESTART with three button combo. Just boot into bootloader with Voulme up + Power key.
You have to follow these instructions carefully, exactly as i have written. Report back what happens.

I did it exactly like you've written. Waited till phone, switch off, connected it and charged till led stopped blinking, disconnect, and try to boot it into recovery (vol up + power). Phone wibrated 3 times (screen did't react) and the same story. Now waiting for discharging and I'll try again.
Anyway thanks for your help and interest.
What else I can do? If the phone is not responding I can send it to warranty service. Meybe they will honour it... If not...ehss very expensive play.

Well, it that's not workin, Wait till the phone switches off again. Then configure adb, make sure it detects your device (use the command: adb devices) and then type the following at the cmd prompt :
adb reboot recovery
This should take you to recovery.
Ok, what can I say? Youe last thread worked!! I restared device, connect to computer - it was found as usb disk. In sdk tool divece was also found, this time as my ds Just restarted a recovery. First I saw an error in 4ext recovery, but it started with orange letters. I wiped all, formated all, recover old system, restart phone. And it works! Now I flshesd last jorgens CM7 and starting to config my phone. But a heart attack was close... Thanks man

You're welcome brother! And Congratulations!!
I know what you must have gone through till you reclaimed your phone. I remember the first time i was in a situation like yours... had to figure out this discharge the phone, LED blinking etc... thing on my own..., everyone else said battery pull was my only option. But i sitll didn't do it. I had around 60% battery remaining before this happened, so you can only imagine how many sleepless hours i spent waiting for the damn battery to run dry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271360
The important thing is to resist the temptation of pulling battery. Everything can be salvaged if you don't do that, but once you fry your eMMC, there is nothing anyone can do without physically repairing the phone.
May I suggest you edit the topic your OP and add the word [SOLVED] to the title. This will ensure anyone in trouble can easily locate this thread out of the cacophony on xda!
So, been running CM10 for a long time on tab. Decided to go back to stock, and downloaded the JB stock rom. Flashed via ODIN. Everything seemed to go OK, except that after the flash the screen went black for ages, and didn't reboot. So I hard powered it off. Probably what did it, but it wasn't going anywhere for about 15 minutes, so figured it was the next step.
Now, I get the battery charging icon. The system goes through the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 white logo, the swirling then glowing Samsung logo, and then loops through that forever.
It wouldn't be such a problem if I could back into ODIN and do another flash, but I can't get into download mode (normally I do it via adb but that isn't working since there is no USB connection at all). Tried all combinations, power/up, power/down etc. It just boot loops as above. I'm pretty sure I bricked it, but just wanted some confirmation.
Been doing this on and off for a long time, and it's the first time I've ever got stuck like this.
Thanks in advance.
Plug USB charger, your device will boot into charge mode. From charge mode you can boot into recovery by keep holding VOLUME UP button and than press POWER button. Clear data and cache in recovery, reboot.

Thanks, but I tried all combinations of Power/Volume UP and Power/Volume DOWN, it just goes through a normal boot cycle until it starts looping.
I guess it's possible I'm not using the right timing. I'm assuming that you hold Volume UP or DOWN and then press and hold Power until the screen goes black, and then release? I've done it like that many times, and also continued to hold everything down as the logo appears, and then system goes back to the battery charging icon as if it powers off again. I sound like such a noob when I type stuff like that!
I saw ODIN successfully write system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img, so I'm thinking any CWM recovery I had on there is toast.

You must pull usb cable before start.
You can try to re-flash.

Well, don't I feel like the idiot!
How did I not think to disconnect the USB before trying this? tuxafgmur, your first "Thanks" has been registered, I've got it from here!
P.S. Welcome to the forum!
it sounds strange. never heard of such a strange boot problem. anyway it could be that while transferring boot.img it became damaged due to some error. i know you probably tryed but you may try and connect it to linux or mac os x in order to check if you could retrive more data about the tab. for example the mac could find if it is totally corrupted. normally when i plug my samsung devices it ask me to add the samsung-modem also if they are turned off. meybe if it happens the same to you you can try to adb fastboot it also if i doubt myself about it working, but give it a shot
i hope my bad english is not preventing you to understand what i'm saying!
give us new feedback!
Hello,
My phone went into bootloop and I cannot do anything to open it. I cannot connect it to the computer or wipe all data from the phone. I have never done aything on it and the bootloop happened while i was sleeping. Woke up to find that the phone is constantly rebooting. Also the phone does not stay in fast boot mode. I managed to open the recovery mode and select wipe all data but the process interrupts and the phone reboots again. I also think that the power button might have a problem because when i only press the volume down button the device enters fast boot mode. Thanks in any help
Your power button may have been stuck. Try to press it harder or from one end.

I have opened to phone to see that the power button was indeed stuck. Had to jam a piece of paper there to make it stop for now.
Install the Recovery ROM with MiPCSuite.
Hello, today my xiaomi phone just stopped working. In the morning when i checked my phone it was all good, but then when i checked it like half an hour after, it wont unlock, i tried the power button, 2tap, fingerprint reader, nothing. My notification led was flashing as so i had some notofications so i knew it wasnt completely dead so i jsut hold power button to restart my phone. Now is where the trouble begins. It only shows "redmi" logo and wont start it got stuck in boot. I tried fastboot its changes to it but nothing can be done. I tried to hard reset it thru holding power button and volume button up together but it just restart again. I cant switch thw phone off nor i can switch it on it just loops there in boot and nothing can be done. So my question is is here someone who had similiar problem and fixit. If yes please tell me how.
Thank you all in advance.

Hi, I recommend you first of all back up your data if still possible.
Then, reboot into fastboot.
-fastboot erase system
- fastboot erase cache
- fastboot erase userdata
-fastboot erase recovery.
Then clean flash a rom.
