Ok, so I just flashed the alexura (sp) rom, it worked fine, after a while I went into recovery to activate a lagfix and the BLN, goes through the reboot with backup and restore option, and hangs at creating /data, so I pull battery, do it again, and it takes forever at the creating /data part again but finally goes through and reboots.
Now when it reboots it scrolls a bunch of stuff, and see several failed and invalid arguments and then it shuts off and reboots to the same thing, over and over.
I pulled the battery and tried to load recovery and it won't enter it, it just keeps doing the same thing over and over, plugged it in computer and it wont recognize it?
Um, HELP?!? Any ideas?
WOOO HOOOO, I got it into downloader mode! I didnt think to try that.
Well back to stock and to try again.

Very strange problem..
Running King's Eris2G1 ROM (latest). Been running it for quite sometime without problems. However, just a few hours ago, it refused to wake up when I hit the 'menu' key. It would vibrate when I got a message, etc, but wouldn't wake up. I managed to get it to respond once, and then it did it again.
So I rebooted, and I get a blank screen. No G1 logo, nothing. Try to boot into recovery and fastboot, again, nothing. Pull the battery and try again, eventually get it into recovery, wipe and begin to flash a new ROM and then.. it does it again. And now I'm stuck.
Keep in mind I've changed nothing. It just happened, out of the blue.
I even tried swapping the SD card, to no avail.
Any ideas?
I have G1 sitting around that I never messed with until last night, so if it's bricked, it's not a big deal. The phone will turn on, and loop through the splash screen. The only way it will boot is in safe mode. When trying to do ANYTHING in safe mode (aside from power down), everything will FC. If i go into the recovery menu with the Home plus End key sequence, I get the "can't open cache recovery command". I've tried to install RC33 in that screen, and get "installation interrupted".
The phone was given to me, so I really don't know if it was rooted or what was on it before. I do remember it worked, and just one day stopped working. When it was working I never saw a superuser icon or any other apps you usually see with a root. Thanks in advance for any help.
No one? Is there just a full update I can throw on the SD card and get it running?
Try formatting the sd card fat32, putting dreaimg.nbh(search) on it. Then, put it in the phone and boot with camera+power. Follow the onscreen instructions, and hopefully it'll work.
If it doesn't, not my fault. Good luck!
Thanks Michael, but I did that already and it really didnt change anything. I noticed the recovery menu looks a bit different, and when I go to safemode, the "android" looks different, but thats it. Still cant boot, and still shows there is no recovery in the recovery menu.
After trying the update(made cwm backups btw) the phone is in a reboot loop cycle. However, I can't get back into CWM in order to restore the backup i made or even the revo_stock or the stockrooted zip. I can get into the OS to the point where it wants me to select a language then it tries to find the SIM and fails completely and reboots. If i pull the battery and try to boot from the power on the USB it will reboot to the LG logo then instantly reboot again... Ideas anyone?
cliffs:
-backed up in cwm
-tried to install gingervolt
-stuck in reboot mode
-cannot access cwm to restore
Did you wipe data both times MT said? Maybe try wiping again?
Did you try flashing from a froyo ROM?
Wiped date both before and after the flash of gingervolt. I was using the decrapped rom 1.1
I would happily go back and try to clear the data again, however i cannot access CWM in order to do so after the gingervolt flash... Even using the power button+volume down i get no access...

I had the same thing happen to me. Although once it rebooted i was able to bypass the setup process and just manually do it from the home screen.
If you can't even get past the LG logo without it rebooting, I also had that happen to me on my last phone a few months ago. I called Verizon and they said that they had reports of other phones doing that too. Unfortunately I never figured out how to fix it. The problem was that it never stayed on long enough for the computer to recognize it.
Flashing Gringerbread ROMS from froyo breaks this phone. I did that same thing
restoring a back up is what you need how to get there idk
I haven't had much luck getting the phone to do anything, it will stay turned on for ~2-3 minutes then instantly reboot...

Ok this is how i fixed this i pulled the battery then holding power and volume down button at the same time turn your phone on hold it until you get a black screen asking to wipe hit the power button to.confirm now it will reboot back to cwm and go to back up and restore then go to restore and restore one of your backups deck stock back up does not work it must be one you made.

CWM reboot loop
Use this zip from thecubed it works wonders.
My phone would not go past reboot option in CWM
Search fast boot loop thread for further instructions on how to use it.
I pulled the SD card from my Revo and used it in my old win mobile Omnia so it would mount on my PC then I copied the zip onto the stuck Revo card.
Well after a few hours of tinkering i got her working... CWM never wanted to register but finally after about 100 tries of power on+vol it actually caught and booted into cwm. from there it was a cake walk until i got into gingervolt and it refused to allow the phone to come out of airplane mode(why this was even on is beyond me). after about 4 reboots the phone is working flawlessly...
Hey guys, recently tried to flash HD 53.0, got the Rom onto virtual sim, installed the zip etc. At the end there was a message saying root might have been lost, do you want to fix it. So I of course pressed yes, now my phone is in an endless cycle of trying to boot into recovery, seemingly not working, trying to reboot normally, not working and then trying to reboot into recovery again. I can get into fastboot to power down etc, but when clicking recovery it just goes back into its reboot cycle?
I guess I ****ed up somewhere along the way... I checked the Checksum before putting it on the virtual sim and all was good.
Any advice guys?
Hello,
Today, while I was using my phone, it restarted itself and has been stuck at a boot loop almost entirely since then. It has successfully booted up 2-3 times but will usually restart itself within 30-45 seconds of booting and then will be stuck in a boot loop again. When it has started up its usually after it has been bootlooping for a while. I'm rooted and using xTreme Rom v2.0. I have had occasional random reboots here and there before but the phone always booted right up again without any issues. I haven't done anything with root/recovery since early September.
I've tried doing a factory hard reset without any luck. My phone booted up after I tried the hard reset and it was like the reset didn't happen. I can't boot into TWRP. I can boot into download mode and I tried to reset using kdz. It got to 100% but the the phone restarts and is back in the boot loop (then the lg flash tool gets an error and force quits). I've tried removing my sd and sim cards, I've tried swapping to a different battery, I've tried leaving the battyer out and letting the phone cool down. Nothing is working. I have noticed that when the phone is going to boot up correctly the full LG animation plays. When the phone is going to boot loop I only get a static LG Powered by android image.
Any suggestions?
Since I tried to rest using kdz I can't get past the boot loop...Device also isn't recognized when using adb
edit: It booted up once this morning and went to the initial set up screen, like the kdz worked. But about 30 seconds-a minute later the phone locked up, rebooted and has been stuck in a boot loop since.
That's weird..
So the KDZ goes through all the way successfully.
Phone does the update all apps etc.. and it still boot loops after a while?
Which ROM version are you updating it back to?
My phone just did the exact same thing. I'm also on the Extreme Rom. Everything you described is my experience too. When I use the LG tool it goes all the way through and reboots the phone but just keeps bootlooping. Did you find a fix? I've tried everything i can think of. Probably going to take it in tomorrow and get warranty on it.

I used the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
Download the correct KDZ file to flash back to and follow the rest of the instructions. You can also look at this video tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXO2SHqBiNk
The one you'll want to try is "Normal Flash"
"CSE Flash" is a full wipe that deletes all data.
Mine was weird where it told me my phone disconnected, but the progress bar was still continuing. If that happens to you, don't hit cancel, let the progress bar finish to 100%
