so after flashing clockworkmod and getting my phone out of fastboot my power button didnt seem to work at least for the most pushes so i factory restored from my phone not clockwork then it booted to clockwork after that it just keeps booting into clockwork anyone know how to fix this i dont feel like going to my home verizon store and letting them know i tried to flash several things and bricked it...if anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated
Try wiping data, cache,and dalvik-cache and flash the rooted factory stock rom from thecubeds post
i will do that and let u on an update in a few mins
when u say flash do u mean the directions on thecubed thread?
Yep. Good luck
dam didnt work im an idiot FOR doing this haHa
Aww that sux what exactly is it doing? Not booting up?
yeah after i did the factory reset in the settings on android it booted to clockwork then i restarted my phone and it booted to clockwork and after that clockwork lol now im guessing i need to really flash it cause i think thecubed rom was just to remove the bing and stuff but its actually not flashing totally
i think its my boot image that disapeared lol
when i back up my phone all the system is there but i think the boot image is gone so it cant boot up but i dont know not a pro hacker or anything i just like technology and how it works and u know what they say u will never learn how to fix it if u dont break it haHa
Lol I guess that is true, and I think the nandroid near the bottom of the development page contains a boot.img if your willing to try that out,hope it all works out for you.
thanks
drock thanks for ur help im booting the nandroid right now im an idiot and went wit the de-binged rom and it didnt have a boot.img but the nandroid had it LAWL im an idiot prob wouldve been fixed earlier thanks for replying at this time of night i was thinking nobody gonna answer me or anything
Lol no problem, happy to help.
damn thought it would work but it didnt still booting to clockwork if anyone can help or just a suggestion ill try dont feel like claiming insurance for a new one

Sorry for posting here, I realized after I posted it, I usualy read only this subforum, my bad, someone move it please. Sorry again!
Hey, I am scared out of my mind, the whole day i tried to install maxisma's latest ROM and I used switchrom to restore 2-3 times my slacerxs/dwang ROM.
My problem is that I gave up trying to install Maxisma's ROM and I restored with switchrom a ROM of mine and I see the T-Mobile Logo (recovery Works) and them the ROM's loading screen for 10-20 seconds, and then the screens turns black, it is backlighted, but blank screen, and it remains like that .... I tried to restore a even older ROM (original dwang1.13) and it does exactly the same.
What is the problem I really hope I didn't bricked my phone, of course I did all the wipe repartition ext things.

Sh*t, didn't realize that! I am formatting my SD Card and then I will install a fresh ROM, no backups and so on.

Yeah flash a new rom sign in just to make sure its okay then you should probably be able to do switchrom back to one of your custom mods
Me too
I had exactly the same problem yesterday, no idea what the actual cause was but the only way to fix it was to do a Nandroid restore of a previous ROM.

Thanks, I was 'trigger'(keyboard) happy, thing is maxisma's 2.0 ROM really pissed me off ), right then I really thought i did some damage to my phone through countless flashing. I think imma stay with my custom ROM(if I get it to work) for a while now, this can't be healthy, all this flashing )

In my case by doing a nandroid restore it won't work, I will format my SD now(X-Tremely SLOWW, hard format) and let's hope for the best.
EDIT: SOLVED, a entire format really helped.
Earlier my boyfriend tried to update my phone and we had errors. previously had cyanogen's mod working fine, but when we put AOSP_1.6_DRD20_ExpPack_v2.3.3 on it, we had errors galore. Now, I figured he was asleep and i'd try to factory restore it, and now i am stuck on the G1 screen.....and have no clue what to do, seeing as i think i pretty much screwed my phone...if anyone can help me ( in lamens terms ) that would be wonderful...thanks in advance...

Can you boot into recovery?
Why cant I go back to Cyanogen Mod from Eclair 2.1? I would appreciate it, if someone helped me.
What issues are you having?
well, when i attempt to apply the cyanogen rom, my phone just bricks at the G1 screen. I even re-rooted and went back to stock, but nothing works. Its like can only apply 2.1 roms now.
Well saying "brick" like you were is saying it wrong. A Brick means there's no return. But when you apply the cyan rom do you do the Htc Dev file and then the Cyan rom? If you just flash the cyan it won't do it right. It needs the first file THEN the cyan rom.
go to recovery console and clear your ext partition
mount system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd/*
reboot recovery
wipe and reflash..
good luck
yeah I loathe ppl saying "brick" its really a bootloop... your app data isnt compatible with the cy rom... when you wipe from the recovery it doesnt touch the ext partition, jus the system
xda Devs and Members should really make a lingo dict here or something explaining what bootloop and brick means so that no one gets confused or misunderstood =/...
brick means hearing "I told you so" for a month straight...
thanks....
Dude if i can make a suggestion..
Go Super D.
Less hassle
Much Faster =D
Well to me it is but to each his own.
How about i throw your punk ass into a brick wall! Its funny how one can talk **** over the internet....grow up *****!

you have to wipe/factory defult it like 8 or more times and clear your sd card out then put the rom back on and reboot and most likely it will work.... i did for me
...make a backup first though if you dont want to lose your stuff
im good now....i appreciate the input tho
I think i might've bricked my phone.. It's a LG-P990. I literally bought it today with Cyangenmod and i went into the ROM whatever app and i clicked check to see if there are updates for the current ROM and it said i had to install something to be able to check. So it asked which phone i had and i selected the LGE Optimus 2x. At which point the phone downloaded it and then brought me to the home screen. My phone now is black but when i touch the screen the buttons light up. Holding the power button doesnt do anything.. please help me I think I just screwed myself over big time and i'm really upset and worried.
edit: pulled the battery out and i guess the stuff all loaded but it just shows the LG loading screen and when i tap the screen again the buttons light up. What do i do? i know i probably shouldn't haven even gone in that section at all it said some warning and i just hit ok cause i assumed that this is an optimus 2x which it is, is it not ? what happened? im so confused.. should i just update the phone with the LG support tool because it is picking it up, would that fix all of this ? i tried to boot it up and hold the power + the vol down button and got into the CWM but i dont know what to do here, should i just factory reset wipe everything and try to flash it all again, the seller told me he unlocked himself is that difficult to do?
also sorry if this in the wrong place!!
tl;dr I need a very smart android mentor to help a stupid noob (this is my first android) to help me get back to the square i just obliterated. I don't think the phone is bricked as i can access the CMW.
You could also try wiping everything via cwm,or download some custom rom cm7,miui DjangoManouche put the .zip on the external sd card and choose install from zip in cwm or sort of.The option is on the main page.

Don`t worry, this is LG, impossible to soft - brick .
I would recommend you at start to go to stock, till you do some reading and learn a little about custom roms.
So, as toxie87 already suggested (and you have the same idea ), the procedure will be something like this:
1. Download this rom
2. Put the zip on your sd card
3. Boot in cwm, do a factory reset, and then install rom from your sd card
3. You are up and running again
if you have bricked your phone then try the below method...NV flash method by homermod.....

else as previously replied by our members read the threads and learn about custom rom and try flashing your SPEED....
hit thanks if i have helped you....:highfive:

The seller has now told me it's a LG G2x, so i don't know if i should still try to put that ROM on the SD card guess i'll have to sift around a bit to find the one for the G2x unless you have that link handy too but i'm sure it won't be too hard. Yet it is nice to hear that it's not completely gone haha, jeez was i worried I lost sleep on it! Thank you
edit: i just fixed everything thank you for the help!

Ah, you then have T-Mobile LG G2x. It is similar, but not the same. Do not flash any file from o2x to your phone, you will do more damage then you have now!
Go to your device forum -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1114
Find there a rom that suits you and the procedure is the same .

Glad that you have manage to solve it. Don`t hesitate to experiment on phone (after some reading, there is nothing to brake), just make a cwm backup before, and use files from your g2x forum .

Hi Im feeling really bad to my stomach as Im typing this.
I was trying to enable camera 2 api and Dolby atmos.
I flashed TWRP and booted into it (so I could install zips and for it to go back to stock recovery afterwards so I can get OTA)
I tried installing the camera 2 enabler but it didnt work, the Dolby one did work though.
But when i hit reboot it just stuck on that Mi logo, please please help!
I tried going back to TWRP and flashed the TWRP image as recovery (I figured it didnt want to boot because it didnt recognize the recovery) but still nothing.
I really dont want to have to erase everything. I didnt do a backup :crying:
Im running the latest stock global rom btw.
Edit2; Bootloader is unlocked, the phone is NOT rooted.
Is there a way I can prevent data from being lost? I can enter TWRP and I see there is a "BACKUP" option, can I maybe save some of my data? Im guessing my most important stuff is my Whatsapp convos and pictures. I have a USB OTG I can connect to it too.
I am desperately updating this thread in hope for someone to reply and searching MAO for any solution
UPDATE, I did it!
If anyone is as NOOB as I was, please, its even written on the TWRP WEBSITE WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE THING. YOU NEED TO DISABLE DM-VERITY. THIS IS EASILY DONE BY FLASHING LAZYFLASHER!
Im almost embarressed.
Dear Mod, feel free to do whatever with this thread, even though you guys didnt have the time to help it still felt comfortable knowing that you are out there somewhere caring. <3
Hi, so I'm having the exact same problem but cant fix it. If you thing YOU are a noob when it comes to phones trust me I'm worst haha. Do you think you could explain to me what u did exactly?
