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...

I had to reflash my phone with gingervolt 1.3, after being stuck in CWM and using the recovery file to get it booted. After flashing 1.3 it will boot and stay on for about 30 seconds before rebooting. any help?

Are you doing the "Factory Reset" option in the settings menu? If so, you're not supposed to a factory reset that way. You should only do a factory reset through the Recovery menu.
Also is your phone plugged in. I found if mine is then it just stays at the boot screen. Kind of like if you turn your phone on when its plugged in it shows the charging screen and you have to restart it again to get it to boot

I did a factory reset from the phone and realized you werent supposed to only after it was done. now it stays booted and usable for 30 seconds before rebooting again. I cant even use lgnst to fix my phone because it doesnt stay booted long enough to apply usb debugging mode and what not.
Any ideas of what i can do? i can still get into CWM if that helps.

Did you flash the exit recovery zip?
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
yes i have flashed it and it doesnt help. i think thats just if you are stuck in recovery and im not.
I had this same problem horribly, couldn't even use my phone. Gingervolt 2.0 has mostly fixed it, no more rebooting as soon as the home screen loads anyway.
I used to be able to get it out of the endless reboot cycle by quickly opening up the settings dialog as soon as it was possible and randomly opening and closing sub-menus for about a minute... at least that would get it to stop for a little while so I could use the thing!
Yesterday I suddenly found my phone to be turned off by itself. When I tried to turn it on again, nothing usually happened. Sometimes however, it looked like it would turn on, but the white bootlogo would barely show, or maybe up to a second, and then it would go black again. When connecting a charger the charging icon would show for a second, and then black again, and still the phone wouldn’t boot. Recovery or download mode wouldn’t work either. I was hoping it was only the battery that had just died, since the phone won’t work at all without the battery, even with the charger connected. But when I tested a friends battery today, it would still not boot, and my battery worked fine in his phone. But, at least it turned on each time now, showing the bootlogo for a second, and then all black again. Recovery mode still won’t work, but I’m able to get it in download mode. If I connect the phone to the PC by cable first, it won’t start or go in download mode, I have to get it in dowmload mode first and then connect. I was using stock system v2.3.3 from about a year ago, but with Clockworkmod kernel.
So what could have happened? I figure the system is either corrupt, or even wiped?
Or could the phone itself be badly corrupted?
I also have to mention, that a few months ago the internal and external SD-card was suddenly wiped, and I got a message about error on one of them and had to reformat.
Since download mode is ok, I hope there is a chance to maybe flashing the system again with Odin?
Is ther any way to connect the phone to the pc and get access to the memory to maybe copy whatever data still there, if any? Or can I reflash to just put the new system on top of everything without formatting?
I think your sd connectors are corroded or damaged. For your data try to flash the semaphore kernel by Odin to get a recovery (link ). After flashing, go into the recovery look for "mont and storage" and select "mount usb storage" or something like that. With your pc connect your device and copy your data in your pc like an usb stick.
If it doesnt work, say goodbye to your data and try to reflash a rom by Odin

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow morning at work, don't have the time today.
At least I do have a complete backup from about two months ago, so it's no disaster about the data. There's not really anything that important on the phone, it's just all the work setting everything up like I want it again.
Please reflash a stock rom with odin...
I was able to flash semapfore kernel, but still I couldn't get the phone in recovery mode.
Flashed stock firmware 2.3.3 (last nordic version), and the phone booted fine, but lots of old programs kept crashing and messing with the system. Best of all, everything on the internal sd was there, so all the latest titaniumbackup was there. So I copied this to the PC, did a factory reset, flashed CF-root again, copied the titaniumbackup and clockworkmod-backup to the internal sd, and cwm-backup is beeing restored as we speak. Then titaniumbackup will be restored and everything should be fine for now.
I'll be leaving for holiday in a week, so I don't want to use lots of time right now to do a clean setup of the phone. There is way too much other things I have spend my time on before the holiday. But after the holiday I think I'll just have to do so.
Thanks for helping.
For your apps who crash you have to wipe apps data (with TB).
The apps crashing when I just reflashed didn't really matter since I was going to install the backup anyway.
But a few apps kept crashing even after I flashed the backup. So wipe app data was what I eventually found out I had to do.
And so the same thing happened again.
But this time it doesn't seem like reflashing will help at all.
Crappy trashphone, it's been a disaster rom day one.

The phone won't boot, and won't go into recovery mode, only download mode.
When I turn it on the boot logo only shows barely, and then nothing happens, just like last time.
I've tried reflashing several times using Odin, but this time it doesn't help, phone still won't boot. I've tried both without repartition, and wit repartition (and pit).
My friend got me to put his phone on cm9 after using froyo for a long time.
The strange thing was that the method to get into recovery suddenly changed from volume up, power and home. For some reason it is now both volume buttons, home and power ..
Just thought I'd share this since your recovery should work after a kernel flash.

I rooted my droid 4 a few months ago when I first got it so I could tether. I removed a couple of programs using titanium backup (blockbuster app and some other bloat). Phone worked fine until monday when the touchscreen stopped working. I did a reboot (power + volume down) whereupon it just sat at the M "Dual Core" logo. I tried booting into the recovery menu but selecting "recovery" didn't do anything - it would just hang.
Last night I was able to get it working again by going into the recovery menu and selecting asp fastboot, then using RSDLite to push a stock Droid 4 ROM onto the phone. However, it didn't wipe my old system, and didnt install over it either because all my files were there, and the programs I removed were still gone. So the phone worked for a few hours then the touchscreen stopped working again.
I repeated the process with RSDLite and after a few failed attempts where the phone would hang while booting, I finally got it to boot into the OS again. And this is where I am at now.
I am pretty sure that the problem is related to the OS that is on the phone now and that I need to wipe the phone and start fresh with either a custom ROM or the stock D4 ROM. The problem is that I can't get recovery to do a factory reset. As I mentioned above, recovery just hangs and doesn't do anything. I am reasonably literate when it comes to this stuff but I get really confused because there are so many different ways that people seem to do this stuff (safestrap, bootstrap, CM( etc). I would love to try CM9 but my priority right now is just to have a phone that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

select recovery by holding the vol buttons and power on boot just like fastboot. press vol - for recovery. when u see dead droid hit both vol up and vol down and theres the recovery
Thanks, I was finally able to get into recovery. Wiped data and did a factory reset which again got stuck at the logo screen. Went back into fastboot and ran RSDlite again to flash the stock ROM which gets me to the "Welcome to Droid4" screen where it says "touch the android to start" but the touchscreen is unresponsive. Starting to think there is something physically wrong with the phone....
send it to motorola, I've heard their customer support is pretty good. but if you voided your warranty by rooting/flashing other roms, I've heard bricking the phone and sending it in works to get a new one too
The only way I can send it back is through an insurance claim so I am trying to save myself $75j if this thing will just work. I just did a reboot and now the touchscreen seems to be working so I am going through the setup process....so weird.
Update: I was able to get the phone to load up and configured my google account etc. It appears that the phone is now running on completely stock installation of OS.....

So it has been a couple days now and the phone works totally fine. It looks like the problem was that by removing whatever bloatware that I did, the phone's OS got borked when VZW pushed an update of some kind. Flashing the stock ROM without doing a factory wipe would temporarily solve the problem but eventually the update would get pushed again and the whole thing would lock up again. The factory wipe + reinstall seems to have been the solution to the problem.
hi all
i ahve not installed a custom rom on my note, but i have rooted it and installed abyss note kernal. everything has been working fine for months and months with this, all of a sudden last night i saw my phone was off, i went to switch it back on and the boot screen just keeps looping and i have no idea why.
I can get into recovery (it says odin mode) and the phone is connected to odin on my PC.
i obviously would like to get the phone working again some how, but if at all possible i would like to keep everything that was on there as i was using the phone as a usb drive to store my college work on and dont want to lose it.
any help would be appreciated

hmmm so what your trying to say is that just right after reflashing to stock GB your phone went into a bootloop after? You didn't have any chance still of restoring your backups did you? it just rebooted right after flashing back to GB?
i didnt flash any rom before, i was just on stock what came on the phone. the boot loop randomly happened last night. i have just now flashed a stock GB rom through download mode and odin.
the boot loop is still happening even after i just flashed a stock rom
did you restored your backups back on your phone? if you did.. try not to.. just observe it for now.. all stock.. no datas at all, turn off your phone(in airplane mode) and see if your still getting the bootloops.... if your still getting it then I'm doubting you may have a corrupted data partition inside your phone.
Mate, if you're on stock GB (NOT STOCK ICS!!!!), then you can safely go into Recovery Mode and full wipe:
- Hold Power + Volume Up + Home button alllll the way until a weird recovery, safe-mode like menu appears
- Navigate using the Volume Keys to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"
- Use Home button as ok and do that
- Navigate to "Reboot System"
And you're done and safe, no worries
i didnt restore any backups as i didnt have any baackups. i cant access the phone at all it just boot loops only. i think it is a corrupted data partition as i have flashed a stock rom and it still boot loops. i dont know how it happened though as i didnt do anything i just pulled it out my pocket and it was turned off, i tried to turn it back on and thats when i got the boot loop

Most Welcome!
Just remember to press thanks!
One more thing... Please make sure you know about recovery and/or download mode, about CWM, stock and custom ROMs + kernels before flashing
It will turn the experience of customizing your Note into something really pleasurable, not a teeth-chattering experience Believe me, I know.
You can check out the stickies in every thread + you can check out some articles either here on XDA or "Android A-Z" that talk about CWM (Clockwork-Mod Recovery), Rooting and that sort of thing.
Best of luck to you!
A couple weeks ago, I upgraded the ClockworkMod Recovery on my Thrill. A few hours ago, I attempted booting into recovery mode. My phone is now stuck attempting to boot into recovery. It's stuck at the LG boot logo and will not progress to recovery or even into the boot animation for a normal boot. I have tried holding the VolDown+3D to manually boot into recovery, I have tried turning it off and back on, I have tried removing the battery for a few minutes, I've tried removing the battery and SIM card for several minutes and there is no change in status.
I'm using an LG Thrill on a stock GB ROM and the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, installed by latest version of ROM Manager (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en)
If any more info is needed, let me know. The computer I'm using is a Macbook Pro.

Try this. Take out the battery, while the battery is out hold down the 3d button, the volume down button and power button. "While" these 3 buttons are pressed insert the battery. You should see the lg logo flash on for a second or two than off. From this point leave the battery in and try to boot into recovery with the three buttons. (It may boot into recovery right away after you reinsert the battery)

Long story short, all's good, everything works. Thanks.
