So I did a factory reset on my gf's phone cause it was running like crap. I ran into the issue where it would boot directly into Clockwork Recovery. I found the exit recovery.zip and flashed it and that works fine. However the phone doesn't boot after the LG screen. Just sits on a black screen.
I tried flashing a couple roms... I can get the phone to boot.. But I run into an issue where it gets stuck on activating sim card for awhile... then states power down phone and insert sim card.
Again this isn't my phone so I'm in deep ****... lol.. any help would be awesome.

Sounds like she was still on froyo and you flashed a gingerbread rom.

Would it just be as simple as flashing a froyo rom?
More than likely but I would use the backup zv4 posted by the cubed

So that fixed the sim card issue. However the phone now just constantly reboots over and over. You get about 30 seconds loaded in... And it just turns off and back on again.. Any suggestions?

Hey guys,
I recently got a new phone so haven't been using my milestone anymore and a friend offered to buy it from me.
So I of course was going to flash a stock sbf back on for him, i chose to flash 2.2.1.
I immediately ran into problems.
First off it worked fine, rsd (ver 5.3.1) gave me a pass, i disconnected the phone and rebooted, the android logo shows up and all is joyful in the world.
This is where the problems arise...
I rebooted into recovery to do a full wipe, and a cache and dalvik wipe, then i rebooted once more.
Instead of rebooting normally the phone now just goes immediately to bootloader.
No matter what i try it jsut alays goes back to bootloader straight away. there is no error message it just says ok to program blah blah like normal.
i've since flashed all the different bootloaders, the vulnerable recovery, every single moto sbf i could find, i even tried removing the volume buttons and keyboard to make sure the buttons weren't broken and automatically taking me there due to a short.
no luck.
did i kill this milestone? seriously, any ideas would be appreciated because i am totally stumped now.
Cheers.
Please someone help. I still havent gotten any further with this.

Did you try restoring a stock nandroid, that is if you can enter recovery mode.

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...

Hope on IRC I'll see if I can help
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!
Okay I recently rooted my phone like 2 or 3 months ago and then I flashed it to rom liberty 3 and it worked perfectly for about 2 months. I really don't do anything else to my phone and now my phone loses service all the time and a half black screen will flash saying something like BP core mode trying to open usb. It will flash for a couple minutes then it will turn off then when the phone is set it will say insert AIM card but card is in securely. What is the problem.

Completely incorrect section.
But, this is what I would do:
Wipe data/factory reset.
Format /system
Wipe cache/delvik
Reflash your ROM.
Still didn't work phone still messing up. I even used the Verizon one click unbrick method

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)

I tried this several times to no avail. No change. The LG logo flashed on and off, but when I tried to boot back into recovery, it didn't boot into recovery. I tried doing it again, then booting normally and still no change.
You may want to try and use the lg flash tool. I had a lot of trouble with the new recovery. Had to revert to on older version.

Sorry never mind i see now u can not get it to boot. You may just have to use the lg flash tool and go back to stock gb. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540163
I had this issue one time also. Go to terminal emulator and type su. See if super user ask to grant permission. If no you may have lost your root. Try and re-root the thing with the Megatron root and reinstall cwm from ROM manger.

Finally got my phone working again. I had to borrow someone else's computer to do it, but hey, at least I have my phone back. I'd rather not reinstall CWM from ROM Manager, because it installs only the latest version which is exactly what bricked my phone to begin with.
Long story short, all's good, everything works. Thanks.
i have the same problem
