[Q] Phone stuck on boot loop - LG Optimus 2x

Hello all, I would like to ask, if the phone is stuck on bootloop on the lg logo, should i just flash another rom through cwm. I was using cm7 before and then i thought of using some modded stock rom. So when i flashed it bootlooped for several minutes. Now my phone is working after flashing the latest kang. Is that the correct thing to do? thx

If you flash a Stock ROM coming from a CM7 ROM it is recomended to do a wipe before flashing, and vice versa, or else it will get stuck on boot loop.

I have to add: that happens due to the different file system. Cm7 uses ext3 I believe and stock roms something else.

Try restoring it to stock using odin. Use the full package when flashing with odin.
I dont remember how many files there should be, someone back me up!
Havent used odin for quite some time now...
Yes, i installed with ODIN. And i tried many time to re-install again.
I don't really understand, where does your phone stuck?
Did you try flashing another Stock ROM other than that one?
Say me your country, and I'll search a Original Stock ROM for you, and a guide to flash it with ODIN, maybe you are doing something wrong Don't worry too much, your phone isn't fully bricked yet if it boots...

Flashing CM9 From Stock i9000

Hi
After using CM9 for some time, I decided to upgrade to the new stable release. I am not sure what happened, but the flash was unsuccessful. Using ODIN I restored my phone back to stock.
When I try to install CM9 I now end up in a recovery loop, where the phone will only boot into recovery.
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?
Many thanks
Harry

Do you install cm9 through cwm recovery?

Yes I did, using the CWM that comes with the speedmod kernel. The CWM that the phone boots to after this, however, is an updated one, I assume the one that comes with CM9. From here I have tried reflashing CM9 but still have the recovery bootloop
Harry
Hey
Is your phone rooted??
and try flashing the rom twice..
Hi
It has Cwm but I didn't root before flashing. Thought it didn't make a difference?
I have tried flashing twice, still has me booting into recovery

For installing CM9 your phones needs to be on 2.3.6 and rooted...click here for my guide...
After I follow your guide will I have cwm and do i then just flash as usual?
Harry
Yup..
After rooting 2.3.6 you can follow the regular steps for CM9...

Ok I have upgraded, then when I try to flash CM9 it starts the process then quickly enters a bootloop where I get to the cyanogenmod kernel screen. I know I need to flash twice but I cannot see how to do so?
Thanks
Harry
Hey
Remove the battery...put it back after atleast 10 sec..then boot into recovery using 3 Button Combo...then flash the rom again...
This time it'll take a few min..then it'll re-boot itself..
Enjoy..
Got it all working perfectly now, thank you so much

[Q] Stuck at kernel logo. Nothing is working.

Good afternoon,
I'm sorry i'm creating a new thread about an old subject, but i just can't get my X8 to work with custom kernel+rom. I've searched the forum for the same issue but none of the solutions described worked. Until this moment i had to use PCC to flash my smartphone back to normal about 10 times and it's starting to get very annoying. I've followed the devs instructions on all procedures thoroughly, rooting, bootlader unlock, flashing kernel and installing ROM, and it always gets stuck on the kernel logo wether is it before or after flashing the rom (unless i press the back button). To this moment, i've tried nAa-14 and alfs v09 kernel, GingerDX and Zaraki roms, followed guides step by step. I'm a newbie in the smartphones area but not when it comes to computers. Throughout my 'voyage' i had a number of bumps i had to overcome, like having the installation aborted (bad) error when trying to install a rom, which i solved by downloading the zip directly to the SDcard like described here in the forums. GGdrivers are installed, and so are the SE USB drivers, phone is recognized by PCC with no problems.
I honestly have no idea what might be wrong, and as i said, i've done a search before creating a new thread but nothing helped, or maybe i'm just missing a tiny detail. I would really like the help since this is my first smartphone and i would like to play with my new toy!
Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.
EDIT: I forgot something. In the kernel installation guide is requested that after flashing it, to check in the phone settings if everything is ok. I can't even boot the phone after flashing the kernel (gets stuck on kernel logo) which means my problem is related to something previous to it? Maybe bootlock? I'm pretty sure i'm doing what's required.
Appreciate the fast answer.
I get stuck on the logo wether is it before or after flashing the rom. The only way i don't get stuck is to press the back button to boot into cwm.
Yes i've tried to wipe after and before, and it didn't work. And these were the only roms and kernels i've tried.
There's no problem with hardbricking my device by the way, 11w03.
I'll have to get out for a while, but i will come back later to check all the answers, this is a priority for me at the moment

Don't full wipe two times,either before or after,you can see this at the rom thread.
One basic detail that many forget is that you must have baseband that lasts to 15,so it would be like this xxx015

I didnt full wipe when trying gingerdx, as you said its not requested, only wiped with zaraki. I can confirm my baseband is xxxx015.

You have to full wipe,don't full wipe two times,gingerdx needs full wipe before installing the rom....
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
I tried again using the correct wiping method for gingerdx and it still freezes on kernel logo. the weird thing is that it freezes the first time it boots after flashing the kernel, meaning it has nothing to do with the rom, right? and maybe even not related to the kernel itself. i'm completely clueless about this, i wish i had a friend who could do it for me, because i can't detect anything done wrong.
What version of cwm are you using?
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
i'm not quite sure what's the version of cwm since it installs itself along with nAa-14 kernel, but i think it was v5.0.2.8

please don't destroy my hopes of having a working custom rom on my phone jokes aside, i get your point, but doesn't it seem not logical that i'm the only one who can't get it to work? it's weird enough i can't boot my phone after flashing the kernel....
i could post a video, sure, but it's pretty straightforward. after i flash the kernel, unplug the phone from PC and boot it up, IF i don't boot into cwm, it will freeze on the kernel logo, making it impossible to even check the phone settings as requested in gingerdx thread. AFTER i install the rom and reboot the phone, it will still show the kernel logo and freeze again (if i understand correctly this is not supposed to happen, what's supposed to show on the screen after the rom is installed are the normal SE logos.)
So, summing up. Flash kernel, turn phone on, freezes on kernel logo if i don't use back button to go into cwm. If i enter cwm, install rom from sdcard, reboot, it shows the kernel logo and freezes if i don't use back button again.
Don't know if it helps but the only way to turn the phone off when it freezes is removing the battery. Sometimes after placing the battery again it will automatically turn on.
Dunno what's wrong,why don't you try with stock kernel and gdx,or why don't you try different rom(yea neither gdx nor gzr)
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
you mean formatting partitions after flashing the kernel or before? i assume there's an option for it under cwm?

sure i can try other roms, but the fact that it freezes before installing the rom seems to point towards another problem?
the phone was bought in 2nd hand by the way, maybe there's something that could have happen before it got to me?
You have to format the partitions after flashing the kernel. In CWM recovery, go to 'mounts and storage' and format all the partitions except /sdcard.

Try to format all of the partitions (yes, ALL of them), then install ROM again.
After installation turn off the phone, take out the card, then turn phone on.
I hope it will work.

Just did it and the same thing happened. Flashed nAa-14, booted into cwm, full wipe, full cache wipe, wiped all the partitions but sdcard, installed rom, rebooted and it froze on the logo. Tried again with removing the sdcard and turning the phone on, froze on logo. Flashing it back to stock using PCC atm
By the way, it didn't let me format sd/ext.
Have you tryed with older version of naa? Naa 14 is buggy, naa 11 is the best

Try some other roms like minicm7. Do it in this order
Flash the kernel
Boot to cwm
Format system,data,cache
Fullwipe/Factory reset
Install Rom
Reboot
....wait .....
I do this every time i install a new rom..
Make sure The rom you have downloaded belongs to x8..

I will do that right away. I will also download a few others roms (and respective kernels) and try them all out. Only one thing, I was going to download MiniCM10 and i saw this in its post: "MiniCM10 is an unofficial port of CyanogenMod 10 for the SEMC msm7x27 devices." What does it mean 'for the SEMC msm7x27 devices'? Is it related to bootload unlock? Because i get Setool2 Certificate instead of SEMC. Does this make my problem a little easier?
EDIT: Ok, i've just tried ICZaraki+nAa-04-ics, minicm10+nAa-jb, gingerdx/gingerzaraki+nAa 11, and guess what, none worked.... We have to start thinking this is not related with the kernel or rom maybe? Any suggestions? When i tried the nAa-11 kernel, when i booted up the phone a white led popped up instead of a green one. I'm not worried if this takes a whole month to fix, i'm up for any suggestions and ideas of any kind, just throw them at me.

Yep, happens with all the kernels i've used, nAa-11/14, nAa JB, ICS, etc....
Googled logcat, i understand its use, but how do you want me to use it?
Yes, bootload is unlocked, i have the "r". Or is there any chance that even with the "r" it's still locked? Anyway, i followed the guides with no problem.

[Q] Please help, need to flash kernel I think

Hi
I'm having a few problems with my trusty Galaxy S.
I tried to update to Cyanogen 10, got it installed through Clockwork mod no probs. I had a few problems with it , thought I'd try 9 as my friend gets on great with that.
It hasn't successfully flashed though. It's stuck in a loop where it enters Clockwork, then crashes back to the loading screen. I haven't done much of this for ages so guess I got careless and made an error somewhere.
I assume I need to flash through Odin now as I can still get to download mode, but not recovery. I don't know which kernel to get and use though? no idea what will work and don't want to brick my phone. I'd just like a working kernel that so I can put Cyanogen on again. Any advice is appreciated thanks.

Thanks that worked just fine. Nearly bricked the phone using someone's restore to stock guide. But now this kernel has installed fine.
Unfortunately I am trying to flash cm10, it installs fine, but it just loads back up into recovery mode, and wont boot properly.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get out of this CWM recovery boot-loop I'm stuck in?
The Semaphore Kernel is just stuck for me.
