Phone shuts down after reboot - LG Optimus 4X HD

I have been experiencing this for a while: after rebooting my phone, the exact momment it finishes booting up, it starts shutting down, no matter what custom ROM I have flashed, so it makes me believe it's not ROM related, but related to the bootloader or something like that. after banging my head against the wall for so long I couldn't find any solution, so I'd like to know what's your opinion about it.
Edit: forgot to mention I've tried all the routine methods, cleaning dalvik/cache, wiping system, data and even internal storage without any success, that's why I believe it is bootloader related, but I'm no expert so... If this issue has been addressed here please show me where as I've become empty handed

i have seen this happening only when the custom kernel is not compatible with the rom installed. the bootloader has nothing to do. we just unlock it to install a different recovery image that help us install any kernel and any rom

I'm using the CM10.1.3 right now with its stock kernel and it still happens... It annoys me so freaking much

Maybe you should reflash the .kdz file to be completely stock. If this problem still occurs, it's definitely nor ROM related.

....... the .kdz is used to flash stock LG's rom. when he sais stock kernel with cm 10.1.3 , he means , the cyanogenmod 10.1.3 as it is.

Safestrap & stock ROM issues?

While I'm thinking about it, I wanted to ask a question. I had to revert back to the stock ROM, and went to re-add root and Safestrap 2.10. All went well with the install, but when I went to enable the Safe System, and I rebooted, the phone did the POST (Motorola symbol), got to the SafeStrap splash, then the screen went blank. None of the keys would do anything, and the only way I could make anything happen, was to pull the battery. I had to go back into Safestrap, and disable it again. Anyone else experience this?

Did you flash something in safe mode before rebooting?

No, just enabled it, allowed it to do it's backup, then rebooted. Thought for sure I was going to have to reload SBF again.

The first time you enable safe mode you need to flash a rom. You tried to boot... Nothing, thus the black screen

Ahh.. that makes sense. Do we have any idea when a more stable ROM is coming out for the D3?

All gb roms are stable. It's just ics that has issues, however the kexec cm9 currently in alpha will be stable, likely in the next few weeks

The kexec ICS from 8/6 is surprising stable for me. I've been running it for nearly a week and while I've had some reboots and a couple of freezes that required a battery pull, it's run better than I expected.
I have had the problem with leaving bluetooth on and answering a call without a headset - no audio until BT turned off.
Also, as advertised, no camera. Another note, the car dock USB audio doesn't work.
I've even scripted a mount to keep the Play Music directory on the external SD card and mass storage mount on the computer works better than stock with the mount in place. Internal sd doesn't mount though.

The I9000UKG3 is your modem(baseband), not your ROM (firmware), so don't worry about that. As long as you have signal, you're fine.
Before flashing a Jb ROM, do you factory reset, clear cache/dalvik? Is the screen problem right at the start? Do you restore your apps?
Do you have the I9000 bootloaders or the I897 bootloaders?
Hoy do i now what bootloaders i have ?

Ok, We'll start from the beginning then, You can get in download mode right?
Grab Odin KK4 without bootloaders, Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and put the ROM (and Gapps) you wanna flash in the root of your internal SD. Flash KK4, boot up and make sure everything is fine. Once that's done, get back in download and flash Corn kernel.
From there, you can flash the ROM and the Gapps that go with it.
I believe you went through those steps already but hopefully we can find what's wrong by re-trying/reproducing the problem. Oh and don't restore any apps before trying it.
If that doesn't work, I'm thinking you might have the wrong Gapps or wrong bootloaders but first time I hear of a screen that doesn't work on JB but does on GB.
EDIT:
I just went through the thread to see that you already have KK4 and Corn on your phone. You don't need DesignGear to root, you can go in Corn's recovery to root your phone. Now, after re-reading, you said that sometimes it's iresponsive, what exactly do you mean by that? it takes a while to register your touch? locks up and you get no response for a few seconds?
Usually that's from lack of free ram. So a app sucking it all up. Have you tried JB (with the right Gapps) without restoring your apps?
PS.: You shouldn't restore your app with TiBu coming from GB, you can restore their data but should fresh download the apps from the market.

Sounds good. Quite often you don't need to fix permission, I never had to do it.
If screen fails again, I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue.

Usually when you boot the phone, it shows SGH-897 but it doesn't matter, I could be wrong.
As for the hardware issue, just like some Sleep of Death (SoD) issue, it's something that a software can't fix, it's something broken within the phone (hardware). I don't know if it's the case here but it's always a possibility, especially if the phone was dropped before, the screen connector might need to be pushed back into place.

You can get Odin KK4 with bootloaders. There's a risk of bricking your phone when you flash bootloaders though. There are needed to be on ROMs that are GB and up but I think you already have them.
As for the hardware thing, like I mentioned before, it could be like SoDs, where the phone will randomly shut off when you're using a ISC/JB ROM.

[Q] I957 ATT , touch screen not working after ICS upgrade

Hello,
I have gotten the stock ICS rom from samfirmware.com, Installed using ODIN and it all went green.
However, after restart the touch screen is not working !
I have tried the following:
1. First the Default (XXX) ICS rom
2. Second, the Actual ATT ICS rom
3. Flashed CWM and it is working
4. Then tried AOKP unofficial rom, not starting
No luck so far, any help is much appreciated please.
The touch screen was working after step 3?

It is the Odin version I have used,
One more note now, am not sure if that is normal if not.but after the latest flash ( preceded by a data wipe and format ) I can now see zip file I have placed on sdcard but can't access them for flashing and/or ad new zip files from pc
In cwm do a factory reset, wipe and format system and data and then boot. I'm hoping that will solve the problem.

Tried,booted, "SAMASUNG"screen only ( as expected sicne i formatted the system ), then re-flushed the ATT ICS and same output
Am trying to get a new ROM flashed, but when the device powers up [ without me going through the wizard ], i can't write anything to SD from my PC.
Any info around here about flashing CM or AOKP using ODIN for this I957 ?
Not with Odin that I'm aware of. All are zip files and would go thru cwm. If you get only to the Samsung logo, my experience has been a factory reset usually gets you past that and if that doesn't work flashing the stock rom with Odin does. And I'd flash the honeycomb rom and bring it back to they way I bought it, then upgrade to ics

I should mention something that has gotten me worried, i flashed a TWRP recovery to check if the touch would work there, but it didn't.
Not sure if i should be worried about HW now, or try another TWRP for instance? Or perhaps TWRP shares another flawed tab wide configuration with the Android image ?
It's not twrp, I use it on my tab and it Works fine. If you were the only one who has this problem I'd say hardware for sure. But at least one other person has the same problem after updating to ics. It seems like there something with the firmware interfacing with the touch screen.

Think the other colleague did say he found someone elsewhere who resolved the problem by reverting to an older backup he had, which gives me hope that this is no hw issue
And this was my first time to flash any ROM without a backup first, thought a stock update would be fine !!
Can I use adb for instance to verify if it was a hardware issue,if so then any help is appreciated

Can I use adb for instance to verify if it was a hardware issue,if so then any help is appreciated

Epinter's CM10 on ICS + JB (Lateral Flash from RAZRHD ROM)

I was simply curious and discovered that this RAZR HD ROM works (almost perfectly!) on my AHD running ICS. I assume this should fully work for JB, because it's made for that kernel. So if you're on JB, please try it and let us know.

Developers/Coders: How do we get the sensors working on ICS?? I've tried like mad to replace with stock-ics drivers, but I really don't know what I'm doing
Enjoy the pull-down toggles & customizable soft-keys!!
[edit: attached my screenshots; everything seems to work on ICS except the sensors & gps]
no go on JB 4.1.1, stuck in boot animation for 10mins twice.

What do you mean by almost perfectly... what was and was not working? Im still running on ICS and would love to get cm10 on my device.
JB 4.1.1 it boots for me but I get Encryption Unsuccessful. No go.

I can get the JB rom to boot, but i get a message about phone not successfully encrypted and requires a reset, wiping data now to see if it will work.

Can you try deleting slot1 from Boot Options and creating a new one from scratch, wipe, then re-flash (and cross your fingers).

Is this the error message you guys are talking about? Also are you flashing to a freshly wiped (cache, dalvik, sys, factory data) slot or over an existing rom (i.e. dirty and not recommended)?

If that's the bug then there is a fix for it, but I didn't encounter that at all on ics.
Clean flash. I have already seen that guide but we don't have partitioning in SS.

Damn this encryption bug. I did not see that coming due to simply being on JB.
I saw another thread say that removing the microsd and rebooting a couple of times might get you past the error message. This isn't ideal and reinserting would probably bring it back, but if it works we could then determine if all the sensors work on JB.
Nothing works on my side either I tried reboots w/o SD and tried booting off another ROM and then installing no-go

Yeah that solution seems impractical. I think a simpler solution would be to work around the internal "sdcard." I'd remove anything that involves mounting/reading that area (/data/media) and see if it boots up then. I took a look at Batakang's init files and I noticed that his omit the /storage lines that this CM10 includes.
But my first priorities are these two cpa exams on the 14th and 28th. I've been wasting too much time on this new phone :/

Just a question how is everything going so far guys? Keep up the good work

This boots up just fine. The ROM creator himself says it can be flashed with Safestrap: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993888
The issue is getting past the "Encryption Unsuccessful" message for those on JB. From what I've read it's because the internal sdcard cannot fully read. (Maybe a factory reset & SD wipe via stock would help by erasing any encrypted data?)

No. Its because we use a bootstrap recovery. I don't think its SS compatible because the Encryption Unsuccessful error only happens because of the incompatibility.

Please Help with Motorola!

Hi.
Am using Motorola Milestone (A853) running on Cyanogenmod 7.
Am having a telephony problem since few days and my mobile frequently is having this error and asking for a reboot. Error image is attached below.
I have installed Vulnerable recovery, Open recovery (2nd boot).
When I had this problem, I reinstalled open recovery, wiped dalvic cache, external partition cache but still am getting this error.
Please help me to fix this.
Thank you.

Most of the time it is caused by having the 2.1 BPSW (baseband processor software) instead of the 2.2
I recommend flashing these two files (bpsw and devtree) just to be sure.
Good luck.
I have applied the updates you mentioned. Will check if my mobile if i gives or not the error again. Will post if it is fixed.
Thank you.

After flashing those files i didn't had problems for two days. But am again getting the same error. How do I solve it??

Sorry, but I don't have any more information regarding this problem.
( I know this problem occured even with the stock roms, but they rebooted the phone immediately and all unsaved data lost. )

I think you have installed CM 9.1 in your Milestone!
Can you please give me a feedback about the performance and usage of milestone on CM 9.1!
Thank you
It works great. I'm not saying it is as speedy as on a newer phone, but most of the time its okay. If it slows down, I just restart the phone and the problem is solved.
I recommend you to try it out for yourself. I also recommend to change the stock launcher.
