Something similar to this happened to me, and a hard reset wouldn't work. I had to send it back to AT&T. Sorry man, hope you have better luck than I did.

have you tried a hard reset, press down 2 softkeys and stick in reset button and release before letting go of the 2 soft keys. then follow on screen instructions ?
more info needed though ie can you access the bootloader, have you previously put a hard spl on your phone and if so which version.
god reading here on how to get phone back up and working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423486 and here too
i have the version from att
Ok now I got it to stop restarting but now its stuck

From your response I'd say your best option if a hard reset does not work would be to see if you can access the bootloader screen ( press camera button and soft reset ) it looks like three colours on your phone. If you can then download an original rom for your phone and follow the instructions to place it on your phone.
Anyone have any better idea's
back in an hour let me know how you got on
That's the only conceivable idea probably. After you go into bootloader mode, flash the stock ROM and then if you have hardspl, install the custom ROM that you prefer.
Well i guess i can kiss all my #'s goodbye...you know what.....I think I want a custom rom...anyknow know where i can go to get a good one

You should always have your PIM either backed up or on your SIM.
Look in my sig for your request.

Dont go custom yet mate, try a stock rom and get it up and running first. Then take your time to read about soft / hard spl's and radios etc before diving in with a full custom rom. Believe me its worth it to understand everything first
AND READ THIS FIRST http://sakajati.com/forum/index.php/topic,3.0/prev_next,next.html#new
Thank you guys for your help....I downloaded the att rom from the htc website and i got my tilt running like new.....and I got all my #'s back ...looks like outlook does a good job hehehe

DOWNLOAD timemachine.cab, go back a few days, and don't make the same mistake.
Why do we get so many lame, I broke my XXXX because I'm a dolt, and expect the world have some magic panacea.
It really pisses me..
Sorry rant over.
Maybe I just hate kids, now where did I leave that gun....
I'm a complete noob in dire need of help. I wanted to root my phone, and read the 3 procedures mentioned in the sticky thread. The 2nd one (nvflash) seemed very well explained and was sure to work with 2.3.4 so I decided to use that. As I was in my friend's house I used his pc and installed the drivers while my phone was connected in apx mode. Then I double clicked the "install internal xp" batch file which resulted in a black window with some texts, but seeing this my friend freaked out and closed the window before the process was finished. I told him he shouldn't have done that. I then disconnected the phone and switched it on. It seemed to switch on properly. So I then switched it off again and pressed and held the power and vol down switches to see if I got cwm. This showed LG screen for a few seconds and then the screen went off.
Now whatever I try to do I can only see the LG screen for a few seconds and then the screens goes off. No power on, no recovery, no nothing. And I can only attempt to even power on once, after the screen goes off I must remove the battery before the power button does anything again.
I tried to freshly nvflashing the recovery many times, but it made no difference. Does this mean my phone is bricked? Please tell me how I can solve this as I'm really worried.
NVFlashing the recovery again *should* have worked. So we first need to make sure you're trying to start CWM the correct way.
1) Unplug phone
2) Remove battery for 10 seconds.
3) Insert battery
4) Hold volume-down, do not let go, keep pressing it.
5) Press power button, keep it pressed.
If/when you get the second LG-logo, bluish halo, you can release both buttons, not before.
Nope, that was exactly what I was doing to access the recovery. I tried it again just now and it didn't work.
It just displayed the regular LG logo and then the screen went off. I'm not sure the phone completely shuts down 'cause if I keep it like that it gets quite hot and I can't use the power button again to try to power up. Only removing and re-inserting the battery gives me another attempt.
Is there any chance this is a hardware issue?
Hardly any chance this is hardware related if it was working before the first NVFlash.
Good, next step will be to NVFlash a complete stock ROM. You will unfortunately lose any data you might have on it, but that's the price to pay.
Go here, follow the instructions precisely, skip installation of apx-driver. Report back.

Ok, so I just download the 200mb file, connect in apx mode and double click flash.bat, right? And will this rom work regardless of country/region? I'm from India and was running stock 2.3.4 with v20* (can't remember the letter. God, I hate myself).

It works, yes, but is the original Froyo. This is just a way to get the phone up and running again.
Later you have a few choices. Either install CWM, then install you ROM of choice, or upgrade it to the latest for your region by using the LG Update tool.
EDIT. Oh, and btw, it is better to open a command-window and type the flash.bat command. If there are any errors you will still have them on-screen.
Thank you for all the help and support. I didn't get a chance to flash the rom till now (being on a vacation without a smartphone sucks). But I'll try it asap and report back.
So, how did it go?

I haven't flashed it yet. I've decided to do it after I return home. I'm at my friend's house for 2 more days.
Ok, bad news. I flashed the stock rom you linked. The process went pretty smoothly. After the window got closed and the lg logo on the phone was visible 2 times, I unplugged it and installed the battery. But switching it on wasn't fruitful. It just displayed the LG logo for a couple of seconds and then the screen went off (just like before, only faster). I tried repeating the whole process, even tried to nvflash cwm once again, but nothing happened.
So is it a hardware issue? My phone is no longer in warranty period, so a hardware problem would be really bad...

I don't know.
What would be helpful is to get a copy of the output you get when you NVFlash, it's simply the only way to verify that the flash process went ok. If you have an aborted flash it of course won't work, and may display the behaviour you describe.
EDIT: Btw, early on there were some ROMs which refused to boot properly unless the baseband was of an early variety as well.
If you feel confident the NVFlash has been successfull, smartflash an old baseband as well, see if it boots then.
Its hardly a hardware problem. As you dont have the warranty anymore, and the bootloader is probably corrupted, i would recommend a Jtag service.
Please, dont be afraid of hitting thanks

Now what's this "Jtag service"? (edit- I googled it and it seems to be a method of un-bricking stuff with specialized hardware or something, but I'm not sure I can have that done where I live)
Is there any way to fix the bootloader by myself?
@Trym- So, I should download a v10 baseband and flash it with this "smartflash" tool, right?

Yeah, as a last-ditch effort. I haven't the slightest hope it'll help, but it can't hurt to try.

So do you know anything about this corrupted bootloader thing? Does this mean my phone's hard bricked?

If it is you're only the second person in this forum to ever brick his phone. Anything's possible I guess. Some flash cells may have been damaged the first time the power was yanked. But then we should presumably get some verification errors during flashing.
Anyway, I'm at my wits end, and I really do hope you get it up and running, but I don't have anything more to contribute. Good luck.
Corrupted bootloader means that your cellphone simply don't know what to do when you hit the power button, due to the damage. As the cell phone can't turn, the pc can't recognize it. If your cell phone were a samsung, you could try to use a jig to have acesso to the download mode. But I don't know if it would work for a LG. You could try anyway.
And if you live at big city, usually it's common to have some jtag services.

Ok, so I took the phone to the service center today. The guys there said its battery terminals are messed up. They said replacement terminals are not easily available, but they'll try to find some. And of course I'll have to pay for it. I guess it's still better than using the phone as a paperweight.
What do you guys think?
Good luck I managed to mess up my phone like you too. I'm from India. But the difference was that I was covered by warranty. I managed to get a bunch of hardware replaced and was up and running again.
Hello, Sometimes when i turn off my screen on my Incredible s or even let it go out on its own, When i try to turn the screen back on with the power button the back light is lit but there is no image on the screen, I can still answer an incoming call , the touchscreen still works while this has happened, and it seems the only way to get the screen to come back on is to put the phone on charge for 10 or more minutes, even restarting the phone doesn't help. I have a rooted phone with s-off and stock firmware. How can i fix this?
can anyone help?

Try a different ROM if required. Check the development section for ROM's.
Probably that might either solve or you will get an idea if that's something to do with the ROM.

Tried flashing a custom rom, the problem is still there, going to take the phone apart and see if i can see any obvious problems there, anyone got any suggestions or anything to look for inside the phone?
May be this is a ROM issue, or you have forgotten to clear cashe / dalvik cashe?
Try to install different ROM for ex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2519414
Change your ROM on more current
Hey guys, I have an old Optimus 4X HD and when i found it i decided to power it up again. However, it wouldnt power on! I thought that it might be out of battery and hence i plugged it in, only to find the keys flash lightly once and die again. Before this, it was stuck in a bootloop which i had no time to fix. Any suggestions?

Please read your own Post carefully.
Because it says, you want to have suggestions for something, you just didn't have time for (which implies that you know how to deal with it).
So if you would've used your brain, you would've written "it was stuck in a bootloop which i don't know how to fix" instead of "it was stuck in a bootloop which i had no time to fix", otherwise we don't know how to help you. Do you even get what I'm saying?
Assumed you don't know how to fix a bootloop, why don't you use ur brain and search for a tutorial like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
There are lots of pictures which will help you to understand it even without reading carefully. :good: But be aware of having time
Hey XDA folks. Ever since I updated to MIUI 14 the problem mentioned in the title happens. I swept the internet but couldn't find anything that actually worked except for a data wipe from the recovery menu. I got the problem solved (or so I thought) and spent a long time reinstalling everything. After another restart just now however the stupid black screen is back. My question is whether anyone here knows a working solution and if not please let me know how I can downgrade back to MIUI 13 without voiding my warranty. Many thanks in advance.

Are you unlocked? If yes, then you can ROM. I don't believe there is an effective downgrade in stock MIUI, but I could be wrong.
