Not sure if anyone else has had the same issue but I couldn't find anything on it. I installed rooted and then installed Null. Decided to go back to stock. Flashed the stock firmware back on. after first boot I was missing the apps menu, so I rebooted back into recovery mode and let it do its restore thing. Now I have the apps menu back but no notification icon, I get notifications but there's nowhere to go in a preview it. I've tried factory reset, recovery, re-flashing stock rom, nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan
Never mind, figured it out. Had to reset the gear and restart a new profile in gear manager. Seem like it remembered that I never had a notification icon, even though I didn't delete it. Thanks

Last night I power cycled my phone and put it on my charger. When I woke up this morning and looked at my phone there were a ton of force close screens. I have no phone (cannot make calls) and not data.
I power cycled the phone over and over and have been searching the net all day but cannot get it to work. The only thing that I had done prior to the initial power cycle was a few updates from the market, so I uninstalled those apps, but it appears that was not the problem.
I have root access and was running gumbo's rom (now MaDoCo...thought that would help) and I really don't wanna do a factory reset. Is there anything I can do?
Factory reset is most likely gonna be your only option. If you dont wanna do that, do you still have the .zip for your rom on your mem card? If so, why not just reflash the zip? Might take care of the issue without having to do a hard reset. I am assumingm, though, that if you are rooted you would have created a nandroid backup? Why not just restore?
Tried reflashing the rom and that didn't work. Gonna do a Factory reset now. Lets see
tried factory reset and now i'm stuck on boot screen
Did you ever make a Nandroid backup?? I would suggest you run the Sprint RUU and bring your phone back to Stock, reroot, install recovery, and then a custom ROM. That looks like your best option.
But, just for the hell of it -- take out of your battery and then insert it back in and reboot, see if that does anything.
What kind of factory reset did you do? Wipe from recovery, go through setting, the home>back>power one, or what? And are you stuck at the HTC screen? That happened to me once, but it was because I flashed a GSM rom my first try. Boot into recovery, wipe the phone, and if that doenst do it, I agree with pseodo, time to RUU.
Well I tried resetting from the recovery and wiping, but it will not boot up. Then I tried the RUU, but it wont get past the boot screen in order for me to to connect it to the USB. I tried connecting the USB through recovery and although I can access my SD card via my PC, going through the steps for the RUU says its not connected.
I took my phone over to sprint and although they know I have a custom rom on there (which voided my warranty), they are still gonna give me a brand new one and send mine back through manufacture warranty. It'll be in on Tuesday. Luckily for me I have an online back up through by MyBackUpPro, so I should be good on restoring settings, apps, contacts and all other important stuff. (Minus Root and Custom Rom )
Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate it.
I flashed a new set of icons last week and had a bunch of force closes, restored a nandroid and everything was fine.
I installed it yesterday via Kies. after finished, it told me to reboot then I did, When I turned on the phone, it just started as normal with flashing S logo.
10-15 seconds later the screen turned black and the menu and back buttons lights on with a vibration sometimes.
I just cant use 3 buttons to get into any modes or use CMD to get into it. I just bought it last week and never installed any ROMS in it.
Any help, please?
I've had some issues after Kies upgrade... my apps kept crashing and not responding. I think I even had the same problem like you. All I did is a factory reset. Go to Settings -> Privacy and under Personal Data you'll find Factory data reset. Try it. Be carefull before doing a factory reset, try backup your data (phonebook, contacts, messages etc.) Hope it helps
I cant even get into the phone. got stuck at the logo..
the phone will auto reboot... how come you have to reboot it yourself?

So, I used this guide to root and everything went fine no problem. I didn't see the clockwork recovery step and went straight to removing bloatware. Now when I try to backup current rom and goes to blue menu and I have to click reboot. I am a complete beginner and could it be messing up because I did not backup right away? SO, I would like to unroot and try again. I tried searching the forum to unroot and read many things from one click unroot to odin3. I am unsure of which method and if someone can tell me how to get it back to how it was. I just did a factory reset before rooting so I just want it back to that. Pictures, contacts, music is fine to stay as I did a manual backup via mass storage but how can I get the phone back to that state. Thanks and sorry for the long message.
ALSO, WHEN I FACTORY RESET earlier this day it already had quickoffice so, I know the phone did not reset to its original state, but the updated one that is fine. I just want it unrooted and back to how it would be with that factory reset and I will try to root and back up again later. Or if this is not an issue why is it going to the bluescreen after pressing backup current rom in clockwork
When in blue screen click reinstall packages, you will be brought back to the same screen, click reinstall packages again. Enjoy

so should I go to the bluescreen by holding volume + power or through the backup rom step?
thanks again
Did you hit the to option in rom manager to flash clockwork? If so open up rom manager, click backup, it will reboot to blue screen, reinstall packages twice, it will backup

ok so I just clicked backup current rom and it brought me to the blue screen. Instead of pressing reboot system now I should choose reinstall packages
OK I just clicked reinstall packages twice and it brought be to a black screen with green clockwork recovery text. After click reboot now.
DOES this mean that I have backed up the rom? is it stock? and if I had to use it would it have no att bloatware on it. I am a little confused. After seeing this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8507559&postcount=1
I figure I should try it this way. Will I still be able to get to the unrooted factory reset state? Even if it is fine now could you explain how I would do that?
When it went to the green clockwork screen did it run a backup for like 3 minutes? If not you are not backed up yet
Your backup its of your current state, no bloatware rooted, are you looking to find a way to get back to a out of box state?
Do you have a pc our a mac.

I have a PC. Earlier today I did a factory reset, all apps gone but photos, videos, etc still there. I restored my contacts from a different sim card. So, I figure while it is clean I should root. Now I would like to unroot and try again. I am trying to get it back to the state it was earlier not quite a out of box state but a factory reset state if possible, so all att apps, no messages, contacts, etc.
Hello,
I've been rooted for a few months now and have never had any problems. I wanted to use that Milk Music app from Samsung so I followed the instructions and was able to get it working on my phone and have been for awhile. I recently decided it would be a good idea to change the build.prop file back to its original state, so I copied and pasted it in using Root Browser. (I had made a backup file stored elsewhere). Once I did that I rebooted my phone for the changes to take effect. After I did that I cannot get my phone to turn back on. It displays the LG animated logo screen and then goes completely black. The light on top of the phone radiates blue/green. I've read through several forums about this issue and have tried everything in order to get it to work and for some reason, using my computer and ADB always gives me an error: device not found. I have installed the drivers and everything. Anyone else run in to this problem before? I would really appreciate it.
If you are on stock rom, just rooted. I would think you should be able to factory reset through stock recovery.
Confirm the process but i think you power completely off. Then hold volume down and power at the same time when you see the lg logo release both buttons then press both buttons and hold them.
Should take you to factory reset.
Not 100% certain but this will probably be your next step if you can't get a computer to see it.
Good luck

The factory data reset didn't really change anything. For some reason I cannot boot into recovery mode either. I can put it in download mode though, but my computer still has a problem recognizing it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you can get into dl mode then you should be able to return it to stock which should reset everything. Returning to stock has its own downside but at least you'll be up and running again.
Let me just start by saying that I really don't know what I'm doing. There was a lot of bloatware on this phone that I wanted to remove and apparently the only way to remove it was to root. I downloaded kingroot and after deleting some apps I rebooted my phone but it did not go past the blu loading page. I then figured out how to get into recovery mode where I reset to factory and cleared cache and tried rebooting. This time I got past the blu loading screen and into phone setup however as soon I click the final next it brings me back to the blu screen. Anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?
