So I was just screwing around with my fonts folder(under system) and I replaced my custom font file for Roboto-Normal.ttf with the original Roboto font and when I rebooted my phone it got stuck on the LG logo and wouldn't advance after that. I also noticed while it was stuck on the LG logo if I hit any buttons in any combinations the phone would vibrate randomly. My phone is rooted with debugging on.

Maybe the font was not compatible for your phone,If it was compatible for you it should apply and you should see it immeadiately,Rebooting is not required.
Try to connect the computer and Use the LG R&D Tool to flash the ROM.

No I wasn't using a custom font installer I was just putting a different font into the system root fonts folder and that ended up slowing down the phone so I restarted it and now its bootlooping.

That's Because the font was written bad or the system cant render it because wrong format,that's why ended up slowing.
Turn off your phone,Hold Volume + And Plug it into USB.AndUse the LG Mobile Support Tool,Select CS_Emergency Mode and Flash...
Or if you could get into the phone into safemode,Fix it by replacing other font into the file.
That's only 2 way to fix your phone.

When I hold down volume up and power it just goes into the logo and if I continue to hold it it vibrates then immediately shuts off. Ive tried before to enter recovery mode on this phone but I think LG blocked it.

Perform a factory reset. See this thread Q14.
I had a very similar problem that stemmed from trying to install a new font. When I tried a hard key factory reset, it did nothing to fix the bootloop. Rather, I think it made the phone impossible to reach with ADB by resetting the "debugging mode" setting along with everything else. My advice to you, though I haven't actually tried this because of the above problem, is to try to access your phone through ADB.
If that doesn't work, what I ended up doing was sending my phone to an LG service facility with a note attached detailing the problem and cause. They were able to restore it, despite it being rooted.
Update
Ok so I left my phone out unplugged for about and hour on the logo and it popped on so Im trying the same thing again but with the sim card in and if it works Im going to see if I can make the thing load faster by updating the permissions on the font file or using a font installer all together.

Still stuck in bootloop no other activity since restarting and puting in sim, I also about two hours ago took out the sim and restarted
similar problem
i was messing with the app chainfire 3d was prompted to install a graphics driver which and gave me a warning that it might brick my phone if it was not compatible so i said what the hell and proceeded now im stuck at lg logo with no clue on how to get it back to normal i am currently trying lg mobile support tool which seems to only stay at 10% been at it for about 15 min now not sure if just copying files or what im clueless on what to do im running rooted d415 stock rom my phone is on download mode right now
Same problem, different cause
I was installing an update to CM. In the recovery it said something about symlinks failed. I restarted, and now phone will get past the LG logo, but black screen. I can't access recovery either. In adb, I see the device, but it is unauthorized, and I obviously have no way to authorize it. Any way to fix this without sending it back?
Thanks in advance
Fixed it
I found a way to recover, but you must have a custom recovery.
Use the button shortcut for force reset. It will take you to recovery. From there you can restore or reinstall a rom.

Hi everybody. I have this problem.
- I installed a bunch of apps I wanted to try which I downloaded from an APK forum, mostly games and stuff like that. Nothing which could make any big changes to the phone.
- After some use the notification bar and the home, return and menu buttons disappeared from the screen. Then the phone restarted by itself. After it happened again I uninstalled some apps to see what happened.
- After some use the screen went black and couldn't do anything. I tried restarting the phone manually with the power and volume down buttons. The phone tried to restart but I got stuck at the red logo.
- I tried going to the AP Fastboot recovery option and wiping the cache and the phone still didn't work. I tried the factory reset and then reboot and the phone keeps getting stuck at the red logo.
Should I try reinstalling the system with RSD Lite? If so how and does it break the warranty? Or should I better make use of my warranty? I really need my phone for work and wouldn't like to have it away. I'm very new to the Android universe, so please explain me kindly. I have not rooted my phone nor unblocked the bootloader, and I wouldn't like to either. It is all stock:
- Android 4.1.2
- System Version 91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU
- Build 9.8.2I-50_SMI-26
Thanks!

flashing with RSD-Lite won't void your warranty, so give it a try.
here you will find all you need (RSD-Lite and firmware)

Make sure to connect your phone to the computer in AP Fastboot mode
Hey everyone - I've got an interesting one I think.
I had just gotten everything working with CM11 when I got ambitious and went to replace the logo.bin to remove the 'unlocked bootloader' warning that shows up every boot. I realized too late that the logo.bin I used was for a Moto G. Now you'd think that this would just affect the boot logo and I'd be able to try again with the right logo.bin... nope.
On boot all I see is colorful snow. I hear the startup sounds, and I can access the files on my computer when connected via USB. After the screen goes to sleep it shows a flashing white light. Same response with each different startup button combo.
Any ideas? I've tried using adb and fastboot manually, as well as Myth Tools. 'fastboot devices' shows up blank, and adb finds no devices either. I've installed RSDLite but can't find a file to use (lots of broken download links), and I'm not sure that would even solve my problem.
Thanks for any help!
The phone woke me up with it's alarm this morning. That was unexpected. It's also ringing when I call it - CM is running, just the screen is messed up.
How can I get into fastboot in this state? I've never had much success getting the key combos to work on this phone. Adb reboot commands were my most reliable way, but adb isn't detecting a device. If I installed CM11 and have not installed google apps yet, should adb be working?

Nope. Not until adb is enabled by going into the developer options or tweaking the build.prop before install.
Just hold down all three buttons when you are booting up and you'll access the boot menu, from there you can select recovery or fastboot or whatever (for me it's easier than using the other key combos as I too have a hard time with them).

Maybe it's the way you described it, but I was actually able to get into the boot menu this time! I've fixed the logo, and the phone boots normally now.
For anyone else with similar issues, getting the boot menu requires doing a simulated battery pull (vol down + power) followed by booting with all 3 buttons pressed. I think my error was attempting to hold all 3 buttons when the phone was still on and expecting to get the boot menu.
Hooray, my wife has a phone again! And I won't have to worry about touching it ever again because I won't be allowed to. :victory:
Thanks!
Hi, I am having some problem with my Atrix HD. I was doing some rom update and after reboot all I can see is colored snow (not sure whats the technical name for this, as it will help to search better) and goes to nowhere from there. I tried rebooting few times, but nothing except the snow. Its summer now, so How can get rid of this snow and see my normal phone ?

What exactly were you doing? Taking the new AT&T OTA or was it something on the custom side?
I know that flashing the wrong sized bootlogo can do this. I actually flashed a bad one I made the other day that turns my screen red and the actual image is all jacked up. The Moto G logo I flashed left it snowing just like you're experiencing. I've also had random bad flashes do this too.
All you can do is fastboot/myth/rsd back to stock and start over. Hopefully you have backups.
Thank you, I managed to fix my phone, it was something related to battery. I simple pressed all three buttons and connected to charger to get to fastboot menu, which also rebooted few times as phone did not had enough battery to run fastboot. Repeated the process few time to get it working. Thanks
I have seen a lot of threads on similar problems, but none of them seem to have a fix for me. So, here I am!
A few weeks back, I flashed a custom CM11 ROM to my phone, and it went through without a hitch. The phone did have a few problems, but the dev had mentioned that the ROM had a few bugs, so I didnt think much of it. The phone screen would turn off at random, and if i plugged in the phone while it was not turned on, it would get stuck at the loading screen that precede the battery animation. Like I said, I didn't make much of these.
The dev released the newest update yesterday, so I downloaded it, and when I tried to boot my phone into recovery, the s3 mini splash screen came up for a few seconds, then the phone turned off. This happened several times, even when I tried to turn it on in download mode.
I decided to use Terminal Emulator to turn on recovery, but when I tried to turn my phone on normally, the same thing happened (s3 mini splash screen, then turned off).
I saw other threads on the same matter, but they were mostly due to a pressed-in power button, or were solved with steps that didnt work out for me. Please advise!!!

I have the same problem, since two weeks the phone was stuck on the pre-charging logo loading.
This morning the phone showed the same problem of polski, but i can boot in recovery and in download mode.
Every time i try to change something, the phone's situation worsens.
First the phone reboots 5 seconds after the system completely boots.
After a nandroid restore the phone was stuck in S3 mini logo
After that i tried another nandroid restore and it failed.
The phone keep restart, anyway.
Sorry for double-posting, anyway i tried a way to resolve and it had been successful.
I downloaded original firmware from samsung site (obiouvsly the correct one) and i flashed it with odin.
After that i re-flashed Maclaw's CM11 by odin and now the phone work well

First of all do you have a Custom Recovery installed??
If you don't this won't work.
(This happened to me on my S3.
I was using pimp my ROM and upon reboot, turned of after splash screen)
My way to fix this was:
•Download another ROM (for your device) (using a PC or another Android Phone) move downloaded ROM to External SD Card
•Insert External SD card back into Galaxy S3 Android Phone (or you can move ROM file to Internal SD Card if your using a PC)
•Boot into recovery mode.
Turn phone off
Press & hold Power Button, Volume Up & Home Button.
•Factory Reset
•Flash ROM from External or Internal depending on way used.
•Reboot
•Profit
Sent from S3 Mini
Using XDA App

Discharge battery using download mode and return to seller for refund or replacement!
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.

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.
Has anyone noticed a new boot animation pushed out by Motorola?
I'm sitting at work today and all of the sudden I have triangles in my notification bar and it says data blocked and voice blocked. I ignored it because I don't get reception in my office but when I got outside my service never came back so I reboot the phone. I immediately notice a new boot animation.....Only one problem.....My phone will only show my my live wallpaper after boot and nothing else. It wont let me do anything....Shows my notifications on the lock screen but when I unlock I get my live wallpaper and nothing else.
Any ideas? Did anyone get this new animation?
Here is the new animation, I didn't upload this......https://youtu.be/4NgbsuXA2rY

Thanks a lot mate ????
So again this happened.......New animation and my phone is now stuck and wont boot up completely.
After the new animation gets pushed my entire phone loses service and when I reboot I have nothing.
I have a custom boot up picture instead of the ugly device unlocked message, does that have anything to do with it? Can't do anything, it just sits at a black screen and shows notifications but wont react or open them.
I am having the same issue. Has anybody had a luck resolving it short of a factory reset?
My phone battery died last night. I plugged my phone in, let it get about 15% charge, then tried to turn it back on. The phone boots like normal, but after the boot animation goes away, the screen is black. Active notifications still seem to work, and I can hold the power button to get the Power Down option. I can boot into the bootloader & access recovery just fine. However, my phone is fully stock (no root, no bootloader unlock, no anything). I can't seem to access ADB when the phone is powered normally (ie, when I'm at this mysterious black screen), but it's possible that USB debugging isn't even enabled.
So far, I've found a bunch people who've said a full factory reset will fix the problem, but I'm looking for another solution, or at least a way to grab my data before I reset. Since my bootloader's still locked, I can't seem to use fastboot boot to boot into TWRP, and I can't find any other way to access my data to copy it off the phone. I've tried wiping the cache using the stock recovery to no avail. Any suggestions?
