I've tried flashing multiple ROMS from both CWM and AmonRa and always have the same problem.
When the phone reboots, I get the standard LG logo, followed by a grainy, monochrome version of the logo (cyan on black), and then the ROM boots up with the same cyan-only monochrome look. I can't get the display to show properly.
Going back to stock by restoring my NAND backup brings the display back to normal. I'm not sure which step I'm missing. Can anyone lend a hand?

what rom are you trying to flash? did you wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing the custom rom? if you did, well its probably a bug in the rom since you said it happened on two different phones
I tried open optimus
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033653
and
(OFFICIAL) [email protected]_2.3.3_v2- Power Menu +franco-kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141490
I'm looking at other ROMs to try, just in case I managed to get 2 buggy ROMs, but it doesn't look promising
And yes, I did the factory and cache wipes before every flash
UPDATE:
Just tried with 0x0v3rfl0w with the same results. My last few flashes have also led to crashes at boot up (The application "Settings"...) and the ROM not being interactive.
you are trying to flash a rom that is not compatible with your phone. these roms are only compatible with the p500 and p509

Can you suggest a ROM that's P505 friendly? I can't seem to see any that are clearly labeled.
i dont think there are any custom roms for p505 (at least none that i know of)

When all else fails, follow unroot steps to return to stock and restart the process. Something you're doing doesn't seem to be adding up.

Returning to stock is a good way to resolve this issue.
So guess what, you can change the color inside the rom settings
Oh thanks for the help
Are you using ROM manager to flash roms or doing it manually? if your not you should try rom manager it has an option that lets you wipe all data before flashing the new rom. i use it and ive never had any problems

If you search this forum or Google 'unrevoked', you'll easily find a complete guide and walkthrough on how to root your phone, which'll (as part of the process) load clockworkmod boot recovery.
The next time you reboot, hold the volume down key, which takes you into your boot screen, and use the vol up and down keys to select 'recovery', and press the power button.
From there, wiping your cache partitions and doing a full factory wipe is very straightforward.
That's the easiest way to fully flatten your phone before installing a new ROM.
Edit - the process might differ a bit for your model phone, but the principle will be the same...

This is very weird, I posted this on certain Roms threads thinking it is a rom issue.
When I flash certain roms I cannot get pass the htc white screen. I tried this with Synergy and Viper, CursedDragon. When I flash the rom only it will hang for a while in the white screen then goes black and reboot to the white screen ....over and over.
here is what works with some roms. I will have to take the battery out, hold the vol down then power to get back to recovery and flash different kernel (not the same kernel works for every rom).
I got this way to work with Viper and CursedDragon but not able to find a kernel to flash over the latest Synergy.
I have tried the file to do a complete wipe but it didn't work.
Is this normal? Any ideas. I was thinking to put back my 8G SD since I have replaced with a 16G SD or to revert my phone back and start root again from the beginning?
What do you think?

Try to download few kernels to your pc (silverneedle, natarchy...). Mount your sd from your phone recovery and put those files there, and apply one the time then reboot (silverNeedle worked for me)

If you guys are trying to flash custom kernels over 2.3.4 roms, it will fail. If you are sticking on splash or lopping it could be a wipe issue, try one of the superwipe zips. Otherwise, more info about your device/system would be needed. Good luck.
Not just custom kernels, with some roms it will not take any, not even the included one.
I am trying to flash Synergy-3DVO_RLS1_08-21-11(NIGHTLY).zip but it doesn't work in my phone. it keepa rebooting on the first htc screen.
I used both recoveries, just to make sure if it might work with one of them.
I rooted my phone with the very first root guide that came out, first temp then revolutionary and now it is on S OFF RL.
I used the super wipe files but don't seem to work.

I'm having a similar issue with my phone. I did a Nandroid Backup (Amon RA Recovery) of my existing ROM and then I rebooted without flashing any new files. The phone boots where I can see the clock and then it reboots itself and continues to do the same thing. I flashed the Super Wipe file and then flashed the new ROM that I wanted to move to and everything is fine.
Does anybody know why this is happening? I should be able to perform a Nandroid Backup without any changes and be able to boot into my existing setup. I like flashing new ROMs every now and again and this obviously prevents me from wanting to do anything. Any help is appreciated!
try using twrp Recovery instead of Amon RA here is the link for the new version

Try TWRP Recovery it might sort your issue out. I had similar issues and after flashing TWRP I could flash fine only problem is not all ROM's are flashable. You can always go back to CWM's if need be. I tend to switch between the two

yes you will have either go into recovery mode by holding down the "down volume" and the power button on start up and then pressing the down button till you get to "android recovery" and pressing up on the volume button and then install "fullwipe.zip" and then the rom ".zip" of your choice... or if recovery doesn't work then you will have to flash recovery onto your phone via fastboot.
I have the similar problem on my atrix 4G att version. since yesterday I have flashed several roms including stock fruitcakes and I get reboots after phone boots up it stays for min or so and reboots. what I noticed is in all roms that I tried since yesterday when checking in Settings>about it shows baseband unknown. I suspect baseband is causing problem. question is why baseband is missing in every rom? I never had this problem. do I have to install baseband to fix this issue?
thanks
If you have issues with baseband aka radio, installing ROMs won't fix it since radio is never a part of any ROM (except stock SBFs). You might try flashing another radio (or the same, sometimes that helps too).

i think he means wiping /data, /cache and dalvik chaches
Full wipe means you do a wipe cache, wipe dalvik and wipe data in CWM.
so, where can i get that baseband???

P.S. the only way it does not give me these issues is to treat it as a brick and restore to stock gingerbread
How old is the actual battery? Is it bulging at all? Might want to try a fresh battery. The battery with a full charge but is dead after reboot is a sign of bad battery.

That is a given i have learned from past experience that wiping just once sometimes just is not good enough. strangely enough i returned the phone to stock unrooted. from there i install hybrid rom and did not have any issues the battery said it was a full charge the phone stayed on did not reboot untill today this afternoon i went and logged into facebook and the second it logged in bang there was the reboot. before that i made calls and went tot he play store etc etc with no hiccups this is really got me stumped
Wiping data and cache is not always good enough. You should also format your system partition. If not you will have system files from the previous ROM on your phone even though you do a full wipe.
Your issue may be with the way you are rooting your phone. Install your factory ROM using odin. Then use odin to flash CWM or TWRP recovery. Then flash a superuser version using recovery. The tutorial you spoke of mentioned kernels and you may be flashing a kernel for gingerbread on a JB ROM. This would definitely mess your phone up. Stay away from the kernels mentioned in this thread as the info is ANCIENT. After rooting (actually you don't even need to install superuser to flash a custom ROM) install your custom ROM. And only flash kernels recommended for that particular ROM.
Agoatamers words are always solid. I myself dont like to flash alternate kernals as they often seem to invite more maintainence. If it doesnt work with kernal built with, then I dont use.

I have been in this game for a while now and i have flashed more androids than i can count this phone is not the first note that I have flashed but it is the only one that i have seen this issue with as far as flashing kernels i did not use the kernels in that post untill i had returned to stock with GB then i used them the way you mentioned above is the way this phones was flashed several times I have tried many different roms without flashing kernels and then as last result tried a few defferent kernels as well to see if the kernel was an issue as i have had issues with kernels in the past on the SGS2 doing this with crappy kernels, although they were an easy fix flashing siyah pretty much fixed that issue. here is an update on the phone situation. i have been running hbrid rom for almost 24 hours with no reboot (fingers crossed, knock on wood ) the only thing i have done different I did switch batteries due to being out and my primary batt died and used my back up so i do believe it very well may have been the battery, the battery is not bulging as of yet but that does not mean anything as the battery could still be bad so we will see again fingers crossed i will kep this updated for at least 48 hours as long as there is no more problems i will mark this as solved via the battery replacement

It also happens during calls sometimes when I take the phone away from my face and the screen turns on and sometimes when I'm listening to music.

you can go to the Original Development thread and find the thread for the Uber kernel. pay attention cause one is for JB and the other for KK. whichever Beanstalk your running get the right kernel.
you will flash it just like you flash a rom, or more like you would flash the gapps. you don't have to start over flashing rom again, you are just flashing the kernel to it.
the reboots sound a bit off to me as if you are flashing completely clean, KK is very stable for me and most others. maybe try flashing rom twice as you can get 2 different reactions on 2 different flashes.
flash rom
flash rom again
gapps
boot and wait
reboot
go back and flash your kernel
make sure you get all your wipes in middle of all this.

If you are using Beanstalk you should probably read the BeanStalk thread, both of these common problems (screen flicker and failure to wake) are solved with a Aroma package made by p0llution. You flash it in recovery and all is good. Link is in 1st post, right next to ROM link. You can also switch kernels and boot animations with same package.

Would I need to reflash the ROM to ally another kernel?

As instructed, you need to do some reading. In my last post I gave you instructions on how to add kernel.
Help yourself first, then others will be more than happy to assist.

I'll give you some slack 'cause I am still close enough to my first flash that I remember being full of questions, but at least read the OP and most recent pages in your ROM thread. You should skim through it all ideally but some are 100+ pages so....
Kernel switching in general does not require any ROM action, there are likely cases that it might be useful but I've never had a problem. You will need to ensure that the kernel is matched to your ROM; KitKat or Jellybean or whatever. I usually do it as I flash a ROM but I have gone back and installed a kernel on a running ROM plenty of times; Uber for instance was released after I had BeanStalk up and running, it is a good kernel so I switched to that.
As a more general point the Note is hard to brick, as long as you don't somehow mess up the recovery (CWM or TWRP) you are just a quick restore away from back to normal. Use the backup function in your recovery, it is your friend and savior. Keep a copy of the back-up on your PC (or Mac) and you will usually be golden.

If you are on BS Rom you should know that all you need to to know is on the OP post-the rom and the patch. The latter contains about 5 different kernels which you can switch betw. to your hearts content. The patch is n00bie proof to make your switches. Really hit BS OP.

Just like all the other kind gents adv'd, it's all in patch's OP:

He uses aroma installer, so when you flash it (personally, I did it with CWM) you don't need to wipe cache/dalvik nor wipe phone, he mentons this on patch's thread while answering questions I believe. The screenshots show you some differences between the kernels he has available, either CM, Uber or PAC.
Personally, I'm using PAC since for me it seemed to work better with the Xposed's Netflix workaround, whereas it didn't work that well with Uber.
Also, the patch provides fixes, for camera, screen flicker and such.. Give it a try, and you'll definitely love your phone more!
