[Q] Optimus V screen goes black after LG logo splash - Optimus One, P500, V General

Alright heres the deal. Have an Optimus V by VM. I rooted it using gingerbreak 1.2. Installed clockworkmod 3.0.2 i believe. Was trying to install CM7 mod but right about now I'll take anything that works. Lol. After I power up my phone LG logo shows, disappears, and then my optimus V gets stuck at a black screen. I am going out of town this weekened and would really love to have it fixed by then. I hope someone is kind and patient enough to help me out.

enter recovery mode and i hope u have back-up of your rom reinstall the back-up ...also try hard reseting the phone

unless i am trying the wrong buttons. i cant get it to get into recovery mod. Doesnt seem any combinations are working.

[Q] Tell me if there is any hope for this VM lg optimus v, that I bricked?

Long story short, I got all the way to the point of flashing the ROM, after the black screen issue with recovery. So I did all the necessary wipes, the onto the formatting. When I tried to flash ROM, I realized I inserted a sdcard without the ROM I wanted. (THIS IS WHERE I BRAIN FARTED AT) I pulled the battrey instead of just replacing the sdcard that had the ROM. Now when I power on all I get is the lg logo. When I try to go to recovery the lg logo flashes, then just black lit screen and keys lit up. It won't go into emergency mode either, that's my main concern.
Tell me if I'm doing emergecy mode right also, I'm holding down: back arrow key, volume down, and power. Is there an amount of time I need to hold these keys

I had the sdcard in the phone, I didn't have the ROM on the card.

Does it stay on this black screen with the keys lit up? If so have you pressed the camera button and if so does it reset to the lg logo then back to the black screen? If so if I am correct there may be an issue with display drivers or something. I had the issue as well and it was a pain to get it going correctly again. But anyways what I had to do was to get a different recovery for the phone then have the images of the recovery screen to know what key combinations to press. Once I had that I just flashed the new recovery onto the phone and it restarted and eventually got a new recovery with the screen actually showing up for the recovery. Anyways after I did that I could go from there and I use the latest IHO as it has the necessary display drivers for the phone. I am not sure about other roms as I have only used IHO. Anyways I found how to do this here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...black-screen-custom-recovery-custom-roms.html be sure to register to be able to get access to the forum to see the necessary details. I kind of had to improvise though as I couldn't seem to get access to the phones command prompt always told me waiting for device. Well I hope this helps if you need further details let me know and I will try to help you out.

Random boot loop...won't turn on now.

Hello all...So yesterday, my Aria all of a sudden shut off and then restarted...I thought that was strange but thought nothing of it other than a glitch, however a few minutes later, it shut off again and now it won't get past the HTC screen and continues to boot loop at that screen. Running CM7
Anyone know anything I can do? Am I screwed? Has my Aria bit the dust? I was hoping that it would hold out until the One XL came out or the SIII
thanks,
Mike
Do a clean install from Clockworkmod. Phone is most likely OK.

You don't have to get to the bootscreen to access recovery. Can you get into the bootloader?

I can get into the bootloader, however when I select recovery, the white HTC screen shows (as it always did before I got into recovery) that is the "boot screen" that I can't get past...not the cyanogen boot screen

Same issue, can't get past HTC screen
Hi, I know this is an old thread but I have the same problem and I'm wondering how you even got into the bootloader; I can't get past the HTC screen; it's looping; does a little vibrate, blanks for a second, then back to HTC (I flashed a bad gapps). Anyway holding down buttons isn't getting me anywhere and I don't have a computer I can plug it into. Any ideas?

Turn phone completely off. If you can't do that, remove the battery so it turns completely off, then put it back in.
Press and hold the volume down button. Press the power button. Continue to hold the volume down button until the HBOOT screen appears, then you can release.
If you continue to have problems, try doing the same process but hold the trackball button instead of the volume down button. This should take you to the FASTBOOT screen, but from there you can select "Bootloader" from the list of choices to go into HBOOT.
Make sure the USB cable is not connected while you're doing this.

cwm touch doesnt work. HELP? INFO?

ODIN says it passed. it didnt.....it doesnt do anything but go into DL mode. am i doing the button pushing wrong. do i need a phd in android engineering? what the hell am i doing wrong? everything passes!!!! maybe bad downloads? im not holding my mouth right? ive owned the e4gt from sprint. this phone is the same. there coudlt be to much diff. oh well. what now? throw it against the wall?
hold power button along with volume +/- when you see samsung logo release only the power button, then once logo disappears release volume buttons..that should get you into CWM. once you have it all set up, you may want to try TWRP instead of CWM.
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
Also ...
Depending on the version of CWM..it uses the double tap style to function ....making you push each area twice to toggle it ..
Then to go back to the previous screen you use the back arrow at the device bottom ..
The koush touch method is only one touch ....
Good luck brother ...
We're here for ya ...g

[Q] Bricked after installing Safestrap, please help!

Alright, so I literally just received a replacement phone after having my Galaxy s4 broken for about 3 months. So naturally the first thing I do it is try to root it so I can get CM on it, but the factory the updated my phone to the VRUEMJ7 build, which apparently you can't actually hard root... so whatever, I do the saferoot, and use Hashcode's Safestrap recovery. But, for some reason I always feel the need to test **** that I don't understand, so in his recovery I switched the active ROM to the stock rom, then tried to reset to factory default, deleting all the data and whatnot, thinking I would be able to get more space for my CM partition. Welp, now my phone is stuck at the Samsung/Custom lock spash screen, and I don't think I can boot into Odin (it's still volume rocker up + power button, right?)
So, is my phone now hard bricked, or it there anything I can do about it? I'm downloading the image from this thread as I type this, but I'm not sure I can use it considering when I try to boot into Odin the blue text flashes in the upper right corner like normal, but then the screen goes black while I continue holding the buttons, and doesn't do anything until I release them, which causes it to just go back to the bricked splash screen.
Halp!!!

You reset your stock rom My advice is to read up on what you can and can't flash, and if you have even the slightest doubt, ask someone on the forums for, help. That saved me loads of time and stress.
ODIN/Download Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key(s): Volume Down
While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button until you see a disclaimer on the screen
Then let go of both buttons and press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer
Once the green robot is visible on the screen this indicates that handset is in now ODIN/Download mode
Recovery Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key(s): Volume Up
While holding this key down simultaneously press the Power button
As soon as the phone vibrates, let go of the Power button but keep holding Volume Up
When you see the "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo (not just the word "Samsung"), right after that, the next screen you should see is your recovery
Don't let go of Volume Up until you see your recovery

When I try to boot into Odin the android doesn't pop up though, the screen goes black while I have the buttons held, and just goes back to the boot screen after I let them go.

Sorry, not to sound ungrateful for the help, but I feel like you're not reading what I'm saying :/. I would love to be able to do that, but as of right now I'm unable to get into Odin. Unless you can get into Odin using ADB or something of the sort that won't help me.

ah my fault
You can always enter download/Odin mode. Hold the HOME button and the volume down button when powering on until the screen turns on.

Take the battery out and wait ten mins then put it back then try to boot in download mode. If you didnt flash over sbl 1-3 and aboot you should still be able to get into download mode. If not boot into recovery mode then clear cache and then try to boot to download mode. And what blue text in the upper right corner are you talking about? Download mode doesnt display that and recovery displays blue text in the upper left.

I posted in the Safestrap thread asking for help too, and someone pointed out that you need to hold the buttons for Odin and release them when the phone vibrates, and I was keeping them help. Thanks so much for the help guys, I should be able to flash the recovery image and save my phone now.

Lumix DMC-CM1 bootloop; ADB troubles

Hi,
I'm having problems with my great Lumix phone, stuck in a bootloop. I got it in to ADB mode using this a thread: on another site, but cannot get further. Maybe my phone was in MTP before it got stuck in the bootloop. It definitely is running in developer mode. I am on 5.0.2 and the problem started when deinstalling Kingroot via Super Sume Pro
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Is there a regular factory reset mode, I can't find a keycombination that will start the factory reset other than the one in the thread. If not, does anyone know how to change the mtp to adb mode?
I hope someone out there does know the answer....

Just tried, but does not go into recovery, just Lumix repeating itself. (I let go of the buttons as soon as the "starting system" was shown.

Try letting go the power button only when the "lumix logo" appear, and keep holding the volume button.
unfortunately, that does not work either. I noticed that the Lumix logo only apears on the second loop; i.e: first it starts with a screen powerd by Android twice, after the second it goes to Starting system and then Lumix. Maybe that does give you/someone a clue?

I thought that lumix logo is the first thing that shows app.
In that case you need to let go the power button when you see the "powered by android" logo, and keep holding the volume button.
In short, release on the first thing that show up, no matter what it is..lumix logo..android logo..etc

Tnx again, but no, I'm sorry, that does not do the trick. Stays in the bootloop, no recovery choices in this way.

Ok, last thing to suggest is to search google for:
"(your model number) recovery mode"
Or any other suggestions that comes in your mind, i tried doing that but "Lumix phone" didn't come out with anything related because it's not accurate.

Hello mate, I have the same bootloop issue after uninstalling KingRoot. Did you fix your phone somehow?
I'm in the same boat - stuck in boot loop at "Lumix" logo. I tried Power + Volume Up/Down to no vail.
