Hi all my phone has some how only boots in Safe Mode for some reason. I'm running CM7 and whenever I boot my phone it doesn't go past the LG logo unless I press a button. However, whenever I press a button it takes me straight to safe mode. I've used Xiaona custom recovery to fix the boot load but that doesn't work either. I'm quite confused and discouraged because I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. None of my buttons are stuck IMO. I've search endlessly for solutions but have forum none, for most people, rebooting their phone takes them out of safe mode, that unfortunately isn't the case for me.
I've spent probably 8+ hours fooling around, I only got this phone yesterday so you can just imagine going from a beginner who knows nothing to having to use ADB commands and stuff to try and fix their phone. I'm finally ready to ask or beg for help. Please help me
Just wanted to say I've fixed this issue by holding down ALL 4 of the face keys on the phone while it was booting up. You have to hold them down until the phone is completely booted up. However, this is the only way I know how to fix it, unfortunately I have to do this everytime I boot my phone but I don't turn my phone off much so I'm happy as long as it's working.

Hi guys.
I usually can fix my mistakes but this time I'm stumped. I think I bricked my evo but I don't know if its soft brick or a hard brick. Based on the other posts online mine doesn't really match up.
Here's what I did,
It was late and i was doing a restore on a miui rom through my clockworkmod recovery and it looked to be stuck at the begining for over an hour which is a really long time so i pulled the battery in the middle.
Not smart but my phone came back on and i tried a few backups and it kept happening but i decided to pull the battery one last time and just flash something new but
This time it wouldnt come back on. Eek!
This is what it does,
It will onlyy power on if you plug it in and then press all the buttons. It will boot past the htc logo and then go to the begining of the miui boot animation and stops.
It will not get into fastboot or recovery by holding power and vol down, nothing happens. When you plug it in. The red light comes on for a few seconds then turns off so it wont charge either.
Im really stumped guys. I tried the hard brick guide
Here.
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...k-guide-hard-brick-only-wont-turn-charge.html. and that didnt do anything.
HELP!!!
So, you cannot get into the bootloader screen at all, yet it does boot if you press all 3 buttons? I would pull the battery and let it sit for a while, The other thing I would do is leave the battery out, and plug it into a Windows PC, and see what devices show up. (Particularly within the first 5 seconds, just watch the device manager or the "new devices" screen to see what's showing up)
I would try
Code:
adb reboot recovery
That might get you into recovery in which you can do a superwipe and then flash a working rom.
If it doesnt try
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then flash an ruu.
It does show up as something when i plugged it in when windows tried to install drivers and ive taken the battery out like a hundred times but no success.
As far as adb method i wasnt finding a clear way to perform that. Is there a walkthrough that you recomend i try?
And thanks for responding guys
fixed!!!!

my phone is back on and i cannot beleive it didnt find it sooner!!!!
i hope this thread helps other users!:victory:
well my phone is now stuck on the htc screen... help please
I was running meanrom 3.0 then dirty flashed 3.9. My phone would turn off randomly so i restored it to 3.0. Then my text messages wouldnt work couldnt send or receive. So then i full wiped, restored and still no text. Then I full wiped and hit reboot system. And now it is stuck. I guess it is stuck because i didnt restore or install a rom? I cant even get to the bootloader. So is this phone a paperweight now?
Hold power down, this will cause a simulated battery pull, the phone will turn off, wait a second or two then press and hold power button and volume down and you will boot to the boot loader. Be very careful next time
Edit so long as your phone responds there is almost always a way to fix it, you only worry when phone stops responding (screen off won't charge won't turn on)
I wish more people would read my guide I included problems (even this exact one) to help people avoid them
ok got to bootloader. THANKS
No problem I'm glad I helped.
Note: This exact problem and many others are in the troubleshooting section of my guide. (Sorry if I don't advertise no one will use it lol)
Yep.... you wiped the ROM and then tried to boot nothing.
yeah....this is clearly covered in my guide...lol
Hello everyone ... I think I dun goofed, but perhaps someone knows something that I don't :\
So today I wanted to switch to a new Custom ROM... standard procedure I guess. Without doing anything, btw, apart from using my phone, I got several random reboots into bootloop today, especially while texting, which I didn't get at all, but didn't mind because they ceased after several times.
So I get home and get cracking ... backup my Contacts, try to make a NANDROID backup, which gets stuck while backing up /data ... which I didn't get, but unfortunately CWM didn't wanna react after this, so I had to hard reset, and lookie lookie, it rebooted into Android. Now, however, nothing works.
I put in the battery, the bootloop begins, not even a press of the Power Button is needed, I press the combination for Download Mode, actually SEE THE WARNING SCREEN, can't however proceed because the reboot begins immediately after, and CWM won't load either
Does this mean I'm pretty much f'd in the a?
EDIT: Welp, seems like removing the battery right when the loop starts makes it so that I have to press the power button again which makes me able to access both Android and CWM, I literally have no clue how this could have come.
Hey guys im new to this thread and a website said to see if you guys could help me. Well basically I tried to make my music louder on my android and it didnt like that. Now it wont boot or go into recovery and to make things worse, i made it go into charge only mode a long time ago. Since i cant open it or view files since its on charge only mode. I think im screwed. Is there any way i can fix this? Thanks a lot for anything. I tried to hard reset and all of that but it goes into a black screen then just goes back to the LG loading screen. It basically just loops itself everytime i try to enter recovery. It gets stuck on the tracfone page. This is a straight talk phone. Its the LG Access LTE L31L. Ive looked everywhere and havent found anything that works and thought that you guys would hopefully help me. Is it just a paperweight or is it fixable? Thanks!
In the computer the phone isent reconized as anything??
I found one in a car I just bought, has the lock for PIN enabled and cannot enter phone.
Tried all the reset options found on web, nothing brings me to recovery, searched the forums here for this model phone, nothing found.
Tried Volume Down + Power, released Power when LG logo appeared for 3 seconds then pressed and held, it would reboot sometime long sometimes short, but would not enter recovery, tried both volumes up and down, volume down and home button, every combination I could find...
I had a SIM card for a tracfone that was active and wanted to see if this phone would accept it...
Any other tricks available? Computer dings that it sees the phone, but since I cannot get past PIN screen I cannot choose what function USB should be and nothing is seen in Windows Explorer.
Any LG master files to force open the phone through the PC when locked like this or ???
Sorry to hijack or open an older thread, but not much action here for this model phone...
I had recently installed evolution x, everything worked fine, but i stupidly hit the update button today and now im stuck on the twrp splash screen...
When it turns on i get the galaxy s9 plus splash screen then the twrp 3.5.2_9-0 splash screen.
I am not able to turn the phone off with the power button, i have to hold both volume down and power to restart it.
I have also left the phone overnight just incase it needed a bit of time but no luck, still just stuck on the twrp splash screen.
I have tried many hardware button combinations with no luck. I am unable to see the device on adb or fastboot, and i am unable to see the device when plugged in to install drivers for odin.
How do i fix this? (To be clear i dont care about the data on the phone, it is backed up but the phone is currently a paperweight in this state)
Edit [SOLVED]:
After weeks of googling i was able to find one thread for a different phone with a slightly different problem that said letting the phone run out of battery let them boot into download mode and it worked, as soon as i plugged in the phone and held the button combination i was able to get into download mode and install a later twrp version.
Hopefully other people can find this solution faster than i did
I am still looking for information on this if anyone has any.
I have also had to let the phone run out of battery and am hoping that doesnt make things worse.
