Will not boot after root & unlock - AT&T LG Optimus G

I rooted my phone with no issues. Installed TB and backuped my apps & data. Then I downloaded FreeGee in the Play Store so I can support the devs. Ran that, selected CWM, and it was successful. Installed CWM but I did not flash anything so that should not have affected anything since it is just the app.
I then shutdown my phone and attempted to boot up into fastboot so I can verify the CWM menu. I get the LG splash screen for a second and it is then just blank. No blinking red light or anything else. I can hold the volume up/power button and notice the screen turns off. Tried to boot normally by just selecting the power button and the same thing happens....LG splash and then a blank screen.
Any ideas?

I hoped on IRC and tried to get some assistance but it does not look like there is much activity going on right now. If someone can help here or if I need to hop on IRC, let me know. Thanks.

Possible Brick?

I'm absolutely new to the custom rom scene and I figured I would root my phone and install the rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759642
It went perfectly fine and I started the like the idea of being to install what I want onto a phone, so I decided to make the jump to install CM10.
I ran a nandroid + TB backup and copied the backup to my computer. Then I dragged my CM10 rom (from http://www.droidhive.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1470-cm10-unofficial-for-d2vzw/) to the root directory of my phone. Then I ran rom manager to install cm10. The phone reboots into recovery but gets stuck on recovery. It will constantly reboot and once it reaches recovery, the loading bar with the picture of the green android robot in the background loads about 20-25% of the way, and then the phone vibrates and acts as though I just boot it up (and this process cycles).
I can't get it to ever get past this 20-25% mark and it isn't recognized by my computer to flash it back to stock and I can't do a nandroid restore since I can't get past this state.
Is my phone bricked and if so/not so, what should I do?

Hmm honestly the easiest way out of this is just to flash the stock rom of your carrier through odin (download mode and flash), easy fix. You could try messing around with the recovery and whatnot, ie try flashing a new recovery through adb somehow, but easiest and the most least painful way seems to be to just odin back to stock and try again. and also, i dont get why people use rom manager, heard too many horror brick stories about that. Just adb the recovery to the phone and flash the zip. Why even bother with rom manager.
good luck, hope i helped :good:
I can't get my computer to recognize my phone to use odin / adb.

Did you put your phone in download mode? turn off, and then hold home vol down and power at same time.
Never mind..
I was asking same thing like Unleashed12

Like I said, when I book into recovery/download mode, it just boot cycles.
That is: phone turns on. Samsung boot screen, then android robot screen, loading bar goes about 1/4 of the way, then phone goes black, and starts at samsung boot screen again.

Sounds like you haven't actually entered the download mode... power off> hold at same time power, home and vol down... keep holding until the phone turns back on. you should enter download then.
I personally feel like you just have a dirty install without knowing more. Once you enter recovery I'd just data reset, cache reset, dalvik reset and reflash same rom... or a backup
Yeah, my bad. I didn't hold it down long enough. I'm such a noob.

[Q] Galaxy Exhibit stuck on boot

I have a T-679. it is only lightly modded. I still have stock UVLE1 with Clockworkmod recovery...v5.5 i think. All has been well until recently I have been trying out a lot of new apps. recently i got the adw launcher and camera sensor. now when i reboot i see one Samsung logo, then tmobile/android logo and jingle, then another Samsung logo and it hangs here. if i wait some time and start pushing buttons I see that the phone seems to be active. if i push the power button then the vol-up/down i hear the sound of the volume being adjusted. also very curiously i just found that if i hold down the home button and press the power button i hear a shutter sound!? In some instances, haven't figured out if its a particular button press of just random, i can get the lock screen to come up, which then allows me to unlock the phone and all works normally... until i reboot again.
any ideas suggestion how to proceed? Thanks.
edit: I just checked I have CWM recovery v5.5.04,b
I have a backup from a while back and i just made another backup
I also tryied wipe cache/dalvik which i thought it helped because i think it booted directly after that, but i just tryed again and
this time i see no benefit/effect

After wiping everything such as data, cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats in CWM, try restoring the Nandroid backup which you've created. If still, it gives weird issues, fresh install another ROM.

[Q] ONE Max stuck on "HTC ONE" screen...

I was doing a backup with TWRP and everything seemed to go just fine. Then after a reboot i unlocked the phone to notice that it was leaving the lock-screen icons on the bottom of the page. I still had access to my notification bar and could clear notifications. Figuring that there had just been a mistake in the boot process, I held the power button to restart the phone. Well it never brought up my power menu to restart. Also instead of making me wait ten seconds until it flashed its lights and restarted, it just restarted in like 3 seconds. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC ONE screen and will not respond to anything including hold the power button.
My phone is rooted an s-off. I know that I have not posted at all on here, but I have been rooting and know how at least the basics on adb shell. I just have never had a phone lock up to this point. If I can at least get to recovery, I should have 2 or 3 backups to run. I just don't want to have to wait for the phone battery to die just to hope I can get to recovery.

Are you saying volume up + power button does not restart your phone nor does any help? Check if your phone is detected in computer and if so you can issue and adb reboot command
also since there is no removable battery HTC added a reboot function press home vol down and power that should do the trick
The phone is not detected by a computer, nor will it charge. Vol down and power is not cutting it off. Right now I am waiting for the battery to die so I can hopefully boot into recovery and do a restore.
Vol up + Power was the key. I was thinking it was volume down. Thanks for all your help

Just wanted to point out I ran into this issue also (Stuck on white HTC boot screen) after wiping my ROM and Vol UP + Power did the trick for me also (and then Vol Down + Power to get back to the bootloader).
i need help, guys
so attempting to install a new rom, i must have dont something wrong because now restarting the phone will leave me on the htc logo loop and restart. i still have access to hboot and fastboot. but when attempting to load into twrp, it shows the team win logo for half a second and then restarts the phone. then i installed cwm and it does boot into it but whatever option i pick, install zip, wipe data, ANYTHING, restarts the phone.
i have no idea what to do. i tried installing a rom using adb sideload but it stops at around 80%, ive tried installing different versions of twrp and cwm and same thing. i think it is bricked. im using the verizon htc one max. the only option i see left is the ruu toolkit but ive only been able to find the sprint version and then it says that bootloader needs to be locked and i have not idea how to do that from hboot, fastboot, or cwm
attempting to install superuser also fails
if there's anyone here that can help, please, any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks =:laugh:
Sounds like you're flashing the wrong TWRP.

May I suggest following these instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51753483&postcount=129
If you're able to complete those instructions outlined in that post, this should set you up with the latest HBOOT, Radio and TWRP (Recovery) for the Verizon HTC One.
Make sure you read the post fully before you start, especially this part:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (Be sure it finishes saying 'successful', not 'please flush again immediately'. If it says the flush again, rerun the command)
If you succeed in getting that done, see if TWRP still causes the phone to reboot and get back to us.

[Q] [HELP!] GT - I9100 bricked

Well I was undervolting and underclocking my i9100 for a few months and it would suffer from freezes and stuff like that nothing much as I would be able to perform a hard reset and reboot with my phone completely working everytime that happens. However today, I just locked my phone after taking a picture and I could not unlock it after that. I pressed the power button and home button but the screen would not turn on. So i just took out the battery and tried booting the phone. It was stuck in a bootloop where the boot animation would just keep on playing. So i force shutdown it and booted it into recovery. I had CWM 6.0.4.6 installed and when i booted into recovery, it gave me the message it cannot mount something and cannot load last kmsg and blah. I took no notice and tried to format cache. During this point, the recovery hanged and i force shutdown my phone again. After which, I could never turn on my phone again. No splash screen no nothing. I think it is bricked. And yea btw my usb port is not working anymore and it can only be used for charging. And i was running cm11 infected. Can you all please help me thanks!
so no recovery nor download mode?
Sadly, no

Yep i cannot even boot into anything no splash screen no nothing pressed the power button for like so long i even removed the battery for 2 hours and popped it back in not working
Try this - take out battery,then press and hold volume down+home+power and put battery back without releasing buttons.This may get you into a download mode where you can flash stock jb via odin.

Did I brick my GO?

Hi all,
I got into some trouble with my XGO. I had it rooted with CWM installed and wanted to install Phantom Kernel 1.0.8 Performance. I rebooted to CWM, installed the Kernel, and it was all successful and told me to reboot phone. That's when I realized I have no way to move back to main CWM screen - there was no ++Go back++ option at the end of menu and touchscreen didn't work either. I could only move up, down and forward.
So I decided to hold some combinations of Power and Volume buttons - when I held Power+Vol Up, my phone turned off.
Here's the problem - now when I hold the Power button it only vibrates shortly as always and that's it. The screen remains black and led flashes but nothing else happens.
Call me a dumb if I messed up something. But what other option did I have on the CWM?
What do I do now? Is Sony Update Service my only option?
Closed
Ok, I restored stock ROM, pls delete thread.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Best flash kernels with fastboot not CWM because it won't let you flash unless you can (bootloader unlocked)
