im new here, so please dont bash if i placed this thread in the wrong area.
i just purchased a kindle fire. and i attempted to root via burrito root. it rooted (or so i thought), went to try to load android market and it wont download, i cant transfer files from sd to internal storage. and now. when i rebooted its stuck on the "yellow caution/flame" screen, prompting me to press "power" to go to recovery......BUT IT WONT GO TO RECOVERY.......this was a gift for my fiance, i was trying to make it more fun for her since she has an android phone. Please help. How do i fix this.....
Do it go into bootloader? If no, you should bring it to technical suuport
it does not go into boot loader, it just stays on the screen. Im just going to bring it back and exchange it....
It take some time and while i rooting my phone i will try many methods. I cant say if your phone could be bricked because in very hard times with my cell phone i still found some tool to summon my HTC.

I Russia you loose your warranty when rooting your phone....
yes here too. BUT, i bought it at Wal-Mart and it doesnt load at all. it just asks to go into recovery.
I had Android 3.2 rooted on my CDMA Tablet. I won the tablet in a contest and I didn't want to pay for the 4G so i bypassed the Activation. Now, I forgot to remove root then wipe, but instead I wiped data (didnt think i would need a backup because so used to not doing so on the droid X), and now I can't get past (Please wait while we set up your tablet.....Please wait while your tablet is getting activated...sorry no network is available please turn off device and reinsert simcard) Am I screwed from this point? I cant get the tablet to be read via Odin.
*Edit*
I got it to read in Odin finally, but anything I flash trying to get back to stock or anything like that is causing me to still get the error of activation.
Did you skip the activation or did you do something else?
Could you describe you steps in a little more detail? You rooted the device and tried to achieve what?
Allright, well I am a new andriod user, and about a month or so ago i rooted my phone. I am very technology minded. Found a page that showed me how to do it and a link to a doanload for a folder with the needed files. Anyways I have a lg optimus lte through bell. Yes I am in canada. So last week i decided to unroot my phone seeing as I wasnt using the super user features that I put on the phone. Needless to say now my wifi will not turn on and I have followed to the letter the instructions on how to factory reset the phone and when I do, i get to the factory reset part, hit the power button twice and then the screen flashes to the lg splash screen and just sits there frozen. I do a battery pull and the phone works but it is still not reset or rooted. Anyways what I am trying to say is i need some help reseting this phone back to factory so i can get full use out of it. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you ever change your ROM/have to flash back a stock ROM? Or did you just root it and keep the same one?

I rooted it with a file i found online, the folder was called LU6200_ROOT_RECOVERY_FLASH_PATCH. It rooted fine with no problems. I unrooted it following the directions in the folder and now my wifi doesnt work and i cannot hard reset the phone.
Mind you I temporary bricked them, but I've yet to this day tried rooting a phone, and never had things go smoothly.
Any guide I try to follow just so happens to be the wrong one, or isn't thorough enough in its directions... Theres always some missing software, or missing details on what to do when you hit a road block, so here is my story so someone can point me in the right direction...
I bought this LG Optimus G LS970 on eBay, and apparently it was already rooted, and it had some sprint apps on it so I guess its the sprint version of the phone. Anyways I notice there are some photos on the phone, so start plugging in the the phone to my pc only to find that i cant access files.... I google some questions, start holding buttons trying to get into whatever boot or recovery mode or some mode i dont understand.
Turns out I got something called Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.0.0 flashed on my phone.... I don't quite get what all these options are, but all I see are wipe options and I'm thinking "Hey this will get me back to factory settings and maybe i can flash a barebones android jellybean whatever (I dont know what os is called on a phone) So I start checking boxes and wiping things...
I soon find out that my device is telling me I don't have an OS. Of ****ing course it doesn't. I realized I just deleted it, because it told me I deleted it.
Well atleast I still have this recovery dohicky so not all is lost.
I start reading unbick guides, and of course I dont know what they mean, I just download every link they tell me to and run them. I install "drivers" and even then, when I plug the phone into my PC, I still get "Did not install" popups even if "LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1" said it installed correctly....
I open up this Original LG Firmware thing, and asks for my phone's model and serial number... Just what the hell is my phone's model? eBay listing said E973, the back of the phone says LS970, that useless mobile tool that wont let me download additional drivers says its called LG-LS970, and google results call it LGLS970....
And of course I don't know my phones serial or whatever a "imeieieie" is because I don't have an os to tell me that (guides don't tell me how to get this on a bricked phone and google result is useless)...
So I cand download this thing called a kdz because #1 it wont let me, and #2, and google just doesnt have a download link for it.
All I wanted was a rooted lg optimus g with a nexus-like experience on it without bloatware, and I somehow manage to brick my device within minutes of owning it, what do you think I should do.
I did hold down Vol - to get into some black screen that says "SERIAL" with a number, but that number doesnt seem to work with that lg firmware downloader thing. What do?
Super easy fix. Get an external sd card. Put a ROM on it. I recommend one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067871 the latest version is Stock Jellybean of our phones. OR is you want CM10 use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411406 . Be sure to download ROM+GAPPS for CM10. I recommend those since you probably don't know if your phone has the updated partitions.
Anyway put whichever you want on the External SD card. Reboot back into recovery TWRP (Team Win Recovery). Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik. Go back then Install the files you put on the External SD card.
Ls970 is sprint version. Only att version has external SD.

Oh wow I read that some many times and it just didn't click. Well it's much hard now. To OP, you should ask in your designated forum. This one is for the AT&T model. The easiest way is to find out how they restore their phones to stock. Probable LGNPST or something similar. Or install ADB, then push a ROM file to the internal, then flash in recovery. You're gonna have to do some research. But it's still easily do-able. As for the issues with the drivers, someone over there should have a link to alternative ones. But you can google "universal ADB drivers" and those should work.
I used LGNPST with a positive result. The hardest ****ing part was finding whatever-necessary file I was supposed to flash to the device. It took me hours to find it (not much help from XDA) and I was never clear if the file I washed, was indeed the stock rom the device came with.
The device now has startup and shutdown animation and jingles I wasn't familiar with (Different from what I got the phone with)
What I know is, the ebay Listing was for a E973 from West Virginia with abunch of Sprint apps on it.
But E973 is said to be a Canadian model? But Canada doesnt have sprint? And the phone says LS970?
I don't know whats this phones origins are, I just know I flashed a file called LS970ZV7_02.SV7_02.P25006.tot which told me to rename to bin, it flashed an outdated, possibly mismatched version of android, and from update to update I eventually got back to 4.1.2 but had new animation startup stuff...
My phone came pre-rooted and pre-recovery, but this recent flash killed those and now im looking to get back to that point. I'm unaware if my radios or whatever are jacked up or not because I never intended to use the device with a service as I get by just fine on Wifi only.
I found something called GAIO but the original page is offline and i cant download it.

Well, by your own admission, you said you needed to flash the LS970 tot file, which wouldn't be in this forum, the AT&T LG Optimus G is the E970, it's distinct in that the back glass has the AT&T logo, for one. On the bottom center on the back glass it also says "LG-E970"
On the left side of the device, with the volume buttons, below them is a tab that pops open for the micro SDCARD and SIM card.
If the phone you hold in your hands doesn't have these distinctions, and you start flashing stuff from THIS forum and not the LS970 (aka Sprint LG Optimus G) You very well might brick, temporary or not, all over again.
That being said, with the correct kernel, MANY of our roms work just fine for your phone, but research and reading is a prerequisite for such.
