Hello. I'm new to the forum, and the issue that brought me here as had me fulling my hair out of the last three days.
I'll try my best to make this short as possible. I have (obviously) AT&T Lg Optimus G (E970) that was running 4.0.4. i rooted and unlocked it and flashed a cm 10.1 using TWRP. Yesterday tried to flash a zip for a transparent status bar mod. But the flash resulted in CM getting stuck on the splash screen. So i booted in TWRP recovery mode to restore from a recent backup. In the midst of wiping my rom and going to restore, i guess my phone died (which was weird because it had a substantial charge). Then it would no longer power on, and the only was i could get ANY response was by plugging it on the charger. All i get it the red indicator light. my phone will only turn on when plugged into the computer. from there the only two thing i can do is enter download mode and boot. and when i try to boot, i will get the lg logo for a moment and the the screen cuts out and goes back the the flashing red light.
so I trien the LGNPST method.
i downloaded the auto LGNPST and installed just fine. downloaded teenybin and lg stock bin. i've tried to flash both (put phone into download mode, select the dll and select the bin file). what happens is everything starts off fine, then when it gets to 67% the phone reboots, then goes back to the flashing red indicator light, and a message on LGNPST will pop up saying the phone has been disconnected, and to reconnect to continue. so i'll unplug the phone, plug it back in, and put it in download mode, and hit continue. LGNPST will say complete but the phone will still be just sitting in download mode. and if i unplug it, it's goes back to square one (red flashing indicator light)
EDIT: i was flashing the v11c stock bin. i just flashed the v20j bin and now we're boot looping while plugged in (lg logo for about 2 seconds, shut off, repeat) progress???
SO SO SORRY FOR THE LONG READ. Just trying to give as much info as possible hoping it helps.
My question is, is this a hard or a soft brick, and do i have any options left? after researching on here i'm hoping JTAG isn't my only option (I don't have the time or funds to go that route) and i saw someone mention taking it back to at&t, butIi don't think that would help me any since rooting the phone voids the warranty, correct?
I'd be eternally grateful for ANY advice. i'm at my wits end, and i've been google researching this for so long i'm starting not to even comprehend what i'm reading. PLEASE HELP!! And thank you so much in advance.

If it is hard bricked when connected to computer it will show up in device manager as QDUSB Device or something similar. You could try to do a factory reset with button combo, be sure phone is powered off then hold power and volume down until menu shows up.
You Can Also Try TeenyBin If Factory Reset Does Not Work

thanks for the reply guys. it looks like my phone is showing up in the device manager under ports as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM3)" is that a good sign? i'm going to try flashing teenybin again.

Yes, you are not dead in the water. Proceed, young grasshopper.

All the custom, unofficial 4.2.2 roms I found on XDA require that you be on the latest LG 4.1.2 OTA.
There are also links to stock rom and kernel so you don't have to mess with LGPT whatever. No need to do OTA etc, if you flash this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219953
I also found TWRP to be far easier to install, which is installed by default I think with FreeGee. But you can find thread for the latest TWRP 2.6. TWRP makes flashing and wiping cache/dalvik super easy.
Ok, so i'm starting to think this is a battery issue as opposed to a hardware issue. i could still be wrong. I've flashed the stcok rom after stock rom. When i plug my phone into a computer usb port it LG logo boot loops (and this is the only way i can get to download mode), but when i plug it into the usb wall charger, i just get the red flashing light and no other response. when it's not plugged in i get nothing.It's still showing up as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port" in my device manager and i can still get to dpownload mode just fine, so i know all isn't "according to what i've read and been told". So i'm running out of fixes. I did come accross a thread on here suggesting i unplug the battery and plug it back up. So i'll be getting the tools and praying that works.
I did also come across an interesting thread on another forum. They were saying how id you allowed your battery to drain all the way to true zero (which i think might be possible because my phone died in recovery mode), it wouldn't have enough juice to initiate and monitor the charging process. If this is the case, can the batter be brought back to life? a jump start or something (lol)? or will i have to just replace the battery?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP SO FAR GUYS.
When you used lgnpst to go to 11c it boot looped because you tried to go backwards from cm. If you did a factory reset afterwards with button combo it should boot. Also can you get into recovery after flashing teenybin to do a reset and flash a ROM?

i did a factory reset a few times, but it still never booted. and whenever i LGNPST, when it hits 67% the phone reboots and just starts bootlooping (if i flash a stock rom) if i LGNPST teenybin, at 67% the phone will shut off and the flashing red light will just come up. and after each a message will say phone was unplugged or lost connection. after both instances ill plug it back up and put it in download mode again to finish and it will complete, but the phone will just be sitting there in download mode. and if i reboot.... bootloop city.
i cam across this thread that seems to detail my issue perfectly. so i'm going to attempt a teenybin flash one more time to tryt to get recovery mode (havent been able to get it at all), and if that doesn't work i'm going to do a battery pull..

and thanks to the tot link provided by zymphad above, i'm now running jb 4.1.2
THANK YOU GUYS :highfive:
I found LG's camera lacking, but 4.2 has an update for that, plus the camera mod, much improved I think.
Running RootBox great now with 124mhz idle, GPU downclocked to 200 and CPU undervolted to 85, stable and cool. I don't 3d game on phones.
Glad you fixed it, I just hope someone makes a high capacity internal battery for us since taking it apart isn't that difficult.

Hey folks,
I'm having some issues with my ATT Atrix. The phone keeps rebooting at the "Rethink Possible" screen. I bought this phone off of somebody on CL. I actually had the phone make it past the att screen a couple times. It made it to the setup up Motoblur screen but when I clicked start it just skipped it and takes me to the "Emergency Calls Only" screen. However the phone would just restart eventually at this screen as well. When the screen timed out I could not get the screen to turn back on at this point unless I unplugged the USB cord and plugged it back in. When the phone was on the Emergency Calls screen, my computer did recognize the phone and it did launch the motorola website. While I had the phone at this screen it did say that it had to force close android.process.com. I am coming from a captivate with rooting and flashing roms so I am familiar with Android. I am just trying to figure out where the problem could be with my Atrix. I am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. Thanks for your time!
Your best bet will be to SBF that back to stock. Have you tried that yet? If not search for RSD Lite and SBF in the forums. There are several links and guides.
Is it unlocked?
I am not sure if it is unlocked as I cannot get past the emergency call screen. However, I will search SBF and research that option of setting it back to stock. I know when I flashed roms on the Captivate I would enter into recovery mode. I see in the Atrix that I would have to use Fastboot? The only reason I am worried about flashing a rom is that the phone reboots on its own so I would not want to hard brick it if it rebooted during a flash.
If it's unlocked you should see the word "unlocked" in the upper left corner of the boot logo screen, unless it was unlocked then flashed back or fruitcake in which case it will not say unlocked.
You should not have issues flashing from recovery if you have enough juice in your battery, which you maybe don't if you have been letting it sit rebooting. The rebooting is more than likely caused by an issue with a kernel, ROM, etc. Think of recovery as being similar to the BIOS on a PC. You enter into BIOS before the OS boots, etc., and this is before all the hardware has initialized and drivers have loaded, so the problem causing the reboots should not exist at that time. I would definitely try flashing a different ROM, and also a stock kernel.
It never said unlocked when I got the phone to turn on. I am having trouble getting the phone to turn on this time. I have downloaded RSD Lite and the 4.5.91 .sbf file to flash. I am just having trouble getting the phone started. Are there any ways to force the phone on. When I press the power button the green LED stays lit but nothing comes on the screen. When I plug into the charger it shows the moto symbol then goes to the Battery charging screen. Im not sure if the battery is correct because it says BHX5 1500mAh on the battery. Thanks for your help guys!
Update: I can get the phone into Fastboot and then Android Recovery Mode when the phone is plugged into the wall charger. However when I connect the phone to the computer via USB it just shows the green led when the phone is powered on. Anyway I can get the phone to boot into Fastboot while connected to the computer via USB?
Bump. Any way to get the phone to turn on when plugged into the computer or anyone know why there would be an issue of the phone turning on when plugged into the wall charger but only showing the green led when plugged into the computer? The battery shows 100% charged. Thanks
Update: I got the phone into RSD mode and flashed the 4.5.91 sbf but the phone only goes to the Emergency Call Screen. Is there anything else that can be done?

Did you fastboot -w before flashing the sbf? (Guess you don't really need to when flashing a sbf)
What may also help is flashing the boot.img file from whatever ROM you are using via fastboot.
Don't know if this will help, but it solves an issue when flashing to a different ROM from CM7, so maybe will help for you.
I know this might sound dumb, but do you have a sim card installed? Also, try to boot into recovery and just do a factory reset. @CaelanT already pointed out that this should be unnecessary since you flashed an sbf but it wouldn't hurt to try.

EDIT: I reread the OP and realized he had already tried to bypass the start screen.
That is not the correct battery. That is actually a battery used for the Droid X/X2. It seems they have pulled a switch-a-roo on you. (Probably because the Atrix battery could be used as an "Extended" battery in the DX/DX2) Anyways, it should still work but you can find the correct battery online, it should be a BH6X and should have a capacity of 1880/1930mAH.

Thanks for the reply. I tried to get the phone into recovery mode. I get to the Exclamation Point screen but it gives me no options for a factory reset. I saw that you have to touch the lower right hand side of the screen, but this doesn't do anything for me.
As far as flashing the boot.img file for the rom that I used. I flashed the stock 4.5.91 motorola rom. How can I find boot.img and would I flash it using RSD?
Also would it help if I flashed a custom rom instead of the stock Motorola 2.3.4 rom?
Could the battery not being the BH6X rom be the issue for it not getting enough power to stay on by itself?
Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it!
No, the sim card was not installed during the flash. However, I did install the sim card afterwards but the phone boots up and goes to the big green battery charging screen and does not go any further. However when the sim card is not plugged in I can get the phone to go to the Emergency Call screen.

The following are the instructions for flashing the boot.img. this was the solution to bootloops when trying to restore to a different ROM after CM7, but as I said previously, you never know if it will help or not:
1.Open up the Zip file of your current Blur ROM (Ninja, CherryBlur, Alien, etc.)
2.extract the boot.img file and copy to the directory where your fastboot is.
3.Pull phone battery & reinsert
4.Power on phone and go straight to Fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down)
5.Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (exclude quotation marks)
6.Once flashed, reboot phone using "fastboot reboot"
Sorry, don't know how to extract the boot.img from a sbf. Did a quick search and couldn't find instructions. Not something I have done before. Maybe someone else can help with this. I don't even know if this will work, but anything is worth a shot when you are stuck.
<edit> Which CWM are you using?
You can flash Romracers via fastboot if you are not using it. This may help you get into recovery.
Update: I got the phone to recognize the sim card and make phone calls and get wifi active. But the phone still reboots by itself. I can use all the functions of the phone except it just reboots by itself. I got into the About phone section and it says
Android: 2.3.4
Kernel: [email protected] # 2
I can get into the Android Market as well as everything else. Could this be a hardware issue that causes the phone to reboot by itself within a minute or so?
Edit: I can get the vol up and down buttons to work while the phone is working but the power button is not responsive to let me power the phone off. Could a hardware issue with the power button be causing the constant reboot loop?
Update: I got the phone to function with the OS working just fine (phone calls, texts, emails, etc..) but it keeps restarting on its own. The power button still does not work however, could this be a hardware issue? Thanks
My phone was running at about 60% battery last night, and working fine. It was in my pocket and it vibrated. I was unable to turn it on or reboot it, even after removing the battery. I tried using the battery from my wife's S2 but still no luck. I tried connecting the power supply but it still wouldn't boot so I left it charging overnight.
This morning it alternately flashed a fully green battery and a fully black battery. If I press and hold the power button it starts the boot process - I get past the Samsung splash screen and see the first "Resurrection Remix" splash screen, but then it reverts to displaying the green battery.
Any ideas for how I can revive the phone??

Ok We cant say its bricked!! Because its booting up but not coming to homescreen rite? Are u able to get into recovery or download mode?? If ur able o then wipe the data cache and dalvik cache, reinstall the ROM again.. If Recovery doesnt shw up.. Then Use ODIN to flash original fw!! Even if u still couldn get it.. Order a USB JIG from Ebay and try getting into DOWNLOAD MODE!! Even after this its still working means ITS BRICKED !!
Start download mode and the flash a new stock firmware . And your phone isnt bricked .!
This is why I always make a backup.
If you can get into download mode you can fix it, if you can't it's a service centre job. Pretty simple really.
Try cleaning charging port..

Uh oh...I managed to get into Recovery mode, did a factory reset and kicked off a re-install of the Resurrection Remix ROM from the external SD and it's hung at 50% (for 10 mins now) - at the "Extracting /system..." stage. I daren't interrupt it.
Any ideas???
Yes stop messing
1: If you dint have to save anything, wipe better to full wipe
Flash a stock Rom using Odin, than start again with custom roms.
OR
2: download your custom Rom again and flash, might be corrupt download.

So it's OK to interrupt this ROM flash, even though it's stuck at 50%? Should I just hold the power button or remove the battery??
pull the battery
But I say flash stock Rom first, lengthy procedure I know, but safer
OK I decided to reflash RR 2.3, which had been running fine for a couple of weeks previously. Immediately after flashing (which worked OK) the boot process wouldn't complete - it got as far as the RR splash screen then died (screen blank, and needed a long press on the power button to restart).
This happened several times. Eventually I removed and replaced the battery and it finally booted.
Does this sound like a hardware problem? I've noticed that the phone often runs quite warm, but I don't know if that's normal.
You have to flash stock rom, only way to know if there is something wrong with your phone, run it for couple days.
Now to the heat issue, it is due to
1: modem
2: kernel
3: both
Hey everyone,
I successfully rooted and unlocked (through FreeGee) my bootloader. I installed TWRP, booted into the recovery through adb and performed a backup. The phone rebooted itself and now will not power on. The phone was extremely hot. I removed it form the USB port and plugged it into my charger thinking it may drained the 90% battery I had. It will not take Power + Up or Power + down.
Any ideas?
I did NOT try to flash or wipe, just back up.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: I was able to get it into Fastboot by taking the SD card out, but can't get it to go any further. I am still researching this, but any help is greatly appreciated!
EDIT 2: Just put the phone into Download Mode and am installing LGNPST. Also downloaded the correct TOT.
EDIT 3: LGNPST is seeing the phone and installing the TOT but gets stuck at 85%, reboots the phone and then doesn't go past that.
EDIT 4: LGNPST finally got to 100%, still blinks the LG Logo and then dies.
EDIT 5: Admitting defeat... going to plea my life to an AT&T rep to see if I can get a replacement, as I don't think I am to blame here.
Hi All,
I've run into an odd problem. My S4 completely died on me last Saturday. I can access recovery and Odin Mode, but only if the phone is plugged in. No response from any combination of buttons should I try them without the plug in.
When I plug the phone in, it brings me to a boot loop of the battery icon with a circle indicator through it. Leave it long enough, and it'll turn off, vibrate, and do the same thing again. From what I understand, this is a problem with the main board, or the PBA. However, I figure I should try everything before I send it into Samsung for a repair.
I want to flash a factory image through Odin, just in case that could possibly be an issue. If the phone flashes correctly, but still won't boot, is that dangerous? (i.e. the phone needs a complete boot after flashing with Odin).
If I can freely flash without any side effects due to my issue, what would be the safest image to flash to it? I don't remember the name of it off-hand, but I think there were three I knew about.
My phone does come up as COM9 through Odin, so it recognizes there's a device.
Are there any risks to doing this, or should I skip all this work and just send it to Samsung?
Thanks in advance.

In the past the only time when I odin back to stock and It did not boot up I went to the stock recovery and did a factory wipe and started like a charm
SOLVED
I've been able to debrick the phone! It's difficult to reproduce the steps, but it goes something like this:
- Being that the phone rebooted by itself [with battery on] the flashing process could never be completed successfully. So I noticed that the phone kept powered on when the battery was removed and it was connected to the micro USB. So I used LG Flash Tool 2014, and as soon as the process started (after selecting the KDZ file > CSE Flash > START > OK) I connected the phone, with the battery removed. The process started and had a
"Connection to Server failed. Try again in a moment."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
error, which I ignored, so the flashing process went on background. Then it said there was an error and give me the option to retry. I did. The process started again, reaching 99%. Then the phone restarted and the perennial "Download mode" was gone! The Android with a charging bar below appeared. I put back the battery on the phone and after a few reboots more it was back on KitKat :victory:
Hope this helps someone else in the future. It made me sweat

Hi. I've a LG L30 Sporty, also known as LG D120g. I've been using the phone and a day, three weeks ago, I had the brilliant idea of trying to flash Injector with Flashify.
The phone was rooted, running stock Android 4.4.2 and without any other issues. I have never been able to use the stock recovery (except for factory reset) because strangely the font exceeds the screen limits and the menu is illegible.
Now, the reason because I say it's "hard bricked" is because, at the moment, the only two things which the phone can do is freezing on download mode, and "factory hard reset" with VOL. DOWN + POWER BUTTON, and the POWER BUTTON once. The factory hard reset is confirmed, and only returns the phone, without rebooting, to the download mode.
I have tried ADB and LG Bridge, but none of them detect the phone. I've two firmware: D120AR10B_00.kdz and D120G10A.kdz. But (only tried once) now the phone is in a boot loop! It cycles every 40 seconds, taking with the dark screen to boot (or reboot) and 20 in download mode.
Well, any ideas? I've given up, but now my father could use the phone and I thought of asking around.
Firstly it is not HARD-BRICK
Its is just boot-loop aka (soft-brick)
Now its solution
1-USB Drivers (your device)
2-LG Flash tool / KDZ Updater
3-Stock ROM (other necessary file).
Try flashing it with stock ROM, and still your having boot-loop Don't worry do a factory reset and than good to go.

First of all, thanks for your quick response.
I don't know if it's relevant, but the phone is effectively rebooting every 40 seconds. Can a firmware be flashed like that?
Anyway I've tried. The flashing process reachs the third stage, the one with the phone and the up arrow when the software extraction in progress completes, and then there are 2 dead-ends: 1) A window which says
Connection to server failed.
Try again in a moment.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And when I close it, I disconnect the phone and remove the battery, press VOL. UP and connect and put the battery on, and the phone starts again and I click "Retry". LG Flashing Tools says "Verifying phone connection..." and then "S/W Upgrade is in progress", but it never goes beyond %11. I believe that it is because of the boot loop =/
If I could only stop it...
Post your question here, some expert might help you.

I'm giving it a bump. Just once.
Any idea? I'll try anything (I think I had already, but maybe...)
NEWS:
On fastboot I can't list the device on it, or at least I couldn't yet. I've, however, noticed that the phone is detected by the computer.
When it's on download mode there are 3 new devices: 1) USB Composite Device 2) LGE AndroidNet USB Modem 3) LGE AndroidNet USB Serial port (COM13)
I've stabilized the reboot cycle by taking the battery out when connected to the computer. Somehow the USB cable seems to power the phone independently from the battery circuit.
