[Q] Soft Brick help? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently found out I soft bricked my LG Optimus V. I rooted it and it worked just fine but then I installed a font from "Font Installer *ROOT*" and after it rebooted it got stuck at the "ANDROID" screen. The only way I can turn on my phone is by removing the battery, going into recovery, clearing cache and then factory reset but I cant seem to lock the device without another automatic reboot which results then in a black screen. I looked online on how to fix it and from what I found out I need to backup the device and install a new ROM? How exactly do I do that?

[Q] Optimus V boot loop - no lock screen

So I decided I wanted to change the font on my lock screen. I rooted with gingerbreak. I'm on rooted stock with no custom recovery. After I put the new font in using root explorer I rebooted. After rebooting the phone got stuck on the android screen. I can go into the stock recovery and do a factory reset and boot back up. As soon as the screen turns off or I reboot the phone it goes back to being stuck on the android screen. I discovered that if I use No Lock I can have the screen turn off and be able to turn the screen back on without it rebooting. Still, it I turn my phone off and on again I get stuck on the android screen.
I think the problem is that the phone can't find the lock screen and/or font for the lock screen and so it freaks out. I tried putting the clockopia font back in system/font via root explorer and it doesn't work. Any ideas? If this has been covered before please point me to the right thread because I haven't found anything like this.
Any ideas? Anyone...?
Reinstall using KDZ Updater, LGMDP or LG software update tool or install a custom ROM.
Otherwise spend the rest of your life trying to find the cause to the problem.
custom recovery first, lots of threads in v development section

Factory reset a ROM flashed Android phone

So, basically, i rooted my phone(WYNN SK S150) a month ago and flashed a custom ROM onto it. All was well, until yesterday, when i factory reset my phone normally(using the factory reset option in settings and not the clockworkmod way). When the phone restarted, it was stuck into a loop of the boot animation(the animation of the custom ROM logo and not the default ROM) and is practically unusable. I cant access it through my computer(Computer doesnt identify it, just says its an unknown device) and i cant access recovery mode.
NOTE: i have a backup of the default ROM.
Can anyone help?
Hope my phone isn't "bricked"...

[Q] alcatel onetouch ot908 won't boot

[Q] Chinese (digiin/irulu x10) stuck in factory reset loop

After rooting the tablet this afternoon using "Genius Root" I somehow managed to get it stuck in a hard (factory reset) loop. It's a digiin/iRulu X10 on android 4.2.2. Got the tab rooted and was loading some apps and playing around. Loaded SuperSU to replace the KingUser app loaded with the root - it was after that (don't remember what else I'd done) that it reset and, on rebooting, was in the reset loop.
Did manage to (once) get to a screen showing some options but don't know how I got there and can't get back to it. I tried an option that was something like 'use .apk file to reboot' and that didn't help.
Any ideas on how I can break it out of the loop or get back to that options screen?
I have also tried the 'power/volume' reset with no luck...
Thanks much in advance for your help, Vern

HELP!!! LG LTE2 Bricked....!

Hey Guys,
I had an LG LTE 2 (F160L). I had installed CWM touch in it. Yesterday, I booted to recovery. While trying to hard reset it, I cleared the internal memory, the cache and the Delkvin cache(I still don't know what that was). Anyway, when I selected the reboot option, it asked me if I wanted to root my phone again and I tapped on YES. Now when the phone restarted, it got stuck on the second LG logo (the one with the shine. Actually it stucks after the shine has crossed). When I put it to charge it just displays
"NOTE: battery_charging_05.png is missing."
Battery 51%​
I tried to boot to recovery again but it just reboots and same happens with download mode.
Please help me guys I am stuck.
