Hi!
I have a problem with my LG Optimus 3D (P920). Installed the JellycreamV3 and it went good, untill everything was complete and I restarted the phone as instructed. Now my phone stucks at startup logo. Its been like that for hours but nothing happends? I have tried to restarted it several times without any resaults. Please help me. Its my first attempt to install new android version.
Perhaps your install was bad, try reinstalling it, or maybe you didn't clear the cache, system, data?

- Boot into Recovery again
- Wipe data/cache and go to "Advanced" and wipe Dalvik (yes, this will delete everthing, but you don't exactly have a choice)
Reboot. If it's still hanging
- Boot into Recovery again
- Re-flash ROM
And BTW, didn't you make a backup of your original ROM? If not, well.. you won't go any places fast. Another tip is to go to the thread where you downloaded the ROM and ask for help there. People there have flashed the ROM, and some may have had the same issue as you have now.
I try to go into recover-mode but it just starts up and get stuck on the logo:S I did a backup but no matter how i press the buttons to access the recover-mode the phone just starts up and the LG logo comes up. Then its stuck there

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I think this is in the right place.
I used this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206746 to flash my HTC Sensation. I rooted, S-OFF and everything went fine. I flashed and backed it up. Now there were no error during flash (I flashed with the Clockwork app) and it rebooted and now for the last 40 minutes, its been stuck on the loading screen where it says "HTC, quietly brilliant" and then it starts again, and again and again. Slightly annoying now...
I have no idea what is wrong or what I should do.
Let me know if you need anymore info...

Did you wipe EVERYTHING before flashing?

Reflash. If not go to recovery. And wipe data. You might have a boot loop.

Thanks for the quick reply's and help. I realise now that I did not wipe EVERYTHING because I wanted to keep my HTC "scene" layout. I've restored it from before i flashed it and i'm going to flash again. Thanks again. Ill post if it worked.
Edit
I'm using Titanium Backup to save it all by the way and I've "Thanks" you all.
Well, did it work cuz I got stuck in that constant boot up mode yesterday and I just took the battery out and than held down volume plus power button went into HBoot than recovery and I had my original system backed up so I just wiped than restored my original than went in and flashed the ROM properly and all good now just thought this might help?
In ROM Manager, "ROM Pre-Installation" is "backup existing rom", "wipe data and cache" and "wipe dalvik cache. My question is, what is dalvik cache?

It seems I was flashing the theme for the ROM without the ROM. Anyway I downloaded the right one and it still doesn't work. Can someone just check this list of what I'm doing.
(Already Backed Up ROM)
- Open ROM Manager
- "Install Custom ROM"
- Choose the "P3D_Full_Wipe.zip"
- Let that flash and what not
- Boot into HBOOT
- Recovery
- Install zip from SD
- Choose "CdTDroid....zip"
- Let that do and what not
- Click "Reboot and start system"
Also, I'd like to know how to flash from Recovery. I think ^^that's^^ how.
~Ak
Nope. It still doesn't work. No matter how many times I do it. I did it exactly right this time. I did it all from the ClockworkMod Recovery place. It still doesn't work. It just says HTC and it doesn't even come up with the slogan. I don't know what to do now.... Please help!
Edit
I've done everything in this post to root my phone with S-OFF and everything. I haven't used any other guides or anything.

Are you only trying to wipe by using that zip? Forget about that and wipe using the options in your recovery

Just trying that now and waiting..... How long will I have to wait for it to boot? So far its been 45 secs and its just flashed the slogan up on the loading screen.
It loaded! Yay! Now how to get the theme....
Can't you just do everything in recovery, your theme should still be in there if you backed it up just wondering?
Ok so I'm fairly new to the rooting scene, and these forums, but so far everything has been pretty good, except for one small problem. I installed a custom boot logo, and afterwards my phone was lagging a bit. I contacted the boot logo programmer, with no response, so I decided to wipe my system and use the backup from right before I installed the custom boot logo. Unfortunately, the boot logo has not changed, and my phone 'fails' whenever I try to flash something from Odin. Anyone know what to do in this situation.
If you want to do a full wipe of you device,cos it sounds like tha boot logo is corrupt,then boot to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.then go to "storage and mounts" and format system,data and cache.Select "Go Back" and factory reset your phone and reboot.If it doesnt go past the boot logo after 1min then pull the battery,put it back in and turn it back on.Its a pain in the arse but it will completely clean up your device and if you where rooted you will need to probably reroot but berfore hand plug in your phone to your PC so it gets recognized again.
EDIT:Just incase,first of all download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps!!!!

You need to wipe usb storage, sd card, then put phone in download mode, flash stock ROM using Odin. You need to fully wipe everything.

I've trying reflashing the stock ROM and kernel; however, it gives me a FAIL and says can't open the serial (COM) port.
I have solved the problem by closing Samsung Kies and wiping the system, thanks for all the help offered.
Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!
Hi! I'm new to the forums and I have recently rooted my MB860 Motorola Atrix 4g with olympus.
Today I tried to install CM10 Avatar Rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140902
I restarted my phone in Clockworkmod > install zip from internal storage > install
But after it restarts, it gets stuck on the Avatar logo with the sparkle circulating.
I tried wiping Delavik/cache/ and I even formatted the phone to factory settings.
Can anyone please help me?

have u tried going back to stock
make sure if u flash the file again that u re-download it, the ROM might have not been downloaded correctly and therefore you are stuck on the splash screen
The problem is, i hadn't back up my previous rom before installing this one, therefore I cannot go back. Ugh i'm so newb >.<
However, is there a way to completely set it back to factory settings? I wipe /data/cache/Delavik/ back to factory setting but still after i restart it goes to the splash screen of Avatar ROM.

It is always recommended to take a backup and full wipe (not just the dalvik cache) before installing a custom ROM. It is quite difficult to retrieve the data if there is no backup and the ROM is not booting. As of now the first thing I would suggest is to take a full backup using clockworkmod (at any stage you can recover this and come back to current state). Once the backup successful, try doing a wipe data/factory reset, then install the rom and see if it boots.
If the ROM boots at this stage, again take another backup in clockworkmod. Also someone on the thread has suggested flashing an older version of the rom first, boot and then flashing latest zip helps.
Then use the advanced restore option and try restoring data alone. If this is successful, you should most probably have all the data of all standard applications.
Also check this links http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 or stock-firmware and see if you can install the stock rom back with this.
Hello good people,
So basically I got into a boot loop on my S3 (phone froze, took out battery because nothing else was reacting and came back to a boot loop) and decided to clear Dalvik cache in cwm recovery and it seemed to work, the phone restarted and reconfigured my apps but got stuck on a screen saying something like "preparings apps for use" or something to the sort but after a second of that it would reboot again and the same process would repeat. So I hit the home button during one of those "prepare" screens and my phone booted up just fine.
Now my question is: what should I do now? The phone works but I have no clue why it soft-bricked on me. And if it will even restart next time? Should I install a new ROM or upgrade?
If so how can I keep or backup my game/sms/contact etc. data? I only used Odin before so I don't really know how this works. Also, could I just write a new ROM on top of mine? Would that keep my data on the phone or wipe it all?
Your phone is rooted? If isn't, root your phone.
Do a nandroid backup and after this: wipe data+wipe cache+wipe dalvik cache.
After first boot, install Titanium Backup and recover your app with data, sms and contacts from nandroid backup that you have done before wiping.

It is normal for it to freeze or throw up fc's when preparing/optimizing apps and needing a few reboots to clear it.
If its working fine now you could not worry about it but as broken920 do a nandroid. If you wanted to go the full hog do a complete install. It is also best to wipe cache and dalvik cache at the same time. This might be why it frooze when preparing apps.
