The current situation is that after the splash screen is seen, the phone is completely black and shows nothing.
Download mode and recovery mode do work.
What I did that caused that was:
1. Followed this guide in order to root the phone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLQ51Pg77q4
The phone worked well after that.
2. Tried to install this zip by placing the zip file in the phone, restarting while holding volume up + home + power, and choosing to install zip from folder.
So probably step 2 was wrong. Please help me to fix the situation, and tell me how to do the second step correctly.
Thank you
Guy
UPDATE:
I flashed the root file again, and the phone works now.
Please tell me how to perform step 2 properly.
Thank you
Stop making a separate thread for this same issue every few days I.E make this the last thread you make about this issue. If you need further help in a few days/week/whatever, post to this thread, don't make another one.
This is a completely different issue, and this is only the second thread I open.
My previous phone is dead, I received a new phone and am now trying to install a new ROM on it. It has nothing to do with the dead motherboard of my previous phone.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks
How was anyone meant to know you got a new phone.
Nobody should care whether it's a new phone or not.
I wrote the exact situation and how it happens exactly.
Nobody should remember that few days ago I was talking about a non-working phone. This new thread is a new problem, starting from scratch.
I can assure you I dont care.

I'm a newb so please be gentle as I'm having a hard time following what folks have said elsewhere on similar issues.
I have G2 and clockwork with stock rom. The only thing I have done to the phone so far:
1. Perma-rooted it. All went well, no problems, used the phone for several days.
2. Flashed cm-5.0.8-droid-fontfix-signed.zip to try and fix terminal emulator gibberish that made perma-rooting very nerve wracking.
3. Phone will not boot up. Stuck in HTC screen. I can get to Clockwork and tried re-setting to factory default and still had same problem.
4. edit - can get to SD card through clockwork/fastboot but have no idea what to put on there to flash and fix things
I know other folks have had similar problems but the computer doesn't recognize anything on USB and I'm a beginner android-idiot. Any step-by-step help for morons would be appreciated.
**edit** Once I got into the sdcard, flashed stock rom linked elsewhere. Sorry to bother folks!
Thank you.
I have been trying the 3 step root for a good while now, and after everything is pushed to the phone, it tells me to "choose the bootloader option and press power........" if you did it this way you know what im talking about. Anyway, my phone never boots into bootloader. In all but two times of trying it has stayed at my normal homescreen. when i finally get to the boootloader, a very rare occurrance, i press power, let the rom flash, and when it should ask me to update, it gives me the attached picture. Its so frustrating because I'm a noob. please help!
I didn't use Easyroot but from what I've read you need to follow the instructions in that pdf file I linked you exactly. Apparently some steps may need to be repeated multiple times.
This user had the same warning as you after the OTA and said he got it working by just following the instructions and performing steps until it worked.

I've tried it over and over again, and typically got no result, but thanks for leading me in the right direction. I'm not running custom firmware... To my knowledge. I'lltry to reinstall everything on the phone and computer that has anything to do with adb like one of the posters said. Again, thanks!
As previously stated I am a complete noob when it comes to flashing android devices.
Here is the problem I am faced with: I recently rooted, and unlocked the bootloader on my atrix hd (ATT)
Since then I tried installing cm10.1 multiple times on the secondary "Rom slots" within the bootloader, without any success. So I finally decided to go for it and install cm10.1 in the "stock rom" slot, Prior to doing this I did a back-up using Rom manager. Aand now I seemingly can't even boot into recovery mode, every time I restart my device it simply goes to the cyanogenmod blue ring thingy and gets stuck! (I have left it for 15-20 mins thinking it might be some kind of installation process..) But apparently it's not and i've broken my smartphone lol. Anyway i'd really appreciate some help fixing this problem, a step-by step guide would probably work best..!!! I have both windows 8 and Ubuntu installed on my pc, just saying..Don't know if it's relevant information and may simplify fixing my problem...Thanks in advance guys and girls
i've even tried holding down all three physical buttons and it simply takes me back to the same screen!!!
you could try something like this:

.. and you are sure, that you can not enter the recovery menu??
official motorola guide, how to enter recovery menu:

can you please help me with a soft unbricking of my lg g vista (vs880 [11b]) from verizon usa? i found the 880-11b firmware file, at least i think its the right one. if you know of/ come across this and are sure of its validity i would trust that more. i found and downloaded via a google search. i initially think i may have accidentally deleted the splash pic for the carrier when it boots. this caused it to just black screen after the lg logo n the backlight would flash like it was stuck in a boot loop just the image file was missing. after a little more research i figured out how to put it in the download mode so that i can use a pc to try repair or reinstall whatever it needs. i am unsure if i need the sdk or adk toolkits for a repair in the download mode to work. while on that screen it says its plugged in and waiting to download firmware via usb under the progress bar it tells me not to unplug until download is completed. its not showing up in "my computer" however. and i've never had to do s software/firmware download or setup when the phone wasn't in full normal working order. i simply want to put back the out of the box software back in place. firmware 88011b and 4.4.2 os. just want to be sure i get the proper files/and or programs/ directions to use those resources properly the last thing i want is to guess at something that i could ask someone more experienced for help with and end up bricking it beyond repair. any and all help is very appreciated and i must ask you to please explain each step as clearly and "dumbed down" as possible as you can. if i need to use a program i've never used before {i.e. i hear things like odin mentioned in the forums but i don't understand or have any experience with any pc to phone applications so the more detailed any instructions can be made the better. anything that most ppl who have started tinkering with their devices usually know as common sense or steps that seem implied if not specifically mentioned i'll miss. i have been reading n lurking for months n managed to root the device. but had another issue i accidentally caused soon after which resulted in a factory wipe and some time to remember what i did that rooted it after spending a day on it the first time n trying many things it took me a while to refind what i had done that worked. then this happened. i'm sure with the proper files/tools it'll be fine but i need help to know what those are and to be sure i do it right the first time. i know if i don't there may not be a second chance. thank you again in advance for your patience and help.
Hello! So awhile ago, I decided to try to root my new phone, ensuring model and etc was correct (CPH2459, this should be the usa unlocked variant right?) annddddd... it did not turn out so well. I had a friend recommend I reset- (which I mean I don't see what that would do but I have bootloader already unlocked so..) which just led me to being stuck on the setup screen where i cant get past wifi without my phone restarting- without fail to that as well. Also like touchscreen didnt work half the time and physical keys (Power, Volume) didn't seem to respond when the device was on either (excluding for a hard restart).
I followed this guide step by step (in no way blaming those individuals) https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...guide-from-fastboot-obtain-root-more.4495801/ and my phone is now stuck in a fastboot loop.
I do wish to clarify that I am sure I followed step by step, I didn't make a backup though as the initial guide didn't present how to do so.
I'm honestly afraid to do anything more to my phone, and I really do need this to work as it just happens my other phone broke recently. Would appreciate any help so, very much, I have no idea what I'm doing and I haven't the slightest clue as to what may be wrong.
I do understand this question has been asked a bit with this phone and there are other threads, but I couldn't find my answer. So I'm hoping for some direct help.

I'm guessing you noticed that the link they posted for the downloaded ota is the gn22000 model correct? yours is CPH (as i saw you stated) so i was just double-checking to make sure you didn't download the wrong variant's ota..
