I was under the impression that around 65 - 85% you would get the box stating you lost connection then your done.. I've used the program probably around 3-4 times now to flashback to stock, all the times I used it made it to 85% but phone never rebooted would also have to do a hard reset to boot it up... Well this time was a little different, I never got the lost connection error phone rebooted once then it did some more then rebooted a second time then kept on installing until it reached 100% Now can anyone explain why it decided to finish instead of stopping at 85%

Well I think I've created a disaster here.. sorry for the long story... It's been a LONG day.
I thought it was a cool idea to switch from the HD7 unlocked on Wind Mobile to Telus Mobility just to get the Titan. So I bought an AT&T Titan on eBay, unlocked it, got setup with Telus and was ready to roll..
Everything appeared to be going smoothly and as soon as I popped in the Telus sim card it read 4G on my screen, data worked great, voice calls perfect and I was smooth sailing.
Well just when I had to setup my phone to 99% completion ONE stubborn XBL game refused to install (PvZ). Kept asking me to retry or check my data connection even though I was on wi-fi.. So I cancelled it and retried about 10 times with no luck. Finally I gave up and did a soft reset. Well the phone stuck on "goodbye" for more than 5 min so I pulled the battery. Turned it back on at it sat at the HTC screen and would not boot past it. I pulled the battery another 10 times and same thing. So I left it over night hoping it would boot past it eventually but it only ended up draining my battery. In the morning I had to do a hard reset (holding the volume buttons) but weirdly after it did that it vibrated a bunch of times and just sat on a white screen. Again I pulled the battery. Then it did a fresh boot and the whole setup came on.
Well I went through doing my thing again... setting up, installing apps etc. But then apps stopped installing. Started getting errors saying to check my data connection again or try later. Somehow my data connection disappeared and I had to set the APN for data manually. Weird.
Well long story short is nothing has been working right. I keep hitting roadblocks during configuration and setup and end up hard resetting. Hard resets using the volume buttons always do the same thing.. cause the phone to vibrate a bunch of times and white screen and stays there. Hard resets within settings work ok as normal. But I keep getting different results. Like sometimes it will ask me to set the region and timezone on setup, and other hard resets wont. One reset caused Google to believe it was an iPhone I was using as it was clearly the iPhone version of Google home page.
And in the Marketplace sometimes I have US apps available in my region since I shouldn't and sometimes I don't. But now everytime I hard reset I don't have access to ANY HTC apps. If I go through the HTC Hub and try to get one it says it's not available in my region. Yet on my HD7 on Wind Mobile I had all of them and even did a hard reset or 2 and still got them back.
HTC Titan Forever Goodbye
While my problem is much different, there was one commonality that compelled me to post. I have an HTC Titan on AT&T and last night I was attempting to install one game and update another but it was giving me the "connect to wifi" error like you got. I tried to force it 10 or so times and it eventually worked.
However, this morning my maps would just sit at "Loading" and the phone was unresponsive at times. So I reset the phone and when I got to work the icons for most of my tiles wouldn't load, my and various other apps would crash or just sit at "loading". I didn't do any hard resets but I pulled the battery and still the same crap and trying to shutdown normally just resulted in "goodbye".
Since I am going to be sitting at my desk all day I decided I had the time to be more stubborn than the phone and just let it sit at "goodbye" for about 5-7 minutes before it actually rebooted.
EDIT: I just discovered that the app i started updating last night only made it 30%
Hello everyone.
After several hours of googling and going through tons of pages here on xda I decided to make this post.
First, let me explain when the problem started:
The issue
Yestarday I was playing candy crush when suddenly the game started to get "laggy". I didn't think of it, exit the game and left my phone on the table. A few hours later I wanted to use it again only to find the small hard drive icon on the top saying something about Memory almost full. I clicked it and it took me to "All installed programs". I saw that it had used 1.9 gb of the total 2gb and only 20-40 mb were free. I started immediately to uninstall apps that I no longer use to see if this could help. It did for a few seconds but the memory got filled fast again.
This is when I started to search the net for solutions. The first post I read was to delete some log files so i did that. But it didn't change a thing. I thought to myself that I should make a backup of my stuff so it wouldn't go lost if I had to wipe the phone. But before I got to it my phone shut down. Now, when I turned it back on it would just start Media Scan and shortly after shut down. This is where I am now.
I am running stock ROM (have never rooted before).
What I have tried
I found the stock ROM (4.1.2 I think) and I flashed it with Odin thinking this would stop my phone from restarting. It did not.
I have tried to clear cache from Recovery Mode several times with no effect.
I have tried to wipe the phone from Recovery Mode but when I am half way through the setup process of setting up the phone for first use, it shuts down.
My battery also drops in power after the shutdown happens, so in this very moment I am waiting for the battery to charge fully so I can try to calibrate.
Please let me know if you need some additional information and I will happily provide what I can.
Thanks in advance!
You have flash stock and it still shuts down? Hardware problem. Battery old? Try with charger plugged in. Flashing stock makes it like new so there should be no faults. Id say battery is about had it. What firmware did you flash and were from?
My phone (and battery) is almost 1 year old so im still under warrenty if something fails. I just don't want to hand it in and wait weeks to get it back if I can handle it myself
Yes I flashed with stock ROM from samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 so it should be good.
It makes no difference if the charger is plugged or not (which I find odd cause shouldn't it be able to keep awake while on alternating current?).
At the time typing this my phone is online and I am currently backing up photos (yay!!!). What I did was to not type in PIN code so maybe the sim card is the trouble (also 1 year old). I will report back when everything is backed up.
Update:
4 seconds after entering the PIN code the phone shuts down. Also it plays about 10 silent "clicks". Can't hear if its from the phone or from the speaker.
Update2:
Alright so I tried inserting another sim card that I have which has no pin code. The phone boots (but only when plugged) but shuts down after statup, exactly the same place/ after the same time as when I use the other SIM and enter the code.
I have had it online for 5 minutes now without typing the pin so my guess is that it's some setting it loads with the sim that makes it crash (but its a wild guess).
It's also worth noting that it doesen't drop in battery capacity when it shuts down ATM.
Id still say battery problem but could be wrong.
I see some sort of flicker on the screen just before it shuts down. I don't know if this could help someone to address the problem.
For the full memory issue i solved wiping log files in the "/data/log" dir, i had almost 1000 log files, 1 MB each.
Hope this is your problem too.
There is hardly anything left in the /data folder. I have tried to delete the logs (65 mb) from Phone/log but that didn't change a thing. Im going to send the phone to the company i bought it from next week.
Ive recieved a battery that I ordered from china and the phone works now. So the problem was the battery just to let everyone know.
Glad you sorted it.
My lg l9 wont boot up all the way. I believe it is fully up as i can feel the vibrating that happens after a media scan and i can hear the phone receiving notifications of some sort but the carrier (Metro PCS) screen constantly up!?
Things Ive tried:
Taking out the battery
Fully draining then fully recharging the battery
Taking out the SD and sim card
Leaving the battery sit outside the phone for about an hour then back in the phone
Using a new battery (The one I was using when it started having problems id only about 6 months old although I've had the phone for about 2 years now. )
I am willing to try anything but a hard reset as I do not want to lose anything on my device
Please Help
Edit: 10 min later: Talked to a "phone guy" who attempted the hard reset and said that the ROM prompts never even showed up. Says there's nothing I can do but get a new phone. I refuse to accept that XD
Edit 2: 20 min later: I tried the reset and saw the android thing and now its flashing on the metro PCS screen
Edit 3: 27 minutes later: The flashing stopped. Now the bottom keys are lit and the screen backlit but not displaying anything

I think I had this issue before actually. But it was a long time ago and Ive forgotten how I fixed it. Step one though is to try and use the LG Mobile support tool or KDZ flashing your choice.
Guys, I need your help.
So, I just received a call with my phone while driving and after a while? I realize no activity. I check & see that it is stuck on the "your device software can't be checked for corruption"
If I remove the battery, put it back & connect the charger, it charges & shows charge progress.
I can get into the factory reset using hardware keys but I can't get to TWRP.
I removed the sdcard and everything seems to be intact without corruption.
There was this one time it got in for some few minutes then restarted to verification stage.
It doesn't overheat.
Bootloop or just maybe os/recovery failure??
well if it keeps doing it probably but if not idk. so mine i was browsing the internet with firefox then it randomly restarted it did not feel hot so i pulled the battery and restated it and every time it would get stuck at the device software can not be checked for corruption and would stay there for 2-3 min then restart and it would do it again. Thats how mine went into bootloop. i left it on for 1 hour and was able to get it to boot in android for 30 sec but then resarted and could no longer get in to os. i could only get it in fastboot and factory reset(which did nothing).
Mine started randomly rebooting a few weeks ago. I just exchanged mine the other day. I would advise you to try and backup any important data now if you can or get it off the phone. I like my v10 but I'm disappointed in LG for having such a widespread problem like this.
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
As nothing worked for me & LG was being difficult, I have dumped the phone for now (will probably resurrect it when the MoBo is available).
I purchased a Huawei Mate 9 four days ago and I'm very glad i did.
Thanks everyone.
My Pure XL began acting very strange after I dropped it- I've given up on the phone really at this point. I need to retrieve my files from it, but I come to some issues. The phone doesn't even turn on 90% of the time. For some reason, if I wait a while and then try, it does start up, and either a) gets stuck at the Blu screen, or if it makes it past this which happens more often than not, b) it goes to Optimizing App X of X. Usually it gets to about 10 or 12 of 185 or 195, then freezes. It's completely unresponsive and the only way to turn it off is by disconnecting the battery. I tried waiting at this frozen state for about an hour and it did not unfreeze. I've been trying to get it to boot for 2 days now, and earlier today it jumped through all the way to about 100 of 185 but then froze. I've tried turning it on in recovery mode, but since I don't know if it will turn on most of the time I forget to turn it on in recovery mode when it does manage to turn on. I feel like not all hope is lost because the phone seems to be functioning for the most part, but I just can't seem to get past the Optimizing app. Currently the phone is not rooted but it has been rooted before.
Also, today I've noticed sometimes the optimizing app nearly finishes, but it is very choppy and laggy. I got to 187 of 194 and 182 of 187, but it then freezes like it would normally. Factory resets or similar are out of the question since I don't care about the phone itself rather the contents.
Now I'm having trouble getting it to turn on at all :/
so I no longer have any consistant method to have it turn on... I thought I'd get through because optimizing apps went smoothly almost to completion but froze..
I was able to start up in recovery mode and wipe the cache partition, but upon rebooting I am stuck on the Blu screen...
Is this forum dead or something?
Haven't been able to even get it to power on regularly.. maybe twice today and both stayed at Blu screen.............
Another power on, also stayed at Blu screen... can't find a consistant way to get it to turn on :/
This forum sure is dead
