What kernel and what firmware/ROM are you on and do you have a unlocked bootlooder?
Turn off with volume up +power button try stock kernel if you are on stock firmware also did you wipe cache and dalvik

stay calm its not that easy to completly brick your z ultra
search for fastboot and a guide for flashing kernel.
use e.g. the boot.img from your current rom.
enter recovery and flash a rom again!
there are a lot of good step by step guides so its easy.
more infoand another question.
The power button plus volume up trick didnt work, had to let the battery drain out. and i am currently running running pacman 4.4.2. rom and the kernel i flashed was revolutionkernel. after some more reading which i should have done earlier im pretty sure that that kernel was meant for aosp and c11 based roms. i have a different kernel, slimkat this time, i want to flash it and give it a shot but this downloaded as a .zip. how do i do this? the other one was just a .img and that was it. im sorry if these are dumb questions. ive been rooting and putting custom roms on phones for a while but im new to kernels.
red button to power off
you also have a tiny red button to power off the device if you open the lash for the sd card.
flash the same way as you flash a rom.
edit:
i dont think slimkat kernel will work but you never try you never know

where do i find the boot.img of the current rom. ?
so far ive tried two other roms, slimkat, and codename lungo. with three different kernels, revolution, pimped kernel, and slimkat kernel. the farthest i got was to get my phone to boot up but it keeps showing an error msg saying android system has stopped, and i cant get past that. I want the codename lungo rom to work so what kernel do i need to run with that? or is there a way to find the boot.img of that rom?

You need to extract the boot.img that's in the Lungo Rom zip file. Fastboot it using Flashtool or adb push it. Flashtool will be the easiest way. Once you get that on there try to enter recovery BEFORE the Rom boots from power on. If you can't enter recovery then that Rom doesn't have recovery built in. In that case you'll need to get it from somewhere. The Carbon Rom has a boot.img with working dual recovery and you should be able to use that one to boot Lungo as they are all CM based Roms.
Also when stuck with the PHONE ON and need it turned OFF. Press and Hold Volume Up + Power Button until the phone vibrates 3 times. Make sure it's not plugged in or it'll boot again. If holding those buttons doesn't turn it off, you're doing it wrong because it works without fail. Little something Sony put in there. If all else fails, open the cover of the SDCARD/SIMCARD sport and there should be a small Red Button.
Good luck.
Also note that all the roms flash their own kernel when you 9nstall them, use that first, then play when you knpw that thingsmwork. It sounds like you are trying to do too much for your current understanding.

Thanks for the help.
I managed to get it working again. albeit on the original pacman rom and kernel. I tried to do a restore back to stock and it cant restore data it says, i also cant do a backup it says the same thing. no matter. its working again and thats all i needed. thank you guys for the help.
I just had a similar problem,,,I tried to restore to the first nandroid (after rooting 757) but it stops at the Sony logo. If I do 2 restores in a row it than works....weird?

It reboots, and the same blue screen is up
My brother flashed the wrong recovery, I tried using the tutorial to fix it using fastboot.exe from windows, but it won't work as it can't find the device. windows sees an android device and I installed the drivers from lg, but it refuses to enumerate in adb shell, so I can't connect to it, any ideas?
okay after fiddleing with it a bit, I got the origional recovery mode restored on it, and when I boot into recovery and plug in usb adb can see the device, I have a stock froyo rom how do I restore from here, or can I reflash clockwork from here?

this only works if you have some sort of custome recovery, My brother had the wrong one for the optimus v (clockworkmod 3.2.0.0) and it wouldn't install any rom.
I just played around with this page until I got the stock bootloader/recovery back, however I'm not sure if this is what we want, you may want to try flashing one of the custom recoveries listed on the site, now that I have the stock I can re-flash anything.

you need to get into a custom recovery, optimus v press back, volume up and power at the same time to boot into a recovery, if you don't have a recovery at all there maybe an issue. so try and boot into a recovery and let me know what you have.

if you can't get into any recovery your device maybe permintally bricked, but don't take what I say as gospel I'm new at this as well, I'm still looking up more info, in the mean time you need to figure out how to get into recovery, google for key combos, also when using a key combo to get into recovery make sure power is the last button you press in the combo, hold down the others then power (while still holding the other buttons) and release as soon as you see the lg logo, it should go away quickly and after a few seconds of black you'll see the recovery, if the lg logo stays up for a while it's trying to normal boot.

if you want to get aospCMod on your phone, follow this tutorial, this is what I did for my phone works great.
Now my question to you is how did you use fast boot root tool to get back to home screen because I'm still stuck at recovery
okay I finally managed to fix it, I figured out how to use fast boot root and got a custom recovery, from there I could flash other recoveries, which was importaint because even though I could install any rom I wanted it was stuck in a boot loop where it would keep booting into recovery, So i flashed Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip from here and under advanced it has an option to fix the boot loop, then from there I could flash a rom and it's fixed.
Lot of work fixin' my first bricked phone, but I learned alot.

You need to flash that kernel when you install the rom.
I am going to try this right now, I hope this works, I've been trying for 2 days now going from stock to different ICS ROMS without being able to get past the HTC screen on a ROM
Before you do that you might try flashing the kernel out of the rom zip with Flash img gui, tell it to reboot to recovery and then flash the rom. The only reason I recommend this is that chads kernel will break 3d and mount sd via usb.
So I'm having the exact same symptoms as OP but I'm S-OFF and GSM, I don't know if there is something like the fix you posted birddog_61 that could help me in my case.
Unfortunately this did not work for me, I did a superwipe, flashed the ROM, and then flashed the kernel, then rebooted and still cannot get past the damn HTC screen, any other advice?

Curious question but have you tried any of the Sense 4.0 ROMs cause those work for me but whenever I install a 3.6 ROM(atleast the ones based on the leak) my phone reboots every 10 seconds, It's just a little odd that for such a rare problem, it'd be someone with such a different configuration that I have.

Well I'm on GSM so we don't have the exact same ROMs but I used Shooter Ice, in my case flashing the boot.img for Shooter Ice over Virtuous 3.0.2(a ROM based on the leak) actually fixed the bootloop though the system was too unstable to use. But try something not based on the leak since that did work for me(though none of those ROMs are fully functional).

Ok try this, go back to a rom that will boot for you. Boot up and download Flash Image Gui. Now make sure the rom zip file is on your sd card. Open flash image gui and grant it super user permission, make sure kernel image is selected and also clear dalvik and clear cache are checked. Click on the browse button at the top and find the rom zip file on your sd card and tell the prompt yes to extract the kernel. Now it will flash the kernel and ask you to reboot, tell it to reboot to bootloader. From there get into recovery and flash your rom like normal.

Didn't work for me(not that I really thought it would but I'm pretty desperate at this point), if he's having the same issue I am(atleast the OP had the same bootloop I do), I know in my case it's the boot.img not getting along with something, what that something is I'm still trying to figure out though.
I just installed this AOKP+Aroma Installer ROM from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580449
And I have NEVER been able to get past the Start-Up screen. It reboots every 30 seconds from the moment I press "Start". Is anybody else having this problem with this ROM as well?
I'm using a Korean Atrix btw, MB861. I would REALLY appreciate the help!
EDIT: Okay, so I've gotten past the start-up screen by skipping everything (setting up time, Google account, etc.) and now I got to the lock screen. Now, if I don't touch the phone at all, it stays on. But once I try to unlock the phone, it is 100% SURE to reboot 30 seconds right after I unlock it. Is there no workaround for this??

I hope you do not mind so many questions ... lol
you have to do a "format / system" is needed .... (in recovery).
then you'll probably lose touch in recovery, proceed with the installation aroma ...
up / down = volume
enter = power button
= capacitive return any key.

I already did that, twice. And still the same problem.
ok .... then try fastboot wipe (it worked for some users).
I get this also with all ics roms but im having bp problems that are probably causing that.. nottach 1.3.1 and darkside stripped down are only reliable,stable roms I can run personally... and even those its only in boot android bp pass mode. Cold boot linux.

In AROMA set Full Wipe, and try to install only one Launcher, and take a look Kernels screen, check your Kernel and select the correct, i think you are trying some FauxKernel try original 1100 or your kernel...
I've tried installing all three of Joker's kernels (1.0, 1.3, 1.45) and still my Atrix goes haywire. I've tried all kinds of installs (Default, Custom, Full Wipe, Non Wipe, etc.) but none have worked. I wanted this ICS ROM so bad! Is there anything I have to do before I flash this ROM again? I've flashed it maybe 10 times or so now.
Which is your Kernel? Try the oders, the firsts 4 Kernels, like 1100 and others, stock kernels.
I don't know if I want to try installing another kernel, because I don't want to brick my Atrix. I've tried looking for kernels that were made for AOKP, but to no avail. Maybe you could give me a link to a good kernel that will work for AOKP? It's been half a day, and I still haven't been able to use my device...
EDIT: I also noticed that I don't have any service, and the backlights for the softkeys aren't lighting up. So I now have three things to deal with: constant reboot, no service, and softkeys backlights.
you can install rom joker?
I haven't tried installing other ROMs... Do you mean this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445052 I'll be downloading and installing it ASAP. I hope the problem goes away.

I wasn't able to download Joker's ROM, however, I have tried other ROMs, namely Neutrino and the Official CM7 for Atrix. I noticed one thing that both ROMs worked properly, but they didn't have Google Apps pre-installed, so I had to get and install Gapps separately. Then, when I installed the Gapps, that's when the rebooting problem started again. I think my problem has something to do with Google Apps...
I have similar problem when I did install the AOKP from for the first time. It become unstable. I did fastboot to flash the wrapped the phone and install again with (current version is 37a) and it's become quite stable now.

The second problem is that the phone just restarts itself randomly sometimes :-/
And the last thin is that when i go in the dialer to call someone it happebs alot of times that the phone lags a lot there and it happens often that when someobe is calling me or when i call someone that it lags and the phone freezes :-/
Can someone tell me why is this happening,because of the kernel or the rom?

Thanks for your quick reply,right now the internet at my home isn't working so i will have to wait before i try it.
I have never used flashtool before so i want to ask you if anything from my phone will be deleted like apps,contacts or something else?
I have also made a backup using cwm before i installed this rom,would it be ok if i just restore the backup,then flash the new kerbel and after that the vision rom again?

First of all the flash stock rom you need to put the ftf file in Flashtool/firmwares
Then connect the device in flashmode and flash rom (device switched off and to enter flashmode just do vol- and put usb in).
When flashing official stock rom as much as i know you will lose data, and its better to have clean install.
If you flash munjeni's kernel and the rom you want, and if you restore the back up that will flash the old boot.image too, i mean the old kernel and that is not wanted.

Yeah buddy, its all in Sola section.
Folks -
I am noob here but believe me I did every thing to search existing thread and get solution to my problem.
Okay so here is my problem: My LG E970 is stuck in boot loop. Phone starts and it stays on for about 30-45 seconds and then again it restarts. This loop continues.
1. I tried Safemode and the problem still exists.
2. I tried to flash stock ROM with LGNPST by going through download mode and still issue exists.
3. I tried Tinybeen "E970_Original_TeenyBin-AA.bin" with LGNPST and still no solution to problem.
I am also not able to fast boot i.e. when I press volume up + power on then only LG logo keeps on flashing.
Please help me what I am missing. I thought flashing stock ROM should solve all the problem.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Okay so here is my problem: My LG E970 is stuck in boot loop. Phone starts and it stays on for about 30-45 seconds and then again it restarts. This loop continues.
1. I tried Safemode and the problem still exists.
2. I tried to flash stock ROM with LGNPST by going through download mode and still issue exists.
3. I tried Tinybeen "E970_Original_TeenyBin-AA.bin" with LGNPST and still no solution to problem.
I am also not able to fast boot i.e. when I press volume up + power on then only LG logo keeps on flashing.
Please help me what I am missing. I thought flashing stock ROM should solve all the problem.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

What happened before the bootloop? what were you trying to do? LGNPST should restore your phone back to life, I had a few issues with it though(at 85% program would display error, phone would bootloop), had to try different PCs till phone got flashed to 100% and phone booted as normal.

I had my phone in charging and when I removed it this problem started. My phone was rooted. But thanks for your suggestion - let me try on different machine because in my case LGNPST goes to 85% and then phone reboots. I read that it should be fine if it goes to 67% or 85% and reboots.

It's supposed to be, but your phone has to reboot and work, not get stuck in bootloop. I had to do it on a winxp machine for it to work, dunno why it didn't work on my laptop with win7.
Okay - so I tried on different laptop and still issue exists. Please see my two laptops are on Windows 7.
This is strange because LGNPST is successful in loading stock BIN. Also, Teenybin is giving same issue. Will give it a try again and keep you posted.

Teenybin is your best bet. After flashing press vol up to enter recovery and flash another rom. Teenybin is not a rom so the phone will not fully boot.

Thanks for providing response.
So you mean I flash Teenybin with LGNPST first and then flash any custom ROM?
But to flash custom rom the bin file should be on phone. Correct? How can I copy file to phone when my phone keeps booting.
Also - any suggestion for stable custom ROM - in the meantime I can keep it for download.
Appreciate all help I am getting on this forum.
Thanks!!

If teenybin flash was succesful (there are 2 teenybins, I used the altbin for best results), you should get stcuk on a screen saying google in white letters. Reboot phone and press vol up to get to recovery.
As for custom roms, depends on preference. I am currently using snowjb1.1 (stock with best gaming performance), but EG8, mydeodexed and artmod seem nice(all stock). If you want kitkat, flash the kit kat TWRP recovery and then flash any kitkat rom(I tried Vanir, beanstalk, psx, commotio, they are all nice)
So to flash any rom it needs to be on phone memory or I will need to source SD card and copy rom on that?

It can be on the sd card. If the TWRP teenybin installs doesn't read your sd card, install a newer one(I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.0 non kitkat version)
I used TeenyBin[AltBin] with LGNPST and now I am able to Fastboot.
At present I am in recovery menu.
Can I copy stock bin "LGE970ATT-V20j-Stock.bin" to SD card and install it with help of TWRP? Please guide.

Nope, it wont flash.
Bin is used for LGNPST flashing. You need a rom that is already packed and ready for flashing via recovery. Look in the android development section, pick a rom and download.
Thanks a lot for all your help. I have kept SnowJB v1.1 for download. Will update here once I am done.

I flashed SnowJB v1.1 and now my phone is up and running. No bootloops now.
But, I am not getting network i.e. no signals even though SIM card is active and working on other phone. I tired re-inserting SIM/ re-booting / Airplane mode on and off but still it don't show cell phone signals.
Please let me know what should I do to resolve this issue?

If u have bootloops issue you just need to format data/cache, sometimes internal storage.. through recovery.. Now you probably mess you efs.. In that case use Lgnpst back to fix it

Oh - I was not aware of that.
So, now I need to go to download mode and simply flash stock bin using LGNPST.
That will resolve issue? or do I need to take care of anything else?

Try flashing jellybean att radio in recovery, if that doesn't flash back to stock with lgnpst.
If you can quickly point to download link then nothing like that.
