I tried to install a new theme on jasmine rom. I rebooted and phone said updating app, and remained on update app for over 5 minutes.So I rebooted and the phone remained in the jasmine boot screen. I knew I had a problem so i rebooted into recovery, did a complete wipe and installed my backup and rebooted. The phone started to reboot (Lg splash screen) and then stopped. The screen went dark and my red and blue LED lights started blinking. I tried to get back into recovery manually. I was able to get to stock recovery, hit factory reset and instead of going to TWRP, it went back to the black screen and the blinking LED lights. Same results occurred when I hit safe boot.
I also tried to get in DL mode with the volume up button. Instead, the LG splashscreen came on for less than a second, the screen went black and the blinking lights came again. I tried ADB but it won't recognize my phone. Any suggestions, or is this a goner? Thanks for your help.
So to install jasmine you had to have twrp installed. Then you said you booted into recovery and the stock recovery came up and you said yes to factory reset. that scenario of booting into stock recovery and saying yes was only the first time after installing twrp. everytime after that if I choose to boot to recovery twrp screen comes up first. Confused cause I'm nut sure if this is normal behavior with some phones that have been bumped.

If you boot into recovery from the advanced reboot menu, it goes directly to TWRP. However, when you use the hard key combination, it goes to the stock recovery and when you select factory reset, it is supposed to go to TWRP. It doesn't. I have a new phone on the way.
I accidentally took the update from Verizon and when I went to install it I got the same thing. I would get the lg/android bout screen and then it would go to twrp. I tried to reboot, wipe everything and restore back up and nothing changed.
Then I found this post

This saved me. When in twrp you go to the advanced tab click terminal command, then select. Just follow this directions and you might be golden.
This just worked for me and I didn't have to flash back to stock. I know this says it is for the g2, but it worked. Good luck.

So any idea what exactly went wrong here? How did a basic "theme" apparently completely bork your recovery and brick your phone??

I have no clue what happened; Verizon sent me a new phone. I don't have a clue whether this was related to the theme, or not. It may have been an unrelated hardware issue.

ok im stuck on my boot logo for my motorola droid 2. its a liberty logo, no the original M logo, ive held in x when it starts up and then it takes me to the triangle and then i hold the search button down and then it takes me to a menu saying this:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
ive already tried just rebooting it and then it does the same thing again and just gets stuck at the boot logo, so please help. thanks!
Have you tried pulling the battery out for about 15 seconds?
See if that clears it up.
with it unplugged and turned off?
Yes Sir. Unlug it and turn it off.
yes i just did that and it didnt work, its still at the boot logo, the only thing i can do is go to that recovery menu that i said about in my 1st post, but idk what to do when i get there?
Try wipe data/factory reset.
Obviously you're gonna have to tweak your settings again.
okay, is there anyway i can get my settings back like a recovery? or something
Well, you might want to head in to the Droid 2 forums to get better responses related to your phone.
Here is a link to start with.
As far as recovery goes, I don't think you have a custom recovery installed. Sounds like you have a stock phone. So, there's no way of backing your stuff up.
i have it rooted and a rom on it but nothing custom, but thanks for all your help

If you have it rooted, did you ever perform a Nandroid backup ?
Do you have a non standard recovery installed?
EDIT: Sorry re-read last few post and come to conclusion that you probably don't.
sorry but doesnt rds lite 4.8 and the correct sbf file let u flash back to stock?
If your phone is rooted then you have changed your kernal.It might be a fault with the kernal.I had a similar thing happen in an SGS.It was rooted and when i flashed the kernal againh via CWM it also got stuck on the same as you.The only way to solve it was boot to download mode and flash via odin again.
Was just curious, was hopin to send my phone back in to att today (due to a power button that no longer works) since i got a replacement. Unrooted back to stock and deleted all of my photos and everything and then got stuck on a bootloop so im unable to do a hard reset. Unfortunately I can't even get into 3e recovery since my power button is broken, so is it possible to do a hard/factory reset to wipe the internal SD from odin or any other program? much appreciated
If the phone is on and booted up, you can do a wipe data/factory reset from the settings menu within the phone:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset in Gingerbread
Menu > Settings > Back up and reset > Factory data reset in ICS
If your phone is not on, there are several ways to boot it:
adb reboot
flash stock firmware in Odin with reboot checked
etc.
You can also get into recovery with:
adb reboot recovery

I'll look into adb recovery. The phone is not on for clarification. It's stuck in a permanent bootloop.

If it were my phone, I would flash the stock firmware package in Odin, with reboot checked. Once the flash completes, the phone should boot normally. Then you should be able to wipe data/factory reset from the phone.
or try the adb reboot recovery to see if that will work.
If you still have a bootloop after flashing stock again, then you may need to flash the full stock distribution. You don't say in the OP how the phone got into a bootloop, or what you flashed to stock from.

Apologies again for not being specific and I appreciate your efforts in going back and forth with me.
The reason my phone is currently in a bootloop was when I followed the process on your thread for preparing my phone to be sent back for warranty replacement. Using odin I flashed the stock image (UCKH7, and my flash counter reads NO which is good) and after the phone extracted the files and Odin said I was bone stock, my phone just continuously reboots on the att startup animation (which you predicted and outlined could be fixed by going into 3e recovery and doing a factory reset but since my power buttons rubbish, I can't select any options even if I do get into 3e recovery)
Edit: I also flashed to stock from AOKP and I even followed through your process a second time thinking that re-flashing the stock firmware would remove the bootloop, however no luck

You probably don't need the bootloaders. I think adb reboot recovery is your best option. Let me know if it works.

Yeah that's what I figured as well since I can't select any options. It's Alright, luckily I deleted anything personal before even doing the unroot. And the Odin flash definitely unlinked all of my account info from the phone so I was just asking for my own peace of mind and curiosity. Just dropped the phone off in the mail this morning, thank you both for your help. You guys rule.

Yeah I can't see any other option. Should be fine though...it has stock firmware and kernel on it now, even with the bootloop. He can just say, my phone went crazy and I don't know why!

Your phone is not bricked. When the phone is stuck on the droid eye, hold the power button and the volume down key at the same time until it reboots. This will get you into bootloader mode. Press the volume down key to highlight recovery and press the power button to enter it. Once you're in recovery go ahead and restore a backup or reflash something new. Either way make sure to do a full wipe.

thats what i did i restored my backup and this is what happens. and i cannot push any files over to the phone because usb debugging is not enabled so there is no communication between the phone and computer at all
boot into recovery then use "adb push <path to rom> /mnt/sdcard/" to put a rom on the sd then install. Make sure you use a boot.img that came with the rom if it has one as it may cause problems if you don't.
Edit: you will need another rom for this and I would recommend reflashing a boot.img

USB debugging has nothing to do with ADB in recovery, recovery basically has its own kernel and ADB is always enabled. Are you saying ADB doesn't work in recovery? If so, it is probably a driver problem with your computer. Also, some phones randomly get corrupt /data/ partitions (mine used to get them until I started using DSB's stock kernel with system write) and the only way to fix it is to do a factory reset or restore a backup. This might be what happened to you. If so just do a factory restore and see if it will boot.
Perhaps reflashing recovery? Worth a try if ur still having problems, also try installing then uninstalling htcs sync app.

Just be sure to re lock before you flash the ruu

So last night I rooted my phone using the All in one toolkit. Flashed hyperdrive rom and after getting everything setup I went to bed.
Some apps were kind of freezing this morning so I tried to boot into recovery and it wouldn't let me. It shows the loading recovery at the top then it just boots my phone up. The only way I can get into Recovery atm is by using the all in one toolkit. Anyone had this issue before? I wipe cache, dalvik, and fixed permissions. Still can't boot into recovery without the toolkit.
if you can get into recovery by typing adb reboot recovery in cmd then maybe your finger may be slipping when holing the buttons to boot into recovery.

Hold power + volume up, right when you feel it vibrate, let go of the power.
Yeah I tried all that. I ended up having to wipe everything and flash my first back up when i rooted my phone.... Thanks for the help thought.
I have the same issue. Stock, rooted, TWRP... I can use adb reboot recovery, but using the hardware buttons doesn't work. Any help is appreciated!
This started with my trying Online Nandroid Backup from the Play store, which I've used on my previous Android phones. I made a backup with it (I had TWRP v2.8.2.0) while Jasmine 4.0 was up and running, and then I booted to recovery, made a regular backup directly in recovery, then wiped and tried to restore the backup that Online Nandroid created. I saw something in the restore log about uboot partition. It restored the rest of my partitions fine. Then I made a bad choice and I told TWRP to reboot. I thought I should still be able to get into TWRP even if the ROM won't boot, but negative.
The only thing I can get into is the menu to choose Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Power Off, Continue Boot, and I think there's one other option.
I've tried them all. I've tried leaving the battery out for more than a minute and then trying again. No matter what, after a brief show of the LG logo, the screen goes dark and the notification LED toggles between green and orange repeatedly.
No ROM booting, not even starting, no recovery at all. The computer doesn't see it in this state. I've tried LGMLauncher.exe, LG Flash Tool 2014, and as I expected nothing will see it, which makes sense.
Any ideas? I expect I'm SOL.
Thanks for your time.
looks like you have stock recovery and that's it. Have you tried getting it in to download mode?

Hi, thanks for your suggestion.
Maybe you mean something other than "Stock Recovery"? I had TWRP on there previous to restoring the backup, and the backup had TWRP in it too. All options from the menu resulted in the same Green-Orange-Green, etc LED.
I just got home with a replacement. Ugh.
Something like that happened to me.once the whole lg blank screen then the led lights... I just flashed a stock ROM with the flash tools and solved me problem
