...well to start this off I pretty much simply put have my phone stuck in a bootloop without recovery that I know of. I a noob when it comes to android and had my phone rooted for the last few months when a few days ago my phone somehow got stuck in a bootloop and the only think I can seem to do it go to the factory reset screen where when selecting to erase all it quickly follow to going bakc to the hellish bootloop. If someone could help me out that would be so much appreciated as I need to be able to use my phone here soon for important matters. remember im a noob but I can follow directions! Thank you
i got bootlooped after marshmallow update. thats all it took. tried everything to fix, nothing worked. managed to boot in a freezer though, so you can try that to retrieve your files. i shipped it to LG, theyve been trying to fix it for two weeks now... but youre rooted so i guess your warranty is gone.

Today i woke up to the new Update for the vibrant. So of course i tried to update it. My phone is rooted if that makes a difference running everything else stock though. I did the one click root or whatever it was. Well i clicked update and sat my phone down as i got ready. Come back its at the boot screen where it says Vibrant and Samsung in white. I figured it was just loading the new files and just taking a little long. Well by the time i got to school it was still like that so i removed the battery so it would not overheat. Replaced the battery booted up and stalled on boot screen again. This time it made the opening music but never transitioned screens. So i took battery out replaced it and went into clockwork and did a nandroid. Reset it same thing happened. Tried that with three of my backups of previous dates. all failed. so i decided to wipe all data of the phone or factory reset. still stuck at boot screen.
If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated. if you need any other information just let me know.
same thing here. i've done all those steps. when i get home, im going to try and update the JI6 update through ODIN. i'll let you know what happens.

i bought a phone off ebay in december. the phone was working well and then i decided to start installing different Roms on my phone. the phone was not s-off when i was installing these roms. about two weeks ago my phone just started to restart. it does not stay on for more than a minute before it restarts and i have no idea why it is happening. i would really appreciate any help in this matter because it is really frustrating. i think it is a software problem because the phone does not restart when it is in recovery mode or if it is in bootloader mode. if there is anything...anything at all you can do to help me it would be greatly appreciated.

It would nice if you put a title to your thread instead of just [Q].
Anyway, if you suspect its a software problem, why not just flash back to stock and see if it persists? If the problem is still there, then it's most likely a hardware issue. I would replace the battery first.
Sorry about that .. it was the first time i posted something and wasn't really sure what to do. and i replaced the battery and the problem is still there .. i flashed and it still restarted. the weird thing is that if i'm doing something it doesn't restart. like if i'm using the phone as a hotspot it doesn't restart. but as soon as i stop it restarts. or if i'm using the camera it doesn't restart.
Did you wipe/format everything before flashing/flashing back to stock? Are you on CWM or EXT4? Some more details would be helpful.
yes i did that. i used superwipe. i am also 4EX and i S-off the device also. i tried installing the stock rom but it didnt work. it is confusing because once i am in recovery the phone stays on. but as soon as i turn it on it just keeps restarting. the phone boots up and then restarts.
okay ill get straight to it i root my lg doubleplay i was messing around with cwm i hit the option fastboot didnt read the warning massage not because i didnt care i get distracted easily anyways the phone shut off and stayed in the t mobile logo i try doing the factory reset hard reset recovery etc it doesnt finish the factory reset and it goes back to t mobile logo and stays there
i try doing the adb thing im having a hard time figuring it out since when i plug it into my computer i turn the phone and the computer only recognize it for a split second and then the phone goes into factory reset and then back to t mobile logo im new (obviously) to the whole adb and rooting is been a year now since i been trying to figure this out with no luck i manage to get my hands on a stock rom
my question is can someone give me a step by step guide on my quest for redemption since my wife bought this phone for me and i want to prove to her that the phone is not a total loss
im sincerely going to die trying to figure this out from a brain overload please help!!!!!! i also love this phone

ohh and i try flashing it i dont know (again) if im doing it right but its not working for me very well im using odin
okay just giving an update here i learned a few things on my own from adb i learned that since the phone is in bootloop adb is useless since it always giving me a error device not found for every command i put in the command prompt i also read in a site that well in shorter words the device needs to be operational and able to be recognize it in the usb i try downloading the lg driver to see if this would work but nothing it just say that the driver is up to date
i also try deleting everything from my sd card putting the stock rom files i found for the lg everything extracts fine except the system.ext4 thats where the framework and all that good stuff still i dont think that would do any good any advice would be appreciate greatly
hey guys thanks for any help. here is my problem.
i got an s3 i9300T to fix for sister in law. she apparently went in to telstra and got told that if it was her fault she would have ot pay for the repairs and she needed a phone while its away so she just payed of the contract. not sure what she exactly wants except for her data back.
upon taking a quick look it had a familiar screen. the computer triangle phone screen. im like sweet easy fix with an odin flash.
i installed a 4.0.4 version of telstra software(will look what one later) and it magically booted im like sweet. then encounter the sim lock. had to wait a day for the information so i left it over night on charge. (she wanted her contacts as well apparently but at the time i didn't know what she wanted really and i didnt just think to take out the sim.) ended up asking what she exeactly was wanting and phone was looking fine. tryed to update through kies and apparetly wasnt not able to be done on that android version. i left it another day and noticed that it was stuck on that boot logo/splash screen. i noticed i can still get in to recovery and download so i tryed to reflash same software. unsuccessful half way i tryed to use a 4.1.2 version that would not get pasts a tz** (replace starts with letters i cant remember atm) i suggested to just keep in on wanrrenty as odin hasnt counted anything yet. but they seam more for data recovery. should i try something iive tryed again or not tryed. or just try flashing recovery and trying to get the data off that way?
as i cant access stock recovery atm and its back to the computer triangle?
i know i dragged on sorry hope i explained correctly.
sorry fail to understand the post and your problem.
If its SDS you cannot recover data but you can fix with a new motherboard .
as far as i can tell i cant get the device too boot or accept new firmware, and it looks to be the sds problem but im not sure.. i think ill try and install a custom recovery and see if i cant mount it and get the data back.
I have been reading everything I can find and tried to figure it out myself but the more I read the more questions I have and the less sure I am about trying any of the things I have read.
My problem is with an lg tribute from the company called Textnow. My friend ordered the phone from them and was having some issue she decided to try to fix by doing a factory reset which caused it to be stuck on the Lg boot logo. I tried booting to recovery to fix it. The recovery was TWRP. I was under the impression that Twrp was a custom recovery program that was installed after unlocking boot loader. Best I can tell is the phone was already rooted by the company. Does this sound right?
I messed with it for while but couldn't get anywhere with it because I haven't any knowledge of rooting except what I read . I noticed it kept saying something about simulating actions and figured that out but now after trying to back up and restore and poking around that it says there is no os , I was hoping someone could help me figure out where to go from here as it isn't my phone and I would hate to damage it although my friend keeps telling me to just try whatever no big loss because she can't use it like it is so.
I am not sure what the phone had for firmware because I cant get it on. I only know that it had twrp 2.8.5.0 as recover not the usual android. I can access the phone internal and external through twrp and though pc and adb. I made sure to get drivers updated. I tried to flash the stock rom from its forum but it failed,. any info would be mush appreciated
