I am trying to get back to stock with the Oreo ROM just released.
I had LoS 8.1 installed and used TWRP to flash the stock one on top.
I get !lock the boatloader on startup then it goes to the pink screen for eternity with a flashing blue LED until it drains the battery dead, also the phone gets very hot on this pink screen.
I tried all combinations of button presses to get into safe mode or do a factory reset but nothing seems to work and also LG Bridge does not see the phone when I turn it on or in the pink screen.
Any help getting this phone back to operational would be greatly appreciated. :good::highfive:

download a new recovery image,flash it through your pc and factory reset
My phone was running at about 60% battery last night, and working fine. It was in my pocket and it vibrated. I was unable to turn it on or reboot it, even after removing the battery. I tried using the battery from my wife's S2 but still no luck. I tried connecting the power supply but it still wouldn't boot so I left it charging overnight.
This morning it alternately flashed a fully green battery and a fully black battery. If I press and hold the power button it starts the boot process - I get past the Samsung splash screen and see the first "Resurrection Remix" splash screen, but then it reverts to displaying the green battery.
Any ideas for how I can revive the phone??

Ok We cant say its bricked!! Because its booting up but not coming to homescreen rite? Are u able to get into recovery or download mode?? If ur able o then wipe the data cache and dalvik cache, reinstall the ROM again.. If Recovery doesnt shw up.. Then Use ODIN to flash original fw!! Even if u still couldn get it.. Order a USB JIG from Ebay and try getting into DOWNLOAD MODE!! Even after this its still working means ITS BRICKED !!
Start download mode and the flash a new stock firmware . And your phone isnt bricked .!
This is why I always make a backup.
If you can get into download mode you can fix it, if you can't it's a service centre job. Pretty simple really.
Try cleaning charging port..

Uh oh...I managed to get into Recovery mode, did a factory reset and kicked off a re-install of the Resurrection Remix ROM from the external SD and it's hung at 50% (for 10 mins now) - at the "Extracting /system..." stage. I daren't interrupt it.
Any ideas???
Yes stop messing
1: If you dint have to save anything, wipe better to full wipe
Flash a stock Rom using Odin, than start again with custom roms.
OR
2: download your custom Rom again and flash, might be corrupt download.

So it's OK to interrupt this ROM flash, even though it's stuck at 50%? Should I just hold the power button or remove the battery??
pull the battery
But I say flash stock Rom first, lengthy procedure I know, but safer
OK I decided to reflash RR 2.3, which had been running fine for a couple of weeks previously. Immediately after flashing (which worked OK) the boot process wouldn't complete - it got as far as the RR splash screen then died (screen blank, and needed a long press on the power button to restart).
This happened several times. Eventually I removed and replaced the battery and it finally booted.
Does this sound like a hardware problem? I've noticed that the phone often runs quite warm, but I don't know if that's normal.
You have to flash stock rom, only way to know if there is something wrong with your phone, run it for couple days.
Now to the heat issue, it is due to
1: modem
2: kernel
3: both
Hi, my phone locked up while it was in my pocket, I took the battery out and put it back in and now it is stuck running the Sonly logo over and over.
It runs the logo, then the screen dims ,and the light in the upper right hand corner glows blue and then the cycle repeats.
I have had the battery out for an hour or so and that did not help. I cannot access xrecovery , I cannot connect to pc companion, whjen I plug the charger in it automatically statrs the logo boot screen even with me not turning it on?
Any ideas? thanks

Locked or unlocked bootloader?
If you can't access your recovery only chance would be to flash tool stock firmware via flashtool

Hello. I'm new to the forum, and the issue that brought me here as had me fulling my hair out of the last three days.
I'll try my best to make this short as possible. I have (obviously) AT&T Lg Optimus G (E970) that was running 4.0.4. i rooted and unlocked it and flashed a cm 10.1 using TWRP. Yesterday tried to flash a zip for a transparent status bar mod. But the flash resulted in CM getting stuck on the splash screen. So i booted in TWRP recovery mode to restore from a recent backup. In the midst of wiping my rom and going to restore, i guess my phone died (which was weird because it had a substantial charge). Then it would no longer power on, and the only was i could get ANY response was by plugging it on the charger. All i get it the red indicator light. my phone will only turn on when plugged into the computer. from there the only two thing i can do is enter download mode and boot. and when i try to boot, i will get the lg logo for a moment and the the screen cuts out and goes back the the flashing red light.
so I trien the LGNPST method.
i downloaded the auto LGNPST and installed just fine. downloaded teenybin and lg stock bin. i've tried to flash both (put phone into download mode, select the dll and select the bin file). what happens is everything starts off fine, then when it gets to 67% the phone reboots, then goes back to the flashing red indicator light, and a message on LGNPST will pop up saying the phone has been disconnected, and to reconnect to continue. so i'll unplug the phone, plug it back in, and put it in download mode, and hit continue. LGNPST will say complete but the phone will still be just sitting in download mode. and if i unplug it, it's goes back to square one (red flashing indicator light)
EDIT: i was flashing the v11c stock bin. i just flashed the v20j bin and now we're boot looping while plugged in (lg logo for about 2 seconds, shut off, repeat) progress???
SO SO SORRY FOR THE LONG READ. Just trying to give as much info as possible hoping it helps.
My question is, is this a hard or a soft brick, and do i have any options left? after researching on here i'm hoping JTAG isn't my only option (I don't have the time or funds to go that route) and i saw someone mention taking it back to at&t, butIi don't think that would help me any since rooting the phone voids the warranty, correct?
I'd be eternally grateful for ANY advice. i'm at my wits end, and i've been google researching this for so long i'm starting not to even comprehend what i'm reading. PLEASE HELP!! And thank you so much in advance.

If it is hard bricked when connected to computer it will show up in device manager as QDUSB Device or something similar. You could try to do a factory reset with button combo, be sure phone is powered off then hold power and volume down until menu shows up.
You Can Also Try TeenyBin If Factory Reset Does Not Work

thanks for the reply guys. it looks like my phone is showing up in the device manager under ports as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM3)" is that a good sign? i'm going to try flashing teenybin again.

Yes, you are not dead in the water. Proceed, young grasshopper.

All the custom, unofficial 4.2.2 roms I found on XDA require that you be on the latest LG 4.1.2 OTA.
There are also links to stock rom and kernel so you don't have to mess with LGPT whatever. No need to do OTA etc, if you flash this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219953
I also found TWRP to be far easier to install, which is installed by default I think with FreeGee. But you can find thread for the latest TWRP 2.6. TWRP makes flashing and wiping cache/dalvik super easy.
Ok, so i'm starting to think this is a battery issue as opposed to a hardware issue. i could still be wrong. I've flashed the stcok rom after stock rom. When i plug my phone into a computer usb port it LG logo boot loops (and this is the only way i can get to download mode), but when i plug it into the usb wall charger, i just get the red flashing light and no other response. when it's not plugged in i get nothing.It's still showing up as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port" in my device manager and i can still get to dpownload mode just fine, so i know all isn't "according to what i've read and been told". So i'm running out of fixes. I did come accross a thread on here suggesting i unplug the battery and plug it back up. So i'll be getting the tools and praying that works.
I did also come across an interesting thread on another forum. They were saying how id you allowed your battery to drain all the way to true zero (which i think might be possible because my phone died in recovery mode), it wouldn't have enough juice to initiate and monitor the charging process. If this is the case, can the batter be brought back to life? a jump start or something (lol)? or will i have to just replace the battery?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP SO FAR GUYS.
When you used lgnpst to go to 11c it boot looped because you tried to go backwards from cm. If you did a factory reset afterwards with button combo it should boot. Also can you get into recovery after flashing teenybin to do a reset and flash a ROM?

i did a factory reset a few times, but it still never booted. and whenever i LGNPST, when it hits 67% the phone reboots and just starts bootlooping (if i flash a stock rom) if i LGNPST teenybin, at 67% the phone will shut off and the flashing red light will just come up. and after each a message will say phone was unplugged or lost connection. after both instances ill plug it back up and put it in download mode again to finish and it will complete, but the phone will just be sitting there in download mode. and if i reboot.... bootloop city.
i cam across this thread that seems to detail my issue perfectly. so i'm going to attempt a teenybin flash one more time to tryt to get recovery mode (havent been able to get it at all), and if that doesn't work i'm going to do a battery pull..

I found LG's camera lacking, but 4.2 has an update for that, plus the camera mod, much improved I think.
Running RootBox great now with 124mhz idle, GPU downclocked to 200 and CPU undervolted to 85, stable and cool. I don't 3d game on phones.
Glad you fixed it, I just hope someone makes a high capacity internal battery for us since taking it apart isn't that difficult.

Hi There.
I Have an HTC One M8 International Version has not been rooted just plain custom stock installed, it was working Fine, all of a sudden it went off and wasn´t able to be turned on, at this point it would just vibrates repeatedly and was flashing led indicator on green or orange (times blinking/at times solid).
I read on some other forums it might be a battery problem, so i swichted the battery with no results, kept doing the same thing. as getting deep into this some other peeps suggested it might be the screen so i changed the display.
Now, with the new battery and a new display i manage to get the screen to work but i just keeps rebboting (on htc logo) after 10 secs even if i power it off it will turn on and keeps rebooting, im able to get to hboot menu but no furthermore, wont go to recovery at all, and will restart boot loop when chose any option (fast boot, reboot or recovery).
Help please since it is not root, quite sure it hasnt been erased the rom.
:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Any help or suggestion to get it to work again, just as a factory device.
