the only thing I have on my phone is Fresh 3.4.01 nothing else and it reboots at will, like a 50% boot, ie: screen remains and phone appears to reboot, but its not liek when you turn it on........seems to be happening more and more...
If I do a factory restore will I lose all my contacts ??
what do you guys think ? thanks
Did u do a complete wipe before u flashed the rom??? sounds like u didnt....
You can export your contacts to your SD card for a hard copy, and your contacts are synced with your Google account. Google.com/contacts.

Login to your Google account and see if your contacts are backed up. If not do what someone said and export to your card. Wipe and see if you still have an issue if so try a different rom.
thanks for the replys
I bought the phone new,had the last fresh on it, was only 4-5 weeks ago ?
So i`m using it for a few days works great right, then i get into the phone and see what its running,and google it and see there`s an update available, so i contacted the guy i bought it from and he says no problem do the update if you want...
So i downloaded the file,plugged in my phone to the computer put the file where it told me to, rebooted phone pressing the volume down was it ? and followed the instructions....
So basically it did an update WITHOUT wiping the phone..... truthfully i did`nt have it long enough to know if it was rebooting before i did the update so i`m not sure if its the phone or the software...
These phone are so darn cool i love it to no end, and just want it to work 110% like the rest of yours.
I am an IT consultant and could use a good remote desktop app as well, any recommendations ? as all the ones I have downloaded so far have asked for full access to my phones every move ! whats up with that ??!!!
hey thanks in advance all here you guys rock

If someone else rooted your phone there are a few things you need to do. You need to make sure you have Amon_ra recovery installed and you need to to a nand backup with Amon_ra because it backs up the wimax keys. You also need to do a full wipe when installing a new rom wipe cash and dalvik I do it two times. Than install the new rom, keep in mind you will loose everything and always do a nand backup before installing the new rom. Now if your going from a 3.1 to a 3.2 rom update a wipe is not always needed but a nand backup is incase you need to go back. Hope this helps.
If you know how to root or are capable of following instructions to the end, I say unroot and try to use it like that. If the problem persists, take it in for service. My phone started rebooting randomly because the processor was overheating. I troubleshooted by replacing the battery, changing ROM, unroot, take it in. The phone got to the point where any data intensive app would make it turn off (maps, navigation, YouTube).

Okay, today I was about to flash a new rom so I attempted to wipe, but I got an error that the phone could not mount the cache (and later couldn't mount data). It says "E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command" on the next line "E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log" and the next "E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log". So I have tried reflashing recovery to fix it and it did not work. I cannot flash any rom without an error or restore my nandroid backups. I am in the process of trying to restore the nandroid backups throught fastboot. Can anyone give me any help on this?
SOLUTION: blancoisgod recommends formatting the cache partition to fix this problem
Did you pull the battery and retry?
Yep. Actually, the phone wont even turn on anymore. I will just have to return it to tmobile tomorrow

This is exactly why manufacturers don't want people rooting and messing with their phones.
So because of your stupidity and lack of foresight you're now going to return your phone?! That's laughable.
Now T-Mobile and HTC have to pick up the bill for someone else's ignorance.
Note to self....remember your name and never help you!
No man dont turn it into tmobile. Now everyone is gonna ride you because you broke it and your going to return it because of what you have done,not the manufacturer.
Go ahead and turn it in, but please read around a bit before you do this again.

Your right it is my fault; although, I am not sure what I did wrong. I am not a complete idiot and have been doing this stuff for a while. I did everything by the instructions and this happened. I actually saw this happen to someone in the G2 forum but no one found a solution. I see how returning the phone would be wrong but what are my options? I am only 15, no income, so what could I do. If I had income of course I would just pay for a new phone. I hope I am not coming off as a dumb juvenile crook, I apologize.

Did you make a backup image? If so you could just flash your recovery image and be golden. If not, then your options are very limited.
I was not trying to hurt or insult your feelings but we constantly see people who 'think' they know what they're doing with these same issues all day every day.
My advice is limited as well at this point because I'm not sure exactly what you've done or precautions you had in place for this.
Can you even boot into the OS at all? Do a factory reset?

I cannot turn the phone on what so ever. I was flashing my backup through fastboot then tried to reboot and now it will no longer turn on. I fastboot erased recovery, system, userdata, and boot and restored them from the nandroid backup I had taken prior to the error. The day prior I had rooted successfully and flashed the desire z port. I decided I wanted to try the HD port so I wiped and flashed the rom. When I rebooted it got to the lockscreen and it showed some graphical corruption then began to boot loop. I turned it off and went to recovery and thats when the CACHE errors started. Was I supposed to wipe the dav cache because I am pretty sure I did. I just want to find out what I did wrong so it won't happen to me or anyone else.

Between ROM's, you said you wiped. What did you wipe? Cache? Dalvik? Partition?
You said you're not too sure so I am going to assume you either didn't wipe something you should have or you did wipe something you shouldn't have.
Try this. Remove the battery for 10 minutes. When the battery is removed, hold the power button for about 2 minutes. This will drain any residual current left on the board. After the 10 minutes are up, try reinserting the battery, hold the volume- button and try to power on. We'll see if you can manage to boot into recovery at this point.

Okay I will give that a try thanks.
I had the same error just right now man
What you want to do is format the cache partition when you get the thing booted.

Did you do that and did it fix? I did that through adb and thats when it stopped booting, although I think the boot issue is unrelated to my current problem.
i did it via clockwork
Alright, I will try this if I can ever get my phone started again.
I recently got the rooted gingerbread update to my X well thought it would be sweet to get a rom for it. Tried to install it well went through fine, but when I tried to reboot it got stuck on the M logo and tried wiping data and cache, yet nothing seems to fix it. Any help would be great not used to the X as my main phone is the TB.
(also sorry I did checking of how to fix but didn't quite follow how to use I see I need rsdlite and full VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf is there any other files I will be needing?)
While reading RSD lite is windows ran correct?
So im kind of in the same boat you are. I am unable to flash liberty 1.5 because it gets stuck on the boot screen.
First off can you get into recovery?
If yes did you back up your original rom before trying to flash the new one?
If yes the best way I found to flash a backup is to do: wipe data/factory reset, wipe catch partition, then under mounts and storage format: system, data, catch. Then try installing your backup.
If you have no for any of these tell me and I might know a way around them. Like I said im in the same boat and have dealt with some of the stuff your experiencing.

Unfortunately I cant get into the recovery it seems to be broken I can only get into the stock bootloader I believe the blue one where you can update clear cache and wipe data. Wish I could get into recovery would be cake walk then.
Sounds like you both need to sbf. There are stickies at the top of this forum with instructions for Windows and Linux.
If you intend to flash a froyo rom after installing the GB update, you have to SBF back to stock first.

My brother is traveling in India till the middle of may and his Vibrant 16gb that I unlocked, rooted, and installed CM7 has stopped booting and loops on the CM7 boot screen. had him go into recovery and clear the cache partition, but same thing happens..
so 2 things,
1. do photos by default save on his micro sd (2GB) or on the internal memory (16GB) he has over 1000 photos saved on the phone that he is worried about
losing...
2. if he completely wipes in recovery will he lose his pictures.
thanks! been months since i have had my hands on a vibrant, otherwise i could remember these things lol
Wiping data/factory reset from Recovery will NOT remove anything thats in your sdcard or internal sd.
What i suggest you do
Get into DOWNLOAD MODE, ODIN, stay on eclair and transfer the pictures before something else happens and you actually lose it, go on a flashing spree and flash other ROMS
If you need help getting into downloadmode/ odin etc. Just ask.
Thanks for the info.. he does not have access to a computer, thats why he hasnt been able to backup anything. he has only had cell/internet 2 weeks since january ..
If he still has the cm7 zip on his sdcard he should try reflashing
Yep, if he has any kind of ROM still on his SD, you can erase data/factory reset and then flash the ROM over it and it should be fine. Tell us what the ROM, if any, name is before you do it in case its like a eclair/froyo/gb/ics rom and it may not work directly.
can anyone help me i have a g2 801 t-mobile version and flashed the cloudyflex rom and noticed i didnt have data working so i went to twrp and wiped everything and restored my old stock rom but notice nothing was working no wifi no notification bar and it keeps randomly rebooting and it cant be turned off i have flashed several backups i had stored and none of them work

I would suggest you to make a clean install of the stock rom!
That should fix the issue!

I had the exact same problem! Phone would boot into the rom, or stock and freeze after about a minute and reboot itself constantly. I had the updated version of TWRP and was flashing the new 1/30 Mahdi build and it happened after I did that! I tried flashing stock roms, aosp roms, and eventually did a Flash back to stock method, which non of them worked. I took the phone into T-Mobile and did a warranty replacement, got a new one overnight. Not sure if it is related to Mahdi or not, but it happened after a supposed successful flash.
I tried my TWRP Backups too, and those still restarted on me. Nothing helped me..Tried wiping the sd card, format the whole card, wipe cache, fix perm..
Hopefully you have a warranty or figure it out!
Good luck.

Should still be under warranty with LG. I'd call their support and give them the serial number to see if it still covered.
As far as the LG Warranty goes, all I did is walk into the store and show them the issue at hand, and he put in a order for a new one sent overnight to me. They send you a prepaid label and a box to ship your old one back(phone only). The new phone I have appears to be brand new, with all the crazy plastic protection on it... not sure if it is a refurbish or not. Didn't cost me a penny, as I have the JUMP w/ protection plan.
