I was messing around with my phone getting trying to get the annoying "insufficient storage available" notification to go away, I was able to by going into the internal files then deleting the app data.
I rebooted my phone and now I'm stuck at the yellow sprint logo. I went to recovery mode did a factory reset then tried to wipe cashe and a dead android appears with a red exclamation point. Then it reboots and goes back to the yellow logo and freezes there.
Help!! I don't have a computer at the moment, and no clue what to do!

I won't have access to a computer for a couple weeks. Do you know how sprint would handle this issue? I don't have insurance but I just got the phone a month ago.
If you can get into stock recovery mode - Power+Home Button+Volume Up. Try a 'factory reset'.
If that doesn't work you can always take it in and say you what every you feel is okay (phone stopped booting or whatever) and see what they say.

Can you go to a friend's place? Library? Work? Somewhere with a computer? If you have the file to go back to stock you should have your phone back no more than 10 mins max.

You won't be able to do anything. Make sure to always keep a stable rom backed up so that in cases like these, you can at least use your phone.
Thanks. Everyone for the advice I will have to do that next time, I took it to sprint and they wanted $100 to fix it!! Heck no when I can do it myself. The lady said it was a software malfunction hehe if only she knew I had been hacking away lol
So I am going to do it myself, I'll just need to flash stock mf9 right??

Ok I really screwed the pooch on this one. I'm not sure how I did it but I used the cf auto root and cw recovery and flashed the wanalite rom and everything was fine. Then I wanted to try out a new rom so I flashed a cm 10 rom and had no data except wifi. When I turn wifi off there's no little 3g icon and also I can't make calls anymore. There's no little bars at the top only a little circle with a line through it. Ive tried factory reset, flashing the original firmware, messing with the apn settings and so on. Anyone help please?

A little more info. I flashed twrp recovery and used that to make a back up. Then I wiped all the stuff you're supposed to before flashing a new ROM. Now here's where I screwed up. I then wiped the data. The one on the right that makes you type in the word yes to wipe it. I didn't realize it would wipe out all my back up s and everything. So now I can't get my phone to work. If I have to end up taking it in for an insurance claim what should I do. Unroot and use triangle away. Then tell them my problems. I really don't know what to do here. I need your help as I'm not very good at this stuff. Anyone have any fixes?

Real simple instructions there.
That should get you back to normal.

Sorry , you're unlucky man. You just wipe all partitions including EFS (IMEI/baseband lost). Only thing is sending the phone to Samsung service and maybe they will change the motherboard or reflash it. No ROM/firmware contains those hidden partitions so flashing your own will not help .

What does your phone display if you call the following?
Code:
*#06#
It should display a valid IMEI then.

I think that your phone is quite messed up, from the installation point of view.
You have to try to get totally back to stock.
Get your FW from sammobile (the one that matches country, operator, etc). Get stock recovery. Install both, then do (several) factory resets. It should work....
I would not go on very high level workarounds (reinstall PIT< etc), as you might totally brick your phone.

I had same issue on mine but mine is all stock (for now). I had to go back to the settings and pick network operator again in order for it to pick up the network again.
Well I got it fixed. I had to fully unroot then run triangle away and then take it to the sprint store. All they did was a hard reset (not a factory reset but something with their computer) and everything was back to normal. Whew thought I was going to have to get a new phone.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
hi, did you check first in your apn list if the settings were present (connexions - more networks - mobile networks - access point names )? If not present check on your operator website to get the information needed. Normally It should have helped you with this problem
Yeah I messed with that for hours. In many different roms. I think I did every thing I possibly could except for hard reset.

If.you can three finger back into recovery and have a nandroid i would full wipe then Restore your back up (even though people.say restoring wipes anyway..id wipe.if u.are using twrp do not format data!).if.your still looped you may have to try and odin back to stock.firmware can be found on sammobile.com had to do this the other night due to a bad nandroid..lots of fun lol.

Flash another kernel made for your device, or go thru the ODIN thing, your choice. this is for anyone who have that triangle.
Yes, I read some thread and the roms need kernel, without kernel installed which was has leaded me into that warning att screen. I tried again with roms above link with ktoon kernel and made it through. I was probably be dumb. Pardon me, lots to relearn here.

I've researched it and cannot find a answer. Say if you get stuck in a boot loop and want to flash a nandroid backup or something. The only options I seen with the buttons when the device is off or whatever take you into download mode or a mode that only says factory reset.

On the Verizon model I have TWRP installed and hold power on+volume down and when it says the factory reset I just go ahead through it. The phone still has all your files. It just ends up wiping the OS.
Just my .02 cents because I've been in that position.

So if it wipes the os it leaves the phone in a permanent boot loop therefore not working if you do that, no?

so i installed CWM on my verizon G2. I went into recovery and wiped data. When it was formatting cache, it looked like it froze because it was taking forever. So i held the power button down so that i can reboot it. Now whenever i try to boot it back up, it stays on the LG screen for a couple minutes and stays on the ground zero roms boot up screen. Is there a way to get into recovery from boot? I've flashed many ROM's on many phone but i need help please so i can get my phone back up and running. Thank you

Yes. You will get the factory screen. Do it. Press the power button twice. Trust me it will boot into cwm.
This is twrp but watch this video I made if you have doubt's. If you properly installed cwm which you probably did considering you wiped your data. This will work.

Short version: phone won't boot, won't go into download mode, won't properly do a factory reset (tries but doesn't do it), need help.
Finally bricked my phone after tampering with it too much.
I was on the stock KK rom released by LG themselves, no root. Reverted back to the 10c firmware, OTA to 10g, rooted and installed TWRP - flashed a Vodaphone Germany KK ROM for the LG G2 because I heard it had minimal bloatware and no bluetooth wakelock unlike the KK version I was on for T-Mobile (my carrier). It had the touchscreen issue which I never experienced before. Tried multiple times to go back to any T-Mobile LG G2 ROM using the LG Mobile Support Tool - no dice. Uninstalled and reinstalled everything twice. So I figured, oh hey, I probably need to use the Vodaphone Germany JB.kdz file, root that, install TWRP, then flash back to the T-Mobile KK version that I had before. Seemed fool proof in theory. Used the LG Tool to do such, it finished smoothly and now my phone won't boot. It won't do a factory reset (it enters the factory reset mode and it attempts to do one but just reboots). It won't enter download mode either. I think I'm screwed here. Any advice?
I found 2 guides, but to even begin to do the first one I need my phone to enter fastboot mode and I can't find out how to do that anywhere.
you say Won't go into download mode? What happens when you try?
It just shows the first screen as it tries to enter download mode, with the blue dots. The screen that comes after that doesn't happen anymore. It used to switch to it after a few seconds and then the LG Mobile Support Tool could connect to the phone, but it can't anymore.

Didn't work for me. Windows and Ubuntu didn't recognize my phone. I actually ended up ****ing up my laptop by overwriting a partition but that's on me.
Decided to take it in to a T-Mobile store and blame it on the Kit Kat OTA. It turns on, doesn't boot, doesn't factory reset, doesn't fully go into download mode - how are they gonna know I ****ed it up? I have basic insurance on my plan because the JUMP program is tied into it. So for a little over $10 a month I just gained access to a warranty exchange of my device which is set to ship overnight. Can't wait. Huge stress reliever. I advise you take your phone into your carrier store and do the same as I did.
