OK to start off i am not a noob at this, i have read though the forms and cant seem to find out why my phone will not come out of this bootloop. This started happening 2 days ago when I went to install a new rom on my phone. I powered down my phone, put it in recovery (Twrp), I wiped everything but internal storage. I then processed to flash the new rom. Everything went great. My phone rebooted and worked fine for the first 1 min, when i tried to pull down the notification bar the phone stuck off and went into a bootloop. I then tried to go back to my old rom and had the same problem (notification bar would not pull down). So i went to plan B and used the Back To Stock Form to restore the phone back to stock. The process went smooth as well not a problem at all. When the phone started up it allowed me to set up the voice navigation and name of the phone, as i went to update the prl and profile the phone shut off again, when it turned back on it starts normally and the goes to the lock screen where i am unable to make any iterations with the screen at all besides when it turns the blacklight off, as i try to use the knock on the LED light turns white but the screen will not turn back on (not even with the power button). Then it reboots to the lockscreen again and continues to do it until i manually force it off. I have tried everything from redownloading the firmware files, tried back to stock 3 times, hard factory reset, and reset in recovery mode. My phone is back to stock but i am unable to do anything with it unless i factory reset and go though the set up again, but even then i cant get a connection (even with wifi) without the phone shutting off and rebooting. Everytime the phone reboots the time reads 12:00am and switches to 12:01 really quick. I cant get a connection at ALL (I EVEN TRIED REMOVING THE SIMS AND AND PUT IT BACK IN AFTER BACK TO STOCK PROCESS.)
Im not sure if the application Dr.Web could possibly be making my phone do this. I did have it installed and did not remove before I tried to switch to the new rom. The anti-theft part was active.
SOMEONE PLEASE BE MY HERO AND HELP........I REALLY WOULD HATE TO DEAL WITH LG ON THIS ISSUE IF I CAN FIX IT MYSELF

god that is really hard to read...did you make a back up before you do installation? if so do a restore, if you dint, download another rom, kernel, put it in your phone, wipe everything except internal storage via TWRP then flash rom then kernel.

I am back on factory recovery atm is there anyway to flash twrp back to the phone without it being rooted? i tried to get the computer to communicate with the phone when it turns on but it wont seem to connect unless im in download mode or recovery.

I had the same problem except with me, i was just trying to change fonts manually. It went into a bootloop and i stressed dover it for hours until finally i found out that you have to use the lg mobile support tool (you can find it in one of these threads on the lg g2) and revert it back to stock. That fixed it perfectly fine. Its a lengthy process but simple. If that doesn't work you have to do what the lg mobile support tool does semi-manually with another program lg flash tool which is longer but just as simple if you follow the directions given in the thread to the letter.

they have coders there, I'm sure if they really want to know they can figure it out. If you send it in to get it fix out of your own pockets (meaning you pay them) then i'm sure they dont care, but if you want a replacement due to warranty then it may be a different story.

I eneded up restoreing my phone back to stock and took it into my local sprint store it cost ne 75 dollars to replace the phone not under warranty (if u have sprint protection its free) i told them i took and ota update and it started rebooting itself. If you do get a replacement make sure u back up your efs files to a safe place on your phone. Theses files can become corrupted by flashing roms and kernals.

Not under warranty? Doesn't it have a 1 year manufacturer warranty? The G2 wasn't released on Sprint until November last year so it should have been covered.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Yes its still under manufacturer warranty but when i made a repair order with lg it said it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get my phone back and if they found out it was due to being rooted and flashing roms im sure lg would of charged a arm a leg to repair it. With sprint i got a new phone in 2 days or ordering it.

I downloaded the kies version of the firmware of the froyo update and updated the firmware using odin.
After i installed froyo, i wanted to root to apply swype patch and everthing went ok but when i restarted, the phone was stuck on the i5801 loading screen for about an hour
so i flashed the firmware again.
Odin saves the data onto phone and restarts the phone and the phone opens recovery mode but now it gets stuck on a screen saying "delete app data"... "delete files please wait" and it has been stuck there for about 3 hours now and even when i try and open recovery mode, it opens but then this screen comes up
i tried flashing multiple times but nothing works, cant even factory reset now
Please help me out..
note:odin for a change shows a disabled reset time box.. it is faded out)
add http and enter "dl.dropbox.com/u/26157339/compressed.jpg"
here is a screenshot of the screen at which my phone has been stuck for about 3 hours
Also suggest if i should go to the service center coz the phone is under warranty, i really doubt theyd do it for free considering its rooted but i dont mind paying up.
And let me know if there is anyway the service center ppl will know i rooted/flashed
Try taking out the battery and then putting it back, and press the 2 volume buttons+home+power until the phone boots up in recovery mode... Try wipping the memory from there
that is the entire problem, as soon as it goes into recovery mode it starts off like shown in the screenshot
therefore it is not displaying the menu (which has options to factory reset/clear cache) instead its jumping directly to the update sequence but then getting stuck at deleting apps
Try flashing a different firmware, such as an eclair rom. Note that your phone is 5801, so look for those firmwares.

k ill try flashing an eclair rom. I did flash firmware specific to my version it self..
But the problem is that even after the flashing is done, the recovery window has to open where the update begins and thats when the "deleting apps" screen kicks in and doesnt progress
never the less ill try flashing another rom/firmware and see
Hmm, that is weird. Did you flash the bootloader?
tried flsahing a eclair firmware but no luck..
odin runs for a couple of mins, and says pass but still the phone is stuck on the delecting apps screen..'
For some odd reason, my recovery mode is hell bent on deleting some apps but is not able to and is getting stuck and therefore i cant reset/ clear cache..
Do u ppl think this could be coz of the root??
Please suggest something, i dont want to know my phone is bricked for ever considering its not even been a year since i bought it
a second flashing of eclair did it thanks man!!!
it usually works if you flash the very first rom that worked the last time you got problems.
did you flash with your sdcard in your phone?
anyways im just glad you fixed it

So i would say I have a pretty bad problem. Randomly my phone shut off, and when i tried turning it back on, the logo would show up but the screen would later be turned off and only the buttons would light up(home, back, settings, search) THIS IS THE SGH-T959 Model.
I DID NOT root my phone or anything, and the state in which it is in right now i THINK is called a "brick"? My phone randomly keeps vibrating and the buttons stay lit up, but the screen is just completely black. When turned off the battery just keeps refreshing and show a little bit of green, but it doesn't charge past that.
I followed some instructions and I think it's in recovery mode right now, what i see on my screen is Android system recover <3e>. I have the options to choose "reboot system, reinstall packages, delete all user date, delete cache data, and format internal-sd card" I tried rebooting but didn't work, neither did reinstall packages and the error tat came up was E: failed to open mnt/internal_sd/update.zip(No such file or directory). I think that is fine though because i WAS NOT trying to root my phone or anything, this problem just randomly occured. I searched and found things about people getting this problem after rooting, but i didn't try rooting it.
I don't know what to do next, I can't backup any of my content or data since my phone screen won't turn on.
I tried all the common things like taking out the battery, etc, didn't help.
I also read about reverting it back to stock, but my phone is technically already in stock, since all i did were occasional kies updates, nothing that relates to rooting it or flashing it
PLEASE HELP!!!
Does your computer recognize the vibrant when you plug it in?
nope, and when i turn on kies it tells me to connect my mobile phone
And you have data to get it off before we can consider wiping it?
Don't use kies. It will brick your phone. Happens over and over. Use Odin to go back to stock and start over whatever it was you were trying to do.
what do you mean if i have data? If you are asking if i have my data backed up then no I don't.
and I don't even remember the last time I used kies, probably because there are never any updates. And isn't it like the official way of updating your firmware?
In recovery do delete user data and wipe cache if that does not work just reinstall stock rom using odin but go to download mode first. That is pretty much everything that can be done at this point.
If after Odin you still have wired problems in most cases it means water damage and you mother board needs to be cleaned or replaced.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has seen an issue like mine. I looked but did not find a thread or problem like what I am having right now. I have an original VS980, I was using TWRP 2.6.3.3 (the newest one) and tried to flash the new CM11 nightly and GAPPS, and it boot looped. I went back into TWRP using the vol down and power buttons, and installed a stock rom. Still boot looped. I restored a backup that I had actually restored and used before, of an earlier CM11 build, and that bootlooped too!!! So I have tried a couple of methods of restoring to stock firmware, and each time I am reaching the same point. The phone boots and the setup wizard starts. I click next, and the little activation window pops up, and just spins until the phone reboots. There is no signal showing during this.
I can get into download mode, and I can do factory resets. But I still can't get my phone activated, so I can't get into the stock ROM, to root or install TWRP again. Any ideas? Hopefully someone can help me by tomorrow, I am without a phone (I'll be fine lol).
Try doing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
And if/when you get it working, don't use TWRP 3.3, it's all kinds of FUBAR'd at the moment. If you use 3.2 you'll be just fine.

BUMP NEED HELP!!!
EDIT: More info, so maybe someone can see where I went wrong. I tried the WACOMalt method, and flashed VS98010B_13.tot to my phone. Someone in that thread mentioned that if you are on VS98011A then flashing VS98010B might not work. Then I tried a few times with a different restore method to flash a VS98011A stock image, and came to the same result, boots fine but does not activate and I cannot do anything with the phone.
gotta say twrp 2.6.3.3 is working fine here on d802 uk and has been for the last week or so ive flashed roms,restored from backups and all was fine -providng you've got the latest twrp or cwm youll have no problems
Sounds like you are zeroed. Check status for IMEI, ect. If good, you may need to "reactivate" online. If not, hope you backed up EFS, would be time to restore it. If both the latter fail, flash stock and go to Verizon.

Unfortunately no.
Edited ^ Our EFS isn't in a separate partition. A bad wipe can and will destroy it. EVERYONE should back this up after root, no matter what you're doing with the phone. And store it in a few places.

What do you mean "check status"? If you mean from system settings -> about phone, I cannot even get to that since I am stuck in setup wizard. I am planning on going to Verizon tomorrow, first thing in the morning. I have already flashed stock, so they will not see anything out of the ordinary. I am also bringing my HTC Rezound, in case I need to go back to that. Hopefully they can help me reactivate the G2 though...
There's a key combo to pass that. Go online on your account, switch theline over to the rezound, activate, back to the g2, try and let it go through activation. If it doesn't work, return. Sounds like your EFS is gone though.
Okay, I tried that. I can bypass the setup wizard by pressing vol up, then vol down, then back. I took my sim card out to do this. Under about phone, it shows unknown for emei and all the other settings. But I keep getting an issue, whenever I turn the screen off, it cannot turn back on and I have to reboot it. So, I think my EFS is messed up, but I have restored stock. I can get into the rom and look at about phone settings. But I am having issues with the screen turning off and not turning back on. And when that happens the phone reboots itself after a while.
I don't have my Rezound sim card on me right now to try activating it. I will just find it tonight and take everything to Verizon tomorrow. I'm sure they will help me out of this jam. Thanks for your help dude!
You are zeroed regardless, as you suspected, nothing to do but return. Back up that EFS next time! If you are stock, you'll be fine and get a "new" refurb. Someone will get your nice refurb when it's repaired. You're good.
Hello everyone,
So here's my story: I got a 6P short after release and it's been amazing. After switching from a S6 I couldn't be happier until 3 days ago.
I was playing around with my phone (checking for updates on the play store if I recall correctly) and I was going to switch from 4g to wifi. I went ahead and pulled down my notification shade and went to press WiFi but misclicked and hit Hotspot which was below it. My phone suddenly froze big time and this is for the first time ever since purchase.
At first I thought I'd wait it out since the device was completely unresponsive, home button didn't work and neither did anything on screen. Buttons didn't make a difference either. 10 minutes went by and I ended up force restarting by holding down power + volume up. First part of my bootup went fine but when it got to the android boot animation after I put in my pin to allow the device to start it dropped from the smooth usual framerate down to 1 frame every 10-15 seconds and it slowed down further until it came to a complete halt around the time the android letters appear.
My first thought was corrupt rom so I went ahead and wiped data from the stock recovery. I was running completely stock with no modifications whatsoever. That didn't do anything. Phone still froze in the same boot phase. Desperate I unlocked bootloader to flash a clean fresh image to try to fix it and to my surprise that didn't change a thing.
As I was getting pretty desperate already I had one more idea and that was to flash up to the Dev preview. To my huge surprise it booted and I jumped from excitement. So I started setting up my phone again. I got past the prompt to insert sim card and I was now at the screen to choose a wifi network. As soon as I clicked into that the phone froze up again and at that point I lost all hope.
I wiped data in stock recovery and shut the phone down for the night. On day 3, today I woke up and tried starting the phone and it worked as if nothing had happened. I went through the setup and set up my phone on the N preview. At a certain point I was planning to go back to the latest official build but for now I was happy my phone was back from the dead. Later today I tried to restart my phone to clear all running apps etc and it froze up on boot.
I'm losing all hope that I'll be resolving this myself so I'm reaching out to the community to see if anyone's had this happen to them before and hopefuly for a solution. It's still under warranty so I can eventually send it back to the retailer but I'd rather not have a phone for 3 weeks.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you for reading through my long and probably pretty boring story!
Have you tried flashing the factory image? If yes, did you made sure to wipe/erase the system, boot, vendor, and cache partition before flash the corresponding img files?
To the OP, is there any reason you did not flash to release version 6 instead of Dev preview ?
Also, any reason you can not simply do the "unenroll" from https://www.google.com/android/beta ?
It will require you to setup certain settings again as you will be back to a "factory reset".

DJBhardwaj, i haven't specifically erased those partitions. I was under the impression wipe userdata along with reflashing did that. I will try that tonight when I get home!
Xdafly, I only updated up to N as a last resort because at first I had a locked BL. I was planning to unenrol but that would've been too late as it self bricked after a restart.

Well I just did the erase thingy and my phone booted but wifi won't turn on. Enabling hotspot doesn't brick anymore but I now suspect WiFi might've been the issue. Any tips on how to find out what it could be and possibly fix it?
Edit: 2 restarts and a factory reset later I'm back to bricked same way as before.

That was my first thought, that was the restart that bricked it again. Safe mode shouldn't have made a difference since I hadn't even logged into Google account for apps.
After reading the very first post; sounds like bad WiFi hardware.
All the hanging has been related to WiFi or Hotspot.
I think you should get a replacement

Is your phone rooted and did you install Xposed?
Over the weekend I shutdown my 6p (stock rooted with April security patch, Xposed v80) and charged it. When it turned it back up I kept getting "Unfortunately, nfc service has stopped". Long story short: I ended up factory reset my phone and reinstalled EVERYTHING and I still got into bootloop. Then I came across
https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/113
https://github.com/rovo89/android_art/issues/28
At the end of the second post rovo89 (developer of Xposed) fixed the bug in V83. I wiped my 6p once more and installed everything with v83. Problem solved.
Good luck!
One of my friends was having me try to fix or at least recover data from her Verizon G2- it's been stuck on the LG screen for about a week, can still go to recovery/download/other basic screens but that's it, all she did was put it in her pocket and it stopped working. Unfortunately I'm REALLY new to anything Android (please forgive me if I'm using terminology incorrectly!) so I've been lost trying to work this out.
I found out today that she went ahead and got a new phone altogether but she asked me to pull the data from this one. Before this I've tried using LGFlashTool to reset the phone without removing the data, but every way I've gone about doing that has told me that "there was an error connecting to the device" or something along those lines, same in Alligator Toolkit 3.1 and even Windows Device Manager.
At this point I just need to get the data from it, but it's not rooted so I can't install TWRP (not sure about any alternative recoveries), and I can't root it because it hasn't been able to get past the aforementioned screens.
Is there a way to basically just copy all the data on the phone to a computer without a recovery, rooting it, or anything like that? Or is there any way I can install a recovery like TWRP?
Another thing is that strangely last night I managed to make it turn on and work properly, but when I finally decided that it did work and went to unplug it and put it away, it went straight back to the LG screen. I'm not really sure what I did to get it to work that time but I haven't been able to make it happen again.
Sorry if any of this is unclear, I'll be up late available for any clarifications. Thanks in advance for the help!
