My wife has the ls980 and recently installed optimus de on it. Everything was great for over a week until this morning. The phone get very hot and froze. Upon loading back up it will not find any networks and it seems that the efs partition is corrupt as all of the device id numbers read 0. Then after a minute or two it will always lock and restart. I've tried to wipe and reinstall to make it run without restarting to get the pictures off of it, and it didn't help.
My main questions would be is would the efs being corrupt cause restarts, how would I fix the efs, and does flashing a back to stock file wipe the internal storage?

Hi
I have no idea but there is something wrong with my phone.
About phone – HTC Hero, rooted, MCR 3.2, apps2SD working, 8GB sdcard, partitions – SWAP-0, ext3-512, rest fat32, recovery img - recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
I have nearly 80 apps installed, some Utilities, some system apps like uninstaller, Titanium etc and rest all games for kids.
Yesterday night phone battery was almost discharged so I put it on charge, forgot to remove it when fully charged, so removed it today morning when I woke up.
A friend called, though phone was on ringing mode it didn’t ring but just vibrated – surprised.
Just after that phone got lagging problem, whatever you do, there is a long delay, got irritated so switched off & back on the phone. It then went in the loop at start of the android screen where 2 pops up with sound, it just remained in the loop.
Couldnt get out of it, so removed the battery, tried again and it booted after long delay but it was as fresh as just installing the MCR 3.2, none of my installed applications were there. All my apps were missing.
So I thought to do Nandroid restore which I took couple of days ago with EXT data.
Booted in recover, wiped Ext-partition, Dalvic-cache, and the system data. Put it in USB mode, copied Radio ROM ver - 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 and Nandroid Restore files.
Then first I restored nandroid backup, booted the phone, out of surprise, few applications were missing which were there at the time of backup.
I installed radio rom and still the apps remained missing...
Again I went into recovering mode, wiped everything again, ext partition, dalvic-cache & system data, installed nandroid restore, booted the phone, and this time some different applications were missing which were there in previous try.
I assume nandroid should restore everything properly but then why the applications keeps missing everytime,
I have this problem since I tried Villain ROM just for trying it out.
What is the solution, I m just scared to reboot the phone if anytime required because it gives me a feeling that after reboot I will miss many applications.
This problem is very unusual, is phone gone bad or its OS or anything else???
Please help.
Thanks
u may need to format ur sd card and then do a nandroid restore. If not just redownload the apps your missing
I always format SDcard, then copy the nandroid backup to it but prob still exists.. and redownloading apps all the time is not going to work out because as soon as I reboot the phone, apps starts missing...
Did you remember to wipe ext partition? you didnt mention it
Yes m8 I did wipe everything, ext3 partition, even dalvic-cache & the system data as well before doing nandroid restore...
I tried restoring the stock battery icon using ACS 1.1 and my phone got stuck in an endless reboot cycle. I kind of started freaking out as my phone had been acting flawlessly prior to this and I was scared of corrupting my data. I had a recent restore point saved (I have MyBackup make one every morning while I'm sleeping) but that would mean I'd have to wipe my phone and after everyone complaining about how hard it is for them getting ACS 1.1 to work on there phone I was scared to test my luck a second time. I thought the only other option would be a battery pull which would lead to bad data with bad backups. So instead of following one of those two options I three finger rebooted out of the loop and immediately three finger booted into CWM. I wiped only my cache and dalvik and then reflashed 1.1 over the existing one. I then rebooted and the only things I had to do were reflash my Vision kernel and delete a few apps that I did not want that come with the ACS rom that got reinstalled. I assume none of my data got corrupted and I know this probably won't save everybody from corrupted data due to endless reboots but just thought I'd share my method. So far everything has been running just as good as ever.
My phone was running fine, all OK yesterday until I decided to do a backup in TWRP and then reboot. I like to have a recent backup just in case anything happens and since I was considering updating to 4.4 I made one. I've done backups before on this version of TWRP 2.6.3.4 without any problems and I also didn't flashed anything new.
The thing is that after I made the backup and rebooted my phone something got messed up and now the phone randomly reboots no matter what I do. I tried a clean install of the ROM (wiping cache, dalvik, system and data), restoring the backup I had just made, changing kernels, fixing perms and basically all I'm allowed to do from TWRP but none of that has stopped the random reboots.
It just boots, doesn't recognizes the SIM and after a minute or so it loops back to the LG logo. Some of the features of the phone are not working either and during this annoying process of booting and then looping back it is running very hot and draining a lot of battery.
My phone was running 100% before I made the TWRP backup which I've done many times before so I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. Right now I have no clue of what is causing this so any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help :good:
The last few days I had an experience that I want to share. Maybe it helps somebody else.
Last week I upgraded my Defy from Quarx's CM10.2 to CM11 version 20140724.
It ran for about two days. It was stable and the performance looked better than before.
Then, when I was outside, my battery was empty. I always have another battery with me, so I exchanged the battery.
Then, two seconds after I inserted the battery, a black screen with the following white text appeared spontaneously, without pressing a button:
Bootloader
09.10
Code Corrupt
Ready to Program
connect USB
I could not enter recovery, or anything else.
So, I decided to go back and flash the original Motorola Android 2.2 version.
On earlier occasions this worked perfectly when I bricked my phone, but this time, after flashing the SBF with RSDlite, the phone hang while booting with the android logo on the screen. Only after a few hours of trying different SBF systems, the idea popped up, that the problem was not in the SBF, but in the combination of the old Motorola system and the new CM11 data partition. So, I entered recovery and wiped the data partition.
Then the system booted normally and I could proceed with rooting the system, installing custom recovery and restoring the backup.
Everything is back to normal again.
Now, I wonder what could have caused this problem.
I am a bit suspicious about the backup method I used. I create backups with the online nandroid app. The CM11 system installed the TWRP 2.7 recovery. The first time I tried to restore a backup, I noticed that the TWRP recovery had a problem with the old (CM10) and the new (CM11) backups, because they contained files for partitions and-sec and recovery, that it could not handle. In later attempts to restore the backup I unticked these partitions and the restore seemed to work well. I rebooted it several times. Could it be that these attempts damaged the system in such a way, that only when inserting a battery, the corruption was detected?
Or should I assume that there was a hardware glitch when the battery was replaced?

iirc this was one of the bugs of cm11. if you let the battery runs completely down, it may not boot again. not sure if this has been fixed with the latest cm11.
Good morning.
After almost 3 years with no problems with a XT907, I have again an issue with it (this time, my father's one). Again, I come to you requesting help.
It all started with all apps crashing over and over. With an old XT907 I have for emergencies, the common fix method is flashing VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml.zip with RSD Lite v6.1.5 and all solved.
I tried that method with my father unit, and when it started again, all process were still crashing. I thought it was still nothing (just a harder issue), and tried flashing VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml.zip, just deleting all his data, to fix it.
When the process ended, it turned on and it had still the same problem. In this point, I got worried the /system and /data partitions got locked
I re-started, went to stock Recovery, and wiped system and cache. Then, went to Fastboot a third time and tried again flashing VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml.zip. Guess what? Still the same problem
The phone turns on, but ALL apps keep crashing over and over. I can't even take an screenshot, as it immediately reboots.
Someone know what happened with it? And... how to fix this issue?
