Stuck at Verizon logo after factory reset. Rooted with stock recovery - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted Verizon G2 on lastest KK OTA. Stock recovery. I wanted to increase my volume so I made a change to system/etc/mixer_paths.xml. I created a backup (renamed .bak) in the same location. For some reason after rebooting I got stuck at the Verizon boot animation. So I boot into stock recovery (which is just the option to factory reset) and did a factory reset. After that finished, it rebooted and I got stuck at the LG logo. Did another factory reset and now I'm stuck back at the Verizon logo again. Any ideas? I'm guessing I'm probably just going to have to revert back to the stock firmware but I'm hoping there's a better route
Edit: Ended up following this guide and I'm up and running again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960

Stock on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock Image

I had Mint Jelly2.1 installed and everything was working fine.
it started when I had used the APK Hide It Pro. I was in the process of hiding videos and I noticed that my phone got rebooted and got stock in the Samsung boot up image with the Custom Lock image.
I tried nandroid restore, 2 images, but both also failed to restore / bootup.
I tried re-installing ROM and it was successful but during reboot, it will still get stock on the boot image.
Last step.
I used ODIN to restore the stock ROM and ODIN was able to install and reset. And my phone rebooted but still got stock on the Samsung Logo with CUstom Lock Screen.
What else can I do to fix this?
Thank you.
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. I assume you now have 3e stock recovery because of ODIN. This might or might not help. If you have any questions about recovery, please use the search function for information. If for some reason you still have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), try re-flashing an AT&T ROM and Kernel again. Everything you try is at your own risk. Good luck.

I had tried to restore/flash from recovery before ODIN and it all Failed.
Anyway, the last step ODIN restore and it was still stock at the Samsung Logo with Lock image.
I left the phone to charge the whole night and this morning when I turned it on, it was able to start properly with ODIN stock ROM.
I tried to go to recovery, and can only be done manually, and it was not the TWRP recovery but the stock one, with very small characters.
I tried to install Mint Jell2.1 right away but just reboots.
I realized that I might need to root it again and downloaded the Tool and re-loki'ed/rooted and installed TWRP.
Now, I am able to install Mint Jelly 2.1 and restoring all my apps.
I appreciate the comment.
Thank you.

Yeah, every single time I ODIN back to stock, I get stuck at the splash screen also. And rebooting to 3E (factory) recovery and "restore factory defaults" works great.

I am running out of options. I thought I am already out of this stuck on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock icon.
I had ODIN to stock I337UCUAMDL and reset, Ran Loki patch / installed TWRP, intermittently it will get stuck.
I flashed Shoshock 1.9, was able to reboot and setup basic settings.
I manually reboot to check if it was able to fix the problem, but no.
I am stuck again and don't know what is the next step for trouble shooting it.
any advise will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I got stuck to 1st boot image of Samsung with Lock Custom Icon.
I did format data/factory reset/clear cache/dalvik.. all of the wipe ootions.
I flashed a new ROM, successful, rebooted pass the logo and booted fine. I did not change any settings yet and I rebooted to check if it will get stuck again and sure after reboot, it got stuck again on the 1st image that shows up : Samsung Logo with the Lock Custom Icon.

[Q] Soft Bricked after Factory Reset - Please Help

So guys, this is what I did:
1. Did full wipe/data/cache on CWM touch recovery
2. Flash MahDi Rom
3. Flash D802 patch
4. Flash GApps stock full 4.4
Then booted up succesfully but found out I have no root
5. So I flashed SuperSu 1.3
Booted up successfully again, but strangely, I couldn't connect to Playstore of even Google+, so I decided to re-setup my device.
6. I did Factory Reset, then the problem started. After I did the Factory Reset, the Android Robot (one with spinning thing in belly) just showing up for 20mins. I thought, it safe to hard reboot since it's only a "Factory Reset" but alas, after I reboot I'm stuck with LG Logo
Then after 20 mins, I'm stuck with the loading 4 circels after Google Logo on Mahdi until forever.
I can still see the Download Mode on my device but I'm not sure if restoring thru kdz is my only option now.
Any ideas what happened and the steps should I take to fix my device?
Thank you.

N4 will not boot past boot animation after multiple flashes of Lollipop

I purchased an 8 GB N4 off Craigslist tonight. it had an AOSP verison of Lolipop per the previous owner. it worked and I could sign in etc.. I came home and wanted to clean it myself and reinstall a factory image.
I used wugfresh tool kit and flashstock unroot option and chose 5.01. it downloaded the file, flashed it and that went fine. device rebooted and I saw the Lollipop boot animation but that was it.
I let it sit for 30 min but no change. I forced reboot but when I go to the android factory recovery it says:
E:\failed to mount /cache and it repeats that several times.
i tried factory reset and cache and finally that goes away but still it will not boot.
I flashed 4.4 factory image and that worked fine but I am unable to flash 5.0 or 5.01 at all even after flashing 4.4 successfully.
is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

[Q] Un-soft brick my s5

I was recently flashing a rom on my rooted Verizon S5 via Safestrap on one ROM slot. I flashed the rom then downloaded the 0A8 kernel. Upon bootup, the phone was stuck on a boot loop, but I can get into recovery and download mode. I have already tried to factory reset the phone via recovery and I have also tried to put on the stock kernel again. Both were unable to resolve the issue. I have a fulll nandroid backup so wiping anything would not be an issue, but is there any way to solve this problem?
Also, when the phone boots up, it stays on the S5 boot screen and you will hear the boot sound but it will remain at that screen for an infinite amount of time. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Stuck in Bootloop

I'm currently stuck in a bootloop with a rooted (Prime Exclusive) Moto G5 Plus. Every time I turn on the phone or restart the phone, I keep getting sent to TWRP Recovery, and can't boot into the system. What I want to do is just restore this phone to the stock firmware and factory reset my device. Please help me.
Bootloops!
Same here - stuck in a bootloop since the latest "security" update.
Would love to some instructions as to how to fix, even a factory reset would be okay by me.
