[Q] Phone unresponsive randomly

Hi guys, something strange happened, got my nexus 3 weeks ago and i right away unlocked bootloader, flashed custom recovery and rooted it, installed a few apps and everything was fine, day before yesterday while sending an email my phone got stuck and rebooted, took awhile and when it did i noticed the cell network being empty, i would press anything on the screen and it would do the same. So i downloaded the stock images and flashed everything according to section D of the topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2010312 and boot took awhile finally it started and i got the welcome screen, clicked on English USA and again the cell network is empty and phone frooze in the first screen only, it rebooted and it boots up with a black screen and i get the message "process system isn't responding, OK or wait" and press ok or wait whichever and phone reboot or even if i try to press any of the options, its stuck. But bootloader works since i can do fastboot devices or fastboot reboot-bootloader, i can also boot into recovery which is CMW. This is getting frustrating and im confused, can anyone help me out here? Thanks

RMA time. Relock the bootloader and ship her off. If reloading the stock images doesn't fix it, it's likely hardware.

Isn't there anything else i can try before shipping it back or give up?
EDIT:
I pushed CM zip file via adb and it got pushed successfully and i even flashed it via CMW recovery and it even said complete and when i reboot the device its stuck on the Google screen and nothing else happens..

Gong back to all stock software with fresh flashes is the most extreme attempt at a fix, software wise. What else would you do?

Hmmm, true...this sucks, no other option...thanks

OTA Bootloop Help

I have a Verizon LG G2 I tried to flash my backed up stock recovery with Flashify so I could flash the most recent OTA. After accepting the OTA update my phone restarted, tried to install the update, hung at a black screen but was still turned on. If I power it off and back on it shows the LG logo, some white text, then goes to the same black screen. What appears to be happening is that my backup recovery did not restore properly and it's hanging when it tries to go into recovery. It's almost like my recovery partition is blank.
I've tried to follow the instructions to flash back to stock, but I do not believe I'm actually able to get my phone into download mode. When it is plugged into my windows 7 computer with the LG drivers installed it shows up in device manager as QHSUSB_BULK.
Is there any way for me to push a stock recovery, or even a custom recovery to my phone so I can somehow salvage it, or am I permanently bricked?

I'm still trying to find a solution I will post here if i have any luck. I've dug through a lot of forum posts and I think what makes us unique is the fact that we have a corrupt or blank recovery partition.

Ive looked through a lot too. and its crazy how that would happen i made sure it was rebooting correctly before i took the ota and then when i did the ota bam! only screens i can get to come up are the hardware key control mode and the factory hard reset which both go to white screens after I do them both. every one else probably has not taken the ota.

One difference in what mine is doing and what your phone is doing. I go to a solid black screen not a white screen. It's very hard to tell my phone is even turned on. I'm having to look if the back-light to verify if it's on or not. I can hold my power button for 10 seconds through one LG logo cycle and then it turns off.

I hope someone helps us out. I really cant afford a new one because the warranty is void. I was going back to stock because of all of the little bugs that need to be ironed out in roms. cause kit kat is around the corner hopefully and my problem virtually is the same i might have had my brightness on auto or something prior to that.

Thanks for the link. I'm tryingto follow the instructions,but when I get to the step where i plug in my phone it just showes up as a bunch of failes partitions, and slows my ubuntu to a crawl. I'm a linux noob, is there a command i can run to stop this from happening? I also created a reply asking this question in the link you sent me.
Thanks for the help.

After following the instructions on the above link i was able to get fastboot status on my phone. It did not fully restore my phone however. I was able to flash twrp via fastboot. I was then able to boot into twrp and run the command at this link via twrp terminal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Thanks to everyone for all your help.

Ignore all the message, unplug you phone get ready to type the command, plug it in and immediately press enter to run the command. it took some trial and error, and i had to use this other post to help me out. I actually got fastboot working first, then used this post to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 to get download mode working, and to flash twrp recovery. After that i used this post to run the command line from with twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 . I didn't have to flash the factory tot to my phone, but i have that option now because download mode is working. This process will work, there is hope for you getting your phone back. I'm fully recovered. I decided 12B is not worth it in the mean time, but if you want 12B you need to flash the factory tot and then upgrade. There is a way to root 12B, but as of this time you are unable to get Custom Recovery on it.

lg mobile support tool stuck at 49%

HEY! I'm on the d801 as well and I've been where you're at a number of times, unfortunately. But I've always gotten out. Here's the conclusion I've reached. Trying to flash directly back to stock without wiping all the partitions first is what makes the RDTool get stuck. It's like the phone runs out of memory and can't host a full Gig+ of data since your last ROM is in the way. Sorry if I'm wrong but I'm only assuming you didn't wipe everything except the Internal storage. The good thing every time this has happened to me is that your recovery partition should be intact. Mine always is, and we're on the same variant. Another thing, booting back into recovery is not impossible. It's all in the timing it takes from the first time you see the LG logo while holding volume - and the power button, but don't let go. What worked for me was to let the phone cycle between off and boot power states twice until the phone is completely off again. You may even notice the LED indicator flash red. Release your keys if the phone stays off and immediately hold the combo down again until the phone tries to boot again just don't let go of the buttons. Once it powers down again, leave the phone alone for a few minutes. Come back and this time get ready to boot into recovery. The combo button press will initiate boot but don't let go until the next time you see the LG logo flash, then quickly release and depress the vol down power up combo and hold. May take a minute longer than usual but the reset menu should pop up thereafter. Tap power 2 more times and you should back into recovery. It's worked every time for me. Let me know if you're good and whether this helped!
Good Luck,

OK. So tell me, what ROM were you on, which recovery version and name are you using, why were you flashing back to stock, i.e. were you having problems, what kind. Explain as much as you can in detail. Need to retrace your exact steps to best get you fixed up!

K, now if you're only seeing the blue dots when you attach by USB your phone to PC, then you're not fully in DL mode to process the kdz. You should see a white wheel in the center of the screen when you connect and a viewing mirror near the base of your phone with ROOTED in red directly below that. And you're sure your PC is detecting your phone? You've the drivers installed? Because when RDT tells you to run the tool, you'll see some binary code in the viewing window I spoke of, the white wheel will turn and below it will be shown the COM port to which you're connected and a solid thin red bar will begin to fill a space in the viewer showing you the progress.
Also, be sure when attempting the first steps I gave you to boot into recovery that you are not USB connected. It won't work.
And, try to remember if your phone was well enough charged, should have been at least 80% full. It happened to me once that I couldn't boot recovery and my phone would go to fastboot like yours until I left it alone to charge and then I repeated the stepsvi laid out to get back into recovery. This part is paramount!

Please READ CAREFULLY
I used to be in your same situation. I thought I had bricked my phone for good. I finally figured it out. Here is my solution from my Thread.
Esteef said:
Okay, after 12+ hours of trying every method possible on XDA I finally resolved my issue. I will update the first post just incase any others care or fall into the same dilemma I was in.
The LG Mobile Support tool would not download the firmware and it would NOT ask me for my IMEI to download it either.
So my solution....
***
Installed LG Mobile Support Tool then Installed the LG Drivers. (FROM HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370
BEFORE I connected the phone to the computer. I opened the LG Mobile support tool clicked (Options on the top right).
When the dropped down opened, I clicked the (Upgrade Recovery) option. THEN, is when the prompt opened to ask me what my IMEI is.
Before I entered my IMEI, I connected my phone to the computer in download mode, then proceeded to enter my IMEI and hit OK.
This is when the LG Mobile Support tool SUCCESSFULLY downloaded the latest official LG firmware and installed it.
*** BE AWARE, with the phone connected to the PC, the prompt NEVER appeared to enter my IMEI.
*** But with the phone disconnected, the prompt came up every time. This might be the trick for some people.
*** with the IMEI prompt opened, I then connected the phone , entered the IMEI, then hit OK. BOOM HERPES....
Well I'll polish this up more later. I hope this works for every LG G2 Variant and not just the T-Mobile one (D801)

Sounds good. A full charge can make all the difference. I learnt the hard way! One or more of us will be along should you need further help.
I do hope you get this sorted! I've come back from the brink too many times to not believe you won't.

[Q] Nexus 10 stuck in bootloop - cant access recovery [SOLVED]

Hi,
I received a new Nexus 10 yesterday and everything was running great on 4.4 kitkat until the wi-fi suddenly started running very slowly and only on this device. I looked up online and found a suggested fix would be to wipe the cache partition in recovery, so I did that, except it froze halfway through. I left it for a while but nothing. The bar wasn't going up and the device was completely unresponsive.
I forced a reboot but now the device is stuck in a bootloop. I can get to the bootloader and my PC recognises it there, but if I try and get into recovery again, the little graphic of the android on it's back comes up with a red warning triangle on its chest (can't remember if that's normal or not) and then nothing else happens. I can't open the menus or see it on my PC. When I try to boot normally, I get stuck at the bootscreen but my PC can see it.
Thanks
EDIT: I fixed the problem by simply reinstalling android via ADB and sideload.

Bricked - Please Help!

So I was following the thread to get the back capacitive function back and when I flashed with flashify, it suggested that because the filename had "boot" as part of name, it should be flashing boot recovery. I didn't quite understand what this mean so I pressed yes. After a reboot. I hear the initial vibrate, then I see "Zuk Powered by Android" for less than a second", then it goes dark. And reboots. None of the buttons allow me to turn off the device. I also can't get any glimpse of adb or fastboot when running device list. Please help.
Please help.

I've gave up. I tried all the combos to get to recovery. It seems the keys don't register because reboot takes place before the keys do anything. I opened the back, and unplugged battery. Plugged it back in. Then plugged the device to my computer via the cable. Boot loops again automatically, I didn't even touch the power button. Positive this phone is done for.
I've had this phone for a total of 3 days. Thanks Cyanogenmod for removing a useful feature that led to this chain of events.

As an update.
I discovered download mode exists for this from here: http://community.cyngn.com/t/fixed-...nt-not-working-anymore-after-ota-update/221/6
If anyone gets stuck on this. My only approach to turning it off was opening the back cover. The whole back side is taped with double sided tape pretty shut. I ended up digging a hole beside the bezel to pry it open.
Unplugging battery requires removing one of the screws near the top left of the battery.

No being funny but way too many pple are buying phones and rooting without doing the reading first. I studied for months first
