Okay so I finally got my shiny new Nexus 32GB a couple days ago. Rooted it last night no problem. This morning I flashed Trinity Alpha4. worked great but my OC/governer/etc settings wouldn't stick. So I tried to flash the latest build of Faux Kernel. After flashing it got stuck in a boot loop. So I got back into Recovery and flashed Trinity back on again. Now it won't boot at all. After the splash screen the device completely locks up at a blank black screen. Went back to Recovery, wiped cache/dalvik, reflashed Trinity. After going through the "Android has been upgraded, optimizing apps" thing, it got stuck on "starting apps". After a couple min. I forced it to reboot, and again just gets stuck at a blank screen. I apparently completely forgot to do a Nandroid backup which I realized when I tried to restore it back lol.
Anywho, any thoughts on getting the thing to boot? Bricking it 2 days after I got it home is not my idea of a good time.

You might try and flash the stock kernel which should not allow any under/over clocking or under/over volting. Otherwise flash back to stock using the manual way here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 or download the Nexus 7 toolkit and use it to do the same.
Try WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. It has an option to go back to stock if you're soft-bricked.
Well I just did a factory restore/wipe (because Im SO looking forward to setting everything up again...) and it made zero difference. I'll try the stock kernel if someone could point me in the right direction to find a copy of it.
NVM found it. I'll give it a shot.
Ummmm okay then. I had my N7 turned off while looking for a solution to this fiasco. I picked it up so I could flash the stock kernel, and it had turned itself back on. Not only that, but it was fully booted up. Granted it's back to the initial setup after doing a factory restore, but there we go. It automagically fixed itself. Now to spend a couple hours putting everything back how it was. Yay.
Protip children: Always. Be. Nandroiding.
I've got a i9505 and I wanted to flash CM 11 so I backed up all my apps and did a nandroid backup with TWRP.
I downloaded the latest nightly and when I swiped to flash it did nothing for a while and then the screen went greenish and white and later just the kind of white that lets you know that you f'ed up and the screen is broken I guess.
Fortunately it isn't but I want to know what I did wrong.
I have the T-Mobile variant of the LG G2. I was using the latest CM11 nightly with no issues whatsoever then all of a sudden my device bootlooped. Now it keeps showing "LG" then the Cyanogen logo and then "LG" again etc. Sometime it says "upgrading apps" then "finishing boot" but then it goes back to the bootloop. I can get into recovery and tried sideloading the new nightly. It side-loaded correctly but the phone still bootloops. I tried with CM10, same issue. I tried with stock, same issue. What the hell is going on? It was working fine up until now!
I even tried installing these roms after wiping data and cache and it still doesn't work. Help me please!
So I have a VS980 Verizon G2. I have never had issues flashing in the past. I recently did a complete wipe to install CM12. Rotation was broken so I went back to a debloated Verizon 39A rom that I have never had any issues with. I get to the white Verizon boot screen and sits there forever. I don' t remember it EVER taking this long . I am pretty sure 20 minutes has went by but I always forget to time it.
I can flash the stock 26a KK Verizon ROM and it works fine and only take about 4 minutes to get past the boot screen. I can then do complete wipe and flash 39A radio and CM12 and it boots fine. I then decide to fix rotation and sensors again so I do complete wipe (to include internal storage as I am doing my flashes from USBOTG adapter). Flash stock 39 A ROM (tried debloated and stock both) and Verizon Screen forever.
I even did a restore of the debloated 39A ROM in TWRP and it will actually boot but it sits for ages at the "Android is upgrading.... starting apps" screen and I got tired of waiting more than 10 minutes for it to boot. Why is everything else but stock based Lollipop ROMs working fine?! What is going on with this thing? I have never seen this before.
As the title says, my G2 had a yellow tint on the screen yesterday after tinkering with it. I flashed from stock 4.4.2 to CM12, found out about the GPS issue (not locking in location) so I did the old trick. I flashed back to stock, turned on GPS till it found my location, then booted into recovery and flashed the CM12 backup I had made (dirty flash) Once booted back in CM12, I made sure GPS was working properly, but when i went to the Google Maps app, immediately the whole screen switched to a yellow tone. I freaked out and Googled it, thinking I had messed up with the hardware somehow (never did that before) I rebooted and the screen was back to normal, then I realized it only turns yellow when I go to the Maps app. Otherwise it does not happen. Anyone else has the same problem?
