[Q] [LG Optimus e400] LG Logo on CWM Reboot Into Recovery

Used SuperOneClick 1.7 RageAgainstTheCage to root the phone.
Installed ROM Manager.
Downloaded "cm-9-20130929-NIGHTLY-e400.zip" from the CyanogenMod site.
Downloaded "gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip" from goo.im.
Put phone into USB file mode.
Transferred the .zip's onto the SD card.
Went into ROM Manager.
Selected "Install ROM from SD Card".
Selected the CM9 .zip.
Confirmed the reboot.
It reboots and only shows the LG logo and sits there forever.
Holding the power button reboots the phone and it's back like it was.
SuperUser is installed and ROM Manager has SuperUser permissions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you 're already installed cwm recorevy? if yes, then go to cwm recovery (home + vol- + power) and wipe everything , reflash again.
seem cause of you not wipe before flashing

Ok, so I removed the battery for about 30 seconds, then put it back in.
Held down the Home & Volume - & Power buttons.
The Menu and Back lights blinked.
I continued holding the buttons down for about a minute and a half, and the lights kept blinking. I assumed they would continue blinking forever, so I let go of the buttons.
The phone boots up to the lock screen like normal.
What am I missing?
====================
EDIT > I tried holding Home & Volume - & Power while on the Home screen, the Power Off menu came up, kept holding the buttons, the phone shut down and rebooted back to the lock screen like normal. So I guess it's still a no-go for me at this point.
EDIT 2 > According to other threads here some are having to unlock the bootloader. Where's a good place to start looking for how to do that if it's needed for this phone?

So I've been googling this crap for 3 days now, and it seems that my phone is just this magic piece of crap that will only show the LG logo while trying to do a hard reset or trying to get into recovery. I'm at my wit's end.

Remove the battery and enter emergency mode? Instructions/key-combo for that?

Remove battery and plug the phone to pc via USB cable.
Hold vol up + vol down + power

I removed the battery, plugged it in via USB to PC, held down Vol Down, Vol Up, & Power (it was showing an animation that looked like it was showing me to put the back of the phone on), the animation goes away as I'm holding the buttons, the Menu and Back button lights started flashing quickly, I let go of the buttons, then it shows the LG Logo for a few seconds, then it shows the blue TracFone logo for a few seconds, then goes back to showing the animation again.

I got it using "adb reboot recovery". The problem was that the recovery wasn't properly pushed because of so little space on this phone. It's slightly different than the regular L3 e400's because of some reason. It's a Straight Talk LG Optimus Dynamic. Thanks for your replies.

Reseting to stock

Is there any way to reset my friends Tegra note 7 without rooting or using a custom recovery,as his brother has locked him out using a unlock pattern but he dosent remember it ?

Supertool should work. I used it to successfully downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 without needing to root it. But you do have to unlock the bootloader though which will cause loss off all personal data.

Ok, First things first.
1) Go to settings --> about tablet --> tap build number 10 times and you will unlock developer options.
2) Backup to Developer options and check that usb debugging is on.
3) Power off the device. Then press and hold the volume up button and press and hold the power button at the same time till it boots into the bootloader. Then you have approx. 5 seconds to make a choice or it will continue to boot to the normal desktop. You don't have to select the choice, just press the volume keys to any choice to halt the timer.
4) On the computer, open cmd and go to the directory with adb.exe and fastboot.exe are located. Type adb devices to see if you get a response with a bunch of numbers followed by device.
5) On the device, press the volume key to highlight reboot fastboot, then press power button to select. You should be in fastboot.
6) On the computer type fastboot oem unlock and profit!!!!
Super tool does the same thing, plus a lot more, all automated for convenience.

I would if I could but the tablet is locked with pattern

That's a bummer. Without having USB debugging enabled, I'm not sure how to bypass that lock screen via computer. But are you sure you can't get into the boot loader via the volume up and power buttons? There should be a factory reset option in the boot loader iirc.

Yes I'm 100% sure ,I have been trying all day and no luck,but I have another plan up my sleeve and I ain't gonna give upp just wait until Friday and I will try to post the fix for this if I succeed

Just go into stock recovery. (Power off, then hold volume up and power button until screen, then select recovery) And do factory reset/wipe.

I had this when running TWRP and if I remember you hold the "off" button down until it starts to reboot and then quickly hold the up button while it's rebooting.
You may be able to just hold the start and up button at the same time then turn the start button loose when you see the logo.
Again; I can't remember exactly what I did but it's safe to say to device is not broken.
One note: I was never able to get TWRP to run correctly (consistently) on this device without at least some issues.
I use CMR with no problems.
Also when I had this problem i had to do a complete wipe to get completely into download mode...
Good luck...

That's correct! it will auto restart so you have to get your timing right. Try holding down the start button and as soon as the screen goes blank release the start button and grab the up button..

Use vol - and vol + simultaneously and plug into PC..
It should hopefully go into download mode!
As for recovery, try brute force (different combinations with volume, home, back, menu and power keys)

Hold vol up and down at the same time then hold powee as soon as the lg logo shows up let go of power and keep holding vol up and down and quickly press menu. It will get you to recovery.
If that wont work then remove battery and then hold up and down and as soon as the lg logo apears hold menu.
Try it a few times it will work.

If you can access TWRP recovery, you can shutdown your phone by going Reboot > Power Off.

Yes but you dont understand.the guidlines are very spacific that after all the fastboot flashing and final step says that after all flashing it says okay and to immediately power down either by removing battery or in my case with a rogers lg g2 where baterry removal is not an option it says type last command fastboot reboot and hold power while the phone powers down.but it will not power down while still plugged into usb port.well that cant happen as it loops itself.and same thing while i do button combo to get into twrp.i can do all the above no problem if the usb cord is not attached only when i unplug the usb it allows me to do combo and get recovery.i just cant get passed that point where all flashes okay and power down while still plugged in.omg this is frustrating.im gonna throw this damn phone out the window lol
