I installed a new boot animation on my LG Ultimate 2 (LGL41C), and rebooted it. It then proceeded to boot fine, so I installed a different one. Now, I'm stuck. It'll bring up the boot animation, and restart it about every 48 seconds. I left it like that for 2 hours in the slight chance that it would get out of it on its own, but to no avail. So, I have TWRP on this device, and made a backup earlier today, so I was going to restore from that backup, but I couldn't boot into recovery. Taking out the battery will turn it off, and putting it in and doing anything with the power button, no matter what other buttons your pressing, will bring it into the boot animation. So, I thought I'll flash a ROM. Can't do that either. As I said, the power button will always bring the device into the boot animation, disregarding other buttons. I've plugged the phone into my computer, and the computer makes a sound, letting me know it's there, but doesn't bring up the SD card or Internal Storage.

I originally was trying to flash CM7 using a SD bootable version of CWM 3.0.2.8 and it wouldn't boot at all. So, after a bit of searching, came to find out my refurbished Nook was one of the "new" ones with the partition change and was told that custom ROMs won't work on it yet.
I then got a CWM flashable 1.2 stock ROM and flashed it back to stock. Now, it won't boot past the N screen. I tried holding the power and N button to get into recovery to restore it, but that process freezes up half way through.
Next, I tried the 8 times boot interrupt (which is only 4 on my Nook btw) and it too freezes up part way through while "Clearing Data".
Any ideas on where to go next?
Nevermind, problem fixed. Whew, I went from having a Nook that wouldn't even power on this morning to a fully restored one.
Turns out I needed to have the power adapter plugged in while doing the 8 boot interrupt process.
My tablet screen froze when I was using it. I pushed the reset button after the screen was unresponsive for a few minutes and it wouldn't go past the boot screen. I went into recovery but was unable to mount anything. Doing a little research I went and wiped the data but it still wont boot. I used APXflash tool, entered by SBK, and now the tablet turns on but no boot screen, no recovery, nothing.
Does this sound like the memory died, or am I making it worse by trying to fix it. I was running cwm recovery and omni rom light when this all went down.
Any help?
Hey all,
Just some details before the background.
I was running a stock with a unlocked bootloader for a while now. I basically only use my nexus now to watch netflixs and HBOgo. Got the tablet over four years ago.
This morning after it's nightly charge I went to unlock it and it froze up. I rebooted it, noticed the date was off (Jan 1st) and froze after I unlocked it. Reboot again, it made it to the screen where it was optimizing my apps but the screen starting flickering and having artifacts, and powered off. Now it will power itself off 5 or so seconds into the boot animation.
I've tried going into recovery via the bootloader but when I select it and hit the power button it just turns it self off. I then used the nexus toolbox to reflash a stock rom (along with a factory reset), and TWRP. I tried booting up again and same thing. I then went into TWRP and start troubleshooting, but the screen is starting to flicker and have artifacts, then powers off.
Is the hardware dead on this?
Sorry for the jumbled mess of details, i've been bouncing around trying to troubleshoot/fix this.

My nexus 10 has the boot loop problem and I think I have been left with the only option of Re-Partition but I need the PIT file. Can anybody help or provide this file?
I have tried everything else (fastboot, adb, temporary custom recoveries, Nexus Root Toolkit) with no success.
Is the battery original? If so, it's possible the battery could be reaching its end.

So basically this rom is awesome but it had only one problem. When I plugged my phone in the charger while it was turned off, it bootlooped until I restarted with the cable off. It was no big deal and nothing bad ever came out of it.
Yesterday my batter ran out while I was asleep and when I woke up it was already turned off. I, absentmindly, tried to turn it on, LG Logo, off again. Did it one more time, nothing happened, realized it's out of battery. Plugged in charger, try to turn it off/on, usual bootloop happens. Say ok and proceed with what I always did, phone gets past LG Logo, goes into SlimLP boot animation and for the first it has just stayed there. No restarts, just endless loading. Longest i Left it on to load was about 45 minutes. Never got back on.
Apart from that, I think that for some reason my recovery got uninstalled somehow, by itself, a few weeks ago. I only noticed this because before, when I wanted to get into recovery, I pressed the usual buttons and it went straight into TWRP. Now the same buttons take me to the "Factory reset screen". I know that everyone says to just go ahead and press power, but I am afraid, since I am not sure if TWRP is still functioning. This happened to me another time on the same phone, and when I confirmed the factory reset, it factory resetted.
My problem here is that I want to get my music and photos. I'm only able to enter that factory reset screen and download mode. Can I "flash" twrp safely from download mode? Should I use Flash Tool 2014 and Normal flash(which says it keeps the data) a stock g2 rom? Can I mount my phone to the computer in download mode to copy my files? I want the most risk-free approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, first If you can enter download mode I think you can flash kdz (Kitkat) file to stock using Flash Tool 2014. But I had this problem once and the keep data flashing didn't work (stucked at 50%), I ended up flashed it with other option (erased all data).
2. You can try the "Factory reset" nice and easy.
I think you can't see files on the device unless you enter Twrp.
It's wise to backup your phone on the computer montly or so, thank you.
I went ahead and nuked my download mode using the SRK tools. Then got access to fastboot, through which I booted to twrp and then I could move my files. All's fine, flashed my ROM again and it's going better than ever.
Hey,
I have D802 16GB with pre-last CM version. Wanted to restart the phone (no mods nor installing apps before, just a normal restart) and the trouble started:
-it was stucking on LG logo and then screen turning off; sometimes it came to CM boot animation followed by turned off screen
-managed to boot the phone in safe mode in order to backup files from the phone, it freezed and turned off. Booted in safe mode few times again, the freeze was coming faster and faster
-once or twice phone booted up normally, freezed very soon
-booted to safe mode couple of more times. I noticed the phone was freezing shortly after releasing the volume buttons.
-booted up in normal mode, was holding the volume up button during the boot. The phone worked normally, after couple of mins released the volume button. Few mins after the phone freezed.
-LG logo was shown few more times out of dozens of attempts with different power button and volume buttons combinations
-LG logo showed for a short moment after pluging the charger
-now nothing happens at all, even when connected to charger or PC. The computer doesn't detect any device.
I really want to get the data that are in internal memory of the phone. What should I do? What happened with my phone?
Found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
but will the internal memory data be affected? Moreover, there is written:
12 After attaching buttons plate,check your device going into download mode, and use flash tool to flash stock rom.

On the phone is CM which is not stock ROM, can I proceed?
Each advice will be much appreciated
