[FIXED]help, phone stuck at boot screen!

I tried this method ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8366966#post8366966 --- to root my phone and now my phone is stuck at the boot screen!
Luckily i wrote down the info before i tried to root!
HGJG3 2.6.29 [email protected]#2
that's all i know about it
I tried to flash it first with the CF-Root-JPH-v1.1.tar.
after that caused it to be stuck at boot, i tried it with 2 diff pits - 20100513, 20100803.
I can manage to get into recovery and the odin flash thing.
I've only had the phone for a few hours now, i've EXTENSIVELY searched google for over an hour!
however for some reason the xda seach won't work
I searched google with xda in front of my searches aswell with no luck. So sorry if this has been covered!! (it probably would've)
I understand that if i can get into recovery i'm not bricked or anything, but i'm a COMPLETE noob at this so could anyone PLEASE help me?
Thanks ALOT,
Brandon.

I was in the same situation tonight. I have the AT&T variant. I found the answer on droidforum(dot)net by member HARVESTERX:
"OK, so you're booting into fastboot and trying to ADB from there? Have you tied booting into recovery (since you said that you were able to successfully flash one)? I'm on the Verizon G2 so not too familiar if it's the same on your model, but to get into recovery I power on the phone by pressing and bring the power and volume - buttons at the same time. After seeing the LG logo I have to release both buttons and press and hold power and volume - once more which takes me into the factory reset mode. From here press the power button a few times as if I'm doing a factory reset and it loads up TWRP from there.
This has saved my ass once already because I wiped my internal storage mount by accident and deleted all my backups and ROMs, so I used a Windows XP computer (can't get any other version of Windows to recognize my device...well I know how but it involves more time than I have at the computer as it's not mine) and pushed a ROM over using ADB that way. It's been a few days so hopefully you've fixed the issue... "
This method put me into TWRP and I was able to RESTORE my phone to the backup I had done earlier this evening.
I hope this helps!

Failed Root Attempt = Softbricked, please help

Hello, this is my first post on here.
My samsung galaxy note 3 on verizon is the first android phone I have had. I tried to root it earlier today following a guide online and now my phone is stuck in ODIN mode.
I have tried to follow various guides I have found including guides on this site to get it out of softbricked mode and nothing has worked, Could someone please guide me through my specific phone for me. I have spent hours searching, watching guides, and downloading different files to run through odin and not one has managed to get me anywhere.
Thanks for your help.

Did you try re-flashing stock imgs through odin or kies?

Do you recall what guide you followed to root? Have you tried removing the battery and if so, does the phone boot normally or go right back to download mode?

Not sure if this is your issue or not, but if you entered Odin mode from the normal OS, (e.g. with "adb reboot-bootloader"), the phone will always reboot into Odin Mode if you soft - cycle the phone (by holding the power button down continuously for more than 8 seconds or so).
So, try doing this: with the phone in Odin Mode, pull the battery. Wait 10 seconds, re-insert the battery, and attempt to restart the phone in recovery mode by simultaneously holding down the Vol-Up, Home, and Power button.
If you want decent help you should describe not only the current behavior of your phone, but also the exact steps you performed to get your phone into this condition & the release version of software on the phone before you started your rooting attempt.
Note: if your phone is soft-bricked, restoring it via Odin might be the only recourse... so the fact that it boots into Odin/Download Mode is in some ways a positive thing.

Hello, I have the same problem, was trying to root my brand new Note 3 using the guide listed here using root de la Vega but every time that I run odin got the failed message now I am stuck on Odin mode, every time that I restart the phone goes to Odin mode... you mentioned that restoring via Oding might be the only option, if so could you help me with that, or redirect me to where I can find the guide to do that. Thanks in advance

It is common that folks that are new to this stuff don't know how to ask questions in the best manner. So I thought I would illustrate with two key phrases that folks (that are requesting help) that should be avoided at all costs:
"I tried everything!"
Here's what's wrong with this: we have no idea what your idea of "everything" is. And especially if you are new to this stuff, it is probably not "everything". So, using this phrase is really the same thing as providing no information at all.
Be explicit and explain exactly what you tried, including as many details as possible. Examples: URLs of guides you followed, version numbers of any software you used, names of files you downloaded, copy and paste any error messages you experienced.
"It failed."
Read the above several times. What information does it provide? Yeah, that's right - almost nothing. We got the part about you having a problem already. Now is the time to provide details. You are trying to repair a computer - the actual details are incredibly important to getting that to happen.
Be explicit and explain exactly what you tried, including as many details as possible, and provide a transcript of the exact error messages you observed.

[Q] Half-Bricked G2

Hey Guys!
As I finally gave up looking through hundreds of comments and several different threads I will try it this way...
I am not new into flashing, as I messed around a lot with my Galaxy S2 and especially with my HTC HD2 (loved that thing!)
Now I wanted to flash my G2 too (after 2 years with stock rom), but something went wrong. I can neither enter download- nor recoverymode. But it works as usual, even after resetting it to factory state.
It just showed me the boot security error then I was able to force restart it by holding Power + VolUP and it was reset to the state where I bought it.
I rooted with ioroot, then I tried to put CWM on it (CWM-Official- TOUCH-6.0.4.4(D802)), which I already figured out that it wasn't the best idea, since everybody seems to use TWRP on his G2. But I didn't know a thing about TWRP and I was used to use CWM for flashing, so I tried it.
Then I read that there is a problem with stock ROMS and ADB root, because the CMD showed me an error saying that "adb cannot run as root in production builds". By doing some research on the Internet I figured out that something went incredibly wrong. ( I also forgot about the bootloader.. it was a long time since I flashed a phone )
My Phone is a open LG G2 D802, KOT49I.D80220g, 32 GB.
I have already messed around with this for some time, but it wasn't successful since the device wasn't shown in the ls command, I assume it's because it's still recognized by Ubuntu as an MTP? (I read to page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
But every other solution I have found requires download mode, which I'm not able to enter (Not by pressing Power + VolUP (or Vol down) until LG Logo, then release and press again, nor by holding volUP while plugging in the USB cable (of course the device was powered off))
Does anybody have some advices?
I hope I gave all information you need.
Kind Regards
Lukas

Is your device rooted?

Yes it is.

I think you might have to short the chip to force it in qhsusb mode and flash laf.img,aboot.img and boot.img
