Greeting
I ask someone for help. My Samsung E900 has worked perfectly until yesterday ... After changing the Regional Settings sought to be restarted to accept new settings. After that phone at the time of ignition appears LG logo and the fit is a few seconds the screen clears and the LG logo appears again, and so constantly ..
Any ideas?
Thanks

Pulling the battery for 10-30 secs and then boot seems to be the universal problem solver for WP7 phones.

my phone was delivered without the battery inserted, it it was out for like a couple of days. Still gets stuck at the "LG" screen...

Then return it as faulty as it should load unless borked somehow.

Yes i Will return it on monday unless someone knows a way to restore it.
It's possible to start it in 3 modes.
1. Hold down the volume buttons + camera + power button. It then sais cold boot and then nothing more.
2. Vol down + camera + power. Then it sais emergency download, and my computer finds it
3. Camera + power. Shows a phone, cord and computer.
I tried the lg phone support tool and it sais the phone already are up to date.
Isn't there a way to load the windows phone 7 software onto the phone somehow?
Would really like to do it so I won't have to return it. I bought it of eBay, it is a customer return, so guess the guy before me tried messing with it to update it. And the company that sold it to me did not check if it was functioning before selling it to me..

You could of course flash the phone with new firmware and see if it fixes the problem, sounds like someone managed to mess up with your set.
There are some information around here how to flash the phone if you feel up for it.
/J
Ok but do u think The firmware is The problem? The LG tool showed that it was up to date, isn't it just the windows phone 7 software that is missing? I am not sure, but wouldn't the phone not show the lg logo if the firmware was bad?
A reward of € 10 will be given to the person helping me with this, and makes it work as supposed to.

You could probably try a different version of the OS depending on what you have now (I bet you wrote what version you had, I just missed it).
There are a few threads about that under the WP7 hack and dev. And as far as the firmware goes it's hard to know if it's actually ok just because it loads to the logo, I don't know where in the boot sequence the logo appears etc. there could be problems with the firmware too.
My first step would be to see if it's possible to get a new version of the OS in and if not, I'd try some new firmware.
And if nothing works return it as faulty.

I dont know what version there is on my phone, it received it like this, the only thing I see when trying to start it is "LG" and it shows right away.
I tried everything I stumbled upon when it comes to trying to put windows phone software in the phone, but Nothing works... I will send it back tomorrow monday if I cant find a solution to this.
I got the same problem before.
I just turn it off, and leave it for a night
Next day, all the things are ok
yeeaah well, nothing helped, whatever I did to it...
I received no less than 3 broken phones and now finaly I have a working one yaaaayyy
Congrats,
I just sent my phone to LG for the same problem....
My phone can boot up in very low rate...
Lg optimus e900 start issue
Hi,
I have the same issue, I can't restart my phone.
I can see only the logo and the LG caption.
Pls help,
Laszlo
I've got almost the same problem
I just bought this phone via local site, several days ago i'm so much happy with its smoothness but 2 days ago this problem appear, i spent several hours just to find it hanging on LG logo, i've waited for hour to hour just to see nothing happened that time. I left it for bed, and the next day the phone back to normal. But then, at least the device hanging 3 times a day, its just restarting itself and it seems the phone is unable to boot itself to the homescreen. Need help! I've done many way, from restoring, cold boot, softreset, upgrade(when it comes normal) etc but all don't work till now.
Unfortunately, this product doesn't release officially in my country, so i guess i won't be able to get replacement unit. I became so desperate cause i often use it, i need to get this phone back to normal, soon! Thankyou and sorry for my bad english
TL;DR: Any way to fix/flash a Nexus 7 that reports it's in APX mode to Windows yet, that won't do anything else?
Backstory: I've had a 2012 Nexus 7 32gb since the day it came out (Oct 2012 or so?). Worked great for a year, loved it! Had AOKP on it, unlocked/rooted, used tons of apps, never a single problem. And then one day while I was using it to play music while charging it, out of the blue, it hard shut off while it was running, rebooted and shut off during boot and... never turned on again. Wouldn't indicate a charge, wouldn't turn on, couldn't get it to respond to any power or volume key presses, nothing.
I called Asus, and they agreed it needed to be repaired. I sent it to them, they sent me back the same unit, repaired, and said they swapped the mainboard out in the repair notes. Worked great, except the device was completely wiped, relocked, unrooted, and they removed my nice Stenheil screen protector.
I was without it long enough that I got used to not having it. Since it was completly back to stock, I decided instead that I would sell it when I found a good buyer (friend, etc), and buy the new 2013 Nexus 7 instead. I found a friend who wanted it a few days ago.
Today's Issue: I charged it over night last night so it was on a full charge this AM. I saw that I was still running 4.3 on it (hadn't really used it since I got it back in November), so I did the factory/official "OTA" update to 4.4.2 this AM. Went flawless, no issues, booted up fine. I updated all the apps on it, also worked fine.
I then decided to do a Factory Reset on it, (Thru Backup/Reset IN android, NOT Recovery). I went thru the confirmations/warnings, and then it said "Shutting Down..." and, it shut down. I let it sit for a few minutes, expecting it to boot back up (it never did). I tried to turn it on, nothing. I tried ALL combinations of power + volume, + charging cable in/out, etc. Everything possible, trust me, I scoured the web for new combinations and timing ,etc. No matter what, I never got ANYTHING on the display, no charging indicator, no recovery or bootloader, nothing. It's like the display is dead. The battery was fully charged this AM after being charged overnight so I know the battery wasn't even close to low. It's like it's completely dead no matter what I do.
I then tried to hook it up to my PC, which is setup for ADB etc, couldn't see it in ADB. In Device Manager though, it's showing as being in APX mode? So I tried holding power down for 10 seconds with it connected, and it DOES disconnect from windows, and a few seconds later, it shows up again, again in APX mode. Nothing ever appears on the display. Holding VOL down or all three buttons while plugging into PC never changes anything, no matter what, it ALWAYS shows in APX mode.
From what I'm reading online, this is a sign that the bootloader is missing or corrupt, and, that there isn't a fix for that unless you first backed up your crypto "blob" using Flatline (which I didn't even know about till today). I'm hoping that maybe what I've read is out of date? Is there perhaps a way to fix or flash this yet?
The whole thing makes little sense. All I did is update it, then reset it, all officially supported/normal things, on a bone stock tablet. It seems more like they didn't ACTUALLY fix it the first time it went back to them....
Help? AFAIK the tablet is now out of warranty. I just want to sell it and get the 2013 model! The tablet is in perfect shape, it's been used with a screen protector and case since day 1 - not a single scratch on the screen or case. :crying:
i'll take the silence to mean I'm screwed, right? :crying:
I don't know how, but it seems your bootloader is gone. (corrupted sector on the nand,maybe)
You can't do much without the proper blobs.
If I were you, would try to send it back to Asus. They are the only ones who can repair it.
Wow I can't believe it's been two months, but, I still have this tablet, still not working, Asus won't fix it for a reasonable price... anything changed on this in the last two months?
It seems like it should be possible to do something... maybe I'm just optimistic.
I want a 2013 Nexus 7 but it's hard to pull the trigger knowing my very lightly used gen1 model failed twice now.
There is no way to produce an universal blob and device specific blob creation is working so there is little to no reasons for further development.
You could fit a new motherboard 32gb ones are expensive but the 16gb are a lot cheaper
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
They're readily available on eBay - $35 for a used 16GB motherboard, and $50 for a 32GB board. That's how I fixed my APX bricked N7...
Whoever stumbles across my late entry, if the N7 won't boot after empty battery, no button combinations work and PC shows only APX mode - take off the back housing (it's pretty easy to do) and disconnect and reconnect the battery cable, this let me boot it up immediately...
(my N7 however was plugged over night to charge before I attempted this unplug but actually didn't show up the charging indicator and wasn't bootable, surprisingly it was charged already half when I finally could boot it up)

Apparently it is possible without having done the backup first, at least for some people.

Now I won't have a cell phone for a couple of months great!
I put it in download mode early and now when holding down the power button i can get the LG Logo to come up even better. edit:just got a lg logo. ok....,
edit my rom just launched but it will end up freezing and crashing again. and I will have to go thru what I just went thru fix this please.
TLRPHONE just randomly freezes boots off and does not reboot. I have to monkey with it before it does.
This started on CloudyG2 I just installed CM13 on my phone and its still happening
Phone is running currently most likely will freezea and crash again.
I copied and pasted this from my reddit post on /r/lgg2 anyways.
I installed cloudyG2 again. And my phone will work for 4 mins then it freezes and crashes and I have t o wait to boot it again. I am going to just to restore stock rom (TOT un-brick)
Edit: I just plugged my phone in the computer and it made a noise like it was plugged in but the screen is not on
Can't get the phone to show the lg logo have been trying for 2 mins now when I plug the phone in it still makes the noise.

nobody can help I took it to the brick and motar store as some people call it thats where I bought the phone. they said they will check and see if they can fix it. Since I bought it less than 30 days ago.
Brick and motar called said they fixed it!!!!
Edit: still broke they said they would give me a new phone I told them I wanted another G2 or a Nexus 5 or a idol 3. told me to come back tomorrow.
So lately I have installed crDroid 7.1.2 and additionally Lambda kernel. Everything was working great. I was using my LG G2 with many different 7.1.2 softwares with no problem. Unfortunately today just few minutes ago I used power button to lock the screen (I was browsing the web but had to do something for a second). After That I couldnt do anything. I pressed power button many times. Screen didnt go off. Nothing shows up. There is no sound or anything. No reaction. I tried to hold power button longer or even use volume down + power. Nothing. When I connected it to charging the led has appeared (I had around 75% battery then and my battery life was always great), but still couldnt turn it on or anything. Additionally after disconnecting from charging led is still there. My LG G2 is 3 years old. I never dropped it from large altitude, I had it covered backcase as well as hardened glass. Little drops werent doing any harm. It never got wet or anything. It has never overheated and I had never a single problem with rescuing software. Only soft boot loops. It just happened like that. Is there something I can do? Anything? I really dont want to buy any other phone since nowadays most of them with that good hardware are too hard to change software for custom ROM, plus LG G2 camera was always amazing. Phones that cost more than LG G2 did at the launch have worse camera than this phone had. Once again please give me an advice for what to do.
Edit: After waiting for a while and trying over and over holding power button for like 30 seconds worked and phone has restarted succesfully. Anyway can it be somehow related to the custom kernel I installed? It's first time something like this occured.
Hi. I experienced a strange behaviour like this with a G2 mini, it was a battery problem. Maybe if it happens again, try this way (it's economic to try).

Don't use Lambda Kernel sometimes freezes use the kernel included in the rom
I've had a VS995 for about two months. One of the first things I did when I got it was root(dirty santa) and install custom firmware. After doing this I noticed that watching any type of video on the phone would lag extremly bad (<10 fps), unless I held my finger on the screen, and I would get different screen glitches (turn black, turn all static, half and half, etc). I then decided to go back to stock so I flashed a stock KDZ with lgup. This didn't fix the problem. After several weeks of putting up with it, It's gotten to the point where the phone is unusable. It freezes constantly. To get the screen to unfreeze I have to lock then unlock the screen, and half the time it freezes again instantly. Attempting to watch a video (or even a GIF) stutters and chokes after 1-2s and turns the whole screen into static.
At first I was thinking something might be corrupted so today I re-rooted but once I tried to get into twrp the screen kept turning to static. So I flashed back to stock KDZ with no change in performance. Also I can not boot into recovery or fastboot, I've tried several times. Does KDZ upgrade also flash the bootloader?
I'm starting to think it might be something bad on the main board, has anyone ever reflowed one?
I bought the phone used online and it only came with a 30 day warrenty, so no luck there.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Yes upgrade in lgup flashes EVERYthing, bootloader, modem, recovery, even the download mode partition. Have to use partition dl mode to be picky (needs the modified lg up files from the mismatched variant thread). The static screen sounds like you need a custom kernel or a new twrp, depending on where its occuring (its related to the dirtysanta bootloader and theres workarounds to fix it builtinto custom kernels and recent twrp)
It's prolly water damage. My V20 was doing exactly the same thing after rooting. I opened the phone and noticed the LCD plug to the Mobo had corrosion on it, I unplugged the LCD from the Mobo and got a clean cheap brand new toothbrush and gently brushed and blew debris off then followed with cleaning with a ear Qtip with a bit of alcohol. Check the seal around the LCD and make sure any gaps are closed with slices of clear tape. I don't know how rooting messed up my phone, it's something strange with resetting the phone, the glitches kicked in from the corrosion on the gold parts. After my first boot from cleaning, my phone was totally normal again. A month later I got screen retention..... Lol but that's a whole other Obvious story everybody shares and knows about lol. I hope you get your situation solved.
