my rooted G2 with stock 4.2 suddenly quit accepting a charge and appears to be caught in a boot loop. when I have it in via usb to my laptop it (laptop) responds by recognizing 12 different devices while saying they they all need to be reformatted. when I unplug the device they go away on the laptop. when I hold power (device) the LG logo will appear then quickly disappear leaving only the very dim backlight as proof that it isn't completely dead. any ideas? thank you
one more thing, the fiddling I have been doing is xposed modules. the last one I think I activated was xblast tools (very cool sh*t by the way).
You need to flash the xposed disable zip that's automatically put on the root of the storage directory. The latest module or change you added is most likely the cause. After flashing the zip, you'll need to reinstall xposed. Remember to disable the module that caused the bootloop.

Do one thing flash the .tot file for your phone if you can get to download mod, it should bring it back to factory defaults but it will format your sdcard as well so all personal data will be gone.

can't you enter recovery?
If you can't enter recovery or download mode, you have a softbrick. Search on how to solve softbrick issues. Im sorry I cant help you any further if it is a softbrick, as I am completely new to LG

When you plug it into your computer do you see a yellowed out device in Windows device manager?
If so try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48361867&postcount=68
or alternately, install the pdanet drivers.
If you can then get adb access to your device there are several paths you could take.
I used this thread (I had recovery but not twrp), as it's the least destructive - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
If you can't get adb access with either single sooner or pdanet drivers, you may have to resort to this..

No, hard brick is when the device won't even turn on. OPs device turns on, but is stuck in limbo.

Open up Wanam and go to security hacks. In there it will have an option for "fake system status"

You could give the xsecurestorage module a shot, you should be able to get shealth to work with xposed. Thr fix i know should be just disable secure storage, clear davlik cache and cache in recovery, then clear data of the s health app and reboot once more and it should work. Otherwise i dont know, there are quite a few threads on both disabling the padlock and getting xposed to play nice with shealth, just search around, supposedly triangleaway will remove the padlock i wouldnt count on it though.

I thibk you misssed the part where you clear data and cache of shealth and all that, from what ive read turning off secure storage is not enough to get it working. Sit tight and i'll edit this post with some clearer instructions.
Edit:
Start by making for sure you have the xposed framework uninstalled, dont just uninstall the xposed installer app, you need to actually go in to the app and uninstall the framework, you should be able to keep the installer app installed though.
Next with a root enabled file explorer and open your build.prop file and just double check you have ro.securestorage.support set to false.
Now go in to the app info for s health, uninstall the updates, and clear the data and repeat for healthservice, then reboot in to stock recovery or safestrap and clear the cache and davlik cache.
Boot up and install xposed then for good measure reboot into recovery again, and clear the cache and davlik cache again, boot up and s health should work.
Past that i cant really help, this is all compiled from suggestions ive read, so im not sure how well all of it works due to the fact i dont even have s health installed, but good luck, hope you get it working.

You can check a couple things, check the module list and see if theres a check next to wanam indicating its enabled, if its not then enable it and reboot. If you have an sd card then long press on wanam in the module list or in yout launcher and go to its app info and see if its on the sd card, there should be a button that says either "move to sd card" or "move to device storage" if its the latter its on your sd card and that tends to mess things up, so move it to your phone's storage and then reboot, go to the module list and disable then reenable wanam then reboot.

Yep, mine is running in normal. I do have SELinuxModeChanger set to permissive. Did you try that? Did you disable musicFX? Besides that I did exactly what was listed in the nexus 5x set-up.

I am using systemless root and the selinuxmodechanger app does not work with this root method, so I used the permissive zip from flar2. I disabled musicfx and it still wont work in normal mode

changing musicfx back and forth didn't change the sound. but I know that the sound changed following the instructions and adding permissive option on selinux so maybe removing the file from the directory affected this?
I also followed the steps from the 5x forum and I am unable to get the driver to stick. I am rooted the non systemless way.
I had to use rootbrowser to delete the audio_effects.conf permanently. Once I did that, it worked

Does viper4android give us system wide audio control? Such as allowing us to change the gain on the top/bottom speakers?
Edit: Dw I found out it does. Just need to root and get it now then.
I'm having constant problems keeping this working. I did everything told in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63486621&postcount=7 yet every other day I get the issue of going into Google Music, playing music, and when I try to go to settings to get to Viper EQ, the music stops and Viper tells me all of a sudden that the driver isn't installed again (when it definitely was and was working fine).
Also, lately when I go into the SELinuxModeChanger app, it shows Enforcing is chosen, even right after I change it to Permissive. It keeps changing back on its own, even after root permissions are granted.
This wasn't happening until recently.
Running Elemental X's kernel if that matters.
Any ideas?
So I couldn’t wait any more so this weekend I rooted and got my Viper ON. Viper is one of the main reasons that I root. This is what I did:
1) I get TWRP and rooted by doing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
2) Now that I’m rooted, I get busy box working
3) I didn’t need to change my SEL Mode by doing this.
4) I Boot into TWRP and I flashed the attach zip. “ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip”
5) Disable MusicFX and then I went into system/vendor/etc and killed “audio_effects.conf”
6) Open Viper and install best Driver
7) I had to re-flash the zip 2-3 times without wiping before I got it working.
Now my 6P is on MDB08M, Crypted, enforcing mode with TWRP and rooted with Viper.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research of this topic on your own before you take a look at it. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you, all, at the same time.
Ok, I have seen the problem, when you first download TWRP in Download Mode, you have to make it reboot to your device's lockscreen.
After you have done that download SuperSU from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/1003/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip
Go back to Recovery Mode and flash this file from the desired location you have put the .zip in.
Then reboot the whole system. (TWRP cannot process a lot of flashes of files at once! It crashes the system!)
Download ViPER4Android from here: ViPERAudio 5.5 Sony Beats Edition.zip
Then go to Recovery Mode again then flash this file.
After the reboot, open up the app and the app will say Drivers need to be installed. Install it and give the app root access. Then, you have to reboot it after it says Drivers Installed. Reboot.
REBOOT!
After that, go to the app and press the three dot menu on the right top corner and press compatibility mode and then press Compatible not Normal.
Then try playing a song and activate the app for SoundFX. If it does not work, then reply back and I will help you.
If it doesn't work and you want to fix it yourself, find a Permissive Kernel for the device and install it. ViPER4Android works on Enforcing and Permissive but it works on Permissive better.
Peace Out. Hope I helped.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 SM-T280 I have no idea when it comes to all this booting rebooting stuff but I like this kind of stuff and would want to learn more. Now my tablet is FRP locked.
