I have been running 4.1 for about a week now, last night I had to reboot and after rebooting it wouldn't come back up. I had this issue previously and wiped Dalvik and it would boot, however, not this time. I've tried everything I can think of. Nandroid (4.0.4) restores fail on data, I've tried wiping data, cache, dalvik and trying to install a clean ROM (4.0 and 4.1) to no avail.
Any suggestions? I would really love to get my data off the phone before I have to delete absolutely everything. When I go into mount usb storage, I can't access the phone from my PC...

Can anyone help me?
I am running SkyRaider 3.1 with the Hydra SSUV kernel.
I ran ClockworkMod through Rom Manager, selected wipe cache, then wiped dalvik cache and the phone is now stuck in the boot sequence at the Droid eye screen. It's now been about 20 minutes, so I assume it has had enough time to rebuild itself.
Any ideas? I have a nandroid backup from a few days ago, but I would like to avoid doing that.

It should have completed by now, I hate to say pull the battery.... but if you are really stuck.
go back to recovery wipe Dalvik and Cache Partition, try booting again, it will take quite a bit of time to reboot this time.
If that does not work use your nandroid backup.
BTW always nandroid before making any changes to your phone that way you lose nothing, even if you think they are quick, easy or minor. Hardware has a way of keeping us humble.
Thanks for the recommendation. I had pulled the battery and figured I would try booting to recovery and wiping the cache again to see what happened. Did that and booted in a minute.
Currently doing a new Nandroid backup...
I tried flashing this ROM and after doing so and wiping both caches I rebooted the phone. As the phone rebooted the the first screen to appear was the Paranoid Android screen (with the jelly beans in the Android) and the phone remains stuck there. Is there anything I can do to restore the phone to default so I can flash the ROM again or even get the phone to another screen other than the one it is on? I haven't been able to use it all day even after a hard reset...I'm stuck
Try wiping cache, then dalvik
Did you make a backup prior to flashing? If not, you should make a habit of doing so to due to instances such as this. You can always boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe davlik cache, format system.. Then either try to re flash paranoid android or chose another rom to load.

I recently installed LiquidSmooth, 2.2RC2.
The GAPPS was FCin'g at least once a day. Now today, I cannot get my calendar to synch. Why i try to manually synch, the GAPPS FCs.

I have reinstalled GAPPS that are on the OP for it, but same thing.
Any suggestions?
when you flashed the gapps again, did you wipe cache and dalvik?
as a last resort, i would recommend a full wipe (wipe data, cache, dalvik, format /system) if you didnt when you initially flashed the ROM/gapps.

Yes, I did wipe cache and dalvik. and I dis wipe all, and format system when I first installed. It's been working for several days, with occasional FCs on the GAPPS, but now it just seems hosed.
A bit ago, I wen in and did all of that wiping, and format system, and restored the Nandroid (TWRP) that I created of it when it was working, and still no go.
I'm considering going back to 4.1.1. But I've read that going back from 4.2 to 4.1 is not a good idea. I'm not positive if I'd get some /0 directory issues. But it would seem to me if I wipe everything, even format the sdcard, I should be able to go back.
[EDIT]
Well, I just finished going into settings and doing a Factory Reset. Then installing fresh apps. Calendar working. Who knows what swcrewed it up....
This is crazy...
So it was working for 1 day.
Tonight, I got into my car, and the phone said, and the car too, that the phone was hooked to BT. But in the car, it sayd "No Service". So I tried a call, it made the call, but the person could not hear me.
And...I lost all calendar entries, except for 1 test entry I created yesterday. WTF? This is driving me crazy.
I was about to decide I had some kind of virus. I did a virus scan, and found nothing. Then I installed Lookout, and scanned with it and still found nothing.
I'm also realizing I have music issues. But I'll open another post on that.
Long story short, I've spend the better part of 2 days trying to get my phone to working order.
I tried to flash the stock 4.0.4 rom into my phone. After I did that, the radio stopped working so i wanted to go back to my previous All-star-v7 rom that i had backup in the external sdcard.
When I was installing 4.0.4 i had to switch from CWM to TWRP to get it to install. I switched back to CWM using ODIN but now when i try to wipe the phone so i can restore a backup, it hangs up on wiping /cache and if i try to restore it hangs up on restoring cache....
What do i do? I had used the infamous super wipe and cache wipe to get the phone into 4.0.4 I think i messed up something because of using those...
update: Strangely, I can restore a backup of 2.3.6 and even though it hangs on restoring /cache. I restart the phone and it boots up to it. I also find that google play is unable to update any of my apps, it looks like it's because of the corrupted /cache. how would i fix it?
update2: i used odin to flash into TWRP 2.6.3.1 and did a cache wipe and it's stuck at "unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'. anyone know how to fix that?
Currently running Lifeless 14. I'm wanting to try the optimus 4.3
I do a backup, download the new rom. I wipe 3 times (cache, system, data, and dalvik). and even do a factory reset. Then flash the new rom.
Upon doing so I try to boot up but sits at the LG logo screen.
I tried redownloading the rom thinking there was an error. Same result
I also tried not wiping data for the hell. The flash was unsuccessful.
My only thought was a long time ago I tried AOSP but switched back to stock. Does this affect my issue possibly? IF so, how can i fix it without doing a complete wipe (including internal storage).
