Hey All. I just got this problem today, my phone keeps shutting off randomly and then it will get stuck at booting up and will constantly make the sound it makes while booting up. I just tried reflashing to stock via odin following thisTutorial and i got it to restore to stock but it got stuck at the samsung logo after the T-mobile logo. After that it keeps doing the same to me as before restoring to stock. I can't get into recovery on it or download mode.
Could be stuck or bad power button try cleaning in and around the button.

I Dont think thats the problem because I am able to power on the phone.
When you restored from Odin did you do a factory reset? If you didn't it will stay on the Samsung logo.

No I didn't I Could get access any of my backups I had and I didn't want to lose everything on my phone. Is there any way to get into the storage on my phone and get the backups off and then factory wipe it?

Okay I figured out I left a recovery from march 2 on my sd card so now i have a recovery that is stable. How can i get into recovery to factory reset my phone? I've tried VOL UP + VOL DOWN and im not sure if im doing it right, but is there any other way to get into recovery??
Did you turn off the phone and hold volume up + volume down + power until the phone vibrates and then let go of power button?

so i installed gummy rom, tried sending a file via bluetooth and i went in a boot loop, so i got frustrated and went back to recovery and restored my back up rom from before and r/s and the phone went into boot loop, and got stuck at the boot screen.
So i took the battery out and tried to go into recovery manually by pressing three buttons and when i selected the recovery option i takes me to the screen where there is a android with a red sign and then it stalls and restarts it self to the boot loop. Dont know what to do, can some one please help i really need help. Please./
come on fellas 93 views and no help can anyone please help...
At the exclamation screen press volume up and down. Sounds like your cwr is gone and you will go into stock recovery?
Not sure if that will work.
Also maybe try pulling battery and then with battery out press volume up and down then put battery back in.

I cant see the video but you lost the cwm recovery.Pull the battery out and then place it again.Hit the middle of volume buttons and power.You are going to be in bootloader.With volume up go to option Recovery mode and select it with the power.Your phone after google logo is going to android with the exclamation mark(stock 3e recovery).Hold power button and then volume up and you ll see the options in stock recovery.Select the wipe data/factory reset and then reboot your phone.

Hey guys, I had the same issue on my GNex when on ICS. I tried this method and it got solved. Later I updated to JB and again Bluetooth caused a bootloop, again did this method and the problem got solved.
This is getting really annoying now. How can I permanently avoid these bootloops as each time my ENTIRE data gets deleted. Please help me.
First, I'll admit I made a mistake. I installed the wrong version of Gapps when I install CM10 and therefore the phone wouldn't boot to setup. However, when I attempted to get back to stock to recover, the phone now gets stuck at the 4th boot screen with the pulsating Samsung. I can only get to Download mode, but I can't seem to get back to CWM Recovery. I have tried reflashing CWM Recovery with Odin, but I still can't get anywhere but to Download mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are stuck and can't get into recovery than you'll have to Odin back to stock there are stickies in these forums on how to do that.
If you can get into recovery and you are just not using the right button combo (vol up + power + home button) than flashing the proper gapps and wiping cache and davlik should fix the issue.

I have attempted to flash back to stock, and Odin reports that it was successful, but it still returns to the same point in the boot sequence and hangs.
When I use Power + Home + Volume Up, I get to the precursor screen for the Download Mode, not CWM Recovery Mode.
Any suggestions as to another way to force my way into recovery mode? I assumed that would be my way out, but I can't seem to get there.

Hold Volume up&home +power until the phone vibrates, then let go of just the power button (continue holding vol up&home).
Once you're in recovery you can flash a different rom, restore a backup, etc.

Make sure your battery is charged to at least 70%. Once done try entering recovery again by holding down vol up + power + home key at the same time until you see the blue text on the upper left hand corner and then let go. If this doesn't work you should be able to enter download mode with vol down + power + home key. If so I'd recommend flashing back to complete stock using ODIN on your pc and start from scratch.

I think people make it more complicated than it needs to be. Press the power button. When the phone vibrates, release it. Hold home+vol up until you see the recovery booting blue text, then release those.
Holding the power button puts the phone in a boot loop. Something I used to do on occasion until I learned it in fact didn't need to be held at all.
you can do this too...wipe data and factory...sometimes happening when i flasshing via odin

Ok unfortunately I decided to root my LG and obviously thats was my first mistake. I was reading xda about how to root my LG Optimus G. Well i found a thread that talked me through it but I decided to take the short and download freegee from the playstore. And needless to say in the middle of it backing up someone decided they felt the need to call me. I didnt answer the call but it went back to downloading the recovery. When it finished it said it couldnt find the files. Long story short my phone worked for 2 days before it decided that it was gonna be deactivated and i no longer use my phone unless its on wifi. I talked to sprint the tech told that basically everything is gone and the biggest part thats missing is the radio and if i could recovery that or flash a new one then I have buy a new phone. Can anyone please please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crying:

It sounds like you still have stock recovery. You'll need to use LGNPST. All the info and links are here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43983721

Choose Dload Mode/Reboot/Fastboot
Vol. up: Dload Mode
Vol. down: Reboot
Power: Fastboot
If I choose Dload Mode pls do following
1 . Dload Mode. Pls connect USB
2. Get tha ram dump image using QCT's memory debug app
3. Send email to contact point or [email protected]
Which bin file did you use? Zv9? Or ZVB? The demigod thing is nothing. Just reboot. If you can get into recovery, do a factory reset. You might lose everything tho.

I think it was the Zv9 bin file. I just tried pressing the vol. down to reboot but instead it decided that vol. up was pressed and it jumped to Dload Mode. How do i get out of it or stop it.

Press and hold the power button for 20+sec. Next press vol down+power until the capacitive lights come on then release them. That should bring up stock recovery. Do a factory reset. You'll use the capacitive menu key to select.

Go to recovery. Still do the factory reset. Are you sure you used zv9? If that doesn't work, in the teeny bin thread download the original one. If you can also put a ROM on your SD and flash it.

Install LGNPST and download either ZV9 or ZVB bin. And run it.
This should get you up and running. It includes the modem also.
Edit. Zvb is the most current. But we can make either bin work.

Ok now that make my phone able to make calls and send texts and have data 3g/4g. Cuz after i tried rooting the phone the phone lost service and in settings under phone info everything but the ICCID is all 000000's. So does this change things.
I tried flashing a mms zip and now I cant get back into recovery when I pull the battery and press power and volume up/down. It just vibrates again when I release the buttons and tries to boot. Then the phone gets stuck at the boot animation. I have a nandroid backup on my sd card but I cant get to it since I cant get into recovery. What should I do?
I think you forgetting to hold down the home button (Volume up, home button and power button).

Try removing the battery then put it back. Wait a min, does it do anything on its own? Try to power on next, does it still not boot?
