I was using MIUI 1.3.25 ROM with no problems for weeks or even months..
One time when I was at work I've noticed that my battery is rapidly decreasing, I mean like from 70% to 30-40% in 2hours - when the device was at stand-by with WIFI open.
After a while, no battery left.
When I got home- I recharged my phone till 100%, but then- when I started it up, it was loading and after few seconds in after the ROM has done loading, my phone did a restart.
I tried to switch battery, did a full wipe and flashed another ROM but still, nothing helped!
I still can't use my phone, I can only have access to the recovery (AMON RA).
BTW: I didn't do anything that could cause this problem (didn't flashed any new room lately, or did something to the settings).
I'm really desperate and I'm willing for your help!
you need to return to stock remove any rot etc and return to shop for warranty repair, its a common problem in the first batch of desires
But how can I unroot my device?
I can't keep my device working, isn't that a problem?
yes, I totally bricked mine trying to do this, luckly I had warranty, took it to the shop and told them that it kept heating up and rebooting then one day it got really hot and turn off and wont turn back on.
So what am I suppose to do?
I have a warranty, the only problem is that I have to unroot my device and get it back to the stock ROM so they won;t notice I've rooted it (in that case- no warranty).
Any suggestions guys?
I'm using my Nokia E52 now, that's a shame for my Desire
I recently bricked my epic 4 g touch . not only did i try to go from ics to gingerbread,i pulled the batteery out midflash(it was actually) stuck,thennt to top it off i used odin to t flash the wrong os!!! so now I have a phone with a black screen and blue flashing light. i have no insurance and i need to retern it .I have heard different opinion from take it in to store to use it as a coaster.
No odin(not reconized
no downloading mode
no recovery
no screen
can i take it in and get a new phone, can they tell i have flashed it?
please help
That sucks man, most likely they will know u tried messing with it. but doesn't hurt to try. Good luck
Did you search the forum first to find out the same problem just like you?
Here is the exactly same case that happened to someone else and the communication is still going on.

I took a stroll down Brick City on Monday night.
I mistakenly used the CM9's recovery to reflash CM9 after I got stuck in a startup loop after a fresh install.
I went to my closest Sprint store and told them I plugged it to the charger and came back a few hours later and now my phone doesn't turn on. Mentioned that it was extremely hot to the touch. They fell for it and I just received replacement today.

What happens when you do a factory reset? Does it load into CWM?
you can access download mode so you can unbrick your phone
I think its not a hardware problem because you can see the lg logo
If you can access cwm menu , wipe user data and cash , then flash hono stock ics.
Then if the phone startup was successful check the hardware parts via hidden menu in stock roms.

Hello,
Guys i did the whole unbricking guide but still when i restart the phone it goes into grey screen when the phone start up even after flashing the stock ICS and the Gb(No i was not able to gain access to CWM). The phone goes into grey screen and wont start up to set the account but if i revome the batter for a few min i can start it back up and go through the google account set up. But after a while if someone called me in the phone i cant hear what they are saying and they can hear me, if i restart is grey screen of death again. :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thank you drumist for looking into this.
No i was not able to get into CWM. I have to do the unbricking guide to ICS was not able to go to GB as i cant root it goes into grey screen after the phone restarts while rooting causing the root to loose connection with the phone.
Please help.
I have the same problem. This is a problem in the system board. When pressed at a certain point the phone can turn on. I think the problem is contact a BGA chip

Yes this is the exactly the issue i am facing day by day it gets worst. The whole thing started after flashing CM10 ROM. the small bsod you get leads slowly into this. Guys i took real good care of my phone it never fell down from my hand nor does it have a scratch on it. never over did the flashing part as well, my advice is stick with the stock ICS. My Nitro is game over i bough a new Samsung s3. just a word of advice dont over do your beta flashing. :crying:
Gray screen lg p930 = solved!

happyneser how did u resolve the issue.
Please advice i tried every thing in the book and did not pull though.
You need to check the power IC, and make reballing
I was treated to the service (good repair workshop), they said that one of chips was soldered askew.
I think it one of this - Qualcomm PM8901, PM8058 and PM8?7? I do not know exactly.

you might want to retract this statement if this issue is caused by faulty soldering and not CM10

Dear Friend,
i believe i am still right the BSOD now a days Laptop are common mostly HP, its Due to the VGA chip being BGA(ball grid array) they are chips with small balls with soldering underneath them used for comm between the chip and the Bord. but went to chip overheats it melts the solder underneath and when it cools back down the solder get solid it a different area(we moving the phone like taking out of pocket or so) which causes lack of communication between chip and board(when they are back solid) it causes BSOD. I believe the Graphic chip in NITRO HD is using the BGA tech(It makes sense) so if our phone overheats too much the chances of De-aligning the solder in the chip is high cousin BSOD. We all know CM10 at the early stages caused overheating while in black screen coursing huge power drain in battery(we have stigmatic data with the help of battery analyst app).
So summer Nitro HD = BGA , CM10= overheating, Overheating=Bad for BGA(Causes BSOD) so overheating Nitro HD causes BSOD there u have it. i case if the phone really overheats while its in your pocket of in a uneven place and the solder goes out of place then you are in trouble like me.
Solution= Re balling or heat gun(temporary) Can FIX it.
So it's pm8028 near mdm9200
I got the same problem last weekend. I woke up and found the screen on and no sound from alarm clock. I checked and the phone got no sound at all.
I restarted the phone and got the gray screen. Late at the day the phone boot again but after another reboot it got the gray screen and never recovered.
I use CM10.1 and wind kernel with no overclock.
Too bad I didn't find any shop that reball the chips so my phone is dead
I got a i9305 today to replace it.
cn you fix the re-ball?

Can you enter recovery mode? If yes, do full wipe then flash your ROM.

Make sure the phone is fully charged before you try to boot it up, if it is fading out after the logo splash screen it either sounds like a dead battery or a badly flashed rom. You can enter into recovery by holding the volume down and pressing and holding the power button till you get prompted to wipe the phone.
I have had a couple of grey screens (or "black" screens) which I was able to recover from, simply by making sure the phone was powered off, then fully charging the battery for 4 hours, then booting into recovery and flashing a different ROM
nz
ok... will attempt to reload
will try and download and attempt .....
best and easiest place to get files??
tks
Okay I recently wrote a thread about the random restrarts on my g3 that happened 10 times a day, but the things have gone too far. As i was having random restarts when I monstly use the camera but not only for about 5 days and some of those restarts were also shutdowns now the problem is more serious. Today i was intending to take a picture of something and as usual the phone restarted but STUCK on the startup boot "picture" that says that lifes good and then goes black screen and startup picture and black screen and so on. I wasn't able to use the phone. I pulled out the battery and tried again but it didn't worked. So as I went home i plugged the phone ot the charger and when i powered it on it started normally and tried to take pictures and there weren't any problems. So I think that this is the battery that is making this **** to happen. I highly doubt that this is software problem but from my quick examination i think that the problem is from the battery . What do You think. Tommorow i will go to my carrier and "ll try to explain them about this. But they are usually jerks who don't know anything about phones. They only know how to get your money.Anyways. Yes.

Are you rooted? Did you flash anything? Did you edit any system files? Looks exactly like when I bricked my phone. There is a fix. Check out this thread and the links in it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-g3-unbricking-steps-clarification-t3119844
Also can you access download mode or recovery. You might want to try them first.
No I havent rooted it or made any system modifications. This problem occurs only when my phone isnt charging. When iits charging even at 100% there isnt any problem
I've gone to my stupid carriers office and explained everything but they do not want to give me a new battery unless they bring the phone to the other end of the country for repair. This is extremely stupid. Now I can't use my phone because its totally "bricked". I xan only use it with my original dc charger if i unplug it the phone shuts off. Yesterday Ive decided to make a factory reset, but i wanted to copy my internal storage to my pc, but the phone won't turn on when its plugged to the pc. I don't know what the **** is happening with this 500 piece of pancake.
well i have finally decided to do a factory reset but after the anticipation and thinking it is a software problem it isn't apparently. Maybe i will just send it to repair and hope that i wait less than 20 days for it to come back. And i hope that they don't figure out the problem and send a new phone but i think it is the battery that is the problem. Anyways the modern technologys are the most incredible thing and the most getting you pissed of one. You pay 500 dollars+ and expect something good and there you go .
So did you do factory reset or not?
Btw, getting phone to repair center is a good decision, they'll see what's wrong.
I have been happy with my G3, only "minor" thing I don't like is the horrible backspeaker (coming from HTC One m7)
Last week I have rooted my LG G3 so I can install Cyanogenmod 13 on it, bcs after some time I felt my phone got slow and the battery life was not that great. I installed it and it got really better. I tried to get a more stock feel so I installed Xposed and the module Android N-ify to get some Android N look to it. Like always, it said my phone can get into a boot loop, but I knew how to fix it. So, one morning I woke up and saw my phone in the reboot screen and didn't care a lot about it. Later I woke up to get ready to go to my lectures, but the LG logo was still there on my screen. It would then get black and the logo reapears. I thought it got into a bootloop and reflashed CM, but still. I wiped the whole system, reinstalled it again, nothing. Flashed stock Firmware to it, still the same. I brought the phone to the workshop where I work and a coworker took care of it, saying he installed the softwer anew and it really looked like it was fixed. I got home, plugged it into the charger and when I got back it was like before, restarting... It didn't look like it was software based so I searched the forums and saw that a lot of similar problems were solved with buying a new battery. I did the same but it got even worse... Before I could actually sometimes get pass the bootloop but WiFi, Bluetooth and the other connectivities wouldn't work, now it just keeps bootlooping. A friend of me, who works at a repair service, said I should buy a new "power flex" for the phone and install it. I bought it, but I am not sure if it will fix it. It should arrive sometime next week, but I wanted still to ask here if somebody has somekind of idea that could help me. And yes, I tried also to put a piece of paper between the battery and the simtray, but didn't help me... Would the problem be solved if installed the power flex? And did this happen bcs I rooted my phone?
