So after figuring out my signal problem my phone worked great. I flashed CM10, bought Apex launcher Pro, tweaked some stuff, installed freedom then I went to sleep. I woke up to hearing my phone ring when I had turned it off the night before. (Technically it froze and I unplugged the battery because the hard reset woudn't work.) It wasn't the first time it froze, but it only froze while using freedom.
I wake up and it's on and working, but lagging so I decided to turn it off via power button. I go to reboot it and it loads into a black screen after just showing the lockscreen. It wouldn't let me do anything on this screen, so I decided to unplug the battery. I went to reboot and it won't. It won't even boot into HBOOT. I plugged it into a charger and it doesn't show the light as charging.
I found this problem on Verizon forums, but most of the people on those forums seem to only know how to call and text and that's about it. I know this is common, but is there any fix?
EDIT: I rebooted my phone several times with no problems. I just had to go to terminal and do "su" then "killall drmserver" to get the Play Store working.

i use AuraxTSense 8.0 with matching kernel and radio. Today I tried to "fix Permissions" using the ROM manager app since my friend brought it up. about 3/4 ways through it said there was an error and could no longer continue with the process. So i just exited the process and decided to just restart my phone, when i turned it on i no longer had any contacts, on my text messaging app it only showed the numbers of the people i was texting and when i went to my contacts it kept loading non stop. I then did a TitaniumBackup and after that restored a backup that i had done 2 days before. I went upstairs when the phone was restoring and when i came back downstairs i found the screen off, and it was vibrating nonstop. i immediately removed the battery and put it in again. when i did that it started the vibrating again. i waited 5 minutes with the battery out and decided to put it back in. it did not vibrate this time and is showing that it is charging. i am yet to turn the phone on but are these signs that the phone is bricked?
Thank You.
Turn it on and find out
Last night I had dropped my phone from about a foot on a sitting-swing and it hit the ground. I have the black case from the sprint store on it. After that I attempted to turn it on and it just got stuck on Samsung loading screen with the genocide 2.0 logo below it, it then proceeded to be stuck there and eventually rebooted, this never seemed to end. When I attempted to plug it in to charge it the battery charging icon appeared but just has the loading symbol inside of it frozen, after many battery pulls and attempted clockwork-recovery boots failing I decided to go to bed. When I awake I went and tried to turn on my phone which immediately booted up into clockwork recover, fearing for my phones safety I backed everything up on it and then rebooted it. It seemed to work fine! It came on flawlessly and worked well. Throughout the day the battery seemed to drain extremely fast and then eventually died, having just gotten home I have found that the same thing is happening and it won't even charge.
Re flash the ROM then flash journaling on zip right after you flash the ROM then re boot & download you're apps fresh cuz you're data might be corrupted! Hit the thanks button if I've helped in any way! ;-)

I flashed back to stock rom to see if it would turn on, same thing happens, and I don't know if this is significant or not but when my phone boots up the buttons light up, then turn off, then back on again and stay on until the phone reboots itself or the battery is pulled.
EDIT: I have a strong feeling it's my physical battery that is causing the issues because it was working completely fine earlier yesterday.
Try booting in safe mode by holding power and the physical menu button until the phone gets to the lockscreen... Im curious to see if it helps because safe mode might help us get out of soft bricks? I wanna test this theory...
No it does not work, just get stuck at the Samsung loading screen. I don't honestly believe this is a software brick either because of the way it's acting, as I said in my above post I believe it's the physical battery and will probably be going to get it replaced soon
Okay, so I got the Tablet on the 15th, and I loved it. But as with all things Android, I had to root it and put a custom ROM on it.
So after some research, I rooted it and put Hydronium on that night.
Followed all directions, and everything went flawlessly.
So the next day, after work around 2pm, I'm messing with it, installing apps through the Play Store and such.
I then set it down for about 15 minutes to eat.
When I wake it back up, I swipe to unlock and the device freezes for a bit then resets itself.
Upon rebooting, I swipe to unlock again, and the issue repeats itself. Freezing then rebooting.
This happens about 5 times, then the device just refuses to wake from any button press.
Almost as it it were off with a dead battery. (The battery had 76 percent charge prior to this.)
Its been like this since. I've tried charging it, but it doesn't respond. I've tried holding all combinations of buttons for over 30 seconds to boot it, no luck.
I've tried plugging it up to power and a PC and doing the same.
Naturally Odin won't recognize it in this state since its not in Download mode.
What do I do? Is there any fixing this?
I truly appreciate the help!
It sounds like a hardware issue to me. Send it back for a repair.
Hi all. Let me start out by saying that this is the best phone I've ever had, and I've never had any issues with it until last night. I plugged it into my friends car charger which is apparently broken and only works a certain way. When I plugged in my phone, the screen flickered and displayed weird lines and colors. I unplugged it fast and turned it off and on. When it booted back up it went from 20% to 6%.
Now, even when using the original charger, it either freezes and instantly shuts off when plugging it in, (and won't boot up until I unplug it) or it will charge for awhile and then freeze. I was awoken today with it just vibrating non stop, I assume I got a notification and then it just froze. I uplugged it, turned it off and on. And now I'm using it to type this. I just don't understand what is wrong with it.
I'm rooted with the stock Rom still running 4.4.2
S-Off
TWRP recovery (obviously my first instinct was factory reset, but it failed doing a backup, so I didn't continue)
Hello there. I have to write this again becuase the last topic I wrote didnt get posted...
I have a big problem with my G3 and I have tried everything I could but nothing helped so I hope you can help me.
First of all my phone is only stock. I didnt try rooting it or installing custom roms on it.
Heres the whole story of what happened:
A week ago my phone started to act strangely. When I tried turning the wifi off it restarted or froze for a bit and then went on normaly as if nothing happened. I didnt even have to input my pin. Then one day I got home and the phone simply started reseting itself constantly. Always loaded up to the pin screen but I didnt even have time to input the pin and it reset it self again. This went on for like 15 reset before I lost patience and pulled the battery which didnt help at all since after being turned back on it went back to the reseting. I found online that it was probably a battery problem but I was impatient (shipping to my country is over 2 weeks and buying a battery in stores here costs twice the normal price of a genuine battery but only for a "fake" battery) so I factory reseted it via power button+volume down. After that it worked normally but I lost all my data.
The day after this I spilled ice tea on the phone. I opened it, cleaned it and let it dry out. Turned it on after an hour of drying and it worked but after maybe 2 hours it began freezing. When I tapped on the screen it didnt react, when I pressed the power button it took more then 10 seconds to react to it. It turned on, didnt react to touch and then in mere seconds it went dark and then turned off. I couldnt even unlock the screen. Tried pulling the battery but then it wouldnt even turn on. It stayed on the LG logo. I left it on the logo and on the charger and after an hour or so it turned on and worked normally so I took it apart and cleaned it once more even under the screws and such and it worked after that. Until today.
The freezing problem returned. I was playing a game on it and chatting via messenger when the phone stopped reacting. I had signal, wifi, I got new notifications and basically everything on it worked but the screen didnt react to touch and when pressing the power button it took over 10 seconds to light up the screen, then it went darker and then it shut down. Couldnt do anything. After I pulled the battery it would get stuck in a boot loop for maybe 10-15 minutes and then load but the phone couldnt be used. Just as before the screen turned on with a delay but no reaction to touch whatsoever.
I tried factory reset, downgrading to a lower android version (from 6 to 4) with LGUP and lg flash tool, and I bought a new battery. Nothing worked. I managed to get it to android 4 but that didnt help either. I though it was a problem with 6 because the problem started after the update, before that I didnt have a single problem with my phone.
Now its in a state where it doesnt work. The phone is running, apps are upgrading after the factory reset and all that but I cant do anything with it. Once in a while it will work normally as if nothing but that is rare.
Could you please help ? I love this phone and I dont want to have to sell it for spare parts.
EDIT: I left the phone running to see what would happen an after several hours an error message appeared saying "Process system isnt responding". After pressing ok it worked fine. How can I fix this. I googled it but all I found was a problem with sd card (none is inside), with battery (I have a new one) and with rooting (mines not rooted).
