its just sitting on the freaking LG screen... every time i vol dwn + pwr and double press power it goes normal but then cwm doesn't come up and it just restarts and hangs at LG again. i ****ing hate this phone can someone please help me out? why won't cwm load
can you describe exactly the process you took to port CWM into your phone? Let's see if something happened along the way to cause it to not work properly.
Also, is CWM the one not working, or did you flash a ROM on your phone and something went wrong, and you are trying to get to CWM to restore your phone but not getting anywhere with it?

followed the steps on the cwm thread. used terminal emulator. worked great. was working fine until now. i flashed kernels beta 2 and only wiped cache and dalvik and now nothing is working. no cwm to restore, can't even get to the at&t boot animation. this is a mystery.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I can't help much at all since I haven't done either yet (CWM or Kernels/rom installations) so rather than making things worse for you, I'll leave it to the Pros here to help you. Im sure one of them will respond back soon enough.
Try this:
Disconnect the phone and pull out the battery.
Put battery back in and plug phone to a wall charger. Let it boot to the battery charging screen. Once there press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN
Depends on type of the problem, it helped me 9 out 10 times...
tried it at least 20 times now. just realized that i didn't format /system nor did i update cwm yesterday. probably the root of all these problems. I'm just gonna start fresh with the kdz. I'm on a mac though so its going to be a long night starting with boot camp.
I'm having the same problems...well kind of...
I followed all the instructions for CWM and everything went great. No real issues but had to reinstall the .img twice and then was perfect thereafter. Saw the beta 2 ROM and figured what the hey...downloaded and installed to SD Card. Used CWM/Nandroid to do a backup then installed the zip for the ROM from the sd card.
It took a matter of 10 seconds and said it was successful/done and restarted phone-got a boot loop on LG screen for about 15 minutes and finally did a battery pull-tried several times to get it into CWM with no luck and finally was able to get in-but had to plug it into the wall and wait for charging screen to show. Was able to restore and all was well until turning the phone off.
Turning off the phone now causes the phone to loop on the ATT screen-I can get into download mode and can get into CWM and restore and all is well until turning phone off.
I figured it just needs a fresh install so I've been trying to flash the kdz but the firmware updater keeps faulting and never makes it through the process...so I'm stuck...have all the files I need (I believe) and have everything in place...just can't get it back to normal.
Any ideas from here?
Thanks in advance!
Yeah, sometimes it could be quicker just start over and restore backups...
While you there, would you mind do this: Needed SystemUI.apk from SU640
[EDIT]
@fishscale28:
did you do kdz unbrick before? If not, then perhaps you are not doing it right...btw, kdz file for LU6200 didn't work for me.
Nope-never done a kdz unbrick before-I have the kdz v10i_00 for the 640. I have all the drivers installed, the parser deal installed, windows enabler program running and use the kdz updater to update the firmware. Is there something Im missing here? Seems like several people have gotten the updater to crash when trying to update the firmware...any ideas why?

I went through a few of the threads and saw there was a .dll file to be deleted in the updater folders so I did that and now I can do absolutely nothing with the program. Only start and exit...am unable to select anything, view anything, get anything to function...

I installed from the kdz yesterday and didn't have to delete any files. I'm on Win 7 x64. The first time it ran it told me to restart my phone cause it didn't see it, but the second time it ran until my phone reboot and I killed the program. Be sure you have the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN with UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe in it. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your help. I did all that...again...I even deleted, reinstalled all the updater stuff, tried running as admin, tried running in compatibility mode, ran it after deleting the recommended .dll file and the option to do anything was gone, put it back in and was able to run everything fine and a little after extracting the kdz it would crash. I unplugged the phone and re-ran the proggy and it went through the check, noticed the phone wasn't hooked up and finished the check. Plug phone in, start process over and proggy crashes.
I don't get it-I would say its the wrong kdz but its not. I installed all the drivers and it still doesn't work. I've tried every combo of everything and the proggies keep crashing.
Now I was finally able to get into CWM to flash another ROM and was able to get one going-was able to boot into the os but same as before-once the phone is turned off it starts the boot loop. Now its even harder to get back to CWM but a restore works from there. Any ideas on why the boot image keeps reverting back to whatever was screwed up? Has to be something that happens once the system starts up again as it's after a restore and when the phone is turned off. Stumped and would love to be able to use my phone...It seems like flashing the kdz would be the sure fire way to get it done-are there options aside from the updaters that keep crashing?
Thanks in advance!
Maybe http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ can help?
alright so i got to the 4% thing and my phone rebooted but it kept looping to the screen LG Optimus LTE bootscreen with the pink candy cane. thats it. i did vol dwn + pwr and got the android arrow and box with loading bar no text, then it rebooted back to the optimus lte screen. never got to the setup screen. tried the kdz again and my phone died. now when i plug it in i only get download mode... does it charge in download mode and why did it not get to the setup screen?!

Even after running the kdz, my phone still does that after installing CWM. I don't know if it's something with my ROM or something with CWM, but if you can't get into CWM you probably don't need to run the kdz. I couldn't get into CWM anymore when I ran it.
So you're saying you go into the boot loop after turning off your phone even after unbricking?
I don't get it-now I can't get into recovery and it keeps up with the boot loop. I've tried running on the virtual PC/XP deal and it doesn't crash but now it doesn't even see the phone...reinstalled all the drivers, etc. and still no luck. Is there anyway to get the kdz installed without this updater?

Yes. I don't think that was happening until I put CWM on. But I can live with it until the issue is solved. I don't think I'm the only one having it.
Ok, so I flashed a MIUI port for the AT&T Note 2, and it was disgusting...it crashed everything, and needless to say I ended up stuck at the boot logo for a long time. FINALLY managed to get it to flash via Odin...so I flashed Stock Rom...and now it's stuck on Samsung logo...Ok..so I go flash CWM...do a wipe and everything, and install CM10.1 via that...stuck at CM logo. I've left each ROM plugged in, stuck on boot screen for over 20-30 minutes each. I'm at a loss of what to do. Could I need to flash a kernel? or am I missing something obvious? The good news, I guess, is with a few steps, I can get into DL mode and use Odin, and I can flash CWM and get into that..but I can't inject anything into my phone so CWM can use it, I only have what's there now, which is CM10.1. I'm so mad...I've never had too many issues with ROMs but this one jacked things up badly...guess that's what I get for using a port even though it noted that everything was working now. Anyway...does anyone have any advice?
Edit: I flashed CWM, and tried to clear cache/dalvik then factory reset...the first two worked...as soon as I hit factory reset, that's where the screen goes black and it resets...it's like it just refuses to do it. I'm seriously at a loss here. Is it toast?
Edit again: sorry but I'm trying more to give more info. I went into CWM and went to advanced and started formatting one by one...it's when you hit format /data that it immediately dies and restarts. So..something weird is going on there. Can I use a PIT file for this phone, if it exists, to reformat and just get it going? I'm desperate...

First let me say ive used this site many times and never needed to post as all my questions were already answered, so for the many times ive not needed to post thank you all for being so great and helpful!!
That being said im hoping im just using the incorrect rom or going about it wrong. we switched carriers at work and my sprint lgog is sitting in a drawer while my wife uses a droid 4 on a regional carrier because they cant flash phones running JB. So for mothers day i thought i would downgrade to ICS and get this phone flashed for her. Thus far ive managed to root, unlock bootloader and fix two softbricks using teenybin's work. The softbricks came after trying to install both LS970ZV9_ODEX_STOCKROOT_1_13 and LS970ZV9_DEODEX_STOCKROOT_1_13 using twrp. I selected backup and wipe before doing both. Is there a different rom i need to use post VZB to install a ICS rom? or are these roms ok im just installing them improperly? TIA
*update* after trying to install the LS970ZV9_02.bin update with lgnpst the phone hung at 85% and upon reboot would hang at the 4glte screen, I tried teenybin unlocker again and the phone wouldnt boot at all. The lg logo would flash and then blank screen...i couldnt seem to toggle the power at all and it wouldnt even charge on wall charger. after 20 mins of frantic "oh #^#$" button pressing i finally got it to go into recovery mode and recovered back to zvb. It seems mostly back to normal now other than the wifi doesnt seem to be on even though it says its on, no emblem in notification area and wont connect to my wifi when told to.
*update2* after doing factory restore i got my wifi working properly. So i then rerooted and then reinstall teenybin with lgnpst i was able to get into twrp and restore my primary backup.... So now i THINK im back to square 1, rooted, unlocked vzb...at least everything seems to be back to normal. 3rd time is the charm which in this case means i think im going to wait to hear from someone more knowledgeable than i before i screw something up i cant fix
4th attemt 4th fail
so i tried to flash LS970ZV9_02, a totally stock unrooted, locked rom i found here on xda...i did a factory reset before booting into twrp, wiped cache and dalvik, loaded the rom and it boot looped....:crying: i dont know what im doing wrong unless these phones just refuse to downgrade....
I suggest you get on the optimus g IRC. They are very helpful. You may need to find the older radios and flash those after you downgrade. LGNPST should work, normally when it reboots at 85% its a good indication that it worked properly. Perhaps you could find a copy of the ls970zv8.bin and try to install that. Good luck.

Hi everyone,
today I woke up and as usual i turned on my Gnex GSM (that has TWRP 2.8.0.0 and PA 4.6 beta 3 release1) and after a few minutes it started rebooting. i tried to remove battery at first but nothing happened; every time I put in the battery it starts, ask me for PIN, seems everything ok but reboots again.
I tried to enter in recovery mode to do a factory reset and even if TWRP says successful wipe nothing happens because when i reboot everything is like before. Itried to change recovery from TWRP to CWM but I can't even do that it "stucks" with TWRP. Fortunately I made a backup recently so I don't mind losing everything but if everyone has a solution please tell me because I don't know what to do!!
Another thing that compared in the log of TWRP during wipes was some strange ( for me, I'm not a developer) errors like "E: enable to stat '/data/media/.....'
If anyone can help I'll appreciate a lot!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Thanks all!!
Same thing happened to me too....
Everything was working butter smooth when **** hit the fan.
I own GSM Gnex, rooted with stock 4.3 with Xposed installed. Custom recovery was TWRP
One fine day I was sitting with a friend in an restaurant when my phone suddenly started rebooting after reaching the homescreen. Mind you I can unlock my phone but after a couple of seconds, it would reboot
For two days, I did everything I could, used Wugs NRT, did a factory reset using TWRP, used ODIN, Flashed stock using toolkit and did that again manually using ADB. Nothing happened.
It says 'successful' when I flash using NRT, but nothing really changes and it freezes halfway while using ODIN and 'FAIL' error shows up.
After two days, I gave it to the shop from where I bought the device and its fourth day today but he still isnt able to repair my phone.
Mind you, I can access TWRP and all the functions, even factory reset but nothing happens.
At first I thought it might be moisture but it wasnt the case. I think it has to be an hardware issue
:crying: This problem started when I tried to install ResurrectionRemix Rom for the The LS980, I had a ZVE Radio on my phone, before I rooted my device, I used StumpRoot to root my phone, then after that I installed autorec to be able to use TWRP, then after that i backed up my device so that I can start flashing the Rom, so after that I wiped Dalvik/Cache/Data, etc, except for internal storage, then i install the Rom, and after that I installed the Gapps for the Rom, and after that I wiped Dalvik and Cache and restarted my device, and its now going into a bootloop, so at this point I'm still able to go into TWRP so that I can be able to restore my backup, but it wasn't there, so I went back to the Install tab and it looked different like it was less files than before, it's like the system on my phone re-wrote itself, idk, so then I went into the file manager that is in TWRP to search for my backup file, I found it along with all my other files, but I didn't know how to be able to restore it, so (I think this is were I made things worse for myself) I went to the Install Tab to install the ZVC Radio, because I thought the Rom wasn't working because of the different Radios my device had, so then I restart my phone, and now it's just a blank screen, that keeps looping, so I started searching on XDA if anyone else is facing this issue, and I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 it helped me get out of the deep brick whereas there was no recovery mode before, But I'm still in a Hard Brick whereas the LG Logo is shown for several seconds and then it says LG Security Error and shuts down and I still dont have download mode, but if I'm connected to a computer it just goes into a bootloop with the same message on the screen, so I installed LG drivers and ADB Drivers for my phone to be recognized on the computer, and the computer recognizes the device when I'm in recovery mode, but at this point I don't know what to do, and I certainly don't want to spend 150.00$ for a replacement, so if anyone can help me, I will very much appreciate it.

All non stock require zv8 radio. If your highlighted image in recovery says update by adb. You may be able to grab official zve update from sprint g2 general.
Or hit the wipe data and see if it goes to TWRP.

Which part or both fail? The wipe data to TWRP, is a shot in the dark in going to recovery. Adb side load official update was also.
I read somewhere of repairing the partitions by pushing them. I'll see if I can find that thread.

Nope, the phone's dead, I really damaged the phone's software really bad, I didn't follow the instructions correctly as stated on the RessurectionRemix Rom Thread , so I've brought this upon myself, Thankfully I've received a replacement today, but now I'm feeling iffy about rooting my phone and flashing roms again, because I don't want to go through this predicament again.
Update: Thank You for helping me try to get the device back into a functional state, I really appreciate it

hey, techgirl90,
