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.
Alright, I've been at this for like a week now and am in desperate need of some help.
My phone appears to be stuck in a "read-only" mode. It boots normally and can be used, but is kinda unstable and has a tendency to reboot whenever it feels like it. Any changes that are made to it are reverted when it reboots.
I've tried doing factory resets, using fastboot to erase/format/reflash partitions, reload stock using ODIN, and even reflashing the OMAP, all to no avail. Any time I try to do anything, the phone goes back to where it was the before. I can't even change the recovery/bootloader/radio, or even relock the bootloader. It's as if the phone is stuck in a single point in time.
I'm using a GSM Galaxy Nexus, running a deodexed version of 4.1.1, with the latest baseband and bootloader, and the latest version of CWM.
And no, I didn't make a Nandroid, but I don't think that would help seeing as how I can't even hard-reset my phone. At this point, if I could just find a way to wipe everything and reflash to stock, that would be all I need.
So any ideas or thoughts? Anything I might have overlooked? In all the time I've dealt with Android, this has never happened to me and it's got me stumped.
Could your phone possibly be booting into safe mode? Are either of your volume buttons stuck? Just brainstorming here

If there is such a thing as safe-mode, it's the first I've heard of it. I can get to Download mode, recovery, fastboot, and even the regular system just fine, but I can't change anything.
I've spent probably the last two days trying to just flash a different bootloader. I have PRIMELC03 right now, and I've been trying to revert to PRIMELA01 to get it back to stock, using the img from the Google Developers page.
It seems everything I try (fastboot, ODIN, CWM reflash) do nothing. The bootloader stays as PRIMELC03. I'm stumped.
EDIT: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=51562 Well I tried that and I can get into safe mode and out of safe mode, but nothing seems to be different. I know it's not booting into safe mode since it boots to Nova Launcher.
I'm beginning to think there is a serious issue with the NAND or something, since I can't flash anything, and the reboots don't seem to be attached to anything I can see as far as logcat.
Well, it seems that this phone is completely borked. I can't even erase the EMMC using omapflash.
Talked to Rogers and gonna try and get a replacement now.
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...

So heres the background, I flashed a new rom and while in the procedure of it getting passed the boot animation and it was downloading my apps from the play store, it rebooted and did that over again and again, without getting passed the boot animation. So logically, I factory reset the phone and try again for another 3 times, no dice. The same thing happened again, It would boot up, then at the boot animation, it reboots itself. I can get to my CWM Recovery just fine and interact with it just fine. So lastly, I flashed my backup of CM 10.1, but it happened again. I really don't know what to do, so please give me advice and answers to my predicament.

Just out of curiosity, why would returning to stock help me in this situation? I'm not saying that it won't help, but why would it? Can you explain?

Stock is usually going to be the most stable software. If stock doesn't work, that probably rules out software problems, so your hardware is the likely problem.
I tried restoring back to factory after being stuck in a boot loop, thinking my root was the issue or something idk. I used flash tool to try and flash back to stock and fac reset and it gets to the end where MiniOS tries to do its thing but i get no promts and it just says factory reset status 2. its driving me insane trying to get this thing flashed back to stock. i dunno if im missing anything or something but im foloowing the steps like to the letter and it keeps bricking. any help or advice here that could help me out? and sorry if this doesnt go here and stuff. im new to the forums and all that.
Hi,
I had the same problem yesterday. Even worse after that factory reset status 2 my phone couldn't be detected anymore by flashtool 1.8. So I tried the kdz method. This worked for me and from stock I was able to use one click root and flash twrp with flashify. Then I went straight to android 8.1 with magisk root. Don't forget to flash mr bump after root without any reboot in between.

yeah i ended up getting it out of status 2 and tried to run stock for a bit but ended up having issues where it would just randomly shut itself off. and then boot loops. switched out like 3 different batteries, (1 that came with the phone, a not so great quality 6000mAh, and a new stock lg battery) and still having boot loop issues. so im thinking that the phone is just dead. so with tax season coming up soon i may just wait and get that new sexy razer phone. i need something new anyway and better than this walmart zte placeholder im using. lol
