Hi All. I am trying to fix a phone that is stuck on the LG boot screen. I have tried to put the phone into recovery via the volume- and power buttons. I get to the screen that says delete all user data and I press yes and get to the second screen to reconfirm the delete. I press yes and nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try next? I want to reset this phone for my friends son. I suspect he might have over heated it playng games. Thanks in advance.

My friend got a MP6900SP, and he tried to download a rom and flash it.
Now the phone is bricked, can't power on.
When connect to PC, nothing happened.
If I press power + volumn down + reset, PC will found a device.
No bootloader screen (tri-color), screen is totally blank.
RUU can't found the phone.
I did some research, but got confused.
Most post are for Verizon phone, not sure if they work the same for spring.
So, I am just checking to see if there's a way to revive my friend's phone.
Thanks all for the help!!
try to update via SD card
search for updating the bootloader via sd and also updating roms via SD
sounds like you may need to try updating the bootloader via SD first
good luck

Have you pulled the battery and let it sit for a minute then put the battery back in and tried to power on?
Blank screen and cant power on? sounds like something far more than bricked from the ROM he tried...
If you can get the screen I would try the suggested route with the flash from bootloader/SD card technique but if you cant get a screen at all no matter what and swapped out batteries as well (have seen a bad battery cause similar issues and may be a coincidence this is happening during a flash attempt)

To enter bootloader:
Power+Camera, then reset. No volume button.

Thank you!!
bootloader mode flash was successfully revived the phone.
Not sure what "power + volumn down + reset" mode is, but PC does show fine a data interface when I press them.
Anyway, thank you all for the help!!
You guys are good!!

i dont know how to put my mp6900sp in bootloader mode i tried the above still doesnt work only the start up screen and then it stays on
I don't know what the OP was saying about the volume button.
But just to be clear: if you are stuck at the bootup screen, having problems connecting and/or need to flash via SD card.....you want to quickly press and hold the top Power button + right side Camera button, then the bottom Reset button. The phone should display the rainbow screen and will say "Serial" on it until you plug the phone into your computer, when it should change to "USB".
For more help see this post and because I recommend an NFSFAN ROM this thread and this thread.
Ok So I just bought this att s3 from Craigslist. As soon as I got home it started restarting , it will reboot like after 10 seconds.
It boots as far as the Samsung logo then restarts. Sometimes it goes all they way to att splash screen then reboots.
What I have tried to fix.
1) boot to recovery whipe data and dalvik, but it won't give me enough time to copleate the command before it restarts.
2) boot to download mode but won't stay on enough time to hook it up to my pc the use odin on it.
3)Booted safe mode and the phone booted up all the way then the power menu came up then restarted.
Im out of ideas Do you think the mother board is messed up?
Plzz help thank you for looking and for your help/...

Did you ask if this was rooted before you got it ? So you got the phone home and had done nothing to it before it started rebooting or did you do something and it start ?
I've heard this happen when someone had a wipe for bad and the recovery gets borked but it could be the power button as well. The hard reboot happens after the power button has been pushed for 10 seconds. This could explain the constant reboots/ Mess around with it and see if that helps. I had this happen on a skyrocket and cappy and the button got "unstuck"

It's not really a matter of it not clicking physically on the outside but something sticking under that button.
From your initial post to you stated it not always restarting at the exact same point during the boot up. Tend to make me think physical.
If its not rooted and has stock recovery someone might have rooted it before and then tried to put it back stock and borked it somehow.
Have you tried downloading Odin 3.07 and see if it's recognized ?
Did it boot when you bought it ? Please don't tell me you bought it without seeing it boot up first...

Hey there, so my phone randomly decided to stop working today.
Whenever I put the battery in the phone or plug in the charger, the Samsung screen loads then nothing. This all happens without me pushing the power button btw. Then the power button doesn't work, nor can I access recovery.
Like I mentioned, this all happened very suddenly and unexpectedly. I haven't flashed a rom in awhile so I'm not sure what caused the problem. One tidbit worth mentioning is that my phone would randomly reboot on the rom I've been using, but it wouldn't happen too often.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not exactly sure what I should do in this situation. Thanks for reading.

try to be quicker to access recovery, power off the phone. then press the power, vol up, and home then AS SOON as you see the blue text on the left top side of the samsung logo screen let go of the buttons, it should boot into recovery then wipe data factory reset and reboot.

flash this recovery attached with odin by booting into download mode via power vol down and home, wipe data factory reset and reboot
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390212717148635222 (recovery)
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390275921635705049 (odin)
place in pda with only f. reset time and auto reboot checked. it SHOULD only take about 10 seconds to flash. as soon as your phone reboots hold the recovery combo and it should go to it
I can't really access download mode either.
I'll get to the screen that asks if I want to go into download mode, then push the up on the volume rocker, get to the next screen, but then it goes black about a second later.
Thanks for all the help so far though.

kinda odd. never had that happen before. ,maybe you could try to reflash the download mode into your phone using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125(make sure you use a debrick.img http://d-h.st/iEy for att not sprint BTW)
or use a jig. since your phone can still access the boot interface.

Have you done this and then connected the USB to see if ODIN will recognize the phone? it's entirely possible that you are getting into download mode, but just can't see it..
It's certainly worth a try.
I have a problem on my device I tried to replace rum and stuck in the middle and I turn on the phone it shows the logo of LG and stuck I also tried to burn Boot New Way rows CMD and after that I tried to reset the device I thought I left Rikover no Rikover so I can not install a device can a detailed guide of someone who knows it all because I am concerned that your device will not work Thanks in advance.

Try to go into recovery. Turn off your phone and turn your phone on with the power button + vol down. When the phone turns on,let go and press the same combo buttons again for a few seconds until it shows a factory reset. Click yes for both ( no it won't delete your data) and it will take you to TWRP
ןIt's still not working and I tried it yesterday and now it does not work because it is installed on the device Recovery So how do I solve this problem please help me!
Thanks in advance.

Hello friends.
I got my Pixel XL 2 yesterday and today I'm in trouble already.
I unocked the bootloader, installer twrp and rooted with magik succesfully, but I had trouble installing my apps (titanium backup gave me a parcing error and the googgle play store wanted me to pay again for my purchases for some reason), so I figured I do a factory reset so I get prompted to restore from my old phone via cable. So I went to settings -> factory reset.
The problem is that when android rebooted to erase the data, I instead got dumped into twrp on a screen that says Mount Decrypt Data and is asking me for a lock pattern. But the screen doesn't responds, so I can't proceed. The power hard button just toggles the screen on and off but it does not reboot or turns the phone off when I hold it, so I don't know how to get to my bootloaded to maybe reinstall a factory image or what else to do.
I'm just stuck on that screen without options.
I would very much appreciate any advice.
Hold power, vol up and down buttons until your device turns off.. then go into bootloader by holdind vol down and power
I thank you very much for your reply.
I did booted succesfully into bootloader, but now I'm affraid I jumped from the frying pan into the flame because now my phone doesn't power up at all. If I connect it to the charger I don't get the battery with a lighting bolt that I'm supposed to get. The only life sign I get is if I plug it via USB to my computer, I do get the sound that windows plays when yoy connect something, but other than that, the phone seems to be dead.
I'm guessing it's something with the hardware?
hold the power button till it shuts off

Was the battery low when you started this?
Are you familiar with ADB? When plugged into the computer type adb devices or fastboot devices does it return your device serial number? If so type adb reboot bootoader.
If not I would hold the power button for a good 20-30 second and see if you can force it to turn on or reboot and immediately hold volume down to get back to bootloader.

Did you get anywhere with this? Just curious. I know you're probably upset, we're here to help if we can. :good:
Thank you very much to everyone for your time and help.
Thanks to your advices I was able to solve it. In case anyone ever finds himself or herself out in a similar situation, here's what ended up happening:
After holding the power button for about 30 secs as Namolas sugested the phone did reboot itself and brought me back to that twrp mount decrypt data screen asking me for a lock pattern. It was then just a matter of adb booting to the bootloader and install a factory image as usual.
Thanks again. I appreciate it guys.
