ROOTED LG VORTEX WONT BOOT after changing options in root toolbox app
I am a noob at this whole rooting, flashing mods, etc. But when i got my first smartphone the LG VORTEX in the begining of May, 2011 and started downloading apps i noticed a lot of ROOT apps. Ever since then and finding out what root was..I just couldn't keep my hands off anything "ROOT" ever since.
Anyways my problem is:
I downloaded the app Root Toolbox. My phone is ROOTED, although i have been to chicken to actually flash a custom ROM. Obviously I should have. because after changing almost every option i could in the app Root Toolbox, i chose to reboot after changing the options. Well i chose just "reboot" and now my LG Vortex will not boot up. It stays stuck at the black screen that says LG in the middle.
PLEASE HELP I THINK I NEED TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM. BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT UNLESS I CAN ACTUALLY GET INTO MY PHONE!!

Guys I am fairly new to the "rooting" scene but today I used Unrevoked3 to root my phone. I wasn't planning on doing a custom rom but I've heard so many good things about it and also saw that you could do it easily with Rom Manager that I decided I'd try. I downloaded the newest stable version of Cyanogen Mod and attempted to flash it. Now I am stuck on the boot loading screen and I'm freaking out. Can you please help?
EDIT: Pulled the battery, rebooted in recovery, did a system wipe, CM6 is running, sheeww!
Hi all
I unlocked and rooted my Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) phone months ago and recently have struck a very weird prob. I had been swapping ROMs for a while, when recently the phone bricked on a ROM switch and would not go past the loading part of any rom I tried. I used RootKit to flash it back to the manf. Rom and that seems to have worked. The problem is though that my phone can not update (to manufacturer jellybean update, It starts but then hits red triangle android) or even flash clockwork recovery image. Every time i try any Recovery installer it just freezes up and says the app is not responding. Additionally though I have rooted and unlocked the phone and have superuser app, root checker tells me my phone is not rooted.
Please help
Thank You
1) stop using toolkits. you have no idea what it is doing, and sounds like it didnt really root your phone
2) return your phone to stock with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
3) root your phone with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
I tried everything, got my phone rooted, it is unlocked (its a Telus phone but using it with Rogers). I can't get into recovery mode no matter what I try, I always end up with the dead droid screen with an exclamation point coming out of his chest. Sometimes it just gets stuck in the LG logo (thats when I need to go into download mode and reflash the .kdz).
I don't know why I can't get this working, I wanted to use a custom ROM but can't even get to CWM....
Check post #3 for fix...
I am having the same problem.
...Anxiously waiting on some expert advice here.
I got it working and currently on a custom ROM. I fellow member gave me this info:
To root it: follow the instructions right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2181103
To unlocked it and install Recovery, just search for FreeGee app (from app store).
I've rooted it successfully and tried the FreeGee app, however, after the FreeGee completes and I reboot it gets stuck on the LG logo.
I rooted my Nokia X phone recently and install Rom Toolbox by jrummy. I also messed up with the Taskbar theming option and reboot the phone. So now every time I start my phone up it keep showing the startup screen, boot and then reboot. So I need the solution really quickly because this is my day-to-day phone and I use it to call. I also don't want to reset my data because I fail to install CWM recovery (it keep showing the nokiaxrec.img is not a proper image) and can't flash CM or MIUI so I decided to have a tweak and after all of my hard work I don't want to lose it. Thanks. :laugh:

So I did a hard reset in the recovery and It's now even worse... I'm running Ubuntu and I have just flashed TWRP. But I haven't renamed install-recovery.sh to .bak and now When I boot into bootloader it keeps reboot
And help?
Ok guys I am pretty sure I fubar'd my tablet.
I am stuck in a recovery loop. When I start the tablet it just goes back into recovery. Which if I still had TWRP I think I could still do something, but I flashed cyanogen recovery trying to flash cm13 since I cold not get anything else to work. I cannot boot into download/firmware update screen. The screen just flickers a little and goes dark.
A little background:
Started when tablet forced install of 5.0 update and I was in a recovery loop. I flashed 410 test build, rooted, flashed twrp, installed stock rooted ROM. Everything was fine. Then tablet did it again, this time I just flashed rooted ROM and factory reset. Even took the steps to fix the white lines and storage issues. Was working fine. Got home a few days ago and I was in a recovery loop again. But now I don't have the bootloader screen/download mode/firmware update screen (whatever you want to call it) so last night i tried to download cm13, Gapps and cyanogen recovery with no avail.
I can access adb on my PC while in recovery, but when I try to access ADB shell I get unauthorized something or other. Because I cannot authorize USB debugging, because ROM won't boot. I tried to flash stock rooted ROM from cyanogen recovery and it says not signed or something like that.
Does anyone have any ideas? I really think I have screwed the pooch here.

if you have a stock recovery image flashing it is easy, i had a LOT of troubles with my v410 and still am working with it. i have mine rooted, just with TWRP though, i cant use xposed framework, which negates why i rooted this in the first place. anyway, through much grit and determination flash your stock image after wiping what needs to be wiped and doing all other necessary things. Then, you must download kingo root, supersu, superuser. flashify would help with the flashing i hear, but it has troubles with the v410. kingo root was an apk i managed to find buried under a million viruses on the 34th page of google..or something. rooted mine in one click, from stock to reboot to twrp root.. many glitches.
I need help myself, deleted my "Phone" system app, causing me to lose connectivity with my data plan. cant seem to restore it, and flashify nor twrp has been able to flash a custom recovery, or a backup, im at a loss.
Help? We seek the same thing.
Ok but how do I flash the stock recovery image. I can't use fastboot. ADB says I am unauthorized.

I am at a complete loss. I am by no means a developer, but I do know my way around. I really think I have FUBAR'd this one.
Kind of stinks, I give up. Anyone want a bricked v410?
