[Q] HELP!! Stuck in LG boot logo!!!

---

Please help! My rooted LG Revolution won't turn on. When I unplugged it from the charger this morning I powered it off. when I went to power it back up all it does is flash the LG logo and do a little vibrate like it is force closing! I have 2 days left before I can no longer return it. I did several battery pulls also with no luck. thanks in advance!

Did you install Clockwork on it, or just rooted?

If you only rooted it, try performing a factory reset.
This can be accomplished by holding volume down and power until you see the screen change to "Clear data and factory reset?".
Press power to confirm.

You will lose your data, but your phone should return to normal.

Just rooted, no clockwork. I will give it a try! thanks!

Tried your suggestion...just keeps flashing and vibrating. Any other suggestions?

Did you ever see the factory reset screen?

No I didn't. just the LG logo flashing and the force close vibrate. the only way I can get it to stop is to take the battery out and put it back in. Then when I hold the voume down and the power button it just starts doing it all over again.

make sure you are holding it long enough. You have to continue to hold the power and vol button for sometime before you get the recovery screen.

As rooting will generally not brick a phone (it is the recovery mod that generally bricks), if you cannot get it, take it back tell them you woke up and it was on the charger like this. They should exchange it with out issue. (Do not mention that you rooted the phone)

It sounds to me like your phone is defective, it happens.

Another option is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1120062 .

I can walk you through it on IRC tonight if you're on around 12PM Pacific Time...

If not, there are guides for using LGNPST on the internet.

Good luck!

Thanks! Held the buttons down for a full 3 minutes and nothing. Is that long enough? Read through the other info you posted and boy does that look scary! LOL! I will try tomorrow when I have more time. Or maybe I should just return it since I have only had it for 12 days

try pulling the battery and holding the power key for about 30 seconds. my original droid use to do this from time to time and it always worked for me.
