I was trying to flash the Lifeless rom back onto my phone, and had Aroma wizard started up, and was checking the options I wanted, when I remembered that absentminded me had forgotten to do something in the OS that I can't remember at the moment. I didn't see a cancel button in Aroma, and since I'm so impulsive, I held down power and volume up to reboot the phone. It nearly booted to the OS, with the capacitive keys lighting up at the bottom, when it suddenly shut off and attempted to reboot (maybe because I was flashing AC!D audio earlier and had checked the build.prop tweaks). It didn't reboot, but seemed BRICKED.
Ok, the actual problem.
It seemed totally hard bricked to me, nothing when I plugged it in to my PC or charger, so I, enraged, walked away and left my Optimus plugged in. When I came back, I saw that the notification light was blinking red, one shade of red brighter than the other. I gained some hope back by...
The FIX
... following the directions on YouTube (look it up, I can't post links) on performing a hard reset by disassembling the phone and disconnecting/reconnecting the battery connector. I, however, had to do a little twist to get my phone to PARTIALLY boot.
When I detached the battery connector from the mainboard,(phone still plugged in) the phone would proceed to bootloop, showing up the unlocked Google screen, etc. (flashed the ZVB Teenybin, that's why the Google screen) until it got to the battery charging icon in the center with the lightning bolt in the center. At this point, I reattached the battery connector and BOOM, the phone rebooted NOT LOOPING , PARTIALLY STILL but with the battery icon animation stacking up.
Unfortunatly, my battery was nearly dead so I then waited for a bit and let it charge up.
I held down the power button + vol up (on my bare phone with the backing taken off) to get it to boot into fastboot, then TWRP to flash the rom. I SUCCESSFULLY flashed the rom (relieved at this point) and I booted FULLY :laugh: . It got me to the Optimizing apps numberhere/biggernumberhere screen. Suddenly, the frickin phone shuts off and the notification light blinks red, but with a delay this time instead of a brighter shade of red. I did what I did before numerous times, but the phone would stay alive less and less.
I let the phone cool off for a bit (Heating issues on the Optimus
), tried charging it again, and I managed to finish optimizing my apps. It loaded up the lock screen for a split second, and then shut off with the LG goodbye animation.... Which is a hell of a lot better than a blinking reset light.
So after it shut off I let it charge...
And I was back!
NOTES:
The video I describe was originally made to resolve some other reset indicator, with alternating blinking capacitive buttons and the notification light, but also helps with the issue I had with solely the notification light blinking.
I don't think that anyone has had this issue since not really anyone is retarded enough to force reboot with Aroma loaded up.. but I decided to type this up just in case.
