Your likely stuck at a boot loop. Did you make a backup before flashing the rom? Why didn't you wipe data+cache before flashing?

You will need to get into the recovery that you flashed. And if you made a backup you need to restore with that backup.

With the phone off you hold SEND+MENU+PWR until the LG logo screen comes up then let go. That boots you into recovery

it wont turn off unless i pull the battery and for future reference how do i do this properly

 

[reventon670]

i did the backup but now how do i do this properly and what does it do to the phone? and for instance if this happens again with hitting those buttons alway able me to backup my phone?

-Then power off your phone.
-Hold SEND+MENU+PWR until the LG logo screen comes up then let go. That boots you into recovery
-Did you make a backup? If you use the restore option to restore with the backup you made.
-If not, go to this thread and download the Ally Stock v8 rom http://androidforums.com/ally-all-things-root/162973-high-speed-download-links-ally-software-es.html
-Then at the recovery screen select USB-MS Toggle and place the Ally v8 rom you downloaded into root of the sd card. Then follow the instruction to close the USB connection.
-Once the rom is on your phone do a data+cache wip and use the flash an zip form sdcard option to install the Ally v8 rom you downloaded.

The backup will restore you phone to the rom you had previously
Yes as long as the recovery is flashed in this it is you will always be able to boot into recovery and restore with an backup or flash with a new rom.

i did the backup and restore abd all that happened was it did its thing than it just reboot and did the same thing the phone said "droid" and did the like animation i waited till it was done than it did the animation again and it just kept playing over and over, i thnk i backed it up

Okay the best thing in my opinion would be

Do either 1 or 2 (try 1 frst if that dosent work then try 2)

1. Boot into recovery and do a data+cache wipe then try restoring the rom.

2. go to this thread and download the Ally Stock v8 rom High Speed Download Links for Ally Software(es)
-Then at the recovery screen select USB-MS Toggle and place the Ally v8 rom you downloaded into root of the sd card. Then follow the instruction to close the USB connection.
-Once the rom is on your phone do a data+cache wip and use the flash an zip form sdcard option to install the Ally v8 rom you downloaded.

 

[reventon670]

and i also went to backup and it seems like its just backing me up at the point im at. the point where its ****ing up, also what do i do with this ally v8 thing

, go to this thread and download the Ally Stock v8 rom http://androidforums.com/ally-all-things-root/162973-high-speed-download-links-ally-software-es.html

This is the process you would use the v8 rom with.

the reason i tried that clockwork thing is because it showed a picture of different looking this you could do with the ally, did i just do it wrong? and is this v8 this like the same thing?

 

[reventon670]

i rebooted to like factory defauls so i gotta restart all this shit. also can you guys help me through getting this clockwork rom to work i can get rooted myself and everything but can you guys just help me with the clockwork stuff or whatever rom is better

the reason i tried that clockwork thing is because it showed a picture of different looking this you could do with the ally, did i just do it wrong? and is this v8 this like the same thing?

-The Ally v8 stock rom is a copy of the rom that shipped with the phone.
-I have no clue what you mean with "a picture of different looking this".

 

[reventon670]

haha idk it just looked different, but can you take me through how to do the clockworkmod to my phone correctly. if you know how

First of all i want to make sure your phone is usable. Are you able to use your phone like before the boot loop happened?

 

[reventon670]

im using it right now like the first day i got it im texting and everything...the only thing that pisses me off is when i text underneath the person im texting shows a callback number like i dont already know it...wtf but yes its usable

Okay good glad we got your phone working again. As far as how to flash roms and the whole clockwork thing. I'm making a guide that will include pictures that should make things easier. Won't be posted until sometime tomamrow though.

 

[reventon670]

is this clockwork rom better than the stock os?

 

[dots]

Clockwork Recovery is not a rom. It is a recovery image that gets flashed to your phone and you use SEND+MENU+PWR to boot into the recovery.

 

[reventon670]

im doing the velocity rom again but this type i wiped data and cache but since i know how to change it back to the regular main os itll be ok but with you guide me through it pleaseeeeeeee

 

[reventon670]

nvm i guess im not as ******ed as i seem i did it, i just wonder whats the big deal about velocity

 

[dots]

You likely experience that boot loop because you did not wipe data+cache like you said in your original post.

nvm i guess im not as ******ed as i seem i did it, i just wonder whats the big deal about velocity

It is a lighter ROM than stock that adds a few performance tweaks. More than that its rather new and really all we have at the moment

I'm making the guide that will explain the exact ways to correctly flash the velocity rom. So be patient

It will be up tommarow
