Ok, Hello Everyone. I have a little issue with my rooted L.G Esteem. Last night I decided to change the boot logo one my phone (BAD IDEA) So i started to mess around with rom toolbox, I successfully changed it on the first try with out a hitch, After seeing it in action I wasn't liking it as much(SHOULD HAVE LEFT IT:mad:) and deiced to change it to another one i found, before going to bed. Now heres where the problem comes into play. This morning when I got on my phone, It was running bit laggy, so like always I gave it a quick reboot, now as am seeing the new boot logo I installed the night before for the first time. And was really liking the look of it, Until it froze and never booted up!!! I try'ed multiple times, but it would never boot up my phone. It stayed stuck in limbo type of state, and all it would do is restarting its self over and over again!!!! So if there's any person out there with time to in lighten me with a idea or so, of the possible status of my phone it would greatly be appreciated. Id like to know if i now own a 345 dollar paper weigh? thank yous for your time hope to hear back from someone...:ciao::ciao::ciao::ciao:

you can go into recovery mode? Button Combo: VOL +- and POWER, press power 3x at LG Reset Screen.

A tip for future reference.

Don't go changing things on your phone unless you understand the basics of a rooted phone. Such as recovery(cwm), getting out of boot loop, push/pull to sd via pc, etc......

I say this only because next time you tweak something your phone MIGHT NOT boot ever again. So it's nice to know what you can do, what you can't do and what to do in case it happens. That way you don't brick your phone and have a 300 dollar paper weight. :D

Just trying to spread the love. Haha :D



Most info on this phone can be found here

I tryed the zip you told me to use, but i had no luck with it. So i just ran the recovery the file I had made with rom manger, an presto I got it running again. By any chance would you happen to know where i can get a stock factory rom( idk if that came out right). kinda like the one the phone comes with straight out the box??? or can mybe point me in the right direction, to get a good rom thats stable and can solve my battery issue?? thanks

I dont think so, could you explane to me the the proper why of installing the homless kernel. i might have installed incorrectly

well the way I installed kernel I always wipe cache and dalvik cache then I flash it that's how I do it try it like that


k for ur maps to stop running in the background go to rom tool box go down to auto start manger scroll down for maps tap on it and disable it that would stop running in the background u can do that with any app u want to stop auto running ;)
