Root Is my lg esteem done for it????

[Cropduster26]

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) 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:

k once u boot in to recovery u gonna scroll down choose install from zip card then choose zip from SD card u should c that file u drag in there select it and install that's it u have any problems doing it let us know

@mrpnut ok sounds good, but (noob question) how do i flash it in recovery???

volume + and - buttons, power button, then release and press the power button 3 times on the lg logo. agree to factory reset, confirm it, dont worry, it goes to cwr. select install from sd, select file and install.....

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.

Just trying to spread the love. Haha

[Cropduster26]

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
