Hello, this is my second post here though I visit this forum quite frequently.
I have a p990, and I have encountered a very strange problem with my phone:
Until yesterday, everything was normal, and every couple of weeks or so I installed a new/updated rom via CWM without any problem (usually).
Yesterday I installed the CM7 Kang from Ricardo, and this also worked well. However, when I tried to install my previous rom again (Gueste 3.1, after 3 wipes of course. The reason I didn't go back to a nandroid backup was because of problem in making the last backup) it got stuck on the 2ng LG screen. the buttons are lighted when I touch the screen, but even waiting 30 minutes doesn't change anything.
Since then, I tried to install many different roms (the latest CM7 nightly and some others), and all gave me the same problem. The only things that I've been able to do in order to boot successfully was to revert to an old backup that I had, or to install MIUI, which did work for some reason.
When I tried to install the same version of CM9 again, I always got a boot loop.
Any idea as to what could cause such a strange behavior and how can it be fixed?
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to give as many details as possible, and I'll be happy to give more details if I can if there are things that I forgot.
Thanks,
Beorn

Try this: go to recovery > mounts and storage and wipe system, data and cache, and flash your rom.
If wiping system doesn't work neither, catch a logcat when the phone bootloops

This fixed the same issue for me.
Wiped everything and flashed CM9. Works great (but battery drain is incredible!!!)
Solved!

Thanks, I did this, and now I was able to boot again with Gueste 3.1 (I'd rather wait for a bit more stable and mature version of CM9).
Actually, I did this thing twice, and it still didn't help, and in the third time I tried to make a logcat (I'm rather new to this logcat thing), and while trying to boot and make a logcat at the same time it suddenly started workind
I just hope that it will stay good now, and that I won't have this problem again in future flashes...
Thanks!
Hey there.
Okay, bevor a few days, i was with my i9000 on Dakry´s ROM 11.0 Black Edition. But this was very buggy and many things didnt worked.
So i heard from the MIUI ROM, watched some Pics etc. and it looked really beautiful, so i installed it.
How i installed MIUI 2.8.17 on Darky´s ROM:
1. I downloaded the ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548796 and put it into internal SDcard
2. I went into recovery, and followed these steps: "do all wipe (wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partiotion, wipe dalvikcacke)"
3. "Go on install zip from sdcard, Select the zip and install" (So, after this step it freezes on the Semaphore logo, without installing anything, after about 20mins waiting, i tryed to go into recovery again, but it didnt worked, so i pulled the battery out. After i pulled it in, i went into recovery again, and go on installing zip from sdcard, now its installing succesfully.)
4. "Reboot and wait a few minutes, reboot, You have finished"
Well, now im on MIUI 2.8.17. Its just so awesome beautiful, i really love it, but now i get many FCs.
e.g. sometimes the sms App FC, and Camera or Gallery, and now i´ve installed the Mishout APP (Shoutbox from MIUI Germany forum), but this is allways Forceclosing
And if i try to charge my phone while its turned off, there is no more Loading animation, just black screen like the phone is still off, but the charger is plugged in.
Did i´ve made something wrong while installing this?
And sorry for my bad english, its not the best, but i hope someone understand me and can help me :crying:
Thanks
Hey there, i would suggest flashing back to stock via odin, root again and flash
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Hey, thanks for your reply.
Okay, i flashed back to stock rom, cleaned evertything up (formated internel usb storage and external sdcard).. Installed root and CWM, and flashed again MIUI. Till now i got no more FCs, thats good, but theres still no charge animation (while phone is off), maybe its a bug from miui but i havent read about this anywhere.
try this, its easier and no need to wipe data: go into cmw, and advanced and then fix permissions

//EDit: Nope, still no charge animation status, and some apps like sms stock app are FC (but only if i delete an conversation). Maybe i should try anoter MIUI ROM? Whats the most stable out there? I have to admit I lost the overview there are so much.. :S
Hi at all,
I've installed cm-9.0.0 one month ago. All things were working fine and stable. No Problems. Yesterday my SGS rebooted automatically. After the reboot I couldn't determine any unusual behaviour. This morning my SGS reboots automatically again but now it's freezing by the second bootlogo (first bootlogo without cyanogen logo, second bootlogo with cyanogen logo). I also can't go into the wipe / CWM menu. Download menu works. Any ideas what's happened?
Best regards
Olli
Hi,
I also had an issue with v9.0.0 : I lost recovery when my phone was in my pocket !
By the way, latest CM9 build for SGS is 9.1.0. I would recommend you to give it a try as I think this build includes bug fixes. When I used this release, I did notice no bug.
Otherwise you could try the last monthly release called M2 but it is CM10, so JellyBean and not ICS.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysmtd
I had such a problem back in days, just go and flash ICS333 and datadata fix file and you will have a vary stable system, try to remove battery than try to enter CWR, if you couldn't, I hope more experience member than me can help

i had this problem too. The biggest prob is the broken cwm. I couldnt reach and last way was always Odin.
Hi I am using CM10.1 nightly dated 8-Jan 2013; with the latest matching gapps file
(10.1-20130108-NIGHTLY-p970.zip)
I have followed the usual practice (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, wipe battery status)
I always select the Status Bar to show battery level as circle with percentage. (I did that with CM10 and now CM10.1)
But this nightly has a peculiar problem: The phone does not display that it is being charged.
Two different displays are affected at once:
1. In the status bar (at the top of screen), the circle should rotate when phone is charging. It does not.
2. When the phone is locked, if I press the power button, the lock screen should show "Charging xx%".
Instead, it shows "Discharging xx%".
I guess a common mechanism for both these displays is broken.
The CM10 used to work fine.
Since I am not allowed to raise a bug for nightlies, I am raising it here.
In case any information is needed, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
I used the one from 8 January but haven't encountered your problem. Like you i also use the circle mod and set the option to always show battery status in lockscreen. Also no problem with the nightly from 10 January.
Is it charging at all? Do you have this with other roms as well and have you tested this?

Yes, it charges normally (the charge percentage increases normally). But at the same time, the lock screen says "DIScharging XX%", and the circle in the status bar stays steady (no rotation).
So far I have flashed 3-4 nightlies in CM10 series. In all of them the display worked just fine.
I would like to mention a fact: I used the wipe routine only for the first CM10+gapps. For the subsequent nightlies, I did not wipe anything (just flashed the new CM10+gapps over the older set.) It simply updated some packages. I never had any issues.
In fact, I flashed the 10.1 also like that (old habit), and found the problems mentioned here. So I followed the wipe routine and then flashed the CM10.1+Gapps once again. But the problem remains.

I had this problem time ago..I am not sure about the way I resolved but I think this is a problem relatet to the custom theme..
Do you have some custom theme installed?
Try to change the UI theme (Settings-->theme) or if you do dot have one (different by the stock one) download it and set the theme.
Then reboot in CWM, whipe cache+dalvik and fix permissions.
Let me know if it will work..

Sorry for the late reply!
I must confess that I don't know where to get a decent free theme. So I searched around and came across a theme called Crystal 2.
I installed that, and then encountered "Unfortunately the UI has stopped working" messages (several-one after another). I also got a few "Unfortunately Trebuchet has stopped working" messages also. Actually the download page pre-warns the users about this possibility, and recommends a routine: Change to default theme>Reboot>Change to the new theme>reboot. So I followed that.
After this I rebooted in CWM, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache and fixed the permissions.
Still both the problems remained: The lock screen does not say "Charging", and the percentage circle in the status bar does not rotate.
I reverted to the default theme. Yet the problems still remain.

I did that TWICE (including complete wipe, which resulted in re-downloading of all my apps, and also getting back all contacts from my Google account).
However, that did not resolve the issue.
I think this is a bug, after all. Several other people are facing it too!
Hope the developers take a note of this. (I can provide any debugging info as required).

When i just recently had the pgroblem, i did the following. Flash a stock v30 ROM, do a factory reset from hidden menu, flash only v20 bin file with cwm patch, once in recovery, start setting up the rom again. Dont use a backup though... when I restored mine, i had the same problems afterwards

Thanks for the tip!
I just noticed that you mentioned v30, but I remembered having V20G.
So I tried to check it in my phone, and found a problem: Earlier I could see this firmware version in my phone setting.
But after installing CM10 (and later CM10.1), this setting is no longer visible.
So I Googled for a solution, and found that version number is embedded in the Baseband number.
Well, my Baseband number is LGP970AT-00-V20g-SEA-XXX-JUL-03-2012+0.
I also noticed that the following site lists a V30C for India. (I am in India).
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1#india
Does it mean I am indeed using V20G, and therefore an outdated firmware?
Just to confirm, (so that I don't mess up) is the following procedure ok?
A. UPDATING THE FIRMWARE:
1. Download USB driver and LG Mobile support tool from here:
http://www.lg.com/in/support-mobile/lg-P970
2. Install both on PC, and connect mobile to PC, to update the firmware.
B. UPDATE THE ROM:
1. Download the V30C ROM from: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1#india
2. Place it in the SD Card.
3. Reboot into recovery mode to run SWM, and select the "Install zip from sdcard" option, and select the V30C ROM.
4. Without exiting from SWM, select the "Wipe data/factory reset" option.
5. How do I flash just the V20 bin file (How do I avoid installing the whole V20G zip)?
Do I extract the bin file first from the zip and copy it to my SD Card?
6. In SWM menu, select the "Reboot" option and let the system restart.
********************
Thanks in advance!
AW: Phone does not show battery charging status
Wrong procedure. You need to extract bin and fls files from the downloaded .kdz file. Then you need to flash it as i said above using SmatFlashTool.
Plus you need to boot up the flashed v30 ROM, go to dialer, type 3845#*970# and from that hidden menu dp a factory reset. Yes it is different from a wipe in CWM. Then shut down your phone, bring it to download mode, flash a v20 bin file, once in cwm, do a factory reset, install any ROM you want, be happy

Thanks for your time and patience!
I am not well-versed in CM ways, so had expected something like this.
Here is the revised take on what I need to do:
1. Update firmware (follow all steps of Part A).
2. Download the V30C and V20G ROMs from: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1#india
Now extract the bin and fls files from the V20G ROM (.kdz file),
using the technique mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692191
Place all the files in the SD Card.
3. Download the SmartFlash Tool (as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803)
4. Reboot into recovery mode to run SWM, and select the "Install zip from sdcard" option, and select the V30C ROM.
After installation, reboot to CM10.1.
5. Select dialer, enter 3845#*970# and press on the handset button (to actually enter the string).
From the menu that pops up, select "Factory Reset" option.
6. Now run the SmartFlash Tool (as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803).
(The only difference is, point to the path of the bin and fls files that were placed in SD card in step-2)
At the end, the phone reboots automatically.
********
BTW I am facing another problem that could block the execution of the procedure listed above:
I am unable to connect my phone to PC through USB cable. The phone is not detected at all.
(It used to work in CM10, but problem started after I installed CM10.1).
I have seen that this problem is posted by a lot of people, and none have found any solution.
To transfer any content to the CD card, I actually swap my SD card into a Nokia feature phone and then transfer the files from PC to card.
Once that is done, I place the SD card back in my P970.
But I think this problem with USB port is going to create trouble for me.
Could you help with this issue?
[RESOLVED]
My further experiments were stalled because of my issue with USB connectivity (which turns out to be a driver issue, as the LG service center is able to connect the phone to their PC perfectly).
But I am glad to report that I installed the latest CM10.1 (dated 20130211), and both issues are taken care of.
I did see the release notes this week which talks about changes in charging logic.
Maybe this was the reason.
ISSUE IS RESOLVED.
Thanks for all the support, guys!
Can I add a question about device off charging? It seems to show full battery icon even when the battery is not full. Is that normal or should it be animated or blinking?

Hi,
Since the issue is marked "RESOLVED", people having the same issue may look at the end of this thread to learn what solution I found.
They will be confused to see a totally unrelated issue being discussed.
Please initiate a different thread.

Hello people o/
I've downloaded a CM11 rom for my galaxy ace and i'm having some problems with it.
As soon as I installed everything(gapps, cmlogin) the phone turned on normally, but now I can't use neither the volume button or the back/options button, and just to add up there's no keyboard installed on my phone anymore.
Can someone please help me with it? It's really frustrating

Boot into recovery and restore a backuped rom , you can also use Odin to flash a fresh stock rom
Here there's a usefull q&a thread, have a look
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313363
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but the same thing is happening to me. Clean install, wipe data, format system and it's still there. It seems that this problem only pops up after installing Gapps. But as far as I know, it's Gapps for 4.4.4. using this particular CM11 build. http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/cooper/stable/ RC10.

You need to install correctly the ROM... which procedure have you followed to flash the ROM?
i have used the CWM-6.0.5.3_1-cooper to flash the rc 14 after clearing the cache dalvik and data.factory reset. and after flashingi have installed the minigoogle apps. i have tried the rc13 ,14 nd the stable release released today. all of them behave the same. Please let me know how i have to enable the keyboard. i am unable to connect to wifi also as unable to type the password in the prompt.
let me know if there is any other process to be followed while flashing the files.

The solution for my my problem was:
Wipe data/factory reset AND
Clear cache and Dalvik cache AND
Format system partition
This can be done using ClockworkMod using various menus.

There is no additional software involved, other than booting into Recovery. – Matthias Urlichs Sep 13 '15 at 10:16

I also had to install CM again after these steps, but maybe because I said "No" to rooting the phone again on a reboot, and perhaps CM does that anyway (yes this is not the most intellectual comment) – Matthias Nov 25 '16 at 16:44
