First thing I would do is use three button combo (hold power, volume up and home button till you see I9000 screen) to see if you have CWM recovery. If you do I will need to know what you were flashing from (rom & kernel previous to the flash you got stuck on. If you don't have recovery (please try a few times as it is tricky for some people) try try three button combo with volume down button instead of up to get into download mode so you can flash with Odin on a PC. You can search on you tube for a guide or I'll check in on this thread again to see how your doing and what your previous rom and kernel were.
hey
do you have anyother rom in your SD card??other than the one u just flashed??
Can u enter to CWM??
Try that by:
1.Remove the battery and then re-insert it
2.Hold the Volume Up+Home(Center) Button+Power button TILL your phone boots i.e;Till you see "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000"..
If u cant, there is another way to recover your SGS...but conform that first...
thank u for trying 2 help me, yes I've a working CWR and I solved the problem, yet I'll back to stock 2.3.3(since Samsung dumped our region and we r the only how haven't got the value pack ).
I did made some many threads here and on other websites asking for a stable ICS and I've try them all but for nothing , so plz check if their any thing wrong in what I do in flashing a new Rom:
1- wipe data + cash
2- wipe devlak cash +battery state
3- go to storage and format every thing but SD card
4-flash the rom
5-sing in in my Google account than backup my contacts
6- open file manger then downloading MyBackUp Pro and restore my App's
7- sing in my FB, twitter, instgram,whatsapp,viber...
8-sync my FB contacts
9- charge my phone fully then apply battery Calibration
10- start using my phone
while after stable using(less than 24H),the notification that tells u have a low memory showed up ,also while after that FB and twitter start to force close ,than the Google Apps such Gmail & Gtalk(I even haven't use Gtalk in my life) than I got the message :the process com.google.gapps ..... force close ,also the process include the word (media) ,I turned off the phone and restart it , the phone is stack at logo, thats my story with every ICS Rom I tried
Hey

JUST FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
(If ur on 2.3.6 Rooted)
1.download the rom and place it in ur phones SD card,
2.wipe data,then cache mem,AND if required Dalvik cache,
3.instal ZIP form SD Card>chose the zip file and click yes,
4.after flashing the rom and addons,reboot,
Wait for sumtime and finish the setup procedure...
then flash ONLY a few software which are imp to ur use
then keep the phone like that for a few days and then install ur apps...

Hello !!
I have just tried flashing my phone to V10A and I wanted to update to V10F (restoring to stock).
Now my phone is not starting and it starts ""vibrating"" and sometimes screen is orange and something blue ....
What should I do ?
downloaded .kdz from here: http://www.lg-phones.org/official-lg-optimus-4x-hd-firmwares-download.html
Followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861854
This is my first android phone so I need a lot of help. Did I completely brick it ? PLEASE HELP !
Woah, never mind. It was because I just inserted USB cable without the battery. I thought I'm screwed
Take a deep breath.... relax.....
Try doing it again.
Remember to put the battery back in after Step 5 in the guide
---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------
Most of the people here get our firmware from here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/
Thanks for posting, and I relaxed a little
Since this thread is already open, I would ask what should I choose at "PhoneMode" ? DIAG, CS_EMERGENCY or EMERGENCY ?
Stated in the guide. DIAG
Preparation:
Download the kdz file of your interest (any version will do) from http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Download the necessary Windows softwares here http://www.4shared.com/zip/Gl2T6aLJ/KDZ_FW_UPD_P880.html
Download usbdriver for LG P880 from LG support website (LGUnitedMobileDriver - Ver 3.8.1)
Recovering steps:
[1]
Extract the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip anywhere (example: C:\KDZ\)
Install msxml.msi (located in \KDZ)
[2]
Install the usb driver (LGUnitedMobileDriver - Ver 3.8.1)
[3]
Reebot your softbricked Optimus 4X in SW Upgrade mode (remove the battery, hold the (vol -) key and plug the cable in, remember not to press the on/off button, just hold down (vol -) and plug the cable in.)
"S/W Upgrade" texts will appear on phone screen, release the holding of (Vol -) and wait for Windows to finish installing drivers for each component: modem, port, etc.
[4]
Open the Windows "Device Manager" > Modems > disable the LGE Mobile USB Modem
Make sure the driver for LG port is correctly installed
If you put off SIM card before flashing, you may find Windows failed to install modem driver, yet disabling USB modem is still recommended just in case.
[5]
Insert back your battery
[6]
Run as administrator Windows Enabler.exe (KDZ\Windows Enabler.exe) --->Make sure to right click and Run as administrator... not double-clicking
After run the app, an icon will appear on your tray, single-click on the icon until the "ON" text appears over the icon
[7]
Run as administrator KDZ_FW_UPD.exe ---> Make sure to right click and Run as administrator... not double-clicking
[8]
Locate the .kdz file that you want to flash
[9]
Select the necessary options:
Type: "3GQCT"
Phonemode: "DIAG"
[10]
Click on "Launch Software Update" and don't click on anything else
[11]
Ignore the error log, it's normal, just click OK over the notification and let the software-updating progress finish about 5-7 minutes
[12]
WAIT until your phone reboots automatically, unplug the cable. and click on EXIT
[13]
The automatic booting may bring you to recovery mode
If this is the case, just do a hard reset (wipe data). The phone in this recovery mode might respond slower than normal, just be patient to wait the phone to respond after making an option
If you've got only boot loop after flashing .kdz, just get to android recovery mode by press and hold [vol -] and [power], then do a hard reset and reboot again

try this apps
actually i think after flash and factory reset, u need to root back ur phone
Flashing through the guide you are following and the one given by razerblade17 will REMOVE all root. So your device will be unroot as far as first boot is concerned.
for rooting follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818502
AND IMPORTANTLY, factory reset your phone after root or you might later complain battery don't last.
---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------
Simply doing a factory reset will not remove root
I flashed something in German. It shows number 3 when shutting down and some apps with prefix 3 in German.
This is the most obvious way of telling I flashed something, isn't it ?
Flashed this provider:

Did LG PC Suite do this when updating from v10a to v10f ?

To check if you have flashed it's kinda complicated.. follow my steps closely
1. Check if your phone is able to boot into the lockscreen.
2. Pull down the notification drawer, press the Gear icon beside the Date
3. Scroll down to the bottom
4. Go into About Phone
5. Scroll to the bottom. Check the Software version states V10_ (whatever you've tried to flash)
If nothing out of what u expect is found then sorry you've just flashed your phone.
After I flashed that German ROM, everything was almost the same until I factory restored it, than I found out it was German and used one of links from site you guys provided. It's working fine now.
Thanks !
btw: What exactly did you mean by restoring after root ?

do a factory reset from either the settings or recovery (hold vol down + power while phone's off until u see the recovery. Use vol up and down to navigate and power button to select) after you obtained root. You can do the reset anytime after root but until then you might get shiity battery life.

hello guys!
don't know if any one have done this before but am sure i did something really stupid!
here i have a galaxy s plus
and i tried to update it to jelly bean!
and just went to "Echn!kan"
and followed the steps ...
but i still get back to the booting menu
and tried it lots of times but nothing happened
and thin i read some where that i should root the system before doing any thing !!!
and that's what i didn't do!!!
so now i have a really a empty phone!!!
dose any one have an idea to solve this?????
Can you tell me exactly which steps you followed and what the current situation of your phone is?
As far as I know you don't need to be rooted before you flash another ROM.
You're saying "but i still get back to the booting menu", do you mean that every time you turn on the phone you end up in the recovery? In that case you are experiencing a simple bootloop which can be solved in a couple of minutes.
u need to have cwm recovery before flashing roms . stock recovery wont work , i think u ended up in a bootloop ... did u made a backup ??
flashing with odin through downlod mode will solve ur problem
HIT THANKX IF I HELPED

-----------------------------
Before you Proceed –>>
Make sure you have Samsung Galaxy S Plus with model number i9001 only. Trying this tutorial on a different device may eventually brick your device.
You need to have Recovery Image installed on your device. If not then check out How To Install Clockwork Mod Recovery On Samsung Galaxy S Plus i9001.
Backup all your personal information on your device.
Use AppBak to backup all your apps.
Use SMS Backup and Restore to backup messages.
You can backup your contacts using gmail .
Charge your device battery with atleast 75% of power.
Make sure that you have device drivers installed for your Samsung Galaxy S Plus. If not, then download them from here.
Enable USB Debugging mode. Go to Options > Applications > Development > USB Debugging.
How To Update Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001 To Android Jelly Bean 4.1 | CM10 ROM
First you need to download the Cyanogen Mod 10 Rom file and Google apps package and save it to a convenient folder on your PC.
Connect your device to your PC via USB cable.
Copy the downloaded file on the internal SD card of your phone.
Now turn off your phone and boot your phone into recovery mode.
Now to get in the Recovery Mode, press and hold Volume Up + Home buttons together until recovery mode screens turns up.
Now select ‘ Wipe data/Factory reset ‘ and confirm on the next screen by pressing power button.
Now select ‘ Wipe cache ‘ and confirm by pressing power button.
Now select ‘ Advanced –> Wipe Dalvik cache ‘ and confirm by pressing power button .
Then select ‘ Flash ZIP From SD Card ‘ and then select Choose ZIP From SD Card and browse to the CyanogenMod 10 Rom zip file that you copied to your device’s SD card in step 3. Select the file and confirm by pressing power button. The installation will start.
Once the installation is finished, install the google apps package by following step 9.
When you finish installing google apps package, select ‘ Go back ‘ and select ‘ Reboot system now ‘.
Now your device will boot with the whole new Look and feel of Jelly Bean 4.1.
---------------------------------
and i meant with getting back to the menu that when i finish installing the rom and google apps i get back to the recovery menu as nothing happend!!!
and now i was disparately trying to backup the system and same nothing changes!!!

Relax, we'll be able to get your phone up and running again!
As pretty much everyone so far was already thinking, you're probably just experiencing a bootloop. This is only a minor issue, I've had it too. Just follow the instructions you find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330
If all goes well, your phone should start up in normally again. If you have any more questions just let us know.
Hello everybody,
so I'm as new to this forum as I am to the android world. Just this Wednesday i bought a new LG Optimus 4X HD on amazon.de
Thought it would be nice to start of with Cyanogenmod.
So I started my search for some good "How-To's"...it were many I went through and I already invested many hours in getting this running. Sadly it still doesn't work. I actually wanted to stay with one How-To but at one point there's always a download not working so that other sources are needed.
So what did I do...
-I rooted it yes (at this point I needed to download "Rooting Toolkit for Optimus 4X HD" which wasn't downloadable so i switched to another How-To, btw. first How-To: http://androidlegend.com/android-4-2-1-via-cyanogenmod-10-1-for-lg-optimus-4x-hd-p880-cm10-1/
-Installed "LG 4X Recovery 1.2" and installed this way CWM.
-At another point here I installed ROM Manager, installed it and went into Recovery and here happend the first problem, kernel panic.
Said something like "couldn't load kernel/wrong kernel", kernel panics...Me panics too
Anyway, force kill -> auto reboot -> still kernel panic -> again -> batterie out and a few times with usb cable connected to PC -> Batterie again, works :good:
Ok so Clockworkmods Rom Manager seemed to be not that good... did recovery boot with LG 4X Recovery, tada works, I go into the folder with the Cyanogenmod-zip and want to start the ROM installation and it says Status 7 (of course I googled Status 7 and searched here in the xda-boards for it, nothing helpful found yet)
Installed older version of LG 4X Recovery (1.1), still same fault.
I uninstall the ROM manager, redownload and reinstall, try to backup -> Kernel panic.
I search for a different How-To, yet nothing good happened. Others go something similar and say "at booting press On-Button and Volume down-button at the same time", I do that -> Kernel panic
I have no idea whats wrong with the kernel...but normal booting works fine.
Next I read something about needing to unlock bootloader, have a workthrough aka this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020
After I enter "adb reboot oem-unlock" in DOS command window it should say something concerning "open bootloader", but not in my case, just a normal reboot happened (this is what it looks like at least). Checking the hidden menu also doesn't show anything as I don't have the option with the boot-loader status there.
Next trick, I go to LG Recovery again and first wipe the whole stuff and try then the Cyanogen istall, still doesn't work and as I wasn't able to backups before (tried Titanium but it froze at 12% and the stuff about ROM Manager is told^^) I now had a clean factory install, all my work before lost, nothing rooted and still a kernel which panics when I do the "safe-boot"(this volume- and on-button-thing).
I also tried 3-All-in-one solutions, neither of them worked. (2 german ones, and one english one)
So I think thats it, ah wrong, still not finished. I also tried to install a new kernel to erase that f****ng problem with the kernel panic. I choose to use WerwewolfJB_v005 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256899
the easy and fast way made the same as the try before with the "open bootloader"-try, just normal restart. When I enter the second line in the command line, it just says "waiting for device".
So yeah, thats it. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know what I could also do, or is this case unsolvable? Is the Smartphone broken or did I make a mistake at any point? What should I do?
I'd be super glad if anyone could help me here. I hope I described my case well enough. I hope I didn't forget anything.
Thanks in advance!

I am also new to this stuff but maybe i could help you anyway
What is the Firmware Version of your phone?
(Sorry for bad english )
The old "adb reboot oem-unlock" didn't work for me on UK, v234-000 either. I followed this thread instead and it worked perfectly first time.
As long as your phone has been turned on and connected to the network for long enough on v20x you should be fine - once you get the notification from LG about your phone being registered or similar then you'll be fine, normally a couple of hours.
Just reflash your phone to stock, wait for the notification and try the two-step method from the above post and you should be fine.
root , recorery and unlock boot loader
you must have your bootloader unlocked in order to flash kernels
( this worked for me but I can't guarantee it will work for others you can only try !! be aware when messing with firmware and bootloader you warranty could be voided )
make sure your phone is rooted you know if it is rooted because you will have superuser installed in your apps ( grey square icon with green android head on it ). if not I used this method to root my phone so try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688
if your phone is rooted next you will need a recovery this will help to backup your phone and create a restore point so in case any thing goes wrong. to install a recovery go to play store and download rom manager ( clockworkmod ) once installed open rom manger and select recovery setup. then select install or update recovery then select your phone ( lg optimus 4x hd). then select flash clockworkmod recovery. and then wait while it downloads and setup . hopefully when finished it will say succesfull. ( make sure phone is rooted or it wont work ) to check clockwork mod is working you can reboot into recovery through rom manager or power off phone then hold volume down key press power button to power up but keep holding volume down key until recovery boot up. ( be a wise option to backup phone now in recovery)
next to unlock bootloader ( so you can flash roms with kernels) go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020
and download the BL_unlock_new .rar file when its download copy it to your desktop on pc and then extract it to desktop on pc . now make sure your phone is not connected to your computer go to phone settings,then go to development options, and then select usb debugging on. once debugging is on now connect your phone to pc wait for it to connect you can keep your phone on charging mode. now open the BL_unlocking_new extracted folder on desktop on pc and double click on the BL_unlock file a box should open up on your desktop asking you to tap a key to continue so press a key now your phone should reboot and some white writing will appear on screen .on your desktop the bottom line should say please... now tap a key on computer it should say press any key to continue < waiting for device> now disconnect phone from computer look on phone screen it should say now ready! now hold power button for 10 secs and let phone reboot. to test if bootloader is unlocked on phone go to dail pad and dail this 3845#*880# you should get the hidden menu on your screen scroll down to bootloader unlock check and select then select bootloader unlock check and hopefully it should say unlock...
now you have root , recovery and bootloader unlock, now you can download a rom for this phone copy rom ( should be a zip file ) to your phone then open rom manager on phone and reboot in to recovery or power off phone, hold volume down button then press power button should now boot into recovery then you want to use volume keys to scroll down and select wipe data/factory reset with power button then scroll down and select advanced then scroll down and select wipe dalvik cache then you want to select go back then select install zip from sd card then select where you saved your rom sd card or external sd card then select rom then select install...
hopefully if that's helped you or anybody else ...

If the OP can possibly get his bootloader unlocked following the official method then he should, rather than using that file. Nobody really knows what all the 'fuses' that are blown by using that file do and that would certainly result in his warranty being voided in any country, whereas in a lot of countries his warranty won't actually be voided by using the official unlock method.

edited last post with a warning you could void warranty !!
Ok, thanks for the answers so far. But still, wasn't able to get any further.
@Dexxon: Firmware version is 4.0.3
Besides: Kernel Version is 2.6.39.4 and there's also something written like "[email protected] #1" in the hidden menu...is this normal? AP Bootloader Verison unknown and AP OS Version is 2.6.39.4 also this jinwoo...
@SimonTS: I tried to unlock the bootloader with your link and advices (which is the same as i tried before).
Got a message saying "Thanks for buying this LG Phone..blabla" and I guess thats what you mentantioned about that informing.
Battery was loaded to 100% so i connected it to PC, said "LG Software Mode Connection" on the phone (before I always took that "data exchange connection"), went to the adb folder and made a command window there, entered "adb reboot-bootloader", smartphone reboots, should stay in LG window screen, but it doesn't. It just boots totally normal into the home screen.
@Hursty uk: As I said in the first post. Everything regarding the ROM Manager from CWM sends my Phone into kernel panic. As this is quite hard to get a normal reboot again (even battery out for some time and back-in doesn't solve this) I really prefere to not use this option. As it is just frustrating and doesn't help.
And yes it is already rooted (I have SuperSU and I checked it with the "Root Checker"-App) Everything says it is rooted. I rooted it with that method: androidlegend.com/how-to-root-lg-optimus-4x-hd-o4x-p880
Ah I really don't know what else to do. Is something just wrong with my device?
btw I also can't do a software update with the LG Software from there website, so I could at least go 4.1 instead of 4.0.3 atm...
When I try it that way, and install the USB-Drvier for LG P880 the SW-Update button stays grey and is unclickable even though the phone is connected.

To unlock the bootloader following either of the official methods requires you to be running v20x (The LG Stock v4.1 code) first, so that is why the commands are doing nothing for you.
For the moment, forget about CWM, Root, Bootloaders etc - the key thing is to get your phone working again. Can you reinstall stock v10x software following the guide on this page?

that would of been my next answer @SimonTS . A while back a flashed something on my phone and it got stuck at the lg bootup picture what I had to do was re-install original firmware ( through KDZ files) to get my phone working. I would try the link @SimonTS suggested .

I did everything like said at the link but at the last point the program (kdz_fw_upd.exe) crashes. Tried it 3 times, every time as administrator like mentioned in that forum post. I'm using Win 8 64bit btw...
Screenshot is in the attached .jpg. My system is japanese, but I think you can figure out what this kind of window means. It just says that the program isn't responding and needs to be shutdown.
I tried it like mentioned with putting the battery back in when the log starts and without putting it back in, in both cases the program crashes after a few seconds (~10 secs) when started.
Where do I actually see which V**x version is installed? If v10x or v20a? Surprisingly the LG Support Tool said I have v10H when the phone was still connected after the crash. And it offered me a SW-Update. But I haven't done that one yet, not sure if that would work correct...
@ chrisus
man, what is your phone status now?
in what situation you are actually?

+1 this. Also, there have been many problems with running these apps using Windows 8, and you need to make sure you're not using a USB 3 port as they being other problems in to the equation.

Ok so I've flashed JB with the LG Updater (without batterie and volume down button pressed connecting to PC, than start the update -> meanwhile putting batterie back in)
JB worked just fine and I also don't had the problem with the kernel panic when booting with volume down and power button.
So I thought, everything fresh and also different, I might give the ROM Manager App again a try (after I rooted it that way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688 )...well, wasn't that smart. After I installed the Recovery for P880 in the ROM Manager, i made a normal boot (just for sure), back in the app, i wanted to go into Recovery mode and again kernel panic, bit different this time cause it does a shutdown after 5 seconds^^
Anyway, this way it didn't work, from now on I also couldn't go into safe mode anymore, same kernel panic.
As this kind of recovery doesn't seem to work, I tried the "old" way with the "LG 4X Recovery" I mentioned before. After recovery installation i just wanted to boot normal aaaand nothing happened. It stayed in the LG screen. Restart and anything didn't help here so I backed back to v10H with previous methods. Now I just got a security error saying "morning call is empty", no idea what that means but I just did the same method for JB again.
Worked afterwards, so I wanted to try it without ROM Manager Recovery installed and just LG 4X Recovery, (after rooted again of course) and it didn't boot again. Same game again.
So now I have JB installed, I'm going to root it now again, but I don't know what way I should go for doing the Recovery Part. I'm stuck on point 3 here
Any advices? btw thanks a lot until here, at least I made it half-way-through to JB now. Worst case I'd stay with that one at least.
I'm not entirely sure which threads you've been reading. Once you have the stock v20x ROM on your phone, just leave it alone for a few hours and make sure it is fully charged
After that, try to unlock the bootloader before doing anything else. If that works then you can worry about CWM and custom ROMs.

ok.
now i suppose you have a functional rooted JB 4.1.2 device.
from that you have to going on to rest of the steps to have CM installed on your device.so if it is not that (functional rooted JB device) is need to flash again JB and rooted again.
if you have the proper kdz file the tutorial for flasing is there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
and the tutorial for rooting device is there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688&highlight=root+jb+4+1+2+
after that make some reboot of device to verify that:
1. the device boot to system normaly a few times (just let the device boot itself)
2. the device enter in S/W Upgrade Mode (with the device off, put the USB cable in device and PC or in device and AC adapter and press VOL DOWN + POWER) a few times
3. the device boot in Stock Recovery (with the device off, press VOL DOWN + POWER) a few time.
if you can manage to do this tree steps a few times normaly then you have a fully functional device and we go to next step that is Custom Recovery
the chance to make this steps without errors is more big if you start from scratch meaning fully wipe the device and flashing stock LG software on the device.
so, let as know here when you are ready...

he should unlock bootloader before flashing custom recovery.
so, dont use rom manager before you unlock bootloader, that's why you get kernel panics.
I write here to help me solve a problem with the mini s3 after turning not spend 30 seconds when powered down or rebooted ...
I did full wipes and reset from recovery and nothing .. I did the * 2767 * 3588 # either .. by odin I did a wipeI8190.md5 and nothing .. the cel turns back on as your last finished reboot .. in fact if I make a modification before they shut down or restart the phone back and not assumes the change .. and the USB debugging is not activated
I wonder if anyone happened to this and can help me.. the warranty is lost
thanks
First thing is to see if stock firmware in odin can help.

if you see in the last part of the second video i did the factory reset and the phone restart without nothing happend
i think you should flash TWRP or clockworkmod, make a backup of your files also the present rom,
After that, flash with a new rom like Cyanogenmod 10.2 from Maclaw and revert with the difference, maybe the problem will be fixed..

you can do it with your android recovery, mount you internal or external sdcard with android recovery, download TWRP with zip format. and flash it within your android recovery with install.zip.
You can search on Youtube for tutorials.

thanks for trying to help.. :good:
Hey Brother,
Very Welcome, yes i've seen the videos, try to mount the internal sdcard with android recovery and copy the twrp recovery, or use another phone and copy the twrp file onto external SD Card, there's an option on recovery called update.zip flash with it,
if there's no change at all, try to flash it with ODIN.. if it don't recognize due to absence of USB Debugging, there's a tool called Samsung GS3 Mini ToolKit. maybe can help you. if not try with samsung KIES .. if also nothing helped you at this point, search around the internet for your problem, maybe you can find some useful help..
Cordially, I.R.

actually its really simple to solve this problem...
1 - download and install the samsung drivers from here (http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=61)
2 - download odin here and install it.
3 - reboot your pc (this is the easy way to kill all kies processes and unwanted things) and make shure that kies dont start with windows.(if you have it installed)
4 - download this http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=301 (its the maclaw cm 4.4.2 for odin with the recovery twrp)
5 - flash the phone with odin(FOR THIS YOU NEED TO BOOT THE PHONE IN DOWNLOAD MODE, just boot the phone pressing POWER+VOLUME DOWN AND THE HOME BUTTON until a triangle and a warning appears follow maclaws guide -> http://maclaw.pl/installation-guide-golden/)... as soon as the flash finishes you'll be trapped in a boot loop (missing GAPPS)
just try to boot it the system should crash dont worry you're on the good way.
5.2 - remove the battery and put it back in (now you phone should be off)
6 - reboot on the new recovery that comes with the maclaw Rom you've just flashed for that you need to press POWER + VOLUME UP AND HOME BUTTON and mount you SD CARD.(you phone sould appear on you pc as a storage device or something like that)
7 - download this GAPPS here(http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=164)
8 - copy the downloaded GAPPS to you phone.
9 - go back to the 1st menu of the TWRP (a.k.a recovery) and you should see a thing saying install zip or flash zip (something like that)
9.2 - select the Gapps you've downloaded and flash it.
9.3 - after the flash finish select reboot system
9.4 - phone should start installing updates after the reboot
10 - wait until it finishes and the problem should be solved. now you can go back to the stock rom or stay with this rom.
the problem here is there's an app causing that problem. i had the same problem a few months ago.
the phone whould just crash or not function at all, rebooting all the time or from time to time...(it was one of the games i've installed from market)
after the phone is working dont install apps from unknow developers. even if it is from the market (believe wen i say you can get apps from the market that makes you're phone to malfunction).
