    Default Stuck in boot loop

    Ok my phone is stuck in boot loop, and most guides say to use the Lg mobile support tool, but the phone needs to be on to do that. And also, other guides say to hold down Home+Volume up+Power... But my phone wont stay on long enough to do this...

    Side note: Phone turns on for about 2 seconds then turns off... Then repeats.

    Any fixes?

    EDIT: I have done NOTHING to the phone except use it normally... i.e. No rom flashing or anything like that

    Bootie Loops are not a naturally occuring breakfast.
    If you are inclined to spend a lot of money and want a pretty trophy with which to pass the next few years of your life that talks to you in a condescending voice, can't navigate to save its life, expects full control over all you do, demands $13 for a $3 purchase, allegedly has a single recessed button, needs an expensive computer and a credit card to do anything, hates your music and has purses designed just for it...

    Get married to someone you hate... or get an iPhone.

    What do you mean 'the phone won't stay on long enough' to get into recovery? It SHOULD be off to do the button combo.

    Turn it off, then hold home+vol up+power until after the LG logo flashes and the screen goes black again. That should take you to the stock recovery. If that still doesn't work, let us know.

    You're not supposed to use Rom manager as it is nit compatible. You should check out the stickies for a solution.

    I have the same problem right now. I hold down power and volume and then it shows reset info and then it goes to the android and the box and a gray loading bar below that and then reboots to the same problem. just a black screen looping.

    Anyone have answers to this. I can't even complete a factory reset so how do you fix this?
