A lot of the time when people think they're blocked out of recovery mode they'll sit there and try again and again sometimes for up to a half hour. From what I've read from other people (this never happened to me) a lot of them are eventually able to get into recovery and wipe data, flash a new ROM, or whatever else it is they do.

That's all the advice i can give you, just keep trying and wait and see what some of the people that know more then me about this will say.:)

Define "nonstop." The first boot on a fresh ROM can take a several minutes to progress to the boot animation and you should just not touch it for about 15 minutes.

I think I'm just going to "Like" every new user's thread where they did not use ROM Mangler.

I flashed the debug thing and rom and im using xiona

which ROM?
were there any errors?
need some more info here....

if it was a brick, the lg logo would repeat. if you are just seeing a black screen, im wondering if you flashed a VC or V9 rom....


have you tried booting into recovery manually? using the key combo?

It sounds like your battery went out while it was building the caches. That should not effect recovery, though.

Have you tried the key combo to get into recovery? Hold Vol Down + Home + Power, let up when you see the 'LG' disappear. You can reflash the ROM and gapps if you can get there.

I am finding it strange that you can't get into recovery even though you borked your Android install. It's obvious that you have a boot loop, but you should still be able to get into your recovery. Can you get e-mode? You might read the 'Unbrick for some forms of brick' thread here.

And keep trying for a bit.

I agree, its very odd. Before offline charging was enabled in bobzhomes kernel, i remember that if your battery died on cm7, the phone would appear to bootloop as it tried to boot, died, tried to boot, died. This would eventually stop once the battery had enough charge to let the phone boot.

However, flashing a ROM has NO effect on the recovery partition, especially if you are indeed using xionia.

Either something else happened, or you arent trying to get into recovery properly.

Who's CM7 build are you using?

Zefie?
Drew Walton?
Kraven?
i think there was another one too....

Read the Xionia thread to make sure you are booting into recovery properly. Something doesnt seem right.

Pull battery, then reinstall, do not plug phone in, then try the key combo for getting into recovery.
