Re: [RoM] YOUR-MOM-ROM - with POWER CONTROLS ! ! ! Tried to install it, says no signature, signature verification failed. Any thoughts?

If you have Google Voice activated on your google account, install the Android Google Voice program and set it up to handle voicemail for your phone. Works great (essentially the same as visual voicemail), with the added benefit of reasonably good transcription so you can get a text version of...

Welllll, things haven't been all rosy. I tried a few more times to do a full power off and power on. On the fifth one it locked up and was stuck at the LG Logo. I did the "insert power cable without battery" trick and that cleared it up, and since then I have powered off a couple of more...

Well, following junkshow's order of events, I first had the LG logo sticking when I powered off and tried to turn back on. But then I did the power cable in-out fix, and just turned my phone on and off three times (using normal power off, not quickboot) without getting stuck on the LG Logo! I...

Thanks so much, junkshow. I am pretty sure I tried those steps at some point, but your success gives me motivation to give it another try. I'll report back.

CWM recovery. I still can't figure out what happened. It looks like clearing out the data somehow corrupted the application files, because everything was force closing (phone application, google framework, keyboard) while it attempted to run the setup wizard. Thankfully the restoration...

Two things: 1. Don't do ##786# if you are running LegoRom! I did this today and totally messed my phone up. It went through a crazy loop of failed processes, reboots, recovery boot loop, etc. Thankfully I am now an expert at force flashing so I was able to repair things by forcing V9...

I did have this same issue when I was on nROM/ThunderRom running VC. Since I am back on V9 for now I haven't had any issues. My guess is it is related to the same issue causing the stuck LG Logo. But not sure, just confirming I had the same issue. Let us know how the ##786# works out.

That sounds about right to me. But I know it isn't an insurmountable problem, because when I was running CM7 beta, I never got stuck on the LG Logo. If we can figure out a way to identify the changes in the bootloader or the init (from what Zefie said earlier, technically init is the first...

Exactly right, that's why I am on V9 with Lego right now. That's also why I know there is nothing inherently wrong with my phone, or the ROM, or the custom recovery (both drelisdee's and CWM Xionia work fine when I am on V9). It is something, probably in the init bootloader, of the VC OS which...

In sense that I was able to get to a rooted VC, the process worked. But I did get to a "bricked" (really just stuck) LG Logo phone. I think it is inherent to my phone, not the process. Force flashing works for some people, as evidenced by the thread about flashing straight to VC from rooted...

Wait, you experienced it on LG stock VC recovery, meaning from the OTA update? So on a completely stock phone? That's crazy, it implies that there is definitely something wrong that Sprint changed in VC that is causing this problem.

Mine also got hung up when charging overnight, again after powering off completely. The.weird thing was that it would sometimes charge partially and get stuck in the middle of the charge cycle.

Very interesting, seems to confirm that recovery is not the cause, or maybe the lack of the new VC recovery is related. So it looks like VC is somehow changing the init in some way to cause the brick. How would you compare the init from v9 to VC to see how it changes?

The thread linked below is developing as a good way to discuss the possible causes and solutions to the LG Logo Brick for those running VC: http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-rooting-roms-hacks/63309-lg-logo-brick-hang-particularly-after-vc-update-possible-fix-es.html
