LG optimus exceed 2 problem

[jmcinvale]

I have an LG Optimus Exceed 2 that up until a day ago worked fine.

I rebooted it and all heck let loose.

Booted fine, but WI-FI sits there trying to turn on and when I try to turn bluetooth on it tries, but never succeeds.

Also I had to reinstall a few apps and sometimes when accessing some settings the phone reboots, but gets stuck at the red verizon screen.

yesterday I rebooted to the menu and cleared cache then rebooted to safe mode and it did that ok.

At some point phone rebooted and all was well. I then rebooted this afternoon and have the same symptoms only none of my apps are affected.

Any idea what the problem is?

Also is it possible to flash a factory ROM without loosing any of my text messages and if not is there a way to export them?

EDIT:

Found out it doesn't get stuck at the red verizon screen. It continues on with the boot.

Have you already tried a factory reset? My understanding of LG phones is that the user doesn't have access to the standard Android Recovery Menu, and therefore can't wipe the system cache partition.

I didn't factory reset. Was waiting for my text messages to back up before I did.

Phone seems to be working ok for now.

Will know if it is still fixed when I have to reboot it.

Are there any apps that with root can check the system files and verify that they are ok?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that.

Is it possible to get the kitkat 4.4.2 apk and install it without loosing anything like how a normal phone upgrade goes?

No, flashing a new ROM always wipes the phone. It's not like installing an app.

The phone finally quit completely so I just swapped in the motherboard from the phone I got almost a year ago for the screen.
