did you install Google play?
is it connected to wifi?
if so could try installing a different launcher from a browser, if device shows up in available devices.
did you enable usb debugging?
if so you could try installing a different launcher with adb
could try factory reset in recovery
could re flash firmware with adb sideload in recovery options
just be careful that you use correct firmware

I didn't make sure that the Google Now was running , my fault. I had to boot to recovery and side load the firmware and reroot the entire process. Finally this was the process that worked for me

[Q] Kindle Stuck at CM7 Logo, won't boot. Help!

After transferring some music files from my sd card to my computer, I "safely ejected" the Kindle Fire and when I rebooted normally (it will go to recovery if I want it to) it gets stuck at the CM7 Logo (Andy just chills there forever on his board...).
As far as I know it's responding to most ADB commands. I have to use ADB to reboot after it gets stuck, but I'm not very fimilar with ADB commands yet. All I know how to do is remount it and reboot it. I didn't make a backup before this happened (doy!) so I don't have a previous state to restore to. I went a head and just made a backup while I was in recovery after it got stuck, and restored to that just to see if it would do anything. Of course, that didn't work. I'm still stuck at the cm7 logo.
I didn't mess with any system files or anything except normal sd card clean up, so I'm not sure why it's getting stuck at Andy. I've read up on boot loops and common ways to fix them but nothing seems to work for me. And it's not exactly stuck in a recovery loop or boot loop anyway, it just plain won't boot. Any ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Do you have any dual boot app installed? As far as I know, you might have deleted some information needed for the app to boot to a different profile.

I'm not sure what that is so I'm thinking no.What is an example of a dual boot app? I'm just hanging out in recovery until I figure out what to do.
I would reccommend redownloading Cyanogenmod 7 and reinstalling...
Flash the same cm7 ROM you had without erasing data,

I have mounted the sdcard again but I can't imagine anything that I removed from the sd card is making it boot stuck. Any other ideas? I guess I could always reinstall cm7. but I don't want to do that if I don't have to.

Sorry I didn't see your messages before I posted my last one. I'm using the "update-cm7.zip". Is that what you mean by not erasing data?

Thanks! That fixed it. Do you know what I did to cause that? Or is that just something that happens?
I think that some file either deleted or corrupted.
When you flash, you have the option to maintain your data. Since you are flashing the same ROM, there is no need to erase the data to avoid installation of your apps.

nexus 7 troubles... no Google play (plus more)

So I have a problem that I will try explain as best as possible. I have a first gen nexus 7 that I successfully rooted a while back. I decided that I didnt want it rooted and tried to unroot it. Now when I turn the device on, the Cyanogenmod loop still comes up and when it gets to android, the play icon is gone,a nd I have no way to install apps. I downloaded the nexus 7 toolkit to try completely unroot it, but the app doesnt seem to see my device. I booted into recovery mode, but still isnt recognized. No matter what I choose, whether it be Start, restart bootloader, or recovery mode, the device will just restart and hang on the Google logo.
Any help is appreciated

So it will boot into cm but no plays tore? Flash the right gaps and then you should be fine. As for the other issue you need someone with more wisdom than me.
it boots into CM and the tablet works (mostly) fine... wifi works, all the buttons work, etc.... but the one main thing ive noticed is that play is gone and I have no way to install apps. And as i stated originally when I try to flash it back to stock, the windows app I use says the device isnt in the right mode....

You did flag a custom Android OS, aka Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod doesn't contain Google Applications -> you need to flash Google Applications separately if you want to use them ...

Download gapps for the version of cyanogenmod you have: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Then flash it in recovery after you have flashed cyanogenmod.

LG smartcover has stopped

Hello,
So, my vs98039a is having a pop up saying "Unfortunately, LG smartcover has stopped". When i close it, it automatically keeps popping up, over and over and over. I am rooted with stock rom. I have twrp recovery.
I tried to install xposed through twrp. That is when it started with the pop ups. I read that xposed is making the pop ups happen.
I tried to do a recovery, but the recovery wasnt found on memory stick via usb.
So, i was able to do a factory reset, but still have these stupif pop ups. The factory reset took it back to 5.0.2.
I really need some help bad. How do I get rid of these pop ups??? I am sick over this.
Thank you very much

Hopefully this will teach you to read before messing around. In the Q&A, there's a link how to get it working thru adb. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58829021
If you can't get it working that way then you'll need to return to stock. (post# 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51318377
It's been a known issue since Xposed in alpha (not for everyone) has been out.

Thanks for your help, nothing is working. I cant seem to get the sdk tools to work so that I can open adb cmd. I downloaded the sdk suite and manager. I'm afraid its a lost cause . I try to go back to stock, and the phone will not stay connected when flashing vs98039a firmware. I even went to Lg site and downloaded the newest driver. It works, phone tries to reboot and shuts off and flashtool says there was error when it tries to install firmware. I try to get phone in dowload mode, and it says download mode but there is an error message top left. Then it shut off completely.
How the heck can I get adb to open up so I can enter commands to stop smartcover, weather,and weather platform??? I have done all of this on my razr m without a hitch. Im not a noob. I do not understand this G2!!!

You need to remove these 3 apps for xposed to work:
LGCover, LGWeather, LGWeatherService
Just flash the attached file through recovery and xposed will work.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app
I was wondering how that is even possible since I did a factory reset, the popups will not let me past them, and I have no recovery as far as I know.? The usb debugging is on, and the phone shows it is connected, but pc does not see it. Unknown sources is enabled as well.
I can't flash anything from pc using the lg flash tool. It gets to 50 percent and says device isn't connected. Can't even try the freedom tool anymore if it went connect. I have the latest usb driver.
I don't evenknow if I have root anymore. Popups won't let me do anything.
So anyway, I ended up just wiping everything thru the twrp recovery and took the firmware zip I downloaded (vs98039a) and installed it. Everything is back to normal with fresh stock rom. I think I will just be happy with that, until xposed has a clean apk. Thank you for your help

Exactly, that´s the problem.
If you can´t solve it with that, flash new rom, and do that before install xposed again,

bootloops and random foreclosures

Please read prior to posting have you tried this.....
Back story
At this time i had had to pull an old logic board out of the box n hook it up to a screen n battery. the phone was bought off ebay about 2 years ago and it didnt act right so i just pulled the board and put in the one of my broken screen. now that this is the only phone i have i need to get it working. At that time I remember it wasnt unlockable so I didnt look into to fixing it. every thing was foreclosing , (android.process.acore, calendar dialer gapps settings system ui)
Now
I flashed via rsd up to 4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF, after reboot same issue everything was foreclosing. plowing through the OK's I got it rooted and BL unlocked. after which I powered down verified unlock via fastboot/ boot logo. FDR wipe cache> upon start up "android.process.acore stopped working" then the cycle of everything foreclosing. plowing through the okeys I got to the start up homescreen radom apps foreclose then it soft reboots ( no boot logo just anamation)> andriod is upgrading ( number of apps is however many foreclosed) it continues with the soft reboots and android is rebooting cycle for about an hour. util I get to a point where it boots per say but every app in the drawer says "app not installed" so at this point I prepare my files and tools
Files and tools
RSDLite_6.1.6 From and old HD
VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml from an old HD
thinking these are corrupt I re download them
VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF
RSDLite_6.1.6
HouseOfMoto-4.3
I flash Via house of moto same result
I flash Via house of moto different ports/ cords / delete | re download files
I download and flash 4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF via RSD > same result
I flash 4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF via House of moto > same result
I push TWRP - 2.8.2.0 on 4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF flash CM 12.1 and Gapps after reboot it sits at boot animation for about 45 min or so I reboot to twrp FDR wipe still sits at boot animation.
restore backup> plow throw the foreclosures and setup screen get to the home screen and manage to get to call out and get calls/ texts for varying times. seems to be when ever something trys to access google services. the phone goes the soft reboot cycle
sometimes when I restore this back up I can get it working for a few hours some times i have to restore and restore again....
So at this point one main question how can I tell which I should be using 15.1_CFC_1FF.xml, 15.1_1FF.xmlm, 15.1_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml
Update...
I downgraded down to 9.8.1Q-94-1_CFC a little better in terms of I can make calls/texts for about an hour or two, google apps uninstall them mainly play store and google play services when google play services uninstalls itself its done and will not function again till house of moto flash or if I pushed twrp for that test a restore.
with the JBBL I was able to get pacman (with gapps-kk-20140105-signed) latest nightly to boot, I was able to open the play store and install TiB, after which play store uninstalled itself>auto soft reboot> play store was back... I am able to install the main apps I use however none will connect to the internet 4g/wifi I think onces the apps (I believe) attempt to reach out or hear back then foreclose, Chrome, baked in browser and firefox none will all access to the URL bar prior to foreclose.
ATM I have downloaded xt907-9.8.1Q-94-1-radio and am about to flash the radio in hopes it works... although I do not feel it will
@ATTACK , @sd_shadow if you may know of something I can try in-sight would be well appreaciated
I thank you kindly for your time
Flashed the radio no better, a little worse in terms of getting signal, Attached is a logcat of what happens...
Start log>home>app drawer> MY.com game>ok on forecloser>open chrome>Ok on foreclosure >reload button in chrome>Screen shot>ok on foreclosure>home>logcat>stop
attached is 1 log 2 SS of chrome error 3 sys info
I Am desperately seeking assistance.. Thank you kindly for your time

thank you for your help.... I am leaning toward Hardware issue at this time.... there is no way that (no over estimating) after about 50 flashes and 8-9 roms all have the same issues more or less... if this was a PC id say AV, Firewall, virus, malware or faulty drive
I am not familiar with how to read logcats, but browsing through it I see " 817 835 W BroadcastQueue: Permission Denial" pop up a lot as well as an issue with google play services. I have no Idea what it all means If I cant get it fixed I may just buy one with a broken screen off ebay if I can round up an extra 15-30$
Does any one know or can assist as to why apps, system apps are not "sticking" ?

If you can go on recovery mode, then ADB sideload FireOS firmware will not touch the user area. All user apps and data will remain after ADB sideload of FireOS firmware.
