Root oh **** I killed my phone!

tonight sucked. tried using titanium backup to incorporate some of the google apps updates into system. well the phone didn't like that (or google didn't) as I kept getting some google related force closes.

Long story short, after searching the web and trying some fixes ( even doing a factory reset) with the problem continuing, I decided to copy some google apks into the system folder.

Unfortunately, instead of copying and pasting the files into the folder it seems like it OVERWROTE the whole folder with JUST the google stuff.

now im in a freaking boot loop :( and hard data reset doesn't seem to be working (I had done it from the rom before)


So well, be careful!

and hopefully someone makes some sort of progress with the volts so im not stuck with a $150 week old paper weight lo9l.
 
Sorry to hear about your phone. R.I.P. today I accidentally got rid of the stock lg keyboard that comes with this phone and I realized I have been doing so much I should really be patient and wait for a proper recovery and backup method. Hopefully you have insurance or can afford a new phone. I've bootlooped phones before so I know that feeling. Just the price we some times pay for trying something new
 
@Dizzle of you've ever downloaded any other keyboard from the play store just go to your download history and redownload it. I too was keyboardless once by accident because I didn't push the Google keyboard to the system apps properly.

Oh I have keyboards. Just accidentally removed the stock one which I didn't use anyway cause it didn't have the Swype feature. I'm using the android L keyboard and also have Swiftkey downloaded. Thanks for the heads up though. I was trying to get the g3 keyboard and ruined something.
