[Q] Need some help getting into Emergency - mode

Hello,
I just got my new Optimus 2x in.
After 2 days using it and draining a lot of battery life installing apps and getting the phone the way I liked it.
The LG apps installed on it started to annoy me bigtime.
So i did the most respectfull thing every tweaker does, i rooted the phone.
Installed the Titanium Backup software and started deleting LG apps.
The deleting part went perfect, then my screen turned black and the only thing working was the kill andriod app software on top.
So i pulled the battery and rebooted, nothing.... the phone got stuck at the LG logo.
Did a Hard reset Volume down + the power button.
It started the installation --> google login --> setting up extra account --> and then got the error about a wizard having problems.
So i guess my rom is corrupt.
Tried updating trough the LG software - emergency and got the message "not possible anymore".
Tried updating trough KDZ firmware update tool but it can not find the phone*.
*Downloaded the original firmware from a thread located here.
Does anybody know how to get in emergency mode so i can try different things.
Or maybe other options i could consider?
If not i'd might considering sending it in for warranty.
But it boots so there must be a way to get things working again.
Thx i appreciate getting all the help and ideas.

I rooted it with superoneclick.
--small update--
If i skip the setup part after my google login, i can force stop the wizard error.
But it does not go into android itself, i get the top bar but thats it.
The LG software recocgnizes my phone but says it's OK and it does not need a update.
Wait for android 2.2.3?
That might do the trick, but then i might have to wait more than 2 weeks

1.Turn the power off. If your LG Optimus 2X is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2.Hold the Home and Volume Down button
3.Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
4.Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your device
That's the only option, on this time.

Tried this.
It says S/W Upgrade
Please wait
while upgrading...
and then nothing.

Try boot your phone to android then connect it to pc and run adb shell if shell working put all apk,s from rom dump here.
You have to copy all files to /system/app.

I'll give it a try tomorrow, have to get to work in like 3 hours =)
Im done for today.

Actually, if you get the notification bar, Android is working.
Sounds like you just deleted the Launcher, did you replace it?
If not, adb install and new launcher and you'll be good to go. Although you'll want one on your system partition too!
Have a look in the "Safe to remove" apps thread.

That's it, that's the one i accidently removed.
Any idea how to put it back on the phone?
As described above your post, trough ADB shell?
Can someone post LGLauncher in this thread?

Download here LGHome

Thanks i downloaded it.
But the thing is i can't run adb it gives me the error: device not loaded.
Tried installing the google usb drivers, gives me a no can do.
Another thing i figured out is this: Installing LG PC Suite IV.
It does give me the device connected, but i can not update.
* Can sync contacts
* Can sync Favourites
* Can sync Memo's
But no update (because it's not out yet)
Isn't there a way to fool the suite there is an update but in fact it's just the old firmware and replacing it (making it a repair).

This Thread is discussing the same problem as i am, btw

Fixed!
Obtained the LGLauncher.apk and emailed it to my google account!
Got it out of the above link i posted.

as i said in the other thread you should use root explorer to copu the launcher to /system/app
if you dont it will be gone again if you ever factory reset.
And next time dont delete stuff... just freez it from titanium... Frozen apps are gone (cant be started by the system or seen in launcher) but you get them all back if you factory reset (so no risk of bricking)
OK... we dont get the few megs of free space by freezing... but that is not really an issue on this phone.

Phone wan't start.

Hi.
I rooted my LG Optimus 2X with Super on click root. It worked great after right after. I uinstalled CarHome and F-Secure, and after that my phone restared.
Now, It would not start. I only boot until the LG logo, and after that it reboot. So it go on and on and on. I can get the phone into ADB, and I'm a newbie on android, so I got no clue what to do. I aslo tried to use the recover program by LG, but I get a message that tells me that my phone does not support the update.
Is there anything that can sovle my problem or do I need to take it to the place I bought my phone?

I had the exact same problem (a hole thread in here). Your phone is bricked (as of now there's no solution as far as I know). When you rooted your phone you lost the warranty, so if unlucky you cannot return it without having to pay to get it fixed... If lucky the might just switch the phone with a new one...
I've sent mine back to the seller and hopefully I'll get a new one...

This thread could be useful for you:
http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/334664/bricked-lg-optimus-2x/

There's actually new development in the right direction. Paul from modaco (2x.modaco.com) are preparing af NVflash of the 2x, which will completely reflash the memory with the standard rom from stock meaning we should be able to fix the easily...
Should be ready on wednesday...

I've been looking into these two treads, but could not found anything that my fix the problem.
Well, I've got to go to my the seller and hopefully they will fix it fast.

Try to remove the SD card and then try to switch on once more...

I've been trying with and without SD card , Sim card, Battery many times. So I thats not the problem I think

thats why you should freeze apps instead of uninstalling them.
Did you try to hard reset the phone?
If you got an adb connection and root, try to obtain the apk's (search the forum) and push them to system/apps.
Thats all I can think of for now. I'm no expert on this

Did you make a system backup using Clockwork Recovery before you rooted? If so, boot back into recovery and restore the backup. I bricked my phone the first time I installed a different ROM but luckily I had a backup that I was able to restore and try again.

The Optimus 2X does not (yet) have Clockworkmod Recovery working. At least not in a way available to the public (MoDaCo's Paul said he would release some stuff next week)

I can't get it to hard reset. When I boot up the phone I hold in the power button and the - volum butten. Then I come to a screen with the droid, I press the home button and I get Android recovery system (3e), but I'm unable to choose anything. I only can switch between the 4 chooses, by pressing +/- volum button.
Nope, can't get it to connect to adb. Tried, but I couldn't manage it.

Well then maybe someone here can point you to actually selecting something from that list. I mean, it has to be possible to "choose" one of the 4 options but I've never owned an android until (hopefully) in 3 weeks so I can't tell you how it works exactly.
Edit: Just checked the manual again, did you make sure you pressed home and vol- for 10 seconds ?

Well, yes. I pressed home and - volum until I got a recover mode or something.
But as I know theres know way to fix this problem atm. I'll have to send it back to my reseller or wait for Paul to release the fix.

Stuck on LG screen!

Hi guys,
Im new here and I wanted to post this in the FEAR developement thread, but for some reason I cant, anyway
Im on FEAR 8.0 and it has been running smothly. Today somehow my whatsapp, facebook etc always was forced to shut down when I tried to open it. So I rebooted an now Im stuck on the LG screen. Sometimes it freezes there, sometimes it reboots to the LG screen again!
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Well, seems that the system (Android) has crashed on your phone due to some unknown reason.
The only thing you can do is to do a factory reset (from ClockwordMod Recovery which I assume you have installed).

Yes I think I have it installed, but how does that help me if I cant access the phone anymore? Is there a manual for the reset process?
Is there no way to get the data off the phone, because that would suck big time

Go back to stock rom, search my thread to see how!

At the moment the ROM is not really my concern!
The only concern is my data!
I need a way to get it

Update:
Installed FEAR 10 without full wipe and everything is still there and running

Upgraded to v10e, lost root, please help getting it back

Hi all,
I'm pretty much a noob here, though I'm trying to read and figure out what I've done wrong.
I was on v10c and had rooted my O2x using superoneclick, easy-peasy. Had SU going, and TiBackup. Backed up my files to Dropbox, decided to go ahead with the LG update, not realizing it would remove my root.
I had frozen a bunch of apps with TiBackup, and those seem to still be frozen, so that's all good. Everything is mostly working well, except I can only move some apps to SD, some just say it's full, even though there's 3gb free. Oh well, it seems to fix it if I un/reinstall, but I'm not so short of space that it's a big deal.
The annoying thing is that SU keeps popping up saying I'm out of date and of course I can't update it without root and I can no longer use TiBackup. I've tried using Superoneclick again but it thinks I'm still rooted. So I tried un-rooting it, but that didn't do anything as when I rebooted and went back in, Superoneclick still thinks I'm rooted.
Any ideas? Also, please explain it as though I'm dumb, cause for these purposes, I kinda am.
TIA
Oliver
btw, at the mo, I have no interest in custom ROMs or whatnot, just want to be able to backup & restore stuff.

I rebooted my computer, rebooted the phone, plugged it in and tried to un-root it again. This didn't get any popups, though I did get a 'FAILED' message at the bottom of the superoneclick message window, can't remember which operation. Nonetheless, I took it as a positive. Rebooted the phone again.
Now it's stuck in a reboot loop! Ffuuuuu.....!!!!
The battery is low, so I'm going to put it on the charger for a while and see if it decides it wants to boot later.
So for THIS problem, I've read that you should take out the sim and battery for a while and try booting it later, correct? If no go, then do a factory reset?
So if I DO a factory reset, what are the correct steps to root the device afterwards? I assume a factory reset just puts Android v2.2.2 back on but doesn't touch the firmware, so it'll stay at v10e, correct? I figure I'll just have to run Superoneclick once and then I should be good to go, right?
Thanks again,
Oliver
This mucking with my phone scares the bejeebus outta me - I always figure I'm gonna brick it. But it's worth it if I can disable the awful Car Home, F-Secure and the horrible FB/TWitter/Myspace crap that LG cripples the phone with.

Just factory reset phone and then root using superoneclick...if that doesnt work, load custom rom, topogigi would be nearest to stock

Okay, I tried to reset it by holding VOL- and then turning the phone on. It says 'S/W UPGRADE Please wait while upgrading' but it appears to be frozen there as it's been sitting on that screen (while plugged in to power) for about 20 minutes.
Any suggestions? Is it safe to pull the battery and try again? Should I have done VOL+ and HOME and then powered it on?
I'm starting to worry here.

I think our phone is unbrickable. I have even tryed to repartition it (failed) and I still managed to fix it. You can follow this guide for going back to stock and then you can upgrade to 10E with lg tool and then do the root. the guide is in greek and i translated it with google translate. Original page here http://www.myphone.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=300529
How to return to the Stock Rom LG 2X
Caution: The perierchomena of internal sd will be erased.
Go here and download the Greece / Italy Firmware.
Download drivers and smartflash here.
Run the SmartFlashTool_P990.exe from PC
Close the phone, remove battery, connect the phone and hold down the Volume down (Here we should see a message "software update" and "COM port" in smartflash will be filled automatically after install the drivers if needed)
Select the "ROM Copy D / L"
Check that the "Normal Mode" is selected
Check that the "Erase CAL" is NOT selected
Press the button "browse" next to "AP Bin:" and choose the (BIN) file
Press the button "browse" next to "CP Bin:" and choose the (FLS) file
Press "Start" and wait to complete the flasharisma
Thanks to Jastonas
These I have tried without any problems, but I have to say:
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE Pathe ...

Thanks very much for that, orlox.
I did end up getting it working. I don't know what S/W upgrade was all about, but I decided to pull the battery and try a reset again. This time it worked, in no time flat.
Here's the weird thing.
I set it all up from scratch, and when I plugged it in to root it again, Superoneclick said it was already rooted, did I want to go ahead anyway. I said no, then downloaded Superuser - sure enough, rooted. WTF?
Weird, but I'm not going to argue. Everything's working and it's working well. I don't know what app it is, but the more I install, the slower it gets. Not awful slow, but noticeable. A "fresh" phone always feels so snappy. I don't do all that much, but I put on GO launcher, a bunch of apps. I only use 3 home screens. I have the GO FBwidget, APW Calendar, Typoclock and Fancy widget forecast (4x1). Then I've just got some app shortcuts and that's it. It's not laggy. Just..... not quite as snappy as it was before I installed everything. Perhaps I should just can all the widgets? But then wouldn't I just have an iphone?
Anyway, thanks to those who responded.
For those interested, it is still on v2.2.2 and v10e.

if you dont use a2dp bluetooth and fm radio go for cyanogenmod. Youll see a HUGE speed improvment

just go for v20e if in case its still slow, or even Cyanogen. As for me, same thing and same scenario happened, did a factory reset and that's it, its fixed. As for slow performance in v10e, removed most LG apps except SNS and App Adviser and its all good even on the stock LG Launcher

Problem! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly

I already read some other threads with the same name but nothing really like my problem.
I inserted another person's sim card and after i turned on the phone it started giving me "Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly... Force Close. "
But its showing up all the time, one after another. I press Force Close and then another pops up. I can';t even navigate in my phone, i can't do anything but turn it off.
Basiclly i am stuck with 400 euro, phone that just gives errors and is totally unusable.
My phone has stock software, not rooted.
When I got the phone I was so happy...and soon the bsod problems started and I was forced to buy a new one (I see what you did there LG) - but i chose Sony Ericsson this time.

Try to root your phone and install a Clockwork Recovery. Then from the Advanced menu in the recovery choose Fix permissions. Restart the phone and see if it is fixed. If it isn't just flash a custom ROM. This will probably do the job.

This might be a hardware problem or a software problem. Since you didn't root the device you can just go back to the store and ask them to repair it or send it to LG or whatever they can do (because you still have your warranty... right?). Why didn't you go back to the store in the first place?

The problem is after i click on Force Close, it gives me another error too fast and i can't click on anything(I can't really install or use any app). Its like windows errors when you get one error like thousand times and you keep on clicking and clicking and there's no end.
Restarting the phone does nothing.
And yes I already talked with support and Im going to give it back for repair. I don't think its a hardware problem, its the crappy software LG made. I didn't send it back because I could live with 3-4 bsod per week, but now that... Plus im from Bulgaria and the user above knows how long it takes to get your phone back

Okay. Then, try these steps. You don't need to install anything on your phone. You will install a new stock firmware using smartflash. I think this is the only way to fix your phone in a situation like this. Follow the steps:
1. Download Smartflash and its drivers from here and after that install the drivers.
2. Now choose a firmware from here and download it.
3. Run the SmartFlashTool_P990.exe executable.
4. Turn off the phone, remove battery, plug USB in and hold the Power + Volume down keys until you see the software update message - the COM ports field in the SmartFlash program will be filled in automatically
5. Now follow this image:
There is a video lesson too.

Всичко това се надявам да оправи проблема ти. След като инсталираш стоковия ROM и всичко е успешно, ако ти се занимава си сложи някой от последните GR Leak Custom-и. Успех

Same Problem
Hi, I have the same problem on my Samsung SGT5830(Galaxy ACE), but it pups up ones or twice, and stop puping up... My phone after that, working whitout problems... I can receive calls, sms, mms. Also I can call, send sms, mms... I can connect on WiFi, GPS is working too... What is a problem? What can I do? How to do it?

Yes do what gkostadinov said and that will fix your phone back to stock, then root and flash clockworkmod recovery you can use the clockworkmod app from android market to do this once you have rooted.
The pick a nice fast custom rom and profit.

Id suggest using the samsung pc studio(I dont know if it does but there should be some support on updating the phone software) to flash stock rom. Or flash a custom rom if you prefer. If you are able to use the phone and click on the screen then its not a problem to do so.
This is your forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1167
I think you will find all the information on rooting, flashing and so on.
My problem was different as my phone was basically unable to do anything.
I had it returned to service as I didnt saw gkostadinov reply on time.

Same happened for me some time back. It was caused by google+. try uninstalling and re-installing the google+ app from the market.

I once used hp kernel rc11 and got the same issues. I just reflashed it with the stable version (sr2). Problem solved.

I get this issue when ever I try to toggle between 2G/3g OR toggle data. I am on the latest Cm7 nightly and recently flashed vadonka's 32M_S kernel . This problem occurred some times randomly while on the Cm7 kernel but now it happens almost all the time when I toggle 2G/3G . @vadonka: I can help you with the logs if you wish to look into this

same prroblem in lg optimus l3 e400
i rooted my phone and installed annobox11 then it was working very good from 3-4months from yesterday my battey got low and turned off when i tuurned itt on after charging it is continuesly saying ''unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped'' pls help me i again reinstalled rom but now also same problem
