but now i dont have nova or cwm recovery ;/

try hard reset (search for it )

Download LGMobile Update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771 in this Update Kit. Then turn of phone, pull of battery and press and hold Vol+ button and plug in USB and then in LGMobile Update click on "Custommer Support" and Recovery Phone. Write your IMEI and click check. It can take a lot of time because it will download a new firmware.

nah, keep on holding that volume up then plug in the USB. have you installed the USB drivers?

Turn your phone off. Use eRecovery! Turn phone on then repeatedly hit Vol Down key then do factory reset. If no luck use KDZ updater.

yes, i plug usb cable to device with holding vol+ and 'sw upgrade, please wait...' screen appear. I tried again few minutes ago with kdz updater and via lg mobile update phone recovery and no luck. Phone is rebooting (black screen with blinking touch keys) when installing software on 90% ;/ of course installing software goes to 100% and says its completed and ok, but phone reboots on 90% ;/. I have installed all drivers, i tried on my laptop (win7) and my dad (win xp).

so maybe its normal, but really...i've tried a couple of times with kdz and phone recovery by lg mobile and still the same, black screen, blinking touch keys. And i dont have eRecovery any more beacause i flashed stock s/w but it dont work ;/

that's a big hello of a problem.... I jonno what else u can do... if I were u then I would flash it again and again... then maybe for the customer care center... although I think ur warranty is being voided so u will not be able to repair it for free... let's hope for the best and let us know what happens next... best of luck...

Przykro ki kolego, nie naprawisz tego sam. Musisz odeslac telefon do serwisu LG w Mławie...
Sorry pal, you can't fix it yourself. You must send it to LG service centre in Mława (Poland)...

+1 for this. Flash and flash. Try upgrading to V10E via KDZ. Me thinks it's a bootloader problem. Does LG SECURITY TEAM appears or not?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

yeah..i flashed this several times...with kdz updater and by lg mobile update->phone recovery. I flashed 10A and 10E...results the same. I dont know how LG SECURITY TEAM looks like but i didnt see anything else besides LG LOGO--> Black screen with blinking touch keys and just Black screen with blinking keys (even without lg logo). I give up with this, there is no hope for this phone i think, today im sending this to the service. Thanks for helping me i will certainly write here what happend if i get phone back

I also stuck on the same thing
Really for that reason i hate LG Black

SOLVED: hanging in S/W update mode

Dear all,
Last night I tried updating to V20N (Dutch) using the standard LG Mobile update tool, so via USB. After the downloading step, the update tool proceeded to install until 15% has reached. The tool says "communication error between PC and phone" or something like that. It tells to disconnect USB and remove battery and try again. I did this 4 times, but the phone itself stays in "S/W update" mode.
Before perfoming a hard reset (and losing all of my data) using one the unbrick tools, I solved this by using the option "recovery and emergency" in the options tab of the LG update tool. After 20 min recovery my phone was back and guess what? It had been updated to V20N 2.3.4
Now it feels more snappy, no more lag while sliding the screens. Apps running smooth. No idea about the battery life.

Same issue here can u please explain it further or a step by step guide.

In the menu of LGMobile Support Tool choose "Customer Support"
then click on "Recovery Phone"
in the pop-up window enter either IMEI/ESN/MEID or Model+S/N and click "Check"
Then the Mobile Update Tool should pop-up and start downloading+updating
Lots of succes!

Had the same issue a while back, even the emergency/recovery flash from LG tool did not work. Eventually the smartflash method worked for me, going back to v10a and the offical update with official LG tool to v20n worked after that...very strange...

Exactly the same thing happened to me just last night. I was prompted for a V20E (PHL) update. After download and install my phone got disconnected and was stuck on the S/W update screen even after I removed the battery several times.
I found a recovery step by step here and gave it a try. I unplugged the USB, removed the battery, reconnected the USB, pressed vol(-) (not sure about this it was already midnite and I was desperate) and pressed the power button. LG app connected and I chose recover. Entered IMEI and it started downloading again. I tried to get some sleep and a few minutes later I heard the phone startup sound. Hooray! Initially I thought I was back to V10D but the version confirmed I was now on V20E. Double hooray! Still a fail for LG though. Will the same adventure happen when ICS comes out (in two years or so)?

The problem is, that you probably had a cust ROM with ext4 support and that doeant work with stock ROMs, --> bootloop

No custom or root. I was running a plain-Jane V10D before the upgrade.

You should report this bug to LG.

I emailed customer service. They apologized and asked me to bring it to the nearest service center

same thing happened to me.. but what i did was i went to LG mobile in MOA and let them restored my phone but mine is V20b.. is V20e a newer version?

V20B was announced last month. I tried upgrading to that but it went into the phone disconnected error so I decided to wait until I can visit the LG kiosk.
Then V20E came out so I thought let's give it a try hence my adventure. V20E is still 2.3.4 though.
I can't post links yet so try to search for the firmware list. It basically says V10A >> V10D >> V20B >> V20E.

ah i see... thanks man.. i'm still new to these stuff i need to read the threads here to learn how to flash and maybe try V20e

[Q] Semi-bricked / Smartflash tool not working

Hi
I'm helping out a friend, which O2X I have rooted and flashed WIUI on to (I previously owned one myself too)
For some reason the phone started to get hot after a while and used up the battery fast, until one day where he couldn't even turn it on again.
Now, he has been trying to fix it himself with NVflash, but no luck, so now its up to me and you guys.
I have used the smartflash tool and flashed the EURO OPEN stock ROM and everything went succesfull, but when the phone reboots, the LG logo appears, and it bootloops.
I tried both with battery and no battery in, but still no cigar.
Any suggestions what I should try next?
PS: If I try to turn on the phone normally, nothing happens. not even a blink from the screen, but I can get into S/W mode and APX

Try lg update tool, choose recover as option, then choose imei as entrance

EDIT: The software says the update is not compatible (dunno if translation is correct, but you get the point)
Update is aborted :/

No more suggestions on what to do?
Tried:
NVflash
Smartflash (Flashed EURO OPEN rom)
LG Update tool (recover function)
The phone still won't boot.

Smartflash is the only solution like you said that the phone can boot in s/w mode try to dig some answer in smartflash thread or search in google i know you can find some answer there

Assuming you have carried out the procedures correctly, looks like this device is actually defective. Probably not what you want to hear, I know, but...
Before giving up completely, you can NVFlash it again (using the original 10C NVFlash from Modaco) and post the log here. Wouldn't get my hopes up though.

Try to reflash it with Smartflashtool. Take a v20 bin and fls. Look into my noob how to, if you need them.

thank you it works

My phone won't turn on, please help!

Hi everyone
I've LG Optimus 2x and this morning I wanted to install stock rom again on my phone because I had CM. I used smart flash tool (I used it before so I know how to work with him) and everything was OK untill some error poped out. After that I couldn't start my phone, even can't charge it. Screen is black and nothing happens with it. I tried other battery but, same thing. I know that my phone is somehow OK because i can turn it only with flashtool ''progmaq''. I open flash.bat file and that program turns my phone on to S/W upgrade mode but my computer still it does not recognize.
What can I do to start my phone again? I can't use smartflash tool or LG update tool because my computer doesn't recognize my phone. Please help!!!

Same problem as here on this video. I tried to hard reset, can't do it.

Problem solved. I used all in one tool kit and in main menu pressed button 4, followed instruction and I could again access recovery mode, so I installed again rom and now it works.
