Bricked my lg optimus 2x - LG Optimus 2x

Hello, i bricked my lg optimus 2x by somehow, and i've read some on the forums and it keeps popping up that NVflash is the way to go. But the problem is nothing happens when i do it No reboot etc... It do react and say: S/W upgrade...
Also when i try to boot phone nothing happens, it is all black and no reponse... So what should i do ? I got no NAndroid backup etc

I haven't tried nvFlash, but Smartflash sure worked for me. (Verified it 10 hours ago as I just soft-bricked my O2X as well. )
You may follow instructions here.

can't find COM-port

So the problem is when i try to do that it doesn't find any COM-port :/

Try to install the LG drivers again and hopefully that helps finding COM-port

All of u is wrong. You have to use the method when you're holding vol up and vol down together. If u wait 'til I come home I can give you a link how its done.

The vol up + down method is used for NVflashing.
I used Smartflash so I didn't need to do that.
@random: Aside for checking for LG USB drivers, make sure that you have the battery pulled out, and you are plugging the phone to the PC with the volume down pressed.

smartflash
but it doesnt react to the volume down : P since what i've understand is that it should pop up a the LG bootup thingy
And it doesnt.... The only thing the phone reacts to is when i try to NVflash... but the nvflash seems to fail all the time by some reason :S in the middle of everything

take out your battery, plugin usb + hold volume down.
then smartflash all the way !

Wonder
i wonder how i smartflash then....
/watch?v=uCHRwKGTZTk] i followed that one, but he's phone react with a LG logo when he puts cable in and press vol down... Mine doesn't : (

Try using the USB ports at the back of your CPU (those that are from the MoBo itself). Are you using WinXP by the way?

Tried...
Yes, i have tried the other usb ports at the back and no im not on xp... Im on Vista
64bit.... It feels like i've tried everything that is possible.... So i wonder if there is any hope at all... Or could i turn it back and hopefully get it fixed ? Or will they be able to see what happend etc...

Thing is, if you have tried everything on your end, I guess there's no other thing to do but return it to the shop. I hope you have warranty.

Since you got to the S/W upgrade screen on NVflash, your phone can't be totally dead. Try another PC or redownload the flash file, it could be corrupted.

Dont worry, you probably DIDNT brick it
Search for smartflash and NVflash, smartflash should probably do the trick in this case, but in a few cases u need to use NVflash.
But try smartflash first.

if you think ur battery is charged enough...first try to enter into CWM(if your phone is already rooted)by pressing power+volume down buttons and you can restore if you have a backup.if not, flash a custom ROM or try an upgrade with LG tool one more time
incase nothing is working...try this...it is for devices which are bricked....

[Q] bricked p990 lg optimus 2x

Right guys, i know youve read this alot. and i know your thinking i should have searched the threads for a sulotion, but belive me i have, for days.
heres my problem, i was flasing the leaked ics onto my p990. whilst flashing, my laptop ran out of battery and didnt give me any warning atall. and as a result of that, i now have i belive a bricked p990. this is the rom i was flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926700
right now i know i should be able to recover my phone as i can connect my phone and it recognises it as apx driver, but the trouble is i can put in updating mode. ( vol down and then inserting usb) i plug in the usb without the battery inserted and without pushing any buttons and it still recognises it as an apx device, knowing this, ive tried nvflash and smart flash but both have no effect and dont recognise my phone. i will add that the version of ics that is currently out leaked. is very smooth, unfortunately bluetooth pairing doesnt work properly and wifi is a bit weak, but theres a fix for that.
i have tried flashing a cwm but to no succes. i do know some things in android flashing and repairs, but admittidly not everything so im not a complete noob.
id very much apreciate it if anyone could help me.
youll have to excuse any typing mistakes. the resolution on the tv isnt that great from a laptop hdmi out. sorry guys.
but yes any help is much appreciated.
thanks in advance guys
ricky
well, windows MUST recognize the o2x as an apx device since you would use the tegra apx applications processors...
you are saying that windows sees your o2x as an apx device but nv/smart-flash don't?

Those colour changes tell me that you're without battery...
Take out the battery, press "Vol-" and connect to PC, It won't work, almost sure of that... after, disconnect from PC.
put back the battery on the phone, press "Vol-" and connect to PC. It should work now.

I had this problem like 5 months ago
OK read this and follow the exact guide im doing it personally so that you dont have to search! kk
(for getting your phone working)
1.install the phone drivers from the website ( it might show on the com port thingy then )
2. flash only a gingerbread rom or froyo rom because the ICS rom is locked with a bootloader and will cause the lg logo thing all over again if you flash
3.From this link download the gingerbread rom( download the V20A from venezuela )( http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1 )then use the rom convertor ( go to this link for the guide on how to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144577 )
4. if it works, all you have to do is put a rom on your sd and go on with your life
( PS I suggest you try HUEXXX's IZS ROM or Marvel V9 as they both are really stable and works really well)
as for other roms
Dont forget to click the thank button on the corner of this post

your not detecting problems could be anything!
try reinstalling the drivers all over again
or try another computer!
and also the USB CABLE you are using should be lg ones
and if any lg ones dont work use your OB CABLE!!

Tried reinstalling drivers about 20 times;
Tried on another computer still the same;
Tried other (not LG) cable still the same
Today I was at local service center, they said that they cant fix it, so they sent my phone to a better service and they have some kind of box mobile phone fixing tool. Looking forward, that costs 10 to 15 euros. hopefully they fix it.

He means the search on this site.
For starters here are the latest drivers I found that are not included in another program:
p880 drivers 3.8.1
Please download and install them with your device not being connected to your pc.
When installation is done, connect your device and wait until it is identified by the new drivers.
So far so good? Please report if that worked.

adb fastboot drivers for windows
p880 usb drivers and lg bridge
lg flash tool if lg bridge fails
choose the right firmware and download it. only you know that.
kdz files
Good luck.
Search box is a box where we type to find something and its located in the upper right corner of the xda site.
---------- Post added at 22:08 ---------- Previous post was at 22:02 ----------
one question. if you know how to answer that , you fix it in 5 minutes.
can you boot into bootloader mode or not ?
if you find how and try it and if you get in bootloader mode,
at my next post i'll have your phone fixed.
if not, find a guide to flash kdz if lg bridge don't fix it for you.
~EDIT:
and hit thanks button. it's the least you can do to say thank you !
its the way xda works lol
4xhd totally blocked out
thanks guys for help so far, i havent tried most of the things yet, as i havent done it before, am still having trouble getting the phone to connect to pc in s/w upgrade mode, the pc and lg software wont find phone, one thing on the screen of phone at the top is a symbol, i think its the android beam symbol, its like a book with 2 arrows, is that a problem or is it normal, thanks
