Nope, no need to go back to stock, just boot into S/W update and go.

Hi All,
I'm in trouble with my P990.
i was using offical cm10 nightlies for a while and i updated new official cm10 nightlies. After update phone opened and 5 minutes later screen frozen. i removed battery and put it again. But phone not opened again.
I tried NVFlash but NVflash stuck on "waiting for bootloader to initialize" message.
How can i handle this situation.?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Maybe try to flash any rom with SmartFlash
1.Take out battery
2.replace battery
3.hold Vol- (volume down button) AND power button together until you see the recovery menu. then scroll to Cm updater file and reflash -or- clockwork mod file and flash from backup.
No way!!
When i tried Smartflash pc not found com ports. so i cant flash with this way.
also i tried (JAZZMAN's advice) power and vol- to enter CWM menu but i cant see any thing. (my phone not open)

How phone must show bootloader or you have installed already CWM it must boot into CWM, if it doesn't show your phone to the service .

Hi,
I did this too, I had to do it file by file. So first flash the fls (CP baseband file). After that the phone will turn off. Start it in update mode and then install the AP (rom) file. It worked for me. I used smartflash.
I don't know why, but the phone turned off after CP flash and it didn't start again, which lead to timeout error.

You can find the way in Optimus 2x Android Development and topic: [NEW ICS LEAK NOV 12] [ONLINE-TOOL] P990-Leaker: Realtime P990 ICS ROM finder

I dont think you can just downgrade with smartflash tools. V30 has a locked ICS bootloader if im correct and apparently my O2X bootlooped when i did that. Now i stuck and even NVFLASH fails
i downgraded my v28g to v20s with smartflash
Thats the answer....
Use Nvflash i downgraded many times from v28a,g,v30a down to v20 or cyanogen mod Its the savest way.
Im form germany... only found the german forum but the zips of nvflash work very well use it:

I think it might be time for me to throw away my P990 because im not sure if the VOL UP button actually works or is it the PC problem.

Anyway although I doubt smartflash could work for my case, I decided to give it try and flash V20B rom (starhub) via the .fls and .bin files method. It gave me an error when it was about to partition the "7 partitions". So i exited and unplug my phone as the SW upgrade screen on my phone turned to a blank screen. I wanted to try again and plug back holding the VOL DOWN button to enter SW mode. I heard the Windows sound notification (when a device is plugged or unplugged) as i do so but the screen was still blank. So i checked the device manager screen and saw that i entered the NVFLASH recovery mode.
Im confused as to how it would work now but anyway i was grateful to your post and that made me give smartflash a try still. :laugh::good:
the easiest way in your situation is using this [TOOL] Full Brick Repair (Clean & Easy)
It's nvflashable and already includes a CM10 nightly. Boot it up and upgrade CM10 with the built in upgrader. That's what I did yesterday. Then boot into recovery and flash gapps.

Guys,
I'm relatively new to flashing recovery and ROMs..
So, sorry if this is a noob question..
I really need urgent help!
I am on V20a (ESA-XXX) and have successfully rooted my phone.
I tried installing CWM using this method..

After i restarted my phone, it got stuck at boot!!
Its gives the following error and turns of in 5 seconds..
[LG-Security] Error: Boot Image Signature!
The phone doesn't start and does not go into recovery either..
The phone is not even recognised by my PC.. keeps restarting (to error screen) if i connect to pc..

SOLUTION:
Reflash .kdz via Software Upgrade Mode (hold Power button and Volume - )
Dude, reflashing your phone should work. As long as SW mode is still accessible, your phone isn't dead yet. Follow the instructions on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35971349 Be freaking sure all necessary drivers are properly installed.
Or you can put your phone in recovery mode (power + vol +) and reinstall the stock rom using recovery LG tools providing your Internet connection is fast and stable

hey dude, i have flashed 7 times exactly since this morning only. and i have gotten that error 3 times of those 7. so it should not be a problem
Thanks!
After a few attempts, was able to go to the s/w upgrade mode.. (power + vol(-) )
Reflashed .kdz and it's all good.. (had to root again)
Actually, i was freaked out more coz it's my new phone and i didn't find others with the problem..
I hope that this thread would help if anyone faces a similar problem in the future..
Thanks for the prompt response, guys!

You needed to unlock bootloader first, either "adb reboot oem-unlock" or download terminal emulator, root the phone and type:
su
echo 40000000c8 > /sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved

From this page http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ you may download your original stock rom.

And once again:
flashing stock is not at all dangerous. it will not brick your device or something else.
Sometimes you even have to re-stock your phone.

Bootloader unlocking is only available if you're on JB. If your boot image is faulty you need to revert back to official JB.

So if I understood you right, you tried to install CWM without unlocking your boot loader? So now you got a boot image error? I'd suggest to try LG Mobile Support Tool and flash V20A/V20B and then unlock Boot loader. Even if you're on "official JB" as of now, installing CWM without unlocked bootloader screwed your boot image and there's no way to do anything without flashing back a kdz.

Did you unlock your bootloader? If not you can probably use your 4X as a brick.
And the tutorial you followed is not for a custom rom (zip files, flash through cwm) but for stock LG ROM (kdz files).
EDIT: Or did you try to go back to stock?
If so, you should try to connect in S/W Mode and manually flash a kdz. Search for it.
