Hello all,
I'm new to android phones (my first one) and I didn't find the answer to my question.
I wanted to update my unbranded Optimus 2X (Germany; V10C, 2.2.2) and the software under Win XP ended up with an error message and had to be closed, while updating.
When I start the LG2X now, I only get "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading...".
Now I could jump into the recovery (Power + Vol. down) and after pressing the home button I got into the menu of the Recovery Utility.
I can scroll between the following options with the vol. up and down buttons:
- reboot system now
- apply sdcard: update.zip
-wipe date/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Unfortunately I can't confirm any of those options. Nothing happens when pressing the power button. The home button hides the menu and all other softkeys are without function.
Can anyone please tell me how to do a factory reset now? I'm all new to this stuff.
The man from the support, who should collect my phone, didn't get here today, like it was announced by LG support.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!!
Best regards from Germany
NVFlash custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229407
Use that to factory reset instead.
OR
Use Smartflash to do the flash the debranded ROM, that should function fine as you have to boot into software update mode anyway.
Thanks! Smartflash did the job! I can use my P990 again.

Hi,
I've got a gingerbread ROM installed, and am having a problem with CWM.
At the moment, all I get is the options to boot WebOS, boot CM, WebOS recovery, shutdown, or reboot.
I have no options to mount storage or flash files, and have tried to re-flash CWM a number of times with no success.
Does anyone know what I've done wrong?
Also, if I go into the USB mode (power + vol up), on exiting this mode, the Touchpad won't do anything for about 10 minutes plus - just black screen & nothing happens when I press power button, or any other combination of buttons.
Help would be appreciated, as I can't install new roms etc from CWM, which is quite annoying!
Thanks!
EDIT: I've managed to fix this now - sorry for post! Cheers, and feel free to delete this thread.

how you fix this ?
I'm trying to get into recovery mode for the Optimus 2X(Stock ROM), but I can't seem to get into it.
I hold down the power button and the volume down button and I don't let go. And always one of the following happens :
1.
It goes into SW Upgrade, and I need to remove the battery.
2.
The LG Loading bar freezes for a bit, and this causes a factory reset on my phone.
I don't understand if I'm doing anything wrong, but from how it looks from my perspective its as the phone is ignoring the recovery mode.
I've looked online and through the forums, but I was unable to find a similar issue.
Does anyone know what i could try?
1. Have you installed CWM recovery, TWRP recovery etc?
2. The correct way boot into recovery is : 1st press and hold vol down button, then press and hold power button and release both once you see the blue LG halo.
If you haven't installed recovery yet, Do that using NVFlash tool. You can find that in Development section sticky!! or just search it!

I haven't installed any recovery, I thought that the one fron Android itself would've worked.
Hello,
After rooting my p880, my phone hangs at boot. Just after the boot sound (*pling* ) the phone is hanging. The boot image is still moving.
Things I tried already:
I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723, which tells to do a kdz update. This is not working, as I am not able to get to the S/W upgrade screen. Instead, when I start the phone using the power button + volume down, i get the Android system recovery menu (3e).
I tried to upload a new (cyanogenmod) rom using adb sideload, but that didn't work, as the file I used was damaged (I will retry with new file).
I also did a factory reset and a cache wipe.
Can someone tell me what is best to do?
Kind regards

Hye guys ! I have a big problem...last night i flashed cm10.2 after until last night i had Gingerbread.So i followed the steps,except the one with formatting the sistem cause i read that i have to do that only if i flash another cyanogen mod rom.After the rom i flashed gapps,and then i did Wipe Data / Factory Reset,then Wipe Cache Partition and finally Advanced - Wipe Davlik Cache.After that i restart the phone and surprise...i have bootloop...its keep restarting after i see the samsung logo and the animation.Its working to go to download mode,si i flashed the stock rom again and the latest cwm.I tried again to go recovery mode and its saying...RAMDUMP MODE
Please,someone some ideas ? :good:
wipe data etc.. before flashing cm if you are using stock.
Please , search before posting ! It's been discussed a lot of times, enter download mode , don't agree with the terms(vol-) then press the recovery key combination really fast , that worked for me, then wipe data/factory reset and it'll work
If it's going to your "ramdump" mode, you're pressing the wrong keys to go to recovery. If I'm not wrong, the "ramdump" mode only appears when you press down Vol+, home and power keys.
Guys,thanks for help..i fixed the problem after searching very deep on the web.
I DID THIS : ---> download mode , i did not agree with the terms,after that until the phone to boot i pressed recovery buttons,i released the power-button once the phone was on
CoX26 : Your post helped me a little,but belive me that you told me there i did first and it didn't work,so this was not discussed,thats why i posted my solution if anyone will have this kind of RAM DUMP.
So remember guys,release the power button,that was the key for me :good:

For me it worked, obviously i tried about 3 times until i got it right but it worked , my phone also went to ramdump , it was a matter of timing when pressing the keys
Go in to DOWNLOAD MODE (Vol - + Home + Power)
Connect to PC
Download Stock Rom
Flash via Odin

(Sorry for my eanglish)Hi gyus. I broke ma phone, but not totaly. I just want to install cyanogen, so I do much things on phone, but all of my guides are in Polish. I can paste it here but i don't think it will be helpful. So I install revowery TWRP from XDA using aboot v10b when I have v10f system and flashify, but i can't install CM. So i downgrade my system to 10b and than i install recovery. Showed up purple screen, so I turn phon on in download mode and by LG Mobile Support Tool I install oryginal system. Now I can use phone, but I cant go to recovery or do factory reset. When i wan't to do factory by kesy combination vol- + power i can see "Factory Reset Processing..." and after that only black screen. When I wan't to go to recovery by flashify I can only see
DBI Apps Watchdog Reset
DmiGod Crash Handler: DBI Apps Watchdog Reset

2) Get the ram dump image using QPST Configuration.
3) If sdcard ram dump enabled just wait for reboot.
4) Collect ramdump files from your pc to sdcard.
5) Send e-mail to [email protected]
What I must to do now?
Like you said:
"LG Mobile Support Tool I install oryginal system"
If you flashed the KDZ with LG support tool you don't have a custom recovery now, so your phone doesn't boot to it because it's locked.
You must root, unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery again.
my phone screen is purple with a written white letters: "DBI Apps Watchdog Reset" among other writings as well. What I have quefazer to be able to use it again?
My mobile phone is a L40
Has anybody over come this problem. I have it on my LG L40.
Thanks
