Hey y'all.
Please help me. My P990 is stuck right after the LG logo on bootup.
First of all, this is what ive done:
1. Rooting the phone - succesful
2. Following the guide to install CyanogenMod 7.1.0 (stable) ROM - succesfull
- Nandroid backup
- Wipe all data + cache
- Can't remember it all really lol, but i had cyanogenmod working succesfully!
3. I wanted "voodoo sound", therefor i was told i had to flash a new kernel, which was working to cyanogenmod - thats why i chosed this kernel: vorkKernel-OC/UV Kernel for CM[20111105] which can be found here on xda, sorry i cant link yet - so what i did was downloading the .apk file, and in there, i could choose some things to get with it, and then download the .zip to flash from recovery mode. So i downloaded, flashed it from Clockworkmod recovery and it finished succesfully. So i rebooted my phone, it came with the "LG", then the logo (without animation) and then just black screen.
I feel like i cant do anything. As always when i try to open recoverymode (power + vol. down) it comes with: "S/W Update" (while flashing and nandroid backuping ive used ROM Manager's function "Boot to recovery".)
Ive tried to press any buttons.
Ive tried to plug my phone to the computer, no effekt.
Im really lost! Please help me
Thanks.

Sounds like a boot loop. Check filesystem compatibility of the kernel you flashed. Might not be compatible with the one previously used by CM.
you should wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache if you want to flash the kernel. and in order to get work your phone again, you should nvflash cause your phone can't do anything
You're trying to enter recovery wrong. Hold both power and vol- for around 10secs. If you're getting S/W Update, you're only holding volume down.
vokkernal, how to make it work?
Hi, even I tried that, I got the same error... Can anyone suggest a way to make it work, or if any step is missing?
By the way, I used the latest Version on Cynogenmod (stable) (update-cm-7.1.0-Optimus2X-signed.zip), vokkernal app.
Thanks
Very sorry for slow answer!
Anyone can link a guide for a working NVFlash ? ive tried but it comes up with an "uid read fail" ind the cmd box, after the "Nvflash started" ???

hmm, I had the same problem trying to enter recovery, You have to press vol down and then power. If you do it at the same time sometimes doesnt work. So try pressing it before power and keep them pressed until you see the LG Logo (but the one with a bit of blue light) then you can't unpress them.
Download smartflash and download stock rom along with baseband and flash it using smartflash by pulling out battery from phone press volumedown and insert usb cable and soon check procedure in xda forum.i garuntee you it will work as i faced same issue

Hi Folks,
I had a CyanogenMod-6.1 for Nexus One :: V6.1.0-RC1 (10/28/2010) installed on my Nexus 1.
Prior to that i was using CM6.0 RC1 stable release. Did an upgrade (with full void and nandroid backup) to try out the new features.
However this afternoon, out of nowhere, my volume buttons and trackball started to malfunction.
i.e to say : I cannot adjust volumes in any part of the apps/phone and i can't select/click stuffs with the Trackball.
Hence, I thought of removing CM6.1. Here's the problem started.
#1. I can't boot into recovery. The phone itself will be stuck at the big "X" screen. After 5mins, it will boot into CM6.1
- Using ROM Manager i tried to reflash Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.0 for a couple of times but i still cannot get into Recovery.
Be it powering up with trackball held down, booting into recovery up via Rom Manager. Surprisingly, volume down was working together with power down was able to go into Bootloader
for me to select "Recovery", however, i still can't access Recovery.
#2. I tried using ./fastboot-mac flash recovery updatedclockwork.img also can't.
#3. I tried using Amon-RA. ./fastboot-mac flash recovery Amon-RA.img also to no avail.
#4. i used ./fastboot-mac update to load a StockFRF91 Froyo also can't get into recovery.
As of now, my phone is stuck continuously in bootloop, cannot access Recovery. I've tried almost 30+ fixes on XDA and other Android Forums but i still can't fix it.
Is there anyway, i can wipe everything inclusive of the "Corrupted Recovery" files and restore back my Nexus One?
Thank you all please save my phone! :'(
Dude I feel your pain. I have the exact same problem. I wonder if it is a CM6 issue?
Hi all you clever guys I need your help!
Yesterday I decided to try making myself a new theme for my O2X and now I'm stuck in boot.
I have flashed my phone many times before but now I feel like an idiot.
Please advice me on how to save my phone.
After making the theme using a theme generator I found here on XDA I installed the zip file via Recovery mode and booted my phone. It then looped in the LG startup image.
I wiped the phone and ran back up in Recovery mode then tried rebooting but no luck.
I have also tried to flash with my last used Custom ROM but the phone is now stuck in boot and only shows the screen with the LG logo and process bar.
Please advice me on what I can do to save my phone.
On top of it all I have a problem with my PC so I can not install the LG PC suite SW and can not connect my phone to the PC via USB.
Why on earth did I do this....
Dont worry at all, are you sure you have wiped your data and cache partition? Do this and then flash some ROM (can recommend latest CM7 build).
If its a no go, you can always flash original firmware with nvflash (there's a tutorial for this, just look it up)
Hope I helped
All you need to do is reflash the current rom you are using now without a wipe and that will fix you problem.
If you get bootloop from something you have just flashed just reflash the current rom without a wipe and that will fix ya problem, for next time hey????
Can you get in to recovery??
Hi
Thanks for your inputs and help! Currently downloading NVFlash on my PC and will try it out.
Yes I can enter recovery by pressing vol down key and power button at the same time. (thank Good for that!)
do a full wipe in recovery and flash the rom of your choice, just make sure you have the correct ext 3 or 4 or you will get bootloop
Well, i wanted to change my rom, CM 7.2, with DjangoManouche 1.2 and used the rom below..i backed up, and when i started flashing, it said that"this is not a ROM"..i..kind of panicked and after a minute, when i seen "nothing moves" i removed the battery. When i tried to start the phone, it only shows the LG logo..but does not boot(i waited for just 1-2 minutes..). I hope someone could help me.

I recall reading something about using NVFlash to force the stock rom on and allowing to recover from a bricking.
I'll defer to someone with experience in fixing bricked phones though.
Thank you...now..it wont even start, even when i plug-in the charger..it had pretty low battery..i am pretty ducked..
You have to reflash it with KDZ recovery method. Look up google and you'll get it working. I did this the first time too (what a bad joke to say "this is not a ROM")...
I'm sure you can still enter Cwm if you hold down volume- while pressing power button until it the Cwm menu appears.

First of all, don't worry, O2X is pretty unbrickable...at least in the level you're messing with it!
If you have recovery installed, you should be able to reboot into recovery : press and hold vol down button, then power button until you see blue halo of LG. before that, download another ROM and put it in your external SDcard. Flash that ROM.
You can also download and flash the original firmware of LG by using smartflash. You can find those in ANDROID DEVELOPMENT section!
Also check KDZ recovery!!
Thank you..it worked with recovery mode..i had back-ups. I got a bit scared because when i pressed vol_dwn+ shut down button..after i release the 2nd button, it turned off...but i menaged to make it. Again, thank you for help.
====================
well, today i tried again to install a new rom(temasek's cm7 last build)..but i couldn't..after it is installed it get's into boot and stays like that..i tried to AOKP and it worked..my backup also worked...i just can't get it, why these roms won't work?

The common mistake for new people is that they restore entire nandroid backup after flashing ROM. CWM doesn't have option to backup DATA only, so you have to restore DATA from nandroid backup using Titanium Backup etc.
Try this:
1. Restore into fully functioning ROM(+data) if you don't have already
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Format /system
4. Flash new ROM
5. Clear cache and dalvik cache
6. Check if phone successfully boots
7. Flash Gapps if needed.
8. DO NOT DO ANY RESTORES AFTER STEP 1!!
9. If it doesn't work out, try another ROM. There may be some error with the file!!
Hi all.
I've used standart OS for a long time and I decided to install CM10 (JB) using Clockwork Recovery 6.0.1.8.
First of all, have installed Clockwork and put CM10 and Gapps in sdcard.
After that, i start tablet in recovery mode and 've installed CM10 via Clockwork. Without rebooting, i have installed Gapps also via Clockwork.
But i forgot to wipe device before that
So after rebooting i got animated video with triangles. Waiting for 20 minutes... nothing. After 30, i switched off device pressing power button.
After switching it on, there is that triangles...
I have entered to recovery and wipe all data, but device freezed on cleaning cache. I had no choice and reboot it.
But he kept silence, lol. Nothing happened, black screen. Recovery also didn't work.
Connecting to PC... Found XPA device (or not XPA, i forgot). So i googled about it and download and install special driver.
Now device defines as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices.
Odin cant see the device, ofc. Recovery isn't working.
nvflash --sync:
Code:
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
(After this comand, device autounplugged)
I don't know what to do, please help me to recover my brick.
kudos on the full and clear report.
but too many parallel threads for same issue

Could you tell us what kernel are you using? Apparently, from what i read in this forum cm10 with old HC kernel will not brick while wipe. Thanks.

Hi guys, can anyone pls do help me. been troubleshooting and try to fix this thing for 2 days already.
The problem is, my fon will always boot to recovery. Eventhough i choose restart to system it will always go back to recovery.
I tried turn off, and push the power button only, still it will boot to recovery.
This started happening just a sudden, my fon run out of battery. Then its dead, i recharge. When try boot again the recovery boot problem begin.
I tried to restore my backup that iv made after the fresh installation of the CM13, restoration is good. But it still boot to recovery.
I then tried flashed the original rom with fastboot, ( i can access fastboot via the options in recovery, im using the TWRP recovery.
Or else i wouldnt be able to access fastboot also, even if i push (vol down+power button) when the fon is off, it will goes directly to recovery.
Anyone has any idea? please help =(

Hi bro thanks for suggestion, will do try it out. Iv looked at the solution, but it seems that is a problem if cant use fastboot flash with Mi Flash, I have no problem flashing to stock rom in fastboot. Iv used this solution from this link below to manually flash in the fastboot. Its working for people who are having problem of "MI FLASH PARTITION TABLE DOESNT EXIST".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/guide-flashing-fastboot-miui-roms-t2938279
But the problem is still it will boot up to recovery also.
