[Q] I think i just bricked my new LG Optimus Black [RESOLVED]

Hi all. I'm new to Android and in my ignorance i messed up my new phone.
I have a week old LG Optimus Black and i rooted it using GingerBreak and i was messing with Titanium Backup to uninstall some of the LG pre-installed bloatware.
I'm pretty sure i uninstalled something calle LGHome which after exiting TiBackup made the screen white. So if i am correct, i uninstalled the launcher and the whole menu system?
Now when i try to turn on the phone, it's stuck in LG logo and won't turn on. I am able to get it to S/W update screen by pressing volume+ and plug into USB. The LG Update software recognizes it but it says the phone is up to date so it doesn't do anything.
Could someone advise me on what to try next?
Regards.

Still looking for help.
Where could i find the original ROM for the P970?

Update:
Thanks to a fine gentleman over at android . modaco . com (apparently i can't post links) i have recovered my phone LG Optimus Black P970 to a fully working state.
Here is his post for those having similiar problems (can't post links yet, but will update when i can)
Basically, the LG Mobile update software has a built in recovery and if you put in the IMEI or serial number, it will download the original ROM and recover the phone. I just pressed down volume+ and plugged in USB and the phone goes into S/W update mode. In my case i had unintentionally uninstalled the launcher/homescreen, so when the recovery was complete, the homescreen was back to stock, but all my programs were still intact. It did not wipe the internal SD.

Which Rom did you have installed previously? I hope it was CM7, if not, READ THE discription
you can either use adb, to reboot to recovery (search adb for your mac)
via moving to the adb folder in a console/terminal
and then typing adb reboot recovery, if you had a custom ROM installed.
If not, make a virtual machine in your mac (google it) install windows and then recover it via B2C.

yes, i was using cyanogenmod 7, i used your method, but doesn't work for me, now it stuck on the welcome screen of the carrier (telcel)
im using windows right now

Already looked into this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105 ?
If not, do it and follow the links provided there!

thanks N00BY0815, you and the guy who made the post of the solution saved my optimus black. I'm so happy xD my phone it's alive. And sorry for the bad search of the problem, i saw this post and read "solved" and i hoped there was a solution for my problem.
by the way, when you talk with a noob, speak noob language xD (i dont know what B2C is)

oops... you shouldn't uninstall the lg home~~~ such an importent app..

Application asked me to type the model and S/N of my phone so I did that and again the whole process of recovery was ok (with no errors)... Then the phone rebooted on the end which is normal and again started with no effect of recovery.. it was the same ZEUS 7 rom, not stable and with all the data and settings from few days ago... I decided to use Titanium Backup to uninstall all the apps and I was trying to instal ROM MANAGER and run the recovery mode but in the middle of my work the phone freez again and then rebooted and then again freeze on LG logo... I took out the battery and again turned it on and when the system was loaded I find out that all the programs which I have deleted with TITANIUM BACKUP was restored somehow... EVERY time I try to restart in normal mode, reboot in recovery mode or even after flashing system is restarting automaticaly, it freeze on LG logo and the only way to run it again is to take out this battery... then system restoring all data and settings for some reason... can you help me with that?? maybe some of you know whot software i should use to do the FULL WIPE and get rid of the old borken system?? and by the way I'm realy sorry but my language is not perfect Thanks in advance for help

[Q] Cannot install ClockworkMod Recovery, stuck reboot loop. Please Help

Hello
I recently got a LG Optimus 2x phone from Wind Mobile in Canada. I was successful in rooting the phone using Super One click and was able to install and run Titanium Backup, Busybox and a few other apps requiring root Access.
Following the numerous guides on the internet, I tried to install the ClockWorkMod Rom Manager (from the market), but when i click on the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and select my phone it will download across the top and give the error "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands". When i try to run anything else after I get a force stop error and eventually my phone will just restart on it's own and go into a Loop.
At this point i have to hold down the power and volume down key to boot into the recovery, but most if not all my apps are gone at this point.
I have tried to run the the "Fix Permissions" command from clockworksMOD but that does not work and the same errors happen.
A few extra notes:
I did it with and without an SD card installed
USB Debug mode and install from Unknown Sources are enabled
I do not turn on USB storage
I have tried unrooting and re-rooting and doing everything over but issue still persists
Problem summarized
-With USB debug and install from unknown sources enabled, rooted phone via Super One Click
-After reboot installed and tested several apps that require Root; Titanium Backup, SU, Reboot and system Utilities
-Installed ClockworkMod (Free) from the Market
-When trying to run "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and select my phone it will download across the top and give the error "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands".
-Shortly after my phone will get stuck in a reboot loop, which i have to boot in recovery mode to get back in
-"Fix Permissions" does not help and goes back into reboot loop when done
What i want to do in the end is install Nandroid to backup my current Rom, then install some custom roms to see which best suits my taste. Any ideas how i can fix this issue i am having or any places that show how to fix it, i have checked for hours on end but can't find anything.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Did you make sure to clear the various chaches before flashing the new ROM?

Okay i found the problem.
Wind Mobile sells it as a LG Optimus 2X but it's a p999 meaning it's the T-Mobile LG Optimus G2x
Once i selected the G2X from the Clockwork Mod it worked. while the Optimus 2x was giving me the problems
This is big news as the phone was just released yesterday i can expect a lot of people in the next few days asking about Wind Mobile LG phones

Works with Mobilicity unlocked Version of same phone.
Thanks for the heads up Since both phones operate on AWS I'm sure there will be same issue with Mobilicity.

i have had the same problem
thanks for your guide.

Man... thank you! I thought I bricked my phone...

Dang, I should've read this first. Damn Wind for using Optimus 2X name
So I'm stuck on LG logo after installing ClockworkMod and selecting Optimus 2x. Did the hard reset with volume down key, but just stuck in "S/W Upgrade. Please wait while upgrading..." screen. Is it normal to be this long?
Can't access phone/recovery menu at all. I'm lost now. Should I attempt to restore the original wind ROM somehow?
Edit: Managed to run ClockworkMod Recovery by following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Will try again now using G2X :|

you should reflash the phone. it will stuck there forever if you did nothing with it. it's meant to be flashed with rom.

I had the same problem, just hold down the volume (down), power and home key. It'll factory reset ur phone..

Hey guys,
I bought a brand new Optimus 2X from Wind and I unlocked it to use with Mobilicity in Canada.
It was working great for the first day, but then when the battery died and I charged it, it just keep rebooting.
It turns on, but it won't load anything past the Wind mobile start up. It just keeps relooping.
Any suggestions?

try flashing or updating to the T-Mobile G2X rom with gingerbread 2.3.3 by following this:

[Q] Lg Optimus 2x stuck on Lg logo (startup)

I wanted to use a custom ROM to use Ice Cream Sandwich OS, on my LG Optimus 2x (Lg-P999 from wind mobile provider). i used the ROM Manager that i downloaded from the market, the ROM is: "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-SelfKANG3-G2x-signed". I used "SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse" to root my phone.
The installation failed because it seemed to be non existent, or not found in the directory. I rebooted the phone, and it only loads up to the Lg Logo with the loading bar, the bar is moving, then stops. I left it on like that for 1 day, and it still hasn't loaded. I tried to Hold Power + Down volume key, it takes me to a "Android system recovery utility" i can use the volume keys to highlight my choices, but i can't select anything.
I really regret doing this to my phone, i wish to recover it back to the way it was on Android Gingerbread 2.2.

I have the SAME problem. People are saying use NVFlash or Smart Flash or Go into Recovery mode. I used NVFlash - doesn't work for me and I tried the Recovery mode like you and I can't choose anything. It's suprising that there's NOTHING in these forums to help us.

To the first guy: Wrong forum. He'll find everything he needs in the G2X forum.
To the last guy: Probably the same, since NVFlash or Smartflash usually works fine. You didn't mention your model though.

[Q] ROM Manager freezing

This was my first rooting the phone.
I used the "HOW TO: Root LG Optimus Black P970 Running Gingerbread on Any Software Version" video from YouTube as a guide.
I did it succesfully and everything looked to be fine on P970 V20G.
Then I tried installing ROM Manager but the phone reboots everytime an app installs..
I figured out that I had to use a different Superuser installer(from official SU site) rather than the one given in the video.
I was now able to install apps and now that I could run ROM Manager, I loaded CM10 stable on my microSD card.
I tapped on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and selected LGE Optimus Black.
When the blue bar was full, the app froze and nothing happens.
I tried other apps that required root like Beats Audio Installer, it also froze.
Any known fix for this?

[Q] Lg Thrill System File Recovery

Hello,
I made the mistake of taking my Lg Thrill p925 and trying to install an ICS mod on android froyo. (QMEMO), So anyway's when I had tried to boot up the Thrill, and discovered it was stuck in a boot lock. After going back into CWM I had done a factory reset and realized it continued to remain in a boot lock. At first I had gone and cleared everything then reinstalled the stock rom after discovering that didn't work, without considering the consequences I had cleared the internal sd card. I quickly realized I made a mistake, thinking that the system file's would remain unchanged I went ahead and cleared it. I was wrong and there was nothing left and no backup's made to a nonpresent external SD card.
Originally I though ok no big deal I can just go in CWM which support's adb sideload and reinstall the stock rom/ system files. I discovered that the Thrill was not recognized by the pc as anything but an LGE COSMO usb Device and there is no driver to be installed for this. So I basically gave up hope after that thinking I had tried everthing (odin included). So I was wondering is there any other way to reinstall the system file's so I can stop using the Iphone 3g I had laying around . If you can help me please let me know.

hi Garret_Broemser
